奥巴马演讲摘抄

Nobody gets to write your destiny but you. Your future is in your hands. Your life is what you make of it.没有人，只有你才能书写你自己的命运。未来在你自己手中，生活由自己缔造。

And nothing -- absolutely nothing -- is beyond your reach, so long as you’re willing to dream big, so long as you’re willing to work hard.So long as you’re willing to stay focused on your education, there is not a single thing that any of you cannot accomplish, not a single thing. I believe that.

只要志向远大，并努力为之奋斗，没有什么是不能得到的。只要你专注于学业，没有什么事不能实现的。我确信。

your success in school is not just going to determine your success, it’s going to determine China’s success in the 21st century.

你们在学校的成功并不只决定了自己一人的成功，还决定了中国在21世界是否能够成功。

You’ve got to instill a sense of excellence in everything that you do. That kind of discipline, that kind of drive, that kind of hard work, is absolutely essential for success.

抛开一切烦恼，全心投入学习中来，在每件事情上追求卓越。自律、上进、努力是成功的必要条件

you can’t just sit around waiting for luck to see you through.

你不能这样干坐着等着天上掉馅饼

But just because you’re not the best at something today doesn’t mean you can’t be tomorrow.

但是，今天在某些方面不是最好的并不意味着明天不会。

The secret to success，It’s about working harder than everybody else.

成功的秘诀，是比别人更加努力！

So don’t avoid new challenges -- seek them out, step out of your comfort zone, don’t be afraid to as k for help.

所以不要逃避挑战，跳出你是舒适区，不要害怕求助。

But the truth is, an education is about more than getting into a good college. It’s about more than getting a good job when you graduate. It’s about giving each and every one of us the chance to fulfill our promise, and to be the best version of ourselves we can be. 事实是，教育不等于进入一所好的大学，不等于毕业后找到一份好工作。

教育是为我们实现诺言、做我们最好的自己提供机遇。

And we shouldn’t be embarrassed by the things that make us different. We should be proud of them, because it’s the thing that makes us different that makes us who we are, that makes us unique. 我们不应当为那些让我们与众不同为耻，我们应当为这些不同之处而自

豪，因为与众不同使我们独一无二。

“I try to achieve my dreams and help others do the same.

我努力实现我的梦想，并帮助其他人实现他们的梦想
