奥巴马开学演讲稿子(中英文对照)

早晨偶然在报纸上看到了9月8日美国开学日的时候,奥巴马总统给全国从幼儿园到高中生做的一个开学演讲,非常感动.想把这个东西与大家分享一下,于是上网找到了中英文全文两个版本.我对照了一下,翻译得基本上做到了信、达、雅。

奥巴马总统讲演的风格很口语化,讲道理深入浅出,很有感染力.论坛里的朋友相信有很多都是已经为人父母了,我的孩子上周也进入小学一年级,踏上了漫长的求学之路.如何教育孩子,激励孩子,可能是每个家长最头痛的问题.我建议你亲自给你的孩子读一下这篇讲演,跟他(她)讨论一下,让孩子理解一下他(她)身上所承担的对自己,对国家的责任.发这个贴之前,踌躇再三,毕竟讲教育的主题跟股市大家谈的主旨有些不合,但我觉得从投资角度而言,教育上面花费的时间、精力,金钱的投资,不管是投向自己,还是孩子,都是我们一生中所能做出的最好的,永远都不会后悔的投资选择之一.毕竟,一个更好的未来,一个更强大的国家,一个更美,更和谐的世界愿景都要依靠我们的孩子们去实现.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。

奥巴马开学演讲稿(中英对照)按语:同学们,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 School Arlington, Virginia韦克菲尔德高中,弗吉尼亚州,阿林顿市,September 8,2009 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'SSCHOOLCHILDREN(原文题目:总统对学校孩子们的全国讲话)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。

美国总统奥巴马9月8日开学演讲稿Wakefield High SchoolArlington, VirginiaTHE PRESIDENT:Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. 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 keepup 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 science class. 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 youngpeople 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 you believe, 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 andsuccessful 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. . 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 again in 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 everynote 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 witheach 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.)End译文:弗吉尼亚州,阿林顿市,2009年9月8日嗨,大家好!谢谢你们!你们今天过得怎么样?我此刻和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一路,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,我很高兴你们能一路分享这一时刻。

奥巴马开学演讲稿中英文

奥巴马开学演讲稿中英文On September 8, 2009, former President Barack Obama delivered a back-to-school speech to students across America. The speech motivated students to work hard and set goals for themselves, emphasizing the importance of education and personal responsibility. The speech was well-received, although it was met with controversy by some critics who claimed it had political undertones.In his speech, Obama addressed the concerns of many American students who may have felt discouraged or disillusioned by the current economic and political climate. He emphasized the importance of education as a pathway towards success and encouraged students to take advantage of every opportunity to learn.Obama also acknowledged that hard work and dedication were necessary for success, stating that "nobody is born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work". He urged students to take responsibility for their own futures, advising them to set goals for themselves and take the necessary steps to achieve them.The speech was not without controversy. Some critics accused Obama of using the speech as a platform to promote his political agenda, rather than focusing on its intended purpose of motivatingstudents. However, the speech was ultimately well-received by educators and parents across America, who saw it as a positive message for children.One of the most notable aspects of Obama's speech was its bilingual delivery. The speech was delivered in both English and Spanish, allowing for a wider audience to understand its message. This bilingual approach was a reflection of Obama's commitment to promoting multiculturalism and inclusivity in America.Overall, Obama's back-to-school speech was a powerful message that inspired and motivated students across America. Its emphasis on education, hard work, and personal responsibility was a valuable lesson for young people to learn. Despite the controversy surrounding the speech, it remains a widely respected and admired speech by educators and students alike.。

早晨偶然在报纸上看到了9月8日美国开学日的时候,奥巴马总统给全国从幼儿园到高中生做的一个开学演讲,非常感动.想把这个东西与大家分享一下,于是上网找到了中英文全文两个版本.我对照了一下,翻译得基本上做到了信、达、雅。

奥巴马总统讲演的风格很口语化,讲道理深入浅出,很有感染力.论坛里的朋友相信有很多都是已经为人父母了,我的孩子上周也进入小学一年级,踏上了漫长的求学之路.如何教育孩子,激励孩子,可能是每个家长最头痛的问题.我建议你亲自给你的孩子读一下这篇讲演,跟他(她)讨论一下,让孩子理解一下他(她)身上所承担的对自己,对国家的责任.发这个贴之前,踌躇再三,毕竟讲教育的主题跟股市大家谈的主旨有些不合,但我觉得从投资角度而言,教育上面花费的时间、精力,金钱的投资,不管是投向自己,还是孩子,都是我们一生中所能做出的最好的,永远都不会后悔的投资选择之一.毕竟,一个更好的未来,一个更强大的国家,一个更美,更和谐的世界愿景都要依靠我们的孩子们去实现.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。

奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿

奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿第一篇:奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿1.2.3.4.5.6.7.Hello everyoneat 4:30 in the morning.Now I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.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 say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”So I know 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 a lot about responsibility.I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working where students aren't getting the opportunities they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the worldmaybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspapermaybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccineI 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 thosecareers.You can't drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to work for it and train 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.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, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do thatyou'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 that's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been.I did some things I'm not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was fortunate.I got a lot of secondchances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have much.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.16.17.18.19.20.21.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 lifethat's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.That's 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.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.Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either.But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longerto do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind, and he's headed to collegethis 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, she managed to get a job at a local health 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.Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They faced challenges in their lives just like you do.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.22.23.24.25.26.27.That's why today, I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your educationyou have to let them teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.If you get in trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave.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 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.It's the same with your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or 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 28.29.30.31.32.sign of strength.It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new.So find an adult you trustand ask them to help you stay on track to meet yourgoals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on youdon't let your family or your country or yourself down.Make us all proud.I know you can do it.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.第二篇:奥巴马_my_education_my_future_的英文演讲稿Good morning,I would like to extend a warm welcome to president Barak Obama, secretary of Education ,Ally Dunken,White House staff,school board members,county board members, super intendent Dr.Patrid Muffi, Senior staff, Principal Rudolph Jackson,Wakefield faculty,and of course, my fellow classmates.I am honored to have been chosen to speak before my classmates as well as students across America today.Over the past three years, I have taken the advantage of every academic, extracurricular and community opportunity that has been presented to me.As I the scholar wrinting glad the better,being assigned to another class was an option.I was determined to excel.Therefore,I managed to succeed with an advancing class And maintaining focus along As I stand before my I want you to know that maybe handed to us,but as students, we must take responsibility for our future.We must take the ownership about what we want to learn.As senior The opportunitities, I would not be standing here before you to introduce the president of the United States as I not hereJust we are fortune to have president Barak Obama T o speak to us.We are also fortune toAt this time, it is a great honor and pride to have everyone to stand to welcome the man who proved Yes,we dies and gentlemen ,please join me to welcome the president of the United States of America, Barak Obama.Hello everyoneand noneof 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.And 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 writerbut you might not know it until you write that English class paper that assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventorbut you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.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 lifeif you quit on schoolwhat you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at homehundreds of extra hoursand to 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 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 you believe, like I do, that all kids 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, I hope you'll all wash your handsa lot, and stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.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 the 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, when chances are, you're not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject you study.You won't click with every teacher.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's OK.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and 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 again in my life.And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures define youa parent, grandparent or teacher;a coach or counselordon'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 found this nation.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civilrights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask 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 twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country? 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, equipment and computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part too.So I expect 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 or your country or yourself down.Make us all proud.I know you can do it.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.第三篇:奥巴马英文演讲稿奥巴马英文演讲稿:签署金融改革法案THE PRESIDENT: Well, good morning, everyone.AUDIENCE: Good morning.THE PRESIDENT: We are gathered in the heart of our nation’s capital, surrounded by memorials to leaders and citizens who served our nation in its earliest days and in its days of greatest trial.Today is such a time for America.Over the past two years, we have faced the worst recession since the Great Depression.Eight million people lost their jobs.Tens of millions saw the value of their homes and retirement savings plummet.Countless businesses have been unable to get the loans they need and many have been forced to shut their doors.And although the economy is growing again, too many people arestill feeling the pain of the downturn.Now, while a number of factors led to such a severe recession, the primary cause was a breakdown in our financial system.It was a crisis born of a failure of responsibility from certain corners of Wall Street to the halls of power in Washington.For years, our financial sector was governed by antiquated and poorly enforced rules that allowed some to game the system and take risks that endangered the entire economy.Unscrupulous lenders locked consumers into complex loans with hidden costs.Firms like AIG placed massive, risky bets with borrowed money.And while the rules left abuse and excess unchecked, they also left taxpayers on the hook if a big bank or financial institution ever failed.Now, even before the crisis hit, I went to Wall Street and I called for common-sense reforms to protect consumers and our economy as a whole.And soon after taking office, I proposed a set of reforms to empower consumers and investors, to bring the shadowy deals that caused this crisis into the light of day, and to put a stop to taxpayer bailouts once and for all.(Applause.)Today, thanks to a lot of people in this room, those reforms will become the law of the land.For the last year, Chairmen Barney Frank and Chris Dodd have worked day and night--(applause)--Barney and Chris have worked day and night to bring about this reform.And I am profoundly grateful to them.I would be remiss if I didn't also express my appreciation to Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for their leadership.It wouldn’t have happened without them.(Applause.)Passing this bill was no easy task.To get there, we had to overcome the furious lobbying of an array of powerful interest groups and a partisan minority determined to block change.So the members who are here today, both on the stage and in the audience, they have done a great service indevoting so much time and expertise to this effort, to looking out for the public interests and not the special interests.(Applause.)And I also want to thank the three Republican senators who put partisanship aside--(applause)--judged this bill on t he merits, and voted for reform.We’re grateful to them.(Applause.)And the Republican House members.(Applause.)Good to see you, Joe.(Applause.)Now, let’s put this in perspective.The fact is, the financial industry is central to our nation’s ability to grow, to prosper, to compete and to innovate.There are a lot of banks that understand and fulfill this vital role, and there are a whole lot of bankers who want to do right--and do right--by their customers.This reform will help foster innovation, not hamper it.It is designed to make sure that everybody follows the same set of rules, so that firms compete on price and quality, not on tricks and not on traps.It demands accountability and responsibility from everyone.It provides certainty to everybody, from bankers to farmers to business owners to consumers.And unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you’ve got nothing to fear from reform.(Applause.)Now, for all those Americans who are wondering what Wall Street reform means for you, here’s what you can expect.If you’ve ever applied for a credit card, a student loan, or a mortgage, you know the feeling of signing your name to pages of barely understandable fine print.What often happens as a result is that many Americans are caught by hidden fees and penalties, or saddled with loans they can’t afford.That’s what happened to Robin Fox, hit with a massive rate increase on her credit card balance even though she paid her bills on time.That’s what happened to Andrew Giordano, who discovered hundreds of dollars in overdraft feeson his bank statement –-fees he had no idea he might face.Both are here today.Well, with this law, unfair rate hikes, like the one that hit Robin, will end for good.(Applause.)And we’ll ensure that people lik e Andrew aren’t unwittingly caught by overdraft fees when they sign up for a checking account.(Applause.)With this law, we’ll crack down on abusive practices in the mortgage industry.We’ll make sure that contracts are simpler-– putting an end to many hidden penalties and fees in complex mortgages-–so folks know what they’re signing.With this law, students who take out college loans will be provided clear and concise information about their obligations.And with this law, ordinary investors-– like seniors and folks saving for retirement –-will be able to receive more information about the costs and risks of mutual funds and other investment products, so that they can make better financial decisions as to what will work for them.So, all told, these reforms represent the strongest consumer financial protections in history.(Applause.)In history.And these protections will be enforced by a new consumer watchdog with just one job: looking out for people-–not big banks, not lenders, not investment houses-– looking out for people as they interact with the financial system.And that’s not just good for consumers;that’s good for the economy.Because reform will put a stop to a lot of the bad loans that fueled a debt-based bubble.And it will mean all companies will have to seek customers by offering better products, instead of more deceptive ones.Now, beyond the consumer protections I’ve outlined, reform will also rein in the abuse and excess that nearly brought down our financial system.It will finally bring transparency to the kinds of complex and risky transactions that helped trigger the financial crisis.Shareholders will also have a greater say on thepay of CEOs and other executives, so they can reward success instead of failure.And finally, because of this law, the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street’s mistakes.(Applause.)There will be no more tax-funded bailouts--period.(Applause.)If a large financial institution should ever fail, this reform gives us the ability to wind it down without endangering the broader economy.And there will be new rules to make clear that no firm is somehow protected because it is “too big to fail,” so we don’t have another AIG.That's what this reform will mean.Now, it doesn’t mean our work is over.For these new rules to be effective, regulators will have to be vigilant.We may need to make adjustments along the way as our financial system adapts to these new changes and changes around the globe.No law can force anybody to be responsible;it’s still incumben t on those on Wall Street to heed the lessons of this crisis in terms of how they conduct their businesses.The fact is every American-– from Main Street to Wall Street –-has a stake in our financial system.Wall Street banks and firms invest the capital that makes it possible for start-ups to sell new products.They provide loans to businesses to expand and to hire.They back mortgages for families purchasing a new home.That’s why we’ll all stand to gain from these reforms.We all win when investors around the world have confidence in our markets.We all win when shareholders have more power and more information.We all win when consumers are protected against abuse.And we all win when folks are rewarded based on how well they perform, not how well they evade accountability.In the end, our financial system only works –-our market is only free –-when there are clear rules and basic safeguards that prevent abuse, that check excess, that ensure that it is more profitable toplay by the rules than to game the system.An d that’s what these reforms are designed to achieve--no more, no less.Because that’s how we will ensure that our economy works for consumers, that it works for investors, that it works for financial institutions-– that it works for all of us.This is the central lesson not only of this crisis but of our history.Ultimately, there’s no dividing line between Main Street and Wall Street.We rise or fall together as one nation.So these reforms will help lift our economy and lead all of us to a stronger, more prosperous future.And that’s why I’m so honored to sign these reforms into law, and I’m so grateful to everybody who worked so hard to make this day possible.Thank you very much, everybody.(Applause.)(The bill is signed.)(Applause.)【相关中文报道】美国当地时间21日,美国金融监管进入新的时代。

奥巴马总统讲演的风格很口语化,讲道理深入浅出,很有感染力.论坛里的朋友相信有很多都是已经为人父母了,我的孩子上周也进入小学一年级,踏上了漫长的求学之路.如何教育孩子,激励孩子,可能是每个家长最头痛的问题.我建议你亲自给你的孩子读一下这篇讲演,跟他(她)讨论一下,让孩子理解一下他(她)身上所承担的对自己,对国家的责任.发这个贴之前,踌躇再三,毕竟讲教育的主题跟股市的主旨有些不合,但我觉得从投资角度而言,教育上面花费的时间、精力,金钱的投资,不管是投向自己,还是孩子,都是我们一生中所能做出的最好的,永远都不会后悔的投资选择之一.毕竟,一个更好的未来,一个更强大的国家,一个更美,更和谐的世界愿景都要依靠我们的孩子们去实现.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。

So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.因此,她决定从周一到周五亲自给我上课。

But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.不过因为还要上班,所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。

Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.你们可以想象,我很不情愿那么早起床。

And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.有很多次,我趴在餐桌上睡着了。

But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, Thisis no picnic for me either, buster. (Laughter)然而每当我抱怨的时候,我妈妈都会看我一眼,然后说:“小鬼,这对我也并不轻松。

”(笑声)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.我知道你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。

But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.但是我今天来到这里,是因为有重要的事情要跟你们说。

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.我要谈谈你们的教育以及新学年人们对你们的期望。

Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.我做过很多次有关教育的演讲。

And I've talked about responsibility a lot.也多次谈到过责任。

I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.我谈到过教师激励学生并督促他们学校的责任。

I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done,我谈到过父母的责任,确保儿女们走正路,完成家庭作业,and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.不要把大好时光都浪费在看电视或玩电子游戏上。

I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals,我还多次谈到过政府的责任制定高标准,支持教师和校长的工作,and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.彻底改善那些不能为学生提供应有教育机会的学校。

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers,然而归根结底,即使我们拥有最敬业的教师,the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world, and none of it will make a difference, 最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校,那也是毫无用处,none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities,那也是毫无意义,如果你们不履行你们的责任,unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers,不到校上课,不专心听见,unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.不听家长和其他大人的话,不付出取得成功所必须的努力。

That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.这就是我今天讲话的重点:你们要对自己的教育负责。

I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.我首先要讲讲你们对自己应尽的责任。

Every single one of you has something that you're good at.你们每个人都有自己的长处。

Every single one of you has something to offer.你们每个人都能做出自己的贡献。

And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.你们的责任是发现自己的能力所在。
