第一篇：米歇尔奥巴马在迪拉德大学年毕业典礼上的演讲稿

米歇尔 奥巴马在俄勒冈州立大学2012年毕业典礼上的演讲

非常感谢！此刻我的心情无法言喻,能够在这所优秀的大学获得名誉学位,我深感荣幸!能来这里参加2012年年度毕业典礼,我也感到受宠若惊!出发吧!海狸们!首先我要感谢雷校长,感谢她的精彩引介还有这项学位的殊荣,也要感谢蓝达瓦教务长,以及朱莉.曼宁市长她也来到了现场,还有所有杰出的教员和管理者们,还有俄勒冈州立大学的领导们。我也要向汤佳(学生会主席)女士,以及所有即将在这个讲台上,发表演说的学生们致敬!我们为你们而倍感自豪!当然要对今天的明星毕业班的同学们说一声,祝贺你们!我们为你们深感骄傲!我们为你们所付出的努力,以及取得的进步而感到骄傲!包括你们在这里所取得的各种成就.我知道你们并不是一个人在努力,就像校长之前曾说过的那样,你们今天能够出现在这里,很大程度上要归功于看台那边那些美丽的人.那些勉励你们信任你们,每次都会接听你们电话的人,即使是在你们要钱的时候。因此即将毕业的同学们,让我们再次将热烈的掌声送给你们的家人吧!尤其所有的父亲们,恰逢父亲节来临之际,今天也是他们的节日。和你们一样，我也是因为家人而出现在这里。大家知道的克雷格.罗宾逊,你们的男篮教练也是我的兄长。

去年秋天克雷格打电话给我说，如果我不来今年的毕业典礼做演讲的话，他会向妈妈告状的，考虑到家母还和我们生活在一起，这种威胁还是管点用的。但说实话我今天能来这里，不只是因为克雷格让奥巴马一家成为海狸队的信徒，而他也做到了-----我今天能够骄傲地站在这里，也是由于这所大学为国家所贡献的一切。你们缔造了美国历史最悠久的学府，无论是农业还是纳米技术领域，无论是儿童事业或者肥胖症研究方面，你们都有开创性的研究成果。你们在以各种方式服务着大众，教导孩子们和我们一起，与美国和全世界的饥饿和疾病抗争。因此我只想说，我理解了为什么克雷格可以在这找到家的感觉。因为从多方面来讲你们所体现出的价值观，这是我们两个人所推崇的。

克雷格和我在芝加哥南部长大，我们家人之间亲密无间，我指的是字面上的亲近，我们住得非常近，妈妈爸爸克雷格还有我，我们四个人住在一间非常小的公寓里面。有很多年克雷格和我同住一个房间，到了夜晚克雷格和我两个人，就会通过隔断的缝隙说悄悄话，直到其中一个人睡着。或者等妈妈对我们喊，闭嘴安静点。反正跑不出这两句吧！然而当我们的居住空间捉襟见肘之时，我们的小家处处充满了爱。我们会有大量的时间和家人一起度过，有说有笑共进晚餐。在餐桌上下棋打扑克，一玩就是好几个小时，我们享受着生活中点滴欢乐。例如拿回成绩单，成绩好的话晚餐就会有披萨饼吃，这是很诱人的哦！在克雷格把刮胡泡沫涂抹到爸爸的眼镜片上时，我们会尽力不让自己笑出声来。在仲夏夜当我们的小公寓的温度实在难熬时，我们会睡在后院的长廊里，但成长的轨迹并非总是轻松愉快的，我们的父母对每位家庭成员的责任是无比信赖的。克雷格总是将周六的家务视作新兵的训练，而我的父母非常重视对我们的教育。在进幼儿园之前我妈妈就在教我和克雷格识字了，她在附近的公立学校做志愿工，确保我们接受的是正当教育，这就是我们的童年。令我难忘的实在我哥哥十岁那年的一天。他向爸爸问了一个简单的问题。他说，爸爸，我们是有钱人吗？为了回答他的问题爸爸拿出了这个月的薪水支票，他在自来水厂上班，而他并没有直接把钱存起来，而是把他们取成零钱，然后回到家中把所有的钱都倒在了餐桌上面。克雷格吃了一惊，看到这么多钱他觉得我们一定是有钱人。不过爸爸接着就开始解释，这些钱每个月会花在哪里，这些用来支付房租，那些是煤气费，这些是用来买日用品的。当爸爸讲完的时候，桌子上一分钱也没剩下。这时克雷格惊呆了我也一样，我是说这就是我们当时的情况，一个抚养着两个孩子的家庭，就是最普通不过的工薪阶层。但我们相信我们很富有，我们深信不疑。同学们这就是今天我要将给你们的，是我和克雷格从家人那里学到的，如何去拥有充实的生命。不管你有多少物质财富。尽管我有大量的经验可以分享，但今天我要强调三点： 第一无论你面临多大的挫折与竞争，要专注你所拥有的而不是你所失去的。爸爸每天都在教导我们他的生活之道。在我和哥哥还很小的时候，爸爸就被诊断出患有多发性硬化症，当病情加重时他几乎无法走路，每天早上起床都会花更多的时间去穿衣服。我爸爸一直都是运动健将，中学时他是拳击手也是游泳运动员，因此对于机能的衰退他内心一定非常难受，即使他对命运彻底失望他也绝不会表现出来。他总是面带笑容而且.....即使是在艰难地柱起拐杖的时候，也会叫我们如何接球如何握球如何出拳。不管感觉多么不好，他几乎从来因此而耽误过每天的工作，因为他早已做过决定要担负起养家的责任，而且要为我和克雷格创造机会而奉献一切铭记于心。今天身为第一夫人我看到了同样的精神，同样的奉献精神，体现在我所见过的所有国人的身上。我在家长们的身上看到了它，而对看那些我们多数人无法想象的挑战。我首先看到的，就是我们美国英雄正在践行的奉献精神，身为第一夫人，我被特派去探视那些负伤的士兵，他们在国内多地的军队医院中疗伤。他们当中有很多人和你们同龄或比你们年轻，他们遭受了严重的创伤，有些人失去了四肢中的一只，有人失去了两只甚至三只。他们经受了多次外科手术，他们需要花几个月的时间学习再次行走与讲话，但不管他们的挑战是什么他们始终不屈不饶，他们不会退缩，他们不会为自己所失去的而感伤。相反他们正在计划开始新的生活，他们反复憧憬着自己的未来。他们对我说他们不仅要再次走起来，他们还要跑起来，而且要去跑马拉松。不久前我见过一名年轻的海军上尉，他叫布拉德 斯莱德，在阿富汗战争期间他被土制炸弹炸瞎了双眼。在今年的战士比赛中，他以跑步运动员和游泳运动员的身份参赛。在他服役期间他说过如下这番话，我不会让失明的现实成为挡在我前面的一堵墙，我会给自己的双眼一百次机会，去做我曾经做过的事，以及我依然能做的事。同学们最重要的是，检验你们成功的真正准绳，并不是你们健康快乐，以及一切如己所愿的时候做得有多好，而是当命运将你击垮。一切都不在自己掌控之时你会做些什么？在那些最黑暗的时期你可以去选择，你会对自己所失去的一切无法释怀吗？还是始终专注于自己依然拥有的一切，并且去寻找激情饱满，坚决果断而充满快乐的前行方式呢？我知道你们毕业生中，有很多人已经面临了自身命运的抉择。

汤佳今天和我们分享了一些经验，然而还有一位毕业生他叫瓦内萨

瓦斯奎兹，瓦内萨的父母都是农民，只有小学文化程度，而她来到俄勒冈州立大学，为了能够让自己那四个月大的女儿过上更美好的生活。除了是一位单身母亲，她还参加了全日制课程并有一份兼职工作，但所有的努力都没有枉费。今天她将获得的是自己的建筑工程管理学位，她的建议......没错应该为她鼓掌，她对其他年轻人的建议非常简单，她说道：只要努力奋斗勇于奉献一切皆有可能！在2012年度毕业生中还有另一位同学，尼古拉斯 西茨他取得了化学工程学位，我了解到他作为这所大学太阳能车队的一员，尼古拉斯花了两年的时间，煞费苦心地制作了一辆太阳能车，但是当他去年夏天进行试驾的时候，车身起火并发生了爆炸，尼古拉斯的手臂面部及腿部，遭受了二到三级的烧伤，但是他并没有就此放弃，在不到一个月内这个团队又开始了工作，去制造另一台爆炸系数可能会低一些的车。瓦内萨和尼古拉斯还有太阳能车队，在遇到困难的时候他们都没有放弃，相反他们更加投入更加努力，拒不放弃那梦寐以求的成功，这就是我今天要和大家分享的第二点。关于如何拥有一个充实的生命，那就是要用自己的标准定义成功。在成长的轨迹中我的父母经常教育我们，要对自己真诚，不过当你还是个孩子时很难去理解其中的含义。随着年龄的增长，通常会比较容易去理解心中的疑惑，并体会到其中的真正含义。我和克雷格都在实践中得以领会。从大学毕业后，任何觉得有成功感的事情我们都会去做，克雷格去了商学院而我去了律师学院。我们都找到了体面的工作，他进了一家投资银行而我去了律师事务所。我们很快就获得了那些成功的传统标志，丰厚的薪水、优越的办公环境，个人简历中那几行令人难忘的工作经历，篇二：米歇尔 奥巴马2013年在东肯塔基大学演讲稿(中文)米歇尔 奥巴马在东肯塔基大学2013年毕业典礼演讲（中文稿）非常感谢你们，我的天，晚上好，谢谢你们，我有些受宠若惊了，作为

荣誉学位获得者，我要很荣幸地说，加油吧，上校们。（掌声）我想首先感谢回特洛克校长，感谢他的友善介绍，更感谢他这数十年，对这所学校以及这个国家的贡献，我非常荣幸能够参加你的最后一届毕业典礼，我还想感谢你的夫人和你的家庭，他们和你一起做出过贡献，祝贺大家，我很高兴能来到这里。（掌声）我还想感谢贝希尔州长及夫人，我们的好朋友，简，还有到场的里士满市场吉姆巴恩斯，以及所有今晚到场的所有当选政府官员，还要感谢学校歌手们演唱的美妙旋律，你们很有天赋，当然我还要感谢坎迪斯和她鼓舞人心的发言，还有那14位即将成为美军新军官的男生和女生，很好。（掌声），当然，我还要感谢今天来到看台的所有人，感谢一直支持你们的家庭成员。明天是什么日子？母亲节，每个人应该都准备好了吧？订好花，准备好一切，我要特别问候这些和我一样的母亲，祝贺你们成功完成了对青春期子女的抚养，你们做到了，你们成功培养出了大学毕业生，怎么做到的，我欢迎你们给我提供建议。不过最重要的是，好样的，母亲们，还有祖母们，还有教母们，还有推动我们前进的所有像母亲一样的人。感谢你们所有人，最后我要祝贺今天的主角，2013届东肯塔基大学毕业生，对（掌声）你们都应该非常自豪，如校长所说，这是人生真正的里程碑，我只能想象，你们此刻感受到的复杂情感，恣意的快乐，毫无疑问的解脱感，你们经历了很多，才得到今天的成就，你们经历了高潮和低谷，胜利和挑战，庆祝和沮丧，这里说的显然不只是爱情生活，我讲的是你们倾注心血完成的那些论文，所有那些靠咖啡因支撑的不眠之夜，以及寻找能够交心的朋友，和有归属感的群体时，那种焦躁不安的心情，我知道对于你们很多人，大学毕业并不是早已成定局的事情，有些人来自没有多少学生能读上大学的高中，有些人需要专职工作，不仅需要赚钱付学费，还要支撑自己的家庭。我知道，你们很多人，都是家里第一位大学毕业生，所以，我知道，你们首次来到这个校园时，心里充满了各种疑惑和不确定感。

我个人经历中，也曾感受到这些，你们也听说了，我父母都是普通劳动者，他们甚至没有高中文凭，他们也没有什么钱，供我和哥哥上学，他们作出了巨大牺牲，我们的绝大部分学费来自贷款和补助，不过，我要告诉你们，我父亲每月都会开出他的小额支票，他下定决心按时支付他那部分的学费，哪怕当他没钱时，这意味着要去借钱。可以看到，我们的父母，为我们提供的是深深地爱，而当我们打电话回家，对父母讲起生活中的起起落落时，他们除了爱，无法给我们更多，他们没能力指导我们，该选什么课，选哪位教授，或者找什么实习和工作。

所以我踏上大学校园的第一天起，这一切对我都非常神秘，老实说，在我的记忆深处，我无法忘记有些高中同学对我说，我永远不可能从我所选报的学校顺利毕业，所以当我第一次踏入校园时，学校看起来大得难以想象，我不知道从哪入手，怎么选正确的课程，甚至怎么找到正确的教学楼，于是，我开始考虑，这些怀疑者的说法也许是对的。我甚至不知道如何装饰自己的宿舍房间，我看到所有其他这些孩子，搬来各种沙发、灯具、装饰品来扮靓房间。但当我打开我的行李，我发现我连大小合适的床单都没有，我的床单太短了。于是第一晚，我尽我所能把床单拉长，然后把被子盖到床的尾部，当我爬上床的时候，我的脚都会伸出床单外，触碰到冰冷的塑料床垫上，我整个大一都是这么睡觉的。但是，当你和我来自一样的家庭时，这就会是 你的写照。你必须尽最大限度使用你所拥

有的东西，对，你使用所有这些好的常识，你不会找借口，你会加倍努力，你将总能善始善终，而且不管什么情况，你都会给每个人公正待遇。当某人需要帮助时，你会伸出援助之手，这些就是我父母给我的恩赐：他们的价值观，我很快就意识到这些恩赐远远比金钱或人脉更有价值，因为我到大学后，我发现，当我把这些价值观运用到学习中时，我得以培养出一整套新技能，让我终身受用。这些技能比如适应能力、问题解决能力、时间管理能力，我学会将谬误和过失转化为前进的动力，一周三次考试，两篇论文，不是累趴下的理由，而是说你要好好计划。课上来自教授的批评不是你闭嘴的原因，而是说你需要问更多的问题。更重要的是，我意识到真正要紧的不是我父母赚多少钱，也不是高中那些人怎么说我，要紧的是我的思想里，我的心中，都有些什么。我的大学四年，给了我自信，让我知道，如果我能在大学校园取得成功，我就能在任何地方取得成功。毕业生们，这一天对我们这样的孩子来说很重要，很重要，所以你们应该异常自豪，而且我希望永远不要忘记，是什么成就了这一天的你，也就是你们来到这里时所拥有的价值观，还有你们在这里培养出的技巧和才能，因为这两点加在一起，将会让你有能力应对接下来的任何挑战，这就引出了一个很重要的问题：接下来会有什么挑战？ 在我思考你们即将开启的旅程时，我想到了我同我大女儿玛丽亚的谈话，这是发生在她十岁时的谈话，我们在讨论大学，以及我们的未来，我告诉她，我总跟我得孩子们说，大学毕业后，你就不能回家了，不能。当然，我是开玩笑，但我现在仍然不希望她知道这是玩笑，她当时真信了这句话，而她的回话我总记得，她说，妈，你大学毕业后去了哪？她说，我是说正好毕业后的那一天，你既要离开学校，又不能回家，那去了哪里呢？我希望你们每个人今天都对这个问题

有了答案，但愿没有人会睡在深谷中，不过，我觉得，她的问题中蕴含了某种更深刻的意义，你要去哪里？

今天，本着我女儿这一问题的精神，对于你们人生的下一篇章，我还想问一些问题。我得第一个问题是，你将成为谁？注意了，我这里没有问，你将要做什么？而是你要成为谁？我问的是，你计划今后每天要如何过生活，当你没有得到心仪工作时，你的反应会是怎样的，对于想成为老师的那些人，如果你课上的学生，第二年不再对你的课作出响应，你会怎么办？对于那些要经商的人，如果老板为你定的目标实在太高，你会如何反应，这些就是定义我们的时时刻刻，它不是你获得晋升的那一天，不是你获得年度教师称号的那一天，而是迫使你摸爬滚打的那些时光，以及努力奋斗，试图度过难关的那些日子。当你被击倒的时候，当你甚至怀疑是否值得重新站起来的时候，这些就是你要问自己：“我要成为谁”这一问题的时候，我要讲清楚，这不仅仅是关于塑造性格的含糊其辞的陈词滥调。近年来，越来越多的研究都向我们证明，适应能力和责任心这样的技能，对成功的重要性同考试分数甚至智商一样大，比如西点军校学员中，毅力和决心这些评分更高者，比起班级名次sat分数、身体素质排名靠前者，更有可能完成基本训练内容。所以我们将看到的是，如果你愿意深入挖掘，如果你愿意在跌倒时重新爬起来，如果你愿意不断努力，直到弱势变成优势，那么你就会培养出一系列技能，这些技能将能适用于你遭遇的任何情形，着手的任何工作，面对的任何危机，不过你需要作出这个选择，你要成为谁？ 回答这个问题后，我希望你回答第二个问题，也就是，你将如何将你所获得的这些技能和经验，用于服务他人，这是在东部，你们有非比寻常的服务传统，春假时，你们很多人都到新奥尔良，华盛顿特区这些地方去当志愿者，你们的新

闻业界，将他们为区域会议旅行筹集的所有资金，捐给一家被龙卷风所摧毁的报社，东肯塔基大学学生志愿服务的时间总和长达10.7万小时，并因为获得我的丈夫 美国总统所公布的高等教育社区服务荣誉榜提名，实至名归，当之无愧，在这之外，你们还对国家作出了另外一个贡献，也就是敞开怀抱，将美国退伍军人迎接到你们这里，这里每个人都参与了进来，每个人。学校行政部门为军事经验提供学分，教职员工们主动帮助课堂上的退伍军人，学生们每学期都会捐助退伍军人图书交易所，因为毫不令人惊讶，过去三年中有两年，军事时代edge杂志都将你们评为“全国最佳的退伍军人四年制大学”（掌声），所以你们有理由为这个群体感到自豪，但毕业生们，毕业生们，离开这里之后，你也不应停止服务，不管是否身着美国军队的军装，我们都有服务的使命以及帮助周围人的使命，你不需要走遍全球或者走遍全国，去寻找服务方式，你只需要放眼社区四周，邻里之间是否有需要良师益友的孩子，有没有志愿者组织可以加入帮助服务于军人家庭，有没有多出来的蔬菜罐头捐助到食物银行，这些东西看起来很小，但他们确实具有重要意义，因为当你努力并取得成功之后，你至少可以伸出援手，帮助那些需要帮助的人。（掌声）我们都能找到一种方式，张开双臂，将周围的人迎接到我们的生活和社区之中，这就引出了我的第三个问题，你生命中将包括谁？ 东肯塔基大学社区将援手伸向退伍军人，这给出了这个问题的部分答案，想想这些退伍军人从战场转入校园，情况会是怎样？你们可以站在他们的角度想想这个问题，前一分钟，你还背着军用包，手持枪械，在沙漠中面对枪林弹雨，后一分钟，你则背着书包，手持教科书，在城市里闲逛ｎand hanging out a powell corner.和你一个排的战友，散步到全国各地，你平常所见到的人从未经历过，也无法想象到，你所经历过的事情，你很容易会感到孤立，就好像没人篇三：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 school chengdu, china march 25, 2014 ni hao.it is truly a pleasure to be here at the number seven school.thank 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 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 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 in america, there are many kinds of universities.there are four-year universities.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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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。非常高兴和荣幸来到第七中学??谢谢你们的热情欢迎。篇四：米歇尔奥巴马北大演讲稿 中英对照 mrs.obama:(applause.)thank you.well, ni-hao.(laughter.)it is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.谢谢。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。

now, before i get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, i just want to say a few very brief words about malaysia airlines flight 370.as my husband has said, the united states is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.and please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.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。如我丈夫所说，美国正提供尽可能多的资源协助搜寻工作。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。now with that, i want to start by recognizing our new 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 is an excellent study abroad program in shanghai;and john thornton, 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 schaefer 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.最重要的是，我要感谢今天所有到场的学生们......我要特别感谢埃里克?谢弗和朱宣皓的精彩英文和中文介绍。这绝佳地诠释了我今天要和大家聊的全部话题。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.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、朱女士以及你们大家正在搭建理解的桥梁，这些桥梁带来更多的丰硕成果。我今天来到你们这里是因为我知道，我们的未来取决于全球像你们这样年轻人间的这样的联系。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。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。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。

第二篇：米歇尔奥巴马演讲

This is my first trip, my first foreign trip as a first lady.Can you believe that? And while this is not my first visit to the U.K., I have to say that I am glad that this is my first official visit.Please remember that.If you want to know the reason why I'm standing here, it's because of education.I never cut class.Sorry, I don't know if anybody is cutting class.I never did it.I loved getting As.I liked being smart.I liked being on time.I liked getting my work done.I thought being smart was cooler than anything in the world.And you too, with these same values, can control your own destiny.You too can pave the way.You too can realize your dreams, and then your job is to reach back and to help someone just like you do the same thing.History proves that it doesn't matter whether you come from a council estate or a country estate.Your success will be determined by your own fortitude, your own confidence, your own individual hard work.That is true.That is the reality of the world that we live in.You now have control over your own destiny.And it won't be easy--that's for sure.But you have everything you need.Everything you need to succeed, you already have, right here.My husband works in this big office.They call it the Oval Office.In the White House, there's the desk that he sits at--it's called the Resolute desk.It was built by the timber of Her Majesty's Ship Resolute and given by Queen Victoria.It's an enduring symbol of the friendship between our two nations.And its name, Resolute, is a reminder of the strength of character that's required not only to lead a country, but to live a life of purpose, as well.And I hope in pursuing your dreams, you all remain resolute, that you go forward without limits, and that you use your talents--because there are many;we've seen them;it's there--that you use them to create the world as it should be.Because we are counting on you.We are counting on every single one of you to be the very best that you can be.Because the world is big.And it's full of challenges.And we need strong, smart, confident young women to stand up and take the reins.We know you can do it.We love you.Thank you so much.MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thank you.Well, ni-hao.(Laughter.)It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.谢谢。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。Now, before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.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。如我丈夫所说，美国正提供尽可能多的资源协助搜寻工作。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。Now with that, I want to start by recognizing our new 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 is an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai;and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University.Thank you all for joining us.现在，我们首先来认识一下美国新任驻华大使——博卡斯大使。王校长、朱主席、李副校长、Cuelluer主任、Jean Oi教授和斯坦福中心，纽约大学的塞克顿斯校长（该校在上海开设了一个优秀的海外留学项目），以及清华大学全球领袖项目主任约翰·桑顿，由衷地感谢大家的到来。But most of all, I want to thank all of the students who are here today.And I particularly want to thank Eric Schaefer 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.最重要的是，我要感谢今天所有到场的学生们......我要特别感谢埃里克·谢弗和朱宣皓的精彩英文和中文介绍。这绝佳地诠释了我今天要和大家聊的全部话题。

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.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、朱女士以及你们大家正在搭建理解的桥梁，这些桥梁带来更多的丰硕成果。我今天来到你们这里是因为我知道，我们的未来取决于全球像你们这样年轻人间的这样的联系。That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between nations aren’t 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 also as a vital part of America’s foreign policy.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。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。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。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 compete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email, Skype with people on every continent.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 is 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 borders –-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: ―It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.‖

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，只在学校里取得好成绩是不够的，还应拥有国境外的真实体验：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。‖ But let’s be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future.It’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time-– whether 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.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。

That’s why it is so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s 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.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。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.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。在北京发现的治序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。

第三篇：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.

第四篇：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。

第五篇：米歇尔奥巴马演讲全文 speech

Thank 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, and they'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?

Our 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 – their unconditional 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.But 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 ahead of 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.We 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 amount of 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.When 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.That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political – they're personal.Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles.He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it 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.He's the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work...because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives.He's the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew.That's the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships.That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent him.The letter from the father struggling to pay his bills...from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won't cover her care...from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities.I see the concern in his eyes...and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, “You won't believe what these folks are going through, Michelle...it's not right.We've got to keep working to fix this.We've got so much more to do.”

I see how those stories – our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams – I see how that's what drives Barack Obama every single day.And I didn't think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago...even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met.I love that he's never forgotten how he started.I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard – especially when it's hard.I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them” – he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above...he knows that we all love our country...and he's always ready to listen to good ideas...he's always looking for the very best in everyone 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...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, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button...then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids.And if so many brave men and women could wear our country's uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental rights...then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights...surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election Day.If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love...then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.Because in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country – the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle.That is what has made my story, and Barack's story, and so many other American stories possible.And I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady...and not just as a wife.You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still “mom-in-chief.”

My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world.But today, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing what's best for our girls.Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters...if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise...if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility – that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you're willing to work for it...then we must work like never before...and we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward...my husband, our President, President Barack Obama.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
