第二篇：美国第一夫人演讲稿

Dr.Jill Biden: Thank you, Secretary Panetta and Deputy Secretary Wolin for your leadership.Thank you, General Dempsey, for your kind introduction.Good afternoon, Deanie, and all the Joint Chiefs and your spouses.Thank you for being such great partners to Michelle and me.I want to offer a special welcome to all of our service members and their spouses.We are honored to be with you today.Many of you know, as the General mentioned, that I am a proud military mom.One of the best parts of my role as Second Lady is the privilege of meeting with service members and their families all over the world.I am always amazed at their courage, their determination and their resilience.That inspiration is one of the main reasons the First Lady and I started Joining Forces so that all Americans are helping to support our military families.We've seen Americans step up in so many ways.We've seen businesses hiring tens of thousands of veterans and military spouses--businesses like Sears, Kmart and Sam's Club have made commitments to hire military spouses or make base transfers easier.Medical schools have committed to educate their students about post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries and conduct new research on these conditions.Schools, community organizations and Americans of every age and background have sent care packages, donated childcare and created community celebrations for the military families in their neighborhoods.And Americans are stepping up because they know how much our military spouses and families have done for our country.People like Ann Wells.Ann's husband, Robert, is career combat engineer and command service sergeant major.After 10 years of marriage, Ann went back to school for her nursing degree.As a teacher, I have had the privilege of teaching countless women like Ann, women who fight hard for a good education.But like so many military spouses, Ann moved frequently with her husband and that often meant a new license was required to pursue her nursing career in Hawaii, in Tennessee, in Texas and in Missouri.That's why our efforts here today are so important.They are another way we can show our support for those who serve this country.Please join me in welcoming Ann.(applause)Ann Wells: Thank you, Dr.Biden, for those fine remarks.And to all the leaders of government, our First Lady, Secretary Panetta, General Dempsey, thank you for your leadership and your guidance today.And I just want to thank all of you for making military spouses and our professions a priority today.As an Army spouse for 32 years, I am enormously proud of what my husband does.And I am proud to step up and serve this country in my own way as well.But being a military spouse brings with it some extra challenges, and as a registered nurse, I know that firsthand.I take my profession as a nurse just as seriously as Robert does the military.My family has moved ten times throughout my husband's career.I have long since lost track of the number of months that I've spent waiting around for licensing paperwork to catch up so that I could continue my own career.One move happened 30 days after a deployment;we had to start moving during the Christmas holidays.Moving the family, finding a new home, a new school for the kids, you have to make new friends, all this puts a loss of stress on the families.And, you know, I can't even start looking for a new type of work until I have an address so I can start sending off for my license.There's also the extra cost of applying for the new license which differs from state to state.You have the time waiting for an official college transcript.You have to submit another set of fingerprints to file in the state.You need to figure out what forms have to be filled out, signed and notarized.One time the whole process was so difficult to sort through and Robert was going through some tough times after deployment that I finally gave up and decided I just didn't need to get my license in this state.And many of my friends that I've talked to have similar stories as mine.The issue of occupational license portability is one of the very top concerns we have as military spouses.In serving this country we move a lot;it's just what we do.And for those of us in one of the dozens of professions in this country that require state licensures, these moves can be particularly tough.Moving just in and of itself is tough.Now add the financial pressure of finding a new job and in a new location.We are not looking for a handout.And none of us for a second wants to change a professional standard.We're simply looking to be able to provide for our families and continue the careers that we love.And so I'd like to thank everyone here today for helping military spouses, like me, just to do that, to be there with us.And right now I'd like to turn it over to someone who has worked with Dr.Biden to make a difference in the lives of America's military families.She has not just talked about it;she has actually gotten up and done something about it.Ladies and gentlemen, the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama!(applause)First Lady Michelle Obama: Thank you so much.Thank you, everyone.Thank you all so much.Someone can give an order to be seated.There are plenty of people here who can do that, correct?(laughter)But thank you--thank you for that wonderful welcome.And thank you, Ann.Thank you for the kind introduction and for all that you and your family have done for our country.I also want to thank Secretary Panetta for hosting us here at the Pentagon.And of course, I have to thank Jill, who has been such a wonderful friend and such a terrific partner in Joining Forces.I also want to join in recognizing General Dempsey and his wife, Jeannie--Deanie, why am I saying Jeannie? Hi, Deanie.How are you?(laughter)Thank you.You've been amazing.You've helped us through.You've kept us on the straight and narrow along with all of the other spouses of the Joint Chiefs.You all have been just amazing supports.And I also have to recognize the Joint Chiefs as well.Thank you all.You all have been so steadfast, just right there every step of the way.We are just proud of everything that you do for this country.And we also have Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin, who is here from the Department of Treasury, who has put so much time and effort into helping prepare this report.We wouldn't be here today without all that you have done, so thank you.Well done.Job well done.Absolutely.(applause)We also have Alan Krueger, who's the Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors;of course, the First Lady of Kentucky, Jane Beshear, who has been really doing some phenomenal work in her state and taking the lead and stepping up in ways big and small.We really are grateful to everything that you've done.We also have members of Congress here, we have state legislators, and we representatives from many of our nation's veterans service organizations who are here with us.And we are all here today, we have all gathered, to say this to America's military families: We are incredibly grateful for your service.We understand the unique challenges that you face;and we are going to do everything that we can to make sure that you can pursue your careers and provide for your families.Now as Jill said, over the past few years, she and I have had the privilege of visiting with military spouses all across the country.And as Jill said, you all are some of the most courageous, resilient, and inspiring people that we have ever met.You all are the ones who keep your families together when your spouse is deployed.You're the parents who turn off the news at night for fear of what you might hear, who answer all those questions about why Mom or Dad has been gone for so long.You're the spouse who steps up to do the work of two parents, raising the kids, running the household, juggling all the errands and chores all alone.But you are still the volunteer on the PTA.（家庭教师协会）You still lead that food drive.You organize the neighborhood carpool.You're the families who, every few years, you pack up your entire lives, and you move whenever and wherever your country calls.But no matter how much is on your plate, no matter what this country asks of you, you all just keep moving forward.You just keep serving your families, your communities and your country in ways that many of us cannot fathom.But when it comes to moving forward in your own careers, when it comes to getting a job and being able to provide for your families when you arrive at that new base or duty station, far too often, you can't just keep moving because you've run into a brick wall.It happens to military spouses again and again.You're asked to move to a new state.You want to get back to the job you love and the job you need to support your family.But you can't do any of that because your nursing license or your teaching credentials don't transfer when you move to a new state.It happens to nurses like Ann.It happens to school teachers, to childcare providers, to accountants, real estate brokers, dental hygienists, lawyers too--that's supposed to be funny.No one likes lawyers.(laughter)And so many other careers.We have learned that more than one of every three military spouses in the labor force have jobs that require some kind of professional license or certification.So this licensing issue affects more than 100,000 individuals--100,000 individuals.And the vast majority of you are clearly ready to work when you get to your new state.You've already demonstrated your specialized skills.You've already gained years of professional experience.But too often, as Ann said, you're left waiting for paperwork to clear while your skills go unused and more importantly your family's bank accounts shrink.And this is something Jill and I hear about on every single base and in every single military community that we visit.It is the number one issue that military spouses tell us about.And we know that this is a challenge for these families because the one important thing that I have learned about military spouses is they never complain.They never ever ask for anything.So on the rare occasion when our military spouses do speak up and ask for our help, then it's time for all of us to take action.And that's what today's report from the Departments of Defense and Treasury is all about.That's what we're doing.We're all taking action.We've heard your frustrations, and we're finding solutions.And that starts by first recognizing how these issues arise.Now, each state issues its own professional license and sets its own standards of professional competence.Take teachers, for example.To earn a teaching license, states ask for some combination of state and national test scores, supervised work experience, and advanced coursework.But when you analyze requirements like these across several states, you begin to understand the challenges that arise for military spouses.In some states, for example, applicants are required to take an entry-level course in state history or other subjects before the licensing board will grant a license.So if you're a military spouse with years of teaching experience and you move across state lines, you could end up taking extra classes for weeks on end before you can even get a job, and that's just what happens in one profession.When you're talking about dozens of careers, the web of requirements and standards can get pretty thick.But before we go any further, let me be very clear: We're not asking any state to change their standards.6 These state rules are important, and states have every right to set benchmarks just like these.In doing so, they hold our professionals to a high bar and they give us all peace of mind whenever we walk into a hospital or enroll our kids in school.But it's also clear that this system poses very unique challenges for our military families.And recently, a number of states have stepped forward to address this very problem.So let me just tell you about what just some of a few states are already doing.In Tennessee, they're granting temporary licenses in many professions, which will allow spouses to get a job first, then complete any remaining state licensing requirements.In Colorado, the director of their state licensing agency now has the power to waive cumbersome requirements for military spouses who clearly demonstrate their competence.And then in Arizona, they passed legislation to grant licenses, in most professions, to military spouses who have at least one year of experience.So that's three states with three different solutions.In each of them, military spouses with professional skills and experience don't have to wait before they get to work.If they need to complete any remaining requirements in their new state, they can do it as they earn a paycheck.And that's the general guideline that eight other states have followed as they've created laws of their own.And we're pleased that 13 more states have legislation pending or waiting to be introduced.But that still leaves 26 states--that still leaves more than half the country--that have yet to address this issue.And, again, that's where this report comes in.We know that there's no one-size-fits-all solution here.Every state is different.So this report simply provides a roadmap of best practices that leaders across the country can use as a resource as they explore ways that their state can better support these military families.The report contains tips and ideas, not edicts and decrees.But the point is that there are solutions here.This is a solvable problem.So today we are setting a national goal--by the year 2014, we want all 50 states to have passed their own legislation to address these licensing issues.And we know it's an ambitious goal.We know it won't be easy to achieve, but we also know that our nation's military families have waited long enough.(applause)And it's also important to note that this isn't just about military spouses.This issue affects our troops.It affects our military children, all of whom are relying on the income of these spouses earn.This affects our schools and our hospitals and our businesses that need those skilled employees.And all of that affects our entire economy--our unemployment rate, our productivity, our competitiveness all around the world.So it's time for us to come together as a country to find some solutions to this problem that has affected so many of our military families for so long.It is time for us to make sure that our military spouses, that their hard work and professional skills are recognized, no matter what state they move to.And we're all willing to do our part to work together to move this issue forward and to provide support for states along the way.That's why, in addition to today's announcement, when our nation's governors gather at the White House in just two weeks, Jill and I are going to make this ask directly.We're going to ask each of the governors to lead the charge on this issue in their state.We're also going to reach out to state legislators across the country, and we're going to ask them to jumpstart the legislative process.The state liaisons here at the Department of Defense will be working nonstop to help these state leaders craft and pass bills that fit their states' needs.In addition, we're going to be asking advocacy groups like the National Military Family Association to engage at a state level to build the kind of grassroots support that will help get this done.And we're going to urge more national professional organizations to follow the lead of the American Bar Association, which actively is encouraging its state affiliates to make licensing accommodations for military spouses.So we are ready to roll up our sleeves and do some heavy lifting on this issue.We are ready to make this happen.And if we can do this, if we can work together so that every state can find its own solution, we'll once again show all of you--our incredible military families--that America has your back.After all, that's exactly what you do for all of us every single day.That's what you do for us.No matter how much we ask of you, no matter what the personal cost, our military families always answer the call.They always do.And today, as we announce this new effort, I'm reminded of a group of military spouses that I met with a few years ago in Kentucky.One woman we were talking to, she choked up as she told me about some of the challenges that she and her family were facing.And I'll never forget what happened next: another military spouse who was sitting there, she jumped in and she said--and this is a quote--she said, “I don't know this woman.I didn't meet her before today, but when she leaves here, she will have my number.And she will be able to call me anytime.She's got the support of this friend right here.” See and I tell that story because that's who military spouses are.That's exactly who they are.That's the life that so many of you here today lead.That is the commitment that you show every single day to your families, to our communities and to our country.And I just want you all to know that you can call on us, and we will answer.We owe it to you and your families who have sacrificed so much.And so to all of the state leaders out there, in this room and beyond, I want to thank you for everything that you've done so far, and I look forward to working with you to finish this job.And to our troops and our military families, I cannot thank you enough for everything you do for this country.We are inspired by you.We are so proud of you, and we are working as hard as we can to serve you as well as you have served this country.Thank you all, God bless, and God bless the United States of America.Thanks, so much.(applause)

第三篇：第一夫人晚宴致辞

第一夫人晚宴致辞

Thank you, Betsy for your warm welcome and for sharing your love of teaching as America's Teacher of the Year.I met Betsy when she came to the White House in April to receive the Teacher of the Year award.In her remarks that day Betsy said, “It's quite overwhelming to be recognized for something that you love to do every day.”

谢谢你，贝蒂，谢谢你的热情欢迎，谢谢你与我们分享了你作为美国本最佳教师对教学的挚爱。四月贝 蒂来白宫领取本最佳教师奖时，我见到了她。那天贝蒂在致辞中说：“能够因自己喜欢做的事得到表彰是一件感到莫大幸福的事。”

All teachers deserve to be recognized for the contributions they make in our classrooms and in our country.Teaching is the greatest public service and we owe teachers our admiration and respect.Each of the teachers here tonight exemplifies the very best in teachingI decided to be a teacher.I decided this not only because I loved school and writing on the chalk board.I wanted to teach because I loved my second-grade teacher, Mrs.Gnagy and I wanted to be just like her.So I went to college and earned a teaching degree, and after working as a teacher in Dallas, I gained a whole new respect for Mrs.Gnagy.But I loved every minute of it.我知道教学可以多么有意义，多么富有挑战性，一个老师可以对一个孩子一生带来多大的不同。我8岁时做 了一个非常成熟、非常明智的决定---决定做一名教师。我做出这个决定，不仅仅因为我热爱学校，喜欢在黑板上写字，我想当老师还因为我爱我的二年级老师---娜洁太太，我希望做像她一样的老 师。所以我上了大学，获得了教学学位。在达拉斯当了老师后，我对娜洁太太更产生了全新的敬意。我喜欢教学的每时每刻。

外长助理2011年非政府组织新年招待会致辞

尊敬的各位来宾，女士们、先生们：

Distinguished Guests,Ladies and Gentlemen,今晚很高兴与各位新老朋友相聚，共贺新年。我谨代表外交部并以我个人的名义，向各位来宾致以最美好的 节日祝福，向一年来所有关心和支持非政府组织工作的朋友们表示衷心的感谢！

Tonight, it gives me great pleasure to gather with my friends, both old and new, to celebrate the New Year.I would like to extend, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in my own name, the warmest festive greetings to all of you and heartfelt thanks to all the friends who have been supporting the work of non-governmental organizations.刚刚过去的2010年，对世界和中国人民来说都是不平凡的一年。这一年，世界多极化、经济全球化深入 发展，世界经济总体摆脱金融危机阴霾、步入复苏轨道，气候变化、能源资源安全等全球性问题更加突出，国际和地区热点

问题此起彼伏，世界和平发展面临的机遇 和挑战都前所未有。这一年，面对国际国内环境的复杂变化，中国人民团结一心、开拓进取，战胜青海玉树地震、甘肃舟曲特大泥石流等自然灾害，确保经济平稳较 快发展，成功举办上海世博会、广州亚运会和亚残运会，顺利完成嫦娥二号卫星探月任务，胜利实现“十一五”规划确定的目标任务，得到了世界各国的广泛理解和 认可。

The year 2010 which is just behind us has been an eventful year for the world and Chinese people.In 2010, the trend toward multi-polarity and economic globalization gained momentum and the world economy emerged from the shadow of the financial crisis and embarked on the track of recovery.Global issues including climate change and energy and resources security became more pronounced and international and regional hotspot issues kept flaring up.World peace faced

unprecedented opportunities and challenges.In the face of complex changes in the international and domestic environment, the Chinese people united as one and overcame such natural disasters as the Yushu earthquake and the massive Zhouqu mudslide and ensured steady and relatively fast economic development.We successfully hosted the world Expo 2010 Shanghai, the Asian Games and Asian Para Games in Guangzhou, accomplished the Chang’e-2 lunar probe mission and fulfilled the objectives and tasks under the 11th Five-Year Plan.We have won widespread understanding and recognition from countries around the world.2010年，也是中国境内外非政府组织蓬勃发展、成绩显著的一年。这一年，中国社会组织快速增长。登 记注册的社会组织总数已超过43万，在推进社会发展、改善民生、促进公益事业、实现千年发展目标等方面发挥着积极而独特的作用。这一年，更多的境外非政府 组织来华开展合作，与中方合作单位在教育、卫生、环保、慈善和社会福利等领域开展了大量活动，为中国的经济社会发展发挥了有益的补充作用，进一步加强了中 国与世界的交流。特别值得一提的是，玉树地震和舟曲泥石流灾害发生后，包括救助儿童会等在内的多家境外非政府组织与灾区人民感同身受，为救灾重建做出重要 贡献，所展示出的专业水平、敬业精神和友好情谊，给中国人民留下了深刻印象。The year 2010 also witnessed vigorous development and remarkable achievements of domestic and overseas NGOs in China.In the course of the year, China’s social organizations enjoyed fast development.The number of registered social organizations exceeded 430,000 and they played a positive and unique role in promoting social development, improving people’s livelihood, advancing the cause of social welfare and achieving the Millenium Development Goals.More overseas NGOs came to China for cooperation and carried out many activities with their Chinese partners in the fields of education, health, environmental protection, charity and social welfare.They served as a useful complement for China’s economic and social development and further enhanced China’s exchanges with the world.It is particularly worth mentioning that in the aftermaths of the Yushu earthquake and the Zhouqu mudslide, many overseas NGOs including Save the Children felt the pain of the people in the disaster-affected areas and made important contribution to our disaster relief and reconstruction efforts.The professionalism, dedication and frendship they displayed left the Chinese people with a deep impression.同样也是在这一年，包括外交部在内的中国多个政府部门与境外非政府组织的交往与合作呈现新局面，取得 新进展。去年8月，我们首次以政府部门、学术机构和外国非政府组织三方合作的形式举办了“全球化背景下的非政府组织研讨会”。我们还积极协助有关境外非政 府组织在云南贫困地区开展扶贫合作项目，促成有关非政府组织参加国情社情考察活动。今天，我们又首次举办非政府组织新年招待会，邀请有关部委、外国驻华使 馆、国际组织驻华代表机构、地方外办、国内外非政府组织和学术机构的代表共同参加，充分体现了中国政府对境外非政府组织的高度重视。

In 2010, the interactions and cooperation among chinese ministries and departments, including the Ministry of Foreign

Affairs, and overseas NGOs made fresh headway.Last August, we held the seminar on NGOs in Globalization, the first one in the form of trilateral cooperation among the government, academic institutions and overseas NGOs.We provided active assistance for the poverty relief programs of relevant overseas NGOs in poor areas of Yunan Province and facilitated

relevant NGOs’ participation in field trips to enhance their knowledge of china’s national conditions.Today, we are hosting the New Year Reception for NGOs for the first time, and have invited representatives of relevant ministries and departments, local foreign affairs offices, foreign embassies, representative offices of international organizations, domestic and foreign NGOs and academic institutions.This fully show the great importance the Chinese government has attached to overseas NGOs.女士们，先生们，Ladies and Gentlemen,2011年是新世纪第二个十年的开启之年，也是中国“十二五”规划的开局之年。“十二五”规划确定了 中国未来五年经济社会发展的主要目标和任务，明确提出“要培育扶持和依法管理社会组织，支持、引导其参与社会管理和服务”。在此，我愿重申，中国政府高度 赞赏境外非政府组织的积极作用，欢迎和支持境外非政府组织来华活动。我们衷心希望境外在华非政府组织，能够更加积极地参与到中国政府和人民努力实现“十二 五”规划的进程中来，紧密结合中国经济社会发展的实际需求，遵守中国的法律法规，继续在扶贫、抗灾、环保、教育、医疗、慈善领域与中方合法组织开展务实合 作，为促进中外交流、推动中国经济社会发展作出新的贡献。中国政府也将加大力度为境外非政府组织在华开展友好交流与合作提供便利。

The year 2011 marks the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century and also the first year for the implementation of the 12th Five-Year Plan of China.The 12th Five-Year Plan sets out the main objectives and tasks for China’s economic and social development for the next five years and clearly states that we should “foster and manage according to law social organizations, and support them in participating in social management and services and provide guidance for them”.Here I would like to reaffirm that the Chinese government highly appreciates the positive role of overseas NGOs and welcomes and supports your activities in China.We sincerely hope that overseas NGOs will be more actively involved in the efforts of the Chinese goverment and people to implement the 12th Five-Year Plan in the light of the actual demands of China’s

economic and social development.We hope that overseas NGOs will abide by china’s laws and regulations and continue to conduct practical cooperation with lawful chinese organizations in poverty reduction, disaster relief, environmental

protection, education, medical care and charity, thus making fresh contribution to china’s exchanges with other countries and China’s economic and social development.The chinese government will do more to provide convenience for overseas NGOs to conduct friendly exchanges and cooperation in China.女士们，先生们，Ladies and Gentlemen,新年伊始，万象更新。我们期待着在新的一年里继续与各位朋友保持良好合作，共同为推动中国经济社会发 展、促进人民福祉作出更大的贡献！

With the beginning of the new year, everything takes on a new look.We look forward to continuing our good cooperation with our friends in the coming year and working together to contribute more to China’s economic and social development and the well-being of the people.现在，我提议：

为世界和平与发展，为中外双方的友好合作，为各位来 宾的健康，干杯！

I now propose a toast,To world peace and development,To our friendly cooperation, and

To your health,Cheers!

第四篇：2012美国第一夫人演讲稿

2012美国第一夫人演讲稿

When it comes to giving our kids the educaiton they deserve, 孩子们应受到很好的教育，说到这个问题

Barack knows that like me and like so many of you Barack懂得，就像我们中很多人一样

he never could've attended college without finacial aid 没有助学贷款他也不可能上大学

And believe it or not, when we were first married 你们相信吗，在我和他新婚之时

our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage 我们的助学贷款的压力甚至远大于房贷 We were so young, so in love, and so in debt 当时我们那么年轻，那么相爱，还负债累累

And that's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, 因此Barack竭尽全力提高助学金额度，同时压低利息

because he wants every young person to fulfill their promises 他希望让每一个年轻人都能大展宏图

and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt 不必为了求学而债台高筑

So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political-they're personal 归根究底，这些对他来说根本无关政治，推己及人而已

Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles 他深深知道困难家庭的处境

He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids 他懂得希望子孙过上好日子是怎样一种感受

Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it 他知道什么是美国梦，因为他曾亲身经历

and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity 他希望全国的每一个人都能有同样的机会

no matter who we are ,or where we're form, or what we look like, or who we love 无论身份、家乡、种族、信仰和情感

And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well 他相信当一个人努力奋斗，出人头地

and walked through that doorway of opportunity 在通过机遇的大门之后

you do not slam it shut behind you, you reach back 不会自私地关上门，而会转身伸出援手

and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.给予人们共同的机会一起成功

So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband 如果你要问我白宫这四年是否改变了我的丈夫

I can hoestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart 我可以坦诚相告，不论是看他的品格，信仰还是内心

Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago

此时此刻的他仍是彼时彼地我爱上的那个人

He's the same man who started his career by turing down high paying jobs 如今的他还会像当时一样，拒绝掉高薪工作

and instead working in struggling neighorbhoods where a steel plant had shut down 而深入社区基层，去帮助濒临倒闭的钢厂的职工和家属

fighting to rebuild those communications and get folks back to work 去重建那样的社区，帮助人们再度就业

because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, 因为对他来说，成功的标准并不是收入

it's about the difference you make in people's lives 而是你对他人生活的积极影响

He's the same man who, when our girls were first born, 他还是那个，当女儿刚降生时，would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, 会分分钟就跑到婴儿床边去查看女儿是否还在呼吸的那个父亲 proudly showing them off to everynone we knew 会抱着女儿去找所有的熟人显摆

That's the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night 他至今仍每晚和我跟女儿一起吃晚餐

patiently answering their questions about issues in the news 耐心地回答她们关于新闻和时事的问题

and strategizing about middle school friendships 为她们在学校交朋友的事儿出谋划算

That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk 每天深夜我都见他在办公桌旁边沉默着 poring over the letters people have sent him 翻看着一封封寄给他的信

The letter from the father stuggling to pay his bills 有的信来自艰难谋生维持家用的父亲

from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won't cover her care 有的信来自被保险公司弃之不管的癌入膏肓的女性

from the young people with so much promise but so few opputunities 有的信来自徒有大志却怀才不遇的年轻人

I see the concern in his eyes, and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me 我看到他为此忧心不已，他无比坚定地对我说

you won't believe what there folks are going through, Michelle, it's not right 你无法想象他们过着什么样的日子，米歇尔，这是不对的

We've got to keep working to fix this, we've got so much more to do 我们必须再接再厉去改变这些，我们做的还远远不够

I see how those stories-our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams 我看到那些故事，那些艰难困苦和那些梦想希望

I see how that's what drives Barack Obama every single day 正是那一切让奥巴马每日为之努力

And I didn't think that it was possible, but let me tell you, today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago 从前的我绝想不到今天我反而比四年前更爱我的丈夫了

even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met.甚至远胜于23年前我们相爱之时

Let me tell you why.I love that he's never forgotten how he started.我来告诉你为什么。我爱他因为他不忘本

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 我爱他，因为他会去履行承诺，困难当头他只会越挫越勇 I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as 'us' and 'them' 我爱他，因为他对人们一视同仁

第五篇：美国第一夫人DNC2012演讲词

美国第一夫人DNC2012演讲词

When it comes to give our children the education they deserve, Barack knows 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(当时我们那么年轻，那么相爱，还负责累累).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(大展宏图)and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren’t political——they are 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(因为他曾亲身经历), and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity no matter who we are, or where we’re from, 1 or what we look like, or who we love(无论身份，无论家乡，无论种族，无论信仰和情感).And he believes that when you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walk 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 this character, and his convictions, and his heart(不论他的品格，信仰还是内心), Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago.He is 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 is the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure 2 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(保险公司弃之不管), from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities(怀才不遇的年轻人).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 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 3 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(因为他不忘本).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”(不分你我).He doesn’t care whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above, he knows that we all love our country…and he’s always ready to listen to good ideas, he’s always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we’re all sweating it, when we’re worried that the bill won’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(我们任重而道远), 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 is 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, 5 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 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”(一个操心的妈妈), 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 for all sons and daughter, 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, hat belief that here in America, there’s always something better out there if you are willing to work for it, then we must work like never before and we must one 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.
