第一篇：米歇爾為希拉里拉票演講 中英文對照

Thank you all.Thank you so much.You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝大家。非常感謝。很難相信，自從我第一次來這個大會并對大家講為何我丈夫應(yīng)該當(dāng)選美國總統(tǒng)已經(jīng)8年了。

Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House?

還記得我是如何向你們講述他的品行和堅定信念、他正派的作風(fēng)和他的魅力、以及他每天在白宮里為國家奉獻(xiàn)時，讓我們有目共睹的那些優(yōu)點(diǎn)?

I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world.And during our time in the White House, we’ve had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington.我還對你們講了我們的女兒，說她們是我們的心頭肉，對我們來說是世界的中心。在我們住在白宮的這段時間，我們有幸能見證她們從活潑的小女孩成長為泰然自若的年輕女性，這是一趟自我們抵達(dá)華盛頓后不久就開始的旅程。

可千萬別把心頭肉翻譯成flesh on my heart哦。

Have the joy of doing sth.的意思是“有幸能做什么”，并且表示很享受做這件事。

When they set off for their first day at their new school, I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those big men with guns.And I saw their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, what have we done?

我永遠(yuǎn)忘不了她們第一天出發(fā)去新學(xué)校上課的那一幕，那是一個冬天的早晨，我看著我們的女兒出發(fā)，她們一個7歲，一個10歲，和那些荷槍實(shí)彈的大漢們一起擠進(jìn)那些黑色的SUV。我看著她們把小臉抵在車窗上，而我腦子里唯一能想到的話是：“我們都干了什么?”

Set off for sth.的意思是“開始著手做某事”，也可以說set off for doing sth.比如：He sets off for building his own house.他開始建造自己的房子。

Up against和單純的against在大多數(shù)情況下可以互換，但當(dāng)其中的up確實(shí)也表示“向上”的時候則不行。

See, because at that moment I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.我想說的是，因為在那一刻我意識到：我們住在白宮的這段時間將成為她們今后人生的原點(diǎn)，而這段經(jīng)歷是將成就她們還是毀了她們都取決于我們?nèi)绾谓?jīng)營這段人生。

當(dāng)你想詳細(xì)解釋前面提到的東西的時候，可以簡單地用see開頭。

Make sb.是一種簡潔地表示“成就某人”的方式，使用這個表達(dá)方式的時候重音一般放在make上。不過make sb.的意義很多，既能是正面的，也能使反面的，要視語境來判斷如何翻譯。比如：You are my childhood idol.You made me.(你是我的童年偶像，是你成就了我。)里可以翻譯成“成就”;而I am a monster.But it’s you who made me.(我是個怪物。但是這都是你一手造成的。)里面就不行。

That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith.How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level.No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.這就是我們夫妻二人每天為女兒們所想的事，我們思考：怎樣在這種聚光燈下的非正常生活中，引導(dǎo)并保護(hù)她們，思索著怎樣讓他們面對其中的挑戰(zhàn)。我們思考怎樣勸導(dǎo)她們?nèi)o視那些質(zhì)疑她們父親公民身份以及信仰的人。我們思考怎樣才能表明自己的立場，告訴他們電視上那些公眾人物講出的仇恨言論并不代表這個國家的真正精神。我們思考怎樣向他們解釋：當(dāng)一個人表現(xiàn)得殘忍又霸道的時候，你不能自貶身價去和他撕扯。不，我們的座右銘是：用更高的高尚來回應(yīng)卑賤。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are their most important role models.And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school.Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours?

我們知道，我們孩子在注視著我們的一言一行。我們，作為父母，是他們最重要的榜樣。而且我要告訴各位，我們夫妻二人在作為總統(tǒng)與第一夫人的時候也是這么做的，因為我們知道自己的言行舉止舉足輕重，它們不光會影響我們的女兒們，也影響著整個國家的孩子們：那些告訴我們、曾在電視上看到我們、并以我們?yōu)檎n程報告主題的孩子們，以及那個睜著充滿希望的大眼睛，抬頭看向我丈夫并想著自己的發(fā)型是不是和他一樣的黑人小男孩。

Utter的意思和speak一樣是“說”，不過它比speak要正式、書面很多。

Approach的意思是“方法、途徑”，和means是一樣的意思。

Matter在這里的用法和it doesn’t matter里是一樣的，表示“舉足輕重”，意思基本等同于make a difference。

表達(dá)“全國”可以用across the country、all over the country、throughout the country.And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we’re deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.而且，請大家想明白，這才是我們今年11月投票時將要決定的，并非只是民主黨和共和黨的區(qū)別，并非只是左翼和右翼的區(qū)別。不，這場選舉，以及所有選舉所決定的，是未來4到8年將由誰來塑造我們的孩子。

Shape除了眾所周知的名詞意義，也可以作為動詞“塑造”來用。Shape your future.塑造你的未來。

And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.而我今晚出現(xiàn)在這里的原因是：在這場選舉中，我只愿將此重任托付給一個人，我認(rèn)為只有這個人才真正能夠勝任美國總統(tǒng)一職，而她就是我們的朋友希拉里·克靈頓。

Trust sb.with sth.可以表示“在某件事上相信某人”，如：I trust you with what you do.(我信任你的專業(yè)能力)。也可以表示“將某件東西托付給某人”，如：I’ll trust you with my money.(我會將我的錢托付給你)。

Be qualified to do sth.的意思是“有資格做什么”，而且他強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“因為達(dá)到了怎樣標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、擁有了怎樣的品質(zhì)，所以有資格”。

That’s right.See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they’ll ever afford college, kids whose parents don’t speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.對。就是這樣，我相信希拉里能領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這個國家，因為我看到她將一生都奉獻(xiàn)給了我們國家的孩子們，不光只是她那被她培養(yǎng)到完美的女兒，而是所有的孩子們，是那些需要一個捍衛(wèi)者的孩子們，是那些為了躲避地區(qū)幫派而繞遠(yuǎn)路上學(xué)的孩子們，是那些不知道自己怎樣才能負(fù)擔(dān)得起大學(xué)教育的孩子們，是那些雖然父母完全不懂英語自己卻夢想著過上更好生活的孩子們，是那些寄希望于我們來決定他們未來的孩子們。

Champion除了“冠軍”的意思還有“捍衛(wèi)者”的意思，通常指的是“對一種理念、一種主義的捍衛(wèi)者、擁戴者”。

Ever在這里是一種強(qiáng)調(diào)方式，是其“永遠(yuǎn)”含義的引申用法。

Look to sb.to do sth.的意思是“指望某人做某事”，通常只的是：因為對方有某種自己不具備的能力，所以講希望寄托于對方。

You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the Senate.如你們所見，希拉里在幾十年間一直任勞任怨地工作，為的是真正地使孩子們的生活有所不同。當(dāng)她是個年輕律師時，她就為殘障兒童的權(quán)益發(fā)聲;后來她成了第一夫人，她為孩子們的醫(yī)療保障奔忙;在國務(wù)卿任上，她依然在為孩子們爭取高質(zhì)量的保育環(huán)境。

And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments.So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.并且，八年前她競選失利之后，她并不惱怒，也沒有灰心喪氣。希拉里沒有打包走人，因為作為一個真正的公共利益服務(wù)者，她懂得這份事業(yè)比個人的欲望與失望重要得多。所以，她又挺身而出，以國務(wù)卿的身份為我們的國家服務(wù)，為孩子們的安全走遍全球。

And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs.But here’s the thing.What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.很多時候，希拉里都可以抱怨她的工作有多難，為人民付出的代價有多大，自己的外貌或言語甚至笑容時刻被人指責(zé)有多心累。可是，我最佩服她的一點(diǎn)，就是無論面對多大的壓力，她都不會垮掉，也從來不會偷懶。在她的世界里，永無放棄可言。

Take the easy way out的意思是“選擇更容易而非正確的道路”。

And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.所以，當(dāng)我想象一個能為我的女兒和所有孩子帶來美好和希望的美國總統(tǒng)的樣子時，這就是我想要的。

I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.我想要一個真正有能力堅持下去的人，一個了解這份工作、嚴(yán)肅對待它的人，一個懂得總統(tǒng)面對的問題不是非黑即白，也不能短短歸結(jié)為140個字的人。

Take something seriously是最為常用的表達(dá)“嚴(yán)肅對待某事”的用法。

Be boiled down to表示“可以總結(jié)為”，也可以用主動形式：it boils down to。

Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions.You can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out.You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.因為當(dāng)核武器的發(fā)射密碼就在你指尖，并且手握著整個國家軍隊的時候，你不可以做出輕率的決定。你不能死要面子，也不能一戳就發(fā)火。你必須運(yùn)籌帷幄、深思熟慮、見識廣博。

Snap的原意是“啪地一下”，經(jīng)常將它用作形容詞來表示“草率的”，比如snap decision是“草率的決定”，snap shot是“草草拍攝的照片”。

Thin skin和中文里一樣是“臉皮薄”的意思，不過它在英文里的對立面并不是“厚臉皮”，而是“忍辱負(fù)重”。

Lash out的基本意思是“大量揮霍”，既可以表示“大量揮霍錢財”，亦可以像這里一樣表示“發(fā)火(大量宣泄情感)”。

I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我心目中的總統(tǒng)，要有從事公眾服務(wù)的紀(jì)錄，用畢生工作向孩子們證明，我們奮斗的目標(biāo)不是追名逐利，而是讓每個人都有成功的機(jī)會。

And we give back even when we’re struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off.And there but for the grace of God go I.就算當(dāng)我們苦苦掙扎的時候，也要回報這個社會，因為總有人的生活比你還艱難。我們沒吃他們的苦，是因為上帝眷顧。

單純使用worse就表示“這個人更差勁”，而加上off后表示“這個人的處境更差”。

But在這里不是表示“但是”，而是表示“若不是??就??”，后面的go I是倒裝。

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.我想要的總統(tǒng)，應(yīng)當(dāng)告訴孩子們，我們國家的每一個人都很重要。他要深信國父們數(shù)百年前的理念，人人生而平等，每一個人都是偉大美國歷史珍視的一部分。

Put forth a vision, 提出一個愿景。

Be created后面可以直接帶形容詞，用以表示“被創(chuàng)造成什么樣子”。

And when crisis hits, we don’t turn against each other.No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.當(dāng)危機(jī)到來時，我們絕不分崩離析。我們互相傾聽，相互扶持，因為團(tuán)結(jié)才會讓我們更加強(qiáng)大。

And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be.And that’s why in this election I’m with her.今晚我在這里就是想告訴大家，希拉里就會是這樣一位總統(tǒng)。這就是為什么在這場大選中，我站在她的一邊。

這里的兩個that中，第一個是賓語從句引導(dǎo)詞，第二個是指代她要形容的總統(tǒng)。

With在表示“和”的同時也表達(dá)出一種“支持、擁戴、站在同一陣線”的意思，同時它也可以用來形容兩個人處于情侶或夫妻關(guān)系，視語境不同翻譯不同。

You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.她懂得作為一個總統(tǒng)，最主要的任務(wù)就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。為了孩子而團(tuán)結(jié)起來，我們的國家就是這樣不斷進(jìn)步的。不論是志愿做學(xué)生隊教練的人，還是去當(dāng)主日學(xué)的教師，他們都明白，培養(yǎng)下一代，需要整個國家的力量。

Village在這并不是“村子”的意思，而是“團(tuán)體”的意思，it takes a village的意思是“這需要團(tuán)結(jié)的力量”。

Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep passing down those blessings of liberty, police officers and the protesters in Dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe.People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.不同膚色和信仰的英雄們穿上制服，冒著生命危險將自由的福祉傳承下去。在達(dá)拉斯，警察和抗議者們都在拼盡全力地呼吁保護(hù)孩子們的安全。在奧蘭多，人們排著隊獻(xiàn)血，因為他們知道，那晚在酒吧的也可能就是他們的孩子。

Leaders like Tim Kaine who show our kids what decency and devotion look like.Leaders like Hillary Clinton who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her.蒂姆?凱恩這樣的領(lǐng)袖讓孩子們懂得了什么是正直與奉獻(xiàn)。希拉里這樣的領(lǐng)袖擁有的勇氣和魅力，讓她一直沒有放棄，不斷地沖擊限制女性發(fā)展的那道最高最艱難的玻璃頂，直到她終于將其擊碎，并帶著我們一同提升。

Guts的意思是“勇氣”，它在口語中要比courage常用得多。

Glass ceiling, 玻璃天花板，是指工作中、社會上被認(rèn)為設(shè)定的不可逾越的瓶頸，通常由歧視等原因造成。

That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.這就是我們國家的故事，是這個故事讓我今天站在這里。在這個故事中，曾有世世代代的人遭受著壓迫和束縛，被奴役的恥辱和被隔離的痛苦。但是他們始終懷揣著希望，不息地抗?fàn)帲越裉斓奈也拍苊刻煸谟膳`建造的白宮里醒來，看著我的女兒們，兩個美麗聰敏的黑皮膚少女，與狗狗們在白宮的草坪上嬉戲。

Lash是“鞭打”，bondage是“捆綁”，這里他們在一起是指代奴隸制度。

And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.因為希拉里，我的女兒，和所有的孩子們，覺得女人可以當(dāng)美國總統(tǒng)，這是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)氖隆?/p>

So, look, so don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country isn’t great, that somehow we need to make it great again.Because this right now is the greatest country on earth!

所以，別再聽別人說我們的國家不夠好，我們要讓她變好之類的話。因為此時此刻，這就是世界上最偉大的國家。

And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls’ promise and all our kids’ promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.我的兩個女兒就要去闖蕩世界了，我希望能有一個領(lǐng)袖能夠配得上這個真相，值得托付我的女兒以及所有孩子們的前途，能用愛與希望，和我們寄予孩子的無限期望來指導(dǎo)其每一天。

So in this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best.We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical.No, hear me.Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.所以在這次選舉中，我們不能坐視著希望最后的結(jié)果是最好的，我們承受不起疲倦、沮喪或憤世嫉俗的代價。聽我說，從現(xiàn)在起到十一月份，我們要像8年前或4年前那樣，為之付出行動。

We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!

我們要挨家挨戶敲門，讓更多的人來投票。我們要用盡我們對這個國家的每一絲熱情、每一份力量，和每一點(diǎn)愛，來推選希拉里?克林頓成為美利堅合眾國的總統(tǒng)!

So let’s get to work.Thank you all and God bless.讓我們行動起來吧。謝謝大家，上帝保佑。

第二篇：米歇爾訪華北大演講 中英文對照

美國第一夫人訪華北大演講稿中英文

3月22日上午，美國第一夫人米歇爾造訪北京大學(xué)，并接受北大校長贈書。之后，米歇爾在北大斯坦福中心以“讀萬卷書不如行萬里路”為主題的演講。在米歇爾的演講中，“留學(xué)”成為關(guān)鍵詞。她化用中國古語“讀萬卷書，不如行萬里路”，并結(jié)合自身經(jīng)歷現(xiàn)身說法，希望讓更多青年人擁有留學(xué)的機(jī)會。以下為米歇爾演講的雙語全文：

MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thank you.Well, ni-hao.(Laughter.)It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.謝謝。你好。很高興也很榮幸來到這里，在這所偉大的大學(xué)和你們共聚一堂。非常感謝你們邀請我。

Now, before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words about Malaysia 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 of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.在我今天開始之前，代表我自己和我的丈夫，我想就馬來西亞航空公司的MH370航班簡短說兩句。如我丈夫所說，美國正提供盡可能多的資源協(xié)助搜尋工作。請相信，在這個非常艱難的時刻，我們的心和航班上人員的家屬和親人在一起，我們?yōu)樗麄兤矶\。

Now 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 is an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai;and John Thornton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University.Thank you all for joining us.現(xiàn)在，我們首先來認(rèn)識一下美國新任駐華大使——博卡斯大使。王校長、朱主席、李副校長、Cuelluer主任、Jean Oi教授和斯坦福中心，紐約大學(xué)的塞克頓斯校長（該校在上海開設(shè)了一個優(yōu)秀的海外留學(xué)項目），以及清華大學(xué)全球領(lǐng)袖項目主任約翰·桑頓，由衷地感謝大家的到來。

But most of all, I want to thank all of the students who are here today.And I particularly want to thank Eric Schaefer and Zhu Xuanhao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.That was a powerful symbol of everything that I want to talk with you about today.最重要的是，我要感謝今天所有到場的學(xué)生們......我要特別感謝埃里克·謝弗和朱宣皓的精彩英文和中文介紹。這絕佳地詮釋了我今天要和大家聊的全部話題。

See, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, Mr.Schafer and Ms.Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more.And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the globe.你們看，通過學(xué)習(xí)彼此的語言，通過展現(xiàn)對彼此文化的好奇心和尊重，謝弗先生、朱女士以及你們大家正在搭建理解的橋梁，這些橋梁帶來更多的豐碩成果。我今天來到你們這里是因為我知道，我們的未來取決于全球像你們這樣年輕人間的這樣的聯(lián)系。

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 with 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 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.這也是為什么我們夫婦在國外訪問時，不只參觀宮殿、議會和會晤國家元首。我們也來到學(xué)校，與像你們一樣的學(xué)生見面。因為我們相信，國與國之間的關(guān)系不只是政府或領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人之間的關(guān)系，它們是人民間―特別是年輕人之間的關(guān)系。因此，我們認(rèn)為海外留學(xué)項目不只是為學(xué)生提供的教育機(jī)會，還是美國外交政策至關(guān)重要的組成部分。

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, Skype with people on every continent.通過現(xiàn)代技術(shù)奇跡，我們的世界比以往任何時候都更多地聯(lián)系在一起。思想可以通過點(diǎn)擊按鈕跨越海洋。全球各地的公司可以進(jìn)行業(yè)務(wù)往來和相互竟?fàn)帯Ｎ覀兛梢耘c各大洲的人們通過短信、電子郵件和Skype進(jìn)行溝通。

So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester;it is 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, which are important.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.”

因此，出國留學(xué)不只是以開心的方式度過一個學(xué)期——它正迅速成為全球化經(jīng)濟(jì)中取得成功的關(guān)鍵。因為要走在當(dāng)今職場的前沿，只在學(xué)校里取得好成績是不夠的，還應(yīng)擁有國境外的真實(shí)體驗：體驗完全不同的語言、文化和社會。正如中國的一句古話所說：“讀萬卷書，不如行萬里路。”

But let’s be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future.It’s 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 time-– whether it’s climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weapons--these are shared challenges.And no one country can confront them alone.The only way forward is together.我想要說的是，出國留學(xué)絕不僅是改善你們自己的未來，它也關(guān)乎塑造你們的國家、關(guān)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(zhàn)一一無論是氣侯變化、經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)遇，還是核武器擴(kuò)散一一這些都是我們共同的挑戰(zhàn)。沒有任何一個國家能夠單獨(dú)應(yīng)對它們??唯一的出路就是共同攜手。

That’s why it is 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.You do it by immersing yourself in one another’s culture, by learning each other’s stories, by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.這就是為什么年輕人到彼此國家學(xué)習(xí)和生活是如此重要。因為這是你們培養(yǎng)合作習(xí)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(diǎn)。

That’s how you come to understand how much we all share.That’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s success--that 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 Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.這是你們了解到我們共享多少東西的途徑。這是你們認(rèn)識到我們的成功惠及彼此的途徑。在北京發(fā)現(xiàn)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(shù)可以改善中國的環(huán)境，西安一座古老寺廟的架構(gòu)可激發(fā)達(dá)拉斯或者底特律新建筑設(shè)計的靈感。

第三篇：希拉里演講中英文

雙語字幕如下：

Thank you。Thank you all。………。

謝謝你們。謝謝你們所有人。（各種謝）

Very proud of you group。

我為你們感到非常驕傲。

Thank you my friends。Thank you。Thank you so very much for being here。

感謝你們，我的朋友們。感謝你們。非常感謝你們能來這。

And I love you all，too。

我也愛你們所有人。

Last night I congratulated Donald Trump and offer to work with him on behalf of our country。

昨晚，我恭喜了唐納德·川普，并提出愿意為了我們的國家和他共事。

I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans。

我希望他能成為一個成功的、為所有美國人民服務(wù)的總統(tǒng)。

This is not the outcome we wanted or worked so hard for。

這并不是我們想要的結(jié)果，我們那么努力地奮戰(zhàn)也不是為了這個。

And I am sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the visions we hold for our country。

我很抱歉我沒有贏得這次選舉，我辜負(fù)了我們共同的價值觀，辜負(fù)了我們對我們國家的愿景。

But I feel，I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together，this vast，diverse，creative，unruly，energized campaign。

然而我為這場我們共同奮戰(zhàn)的選舉感到驕傲和感激，這是一場宏大、多樣、有創(chuàng)意、別具一格、充滿活力的選戰(zhàn)。

You represent the best of America and being your candidate has been one of the greatest honor of my life。

你們代表了美國最好的一面，而在這擔(dān)任候選人對我來說是一生中最大的榮耀之一。

I know how disappointed you feel because I feel it too。

我知道你們有多么失望，因為我也同樣失望。

And so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort。

而那成千上萬將自己的夢想和希望投入進(jìn)來的美國人也同樣失望。

This is painful and it will be for a longtime。

這很讓人痛苦，而且我們將要痛苦很長時間。

But I want you to remember this。

但我希望你們能記住：

Our campaign was never about one person or even one election。

我們的競選活動從來就不是關(guān)于一個人或者甚至一次選舉的。

It was about the country we love and about building an America that’s hopeful，inclusive and big hearted。

它是關(guān)于這個我們摯愛的國家的，是關(guān)于建立一個充滿希望、多樣性和包容力的美國的。

We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought。

我們已經(jīng)看見：我們國家的分裂程度遠(yuǎn)超我們的想象。

But I still believe in America and I always will。

但我依舊對美國抱有信心，而且我一直會。

And if you do，then we must accept this result and then look to the future。

而如果你也會，你就必須接受這次的結(jié)果并放眼未來。

Donald Trump is going to be our president。We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead。

唐納德·川普將會成為我們的總統(tǒng)。我們應(yīng)該用開放的思維來接待他，并給他一個領(lǐng)導(dǎo)我們的機(jī)會。

Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power。

我們的憲政民主明文記規(guī)定了和平的權(quán)利轉(zhuǎn)移。

And we don’t just respect that。We cherish it。

我們不光尊重這一點(diǎn)。我們珍視這一點(diǎn)。

It also enshrines other things – the rule of law，the principle that we are all equal in rights and dignity，freedom of worship and expression。

它還規(guī)定了其他的一些事——法制、我們所有人都在權(quán)利與尊嚴(yán)上平等這一原則，以及信仰與言論自由。

We respect and cherish these values too。And we must defend them。

我們也同樣尊重并珍視這些價值觀。而且我們必須保護(hù)他們。

And let me add，our constitutional democracy demands our participation。Not just every 4 years but all the time。

請容我再補(bǔ)充一點(diǎn)，我們的憲政民主要求我們參與并合作，并不是每4年才一次，而是永遠(yuǎn)如此。

So let’s do all we can to keep advancing the courses and values we all hold dear，making our economy work for everyone，not just those at the top，protecting our country and protecting our planet and breaking all the barriers that hold any American back from achieving their dreams。

所以讓我們所有人都竭盡所能來推行這些我們珍視的價值觀吧，來使我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)體讓所有人——而非上層的少數(shù)——都受益，來保護(hù)我們的國家并保護(hù)我們的星球，并打破所有那些阻礙美國人實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想的障壁。

We spent a year and a half bringing together billions of people from every corner of our country to say with onevoice that we believe that the American dream is big enough for everyone，for people of all races and religions，for men and women，for immigrants，for LGBT people and people with disabilities，for everyone。

我們花了一年半的時間，講數(shù)以億計的人從全國各地匯聚到一起共同發(fā)聲，這個共同的聲音是：美國夢大到足夠容納所有人，無論種族、宗教、男女、性向，也不管你是否是移民或殘障人士，所有人都有份。

So now，our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part to build that better，stronger，fairer America we seek。

所以，現(xiàn)在，我們作為公民的義務(wù)就是繼續(xù)做好自己分內(nèi)的事，以此來建立那個我們尋求的更好、更強(qiáng)、更公平的美國。

And I know you will。

而我知道你們會這么做。

I am so grateful to stand with all of you。

我為能和你們并肩而立感到感恩。

I wanna thank Tim Kaine and Ann Holton for being our partners on this journey。

我想感謝提姆·凱恩和安妮·霍頓能在這次旅程中做我的伙伴。

It has been a joy to get to know them better and it gives me great hope and comfort to know that Tim will remain on the front lines of our democracy representing Virginia as a Senator。

能更加深入地認(rèn)識他們我感到很高興。而且，當(dāng)我想到提姆會以弗吉尼亞參議員的身份繼續(xù)在前線為我們的民主而戰(zhàn)的時候，我內(nèi)心就充滿希望與慰藉。

To Barack and Michelle Obama，our country owes you an enormous debt of gratitude。

對于巴拉克和米歇爾·奧巴馬夫婦，我們的國家欠你們一個真摯的感謝。

We thank you for your graceful，determined leadership that has meant so much for so many Americans and people across the world。

我們感謝你們優(yōu)雅而又堅定的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，這對于美國和全世界的許多人來說都意義重大。

And to Bill and Chelsea，Mark，Charlotte，Aiden，our brothers and our entire family，my love for you is more than I can ever express。

對于比爾和切爾西、馬克、夏洛特、艾登、我們的兄弟們和整個家庭，我對你們的愛已經(jīng)無法用語言表達(dá)。

You crisscrossed this country on our behalf and lifted me up when I needed it most even 4-month-old Aiden who traveled with his mom。

你們?yōu)榱宋覀儽疾ㄓ谶@整個國家，你們在我最需要幫助的時候像我伸出援手，就連4個月大就和媽媽一起奔波的艾登也是。

I will always be grateful to the creative，talented，dedicated men and women at our headquarters in Brooklyn and across our country。

我會永遠(yuǎn)為我們布魯克林總部以及全國的那些堅定、有才又富有創(chuàng)造力的人們而心存感激。

You poured your hearts into this campaign。For some of you who are veterans it’s a campaign after you had done other campaigns。Some of you，it was your first campaign。

你們將自己的心血傾注到這次選戰(zhàn)當(dāng)中。對于你們當(dāng)中的一部分老手來說，這只是許多次選戰(zhàn)后的又一場，對另一些來說則是第一次。

I want each of you to know that you are the best campaign anybody could ever expected or wanted。

我想讓你們所有人都知道，你們是世上最棒的競選團(tuán)隊。

And to the millions of volunteers，community leaders，activists and union organizers who knocked down doors，talked to neighbors，posted on facebook，even in secret private facebook sites，I want everybody to come out from behind that and make sure your voices are heard going forward。

而對這數(shù)以萬計的志愿者、社區(qū)領(lǐng)袖、積極分子以及工會組織者，這些挨家挨戶竅門拜訪、與鄰居交談、在臉書發(fā)文——即使是臉書的私密網(wǎng)絡(luò)——的人，我希望你們所有人都從幕后走出來，并讓你們的聲音為人所聞。

For everyone that sent in contributions as small as 5 dollars that kept us going，thank you，thank you from all of us。

對所有那些為了讓我能夠運(yùn)作而捐款的人，即使你只捐了5美元，感謝你們，我們所有人都感謝你們。

And to the young people in particular，I hope you will hear this。

另外，我尤其希望年輕人能聽到我接下來要說的：

I have，as Tim said，spent my entire adult life fighting for what I believe in。

正如提姆所說，我將成年后的時光全都用來為自己的信念而戰(zhàn)。

I had successes and I had setbacks，sometimes really painful ones。

我有過成功，也有過失敗，其中一些失敗非常慘痛。

Many of you are at the beginning of your professional，public and political careers。

你們當(dāng)中有些人才剛剛開始自己作為專業(yè)人士、公共事務(wù)工作者和政治人物的職業(yè)生涯。

You will have successes and setbacks too。

你們也會有成功與失敗的時刻。

This loss hurts。But please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it。

這次的失敗讓我們傷得很疼。但請永遠(yuǎn)不要停止相信：為自己的信念二戰(zhàn)是正確的，也是值得的。

It is。It is worth it。

是的，是值得的。

And so we need you to keep up these fights now and the rest of your life。

所以，我們需要你們繼續(xù)這樣的戰(zhàn)斗，在現(xiàn)在，以及余生。

And to all the women，and especially the young women，who put their faith in this campaign and in me，I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion。

還有，對于所有的女性，特別是年輕的女性，那些將自己的信仰投注到這次選戰(zhàn)以及我身上的女性，我希望你們能知道：對我來說沒有比成為你們的榜樣更值得驕傲的事了。

Now，I know that we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling，but someday someone will and hopefully sooner than we might think right now。

不過，我知道我們還沒能打破那層最高、最硬的天花板，不過總有一天會有人做到，而且這很有可能比我們現(xiàn)在預(yù)期的要早。

And to all the little girls who are watching this，never doubt that you’re valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams。

然后，對于所有那些正在觀看我講話的小女孩，請永遠(yuǎn)不要懷疑自己的價值和力量，你們理應(yīng)得到世間所有追求夢想的機(jī)會。

Finally，finally，I am so grateful for our country and for all it has given to me。

最后的最后，我非常感激我們的國家，感謝它給予的一切。

I count my blessings every single day that I am an American。

我每天對因為身為一個美國人而感到被保佑。

And I still believe as deeply as I ever have that if we stand together and work together with respect for our differences，strength in our convictions and love for this nation our best days are still ahead of us。

而我依舊堅信，正如我一直堅信的那樣，只要我們尊重彼此的不同、堅定前進(jìn)并熱愛我們的國家，我們的好日子就會到來。

Because，you know，I believe we are stronger together and we will go forward together。

因為，你們也知道，我相信我們團(tuán)結(jié)起來就會更強(qiáng)，而且我們將團(tuán)結(jié)起來一起前進(jìn)。

And you should never，ever regret fighting for that。

而我們永遠(yuǎn)永遠(yuǎn)不應(yīng)該對這樣的奮斗感到遺憾。

You know，scripture tells us，let us not grow weary in doing good，for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart。

大家都知道，圣經(jīng)告訴我們，永遠(yuǎn)不要厭倦做正確的事；因為只要我們不放棄，總有一天我們將迎來豐收。

So my friends，let us have faith in each other，let us not grow weary and lose heart，for there are more seasons to come and there is more work to do。

我的朋友們，讓我們不要放棄對彼此的信念，不要厭煩，不要灰心，因為好日子還在等著我們，我們?nèi)沃氐肋h(yuǎn)。

I am incredibly honored and grateful to have had this chance to represent all of you in this consequential election。

我為能代表你們參加這場至關(guān)重要的選舉而感到榮耀之至、感激涕零。

May God bless you and may God bless the United States of America。

愿上帝保佑你們，愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

第四篇：2016米歇爾助選演講拯救希拉里

2016米歇爾助選演講拯救希拉里

Thank you all, thank you so much.It is hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝大家，非常感謝。我第一次在這個大會發(fā)言時，說的是為什么我的丈夫?qū)⒊蔀榭偨y(tǒng)，很難相信，這已是八年前的事了。

Remember how I told you about his character and his conviction? His decency and grace? The traits we have seen every day as he has served our country in the White House.還記得我夸他的人格和信仰嗎？我說他正派、優(yōu)雅，現(xiàn)在我們每天都看他在白宮為國盡瘁。

I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world, and during our time in the White House we have had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women.我還說到我們的女兒，我們的心肝寶貝，我們世界的中心。我們在白宮的日子中，看著她們從活潑的小女孩長成亭亭的大姑娘。

A journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington when they set off for their first day at their new school.I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those men with guns.And with all their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, 'What have we done?'

我們住進(jìn)白宮后，她們在新學(xué)校開始了新的旅程。我不會忘記那個冬天的早晨，我看著我們的女兒，一個7歲，一個10歲，被塞進(jìn)黑色的SUV，護(hù)送的人荷槍實(shí)彈。她們的小臉蛋貼在窗戶上，我心里想得是“我們到底做了些什么？”

At that moment, I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation of who they would become.And how well we manage this experience could truly make or break them.那一刻，我意識到我們在白宮的歲月將成為她們未來人生的基石。我們怎樣應(yīng)對這種經(jīng)歷，會成就她們，也會毀掉她們。

That is what Barack and I think about every day as he tried to guide and protect our girls from the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight.How we urged them to ignore those who question their father's citizenship or faith.這也是為什么奧巴馬和我每天都在想這件事，他努力引導(dǎo)她們應(yīng)對并盡量讓她們避免聚光燈下的不凡生活所帶來的挑戰(zhàn)，我們督促她們不要在意那些對父親的公民權(quán)或信仰的質(zhì)疑。

How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level.Our motto is, when they go low, we go high.我們堅決地告訴她們公眾人物在電視上充滿仇恨的語言不代表這個國家的真精神。我們解釋說，有人殘酷無情、盛氣凌人，你不能和他們在一個水平上。我們的格言是，他們沒品味，我們有格調(diào)。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are the most important role-model.我們說每句話，做每件事，知道孩子們都在看著。作為父母，我們是最重要的榜樣。

Let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls but the children across this country.Kids who say, “I saw you on TV.” 我來告訴大家，奧巴馬和我作為總統(tǒng)和第一夫人也用同樣的方式工作，因為我們知道我們的言行之重，不僅對女兒而言如此，對全國的孩子也是一樣。孩子們說：“我在電視上看到你了”。

Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope, and he wondered, 'Is my hair like yours?' Make no mistake about it, this November, when we get to the polls, that is what we are deciding.Not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.In this election, and every election, it is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.小黑孩兒仰望著我的丈夫，雙眼張大，充滿希望，他想知道：“我的頭發(fā)和你的一樣嗎？”別弄錯，今年11月，當(dāng)我們投票時，這才是我們要決定的——不是民主黨或共和黨，也并非左翼、右翼。這一次選舉以及每一次選舉，都關(guān)乎我們將運(yùn)用這種權(quán)力在下一個四年或八年中塑造我們的孩子。

I am you tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.今晚我就是你們大家中的一員，因為這次大選中，我只信任一個人，我認(rèn)為只有她有資格成為美國總統(tǒng)，那就是我們的朋友希拉里·克林頓。

I trust Hillary to lead this country because I have seen her lifelong devotion to our nation's children.Not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion: kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs.Kids who wonder how they will ever afford college.Kids whose parents don't speak a word of English, but dream of a better life;who look to us to dream of what they can be.我信任由希拉里領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這個國家，因為我看她一生奉獻(xiàn)給我們國家的孩子。她自己的女兒，撫養(yǎng)出類拔萃，不僅如此，所有孩子都需要支持：那些上學(xué)路遠(yuǎn)卻要遠(yuǎn)離壞人的孩子；想上得起大學(xué)的孩子；那些不會說英語卻夢想著更好生活的孩子；指望著我們來擁有夢想的孩子。

Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless work to actually make a difference in their lives.Advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children's health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the senate.幾十年來，希拉里不懈努力，讓他們的生活得到改善。年輕時作為律師，她為有殘疾的孩子出頭，做第一夫人時為孩子們的健康呼走，做參議員時主張更好關(guān)愛孩子。

And when she did not win the nomination eight years ago, she did not get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home because...Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own disappointment.八年前沒有獲得提名，她沒有發(fā)怒，也沒有幻滅。希拉里沒有收拾包袱打道回府，因為她知道有一件事比她自己的失望之情更加重要。

She proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.她挺身而出，以國務(wù)卿的身份再次為我們國家服務(wù)，走遍全球，保障我們的孩子安全。

There were moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being [torn] apart for how she looked, or how she talked, or even how she laughed.很多時候，希拉里本該知道這個工作太艱難，公共服務(wù)的代價太高，自己的形象、說話方式甚至笑的方式都引發(fā)爭吵，這讓她疲憊不堪。

But here's the thing: What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.可事實(shí)上，我最敬佩希拉里的地方在于她從未屈服于壓力，也從不取巧，在生活中從不退縮。

And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that is what I want.I want someone with the proven strength to persevere.Somebody who knows this job and takes it seriously.Somebody who understands that the issues of our nation are not black or white.It cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.想想我的女兒們和所有我們的孩子，她就是我想要的總統(tǒng)。我需要那個被證明不屈不撓的人；那個知道該怎么做，并認(rèn)真去做的人；那個了解我們的國家事務(wù)而不是主張非黑即白的人。國家大事不是寫一條140字的推文就能解決的。

Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can't make snap decisions.You can't have thin skin or a tendency to lash out.You need to be steady and measured and well informed.因為你指尖上有核發(fā)射密碼，軍隊聽你指揮，你不能一拍腦袋就做出決定。你不能面子薄，也不能只會批判。你需要穩(wěn)健、有節(jié)、見多識廣。

I want a president with a record of public service.Someone whose life's work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves;we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我們需要一個有公共服務(wù)經(jīng)歷的總統(tǒng)，其工作向我們的孩子表明，我們不因自己而追名逐利，我們的奮斗讓每個人都有機(jī)會成功。

A president that truly believes that our founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.When crisis hits, we don't turn against each other, we listen to each other.We lean on each other.We are always stronger together.我們需要的總統(tǒng)是真心相信我們的國父在多年前提出的準(zhǔn)則，即所有人生來平等，每個人都是偉大美國故事中最可愛的部分。危機(jī)來臨，我們不相互攻訐，我們彼此傾聽，我們互相學(xué)習(xí)，我們在一起總會更加強(qiáng)大。

I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president Hillary Clinton will be and that is why in this election, I'm with her.今晚我站在這里，因為我知道希拉里總統(tǒng)就是這樣的。正因為如此，在這次大選中，我支持她。

You see, Hillary understands that the presidency is about one thing and one thing only.It is about leaving something better for our kids.That is how we have always moved this country forward by all of us coming together on behalf of our children.你瞧，希拉里明白當(dāng)總統(tǒng)該干的事，且只該干這件事，那就是給我們的孩子留下更美好的遺產(chǎn)。我們就是這樣以孩子的名義，共同推動著國家的進(jìn)步。

Volunteering to coach the team, teach the Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to pass on those blessings of liberty;police officers and protesters in Dallas who all that really want to keep our children safe;people who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, or their daughter in the club.志愿訓(xùn)練隊伍，在主日學(xué)校教書，因為他們知道這值得花功夫。無論膚色和信仰，穿制服的英雄們冒著生命危險將這些自由的祝福傳遞下去。達(dá)拉斯的警員和抗議者真心希望保護(hù)我們孩子們的安全。那些在奧蘭多獻(xiàn)血的人排起長隊，因為那也可能是他們的兒子或女兒。

Leaders like Tim Kaine, who show our kids what decency and devotion look like.Leaders like Hillary Clinton, who have the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in the highest and hardest glass ceiling until they finally break through, lifting all of us along with her.像蒂姆·凱恩這樣的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，讓我們的孩子們知道什么是正直與奉獻(xiàn)；像希拉里這樣的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，有勇氣、有雅量再次歸來，打碎最高、最艱難的天花板，直到最終取得突破，讓所有人都和她一起提升。

That is the story of this country.The story that has brought me to the stage tonight.The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, who kept on striving, and hoping, and doing what needed to be done.這才是我們國家的故事，這個故事今晚把我?guī)现v臺。這是一代代人的故事，他們曾遭受繩索的捆扎、為奴的恥辱、受隔離的傷痛，他們卻不斷奮斗，充滿希望，完成使命。

So that today, I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.And I watch my daughters a€” two beautiful intelligent black young women a€” play with the dog on the White House lawn.如今，我每天早上都從一所奴隸修建的房屋中醒來，我看著我的女兒，兩個漂亮聰慧的黑人姑娘在白宮草坪上逗狗。

And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.因為希拉里，我的女兒和所有人的兒女們現(xiàn)在都理所當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為一個女人可以做合眾國總統(tǒng)。

Don't let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great.That somehow we need to make it great again.Because this right now is the greatest country on Earth.別讓人對你說這個國家不再偉大了，現(xiàn)在我們需要想辦法讓她再次偉大，因為現(xiàn)在她就是地球上最偉大的國家。

And as my daughters set out on the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader worthy of my girls' promise and all of our kids' promise.A leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.我的女兒們開始闖世界了，我需要一個配得上這一事實(shí)的領(lǐng)袖，配得上我對女兒的承諾和都所有孩子們承諾的領(lǐng)袖。這個領(lǐng)袖每天被愛和希望引領(lǐng)，被我們?yōu)楹⒆觽冊O(shè)想的難以置信的偉大夢想所引領(lǐng)。

In this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best, we cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical.Hear me: Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.這次大選，我們不能無所作為，希望一切都會完美，我們經(jīng)受不起倦怠、泄氣或玩世不恭。聽我說：從現(xiàn)在到11月，我們要像八年前和四年前一樣振作。

We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of passion into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America.Let's get to work.我們需要挨家挨戶地敲門，我們需要獲得每一張選票，我們需要把最后一分熱情注入選舉希拉里·克林頓為美利堅合眾國總統(tǒng)的事業(yè)中來。讓我們開始行動吧。

Thank you all and God bless.謝謝，上帝保佑。

第五篇：米歇爾北大演講(中英文)

Remarks of First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama Stanford Center at Peking University Ni hao.It is such a pleasant 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 above Malaysian(sic)Airline 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 news 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 Thorton, 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 student for being here today…and I particularly 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 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 your people like you across the globe.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just 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 leaders…they’re about relationships between people, particularly our young people.So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity f or 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.1 Ideas can cross ocean with the click of a button.Companies 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 isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester-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 bordersit’s 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 someone’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 successbecause I want young people in America to be part of this visit.That’s really the power of technologyby 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 and of plenty of questioning and criticizing from our media and our fellow citizens...and it’s not always easy...but we wouldn’t 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 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 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.http://video.sina.com.cn/v/b/129154705-2469083980.html

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬夫人米歇爾發(fā)表演講

在北京大學(xué)斯坦福中心

2014年3月22日，美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬夫人米歇爾在北京大學(xué)斯坦福中心發(fā)表演講，與中美學(xué)生見面，探討留學(xué)話題以及科技在文化交流中發(fā)揮的重要作用。演講全文如下：

你好!能夠在這所偉大的大學(xué)里與你們大家在一起，真是莫大的榮幸。非常感謝你們的邀請。

在開始今天講話之前，我想代表我自己和我丈夫就馬來西亞航空公司370航班簡短地說幾句。如我丈夫所說，美國正提供盡可能多的資源協(xié)助搜尋工作。請相信，在這個非常艱難的時刻，我們的心和航班上人員的家屬和親人在一起，我們?yōu)樗麄兤矶\。

現(xiàn)在，我們首先來認(rèn)識一下美國新任駐華大使，博卡斯大使、王校長、朱主席、李副校長、Cuelluer主任、Oi教授和斯坦福中心，紐約大學(xué)的塞克頓斯校長，該校在上海開設(shè)了一個優(yōu)秀的海外留學(xué)項目，以及清華大學(xué)全球領(lǐng)袖項目主任約翰桑頓，由衷地感謝大家的到來。

最重要的是，我要感謝今天所有到場的學(xué)生們。我要特別感謝埃里克謝弗和朱宣皓的精彩英文和中文介紹。這絕佳地詮釋了我今天要和大家聊的全部話題。你們看，通過學(xué)習(xí)彼此的語言，通過展現(xiàn)對彼此文化的好奇心和尊重，謝弗先生、朱女士以及你們大家正在搭建理解的橋梁，這些橋梁帶來更多的豐碩成果。

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(lián)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(xué)校，與像你們一樣的學(xué)生見面。因為我們相信，國與國之間的關(guān)系不只是政府或領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人之間的關(guān)系，它們是人民間―特別是年輕人之間的關(guān)系。

因此，我們認(rèn)為海外留學(xué)項目不只是為學(xué)生提供的教育機(jī)會，還是美國外交政策至關(guān)重要的組成部分。“讀萬卷書，不如行萬里路”。

你們看，通過現(xiàn)代技術(shù)奇跡，我們的世界比以往任何時候都更多地聯(lián)系在一起。思想可以通過點(diǎn)擊按鈕跨越海洋。全球各地的公司可以進(jìn)行業(yè)務(wù)往來和相互竟?fàn)帯Ｎ覀兛梢耘c各大洲的人們通過短信、電子郵件和Skype進(jìn)行溝通。

因此，出國留學(xué)不只是以開心的方式度過一個學(xué)期——它正迅速成為全球化經(jīng)濟(jì)中取得成功的關(guān)鍵。因為要走在當(dāng)今職場的前沿，只在學(xué)校里取得好成績是不夠的，還應(yīng)擁有國境外的真實(shí)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(xué)絕不僅是改善你們自己的未來，它也關(guān)乎塑造你們的國家、關(guān)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(zhàn)—無論是氣侯變化、經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)遇，還是核武器擴(kuò)散—這些都是我們共同的挑戰(zhàn)。沒有任何一個國家能夠單獨(dú)應(yīng)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(xué)習(xí)和生活是如此重要。因為這是你們培養(yǎng)合作習(xí)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(diǎn)。這是你們了解到我們共享多少東西的途徑。這是你們認(rèn)識到我們的成功惠及彼此的途徑。在北京發(fā)現(xiàn)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(shù)可以改善中國的環(huán)境，西安一座古老寺廟的架構(gòu)可激發(fā)達(dá)拉斯或者底特律新建筑設(shè)計的靈感。這是你們與同學(xué)、實(shí)驗伙伴建立起的聯(lián)系能帶來更多收獲的時候。阿比蓋爾·柯普林成為北京大學(xué)美國富布賴特學(xué)者的時候，她與同事們在首屈一指的科學(xué)雜志上共同發(fā)表論文，建立研究伙伴關(guān)系，這段關(guān)系在他們各自回國后還長久持續(xù)著。

來自北京大學(xué)的牛可教授是去年的美國富布賴特學(xué)者。我引述下他的話，“最難忘的經(jīng)歷是和我的美國朋友們在一起。”這些長久的紐帶代表留學(xué)的真正價值，我很興奮，越來越多的學(xué)生正得到這樣的機(jī)會。

中國目前是美國人留學(xué)的第五大熱門目的地。今天的美國，來自中國的交換生數(shù)量最多。

盡管如此，太多的學(xué)生從來沒有這樣的機(jī)會，而一些有機(jī)會的學(xué)生則猶豫是否要抓住它。他們可能覺 7 得留學(xué)只是有錢的學(xué)生或來自某類大學(xué)的學(xué)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(xué)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(xué)。我的父母沒有上過大學(xué)，我將精力集中在進(jìn)入大學(xué)并獲得學(xué)位，這樣我就可以得到一份工作并養(yǎng)活自己。對于很多像我一樣靠奮斗才能讀得起一個常規(guī)學(xué)期的年輕人來說，支付世界另一邊的機(jī)票或生活費(fèi)實(shí)在是不可能的。這是不可接受的，因為留學(xué)不應(yīng)僅屬于有一些背景的學(xué)生。

我們希望在所有種族和社會經(jīng)濟(jì)背景的人之間建立聯(lián)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(qiáng)大，我們的海外留學(xué)項目應(yīng)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(xué)中國的美國學(xué)生的數(shù)量和多樣性。而今年，在我們紀(jì)念中美兩國關(guān)系正常化三十五周年之際,美國政府實(shí)際上支持更多的美國學(xué)生在中國學(xué)習(xí)。

我們正將高中生、大學(xué)生和研究生送到這里來學(xué)習(xí)中文，我們正邀請中國老師到美國的嘗較教授普通話，我們?yōu)橄Ｍ魧W(xué)美國的中國學(xué)生提供免費(fèi)的在線咨詢。美中富布賴特項目仍在加強(qiáng)，現(xiàn)有3000多名學(xué)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(xué)模仿羅德獎學(xué)全（Rhode、Scholarship）的一個新項目。

“你不需要登上飛機(jī)才能成為公民外交官”

今天，來自不同背景的學(xué)生正在中國學(xué)習(xí)。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(xué)在上海的項目。像我一樣，羅亞爾是家里的第一代大學(xué)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(jīng)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(xué)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(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)歷時，他說：“在我們進(jìn)入公民外交的新時代之際，留學(xué)是人民間交流的一種強(qiáng)大工具。”

“一個公民外交的新時代”——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(jīng)常對美國年輕認(rèn)說的那樣，你不需要登上飛機(jī)才能成為公民外交官。我告訴他們，如果你在家里、學(xué)校或者圖書館能上網(wǎng)，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(fā)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(shí)是技術(shù)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(chuàng)新。這也是為什么信息和思想在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上、并通過媒體自由流動是如此重要。

因為那是我們發(fā)現(xiàn)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(fā)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(jìn)行辯論，傾聽各方觀點(diǎn)，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(zhì)疑和批評，而我丈夫和我位于接收端。這并非易事，但我們認(rèn)為它的重要無可取代。因為我們一次又一次地看到，當(dāng)所有公民的聲音和觀點(diǎn)都能得到傾聽之時，國家會變得更加強(qiáng)大和繁榮。

正像我的丈夫曾說過的，我們尊重其他文化和社會的獨(dú)特性。然而，就自由的表達(dá)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(quán)利。

“美國面孔”，“中國面孔”

我們相信，所有人都應(yīng)享有實(shí)現(xiàn)自己最大潛能的機(jī)會，正如我在美國所能做到的那樣。同時，當(dāng)你在中國這里以及在美國了解新的文化、結(jié)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(xué)，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(tǒng)約翰·肯尼迪談到留學(xué)美國的外國學(xué)生時說的那樣，“我想他們所教的比他們學(xué)到的還要多。”而對出國學(xué)習(xí)的年輕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(chuàng)造力、樂觀，以及對未來堅定不移的信念。每 9 一天，你們都在提醒我們，通過跨越國界，學(xué)會在彼此身上看到我們自己，和用共同的決心應(yīng)對我們共同的挑戰(zhàn)。

所以，我希望你們都會不斷尋求這樣的經(jīng)歷。我希望你們能繼續(xù)受益于彼此，互相學(xué)習(xí)，同時建立起友誼的紐帶，而這些紐帶能在未來數(shù)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！
