奥巴马总统对美国学生的全国讲话
弗吉尼亚州，阿灵顿郡，2009年9月8日
嗨，大家好！
谢谢！谢谢！谢谢大家！今天过的怎么样？
我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里。我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请你们自己热烈鼓掌。
我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天，对于刚进幼儿园或升上初中高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天。因此，假如你们感到有些紧张，那也是正常的。我想也会有许多毕业班的学生正自信满满，还有一年就毕业了。不论哪个年级，许多人都打心底里希望现在还放暑假，今天早上还能多睡一小会儿，我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家生活在海外，我在印度尼西亚住了几年，我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校，但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。因此，她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课，不过她还要上班，所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。你们可以想像，我不太情愿那么早起床，有很多次，我趴在餐桌上就睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，我妈妈总会用同一幅表情看着我说：“小鬼，你以为教你我就很轻松？”所以我能理解你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。
但今天我站在这里，是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情，我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育，以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的期望。我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。
我谈到过教师们有责任激励你们，督促你们学习；
我谈到过家长们有责任确保你们走正道，完成家庭作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机； 我也多次谈到过政府有责任制定高标准，协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有些学校学生得不到应有学习机会的现状。
但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们拥有最敬业的教师，最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校，假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费。
除非你每天准时去上学，除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们的话放在心上，除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力，否则这一切都会失去意义。
这就是我今天讲话的重点，你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。
我首先要讲讲你们对自己应尽的责任。你们每个人都有自己的长处，你们每个人都是有用之材，你们对自己应尽的责任是发现自己的才能所在，而教育能够有这样的机会。
或许你能写出优美的文字，甚至有一天能让那些文字出现在书籍和报刊上，但假如不在课堂上经常练习写作，你不会发现自己有这样的才能；或许你能成为一名创新者或发明家，甚至可能设计出新一代IPhone，或研制出新型药物与疫苗，但假如不在自然科学课堂上做上几次实验，你不会发现自己有这样的才能；或许你能成为一名市长，或参议员、或最高法院的大法官，但假如你不去加入学生会或参加几次辩论赛，你不会发现自己有这样的才能。不论你的生活志向是什么？我敢肯定你都需要相应的教育。你想当医生、教师或警官吗？你想当护士、建筑师、律师或军人吗？你必须接受良好的教育，才能从事上述任何一种职业。你不能指望辍学后能碰上个好工作，你必须接受培训，为之努力、为之学习。这并非只对你个人的人生和未来意义重大，教育给你带来的益处将决定这个国家的未来。美国的未来取决于你们！
今天你们在学校中学习的内容，将会决定我们整个国家。在未来迎接重大挑战时的表现，你们需要在数理科学课程上学习的知识和技能，去治疗癌症、艾滋那样的疾病，开发新的能源技术，保护我们的环境；你们需要历史社科课程上获得的观察力与判断力，来抗击贫困和解决无家可归问题，打击犯罪和削除歧视，让这个国家变得更加公平和自由；你们需要在各类课程中逐渐培养的创造力和智慧，去创办新公司，制造就业机会和推动经济增长。我们需要你们每个人都发挥天赋、技能和才智，帮助老一辈人解决我们面临的最棘手问题。如果你们不这样做，如果你们辍学，那么你们不仅是放弃了自己，也是放弃了自己的国家。
我当然明白读好书并不总是件容易的事，我知道你们中的许多人在生活中面临着各种问题，很难把精力集中在专心读书上，我明白这一点，我有亲身感受。我父亲在我两岁时就离开了家庭，是母亲一人将我拉扯大，母亲不得不工作，并时常为支付生活费用而苦苦挣扎，但有时仍无法为我们提供其他孩子享有的东西。我时我渴望生活中能有一位父亲，有时会感到孤独无助，感觉与周围的环境格格不入，我并非总是像我应该做到的那样专心学习，我的生活岌岌可危，随时可能急转直下，但我很幸运，我在许多事上都得到了重来的机会，我有幸能上大学，上法学院，追求自己的理想。我的妻子，我们的第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马，也有着相似的人生故事。她的父母都没读过大学，也没有什么财产，但他们都是非常勤奋。她也是如此，因此她得以进入一些美国最好的学校。
你们中有些人可能没有那些有利条件，或许你的生活中没有能为你提供帮助的长辈，或许你们家中有人失业，经济非常拮据，或许你住的社区不那么安全，或许你认识一些会对你产生不良影响的朋友，但归根结底，你的生活状况，你的长相、出身、经济条件、家庭氛围，都不是疏忽学业和态度恶劣的借口，这些不是你去跟老师顶嘴、逃课或辍学的借口，这些不是你不好好读书的借口。你们目前的状况并不决定着你们的未来，没有人为你编排好你的命运。在美国，你的命运由你自己书写，你的未来由你自己掌握，这就是像你们这样的年轻人每天都在做的事情。全美各地都是如此，例如德克萨斯州罗马市的贾斯敏·佩雷兹，她刚进学校时根本不会说英语，她的父母都没有上过大学。然而，她非常勤奋，成绩优异，获得了布朗大学的奖学金，如今正攻读公共卫生专业的研究生，不久将成为贾斯敏·佩雷兹博士。我还想起了加州洛斯拉图斯市的安多尼·舒尔兹，他从三岁起就开始与脑癌病魔做斗争，他熬过了一次次治疗与手术，其中一项手术曾影响了他的记忆，因此他得比常人多花几百小时来完成作业，但他从来不曾落下自己的功课，这个秋天，他要开始在大学读书了。我还想起了家乡伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的一名孤儿---香特尔·史蒂夫，她曾寄养于多个不同的家庭，从小在治安很差的地区长大，但她通过努力在一家地方医疗中心找到工作，发起一个让青少年远离犯罪团伙的项目，她即将以优异成绩从中学毕业去大学深造。贾斯敏、安多尼和香特尔，与你们并没有什么不同，和你们一样，他们也在生活中遭遇各种问题，在某些情况下，他们的处境比起你们许多人更差，但他们拒绝放弃，他们决定要为自己的人生、自己的教育负起责任，给自己定下奋斗的目标。我希望你们中的每一个人都能做的到这些。因此，我今天号召你们每一个人，为自己的教育设定目标，并尽自己的最大努力来实现这些目标。你们的目标可以很简单，像是完成作业，认真听讲或每天阅读，或许你打算参加一些课外活动，或在你的社区提供志愿服务，或许你会挺身而出，保护那些因身份或长相而受人戏弄或欺负的孩子。原因是你和我一样认为，每个孩子都应该享有适合读书和学习的安全环境，或许你决定该学着更好地照顾自己，来为将来的学习做准备。除此之外，顺便提一下，我希望大家要勤洗手，感到身体不舒服的时候要多在家休息，免得大家在秋冬感冒高发季节都得流感。但无论你决定做什么，我都希望你能坚持到底，我希望你脚踏实地地去做。我知道有时候你会从电视上得到这样的印象，不需要付出多大的努力就能腰缠万贯、功成名就，只要会唱rap、会打篮球或参加真人秀节目就能坐享其成，但现实是，你几乎没有可能走上其中任何一条道路。事实上，取得成功不是轻而易举的事情，你不可能对要读的每门课程都兴趣盎然，你不可能和每名带课教师都相处顺利，不是所有的家庭作业都与你眼前的生活完全有关，并不是每件事，你都能在头一次尝试时获得成功，但那没有关系，世界上最成功的人士中有一些是遭遇失败最多的，J.K.罗琳，《哈利·波特》的作者，她的《哈利·波特》第一部在出版前被退稿12次；迈克尔·乔丹上高中时被校篮球队刷了下来，在他的职业生涯里，他输了几百场比赛，投失过几千次射篮，但他曾说过，我一生不停地失败、失败再失败，这就是我成功的原因。他们的成功，源于他们明白不能让失败左右自己，而是要从中吸取经验。从失败中，你能明白下一次可以做出怎样的改变。假如你惹了什么麻烦，那并不说明你就是个捣蛋鬼，而意味着你需要更加努力去把它做对；假如你考了个低分，那并不表示你比别人笨，而只是表示你需要花更多的时间学习。没有一个人天生擅长做什么事情，只能努力才能培养出技能。第一次接触新的体育项目时，你不可能是一位主力队员；第一次唱一首歌曲时，你不可能唱准每个音，一切都是熟能生巧的，对于学业也是一样，你或许要反复运算才能正确解出一道数学题；你或许需要反复读一段文字才能理解它的意思；你或许得把论文改上好几次才能符合提交的标准。不要害怕提问，不要不敢向他人求助，我每天都在这么做。求助并不是软弱的表现，它是力量的标志，因为它表明你有勇气承认自己的不足，这样做会使你学到新的东西。请确定一位你信任的成年人，例如家长、祖父母或老师、教练或辅导员，请他们帮助你遵循既定计划实现你的目标。即使当你苦苦挣扎，即使当你灰心丧气，你觉得身边的人都已经放弃了你，永远不要自己放弃自己。因为当你放弃自己的时候，你也放弃了自己的国家。书写美国历史的不是在困难时刻退缩的人，而是坚持不懈、加倍努力的人，他们对国家的爱促使他们全力以赴；书写美国历史的是250年前和你们一样的学生，他们之后用一场革命最终造就了这个国家；年轻人，75年前，有一群和你们一样的学生，他们之后战胜了大萧条、赢得了二战，他们为民权而奋斗并把宇航员送上了月球；就在20年前，有一群和你们一样的学生们，他们后来创立了Google、Twitter、Facebook，改变了我们之间交流沟通的方式。因此，今天我要问问你们大家，你们会做出什么样的贡献，你们将解决什么样的难题，你们能发现什么样的事物，20年、50年或100年后，假如那时的美国总统也来做一次开学演讲的话，你们的家长、你们的老师和我，正竭尽全力确保你们都能得到应有的教育，以便回答上述问题。我正努力为你们提供更安全的教室，更多的书箱、更先进的设施和计算机，但你们也要担起自己的责任。
因此我要求你们在今年能够认真起来，我要求你们尽心地去做自己着手的每一件事，我要求你们每一个人都有所成就。
请不要让我们失望，不要让你们的家人或你们的国家失望，而且最重要的是，不要辜负你们自己，你们要成为我们的骄傲。
非常感谢你们大家。

在竞选过程中，他坚持不懈，努力了很长时间，而且他还会为他所热爱的国家继续更加努力。他已经为美国奉献了太多，以到于我们许多人都无法想象。我们必须要更好地服务于我们的祖国，以补偿这位勇敢而无私的领导人。

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.VhH3{P#^%m5 V0&}&NU

Prepared Remarks of President
Barack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, August 13, 2011
On Thursday, I visited a new, high-tech factory in Michigan where workers are helping America lead the way in a growing clean energy industry.They were proud of their work, and they should be.They’re not just showing us a path out of the worst recession in generations – they’re proving that this is still a country where we make things;where new ideas take root and grow;where the best universities, most creative entrepreneurs, and most dynamic businesses in the world call home.They’re proving that even in difficult times, there’s not a country on Earth that wouldn’t trade places with us.That doesn’t mean we don’t face some very tough economic challenges.Many Americans are hurting badly right now.Many have been unemployed for too long.Putting these men and women back to work, and growing wages for everyone, has got to be our top priority.But lately, the response from Washington has been partisanship and gridlock that’s only undermined public confidence and hindered our efforts to grow the economy.So while there’s nothing wrong with our country, there is something wrong with our politics, and that’s what we’ve got to fix.Because we know there are things Congress can do, right now, to get more money back in your pockets, get this economy growing faster, and get our friends and neighbors back to work.The payroll tax cut that put $1,000 back in the average family’s pocket this year? Let’s extend it.Construction workers who’ve been jobless since the housing boom went bust? Let’s put them back to work rebuilding America.Let’s cut red tape in the patent process so entrepreneurs can get good ideas to market more quickly.Let’s finish trade deals so we can sell more American-made goods around the world.Let’s connect the hundreds of thousands of brave Americans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan to businesses that need their incredible skills and talents.These are all things we can do right now.So let’s do them.And over the coming weeks, I’ll put forward more proposals to help our businesses hire and create jobs, and won’t stop until every American who wants a job can find one.But we can no longer let partisan brinksmanship get in our way – the idea that making it through the next election is more important than making things right.That’s what’s holding us back – the fact that some in Congress would rather see their opponents lose than see America win.So you’ve got a right to be frustrated.I am.Because you deserve better.And I don’t think it’s too much for you to expect that the people you send to this town start delivering.Members of Congress are at home in their districts right now.And if you agree with me – whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican or not much of a fan of either – let them know.If you’ve had it with gridlock, and you want them to pass stalled bills that will help our economy right now – let them know.If you refuse to settle for a politics where scoring points is more important than solving problems;if you believe it’s time to put country before party and the interests of our children before our own – let them know.And maybe they’ll get back to Washington ready to compromise, ready to create jobs, ready to get our fiscal house in order – ready to do what you sent them to do.Yes, we’ve still got a long way to go to get to where we need to be.We didn’t get into this mess overnight, and it’s going to take time to get out of it.That’s a hard truth – but it’s no excuse for inaction.After all, America voted for divided government, not dysfunctional government, and we’ve got work to do.And when we come together and find common ground, there’s no stopping this country.There’s no stopping our people.There’s no holding us back.And there is every reason to believe we’ll get through this storm to a brighter day.Thanks for listening, and have a great weekend.
第五篇：奥巴马演讲稿
Happy New Year, everybody.I am fired up for the year that stretches out before us.That’s because of what we’ve accomplished together over the past seven.Seven years ago, our businesses were losing 800,000 jobs a month.They’ve now created jobs for 69 straight months, driving the unemployment rate from a high of 10% down to 5%.Seven years ago, too many Americans went without health insurance.We’ve now covered more than 17 million people, dropping the rate of the uninsured below 10% for the very first time.Seven years ago, we were addicted to foreign oil.Now our oil imports have plummeted, our clean energy industry is booming, and America is a global leader in the fight against climate change.Seven years ago, there were only two states in America with marriage equality.And now there are 50.All of this progress is because of you.And we’ve got so much more to do.So my New Year’s resolution is to move forward on our unfinished business as much as I can.And I’ll be more frequently asking for your help.That’s what this American project is all about.That's especially true for one piece of unfinished business, that’s our epidemic of gun violence.Last month, we remembered the third anniversary of Newtown.This Friday, I’ll be thinking about my friend Gabby Giffords, five years into her recovery from the shooting in Tucson.And all across America, survivors of gun violence and those who lost a child, a parent, a spouse to gun violence are forced to mark such awful anniversaries every single day.And yet Congress still hasn’t done anything to prevent what happened to them from happening to other families.Three years ago, a bipartisan, commonsense bill would have required background checks for virtually everyone who buys a gun.Keep in mind, this policy was supported by some 90% of the American people.It was supported by a majority of NRA households.But the gun lobby mobilized against it.And the Senate blocked it.Since then, tens of thousands of our fellow Americans have been mowed down by gun violence.Tens of thousands.Each time, we’re told that commonsense reforms like background checks might not have stopped the last massacre, or the one before that, so we shouldn’t do anything.We know that we can’t stop every act of violence.But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something – anything – to protect our kids from gun violence?
A few months ago, I directed my team at the White House to look into any new actions I can take to help reduce gun violence.And on Monday, I’ll meet with our Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, to discuss our options.Because I get too many letters from parents, and teachers, and kids, to sit around and do nothing.I get letters from responsible gun owners who grieve with us every time these tragedies happen;who share my belief that the Second Amendment guarantees a right to bear arms;and who share my belief we can protect that right while keeping an irresponsible, dangerous few from inflicting harm on a massive scale.新年快乐。我今年的了,在我们面前伸出。这是因为我们在过去七一起完成。
七年前,我们的企业是一个月失去800000个工作岗位。他们已经连续69个月创造就业机会,推动失业率从10%降至5%。七年前,太多的美国人没有医疗保险。现在我们已经覆盖了超过1700万人,下降的速度没有保险的人第一次低于10%。七年前,我们沉迷于外国石油。现在我们的石油进口大幅下降,我们的清洁能源产业蓬勃发展,美国是一个全球对抗气候变化的领导者。
七年前,只有两个州在美国婚姻平等。现在有50。
所有这一切是因为你进步。我们有很多要做。所以我的新年决心是推进我们的未竟事业尽我所能。,我就会更频繁地要求你的帮助。这就是美国项目。
特别是未竟事业的一部分,这是我们的枪支暴力的流行。上个月,我们想起了新城的第三个纪念日。这个星期五,我都会想到我的朋友加贝·吉福兹,五年进她的复苏在图森枪击事件。和整个美国,枪支暴力的幸存者和那些失去一个孩子,父母,配偶枪支暴力被迫马克每天都这样可怕的纪念日。然而,国会还没有做任何事情来阻止它们发生其他家庭发生了什么事。三年前,一个两党,常识法案需要背景调查几乎每个人买了一把枪。记住,这一政策被大约90%的美国人支持。这是得到大多数NRA家庭的支持。但枪支游说团体动员反对它。和参议院阻止它。
从那以后,成千上万的美国人被枪支暴力撂倒了。成千上万。每一次,我们被告知,常识改革像背景调查可能没有停止过去的屠杀,或者一个在此之前,所以我们不应该做任何事情。我们知道我们不能停止所有暴力的行为。但是如果我们甚至试图阻止一个呢?如果国会所做的——任何东西——从枪支暴力来保护我们的孩子吗? 几个月前,我要求我的团队在白宫看着我可以采取任何新的行动来减少枪支暴力。周一,我将会见我们的总检察长,洛雷塔(merrill Lynch),讨论我们的选择。因为我从父母得到太多的字母,老师,和孩子们,无所事事。我得到负责任的枪支拥有者的来信与我们每一次悲伤这些悲剧发生,谁分享我认为宪法第二修正案保证了持枪权;谁分享我的信念我们可以保护,同时保持一个不负责任的,危险的一些大规模从造成伤害。
