第一篇：米歇爾英語演講稿

米歇爾·奧巴馬在美國民主黨代表大會上的演講英語演講稿：

Thank 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, and they'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?

How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they'd ever known?

Our 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 – their unconditional 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.But 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 ahead of 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.We 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 amount of 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.When 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.That'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.He'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 – when we'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, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button...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.

第二篇：米歇爾演講稿

篇一：米歇爾北京大學演講稿中文 米歇爾北大演講全文 2014年03月22日

你好：我今天來到這里，是因為我知道，我們的未來，取決于全世界像你們這樣的年輕人之間的聯系。

這也是為什么我們夫婦在國外訪問時，不只參觀宮殿和會晤國家元首。我們也來到學校，與像你們一樣的學生見面。

因為我們相信，國與國之間的關系不只是政府或領導人之間的關系，它們是人民間―特別是年輕人之間的關系。

因此，我們認為海外留學項目不只是為學生提供的教育機會，還是美國外交政策至關重要的組成部分。

“讀萬卷書，不如行萬里路”

你們看，通過現代技術奇跡，我們的世界比以往任何時候都更多地聯系在一起。思想可以通過點擊按鈕跨越海洋。全球各地的公司可以進行業務往來和相互竟爭。我們可以與各大洲的人們通過短信、電子郵件和skype進行溝通。

因此，出國留學不只是以開心的方式度過一個學期―它正迅速成為全球化經濟中取得成功的關鍵。

因為要走在當今職場的前沿，只在學校里取得好成績是不夠的，還應擁有國境外的真實體驗：對完全不同的語言、文化和社會的體驗。

正如中國的一句古話所說：讀萬卷書，不如行萬里路。

我想要說的是，出國留學絕不僅是改善你們自己的未來，它也關乎塑造你們的國家、關乎我們共有的世界的未來。

因為我們這個時代的決定性挑戰一一無論是氣侯變化、經濟機遇，還是核武器擴散一一這些都是我們共同的挑戰。

沒有任何一個國家能夠單獨應對它們??唯一的出路就是共同攜手。“共同攜手”

這就是為什么年輕人到彼此國家學習和生活是如此重要。因為這是你們培養合作習慣的途徑一一你們通過融入不同的文化，通過了解彼此的故事，通過跨越常常隔膜我們的成見和誤解，來做到這一點。

這是你們了解到我們共享多少東西的途徑。這是你們認識到我們的成功惠及彼此的途徑。在北京發現的治序方法可以挽救在美國的生命，來自加州硅谷的清潔能源技術可以改善中國的環境，西安一座古老寺廟的架構可激發達拉斯或者底特律新建筑設計的靈感。

這是你們與同學、實驗伙伴建立起的聯系能帶來更多收獲的時候。阿比蓋爾·柯普林成為北京大學美國富布賴特學者的時候，她與同事們在首屈一指的科學雜志上共同發表論文，建立研究伙伴關系，這段關系在他們各自回國后還長久持續著。來自北京大學的牛可教授是去年的美國富布賴特學者。我引述下他的話，“最難忘的經歷是和我的美國朋友們在一起。”

這些長久的紐帶代表留學的真正價值，我很興奮，越來越多的學生正得到這樣的機會。米歇爾現身說法談留學

中國目前是美國人留學的第五大熱門目的地。今天的美國，來自中國的交換生數量最多。盡管如此，太多的學生從來沒有這樣的機會，而一些有機會的學生則猶豫是否要抓住它。他們可能覺得留學只是有錢的學生或來自某類大學的學生的事。或者，他們可能心里想，“嗯，這聽起來很有趣，但它在我的生活中真正有多大用處？”

我理解這些年輕人，因為我在上大學時也有同樣的感受。你們知道，我來自一個工薪階層家庭，我甚至從來沒想過留學。我的父母沒有上過大學，我將精力集中在進入大學并獲得學位，這樣我就可以得到一份工作并養活自己。

對于很多像我一樣靠奮斗才能讀得起一個常規學期的年輕人來說，支付世界另一邊的機票或生活費實在是不可能的。這是不可接受的，因為留學不應僅屬于有一些背景的學生。

我們希望在所有種族和社會經濟背景的人之間建立聯系，因為正是這樣的多樣性讓我們的國家如此充滿活力和強大??我們的海外留學項目應向世界反映美國的真正精神。

這就是為什么在2009年我的丈夫訪問中國時，宣布了我們的100，000項倡議，該倡議旨在增加留學中國的美國學生的數量和多樣性。而今年，在我們紀念中美兩國關系正常化三十五周年之際??美國政府實際上支持更多的美國學生在中國學習。

我們正將高中生、大學生和研究生送到這里來學習中文，我們正邀請中國老師到美國的嘗較教授普通話，我們為希望留學美國的中國學生提供免費的在線咨詢。美中富布賴特項目仍在加強，現有3000多名學友。

私人部門也在加緊工作。例如，美國黑石公司的主管斯蒂夫·施瓦茨曼正在資助清華大學模仿羅德獎學全（rhode、scholarship）的一個新項目。“你不需要登上飛機才能成為公民外交官”

今天，來自不同背景的學生正在中國學習。以來自俄亥俄州克利夫蘭的羅亞爾為例，她參加了紐約大學在上海的項目。像我一樣，羅亞爾是家里的第一代大學生。她母親做兩份全職工作，而她父親晚上工作以維持他們的家庭。談到她在上海的經歷時，她說：“這座城市充滿韌性，它激勵我完成所有我能做的事。”

還有來自華盛頓大學的腓力門·海爾，他還是孩子的時候，他的家人作為厄立特里亞難民來到了美國。談到他在中國學習的經歷時，他說：“在我們進入公民外交的新時代之際，留學是人民間交流的一種強大工具。”

“一個公民外交的新時代”一一我想不出比這更好的說法了，因為這正是我正在談的，那就是普通公民走向世界。

正如我經常對美國年輕認說的那樣，你不需要登上飛機才能成為公民外交官。

我告訴他們，如果你在家里、學校或者圖書館能上網，只要幾秒鐘，你就可以被帶到世界任何地方，遇見來自每個大陸的人。

這就是為什么我每天都要發一篇旅行博文，里面有我這次中國之行的視頻和照片―因為我希望美國的年輕人能成為這次訪問的一部分。

這確實是技術的力量―它打開整個世界，讓我們接觸到以前根本難以想象的思想和創新。這也是為什么信息和思想在互聯網上、并通過媒體自由流動是如此重要。

因為那是我們發現真理的途徑，那使我們得以了解我們的社群、我們的國家和我們的世界到底在發生著什么。

那也是我們何以決定哪些價值觀和思想是最好的―通過有力地對它們提出疑問，進行辯論，傾聽各方觀點，并做出自己的判斷。相信我，我知道這是一個令人困惑而沮喪的過程。有大量來自我們媒體和公民的質疑和批評，而我丈夫和我位于接收端。這并非易事，但我們認為它的重要無可取代。

因為我們一次又一次地看到，當所有公民的聲音和觀點都能得到傾聽之時，國家會變得更加強大和繁榮。

正像我的丈夫曾說過的，我們尊重其他文化和社劊的獨特性。然而，就自由的表達自我、選擇自己所崇拜的東西，以及享有信息公開而言―我們相信那是地球上每個人與生俱來的權利。“美國面孔”，“中國面孔” 我們相信，所有人都應享有實現自己最大潛能的機會，正如我在美國所能做到的那樣。同時，當你在中國這里以及在美國了解新的文化、結交新的朋友之時，你整個人就是那些價值觀的鮮活代表。所以我保證，通過出國留學，你們不僅在改變自己的人生，也在改變你所遇到的每個人的人生。

正像偉大的美國總統約翰·肯尼迪談到留學美國的外國學生時說的那樣，“我想他們所教的比他們學到的還要多。”而對出國學習的年徑美國人來說也是一樣的。

對世界而言，你們所有人都是最好的美國面孔，和最好的中國面孔。每一天，你們都在向世界展示你們國家的能量、創造力、樂觀，以及對未來堅定不移的信念。每一天，你們都在提醒我們，通過跨越國界，學會在彼此身上看到我們自己，和用共同的決心應對我們共同的挑戰。

所以，我希望你們都會不斷尋求這樣的經歷。我希望你們能繼續受益于彼此，互相學習，同時建立起友誼的紐帶，而這些紐帶能在未來數十年豐富你們的生活，也豐富我們的世界。你們大家都有這么多可以給予世界，我熱切期待著你們未來的成就。非常感謝篇二：米歇爾演講稿 英文原稿：

first lady michelle obama: 孩子們應該受到很好的教育，說道這個問題，barack 懂得，就像我們中很多人一樣，沒有助學金他就也不可能上大學。

你們相信嗎？在我和他新婚之時，我們的助學貸款的壓力甚至遠大于房貸。當時我們那么年輕，還負債累累。

thats 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.因此，barack 竭盡全力提高助學金額度，同時壓低利息，他希望讓每一個年輕人都能大展宏圖，不必為了求學債臺高筑

so in the end, for barack, these issues arent political – theyre 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.他懂得希望子孫過上好日子是這樣一種感受。他知道什么是美國夢，因為他曾親身經歷。他希望每一個人都能有相同的機會。

barack knows the american dream because hes lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where were from, or what we look like, or who we love.他知道什么是美國夢，因為他曾親身經歷。他希望每一個人都能有相同的機會。無論身份，無論家鄉，無論種族，無論信仰和情感。

and he believes that when youve 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.他相信當每一個人努力奮斗，出人頭地，在通過機遇的大門之后，不會自私地關上大門，而會轉身伸出援手。給予人們共同的機會一起成功！

如果你要問我白宮這四年是否改變我的丈夫？我可以坦誠相告，不論是看他的品格，信仰，還是內心，此時此刻的他是彼時彼地我相愛的那個人！

如今的他還會像那時一樣，拒絕高薪工作，而深入社區基層，去幫助瀕臨倒閉的鋼廠的職工和家屬。去重建那樣的社區，幫助人們再度就業。因為對他來講，成功的標準并不是收入，而是你對他人生的積極影響

hes 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.他還是那個當女兒剛降生時，會分分鐘鐘就跑到嬰兒床邊查看女兒是否還在呼吸的那個父親。會抱著女兒去找所有的熟人顯擺。

thats 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.他至今仍每晚和我跟女兒一起吃晚餐。耐心地回答她們關于新聞和時事的問題，為她們在學校交朋友的事兒出謀劃策。

i see the concern in his eyes...and i hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, you wont believe what these folks are going through, michelle...its not right.weve got to keep working to fix this.weve got so much more to do.我看到他為此憂心不已，他無比堅定地對我說：你無法想象他們過著什么樣的日子，米歇爾，這是不對的！我們必須再接再厲去改變這些，我們做的還遠遠不夠！

i see how those stories – our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams – i see how thats what drives barack obama every single day.and i didnt 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.我看到那些故事，那些艱難困苦和那些夢想希望，正是那一切讓奧巴馬每日為之努力，從前的我絕想不到今天的我反而比四年前更愛我的丈夫了，甚至遠勝23 年前我們相愛時，我愛他！

i love that hes never forgotten how he started.i love that we can trust barack to do what he says hes going to do, even when its hard – especially when its hard.i love that for barack, there is no such thing as us and them – he doesnt care whether youre a democrat, a republican, or none of the above...he knows that we all love our country?

因為他不忘本！我愛他，因為他會去履行承諾，困難當頭他只會越挫越勇，我愛他，因為他對人們一視同仁！從不管你是那個黨派，又或是有無黨派。他知道我們都深愛這個國家，and hes always ready to listen to good ideas...hes always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.and i love that even in the toughest moments, when were all sweating it – when were worried that the bill wont pass, and it seems like all is lost – barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise.他愿意傾聽，從善如流，他愿意去挖掘每個人身上的閃光點！我愛他，因為在艱難無比，揪心不已的時刻，在法案可能無法通過，一切都可能重頭再來的時候。他從不會被四面的楚歌所動搖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.就像他的祖母一樣，他會重新振作，再度前進，用他的耐心，智慧，勇氣和氣度！他總會提醒我們任重道遠，變革往往艱難而緩慢，根本無法一撅而起

but eventually we get there, we always do.we get there because of folks like my dad...folks like baracks 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.但總有一天，我們會成功，就如既往的那些勝利，我們會最終達到彼岸，因為像我的父母，他的祖母，還有所有像他們一樣的人都對自己承諾，我沒能實現自己的夢想，但或許我的孩子們可以, 或許的們的孫輩可以.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.我，我們今天能站在這里，就歸功于他們的奉獻，渴望和從不動搖的愛，歸功于他們一次又一次壓在自己的恐懼和疑惑，艱苦奮斗。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...its who we are as americans...its how this country was built.所以當今我們面對的挑戰似乎艱巨得難以克服，請別忘記開創不可能的奇跡，正是我們國家的歷史，美國人就是這樣，我們的國家就是這么建立起來的。

and if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us...if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button...then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids.如果我們的父母先輩可以為了我們而艱苦奮斗，如果他們可以建起摩天大樓，把人類送上月球，如果他們可以用一根按鈕就把世界連接，那是當然，我們也可以我們的后代而犧牲自我，努力建設。and if so many brave men and women could wear our countrys 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.如果那么多英勇的軍人可以穿起戎裝上陣，為捍衛我們的根本利益犧牲生命！那么當然作為這個民主之國的一份子我們也可以發揮自己的作用！當然我們也可以通過投票，讓我們的呼聲響徹大選之日

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...如果農民和鐵匠都可以從一個帝國中謀求獨立，如果移民們可以放下從前的一切來到這里尋求美好的生活；如果婦女們冒著牢獄之災也要投票；

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.如果一代人可以打敗大蕭條，成就一番事業；如果一位年輕的牧師可以用他的正義理想把我們送上平等之巔；如果美國人民為他們的身份而自豪，為他們所愛的人而勇敢的站在講臺上。那么當然，當然我們可以給人們平等的機會，去實現自己的美國夢！

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 baracks story, and so many other american stories possible.因為當塵埃落定，勝過一切的是這個國家的故事，一個希望不死，斗志永存的勵志傳說，我的故事，奧巴馬的故事，和千千萬萬美國人的故事，也因此成真。

ni-hao.it is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university...thank 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 about malaysian airlines flight 370.as my husband has said, the united states is 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 new ambassador to china, ambassador baucus...president wang...chairman zhu...vice president li...director cueller, professor oi and the stanford center...president sexton from new york university which has an excellent study abroad program in shanghai...and john thornton, director of the global leadership program at tsinghua university...thank you all so much for joining us.and most of all, i want to thank all of the students for being here today...and i particularly want to thank eric schafer and zhu xuanhao 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 oeoole like you across the globe.because we believe that relationships between nations arent just about relationships between thats why when my husband and i travel abroad,we dont just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.because we believe that relationships between nations arent just about relationships between governments or leaders...theyre about relationships between people, particularly our young people.so we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students...but also as a vital part of americas foreign policy.you see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button.because getting ahead in todays workplaces isnt just about getting good grades or test scores in school...its also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.or, as the chinese saying goes: it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” but lets be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own futurethat cures discovered here in beijing could save lives in america.?.that clean energy technologies from silicon valley in california could improve the environment here in china...that the architecture of an ancient temple in xian could inspire the design of new buildings in dallas or detroit and thats when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.thats what happened when abigail coplin became an american fulbright scholar here at peking university.she and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals...and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.professor niu ke from peking university was a fulbright scholar in the u.s.last year...and he reported, and i quote, ?the most memorable experiences were with my american friends.these lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad...and i am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.china is currently the fifth most popular destination for americans studying abroad.and today, the highest number of exchange students in the u.s.are from china.but still, too many students never have this chance.?.and some that do are hesitant to take it.they may feel like study abroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds of universities.or they may think to themselves, “well, that sounds fun, but how will it really be useful in my life? you see, i came from a working class family...and it never even oecurried to me to study abroad.my parents didnt get to attend college, arid i was focused on getting into a university and earning my degree so i could get a job and support myself.and for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfway around the world just isnt possible.and thats not acceptable, because study abroad shouldnt just be for students from certain backgrounds.our hope is to build conaections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that makes our country so vibrant and strong...and our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of america to the world.thats why, when my husband visited china back in 2009，he announced our 100,000 strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of american students studying in china.and this year, as we mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the normalization of relations between our countries.?.the u.s.government actually supports more american students in china than in any other country in the world.were sending high school, college and graduate students here to study chinese.?.were inviting teachers from china to teach mandarin in american schools...were providing free online advising for students in china who want to study in the u.s...and the u.s.-china fuibright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni.the private sector is stepping up as well.take the example of royale nicholson from cleveland, ohio who attends new york universitys program in shanghai.like me, royale is a first generation college student.?.and her mother worked two fulltimejobs while her father worked nights to support their &mily.and then theres philmon haile from the university of washington whose family came to the u.s.as refugees from eritrea when he was a child.of his experience studying in china, he said, study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we mpve into a new era of citizen diplomacy.”

“a new era of citizen diplomacy” 一 i couldnt have said it better myself, because thats really what im talking about.?.pm talking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world.and as i always tell young people back in america, you dont need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.i tell them that if you have an internet connection in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transported anywhere 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 china 一 because i want young people in america to be part of this visit thats really the power of technology 一 how 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.and thats how we decide which values and ideas we think are best 一 by questioning and debating them vigorously...by 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 end of plenty of questioning and criticism 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 has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies.

第三篇：米歇爾演講稿

英文原稿：

First Lady Michelle Obama:

When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me andlike so many of you, he never could've attended college without financial aid.孩子們應該受到很好的教育，說道這個問題，barack 懂得，就像我們中很多人一樣，沒有助學金他就也不可能上大學。

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.你們相信嗎？在我和他新婚之時，我們的助學貸款的壓力甚至遠大于房貸。當時我們那么年輕，還負債累累。

That'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.因此，barack 竭盡全力提高助學金額度，同時壓低利息，他希望讓每一個年輕人都能大展宏圖，不必為了求學債臺高筑

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.他懂得希望子孫過上好日子是這樣一種感受。他知道什么是美國夢，因為他曾親身經歷。他希望每一個人都能有相同的機會。

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.他知道什么是美國夢，因為他曾親身經歷。他希望每一個人都能有相同的機會。無論身份，無論家鄉，無論種族，無論信仰和情感。

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.他相信當每一個人努力奮斗，出人頭地，在通過機遇的大門之后，不會自私地關上大門，而會轉身伸出援手。給予人們共同的機會一起成功！

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.如果你要問我白宮這四年是否改變我的丈夫？我可以坦誠相告，不論是看他的品格，信仰，還是內心，此時此刻的他是彼時彼地我相愛的那個人！

He'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.如今的他還會像那時一樣，拒絕高薪工作，而深入社區基層，去幫助瀕臨倒閉的鋼廠的職工和家屬。去重建那樣的社區，幫助人們再度就業。因為對他來講，成功的標準并不是收入，而是你對他人生的積極影響

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.他還是那個當女兒剛降生時，會分分鐘鐘就跑到嬰兒床邊查看女兒是否還在呼吸的那個父親。會抱著女兒去找所有的熟人顯擺。

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.他至今仍每晚和我跟女兒一起吃晚餐。耐心地回答她們關于新聞和時事的問題，為她們在學校交朋友的事兒出謀劃策。

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.每天深夜我都見到他在辦公室沉默著，翻著一封封寄給他的信。有的信來自艱難謀生維持家用的父親，有的來自被保險公司棄之不管的病入膏肓的女性，有的信來自徒有大志卻懷才不遇的年輕人

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.”

我看到他為此憂心不已，他無比堅定地對我說：你無法想象他們過著什么樣的日子，米歇爾，這是不對的！我們必須再接再厲去改變這些，我們做的還遠遠不夠！

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.我看到那些故事，那些艱難困苦和那些夢想希望，正是那一切讓奧巴馬每日為之努力，從前的我絕想不到今天的我反而比四年前更愛我的丈夫了，甚至遠勝23 年前我們相愛時，我愛他！

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…

因為他不忘本！我愛他，因為他會去履行承諾，困難當頭他只會越挫越勇，我愛他，因為他對人們一視同仁！從不管你是那個黨派，又或是有無黨派。他知道我們都深愛這個國家，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 – when we'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.他愿意傾聽，從善如流，他愿意去挖掘每個人身上的閃光點！我愛他，因為在艱難無比，揪心不已的時刻，在法案可能無法通過，一切都可能重頭再來的時候。他從不會被四面的楚歌所動搖

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.就像他的祖母一樣，他會重新振作，再度前進，用他的耐心，智慧，勇氣和氣度！他總會提醒我們任重道遠，變革往往艱難而緩慢，根本無法一撅而起

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.”

但總有一天，我們會成功，就如既往的那些勝利，我們會最終達到彼岸，因為像我的父母，他的祖母，還有所有像他們一樣的人都對自己承諾，我沒能實現自己的夢想，但或許我的孩子們可以, 或許的們的孫輩可以.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.我，我們今天能站在這里，就歸功于他們的奉獻，渴望和從不動搖的愛，歸功于他們一次又一次壓在自己的恐懼和疑惑，艱苦奮斗。

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.所以當今我們面對的挑戰似乎艱巨得難以克服，請別忘記開創不可能的奇跡，正是我們國家的歷史，美國人就是這樣，我們的國家就是這么建立起來的。

And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us...if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button...then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids.如果我們的父母先輩可以為了我們而艱苦奮斗，如果他們可以建起摩天大樓，把人類送上月球，如果他們可以用一根按鈕就把世界連接，那是當然，我們也可以我們的后代而犧牲自我，努力建設。

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.如果那么多英勇的軍人可以穿起戎裝上陣，為捍衛我們的根本利益犧牲生命！那么當然作為這個民主之國的一份子我們也可以發揮自己的作用！當然我們也可以通過投票，讓我們的呼聲響徹大選之日

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...如果農民和鐵匠都可以從一個帝國中謀求獨立，如果移民們可以放下從前的一切來到這里尋求美好的生活；如果婦女們冒著牢獄之災也要投票；

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.如果一代人可以打敗大蕭條，成就一番事業；如果一位年輕的牧師可以用他的正義理想把我們送上平等之巔；如果美國人民為他們的身份而自豪，為他們所愛的人而勇敢的站在講臺上。那么當然，當然我們可以給人們平等的機會，去實現自己的美國夢！

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.因為當塵埃落定，勝過一切的是這個國家的故事，一個希望不死，斗志永存的勵志傳說，我的故事，奧巴馬的故事，和千千萬萬美國人的故事，也因此成真。

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.”

今天我不僅是第一夫人，也不僅是代表一個妻子，每當一天的工作結束，我的身份就只是一個操心的媽媽

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.我的女兒仍是我的心頭肉，我世界的中心但今天我不再像四年前般顧慮重重，不再擔心我和他怎么做才是對孩子們最好的。

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...親身經歷告訴我，如果要想給我的女兒和全天下的孩子創造一個美好的世界，如果我們想給他們一個夢想的基礎和一展抱負的機遇

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...如果我們想讓他們相信一切皆有可能，讓他們相信在美國，只要努力就一定能有回報 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.那么我們比任何時候，任何人都更加努力。我們必須再度團結一致，去一起支持肩負著你我信任，去領導我們前進的那個男人，我的丈夫

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.我們的總統——奧巴馬！謝謝！

第四篇：米歇爾北京大學演講稿

米歇爾在北京大學斯坦福中心演講稿

Ni-Hao.It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university...thank 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 about Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.As my husband has said, the United States is 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 new Ambassador to China, Ambassador Baucus...President Wang...Chairman Zhu...Vice President Li...Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the Stanford Center...President Sexton from New York University which has an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai...and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University...thank you all so much for joining us.And most of all, I want to thank all of the students for being here today...and I particularly want to thank Eric Schafer and Zhu Xuanhao 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 other's languagesMr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.And I'm here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among oeoole like you across the globe.We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations aren't just about relationships between，That's why when my husband and I travel abroad,we don't just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.We also come to schools like this one to meet wiht students like you.Because we believe that relationships between nations aren't just about relationships between governments or leaders...they're about relationships between people, particularly our young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students...but also as a vital part of America's foreign policy.You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button.Companies can do business and compete with companies across the globe.And we can text, email and skype with people on every continent.So studying abroad isn't just a fun way to spend a semester 一 it's quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in today's workplaces isn't just about getting good grades or test scores in school...it's also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders-experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”

But let's be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own futurewhether it's climate change, or economic opportunity, or the spread of nuclear weapons...these are shared challenges.No one country can confront them alone...the only way forward...That?s why it's so important for young people like you to live and study in each other's countries.Because that?s how you develop that habit of cooperation 一 you do it by immersing yourself in someone else's culture...by learning each other's stories…and by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.That's how you come to understand how much we all share And that's how you realize that we all have a stake in each other's successwe 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 1 was able to do in the United 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? you're not just changing your own life...you're changing the lives of everyone you meet.As the great American President John F.Kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the U.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 America's best face, and China's 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 borders...and learn to see ourselves in each other...and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.So I hope you all will keep seeking these kinds of experiences.And I hope you'll keep teaching each other...and learning from each other...and 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

第五篇：米歇爾的演講稿節選

觸動心靈--米歇爾的演講稿

不知道多長時間了，我的心靈沒有被他人的言語如此感動！這是觸動心靈的一次演講。這是活生生的愛國主義教育、人生觀價值觀教育，甚至是愛情觀教育。也是偉大的民主魅力的感染力！

孩子們應該受到很好的教育，說到這個問題，barack懂得，就像我們中很多人一樣，沒有助學金他就也不可能上大學。你們相信嗎？在我和他新婚之時，我們的助學貸款的壓力甚至遠大于房貸。當時我們那么年輕，還負債累累。因此，barack 竭盡全力提高助學金額度，同時壓低利息，他希望讓每一個年輕人都能大展宏圖，不必為了求學債臺高筑。歸根到底，這些對他來說根本無關政治，推己及人而已。他深深得知道家庭的處境。他懂得希望子孫過上好日子是這樣一種感受。他知道什么是美國夢，因為他曾親身經歷。他希望每一個人都能有相同的機會。無論身份，無論家鄉，無論種族，無論信仰和情感。他相信當每一個人努力奮斗，出人頭地，在通過機遇的大門之后，不會自私地關上大門，而會轉身伸出援手。給予人們共同的機會一起成功！

如果你要問我白宮這四年是否改變我的丈夫？我可以坦誠相告，不論是看他的品格，信仰，還是內心，此時此刻的他是彼時彼地我相愛的那個人！如今的他還會像那時一樣，拒絕高薪工作，而深入社區基層，去幫助瀕臨倒閉的鋼廠的職工和家屬。去重建那樣的社區，幫助人們再度就業。因為對他來講，成功的標準并不是收入，而是你對他人生的積極影響，他還是那個當女兒剛降生時，會分分鐘鐘就跑到嬰兒床邊查看女兒是否還在呼吸的那個父親。會抱著女兒去找所有的熟人顯擺。他至今仍每晚和我跟女兒一起吃晚餐。耐心地回答她們關于新聞和時事的問題，為她們在學校交朋友的事兒出謀劃策。每天深夜我都見到他在辦公室沉默著，翻著一封封寄給他的信。有的信來自艱難謀生維持家用的父親，有的來自被保險公司棄之不管的病入膏肓的女性，有的信來自徒有大志卻懷才不遇的年輕人，我看到他為此憂心不已，他無比堅定地對我說：你無法想象他們過著什么樣的日子，米歇爾，這是不對的！我們必須再接再厲去改變這些，我們做的還遠遠不夠！

我看到那些故事，那些艱難困苦和那些夢想希望，正是那一切讓奧巴馬每日為之努力，從前的我絕想不到今天的我反而比四年前更愛我的丈夫了，甚至遠勝23年前我們相愛時，我愛他！因為他不忘本！我愛他，因為他會去履行承諾，困難當頭他只會越挫越勇，我愛他，因為他對人們一視同仁！從不管你是那個黨派，又或是有無黨派。他知道我們都深愛這個國家，他愿意傾聽，從善如流，他愿意去挖掘每個人身上的閃光點！我愛他，因為在艱難無比，揪心不已的時刻，在法案可能無法通過，一切都可能重頭再來的時候。他從不會被四面的楚歌所動搖，就像他的祖母一樣，他會重新振作，再度前進，用他的耐心，智慧，勇氣和氣度！他總會提醒我們任重道遠，變革往往艱難而緩慢，根本無法一撅而起，但總有一天，我們會成功，就如既往的那些勝利，我們會最終達到彼岸，因為像我的父母，他的祖母，還有所有像他們一樣的人都對自己承諾，我沒能實現自己的夢想，但或許我的孩子們可以，或許的們的孫輩可以，我，我們今天能站在這里，就歸功于他們的奉獻，渴望和從不動搖的愛，歸功于他們一次又一次壓在自己的恐懼和疑惑，艱苦奮斗。所以當今我們面對的挑戰似乎艱巨得難以克服，請別忘記開創不可能的奇跡，正是我們國家的歷史，美國人就是這樣，我們的國家就是這么建立起來的。如果我們的父母先輩可以為了我們而艱苦奮斗，如果他們可以建起

摩天大樓，把人類送上月球，如果他們可以用一根按鈕就把世界連接，那是當然，我們也可以我們的后代而犧牲自我，努力建設。如果那么多英勇的軍人可以穿起戎裝上陣，為捍衛我們的根本利益犧牲生命！那么當然作為這個民主之國的一份子我們也可以發揮自己的作用！當然我們也可以通過投票，讓我們的呼聲響徹大選之日；如果農民和鐵匠都可以從一個帝國中謀求獨立，如果移民們可以放下從前的一切來到這里尋求美好的生活；如果婦女們冒著牢獄之災也要投票；如果一代人可以打敗大蕭條，成就一番事業；如果一位年輕的牧師可以用他的正義理想把我們送上平等之巔；如果美國人民為他們的身份而自豪，為他們所愛的人而勇敢的站在講臺上。那么當然，當然我們可以給人們平等的機會，去實現自己的美國夢！因為當塵埃落定，勝過一切的是這個國家的故事，一個希望不死，斗志永存的勵志傳說，我的故事，奧巴馬的故事，和千千萬萬美國人的故事，也因此成真，今天我不僅是第一夫人，也不僅是代表一個妻子，每當一天的工作結束，我的身份就只是一個操心的媽媽，我的女兒仍是我的心頭肉，我世界的中心但今天我不再像四年前般顧慮重重，不再擔心我和他怎么做才是對孩子們最好的。親身經歷告訴我，如果要想給我的女兒和全天下的孩子創造一個美好的世界，如果我們想給他們一個夢想的基礎和一展抱負的機遇，如果我們想讓他們相信一切皆有可能，讓他們相信在美國，只要努力就一定能有回報，那么我們比任何時候，任何人都更加努力。我們必須再度團結一致，去一起支持肩負著你我信任，去領導我們前進的那個男人，我的丈夫，我們的總統——奧巴馬！謝謝！
