关于奥巴马著名的演讲

关于奥巴马著名的演讲

关于奥巴马著名的演讲记得曾有人说过这样一句话:“黑人当总统,比彗星撞地球的可能性还小。

”也许这是一句玩笑话,但世人都是这样看待这个问题的。

然而就在2008年11月5日,这个看法被彻底的打破。

这一天,属于奥巴马,属于美国,属于全人类。

就在那天,奥巴马以绝对优势赢得美国大选,成为了第44届美国总统。

以下小编整理准备了关于奥巴马著名的演讲。

第一篇 The Audacity of Hope有希望则无所畏惧这是奥巴马在美国民主党全国代表大会上的主题演讲,是令奥巴马从美国一个小州(伊利诺伊州)走向白宫的一次具有里程碑意义的重要演讲。

本次演讲对于时年43岁的奥巴马来说也是一次重大考验,是一个向全党、全国及全世界推销自己的绝好机会,成功则能威名远扬,失败则可能会黯然退出民主党的政治中心。

事实证明奥巴马没有辜负民主党元老们的重托,演讲取得了巨大成功,为其在党内的地位奠定了坚实的基础,也为其以后的大选奠定了基础。

第二篇 Change Is Coming to America变革正向美国走来这是奥巴马在艾奥瓦州初选获胜的演讲。

奥巴马进行此番演讲时,两党的选情都呈胶着状态,民主党方面尤其如此。

前第一夫人希拉里·克林顿与参议员巴拉克·奥巴马短兵相接,在不同的民意调查中分别领先。

奥巴马在艾奥瓦州的胜出对于年轻气盛但经验远远不够丰富的他来说不亚于久旱后的甘雨,来得恰是时候。

开局的胜利让奥巴马踌躇满志,信心倍增,因此他1月3日的胜选演讲可谓如行云流水,一气呵成,气势如虹,气吞山河,而在场的上千名观众听得也是如醉如痴,欢声雷动。

第三篇 A More Perfect Union更加完善的联邦这是奥巴马在宾夕法尼亚州费城发表的演讲,也是他在参选以后第一次就种族问题发表公开演讲。

2008年初的初选过程中,奥巴马皈依的芝加哥圣三位一体联合__教会牧师赖特以前在布道时发表的一些仇恨白人和反美的激情演讲片段被媒体公布,全国顿时一片哗然,奥巴马顿时陷入严重的信任危机。

(完整word版)奥巴马传奇演讲AMorePerfectUnion一个更完美的城邦中英对译

A More Perfect UnionRemarks of Senator Barack ObamaPhiladelphia, PA | March 18, 2008为了更完美的联邦巴拉克·奥巴马2008年3月18日在美国宾夕法尼亚州费城的演讲海星译"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union."“我们[美利坚合众国的]人民,为缔造一个更完美的联邦。

”Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.221年前,一群人聚集在至今仍屹立在这条街上的市政厅里,用上述这样简洁的言语,发起了美利坚不可思议的民主实验。

农场主和学者,政治家与爱国者们为逃脱政治专制和宗教迫害,横渡大洋,最终在费城会议上发表了他们的独立宣言。

——这一会议一直延续了1787年的春天。

The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation's original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations.他们讨论出的文件得以签署通过但尚未最终完成。

米歇尔奥巴马演讲稿

米歇尔奥巴马演讲稿尊敬的各位领导、各位嘉宾,亲爱的同学们:大家好!今天,我很荣幸能够站在这里,和大家分享我对教育和女性权益的一些看法。

作为前第一夫人,我有幸见证了许多不同背景的女性在教育领域取得的成就,也深知教育对于一个国家和一个社会的重要性。

在这个世界上,有太多的女性因为种种原因而无法接受教育,这不仅是对她们个人的剥夺,也是对整个社会的损失。

因此,我们需要共同努力,为每一个女性提供平等的接受教育的机会。

教育不仅仅是传授知识,更是培养人的品格和思维能力。

在我看来,教育应该是包容的,应该为每一个学生提供一个展示自己的舞台。

无论是男孩还是女孩,无论是富裕家庭的孩子还是贫困家庭的孩子,他们都应该有平等的机会接受优质的教育。

我们应该努力消除性别歧视,让每一个女孩都能够有机会去追求自己的梦想,去证明自己的价值。

在过去的几年里,我有幸见证了许多女性在不同领域取得的成就。

她们不仅在科技、商业、政治等领域表现出色,也在教育领域做出了重要贡献。

她们不仅仅是为了自己的利益,更是为了整个社会的发展和进步。

她们的成功不仅仅是她们个人的胜利,更是对整个社会的鼓舞和激励。

因此,我们应该为她们搭建更多的平台,为她们提供更多的支持和鼓励。

在教育领域,我们需要更多的女性发声,更多的女性参与决策。

因为只有她们才能更好地理解女性的需求和困境,才能更好地为女性争取权益。

我相信,只要我们共同努力,只要我们齐心协力,就一定能够创造一个更加公平和包容的社会,让每一个女性都能够享有平等的权利和机会。

最后,我希望每一个女性都能够相信自己的力量,勇敢地追求自己的梦想。

无论遇到什么样的困难和挑战,都要坚定地向前走,相信自己一定能够战胜一切。

同时,我也希望每一个男性都能够尊重和支持女性,让我们共同努力,创造一个更加美好的未来。

谢谢大家!。

奥巴马成功上任的演讲

奥巴马成功上任的演讲

奥巴马成功上任的演讲奥巴马议员有着美国议会中最为慷慨的投票记录。

以下是店铺为大家整理的关于奥巴马成功上任的演讲,欢迎阅读!奥巴马成功上任的演讲1:奥巴马第的就职演讲稿(译文)各位同胞:今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。

我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务,也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。

四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言,这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表,或是在乌云密布,时局动荡之时。

在艰困的时候,美国能箕裘相继,不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景,也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心,也忠于创建我国的法统。

因此,美国才能承继下来。

因此,这一代美国人必须承继下去。

现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心,我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。

我们的经济元气大伤,是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果,也是大众未能做出艰难的选择,为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。

许多人失去房子,丢了工作,生意垮了。

我们的医疗照护太昂贵,学校教育辜负了许多人。

每天都有更多证据显示,我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌,威胁我们的星球。

这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。

比较无法测量但同样深沉的,是举国信心尽失─持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。

今天我要告诉各位,我们面临的挑战是真的,挑战非常严重,且不在少数。

它们不是可以轻易,或在短时间内解决。

但是,美国要了解,这些挑战会被解决。

在这一天,我们聚在一起,因为我们选择希望而非恐惧,有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。

在这一天,我们来此宣示,那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结,那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。

我们仍是个年轻的国家,但借用圣经的话,摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了,重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了,选择我们更好的历史,实践那种代代传承的珍贵权利,那种高贵的理念:就是上帝的应许,我们每个人都是平等的,每个人都是自由的,每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。

奥巴马80后励志演讲稿:男人的责任

奥巴马80后励志演讲稿:男人的责任“你的未来,并不取决于你现在的生活有多好或多坏。

没有人为你编排好你的命运,在美国,你的命运由你自己书写,你的未来由你自己掌握。

”这是奥巴马的演讲中的其中一句。

下面跟着小编一起来看看奥巴马励志演讲稿:男人的责任。

【奥巴马80后励志演讲稿:男人的责任】U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hello, Morehouse! (Applause.) Thank you, everybody. Please be seated.AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you!U.S. PRESIDENT OBAMA: I love you back. (Laughter.) That is why I am here.I have to say that it is one of the great honors of my life to be able to address this gathering here today. I want to thank Dr. Wilson for his outstanding leadership, and the Board of Trustees. We have Congressman Cedric Richmond and Sanford Bishop — both proud alumni of this school, as well as Congressman Hank Johnson. And one of my dear friends and a great inspiration to us all — the great John Lewis is here. (Applause.) We have your outstanding Mayor, Mr. Kasim Reed, in the house. (Applause.)To all the members of the Morehouse family. And most of all, congratulations to this distinguished group of Morehouse Men —the Class of xx. (Applause.)I have to say that it’s a little hard to follow —not Dr. Wilson, but a skinny guy with a funny name. (Laughter.) Betsegaw Tadele —he’s going to be doing something.I also have to say that you all are going to get wet. (Laughter.) And I’d be out there with you if I could. (Laughter.) But Secret Service gets nervous. (Laughter.) So I’m going to have to stay here, dry. (Laughter.) But know that I’m there with you in spirit. (Laughter.)Some of you are graduating summa cum laude. (Applause.) Some of you are graduating magna cum laude. (Applause.) I know some of you are just graduating, “thank you, Lordy.” (Laughter and applause.) That’s appropriate because it’s a Sunday. (Laughter.)I see some moms and grandmas here, aunts, in their Sunday best —although they are upset about their hair getting messed up. (Laughter.) Michelle would not be sitting in the rain. (Laughter.) She has taught me about hair. (Laughter.)I want to congratulate all of you —the parents, the grandparents, the brothers and sisters, the family and friends who supported these young men in so many ways. This is your day, as well. Just think about it —your sons, your brothers, your nephews —they spent the last four years far from home and close to Spelman, and yet they are still here today. (Applause.) So you’ve done something right. Graduates, give a big round of applause to your family for everything that they’ve done foryou. (Applause.)I know that some of you had to wait in long lines to get into today’s ceremony. And I would apologize, but it did not have anything to do with security. Those graduates just wanted you to know what it’s like to register for classes here. (Laughter and applause.) And this time of year brings a different kind of stress — every senior stopping by Gloster Hall over the past week making sure your name was actually on the list of students who met all the graduation requirements. (Applause.) If it wasn’t on the list, you had to figure out why. Was it that library book you lent to tha t trifling roommate who didn’t return it? (Laughter.) Was it Dr. Johnson’s policy class? (Applause.) Did you get enough Crown Forum credits? (Applause.)On that last point, I’m going to exercise my power as President to declare this speech sufficient Crown Forum credits for any otherwise eligible student to graduate. That is my graduation gift to you. (Applause.) You have a special dispensation.Now, graduates, I am humbled to stand here with all of you as an honorary Morehouse Man. (Applause.) I finally made it. (Laughter.) And as I do, I’m mindful of an old saying: “You can always tell a Morehouse Man — (applause) —but you can’t tell him much.” (Applause.) And that makes my task a little more difficult, I suppose. But I think it also reflects the sens e of pride that’s always been part of this school’s tradition.Benjamin Mays, who served as the president of Morehouse for almost 30 years, understood that tradition better than anybody. He said —and I quote —“It will not be sufficient for Morehouse College, for any college, for that matter, to produce clever graduates —but rather honest men, men who can be trusted in public and private life — men who are sensitive to the wrongs, the sufferings, and the injustices of society and who are willing to accept responsibility for correcting (those) ills.”It was that mission —not just to educate men, but to cultivate good men, strong men, upright men —that brought community leaders together just two years after the end of the Civil War. They assembled a list of 37 men, free blacks and freed slaves, who would make up the first prospective class of what later became Morehouse College. Most of those first students had a desire to become teachers and preachers — to better themselves so they could help others do the same.A century and a half later, times have changed. But the “Morehouse Mystique”still endures. Some of you probably came here from communities where everybody looked like you. Others may have come here in search of a community. And I suspect that some of you probably felt a little bit of culture shock the first time you came together as a class in King’s Chapel. All of a sudden, you weren’t the only highschool sports captain, you weren’t the only student council president. You were suddenly in a group of high achievers, and that meant you were expected to do something more.That’s the unique sense of purpose that this place has always infused —the conviction that this is a training ground not only for individual success, but for leadership that can change the world.Dr. King was just 15 years old when he enrolled here at Morehouse. He was an unknown, undersized, unassuming young freshman who lived at home with his parents. And I think it’s fair to say he wasn’t the coolest kid on campus — for the suits he wore, his classmates called him “Tweed.” But his education at Morehouse helped to forge the intellect, the discipline, the compassion, the soul force that would transform America. It was here that he was introduced to the writings of Gandhi and Thoreau, and the theory of civil disobedience. It was here that professors encouraged him to look past the world as it was and fight for the world as it should be. And it was here, at Morehouse, as Dr. King later wrote, where “I realized that nobody — wa s afraid.”Not even of some bad weather. I added on that part. (Laughter.) I know it’s wet out there. But Dr. Wilson told me you all had a choice and decided to do it out here anyway. (Applause.) That’s a Morehouse Man talking.Now, think about it. For black men in the ’40s and the ’50s, thethreat of violence, the constant humiliations, large and small, the uncertainty that you could support a family, the gnawing doubts born of the Jim Crow culture that told you every day that somehow you were inferior, the temptation to shrink from the world, to accept your place, to avoid risks, to be afraid — that temptation was necessarily strong.And yet, here, under the tutelage of men like Dr. Mays, young Martin learned to be unafraid. And he, in turn, taught others to be unafraid. And over time, he taught a nation to be unafraid. And over the last 50 years, thanks to the moral force of Dr. King and a Moses generation that overcame their fear and their cynicism and their despair, barriers have come tumbling down, and new doors of opportunity have swung open, and laws and hearts and minds have been changed to the point where someone who looks just like you can somehow come to serve as President of these United States of America. (Applause.) So the history we share should give you hope. The future we share should give you hope. You’re graduating into an improving job market. You’re living in a time when advances in technology and communication put the world at your fingertips. Your generation is uniquely poised for success unlike any generation of African Americans that came before it.But that doesn’t mean we don’t have work —because if we’re honest with ourselves, we know that too few of our brothers have the opportunities that you’ve had here at Morehouse.In troubled neighborhoods all across this country —many of them heavily African American —too few of our citizens have role models to guide them. Communities just a couple miles from my house in Chicago, communities just a couple miles from here —they’r e places where jobs are still too scarce and wages are still too low; where schools are underfunded and violence is pervasive; where too many of our men spend their youth not behind a desk in a classroom, but hanging out on the streets or brooding behind a jail cell.My job, as President, is to advocate for policies that generate more opportunity for everybody —policies that strengthen the middle class and give more people the chance to climb their way into the middle class. Policies that create more good jobs and reduce poverty, and educate more children, and give more families the security of health care, and protect more of our children from the horrors of gun violence. That’s my job. Those are matters of public policy, and it is important for all of us —black, white and brown — to advocate for an America where everybody has got a fair shot in life. Not just some. Not just a few. (Applause.) But along with collective responsibilities, we have individual responsibilities. There are some things, as black men, we can only do for ourselves. There are some things, as Morehouse Men, that you are obliged to do for those still left behind. As Morehouse Men, you now wield something even more powerful than the diploma you’re about tocollect —and that’s the po wer of your example.So what I ask of you today is the same thing I ask of every graduating class I address: Use that power for something larger than yourself. Live up to President Mays’s challenge. Be “sensitive to the wrongs, the sufferings, and the in justices of society.” And be “willing to accept responsibility for correcting (those) ills.”I know that some of you came to Morehouse from communities where life was about keeping your head down and looking out for yourself. Maybe you feel like you escaped, and now you can take your degree and get that fancy job and the nice house and the nice car — and never look back. And don’t get me wrong — with all those student loans you’ve had to take out, I know you’ve got to earn some money. With doors open to you that your parents and grandparents could not even imagine, no one expects you to take a vow of poverty. But I will say it betrays a poverty of ambition if all you think about is what goods you can buy instead of what good you can do. (Applause.)So, yes, go get that law degree. But if you do, ask yourself if the only option is to defend the rich and the powerful, or if you can also find some time to defend the powerless. Sure, go get your MBA, or start that business. We need black businesses out there. But ask yourselves what broader purpose your business might serve, in putting people to work, or transforming a neighborhood. The most successful CEOs I know didn’tstart out intent just on making money — rather, they had a vision of how their product or service would change things, and the money followed. (Applause.)Some of you may be headed to medical school to become doctors. But make sure you heal folks in underserved communities who really need it, too. For generations, certain groups in this country — especially African Americans — have been desperate in need of access to quality, affordable health care. And as a society, we’re finally beginning to change that. Those of you who are under the age of 26 already have the option to stay on your parent’s health care plan. But all of you are heading into an economy where many young people expect not only to have multiple jobs, but multiple careers.So starting October 1st, because of the Affordable Care Act —otherwise known as Obamacare — (applause) —you’ll be able to shop for a quality, affordable plan that’s yours and travels with you — a plan that will insure not only your health, but your dreams if you are sick or get in an accident. But we’re going to need some doctors to make sure it works, too. We’ve got to make sure everybody has good health in this country. It’s not just good for you, it’s good for this country. So you’re going to have to spread the word to your fellow young people.Which brings me to a second point: Just as Morehouse has taught you to expect more of yourselves, inspire those who look up to you toexpect more of themselves. We know that too many young men in our community continue to make bad choices. And I have to say, growing up, I made quite a few myself. Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. I had a tendency sometimes to make excuses for me not doing the right thing. But one of the things that all of you have learned over the last four years is there’s no longer any room for excuses. (Applause.)I understand there’s a common fraternity creed here at Morehouse: “Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of n othingness.” Well, we’ve got no time for excuses. Not because the bitter legacy of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they have not. Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; we know those are still out there. It’s just that in today’s hyperconnected, hypercompetitive world, with millions of young people from China and India and Brazil — many of whom started with a whole lot less than all of you did — all of them entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything that you have not earned. (Applause.)Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination. And moreover, you have to remember that whatever you’ve gone through, it pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured — and they overcame them. And if theyovercame them, you can overcome them, too. (Applause.)You now hail from a lineage and legacy of immeasurably strong men —men who bore tremendous burdens and still laid the stones for the path on which we now walk. You wear the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes, and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall, and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. These men were many things to many people. And they knew full well the role that racism played in their lives. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses.Every one of you have a grandma or an uncle or a parent who’s told you that at some point in life, as an African American, you have to work twice as hard as anyone else if you want to get by. I think President Mays put it even better: He said, “Whatever you do, strive to do it so well that no man living and no man dead, and no man yet to be born can do it any better.” (Applause.)And I promise you, what was needed in Dr. Mays’s time, that spirit of excellence, and hard work, and dedication, and no excuses is needed now more than ever. If you think you can just get over in this economy just because you have a Moreho use degree, you’re in for a rude awakening. But if you stay hungry, if you keep hustling, if you keep on your grind and get other folks to do the same — nobody can stop you.(Applause.)And when I talk about pursuing excellence and setting an example, I’m not just talking about in your professional life. One of today’s graduates, Frederick Anderson —where’s Frederick? Frederick, right here. (Applause.) I know it’s raining, but I’m going to tell about Frederick. Frederick started his college career in Ohio, only to find out that his high school sweetheart back in Georgia was pregnant. So he came back and enrolled in Morehouse to be closer to her. Pretty soon, helping raise a newborn and working night shifts became too much, so he started taking business classes at a technical college instead — doing everything from delivering newspapers to buffing hospital floors to support his family.And then he enrolled at Morehouse a second time. But even with a job, he couldn’t keep up with the cost of tuition. So af ter getting his degree from that technical school, this father of three decided to come back to Morehouse for a third time. (Applause.) As Frederick says, “God has a plan for my life, and He’s not done with me yet.”And today, Frederick is a family man, and a working man, and a Morehouse Man. (Applause.) And that’s what I’m asking all of you to do: Keep setting an example for what it means to be a man. (Applause.) Be the best husband t o your wife, or you’re your boyfriend, or your partner. Be the best father you can be to your children. Because nothing is more important.I was raised by a heroic single mom, wonderful grandparents —made incredible sacrifices for me. And I know there are moms and grandparents here today who did the same thing for all of you. But I sure wish I had had a father who was not only present, but involved.Didn’t know my dad. And so my whole life, I’ve tried to be for Michelle and my girls what my father was not for my mother and me. I want to break that cycle where a father is not at home — (applause) —where a father is not helping to raise that son or daughter. I want to be a better father, a better husband, a better man.It’s hard work that demands your constant attention and frequent sacrifice. And I promise you, Michelle will tell you I’m not perfect. She’s got a long list of my imperfections. (Laughter.) Even now, I’m still practicing, I’m still learning, still getting corrected in terms of how to be a fine husband and a good father. But I will tell you this: Everything else is unfulfilled if we fail at family, if we fail at that responsibility. (Applause.)I know that when I am on my deathbed someday, I will not be thinking about any particular legislation I passed; I will not be thinking about a policy I promoted; I will not be thinking about the speech I gave, I will not be thinking the Nobel Prize I received. I will be thinking about that walk I took with my daughters. I’ll be thinking about a lazy afternoon with my wife. I’ll be thinking about sitting around the dinn er table and seeing them happy and healthy and knowing that they were loved. AndI’ll be thinking about whether I did right by all of them.So be a good role model, set a good example for that young brother coming up. If you know somebody who’s not on po int, go back and bring that brother along —those who’ve been left behind, who haven’t had the same opportunities we have —they need to hear from you. You’ve got to be engaged on the barbershops, on the basketball court, at church, spend time and energy and presence to give people opportunities and a chance. Pull them up, expose them, support their dreams. Don’t put them down.We’ve got to teach them just like what we have to learn, what it means to be a man — to serve your city like Maynard Jackson; to shape the culture like Spike Lee; to be like Chester Davenport, one of the first people to integrate the University of Georgia Law School. When he got there, nobody would sit next to him in class. But Chester didn’t mind. Later on, he said, “It was the thi ng for me to do. Someone needed to be the first.” And today, Chester is here celebrating his 50th reunion. Where is Chester Davenport? He’s here. (Applause.)So if you’ve had role models, fathers, brothers like that — thank them today. And if you haven’t, commit yourself to being that man to somebody else.And finally, as you do these things, do them not just for yourself, but don’t even do them just for the African American community. I want youto set your sights higher. At the turn of the last century, W.E.B. DuBois spoke about the “talented tenth” — a class of highly educated, socially conscious leaders in the black community. But it’s not just the African American community that needs you. The country needs you. The world needs you.As Morehouse Men, many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider; know what it’s like to be marginalized; know what it’s like to feel the sting of discrimination. And that’s an experience that a lot of Americans share. Hispanic Americans know that feeling when somebody asks them where they come from or tell them to go back. Gay and lesbian Americans feel it when a stranger passes judgment on their parenting skills or the love that they share. Muslim Americans feel it when they’re stared at with suspicion because of th eir faith. Any woman who knows the injustice of earning less pay for doing the same work —she knows what it’s like to be on the outside looking in.So your experience s give you special insight that today’s leaders need. If you tap into that experience, it should endow you with empathy —the understanding of what it’s like to walk in somebody else’s shoes, to see through their eyes, to know what it’s like when you’re not born on 3rd base, thinking you hit a triple. It should give you the ability to connect. It should give you a sense of compassion and what it means to overcome barriers.And I will tell you, Class of xx, whatever success I have achieved, whatever positions of leadership I have held have depended less on Ivy League degrees or SAT scores or GPAs, and have instead been due to that sense of connection and empathy —the special obligation I felt, as a black man like you, to help those who need it most, people who didn’t have the opportunities that I had — because there but for the grace of God, go I — I might have been in their shoes. I might have been in prison.I might have been unemployed. I might not have been able to support a family. And that motivates me. (Applause.)So it’s up to you to widen your circle of concern —to care about justice for everybody, white, black and brown. Everybody. Not just in your own community, but also across this country and around the world. To make sure everyone has a voice, and everybody gets a seat at the table; that everybody, no matter what you look like or where you come from, what your last name is —it doesn’t matter, everybody gets a chance to walk through those doors of opportunity if they are willing to work hard enough.When Leland Shelton was four years old —where’s Leland? (Applause.) Stand up, Leland. When Leland Shelton was four years old, social services took him away from his mama, put him in the care of his grandparents. By age 14, he was in the foster care system. Three years after that, Leland enrolled in Morehouse. And today he is graduating PhiBeta Kappa on his way to Harvard Law School. (Applause.) But he’s not stopping there. As a member of the National Foster Care Youth and Alumni Policy Council, he plans to use his law degree to make sure kids like him don’t fall through the cracks. And it won’t matter whether they’re black kids or brown kids or white kids or Native American kids, because he’ll understand what they’re going through. And he’ll be fighting for them. He’ll be in their corner. That’s leadership. That’s a Morehouse Man right there. (Applause.)That’s what we’ve come to expect from you, Morehouse —a legacy of leaders —not just in our black community, but for the entire American community. To recognize the burdens you carry with you, but to resist the temptation to use them as excuses. To transform the way we think about manhood, and set higher standards for ourselves and for others. To be successful, but also to understand that each of us has responsibilities not just to ourselves, but to one another and to future generations. Men who refuse to be afraid. Men who refuse to be afraid.Members of the Class of xx, you are heirs to a great legacy. You have within you that same courage and that same strength, the same resolve as the men who came before you. That’s what bein g a Morehouse Man is all about. That’s what being an American is all about.Success may not come quickly or easily. But if you strive to do what’s right, if you work harder and dream bigger, if you set an example inyour own lives and do your part to help meet the challenges of our time, then I’m confident that, together, we will continue the never-ending task of perfecting our union.Congratulations, Class of xx. God bless you. God bless Morehouse. And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)内容仅供参考。

是因为存在希望,奴隶们围坐在火堆边,才会吟唱自由之歌;是因为存在希望,才能使得人们愿意远涉重洋,移民他乡;是因为希望,年轻的海军上尉,才会在湄公河三角洲勇敢地巡逻放哨;是因为希望,出身工人家庭的孩子,才会敢于挑战自己的命运;是因为希望,我这个名字怪怪的瘦小子才相信美国这片热土上也有自己的容身之地!

奥巴马就职演讲:重铸美国梦的演讲

奥巴马就职演讲:重铸美国梦的演讲

奥巴马就职演讲:重铸美国梦的演讲重铸美国梦的演讲尊敬的各位听众,Dear fellow citizens,今天,我站在这里,作为美国历史上第44任总统,我向全体美国人民和全世界宣誓就职。

此时此刻,我深深地感受到责任的重大以及挑战的巨大。

但是,我也非常自豪地承诺,尽我最大的努力,满怀着信仰和决心,迎接美国未来的种种挑战和机遇。

作为这个伟大的国家的领袖,今天我来到这里,向全世界发出一个强有力的信号:重铸美国梦的时刻到了。

在过去的数年中,我们面临着巨大的挑战和困难。

金融危机重创了美国的经济,导致了数百万人的失业,遭受了许多人的损失。

同时,不断出现的恐怖活动和军事冲突,也让美国和全球陷入了痛苦之中。

但是,这些困难并不是我们美国人民所不能克服的。

我们美国历史上曾经面临过多次重大危机,但是我们总是能够在困境中挺起我们的胸膛,呈现出钢铁般的决心和坚定的信仰。

今天,正是我们重新点燃美国梦之火的时刻。

美国梦是什么?它不仅仅是寻求财富和成功的梦想。

它是一个全民族的梦想,是自由、机会和公正的梦想。

它是我们对未来的美好构想,是我们对美国精神的信仰。

正如我们的先辈所做的那样,我们必须继续前进,并把美国梦传给我们的后代。

我相信,只要我们紧密团结、团结奋进,携手前进,我们就能够取得成功,把美国梦变成现实。

在过去的8年中,我们曾经取得了许多的成绩。

我们取得了巨大的科技进步,在医疗和环境保护领域取得了显著的进展。

我们还迎来了历史上的第一位有色人种总统,在种族、性别、性取向和宗教信仰等方面实现了广泛的包容和平等。

但是,我们也意识到我们的失败和缺陷。

我们的社会并不是完美的,我们的国际地位也并非无可挑剔。

我们还需要努力改善卫生、教育、收入和社会公正等领域的现状。

因此,我呼吁每一个美国人民都要做出贡献,让我们一起推动美国迈向更加美好的未来。

这意味着,我们需要坚定不移地践行我们的价值观和信念,恢复我们在世界上的声誉,以及加强与国际社会的合作。

奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录

奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录

奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录1、不管你的目标是什么,我希望你们去做,去真正地付诸于行动。

2、成功是非常艰难的事。

你不可能喜欢所有的课程,你不可能和所有的老师合拍,不是所有的作业看起来都和你现在的生活息息相关,而且你不可能,也不必要在第一次尝试时,就获得成功。

3、也许你会是一个作家能写书和在报纸上发表文章但是如果你不完成英语课上布置给你的英语论文,你又怎么发现自己的才能?也许你会是一个发明家可以设计出下一代iphone或是新药甚至是疫苗但是如果你不完成自然课上的作业,你又怎能知道自己的潜能?也许你会成为市长,参议员或者最高法院大法官但是如果你不参加学生会或辩论队,你又怎么了解自己的长处?4、你现在的处境并不能决定你将来也是这样。

没人能决定你的命运,因为在美国,你要自己谱写自己的命运,你的将来由你自己创造。

5、父母的责任是确保你做你该做的事,完成你的作业,而不是把所有空闲时间都用来看电视或玩xbox.6、不管你将走上怎样的道路,我敢保证你都需要接受教育。

7、每个人都有擅长的事情,每个人都能贡献些什么。

所以你有责任发现自己的长处是什么,而学习就提供了这样一个发挥的机会。

8、你生活的环境,你的样子,你从哪里来,你有多少钱,你的家庭怎么样,这些都不能成为你不做功课和不好好上学的借口。

9、一些最成功的人同时也是失败次数最多的人。

10、你不能被失败打倒,你必须从失败中学习,如何在下一次做出改变。

因此如果你陷入困境,那并不意味着你是倒霉蛋,那只说明你要加倍努力来走向成功。

如果你成绩不好,那并不代表你很笨,只说明你需要花更多的时间在学习上。

11、没有人生来就是天才,只有熟能生巧。

你不会在接触一项新运动时就进校队,你也不会在第一次唱歌时一点不走音,因此你需要练习。

这个道理同样适用于学习。

你也许要做好几遍才能答对一道数学题,你也许要读好几遍才能读懂一篇文章,你一定要打好几遍草稿才能完成一篇可以上交的论文。

当地时间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,欢迎浏览!
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 ..........。

奥巴马演讲词无畏的希望

奥巴马演讲词无畏的希望

奥巴马演讲词无畏的希望以下是小编为大伙儿搜集整理的,欢迎借鉴与阅读!奥巴马演讲词无畏的希望我第一代表伟大的伊利诺依州,林肯的故乡,感激给我那个宝贵的机遇。

今天我感到专门荣幸,说实在话,我连做梦都没想到我会有机遇站到那个讲台上。

我父亲是个外国留学生,诞生和生长在肯尼亚的一个小山村里。

他从小给人放羊,在一个铁皮做屋顶的教室里上课。

他的父亲,也确实是我爷爷,是个厨师,一个英国人的佣人。

可是,我爷爷对我父亲抱有一个专门大的期望。

基于勤奋和坚忍不拔,父亲有幸取得了一份奖学金,能来到那个神奇的地址--美利坚学习。

这是一块已经给予前驱者自由与机遇的圣土。

来到那个地址上学时,我爸爸碰到我母亲,一个诞生活着界另一边的来自肯萨斯的女孩。

在整个大萧条期间,她父亲先是个农场工人而后当了个石油钻井工。

在珍珠港被轰炸后,他应征入伍,随巴顿军团开赴欧洲。

从欧洲回来后,他发觉我外祖母在一边拉扯自己年幼的女儿,一边在一个炸弹装配线上班当女工。

战后,他们进补习学校学习,并通过联邦贷款买了栋屋子,有了第一个自己的家。

再后来,他们西移,远远地去了夏威夷寻觅机遇。

他们心中对自己的女儿也怀抱着一个专门大的期望。

尽管来自相隔遥远的两个不同的大陆,但他们的期望是一起的。

我父母不单单分享一个原先不太可能发生的爱恋,而且更重要的是,他们共共享有对那个国家的信任。

他们给我取了个意思为"被赐福"的名字"巴拉克",因为他们坚信,在那个宽容大度的合众国,一个奇怪的名字决可不能成为他以后成功的障碍。

他们妄图着,有一天我能进入这块土地上最好的学校同意教育,即便他们并非富有。

他们深知,即便是贫困的小孩,也能在那个宽容的美利坚国土实现自己的理想,让自己的潜力尽情发挥。

他们此刻都已逝去,可是,若是他们有在天之灵,能看到我的今天,他们必然会为我感到自豪和自豪。

那个国家多民族的兼容和大度,是咱们的幸运。

此刻,和咱们的父母一样,我对自己的一对女儿也满怀一样的期待。

奥巴马的演讲(共五则范文)

奥巴马的演讲(共五则范文)第一篇:奥巴马的演讲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 atthis minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.事实上,取得成功不是轻而易举的事情。

你不会喜欢你学习的每一门课目。

你不会与你的每一位老师都很投契。

不是所有的家庭作业似乎都与你眼前的生活完全有关。

你第一次尝试做每件事的时候,不一定成功。

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 was rejected 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. Buthe once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. Andthat’s why I succeed.”这些都没关系。

奥巴马演讲全文∶无畏的希望

奥巴马演讲全文∶无畏的希望

The audacity of hopeKeynote Address at the 2004 Democratic National ConventionJuly 27, 2004 On behalf of the great state of Illinois, crossroads of a nation, land of Lincoln, let me express my deep gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention. Tonight is a particular honor for me because, let's face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant.But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place: America, which stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. While studying here, my father met my mother. She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor he signed up for duty, joined Patton's army and marched across Europe. Back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA, and moved west in search of opportunity.And they, too, had big dreams for their daughter, a common dream, born of two continents. My parents shared not only an improbable love; they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or "blessed," believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren't rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential. They are both passed away now. Yet, I know that, on this night, they look down on me with pride.I stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents' dreams live on in my precious daughters. I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible. Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago, "We hold these truths to he self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody's son. That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will he counted - or at least, most of the time.This year, in this election, we are called to reaffirm our values and commitments, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up, to the legacy of our forbearers, and the promise of future generations. And fellow Americans - Democrats, Republicans, Independents - I say to you tonight: we have more work to do. More to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that's moving to Mexico, and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour. More to do for the father I met who was losing his job and choking back tears, wondering how he would pay $4,500 a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits he counted on. More to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn't have the money to go to college.Don't get me wrong. The people I meet in small towns and big cities, in diners and office parks, they don't expect government to solve all their problems. They know they have to work hard to get ahead and they want to. Go into the collar counties around Chicago, and people will tell you they don't want their tax money wasted by a welfare agency or the Pentagon. Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach kids to learn. They know that parents have to parent, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book isacting white. No, people don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better. And they want that choice.In this election, we offer that choice. Our party has chosen a man to lead us who embodies the best this country has to offer. That man is John Kerry. John Kerry understands the ideals of community, faith, and sacrifice, because they've defined his life. From his heroic service in Vietnam to his years as prosecutor and lieutenant governor, through two decades in the United States Senate, he has devoted himself to this country. Again and again, we've seen him make tough choices when easier ones were available. His values and his record affirm what is best in us.John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded. So instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he'll offer them to companies creating jobs here at home. John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves. John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren't held hostage to the profits of oil companies or the sabotage of foreign oil fields. John Kerry believes in the constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties nor use faith as a wedge to divide us. And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world, war must be an option, but it should never he the first option.A while back, I met a young man named Shamus at the VFW Hall in East Moline, Illinois. He was a good-looking kid, six-two or six-three, clear-eyed, with an easy smile. He told me he'd joined the Marines and was heading to Iraq the following week. As I listened to him explain why he'd enlisted, his absolute faith in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service, I thought this young man was all any of us might hope for in a child. But then I asked myself: Are we serving Shamus as well as he was serving us? I thought of more than 900 service men and women, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, friends and neighbors, who will not be returning to their hometowns. I thought of families I had met who were struggling to get by without a loved one's full income, or whose loved ones had returned with a limb missing or with nerves shattered, but who still lacked long-term health benefits because they were reservists. When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world.Now let me be clear. We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated. John Kerry knows this. And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. John Kerry believes in America. And he knows it's not enough for just some of us to prosper. For alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga.A belief that we are connected as one people. If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief - I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper - that makes this country work. It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. "E pluribus unum." Out of many, one.Yet even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States. Thereare patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope? John Kerry calls on us to hope. John Edwards calls on us to hope. I'm not talking about blind optimism here - the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don't talk about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. No, I'm talking about something more substantial. It's the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker's son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too. The audacity of hope!In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation; the belief in things not seen; the belief that there are better days ahead. I believe we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity. I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair. I believe that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us. America!Tonight, if you feel the same energy I do, the same urgency I do, the same passion I do, the same hopefulness I do - if we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Maine, the people will rise up in November, and John Kerry will be sworn in as president, and John Edwards will be sworn in as vice president, and this country will reclaim its promise, and out of this long political darkness a brighter day will come. Thank you and God bless you.奥巴马演讲全文:无畏的希望原名:基调演讲摘自《巴拉克·奥巴马》。
