奥巴马图森枪击案疗伤演讲辞

奥巴马2012年12月15日校园枪击案演讲译文【原创】On Friday, we learned that more than two dozen people were killed when a gunman opened fire in an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.本周五，我们惊悉在康涅狄克州纽顿城的一所小学，一名枪手向师生们开枪射击，造成二十几人丧生。

Most of those who died were just young children with their whole lives ahead of them. And every parent in America has a heart heavy with hurt. Among the fallen were also teachers – men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.逝者中的大多数都是生命之花尚未绽开的孩子们。

所有美国的父母们都为此肝肠寸断。

逝者中还有几位老师—为帮助孩子们实现他们的梦想奉献了生命的男男女女们。

So our hearts are broken today. We grieve for the families of those we lost. And we keep in our prayers the parents of those who survived. Because as blessed as they are to have their children home, they know that their child’s innocence has been torn away far too early.今天我们痛彻心扉。

美国总统奥巴马上周发表电台讲话，悼念枪击案遇难者，希望悲剧不再重演。

One year ago today, a quiet, peaceful town was shattered by unspeakable violence.Six dedicated school workers and 20 beautiful children were taken from our lives forever.As parents, as Americans, the news filled us with grief. Newtown is a town like so many of our hometowns. The victims were educators and kids that could have been any of our own.And our hearts were broken for the families that lost a piece of their heart; for the communities changed forever; for the survivors, so young, whose innocence was torn away far too soon.But beneath the sadness, we also felt a sense of resolve –that these tragedies must end, and that to end them, we must change.From the very beginning, our efforts were led by the parents of Newtown – men and women, impossibly brave, who stepped forward in the hopes that they might spare others their heartbreak. And they were joined by millions of Americans – mothers and fathers; sisters and brothers – who refused to accept these acts of violence as somehow inevitable.Over the past year, their voices have sustained us. And their example has inspired us – to be better parents and better neighbors; to give our children everything they need to face the world without fear; to meet our responsibilities not just to our own families, but to our communities. More than the tragedy itself, that’s how Newtown will be remembered.And on this anniversary of a day we will never forget, that’s the example we should continue to follow. Because we haven’t yet done enough to make our communities and our country safer. We have to do more to keep dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun so easily. We have to do more to heal troubled minds. We have to do everything we can to protect our children from harm and make them feel loved, and valued, and cared for.And as we do, we can’t lose sight of the fact that real change won’t come from Washington. It will come the way it’s always come – from you. From the American people.As a nation, we can’t stop every act of violence. We can’t heal every troubled mind. But if we want to live in a country where we can go to work, send our kids to school, and walk our streets free from fear, we have to keep trying. We have to keep caring. We have to treat every child like they’re our child. Like those in Sandy Hook, we must choose love. And together, we must make a change.Thank you.。

奥巴马总统就美国海军后备人员枪击案英语演讲稿奥巴马总统就美国海军后备人员枪击案英语演讲稿I just received a briefing from FBI Director Comey, as well as my White House team, about the tragic shooting that took place in Chattanooga today. We don't know yet all the details. We know that what appears to be a lone gunman carried out these attacks. We've identified a name. And at this point, a full investigation is taking place. The FBI will be in the lead, working closely with local law enforcement. We've also been in contact with the Department of Defense to make sure that all our Defensefacilities are properly attentive and vigilant as we sort through exactly what happened. And asdetails of the investigation proceed, we'll make sure that the FBI, as well as local lawenforcement are providing the public with all the information that's involved. My main message right now is, obviously, the deepest sympathies of the American people tothe four Marines that have been killed. It is a heartbreaking circumstance for these individualswho have served our country with great valor to be killed in this fashion. And although the families are still in the process of being contacted, I want them to know that Ispeak for the American people in expressing our deepest condolences, and knowing that theyhave our full support as they try to overe the grief that's involved here. I also want to say that there are reports of injuries to Chattanooga local law enforcementofficials. Thankfully, as far as we know at this point, they have survived the assault. And wewant to make sure that they know that we're thinking of them. They're in our thoughts andprayers.We take all shootings very seriously. Obviously, when you have an attackon a U.S. military facility, then we have to make sure thatwe have all the information necessary to make an assessment in terms of how this attack tookplace, and what further precautions we can take in the future. And as we have moreinformation, we'll let the public know. But in the meantime, I'd ask all Americans to pray for the families who are grief-stricken atthis point. And I want everybody to understand that we will be thorough and prompt infiguring out exactly what happened.。

奥巴马演讲对图森枪击事件发表声明THE PRESIDENT: As many of you are aware, earlier today a number of people were shot in Tucson, Arizona, including several who were meeting at a supermarket with their congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords. We are still assembling all the facts, but we know that Representative Giffords was one of the victims. She is currently at a hospital in the area, and she is battling for her life.We also know that at least five people lost their lives in this tragedy. Among them were a federal judge, John Roll, who has served America’s legal system for almost 40 years; and a young girl who was barely nine years old.I’ve spoken to Arizona governor Jan Brewer 1 and offered the full resources of the federal government. A suspect is currently in custody 2 （被拘留）, but we don’t yet know what provoked（激怒，挑衅） this unspeakable act. A comprehensive investigation 3 is currently underway, and at my direction, Director Bob Mueller is en route（在途中） to Arizona to help coordinate 4 these efforts. I’ve also spoken to the Democratic and Republican leaders in the House.Gabby Giffords was a friend of mine. She is not only anextraordinary public servant, but she is also somebody who is warm and caring. She is well liked by her colleagues and well liked by her constituents 5 . Her husband, Mark Kelly, is a Navy captain and one of America’s valiant 6 （英勇的）astronauts.It’s not surprising that today Gabby was doing what she always does -- listening to the hopes and concerns of her neighbors.That is the essence of what our democracy is all about.That is why this is more than a tragedy for those involved. It is a tragedy for Arizona and a tragedy for our entire country.What Americans do at times of tragedy is to come together and support each other.So at this time I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping all the victims and their families, including Gabby, in our thoughts and prayers. Those who have been injured, we are rooting for them.And I know Gabby is as tough as they come, and I am hopeful that she’s going to pull through.Obviously our hearts go out to the family members of those who have been slain 7 . We are going to get to the bottom of this, and we’re going to get through this. But in the meantime, I think all of us need to make sure that we’reoffering our thoughts and prayers to those concerned.Thank you.■文章重点单词注释：1brewern. 啤酒制造者参考例句：Brewer is a very interesting man. 布鲁尔是一个很有趣的人。

As many of you yknow,early on Friday,at least 12 people were killed when a gunman opened fire at a movie theater inAurora,Colorado.dozens more are being treated for injuries atlocal hospitals.some of the victims are being treatd atchildren’s hospital.we’re what hill gathering all the facts about what happened,but we do know that the police have one suspect in custody.the fedaral government stands ready to doeverything necessary to bring whoever’s responsible for thisheinous crime to justice.We will take every step possible toensure the safety of all our people.and we will stand by our neighbors in Colorado during this extraordinarily difficult time.even as we come to learn how this happened and who’s responsible,we may never understand what leads to anyone to terrorize their fellow human beings.such evil is senseless—beyond reason.But while we will never know fully what causes someone to take the life of another,we do know what makes life worth living.the people we lost in Aurora loved,and were loved,they were mothers and fathers;husbands andwives;sisters and brothers;sons and daughters;friends andneighbors.They had hopes for the future and dreams that were not yet fulfilled.And if there’s anything to take away from this tragedy,it’s a reminder that life is fragile.Our time here is limited and it’s precious.And what matters in the end are not the small and trivial things which so often consume our lives,it’s how we choose to treat one another ,and love one another.It’s what we do on a daily basis to give our lives meaning and give our lives purpose.That’s whatmatters.That’s why we are here.I’m sure many of you who areparents had the same reaction I did when you first heard this news: what if it had been my daughters at the theater ,doing what young children enjoy doing every day?Michelle and I will be fortunate enough to hug our girls a little tighter this weekend,as I’m sure you will do with your children.But for those parents who may not be so fortunate ,we need to embrace them and let them know we will be there for them as a nation.This weekend I hope everyone takes some time for prayer and reglection—for the victims of this terrible tragedy,for the people who knew them and loved them,forthose who are still struggling to recover,and for all the victims of less publicized acts of violence that plague our communities on a daily basis.Let’s keep all these Americans in our prayers.And to the people of Aurora,may the Lord bring you comfort and healing in the hard days to come.。

The White HouseOffice of the Press SecretaryFor Immediate ReleaseJanuary 12, 2011Remarks by the President at a Memorial Service for the Victims of the Shooting in Tucson, ArizonaMcKale Memorial CenterUniversity of ArizonaTucson, Arizona6:43 P.M. MSTTHE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you very much. Please, please beseated. (Applause.)To the families of those we’ve lost; to all who called them friends; to the students of this university, the public servants who are gathered here, the people of Tucson and the people of Arizona: I have come here tonight as an American who, like all Americans, kneels to pray with you today and will stand by you tomorrow. (Applause.)There is nothing I can say that will fill the sudden hole torn in your hearts. But knowthis: The hopes of a nation are here tonight. We mourn with you for the fallen. We join you in your grief. And we add our faith to yours that Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the other living victims of this tragedy will pull through. (Applause.)Scripture tells us:There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,the holy place where the Most High dwells.God is within her, she will not fall;God will help her at break of day.On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech. (Applause.) They were fulfilling a central tenet of the democracy envisioned by our founders –- representatives of the people answering questions to their constituents, so as to carry their concerns back to our nation’s capital.Gabby called it “Congress on Your Corner” -– just an updated version of government of and by and for the people. (Applause.)And that quintessentially American scene, that was the scene that was shattered by a gunman’s bullets. And the six people who lost their lives on Saturday –- they, too, represented what is best in us, what is best in America. (Applause.)Judge John Roll served our legal system for nearly 40 years. (Applause.) A graduate of this university and a graduate of this law school -- (applause) -- Judge Roll was recommended for the federal bench by John McCain 20 years ago -- (applause) -- appointed by President George H.W. Bush and rose to becom e Arizona’s chief federal judge. (Applause.)His colleagues described him as the hardest-working judge within the Ninth Circuit. He was on his way back from attending Mass, as he did every day, when he decided to stop by and say hi to his representative. John is survived by his loving wife, Maureen, his three sons and his five beautiful grandchildren. (Applause.)George and Dorothy Morris -–“Dot” to her friends -– were high school sweethearts who got married and had two daughters. They did everything together -- traveling the open road intheir RV, enjoying what their friends called a 50-year honeymoon. Saturday morning, they went by the Safeway to hear what their congresswoman had to say. When gunfire rang out, George, a former Marine, instinctively tried to shield his wife. (Applause.) Both were shot. Dot passed away.A New Jersey native, Phyllis Schneck retired to Tucson to beat the snow. But in the summer, she would return East, where her world revolved around her three children, her seven grandchildren and 2-year-old great-granddaughter. A gifted quilter, she’d often work under a favorite tree, or sometimes she'd sew aprons with the logos of the Jets and the Giants -- (laughter) -- to give out at the church where she volunteered. A Republican, she took a liking to Gabby, and wanted to get to know her better. (Applause.)Dorwan and Mavy Stoddard grew up in Tucson together -– about 70 years ago. They moved apart and started their own respective families. But after both were widowed they found their way back here, to, as one of Mavy’s daughters put it, “be boyfriend and girlfriendagain.” (Laughter.)When they weren’t out on the road in their motor home, you could find them just up the road, helping folks in need at the Mountain Avenue Church of Christ. A retired construction worker, Dorwan spent his spare time fixing up the church along with his dog, Tux. His final act of selflessness was to dive on top of his wife, sacrificing his life for hers. (Applause.)Everything -- everything -- Gabe Zimmerman did, he did with passion. (Applause.) But his true passion was helping people. As Gabby’s outreach director, he made the cares of thousands of her constituents his own, seeing to it that seniors got the Medicare benefits that they had earned, that veterans got the medals and the care that they deserved, that government was working for ordinary folks. He died doing what he loved -– talking with people and seeing how he could help. And Gabe is survived by his parents, Ross and Emily, his brother, Ben, and his fiancée, Kelly, who he planned to marry next year. (Applause.)And then there is nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green. Christina was an A student; she was a dancer; she was a gymnast; she was a swimmer. She decided that she wanted to be the first woman to play in the Major Leagues, and as the only girl on her Little League team, no one put it past her. (Applause.)She showed an appreciation for life uncommon for a girl her age. She’d remind her mother, “We are so blessed. We have t he best life.”And she’d pay those blessings back by participating in a charity that helped children who were less fortunate.Our hearts are broken by their sudden passing. Our hearts are broken -– and yet, our hearts also have reason for fullness.Our hearts are full of hope and thanks for the 13 Americans who survived the shooting,including the congresswoman many of them went to see on Saturday.I have just come from the University Medical Center, just a mile from here, where our friend Gabby courageously fights to recover even as we speak. And I want to tell you -- her husband Mark is here and he allows me to share this with you -- right after we went to visit, a few minutes after we left her room and some of her colleagues in Congress were in the room, Gabby opened her eyes for the first time. (Applause.) Gabby opened her eyes for the firsttime. (Applause.)Gabby opened her eyes. Gabby opened her eyes, so I can tell you she knows we are here. She knows we love her. And she knows that we are rooting for her through what is undoubtedly going to be a difficult journey. We are there for her. (Applause.)Our hearts are full of thanks for that good news, and our hearts are full of gratitude forthose who saved others. We are grateful to Daniel Hernandez -- (applause) -- a volunteer in Gabby’s office. (Applause.)And, Daniel, I’m sorry, you may deny it, but we’ve decided you are a hero because -- (applause) -- you ran through the chaos to minister to your boss, and tended to her wounds and helped keep her alive. (Applause.)We are grateful to the men who tackled the gunman as he stopped to reload. (Applause.) Right over there. (Applause.) We are grateful for petite Patricia Maisch, who wrestled away the killer’s ammunition, and undoubtedly sa ved some lives. (Applause.) And we are grateful forthe doctors and nurses and first responders who worked wonders to heal those who’d beenhurt. We are grateful to them. (Applause.)These men and women remind us that heroism is found not only on the fields of battle. They remind us that heroism does not require special training or physical strength. Heroism is here, in the hearts of so many of our fellow citizens, all around us, just waiting to be summoned -–as it was on Saturday morning. Their actions, their selflessness poses a challenge to each of us. It raises a question of what, beyond prayers and expressions of concern, is required of us going forward. How can we honor the fallen? How can we be true to their memory?You see, when a tragedy like this strikes, it is part of our nature to demand explanations –-to try and pose some order on the chaos and make sense out of that which seemssenseless. Already we’ve seen a national conversation commence, not only about themotivations behind these killings, but about everything from the merits of gun safety laws tothe adequacy of our mental health system. And much of this process, of debating what might be done to prevent such tragedies in the future, is an essential ingredient in our exercise ofself-government.But at a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized -– at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do -–it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure thatwe’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. (Applause.)Scripture tells us that there is evil in the world, and that terrible things happen for reasons that defy human understanding. In the words of Job, “When I looked for light, then came darkness.” Bad things happen, and we have to guard against simple explanations in the aftermath.For the truth is none of us can know exactly what triggered this vicious attack. None of us can know with any certainty what might have stopped these shots from being fired, or what thoughts lurked in the inner recesses of a violent man’s mind. Yes, we have to examine all the facts behind this tragedy. We cannot and will not be passive in the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of such violence in the future. (Applause.) But what we cannot do is use this tragedy as one more occasion to turn on each other. (Applause.) That we cannot do. (Applause.) That we cannot do.As we discuss these issues, let each of us do so with a good dose of humility. Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let’s use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together. (Applause.)After all, that’s what most of us do when we lose somebody in our family -– especially if the loss is unexpected. We’re shaken out of our routines.We’re forced to look inward. We reflect on the past: Did we spend enough time with an aging parent, we wonder. Did we express our gratitude for all the sacrifices that they made for us? Did we tell a spouse just how desperately we loved them, not just once in a while but every single day?So sudden loss causes us to look backward -– but it also forces us to look forward; to reflect on the present and the future, on the manner in which we live our lives and nurture our relationships with those who are still with us. (Applause.)We may ask ourselves if we’ve shown enough kindness and generosity and compassion to the people in our lives. Perhaps we question whether we're doing right by our children, or our community, whether our priorities are in order.We recognize our own mortality, and we are reminded that in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame -– but rather, how well we have loved -- (applause)-- and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better. (Applause.)And that process -- that process of reflection, of making sure we align our values with our actions –- that, I believe, is what a tragedy like this requires.For those who were harmed, those who were killed –- they are part of our family, an American family 300 million strong. (Applause.) We may not have known them personally, but surely we see ourselves in them. In George and Dot, in Dorwan and Mavy, we sense the abiding love we have for our own husbands, our own wives, our own life partners. Phyllis –- she’s our mom orour grandma; Gabe our brother or son. (Applause.) In Judge Roll, we recognize not only a man who prized his family and doing his job well, but also a man who embodied America’s fidelity to the law. (Applause.)And in Gabby -- in Gabby, we see a reflection of our public-spiritedness; that desire to participate in that sometimes frustrating, sometimes contentious, but always necessary and never-ending process to form a more perfect union. (Applause.)And in Christina -- in Christina we see all of our children. So curious, so trusting, so energetic, so full of magic. So deserving of our love. And so deserving of our good example.If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate -- as it should -- let’s make sure it’s worthy of those we have lost. (Applause.) Let’s make sure it’s not on the usual plane of politics and point-scoring and pettiness that drifts away in the next news cycle.The loss of these wonderful people should make every one of us strive to be better. To be better in our private lives, to be better friends and neighbors and coworkers and parents. And if, as has been discussed in recent days, their death helps usher in more civility in our public discourse, let us remember it is not because a simple lack of civility caused this tragedy -- it did not -- but rather because only a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to the challenges of our nation in a way that would make themproud. (Applause.)We should be civil because we want to live up to the example of public servants like John Roll and Gabby Giffords, who knew first and foremost that we are all Americans, and that we can question each other’s ideas without questioning each other’s love of country and that our task, working together, is to constantly widen the circle of our concern so that we bequeath the American Dream to future generations. (Applause.)They believed -- they believed, and I believe that we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved life here –- they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another, that’s entirely up to us. (Applause.)And I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us. (Applause.)That’s what I believe, in part because that’s what a child like Christina Taylor Green believed. (Applause.)Imagine -- imagine for a moment, here was a young girl who was just becoming aware of our democracy; just beginning to understand the obligations of citizenship; just starting to glimpse the fact that some day she, too, might play a part in shaping her nation’sfuture. She had been elected to her student council. She saw public service as something exciting and hopeful. She was off to meet her congresswoman, someone she was sure was good and important and might be a role model. She saw all this through the eyes of a child, undimmed by the cynicism or vitriol that we adults all too often just take for granted.I want to live up to her expectations. (Applause.) I want our democracy to be as good as Christina imagined it. I want America to be as good as she imagined it. (Applause.) All of us -–we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children’s expectations. (Applause.)As has already been mentioned, Christina was given to us on September 11th, 2001, one of 50 babies born that day to be pictured in a book called “Faces of Hope.” On either side of her photo in that book were simple wishes for a child’s life.“I hope you help those in need,” read one. “I hope you know all the words to the National Anthem and sing it with your hand over your heart." (Applause.) "I hope you jump in rain puddles.”If there are rain puddles in Heaven, Christina is jumping in them today. (Applause.) And here on this Earth -- here on this Earth, we place our hands over our hearts, and we commit ourselves as Americans to forging a country that is forever worthy of her gentle, happy spirit.May God bless and keep those we’ve lost in restful and eternal peace. May He love and watch over the survivors. And may He bless the United States of America. (Applause.)END 7:17 P.M. MST。

奥巴马告别演讲稿(中英文版)2016年12月16日，美国总统奥巴马在白宫举行年终记者会。

以下是为大家分享的奥巴马告别演讲中文版，供大家参考借鉴!奥巴马告别演讲中文版很高兴回家，回到芝加哥!回家真好!正如你们所见，我现在是个"跛脚鸭”总统，因为没有人再听从我的指示，正如现场大家每个人都有个座位。

很高兴回到家乡。

我的朋友们，过去几周中我们收到了许多真诚的祝福，我和米歇尔深受感动。

今晚，轮到我来对你们说声感谢。

不论我们站在相同的政治立场上还是从未达成共识，不论我们是在房间还是学校、农场还是工厂车间、餐桌还是野外，我们之间的对话都让我更加诚实、更加奋进，也帮助我深受启发。

每天，我都在向你们学习。

你们帮助我成为一个更称职的总统，也帮助我成为一个更好的人。

我是在二十多岁的时候第一次来芝加哥，当时我仍然处于懵懵懂懂的阶段，仍然在寻求生活的意义。

我开始与一些教会团体在已经关门的钢铁生产厂附近工作，当时那些小区离今天的会场不远。

在那些街道中，我见证了信仰的力量，也在工人斗争中见证了工人阶级无声的尊严。

这个时候，我明白了只有当普通人民团结起来、参与进来并致力于争取权力，社会变革才能发生。

在担任八年的美国总统后，我仍然相信这一条结论。

这不仅仅是我个人的想法，也是根植在美国人心中的核心价值观，即寻求自主管理的大胆实验。

我们每个人相信，我们生来平等，享有造物主赋予我们的一些不可剥夺的权利，包括生命、自由和追求幸福的权利。

尽管这些权利看上去是显而易见，但是这些权利却从来不会自动实现。

正是美国人民通过民主政治的渠道，坚持追求这些权利，我们才能够成为一个更加完美的联合体。

这是我们的先驱赋予我们的礼物，让我们有自由通过自己的辛勤劳动、梦想和努力来追求每个人不同的梦想。

当然，每个美国人也应当同心协力，才能实现更加伟大的创举。

在过去240年中，美国精神一直鼓励每个美国公民积极行使公民权利，这给每一代美国人赋予了努力的方向。
