奥巴马夫人演讲原文(精彩演讲).
以下是英语原文 :Transcript: Michelle Obama's Convention Speech September 4,2012Thank you so much, Elaine...we are so grateful for your family's service and sacrifice...and we will always have your back.Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country. And everywhere I've gone, in the people I've met, and the stories I've heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit.I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls. I've seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay.I've seen it in people who become heroes at a moment's notice, diving into harm's way to save others...flying across the country to put out a fire...driving for hours to bail out a flooded town.And I've seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families...in wounded warriors who tell me they're not just going to walk again, they're going to run, and1they're going to run marathons...in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, "...I'd give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do."Every day, the people I meet inspire me...every day, they make me proud...every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege...but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we'd begun.While I believed deeply in my husband's vision for this country...and I was certain he would make an extraordinary President...like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance.How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight?PBS NewsHour/YouTubeFirst lady Michelle Obama addresses the DNC after being introduced by military mom Elaine Brye, from PBS NewsHour. How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they'd ever known?2Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys...Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house...and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both.And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls...I deeply loved the man I had built that life with...and I didn't want that to change if he became President.I loved Barack just the way he was.You see, even though back then Barack was a Senator and a presidential candidate...to me, he was still the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door...he was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.But when Barack started telling me about his family – that's when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like mine.You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable –their3unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves. My father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when my brother and I were young.And even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain...I knew there were plenty of mornings when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of bed.But every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his uniform.And when he returned home after a long day's work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him...watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our arms.But despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work...he and my mom were determined to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream of. And when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants.4But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself.And every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell short.He was so proud to be sending his kids to college...and he made sure we never missed a registration deadline because his check was late.You see, for my dad, that's what it meant to be a man. Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in life – being able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family.And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he'd grown up all the way across the country, he'd been brought up just like me.Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay the bills, and by grandparents who stepped in when she needed help.Barack's grandmother started out as a secretary at a community bank...and she moved quickly up the ranks...but like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling.And for years, men no more qualified than she was – men she had actually trained –were promoted up the ladder ahead5of her, earning more and more money while Barack's family continued to scrape by.But day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus...arriving at work before anyone else...giving her best without complaint or regret.And she would often tell Barack, "So long as you kids do well, Bar, that's all that really matters."Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much.They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did...in fact, they admired it. They simply believed in that fundamental American promise that, even if you don't start out with much, if you work hard and do what you're supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids and grandkids.That's how they raised us...that's what we learned from their example.We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make...that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.6We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters...that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules...and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean...and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.Those are the values Barack and I – and so many of you – are trying to pass on to our own children.That's who we are.And standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn't want any of that to change if Barack became President.Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are – it reveals who you are.You see, I've gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks like.And I've seen how the issues that come across a President's desk are always the hard ones – the problems where no amount7of data or numbers will get you to the right answer...the judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for error.And as President, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people.But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are.So when it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother. He's thinking about the pride that comes from a hard day's work.That's why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women get equal pay for equal work.That's why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its feet. That's how he brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again – jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right here in the United States of America.8When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president.He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to do politically – that's not how he was raised – he cared that it was the right thing to do.He did it because he believes that here in America, our grandparents should be able to afford their medicine...our kids should be able to see a doctor when they're sick...and no one in this country should ever go broke because of an accident or illness.And he believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care...that's what my husband stands for.When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could've attended college without financial aid.And believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage.We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.9That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political – they're personal.Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles. He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago.10He's the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work...because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives.He's the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew.That's the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships.That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent him.The letter from the father struggling to pay his bills...from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won't cover her care...from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities.I see the concern in his eyes...and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, "You won't believe what these folks are going through, Michelle...it's not right. We've got to keep working to fix this. We've got so much more to do."I see how those stories – our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams – I see how that's what drives Barack Obama every single day.And I didn't think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago...even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met.I love that he's never forgotten how he started.I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard – especially when it's hard. I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as "us" and "them" – he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above...he knows that we all love our country...and he's always ready to listen to good ideas...he's always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it – whenwe're worried that the bill won't pass,and it seems like all is lost – Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise.Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward...with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.And he reminds me that we are playing a long game here...and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once.But eventually we get there, we always do.We get there because of folks like my Dad...folks like Barack's grandmother...men and women who said to themselves, "I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will...maybe my grandchildren will."So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love...because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard. So today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming – or even impossible – let us never forget that doing the impossible is the history of this nation...it's who we are as Americans...it's how this country was built.And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us...if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, senda man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of abutton...then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids.And if so many brave men and women could wear our country's uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental rights...then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights...surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election Day. If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love...then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.Because in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country – the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle.That is what has made my story, and Barack's story, and so many other American stories possible.And I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady...and not just as a wife.You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still "mom-in-chief."My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world.But today, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing what's best for our girls. Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters...if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise...if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility – that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you're willing to work for it...then we must work like never before...and we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward...my husband, our President, President Barack Obama.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.。

奥巴马总统、第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马2020年圣诞节英语演讲稿
奥巴马总统、第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马2020年圣诞节英语演讲稿导读：本文是关于奥巴马总统、第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马2020年圣诞节英语演讲稿，希望能帮助到您！THE pRESIDENT: Hello everybody, and happy holidays.THE FIRST LADY: We know how busy this time of year is for everyone, so we’re not going totake much of your time.But we did want to take a moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas, from our family to yours.THE pRESIDENT: This is a season for millions of Americans to be together with family, tocontinue long-held holiday traditions, and to show our gratitude to those we love. And alongthe way, some of us might even watch a little basketball or eat some Christmas cookies, too.THE FIRST LADY: Here at the White House, over the past few weeks, we’ve had about 70,000people from all across the country come visit us and look at our holiday decorations.This year’s theme was “Gather Around: Stories of the Season.”And in every room of the house, we tried to tell a story about who we are as Americans and howwe celebrate the holidays together.And we made certain to highlight some of the most powerful stories we know—the stories ofour outstanding troops, veterans, andmilitary families and their service and sacrifice for ourcountry.THE pRESIDENT: Our extraordinary men and women in uniform are serving so that therest of us can enjoy the blessings we cherish during the holidays. But that means many of ourtroops are far from home and far from family. They’re spending some extra time on the phonewith their loved ones back home. Or they’re setting up video chats so they can watch as thepresents are opened. So today, we want all of our troops to know that you’re in our thoughtsand prayers this holiday season.And here’s the good news: For many of our troops and newest veterans, this might be the firsttime in years that they’ve been with their families on Christmas. In fact, with the Iraq war overand the transition in Afghanistan, fewer of our men and women in uniform are deployed inharm’s way than at any time in the last decade.THE FIRST LADY: And that’s something we all can be thankful for.And with more and more of our troops back here at home, now it’s our turn to serve—it’s ourturn to step up and show our gratitude for the military families who have given us so much.And that’s why Jill Biden and I started our Joining Forces initiative—to rally all Americans tosupport our military families in ways large and small.And again and again, we have been overwhelmed by the response we’ve gotten as folks fromacross the country have found new ways to give back to these families through their schools,businesses, andhouses of worship.THE pRESIDENT: That’s the same spirit of giving that connects all of us during the holidays.So many people all across the country are helping out at soup kitchens, buying gifts for childrenin need, or organizing food or clothing drives for their neighbors. For families like ours, thatservice is a chance to celebrate the birth of Christ and live out what He taught us – to love ourneighbors as we would ourselves; to feed the hungry and look after the sick; to be our brother’skeeper and our sister’s keeper. And for all of us as Americans, regardless of our faith, those arevalues that can drive us to be better parents and friends, better neighbors and better citizens.THE FIRST LADY: So as we look to the New Year, let’s pledge ourselves to living out thosevalues by reaching out and lifting up those in our communities who could use a hand up.THE pRESIDENT: So Merry Christmas, everyone. And from the two of us, as well as Malia,Sasha, Grandma, Bo…THE FIRST LADY: And Sunny, the newest Obama.THE pRESIDENT: We wish you all a blessed and safe holiday season.THE FIRST LADY: Happy holidays everybody, and God bless.。
英语演讲原文：奥巴马演讲 奥巴马夫妇圣诞节祝词
奥巴马演讲奥巴马夫妇圣诞节祝词THE PRESIDENT: Hi everyone. As you gather with family and friends this weekend, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I – and of course Bo – want to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.THE FIRST LADY: This is such a wonderful time of year.It's a time to honor 1 the story of love and redemption（拯救，偿还）that began 2,000 years ago … a time to see the world through a child's eyes and rediscover the magic all around us … and a time to give thanks for the gifts that bless us every single day.This holiday season at the White House, we wanted to show our thanks with a special holiday tribute 2 to some of the strongest, bravest, and most resilient（有弹力的） members of our American family – the men and women who wear our country's uniform and the families who support them.THE PRESIDENT: For many military families, the best gift this year is a simple one – welcoming a loved one back for the holidays. You see, after nearly nine years, our war in Iraq is over. Our troops are coming home. And across America,military families are being reunited.So let's take a moment to give thanks for their service; for their families' service; for our veterans 3 ' service. And let's say a prayer for all our troops standing 4 post all over the world, especially our brave men and women in Afghanistan who are serving, even as we speak, in harm's way to protect the freedoms and security 5 we hold dear.THE FIRST LADY: Our veterans, troops, and military families sacrifice so much for us.So this holiday season, let's make sure that all of them know just how much we appreciate everything they do.Let's ask ourselves, "How can I give back? How can my family serve them as well as they've served us"One way you can get started is to visit to find out how you can get involved in your community.THE PRESIDENT: Giving of ourselves; service to others –that's what this season is all about. For my family and millions of Americans, that's what Christmas is all about. It reminds us that part of what it means to love God is to love one another,to be our brother's keeper and our sister's keeper. But that belief is not just at the center of our Christian 6 faith, it's shared by Americans of all faiths and backgrounds. It's why so many of us, every year, volunteer our time to help those most in need; especially our hungry and our homeless.So whatever you believe, wherever you're from, let's remember the spirit of service that connects us all this season – as Americans. Each of us can do our part to serve our communities and our country, not just today, but every day.THE FIRST LADY: So from our family to yours, Merry Christmas.THE PRESIDENT: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everybody.■文章重点单词注释：1honorn.光荣；敬意；荣幸；vt.给…以荣誉；尊敬参考例句：I take your visit as a great honor.您的来访是我莫大的光荣。

Remarks by the First Lady at Number Seven SchoolChengdu, ChinaMarch 25, XXNi hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thankyou so much for your warm welcome.Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that ourhearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As I saidthis past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all ofthem in our thoughts and our prayers at thistremendously difficult time.So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate,Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, andyou should be very proud. Thank you so much. (Applause.) And I want to thankall of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of youjoining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderfulschool.Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School.It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the studentsat this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they werebursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about whatthey had seen.But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions aboutChina. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, butinstead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure thatthey’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how touse chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote-- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.”Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away fromeach other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’seasy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eatdifferent foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meetyoung people from so many countries, I’m alwaysstruck by how much more we havein common. And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China.You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, mybrother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largestcities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t havemuch money, but our little home was bursting with love. Every evening, my familywould laugh and share stories over dinner. We’d play card games and have fun forhours. And on summer nights, I remember, when our apartment got too hot, we’dall sleep outside on our back porch.Family meant everything to us, including our extended family. My grandparentslived nearby, and my elderly great aunt and uncle lived in the apartment downstairsfrom us. And when their health started to decline my parents stepped in, helping myuncle shave and dress each morning, dashing downstairs in the middle of the night tocheck on my aunt.So in my family, like in so many of your families, we took care of each other.And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams for me and mybrother. They had only a high school education themselves, but they weredetermined to send us both to universities.So they poured all of their love and all of their hope into us, and they worked hard.They saved every penny. And I know that wasn’t easy for them, especially for myfather. You see, my father had a serious illness called multiple sclerosis. And as hegot sicker, it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to get dressed in themorning.But no matter how tired he felt, no matter how much pain he was in, my fatherhardly ever missed a day of work, because he wasdetermined to give me and mybrother a better life. And every day, like so many of you, I felt the weight of myparents’sacrifices on my shoulders. Every day, I wanted to make them proud.So while most American kids attend public schools near their homes, when it wastime for me to attend high school, I took an exam and got into a special public highschool where I could get a better education. But the school was very far from myhome, so I had to get up early every morning and ride a bus for an hour, sometimes anhour and a half if the weather was bad. And every afternoon, I’d ride that same busback home and then immediately start my homework, often studying late into thenight -- and sometimes I would wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to study evenmore.And it wasn’t easy. But whenever I got tired or discouraged, I would just thinkabout how hard my parents were working for me. And I would remember somethingmy mother always told me –- she said: “A good education is something that noone can take away from you.”And when it was time for me to apply to university, I had many options, because inAmerica, there are many kinds of universities. There are four-year universities.There are two-year community colleges which are less expensive. There areuniversities where you take classes at night while working during the day. So youdon’t have to be a top student to attend a university. And even if your parents don’t have much money or you live in a tiny town in a rural area, in America, you can stillattend university. And you can get scholarships and government loans to help payyour tuition.So I attended Princeton University for my undergraduate degree, and I went onto Harvard University for my graduate degree in law. And with those degrees I wasable to become a lawyer at a large law firm, and then I worked as an executive at acity hospital, and then I was the director of an organization that helped disadvantagedyoung people.And my story isn’t unusual in America. Some of our most famous athletes, likeLeBron James, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, came from strugglingfamilies like mine, as do many business leaders –like Howard Schultz. He’s thehead of a company called Starbucks, which many of you may have heard of. WhenMr. Schultz was a boy his father lost his job, leaving their family destitute. But Mr.Schultz worked hard. He got a scholarship to a university, and eventually built thelargest coffeehouse company in the world.And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised by a single mother whosometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy gotscholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor,and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he becamePresident of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, BarackObama. (Applause.)These stories are the stories of so many Americans, and of America itself.Because in America, we believe that no matter where you live or how much moneyyour parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are, if you work hard andbelieve in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed. We also believe thateveryone is equal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship aswe choose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agree with whatwe believe.Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy. And there have beentimes in our history where we have fallen short. Many decades ago, there wereactually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me,who are a minority in the United States. But over time, ordinary citizens decidedthat those laws were unfair. So they held peaceful protests and marches. Theycalled on government officials to change those laws, and they voted to elect newofficials who shared their views.And slowly but surely, America changed. We got rid of those unjust laws. Andtoday, just 50 years later, my husband and I are President and First Lady of the UnitedStates. And that is really the story of America –- how over the course of our shorthistory, through so many trials and struggles, we have become more equal, moreinclusive, and more free.And today in America, people of every race, religion and ethnicity live togetherand work together to build a better life for their children and grandchildren. And inthe end, that deep yearning to leave something better for those who come after us, thatis something we all truly share. In fact, there’s a Chinese saying that I love that says,“To achieve true happiness, help the next generation.”And like so many of your parents, my parents sacrificed so much so that I could haveopportunities they never dreamed of. And today, as a mother myself, I want evenmore opportunities for my own daughters. But of course, as I always tell mydaughters, with opportunities come obligations.And that is true for all of you as well. You all have the opportunity to receive aneducation from this wonderful school, and you all have an obligation to take thefullest advantage of this opportunity. And I knowthat’s exactly what you all aredoing.You’re winning prizes in math and science. Here, you are staging musicalperformances around the world. You’re volunteering in your communities. Andmany of you are working hard to get an education your parents never dreamed of.So you all have so much to offer –- and that’s a good thing, because the worldneeds your talent. The world needs your creativity and energy more than ever before.Because we face big challenges that know no borders –- like improving the qualityof our air and water, ensuring that people have good jobs, stopping the spread ofdisease. And soon, it will all fall to all of you to come together with people on everycontinent and solve these problems together.Now, fortunately, here at this wonderful school, you’re already well on your way.For more than a decade, you’ve been buildingspecial relationships with a Americanschool in -- an American high school, and many of you will attend universities inAmerica or find other ways to reach out beyond your borders.So in the years ahead, much like you and I are doing here today, you will becreating bonds of friendship across the globe that will last for decades to come. Andover the past week, as I have seen both the ancient wonders and the modernachievements of your fascinating country, and as I’ve met with extraordinary youngpeople like all of you, I am more confident than ever before in our shared future.And I cannot wait to see everything that you will achieve here in China and aroundthe world.Thank you again for hosting me and my family at this extraordinary school, and Iwish you all the best of luck in your journey ahead.

米歇尔·奥巴马在北京大学演讲（中英双语）第一篇：米歇尔·奥巴马在北京大学演讲(中英双语)3月22日，美国第一夫人米歇尔奥巴马在北京大学斯坦福中心发表演讲。
Ni hao.It is such a pleasant and an honor to be here with all of you at this great universityThank you so much for having me.And before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words above Malaysian(sic)Airline Flight 370.As my husband has said, theUnited Statesis offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.And please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.And with that, I want to start by recognizing our news Ambassador toChinaAmbassador BaucusPresident WangChairman ZhuVice President Li.Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the Stanford centerPresident Sexton from New York University which has an excellent study abroad program in Shanghaiand John Thorton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua Universitythank you all so much for joining us.And most of all, I want to thank all of the student for being here todayand I particulary want to thank Eric Schafer and Zhu Xuanbao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was such a powerful symbol of everything I want to talk with you about today.You see, by learning each others languagesMr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.And Im here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among your people like you across the globe.Thats why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don'tjust visit palaces and parliament 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 are not just about relationship between governments or leaderstheyre about relationships between people, particularly our young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity f or studentsbut also as a vital part ofAmericas foreign policy.You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross ocean with the click of a panies can do business and complete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email and skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isnt just a fun way to spend a semester-its quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in todays workplaces isnt just about getting good grades or test scores in schoolits also about having real experience with the world beyond your bordersits also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our timeyou do it by improving yourself in someones cultureby learning each others storiesand by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.Thats how you come to understand how much we all share.And thats how you realize that we all have a stake in each others successI couldnt have said it better myself, because thats really what Im talking about...Im talking about ordinary citizen reaching out to the world.And as I always tell young people back inAmerica, you dont need to get on a plane to by a citizen diplomacy.I tell them that if you have an internet in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transportedanywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.Thats why Im posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences in chinahow it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.And thats why it is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media.Because thats how we discover the truth...thats how we learn whats really happening in our communities, our country and our world.And thats how we decide which values and ideas we think are best-by questioning and debating them vigorouslyby listening to all sides of every argument...and by judging for ourselves.And believe me, I know this can be a messy and frustrating process.My husband and I are on the receiving and of plenty of questioning and criticizing from our media and our fellow citizens...and its not always easy...but we wouldnt trade it for anything in the world.Because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.And as my husband said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies.But when it comes to expressing yourself freely, and worshipping as your choose, and having open access to information we believe those are universal rights that are the birthright of every person on this planet.We believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as I was able to do in theUnited States.And as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in China and in the United States, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment of those values.So I guarantee you that in studying abroad, youre not just changing your own lifeyoure changing the lives of everyone you meet.As the great American President JohnF.Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in theU.S., I think they teach more than they learn.And that is just as true of young Americans who study abroad.All of you are Americas best face, and Chinas best face, to the world.Every day, you show the world your countries energy, creativity, optimism and unwavering belief in the future.And every day, you remind us of just how much we can achieve if we reach across bordersand learn to see ourselves in each otherand confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope youll keep teaching each otherand learning from each otherand building bonds of friendship that will enrich your lives and enrich our world for decades to come.You all have so much to offer, and I cannot wait to see all that you achieve together in the years ahead.Thank you so much.Xie Xie.from：/wdyz/ /wzylc/ /amcp/ /xpj/

奥巴马夫人演讲全文中文翻译[新版]
以下是演讲全文中文翻译：非常感谢，伊莲……我们非常感谢来自你家庭的服务和牺牲，我们永远支持你。
过去的几年来，借由作为第一夫人的非凡殊荣，我几乎游遍了整个美国。
而无论我去到哪里，从我所见到的人们，所听到的故事中，我都看到了最真切的美国精神。
在人们对我和我的家庭，特别是我的女儿们那难以置信的友善和热情中，我看到了它。
在一个濒临破产的学区的教师们不收分文、坚持执教的誓言中，我看到了它。
在人们在突如其来的紧急召唤下化身英雄，纵身扑向灾害去拯救他人……飞过整个国家去扑灭大火……驱车数小时去援助被淹没的城镇时，我看到了它。
在我们身着军装的男女军人和自豪的军属身上……在受伤的战士们告诉我他们不仅会再次站立行走，而是会奔跑，甚至参加马拉松时……在一位于阿富汗因炸弹而失明的年轻人―……为了我所做的和我还将要做的，我宁愿失去我的眼睛一百次。
‖这样轻描淡写的话语中，我看到了它。
每一天，我所见到的人们都鼓舞着我……每一天，他们都令我骄傲……每一天，他们都在提醒我，能够生活在这地球上最伟大的国度中是多么的幸福。
成为诸位的第一夫人，是我的荣耀和幸运……但当我们四年前首次聚在一起的时候，我仍对我们即将展开的旅程心怀疑虑。
对我丈夫心中的祖国愿景，我满怀信心……对他将成为一位出色的总统，我也深信不疑……但是就像所有的母亲一样，我也曾担心如果他当选，这对我们的女儿们意味着什么。
身处万众瞩目的聚光灯下，我们要如何让他们保持脚踏实地？当他们被迫离开从小熟悉的家、学校、和朋友时，会有什么感受？在搬到华盛顿之前，我们的生活充满简单的快乐……周六参加足球赛，周日则在祖母家……还有巴拉克和我的约会之夜，我们要么出去晚餐，要么去看场电影，因为作为一个筋疲力尽的老妈，我实在没法同时去晚餐和电影还不打瞌睡。
说真话，我爱我们为女儿们所创造的生活……我深爱和我一起创造这生活的男人……而且我不愿意让这一切因为他当了总统而发生变化。
我爱的就是巴拉克原来的样子。

我们应该为工人争取公平的工资和福利待遇，保护他们的权益，确保每一位工人都能够在公平的环境中工作和生活。
我们需要加强工会的组织和权益保护，维护工人的权益，推动社会的公正与平等。
此外，我们还需要关注环境保护和可持续发展。
我们应该采取积极的行动来减少温室气体排放，推动可再生能源的发展，建设一个更加清洁和绿色的美国。
我们要为我们的子孙后代留下一个更美好的地球，让他们能够享受到我们现在所拥有的一切。
最后，我想再次强调团结与合作的重要性。
无论我们来自不同的背景，拥有不同的观点和信仰，我们都是一个大家庭的一部分。
只有通过团结和合作，我们才能够实现我们的梦想和目标。
