andasamericans,wehavesomuchtobethankfulfor.就像其他美国人一样，我们有如此多要感恩的事情。

wegivethanksforthemenandwomenwhosetsailforthislandnearlyfourcenturi esago,riskingeverythingforthechanceatabetterlife-andthepeoplewhowereal readyhere,ournativeamericanbrothersandsisters,fortheirgenerosityduringth atfirstThanksgiving.我们感谢近四百年前驶往这片土地的人们，为了获得更好生活的机会而历尽艰辛，我们感谢已经生活在这片土地上的人民—我们的土著美国人同胞，因为第一次感恩节时间他们表现的慷慨大方。

奥巴马演讲中英文对照版Ladies and Gentlemen:女士们，先生们：Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that recognized the constitutional right toprivacy and dignity in a woman’s most personal decisions about her health, her family, and her future.今天是作出保障妇女在其个人健康，家庭以及未来的自由决定的宪法权利上所公认的Roe v. Wade法令37周年纪念日。

而且也更加温和、委婉地纪念; 在Roe法令37年期间，我们见证了一代年轻人在他们拥有控制自己生殖决策权的环境中长大。

事实上，今天的年轻人可能甚至连Roe以前的时代都不太记得。

但我们也不能忘记那些来之前我们的勇敢女性以及和他们一起奋战的勇敢男女，他们有勇气要求自己最私密的决定被视作一项基本的人权。

这也是我们今天聚集在此的原因--要重申这个基本真理，并再次致力于保护妇女在全世界的生殖权利以及机会，不管她们的收入或背景如何。

This moment should not be about politics, it should be about, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reminded us, “the decision whether and when to bear a child” being in the hands of women themselves.这一刻不应是关于政治，而是，正如法官鲁丝·巴德·金斯伯格曾提醒过的，“是否及何时有孩子”这项决定应在女性自己手中。

而且，虽然保护妇女权利和自主的斗争不会于今天就结束。

奥巴马感恩节演讲稿感恩的意义尊敬的各位美国人民：感恩节是美国最具传统特色和感情温馨的节日之一。

这个节日是我们亲朋好友团聚的时刻，也是我们回顾过去一年所经历的种种，感悟收获、体验人生的时刻。

作为一种具有深刻人文内涵的文化传统，感恩节所弘扬的也是一种非常重要的人生态度和价值观。

感恩，是我们要具备的一种视角和状态。

人们倾向于忽视已有的幸福，而更多地关注那些尚未拥有的事物。

这种心态，容易使我们把不该忧虑的事情看成是必须拥有的负担。

感恩节，让我们学会把目光转向生活中的幸福，看到身边那些看似微不足道的温暖，总结过去的历程，明确自己的追求，感悟人生的真谛，从而重新认识和理解自己、家人、朋友和社会，体现我们的成长、体验爱和感恩之情。

感恩的源泉感恩，是人类社会发展过程中孕育出的一种伦理道德，而感恩节，正是对这种人文精神的最好体现。

感恩的源泉，总是回到生命本身。

没有生命，就没有一切。

生命，是我们的本质和核心，是彼此的关系和结合，也是我们的永恒和神圣。

正因为生命的宝贵，我们才更值得去珍惜，去感恩，在分离和困苦中也保持着对生命的热爱和兴致。

感恩的源泉，也可以是对家人、亲友和他人的依恋与感激。

家人是我们最亲近的人，是一切安抚与依靠的地方，也是我们成长的营养剂和精神力量。

朋友是我们一生中最重要的伙伴，在彼此的陪伴与支持中，不断探求生命的意义与价值，并在前行中成为彼此的垂范和激励。

另外，我们还要去思考跨越文化和历史的普世友谊，要认识到文化之间的联系和相互影响。

我之所以心存感激，正是因为我们的社会和人类社会正是在这种人文关怀和相互帮扶中得以不断发展和进步。

全球疫情背景下的感恩节今年，尽管全球正遭受一些前所未有的疫情和其他许多深度危机，但在愈加激烈的竞争和变革中，我相信我们依然可以关注那些生命中的美好，体验充满希望的生活。

我们可以在保持距离和避免人群聚集的同时，通过各种方式与家人、朋友和他人联系和交流，并向那些在抗击疫情中奋斗的人们表达我们的支持和慰问。

March is Women’s History Month, a time not only to celebrate the progress that women have made, but also the women throughout our history who have made that progress possible.One inspiring American who comes to mind is Eleanor Roosevelt. In 1961, the former First Lady was unhappy about the lack of women in government, so she marched up to President Kennedy and handed him a three-page list of women who were qualified for top posts in his administration. This led the President to select Mrs. Roosevelt as the head of a new commission to look at the status of women in America, and the unfairness they routinely faced in their lives.Though she passed away before the commission could finish its work, the report they released spurred action across the country. It helped galvanize a movement led by women that would help make our society a more equal place.It’s been almost fifty years since the Roosevelt commission published its findings –and there have been few similar efforts by the government in the decades that followed. That’s why, last week, here at the White House, we released a new comprehensive report on the status of women in the spirit on the one that was released half a century ago.There was a lot of positive news about the strides we’ve made, even in recent years. For example, women have caught up with men in seeking higher education. In fact, women today are more likely than men to attend and graduate from college.Yet, there are also reminders of how much work remains to be done. Women are still more likely to live in poverty in this country. In education, there are areas like math and engineering where women are vastly outnumbered by their male counterparts. This is especially troubling, for we know that to compete with nations around the world, these are the fields in which we need to harness the talents of all our people. That’s how we’ll win the future.And, today, women still earn on average only about 75 cents for every dollar a man earns. That’s a huge discrepancy. And at a time when folks across this country are struggling to make ends meet –and many families are just trying to get by on one paycheck after a job loss –it’s a reminder that achieving equal pay for equal work isn’t just a women’s issue. It’s a family issue.In one of my first acts as President, I signed a law so that women who’ve been discriminated against in their salaries could have their day in court to make it right. But there are steps we should take to prevent that from happening in the first place. That’s why I was so disappointed when an important bill to give women more power to stop pay disparities –the Paycheck Fairness Act –was blocked by just two votes in the Senate. And that’s why I’m going to keep up the fight to pass the reforms in that bill.Achieving equality and opportunity for women isn’t just important to me as President. It’s something I care about deeply as the father of two daughters who wants to see his girls grow up in a world where there are no limits to what they can achieve.As I’ve traveled across the country, visiting schools and meeting young people, I’ve seen so many girls passionate about science and other subjects that were traditionally not as open to them. We even held a science fair at the White House, where I met a young woman named Amy Chyao. She was only 16 years old, but she was actually working on a treatment for cancer. She never thought, “Science isn’t for me.”She never thought, “Girls can’t do that.”She was just interested in solving a problem. And because someone was interested in giving her a chance, she has the potential to improve lives.That tells me how far we’ve come. But it also tells me we have to work even harder to close the gaps that still exist, and to uphold that simple American ideal: we are all equal and deserving of the chance to pursue our own version of happiness. That’s what Eleanor Roosevelt was striving toward half a century ago. That’s why this report matters today. And that’s why, on behalf of all our daughters and our sons, we’ve got to keep making progress in the years ahead.。
