Creating a brilliant Beijing: Time for Action

Ladies and Gentlemen:

My topic is on creating a brilliant Beijing: Time for Action

2008 is such a common number, but many Chinese will get excited when they mention it.How can a common number attract such a strange fascination? The answer is simple and obvious: the twenty-ninth Olympic Game will be held in Beijing in the year 2008.At that time, the whole world will focus their attentions on Beijing.As the hostess, Beijing will show her beauty to the guests from all over the world.The Beijing Olympic Games will be a Green Olympic, a high technology Olympic, and a people's Olympic.Among them, a Green Olympic is the most important concept.It will show the world the determination, the ability, and the confidence of the Chinese people and their government to successfully hold a Green Olympic.To achieve such a goal, however, it needs a lot of hard work.As middle school students in Beijing, we should take on more responsibilities for our capital city's environment.Any action we take will affect the appearance of the city.Therefore, we should start with ourselves, act now, and make every possible effort.But how? You may ask.There are a lot of things we can do in our daily lives.We all know the fact that

Beijing is frequently assaulted by sand storms every year.Forests and lands have been degraded by agricultural and industrial activities.To revive those desert lands is beyond our ability, but we can plant trees around our schools or in our neighborhood communities.If everybody does so, there will be a green Beijing and we will have a Green Olympic.I don't know whether you've noticed that some students don't want to walk to school;their parents have to drive them to school every day.But nowadays, the air is polluted with automobile exhausts.What can we do about it? Ride on your bike to school and enjoy exercise!It will not only have significant benefits for your health, but also help improving our environment.In addition, if you don't drive cars, you will not go to the car wash.That will save large amount of water.If everybody does something, there will be a green Beijing and we will have a Green Olympic.Think it over, my friends.The things we can do are definitely not unrealistic.Although we cannot provide with a clean energy source, achieve a better sewage treatment system, or stop any industry from using hazardous chemicals and releasing hazardous wastes, we can save every drop of water and protect every patch of green.Make Beijing a more beautiful city, where green patches are everywhere and blue sky can be seen clearly above our heads.A Green Beijing Olympic is asking for action.Act now.Thank you!

行动起来，为北京添彩

2008，一个再普通不过的数字，但是，一提到它，会让多少中国人热血沸腾！一个数字怎么会有如此大的魔力？答案是简单而神圣的，在这一年里，北京将举办第29届奥林匹克运动会，那时，世界的目光将齐聚北京，而北京，也将以主人的身份，展现她最美丽的风采！

2008，北京的奥运将是一届绿色的奥运、科技的奥运、人文的奥运，迎奥英文演讲稿(中英对照)，演讲稿《迎奥英文演讲稿(中英对照)》。其中，绿色奥运是三个最重要的理念之一。这充分表现出我们要办好一届环保奥运的决心和信心！然而，要实现这一目标，我们要走的路还十分艰辛。

我想，作为一名北京的中学生，我们更有责任，也更有义务积极地投入到环保行动中。我们的一举手，一投足，都会给首都的市容环境带来影响。因此，我们要从我做起，从身边做起，从小事做起，努力为北京争光添彩。那么，怎样才能从小事做起呢？

其实生活中我们能做得也有很多。近年来沙尘暴肆虐北京，大家一定都有体会。过度放牧和采伐森林使土地沙漠化，虽然我们无力使所有退化土地重新成为绿洲，但至少我们可以在我们的学校植树，在我们的小区植树，如果人人都能行动起来，北京将成为绿色的北京，2008将成为绿色的奥运。

不知道同学们有没有这样的经历，自己由于懒惰不肯走路上学，于是天天让父母用汽车接送。可是现在北京汽车尾气已经严重污染了大气，难道我们应该视而不见吗？所以，停掉你家的汽车，蹬上自行车，让我们享受运动的快乐吧！

仔细想想，我们能为北京2008做的，还远远不止这些，我们虽然不能像一些科学家那样研究不污染的清洁能源，或是污水处理系统，也不能去制止所有工厂停止使用危险化学品或向天空排放废气，但我们可以节约每一滴水，保护每一片绿地，为环保尽一份微薄的力量。让2008年的北京，不论是在二环还是五环，都能看到湛蓝的天空和茵茵绿草。

谢谢大家！

第二篇：奥巴马开学演讲稿(中英对照)

奥巴马开学演讲稿（中英对照）

按语：同学们，我们为什么要上学？这个问题的答案可能五花八门。有人说是为了以后更轻松的赚钱，有人说是为了有个更好的将来，有人说是为了摆脱现在的窘境，甚至有人说仅仅是为了将来有个饭碗，有个好家庭。当然你也可以说是为了报效祖国！但是，我想还是有很多人对这个问题的理解还是很模糊的。今天，我给大家推荐一个视频，是美国总统奥巴马在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿高中面向全美中小学生发表的电视开学演讲。他用平实的语言向全美的学生讲述为什么要学习，经济窘迫、家庭问题、情感问题是否能成为与老师辩驳，消极学习的借口？他鼓励学生不畏逆境、发奋学习。请不要放弃自己，放弃自己的责任！引人深思，看完后，希望能对你有所帮助！

Wakefield High School Arlington, Virginia 韦克菲尔德高中，弗吉尼亚州，阿林顿市，September 8,2009

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'S

SCHOOLCHILDREN（原文题目：总统对学校孩子们的全国讲话）

嗨，大家好！你们今天过得怎么样？我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林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。

Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)

我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天，你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中，对你们来说，这是在新学校的第一天，因此，假如你们感到有些紧张，那也是很正常的。我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。不过，我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级，许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假，以及今天不用那么早起床。

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家在印度尼西亚住过几年，而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书，因此她决定自己给我上课——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。

I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.显然，我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来，很多时候，我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候，我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说：“小鬼，你以为教你我就很轻松？”

Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)

所以，我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学还需要时间来调整和适应，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，以及在新的学年里，你们应当做些什么。

So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.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和启迪你们，督促你们学习。

我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏。Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作，改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。

但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校，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、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、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。

而这就是我今天讲话的主题：对于自己的教育，你们中每一个人的责任。

I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.首先，我想谈谈你们对于自己有什么责任。你们中的每一个人都会有自己擅长的东西，每一个人都是有用之材，而发现自己的才能是什么，就是你们要对自己担起的责任。教育给你们提供了发现自己才能的机会。

I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.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——但假如不在英语课上经常练习写作，你不会发现自己有这样的天赋；

或许你能成为一个发明家、创造家——甚至设计出像今天的iPhone一样流行的产品，或研制出新的药物与疫苗——但假如不在自然科学课程上做上几次实验，你不会知道自己有这样的天赋；或许你能成为一名议员或最高法院法官，但假如你不去加入什么学生会或参加几次辩论赛，你也不会发现自己的才能。

Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that's assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.而且，我可以向你保证，不管你将来想要做什么，你都需要相应的教育。——你想当名医生、当名教师或当名警官？你想成为护士、成为建筑设计师、律师或军人？无论你选择哪一种职业，良好的教育都必不可少，这世上不存在不把书念完就能拿到好工作的美梦，任何工作，都需要你的汗水、训练与学习。

And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.不仅仅对于你们个人的未来有重要意义，你们的教育如何也会对这个国家、乃至世界的未来产生重要影响。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。

And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.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，和解决我们面临的能源问题与环境问题；你们需要在历史社科课程上培养出的观察力与判断力，来减轻和消除无家可归与贫困、犯罪问题和各种歧视，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累积和发展出来的创新意识和思维，去创业和建立新的公司与企业，来制造就业机会和推动经济的增长。

You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.我们需要你们中的每一个人都培养和发展自己的天赋、技能和才智，来解决我们所面对的最困难的问题。假如你不这么做——假如你放弃学习——那么你不仅是放弃了自己，也是放弃了你的国家。

当然，我明白，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各样的问题，很难把精力集中在专心读书之上。

我知道你们的感受。我父亲在我两岁时就离开了家庭，是母亲一人将我们拉扯大，有时她付不起帐单，有时我们得不到其他孩子们都有的东西，有时我会想，假如父亲在该多好，有时我会感到孤独无助，与周围的环境格格不入。We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do that--if you quit on school--you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what it's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.因此我并不总是能专心学习，我做过许多自己觉得丢脸的事情，也惹出过许多不该惹的麻烦，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，我得到了去大学读法学院、实现自己梦想的机会。我的妻子——现在得叫她第一夫人米歇尔•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，但他们和她都辛勤工作，好让她有机会去这个国家最优秀的学校读书。

So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was--I was lucky.I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.你们中有些人可能没有这些有利条件，或许你的生活中没有能为你提供帮助和支持的长辈，或许你的某个家长没有工作、经济拮据，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，等等。

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、或是辍学的借口，这些不是你不好好读书的借口。

Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.你的未来，并不取决于你现在的生活有多好或多坏。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。

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.而在这片土地上的每个地方，千千万万和你一样的年轻人正是这样在书写着自己的命运。例如德克萨斯州罗马市的贾斯敏•佩雷兹（Jazmin Perez）。刚进学校时，她根本不会说英语，她住的地方几乎没人上过大学，她的父母也没有受过高等教育，但她努力学习，取得了优异的成绩，靠奖学金进入了布朗大学，如今正在攻读公共卫生专业的博士学位。

我还想起了加利福尼亚州洛斯拉图斯市的安多尼•舒尔兹（Andoni Schultz），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——其中一次影响了他的记忆，因此他得花出比常人多几百个小时的时间来完成学业，但他从不曾落下自己的功课。这个秋天，他要开始在大学读书了。

That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University--is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer--hundreds of extra hours--to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He's headed to college this fall.又比如在我的家乡，伊利诺斯州芝加哥市，身为孤儿的香特尔•史蒂夫（Shantell Steve）换过多次收养家庭，从小在治安很差的地区长大，但她努力争取到了在当地保健站工作的机会、发起了一个让青少年远离犯罪团伙的项目，很快，她也将以优异的成绩从中学毕业，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各样的困难与问题，但他们拒绝放弃，他们选择为自己的教育担起责任、给自己定下奋斗的目标。我希望你们中的每一个人，都能做得到这些。

And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.因此，在今天，我号召你们每一个人都为自己的教育定下一个目标——并在之后，尽自己的一切努力去实现它。你的目标可以很简单，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，或在社区做些志愿工作；或许你决定为那些因为长相或出身等等原因而受嘲弄或欺负的孩子做主、维护他们的权益，因为你和我一样，认为每个孩子都应该能有一个安全的学习环境；或许你认为该学着更好的照顾自己，来为将来的学习做准备……当然，除此之外，我希望你们都多多洗手、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。

That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education--and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.不管你决定做什么，我都希望你能坚持到底，希望你能真的下定决心。

But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.我知道有些时候，电视上播放的节目会让你产生这样那样的错觉，似乎你不需要付出多大的努力就能腰缠万贯、功成名就——你会认为只要会唱rap、会打篮球或参加个什么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。

I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.因为，成功是件难事。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，你也不可能每次都遇上看起来和现实生活有关的作业。而且，并不是每件事，你都能在头一次尝试时获得成功。

The truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject that you study.You won't click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.但那没有关系。因为在这个世界上，最最成功的人们往往也经历过最多的失败。J.K.罗琳的第一本《哈利•波特》被出版商拒绝了十二次才最终出版；迈克尔•乔丹上高中时被学校的篮球队刷了下来，在他的职业生涯里，他输了几百场比赛、投失过几千次射篮，知道他是怎么说的吗？“我一生不停地失败、失败再失败，这就是我现在成功的原因。”

That's okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.J.K.Rowling's--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that's why I succeed.”

他们的成功，源于他们明白人不能让失败左右自己——而是要从中吸取经验。从失败中，你可以明白下一次自己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贵，而是在提醒你，在将来要对自己有更严格的要求；假如你考了个低分，那并不说明你就比别人笨，而是在告诉你，自己得在学习上花更多的时间。

These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.没有哪一个人一生出来就擅长做什么事情的，只有努力才能培养出技能。任何人都不是在第一次接触一项体育运动时就成为校队的代表，任何人都不是在第一次唱一首歌时就找准每一个音，一切都需要熟能生巧。对于学业也是一样，你或许要反复运算才能解出一道数学题的正确答案，你或许需要读一段文字好几遍才能理解它的意思，你或许得把论文改上好几次才能符合提交的标准。这都是很正常的。

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，恰恰相反，它说明你有勇气承认自己的不足、并愿意去学习新的知识。所以，有不懂时，就向大人们求助吧——找个你信得过的对象，例如父母、长辈、老师、教练或辅导员——让他们帮助你向目标前进。

No one's born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.你要记住，哪怕你表现不好、哪怕你失去信心、哪怕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。

And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.美国不是一个人们遭遇困难就轻易放弃的国度，在这个国家，人们坚持到底、人们加倍努力，为了他们所热爱的国度，每一个人都尽着自己最大的努力，不会给自己留任何余地。

The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.250年前，有一群和你们一样的学生，他们之后奋起努力、用一场革命最终造就了这个国家；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；就在20年前，和你们一样的学生们，他们后来创立了Google、Twitter和Facebook，改变了我们人与人之间沟通的方式。

因此，今天我想要问你们，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？

二十、五十或百年之后，假如那时的美国总统也来做一次开学演讲的话，他会怎样描述你们对这个国家所做的一切？

It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?

你们的家长、你们的老师和我，每一个人都在尽最大的努力，确保你们都能得到应有的教育来回答这些问题。例如我正在努力为你们提供更安全的教室、更多的书籍、更先进的设施与计算机。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——不要让你的家人、你的国家和你自己失望。你们要成为我们骄傲，我知道，你们一定可以做到。谢谢大家，上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美国。

Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down.Don't let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don't let yourself down.Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)

第三篇：迎青奥演讲稿

迎青奥我为六合发展做贡献

各位领导，同志们：大家好！

我来自六合区委党校，很荣幸参加今天的演讲比赛，我演讲的题目是《迎青奥我为六合发展做贡献》。

2010年2月11日，是令南京人民终生难忘的日子。在温哥华举行的国际奥委会第122次全会上传来好消息----中国南京成功取得2014年夏季青年奥运会的举办权。整个中国沸腾了，整个南京沸腾了，2014年奥林匹克圣火将再次在中华大地上点燃，这是中国的骄傲，是江苏的骄傲，更是每一个南京人的骄傲！青奥会是一个“年轻”的奥运会，中国是继新加坡后，成为第二个举办青奥会的国家。同时，作为六朝古都的南京，举办第二届青奥会是一次极为重大而宝贵的机遇，它必将使全市人民更加“热爱祖国、热爱南京”，也必将使全市人民更加充满信心。我们要倍加珍惜这一历史机遇，万众一心，全力以赴迎接盛会；我们要以崭新的面貌、优质的形象向世界展示南京的魅力；我们要秉承南京提出的“让奥运走进青年，让青年走进奥运”的理念，使青奥会成为世界青年健康、快乐、成长的舞台；我们要与世界各国的青少年朋友一道，共同点燃奥运的圣火，让文明灿烂的奥运火焰在我们的胸中燃烧！

备战青奥，南京在行动，南京人在行动，我们六合区也在行动。当前，我区紧扣“三年财政收入翻一番，五年再造一个六合城”目标，抢抓历史机遇，发扬“三不五干”新六合精神，开拓创新，克难奋进，提速建设江北现代化新市区。南京成功申办2014年青奥会，为六合的跨越发展带来了千载难逢的历史机遇，也为我们更好地宣传六合、展示六合提供了难得的机会。作为一名南京六合市民，作为一名青年教师、党员志愿者，我想我们每一个人也都应该为青奥会的举办，为了六合经济社会的发展贡献自己的一份力量，以自己的实际行动迎接青奥会的到来，以自己良好的素质向青奥会展示：一要从我做起，从现在做起，从点滴做起，勤练业务技能，干好本职工作，以实际行动全力支持青奥、迎接青奥，服务六合发展，全面展示六合青年的时代风采；二要做文明新风的引领者，自觉遵守社会公德，遵守公共秩序，积极倡导社会文明风，为创建文明城市、文明村镇、文明社区、文明校园做出自己的贡献；三要做服务青奥会的志愿者，践行志愿服务理念，积极进取、热情服务，团结协作、奋力拼搏，为六合争光，为青奥添彩；四要做奥运风尚的传播者，从现在开始，学习和宣传奥运知识，弘扬奥林匹克精神，积极参与文化交流活动，了解六合的历史与变化，用手中的笔记录下市民眼中的新六合，拿起相机、摄像机拍下快速发展中的新六合。

同志们，南京申办青奥会的口号是“与青奥会共成长”，那么，就让我们青年人携起手来，一起去践行成长的足迹，一起去见证圣火的光辉，一起为青奥会喝彩，为南京加油，为六合发展作出自己的贡献！

第四篇：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.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。

第五篇：奥巴马父亲节演讲稿中英对照版

Good morning.It's good to be home on this Father's Day with my girls, and it's an honor to spend some time with all of you today in the house of our Lord.早上好。在家里陪伴我的女儿是一件乐事，在教堂与各位共度也是我的荣幸。

At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus closes by saying, “Whoever hears these words of mine, and does them, shall be likened to a wise man who built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.” [Matthew 7: 24-25]在《登山宝训》的结尾，耶稣最后说：“无论谁听了我的话，并付诸实践，都应该会成为一位能在坚石上建造房屋的智者。大雨过后，洪水泛滥，狂风怒号，击打屋舍，但房屋不倒，是因为其建立在坚石之上。”（马太福音，第七章24-25）

Here at Apostolic, you are blessed to worship in a house that has been founded on the rock of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.But it is also built on another rock, another foundationa congregation that, because of his leadership, has braved the fierce winds and heavy rains of violence and poverty;joblessness and hopelessness.Because of his work and his ministry, there are more graduates and fewer gang members in the neighborhoods surrounding this church.There are more homes and fewer homeless.There is more community and less chaos because Bishop Brazier continued the march for justice that he began by Dr.King's side all those years ago.He is the reason this house has stood tall for half a century.And on this Father's Day, it must make him proud to know that the man now charged with keeping its foundation strong is his son and your new pastor, Reverend Byron Brazier.在这里，你们被寄予希望到教堂中做礼拜，这是由耶稣基督，我们的主，我们的先知所建立的，另一个基础——坚石是主教 亚瑟 布拉泽尔。在过去的四十八年间，他将集会人数从几百发展到了两万多，在他的领导下，我们勇敢的面对暴力和贫困，失业和失望的狂风暴雨。在他的努力下，围绕着教堂的社区里，有越来越多的毕业生，越来越少的帮派成员。越来越多的人安了家，无家可归者则越来越少。有越来越多的社区，越来越少的混乱，因为亚瑟布拉泽尔继续着他多年前就开始了的马丁路德金式的对正义的追求。他是这座教堂历经半个世纪依然屹立的唯一理由。在这个父亲节，得知今天继续坚持这个坚实的基础的人是他的儿子和新的牧师，拜伦布拉泽尔，一定会使他感到骄傲。

Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important.And we are called to recognize and honor how critical every father is to that foundation.They are teachers and coaches.They are mentors and role models.They are examples of success and the men who constantly push us toward it.今天，在我们建立我们的生活的所有基础之上，我们应该记得家庭是最重要的。在此基础上，我们应该承认父亲的重要并尊敬他们。他们是老师，是教练。他们是导师，是行为的楷模。他们是成功的范例，是不断将我们推向成功的人。

But if we are honest with ourselves, we'll admit that what too many fathers also are is missingdoubledthat children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime;nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison.They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves.And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.我们都知道这在黑人社区中是多么的常见。我们都知道半数以上的黑人孩子生活在单亲家庭中，这个数字被乘以二，再乘以二，自从我们还是孩子时。我们知道这些统计数字：在没有父亲的情况下成长的孩子生活在贫困和犯罪中的概率五倍于在有父亲的情况下成长的孩子；辍学的概率九倍于在有父亲的情况下成长的孩子；在监狱中终其一生的概率是在有父亲的情况下成长的孩子的二十倍。他们也更容易有行为问题，更容易离家出走，更容易成为青少年父母。而因此，我们社区的基础也变得薄弱。

How many times in the last year has this city lost a child at the hands of another child? How many times have our hearts stopped in the middle of the night with the sound of a gunshot or a siren? How many teenagers have we seen hanging around on street corners when they should be sitting in a classroom? How many are sitting in prison when they should be working, or at least looking for a job? How many in this generation are we willing to lose to poverty or violence or addiction? How many?在过去的一年里，在这座城市中，多少孩子死于单挑斗殴？多少人在午夜睡梦中，随着一声枪响或一声警笛停止了心跳？我们曾看到多少孩子在街角闲逛，当他们本应坐在教室里的时候？多少人应在工作或至少找工作时，却被囚禁在监狱里？这一代人有多少是我们愿意在贫困、暴力和毒品中失去的？有多少?

Yes, we need more cops on the street.Yes, we need fewer guns in the hands of people who shouldn't have them.Yes, we need more money for our schools, and more

outstanding teachers in the classroom, and more afterschool programs for our children.Yes, we need more jobs and more job training and more opportunity in our communities.是的，我们需要更多的巡警在街头。是的，我们需要那些不应该拥有枪支的人手中拥有更少的枪支。是的，我们需要更多的资金投入到学校，更多的杰出的老师在教室中授课，以及更多的课后活动给我们的孩子们。是的，我们需要更多的工作，更多的工作指导，更多的机会在我们的社区里。

But we also need families to raise our children.We need fathers to realize that

responsibility does not end at conception.We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a childwho worked with her to teach us about love and respect and the obligations we have to one another.I screwed up more often than I should've, but I got plenty of second chances.And even though we didn't have a lot of money, scholarships gave me the opportunity to go to some of the best schools in the country.A lot of kids don't get these chances today.There is no margin for error in their lives.So my own story is different in that way.我知道这说明我曾有父爱的缺失，虽然我情况比起今天很多年轻人要好很多。即使我的父亲在我两岁时离开了我们，我也仅仅从他的书信和家人的讲述中了解他，但我比大多数人幸运很多。我在夏威夷长大，从堪萨斯来的祖父母倾其所有帮助母亲抚养我的姐姐和我。他们和母亲一道教育我们爱，尊重和对别人的责任。我比理论上更多地犯错，但为我总有第二次机会。虽然我们不怎么有钱，但奖学金给了我机会到全美一些最好的学校学习。今天，很多孩子却不能得到那样的机会。经济条件不允许他们在人生中有任何过失。所以，我自己的故事倒是有些不同。

Still, I know the toll that being a single parent took on my motherthat if I could be anything in life, I would be a good father to my girls;that if I could give them anything, I would give them that rockon which to build their lives.And that would be the greatest gift I could offer.然而，我的确知道做一名像我母亲一样的单身母亲所需付出的代价——她怎样努力去为我们支付学费；给我们和其他孩子一样的东西；扮演父亲和母亲的角色。我也知道我所付出的代价。所以，我多年前就下定决心，把打破这循环作为我的责任——在我所能做的所有事中，我会做我女儿的好父亲；在所有我能给予她们的东西中，我会给她们一个坚实的基础，使她们能够在此之上建立自己的生活。而这也将是我所能给予她们的最好的礼物。I say this knowing that I have been an imperfect fatherwhether we are black or white;rich or poor;from the South Side or the wealthiest suburb.我虽这样说，但我当然知道我不是一个完美的父亲；我当然知道我犯了很多错误，也会继续犯更多错误；我也希望我能花比现在更多的时间在家里陪伴我的女儿和妻子。我这样说，因为我知道这一切都由于我们的不完美，由于我们所面对的困境，作为父亲，仍然有许多需要去努力学习，努力谋生——无论我们是黑人或白人；富有或贫困；来自南方或富人聚居的城郊。

The first is setting an example of excellence for our childrenas fathers and parentsthe ability to stand in somebody else's shoes;to look at the world through their eyes.Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in “us,” that we forget about our obligations to one another.There's a culture in our society that says remembering these obligations is somehow softyou're strong by lifting them up.That's our responsibility as fathers.And by the wayprograms that have helped increase father involvement, women's employment, and children's readiness for school.We should help these new families care for their children by expanding maternity and paternity leave, and we should guarantee every worker more paid sick leave so they can stay home to take care of their child without losing their income.我们应该使那些负责的父亲的生活共容易，使那些不负责任的父亲的生活更加困难。我们应该免除对现在已婚夫妇的征税，我们要确保对孩子们每一分钱的抚养费都能使他们直接受益，而不落入贪官污吏的口袋。我们应该减免那些为孩子支付工作训练，寻找工作机会的父亲们的所得税，以此帮助他们支付生活所需。我们应该扩大让注册护士照看孕妇并教授他们自护、护理婴儿的项目——该项目促进了父亲们对家庭的投

入，母亲们的外出自谋职业以及孩子们的入学率。我们应该为这些新的家庭提供照顾孩子的条件，延长产假和陪产假，并且我们应该支付请假的员工更多的工资，以便他们能够呆在家照顾孩子而不必担心工资的损失。

We should take all of these steps to build a strong foundation for our children.But we should also know that even if we do;even if we meet our obligations as fathers and parents;even if Washington does its part too, we will still face difficult challenges in our lives.There will still be days of struggle and heartache.The rains will still come and the winds will still blow.我们要实现这这些步骤，从而为我们的孩子建立一个坚实的基础。但我们也知道，尽管我们这样做，尽管我们履行了我们作为父母的责任，尽管华盛顿也做好了自己该做的，我们在生活中仍要面对许多艰难的挑战。仍然会有奋斗的日子，心痛的时刻。雨会继续下，风会继续吹。And that is why the final lesson we must learn as fathers is also the greatest gift we can pass on to our childrenhow do I make my way in the world, and how do I become successful and how do I get the things that I want.当我年轻时，我认为生活就是为了我自己——我怎样找到自己的方向，怎样变得成功，怎样得到我想要的。

But now, my life revolves around my two little girls.And what I think about is what kind of world I'm leaving them.Are they living in a country where there's a huge gap between a few who are wealthy and a whole bunch of people who are struggling every day? Are they living in a country that is still divided by race? A country where, because they're girls, they don't have as much opportunity as boys do? Are they living in a country where we are

hated around the world because we don't cooperate effectively with other nations? Are they living a world that is in grave danger because of what we've done to its climate?但现在，我的生活围绕着我的两个小女儿。而我所想的是我该给她们一个怎样的世界。她们是否生活在一个存在富人和穷人之间巨大鸿沟的国家？她们还是否生活在由肤色将人区分的国家？在这个国家，是否因为她们是女孩，所以得不到和男孩同等的机会？她们是否生活在一个怒视全世界的国家，因为我们不会和其他国家友好合作？她们是否生活在一个极度危险的世界，由于我们对环境的破坏？

And what I've realized is that life doesn't count for much unless you're willing to do your small part to leave our childrena better world.Even if it's difficult.Even if the work seems great.Even if we don't get very far in our lifetime.我认识到了，生命不以多少来计算，除非你愿意尽自己所能为孩子们留下一个更美好的世界。虽然这很困难。虽然这项工程显得巨大。虽然在有生之年我们无法做得太多。

That is our ultimate responsibility as fathers and parents.We try.We hope.We do what we can to build our house upon the sturdiest rock.And when the winds come, and the rains fall, and they beat upon that house, we keep faith that our Father will be there to guide us, and watch over us, and protect us, and lead His children through the darkest of storms into light of a better day.That is my prayer for all of us on this Father's Day, and that is my hope for this country in the years ahead.May God Bless you and your children.Thank you.这是我们作为父亲，作为父母最终、最大的责任。我们尽力，我们希望：我们尽自己所能将房屋建立在坚石上，风雨交加，击打这房屋，但我们要保持信心，因为我们的父亲将会在那儿引导我们，照看我们，保护我们，他会领着他的孩子们穿过这最黑暗的暴风雨，进入新的一天更美好的阳光中。这是我为所有人在父亲节的祈祷，也是我对祖国未来几年的期望。上帝保佑你和你的孩子。谢谢。
