Remarks by the First Lady at Number Seven SchoolChengdu, ChinaMarch 25, 2014Ni hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thank you so much for your warm welcome.Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that our hearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As I said this past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all of them in our thoughts and our prayers at this tremendously difficult time.So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate, Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, and you should be very proud. Thank you so much. (Applause.) And I want to thank all of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of you joining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderful school.Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School. It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the students at this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11 and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they were bursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about what they had seen.But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions about China. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, but instead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure that they’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how to use chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote -- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.”Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away from each other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’s easy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eat different foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meet young people from so many countries, I’m always struck by how much more we have in common. And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China.You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, my brother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largest cities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t have much money, but our little home was bursting with love. Every evening, my family would laugh and share stories over dinner. We’d play card games and have fun for hours. And on summer nights, I remember, when our apartment got too hot, we’d all sleep outside on our back porch.Family meant everything to us, including our extended family. My grandparents lived nearby, and my elderly great aunt and uncle lived in the apartment downstairs from us. And when their health started to decline my parents stepped in, helping my uncle shave and dress each morning, dashing downstairs in the middle of the night to check on my aunt.So in my family, like in so many of your families, we took care of each other. And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams for me and my brother. They had only a high school education themselves, but they were determined to send us both to universities.So they poured all of their love and all of their hope into us, and they worked hard. They saved every penny. And I know that wasn’t easy for them, especially for my father. You see, my father had a serious illness called multiple sclerosis. And as he got sicker, it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to get dressed in the morning.But no matter how tired he felt, no matter how much pain he was in, my father hardly ever missed a day of work, because he was determined to give me and my brother a better life. And every day, like so many of you, I felt the weight of my parents’sacrifices on my shoulders. Every day, I wanted to make them proud.So while most American kids attend public schools near their homes, when it was time for me to attend high school, I took an exam and got into a special public high school where I could get a better education. But the school was very far from my home, so I had to get up early every morning and ride a bus for an hour, sometimes an hour and a half if the weather was bad. And every afternoon, I’d ride that same bus back home and then immediately start my homework, often studying late into the night -- and sometimes I would wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to study even more.And it wasn’t easy. But whenever I got tired or discouraged, I would just think about how hard my parents were working for me. And I would remember something my mother always told me –- she said: “A good education is something that no one can take away from you.”And when it was time for me to apply to university, I had many options, because inAmerica, there are many kinds of universities. There are four-year universities. There are two-year community colleges which are less expensive. There are universities where you take classes at night while working during the day. So you don’t have to be a top student to attend a university. And even if your parents don’t have much money or you live in a tiny town in a rural area, in America, you can still attend university. And you can get scholarships and government loans to help pay your tuition.So I attended Princeton University for my undergraduate degree, and I went on to Harvard University for my graduate degree in law. And with those degrees I was able to become a lawyer at a large law firm, and then I worked as an executive at a city hospital, and then I was the director of an organization that helped disadvantaged young people.And my story isn’t unusual in America. Some of our most famous athletes, like LeBron James, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, came from struggling families like mine, as do many business leaders –like Howard Schultz. He’s the head of a company called Starbucks, which many of you may have heard of. When Mr. Schultz was a boy his father lost his job, leaving their family destitute. But Mr. Schultz worked hard. He got a scholarship to a university, and eventually built the largest coffeehouse company in the world.And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised by a single mother who sometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy got scholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor, and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he became President of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, Barack Obama. (Applause.)These stories are the stories of so many Americans, and of America itself. Because in America, we believe that no matter where you live or how much money your parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are, if you work hard and believe in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed. We also believe that everyone is equal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship as we choose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agree with what we believe.Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy. And there have been times in our history where we have fallen short. Many decades ago, there were actually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me, who are a minority in the United States. But over time, ordinary citizens decided that those laws were unfair. So they held peaceful protests and marches. They called on government officials to change those laws, and they voted to elect new officials who shared their views.And slowly but surely, America changed. We got rid of those unjust laws. And today, just 50 years later, my husband and I are President and First Lady of the United States. And that is really the story of America –- how over the course of our short history, through so many trials and struggles, we have become more equal, more inclusive, and more free.And today in America, people of every race, religion and ethnicity live together and work together to build a better life for their children and grandchildren. And in the end, that deep yearning to leave something better for those who come after us, that is something we all truly share. In fact, there’s a Chinese saying that I love that says, “To achieve true happiness, help the next generation.”And like so many of your parents, my parents sacrificed so much so that I could have opportunities they never dreamed of. And today, as a mother myself, I want even more opportunities for my own daughters. But of course, as I always tell my daughters, with opportunities come obligations.And that is true for all of you as well. You all have the opportunity to receive an education from this wonderful school, and you all have an obligation to take the fullest advantage of this opportunity. And I know that’s exactly what you all are doing.You’re winning prizes in math and science. Here, you are staging musical performances around the world. You’re volunteering in your communities. And many of you are working hard to get an education your parents never dreamed of.So you all have so much to offer –- and that’s a good thing, because the world needs your talent. The world needs your creativity and energy more than ever before. Because we face big challenges that know no borders –- like improving the quality of our air and water, ensuring that people have good jobs, stopping the spread of disease. And soon, it will all fall to all of you to come together with people on every continent and solve these problems together.Now, fortunately, here at this wonderful school, you’re already well on your way. For more than a decade, you’ve been building special relationships with a American school in -- an American high school, and many of you will attend universities in America or find other ways to reach out beyond your borders.So in the years ahead, much like you and I are doing here today, you will be creating bonds of friendship across the globe that will last for decades to come. And over the past week, as I have seen both the ancient wonders and the modern achievements of your fascinating country, and as I’ve met with extraordinary young people like all of you, I am more confident than ever before in our shared future.And I cannot wait to see everything that you will achieve here in China and around the world.Thank you again for hosting me and my family at this extraordinary school, and I wish you all the best of luck in your journey ahead. Xie-Xie. (Applause.)米歇尔在成都七中演讲全文你好。

2024年奥巴马夫人米歇尔助选演讲稿

2024年奥巴马夫人米歇尔助选演讲稿

尊敬的各位领导、亲爱的同事们:大家好!首先,我要感谢所有出席今天活动的各位,感谢你们对我们的支持和关注。

在此,我要特别感谢我的丈夫奥巴马总统。

他是一个充满智慧、坚毅有力的领导,他一直以来都致力于改变人们的生活。

我们一直以来都坚定地相信,只有通过共同努力和热情投入,我们才能实现我们的梦想和目标。

今天,我想和大家分享一些发生在我们身边的故事。

这些故事,让我明白了有时候,一个人的力量可以改变整个世界。

同时,我也希望通过这些故事,激励大家行动起来,为我们的奋斗目标而努力。

故事一:小南希是一个来自底特律的女孩。

她的父母在她很小的时候就离异了,她和妈妈一起生活。

尽管工作很辛苦,妈妈仍然坚持供她上学。

小南希非常聪明,但是她的学校却一直面临着种种困境。

于是,她决定亲自去争取更好的教育。

她和一群志同道合的同学一起,在学校门口设立了图书角,每天放学后帮助其他孩子们学习。

他们还通过举办义卖活动购买了一些教育资源,帮助更多的孩子们。

这个小机构最终吸引了一些教育专家的注意,他们帮助学校改善了教育环境,为孩子们创造了更好的学习机会。

故事二:约翰是一位来自芝加哥的老师。

他教授社会科学,被学生们称为“最酷的老师”。

他一直以来都致力于鼓励学生们去探索和实践自己的梦想。

他组织了各种社区活动,帮助学生们更好地了解社会和世界。

他还为学生们提供了各种实习和实践机会,帮助他们将知识应用到实际问题中去。

通过约翰的引导,许多学生们获得了奖学金,进入了优秀的大学,实现了自己的梦想。

这些故事看起来可能只是一些平凡的小事,但是它们却展示了我们每个人都可以通过行动来改变世界的力量。

每个人都可以成为一个改变者,一个启发他人的榜样。

无论是在教育、医疗、环保还是任何其他领域,我们都可以发挥自己的特长和能力,为社会和人民做出贡献。

改变并不是一蹴而就的,它需要时间、耐心和坚持。

我们需要敢于追求自己的梦想,同时也要努力帮助他人实现他们的梦想。

我们要与他人携手前行,共同努力,互相支持,才能赋予自己的生活以意义。

成都七中探索全日制直播教学

成都七中探索全日制直播教学

成都七中探索全日制直播教学本刊记者 刘沁娟“这近乎是两条教育的平行线。

一条线是:成都七中去年30多人被伯克利等国外名校录取,70多人考进了清华北大,一本率超九成,号称‘中国最前列的高中’;另一条线是:中国贫困地区的248所高中,师生是周边大城市‘挑剩的’,曾有学校考上一本的学生仅个位数。

”2018年,媒体的一篇报道《这块屏幕可能会改变命运》刷屏。

文章说,通过网络直播课,贫困地区学生和成都七中学生同步上课,不四川甘孜藏族自治州康定中学高二年级学生通过远程网络聆听成都七中老师讲课。

图/陈海宁 摄少贫困生考上了大学甚至考上清华北大。

这一报道刊发后,有人赞许、感动,也有人提出质疑。

教育部部长陈宝生对此直言,“成都七中开设网络直播课是教育部多年来抓的一个点”,全国超过90%的学校都已经进了宽带,超过60%的学校已经有了多媒体教室,远程教育对边远地区的孩子享受到优质教育资源有很大的作用。

2020年3月,为推进“互联网+教育”发展,教育部出台关于加强“三个课堂”应用的指导意见,进一步加强“专递课堂”“名师课堂”和“名校网络课堂”。

成都七中是如何关注信息化教育并付诸实践的?是否做到了对边远民族地区学校的“倾囊相助”?数字教育的“理想模式”又是什么样的?对此,成都七中党委书记、校长易国栋接受了本刊记者专访。

信息化为边远地区带去优质教育资源《网络传播》杂志:是什么契机让成都七中开始关注信息化教育并付诸实践,特别是为边远民族地区学校带去优质教育资源?易国栋:成都七中在很早的时候就开始了信息化教育的探索,培养了包括搜狗首席执行官王小川、哔哩哔哩董事长陈睿在内的一大批信息化人才。

1996年成都七中学生就获得了国际奥林匹克信息学竞赛金牌。

2000年,成都七中经过多次比对、考察,在与教育信息化共同目标高度契合的东方闻道公司达成成立东方闻道网校的合作意向后,更是将教育信息化和优质资源共享作为学校办学的重要组成部分,在开展周期性资源开放的同时,东方闻道联合中信国安、休斯中国等公司开展了“异地同堂”的远程教育技术攻关和同场景教学实验,并提出了基础教学模型。

米歇尔夫人英文演讲稿

米歇尔夫人英文演讲稿Hello, everyone!Thank you for inviting me to speak here today. It is truly an honor to address such a distinguished audience.As many of you may know, my name is Michelle, and I am here to share with you my vision for a better future.First and foremost, I believe that education is the key to unlocking human potential. It is through education that individuals are empowered to make a positive impact in their communities and shape the world around them. This is why I am so passionate about ensuring access to quality education for all, regardless of one's background or circumstances.Secondly, I firmly believe in the power of diversity and inclusivity. Our world is made up of individuals with unique backgrounds, thoughts, and experiences. By embracing diversity and fostering an inclusive environment, we can tap into this rich tapestry of perspectives and create innovative solutions to the challenges we face.Furthermore, I strongly advocate for the rights and empowerment of women and girls. They make up half of our population and have the potential to contribute greatly to society. We must ensure that they have equal opportunities and support to fulfill their dreams and aspirations.Lastly, I believe that it is our collective responsibility to take care of our planet. Climate change is a global challenge that requires urgent action. By conserving energy, reducing waste, and embracing sustainable practices, we can mitigate the impact of climate change and create a greener and healthier future for generations to come.In conclusion, my vision for a better future is one where education is accessible to all, where diversity and inclusivity are celebrated, where women and girls are empowered, and where we are committed to protecting and preserving our planet.Let us all work together towards this vision, for it is only through collaboration and solidarity that we can overcome the challenges that lie ahead.Thank you once again for having me here today. Together, we can make a difference.。

米歇尔北大演讲 鼓励学生走出国门留学

米歇尔北大演讲 鼓励学生走出国门留学

米歇尔北大演讲鼓励学生走出国门留学美国第一夫人米歇尔26日结束了为期一周的访华之旅。

从北京到西安、成都,第一夫人到得最多的地方,应该是学校,进了一所大学——北京大学、两所高中——北师大二附中和成都七中,接触最多的应该是中国学生,她分别在北大和成都七中做了两场演讲,在北师大二附中和成都七中,有学生一起上课,学书法、学打太极。

可谓名副其实的“教育之旅”。

对于米歇尔在北大和两所中学的活动,有舆论称,第一夫人做了最好的“留学代言”,会有更多的学生选择出国留学。

因为她在北大演讲的主题,就集中在留学上,她说,“读万卷书,不如行万里路”,“出国留学绝不仅是改善你们自己的未来,它也关乎塑造你们的国家、关乎我们共有的世界的未来。

”第一夫人确实极力鼓励学生走出国门留学,但要把这理解为留美代言,就会错意了。

留学是双向的,第一夫人在鼓励中国学生出国留学时,也鼓励美国学生到中国来留学,倡导“通过跨越国界,学会在彼此身上看到我们自己,和用共同的决心应对我们共同的挑战。

”这是我们在全球化时代,必须建立起的国际教育价值观。

米歇尔在北大演讲中提到,“美国正在推进将高中生、大学生和研究生送到这里来学习中文,我们正邀请中国老师到美国教授普通话。

”在演讲结束为白宫官网写的旅行日志中,米歇“不仅可以获得尔肯定了美国学生来到北京大学这样一所历史悠久的顶级名校所带来的收获:在中国日常生活的一手资料,锻炼自己的汉语,并且有望交到一生的中国挚友。

”并意犹未尽地写道,“在今天这个全球化程度日益加深、相互关联度日益加强的经济体中,美国公司与世界各国公司既有合作,也有竞争。

通过留学,掌握一门外语,熟悉他国文化,必定会为自己的求职加分。

”也就是说,第一夫人也大力鼓励美国学生出国留学。

但这些被淹没在我国的出国留学热潮中了,因为总体看来,我国选择欧美国家作为出国留学攻读学位目的国者,多于欧美学生选择我国留学攻读学位者,尤其是到美国留学,增幅惊人,留学还未形成双向交流之势,还呈现为单向流动。

米歇尔奥巴马_北大演讲稿

米歇尔奥巴马北大演讲稿Ni-Hao. It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university...thank you so much for having me.And before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words about Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.And with that, I want to start by recognizing our new Ambassador to China, Ambassador Because...President Wang...Chairman Zhu...Vice President Li...Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the Stanford Center...President Se*ton from New York University which has an e*cellent study abroad program in Shanghai... and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University.. .thank you all so much for joining us.And most of all, I want to thank all of the students for being here today. ..and I particularly want to thank Eric Schaferand Zhu *uanhao for that e*traordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was such a powerful symbol of everything I want to talk with you about today.You see, by learning each other's languages - and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other's cultures - Mr. Schafer and Ms. Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.And I'm here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among oeoole like you across the globe. We also e to schools like this one to meet with students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations aren't just about relationships betweenThat's why when my husband and I travel abroad,we don't just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state. We also e to schools like this one to meet wiht students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations aren't just about relationships between governments or leaders...they're about relationships between people, particularly our young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students... but also as a vital part of America's foreign policy.You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button.panies can do business and pete with panies across the globe. And we can te*t, email and skype with people on every continent. So studying abroad isn't just a fun way to spend a semester 一 it's quickly being the key to success in our global economy. Because getting ahead in today's workplaces isn't just about getting good grades or test scores in school...it's also about having real e*perience with the world beyond your borders-e*perience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.〞But let's be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future - it's also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it es to the defining challenges of our time - whether it's climate change, or economic opportunity, or thespread of nuclear weapons... these are shared challenges. No one country can confront them alone.. .the only way forward...That’s why it's so important for young people like you to live and study in each other's countries.Because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation一 you do it by immersing yourself in someone else's culture...by learning each other's stories…and by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.That's how you e to understand how much we all share.And that's how you realize that we all have a stake in each other's success - that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in America. • .that clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in China...that the architecture of an ancient temple in *i'an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or DetroitAnd that's when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.That's what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.She and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals.. .and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was a Fulbright Scholar in the U.S. last year...and he reported, and I quote, ‘The most memorable e*periences were with my American friends." These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad. ..and I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad.And today, the highest number of e*change students in the U.S. are from China.But still, to o many students never have this chance. • .and some that do are hesitant to take it.They may feel like study abroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds of universities.Or they may think to themselves, "Well, that sounds fun, but how will it really be useful in my life""I understand where these young people are ing from, because I felt the same way back when I was in college.You see, I came from a working class family.. .and it never even oecurried to me to study abroad.My parents didn't get to attend college, arid I was focused on getting into a university and earning my degree so I could get a job and support myself.And for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living e*penses halfway around the world just isn't possible.And that's not acceptable, because study abroad shouldn't just be for students from certain backgrounds.Our hope is to build conaections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that makes our country so vibrant and strong...and our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of America to the world.That's why, when my husband visited China back in 2009,he announced our 100,000 Strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in China.And this year, as we mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the normalization of relations between our countries. • .the U.S. Government actually supports more American students in Chinathan in any other country in the world.We're sending high school, college and graduate students here to study Chinese. • .we're inviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American schools...we're providing free online advising for students in China who want to study in the U.S.. .and the U.S.-China Fuibright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.The private sector is stepping up as well.For e*ample, Steve Schwarzman, the head of an American pany called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.And today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in China.Take the e*ample of Royale Nicholson from Cleveland, Ohio who attends New York University's program in Shanghai.Like me, Royale is a first generation college student. • .and her mother worked two fulltimejobs while her father worked nights to support their family.Of her e*perience in Shanghai, she said, ‘This city oozes persistence an d inspires me to acplish all that I can."And then there's Philmon Haile from the University of Washington whose family came to the U.S. as refugees fromEritrea when he was a child.Of his e*perience studying in China, he said, "Study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people e*change as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.〞"A new era of citizen diplomacy〞一 I couldn't have said it better myself, because that's really what I'm talking about. • .Pm talking about ordinary citizens reaching o ut to the world.And as I always tell young people back in America, you don't need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.I tell them that if you have an internet connection in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.That's why I'm posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my e*periences in China 一 because I want young people in America to be part of this visitThat's really the power of technology 一 how it can open up the entire world and e*pose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And that's why it is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media.Because that's how we discover the tru th. • .that's how we learn what's really happening in our munities, our country and our world.And that's how we decide which values and ideas we think are best 一 by questioning and debating them vigorously... by listening to all sides of every argument. • .and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens.. .and it's not always easy.. .but we wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies.But when it es to e*pressing yourself freely, and worshipping as you choose,and having open access to information - we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of everyperson on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as 1 was able to do in the United States. And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values. So I guarantee you that in studying abroad’ you're not just changing your own life...you're changing the lives of everyone you meet.As the great American President John F. Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the U.S., "I think they teach more than they learn."And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad. All of you are America's best face, and China's best face,to the world.Every day, you show the world your countries,energy, creativity, optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you remind us of just how much we can achieve if we reach across borders. ..and learn to see ourselves in each other...and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you all will keep seeking these kinds of e*periences.And I hope you'll keep teaching each other...and learning from each other...and building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to e.You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.Thank you so much. *ie-*ie.我今天来到这里,是因为我知道,我们的未来,取决于全世界像你们这样的年轻人之间的联系。

奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿

奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿

奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿孩子们应该受到很好的教育,说道这个问题,barack懂得,就像我们中很多人一样,没有助学金他就也不可能上大学。

你们相信吗?在我和他新婚之时,我们的助学贷款的压力甚至远大于房贷。

当时我们那么年轻,还负债累累。

因此,barack竭尽全力提高助学金额度,同时压低利息,他希望让每一个年轻人都能大展宏图,不必为了求学债台高筑,。

归根到底,这些对他来说根本无关政治,推己及人而已。

他深深得知道家庭的处境。

他懂得希望子孙过上好日子是这样一种感受。

他知道什么是美国梦,因为他曾亲身经历。

他希望每一个人都能有相同的机会。

无论身份,无论家乡,无论种族,无论信仰和情感。

他相信当每一个人努力奋斗,出人头地,在通过机遇的大门之后,不会自私地关上大门,而会转身伸出援手。

给予人们共同的机会一起成功!如果你要问我白宫这四年是否改变我的丈夫?我可以坦诚相告,不论是看他的品格,信仰,还是内心,此时此刻的他是彼时彼地我相爱的那个人!如今的他还会像那时一样,拒绝高薪工作,而深入社区基层,去帮助濒临倒闭的钢厂的职工和家属。

去重建那样的社区,帮助人们再度就业。

因为对他来讲,成功的标准并不是收入,而是你对他人生的积极影响,他还是那个当女儿刚降生时,会分分钟钟就跑到婴儿床边查看女儿是否还在呼吸的那个父亲。

会抱着女儿去找所有的熟人显摆。

他至今仍每晚和我跟女儿一起吃晚餐。

耐心地回答她们关于新闻和时事的问题,为她们在学校交朋友的事儿出谋划策。

每天深夜我都见到他在办公室沉默着,翻着一封封寄给他的信。

有的信来自艰难谋生维持家用的父亲,有的来自被保险公司弃之不管的病入膏肓的女性,有的信来自徒有大志却怀才不遇的年轻人,我看到他为此忧心不已,他无比坚定地对我说:你无法想象他们过着什么样的日子,米歇尔,这是不对的!我们必须再接再厉去改变这些,我们做的还远远不够!我看到那些故事,那些艰难困苦和那些梦想希望,正是那一切让奥巴马每日为之努力,从前的我绝想不到今天的我反而比四年前更爱我的丈夫了,甚至远胜23年前我们相爱时,我爱他!因为他不忘本!我爱他,因为他会去履行承诺,困难当头他只会越挫越勇,我爱他,因为他对人们一视同仁!从不管你是那个党派,又或是有无党派。

奥巴马夫人米歇尔的助选演讲稿(中英文对照)

奥巴马夫人米歇尔的助选演讲稿(中英文对照)

First Lady Michelle Obama:When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could've attended college without financial aid.And believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage.We were so young, so in love, and so in debt。

That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down,because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end,for Barack, these issues aren’t political –they’re personal。

Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles.He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it。

米歇尔在成都7中演讲稿(英文版)

米歇尔在成都7中演讲稿(英文版)

米歇尔在成都7中演讲稿(整理)No,7 schoolToday, I had the pleasure of visiting the No. 7 School here in Chengdu, an extraordinary high school that uses the power of technology to bring educational opportunities to students across southwest China.More than 5,000 high school students attend the No. 7 School in person each day –and 42,000 more high school students from 182 schools in smaller cities and rural areas attend remotely. Classrooms here in Chengdu are equipped with large screens –and students from across the region can beam in and take part in the same lessons (and they even get assigned the same homework too). Many of the students who attend classes remotely are from disadvantaged backgrounds, and the education they get at the No. 7 school gives them a better chance of possibly being accepted into college.The average day here at the No. 7 School starts at 7:30am and goes until 5:00pm (and that includes classes and extracurricular activities like sports and music). Much of the students’ time in class is spe nt preparing for an exam called the GaoKao that they take during their last year of high school. Unlike in the U.S., where students get accepted to college based on various factors like grades, SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular activities, essays and recommendations, in China, the only thing colleges really look at is a student’s score on the GaoKao.Chinese families and students tend to place a very high value on education. Many parents in China make great sacrifices to give their children the best education possible, and many students study long hours to get a good score on the GaoKao.I started my visit at the No. 7 School by speaking with about 600 students in their school auditorium – and about 12,000 of the remote students participated by video.I talked with the students about how, when we live so far from each other, it’s easy for us to develop all kinds of misconceptions about each other – but it often turns out that we have so much in common. I cited my own experience growing up in America as an example and pointed out that many parts of my story – my humble background, the closeness of my family, my parents’ determination to see my brother and I get a good education – are similar to their life stories.I also spoke with the students about our values as Americans, particularly our passionate belief in what we call "the American Dream" –the idea that it shouldn’t matter where you live, or how much money your parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are. Instead, if you work hard and believe in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed.Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy, and there have been times in our history when we have fallen short. As you know, many decades ago, there were actually laws that allowed discimination against African American people like me. But over time, ordinary citizens decided that those laws were unfair, and they led the civil rights movement to change them. Slowly but surely, they succeeded -- and today, just 50 years later, my husband and I are President and First Lady of the United States.Finally, I spoke about the basic rights our Constitution grants to all our people, such as the right to speak freely and worship as you choose. Like many other countries in the world, however, China restricts the free exercise of speech and religion in various ways. And as I said in an earlier blog post, while every country will ultimately make its own decisions about these issues, in America, we view these rights as universal human rights that belong to all people in all countries. And my husband and I often speak about these values when we travel, because we believe that's the best way to foster a dialogue with other countries through which we can learn about their beliefs and share our own. That's how we build the bonds of understanding that will be so vital for addressing our shared challenges in the years ahead.After my speech, I had the pleasure of participating in an English class with about 40 students here in Chengdu and over 18,000 students from 160 schools watching remotely. We had a lively discussion on topics including the following: how schools can encourage creativity in students; how students can deal with competition and failure; the value of studying aboad; the importance of challenging yourself and pushing yourself outside your comfort zone; and my impressions of China and Chinese culture.I then had a chance to observe, and then participate in, a Tai Chi class. Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art that is centuries old. It involves slow, flowing movements and a focus on your breathing. It is a truly beautiful form of physical activity, and I loved giving it a try.I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the No. 7 School, and I learned a great deal from the terrific students there。

∙∙米歇尔在成都七中的演讲It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thank you so much for your warm welcome.米歇尔·奥巴马Ni hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thank you so much for your warm welcome.Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that our hearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia AirlinesFlight 370. As I said this past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all of them in our thoughts and our prayers at this tremendously difficult time.So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate, Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, and you should be very proud. Thank you somuch. (Applause.) And I want to thank all of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of you joining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderfu l school.Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School. It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the students at this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11 and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they were bursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about what they had seen.But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions about China. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, but instead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure that they’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how to use chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote -- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.”Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away from each other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’s easy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eat different foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meet young people from so many countries, I’m always struck by how much more we have in common.And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China.You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, my brother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largest cities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t have much money, but our little home was bursting withlove. Every evening, my family would laugh and share stories over dinner. We’d play card games and have fun for hours. And on summer nights, I remember, when our apartment got too hot, we’d all sleep outside on our back porch.Family meant everything to us, including our extended family. My grandparents lived nearby, and my elderly great aunt and uncle lived in the apartment downstairs from us. And when their health started to decline my parents stepped in, helping my uncle shave and dress each morning, dashing downstairs in the middle of the night to check on my aunt.So in my family, like in so many of your families, we took care of each other. And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams for me and my brother. They had only a high school education themselves, but they were determined to send us both to universities.So they poured all of their love and all of their hope into us, and they worked hard. They saved every penny. And I know that wasn’t easy for them, especially for my father. You see, my father had a serious illness called multiple sclerosis. And as he got sicker, it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to get dressed in the morning.But no matter how tired he felt, no matter how much pain he was in, my father hardly ever missed a day of work, because he was determined to give me and my brother a better life. And every day, like so many of you, I felt the weight of my parents’ sacrifices on my shoulders. Every day, I wanted to make them proud.So while most American kids attend public schools near their homes, when it was time for me to attend high school, I took an exam and got into a special public high school where I could get a better education. But the school was very far from my home, so I had to get up early every morning and ride a bus for an hour, sometimes an hour and a half if the weather was bad. And every afternoon, I’d ride that same bus back home and then immediately start my homework, often studying late into the night -- and sometimes I would wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to study even more.And it wasn’t easy. But whenever I got tired or discouraged, I would just think about how hard my parents were working for me. And I would remembersomething my mother always told me –- she said: “A good education is something that no one can take away fro m you.”And when it was time for me to apply to university, I had many options, because in America, there are many kinds of universities. There are four-year universities. There are two-year community colleges which are less expensive. There are universities where you take classes at night while working during the day. So you don’t have to be a top student to attend a university. And even if your parents don’t have much money or you live in a tiny town in a rural area, in America, you can still attend university. And you can get scholarships and government loans to help pay your tuition.So I attended Princeton University for my undergraduate degree, and I went on to Harvard University for my graduate degree in law. And with those degrees I was able to become a lawyer at a large law firm, and then I worked as an executive at a city hospital, and then I was the director of an organization that helped disadvantaged young people.And my story isn’t unusual in America. Some of our most famous athletes, like LeBron James, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, came from struggling families like mine, as do many business leaders – like Howard Schultz. He’s the head of a company called Starbucks, which many of you may have heard of. When Mr. Schultz was a boy his father lost his job, leaving their family destitute. But Mr. Schultz worked hard. He got a scholarship to a university, and eventually built the largest coffeehouse company in the world.And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised b y a single mother who sometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy got scholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor, and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he became President of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, Barack Obama. (Applause.)These stories are the stories of so many Americans, and of America itself. Because in America, we believe that no matter where you live or how much money your parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are, if you work hard and believe in yourself, then you should have a chance tosucceed. We also believe that everyone is equal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship as we choose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agree with what we believe.Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy. And there have been times in our history where we have fallen short. Many decades ago, there were actually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me, who are a minority in the United States. But over time, ordinary citizens decided that those laws were unfair. So they held peaceful protests and marches. They called on government officials to change those laws, and they voted to elect new officials who shared their views.And slowly but surely, America changed. We got rid of those unjust laws. And today, just 50 years later, my husband and I are President and First Lady of the United States. And that is really the story of America –- how over the course of our short history, through so many trials and struggles, we have become more equal, more inclusive, and more free.And today in America, people of every race, religion and ethnicity live together and work together to build a better life for their children and grandchildren. And in the end, that deep yearning to leave something better for those who come after us, that is something we all truly share. In fact, there’s a Chinese saying that I love that says, “To achieve true happiness, help the next generation.”And like so many of your parents, my parents sacrificed so much so that I could have opportunities they never dreamed of. And today, as a mother myself, I want even more opportunities for my own daughters. But of course, as I always tell my daughters, with opportunities come obligations.And that is true for all of you as well. You all have the opportunity to receive an education from this wonderful school, and you all have an obligation to take the fullest advantage of this opportunity. And I know that’s exactly what you all are doing.You’re winning prizes in math and science. Here, you are staging musical performances around the world. You’re volunteering in your communities. And many of you are working hard to get an education your parents never dreamed of.So you all have so much to offer –- and that’s a good thing, because the world needs your talent. The world needs your creativity and energy more than ever before. Because we face big challenges that know no borders –- like improving the quality of our air and water, ensuring that people have good jobs, stopping the spread of disease. And soon, it will all fall to all of you to come together with people on every continent and solve these problems together.Now, fortunately, here at this wonderful school, you’re already well on your way. For more than a decade, you’ve been building special relationships with a American school in -- an American high school, and many of you will attend universities in America or find other ways to reach out beyond your borders.So in the years ahead, much like you and I are doing here today, you will be creating bonds of friendship across the globe that will last for decades to come. And over the past week, as I have seen both the ancient wonders and the modern achievements of your fascinating country, and as I’ve met with extraordinary young people like all of you, I am more confident than ever before in our shared future. And I cannot wait to see everything that you will achieve here in China and around the world.Thank you again for hosting me and my family at this extraordinary school, and I wish you all the best of luck in your journey ahead.
