奥巴马开学演讲稿(中英对照)——我们为什么要上学?阿文弗吉尼亚州,阿林顿市,2009年9月8日嗨,大家好!你们今天过得怎么样?我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起,全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里,我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。
我知道,对你们中的许多人来说,今天是开学的第一天,你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中,对你们来说,这是在新学校的第一天,因此,假如你们感到有些紧张,那也是很正常的。
我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。
不过,我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级,许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假,以及今天不用那么早起床。
我可以理解这份心情。
小时候,我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年,而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书,因此她决定自己给我上课——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。
显然,我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来,很多时候,我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。
每当我埋怨的时候,我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说:“小鬼,你以为教你我就很轻松?”所以,我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应,但今天我站在这里,是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。
我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育,以及在新的学年里,你们应当做些什么。
我做过许多关于教育的讲话,也常常用到“责任”这个词。
我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们,督促你们学习。
我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业,不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。
我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作,改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。
但哪怕这一切都达到最好,哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校,假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话,那么这一切努力都会白费。
——除非你每天准时去上学、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力,否则这一切都会失去意义。

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

奥巴马的开学演讲稿为什么要上学奥巴马的开学演讲稿:为什么要上学?阿文弗吉尼亚州,阿林顿市,嗨,大家好!你们今天过得怎么样?我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起,全国各县市也有从幼儿园到高三的众多众多学生们通过电视关注这里,我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。
我知道,今天是你们很多人离校学期结束的日子。
对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生,今天是你们来到旧有学校的第一天,心里可能有点紧张,这是可以理解的。
我能想象有些学生现在感觉很不错——(掌声)——还有半年就毕业了。
不论在哪个年级,你们暑假有些人可能盼望暑假更长一点,今天早上还能多睡十多下午会儿。
我了解这种感觉。
我小时候,我们家生活在本土。
我在印度尼西亚住了十几年。
我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校,但她认为认为应当让我接受美式教育。
因此,她决定从周五周四到周五自己给我补课。
不过她还要上班,所以只能在清晨六点四点半给我上课。
你们可以想见,我不太情愿那么早清早。
有很多次,我趴在早餐就睡着了。
但每当我抱怨的时候,我妈妈都会那样地看我一眼,然后说:“小子,这对我也并不轻松。
”(笑声)我知道你们有些人还在适应开学期后其后的生活。
但我今天来到这里是因为有重要的事情要和你们说。
我来想想这里是要和你们谈谈你们的教育问题,以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的。
我做过很多次编出有关教育问题的演讲。
我多次谈到过责任缺陷。
我谈到过学生激励学生并督促他们学习的责任。
我谈到过家长的责任,要确保你们走正路,完成家庭作业,不要整天坐在电视前或玩Xbox游戏。
我多次谈到过政府的过失,要制定高标准,支持教师和校长的工作,彻底改善不能为学生提供应有机会提供贷款的、素质教育质量差的学校。
然而,即使我们拥有最敬业保有的教师,最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校——如果你们你们不履行你们的责任,不到校上课,不专心听讲,不听家长、祖父侄女和其他大人的话,不代价取得成功所必须的不能勤奋努力,那么这一切都毫无用处,都无关紧要。

You have to let them show you what to do differentlythe next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one’s born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song. You’ve got to practi ce. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don’t ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 yearsago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part, too. So I expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down. Don’t let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don’t let yourself down. Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you. (Applause.)。
奥巴马的开学演讲稿:为什么要上学?
奥巴马的开学演讲稿:为什么要上学?阿文弗吉尼亚州,阿林顿市,2009 年9 月8 日嗨,大家好!你们今天过得怎么样?我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起,全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里,我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。
我知道,今天是你们很多人开学的日子。
对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生,今天是你们来到新学校的第一天,心里可能有点紧张,这是可以理解的。
我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——(掌声)——还有一年就毕业了。
不论在哪个年级,你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点,今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。
我了解这种感觉。
我小时候,我们家生活在海外。
我在印度尼西亚住了几年。
我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校,但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。
因此,她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。
不过她还要上班,所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。
你们可以想见,我不太情愿那么早起床。
有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡着了。
但每当我抱怨的时候,我妈妈都会那样地看我一眼,然后说:“小子,这对我也并不轻松。
”(笑声)我知道你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。
但我今天来到这里是因为有重要的事情要和你们说。
我来这里是要和你们谈谈你们的教育问题,以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的期望。
我做过很多次有关教育问题的演讲。
我多次谈到过责任问题。
我谈到过教师激励学生并督促他们学习的责任。
我谈到过家长的责任,要确保你们走正路,完成家庭作业,不要整天坐在电视前或玩Xbox游戏。
我多次谈到过政府的责任,要制定高标准,支持教师和校长的工作,彻底改善不能为学生提供应有机会的、教育质量差的学校。
然而,即使我们拥有最敬业的教师,最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校——如果你们大家不履行你们的责任,不到校上课,不专心听讲,不听家长、祖父祖母和其他大人的话,不付出取得成功所必须的勤奋努力,那么这一切都毫无用处,都无关紧要。
这就是我今天讲话的重点:你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。
《我们为什么要上学》奥巴马开学演讲
奥巴马开学演讲中文译稿全文:嗨,大家好!你们今天过得怎么样?我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起,全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里,我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。
我知道,对你们中的许多人来说,今天是开学的第一天,你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中,对你们来说,这是在新学校的第一天,因此,假如你们感到有些紧张,那也是很正常的。
我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。
不过,我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级,许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假,以及今天不用那么早起床。
我可以理解这份心情。
小时候,我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年,而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书,因此她决定自己给我上课——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。
显然,我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来,很多时候,我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。
每当我埋怨的时候,我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说:“小鬼,你以为教你我就很轻松?”所以,我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应,但今天我站在这里,是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。
我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育,以及在新的学年里,你们应当做些什么。
我做过许多关于教育的讲话,也常常用到“责任”这个词。
我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们,督促你们学习。
我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业,不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。
我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作,改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。
但哪怕这一切都达到最好,哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校,假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话,那么这一切努力都会白费。
——除非你每天准时去上学、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力,否则这一切都会失去意义。
而这就是我今天讲话的主题:对于自己的教育,你们中每一个人的责任。

奥巴马我们为什么要上学
奥巴马我们为什么要上学奥巴马:我们为什么要上学随着时间的推移,教育已经成为全球发展的重要组成部分。
然而,对于许多人来说,为什么我们要上学仍然是个值得讨论的问题。
或许,奥巴马在接任美国总统期间所强调的教育重要性给我们带来了一些洞见。
教育是一种机会,它帮助人们获得智力和技能,为未来的职业发展奠定基础。
作为一个以知识经济为导向的时代,拥有高等教育和技能培训对于个人和社会的发展都至关重要。
奥巴马在担任总统期间一直关注教育,他认为通过投资教育,我们可以为下一代创造更好的未来。
他甚至提出了一个远大的目标,即让美国成为全球拥有最高大学毕业率的国家。
然而,在回答为什么我们要上学的问题时,我们不能简单地将焦点局限于职业发展和经济增长。
教育不仅仅是为了找到好工作和赚钱。
奥巴马坚信教育能够培养公民意识,以及塑造自信、负责任和积极参与社区活动的个人品格。
教育为个人提供了广泛的学习机会。
通过学习和获得知识,人们能够更好地理解世界、自我和他人。
奥巴马在接受采访时说过:“教育并不仅仅是学术上的知识,它也是大脑的训练,了解如何思考、如何阅读、如何提炼信息。
”他认为,教育是培养思考者和问题解决者的关键。
此外,教育也是培养创造力和想象力的渠道。
奥巴马在一次教育峰会上谈到了这一点,他说:“艺术和音乐在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。
它们能够帮助我们开阔思维,培养想象力和创造力。
”通过教育,人们可以探索不同的艺术形式,发展自己的才能,并找到自己的激情和兴趣。
另一个重要的原因是教育能够培养社交技能和建立人际关系。
在学校和大学里,人们可以结识来自不同背景和文化的人,并与他们建立联系和友谊。
通过与他人互动和合作,人们可以培养团队合作能力、沟通技巧和解决冲突的能力,这些技能在未来的职业和日常生活中都非常重要。
此外,教育有助于培养公民意识和社会责任感。
奥巴马曾说:“教育不仅仅是为了自己,也是为了我们的国家和社会。
”教育可以让人们更好地了解社会问题,培养关注社会公正和发展的意识,并激发人们为社会变革做出积极的贡献的愿望。

奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录
奥巴马演讲稿《我们为什么要上学》经典语录1、父母的责任是确保你做你该做的事,完成你的作业,而不是把所有空闲时间都用来看电视或玩xbox。
2、每个人都有擅长的事情,每个人都能贡献些什么。
所以你有责任发现自己的长处是什么,而学习就提供了这样一个发挥的机会。
3、也许你会是一个作家——能写书和在报纸上发表文章——但是如果你不完成英语课上布置给你的英语论文,你又怎么发现自己的才能?也许你会是一个发明家——可以设计出下一代iphone或是新*甚至是疫苗——但是如果你不完成自然课上的作业,你又怎能知道自己的潜能?也许你会成为市长,参议员或者最高法院大法官——但是如果你不参加学生会或辩论队,你又怎么了解自己的长处?4、不管你将走上怎样的道路,我敢保*你都需要接受教育。
5、你生活的环境,你的样子,你从哪里来,你有多少钱,你的家庭怎么样,这些都不能成为你不做功课和不好好上学的借口。
6、你现在的处境并不能决定你将来也是这样。
没人能决定你的命运,因为在美国,你要自己谱写自己的命运,你的将来由你自己创造。
7、不管你的目标是什么,我希望你们去做,去真正地付诸于行动。
8、成功是非常艰难的事。
你不可能喜欢所有的课程,你不可能和所有的老师合拍,不是所有的作业看起来都和你现在的生活息息相关,而且你不可能,也不必要在第一次尝试时,就获得成功。
9、一些最成功的人同时也是失败次数最多的人。
10、你不能被失败打倒,你必须从失败中学习,如何在下一次做出改变。
因此如果你陷入困境,那并不意味着你是倒霉蛋,那只说明你要加倍努力来走向成功。
如果你成绩不好,那并不代表你很笨,只说明你需要花更多的时间在学习上。
11、没有人生来就是天才,只有熟能生巧。
你不会在接触一项新运动时就进校队,你也不会在第一次唱歌时一点不走音,因此你需要练习。
这个道理同样适用于学习。
你也许要做好几遍才能答对一道数学题,你也许要读好几遍才能读懂一篇文章,你一定要打好几遍草稿才能完成一篇可以上交的论文。

[奥巴马我们为什么要上学]奥巴马开学演讲稿(中英对照)我们为什么要上学?(转载) 篇一: 奥巴马开学演讲稿我们为什么要上学?奥巴马开学演讲稿按语:我们为什么要上学?这个问题的答案可能五花八门。
有人说是为了以后更轻松的赚钱,有人说是为了有个更好的将来,有人说是为了摆脱现在的窘境,甚至有人说仅仅是为了将来有个饭碗,有个好家庭。
当然你也可以说是为了报效祖国!但是,我想还是有很多人对这个问题的理解还是很模糊的。
今天,我给大家推荐一个视频,是美国总统奥巴马在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿高中面向全美中小学生发表的电视开学演讲。
他用平实的语言向全美的学生讲述为什么要学习,经济窘迫、家庭问题、情感问题是否能成为与老师辩驳,消极学习的借口?他鼓励学生不畏逆境、发奋学习。
请不要放弃自己,放弃自己的责任!引人深思,看完后,希望能对你有所帮助!Wakefield High SchoolArlington,Virginia韦克菲尔德高中,弗吉尼亚州,阿林顿市,September8,2009 REMARKS BY THEPRESIDENTINANATIONALADDRESS TO AMERICA’S SCH OOLCHILDREN嗨,大家好!你们今天过得怎么样?我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起,全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里,我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。

奥巴马演讲为什么要上学演讲稿
奥巴马演讲为什么要上学演讲稿尊敬的各位老师、同学们:大家好!我今天很高兴能来到这里和大家交流。
作为前美国总统奥巴马,今天我想和大家分享一下为什么要上学的重要性。
首先,上学是为了获取知识。
知识是一种强大的武器,它能够开启我们求知的大门,帮助我们深入了解世界,提升自己。
通过接受系统的教育,我们可以学到各个领域的知识,从而能够更好地应对未来的挑战。
知识还能培养我们的思维能力,帮助我们理清思路,培养批判性思维和创新能力,使我们成为具备深度思考和解决问题能力的人才。
其次,上学是为了拓宽人脉。
在学校中,我们能够结交来自不同背景的同学和老师,扩大我们的社交圈子。
这些朋友和导师将成为我们未来发展的宝贵资源。
与他们相处、交流和学习,我们可以互相促进,互相成长。
通过参与各种社团和活动,我们还能培养我们的沟通能力、合作能力和领导能力,这些都是在未来的社会和职场中非常重要的素养。
再次,上学是为了开阔眼界。
通过上学,我们可以接触到各种各样的文化、思想和观点。
我们可以学习到不同国家、不同地区的传统、历史和人文知识,了解各种不同的价值观念和观念冲突。
这有助于我们更加全面地认识世界,培养宽容和包容的心态,并且能够更好地适应多元化的社会环境。
最后,上学是为了实现人生的目标。
通过上学,我们可以学到专业知识,为将来的职业发展打下坚实的基础。
不论是成为医生、工程师、律师、教师还是艺术家,都需要通过学习和训练来不断提高自己的专业能力。
上学也是为了发展个人的潜力,实现自己的人生价值。
学习让我们变得更有自信、更有决心,为我们的梦想努力奋斗。
上学是为了给我们提供更多的机会,让我们有更多的选择,去追求自己所热爱和感兴趣的事业。
总结来说,上学是一种宝贵的机会,是一种为未来做好准备的必要手段。
通过上学,我们可以获得知识、拓宽视野、结交朋友和实现人生目标。
因此,我鼓励大家要珍惜这个机会,努力学习,不断进取,为自己的未来铺就一条光明的道路。
谢谢大家!。

奥巴马开学演讲经典语句:我们为什么要上学
And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning。
不过,我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级,许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假,以及今天不用那么早起床。
And my mother,she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday。
But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning。
而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书,但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。
因此她决定从周一到周五自己给我上课。
不过因为她要上夜班,所以只能在凌晨4点半给我上课。
We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems。
If you don’t do that -- if you quit on school -- you’re not just quitting on yourself,you’re quitting on your country。
我们需要你们中的每一个人都培养和发展自己的天赋、技能和才
智,帮助老一辈人解决我们面临的最棘手的问题。
假如你不这么做——假如你放弃学习——那么你不仅放弃了自己,也放弃了你的国家。
But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have,what you’ve got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school。
That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school。
There is no excuse for not trying。
但归根结底,你的生活状况——你的长相、出身、经济条件、家庭氛围——都不是疏忽学业和态度恶劣的借口,这些不是你去跟老师顶嘴、逃课、或是辍学的借口,这些不是你不好好读书的借口。
Where yo u are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up。
No one’s written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny。
You make your own future。
That’s what young people like you are doing every day,all across America。
你的未来,并不取决于你现在的生活有多好或多坏。
没有人为你编排好你的命运,在美国,你的命运由你自己书写,你的未来由你自己掌握。
而在这片土地上的每个地方,千千万万和你一样的年轻人正是这样在书写着自己的命运。
That’s why today I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them。
Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework,paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book。
因此,在今天,我号召你们每一个人都为自己的教育定下一个目标——并在之后,尽自己的一切努力去实现它。
你的目标可以很简单,像是完成作业、认真听讲或每天阅读。
And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter。
当然,除此之外,我希望你们都多多洗手、感到身体不舒服的时候要多在家休息,免得大家在秋冬感冒高发季节都得流感。
But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it。
I want you to really work at it。
不管你决定做什么,我都希望你能坚持到底,希望你能真的下定决心。
I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star。
Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things。
我知道有些时候,电视上播放的节目会让你产生这样那样的错觉,似乎你不需要付出多大的努力就能腰缠万贯、功成名就——你会认为只要
会唱rap、会打篮球或参加个什么真人秀节目就能坐享其成。
但现实是,你几乎没有可能走上其中任何一条道路。
No one’s born being good at all thing s。
You become good at things through hard work。
You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport。
You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song。
You’ve got to practice。
没有哪一个人一生出来就擅长做什么事情的,只有努力才能培养出技能。
任何人都不是在第一次接触一项体育运动时就成为校队的代表,任何人都不是在第一次唱一首歌时就找准每一个音,一切都需要熟能生巧。
