奥巴马精彩演讲：我们为什么要上学
成都白癜风医院http://www.16fw.com
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
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.
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。
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.）
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？”
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.
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。
Now,I
ve
given
a
lot
of
speeches
about
education.
And
I
ve
talked
about
responsibility
a
lot.
我做过许多关于教育的讲话，也常常用到“责任”这个词。
I
ve
talked
about
teachers
responsibility
for
inspiring
students
and
pushing
you
to
learn.
我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们，督促你们学习。
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机。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。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。
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.
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。
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.
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
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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了--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。
