尊敬的北大师生，大家好！我非常高兴能够来到这里，与你们分享我的一些想法和经历。
作为美国第一夫人，我有幸有机会见证和参与了许多重要的社会活动和国际事务，也有幸能够在各种场合发表讲话，与世界各地的人们交流。
今天，我想和你们谈谈一些关于教育、女性权益和社会责任的话题。
首先，我想强调的是教育的重要性。
教育是每个人成长的基石，也是社会进步的动力。
我相信，每个人都应该有平等接受教育的权利，不论是男性还是女性，不论是贫穷还是富裕。
教育可以改变命运，可以让人们拥有更多的选择和机会。
因此，我们应该努力营造一个公平、包容的教育环境，让每个人都能够实现自己的梦想。
其次，我想谈谈女性权益。
作为一个女性，我深知女性在社会中所面临的各种困难和挑战。
在很多地方，女性依然面临着教育不公、职业歧视、家庭暴力等问题。
我们需要为女性争取平等的权利和机会，让她们能够在社会各个领域发挥自己的才能和价值。
同时，我们也需要改变社会对女性的刻板印象和偏见，让每个女性都能够自由地选择自己的生活方式和追求幸福。
最后，我想谈谈社会责任。
作为一个公众人物，我深知自己肩负着一定的社会责任。
我认为，每个人都应该为社会做出一些贡献，无论是大是小。
无论是通过自己的行为和言论，还是通过参与公益活动和慈善事业，每个人都可以为社会的进步和发展贡献自己的力量。
只有当每个人都肩负起自己的社会责任，我们才能共同创造一个更加美好的世界。
在结束我的演讲之前，我想再次感谢北大师生对我的热情接待，也希望大家能够牢记我所说的话。
教育、女性权益和社会责任，这些都是我们共同的责任和使命。
让我们携手努力，共同创造一个更加美好、更加公平的世界！谢谢大家！。

米歇尔在北大的演讲（中英文）
米歇尔在北大的演讲（中英文）Remarks by the US First Lady at Peking UniversityNi hao. It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university…thank you so much for having me.And before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words above Malaysian (sic) Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.And with that, I want to start by recognizing our news Ambassador to China, Ambassador Bau cus…President Wang…Chairman Zhu…Vice President Li...Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the StanfordC enter…President Sexton from New York University which has an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai…and John Thor nton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University…thank you all so much for joining us.And most of all, I want to thank all of the students for being here today…and I particular ly want to thank Eric Schafer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was such a powerful symbol of everything I want to talk with you about today.You see, by learning each other s languages -- and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other s cultures -- Mr. Schafer and Ms. Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among your people like you across the globe.That s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don't just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders…they’re about relationships between people, particularly our young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity f or students…but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross ocean with the click of a button.Companies can do business and complete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email and skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester—it’s quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school…it’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders -- experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: ―It is better to travel tenthousand miles than to read ten thousand books.‖But let’s be clear, studying abroad is ab out so much more than improving your own future –it’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time -- whether it’s climate change, or economic opportunity, or t he spread of nuclear weapons...these are shared challenges.No one country can confront them alone...the only way forward is together.That s why it’s so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s countries.Because that’s how yo u develop that habit of cooperation -- you do it by immersing yourself in someone else’s cultur e…by learning each other’s stories…and by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.That’s how you come to understand how much w e all share.And that’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s success -- that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives inAmerica…th at clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment he re in China…that the architecture of an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.And that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.That s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.She and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals…and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was Fulbright Scholar in the U.S. last year…and he reported, and I quote, ―the most memorable experiences were with my American friends.‖These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad…and I am thrilled tha t more and more students are getting this opportunity.China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad.And today, the highest number of exchange students in the U.S. are from China.But still, too many students never ha ve this chance…and some that do are hesitant to take it.They may feel like study abroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds of universities.Or they may think to themselves: ―Well, that sounds fun, but how will it really be useful in my life?‖I understand where these young people are coming from, because I felt the same way back when I was in college.You see, I came from a working class family… and it never even occurred to me to study abroad.My parents didn’t get to attend coll ege, and I was focused on getting into a university and earning my degree so I could get a job and support myself.And for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school paying for plane tickets or living expenses h alfway around the world just isn’t possible.And that s not acceptable, because study abroad shou ldn’t just be for students from certain backgrounds.Our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds because it is that diversity thatmakes our country so vibrant and strong…and our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of America to the world.That s why, when my husband visited China back in 2009, he announced our 100,000 Strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in China.And this year, as we mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the normaliztaion of relations between our countries…the U.S. Government actually supports more American students in China than in any other country in the world.We re sending high school, college and graduate students here to study Chinese…we re inviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American schools...we re providing free online advising for students in China who want to study in the U.S…and the U.S.-China Fulbright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.The private sector is stepping up as well.For example, Steve Schwarzman, the head of an American company called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.And today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in China.Take the example of Royale Nicholson from Cleveland, Ohio who attends New York University’s program in Shanghai.Like me, Royale is a first generation college student…and her mother worked two fulltime jobs while her father worked nights to support their family.Of her experience in Shanghai, she said, ―This city oozes persistence and inspires me to accomplish all that I can.‖And then there’s Philmon Haile from the University of Washington whose family came to the U.S. as refugee fromEritrea when he was a child.Of his experience studying in China, he said, ―Study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.‖―A new era of citizen diplomacy ‖-- I couldn’t hav e said it better myself, because that’s really what I’m talking about...I m talking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back in America, you don t need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.I tell them that if you have an internet in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.That’s why I’m posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences in China -- because I want young people in America to be part of this visit.That’s really the power of technology -- how it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And that’s why it is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media.Because tha t’s how we discover the truth...that s how we learn what s really happening in our communities, our country and our world.And that’s how we decide which values and ideas we think are best -- by questioning and debating them vigorously…by listening to all sides of every argument...and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty ofquestioning and criticizing from our media and our fellow citizens...and it s not always easy...but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies.But when it comes to expressing yourself freely, and worshipping as you choose, and having open access to information -- we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in the United States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values.So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, you re not just changing your own life…you re changing the live s of everyone you meet.As the great American President John F. Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the U.S., ―I think they teach more t han they learn.‖And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.All of you are America s best face, and China s best face, to the world.Every day, you show the world your countries’ energy, creativity, optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you remind us of just how much we canachieve if we reach across borders…and learn to see ourselves in each other…and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you all will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope you’ll keep teaching each other…and learning from each other…and building bonds of friendsh ip that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.Thank you so much.

米歇尔演讲全文5篇
米歇尔演讲全文5篇第一篇：米歇尔演讲First Lady Michelle Obama:Thank you so much, Elaine…we are so grateful for your family’s service and sacrifice…and we will always have your back.Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country.And everywhere I’ve gone, in the people I’ve met, and the stories I’ve heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit.I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls.I’ve seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay.I’ve seen it in people who become heroes at a moment’s notice, diving into harm’s way to save others…flying across the country to put out a fire…driving for hours to bail out a flooded town.And I’ve seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families…in wounded warriors who tell me they’re not just going to w alk again, they’re going to run, and they’re going to run marathons…in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, “…I’d give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.”Every day, the pe ople I meet inspire me…every day, they make me proud…every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege…but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we’d begun.While I believed deeply in my husband’s vision for this country…and I was certain he would make anextraordinary President…like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance.How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight? How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they’d ever known?Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys…Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma’s house…and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn’t stay awake for both.And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls…I deeply loved the man I had built that life with…and I didn’t want that to change if he became President.I loved Barack just the way he was.You see, even though back then Barack was Senator and a presidential candidate…to me, he was still the guy who’d picked me up for our da tes in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door…he was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he’d found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.But when Barack started telling me about his family that’s when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like mine.You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn’t have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves.My father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when my brother and I were young.And even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain…I knew there wereplenty of mornings when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of bed.But every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his uniform.And when he returned home after a long day’s work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him…watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our arms.But despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work…he and my mom were determi ned to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream of.And when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants.But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself.And every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell short.He was so proud to be sending his kids to college…and he made sure we never missed a registration deadline because his check was late.You see, for my dad, that’s what it meant to be a man.Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in life being able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family.And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he’d grown up a ll the way across the country, he’d been brought up just like me.Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay the bills, and by grandparents who stepped in when she needed help.Barack’s grandmother started out as a secretary at a community ban k…and she moved quickly up the ranks…but like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling.And for years, men no more qualified than she was men she had actually trained were promoted up the ladder ahead of her, earning more and moremoney while Barack’s family continued to scrape by.But day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus…arriving at work before anyone else…giving her best without complaint or regret.And she would often tell Barack, “So long as you kids do well, Bar, that’s all that really matters.” Like so many American families, our families weren’t asking for much.They didn’t begrudge anyone else’s success or care that others had much more than they did…in fact, they admired it.They simply believed in that fundamental American promise that, even if you don’t start out with much, if you work hard and do what you’re supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids and grandkids.That’s how they raised us…that’s what we learned from their example.We learned about dignity and decency that how hard you work matters more than how much you make…that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.We learned about honesty and integrity that the truth matters…that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules…and success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square.We learned about gratitude and humility that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kep t our school clean…and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.Those are the values Barack and I and so many of you are trying to pass on to our own children.That’s who we are.And standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn’t want any of that to change if Barack became President.Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being presidentdoesn’t cha nge who you are it reveals who you are.You see, I’ve gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks like.And I’ve seen how the issues that come across a President’s desk are always the hard ones the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer…the judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for error.And as President, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people.But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are.So when it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother.He’s t hinking about the pride that comes from a hard day’s work.That’s why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women get equal pay for equal work.That’s why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its feet.That’s how he brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right here in the United States of America.When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president.He didn’t care whether it was the easy thing to do politically that’s not how he was raised he cared that it was the right thing to do.He did it because he believes that here in America, our grandparents should be able to afford their medicine…our kids should be able to see a doctor when they’re sick…and no one in this country should ever go broke because of an accident or illness.And he believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies andour health care…that’s what my husband stands for.When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could’ve attended college without financial aid.And believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage.We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.That’s why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren’t political they’re personal.Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles.He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it…and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where w e’re from, or what we look like, or who we love.And he believes that when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity…you do not slam it shut behind you…you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those yea rs ago.He’s the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work…because for Barack, success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.He’s thesame man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew.That’s the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships.That’s the man I see in those quiet mom ents late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent him.The letter from the father struggling to pay his bills…from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won’t cover her care…from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities.I see the concern in his eyes…and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, “You won’t believe what these folks are going through, Michelle…it’s not right.We’ve got to keep working to fix this.We’ve got so much more to do.”I see how those stories our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams I see how that’s what drives Barack Obama every single day.And I didn’t think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago…even more th an I did 23 years ago, when we first met.I love that he’s never forgotten how he started.I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do, even when it’s hard especially when it’s hard.I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them” he doesn’t care whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above…he knows that we all love our country…and he’s always ready to listen to good ideas…he’s always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we’re all sweating it when we’re worried that the bill won’tpass, and it seems like all is lost Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise.Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and mov ing forward…with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.And he reminds me that we are playing a long game here…and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once.But eventually we get there, we always do.We get there because of folks like my Dad…folks like Barack’s grandmother…men and women who said to themselves, “I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will…maybe my grandchildren will.”So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love…because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard.So today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming or even impossible let us never forget that doing the impossible is the his tory of this nation…it’s who we are as Americans…it’s how this country was built.And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us…if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button…then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids.And if so many brave men and women could wear our country’s uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental rights…then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights…surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election Day.If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire…if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores…if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote…if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time…if ayoung preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream…and if proud America ns can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love…then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.Because in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle.That is what has made my story, and Barack’s story, and so many other American stories possible.And I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady…and not just as a wife.You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still “mom-in-chief.” My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world.But today, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing what’s best for our girls.Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters…if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise…if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you’re willing to work for it…then we must work like never before…and we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward…my husband, our President, President Barack Obama.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.第二篇：米歇尔北大演讲MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thank you.Well, ni-hao.(Laughter.)It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.Now, before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I justwant to say a few very brief words about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.But most of all, I want to thank all of the students who are here today.And I particularly want to thank Eric Schaefer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was a powerful symbol of everything that I want to talk with you about today.See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, Mr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our futu re depends on connections like these among young people like you acrossthe globe.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between nations aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders--they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students, but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a panies can do business and compete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email, Skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester;it is quickly becoming the key to success in our globaleconomy.Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important.It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders –-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: ―It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.第三篇：米歇尔的演讲Transcript: Michelle Obama's Convention SpeechSeptember 4,2012Thank you so much, Elaine...we are so grateful for your family's service and sacrifice...and we will always

PBS NewsHour/YouTubeFirst lady Michelle Obama addresses the DNC after being introduced by military mom Elaine Brye, from PBS NewsHour.How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they'd ever known?Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys...Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house...and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both.And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls (I)deeply loved the man I had built that life with...and I didn't want that to change if he became President.I loved Barack just the way he was.You see, even though back then Barack was a Senator and a presidential candidate...to me, he was still the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door...he was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.But when Barack started telling me about his family – that's when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were somuch like mine.You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable –their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves.My father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when my brother and I were young.And even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain...I knew there were plenty of mornings when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of bed.But every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his uniform.And when he returned home after a long day's work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him...watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our arms.But despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work...he and my mom were determined to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream of.And when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants.But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself.And every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell short.He was so proud to be sending his kids to college...and he made sure we never missed a registration deadline because his check was late.You see, for my dad, that's what it meant to be a man.Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in life – being able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family.And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even thoughhe'd grown up all the way across the country, he'd been brought up just like me.Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay the bills, and by grandparents who stepped in when she needed help.Barack's grandmother started out as a secretary at a community bank...and she moved quickly up the ranks...but like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling.And for years, men no more qualified than she was –men she had actually trained –were promoted up the ladder ahead of her, earning more and more money while Barack's family continued to scrape by.But day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus...arriving at work before anyone else...giving her best without complaint or regret.And she would often tell Barack, “So long as you kids do well, Bar, that's all that really matters.”Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much.They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did...in fact, they admired it.They simply believed in that fundamental American promise that, even if you don't start out with much, if you work hard and do what you're supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids and grandkids.That's how they raised us...that's what we learned from their example.We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make...that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters...that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules...and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean...and we were taught to valueeveryone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.Those are the values Barack and I – and so many of you – are trying to pass on to our own children.That's who we are.And standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn't want any of that to change if Barack became President.Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are – it reveals who you are.You see, I've gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks like.And I've seen how the issues that come across a President's desk are always the hard ones – the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer...the judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for error.And as President, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people.But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are.So when it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother.He's thinking about the pride that comes from a hard day's work.That's why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women get equal pay for equal work.That's why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its feet.That's how he brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again – jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right here in the United States of America.When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president.He didn't care whether it was the easy thing todo politically – that's not how he was raised – he cared that it was the right thing to do.He did it because he believes that here in America, our grandparents should be able to afford their medicine...our kids should be able to see a doctor when they're sick...and no one in this country should ever go broke because of an accident or illness.And he believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care...that's what my husband stands for.When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could've attended college without financial aid.And believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage.We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political –they're personal.Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles.He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack。

米歇尔在北大的演讲(中英文)
Remarks by the US First Lady at Peking UniversityNi hao. It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university…thank you so much for having me.And before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words above Malaysian (sic) Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.And with that, I want to start by recognizing our news Ambassador to China, Ambassador Baucus…President Wang…Chairman Zhu…Vice President Li...Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the Stanford C enter…President Sexton from New York University which has an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai…and John Thorn ton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University…thank you all so much for joining us.And most of all, I want to thank all of the students for being here today…and I particularly want to thank Eric Schafer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was such a powerful symbol of everything I want to talk with you about today.You see, by learning each other s languages -- and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other s cultures -- Mr. Schafer and Ms. Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among your people like you across the globe.That s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don't just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations are n’t just about relationships between governments or leaders…they’re about relationships between people, particularly our young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students…but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross ocean with the click of a button.Companies can do business and complete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email and skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester—it’s quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school…it’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders -- experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”But let’s be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future – it’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time -- whether it’s climate change, or economic opportunity, or the spread of nuclear weapons...these are shared challenges.No one country can confront them alone...the only way forward is together.That s why it’s so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s countries.Because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation -- you do it by immersing yourself in someone else’s cultur e…by learning each other’s stories…and by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.That’s how you come to understand how much we all share.And that’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s success -- that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in America…th at clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in China…that the architecture of an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.And that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.That s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.She and her colleagu es published papers together in top science journals…and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was Fulbright Scholar in the U.S. last year…and he reported, and I quote, “the most memorable experience s were with my American friends.”These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad…and I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad.And today, the highest number of exchange students in the U.S. are from China.But still, too many students never have this chance…and some that do are hesitant to take it.They may feel like study abroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds of universities.Or they may think to themselves: “Well, that sounds fun, but how will it really be useful in my life?”I understand where these young people are coming from, because I felt the same way back when I was in college.You see, I came from a working class family… and it never even occurred to me to study abroad.My parents didn’t get to attend college, and I was focused on getting into a university and earning my degree so I could get a job and support myself.And for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfway around the world just isn’t possible.And that s not acceptable, because study abroad shou ldn’t just be for students from certain backgrounds.Our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds because it is that diversity that makes our country so vibrant and strong…and our study abroad programs should r eflect the true spirit of America to the world.That s why, when my husband visited China back in 2009, he announced our 100,000 Strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in China.And this year, as we mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the normaliztaion of relations between our countries…the U.S. Government actually supports more American students in China than in any other country in the world.We re sending high school, college and graduate students here to st udy Chinese…we re inviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American schools...we re providing free online advising for students in China who want to study in the U.S…and the U.S.-China Fulbright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.The private sector is stepping up as well.For example, Steve Schwarzman, the head of an American company called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.And today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in China.Take the example of Royale Nicholson from Cleveland, Ohio who attends New York University’s program in Shanghai.Like me, Royale is a first generation college student…and her mother worked two fulltime jobs while her father worked nights to support their family.Of her experience in Shanghai, she said, “This city oozes persistence and inspires me to accomplish all that I can.”And then there’s Philmon Haile from the University of Washington whose family came to the U.S. as refugee from Eritrea when he was a child.Of his experience studying in China, he said, “Study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.”“A new era of citizen diplomacy ”-- I couldn’t hav e said it better myself, because that’s really what I’m talking about...I m talking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back in America, you don t need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.I tell them that if you have an internet in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.That’s why I’m posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences in China -- because I want young people in America to be part of this visit.That’s really the power of technology -- how it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And that’s why it is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media.Because tha t’s how we discover the truth...that s how we learn what s really happening in our communities, our country and our world.And that’s how we decide which values and ideas we think are best -- by questioning and debating them vigorously…by listening to all sides of every argument...and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticizing from our media and our fellow citizens...and it s not always easy...but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies.But when it comes to expressing yourself freely, and worshipping as you choose, and having open access to information -- we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in the United States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values.So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, you re not just changing your own life…you re changing the live s of everyone you meet.As the great American President John F. Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the U.S., “I think they teach more than they learn.”And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.All of you are America s best face, and China s best face, to the world.Every day, you show the world your countries’energy, creativity, optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you remind us of just how much we can achieve if we reach across borders…and learn to see ourselves in each other…and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you all will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope you’ll keep teaching each other…and learning from each other…and building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.Thank you so much.

米歇尔北大演讲稿英文Ladies and gentlemen, 。
It is truly an honor for me to stand here today at Peking University and have the opportunity to share my thoughts with all of you. As an advocate for education and a firm believer in the power of knowledge, I am deeply humbled to be in the presence of such bright and promising minds.Education has always been a fundamental pillar of society, and it is through education that we can pave the way for a better future. The pursuit of knowledge knows no boundaries, and it is through platforms like this that we can come together to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, and ultimately, drive positive change in the world.As we stand here today, at the cusp of a new era, it is imperative that we recognize the importance of global cooperation and understanding. The world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and it is through dialogue and collaboration that we can address the challenges that lie ahead. Whether it is climate change, economic inequality, or social injustice, these are issues that require a collective effort to overcome.In the words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Each and every one of us has a role to play in shaping the future, and it is through our actions and our choices that we can make a meaningful impact. It is my hope that each of you will leave here today with a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to be a force for good in the world.As we look ahead, let us not be daunted by the challenges that lie ahead, but rather, let us be inspired by the possibilities. Let us embrace diversity, foster inclusivity, and strive for excellence in all that we do. The road ahead may be long and arduous, but it is through our collective efforts that we can build a brighter and more prosperous future for generations to come.In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Peking University for hosting me today, and to all of you for your unwavering commitment to learning and growth. It isthrough forums like this that we can sow the seeds of change, and I am confident that the future is in capable hands. Thank you.。

米歇尔北大演讲全英（五篇模版）
米歇尔北大演讲全英（五篇模版）第一篇：米歇尔北大演讲全英Michelle Obama’s Speech at Peking UniversityMRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thank you.Well, ni-hao.(Laughter.)It is such a pleasure and an _____________ to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.Now, before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very __________ words about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many _______ as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this _______ in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.Now with that, I want to start by _________ our new Ambassador to China, Ambassador Baucus.President Wang;Chairman Zhu;Vice President Li;Director Cueller;Professor Oi, and the Stanford Center;President Sexton from New York University, which is an excellent study ___________ program in Shanghai;and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University.Thank you all for joining us.But most of all, I want to thank all of the students who are here today.And I _______________want to thank Eric Schaefer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was a powerful _____________ of everything that I want to talk with you about today.See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and _______________ for each othe r’s cultures, Mr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our future ____________ ____________ connections like these among youngpeople like you across th e globe.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between nations are n’t just about relationships between governments or leaders--they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational ____________ for students, but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more ____________ than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the ___________ of a panies can do business1 and ______________ _____________ companies across the globe.And we can text, email, Skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester;it is quickly becoming the key to success in our global ______________.Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting goo d grades or test scores in school, which are important.It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders –-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, _________ __________ Chinese _______ _______: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”But let’s be clear, studying _________ is about so much more than improving your own future.It’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because _________ __________ ___________ _________ the defining challenges of our time-–whether it’s climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weapons--these are shared challenges.And no one country can confront them alone.The onlyw ay forward is together.That’s why it is so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s countries, because that’s how you develop that______________ of cooperation.You do it by immersing yourself in one another’s culture, by learni ng each other’s stories, by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often ______________ us.That’s how you come to understand how much we all share.That’s how you___________ that we all have a stake in each other’s success--that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in America, that clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in China, that the _______________ of an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.And that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.That’s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.She and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals, and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.And Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was a FulbrightScholarship--Scholar in the st year, and he reported--and this is a quote from him--he said, “The most memorable experiences were with my American friends.”These lasting bonds _____________ the true value of studying abroad.And I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.As you’ve heard, China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad, and today, the highest number of _______________ students in the U.S.are from China.But still, too many students never have thischance, and some that do are hesitant to take it.They may feel like studying abroad is only for _______________ students or students from certain kinds of universities.Or they may think to themselves, well, that sounds fun but how will it be useful in my life? And believe me, I understand where these young people are coming from because I felt the same way back when I was in college.See, I came from a working-class family, and it never ______________ _________ me to study abroad--never.My parents didn’t get a chance to _____________ c ollege, so I was focused on getting into a university, earning my degree so that I could get a good job to support myself and help my family.And I know for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to ______________ a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living ______________ halfway around the world just isn’t possible.And that’s not ______________, because study abroad shouldn’t just be for students from certain backgrounds.Our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that truly will change the face of our relationships.So we believe that diversity makes our country vibrant and strong.And our study abroad programs should _____________ the true spirit of America to the world.And that’s why when my husband visited China back in 2009, he ____________ the100,000 Strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in China.And this year, as we ______________ the 35th anniversary of the normalization of relationships between our two countries, the ernment ______________supports more American students in China than in any other country in the world.We are sending high school, college and graduate students here to study Chine se.We’reinviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American schools.We’re _____________ free online advising for students in China who want to study in the U.S.And the U.S.-China Fulbright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.And the private sector is stepping up___________ ____________.For example, Steve Schwarzman, who is the head of an American company called Blackstone, is funding a newprogram at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.And today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in China._________ ___________ ___________ of Royale Nicholson, who’s from Cleveland, Ohio.She attends New York University’s program in Shanghai.Now, like me, Royale is a first-generation college student.And her mother worked two full-time jobs while her father worked nights to support their family.And of her experience in Shanghai, Royale said--and this is her quote--she said, “This city oozes persistence and inspires me to accomplish all that I can.” And happy b irthday, Royale.It was her birthday yesterday.(Laughter.)And then there’s Philmon Haile from the University of Washington, whose family came to the U.S.as refugees from Eritrea when he was a child.And of his experience studying in China, he said, “Study a broad is a _______________ vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.”“A new era of citizen diplomacy.” I could not have said it better myself, because that’s really what I’m talking about.I am talking about ____________citizens reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back in America, you don’t need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.I tell them that if you have an Internet connection in your home, school, or library,within seconds you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.And that’s why I’m posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences here in China, because I want young people in America to be part of this visit.And that’s r eally the power of ____________ –-how it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And that’s why it’s so important for _____________ and ideas to flow freely over the Internet and through the media, b ecause that’s how we discover the truth.That’s how we learn what’s really happening in our communities and our country and our world.And that’s how we decide which values and ideas we think are best –-by questioning and debating them vigorously, by listening to all sides of an argument, and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know how this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens.And it’s not always easy, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices of and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies, but when it comes to _______________ yourself freely and worshipping as you choose and having open _____________ to information, we believe those universal rights--they are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in the United States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you arethe living, breathing embodiment of those values.So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, you’re not just changing your own life, you are changing the lives of everyone you meet.And as the great American President John F.Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the U.S., he said “I think they teach more than they learn.” And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.All of you are America’s best face, and China’s best face, to th e world--you truly are.Every day, you show the world your countries’ ______________ and creativity and optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you ___________ us--and me in particular--of just how much we can ___________ if we reach across borders, and learn to see ourselves in each other, and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you all will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope you’ll keep teaching each other, and learning from each other, and building bonds of friendship that will __________ your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.You all have so much to ___________, and I cannot wait to see all that you achievetogether in the years ahead.Thank you so much.Xie-Xie.(Applause.)第二篇：米歇尔北大演讲MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thank you.Well, ni-hao.(Laughter.)It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you

谢谢。你好。很高兴也很荣幸来到这里，在这所伟大的大学和你们共聚一堂。非常感谢你们邀请我。
Now, before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search. And please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
通过现代技术奇迹，我们的世界比以往任何时候都更多地联系在一起。思想可以通过点击按钮跨越海洋。全球各地的公司可以进行业务往来和相互竟争。我们可以与各大洲的人们通过短信、电子邮件和Skype进行沟通。
So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders –- experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own. Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”
在我今天开始之前，代表我自己和我的丈夫，我想就马来西亚航空公司的MH370航班简短说两句。如我丈夫所说，美国正提供尽可能多的资源协助搜寻工作。请相信，在这个非常艰难的时刻，我们的心和航班上人员的家属和亲人在一起，我们为他们祈祷。
Now with that, I want to start by recognizing our new Ambassador to China, Ambassador Baucus. President Wang; Chairman Zhu; Vice President Li; Director Cueller; Professor Oi, and the Stanford Center; President Sexton from New York University, which is an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai; and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University. Thank you all for joining us.
这也是为什么我们夫妇在国外访问时，不只参观宫殿、议会和会晤国家元首。我们也来到学校，与像你们一样的学生见面。因为我们相信，国与国之间的关系不只是政府或领导人之间的关系，它们是人民间―特别是年轻人之间的关系。因此，我们认为海外留学项目不只是为学生提供的教育机会，还是美国外交政策至关重要的组成部分。
Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the globe. And we can text, email, Skype with people on every continent.
MRS. OBAMA: (Applause.) Thank you. Well, ni-hao. (Laughter.) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.
最重要的是，我要感谢今天所有到场的学生们......我要特别感谢埃里克·谢弗和朱宣皓的精彩英文和中文介绍。这绝佳地诠释了我今天要和大家聊的全部话题。
See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, Mr. Schafer and Ms. Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more. And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the globe.
我想要说的是，出国留学绝不仅是改善你们自己的未来，它也关乎塑造你们的国家、关乎我们共有的世界的未来。因为我们这个时代的决定性挑战一一无论是气侯变化、经济机遇，还是核武器扩散一一这些都是我们共同的挑战。没有任何一个国家能够单独应对它们……唯一的出路就是共同携手。
That’s why it is so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s countries, because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation. You do it by immersing yourself in one another’s culture, by learning each other’s stories, by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.
3月22日上午，美国第一夫人米歇尔造访北京大学，并接受北大校长赠书。之后，米歇尔在北大斯坦福中心以“读万卷书不如行万里路”为主题的演讲。在米歇尔的演讲中，“留学”成为关键词。她化用中国古语“读万卷书，不如行万里路”，并结合自身经历现身说法，希望让更多青年人拥有留学的机会。以下为米歇尔演讲的双语全文：
你们看，通过学习彼此的语言，通过展现对彼此文化的好奇心和尊重，谢弗先生、朱女士以及你们大家正在搭建理解的桥梁，这些桥梁带来更多的丰硕成果。我今天来到你们这里是因为我知道，我们的未来取决于全球像你们这样年轻人间的这样的联系。
That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between nations aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders -- they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students, but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.
这就是为什么年轻人到彼此国家学习和生活是如此重要。因为这是你们培养合作习惯的途径一一你们通过融入不同的文化，通过了解彼此的故事，通过跨越常常隔膜我们的成见和误解，来做到这一点。
