第一篇:美国第一夫人演讲稿中英文对照
3月22日上午,美国第一夫人米歇尔造访北京大学,并接受北大校长赠书。之后,米歇尔在北大斯坦福中心以“读万卷书不如行万里路”为主题的演讲。在米歇尔的演讲中,“留学”成为关键词。她化用中国古语“读万卷书,不如行万里路”,并结合自身经历现身说法,希望让更多青年人拥有留学的机会。以下为米歇尔演讲的双语全文:
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。
第二篇:美国第一夫人演讲稿
Dr.Jill Biden: Thank you, Secretary Panetta and Deputy Secretary Wolin for your leadership.Thank you, General Dempsey, for your kind introduction.Good afternoon, Deanie, and all the Joint Chiefs and your spouses.Thank you for being such great partners to Michelle and me.I want to offer a special welcome to all of our service members and their spouses.We are honored to be with you today.Many of you know, as the General mentioned, that I am a proud military mom.One of the best parts of my role as Second Lady is the privilege of meeting with service members and their families all over the world.I am always amazed at their courage, their determination and their resilience.That inspiration is one of the main reasons the First Lady and I started Joining Forces so that all Americans are helping to support our military families.We've seen Americans step up in so many ways.We've seen businesses hiring tens of thousands of veterans and military spouses--businesses like Sears, Kmart and Sam's Club have made commitments to hire military spouses or make base transfers easier.Medical schools have committed to educate their students about post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries and conduct new research on these conditions.Schools, community organizations and Americans of every age and background have sent care packages, donated childcare and created community celebrations for the military families in their neighborhoods.And Americans are stepping up because they know how much our military spouses and families have done for our country.People like Ann Wells.Ann's husband, Robert, is career combat engineer and command service sergeant major.After 10 years of marriage, Ann went back to school for her nursing degree.As a teacher, I have had the privilege of teaching countless women like Ann, women who fight hard for a good education.But like so many military spouses, Ann moved frequently with her husband and that often meant a new license was required to pursue her nursing career in Hawaii, in Tennessee, in Texas and in Missouri.That's why our efforts here today are so important.They are another way we can show our support for those who serve this country.Please join me in welcoming Ann.(applause)Ann Wells: Thank you, Dr.Biden, for those fine remarks.And to all the leaders of government, our First Lady, Secretary Panetta, General Dempsey, thank you for your leadership and your guidance today.And I just want to thank all of you for making military spouses and our professions a priority today.As an Army spouse for 32 years, I am enormously proud of what my husband does.And I am proud to step up and serve this country in my own way as well.But being a military spouse brings with it some extra challenges, and as a registered nurse, I know that firsthand.I take my profession as a nurse just as seriously as Robert does the military.My family has moved ten times throughout my husband's career.I have long since lost track of the number of months that I've spent waiting around for licensing paperwork to catch up so that I could continue my own career.One move happened 30 days after a deployment;we had to start moving during the Christmas holidays.Moving the family, finding a new home, a new school for the kids, you have to make new friends, all this puts a loss of stress on the families.And, you know, I can't even start looking for a new type of work until I have an address so I can start sending off for my license.There's also the extra cost of applying for the new license which differs from state to state.You have the time waiting for an official college transcript.You have to submit another set of fingerprints to file in the state.You need to figure out what forms have to be filled out, signed and notarized.One time the whole process was so difficult to sort through and Robert was going through some tough times after deployment that I finally gave up and decided I just didn't need to get my license in this state.And many of my friends that I've talked to have similar stories as mine.The issue of occupational license portability is one of the very top concerns we have as military spouses.In serving this country we move a lot;it's just what we do.And for those of us in one of the dozens of professions in this country that require state licensures, these moves can be particularly tough.Moving just in and of itself is tough.Now add the financial pressure of finding a new job and in a new location.We are not looking for a handout.And none of us for a second wants to change a professional standard.We're simply looking to be able to provide for our families and continue the careers that we love.And so I'd like to thank everyone here today for helping military spouses, like me, just to do that, to be there with us.And right now I'd like to turn it over to someone who has worked with Dr.Biden to make a difference in the lives of America's military families.She has not just talked about it;she has actually gotten up and done something about it.Ladies and gentlemen, the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama!(applause)First Lady Michelle Obama: Thank you so much.Thank you, everyone.Thank you all so much.Someone can give an order to be seated.There are plenty of people here who can do that, correct?(laughter)But thank you--thank you for that wonderful welcome.And thank you, Ann.Thank you for the kind introduction and for all that you and your family have done for our country.I also want to thank Secretary Panetta for hosting us here at the Pentagon.And of course, I have to thank Jill, who has been such a wonderful friend and such a terrific partner in Joining Forces.I also want to join in recognizing General Dempsey and his wife, Jeannie--Deanie, why am I saying Jeannie? Hi, Deanie.How are you?(laughter)Thank you.You've been amazing.You've helped us through.You've kept us on the straight and narrow along with all of the other spouses of the Joint Chiefs.You all have been just amazing supports.And I also have to recognize the Joint Chiefs as well.Thank you all.You all have been so steadfast, just right there every step of the way.We are just proud of everything that you do for this country.And we also have Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin, who is here from the Department of Treasury, who has put so much time and effort into helping prepare this report.We wouldn't be here today without all that you have done, so thank you.Well done.Job well done.Absolutely.(applause)We also have Alan Krueger, who's the Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors;of course, the First Lady of Kentucky, Jane Beshear, who has been really doing some phenomenal work in her state and taking the lead and stepping up in ways big and small.We really are grateful to everything that you've done.We also have members of Congress here, we have state legislators, and we representatives from many of our nation's veterans service organizations who are here with us.And we are all here today, we have all gathered, to say this to America's military families: We are incredibly grateful for your service.We understand the unique challenges that you face;and we are going to do everything that we can to make sure that you can pursue your careers and provide for your families.Now as Jill said, over the past few years, she and I have had the privilege of visiting with military spouses all across the country.And as Jill said, you all are some of the most courageous, resilient, and inspiring people that we have ever met.You all are the ones who keep your families together when your spouse is deployed.You're the parents who turn off the news at night for fear of what you might hear, who answer all those questions about why Mom or Dad has been gone for so long.You're the spouse who steps up to do the work of two parents, raising the kids, running the household, juggling all the errands and chores all alone.But you are still the volunteer on the PTA.(家庭教师协会)You still lead that food drive.You organize the neighborhood carpool.You're the families who, every few years, you pack up your entire lives, and you move whenever and wherever your country calls.But no matter how much is on your plate, no matter what this country asks of you, you all just keep moving forward.You just keep serving your families, your communities and your country in ways that many of us cannot fathom.But when it comes to moving forward in your own careers, when it comes to getting a job and being able to provide for your families when you arrive at that new base or duty station, far too often, you can't just keep moving because you've run into a brick wall.It happens to military spouses again and again.You're asked to move to a new state.You want to get back to the job you love and the job you need to support your family.But you can't do any of that because your nursing license or your teaching credentials don't transfer when you move to a new state.It happens to nurses like Ann.It happens to school teachers, to childcare providers, to accountants, real estate brokers, dental hygienists, lawyers too--that's supposed to be funny.No one likes lawyers.(laughter)And so many other careers.We have learned that more than one of every three military spouses in the labor force have jobs that require some kind of professional license or certification.So this licensing issue affects more than 100,000 individuals--100,000 individuals.And the vast majority of you are clearly ready to work when you get to your new state.You've already demonstrated your specialized skills.You've already gained years of professional experience.But too often, as Ann said, you're left waiting for paperwork to clear while your skills go unused and more importantly your family's bank accounts shrink.And this is something Jill and I hear about on every single base and in every single military community that we visit.It is the number one issue that military spouses tell us about.And we know that this is a challenge for these families because the one important thing that I have learned about military spouses is they never complain.They never ever ask for anything.So on the rare occasion when our military spouses do speak up and ask for our help, then it's time for all of us to take action.And that's what today's report from the Departments of Defense and Treasury is all about.That's what we're doing.We're all taking action.We've heard your frustrations, and we're finding solutions.And that starts by first recognizing how these issues arise.Now, each state issues its own professional license and sets its own standards of professional competence.Take teachers, for example.To earn a teaching license, states ask for some combination of state and national test scores, supervised work experience, and advanced coursework.But when you analyze requirements like these across several states, you begin to understand the challenges that arise for military spouses.In some states, for example, applicants are required to take an entry-level course in state history or other subjects before the licensing board will grant a license.So if you're a military spouse with years of teaching experience and you move across state lines, you could end up taking extra classes for weeks on end before you can even get a job, and that's just what happens in one profession.When you're talking about dozens of careers, the web of requirements and standards can get pretty thick.But before we go any further, let me be very clear: We're not asking any state to change their standards.6 These state rules are important, and states have every right to set benchmarks just like these.In doing so, they hold our professionals to a high bar and they give us all peace of mind whenever we walk into a hospital or enroll our kids in school.But it's also clear that this system poses very unique challenges for our military families.And recently, a number of states have stepped forward to address this very problem.So let me just tell you about what just some of a few states are already doing.In Tennessee, they're granting temporary licenses in many professions, which will allow spouses to get a job first, then complete any remaining state licensing requirements.In Colorado, the director of their state licensing agency now has the power to waive cumbersome requirements for military spouses who clearly demonstrate their competence.And then in Arizona, they passed legislation to grant licenses, in most professions, to military spouses who have at least one year of experience.So that's three states with three different solutions.In each of them, military spouses with professional skills and experience don't have to wait before they get to work.If they need to complete any remaining requirements in their new state, they can do it as they earn a paycheck.And that's the general guideline that eight other states have followed as they've created laws of their own.And we're pleased that 13 more states have legislation pending or waiting to be introduced.But that still leaves 26 states--that still leaves more than half the country--that have yet to address this issue.And, again, that's where this report comes in.We know that there's no one-size-fits-all solution here.Every state is different.So this report simply provides a roadmap of best practices that leaders across the country can use as a resource as they explore ways that their state can better support these military families.The report contains tips and ideas, not edicts and decrees.But the point is that there are solutions here.This is a solvable problem.So today we are setting a national goal--by the year 2014, we want all 50 states to have passed their own legislation to address these licensing issues.And we know it's an ambitious goal.We know it won't be easy to achieve, but we also know that our nation's military families have waited long enough.(applause)And it's also important to note that this isn't just about military spouses.This issue affects our troops.It affects our military children, all of whom are relying on the income of these spouses earn.This affects our schools and our hospitals and our businesses that need those skilled employees.And all of that affects our entire economy--our unemployment rate, our productivity, our competitiveness all around the world.So it's time for us to come together as a country to find some solutions to this problem that has affected so many of our military families for so long.It is time for us to make sure that our military spouses, that their hard work and professional skills are recognized, no matter what state they move to.And we're all willing to do our part to work together to move this issue forward and to provide support for states along the way.That's why, in addition to today's announcement, when our nation's governors gather at the White House in just two weeks, Jill and I are going to make this ask directly.We're going to ask each of the governors to lead the charge on this issue in their state.We're also going to reach out to state legislators across the country, and we're going to ask them to jumpstart the legislative process.The state liaisons here at the Department of Defense will be working nonstop to help these state leaders craft and pass bills that fit their states' needs.In addition, we're going to be asking advocacy groups like the National Military Family Association to engage at a state level to build the kind of grassroots support that will help get this done.And we're going to urge more national professional organizations to follow the lead of the American Bar Association, which actively is encouraging its state affiliates to make licensing accommodations for military spouses.So we are ready to roll up our sleeves and do some heavy lifting on this issue.We are ready to make this happen.And if we can do this, if we can work together so that every state can find its own solution, we'll once again show all of you--our incredible military families--that America has your back.After all, that's exactly what you do for all of us every single day.That's what you do for us.No matter how much we ask of you, no matter what the personal cost, our military families always answer the call.They always do.And today, as we announce this new effort, I'm reminded of a group of military spouses that I met with a few years ago in Kentucky.One woman we were talking to, she choked up as she told me about some of the challenges that she and her family were facing.And I'll never forget what happened next: another military spouse who was sitting there, she jumped in and she said--and this is a quote--she said, “I don't know this woman.I didn't meet her before today, but when she leaves here, she will have my number.And she will be able to call me anytime.She's got the support of this friend right here.” See and I tell that story because that's who military spouses are.That's exactly who they are.That's the life that so many of you here today lead.That is the commitment that you show every single day to your families, to our communities and to our country.And I just want you all to know that you can call on us, and we will answer.We owe it to you and your families who have sacrificed so much.And so to all of the state leaders out there, in this room and beyond, I want to thank you for everything that you've done so far, and I look forward to working with you to finish this job.And to our troops and our military families, I cannot thank you enough for everything you do for this country.We are inspired by you.We are so proud of you, and we are working as hard as we can to serve you as well as you have served this country.Thank you all, God bless, and God bless the United States of America.Thanks, so much.(applause)
第三篇:2012美国第一夫人演讲稿
2012美国第一夫人演讲稿
When it comes to giving our kids the educaiton they deserve, 孩子们应受到很好的教育,说到这个问题
Barack knows that like me and like so many of you Barack懂得,就像我们中很多人一样
he never could've attended college without finacial aid 没有助学贷款他也不可能上大学
And believe it or not, when we were first married 你们相信吗,在我和他新婚之时
our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage 我们的助学贷款的压力甚至远大于房贷 We were so young, so in love, and so in debt 当时我们那么年轻,那么相爱,还负债累累
And that's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, 因此Barack竭尽全力提高助学金额度,同时压低利息
because he wants every young person to fulfill their promises 他希望让每一个年轻人都能大展宏图
and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt 不必为了求学而债台高筑
So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political-they're personal 归根究底,这些对他来说根本无关政治,推己及人而已
Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles 他深深知道困难家庭的处境
He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids 他懂得希望子孙过上好日子是怎样一种感受
Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it 他知道什么是美国梦,因为他曾亲身经历

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

because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, 因为对他来说,成功的标准并不是收入
it's about the difference you make in people's lives 而是你对他人生活的积极影响
He's the same man who, when our girls were first born, 他还是那个,当女儿刚降生时,would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, 会分分钟就跑到婴儿床边去查看女儿是否还在呼吸的那个父亲 proudly showing them off to everynone we knew 会抱着女儿去找所有的熟人显摆

And that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once 变革往往艰难而缓慢,根本无法一蹴而就 But eventually we get there, we always do 但总有一天我们会成功,就如既往的那些胜利
