(完美精华版)奥巴马演讲中英文对照

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, our sense of patriotism is particularly strong. Because while we gather here under open skies, we know that far beyond the Organ Mountains – in the streets of Baghdad, and the outskirts of Kabul – America's sons and daughters are sacrificing on our behalf. And our thoughts and prayers are with them.I speak to you today with deep humility. My grandfather marched in Patton's Army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you. My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have.I am the father of two young girls, and I cannot imagine what it is to lose a child. My heart breaks for the families who've lost a loved one.These are things I cannot know. But there are also some things I do know.I know that our sadness today is mixed with pride; that those we've lost will be remembered by a grateful nation; and that our presence here today is only possible because your loved ones, America's patriots, were willing to give their lives to defend our nation.I know that while we may come from different places, cherish different traditions, and have different political beliefs, we all –every one of us – hold in reverence those who've given this country the full measure of their devotion.And I know that children in New Mexico and across this country look to your children, to your brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, and friends –to those we honor today –as a shining example of what's best about America.Their lives are a model for us all.What led these men and women to wear their country's uniform? What is it that leads anyone to put aside their own pursuit of life's comforts; to subordinate their own sense of survival, for something bigger – something greater?Many of those we honor today were so young when they were killed. They had a whole life ahead of them – birthdays and weddings, holidays with children and grandchildren, homes and jobs and happiness of their own. And yet, at one moment or another, they felt the tug, just as generations of Americans did before them. Maybe it was a massacre in a Boston square; or a President's call to save the Union and free the slaves. Maybe it was the day of infamy that awakened a nation to a storm in the Pacific and a madman's death march across Europe. Or maybe it was the morning they woke up to see our walls of security crumble along with our two largest towers.Whatever the moment was, when it came and they felt that tug, perhaps it was simply the thought of a mom or a dad, a husband or a wife, or a child not yet born that made this young American think that it was time to go; that made them think "I must serve so that the people I love can live –in happiness, and safety, and freedom."This sense of service is what America is all about. It is what leads Americans to enter the military. It is what sustains them in the most difficult hours. And it is the safeguard of our security.You see, America has the greatest military in the history of the world. We have the best training, the most advanced technology, the most sophisticated planning, and the most powerful weapons. And yet, in the end, though each of these things is absolutely critical, the true strength of our military lies someplace else.It lies in the spirit of America's servicemen and women. No matter whether they faced down fascism or fought for freedom in Korea and Vietnam; liberated Kuwait or stopped ethnic cleansing in the Balkans or serve brilliantly and bravely under our flag today; no matter whether they are black, white, Latino, Asian, or Native American; whether they come from old military families, or are recent immigrants – their stories tell the same truth.It is not simply their bravery, their insistence on doing their part – whatever the cost – to make America more secure and our world more free. It's not simply an unflinching belief in our highest ideals. It's that in the thick of battle, when their very survival is threatened, America's sons and daughters aren't thinking about themselves, they're thinking about one another; they're risking everything to save not their own lives, but the lives of their fellow soldiers and sailors, airmen and Marines. And when we lose them – in a final act of selflessness and service – we know that they died so that their brothers and sisters, so that our nation, might live.What makes America's servicemen and women heroes is not just their sense of duty, honor, and country; it's the bigness of their hearts and the breadth of their compassion.That is what we honor today.Oliver Wendell Holmes once remarked that "To fight out a war, you must believe something and want something with all your might." The Americans we honor today believed. Sergeant Ryan Jopek believed. Ryan was just weeks away from coming home when he volunteered for a mission to Mosul from which he would never return. His friends remember his easy smile; I remember Ryan because of the bracelet his mother gave me that I wear every day. Next to his name, it reads: "All gave some – he gave all."It is a living reminder of our obligation as Americans to serve Ryan as well as he served us; as well as the wounded warriors I've had the honor of meeting at Walter Reed have served us; as well as the soldiers at Fort Bliss and the troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world are serving us. That means giving the same priority to building a 21st century VA as to building a 21st century military. It means having zero tolerance for veterans sleeping on our streets. It means bringing home our POWs and MIAs. And it means treating the graves of veterans like the hallowed ground it is and banning protests near funerals.But it also means something more. It means understanding that what Ryan and so many Americansfought and died for is not a place on a map or a certain kind of people. What they sacrificed for –what they gave all for – is a larger idea – the idea that a nation can be governed by laws, not men; that we can be equal in the eyes of those laws; that we can be free to say what we want, write what we want, and worship as we please; that we can have the right to pursue our own dreams, but the obligation to help our fellow Americans pursue theirs.So on this day, of all days, let's memorialize our fallen heroes by honoring all who wear our country's uniform; and by completing their work to make America more secure and our world more free. But let's also do our part – service-member and civilian alike – to live up to the idea that so many of our fellow citizens have consecrated – the idea of America. That is the essence of patriotism. That is the lesson of this solemn day. And that is the task that lies ahead. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.巴拉克·奥巴马译者：徐达在今天这个阵亡将士纪念日，当我们国家缅怀其前赴后继牺牲的英雄时，我们的爱国主义情绪尤其强烈。

米歇尔奥巴马成都七中演讲稿(中英文双语全文)

米歇尔.奥巴马成都七中演讲全文（中英双语）25日上午10时50分，成都七中艺术楼音乐厅，在持续20秒的热烈掌声后，美国总统奥巴马夫人米歇尔发表此次访华期间的第二场演讲。

她用刚学不久的中文“你好”和“谢谢”作为开场白和结束语，并以讲故事的方式，与成都中学生分享自己的求学经历，强调教育对年轻人的重要性。

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。

奥巴马就职演讲（中英文双译）

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

感谢你们给予我的信任﹐我也清楚前辈们為这个国家所作的牺牲。

我要感谢布什总统对国家的服务﹐感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给予的慷慨协作。

时至今日﹐已有44位美国总统宣誓就职。

总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣﹐有时面临的是狂风骤雨的紧张形势。

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

过去是这样﹐我们这一代美国人也要如此。

我们都狠清楚﹐我们正处於危机之中。

我们的国家正在对触角广泛的暴力和仇恨网络宣战。

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

家园失去了﹔工作丢掉了﹔商业萧条了。

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

这些﹐是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。

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

今天我要向你们说的是﹐我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。

这些挑战狠多﹐也狠严重﹐它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就得以克服。

但记住这一点：美国终将渡过难关。

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

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

我们仍是一个年轻的国家﹐但借用《圣经》的话说﹐摒弃幼稚的时代已经来临。

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

奥巴马的告别演讲(中英双语全网首发)

奥巴马的告别演讲（中英双语全网首发）奥巴马本月10日在芝加哥发表了他的告别演说。

8年间弹指一挥间。

我清楚地几得8年前，奥巴马选举获胜的演说，让所有人为之感动。

黑人当上总统，标志着美国社会的巨大进步。

8年前，我是一个刚步入工作岗位的毛头小伙。

8年后，我成长了。

因为我是搞英语教学的，奥巴马执政期间，我整理过他数万字的演说、演讲，并推送给我的学生。

今天，我很感慨，这是我最后一次整理他的演讲，也算是对我自己8年青春的一次告别。

奥总的演讲很长，我精选了一些核心的段落，制作了这份中英双语的演讲稿。

中文是我翻译的，做到凌晨2:00，估计会有一些纰漏，大家多包涵~若有转载需求，望注明出处（来自微信公众号“侃英语”）。

My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes that we've received over the past few weeks. But tonight it's my turn to say thanks. Whether we have seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people -- in living rooms and in schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant military outposts -- those conversations are what have kept me honest, and kept me inspired, and kept me going. And every day, I have learned from you. You made me a better president, and you made me a better man.【侃哥译】我和米歇尔对于近几周我们收到的祝福表示十分感动。

奥巴马夫人的演讲词(英语)

（看了网上的中文稿，总觉得有些地方不通顺。

于是自己花了3-4个小时，从视频上抄录了英文。

抄录中发现，视频字幕有些地方存在错误，一并用括号标出。

粗体部分表示听众鼓掌或呼呼的部分，从中可以了解美国的民意是什么）（给年轻人希望）When it comes to give our kids the education they deserve,Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could attended (have sent them to) college without a finacial aid. And believe it of not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage. Yeh, we were so young, so in love, and so in debt. And 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, there issues aren’t political, they are p ersonal. 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 Dreams because he’s lived it, and he wants everyone in this country, everyone, to have that (the) same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we are from, or what we look like, or who we love. And he believes that when you (have worked) (work) hard and done well, and walked (walk) through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you, no, you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.（奥巴马的为人、理念、信念）So when people ask me whether being in the 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. Yeh, he is the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs, and instead working in struggling neighborhood where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work. Because for Barack, success is not about how much money you make, it is about the diffence you make in people’s lives. He is 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. You see, 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, strategizing about middle school firendships. That’s the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his dest, pouring over the letters people have sent him. The letter from the father struggli ng to pay his bill, from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won’t cover her care, from the young person (people) with so many promise but so few opportunites. 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, I see how those stories – out collection of struggles and hopes and dreams—I see how that’s w hat drives Barack Obama every single day. And I didn’t think it was possible. But today (let me tell you 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. Let me tell you why. See, I love t hat 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. Yeh, 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 thevery best in everyone he meets. And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we’re a ll sweating it, when we’re worried that the bill won’t pass, and it seems like all is lost, see, Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise, no. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward, with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace. And he reminds me, 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 fo lks 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‖.（号召人们像前辈一样努力奋斗，为子孙后代着想，投奥巴马一票）See, 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 fo rget that doing the impossible is the history 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 ot 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, right? And 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 on Election Day and make our voices heard. 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, 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 let me tell you something I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady, no, and not just as a wife, you see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still ―mon-in-chief‖. My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world. But (let me tell you) today, I have none of those worries from four years ago,(no, not) 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 for all our sons and daughters, if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promises, 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!

Obama奥巴马感恩节演讲中英对照第一篇：Obama奥巴马感恩节演讲中英对照Good morning.Nearly 150 years ago, in one of the darkest years of our nation's history, President Abraham Lincoln set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of Thanksgiving.America was split by Civil War.But Lincoln said in his first Thanksgiving decree（颁布命令）that difficult times made it even more appropriate for our blessings to be(and I quote), “gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people.”This week, the American people came together with families and friends to carry on this distinctly American tradition.We gave thanks for loved ones and for our lasting pride in our communities and our country.We took comfort in good memories while looking forward to the promise of change.But this Thanksgiving also takes place at a time of great trial for our people.Across the country, there were empty seats at the table, as brave Americans continue to serve in harm’s way from the mountains of Afghanistan to the deserts of Iraq.We honor and give thanks for their sacrifice, and stand by the families who endure their absence with such dignity and resolve.At home, we face an economic crisis of historic proportions.More and more Americans are worried about losing a job or making their mortgage payment.Workers are wondering if next month's paycheck will pay next month's bills.Retirees are watching their savings disappear, and students are struggling with the cost of tuition.It's going to take bold and immediate action to confront this crisis.That's why I'm committed to forging a new beginning from the moment I take office as President of the UnitedStates.Earlier this week, I announced my economic team.This talented and dedicated group is already hard at work crafting an Economic Recovery Plan that will create or save 2.5 million new jobs, while making the investments we need to fuel long-term economic growth and stability.But this Thanksgiving, we're reminded that the renewal of our economy won't come from policies and plans alone.It will take the hard work, innovation, service, and strength of the American people.I've seen this strength firsthand over many months--in workers who are ready to power new industries, and farmers and scientists who can tap new sources of energy;in teachers who stay late after school, and parents who put in that extra hour reading to their kids;in young Americans enlisting in a time of war, seniors who volunteer their time, and service programs that bring hope to the hopeless.It's a testament to our national character that so many Americans took time out this Thanksgiving to help feed the hungry and care for the needy.On Wednesday, I visited a food bank at Saint Columbanus Parish in Chicago.And there, as in so many communities across America, folks pitched in time and resources to give a lift to their neighbors in need.It is this spirit that binds us together as one American family--the belief that we rise and fall as one people;that we want that American Dream not just for ourselves, but for each other.That's the spirit we must summon （召唤）as we make a new beginning for our nation.Times are tough.There are difficult months ahead.But we can renew our nation the same way that we have in the many years since Lincoln's first Thanksgiving: by coming together to overcome adversity;by reaching for--and working for--new horizons of opportunity for all Americans.So this weekend, with one heart, and one voice, the American people can give thanks that a newand brighter day is yet to come.第二篇：obama 奥巴马演讲2010年华盛顿核安全峰会公报全文（中英对照）2010-04-15 来源: 【大中小】我要投稿划词已开启2010年4月13日，首届核安全峰会在华盛顿发表公报。

奥巴马励志演讲稿中英

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

奥巴马夫人演讲原文(精彩演讲).

以下是英语原文 :Transcript: Michelle Obama's Convention Speech September 4,2012Thank 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 walk again, they're going to run, and1they'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 people 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 an extraordinary 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?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?2Our 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 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 –their3unconditional 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.4But 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 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 ahead5of 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.6We 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 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 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 amount7of 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.8When 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 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.9That'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 Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago.10He'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 he meets.And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it – whenwe'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 the history 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, senda man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of abutton...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.。

Firstlady奥巴马夫人母亲节演讲稿

Firstlady奥巴马夫人母亲节演讲稿Hello everyone, I’m Michelle Obama,and on this Mother’s Day weekend, I want to take a moment to honor all the mothers out there and wish you a Happy Mother’s Day.I also want to speak to you about an issue of great significance to me as a First Lady, and more importantly, as the mother of two young daughters. Like millions of people across the globe, my husband and I are outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls from their school dormitory in the middle of the night. This unconscionable act was committed by a terrorist group determined to keep these girls from/ getting an education –grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls.And I want you to know that Barack has directed our government to do everything possible to support the Nigerian government’s efforts to find these girls and bring them home. In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters. We see their hopes, their dreams – and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now. Many of them may have been hesitant to send their daughters off to school, fearing that harm might come their way.But they took that risk because they believed in their daughters’ promise and wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed. The girls themselves also knew full well the dangers they might encounter.Their school had recently been closed due to terrorist threats…but these girls still insisted on re turning to take their exams. They were so determined to move to the next level of their education…so determined to one day build careers of their own and make their families and communities proud. And what happened in Nigeria was not an isolated incident…it is a story we see every day as girls around the world risk their lives to pursue their ambitions.It’s the story of girls like Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan. Malala spoke out for girls’ education in her community…and as a result, she was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman while on a school bus with her classmates.But fortunately M alala survived…and when I met her last year, I could feel her passion and determination as she told me that girls’ education is still her life’s mission.As Malala said in her address to the United Nations, she said “The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.”The courage and hope embodied by Malala and girls like her around the world should serve as a call to action. Because right now, more than 65 million girls worldwide are not in school. Yet, we know that girls who are educated make higher wages, lead healthier lives, andhavehealthier families. And when more girls attend secondary school, that boost s their country’s entire economy.So education is truly a girl’s best chance for a bright future, not just for herself, but for her familyand her nation. And that’s true right here in the U.S. as well…so I hope the story of these Nigerian girls will serve asan inspiration for every girl – and boy – in this country. I hope that any young people in America who take school for granted – any young people whoare slackingoff or thinking of dropping out – I hope they will learn the story of these girls andrecommit themselves to their education. These girls embody the best hope for the future of our world…and we are committed to standingup for them not just in times of tragedy or crisis, but for the long haul. We are committed to giving them the opportunities they deserve to fulfill every last bit of theirGod-given potential. So today, let us all pray for their safe return... let us hold their families in our hearts during this verydif ficult time…and let us show just a fraction of their courage in fighting to give every girl on thisplanet the education that is her birthright. Thank you.。

奥巴马励志英语演讲稿

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and fellow Americans,It is an honor to stand before you today. As I reflect on the journey that has brought me to this moment, I am reminded of the incredible resilience and strength of the human spirit. I want to share with you a story of hope, a story of overcoming adversity, and a story of the power of determination.The Road to the White HouseMy journey began in a small town in Hawaii, where I was raised by a single mother who worked tirelessly to provide for me and my sister. She instilled in us the values of hard work, integrity, and the belief that anything is possible if you are willing to put in the effort. These values shaped my early years and guided me as I navigated the complexities of life.As a young man, I moved to Chicago, a city that would become my home for many years. It was here that I witnessed the harsh realities of poverty and inequality firsthand. These experiences taught me that the world is not always fair, but it is within our power to make it better.I entered politics with the belief that we could bridge the divides that separate us and create a more just and equitable society. My journey was not easy. There were moments of doubt, moments of failure, and moments when I wondered if I was making a difference. But I never lost sight of my vision, and I never stopped fighting for what I believed in.Overcoming AdversityOne of the most challenging moments of my life came when I was diagnosed with skin cancer. It was a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of health care. I was fortunate to have access to quality medical care, but not everyone is so lucky. This experience reinforced my commitment to reforming our health care system and ensuring that all Americans have access to the care they need.Throughout my political career, I have faced countless obstacles. From the setbacks in my early campaigns to the fierce opposition Iencountered in the halls of Congress, I have learned that success is not measured by the absence of failure, but by the resilience to rise above it.The Power of DeterminationI believe that the power of determination is the most powerful force in the world. It is what drives us to push through our fears, to overcome our challenges, and to achieve our dreams. It is what allows us to turn obstacles into opportunities and to turn adversity into strength.I see this power in the faces of the men and women who work day and night to improve the lives of those around them. I see it in the students who dream of a better future and in the entrepreneurs who take risks to create new opportunities. I see it in the families who have overcome incredible hardships and in the communities that have come together to rebuild after disaster.A Message of HopeAs we gather here today, I want to leave you with a message of hope. The world may seem uncertain, and the challenges we face may seem overwhelming, but we have the power to overcome them. We have the power to shape our own destiny.We must remember that we are not defined by our circumstances, but by our response to them. We must believe in ourselves and in each other. We must be brave enough to stand up for what is right and to fight for what we believe in.I encourage each and every one of you to embrace the power of determination. Whether you are striving to achieve personal goals, to improve your community, or to change the world, know that you are not alone. We are all part of a larger story, a story of human progress and the enduring spirit of hope.A Call to ActionAs we move forward, let us not be afraid to dream big and to take bold steps towards our goals. Let us not be deterred by the naysayers or theskeptics.

And alongthe way, some of us might even watch a little basketball or eat some Christmas cookies, too.THE FIRST LADY: Here at the White House, over the past few weeks, we’ve had about 70,000people from all across the country come visit us and look at our holiday decorations.This year’s theme was “Gather Around: Stories of the Season.”And in every room of the house, we tried to tell a story about who we are as Americans and howwe celebrate the holidays together.And we made certain to highlight some of the most powerfulstories we know—the stories ofour outstanding troops, veterans, and military families and their service and sacrifice for ourcountry.THE PRESIDENT: Our extraordinary men and women in uniform are serving so that therest of us can enjoy the blessings we cherish during the holidays. But that means many of ourtroops are far from home and far from family. They’re spending some extra time on the phonewith their loved ones back home. Or they’re setting up video chats so they can watch as thepresents are opened. So today, we want all of our troops to know that you’re in our thoughtsand prayers this holiday season.And here’s the good news: For many of our troops and newest veterans, this might be the firsttime in years that they’ve been with their families on Christmas. In fact, with the Iraq war overand the transition in Afghanistan, fewer of our men and women in uniform are deployed inharm’s way than at any time in the last decade.THE FIRST LADY: And that’s something we all can be thankful for.And with more and more of our troops back here at home, now it’s our turn to serve—it’s ourturn to step up and show our gratitude for the military families who have given us so much.And that’s why Jill Biden and I started our Joining Forces initiative—to rally all Americans tosupport our military families in ways large and small.And again and again, we have been overwhelmed by the response we’ve gotten as folks fromacross the country have found new ways to give back to these families through their schools,businesses, and houses of worship.THE PRESIDENT: That’s the same spirit of giving that connects all of us during the holidays.So many people all across the country are helping out at soup kitchens, buying gifts for childrenin need, or organizing food or clothing drives for their neighbors. For families like ours, thatservice is a chance to celebrate the birth of Christ and live out what He taught us - to love ourneighbors as we would ourselves; to feed the hungry and look after the sick; to be our brother’skeeper and our sister’s keeper. And for all of us as Americans, regardless of our faith, those arevalues that can drive us to be better parents and friends, better neighbors and better citizens.THE FIRST LADY: So as we look to the New Year, let’s pledge ourselves to living out thosevalues by reaching out and lifting up those in our communities who could use a hand up.THE PRESIDENT: So Merry Christmas, everyone. And from the two of us, as well as Malia,Sasha, Grandma, Bo…THE FIRST LADY: And Sunny, the newest Obama.THE PRESIDENT: We wish you all a blessed and safe holiday season.THE FIRST LADY: Happy holidays everybody, and God bless.。

奥巴马总统在首届美国和非洲领导人峰会英语演讲稿

奥巴马总统在首届美国和非洲领导人峰会英语演讲稿奥巴马总统在首届美国和非洲领导人峰会英语演讲稿Good evening, everybody. Please have a seat. On behalf of Michelle and myself, wele to the White House. This city, this house, has weled foreign envoys and leaders for more than two centuries. But never before have we hosted a dinner at the White House like this, with so many Presidents, so many Prime Ministers all at once. (Applause.) So we are grateful for all the leaders who are in attendance. We are grateful to the spouses. I think the men will agree that the women outshine us tonight in the beautiful colors of Africa. Tonight we are making history, and it’s an honor to have all of you here. And I stand before you as the President of the United States and a proud American. I also standbefore you as the son of a man from Africa. (Applause.) The blood of Africa runs through ourfamily. And so for us, the bonds between our countries, our continents, are deeply personal. We’re grateful for the ties of family. Of all the incredible moments of our trips to Africa, oneof the most memorable was being able to bring Michelle, and later our little girls, to myfather’s hometown in Kenya, where we were embraced by so many relatives. We’ve walked the steps of a painful past – in Ghana, at Cape Coast Castle; in Senegal, at GoréeIsland – standing with our daughters in those doors of no return through which so manyAfricans passed in chains. We’ll never fet bringing our daughters to Robben Island, to thecell from which Madiba showed the unconquerable strength and dignity of an African heart. We’ve been inspired by Africans -- ordinary Africans doing extraordinary things. Farmersboosting their yields, healthworkers saving lives from HIV And both of us stand in awe of the extraordinary young Africans that we’ve met, not onlyacross Africa, but most recently here in Washington just last week when we hosted our MandelaWashington Fellows from many of your countries. And those young people show the world thatAfrica has the talent and the drive to fe a new future. These are the tides of history, and the ties of family, that bring us together this week. Theseare the citizens who look to us to build a future worthy of their dreams – especially those whodream of giving their children a future without war or injustice, without poverty or disease.They are in our prayers tonight. And also with us are the words of a song –“New Africa”– that have inspired so many acrossthe continent, and that Michelle and I first heard last year in Senegal: Come together, New Africa Work together Keep on working, for Africa And so I propose a toast to the New Africa – the Africa that is rising and so full of promise – andto our shared task to keep on working for the peace and prosperity and justice that all ourpeople seek and that all our people so richly deserve. Cheers. (A toast is offered.) Enjoy your dinner, everybody. (Applause.)。

【奥巴马演讲稿无畏的希望全文】奥巴马演讲录[修改版]

奥巴马演讲稿无畏的希望全文。

奥巴马演讲内容无畏的希望，是奥巴马04年的一篇演讲稿，在民主共和会议上，下面绿林书阁整理奥巴马演讲稿无畏的希望全文奥巴马演讲稿无畏的希望全文july 27, 2004on behalf of the great state of illinois, crossroads of a nation, land of lincoln, let me express my deep gratitude for theprivilege of addressing this convention. tonight is a particular honor for me because, let’s face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. my father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in kenya. he grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. his father,my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant.伟大的伊利诺伊州既是全国的交通枢纽，也是林肯的故乡，作为州代表，今天我将在大会致词，并为自己能有幸获此殊荣而倍感骄傲和自豪。

今晚对我而言颇不寻常，我们得承认，我能站在这里本身就已意义非凡。

我父亲是一个外国留学生，他原本生于肯尼亚的一个小村庄，并在那里长大成人。

他小的时候还放过羊，上的学校简陋不堪，屋顶上仅有块铁皮来遮风挡雨。

而他的父亲，也就是我的祖父，不过是个普通的厨子，还做过家佣。

but my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place:america, which stood as a beacon of freedom andopportunity to so many who had e before. while studying here, my father met my mother. she was born in a town on the other side of the world, in kansas. her father worked on oil rigs and farmsthrough most of the depression. the day after pearl harbor he signed up for duty, joined patton’s army and marched across europe. back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work ona bomber assembly line. after the war, they studied on the gi bill, bought a house through fha, and moved west in search of opportunity.但祖父对父亲抱以厚望。
