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

英语演讲稿英语演讲:米歇尔·奥巴马在迪拉德大学毕业典礼上的演讲(中英字幕+文本)MRS. OBAMA: Oh, my goodness! Good morning!AUDIENCE: Good morning.MRS. OBAMA: I am so happy to be here with you all. I’m proud to be here in the Big Easy. Look at you all! (Applause.) You look good.STUDENT: You do too!MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. (Laughter.) I want to start by thanking Nicole for that very kind introduction and for sharing her story, which is not too unfamiliar to me -- because they told me I couldn’t be where I am, too. So I want to thank Nicole. I’m proud of her. Thank you for the selfie; I think that’s the first selfie I’ve done at a commencement. So, Nicole, you’re my first. (Laughter.)And of course, I want to thank the Dillard University Choir. Oh, oh, oh! (Applause.) Oh! That’s all I can say. It’s like you want to start something up in here, right? (Laughter.) It’s like, now we got a commencement going on up in here. (Laughter.) That was beautiful, beautiful. Thank you so much.I also want to recognize Senator Mary Landrieu, who is here. Let’s give her a hand. (Applause.) She has been a strong supporter of this university.I want to thank the Dillard University Board of Trustees.I want to thank the faculty, the staff, and, of course, your tremendous president, Dr. Walter Kimbrough. (Applause.) Now, my husband has been called a few things over the years, but he has never had the honor of being referred to as the “Hip Hop President.” (Applause.)I also want to thank all the folks from the University of New Orleans for hosting us here today. And I know they’re hosting the folks at Southern University at New Orleans for their commencement later on today as well, so we wish them a wonderful day. And thank you for having us. (Applause.) And of course, I’ve got to give a big shout-out to all the family members in the crowd, all of the family members -- (applause) -- especially to the mothers, because it is the day before Mother’s Day. To all the mothers, Happy Mother’s Day. (Applause.)Now, graduates, you all handled your business, right? Just because you were graduating didn’t mean you -- come on, now. (Laughter.) Okay, well, if you didn’t, you have my permission to get up and go right now, because there is nothing more important -- no, no, don’t get up. (Laughter.) Your mothers would kill you if you got up at this moment. (Laughter.) So just stay in your seats, and when this is all over make sure you take care of mom.But in all seriousness, to all the moms out there -- as well as the dads and the grandparents, the uncles, the aunts, the brothers, the sisters, all of you who have helped raise these graduates -- you have seen them through their ups and downs, and you have poured your hearts and souls into these men and women. So today is your day, too, and you should be very proud. You really should. (Applause.)And finally, most of all, I want to congratulate the beautiful and handsome men and women of the Dillard University Class of 2014. Yay! (Applause.) You all have come so far, I know, to make it to this day -- from all those early days when the girls were sneaking out of Williams Hall to go see the boys over at the Duals -- oh yeah, I did my research -- (laughter) -- to all those tests you crammed for, to the plans you’remaking now for your careers, to go on to graduate school.You all have seen so much. You’ve witnessed this school’s rebirth after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina -- the new buildings that replaced the ones you lost, the classrooms that started filling back up again, the service projects that you all have done to help this community bounce back. And I know along the way that each of you has written your own story of resilience and determination to make it here to this day.For example, as you heard, Nicole was told back in high school that she just wasn’t college material. But now she is your class president, and she’s headed off to Yale for her graduate degree. So there. (Applause.) That’s it.And I know that some of you may come from tough neighborhoods; some of you may have lost your homes during Katrina. Maybe you’re like DeShawn Dabney, a graduate who was raised by his grandmother -- (applause) -- maybe -- that’s your grandmother, isn’t it, DeShawn? (Laughter.) Raised by his grandmother while some of his family members were dealing with issues. Maybe just like him, you’ve been working part-time jobs since you were a teenager to make your dream of going to college come true. And now, today, you’re all here ready to walk across this stage and get that diploma.And no matter what path you took to get here, you all kept your hearts set on this day. You fought through every challenge you encountered, and you earned that degree from this fine university. And in doing so, you are following in the footsteps of all those who came before you, and you have become an indelible part of the history of this school -- a history that, as you all know, stretches back to well before the Civil War, back to 1826, the year a child named Emperor Williams was born.Now, Emperor was born into slavery. But as he grew up, he managed to teach himself to read and write well enough to create a pass that allowed him to come and go around the city without getting hassled. But one day, his master saw the pass and he said, where did you learn to write like that? Now, just imagine the fear Emperor must have felt when he heard that question -- because remember, back then it was illegal for a slave to learn to read or write. So who knows what kind of punishment he may have gotten -- a beating, a whipping, even worse.We don’t exactly know what happened on that day, but we do know that when Emperor turned 32, after more than three decades in bondage, he became a free man. He decided to stayin New Orleans, and he went on to become a minister -- even founded a church right here in town. And in 1869, when abolitionists, missionaries, black folks and white folks came together to create a school for freed slaves here in New Orleans, Emperor was one of the original signers of the charter.They decided to name the school New Orleans University, because even though most of the classes would be taught at a high school level or below, oh, their aspirations were much higher than that. And when they laid the cornerstone for that university’s first building down on St. Charles Avenue, Emperor got a chance to speak.He said -- and these are his words -- he said, “For twenty years I was a slave on these streets. It was a penitentiary offense to educate a Negro. I have seen my fellow-servants whipped for trying to learn; but today here I am [am I], speaking where a building is to be erected for the education of the children of my people.” He goes on to say, “I wonder if this is the world I was born in.”See, in the course of his short lifetime, Emperor saw education go from being a crime for black folks to being a real possibility for his kids and grandkids. So no wonder he was asking whether this was the same world he’d been born into.See, for a man like Emperor, getting an education could open up a whole new world of opportunity. An education meant having real power. It meant you could manage your own money. It meant you couldn’t get swindled out of land or possessions when somebody told you to just sign on the dotted line; sometimes even determined whether or not you could vote.So most folks back then saw education as the key to real and lasting freedom. That’s why, when New Orleans University and the other African American college in town, Straight University, first opened their doors, one of the biggest problems they faced was too many students. That’s right -- too many students. Many of these students barely spoke English; they’d grown up speaking Creole or French. Few had ever seen the inside of a classroom or even been taught their ABCs.But let me tell you, those students were hungry -- you hear me? Hungry. They studied like their lives depended on it. They blazed through their lessons. And that hunger for education lasted for generations in the African American community here in New Orleans.When an arsonist set fire to the school’s library in 1877, they built a new one. When those two original schools ran into financial troubles years later, they started makingplans to build an even bigger and better university. And in the 1930s, when white folks complained that this new school would mean too many black students on their buses, the folks at the school got the city to add a bus line just for their students, because nothing -- nothing -- was going to stop them from achieving the vision of those early founders. (Applause.) And finally, in May of 1934, they broke ground for this school, Dillard University -- (applause) -- a university that would go on to produce some of the leading thinkers and achievers in our country. And the day the cornerstone was laid for your library, the President of Howard University spoke these words: He said, “There lies in this Southland today, buried in unmarked graves, many a black genius who would have blessed this city and this section of our country, if [only] his parents could have had before them the Dillard University you are now building.”And in the years since then, through segregation and depression, through threats of violence and the floodwaters of a devastating storm, students like you have come here to study and to learn, and to carry forward those hopes and dreams. And today, I stand before a sea of young geniuses. Oh, yeah. (Applause.)So, graduates, I hope that you understand that this day is not just the culmination of your own dreams, but the realization of the dreams of so many who came before you. And you should be so proud, and so happy, and so excited about your futures. But what you shouldn’t be is satisfied. (Applause.) See, because while it is a wonderful thing that all of you are here today, we have to ask ourselves, what about all those geniuses who never get this chance?I’m talking about the young people from right here in New Orleans and across the country who aren’t part of a commencement like this one today, kids no different from all of us, kids who never made it out of high school. The fact is that today, the high school graduation rate for black students is improving, but it is still lower than just about any other group in this country. And while college graduation rates have risen for nearly every other demographic, including African American women, the college graduation rate for African American men has flatlined.See, and the thing is, when our young people fall behind like that in school, they fall behind in life. Last year, African Americans were more than twice as likely as whites to be unemployed. They were almost three times as likely to livein poverty. And they were far more likely to end up in prison or be the victims of violent crimes.Now, perhaps when you hear these statistics, you might think to yourself, well, those numbers are terrible, but I’m not part of the problem. And you might be thinking that since you’re not one of those statistics, and you’re sitting here wearing that nice black robe today, you can go on your way and never look back.But folks like you and me, we can’t afford to think like that -- never. See, because we’re the lucky ones, and we can never forget that we didn’t get where we are today all on our own. We got here today because of so many people who toiled and sweat and bled and died for us -- people like our parents and grandparents and all those who came before them, people who never dreamed of getting a college education themselves but who worked, and saved, and sacrificed so that we could be here today. We owe them. (Applause.) We owe them.And the only way to pay back that debt is by making those same kinds of sacrifices and investments for the next generation. And I know sitting here right now, that task could seem a bit overwhelming. I know it could seem like the deck is stacked way too high against our young people. And the truthis that some of the problems we face -- structural inequality, schools that lag behind, workplace and housing discrimination -- those problems are too big for one person to fix on their own.But that’s still no excuse to stand on the sidelines. Because we know that today, education is still the key to real and lasting freedom -- it is still true today. So it is now up to us to cultivate that hunger for education in our own lives and in those around us. And we know that hunger is still out there -- we know it.We see it in students like DeShawn and Nicole and all of you who scraped and clawed so you could make it to this day. We see it in the single moms who work three jobs so their kids might have a shot at earning a degree like yours. (Applause.) We see that hunger all around the world -- in that young woman named Malala who was shot on her school bus in Pakistan just for speaking out in support of girls getting an education, and the more than 200 girls kidnapped from their own school in Nigeria for wanting an education -- (applause) -- young people who are knowingly risking their lives every day just to go to school.And in fact, you’ve seen that hunger right here atDillard: your valedictorian, three salutatorians are all from Nigeria. (Applause.) They studied hard at an early age, earned scholarships to come here to this university, achieved 4.0 GPAs. And now they are off pursuing master’s degrees, work in software development, teaching math and science to young people here in the United States.See, now, that’s the kind of hunger for education that we have to reignite in all of our communities. It’s the same hunger that gave life to this university, the same hunger that defined so many of our parents and grandparents -- including my own. You see, my parents never went to college, but they were determined to see me and my brother and all the kids in our neighborhood get a good education. (Applause.)So my mother volunteered at my school -- helping out every day in the front office, making sure our teachers were doing their jobs, holding their feet to the fire if she thought they were falling short. I’d walk by the office and there she’d be. (Laughter.) I’d leave class to go to the bathroom, there she’d be again, roaming the halls, looking in the classrooms. And of course, as a kid, I have to say, that was a bit mortifying, having your mother at school all the time.But looking back, I have no doubt that my classmates andI got a better education because she was looking over those teachers’ shoulders. (Applause.) You see, my mom was not a teacher or a principal or a school board member. But when it came to education, she had that hunger. So she believed that our education was very much her business.And we need more people who think and act like my mother, and all those mothers out there, because the education of our young people is all of our business. That’s what Emperor Williams thought. That’s what the folks here in New Orleans thought as they worked to rebuild this campus after Katrina. And as graduates of Dillard University, that’s how we need you to think every single day for the rest of your lives.You all have opportunities and skills and education that so many folks who came before you never could have dreamed of. So just imagine the kind of impact that you’re going to make. Imagine how you can inspire those around you to reach higher and complete their own education.And you can start small. Start by volunteering at an after-school program, or helping some high school kids fill out their college applications. Show them the path that you took. Or you can think a little bigger -- you can get your entire congregation or your community to start a mentoring program;maybe convince your new employer to sponsor scholarships for underprivileged kids. Or maybe you could think a little higher -- maybe you could run for school board or Congress, or, yes, even President of the United States. (Applause.)And then maybe you could build preschools for every single one of our kids. Maybe you could help turn that pipeline to prison into a highway to college; help give every child in America an education that is truly worth of their promise. Those are the kind of big dreams that folks who founded this university reached for. That is how high they set their bar.And so we owe it to those folks -- the folks who had the audacity to call their little schools “universities” and name their baby boys “Emperor” -- we owe it to them to reach as high as they did, and to bring others along the way. As the history of this school has taught us, no dream is too big, no vision is too bold; as long as we stay hungry for education and let that hunger be our North Star, there is nothing, graduates, nothing that we cannot achieve.So, graduates, that is your mission. This is your obligation. I want you to keep reaching higher. I want you all to keep raising your bars. Let the next generation know that there is no greater investment than a good education. And ifyou do all of this, then I am confident that you will uphold that duty and write your own chapter into the legacy of this great university. And let me tell you something, I cannot wait to see the world that your children will be born into.Congratulations. I love you all. I am honored to be here.I am proud of you. God bless you. And thank your families. (Applause)。

Remarks by the First Lady at Number Seven SchoolChengdu, ChinaMarch 25, XXNi hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thankyou so much for your warm welcome.Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that ourhearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As I saidthis past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all ofthem in our thoughts and our prayers at thistremendously difficult time.So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate,Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, andyou should be very proud. Thank you so much. (Applause.) And I want to thankall of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of youjoining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderfulschool.Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School.It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the studentsat this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they werebursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about whatthey had seen.But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions aboutChina. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, butinstead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure thatthey’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how touse chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote-- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.”Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away fromeach other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’seasy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eatdifferent foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meetyoung people from so many countries, I’m alwaysstruck by how much more we havein common. And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China.You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, mybrother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largestcities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t havemuch money, but our little home was bursting with love. Every evening, my familywould laugh and share stories over dinner. We’d play card games and have fun forhours. And on summer nights, I remember, when our apartment got too hot, we’dall sleep outside on our back porch.Family meant everything to us, including our extended family. My grandparentslived nearby, and my elderly great aunt and uncle lived in the apartment downstairsfrom us. And when their health started to decline my parents stepped in, helping myuncle shave and dress each morning, dashing downstairs in the middle of the night tocheck on my aunt.So in my family, like in so many of your families, we took care of each other.And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams for me and mybrother. They had only a high school education themselves, but they weredetermined to send us both to universities.So they poured all of their love and all of their hope into us, and they worked hard.They saved every penny. And I know that wasn’t easy for them, especially for myfather. You see, my father had a serious illness called multiple sclerosis. And as hegot sicker, it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to get dressed in themorning.But no matter how tired he felt, no matter how much pain he was in, my fatherhardly ever missed a day of work, because he wasdetermined to give me and mybrother a better life. And every day, like so many of you, I felt the weight of myparents’sacrifices on my shoulders. Every day, I wanted to make them proud.So while most American kids attend public schools near their homes, when it wastime for me to attend high school, I took an exam and got into a special public highschool where I could get a better education. But the school was very far from myhome, so I had to get up early every morning and ride a bus for an hour, sometimes anhour and a half if the weather was bad. And every afternoon, I’d ride that same busback home and then immediately start my homework, often studying late into thenight -- and sometimes I would wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to study evenmore.And it wasn’t easy. But whenever I got tired or discouraged, I would just thinkabout how hard my parents were working for me. And I would remember somethingmy mother always told me –- she said: “A good education is something that noone can take away from you.”And when it was time for me to apply to university, I had many options, because inAmerica, there are many kinds of universities. There are four-year universities.There are two-year community colleges which are less expensive. There areuniversities where you take classes at night while working during the day. So youdon’t have to be a top student to attend a university. And even if your parents don’t have much money or you live in a tiny town in a rural area, in America, you can stillattend university. And you can get scholarships and government loans to help payyour tuition.So I attended Princeton University for my undergraduate degree, and I went onto Harvard University for my graduate degree in law. And with those degrees I wasable to become a lawyer at a large law firm, and then I worked as an executive at acity hospital, and then I was the director of an organization that helped disadvantagedyoung people.And my story isn’t unusual in America. Some of our most famous athletes, likeLeBron James, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, came from strugglingfamilies like mine, as do many business leaders –like Howard Schultz. He’s thehead of a company called Starbucks, which many of you may have heard of. WhenMr. Schultz was a boy his father lost his job, leaving their family destitute. But Mr.Schultz worked hard. He got a scholarship to a university, and eventually built thelargest coffeehouse company in the world.And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised by a single mother whosometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy gotscholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor,and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he becamePresident of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, BarackObama. (Applause.)These stories are the stories of so many Americans, and of America itself.Because in America, we believe that no matter where you live or how much moneyyour parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are, if you work hard andbelieve in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed. We also believe thateveryone is equal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship aswe choose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agree with whatwe believe.Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy. And there have beentimes in our history where we have fallen short. Many decades ago, there wereactually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me,who are a minority in the United States. But over time, ordinary citizens decidedthat those laws were unfair. So they held peaceful protests and marches. Theycalled on government officials to change those laws, and they voted to elect newofficials who shared their views.And slowly but surely, America changed. We got rid of those unjust laws. Andtoday, just 50 years later, my husband and I are President and First Lady of the UnitedStates. And that is really the story of America –- how over the course of our shorthistory, through so many trials and struggles, we have become more equal, moreinclusive, and more free.And today in America, people of every race, religion and ethnicity live togetherand work together to build a better life for their children and grandchildren. And inthe end, that deep yearning to leave something better for those who come after us, thatis something we all truly share. In fact, there’s a Chinese saying that I love that says,“To achieve true happiness, help the next generation.”And like so many of your parents, my parents sacrificed so much so that I could haveopportunities they never dreamed of. And today, as a mother myself, I want evenmore opportunities for my own daughters. But of course, as I always tell mydaughters, with opportunities come obligations.And that is true for all of you as well. You all have the opportunity to receive aneducation from this wonderful school, and you all have an obligation to take thefullest advantage of this opportunity. And I knowthat’s exactly what you all aredoing.You’re winning prizes in math and science. Here, you are staging musicalperformances around the world. You’re volunteering in your communities. Andmany of you are working hard to get an education your parents never dreamed of.So you all have so much to offer –- and that’s a good thing, because the worldneeds your talent. The world needs your creativity and energy more than ever before.Because we face big challenges that know no borders –- like improving the qualityof our air and water, ensuring that people have good jobs, stopping the spread ofdisease. And soon, it will all fall to all of you to come together with people on everycontinent and solve these problems together.Now, fortunately, here at this wonderful school, you’re already well on your way.For more than a decade, you’ve been buildingspecial relationships with a Americanschool in -- an American high school, and many of you will attend universities inAmerica or find other ways to reach out beyond your borders.So in the years ahead, much like you and I are doing here today, you will becreating bonds of friendship across the globe that will last for decades to come. Andover the past week, as I have seen both the ancient wonders and the modernachievements of your fascinating country, and as I’ve met with extraordinary youngpeople like all of you, I am more confident than ever before in our shared future.And I cannot wait to see everything that you will achieve here in China and aroundthe world.Thank you again for hosting me and my family at this extraordinary school, and Iwish you all the best of luck in your journey ahead.

大学英语奥巴马的演讲稿
Ladies and Gentlemen,It is a great honor and a privilege to stand before you today at the University of Cape Town. As I look out at this vibrant campus, I am reminded of the incredible potential that lies within each of you. You are the future leaders, innovators, and change-makers of this world. And it is here, in this moment, that I want to share with you a message of hope, a call to service, and a vision for a brighter future.First, let me extend my deepest gratitude to the University of Cape Town for inviting me to speak to you today. Your commitment to excellence, to fostering intellectual curiosity, and to promoting social justice is an inspiration to us all. Your university is a beacon of light in a world that desperately needs more beacons of light.As I stand before you, I am reminded of the history of this great institution. The University of Cape Town has a long and proud tradition of standing up for what is right, of challenging the status quo, and of embracing the diversity of thought and experience. This tradition is evident in the struggles of your predecessors, who fought against apartheid and for the freedom and dignity of all people. It is a tradition that continues to shape the character of this university, and it is a tradition that I deeply admire.Today, we live in a world that is more interconnected than ever before. Advances in technology have brought people closer together, allowing us to share ideas, to learn from one another, and to build a more just and prosperous world. Yet, with this interconnectedness comes great challenges. We face a world that is divided by conflict, by inequality, and by a lack of hope.As young people, you have the power to shape this world. You have the power to bridge the divides that separate us, to overcome the challenges that confront us, and to build a future that is brighter than the one we inherited. But this requires a commitment to service, to action, and to the common good.Let me share with you a story that has inspired me throughout my life.It is the story of a young girl named Malala Yousafzai, who stood up for the right to education in her native Pakistan. Despite facing grave threats to her life, Malala continued to advocate for the rights ofgirls and women, inspiring millions around the world. Her courage and determination remind us that even in the darkest times, hope can befound in the hearts of young people who are willing to stand up for what is right.As you embark on your journey of learning and discovery, I urge you to consider the following questions:1. What is your purpose? What drives you to get out of bed each morning? What are you passionate about? Answering these questions will help you stay focused and committed to your goals.2. How can you make a difference? What is your unique talent, your special skill, that you can use to contribute to the world? Whether itis through science, technology, art, or service, there is a way for each of you to make a meaningful impact.3. Who will you serve? Will you choose to serve the few, or will you serve the many? Will you choose to serve your own interests, or will you choose to serve the common good? The answer to this question will define the legacy you leave behind.As you answer these questions, I want to share with you three principles that I believe can guide you on your path:1. Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. It is the key to unlocking the potential within each of us. Invest in your education, and continue to learn and grow throughout your life.2. Service is the best expression of our gratitude. When we give back to our communities, we not only help others, but we also find fulfillment and purpose in our own lives. Find opportunities to serve, and make a difference in the lives of others.3. Leadership is about the ability to inspire others to join you in a common cause. It is not about power or authority, but about the power of your ideas and the strength of your character. Lead with humility, compassion, and integrity.As you leave this campus, take with you these three principles. Let them guide your actions, shape your decisions, and inspire your dreams. Remember that you are part of a larger story, a story of human progress, a story of hope and possibility.In closing, I want to leave you with a quote from Nelson Mandela, who once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." As you embrace the power of education, as you commit to service, and as you lead with courage and conviction, you will change the world.Thank you, and may God bless you all.[Applause]。
米歇尔奥巴马演讲稿
米歇尔奥巴马演讲稿尊敬的各位领导、各位嘉宾,亲爱的同学们:大家好!今天,我很荣幸能够站在这里,和大家分享我对教育和女性权益的一些看法。
作为前第一夫人,我有幸见证了许多不同背景的女性在教育领域取得的成就,也深知教育对于一个国家和一个社会的重要性。
在这个世界上,有太多的女性因为种种原因而无法接受教育,这不仅是对她们个人的剥夺,也是对整个社会的损失。
因此,我们需要共同努力,为每一个女性提供平等的接受教育的机会。
教育不仅仅是传授知识,更是培养人的品格和思维能力。
在我看来,教育应该是包容的,应该为每一个学生提供一个展示自己的舞台。
无论是男孩还是女孩,无论是富裕家庭的孩子还是贫困家庭的孩子,他们都应该有平等的机会接受优质的教育。
我们应该努力消除性别歧视,让每一个女孩都能够有机会去追求自己的梦想,去证明自己的价值。
在过去的几年里,我有幸见证了许多女性在不同领域取得的成就。
她们不仅在科技、商业、政治等领域表现出色,也在教育领域做出了重要贡献。
她们不仅仅是为了自己的利益,更是为了整个社会的发展和进步。
她们的成功不仅仅是她们个人的胜利,更是对整个社会的鼓舞和激励。
因此,我们应该为她们搭建更多的平台,为她们提供更多的支持和鼓励。
在教育领域,我们需要更多的女性发声,更多的女性参与决策。
因为只有她们才能更好地理解女性的需求和困境,才能更好地为女性争取权益。
我相信,只要我们共同努力,只要我们齐心协力,就一定能够创造一个更加公平和包容的社会,让每一个女性都能够享有平等的权利和机会。
最后,我希望每一个女性都能够相信自己的力量,勇敢地追求自己的梦想。
无论遇到什么样的困难和挑战,都要坚定地向前走,相信自己一定能够战胜一切。
同时,我也希望每一个男性都能够尊重和支持女性,让我们共同努力,创造一个更加美好的未来。
谢谢大家!。

Remarks by the First Lady at Number Seven School Chengdu, ChinaMarch 25, XXNi hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thankyou so much for your warm welcome.Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that ourhearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As I saidthis past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all ofthem in our thoughts and our prayers at this tremendously difficult time.So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate,Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, andyou should be very proud. Thank you so much. (Applause.) And I want to thankall of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of youjoining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderfulschool.Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School.It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the studentsat this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they werebursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about whatthey had seen.But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions aboutChina. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, butinstead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure thatthey’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how touse chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote-- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.”Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away fromeach other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’seasy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eatdifferent foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meetyoung people from so many countries, I’m always struck by how much more we havein common. And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China.You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, mybrother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largestcities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t havemuch money, but our little home was bursting with love. Every evening, my familywould laugh and share stories over dinner. We’d play card games and have fun forhours. And on summer nights, I remember, when our apartment got too hot, we’dall sleep outside on our back porch.Family meant everything to us, including our extended family. My grandparentslived nearby, and my elderly great aunt and uncle lived in the apartment downstairsfrom us. And when their health started to decline my parents stepped in, helping myuncle shave and dress each morning, dashingdownstairs in the middle of the night tocheck on my aunt.So in my family, like in so many of your families, we took care of each other.And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams for me and mybrother. They had only a high school education themselves, but they weredetermined to send us both to universities.So they poured all of their love and all of their hope into us, and they worked hard.They saved every penny.

奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿
奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿孩子们应该受到很好的教育,说道这个问题,barack懂得,就像我们中很多人一样,没有助学金他就也不可能上大学。
你们相信吗?在我和他新婚之时,我们的助学贷款的压力甚至远大于房贷。
当时我们那么年轻,还负债累累。
因此,barack竭尽全力提高助学金额度,同时压低利息,他希望让每一个年轻人都能大展宏图,不必为了求学债台高筑,。
归根到底,这些对他来说根本无关政治,推己及人而已。
他深深得知道家庭的处境。
他懂得希望子孙过上好日子是这样一种感受。
他知道什么是美国梦,因为他曾亲身经历。
他希望每一个人都能有相同的机会。
无论身份,无论家乡,无论种族,无论信仰和情感。
他相信当每一个人努力奋斗,出人头地,在通过机遇的大门之后,不会自私地关上大门,而会转身伸出援手。
给予人们共同的机会一起成功!如果你要问我白宫这四年是否改变我的丈夫?我可以坦诚相告,不论是看他的品格,信仰,还是内心,此时此刻的他是彼时彼地我相爱的那个人!如今的他还会像那时一样,拒绝高薪工作,而深入社区基层,去帮助濒临倒闭的钢厂的职工和家属。
去重建那样的社区,帮助人们再度就业。
因为对他来讲,成功的标准并不是收入,而是你对他人生的积极影响,他还是那个当女儿刚降生时,会分分钟钟就跑到婴儿床边查看女儿是否还在呼吸的那个父亲。
会抱着女儿去找所有的熟人显摆。
他至今仍每晚和我跟女儿一起吃晚餐。
耐心地回答她们关于新闻和时事的问题,为她们在学校交朋友的事儿出谋划策。
每天深夜我都见到他在办公室沉默着,翻着一封封寄给他的信。
有的信来自艰难谋生维持家用的父亲,有的来自被保险公司弃之不管的病入膏肓的女性,有的信来自徒有大志却怀才不遇的年轻人,我看到他为此忧心不已,他无比坚定地对我说:你无法想象他们过着什么样的日子,米歇尔,这是不对的!我们必须再接再厉去改变这些,我们做的还远远不够!我看到那些故事,那些艰难困苦和那些梦想希望,正是那一切让奥巴马每日为之努力,从前的我绝想不到今天的我反而比四年前更爱我的丈夫了,甚至远胜23年前我们相爱时,我爱他!因为他不忘本!我爱他,因为他会去履行承诺,困难当头他只会越挫越勇,我爱他,因为他对人们一视同仁!从不管你是那个党派,又或是有无党派。

My first foreign trip as a first lady. Can you believe that? (Applause) And while this is not my first visit to the U.K., I have to say that I am glad this is my first official visit. The special relationship between the United States and the U.K. is based not only on the relationship between governments, but the common language and the values that we share. And I'm reminded of that by watching you all today. During my visit I've been especially honored to meet some of Britain's most extraordinary women. Women who are paving the way for all of you.这是我的第一次出访。
米歇尔奥巴马演讲稿中英文(范本)
米歇尔奥巴马演讲稿中英文米歇尔奥巴马演讲稿中英文......事实上,他们为此心存感激。
他们就是心怀着最根本的美国希望,即是说,哪怕你出身贫寒,只要你努力工作,做好本职,那么你就能让自己过上体面的生活,而你的子女和他们的孩子也会过得越来越好。
他们就是这样把我们养育成人......并且成为了我们的学习榜样。
我们学会了做自尊正派的人--努力工作远比挣钱多少重要......帮助别人比自己争先更有意义。
我们学会了做诚实守信的人--要讲究真相......不能妄图走捷径或耍小伎俩......以及公平争取来的成功才算数。
我们学会了感激和谦卑--我们的成功依靠许多人的帮助,从启迪我们的老师到保持学校整洁的校工......我们学会珍惜每个人的贡献,并以尊重待人。
这些是巴拉克和我--以及在场的众多人士--都试图传递给子女的价值观。
我们就是这样的人。

敬的教育改革者。
在我们每个人的人生中,都需要有像米歇尔·奥巴马这样的榜样,来激励我们不断进取,不断追求自己的梦想。

米歇尔-奥巴马演讲稿
Good morning AmericaCongratulations to all the young people across this country who are heading to college this fall. Particularly those of you who are the first in your families to pursue your higher education. I'm so proud of you,Because as a first generation college graduate myself,I know it isn't easy to get to this point.Back when I first arrived at college, I had plenty of moments of anxiety and doubt. I struggled to find my community, chose my classes. I didn't even know what right size sheets to put on my bed. But before long I started to hit my stride, I discovered subjects I was passionate about, I made friends I loved,and I went on to have the career that I dreamed of in public service.And as you prepare to start your own college journey, I want to give you a few pieces of advice.First, don't ever doubt that you deserve to be there .The admissions committee saw something special in you,and they were confident that you could succeed. That's why they accepted you,,so don't waste any time worrying about whether you belong,Instead put that energy into working hard and learning,Learn as much as you canSecond,Don't be afraid to try new things,These years are a precious opportunity to discover who you are and what you love doing,So be brave, take some risks, make some mistakes and then learn from themThird,whatever you do, don't try to do this alone. Find a community to support you. Find professors to mentor you. And don't ever be afraid to seek out,deans, counselors, tutors, and RAs. And ask for help when you need it. That's their job, that's why they are there. They are there to help you,Finally,never forget that there are so many people who believe in you. People who are cheering you on every step of the way,and I want you to know that Barack and I are proud of all of you,and we can't wait to see everything you go on to achieve.So congratulations again! Keep reaching higher,and good luck!。
奥巴马夫人米歇尔的助选演讲稿(中英文对照)
First Lady Michelle Obama:When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could've attended college without financial aid.And believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage.We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political – they're personal. Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles.He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it...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 shutbehind 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 years 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 the same 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 moments 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 than 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 hemeets. And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it – when we're worried that the bill won't pass, 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 moving 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 thehistory 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 a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans 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.奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲稿孩子们应该受到很好的教育,说道这个问题,barack 懂得,就像我们中很多人一样,没有助学金他就也不可能上大学。

米歇尔演讲稿
米歇尔演讲稿尊敬的各位领导、老师和同学们:大家好!今天我非常荣幸能够站在这里,向大家分享我的一些想法和观点。
首先,我想谈谈关于人生的选择和决定。
我们每个人都会面临各种各样的选择,这些选择将决定我们的人生走向。
但是,重要的不是我们做出了什么选择,而是我们如何对待和应对这些选择。
米歇尔·奥巴马曾经说过,“你的声音有价值,无论你的年龄、性别、种族和背景如何。
”这句话告诉我们,每个人都有权利和能力去塑造自己的人生。
其次,我想谈谈关于团队合作和沟通的重要性。
在现代社会,团队合作已经成为一种必不可少的能力。
没有一个人能够独自完成所有的事情,我们需要和他人一起合作、共同努力,才能取得更大的成就。
而良好的沟通则是团队合作的基础。
米歇尔·奥巴马在她的演讲中强调了沟通的重要性,她说,“沟通是建立关系的桥梁,是解决问题的关键。
”这句话告诉我们,只有通过良好的沟通,我们才能更好地理解彼此,更好地协作。
最后,我想谈谈关于梦想和追求的问题。
每个人都有自己的梦想,但是要实现梦想并不容易。
我们需要不断地努力和奋斗,才能让梦想变成现实。
米歇尔·奥巴马曾经说过,“不要害怕失败,失败是成功的垫脚石。
”这句话告诉我们,失败并不可怕,关键在于我们能够从失败中学到什么,能够坚持不懈地追求自己的梦想。
在结束我的演讲之前,我想再次引用米歇尔·奥巴马的一句话,“当他们低估你时,你就要超越他们的期望。
”让我们一起努力,超越他人的期望,实现自己的梦想。
谢谢大家!。

米歇尔·奥巴马在伦敦一所女校发表讲话,充满热情地以自身经历敦促每个学生认真对待教育。
她说这些有才质的一代新人将会缩小现实世界与理想世界的差距。
Remarks by America’s First Lady, Michelle Obama at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School, Islington, U.K.美国第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马在英国伦敦伊斯灵顿·伊丽莎白·安德森女校的演讲2009年4月3日美国第一夫人米歇尔•奥巴马在英国伦敦伊斯灵顿伊丽莎白•安德森女校的英语演讲稿中英对照:This is my first trip. My first foreign trip as a first lady. Can you believe that? (Applause) And while this is not my first visit to the U.K., I have to say that I am glad this is my first official visit. The special relationship between the United States and the U.K. is based not only on the relationship between governments, but the common language and the values that we share. And I'm reminded of that by watching you all today. During my visit I've been especially honored to meet some of Britain's most extraordinary women. Women who are paving the way for all of you.这是我的第一次出访。
是我作为第一夫人的第一次外事出访。
你们能相信这个事实吗?(掌声)虽然这不是我第一次来英国,我必须说很高兴我的首次官方访问是来英国。
美国和英国之间的特殊关系,不只是基于政府之间的关系,而且基于我们有共同的语言和价值观。
看见你们大家就使我想到这一点。
在访问期间我特别荣幸地会见了英国一些最出色的女士。
这些女士在为你们所有女孩子铺路。
And I'm honored to meet you, the future leaders of Great Britain and this world. And although the circumstances of our lives may seem very distant, with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America, and you, just getting through school. I want you to know that we have very much in common. For nothing in my life's path would have predicted that I'd be standing here as the first African-American First Lady of the United States ofAmerica. There is nothing in my story that would land me here. I wasn't raised with wealth or resources or any social standing to speak of. I was raised on the South Side of Chicago. That's the real part of Chicago. And I was the product of a working-class community. My father was a city worker all of his life. And my mother was a stay-at-home mom. And she stayed at home to take care of me and my older brother. Neither of them attended university. My dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the prime of his life. But even as it got harder for him to walk and get dressed in the morning -- I saw him struggle more and more -- my father never complained about his struggle. He was grateful for what he had. He just woke up a little earlier and worked a little harder. And my brother and I were raised with all that you really need: love, strong values and a belief that with a good education and a whole lot of hard work, that there was nothing that we could not do.我也很荣幸见到你们,这些英国和世界未来的领导者。
虽然我们的生活境况好像相差很远,我作为美国第一夫人站在这里,而你们还正在上学。
我想让你们了解我们有很多共同之处。
因为在我生命历程中没有任何东西曾经预示我会站在这里,作为美利坚合众国的第一位非洲裔第一夫人。
我的资历里没有什么东西能使我站在这个位置上。
我不是用财富和资源养大的,也谈不上有什么社会地位。
我是在芝加哥的南边养大的。
那是芝加哥的真实部分。
我出身于工人阶级。
我父亲一辈子是个市政工人。
我母亲是个家庭妇女。
她待在家里照顾我和我哥哥。
我父母都没上过大学。
我爸爸被诊断有多种硬化症,当他壮年的时候。
但就在他变得难以行走,而且早上难以穿衣的时候-- 我看着他挣扎得越来越厉害-- 我父亲却从来没有抱怨过他的困难。
他对于自己拥有的一切心存感激。
他只是起得更早一点,工作得更努力一点。
我哥哥和我在成长过程中得到了人生真正需要的一切:爱,强有力的价值观,以及一个信念,就是靠着良好的教育,还有大量的辛勤工作,没有什么是我们做不到的。
For personal use only in study and research; not for commercial useI am an example of what's possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by the people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life. Grandmothers, teachers, aunts, cousins, neighbors, who taught me about quiet strength and dignity. And my mother, the most important role model in my life, who lives with us at the White House and helps to care for our two little daughters, Malia and Sasha. She's an active presence in their lives, as well as mine, and is instilling in them the same values that she taught me and my brother: things like compassion, and integrity, and confidence, and perseverance. All of that wrapped up in an unconditional love that only a grandmother can give.我的例子就表明女孩子能创造奇迹,只要她们从生命最开始的时候,就受到周围人的爱护和教养。
我的生命中围绕着非凡的女性。
祖母,老师,姨妈,表姐妹,邻居,她们教会我沉默的力量和尊严。
还有我母亲,我生命中最重要的榜样,她和我们住在白宫帮着照顾我们的两个小女儿,玛丽娅和萨莎。
她在孩子们和我的生活中都很活跃,并正在给她们灌输,她教给我和我哥哥的价值观:同情心,正直、自信和坚定。
所有这些都包含在无条件的爱之中,那是只有一个祖母才能给予的爱。
I was also fortunate enough to be cherished and encouraged by some strong male role models as well, including my father, my brother, uncles and grandfathers. The men in my life taught me some important things, as well. They taught me about what a respectful relationship should look like between men and women. They taught me about what a strong marriage feels like. That it's built on faith and commitment and an admiration for each other's unique gifts. They taught me about what it means to be a father and to raise a family. And not only to invest in your own home but to reach out and help raise kids in the broader community.For personal use only in study and research; not for commercial use我也很幸运地从一些男性榜样那里得到珍爱和鼓励,包括我父亲,我哥哥,叔伯和祖父。
