奥巴马开学演讲(中英文)

美国总统奥巴马9月8日开学演讲Wakefield High SchoolArlington, VirginiaTHE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there whoare feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks andshe'd say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turningaround schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paper that's assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just dropinto a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobsand boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that -- if you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it. I know what it's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'mnot proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was -- I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, thecircumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school. Neither of her parents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on herway to becoming Dr. Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind. He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like you do. In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you. But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when youdon't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. J.K. Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book wasrejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got topractice. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give upon yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn. But you've got to do your part, too. So I expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don't let yourself down. Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you. (Applause.)END弗吉尼亚州，阿林顿市，2009年9月8日嗨，大家好！你们今天过得怎么样？我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里，我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。

奥巴马开学演讲稿中英文尊敬的各位老师、亲爱的同学们：大家好！今天，我非常荣幸能够在这里与你们交流。

我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，新的学期意味着新的开始，新的挑战，以及新的机遇。

首先，我想谈谈教育的重要性。

教育，不仅仅是在教室里获取知识，它更是一种能够改变你们人生的力量。

它是打开未来之门的钥匙，让你们能够追逐自己的梦想，实现自己的价值。

在我们生活的这个世界里，知识就是力量。

那些拥有丰富知识和技能的人，往往能够在生活中取得更大的成功。

他们能够解决复杂的问题，创造新的事物，为社会的进步做出贡献。

而这一切，都始于教育。

你们每个人都有自己独特的天赋和潜力。

也许有些人擅长数学，有些人擅长艺术，有些人擅长体育。

但无论你们的天赋在哪里，教育都能够帮助你们将其发挥到极致。

它能够培养你们的思维能力，让你们学会如何思考，如何分析问题，如何寻找解决方案。

我知道，学习并不总是轻松愉快的。

有时候，你们会遇到困难的课程，会有做不完的作业，会有考试的压力。

但是，我要告诉你们，这些挑战都是成长的一部分。

每一次克服困难，都是一次进步；每一次努力学习，都是在为未来打下坚实的基础。

在学校里，你们不仅要学习书本上的知识，还要学会如何与人相处，如何团队合作。

这些技能在未来的生活中同样重要。

因为，我们生活在一个相互关联的世界里，没有人能够独自成功。

我也知道，有些同学可能来自不太富裕的家庭，或者面临着各种各样的困难。

但是，不要让这些成为你们放弃学习的借口。

相反，要把它们当作动力，激励自己更加努力地去追求知识，去改变自己的命运。

在美国，我们相信每个人都应该有接受良好教育的机会。

无论你们的背景如何，无论你们来自哪里，只要你们愿意努力，就能够实现自己的梦想。

在这里，我想对老师们说一声谢谢。

你们是教育事业的中坚力量，是你们的辛勤付出，让孩子们能够茁壮成长。

你们的工作不仅仅是传授知识，更是点燃学生心中的火焰，激发他们对学习的热爱。

最后，我想对同学们说，你们是我们国家的未来，是我们的希望。

Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody going today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.)大家好！谢谢你们。

谢谢你们。

谢谢大家。

好，大家请就座。

奥巴马开学演讲稿英文Barack Obama's BacktoSchool SpeechGood morning!Hello, everyone! I'm honored to be here today to talk to all of you on this important occasion – the start of a new school yearLet me begin by asking you a question: What is the purpose of education? Some might say it's to get good grades, to go to a great college, or to land a highpaying job While those are all important goals, they are not the most important The true purpose of education is to help you discover who you are, to develop your potential, and to prepare you to make a difference in the worldYou see, in today's world, with all the technology and information at our fingertips, knowledge is more accessible than ever before But having access to knowledge is not the same as having the wisdom and skills to use it That's what school is for It's a place where you learn not only facts and figures but also how to think critically, how to solve problems, and how to work with othersI know that school can be tough sometimes There will be days when you feel like giving up, when the homework seems endless, or when you struggle to understand a concept But remember, every challenge is an opportunity to grow Every setback is a chance to learn and come back strongerAnd it's not just about what you do in the classroom It's also about what you do outside of it Get involved in extracurricular activities, join a club or a sports team, volunteer in your community These experiences will teach you valuable lessons about teamwork, leadership, and compassionI want to stress the importance of taking responsibility for your own education Your teachers are here to guide you, but ultimately, it's up to you to make the most of the opportunities you have Show up to class on time, pay attention, ask questions, and do your best on every assignmentLet me tell you a story There was a young girl named Emily She came from a poor family and faced many obstacles in her life But she was determined to get a good education She studied hard every day, even when she didn't have a quiet place to do her homework She sought help from her teachers when she needed it and never let setbacks stop her Eventually, she graduated at the top of her class and went on to a prestigious university Emily's story is a reminder that no matter where you come from or what challenges you face, you have the power to succeed through educationNow, I know that some of you might be worried about the future You might be thinking about the economy, or the competition for jobs But I want you to know that if you work hard and stay focused on your education, you will be prepared for whatever comes your way The world needs your talents, your creativity, and your passionSo, as you embark on this new school year, set high goals for yourself Believe in your ability to achieve them And don't be afraid to dream big Because if you do, there is no limit to what you can accomplishThank you, and have a great year!This speech by President Obama emphasizes the significance of education and encourages students to take ownership of their learning journey It highlights the importance of perseverance, responsibility, and the pursuit of knowledge not only for personal success but also for making a positive impact on the world The straightforward and inspiring language makes it accessible and relatable to students of all ages The use of personal stories and reallife examples helps to drive the message home and inspire students to strive for excellence in their educational endeavorsEducation is the key that unlocks countless doors of opportunity It equips us with the tools to think independently, to communicate effectively, and to adapt to an everchanging world Obama's words serve as a reminder that the effort we put into our studies today will shape our futures and enable us to contribute meaningfully to societyWhether it's in the sciences, the arts, or any other field, a solid education provides the foundation for success It allows us to explore our interests, discover our passions, and develop the skills needed to turn those passions into careersIn a world that is becoming increasingly complex and interconnected, the ability to learn and grow is more crucial than ever By emphasizing the value of education and inspiring students to take an active role in their learning, Obama's speech encourages a generation to reach for the stars and make the most of the educational opportunities available to themLet us all take these words to heart and approach this school year with determination, curiosity, and a commitment to making the most of oureducational journey Because the future belongs to those who are welleducated and willing to work hard to achieve their dreamsThe importance of education cannot be overstated It is the driving force behind progress, innovation, and social change Obama's speech serves as a powerful call to action for students to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with learning, knowing that it is through education that they can shape a better world for themselves and for othersAs we move forward in this new academic year, let us remember that every day is a chance to learn something new, to grow as individuals, and to make a difference Let us rise to the occasion, work hard, and strive to become the best versions of ourselves through the power of educationEducation is not just about filling our minds with information; it's about nurturing our souls, expanding our horizons, and giving us the confidence to face whatever lies ahead It is a lifelong journey that begins in the classroom but extends far beyondSo, dear students, let this speech be a source of motivation and inspiration Let it fuel your desire to learn, to grow, and to make your mark on the world The road ahead may not always be easy, but with dedication and a love for learning, you have the potential to achieve greatnessNow, go forth and make this school year one to remember!。

奥巴马开学演讲稿中英文奥巴马开学演讲稿（中英双语）Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, faculty members, and most importantly, dear students,女士们先生们，尊敬的来宾，教职员工以及最重要的，亲爱的学生们，It is an absolute honor for me to stand before you today as we gather to celebrate the commencement of another academic year. As we embark onthis new journey together, I want to share some words of wisdom that I hope will inspire and guide you in the pursuit of your dreams.今天能站在这里与大家一同庆祝新学年开始，对我而言是莫大的荣幸。

在我们共同开始这段新的旅程前，我希望分享一些智慧的话语，它们将激励并指导你们追逐梦想的过程。

Education is not merely about acquiring knowledge, but it is a transformative journey that enables you to shape your own destiny. It opens doors to opportunities, broadens your horizons, and empowers you to make a difference in the world. Each and every one of you has the ability to create positive change, and education is the key to unlocking that potential.教育不仅仅是获取知识，而是一段让你能够塑造自己命运的变革之旅。

奥巴马开学演讲稿（中英对照) ——我们为什么要上学？阿文弗吉尼亚州，阿林顿市，2009年9月8日大家好！你们今天过得怎么样？我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里，我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。

我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天，你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中，对你们来说，这是在新学校的第一天，因此，假如你们感到有些紧张，那也是很正常的。

我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。

不过，我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级，许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假，以及今天不用那么早起床。

我可以理解这份心情。

小时候，我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年，而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书，因此她决定自己给我上课——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。

显然，我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来，很多时候，我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。

每当我埋怨的时候，我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说：“小鬼，你以为教你我就很轻松？”所以，我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应，但今天我站在这里，是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。

我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育，以及在新的学年里，你们应当做些什么。

我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。

我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。

我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。

我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。

但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校，假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费。

——除非你每天准时去上学、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力，否则这一切都会失去意义。

美国总统奥巴马9月8日开学演讲中英文解释Thank you! Hello! (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you. Well, hello, Philadelphia! (Applause.) And hello, Masterman. It is wonderful to see all of you.
