奥巴马演讲稿，能进中学早读课吗？
作者：杜春香
来源：《高中生学习·高一版》2013年第12期
今秋开学的第三天，在上午7点的早读课上，安徽省合肥市寿春中学约100个班级的3000多名中学生，都掏出了一份由学校统一发放的演讲稿，作为早读的“课本”。这份演讲稿是美国现任总统奥巴马于2009年9月8日在美国阿林顿中学开学典礼上的一篇开学讲话。在这个题为“我们为什么要上学？”的演讲稿中，奥巴马用自己的亲身经历和一些美国人的事迹，告诉孩子们，为什么要上学？是因为“教育给你们提供了发现自己才能的机会”。奥巴马说，或许你能成为一个发明家、创造家，但假如不在自然科学课上做几次实验，你不会知道自己有这样的天赋。
另外，奥巴马还在演讲中说，一些人可能没有有利条件，但是“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”，每个人要对自己负责任。
最后，奥巴马说，并不是每件事，都能在第一次尝试时就能获得成功，“最最成功的人们往往也经历过最多的失败，但人不能让失败左右自己，而是要从中吸取经验”。
早读课上的新鲜体验引起了一些家长的议论：“早读课不读课本，不背诗文，怎么读起了美国总统的演讲稿呢？”该新闻报道后，更是引起了广大网友的热议：美国现任总统奥巴马的演讲稿能够进入中学课堂吗？
第二篇：奥巴马演讲稿
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.你们的家人、你们的老师和我正在竭尽全力保证你们接受必要的教育，以便回答上述问题。我正在努力工作，以便你们的教室得到修缮，你们能够得到学习所需的课本、设备和电脑。但你们也必须尽自己的努力。因此，我希望你们大家从今年起认真对待这个问题。我希望你们尽最大努力做好每一件事。我希望你们每个人都有出色的表现。不要让我们失望。不要让你们的家人或你们的国家失望。而最重要的是，不要辜负你们自己，而要让我们都能[为你们]感到骄傲。

Hello, Chicago.您好，芝加哥。
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.A#F1QR#4q21A{U6 KX2O7U0~ G$^1A9#bE9
如果还有人仍在怀疑美国是否是一个一切皆有可能的国度的话，如果还有人仍在疑虑我们美国的缔造者的梦想是否还存在于我们这个时代的话，如果还有人仍在质疑我们民主的力量的话，今晚你就可以得到答案。

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.T#+Xy+$06BQmAxV8S7#@

第四篇：奥巴马演讲稿
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。
