美国总统奥巴马胜选演讲稿(中英文)

美国总统奥巴马胜选演讲稿(中英文)超过10万人4日深夜把美国芝加哥格兰特公园变成狂欢的海洋。

当选总统贝拉克奥巴马在这里向支持者宣布:“变革已降临美国。

”他在这篇获胜演说中承诺推进“变革”,但呼吁支持者付出耐心,甚至提及连任。

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果,还有人怀疑美国是一切皆有可能的国度,还有人怀疑国父们的梦想在我们的时代是否还存在,还有人怀疑我们的民主所拥有的力量,那么今晚,你听到了回答。

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.是那些今天在学校和教堂排着长队、数不胜数的选民做出了回答;是那些为了投票等待了三四个小时的人们做出了回答。

他们中的很多人,是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们相信,这次真的不同――他们的声音会让这次不同。

我们不妨来看看奥巴马告别演讲英文全文吧,以下是XX精心整理的相关内容,希望对大家有所帮助!奥巴马告别演讲英文全文It’s good to be home. My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes we’ve received over the past few weeks. But tonight it’s my turn to say thanks. Whether we’ve seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant outposts are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going. Every day, I learned from you. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.I first came to Chicago when I was in my early twenties, still trying to figure out who I was; still searching for a purpose to my life. It was in neighborhoods not far from here where I began working with church groups in the shadows of closed steel mills. It was on these streets where I witnessed the power offaith, and the quiet dignity of working people in the face of struggle and loss. This is where I learned that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it.After eight years as your President, I still believe that. And it’s not just my belief. It’s the beating heart of our American idea our bold experiment in self-government.It’s the conviction that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.It’s the insistence that these rights, while self-evident, have never been self-executing; that We, the People, through the instrument of our democracy, can form a more perfect union.This is the great gift our Founders gave us. The freedom to chase our individual dreams through our sweat, toil, and imagination and the imperative to strive together as well, to achieve a greater good.For 240 years, our nation’s call to citizenship has given work and purpose to each new generation. It’s what led patriots to choose republic over tyranny,pioneers to trek west, slaves to brave that makeshift railroad to freedom. It’s what pulled immigrants and refugees across oceans and the Rio Grande, pushed women to reach for the ballot, powered workers to organize. It’s why GIs gave their lives at Omaha Beach and Iwo Jima; Iraq and Afghanistan and why men and women from Selma to Stonewall were prepared to give theirs as well.So that’s what we mean when we say America is exceptional. Not that our nation has been flawless from the start, but that we have shown the capacity to change, and make life better for those who follow.For white Americans, it means acknowledging that the effects of slavery and Jim Crow didn’t suddenly vanish in the ‘60s; that when minority groups voice discontent, they’re not just engaging in reverse racism or practicing political correctness; that when they wage peaceful protest, they’re not demanding special treatment, but the equal treatment our Founders promised.For native-born Americans, it means reminding ourselves that the stereotypes about immigrants today were said, almost word for word, about the Irish,Italians, and Poles. America wasn’t weakened by the presence of these newcomers; they embraced this nation’s creed, and it was strengthened.So regardless of the station we occupy; we have to try harder; to start with the premise that each of our fellow citizens loves this country just as much as we do; that they value hard work and family like we do; that their children are just as curious and hopeful and worthy of love as our own.None of this is easy. For too many of us, it’s become safer to retreat into our own bubbles, whether in our neighborhoods or college campuses or places of worship or our social media feeds, surrounded by people who look like us and share the same political outlook and never challenge our assumptions. The rise of naked partisanship, increasing economic and regional stratification, the splintering of our media into a channel for every taste all this makes this great sorting seem natural, even inevitable. And increasingly, we become so secure in our bubbles that we accept only information, whether true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions onthe evidence that’s out there.This trend represents a third threat to our democracy. Politics is a battle of ideas; in the course of a healthy debate, we’ll prioritize different goals, and the different means of reaching them. But without some common baseline of facts; without a willingness to admit new information, and concede that your opponent is making a fair point, and that science and reason matter, we’ll keep talking past each other, making common ground and compromise impossible.Isn’t that part of what makes politics so dispiriting? How can elected officials rage about deficits when we propose to spend money on preschool for kids, but not when we’re cutting taxes for corporations? How do we excuse ethical lapses in our own party, but pounce when the other party does the same thing? It’s not just dishonest, this selective sorting of the facts; it’s self-defeating. Because as my mother used to tell me, reality has a way of catching up with you.Take the challenge of climate change. In just eight years, we’ve halved our dependence on foreign oil,doubled our renewable energy, and led the world to an agreement that has the promise to save this planet. But without bolder action, our children won’t have time to debate the existence of climate change; they’ll be busy dealing with its effects: environmental disasters, economic disruptions, and waves of climate refugees seeking sanctuary.Now, we can and should argue about the best approach to the problem. But to simply deny the problem not only betrays future generations; it betrays the essential spirit of innovation and practical problem-solving that guided our Founders.It’s that spirit, born of the Enlightenment, that made us an economic powerhouse the spirit that took flight at Kitty Hawk and Cape Canaveral; the spirit that that cures disease and put a computer in every pocket.It’s that spirit a faith in reason, and enterprise, and the primacy of right over might, that allowed us to resist the lure of fascism and tyranny during the Great Depression, and build a post-World War II order with other democracies, an order based not just on military power or national affiliations but onprinciples the rule of law, human rights, freedoms of religion, speech, assembly, and an independent press.That order is now being challenged first by violent fanatics who claim to speak for Islam; more recently by autocrats in foreign capitals who see free markets, open democracies, and civil society itself as a threat to their power. The peril each poses to our democracy is more far-reaching than a car bomb or a missile. It represents the fear of change; the fear of people who look or speak or pray differently; a contempt for the rule of law that holds leaders accountable; an intolerance of dissent and free thought; a belief that the sword or the gun or the bomb or propaganda machine is the ultimate arbiter of what’s true and what’s right.Because of the extraordinary courage of our men and women in uniform, and the intelligence officers, law enforcement, and diplomats who support them, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland these past eight years; and although Boston and Orlando remind us of how dangerous radicalization can be, our law enforcement agencies are more effective and vigilant than ever. We’ve taken out tens of thousands of terrorists including Osama bin Laden. The global coalition we’re leading against ISIL has taken out their leaders, and taken away about half their territory. ISIL will be destroyed, and no one who threatens America will ever be safe. To all who serve, it has been the honor of my lifetime to be your Commander-in-Chief.But protecting our way of life requires more than our military. Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear. So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are. That’s why, for the past eight years, I’ve worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing. That’s why we’ve ended torture, worked to close Gitmo, and reform our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties. That’s why I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans. That’s why we cannot withdraw from global fights to expand democracy, and human rights, women’s rights, and LGBT rights no matter how imperfect our efforts, no matter how expedient ignoring such values may seem. For thefight against extremism and intolerance and sectarianism are of a piece with the fight against authoritarianism and nationalist aggression. If the scope of freedom and respect for the rule of law shrinks around the world, the likelihood of war within and between nations increases, and our own freedoms will eventually be threatened.So let’s be vigilant, but not afraid. ISIL will try to kill innocent people. But they cannot defeat America unless we betray our Constitution and our principles in the fight. Rivals like Russia or China cannot match our influence around the world unless we give up what we stand for, and turn ourselves into just another big country that bullies smaller neighbors.Which brings me to my final point our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted. All of us, regardless of party, should throw ourselves into the task of rebuilding our democratic institutions. When voting rates are some of the lowest among advanced democracies, we should make it easier, not harder, to vote. When trust in our institutions is low, we should reduce the corrosive influence of money in our politics,and insist on the principles of transparency and ethics in public service. When Congress is dysfunctional, we should draw our districts to encourage politicians to cater to common sense and not rigid extremes.And all of this depends on our participation; on each of us accepting the responsibility of citizenship, regardless of which way the pendulum of power swings.Our Constitution is a remarkable, beautiful gift. But it’s really just a piece of parchment. It has no power on its own. We, the people, give it power with our participation, and the choices we make. Whether or not we stand up for our freedoms. Whether or not we respect and enforce the rule of law. America is no fragile thing. But the gains of our long journey to freedom are not assured.In his own farewell address, George Washington wrote that self-government is the underpinning of our safety, prosperity, and liberty, but “from different causes and from different quarters much pains will be taken…to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth;” that we should preserve it with “jealous anxiety;” that we should reject “the first dawningof every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest or to enfeeble the sacred ties” that make us one.We weaken those ties when we allow our political dialogue to become so corrosive that people of good character are turned off from public service; so coarse with rancor that Americans with whom we disagree are not just misguided, but somehow malevolent. We weaken those ties when we define some of us as more American than others; when we write off the whole system as inevitably corrupt, and blame the leaders we elect without examining our own role in electing them.It falls to each of us to be those anxious, jealous guardians of our democracy; to embrace the joyous task we’ve been given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours. Because for all our outward differences, we all share the same proud title: Citizen.Ultimately, that’s what our democracy demands. It needs you. Not just when there’s an election, not just when your own narrow interest is at stake, but over the full span of a lifetime. If you’re tired of arguing with strangers on the internet, try to talk with onein real life. If something needs fixing, lace up your shoes and do some organizing. If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself. Show up. Dive in. Persevere. Sometimes you’ll win. Sometimes you’ll lose. Presuming a reservoir of goodness in others can be a risk, and there will be times when the process disappoints you. But for those of us fortunate enough to have been a part of this work, to see it up close, let me tell you, it can energize and inspire. And more often than not, your faith in America and in Americans will be confirmed.Mine sure has been. Over the course of these eight years, I’ve seen the hopeful faces of young graduates and our newest military officers. I’ve mourned with grieving families searching for answers, and found grace in Charleston church. I’ve seen our scientists help a paralyzed man regain his sense of touch, and our wounded warriors walk again. I’ve seen our doctors and volunteers rebuild after earthquakes and stop pandemics in their tracks. I’ve seen the youngest of children remind us of our obligations to care forrefugees, to work in peace, and above all to look out for each other.That faith I placed all those years ago, not far from here, in the power of ordinary Americans to bring about change that faith has been rewarded in ways I couldn’t possibly have imagined. I hope yours has, too. Some of you here tonight or watching at home were there with us in XX, in XX, in XX and maybe you still can’t believe we pulled this whole thing off.You’re not the only ones. Michelle for the past twenty-five years, you’ve been not only my wife and mother of my children, but my best friend. You took on a role you didn’t ask for and made it your own with grace and grit and style and good humor. You made the White House a place that belongs to everybody. And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model. You’ve made me proud. You’ve made the country proud.Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women, smart and beautiful, but more importantly, kind and thoughtful and full of passion. You wore the burden ofyears in the spotlight so easily. Of all that I’ve done in my life, I’m most proud to be your dad.To Joe Biden, the scrappy kid from Scranton who became Delaware’s favorite son: you were the first choice I made as a nominee, and the best. Not just because you have been a great Vice President, but because in the bargain, I gained a brother. We love you and Jill like family, and your friendship has been one of the great joys of our life.To my remarkable staff: For eight years and for some of you, a whole lot more I’ve drawn from your energy, and tried to reflect back what you displayed every day: heart, and character, and idealism. I’ve watched you grow up, get married, have kids, and start incredible new journeys of your own. Even when times got tough and frustrating, you never let Washington get the better of you. The only thing that makes me prouder than all the good we’ve done is the thought of all the remarkable things you’ll achieve from here.And to all of you out there every organizer who moved to an unfamiliar town and kind family who welcomed them in, every volunteer who knocked on doors, everyyoung person who cast a ballot for the first time, every American who lived and breathed the hard work of change you are the best supporters and organizers anyone could hope for, and I will forever be grateful. Because yes, you changed the world.That’s why I leave this stage tonight even more optimistic about this country than I was when we started. Because I know our work has not only helped so many Americans; it has inspired so many Americans especially so many young people out there to believe you can make a difference; to hitch your wagon to something bigger than yourselves. This generation coming up unselfish, altruistic, creative, patriotic I’ve seen you in every corner of the country. You believe in a fair, just, inclusive America; you know that constant change has been America’s hallmark, something not to fear but to embrace, and you are willing to carry this hard work of democracy forward. You’ll soon outnumber any of us, and I believe as a result that the future is in good hands.My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won’t stop; in fact, I will beright there with you, as a citizen, for all my days that remain. For now, whether you’re young or young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago.I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change but in yours.I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents; that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists; that spirit sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice; that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon; a creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written:Yes We Can.Yes We Did.Yes We Can.Thank you. God bless you. And may God continue to bless the United States of America.。

美国奥巴马的英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,。

It is a great honor for me to stand before you today and address the people of the United States and the world. As the President of the United States, I have the privilege and responsibility to lead this great nation, and to represent our values and ideals on the global stage.I believe in the power of words to inspire, to unite, and to bring about positive change. Throughout history, great leaders have used their words to shape the course of events, to rally people to a cause, and to create a vision for a better future. Today, I stand before you to share my vision for America and the world, and to call on all of us to work together to make that vision a reality.In my time as President, I have witnessed the resilience and strength of the American people. I have seen communities come together in the face of adversity, and I have seen individuals rise above their circumstances to achieve greatness. This is the spirit of America – the belief that anything is possible, and that we all have a part to play in shaping our destiny.As we look to the future, we must confront the challenges that lie ahead. We face the threat of climate change, the spread of terrorism, and the persistence of inequality and injustice. These are not easy problems to solve, but I believe that if we work together, we can overcome them.We must also remember the values that have always defined us as a nation. The belief in freedom, equality, and opportunity for all. The understanding that our diversity is our strength, and that we must strive to create a society where everyone has the chance to succeed.In my time as President, I have had the opportunity to travel the world and meet with leaders and citizens from every corner of the globe. I have seen the power of diplomacyand dialogue to bring about change, and I have seen the importance of standing up for our values, even in the face of opposition.I believe that America has a unique role to play in the world – a role of leadership, of partnership, and of service. We must work with other nations to address the challenges that affect us all, and we must lead by example in upholding the principles that we hold dear.I am confident that if we stay true to our values, if we work together with purpose and determination, and if we never lose sight of the potential for progress and change, we can build a better future for our children and grandchildren, and for generations to come.Thank you, and may God bless America.。

奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)

奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)第一篇:奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)亲爱的公民同胞们:今天我站在这裡﹐面对眼前的任务﹐深感卑微。

感谢你们给予我的信任﹐我也清楚前辈们為这个国家所作的牺牲。

我要感谢布什总统对国家的服务﹐感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给予的慷慨协作。

时至今日﹐已有44位美国总统宣誓就职。

总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣﹐有时面临的是狂风骤雨的紧张形势。

在这种时刻﹐支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见﹐更是美国人民对先驱者理想的坚定信仰﹐以及对美国建国宣言的忠诚。

过去是这样﹐我们这一代美国人也要如此。

我们都狠清楚﹐我们正处於危机之中。

我们的国家正在对触角广泛的暴力和仇恨网络宣战。

国家的经济也受到了严重的削弱﹐这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果﹐但在做出艰难选择和準备迎接新时代方面﹐我们出现了集体性的失误。

家园失去了﹔工作丢掉了﹔商业萧条了。

我们的医疗卫生耗资巨大﹔我们的学校让许多人失望﹔每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大﹐并且威胁到了我们整个星球。

这些﹐是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。

而更难以衡量但同样意义深远的是美国人自信心的丧失──现在一种认為美国衰落不可避免﹐我们的下一代必须降低期待的恐惧正在吞噬着我们的自信。

今天我要向你们说的是﹐我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。

这些挑战狠多﹐也狠严重﹐它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就得以克服。

但记住这一点:美国终将渡过难关。

今天﹐我们聚集在这裡﹐是因為我们选择了希望而不是恐惧﹐团结而不是冲突与争执。

今天﹐我们在这裡宣佈要為无谓的抱怨、不实的承诺和指责画上句号﹐我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的陈旧教条。

我们仍是一个年轻的国家﹐但借用《圣经》的话说﹐摒弃幼稚的时代已经来临。

是时候重树我们坚韧的精神﹔选择我们更好的歷史﹔弘扬那些珍贵的天赋和高尚的理念﹐并代代传承下去﹐即上帝赋予的信念:天下眾生皆平等﹐眾生皆自由﹐且均应有追求最大幸福的机会。

今天,我们正见证历史的时刻,这是美国梦成真的一刻。

我们共同作证,美国的力量源自我们每一个人,而非单纯依赖一个人。

As I stand here today, entrusted with the duty and honor of the Presidency, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of excitement. Today, we bear witness to a moment in history; a moment when the American dream becomes a reality. Together, we affirm that the strength of America lies not in one person, but in every individual among us.我向上一届的总统乔治·W·布什表示感谢,我们虽然意见不同,但我们是同一个国家的一员。

我们正面临着重大的挑战,不断变化着的世界需要我们共同努力迈向更好的未来。

我们将遵循我们的价值观,尊重我们的传统,并秉持我们的信仰,这些将引领我们向前。

I would like to express my gratitude to the previous President, George W. Bush. Though we may have had differences in opinions, we are all members of the same nation. We face significant challenges, as the world constantly evolves and demands our collective effort towards a better future. Guided by our values, grounded in our traditions, and sustained by our beliefs, we will move forward.在我们的国家历史上,我们曾经相信我们的国家可以战胜一切困难,对未来充满无限希望。

奥巴马大学演讲稿中英文

English Speech:Ladies and Gentlemen,It is a great honor to stand before you today at this esteemed university. I am here to talk about the future, and more specifically, the role of higher education in shaping that future. We are at a pivotal moment in history, where the rapid pace of technological advancement and globalization is reshaping the world as we know it.First and foremost, let me commend the students, faculty, and staff of this university for your commitment to excellence. Your pursuit of knowledge and your dedication to learning are the cornerstones of progress. But let us not be complacent. The challenges we face today require us to reevaluate and reinvent the way we approach education.In the past, higher education was primarily about preparing students for well-defined careers. Today, we live in an era of constant change, where the skills we acquire in college are just the beginning. We must prepare our students not just for jobs, but for lives of purpose and fulfillment.The first step in this journey is to ensure that higher education is accessible to all. We must remove the barriers that prevent studentsfrom pursuing their dreams. This means expanding financial aid, making college more affordable, and providing pathways to success for those who come from underserved communities.Secondly, we must focus on the quality of education. In an age of information overload, it is not enough to simply impart knowledge. We must teach students how to think critically, solve complex problems, and adapt to new challenges. This requires a reimagining of the curriculum, one that is dynamic and responsive to the needs of a changing world.We also need to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship on our campuses. By encouraging students to think creatively and take risks, we can cultivate the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs whowill drive economic growth and social progress.Furthermore, we must recognize the importance of global citizenship. In a world that is more interconnected than ever before, our students must be prepared to engage with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. This requires a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and an understanding that our collective success depends on our ability to work together.As we look to the future, we must also address the growing divide between those who have access to higher education and those who do not. This divide is not just a matter of access to resources, but also of opportunity. We must work to close this gap, not just for the sake of social justice, but for the sake of our economy and our society.Innovation is the lifeblood of our economy, and higher education is the engine of innovation. By investing in research and development, we can create new industries, new jobs, and new opportunities. But innovation is not just about technology; it is about ideas, and it is about people. We must cultivate a culture of curiosity and creativity, one that inspires our students to dream big and to pursue their passions.As we embark on this journey, let us not forget the importance of mentorship and guidance. The role of the professor, the advisor, and the mentor is more critical than ever before. We must be there for our students, not just as teachers, but as guides and as friends.In conclusion, the future of higher education is bright, but it is also complex. We must be bold in our vision, and we must be agile in our approach. We must embrace change, and we must be willing to challenge the status quo. Together, we can create a future that is inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous.Thank you for your attention, and may this university continue to be a beacon of light in the world of education.Chinese Speech:尊敬的女士们、先生们,今天能够站在这所著名大学的讲台上,我感到非常荣幸。

大学英语奥巴马的演讲稿

Ladies and Gentlemen,It is a great honor and a privilege to stand before you today at the University of Cape Town. As I look out at this vibrant campus, I am reminded of the incredible potential that lies within each of you. You are the future leaders, innovators, and change-makers of this world. And it is here, in this moment, that I want to share with you a message of hope, a call to service, and a vision for a brighter future.First, let me extend my deepest gratitude to the University of Cape Town for inviting me to speak to you today. Your commitment to excellence, to fostering intellectual curiosity, and to promoting social justice is an inspiration to us all. Your university is a beacon of light in a world that desperately needs more beacons of light.As I stand before you, I am reminded of the history of this great institution. The University of Cape Town has a long and proud tradition of standing up for what is right, of challenging the status quo, and of embracing the diversity of thought and experience. This tradition is evident in the struggles of your predecessors, who fought against apartheid and for the freedom and dignity of all people. It is a tradition that continues to shape the character of this university, and it is a tradition that I deeply admire.Today, we live in a world that is more interconnected than ever before. Advances in technology have brought people closer together, allowing us to share ideas, to learn from one another, and to build a more just and prosperous world. Yet, with this interconnectedness comes great challenges. We face a world that is divided by conflict, by inequality, and by a lack of hope.As young people, you have the power to shape this world. You have the power to bridge the divides that separate us, to overcome the challenges that confront us, and to build a future that is brighter than the one we inherited. But this requires a commitment to service, to action, and to the common good.Let me share with you a story that has inspired me throughout my life.It is the story of a young girl named Malala Yousafzai, who stood up for the right to education in her native Pakistan. Despite facing grave threats to her life, Malala continued to advocate for the rights ofgirls and women, inspiring millions around the world. Her courage and determination remind us that even in the darkest times, hope can befound in the hearts of young people who are willing to stand up for what is right.As you embark on your journey of learning and discovery, I urge you to consider the following questions:1. What is your purpose? What drives you to get out of bed each morning? What are you passionate about? Answering these questions will help you stay focused and committed to your goals.2. How can you make a difference? What is your unique talent, your special skill, that you can use to contribute to the world? Whether itis through science, technology, art, or service, there is a way for each of you to make a meaningful impact.3. Who will you serve? Will you choose to serve the few, or will you serve the many? Will you choose to serve your own interests, or will you choose to serve the common good? The answer to this question will define the legacy you leave behind.As you answer these questions, I want to share with you three principles that I believe can guide you on your path:1. Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. It is the key to unlocking the potential within each of us. Invest in your education, and continue to learn and grow throughout your life.2. Service is the best expression of our gratitude. When we give back to our communities, we not only help others, but we also find fulfillment and purpose in our own lives. Find opportunities to serve, and make a difference in the lives of others.3. Leadership is about the ability to inspire others to join you in a common cause. It is not about power or authority, but about the power of your ideas and the strength of your character. Lead with humility, compassion, and integrity.As you leave this campus, take with you these three principles. Let them guide your actions, shape your decisions, and inspire your dreams. Remember that you are part of a larger story, a story of human progress, a story of hope and possibility.In closing, I want to leave you with a quote from Nelson Mandela, who once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." As you embrace the power of education, as you commit to service, and as you lead with courage and conviction, you will change the world.Thank you, and may God bless you all.[Applause]。

奥巴马国会告别演讲稿英文Ladies and gentlemen,。

It's been a long and eventful journey, but as my time as President comes to an end, I stand before you today to bid farewell to the United States Congress and the American people. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve as the 44th President of this great nation, and I am grateful for the trust and support that you have given me over the past eight years.When I first took office, our country was facing one of the greatest economic crises in history. The financial system was on the brink of collapse, millions of Americans were losing their homes, and the unemployment rate was soaring. But through hard work and determination, we were able to turn the tide and set our nation on a path to recovery. Today, our economy is stronger than ever, with over 15 million new jobs created and the unemployment rate cut in half.But our accomplishments go beyond just economic recovery. We have made great strides in healthcare, with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, which has provided millions of Americans with access to affordable, quality healthcare. We have also taken significant steps in the fight against climate change, with the historic Paris Agreement and the Clean Power Plan. And we have worked tirelessly to promote equality and justice for all, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.Of course, our work is far from finished. There are still many challenges facing our nation, from the threat of terrorism to the need for comprehensive immigration reform. But I am confident that, with the same spirit of unity and determination that has brought us this far, we will continue to make progress and build a better future for our children and grandchildren.As I reflect on my time in office, I am reminded of the words of President Abraham Lincoln, who once said, "The best way to predict your future is to create it." Together, we have created a future that is brighter and more hopeful than ever before. And as I prepareto pass the baton to my successor, I am filled with optimism and confidence in the resilience and strength of the American people.In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for your support and dedication. It has been the privilege of my life to serve as your President, and I will carry the memories and lessons of these past eight years with me always. Thank you, and may God bless the United States of America.。

奥巴马胜选演讲全文(中英)Thank you so much.非常感谢你们。

Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.今夜,在当年的殖民地赢得了决定自己命运的权利200多年以后,让美利坚合众国更加完美的任务又向前推进了一步。

It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.这一进程是因为你们而向前推进的,因为你们再次确认了那种使美国胜利克服了战争和萧条的精神,那种使美国摆脱绝望的深渊并走向希望的最高点的精神,以及那种虽然我们每个人都在追求自己的个人梦想、但我们同属一个美国大家庭、并作为一个国家和民族共同进退的信仰。

Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard,while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come.今夜,在此次选举中,你们这些美国人民提醒我们,虽然我们的道路一直艰难,虽然我们的旅程一直漫长,但我们已经让自己振作起来,我们已经发起反击,我们在自己内心深处知道,对美利坚合众国来说,最美好一切属于未来。

奥巴马英文励志演讲稿

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning. It is an honor to stand before you today, and I want to share with you a story that I believe resonates with all of us—the story of America, the story of our collective journey, and the story of the power of determination.We find ourselves at a critical juncture in history. The world is changing rapidly, and with it, so are the challenges we face. But let us not forget that change has always been the heartbeat of our nation. It has been the very essence of what makes America exceptional.I stand before you not just as a former President, but as a citizen of this great country, and as a testament to the idea that no matter where you start, you can rise to any height through the power of determination.When I took office eight years ago, America was facing its most daunting challenges in generations. Our economy was in turmoil, our healthcare system was broken, and our planet was at risk. But we did not cower in the face of these challenges. Instead, we embraced them. We took on the giants of our time, and we did not let them define us.We made tough decisions, and we took on the hard work. We passed the Affordable Care Act, not because it was easy, but because it was right. We took on Wall Street reform, not because we wanted to punish anyone, but because we wanted to prevent a crisis like this from ever happening again. We made the most significant investments in clean energy in our history, not because it was convenient, but because it was necessary for the survival of our planet.And through it all, we reminded ourselves that we are not defined by our past, but by our future. We are not limited by our challenges, but empowered by our determination.I want to talk about the power of determination because it is a force that has shaped our nation's history and will continue to shape our future. It is the force that has allowed us to overcome slavery and segregation, to build the most prosperous nation on Earth, and to lead the world in science and technology.Determination is not just about willpower; it is about believing in ourselves and in each other. It is about having the courage to dream big and the perseverance to see those dreams through. It is about knowingthat our efforts, no matter how small, can lead to monumental change.Consider the story of Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani girl who stood up for the right to education and was nearly killed for it.Malala's determination did not waver in the face of terror. Shecontinued to fight for the rights of girls around the world, and today, she stands as a symbol of hope and courage.Or think about the millions of Americans who have stood up for what they believe in, from the workers who organized for better wages and working conditions to the activists who fought for civil rights and equality. Their determination has changed our nation and the world for the better.But determination is not just an individual trait; it is a collective strength. It is the power we draw from one another when we stand together, united by a common purpose and a shared vision for the future.We see this power today in the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. The fight for Black lives, the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights, the battlefor voting rights—all these movements are powered by the determination of ordinary people who believe that change is possible and that their voices can make a difference.As we look to the future, we must remember that our destiny is not predetermined. It is not written in stone. It is shaped by our actions, our choices, and our determination. And it is up to each and every oneof us to decide what kind of future we want to build.We must continue to invest in education, so that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. We must continue to fight for economic justice, so that hard work is rewarded and prosperity is shared. We must continue to protect our planet, so that future generations can inherit a world that is sustainable and vibrant.And we must never lose sight of the fact that our strength lies not just in our government, but in our communities, our families, and ourselves.We must continue to lift each other up, to support each other, and to believe in the power of our collective humanity.In closing, I want to leave you with a few thoughts. First, rememberthat determination is a journey, not a destination. It is about the path we take, the obstacles we overcome, and the progress we make along the way.Second, remember that determination is not just about success. It is about the effort we put into our goals, even when we do not achieve them. It is about the courage to try again, to fail, and to learn from our mistakes.Finally, remember that determination is not a solo endeavor. It is about coming together, supporting one another, and believing that together, we can achieve anything.America, we are a nation of dreamers and doers. We are a nation of strivers and believers. We are a nation of people who, through the power of determination, have overcome adversity and built a future that is brighter than our past.So let us continue to dream big, to work hard, and to embrace the challenges of our time. Let us continue to show the world that Americais not just a place, but an idea—a powerful idea that anyone, anywhere can rise to any height through the power of determination.Thank you. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.。

英文原文:Ladies and Gentlemen,It is an honor to stand before you today and share a few thoughts on the power of dreams and the courage to pursue them. As you may know, I have had the privilege of serving as the President of the United States, and during my time in office, I have seen the incredible resilience and determination of the American people. But let me tell you, it all starts with a dream.Dreams are the fuel that powers our souls. They are the light that guides us through the darkest of times. And they are the reason why we rise above our challenges and achieve greatness. In the words of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "If you can dream it, you can do it."I remember growing up in a small town in Hawaii, the son of a white father and a black mother. My childhood was filled with dreams, big dreams. I dreamt of becoming a president, of making a difference in the lives of people, of uniting a nation that had been divided for far too long. But dreams alone are not enough. They require courage, perseverance, and hard work.When I first ran for the presidency, I was told that I was too young, too inexperienced, and that I didn't have what it takes to lead. But I didn't let that discourage me. Instead, I chose to embrace the challenge and work even harder. I believed in the power of dreams, and I knew that if I stayed true to my vision, I could make a difference.And so, I embarked on a journey that would change my life and the lives of millions of Americans. We faced obstacles and setbacks along the way, but we never lost sight of our dreams. We fought for healthcare reform, for equality, for justice, and for a more hopeful future. And little by little, we made progress.Today, I stand before you as a testament to the power of dreams and the courage to pursue them. I am not the same man who stood on that stage eight years ago. I have grown, I have learned, and I have beentransformed by the experiences of serving as the President of the United States.But let me remind you, my friends, that this journey does not end with me. It continues with you. Each and every one of you has the power to dream and the courage to pursue those dreams. Whether you aspire to be a doctor, a teacher, an engineer, or an artist, know that your dreams are valid, and they are within your reach.Here are a few lessons I have learned on this journey that I hope will inspire you:1. Believe in Yourself: The first step to pursuing your dreams is to believe in yourself. You are capable of achieving greatness, but you must first believe that you are worthy of it.2. Surround Yourself with Good People: Dreams are hard to achieve alone. Find mentors, friends, and family who will support you and help you along the way.3. Stay True to Your Values: Your dreams should align with your values. Stay true to who you are and what you stand for, and you will never go wrong.4. Be Persistent: Pursuing a dream is not an easy journey. There will be challenges and setbacks, but you must stay persistent. Remember why you started and keep pushing forward.5. Embrace Failure: Failure is not the end, it is a stepping stone. Learn from your mistakes, and use them as fuel to propel you forward.6. Dream Big: Don't settle for anything less than your best. Aim high, and you will be surprised by what you can achieve.7. Help Others: As you pursue your dreams, remember to help others along the way. Your success is not just about you; it is about making a positive impact on the world.Ladies and Gentlemen,The power of dreams and the courage to pursue them is a force that can change the world. It is the force that has driven us as a nation to overcome adversity, to innovate, and to lead. And it is the force that will continue to drive us forward, even as we face new challenges and opportunities.So, I urge you to dream big, to be courageous, and to never give up. Your dreams are not just for you; they are for your family, for your friends, for your community, and for the world. And when you pursue those dreams with all your heart, you will not only achieve success, but you will also inspire others to do the same.Thank you, and may the dreams you chase today lead you to a brighter tomorrow.中文翻译:女士们,先生们,今天能站在这里与大家分享关于梦想的力量以及追求梦想的勇气的思考,我感到非常荣幸。

Our path forward may not be easy, but together, we can overcome any obstacle and build a better future for generations to come.Overcoming Economic CrisisSince taking office, we have witnessed the devastating effects of the global economic crisis.

As a nation, we will take a leading role in combating climate change and transitioning to a clean energy economy.Investing in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power will not only reduce our carbon footprint but also create jobs and promote technological advancements. We will work towards international cooperation to address climate change, adhering to the principles of the Paris Agreement.Ensuring National SecurityIn an increasingly interconnected world, our national security is of paramount importance. We will continue to strengthen our military capabilities, defend against cyber threats, and enhance intelligence gathering to protect our citizens and safeguard our democracy.Furthermore, we must reaffirm our commitment to diplomacy, working with our allies and promoting peaceful resolutions to global conflicts.

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning. It is an honor to stand before you today and share some thoughts that have deeply resonated with me throughout my life. As you gather here, each of you carries a story, a journey, and a dream. And it is in the telling of these stories and the pursuit of these dreams that I find the greatest inspiration.I want to talk to you about the power of determination. Determination is not just about willpower; it is about resilience, it is about hope, and it is about the belief that each of us has the capacity to change our lives and the world around us.Let me take you back to a moment that shaped my own determination. It was the summer of 1991, and I was just a young community organizer in Chicago. I had spent months knocking on doors, listening to the stories of working families who were struggling to make ends meet. I had seen the hope in their eyes, and I had felt the weight of their dreams on my shoulders.It was in those moments that I realized the true power of community. I saw that when we come together, our collective strength can overcome even the most daunting challenges. But I also saw that individual determination was the spark that ignited that collective power.So, I made a promise to myself. I promised that I would fight for these families, that I would fight for a fairer America, and that I would never give up, no matter how difficult the road ahead might be.Fast forward to 2004, and I stood before you as a candidate for the United States Senate. I remember the words I spoke that day: "Hope is not blind optimism. It is not a passive resignation to the flow of events. Hope is the belief that we can make a difference."These words have guided me ever since. They remind us that hope is a powerful force, but it is not enough on its own. Hope must be accompanied by action, by determination, and by the courage to face our fears.In 2008, I stood before you as a candidate for the presidency. I spoke of a new dawn, a time when we would come together to tackle the great challenges of our time. I spoke of a country that would once again lead the world not just with our might, but with our moral courage.We were not just elected to serve; we were elected to lead. And lead we did. We faced economic turmoil, global conflict, and a host of other challenges. But through it all, we never lost sight of our goals. We never forgot the faces of the Americans who had sent us to Washington to make their lives better.We fought for healthcare reform because we believed that no one in America should go without the care they need. We fought for the Recovery Act because we knew that we had to put people back to work and get our economy moving again. We fought for climate change legislation because we understood that the future of our planet depends on our actions today.And in each of these battles, we saw the power of determination. We saw that when we stand together, we can achieve the impossible. We saw that when we are determined to make a difference, we can change the course of history.Now, as I stand before you today, I want to share some lessons I have learned along the way.First, determination requires resilience. Life will throw curveballs at you. You will face setbacks and obstacles that seem insurmountable. But if you are determined, you will find a way to rise above them. You will find the strength to keep going, even when others might give up.Second, determination requires hope. Hope is the fuel that keeps us going. It is the belief that, no matter how dark the night may seem, the dawn will come. It is the faith that, if we work together, we can make a difference.Third, determination requires action. It is not enough to have good intentions. We must take those intentions and turn them into action. We must roll up our sleeves and get to work. We must engage in the messybusiness of politics, of community organizing, of activism, because that is where change happens.Fourth, determination requires the courage to be different. Sometimes, the path you choose will not be the easy one. It will not be the paththat everyone else is taking. But if you are determined to make a difference, you must be willing to stand apart, to be different, and to lead the way.Ladies and Gentlemen, my friends, we live in a time of great uncertainty. The world is changing rapidly, and with change comes both opportunityand peril. But let us not be afraid. Let us not be daunted by the challenges that lie ahead. Let us be determined.Determined to fight for justice and equality. Determined to protect our planet for future generations. Determined to build a more perfect union, a more just and more peaceful world.Remember, determination is not just a word. It is a commitment. It is a promise to ourselves and to each other that we will never give up, no matter how hard the fight might be.So, let us go forth with courage and with hope. Let us go forth with determination. And let us make our mark on the world, because the future is ours to shape, and the power of determination is ours to wield.Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.。

奥巴马英文演讲稿IntroductionLadies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and fellow citizens, it is truly an honor to stand before you today. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts and vision for our great nation. As the President of the United States, I am committed to working tirelessly for the betterment of our society and the world at large.Achievements and ChallengesDuring my time in office, we have achieved significant milestones. We have made tremendous progress in the areas of healthcare reform, economic recovery, and technological advancements. However, we must acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead. Climate change, income inequality, and racial injustice continue to persist. It is our duty to address these issues head-on, with determination and compassion.Climate ChangeClimate change is not a distant problem; it is happening right now. Rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and the depletion of natural resources threaten the very fabric of our planet. We must take immediate action to combat this existential crisis. The Paris Agreement was a step in the right direction, but much more needs to be done. We need to invest in clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, and promote sustnable practices in every sector. Our children and future generations deserve a livable planet.Income InequalityThe gap between the rich and the poor has widened significantly over the years. This growing income inequality is not only morally wrong but also undermines the fabric of our society. We must work towards creating an economy that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. This means advocating for fr tax policies, rsing the minimum wage, and investing in affordable housing and education. It is only by uplifting the most vulnerable members of our society that we can truly thrive as a nation.Racial InjusticeAmerica is a diverse nation, built on the principles of equality and justice for all. However, racial injustice continues to persist in our society. Systemic racism, police brutality, and discriminatory practices have no place in our country. We must confront these issues with honesty and empathy. By reforming our criminal justice system, promoting diversity and inclusion, and fostering open dialogue, we can build a nation that lives up to its ideals.ConclusionIn conclusion, my fellow citizens, we face immense challenges, but we also have tremendous opportunities for progress and change. By harnessing the power of our collective voice and actively engaging in the democratic process, we can shape a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come. Let us remember that change does not happen overnight; it takes persistence, resilience, and unity. Together, we can build a stronger, frer, and more prosperous nation. Thank you, and may God bless the United States of America.。

It is an honor to be here today to address all of you. As the President of the United States, I am humbled by the opportunity to speak to such a diverse and distinguished audience. Today, I want to talk to you about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for our world, and the role that each and every one of us can play in shaping a better future.First and foremost, I want to emphasize the importance of unity and cooperation in addressing the pressing issues that face our planet. Whether it is climate change, poverty, or conflict, these are challenges that no single nation can tackle alone. It requires a collective effort, a shared commitment to finding solutions that benefit all of humanity. This is not a task for governments alone, but for individuals, businesses, and organizations to come together and work towards common goals.I firmly believe that education is the key to unlocking the potential of our future generations. By investing in education, we are investing in the future of our world. It is through education that we can empower young people to become leaders, innovators, and problem solvers. We must ensure that every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to quality education. This is not only a moral imperative, but also an economic necessity. A well-educated population is essential for driving economic growth and prosperity.In addition to education, we must also address the issue of inequality. The gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen, and this is not sustainable in the long run. We must strive to create a more equitable society, where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. This means creating more jobs, raising the minimum wage, and providing support for those who are struggling to make ends meet. It also means addressing systemic issues such as racial and gender discrimination, and working towards a more inclusive and just society for all.Finally, I want to stress the importance of diplomacy and dialogue in resolving conflicts. Too often, we resort to violence and warfare as a means of resolving disputes. However, history has shown us time and time again that this only leads to further suffering and destruction. We must be willing to engage in difficult conversations, to listen to each other's perspectives, and to find peaceful solutions to our differences. This requires courage, humility, and a willingness to put aside our own interests for the greater good.In conclusion, the challenges that lie ahead are great, but so too are the opportunities. By working together, by investing in education, by addressing inequality, and by embracing diplomacy, we can build a brighter future for all. It is my hope that each and every one of you will join me in this endeavor, and together, we can create a world that is more just, more prosperous, and more peaceful for generations to come.Thank you.。

奥巴马演讲稿英文Ladies and gentlemen, 。

It is a great honor for me to stand before you today and address the important issues facing our world. As we gather here, we are reminded of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and the crucial role that each of us plays in shaping the future.First and foremost, I want to emphasize the importance of unity and cooperation in addressing the pressing issues of our time. In a world that is increasingly interconnected, we must recognize that our fates are intertwined, and that only through working together can we hope to overcome the obstacles that stand in our way. Whether it is the threat of climate change, the scourge of poverty, or the specter of conflict, we must stand shoulder to shoulder in the pursuit of a better world for all.Furthermore, we must never lose sight of the power of hope and optimism. In the face of adversity, it can be easy to succumb to despair and cynicism. However, history has shown us time and again that it is those who dare to dream and strive for a better tomorrow who ultimately bring about positive change. We must be the bearers of hope, the champions of progress, and the architects of a brighter future for generations to come.In addition, we must be vigilant in defending the values that we hold dear. Whether it is the principles of democracy, the rights of individuals, or the dignity of all people, we must be unwavering in our commitment to upholding these ideals. In a world where these values are increasingly under threat, we must be resolute in our defense of them, and steadfast in our determination to see them triumph.Lastly, we must never forget the power of empathy and understanding. In a world that is often divided by differences of race, religion, and culture, it is all too easy to lose sight of our shared humanity. We must strive to see the world through the eyes of others, to walk in their shoes, and to understand their hopes and fears. Only through this kind of empathy can we hope to bridge the divides that separate us, and build a world that is truly inclusive and just.In conclusion, let us remember that the challenges we face are great, but the potential for progress is even greater. Let us stand together, with hope in our hearts and determination in our souls, and work towards a world that is more peaceful, more prosperous, and more just. Thank you.。

奥巴马就职演说全文(英文版)

奥巴马就职演说全文(英文版)奥巴马就职演说全文(英文版)奥巴马手按林肯当年用《圣经》宣誓就任美总统Barack Obama’s Inaugural AddressMy fellow citizens:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each daybrings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperityand freedom.。

奥巴马演讲 Filibustering RecoveryRemarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address The White House July 17, 2010This week, many of our largest corporations reported robust 1 earnings 2 – a positive sign of growth.But too many of our small business owners and those who aspire 3 to(渴求) start their own small businesses continue to struggle, in part because they can’t get the credit they need to start up, grow, and hire. And too many Americans whose livelihoods 4 (生计,生活) have fallen prey 5 tothe worst recession in our lifetimes – a recession that cost our economy eight million jobs –still wonder how they’ll make ends meet(收支相抵,量入为出) .That’s why we need to take new, commonsense 6 (常识的)steps to help small businesses, grow our economy, and create jobs – and we need to take them now.For months, that’s what we’ve been trying to do. But too often, the Republican leadership in the United States Senate chooses to filibuster 7 (掠夺,阻碍) our recovery and obstruct 8 our progress. And that has very realconsequences.Consider what that obstruction 9 means for our small businesses – the growth engines that create two of every three new jobs in this country. A lot of small businesses still have trouble getting the loans and capital(资金) they need to keep their doors open and hire new workers. So we proposed steps to get them that help: Eliminating capital gains taxes on investments. Establishing a fund for small lenders to help small businesses. Enhancing successful SBA programs that help them access the capital they need.But again and again, a partisan 10 (党派的) minority in the Senate said “no,” and used procedural tactics to block a simple, up-or-down vote.Think about what these stalling(失速,停转) tactics mean for the millions of Americans who’ve lost their jobs since the recession began. Over the past several weeks, more than two million of them have seen their unemployment insurance expire(期满,终止) . For many, it was the only way to make ends meet while searching for work – the only way to cover rent, utilities, even food.Three times, the Senate has tried to temporarily extend thatemergency assistance. And three times, a minority of Senators –basically the same crowd who said “no” to small businesses –said “no” to folks looking for work, and blocked a straight up-or-down vote.Some Republican leaders actually treat this unemployment insurance as if it’s a form of welfare. They say it discourages folks from looking for work. W ell, I’ve met a lot of folks looking for work these past few years, and I can tell you, I haven’t met any Americans who would rather have an unemployment check than a meaningful job that lets you provide for your family. And we all have friends, neighbors, or family members who already knows how hard it is to land a job when five workers are competing for every opening.Now in the past, Presidents and Congresses of both parties have treated unemployment insurance for what it is – an emergency expenditure 11 (支出,花费) . That’s because an economic disaster can devastate 12 (毁灭,毁坏)families and communities just as surely as a flood or tornado 13 .Suddenly, Republican leaders want to change that. They say we shouldn’t provide unemployment insurance because it costs money. So after years of championing policies thatturned a record surplus(剩余,盈余) into a massive deficit 14 , including a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, they’ve finally decided 15 to make their stand on the backs of the unemployed 16 . They’ve got no problem spending money on tax breaks for folks at the top who don’t need them and didn’t even ask for them; but they object to helping 17 folks laid off in this recession who really do need help. And every day this goes on, another 50,000 Americans lose that badly needed lifeline.Well, I think these Senators are wrong. We can’t afford to go back to the same misguided(被误导的) policies that led us into this mess. We need to move forward with the policies that are leading us out of this mess.The fact is, most economists 18 agree that extending unemployment insurance is one of the single most cost-effective ways to help jumpstart the economy. It puts money into the pockets of folks who not only need it most, but who also are most likely to spend it quickly. That boosts local economies. And that means jobs.Increasing loans to small business. Renewing unemployment insurance. These steps aren’t just the right thing to do for those hardest hit by the recession – the y’re the right thingto do for all of us. And I’m calling on Congress once moreto take these steps on behalf of America’s workers, and families, and small business owners – the people we were sent here to serve.Because when storms strike Main Street, we don’t play politics with emergency aid. We don’t desert(遗弃,放弃)our fellow Americans when they fall on hard times. We come together. We do what we can to help. We rebuild stronger, and we move forward. That’s what we’re doingtoday. And I’m absolutely convinced that’s how we’re going to come through this storm to better days ahead.Thanks.■文章重点单词注释:1robustadj.强壮的,强健的,粗野的,需要体力的,浓的参考例句:She is too tall and robust.她个子太高,身体太壮。
