奥巴马2012新年贺词
美国总统发表新年贺词
奥巴马发表新年贺词称将带给美国更多改变2012年01月01日美国总统奥巴马31日在今年最后一次每周例行讲话中向全体美国人民送上新年祝福，这位曾高举“改变”大旗入主白宫的总统在新年贺词中仍主打“改变”牌，他相信2012年将会带给美国更多的“改变”。
在这次辞旧迎新的讲话中，奥巴马首先盘点了自己一年来兑现的有关“改变”的诺言，他历数了2011年美国取得的改变和进步：包括结束了一场战争(伊拉克战争)、正在逐渐终结另外一场战争(阿富汗战争)、沉重打击了“基地组织”、支持了美国的朋友和盟国应对自然灾害或进行革命，美国经济开始出现复苏迹象等等。
对于即将迎来的2012年，奥巴马也充满希望，他相信2012年毫无疑问将带来更多积极改变，包括让美国经济增长，创造更多就业机会，并使中产阶级更加壮大。
奥巴马表示，自己之所以充满希望，是因为看到美国国会议员在今年圣诞节前的最后一刻为美国人做出了正确的选择，不仅防止了1.6亿美国人的工资税的增加，而且还延长了失业救济。
奥巴马不忘将此归功于“群众的力量”，他认为国会之所以做了上述正确的事，正是因为很多美国人通过电子邮件、电话、推特等社交网络向议员们发出了自己的声音，才使事情发生变化。
面对即将到来的2012年美国总统大选，奥巴马也发出了类似“选战”的语言，他对美国人说，“你们就是使我对2012年充满希望之所在”，而大家的选择将决定未来国家乃至世界的方向。
“因为我们将面临一些困难的辩论和艰难的战斗，正如我以前所说，我们正处在一个对中产阶级而言成败攸关的关键时刻。
”奥巴马说：“我们未来几个月的行动将决定我们希望要一个什么样的国家，以及我们的子孙将生活在一个什么样的世界里。
”奥巴马最后承诺，作为总统，他将尽自己所能使得美国成为一个努力工作和尽心尽责得到回报的地方。
他说，这是我们一直以来所知道的美国。
完。

2012奥巴马victory speech
President Obama victory speech in fullThank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. (Sustained(持久的) cheers, applause.)Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony（殖民地）won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. (Cheers, applause.)It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed（再次肯定）the spirit that has triumphed（成功）over war and depression(萧条), the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. (Cheers, applause.)Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come.(Cheers, applause.) I want to thank every American who participated in this election. (Cheers, applause.) Whether you voted for the very first time —(cheers) — or waited in line（排队等候）for a very long time — (cheers) — by the way, we have to fix that. (Cheers, applause.) Whether you pounded the pavement(徘徊街头行乞或找工作，俚语) or picked up the phone —(cheers, applause) — whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference（与众不同）. (Cheers, applause.)I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan ona hard-fought（激烈的）campaign. (Cheers, applause.) We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service. And that is a legacy（遗产）that we honor and applaud（喝彩，鼓掌）tonight. (Cheers, applause.) In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.(Cheers, applause.)I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. (Cheers, applause.)And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. (Cheers, applause.) Let me say this publicly. Michelle, I have never loved you more. (Cheers, applause.) I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation’s first lady. (Cheers, applause.)Sasha and Malia —(cheers, applause) —before our very eyes, you’re growing up to become two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom. (Cheers, applause.) And I am so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now, one dog’s probably enough. (Laughter.)To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics — (cheers, applause) — the best — the best ever — (cheers, applause) — some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.(Cheers, applause.) But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together. (Cheers, applause.) And you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way — (cheers, applause) — to every hill, to every valley. (Cheers, applause.) You lifted me up the whole day, and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work th at you’ve put in. (Cheers, applause.)I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym or — or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else. You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who’s working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. (Cheers, applause.) You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s going doo r to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. (Cheers, applause.)You’ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who’s working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home. (Cheers, applause.)That’s why we do this. That’s what politics can be. That’s why elections matter. It’s not small, it’s big. It’s important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy. That won’t change after tonight. And it shouldn’t. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty, and we can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter — (cheers, applause) — the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future.We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers — (cheers, applause) — a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation —(scattered cheers, applause) — with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow.We want our children to live in a n America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened up by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. (Cheers, applause.)We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this — this world has ever known — (cheers, applause) — but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America open to the dreams of an immigrant’s daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag — (cheers, applause) — to the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner —(cheers, applause) —to the furniture worker’s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president.That’s the — (cheers, applause) —that’s the future we hope for.(Cheers, applause.) That’s the vision we share. That’s where we need to go —forward. (Cheers, applause.) That’s where we need to go. (Cheers, applause.)Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. It’s not always a straight line. It’s not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won’t end all the gridlock, resolve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward.But that common bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. A decade of war is ending. (Cheers, applause.) A long campaign is now over. (Cheers, applause.) And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you. And you’ve made me a better president. And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead. (Cheers, applause.)Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual. (Cheers, applause.) You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together —reducing our deficit, reforming out tax code, fixing our immigration sys tem, freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We’ve got more work to do. (Cheers, applause.)But that doesn’t mean your work is done. The role of citizens in our democracy does not end with your vote. America’s never been about what can be done for us; it’s abo ut what can be done by us together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. (Cheers, applause.) That’s the principle we were founded on.This country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us rich. We hav e the most powerful military in history, but that’s not what makes us strong. Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that’s not what keeps the world coming to our shores. What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth, the belief that our destiny is shared — (cheers, applause) — that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that the freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That’s what makes America great. (Cheers, applause.)I am hopeful tonight because I have seen this spirit at work in America. I’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job. I’ve seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back. (Cheers, applause.) I’ve seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm. (Cheers, applause.)And I saw it just the other day in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care. (Cheers, applause.) I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowd, listening to that father’s story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own.And I know that every American wants her fu ture to be just as bright. That’s who we are. That’s the country I’m so proud to lead as your president. (Cheers, applause.)And tonight, despite all the hardship we’ve been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I’ve never been more hopeful about our future. (Cheers, applause.) I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope.AUDIENCE MEMBER: We got your back, Mr. President!PRESIDENT OBAMA: I’m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path. I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting. (Cheers, applause.)America, I believe we can build on the progress we’ve made and co ntinue to fight for new jobs and new opportunities and new security for the middle class.I believe we can keep the promise of our founding, the idea that if you’re wil ling to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love (ph). It doesn’t matter whether you’re black orwhite or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. (Cheers, applause.) You can make it here in America if you’re willing to try.(Cheers, applause.)I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We’re not as cynical as the pundits belie ve. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and forever will be, the United States of America. (Cheers, applause.)And together, with your help and God’s grace, we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth. (Cheers, applause.) Thank you, America. (Cheers, applause.) God bless you. God bless these United States. (Cheers, applause.)。

巴马携其夫人米歇尔在白宫发布了2012年度圣诞节
总统奥巴马：各位好。在这个周末，值此家人朋友团聚之际，我和米歇尔愿祝各位圣诞快乐、节日愉快。
THE FIRST LADY: We both love this time of year, and there’s nothing quite like celebrating the holidays at the White House. It’s an incredible experience and one that we try to share with as many folks as possible. This month, more than 90,000 people will come through the White House to see the holiday decorations. And our theme for this year’s holiday season was “Joy to All” – a reminder to appreciate the many joys of the holidays: the joy of giving…the joy of service…and, of course, the joy of homecomings.

奥巴马2012新年贺词--Working Together in the New Year
Hello, everybody. As 2011 comes to an end and we look ahead to 2012, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.
大家好！2011接近尾声，2012马上来临。
值此新春之际，我祝愿大家新年快乐，健康幸福！
The last year has been a time of great challenge and great progress for our country. We ended one war and began to wind down another. We dealt a crippling blow to al-Qaeda and made America more secure. We stood by our friends and allies around the world through natural disasters and revolutions. And we began to see signs of economic recovery here at home, even as too many Americans are still struggling to get ahead.
过去的一年我们国家遇到了很大的挑战也取得了很大的成就。
我们结束了一场战争，另一场也接近尾声。
我们重创了基地组织，让美国更加安宁。
我们与全球的伙伴和盟友们一起面对自然灾害和变革。
尽管还有很多的人依然要艰苦支撑，但我们很欣慰的看到美国的经济有了复苏的迹象。
There's no doubt that 2012 will bring even more change. And as we head into the New Year, I'm hopeful that we have what it takes to face that change and come out even stronger – to grow our economy, create more jobs, and strengthen the middle class.
毫无疑问，2012将带来更多改变。
在我们进入新年之际，我真心希望我们能应对这些改变，而且变得更加强大——促进经济增长，创造就业，巩固中产阶级地位。
I'm hopeful because of what we saw right before Christmas, when Members of Congress came together to prevent a tax hike for 160 million Americans – saving a typical family about $40 in every paycheck. They also made sure Americans looking for work won't see their unemployment insurance cut off. And I expect Congress to finish the job by extending these provisions through the end of 2012.
我之所以充满希望，是因为我们看到在圣诞节前，国会议员一起努力避免1.6亿美国人民的税负上升——这为一般家庭在每份薪水单上节省了40美元。
他们还确保了美国人民在失业时的保险不被终止。
我期待着国会能在2012年将这些工作完成好。
It was good to see Members of Congress do the right thing for millions of working Americans. But it was only possible because you added your voices to the debate. Through email and Twitter and over the phone, you let your representatives know what was at stake. Your lives. Your families. Your well-being. You had the courage to believe that your voices could make a difference. And at the end of the day, they made all the difference.
很高兴能看到国会议员们为千百万工薪人员做些好事情。
但这是因为有你们参加的辩论，发表了自己的意见，这一切才成为可能。
通过电邮、推特、或电话，你们让你们的代表知道什么才是最重要的。
那就是你们的生命、你们的家庭和你们的幸福。
你们有勇气相信自己的声音会带来改变。
在一天结束时，这些让一切都发生了改变。
More than anything else, you are the ones who make me hopeful about 2012. Because we've got some difficult debates and some tough fights to come. As I've said before, we are at a make-or-break moment for the middle class. And in many ways, the actions we take in the months ahead will help determine what kind of country we want to be, and what kind of world we want our children and grandchildren to grow up in.
更重要的是，你们让我对2012充满期待。
因为我们还将面临很多艰难的辩论和艰苦的斗争。
如同以前我所说过的，我们处在对中产阶级而言不成则败的关键时期。
从许多方面来说，在未来几个月里我们的行动将决定我们将成为什么样的国家，以及我们希望我们的子孙在什么样的世界中成长。
As President, I promise to do everything I can to make America a place where hard work and responsibility are rewarded –one where everyone has a fair shot and everyone does their fair share. That's the America I believe in. That's the America we've always known. And I'm confident that if we work together, and if you keep reminding folks in Washington what's at stake, then we will move this country forward and guarantee every American the opportunities they deserve.
作为总统，我承诺我将竭尽全力让美国成为辛勤劳动和责任心受到奖励的地方——成为每个人都享有公平的机会并承担公平的义务的地方。
这是我所信赖的美国。
这也是大家所熟知的美国。
我相信，只要我们团结一致，让华盛顿知道什么才是最重要的，那么，我们就能让国家继续前进，并保证每个美国人都能得到应得的机会。
Thanks for watching, and from Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo and myself, Happy New Year
谢谢收看。
米歇尔、玛莉亚、萨莎、波和我一起祝大家新年快乐。
