Remarks by the First Lady at Eastern Kentucky University

Commencement

Thank you so much.(Applause.)Oh, my goodness.Good evening.Thank you.I am just overwhelmed.And as an honorary degree holder, it is now my pleasure to say, Go Colonels!(Applause.)

I want to start by thanking President Whitlock for that very kind introduction, but more importantly, for his decades of service to this university and to this country.And it is my honor to be here on your last commitment.And I also want to thank your wife and your family, because I know that they have served right along with you.So congratulations.I am so glad to be here today.(Applause.)

I also want to recognize Governor Beshear and his wife and dear friend of ours, Jane, as well as Richmond Mayor Jim Barnes, who is here;all of the elected officials we have with us tonight;also the University Singers for those beautiful selections--just gifted individuals.And I don’t want to leave out Candace for her very inspiring remarks.And to the 14 men and women who just became the newest officers in the United States Army--yes.(Applause.)

And of course, I want to join in in recognizing all of these beautiful people in the stands today –-the family members who supported you all every step of the way.And since tomorrow is what? AUDIENCE: Mother's Day.MRS.OBAMA: I'm sure everybody is on their jobs, right? Got flowers ordered, everything? I want to give a special greeting to my fellow moms, and congratulate you for successfully coming out on the other side of adolescence in one piece.You’ve done it.You have succeeded in raising college graduates.I welcome any advice you have on how you got it right.But most of all--yes, indeed, to the moms, and the grandmoms, and the godmoms, and all the mom figures in our lives who keep us going.(Applause.)Thank you all.But most of all, I want to congratulate the stars of today’s show--the EKU Class of 2013!Yes!(Applause.)You all should proud, very proud.As the president said, this is a true milestone in life.And I can only imagine the mix of emotions that you must be feeling at this moment--the unbridled joy, the unmistakable sense of utter relief.(Laughter.)

You all went through so much to make it to this day--the highs and the lows, the triumphs, the challenges, the celebrations, the devastations--and I’m not just talking about your love lives, either.(Laughter.)I’m talking about all those papers you poured your heart into;all those caffeine-fueled all-nighters;those moments of anxiety as you set out on your own, looking to find new friends you clicked with and a new community to call your own.And for so many of you, I know that graduating from college was not a foregone conclusion.Some of you came from high schools that don’t send a lot of kids to college.Some of you had to work full time so that you could not only pay for your degree, but also support your family.And so many of you, as I have seen, are first in your families to graduate from college.So I know you faced all kinds of doubts and uncertainties when you first showed up on this campus.And I know a little bit about that from my own experiences.As you've heard, my parents were working folks who never earned a degree past high school.They didn’t have a lot of money, so sending me and my brother to school was a huge sacrifice for them.The vast majority of our tuition came from loans and grants, but let me tell you, every month, my father would write out his small check.He was determined to pay his portion of that tuition right on time, even if it meant taking out loans when he fell short.See, what our parents had to offer us was a whole lot of love.And while we could always call home and talk through the ups and downs of our lives with our parents, the truth is they couldn’t give us a lot more than that.They couldn’t give us a lot of guidance when it came to choosing classes and professors, or finding internships and jobs.So when I first set foot on college, my campus, it was all a bit of a mystery to me.And honestly, in the back of my mind, I couldn’t shake the voices from some of the people at my high school who told me that I could never make it at the school I’d chosen.When I first set foot on campus, oh, it all seemed so big and overwhelming.I didn’t even know where to start--how to pick out the right classes, how to even find the right buildings.So I began to think that maybe all those doubters might have been right.I didn’t even know how to furnish my own dorm room.I saw all these other kids moving in all sorts of couches and lamps and decorations for their rooms, but when I unpacked my belongings, I realized that I didn’t even have the right size sheets for my bed –-mine were way too short.So that first night, I stretched the sheets down as far as they could go, then I draped the covers over the foot of my bed so when I crawled into bed my legs were sticking out past the sheets, rubbing up against that cold, plastic mattress.And I slept that way for the entire freshman year.But when you come from a family like mine, that’s what you do.You make the most of what you’ve got.(Applause.)You use all that good common sense and you don’t make excuses.You work hard, and you always finish what you start.And no matter what, you give everybody a fair shake, and when somebody needs a hand, you offer yours.See, those were the gifts my parents gave me--their values.And I quickly learned that those gifts were far more valuable than money or connections.Because once I got to college, I found that when I applied all those values to my studies, I was able to set--develop an entirely new set of skills that I would use for the rest of my life--skills like resilience, problem solving, time management.I learned to turn stumbles and missteps into sources of motivation.A week with three tests and two papers wasn’t a reason to stress out, but a reason to plan.A negative comment from a professor in class wasn’t a reason to shut down, but a reason to ask even more questions.Most importantly, I realized that what really mattered wasn’t how much money my parents made or what those people in my high school said about me.What mattered was what was in my mind and what was in my heart.So my four years in school gave me the confidence to know that if I could make it on a college campus, I could make it anywhere.So graduates, this day is huge for kids like us--it's huge.So you should be incredibly proud.And I hope that you never lose sight of what brought you to this day-– those values that you came here with, and those skills and talents you developed while you were here.Because when you pair those two things together, you will be prepared for whatever comes next.And that brings me to an important question: What does come next?

As I thought about the journey you all are about to embark upon, it reminded me of a conversation I had with my daughter Malia--she's my oldest.This conversation we had when she was 10 years old.We were talking about college and her future, and I told her--I always tell my kids, I said, once you graduate from college, you cannot come back home again--cannot.(Laughter.)Now, of course I was joking, but I still don’t want here to know that.(Laughter.)But her response--she took it in--was one I’ll never forget.She said, well, Mom, where do you go after college? She said, I mean, literally, the day after you graduate? She said, because you’re not in school, and you can’t come home, so where do you go?

Now, I hope that all of you have an answer for that question today, and hopefully nobody is sleeping out in The Ravine.But I think there was also something profound about her question.Where are you going to go? And so today, in the spirit of my daughter’s question, I want to pose a few questions of my own as you begin the next chapter of your lives.And my first question is: Who are you going to be? And if you’ll notice, I’m not asking what are you going to do, but who are you going to be? I’m asking you about how you plan to live your life every day.How are you going to respond when you don’t get that job you had your heart set on?

For all of you who are going on to be teachers, what are you going to do if the students in your class next year just don’t respond to your lessons? For all of you going into business, how will you react when your boss gives you a goal that feels way too high?

These are the moments that define us--not the day you get the promotion, not the day you win teacher of the year, but the times that force you to claw and scratch and fight just to get through the day;the moments when you get knocked down and you’re wondering whether it’s even worth it to get back up.Those are the times when you’ve got to ask yourself, who am I going to be?

And I want to be clear, this isn’t just some vague platitude about building character.In recent years, we’ve actually been seeing a growing body of research that shows that skills like resilience and conscientiousness can be just as important to your success as your test scores, or even your IQ.For instance, West Point cadets who scored high on things like grit and determination were more likely to complete basic training than those who ranked high on things like class rank, SAT scores, and physical fitness.So what we’re seeing is that if you’re willing to dig deep, if you’re willing to pick yourself up when you fall, if you’re willing to work and work until your weaknesses become your strengths, then you’ll develop a set of skills that you can mold and apply to any situation you encounter, any job you might have, any crisis you might confront.But you’ve got to make that choice--who are you going to be? And then once you answer that question, I want you to answer a second question, and that is: How are you going to take those skills and experiences that you’ve gained and use them to serve others?

Here at Eastern, you have an extraordinary culture of service.Many of you spent your spring break volunteering in places like New Orleans and Washington D.C.Your journalism society donated all the money they had raised for a trip to a regional conference to a newspaper that had been hit by a tornado.Altogether, EKU students volunteered 107,000 hours of service, earning you a place on my husband the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.(Applause.)And on top of all of that, you have also given back to our country by opening your arms and welcoming our nation’s veterans into your community.And everyone here is involved in that--everyone.(Applause.)The administration awards college credit for military experience.Faculty members reach out to veterans in their classrooms.Students donate to the veterans’ book exchange every semester.So it is no wonder that two out of the last three years, Military Times EDGE magazine has named you the nation’s number one four-year school for our veterans.(Applause.)So you all should be very proud of this community.But graduates, you can’t stop serving once you leave here.Whether you’ve worn our country’s uniform or not, we’re all called to serve and to give back to those around us.And you don’t have to travel across the globe or even across the country to find ways to serve.All you have to do is take a look around your own community.Are there kids in your neighborhood who could use a mentor? Can you volunteer with an organization that serves military families? Can you pick up a few extra cans of vegetables and donate them to a food bank? I mean, these may seem so small, but they really make a difference.Because when you’ve worked hard and done well, as I said, the least you can do is reach back and give a hand to somebody else who could use that help.(Applause.)We can all find a way to open our arms and welcome folks around us into our lives and our communities.And that leads me to my third question: Who are you going to include in your life? The EKU community’s outreach to veterans offers part of the answer to this question.Now, just imagine what it’s like for these veterans to go from combat to campus.Just put yourself in their shoes for one second--one minute you’re wearing a rucksack, carrying a firearm, and facing gunfire in the middle of the desert;the next minute you’re wearing a backpack, carrying a textbook, and hanging out at Powell Corner.Your friends from the platoon are scattered across the country.Most of the people you see on a day-to-day basis have never experienced and could never imagine the things you’ve experienced.It would be so easy to feel isolated, like no one understands, like you’re an outsider.But here at Eastern, you didn’t let that happen.Instead, you reached out to these men and women.You made sure they felt comfortable and welcomed.And you’ve seen that your community has become stronger, even more vibrant because these men and women, because they are part of this community.So graduates, think about how this will apply to your own lives in the future.As you move on, you’re going to come across all kinds of people from all different places and faiths and walks of life.And you can choose to pass them by without a word, or you can choose to reach out to them, no matter who they are or where they come from or what ideas they might have.That’s what’s always made this country great –-embracing the diversity of experience and opinion that surrounds us everywhere we go.So I encourage you all--seek it out.Don’t just spend time with people your own age-– go to the local senior center and talk with folks who have a little life experience under their belts.You would be amazed at the wisdom they have to offer.Try visiting a different congregation every once in a while;you might just hear something in the sermon that stays with you.If you’re a Democrat, spend some time talking to a Republican.And if you’re a Republican, have a chat with a Democrat.(Applause.)Maybe you’ll find some common ground, maybe you won’t.But if you honestly engage with an open mind and an open heart, I guarantee you’ll learn something.And goodness knows we need more of that, because we know what happens when we only talk to people who think like we do--we just get more stuck in our ways, more divided, and it gets harder to come together for a common purpose.(Applause.)

But here's the thing, graduates--as young people, you all can--you can get past all that.You’ve got the freedom of an open mind, and thanks to today’s technology, you’re connected to each other and to the world like never before.So you can either choose to use those opportunities to continue fighting the fights that we’ve been locked in for decades, or you can choose to reject those old divisions and embrace folks with a different point of view.And if you do that, the latter, who knows where it might take you--more importantly, where it might take our country.So those are my three questions: Who do you want to be? How will you serve others? And who will you include in your lives? And let me just share just a little secret before I end--as someone who has hired and managed hundreds of young people over the course of my career, the answers to those questions, believe me, are far more important than you can ever imagine.Whether it was during my time as a lawyer, as an administrator at a university, a nonprofit manager, even now as First Lady, I’ve never once asked someone I was interviewing to explain a test score or a grade in a class--never.(Applause.)I’ve never once made a hire just because someone went to an Ivy League school instead of a state school--never.What I have looked for is what kind of person you are.Are you a hard worker? Are you reliable? Are you open to other viewpoints? Have you stepped outside of your own self-interest to serve others? Have you found a way to serve our country, whether in uniform or in your community?

Again and again, I’ve seen that those are the qualities that I want on my team, because those are the qualities that move our businesses and schools and our entire country forward.And just understand this--those are the qualities that you all already embody.They’re the values you learned from your parents, from the communities you grew up in.They’re the skills you developed here at EKU as you worked so hard to make it to this day.And today, more than ever before, that’s what the world needs.We need more people like you.So after you’ve come this far, after all of the ups and downs, I hope that it is no longer a question of whether or not you can make it in this world, but how and where you’re going to make your mark.And that brings me back to Malia’s original question: Where are you going to go? Graduates of this university have gone on to become generals in our military, some of our nation’s best CEOs and educators and law enforcement officers.Let me tell--Abraham Lincoln was a Kentucky kid;so were Muhammad Ali, George Clooney, Diane Sawyer.(Applause.)

So, graduates, make no mistake –-you can go anywhere you choose.So be proud, and never, ever doubt yourselves.Walk boldly on that road ahead, no matter where it takes you.And please spread those values everywhere you go.We need it more than ever before.So congratulations again, graduates.It has been a true pleasure.Best of luck on the road ahead.I love you all.(Applause.)

第二篇：米歇尔奥巴马2013俄勒冈州立大学毕业典礼演讲

MRS.OBAMA: Thank you so much.(Applause.)I can't tell you how much this means.I am so proud to receive this honorary degree from this phenomenal university.And I am thrilled to be here today to celebrate the Oregon State University class of 2012!Go Beaves!(Applause.)I want to start by thanking President Ray for that very kind introduction and for the degree.I also want to thank Provost Randhawa.I also want to recognize Mayor Julie Manning, who's here, and all of the outstanding faculty, staff, administrators and university leaders here at OSU.I also want to acknowledge Tonga as well, and all of the student speakers who are going to be on the stage today.We are so proud of you all.And of course, to the stars of today's show, the class of 2012--congratulations!(Applause.)We are all so proud of you.We are proud of how hard you've worked, how much you've grown, and all that you've achieved during your time here at Oregon State.And I know that none of you did this alone.As the President said earlier, you all are here today in large part because of those beautiful people up in the bleachers--the folks who pushed you, and believed in you, and answered the phone every time you called, even when you were just calling for money.(Laughter.)So, graduates, again, let's give another round of applause to your family, especially to all of the fathers out there on this beautiful Father's Day.Today is their day, too.(Applause.)Now, like all of you, I am here today because of my family.As you know, Craig Robinson, your men's basketball coach, is my big brother.(Applause.)And last fall, Craig called me up and he said that if I didn't speak at this year's commencement, he was going to tell mom on me.(Laughter.)And since our mother now lives with me, that threat actually still carries some weight.(Laughter.)But seriously, I'm not here today just because Craig has turned the Obama family into Beaver Believers, which he has.(Laughter and applause.)I am also here, proudly, because of everything this university is doing for this country.You have built one of the most sustainable campuses in America.You're conducting groundbreaking research on everything from agriculture, to nanotechnology, to childhood obesity.You are serving others in so many ways--tutoring children, joining our armed forces, fighting hunger and disease here in America and around the world.So let me just say, I can see why Craig feels so at home here at OSU.Because in so many ways, the values you all embody are the values that he and I were raised with.Craig and I grew up on the South Side of Chicago, and our family was very close--I mean literally close, real close.My mom, my dad, Craig and I, we lived in a little-bitty apartment, and for years Craig and I shared a bedroom divided by a wooden partition to give us the illusion of separate rooms.And at night, Craig and I would whisper to each other through the cracks in that partition until one of us feel asleep, or mom yelled and said, shut up, be quiet--one or the other.(Laughter.)But while we didn't have much space, our little home was bursting with love.We spent lots of time together as a family laughing and sharing stories at dinner each night;playing board games, card games for hours, huddled around the kitchen table.We enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, like getting our report cards because good grades meant pizza for dinner--that was a highlight.Trying to hold in our giggles as Craig put shaving cream on my dad's glasses while he napped.Sleeping on the back porch on hot summer nights when the temperature in our little apartment became unbearable.But it wasn't all fun and games growing up.Our parents were big believers in everyone doing their part around the house.Craig often compared Saturday chores to boot camp.And my parents were even more serious about our academics.My mom taught Craig and I to read long before kindergarten started, and she spent hours volunteering in our neighborhood public school, making sure we got the education she knew we deserved.See, that was the kind of childhood we had.And one day--I will never forget, when my brother was about 10, he asked my dad a simple question.He said, “Dad, are we rich?” To answer this question, my dad took his next paycheck from his job at the city water plant, and instead of depositing that check, he cashed it in small bills.He then came home and dumped out all that money on the kitchen table.Craig was impressed--with all that money, he thought, we must be rich.But then my Dad started explaining where all the money went each month: little bit for rent, that much for gas, this much for groceries.And by the time he was done, there wasn't a penny left on that table.And Craig was shocked, and so was I.I mean, here we were, two kids growing up in a family that was just barely working class, but we were convinced that we were wealthy.We knew it.And, graduates, that's what I'd like to talk with you about today.I'd like to talk about what Craig and I learned from our family about leading a rich life no matter how much money you have.And while there are plenty of lessons I could share, there are three that I'd like to emphasize today.The first: No matter what struggles or setbacks you face in your life, focus on what you have, not on what you're missing.My dad taught us this lesson every day by how he lived his life.My dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when my brother and I were still very young.And as he got sicker it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to dress himself in the morning.My dad had been an athlete all of his life;he was a boxer and a swimmer in high school.So it must have been hard for him to feel his body declining--to go from being an active, vibrant young man to barely being able to make it up the stairs.But if he was in pain, if he was at all disappointed with his fate, he never let on.He never stopped smiling and laughing.And even as he struggled to prop himself up on his crutches to teach us to catch a ball, or hold a bat, or throw a punch, no matter how bad he was feeling, he hardly ever missed a day of work because he was determined to be our family's provider and to give me and Craig the kind of opportunities he'd never dreamed of for himself.And there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about how our dad--and how much he sacrificed for me and Craig to be the people we are today.And today, as First Lady, I see that same spirit, that same kind of sacrifice, in people I meet all across this country.I see it in parents like my dad, struggling to support their families.I see it in students like all of you, working so hard to get an education.I see it in young people who are serving this country in uniform, facing challenges that most of us couldn't even imagine.And I've seen this firsthand--the sacrifices that our American heroes are making.As First Lady, I've had the extraordinary privilege of visiting wounded warriors in military hospitals all across this country.Many of them are your age or younger, and they have suffered terrible injuries.Some of them have lost a limb--some of them have lost two limbs, some three.They've endured dozens of surgeries;they've spent months learning to walk again and talk again.But despite the challenges, they persevere.They aren't looking back.They aren't dwelling on what they've lost.Instead, they are making plans for their lives, they're reimagining their futures.They tell me that they're not just going to walk again, they're going to run and they're going to run marathons.I recently met a young Navy Lieutenant named Brad Snyder who'd been blinded by an IED explosion in Afghanistan.He competed in this year's Warrior Games as a runner and a swimmer.And of his service he said this--he said, “I am not going to let my blindness build a brick wall around me.I'd give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.” And, graduates, more than anything else, that will be the true measure of your success--not how well you do when you're healthy and happy and everything is going according to plan, but what you do when life knocks you to the ground and all your plans go right out the window.In those darkest moments, you will have a choice: Do you dwell on everything you've lost? Or do you focus on what you still have, and find a way to move forward with passion, with determination, and with joy? And I know that many of you in this graduating class have already faced this choice in your own lives--Tonga shared with us today.But there is also one of today's graduates, Vanessa Vasquez.Vanessa's parents are agricultural workers with a grade school education, and she came to Oregon State determined to build a better life for her four-month-old daughter.In addition to being a single mom, she's juggled a full course load and a part-time job.But it all paid off, and today she's receiving her degree in Construction Engineering and Management.(Applause.)Yes, indeed.Her advice to other young people is very simple.She says, “with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.” And then there's another member of the class of 2012, Nicolas Sitts, who's earning his degree in Chemical Engineering.I understand that as a member of OSU's Solar Vehicle Team, Nicolas spent two years painstakingly building a solar car.But when he took it out for a test drive last summer, it caught fire and exploded, and Nicolas sustained second and third degree burns on his arm, face and leg.But instead of throwing in the towel, within a month, the team was back at work, building another, hopefully less explosive car.(Laughter.)Vanessa and Nicolas and the OSU Solar Team didn't give up when things got hard.Instead, they just dug deeper, and worked harder, and refused to give up on the success that they dreamed of.And that actually brings me to the second lesson I want to share about leading a rich life, and that is to define success on your own terms.Now, growing up, my parents always told me and Craig to be true to ourselves.But really, when you're a kid, it's hard to know what that means, right? And as you grow older, often it's just easier to grab for those gold stars and try to get that brass ring.And Craig and I both know this from experience.After graduating from college, we did everything we thought we should do to be successful--Craig went to business school, I went to law school, we got prestigious jobs at an investment bank and me at a law firm.We soon had all the traditional markers of success: the fat paycheck, the fancy office, the impressive lines on our resumés.But the truth is, neither of us was all that fulfilled.I didn't want to be up in some tall office building writing legal memos.I wanted to be down on the ground helping the folks I grew up with.I was living the dream, but it wasn't my dream.And Craig felt the same way, unbeknownst to me.So eventually we quit those corporate jobs.I went to work in the mayor's office;Craig got a job coaching basketball.And we both took salary cuts that made our mother cringe.(Laughter.)But we were excited about our new careers.We looked forward to going to work every morning, and we both realized that success isn't about how your life looks to others, it's about how it feels to you.We realized that being successful isn't about being impressive, it's about being inspired.And that's what it means to be your true self.It means looking inside yourself and being honest about what you truly enjoy doing.Because graduates, I can promise you that you will never be happy plodding through someone else's idea of success.Success is only meaningful--and enjoyable--if it feels like your own.But of course, a successful career alone does not make for a rich life.As you've all learned from the friends you've made and the relationships you've formed here at OSU, what makes life truly rich are the people you share it with.And that brings me to the final lesson I want to offer today, and that is, wherever you go, whatever you do, don't leave behind any unfinished business with the people you love.You see, our dad died of complications from his MS when I was in my mid-twenties.And let me tell you, for months I felt like I couldn't breathe.I had this physical sense of grief, this emptiness in my life that I just couldn't fill.But as hard as it was to lose my dad, and as much as I still miss him every day, I knew that I had never missed a chance to tell my Dad I loved him, and he'd always done the same for me.And whenever Craig and I saw him struggling to walk and we worried that life was getting too hard for him, my Mom would always reassure us that he was so proud of us, so proud to be our father that he felt like the luckiest guy ever to walk the earth.And all of that gave me a sense of peace--a sense that I had no unfinished business with my Dad.And that's what allowed me to move forward.So graduates, as you make your way in the world, I urge you not to leave behind any unfinished business.If you're in a fight with someone, make up.If you're holding a grudge, let it go.If you hurt someone, apologize.If you love someone, let them know.And don't just tell people that you love them, show them.And that means showing up.It means being truly present in the lives of the people you care about.“Liking” them on Facebook doesn't count--(laughter)--nor does following them on Twitter.(Laughter.)What counts is making the time to be there in person.Because I can promise you that years from now, you will not remember the texts you've exchanged with your friends here at OSU, but you will remember how they cheered you on at your game, right? You will remember how they brought you chocolate and spent hours comforting you when your boyfriend or girlfriend dumped you.What jerks.(Laughter.)You will remember all the hours spent diligently studying in the library--that one's for the parents.(Laughter.)But seriously, those are the memories that you'll carry with you for the rest of your life.Those are the experiences that make you who you are.And that is as true for me today as it was back when Craig and I were growing up in that little apartment in Chicago.You see, when I come out here to Corvallis and I visit my family, I'm not the First Lady.I'm Coach Robinson's little sister.I'm “Miche” to Craig and to my niece and nephews.I sleep on the pullout couch in Craig's guest room, and my daughters pile into the living room with their cousins for a sleepover.It reminds me of old times with everyone huddled together in the kitchen, laughing and teasing and driving each other crazy, telling stories late into the night.And just like when we were little, Craig and I feel very, very rich.So graduates, that is my wish for all of you today.I wish for you a life rich in all the things that matter.I wish for you work that inspires you.I wish for you experience--those experiences that help you learn and grow.I wish for you people who love you and support you every step of the way.And I can tell from the energy in this stadium you have all that, and you will have more.So congratulations again to all of you on all that you've achieved.And now, the wind has started--(laughter)--so it's time for me to end.Thank you all, and God bless.

第三篇：米歇尔·奥巴马在北京大学演讲

Michelle Obama's speech in Peking university 米歇尔·奥巴马在北京大学演讲

Ni hao.It is such a pleasant and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university„Thank you so much for having me.你好。很高兴，也很荣幸来到这里，在这所伟大的大学和你们共聚一堂。非常感谢你们邀请我。

And before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words about Malaysian(sic)Airline Flight 370.在我今天开始之前，代表我自己和我的丈夫，我想就马来西亚航空公司的MH370航班简短说两句。

As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.想我丈夫说的那样，美国正在提供尽可能多的资源帮助搜寻。

And please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.而且，请你们知道，在这困难的时刻，我们的心念和祈祷和飞机上的人的家属和亲人们同在。

And with that, I want to start by recognizing our news Ambassador to China Ambassador Baucus„President Wang„Chairman Zhu„Vice President Li.Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the Stanford center„President Sexton from New York University which has an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai„and John Thorton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University„thank you all so much for joining us.此外，我还想介绍我们信任的驻华大使鲍卡斯大使……王主席……朱校长……李副校长，居勒(Cueller)主任、欧（Oi）教授和斯坦福中心……纽约大学（NYC）的萨克斯顿（Sexton）主席在上海有一个顶尖的海外留学项目……还有约翰·索顿（John Thorton）清华大学国际领袖计划的负责人……感谢你们出席。And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among your people like you across the globe.我今天来到这里，是因为我知道，我们的未来，取决于全世界像你们这样的年轻人之间的联系。

That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don't just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.这也是为什么我们夫妇在国外访问时，不只参观宫殿、议会和会晤国家元首。我们也来到学校，与像你们一样的学生见面。

Because we believe that relationships between nations are not just about relationship between governments or leaders„they’re about relationships between people, particularly our young people.因为我们相信，国与国之间的关系不只是政府或领导人之间的关系，它们是人民间―特别是年轻人之间的关系。

So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity f or students„but also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.因此，我们认为海外留学项目不只是为学生提供的教育机会，还是美国外交政策至关重要的组成部分。

You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.你们看，通过现代技术奇迹，我们的世界比以往任何时候都更多地联系在一起。Ideas can cross ocean with the click of a button.思想可以通过点击按钮跨越海洋。全球各地的公司可以进行业务往来和相互竟争。我们可以与各大洲的人们通过短信、电子邮件和Skype进行沟通。So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester-it’s quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.因此，出国留学不只是以开心的方式度过一个学期——它正迅速成为全球化经济中取得成功的关键。

Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school„it’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your bordersit’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.我想要说的是，出国留学绝不仅是改善你们自己的未来，它也关乎塑造你们的国家、关乎我们共有的世界的未来。

Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our timeyou do it by improving yourself in someone’s culture„by learning each other’s stories„and by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.这就是为什么年轻人到彼此国家学习和生活是如此重要。因为这是你们培养合作习惯的途径一一你们通过融入不同的文化，通过了解彼此的故事，通过跨越常常隔膜我们的成见和误解，来做到这一点。

And that’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s successbecause I want young people in America to be part of this visit.这就是为什么我每天都要发一篇旅行博文，里面有我这次中国之行的视频和照片―因为我希望美国的年轻人能成为这次访问的一部分。

And that’s why it is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media.这确实是技术的力量——它打开整个世界，让我们接触到以前根本难以想象的思想和创新。这也是为什么信息和思想在互联网上、并通过媒体自由流动是如此重要。

Because that’s how we discover the truth...that’s how we learn what’s really happening in our communities, our country and our world.因为那是我们发现真理的途径，那使我们得以了解我们的社群、我们的国家和我们的世界到底在发生着什么。

And that’s how we decide which values and ideas we think are best-by questioning and debating them vigorously„by listening to all sides of every argument...and by judging for ourselves.那也是我们何以决定哪些价值观和思想是最好的―通过有力地对它们提出疑问，进行辩论，倾听各方观点，并做出自己的判断。

My husband and I are on the receiving and of plenty of questioning and criticizing from our media and our fellow citizens...and it’s not always easy...but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.相信我，我知道这是一个令人困惑而沮丧的过程。有大量来自我们媒体和公民的质疑和批评，而我丈夫和我位于接收端。这并非易事，但我们认为它的重要无可取代。

Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.因为我们一次又一次地看到，当所有公民的声音和观点都能得到倾听之时，国家会变得更加强大和繁荣。

But when it comes to expressing yourself freely, and worshipping as your choose, and having open access to information – we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.正像我的丈夫曾说过的，我们尊重其他文化和社刽的独特性。然而，就自由的表达自我、选择自己所崇拜的东西，以及享有信息公开而言―我们相信那是地球上每个人与生俱来的权利。

And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values.我们相信，所有人都应享有实现自己最大潜能的机会，正如我在美国所能做到的那样。同时，当你在中国这里以及在美国了解新的文化、结交新的朋友之时，你整个人就是那些价值观的鲜活代表。

So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, you’re not just changing your own life„you’re changing the lives of everyone you meet.所以我保证，通过出国留学，你们不仅在改变自己的人生，也在改变你所遇到的每个人的人生。

As the great American President John F.Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in theU.S., “I think they teach more than they learn.” 正像伟大的美国总统约翰·肯尼迪谈到留学美国的外国学生时说的那样，“我想他们所教的比他们学到的还要多。”而对出国学习的年径美国人来说也是一样的。

And every day, you remind us of just how much we can achieve if we reach across borders„and learn to see ourselves in each other„and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.对世界而言，你们所有人都是最好的美国面孔，和最好的中国面孔。每一天，你们都在向世界展示你们国家的能量、创造力、乐观，以及对未来坚定不移的信念。每一天，你们都在提醒我们，通过跨越国界，学会在彼此身上看到我们自己，和用共同的决心应对我们共同的挑战。

And I hope you’ll keep teaching each other„and learning from each other„and building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.所以，我希望你们都会不断寻求这样的经历。我希望你们能继续受益于彼此，互相学习，同时建立起友谊的纽带，而这些纽带能在未来数十年丰富你们的生活，也丰富我们的世界。

You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.你们大家都有这么多可以给予世界，我热切期待着你们未来的成就。Thank you so much.Xie Xie.非常感谢。谢谢。

请相信，在这个非常艰难的时刻，我们的心和航班上人员的家属和亲人在一起，我们为他们祈祷。

Baucus, President Wang, Chairman Zhu, Vice President Li, Director Cuelluer, Professor Oi and the Stanford Center, President Sexton from New York University which is an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai, and John Thorton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University.Thank you all for joining us.But most of all, I want to thank all of the students who are here today.And I particularly want to thank Eric Schafer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was a powerful symbol of everything that I want to talk with you about today.See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, Mr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the globe.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don't just visit palaces and parliament and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations are not just about relationships between governments or leaders, they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students, but

使，鲍卡斯大使，王校长，朱主席，李副校长，居勒(Cuelluer)主任、欧（Oi）教授和斯坦福中心，纽约大学（NYC）的萨克斯顿（Sexton）校长，该校在上海开设了一个优秀的海外留学项目，还有清华大学全球领袖项目主任约翰·索顿（John Thorton），由衷的感谢大家的到来。

最重要的是，我要感谢今天所有到场的同学们。我要特别感谢埃里克·谢弗和朱轩浩精彩的英中介绍。

这绝佳地诠释了我今天要和大家聊的全部话题。

你们看，通过学习彼此的语言，通过展现对彼此文化的好奇心和尊重，谢弗先生和朱女士以及你们大家正在搭建理解的桥梁。这些桥梁会带来更多的丰硕成果。

我今天来到这里，是因为我知道，我们的未来，取决于全世界像你们这样的年轻人之间的联系。

这也是为什么我们夫妇在国外访问时，不只参观宫殿、议会和会晤国家元首。我们也来到学校，与像你们一样的学生见面。

also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button.Companies can do business and complete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email and Skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester, it’s quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important, it’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borderswhether it’s climate change, or economic opportunity, or the spread of nuclear weapons, these are shared challenges.And no one country can confront them alone.The only way forward is together.That’s why it’s so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s

策至关重要的组成部分。

通过现代技术奇迹，我们的世界比以往任何时候都更多地联系在一起。思想可以通过点击按钮跨越海洋。全球各地的公司可以进行业务往来和相互竞争。我们可以与各大洲的人们通过短信、电子邮件和Skype进行沟通。

因此出国留学，不只是以开心的方式度过一个学期，它正迅速成为全球化经济中取得成功的关键。

因为要走在当今职场的前沿，只在学校里取得学分或获得好成绩是远远不够的，还应拥有国外的真实体验，体验完全不同的语言、文化和社会。

正如中国的一句古话所说：―读万卷书，不如行万里路‖

我想要说的是，出国留学绝不仅是改善你们自己的未来，它也关乎塑造你们的国家、关乎我们共有的世界的未来。

因为我们这个时代的决定性挑战一一无论是气侯变化、经济机遇，还是核武器扩散一一这些都是我们共同的挑战。

没有任何一个国家能够单独应对它们，唯一的出路就是共同携手。这就是为什么年轻人到彼此国家学习和生活是如此重要。环球英语网校www.xiexiebang.com

countries.Because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation.You do it by immersing yourself in one another’s culture, by learning each other’s stories, by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.That’s how you come to understand how much we all share.That’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s success-that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in America, that clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in China, that the architecture of an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.And that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.That’s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.She and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals, and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was Fulbright Scholar in the U.S.last year, and he reported, and this is a quote from him.He said ―The most memorable experiences were with my American friends.‖

These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad, and I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.China is currently the fifth most popular

因为这是你们培养合作习惯的途径一一你们通过融入不同的文化，通过了解彼此的故事，通过跨越常常隔膜我们的成见和误解，来做到这一点。

这是你们了解到我们共享多少东西的途径。这是你们认识到我们的成功惠及彼此的途径。在北京发现的医疗方法可以挽救在美国的生命，来自加州硅谷的清洁能源技术可以改善中国的环境，西安一座古老寺庙的架构可激发达拉斯或者底特律新建筑设计的灵感。

这是你们与同学、实验伙伴建立起的联系能带来更多收获的时候。

阿比盖尔·柯普林（Abigail Coplin）成为北京大学美国富布赖特学者（American Fullbright Scholar）的时候，她与同事们在首屈一指的科学杂志上共同发表论文，建立研究伙伴关系，这段关系在他们各自回国后还长久持续着。

来自北京大学的牛可（Niu Ke）教授是去年的美国富布赖特学者。我引述下他的话，―最难忘的经历是和我的美国朋友们在一起。‖

这些长久的纽带代表留学的真正价值，我很兴奋，越来越多的学生正得到这样的机会。

destination for Americans studying abroad.And today, the highest number of exchange students in the U.S.are from China.But still, too many students never have this chance, and some that do are hesitant to take it.They may feel like studying abroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds of universities.Or they may think to themselves, ―Well, that sounds fun, but how will it be useful in my life?‖ And believe me I understand where these young people are coming from, because I felt the same way back when I was in college.You see, I came from a working class family, and it never occurred to me to study abroad.Never.My parents didn’t get a chance to attend college.So I was focused on getting into a university and earning my degree, so that I could get a good job and support myself and help my family.And I know for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfway around the world just isn’t possible.And that’s not acceptable, because study abroad shouldn’t be just for students from certain backgrounds.Our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds because it is that diversity that truly will change the face of our relationships.目的地。今天的美国，来自中国的交换生数量最多。

尽管如此，太多的学生从来没有这样的机会，而一些有机会的学生则犹豫是否要抓住它。

他们可能觉得留学只是有钱的学生或来自某类大学的学生的事。或者，他们可能心里想，―嗯，这听起来很有趣，但它在我的生活中真正有多大用处？‖

我理解这些年轻人，因为我在上大学时也有同样的感受。你们知道，我来自一个工薪阶层家庭，我甚至从来没想过留学。我的父母没有上过大学，所以我努力想要进入大学并获得学位，这样我就可以得到一份工作来养活自己，帮助我的家庭。

对于很多像我一样靠奋斗才能读得起一个常规学期的年轻人来说，支付世界另一边的机票或生活费实在是不可能的。

这是不可接受的，因为留学不应仅属于有一些背景的学生。

我们希望在所有种族和社会经济背景的人之间建立联系，因为正是这样的多样性，在改变着我们之间的关系。让我环球英语网校www.xiexiebang.com

So we believe that diversity makes our country vibrant and strong, and our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of America to the world.That’s why, when my husband visited China back in 2009, he announced our 100,000 Strong Initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in China.And this year, as we mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the normalization of relations between our countries, the U.S.Government actually supports more American students in China than in any other country in the world.We’re sending high school, college and graduate students here to study Chinese.We’re inviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American schools.We’re providing free online advising for students in China who want to study in the U.S, and the U.S.-China Fulbright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.The private sector is stepping up as well.For example, Steve Schwarzman, who is the head of an American company called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship.And today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in China.Take the example of Royale Nicholson who’s from Cleveland, Ohio.She attends New York University’s program in Shanghai.Like me, Royale is a first generation college student, and her mother worked two fulltime

们的国家如此充满活力和强大，我们的海外留学项目应向世界反映美国的真正精神。

这就是为什么在2009年我的丈夫访问中国时，宣布了我们的10万项倡议，该倡议旨在增加留学中国的美国学生的数量和多样性。

而今年，在我们纪念中美两国关系正常化三十五周年之际，美国政府实际上支持更多的美国学生在中国学习。

我们正将高中生、大学生和研究生送到这里来学习中文，我们正邀请中国老师到美国的教授普通话，我们为希望留学美国的中国学生提供免费的在线咨询。美中富布赖特项目仍在加强，现有3000多名学友。

私人部门也在加紧工作。例如，美国黑石公司的主管斯蒂夫·施瓦茨曼正在资助清华大学模仿罗德奖学全（Rhode Scholarship）的一个新项目。

今天，来自不同背景的学生正在中国学习。以来自俄亥俄州克利夫兰的罗亚尔·尼克尔森（Royale Nicholson）为例，她参加了纽约大学在上海的项目。像我一样，罗亚尔是家里的第一代大学生。她母亲做两份全职工作，而她父亲晚上工作以维持他们的家庭。谈到她在上海环球英语网校www.xiexiebang.com

jobs while her father worked nights to support their family.And of her experience in Shanghai, Royale said, and this is her quote.She said ―This city oozes persistence and inspires me to accomplish all that I can.‖ And happy birthday, Royale.It was her birthday yesterday.And then there’s Philmon Haile from the University of Washington whose family came to the U.S.as refugees from Eritrea when he was a child.Of his experience studying in China, he said, ―study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we move into a new era of citizen diplomacy.‖

―A new era of citizen diplomacy‖-I couldn’t have said it better myself, because that’s really what I’m talking about.I’m talking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back in America, you don’t need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.I tell them that if you have an internet connection in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.That’s why I’m posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences here in china, because I want young people in America to be part of this visit.That’s really the power of technologyby questioning and debating them vigorously, by listening to all sides of an argument, and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know how this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens, and it’s not always easy, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies.But when it comes to expressing yourself freely, and worshipping as you choose, and having open access to information – we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in the United States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the

所以，我希望你们都会不断寻求这样的经历。我希望你们能继续受益于彼此，互相学习，同时建立起友谊的纽带，而这些纽带能在未来数十年丰富你们的生活，也丰富我们的世界。
