第一篇：奧巴馬宣布本拉登死亡演講稿及奧巴馬的開學(xué)演講(中英文)

奧巴馬宣布本拉登死亡演講稿

Good evening.Tonight I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.晚上好，今晚，我可以向美國人民和世界報告，美國實施的一項行動擊斃了基地組織頭目拉登，這名恐怖分子謀殺了數(shù)千名無辜的男人、女人和兒童。

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory.Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky, the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground, black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon, the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.十年之前，九月份陽光明媚的一天因為美國歷史上所遭受的最嚴(yán)重恐怖襲擊而黯談下來，911的景象成為我們國家記憶的一部分，被劫持飛機(jī)刺過無云的九月天空，世貿(mào)雙塔轟然倒地，五角大樓冒出股股黑煙，賓夕法尼亞州尚克斯維爾93號航班的殘骸，飛機(jī)上勇敢的公民避免了更多的心碎和破壞。

And yet, we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world, the empty seat at the dinner table, children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father, parents who would never know the feeling of their child's embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.我們知道最糟糕的景象是世界并未看到的景象：餐桌前的空椅子，兒童被迫在沒有父親或者母親的情況下長大。父母們將永遠(yuǎn)不會知道他們孩子擁抱的情感。近3000名公民在恐怖襲擊中喪生，這使我們深感悲痛。

On September 11th, 2001 in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.2011年9月11日，在我們的悲傷時刻，美國人民團(tuán)結(jié)在一起。我們向我們的鄰居伸出手，我們向傷者獻(xiàn)血。我們重申了我們之間的聯(lián)系。

On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.在那一天，不管我們來自哪里，不管我們的宗教信仰如何，或者我們是什么種族或者民族，我們是團(tuán)結(jié)的美國大家庭的一部分。

We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was

committed to killing innocence in our country and around the globe.我們在保護(hù)我們的國家、將實施這一邪惡襲擊的肇事者繩之與法方面也團(tuán)結(jié)一致。我們很快獲悉，911恐怖襲擊是基地組織所為，這個組織由拉登領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。該組織公然向美國宣戰(zhàn)，致力在美國和全世界各地殺害無辜者。And so we went to war against al Qaeda, to protect our citizens, our friends and our allies.所以我們開始了與基地組織的戰(zhàn)爭，以保護(hù)我們的公民、我們的朋友、我們的盟友。

Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we've made great strides in that effort.We've disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we've worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.在過去十年，由于我們軍人和我們反恐專業(yè)人員毫不疲倦的和勇敢的工作，我們在反恐方面取得了重大進(jìn)展。我們已挫敗了恐怖分子的襲擊，加強(qiáng)了我們的國土防御。在阿富汗，我們推翻了給拉登和基地組織庇護(hù)和支持的塔利班政府。在世界各地，我們與我們的朋友和盟國合作，抓獲或者擊斃了數(shù)十名基地組織恐怖分子，其中包括參與策劃911恐怖襲擊的數(shù)名恐怖分子。

Yet, Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat his network.不過，拉登仍然在逃，他從阿富汗邊境進(jìn)入了巴基斯坦。與此同時，基地組織仍然在巴阿邊境活動，通過其附屬組織在全球各地活動。所以，在我上任后不久，我指示中情局局長帕內(nèi)塔將擊斃或者抓獲拉登列為我們打擊基地組織的最優(yōu)先事務(wù)，即便是在我們在繼續(xù)更廣泛的努力以挫敗、清除和擊敗基地組織行動的情況下。

Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan.And finally last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring

him to justice.去年八月，在經(jīng)過我們情報部門的艱苦努力后，我得到了一個有關(guān)拉登線索的匯報。情報并不非常確鑿，花了數(shù)個月的時間來跟進(jìn)這個線索。我多次會見了我的國家安保團(tuán)隊，我們獲得了更多的情報，這些情報表明我們可能已確定拉登隱藏在巴基斯坦境內(nèi)的一個院落里。我上周決定我們已掌握了足夠的證據(jù)來采取行動，我授權(quán)采取行動抓捕拉登，將其繩之與法。

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda.今天，根據(jù)我的指令，美國發(fā)動了針對巴基斯坦阿巴特巴德一座建筑物的定點清除行動。一個美軍突擊組以無比的勇氣和能力遂行了此次突擊行動。行動中沒有美國人受傷。他們注意避免平民傷亡。經(jīng)過交火，他們擊斃了奧薩馬-本-拉登，并獲得了他的尸體。在過去20年，本-拉登一直是基地組織的頭目和標(biāo)志，對我們國家、我們的朋友和盟友陰謀發(fā)動襲擊。本-拉登被擊斃是我們國家打擊基地組織的最重大勝利。

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.然而，本-拉登被打死并不意味著我們的努力已經(jīng)終結(jié)。毫無疑問基地組織會繼續(xù)對我們發(fā)動攻擊。我們必須，我們也會在國內(nèi)外保持警惕。

I've made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam, because bin Laden was not a Muslim leader.He was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.如我們所做，我們必須再次重申美國現(xiàn)在沒有，將來也不會同伊斯蘭世界開戰(zhàn)。如同911事件后不久布什總統(tǒng)所言，我已經(jīng)澄清，我們的戰(zhàn)爭并非針對伊斯蘭世界。本-拉登不是穆斯林的領(lǐng)袖，他是穆斯林的屠殺者。事實上，基地組織在許多國家殺害了大量穆斯林，也包括我們美國。因此他的死亡會受到所有相信和平和人類尊嚴(yán)的人的歡迎。

Over the years, I have repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we've done.But it's important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.過去多年間，我反復(fù)聲明一旦知道本-拉登的藏身之地，我們將會在巴基斯坦境內(nèi)采取行動。我們就是這樣做的。同巴基斯坦的反恐合作幫助我們找到本-拉登和其藏身的處所，指出這一點是重要的。事實上，本-拉登也對巴基斯坦宣戰(zhàn)，下令對巴基斯坦人民發(fā)動襲擊。Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.今晚，我同巴基斯坦總統(tǒng)扎爾達(dá)里通了電話，我的團(tuán)隊也同巴基斯坦同仁進(jìn)行了溝通。他們同意對兩國而言，這是一個有歷史意義的好日子。巴基斯坦同我們合作共同打擊基地組織及其分支是最根本的。

The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander-in-chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who's been gravely wounded.美國人民沒有選擇這場戰(zhàn)爭，而是戰(zhàn)火燒到了我們的國家，以無情地屠殺我們的民眾為發(fā)端。經(jīng)過近十年的服務(wù)、斗爭和犧牲，我們深知戰(zhàn)爭的代價。每當(dāng)作為總司令的我簽署致喪失摯愛親人的家庭的信件時，或凝視一名重傷的軍人的雙眼時，我深深感到了為反恐所做努力的分量。

So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet, as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda's terror: Justice has been done.因此，美國人理解戰(zhàn)爭的代價。作為一個國家，我們不會容忍我們的安全受到威脅，或者我們的人民被殺害時還無所事事。我們將為保護(hù)我們的人民、朋友和盟友而不懈努力。我們將堅持所信奉的價值觀。在像今天一樣的夜晚，我們能夠向那些因基地組織恐怖活動而失去摯愛親人的家庭說一聲：正義得以伸張。Tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who have worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work or know their names, but tonight they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.今晚，我對無數(shù)的情報和反恐專業(yè)人士表示感謝，正是他們不知疲倦地工作才取得了這一重大成績。美國人民無法看到他們的工作，也不知道他們的姓名。但是今晚，他們?yōu)樗麄兊墓ぷ鞲械綕M意，為他們追求正義終有結(jié)果感到欣慰。We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they're a part of the generation that

has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我對那些開展突襲行動的人表示感謝，他們以專業(yè)、愛國和無比的勇氣成為我們國家軍人中的典范。而且他們是911之后負(fù)擔(dān)最重一代人中的成員。

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.最后，我想對那些在911事件中失去摯愛親人的家庭說，我們從沒有忘掉你們的苦痛，而且我們采取一切措施防止美國境內(nèi)發(fā)生另一起恐怖襲擊的決心從未動搖。

And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.今晚，回想911事件剛發(fā)生后，美國人民團(tuán)結(jié)一致。我知道，美國的團(tuán)結(jié)程度有時會減弱。但是今天的成就證明了美國的偉大和美國人民的決心。保衛(wèi)我們國家的安全的事業(yè)并未完結(jié)。今晚，事實再次提醒我們，美國一旦決定去做一定能做成任何事情。這也是我們的歷史所證明的，不管是人民追求繁榮發(fā)展，還是全體公民追求平等；決心在國外傳播我們的價值觀，抑或為使全世界更為安全所做的犧牲。

Let us remember that we can do these things, not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.讓我們銘記，我們能做成這些事情并不是因為我們的財富或權(quán)力，而是因為我們是上帝之下一個不可分割的國家，在這里，人人享有自由和正義。Thank you.May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.謝謝，愿上帝保佑你們，上帝保佑美國。

奧巴馬的開學(xué)演講（中英文）

Arlington, Virginia 12:06 P.M.EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)

So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you

have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that's assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do that--if you quit on school--you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what it's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have.And my life could have easily

taken a turn for the worse.But I was--I was lucky.I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams.My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story.Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University--is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer--hundreds of extra hours--to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education--and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject that you study.You won't click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.J.K.Rowling's--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that's why I succeed.”

These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows

you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?

Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down.Don't let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don't let yourself down.Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)END

弗吉尼亞州，阿林頓市，2009年9月8日

嗨，大家好！你們今天過得怎么樣？我現(xiàn)在和弗吉尼亞州阿林頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學(xué)生們在一起，全國各地也有從幼兒園到高三的眾多學(xué)生們通過電視關(guān)注這里，我很高興你們能共同分享這一時刻。

我知道，對你們中的許多人來說，今天是開學(xué)的第一天，你們中的有一些剛剛進(jìn)入幼兒園或升上初高中，對你們來說，這是在新學(xué)校的第一天，因此，假如你們感到有些緊張，那也是很正常的。我想也會有許多畢業(yè)班的學(xué)生們正自信滿滿地準(zhǔn)備最后一年的沖刺。不過，我想無論你有多大、在讀哪個年級，許多人都打心底里希望現(xiàn)在還在放暑假，以及今天不用那么

早起床。

我可以理解這份心情。小時候，我們家在印度尼西亞住過幾年，而我媽媽沒錢送我去其他美國孩子們上學(xué)的地方去讀書，因此她決定自己給我上課——時間是每周一到周五的凌晨4點半。

顯然，我不怎么喜歡那么早就爬起來，很多時候，我就這么在廚房的桌子前睡著了。每當(dāng)我埋怨的時候，我媽總會用同一副表情看著我說：“小鬼，你以為教你我就很輕松？”

所以，我可以理解你們中的許多人對于開學(xué)還需要時間來調(diào)整和適應(yīng)，但今天我站在這里，是為了和你們談一些重要的事情。我要和你們談一談你們每個人的教育，以及在新的學(xué)年里，你們應(yīng)當(dāng)做些什么。

我做過許多關(guān)于教育的講話，也常常用到“責(zé)任”這個詞。我談到過教師們有責(zé)任激勵和啟迪你們，督促你們學(xué)習(xí)。

我談到過家長們有責(zé)任看管你們認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)、完成作業(yè)，不要成天只會看電視或打游戲機(jī)。我也很多次談到過政府有責(zé)任設(shè)定高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)嚴(yán)要求、協(xié)助老師和校長們的工作，改變在有些學(xué)校里學(xué)生得不到應(yīng)有的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會的現(xiàn)狀。

但哪怕這一切都達(dá)到最好，哪怕我們有最盡職的教師、最好的家長、和最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)校，假如你們不去履行自己的責(zé)任的話，那么這一切努力都會白費。——除非你每天準(zhǔn)時去上學(xué)、除非你認(rèn)真地聽老師講課、除非你把父母、長輩和其他大人們說的話放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力，否則這一切都會失去意義。

而這就是我今天講話的主題：對于自己的教育，你們中每一個人的責(zé)任。首先，我想談?wù)勀銈儗τ谧约河惺裁簇?zé)任。

你們中的每一個人都會有自己擅長的東西，每一個人都是有用之材，而發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能是什么，就是你們要對自己擔(dān)起的責(zé)任。教育給你們提供了發(fā)現(xiàn)自己才能的機(jī)會。

或許你能寫出優(yōu)美的文字——甚至有一天能讓那些文字出現(xiàn)在書籍和報刊上——但假如不在英語課上經(jīng)常練習(xí)寫作，你不會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有這樣的天賦；或許你能成為一個發(fā)明家、創(chuàng)造家——甚至設(shè)計出像今天的iPhone一樣流行的產(chǎn)品，或研制出新的藥物與疫苗——但假如不在自然科學(xué)課程上做上幾次實驗，你不會知道自己有這樣的天賦；或許你能成為一名議員或最高法院法官，但假如你不去加入什么學(xué)生會或參加幾次辯論賽，你也不會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能。而且，我可以向你保證，不管你將來想要做什么，你都需要相應(yīng)的教育。——你想當(dāng)名醫(yī)生、當(dāng)名教師或當(dāng)名警官？你想成為護(hù)士、成為建筑設(shè)計師、律師或軍人？無論你選擇哪一種職業(yè)，良好的教育都必不可少，這世上不存在不把書念完就能拿到好工作的美夢，任何工作，都需要你的汗水、訓(xùn)練與學(xué)習(xí)。

不僅僅對于你們個人的未來有重要意義，你們的教育如何也會對這個國家、乃至世界的未來產(chǎn)生重要影響。今天你們在學(xué)校中學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容，將會決定我們整個國家在未來迎接重大挑戰(zhàn)時的表現(xiàn)。

你們需要在數(shù)理科學(xué)課程上學(xué)習(xí)的知識和技能，去治療癌癥、艾滋那樣的疾病，和解決我們面臨的能源問題與環(huán)境問題；你們需要在歷史社科課程上培養(yǎng)出的觀察力與判斷力，來減輕和消除無家可歸與貧困、犯罪問題和各種歧視，讓這個國家變得更加公平和自由；你們需要在各類課程中逐漸累積和發(fā)展出來的創(chuàng)新意識和思維，去創(chuàng)業(yè)和建立新的公司與企業(yè)，來制造就業(yè)機(jī)會和推動經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長。

我們需要你們中的每一個人都培養(yǎng)和發(fā)展自己的天賦、技能和才智，來解決我們所面對的最困難的問題。假如你不這么做——假如你放棄學(xué)習(xí)——那么你不僅是放棄了自己，也是放棄了你的國家。

當(dāng)然，我明白，讀好書并不總是件容易的事。我知道你們中的許多人在生活中面臨著各種各

樣的問題，很難把精力集中在專心讀書之上。

我知道你們的感受。我父親在我兩歲時就離開了家庭，是母親一人將我們拉扯大，有時她付不起帳單，有時我們得不到其他孩子們都有的東西，有時我會想，假如父親在該多好，有時我會感到孤獨無助，與周圍的環(huán)境格格不入。因此我并不總是能專心學(xué)習(xí)，我做過許多自己覺得丟臉的事情，也惹出過許多不該惹的麻煩，我的生活岌岌可危，隨時可能急轉(zhuǎn)直下。

但我很幸運(yùn)。我在許多事上都得到了重來的機(jī)會，我得到了去大學(xué)讀法學(xué)院、實現(xiàn)自己夢想的機(jī)會。我的妻子——現(xiàn)在得叫她第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬了——也有著相似的人生故事，她的父母都沒讀過大學(xué)，也沒有什么財產(chǎn)，但他們和她都辛勤工作，好讓她有機(jī)會去這個國家最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)校讀書。

你們中有些人可能沒有這些有利條件，或許你的生活中沒有能為你提供幫助和支持的長輩，或許你的某個家長沒有工作、經(jīng)濟(jì)拮據(jù)，或許你住的社區(qū)不那么安全，或許你認(rèn)識一些會對你產(chǎn)生不良影響的朋友，等等。

但歸根結(jié)底，你的生活狀況——你的長相、出身、經(jīng)濟(jì)條件、家庭氛圍——都不是疏忽學(xué)業(yè)和態(tài)度惡劣的借口，這些不是你去跟老師頂嘴、逃課、或是輟學(xué)的借口，這些不是你不好好讀書的借口。

你的未來，并不取決于你現(xiàn)在的生活有多好或多壞。沒有人為你編排好你的命運(yùn)，在美國，你的命運(yùn)由你自己書寫，你的未來由你自己掌握。

而在這片土地上的每個地方，千千萬萬和你一樣的年輕人正是這樣在書寫著自己的命運(yùn)。例如德克薩斯州羅馬市的賈斯敏?佩雷茲（Jazmin Perez）。剛進(jìn)學(xué)校時，她根本不會說英語，她住的地方幾乎沒人上過大學(xué)，她的父母也沒有受過高等教育，但她努力學(xué)習(xí)，取得了優(yōu)異的成績，靠獎學(xué)金進(jìn)入了布朗大學(xué)，如今正在攻讀公共衛(wèi)生專業(yè)的博士學(xué)位。

我還想起了加利福尼亞州洛斯拉圖斯市的安多尼?舒爾茲（Andoni Schultz），他從三歲起就開始與腦癌病魔做斗爭，他熬過了一次次治療與手術(shù)——其中一次影響了他的記憶，因此他得花出比常人多幾百個小時的時間來完成學(xué)業(yè)，但他從不曾落下自己的功課。這個秋天，他要開始在大學(xué)讀書了。

又比如在我的家鄉(xiāng)，伊利諾斯州芝加哥市，身為孤兒的香特爾?史蒂夫（Shantell Steve）換過多次收養(yǎng)家庭，從小在治安很差的地區(qū)長大，但她努力爭取到了在當(dāng)?shù)乇＝≌竟ぷ鞯臋C(jī)會、發(fā)起了一個讓青少年遠(yuǎn)離犯罪團(tuán)伙的項目，很快，她也將以優(yōu)異的成績從中學(xué)畢業(yè)，去大學(xué)深造。

賈斯敏、安多尼和香特爾與你們并沒有什么不同。和你們一樣，他們也在生活中遭遇各種各樣的困難與問題，但他們拒絕放棄，他們選擇為自己的教育擔(dān)起責(zé)任、給自己定下奮斗的目標(biāo)。我希望你們中的每一個人，都能做得到這些。

因此，在今天，我號召你們每一個人都為自己的教育定下一個目標(biāo)——并在之后，盡自己的一切努力去實現(xiàn)它。你的目標(biāo)可以很簡單，像是完成作業(yè)、認(rèn)真聽講或每天閱讀——或許你打算參加一些課外活動，或在社區(qū)做些志愿工作；或許你決定為那些因為長相或出身等等原因而受嘲弄或欺負(fù)的孩子做主、維護(hù)他們的權(quán)益，因為你和我一樣，認(rèn)為每個孩子都應(yīng)該能有一個安全的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境；或許你認(rèn)為該學(xué)著更好的照顧自己，來為將來的學(xué)習(xí)做準(zhǔn)備……當(dāng)然，除此之外，我希望你們都多多洗手、感到身體不舒服的時候要多在家休息，免得大家在秋冬感冒高發(fā)季節(jié)都得流感。

不管你決定做什么，我都希望你能堅持到底，希望你能真的下定決心。我知道有些時候，電視上播放的節(jié)目會讓你產(chǎn)生這樣那樣的錯覺，似乎你不需要付出多大的努力就能腰纏萬貫、功成名就——你會認(rèn)為只要會唱rap、會打籃球或參加個什么真人秀節(jié)目就能坐享其成，但現(xiàn)實是，你幾乎沒有可能走上其中任何一條道路。

因為，成功是件難事。你不可能對要讀的每門課程都興趣盎然，你不可能和每名帶課教師都相處順利，你也不可能每次都遇上看起來和現(xiàn)實生活有關(guān)的作業(yè)。而且，并不是每件事，你都能在頭一次嘗試時獲得成功。

但那沒有關(guān)系。因為在這個世界上，最最成功的人們往往也經(jīng)歷過最多的失敗。J.K.羅琳的第一本《哈利?波特》被出版商拒絕了十二次才最終出版；邁克爾?喬丹上高中時被學(xué)校的籃球隊刷了下來，在他的職業(yè)生涯里，他輸了幾百場比賽、投失過幾千次射籃，知道他是怎么說的嗎？“我一生不停地失敗、失敗再失敗，這就是我現(xiàn)在成功的原因。”

他們的成功，源于他們明白人不能讓失敗左右自己——而是要從中吸取經(jīng)驗。從失敗中，你可以明白下一次自己可以做出怎樣的改變；假如你惹了什么麻煩，那并不說明你就是個搗蛋貴，而是在提醒你，在將來要對自己有更嚴(yán)格的要求；假如你考了個低分，那并不說明你就比別人笨，而是在告訴你，自己得在學(xué)習(xí)上花更多的時間。沒有哪一個人一生出來就擅長做什么事情的，只有努力才能培養(yǎng)出技能。任何人都不是在第一次接觸一項體育運(yùn)動時就成為校隊的代表，任何人都不是在第一次唱一首歌時就找準(zhǔn)每一個音，一切都需要熟能生巧。對于學(xué)業(yè)也是一樣，你或許要反復(fù)運(yùn)算才能解出一道數(shù)學(xué)題的正確答案，你或許需要讀一段文字好幾遍才能理解它的意思，你或許得把論文改上好幾次才能符合提交的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這都是很正常的。

不要害怕提問。不要不敢向他人求助。——我每天都在這么做。求助并不是軟弱的表現(xiàn)，恰恰相反，它說明你有勇氣承認(rèn)自己的不足、并愿意去學(xué)習(xí)新的知識。所以，有不懂時，就向大人們求助吧——找個你信得過的對象，例如父母、長輩、老師、教練或輔導(dǎo)員——讓他們幫助你向目標(biāo)前進(jìn)。

你要記住，哪怕你表現(xiàn)不好、哪怕你失去信心、哪怕你覺得身邊的人都已經(jīng)放棄了你——永遠(yuǎn)不要自己放棄自己。因為當(dāng)你放棄自己的時候，你也放棄了自己的國家。美國不是一個人們遭遇困難就輕易放棄的國度，在這個國家，人們堅持到底、人們加倍努力，為了他們所熱愛的國度，每一個人都盡著自己最大的努力，不會給自己留任何余地。250年前，有一群和你們一樣的學(xué)生，他們之后奮起努力、用一場革命最終造就了這個國家；75年前，有一群和你們一樣的學(xué)生，他們之后戰(zhàn)勝了大蕭條、贏得了二戰(zhàn)；就在20年前，和你們一樣的學(xué)生們，他們后來創(chuàng)立了Google、Twitter和Facebook，改變了我們?nèi)伺c人之間溝通的方式。因此，今天我想要問你們，你們會做出什么樣的貢獻(xiàn)？你們將解決什么樣的難題？你們能發(fā)現(xiàn)什么樣的事物？

二十、五十或百年之后，假如那時的美國總統(tǒng)也來做一次開學(xué)演講的話，他會怎樣描述你們對這個國家所做的一切？

你們的家長、你們的老師和我，每一個人都在盡最大的努力，確保你們都能得到應(yīng)有的教育來回答這些問題。例如我正在努力為你們提供更安全的教室、更多的書籍、更先進(jìn)的設(shè)施與計算機(jī)。但你們也要擔(dān)起自己的責(zé)任。因此我要求你們在今年能夠認(rèn)真起來，我要求你們盡心地去做自己著手的每一件事，我要求你們每一個人都有所成就。請不要讓我們失望——不要讓你的家人、你的國家和你自己失望。你們要成為我們驕傲，我知道，你們一定可以做到。謝謝大家，上帝保佑你們，上帝保佑美國。

Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.晚上好。今天晚上，我終于能向美國人民和全世界宣布，美國指揮的一項行動已經(jīng)將基地組織的頭目，為成千上萬美國無辜的男人女人和兒童的死亡負(fù)責(zé)的奧薩馬·本·拉登擊斃。It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.當(dāng)年那個陽光明媚的九月被美國有史以來遭受的最慘重的恐怖襲擊遮蔽，這件事距今就要有十年了。911事件的情景一直留在我們?nèi)珖嗣竦挠洃浿小唤俪值娘w機(jī)劃過萬里無云的九月晴空；雙子塔轟然倒塌；五角大樓冒出濃濃黑煙；93航班上英勇的乘客們?yōu)榱送炀雀酂o辜生命采取行動讓飛機(jī)墜毀在賓夕法尼亞。

And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.然而，我們知道，最慘痛的景象是那些無法展示在世人面前的。餐桌邊空空的座位，孩子們不得不在沒有父母的環(huán)境下成長。父母們再也感受不到孩子們的擁抱。我們的身邊被奪走了將近3000個生命，在我們的心中留下巨大的空洞。

On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.2001年9月11日，在我們悲傷的時刻，美國人民團(tuán)結(jié)在一起了。我們向鄰居們伸出援手，我們向傷者捐出獻(xiàn)血，我們重新確認(rèn)了彼此之間的羈絆以及我們對社區(qū)和國家的愛。在那一天，不管我們來自何方、信仰什么宗教、屬于什么種族，我們都被緊緊聯(lián)系在了美國這個大家庭里。

We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda--an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.在保護(hù)我們的國家，給那些應(yīng)該對這起惡性攻擊負(fù)責(zé)的人以正義制裁的決心面前，我們也萬眾一心。很快我們就意識到911恐怖襲擊是由基地組織策劃的，這個組織的頭目就是奧薩馬·本·拉登，他曾經(jīng)公開對美國宣戰(zhàn)，在我們的國家和全世界都犯下了殺害無辜生命的罪行。于是，我們對基地組織開戰(zhàn)，以保護(hù)我們的市民、我們的朋友和我們的盟友們。Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.在過去的十年里，在我們的軍人和反恐專家不懈而英勇的工作下，我們?nèi)〉昧司薮蟮某尚АＮ覀兎鬯榱丝植酪u擊、加強(qiáng)了我們的國土安全。在阿富汗，我們擊退了為基地組織提供安全避難和支持的塔利班政府。在全球，我們和朋友及盟友一起或抓住或擊斃了數(shù)十名基地恐怖分子，其中包括一些911事件的始作俑者。

Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.

Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.晚上好。今天晚上，我終于能向美國人民和全世界宣布，美國指揮的一項行動已經(jīng)將基地組織的頭目奧薩馬·本·拉登擊斃，他要為成千上萬美國無辜的男人女人和兒童的死亡負(fù)責(zé)。

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.那個陽光明媚的九月被美國有史以來遭受的最慘重的恐怖襲擊遮蔽，距今就要十年了。911事件的情景一直留在全國人民的記憶中——被劫持的飛機(jī)劃過萬里無云的九月晴空；雙子塔轟然倒塌；五角大樓冒出濃濃黑煙；93航班上英勇的乘客們?yōu)榱送炀雀酂o辜生命采取行動讓飛機(jī)墜毀在賓夕法尼亞。

And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.然而，我們知道，最慘痛的景象是那些無法展示在世人面前的。餐桌邊空空的座位，孩子們不得不在沒有父母的環(huán)境下成長。父母們再也感受不到孩子們的擁抱。我們的身邊被奪走了將近3000個生命，在我們的心中留下沉痛的悲傷。

On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.2001年9月11日，在我們悲傷的時刻，美國人民團(tuán)結(jié)在一起了。我們向鄰居們伸出援手，我們向傷者捐出獻(xiàn)血，我們重新確認(rèn)了彼此之間的羈絆以及我們對社區(qū)和國家的愛。在那一天，不管我們來自何方、信仰什么宗教、屬于什么種族，我們都被緊緊聯(lián)系在了美國這個大家庭里。

Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.然而奧薩馬·本·拉登逃避了抓捕并在阿富汗和巴基斯坦邊境逃竄。同時，基地組織也繼續(xù)通過這條邊境線以及世界的分支組織運(yùn)行著。

And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.所以，在上任之后，我命令中情局局長里昂·帕內(nèi)塔把擊斃或活捉本拉登當(dāng)作我們和基地作戰(zhàn)的頭等大事，我們也仍在加強(qiáng)力量來瓦解、拆分和擊潰他的聯(lián)系網(wǎng)。

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.然后，去年八月，在情報機(jī)構(gòu)數(shù)年的辛勤工作之后，我得到本拉登的一份簡報。那時還不能確認(rèn)，我們花費了幾個月的時間來確認(rèn)這條線索，我和咱們國家安全小組的成員們不斷的會面，我們得到了更多可能性的信息，把本拉登的藏身地鎖定在了巴基斯坦很隱蔽的一個院子里。終于在上周，我決定我們已經(jīng)有了足夠的情報來采取行動，授權(quán)打擊奧薩馬·本·拉登，讓他得到正義的制裁。

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.今天，在我的指揮下，美國發(fā)動了一項對巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德的針對性打擊。一小隊美國人在超凡的勇氣和能力下執(zhí)行了這個任務(wù)，沒有美國人受傷。他們很小心的避免了平民的傷亡。在一次交火后，他們擊斃了奧薩馬·本·拉登，將他繩之以法。

For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.在過去的二十年里，本拉登作為基地組織的頭目和象征，一直在策劃對我們的國家、我們的朋友和盟友們進(jìn)行襲擊。本拉登的死標(biāo)志著我們國家在和基地組織的戰(zhàn)斗中取得了重大的成就。

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.然而，他的死并不意味著我們戰(zhàn)斗的終止。基地組織無疑會繼續(xù)尋求對我們的攻擊。我們必須——也必將——在國內(nèi)和國外保持高度警惕。

As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.同時，我們也必須重申，美國沒有也永遠(yuǎn)不會向伊斯蘭世界開展。我要清楚的表明，正如小布什總統(tǒng)在911不久后所說，我們的戰(zhàn)爭并不針對伊斯蘭世界，本拉登也不是一個穆斯林領(lǐng)袖，他是殺害穆斯林教徒的兇手。基地組織在很多國家，包括我們自己的國家內(nèi)確實屠殺了很多穆斯林教徒。所以，他的死亡應(yīng)該受到所有相信世界和平維護(hù)人的尊嚴(yán)的人們的歡迎。

Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.在過去數(shù)年，我也一直重申一旦我們確認(rèn)拉登所在，我們可能在巴基斯坦境內(nèi)采取行動，我們也是這么做的。但要特別拿出來說的一點是我們的反恐是在巴基斯坦的協(xié)作下找到本拉登和他的藏身之所的。本拉登也曾經(jīng)對巴基斯坦宣戰(zhàn)，也曾下命令攻擊巴基斯坦人民。

Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.今晚，我給巴基斯坦總統(tǒng)扎爾達(dá)里打了電話，我的小隊也和巴基斯坦相關(guān)人士通了話。今天對我們兩國來說都是具有歷史意義的好日子，在這一點上大家都達(dá)成了共識。

The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.美國人民沒有選擇戰(zhàn)爭，戰(zhàn)爭來到了我們的海岸，對我們的人民進(jìn)行無意義的屠殺。經(jīng)過近十年的服役、戰(zhàn)爭和犧牲，我們太知道戰(zhàn)爭的代價了。每當(dāng)我作為三軍統(tǒng)帥，必須要給那些失去了心愛之人以及那些遭受重大創(chuàng)傷的服役人員的家人寫信的時候，種種艱難時時刻刻都壓在我的心頭。

So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.美國人民知道戰(zhàn)爭的代價。然而作為一個國家，我們永遠(yuǎn)都不能忍受國家安全受到威脅，或者在人民被殺的時候袖手旁觀。我們會一直保護(hù)我們的居民、我們的朋友和盟友。我們會真實的面對這些代價。然后像今天這個夜晚，我們終于能對那些被基地組織奪去家人生命的家庭說：正義得到了伸張。

Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.今晚，我要感謝數(shù)不清的情報人員和反恐專家們，正是你們不知疲倦的努力才有了這項成就。美國人民看不到他們的工作，也不知道他們的名字，但是今晚，他們會對自己的工作感到滿足，他們對正義的追求得到了收獲。

We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我們感謝那些執(zhí)行這項行動的人，這是他們服務(wù)國家的職業(yè)化、愛國主義和無可匹敵的勇氣的明證。自從九月那天起，他們就成了背負(fù)最沉重負(fù)擔(dān)的一代人。

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.最后，讓我對那些在911事件中失去家人的家庭們說，我們永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記你們的損失，我們會采取任何措施來防止對我們國土的另一次襲擊，這個承諾我們也永遠(yuǎn)不會動搖。

And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.今晚，讓我們回顧一下911那天我們的團(tuán)結(jié)一心，我知道隨著時間的流逝這種感覺已經(jīng)漸漸淡去，但是今天的成就見證了我們國家的偉大和人民的堅不可摧。

The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.我們保護(hù)國家的任務(wù)還沒有完成，但是今晚，我們再次相信，美國人民可以完成任何我們下定決心完成的事情。這就是我們的歷史：不管是對人民繁榮的追求、或是對人人平等的奮斗，我們傳播我們的價值觀的承諾以及我們?yōu)榫S護(hù)世界和平所作出的犧牲。

Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.讓我們銘記，我們做這件事并不因為我們的財富或力量，而是因為我們自身：我們是在上帝之下，所有人都擁有自由和正義的不可分割的一個國家。

Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.謝謝大家，愿上帝保佑你們，上帝保佑美國。

第五篇：奧巴馬宣布本拉登死亡演講 中英文

奧巴馬歷來以卓越的演講能力著稱，自己整合了篇這次他宣布拉登之死的中英對照演講稿，來學(xué)習(xí)下吧。

愿9-11襲擊中的死難者們安息。

Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.今晚，我可以向美國民眾和全世界宣布，美國已經(jīng)完成了消滅基地組織頭目本-拉登的行動，此人是屠殺數(shù)以千計無辜男女老少的恐怖分子。

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory.Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky.The Twin Towers collapsing to the ground.Black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon.The wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.將近十年前，9月一個陽光明媚的早晨，美國民眾遭受了歷史上最嚴(yán)重的襲擊。9-11襲擊的一幕幕在我國民眾記憶中揮之不去。遭劫持的飛機(jī)劃破了9月云淡風(fēng)輕的天空；世貿(mào)中心雙子塔瞬間倒塌；黑煙從五角大樓滾滾上升；墜毀在賓夕法尼亞州尚克斯維爾的93號航班殘骸，乘客們的英勇行為避免了更多慘劇和摧毀的發(fā)生。

And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.然而我們知道，最慘痛的是那些未向全世界播出的畫面：餐桌旁空空如也的椅子；失去父母的兒童們；再也無法體會孩子擁抱的父母們。將近3000名市民離開了我們，同時在我們心中留下巨大空洞。

On September 11th, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other and our love of community and country.2001年9月11日，在我們這個悲痛的時刻，全體美國人走到了一起。我們向鄰居們伸出援手，為受傷者獻(xiàn)血。我們相互之間的關(guān)系更加牢固，我們對社區(qū)和國家的愛更加濃烈。

On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.We were also united in our resolve, to protect our nation and to — to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.在那一天，不管我們來自何處、不管我們向哪一位神靈祈禱，也無論我們的種族如何，我們都團(tuán)結(jié)在一起，整個美國就像一個大家庭。我們有著共同的決心，即矢志保衛(wèi)我們的國家，并把那些發(fā)動了這場邪惡襲擊的人繩之以法。

We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda, to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.我們很快查明，發(fā)動9-11襲擊的是基地組織，該組織以奧薩馬-本-拉登為首，他們早已公開對美國宣戰(zhàn)，并在我們國家和全球其他地方殺害無辜人民。為了保護(hù)我們的公民、我們的朋友以及我們的盟友，我們展開了針對基地組織的戰(zhàn)爭。

Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.過去十年以來，得益于我們軍隊和專業(yè)反恐人員不知疲倦的英勇工作，我們在打擊基地組織方面取得了巨大進(jìn)展。我們挫敗了多起恐怖襲擊，強(qiáng)化了本土安全。

In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.在阿富汗，我們推翻了向本-拉登和基地組織提供庇護(hù)傘和支持的塔利班政府。在世界范圍內(nèi)，我們與友邦盟國共同合作逮捕或者擊斃大量的基地組織恐怖分子，包括那些參與9-11襲擊的。

Yet, Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.但是奧薩馬-本-拉登逃脫了追捕，從阿富汗邊境潛逃進(jìn)入巴基斯坦。與此同時，基地組織繼續(xù)在阿巴邊境地區(qū)以及通過其分支機(jī)構(gòu)在全球地區(qū)活動。

And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda.Even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat his network.我就任美國總統(tǒng)后不久，就曾命令中央情報局局長萊昂-帕內(nèi)塔把擊斃或者抓捕本-拉丹作為打擊基地組織戰(zhàn)爭的首要任務(wù)。我們也加強(qiáng)努力破壞、分解和打擊拉丹的恐怖網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain.And it took many months to run this thread to ground.去年八月，在我們的情報部門歷經(jīng)數(shù)年的艱苦工作之后，我獲悉已經(jīng)有了本-拉丹的線索，盡管那時還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)無法確定。我們花費了數(shù)月才得以順藤摸瓜。

I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan.And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.我多次同國家安全人員會談，也有更多信息鎖定本-拉登就藏在巴基斯坦的一座建筑內(nèi)。終于在上周，在我們有了充分的情報之后，我下令對奧薩馬-本-拉登采取行動，將他繩之以法。

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abad Abad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.今天，在我的指示下，美軍對巴基斯坦阿巴德的一處目標(biāo)實施了有針對性的行動。本次行動的執(zhí)行者是一小隊有著非凡勇氣和能力的美國士兵，并沒有造成任何美國人傷亡。雙方交火后，美國士兵打死了奧薩馬-本-拉登，并且掌握了本-拉登的尸體。

For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.在過去的二十年里，本-拉登一直是基地組織的頭目和象征，并且不斷地策劃針對我們國家、朋友和盟友的襲擊。本-拉登之死是我們在打擊基地組織的努力中，迄今為止取得的最為重要的成就。

And his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.I’ve made clear just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11 that our war is not against Islam.Bin laden was not a Muslim leader.He was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries including our own.本-拉登的死并不意味著我們工作的結(jié)束。毫無疑問，基地組織將會繼續(xù)對我們實施攻擊。因此，我們必須并且繼續(xù)對國內(nèi)外的情況保持警惕。

如我們做的那樣，我們還必須重申美國沒有也絕對不會對伊斯蘭發(fā)動戰(zhàn)爭。正如小布什總統(tǒng)在9-11事件之后所明確表示的，我們的戰(zhàn)爭并非針對伊斯蘭。本-拉登并非一個穆斯林領(lǐng)袖，相反，他屠殺了大量的穆斯林人民。事實上，基地組織在包括美國在內(nèi)的很多國家都屠殺了許多穆斯林。

So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.所有愛好和平并相信人之尊嚴(yán)者都會為他的死而歡欣鼓舞。在過去的數(shù)年里，我一再重申，如果我們確認(rèn)本拉丹在巴基斯坦境內(nèi)棲身，我們將采取行動。我們這次就是這么做的。

But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.這里我們必須指出同巴基斯坦在反恐上的合作在這次行動中幫助我們找到并確認(rèn)了本-拉登的藏身之所。事實上，本-拉登早已對巴基斯坦宣戰(zhàn)并且命令采取行動襲擊巴基斯坦人民。

Tonight I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander in chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.今晚我已經(jīng)同扎爾達(dá)里總統(tǒng)通了電話，同時我的同事也與巴基斯坦方面的相應(yīng)官員進(jìn)行了交流。我們一致認(rèn)為今天對美巴兩國人民來說都是一個值得紀(jì)念的日子。雙方都同意未來巴基斯坦還將同美國一起展開針對基地組織及其分支機(jī)構(gòu)的行動。美國人民并不想要這場戰(zhàn)爭，這一切都源于一場對美國本土無辜平民的無端殘殺。10年的斗爭和犧牲，使我們深切體會到這場戰(zhàn)爭的代價。作為美國三軍統(tǒng)帥，每次在給陣亡士兵家人的信上簽名，每次看到被重傷軍人的眼睛，我都感到沉重的壓力。

So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror, justice has been done.美國人民清楚戰(zhàn)爭必然會有傷亡，知道戰(zhàn)爭必然要我們付出代價。但是作為一個國家，我們更是絕對不能容忍有人威脅我們的安全，也不能看著我們的人民被殺害還坐視不管。我們將堅持不懈地保護(hù)美國公民、朋友和盟友。我們將永遠(yuǎn)堅持那些我們所認(rèn)可的價值。這個晚上，讓我們對那些因基地恐怖分子而失去親人至愛的家庭說，正義終于得到了伸張。

Tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work nor know their names, but tonight they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我們要感謝那些情報和反恐界的專業(yè)人士，正是他們孜孜不倦的工作才促成了今天的勝利。美國人民看不到他們的工作，也不知道他們的名字。但是在這個晚上，這些人能夠真切地感受到付出得到回報、正義得以伸張的滿足。.我們還要感謝那些參與了這次行動的軍人，他們是所有為國盡忠的士兵們的代表，展現(xiàn)出了專業(yè)、愛國和無可比擬的勇氣。他們在9-11之后承擔(dān)了最重的責(zé)任。

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11, that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.最后，我還要對那些在9-11恐怖襲擊中失去至親至愛的家庭說，我們從來沒有忘記過你們的損失，我們也從來沒有動搖所做出的承諾，那就是竭盡全力讓國家免遭新的襲擊。這個夜晚，讓我們重新回顧在9-11襲擊發(fā)生后美國上下緊密團(tuán)結(jié)的情景，我知道那種團(tuán)結(jié)在有些時候已經(jīng)淡化。但是今天的成就證明了美國的偉大和美國人的決心。

The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history.Whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.請記住，保衛(wèi)我們國家的事業(yè)并沒有終結(jié)。但是今天我們再次印證只要美國下定決心，這個國家想做的事情就一定能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)。這是我們國家的歷史：不管是為了人民的繁榮還是國民的平等，我們對全球傳遞美國價值觀的承諾不變，我們?yōu)槭澜绨踩珜幵缸晕覡奚某兄Z不變。

Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.我們要牢記，做這些并僅是為了財富或者權(quán)勢，而是因為我們生來如此，我們生來要為所有人爭取自由和公正。

Thank you.May God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.感謝你們，上帝保佑大家，上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。
