谢谢，非常感谢大家。拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。（mr.obama:thankyou.thankyousomuch.vicepresidentbiden,mr.chiefjustice,membersoftheunitedstatescongress,distinguishedguests,andfellowcitizens:）

每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。我们重申，将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们的肤色，也不是我们信仰的教条，更不是我们名的来源。让我们与众不同，让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。200多年前，这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述：（eachtimewegathertoinaugurateapresident,webearwitnesstotheenduringstrengthofourconstitution.weaffirmthepromiseofourdemocracy.werecallthatwhatbindsthisnationtogetherisnotthecolorsofourskinorthetenetsofourfaithortheoriginsofournames.whatmakesusexceptional–whatmakesusamerican–isourallegiancetoanidea,articulatedinadeclarationmademorethantwocenturiesago:）

“我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。”（“weholdthesetruthstobeself-evident,thatallmenarecreatedequal,thattheyareendowedbytheircreatorwithcertainunalienablerights,thatamongthesearelife,liberty,andthepursuitofhappiness.”）

今天，我们继续着这一未竟的征程，架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。因为历史告诉我们，即便这些真理是不言而喻的，它们也从来不会自动生效。因为虽然自由是上帝赋予的礼物，但仍需要世间的子民去捍卫。1776年，美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王的暴政而战，也不是为赢得少数人的特权，建立暴民的统治。先驱们留给我们一个共和国，一个民有、民治、民享的政府。他们委托每一代美国人捍卫我们的建国信条。（todaywecontinueanever-endingjourney,tobridgethemeaningofthosewordswiththerealitiesofourtime.forhistorytellsusthatwhilethesetruthsmaybeself-evident,theyhaveneverbeenself-executing;thatwhilefreedomisagiftfromgod,itmustbesecuredbyhispeoplehereonearth.thepatriotsof1776didnotfighttoreplacethetyrannyofakingwiththeprivilegesofafewortheruleofamob.theygavetousarepublic,agovernmentof,andby,andforthepeople,entrustingeachgenerationtokeepsafeourfoundingcreed.）

在过去的200多年里，我们做到了。（formorethantwohundredyears,wehave.）

从奴役的血腥枷锁和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了，建立在自由与平等原则之上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由的状态。我们赢得了新生，誓言共同前进。（throughblooddrawnbylashandblooddrawnbysword,welearnedthatnounionfoundedontheprinciplesoflibertyandequalitycouldsurvivehalf-slaveandhalf-free.wemadeourselvesanew,andvowedtomoveforwardtogether.）

我们共同努力，建立起现代的经济体系。架设铁路与高速公路，加速了旅行和商业交流。建立学校与大学，培训我们的工人。（together,wedeterminedthatamoderneconomyrequiresrailroadsandhighwaystospeedtravelandcommerce;schoolsandcollegestotrainourworkers。）

我们一起发现，自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。（together,wediscoveredthatafreemarketonlythriveswhentherearerulestoensurecompetitionandfairplay.）

我们共同决定让这个伟大的国家远离危险，保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸的侵扰。（together,weresolvedthatagreatnationmustcareforthevulnerable,andprotectitspeoplefromlife’sworsthazardsandmisfortune.）

一路走来，我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。我们同样不屈服于这一谎言：一切的社会弊端都能够只靠政府来解决。我们对积极向上与奋发进取的赞扬，我们对努力工作与个人责任的坚持，这些都是美国精神的基本要义。（throughitall,wehaveneverrelinquishedourskepticismofcentralauthority,norhavewesuccumbedtothefictionthatallsociety’sillscanbecuredthroughgovernmentalone.ourcelebrationofinitiativeandenterprise;ourinsistenceonhardworkandpersonalresponsibility,theseareconstantsinourcharacter.）

我们也理解，时代在变化，我们同样需要变革。对建国精神的忠诚，需要我们肩负起新的责任，迎接新的挑战。保护我们的个人自由，最终需要所有人的共同努力。因为美国人不能再独力迎接当今世界的挑战，正如美国士兵们不能再像先辈一样，用步枪和民兵同敌人（法西斯主义与共产主义）作战。一个人无法培训所有的数学与科学老师，我们需要他们为了未来去教育孩子们。一个人无法建设道路、铺设网络、建立实验室来为国内带来新的工作岗位和商业机会。现在，与以往任何时候相比，我们都更需要团结合作。作为一个国家，一个民族团结起来。

（butwehavealwaysunderstoodthatwhentimeschange,somustwe;thatfidelitytoourfoundingprinciplesrequiresnewresponsestonewchallenges;thatpreservingourindividualfreedomsultimatelyrequirescollectiveaction.fortheamericanpeoplecannomoremeetthedemandsoftoday’sworldbyactingalonethanamericansoldierscouldhavemettheforcesoffascismorcommunismwithmusketsandmilitias.nosinglepersoncantrainallthemathandscienceteacherswe’llneedtoequipourchildrenforthefuture,orbuildtheroadsandnetworksandresearchlabsthatwillbringnewjobsandbusinessestoourshores.now,morethanever,wemustdothesethingstogether,asonenation,andonepeople.）

这一代美国人经历了危机的考验，经济危机坚定了我们的决心，证明了我们的恢复力。长达十年的战争正在结束，经济的复苏已经开始。美国的可能性是无限的，因为我们拥有当今没有边界的世界所需要的所有品质：年轻与活力、多样性与开放、无穷的冒险精神以及创造的天赋才能。我亲爱的同胞们，我们正是为此刻而生，我们更要在此刻团结一致，抓住当下的机会。（thisgenerationofamericanshasbeentestedbycrisesthatsteeledourresolveandprovedourresilience.adecadeofwarisnowending.aneconomicrecoveryhasbegun.america’spossibilitiesarelimitless,forwepossessallthequalitiesthatthisworldwithoutboundariesdemands:youthanddrive;diversityandopenness;anendlesscapacityforriskandagiftforreinvention.myfellowamericans,wearemadeforthismoment,andwewillseizeit–solongasweseizeittogether.）

因为我们，美国人民，清楚如果只有不断萎缩的少数人群体获得成功，而大多数人不能成功，我们的国家就无法成功。我们相信，美国的繁荣必须建立在不断上升的中产阶级的宽阔臂膀之上，我们知道美国的繁荣只有这样才能实现。只有当每个人都能找到工作中的自立与自豪时才能实现。只有当诚实劳动获得的薪水足够让家庭摆脱困苦的悬崖时才能实现。我们忠诚于我们的事业，保证让一个出生于最贫穷环境中的小女孩都能知道，她有同其他所有人一样的成功机会。因为她是一个美国人，她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不仅由上帝来见证，更由我们亲手保护。（forwe,thepeople,understandthatourcountrycannotsucceedwhenashrinkingfewdoverywellandagrowingmanybarelymakeit.webelievethatamerica’sprosperitymustrestuponthebroadshouldersofarisingmiddleclass.weknowthatamericathriveswheneverypersoncanfindindependenceandprideintheirwork;whenthewagesofhonestlaborliberatefamiliesfromthebrinkofhardship.wearetruetoourcreedwhenalittlegirlbornintothebleakestpovertyknowsthatshehasthesamechancetosucceedasanybodyelse,becausesheisanamerican,sheisfree,andsheisequal,notjustintheeyesofgodbutalsoinourown.）

我们知道，我们已然陈旧的程序不足以满足时代的需要。我们必须应用新理念和新技术重塑我们的政府，改进我们的税法，改革我们的学校，让我们的公民拥有他们所需要的技能，更加努力地工作，学更多的知识，向更高处发展。这意味着变革，我们的目标是：国家可以奖励每个美国人的努力和果断。这是现在需要的。这将给我们的信条赋予真正的意义。（weunderstandthatoutwornprogramsareinadequatetotheneedsofourtime.wemustharnessnewideasandtechnologytoremakeourgovernment,revampourtaxcode,reformourschools,andempowerourcitizenswiththeskillstheyneedtoworkharder,learnmore,andreachhigher.butwhilethemeanswillchange,ourpurposeendures:anationthatrewardstheeffortanddeterminationofeverysingleamerican.thatiswhatthismomentrequires.thatiswhatwillgiverealmeaningtoourcreed.）

我们，人民，仍然认为，每个公民都应当获得基本的安全和尊严。我们必须做出艰难抉择，降低医疗成本，缩减赤规模。但我们拒绝在照顾建设国家的这一代和投资即将建设国家的下一代间做出选择。因为我们记得过去的教训：老年人的夕阳时光在贫困中度过，家有残障儿童的父母无处求助。我们相信，在这个国家，自由不只是那些幸运儿的专属，或者说幸福只属于少数人。我们知道，不管我们怎样负责任地生活，我们任何人在任何时候都可能面临失业、突发疾病或住房被可怕的飓风摧毁的风险。我们通过医疗保险、联邦医疗补助计划、社会保障项目向每个人做出承诺，这些不会让我们的创造力衰竭，而是会让我们更强大。这些不会让我们成为充满不劳而获者的国度，这些让我们敢于承担风险，让国家伟大。（we,thepeople,stillbelievethateverycitizendeservesabasicmeasureofsecurityanddignity.wemustmakethehardchoicestoreducethecostofhealthcareandthesizeofourdeficit.butwerejectthebeliefthatamericamustchoosebetweencaringforthegenerationthatbuiltthiscountryandinvestinginthegenerationthatwillbuilditsfuture.forwerememberthelessonsofourpast,whentwilightyearswerespentinpoverty,andparentsofachildwithadisabilityhadnowheretoturn.wedonotbelievethatinthiscountry,freedomisreservedforthelucky,orhappinessforthefew.werecognizethatnomatterhowresponsiblyweliveourlives,anyoneofus,atanytime,mayfaceajobloss,orasuddenillness,orahomesweptawayinaterriblestorm.thecommitmentswemaketoeachother–throughmedicare,andmedicaid,andsocialsecurity–thesethingsdonotsapourinitiative;theystrengthenus.theydonotmakeusanationoftakers;theyfreeustotaketherisksthatmakethiscountrygreat.）

奥巴演讲稿篇2

我要感谢我的竞选伙伴。他发自内心地投入竞选，他的声音代表了那些在他成长的斯克兰顿街生活的人们的声音，代表那些和他一道乘火车上下班的特拉华州人民的声音。现在他将是美国的副总统，他就是乔·拜登。

and i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady michelle obama.

sasha and malia i love you both more than you can imagine. and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new white house.

and while she’s no longer with us, i know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight. i know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

to my sister maya, my sister alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. i am grateful to them.

如果不是我过去十六年间最亲密的朋友、我的家庭的基石和我一生的至爱给予的支持，今晚我不会站在这里。那就是我们国家的下任第一夫人，米歇尔·奥巴马。还有我的女儿，萨沙和玛丽亚。我是如此爱你们。我们会带着你们刚赢得的小狗一起搬进白宫。而我的外祖母，虽然此刻他已经离我们而去，但我知道她在看着呢——和带给我生命、定义了我人生的家人们一道。今夜，我想念他们。我知道我欠他们的难以偿还。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.

余尝闻世人有疑，不知当今美利坚凡事皆可成就耶?开国先贤之志方岿然于世耶?民主之伟力不减于昔年耶?凡存诸疑者，今夕当可释然。

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.

今夕之释然，皆蒙美利坚民众之协力——学塾祠庙之外，市井乡野之间，万千父老心焦似焚，苦待竟日，愿献一票之力。其中，平生未尝涉国事者，数亦不少，而今有此义举，皆因一念不衰——今夫天下，非同既往，愿发吁天之声，必成动地之势。

奥巴演讲稿篇3

奥巴马复旦演讲稿

good afternoon. it is a great honor for me to be here in shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you. i'd like to thank fudan university's president yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome. i'd also like to thank our outstanding ambassador, jon huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations. i don't know what he said, but i hope it was good.(laughter) 你们好。能够有机会在上海跟你们大家交谈，我深感荣幸。我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。我还要感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他代表了我们两国之间的深远联系和相互尊重。我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得不错。(笑声)

what i'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then what i'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by ambassador huntsman. and i am very sorry that my chinese is not as good as your english, but i am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.我今天准备先做一个开场白，但我真正希望做的是回答问题，不但回答在座的学生提出的问题，同时也回答从网上提出的一些问题，这些问题由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提出。很抱歉，我的中文不如你们的英文，但我期待着这个和你们对话的机会。

this is my first time traveling to china, and i'm excited to see this majestic country. here, in shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world - the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity. and just as i'm impressed by these signs of china's journey to the 21st century, i'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from china's distant past. tomorrow and the next day i hope to have a chance when i'm in beijing to see the majesty of the forbidden city and the wonder of the great wall. truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.这是我首次访问中国，看到你们壮丽的国家，我感到很兴奋。在上海，我们看到了全球瞩目的发展——高耸的大厦、繁忙的街道、创业的动态。这些都是中国步入 21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。同时，我也期盼看到向我们展现中国悠久历史的古迹。明天和后天我会在北京，希望有机会看到壮观的故宫和奇迹般的长城。的确，这是一个既有丰富的历史，又对未来的希望充满信心的国家。

the same can be said of the relationship between our two countries. shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the united states and china. it was here, 37 years ago, that the shanghai communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people. however, america's ties to this city and to this country - stretch back further, to the earliest days of america's independence.我们两国的关系也是如此。毫无疑问，上海在美中关系史上是一个具有重大意义的城市。正是在这里，37年前发布的《上海公报》(shanghai communique)开启了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新篇章。然而，美国与这个城市以及这个国家的纽带可以追溯到更久远的过去，直至美国独立初期。

in 1784, our founding father, george washington, commissioned the empress of china, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the qing dynasty. washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like china. this is a common american impulse - the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.1784年，我们的建国之父乔治·华盛顿主持了“中国女皇号”(empress of china)的下水仪式。这条船前往中国海岸，寻求与清朝通商。华盛顿希望看到这条悬挂美国国旗的船前往世界各地，与像中国这样的国家缔结新的纽带。这是通常的美国人的愿望——希望达到新的地平线，建立新的、互利的伙伴关系。

over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions. and even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties. for instance, americans will never forget the hospitality shown to our pilots who were shot down over your soil during world war ii, and cared for by chinese civilians who risked all that they had by doing so. and chinese veterans of that war still warmly greet those american veterans who return to the sites where they fought to help liberate china from occupation. 在此后的两个世纪中，历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展，但即使在动荡的岁月中，两国人民也抓住机会发展了深入的、甚至极不平凡的关系。例如，美国人民永远不会忘记，二战期间，美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后，中国公民冒着失去一切的危险护理他们。参加过二战的中国老兵仍然热情欢迎故地重游的美国老兵，他们曾经在那里作战，帮助中国从占领下获得解放。

a different kind of connection was made nearly 40 years ago when the frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table tennis. the very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its success because for all our differences, both our common humanity and our shared curiosity were revealed. as one american player described his visit to china - “the people are just like us... the country is very similar to america, but still very different.”近40年前，简单的乒乓球比赛带来了两国关系的解冻，使我们两国建立起另一种联系。这种接触令人意外，但却恰恰促成了其成功，因为尽管我们之间存在许多分歧，但是我们共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以从中显现。正如一位美国乒乓球队员在回忆对中国的访问时所说：“那里的人民和我们一样……这个国家和美国有许多相似之处，也有很大区别。”

of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the shanghai communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the united states and china in 1979. and in three decades, just look at how far we have come.无须赘言，这个小小的契机带来了《上海公报》的问世，并最终促使美中两国在1979年建立正式外交关系。请看在此后的30年，我们取得了多么长足的进展。

in 1979, trade between the united states and china stood at roughly $5 billion - today it tops over $400 billion each year. the commerce affects our people's lives in so many ways. america imports from china many of the computer parts we use, the clothes we wear; and we export to china machinery that helps power your industry. this trade could create even more jobs on both sides of the pacific, while allowing our people to enjoy a better quality of life. and as demand becomes more balanced, it can lead to even broader prosperity.1979年，美中贸易额约为50亿美元，今天，年度贸易额已经超过4000亿美元。贸易在许多方面影响着两国人民的生活，

美国电脑中的许多元件以及我们身穿的服装都是从中国进口的，我们向中国出口你们的工业需要的机器。这种贸易可以在太平洋两岸创造更多的就业机会，让我们的人民过上质量更高的生活。随着需求趋于平衡，繁荣的范围将进一步扩大。

in 1979, the political cooperation between the united states and china was rooted largely in our shared rivalry with the soviet union. today, we have a positive, constructive and comprehensive relationship that opens the door to partnership on the key global issues of our time economic recovery and the development of clean energy; stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the scourge of climate change; the promotion of peace and security in asia and around the globe. all of these issues will be on the agenda tomorrow when i meet with president hu.1979年，美中之间的政治合作主要立足于双方共同面对的竞争对手苏联。如今我们享有积极的、建设性的、全面的关系，为我们在当今时代的关键性全球问题上建立伙伴关系打开了大门，这些问题包括：经济复苏和清洁能源开发、制止核武器扩散和气候变化的影响、在亚洲及全球各地促进和平与安全。所有这些问题都是我明天与会谈的内容。

and in 1979, the connections among our people were limited. today, we see the curiosity of those ping-pong players manifested in the ties that are being forged across many sectors. the second highest number of foreign students in the united states come from china, and we've seen a 50 percent increase in the study of chinese among our own students. there are nearly 200 “friendship cities” drawing our communities together. american and chinese scientists cooperate on new research and discovery. and of course, yao ming is just one signal of our shared love of basketball. i'm only sorry that i won't be able to see a shanghai sharks game while i'm visiting.1979年，我们两国人民的联系十分有限。今天，我们看到当年乒乓球队员的好奇心已经化为许多领域的纽带，中国留学生在美国的人数名列第二，而在美国学生中，学中文的人数增加了50%。我们两国有近200个友好城市，把我们的社区连接在一起。美中科学家合作进行新的研究与发现。而姚明是我们两国人民都热爱篮球的仅仅一个标志而已——令我遗憾的是，此行中我不能观看上海大鲨鱼队的比赛。

it is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change. china has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty an accomplishment unparalleled in human history while playing a larger role in global events. and the united states has seen our economy grow along with the standard of living enjoyed by our people, while bringing the cold war to a successful conclusion.我们两国之间的关系相伴着一个积极变化的时期，这不是偶然的。中国实现了亿万人民脱贫，这一成就史无前例，同时，中国在全球问题中也在发挥更大的作用。美国在促使冷战顺利结束的同时，经济也取得了增长，人民的生活水平提高。

there is a chinese proverb: “consider the past, and you shall know the future. surely, we have known setbacks and challenges over the last 30 years. our relationship has not been without disagreement and difficulty. but the notion that we must be adversaries is not predestined - not when we consider the past. indeed, because of our cooperation, both the united states and china are more prosperous and more secure. we have seen what is possible when we build upon our mutual interests, and engage on the basis of mutual respect.中国有句名言：“温故而知新。”当然，过去30年中我们也曾遇到挫折和挑战，我们的关系不是没有分歧和困难。但是，“我们必然是对手”的概念并非是注定不变的——回顾过去不会是这样。由于我们的合作，美中两国都更加繁荣、更加安全。我们已经看到我们本着共同的利益和相互的尊重去努力所能取得的成果。

and yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding - on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another. for just as that american table tennis player pointed out - we share much in common as human beings, but our countries are different in certain ways.可是，这种接触的成功取决于理解，取决于继续进行开诚布公的对话，相互了解，相互学习。正如前面提到的那位美国乒乓球队员所说——作为人，我们有着许多共同之处，但是我们两国在某些方面存在着差别。

i believe that each country must chart its own course. china is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture. the united states, by comparison, is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to our shores, and by the founding documents that guide our democracy. those documents put forward a simple vision of human affairs, and they enshrine several core principles - that all men and women are created equal, and possess certain fundamental rights; that government should reflect the will of the people and respond to their wishes; that commerce should be open, information freely accessible; and that laws, and not simply men, should guarantee the administration of justice.我认为每个国家都必须规划自己的前进方向。中国是一个文明古国，文化深远。而美国相对而言是一个年轻的国家，它的文化由来自许多不同国家的移民以及指导我国民主制度的建国纲领所形成。这些纲领中提出了对人类事务的简单明了的瞩望，并包含了一些核心原则——不论男女人人生而平等，都享有某些基本权利;政府应当反映民意，并对人民的愿望作出回应;商贸应该是开放的，信息应该自由流通;司法保障应该来自法治而不是人治。

of course, the story of our nation is not without its difficult chapters. in many ways over many years we have struggled to advance the promise of these principles to all of our people, and to forge a more perfect union. we fought a very painful civil war, and freed a portion of our population from slavery. it took time for women to be extended the right to vote, workers to win the right to organize, and for immigrants from different corners of the globe to be fully embraced. even after they were freed, african americans persevered through conditions that were separate and not equal, before winning full and equal

rights.当然，我国的历史也并非没有困难的篇章。在很多方面，在很长的时间里，我们要通过斗争去实现这些原则对全体人民的承诺，缔造一个更趋完善的联邦。我们曾打过一场很痛苦的南北战争，将我国的一部分人口从奴役下解放出来。妇女获得投票权、劳工赢得组织权、来自世界各地的移民得到完全的接纳——这些都是经过了一段时间才实现的。非洲裔美国人即使在获得自由后依然生活在被隔离和不平等的条件下，他们经过不懈努力才最终赢得全面、平等的权利。

none of this was easy. but we made progress because of our belief in those core principles, which have served as our compass through the darkest of storms. that is why lincoln could stand up in the midst of civil war and declare it a struggle to see whether any nation, conceived in liberty, and ”dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal“ could long endure. that is why dr. martin luther king could stand on the steps of the lincoln memorial and ask that our nation live out the true meaning of its creed. that's why immigrants from china to kenya could find a home on our shores; why opportunity is available to all who would work for it; and why someone like me, who less than 50 years ago would have had trouble voting in some parts of america, is now able to serve as its president.所有这些都不曾轻而易举。但是，由于我们对这些核心原则的坚定信念，我们取得了进步，这些原则指引我们冲过了最黑暗的风暴。这就是为什么林肯能在南北战争中挺身而出并宣布，这是一场考验一个孕育于自由之中、“忠实于人人生而平等这一原则”的国家能否永存的斗争。这也就是为什么马丁·路德·金博士能够站立在林肯纪念堂的台阶上，要求我们的国家实践自身信仰的真正含义。这也就是为什么来自从中国到肯尼亚的各国移民能够在我国的土地上安家;为什么所有努力寻求机会的人都能获得机会;为什么像我这种在不到50年前在美国的某些地方连投票都遇到困难的人，现在能够出任这个国家的总统。

and that is why america will always speak out for these core principles around the world. we do not seek to impose any system of government on any other nation, but we also don't believe that the principles that we stand for are unique to our nation. these freedoms of expression and worship of access to information and political participation - we believe are universal rights. they should be available to all people, including ethnic and religious minorities whether they are in the united states, china, or any nation. indeed, it is that respect for universal rights that guides america's openness to other countries; our respect for different cultures; our commitment to international law; and our faith in the future.这就是为什么美国一直在全世界为这些核心原则而大声疾呼。我们不寻求把任何政治体制强加给任何别的国家，但是我们也不认为我们主张的这些原则是我们国家所独有的。表达自由和宗教信仰自由——获得信息和政治参与的自由——我们认为这些自由都是普世的权利，所有人都应当享有，包括少数民族和宗教少数派，不管是在美国、中国还是在任何其他国家。正是对普世权利的尊重指导着美国向其他国家开放，尊重各种不同的文化，致力于遵守国际法，并对未来抱有信念。

these are all things that you should know about america. i also know that we have much to learn about china. looking around at this magnificent city and looking around this room. i do believe that our nations hold something

mportant in common, and that is a belief in the future. neither the united states nor china is content to rest on our achievements. for while china is an ancient nation, you are also clearly looking ahead with confidence, ambition, and a commitment to see that tomorrow's generation can do better than today's.这些都是你们应当了解的美国的情况。我也知道中国有很多有待我们了解的情况。环顾一下这座伟大的城市——环顾一下这个大厅——我确信我们两个国家有一个很重要的共同点，那就是我们对未来的信念。美国和中国都不想满足于已取得的成就，止步不前。虽然中国是一个古老的国家，但你们显然也对未来满怀信心、雄心和使年轻一代能比这一代人更有作为的决心。

in addition to your growing economy, we admire china's extraordinary commitment to science and research a commitment borne out in everything from the infrastructure you build to the technology you use. china is now the world's largest internet user which is why we were so pleased to include the internet as a part of today's event. this country now has the world's largest mobile phone network, and it is investing in the new forms of energy that can both sustain growth and combat climate change and i'm looking forward to deepening the partnership between the united states and china in this critical area tomorrow. but above all, i see china's future in you young people whose talent and dedication and dreams will do so much to help shape the 21st century.我们不但钦佩中国日益增长的经济，还赞赏你们在科学研究方面极不平凡的努力——从你们建设的基础设施到你们使用的技术，均体现出这种努力。中国现在是世界上最大的互联网使用国——这也是我们今天很高兴能把互联网作为此次活动的一部分的原因。这个国家目前拥有世界上最大的移动电话网络，它正在投资发展既能维持可持续增长，又能应对气候变化的新型能源——我期待着明天在这个至关重要的领域中深化两国的合作关系。然而，最重要的是，我在你们身上看到

了中国的未来 ——年轻一代的聪明才智、献身精神和梦想将为塑造21世纪发挥巨大作用。

i've said many times that i believe that our world is now fundamentally interconnected. the jobs we do, the prosperity we build, the environment we protect, the security that we seek all of these things are shared. and given that interconnection, power in the 21st century is no longer a zero-sum game; one country's success need not come at the expense of another. and that is why the united states insists we do not seek to contain china's rise. on the contrary, we welcome china as a strong and prosperous and successful member of the community of nations a china that draws on the rights, strengths, and creativity of individual chinese like you.我已说过多次，我相信我们现在的世界是紧密相连的。我们所做的工作，我们所建设的繁荣，我们所保护的环境，以及我们所寻求的安全——所有这一切都是共有的。鉴于这种相互联系，在21世纪，权力不应再成为一场零和游戏;一国的成功发展不应以他国为代价。这也就是为什么美国坚决表示我们不谋求遏制中国的崛起。恰恰相反，我们欢迎中国成为国际社会中一个强大、繁荣、成功的成员——一个从你们这样的每个中国人的权利、实力和创造力中获得力量的中国。

to return to the proverb consider the past. we know that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when they collide. that is a lessonthat human beings have learned time and again, and that is the example of the history between our nations. and i believe strongly that cooperation must go beyond our government. it must be rooted in our people in the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that we gain, and even in the sports that we play. and these bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your counterparts in america.回到前面提到的那句古语——回顾过去。我们知道，大国之间选择合作而非对抗会带来更大的惠益。这是人类不断汲取的一个教训，我们两国的关系史中也不乏其例。我深信，合作必须不止于政府间的合作。合作必须植根于我们的人民——植根于我们共同进行的研究，我们的商贸活动，我们所学到的知识，乃至我们的体育运动。这些桥梁必须由你们这样的年轻人和美国的年轻人共同构筑。

that's why i'm pleased to announce that the united states will dramatically expand the number of our students who study in china to 100,000. and these exchanges mark a clear commitment to build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine the destiny of the 21st century. and i'm absolutelyconfident that america has no better ambassadors to offer than our young people. for they, just like you, are filled with talent and energy and optimism about the history that is yet to be written.因此，我高兴地宣布，美国准备将在中国留学的美国学生人数大幅度增加到10万人。这种交流是对在我们两国人民之间建立联系的明确承诺，毫无疑问，你们将帮助决定21世纪的命运。我完全相信，对美·来说，再好的使者莫过于我们的年轻人。因为他们和你们一样，才华横溢，充满活力，对有待书写的历史篇章充满乐观。

so let this be the next step in the steady pursuit of cooperation that will serve our nations, and the world. and if there's one thing that we can take from today's dialogue, i hope that it is a commitment to continue this dialogue going forward.那么，就让这个举措成为我们稳步寻求合作的下一个步骤，这种合作有利于我们两国乃至整个世界。如果能从今天的对话中得到一点启示的话，我希望那就是致力于今后继续进行这种对话。

so thank you very much. and i look forward now to taking some questions from all of you. thank you very much. (applause)非常感谢诸位。现在我希望回答你们大家提出的一些问题。非常感谢。(掌声)

奥巴演讲稿篇4

on behalf of the obama family – michelle, malia, sasha and bo – i want to wish everyone a very happy thanksgiving.

我代表奥巴马家庭—米切尔，玛利亚，萨沙和波—祝各位感恩节快乐。

for us, like so many of you, this is a day full of family and friends; food and football. it’s a day to fight the overwhelming urge to take a nap – at least until after dinner. but most of all, it’s a time to give thanks for each other, and for the incredible bounty we enjoy.

对于我们大家，就像你们中的大多数人，这一天意味着家庭团聚、高朋满座;饕餮盛宴、足球大赛。这一天意味着我们要压制一下内心的焦急，小憩一下—至少到晚餐之后。但是最重要的是，这是我们为了享受极大丰富的财富而互致感谢的时刻。

that’s especially important this year. as a nation, we’ve just emerged from a campaign season that was passionate, noisy, and vital to our democracy. but it also required us to make choices – and sometimes those choices led us to focus on what sets us apart instead of what ties us together; on what candidate we support instead of what country we belong to.

这在今年尤为重要。作为一个国家，我们刚刚走出激情澎湃、热闹非凡并且对我们的民主至关重要的大选。但是我们还要做出一系列决策—有时候这些决策令我们关注那些分裂我们的事而不是凝聚我们的事;关注我们支持什么样的候选人而不是我们属于什么样的国家。

thanksgiving is a chance to put it all in perspective – to remember that, despite our differences, we are, and always will be, americans first and foremost.

感恩节给我们一个正确处理这些的机会—不要忘了，尽管我们有分歧，我们现在，将来也首先是美国人，而且世界第一。

today we give thanks for blessings that are all too rare in this world. the ability to spend time with the ones we love; to say what we want; to worship as we please; to know that there are brave men and women defending our freedom around the globe; and to look our children in the eye and tell them that, here in america, no dream is too big if they’re willing to work for it.

今天，我们要感谢得天独厚的福祉。感谢我们还能够和亲人们共享欢乐时光;能信仰自由;能够见证我们英勇无敌的优秀儿女们在全球各地保卫自由;并且能够目睹我们的孩子们尽情欢乐，告诉他们在美国如果他们愿意努力，一切梦想都可以实现。

we’re also grateful that this country has always been home to americans who see these blessings not simply as gifts to enjoy, but as opportunities to give back. americans who believe we have a responsibility to look out for those less fortunate – to pull each other up and move forward together.

我们还要感谢这个国家，因为她一直是那些把这些福祉不仅仅看成是恩赐来享受，而是看成回报的机会的美国人的家园。美国人都相信我们有责任关注那些不那么走运的人们—拉他们一把，共同前进。

right now, as we prepare to gather around our dinner tables, there are families in the northeast who don’t have that luxury. many of them have lost everything to hurricane sandy – homes, possessions, even loved ones. and it will be a long time before life goes back to normal.

现在，我们就要坐到餐桌前享受晚餐了，而在我国的东北还有很多家庭没有这个福气。他们中的很多人在飓风桑迪的灾难中失去了一切—房子，财产甚至亲人。他们还要经过很长时间才能恢复正常生活。

but in the midst of so much tragedy, there are also glimmers of hope. over the last few weeks, we’ve seen fema personnel, national guard and first responders working around the clock in hard-hit communities. we’ve seen hospital workers using their lunch breaks to distribute supplies. families offering up extra bedrooms. the fire department advertising free hot showers. buses full of volunteers coming from hundreds of miles away. neighbors sharing whatever they have – food, water, electricity – and saying again and again how lucky they are to have a roof over their heads.

但是在这么多的悲剧中，希望的光芒没有泯灭。在过去的几周里，我们目睹了fema人员，国民警备队人员和灾后救援者们在重灾区与时间赛跑。我们目睹了医务工作者们用他们的午餐时间分发救灾物资。很多家庭腾出了家里闲着的卧室。消防人员提供了免费热水洗浴。公交车上挤满了几百英里以外来的志愿者们。邻里之间分享他们拥有的一切—食物，水和电—嘴里一口一个我们头上有一个屋顶是多么幸运啊。

it would have been easy for these folks to do nothing – to worry about themselves and leave the rest to someone else. but that’s not who we are. that’s not what we do.

如果有人什么也不做，只考虑自己，让别人去做，那么他们应该会很轻松。但是

我们不是那样的人。我们不做那样的事。

as americans, we are a bold, generous, big-hearted people. when our brothers and sisters are in need, we roll up our sleeves and get to work – not for the recognition or the reward, but because it’s the right thing to do. because there but for the grace of god go i. and because here in america, we rise or fall together, as one nation and one people.

作为美国人，我们英勇无比，慷慨大方，心胸宽广。一旦我们的兄弟姐妹们需要，我们就会卷起袖子大干一场—不是为了表扬和奖励，而是因为这是应该做的。因为我们仅仅是为了回报天恩。因为在美国，我们作为一个国家和民族生死与共。

that’s something to be grateful for – today and every day.

这是我们今天和今后永远要感谢的。

so to all the americans doing your part to make our world a better place– it is my privilege to serve as your president. to all our service members – it is my honor to be your commander in chief. and from our family to yours, happy thanksgiving.

所以，各位尽自己的一份力把我们的世界建设成更加美好的乐园的美国人—作为你们的总统我感到无上荣光。各位军人，作为你们的总司令我感到无比荣耀。我们全家祝愿你们全家感恩节快乐。

20xx年11月27日，让我们一起来感恩的同时，也不忘一起享用美味霸气的火鸡大餐吧!

奥巴演讲稿篇5

看完奥巴马竞选演讲，奥巴马成为美国历史上第一位非裔总统，第一位黑人总统。由奥巴马当选美国第一任黑人总统开始，美国的黑人地位应该有了实质性的巩固和保证，种族歧视从美国的各个角落逐渐消灭!随着第一任黑人总统奥巴马的上任，黑人的地位有着明显的提高。

奥巴马能有今天的成就是有自己的坚持，奥巴马竞选演讲稿中的说过这样一句话：长期以来，很多人缺乏信心，对自己所能取得的成就畏首畏尾、疑心重重。如今，我们走在历史的长河里，挺起胸膛，勾勒出美好明天的光辉画卷。如果没有自己的坚持，()他怎么可能会在竞选当中脱颖而出。人生有许多的不如意，前进的道路也不可能是直线，所以我们无需悲伤，无需自卑，而应该努力的奋斗下去，不为别的，只为一个梦，梦圆之时别忘了曾经的苦!

一直以来美国都是一个备受争议的国家，而我想这种争议来自于他们的强大，现在的美国是强大的，犹如唐朝时的中国，而这位新总统的上任，我认为这也将是美国一个新的开始，毕竟选举这种行为代表是一大部分人，也代表的是一个民族的精神，他的结果所反应给人们的是一种信号，这种信号也就预示着某种未来。直觉告诉我，这位美国总统是爱好和平的，是胸怀宽广的，是善良的。

奥巴马的这篇演讲词让我想到了马丁路德金的《i have a dream》，我想现在这位美国和平使者的梦想在实现，而奥巴马的当选也无疑的表明了种族歧视在美国逐渐消逝，其实，一直以来美国都是一个备受争议的国家，而我想这种争议来自于他们的强大，现在的美国是强大的，犹如唐朝时的中国，而这位新总统的上任，我认为这也将是美国一个新的开始，毕竟选举这种行为代表是一大部分人，也代表的是一个民族的精神，他的结果所反应给人们的是一种信号，这种信号也就预示着某种未来。我的直觉告诉我，这位美国总统是爱好和平的，是胸怀宽广的，是善良的。

在奥巴马竞选演讲最后的时候。奥巴马意味深长地称，40年前，很多朋友(黑人)甚至无法出席公共仪式，如今却可以和自己共同参加庆典，委婉地暗示了自己作为首位美国黑人总统，所创造的历史成就。这一成就当然可以、也必将作为里程碑永载美国史册。不言而喻的是奥巴马实现了自己的美国梦。
