第一篇:奧巴馬演講稿
MR.OBAMA: Thank you.Thank you so much.Vice President Biden, Mr.Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:
謝謝,非常感謝大家。拜登副總統、首席大法官先生、國會議員們、尊敬的各位嘉賓、親愛的公民們。
Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution.We affirm the promise of our democracy.We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:
每一次我們集會慶祝總統就職都是在見證美國憲法的持久力量。我們都是在肯定美國民主的承諾。我們重申,將這個國家緊密聯系在一起的不是我們的膚色,也不是 我們信仰的教條,更不是我們名字的來源。讓我們與眾不同,讓我們成為美國人的是我們對于一種理念的恪守。200多年前,這一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰闡述: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
“我們認為下述真理是不言而喻的,人人生而平等。造物主賦予他們若干不可剝奪的權利,包括生存、自由和追求幸福的權利。”
Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time.For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing;that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth.The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob.They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.今天,我們繼續著這一未竟的征程,架起這些理念與我們時代現實之間的橋梁。因為歷史告訴我們,即便這些真理是不言而喻的,它們也從來不會自動生效。因為雖然自由是上帝賦予的禮物,但仍需要世間的子民去捍衛。1776年,美國的愛國先
驅們不是只為了推翻國王的暴政而戰,也不是為贏得少數人的特權,建立暴民的統治。先驅們留給我們一個共和國,一個民有、民治、民享的政府。他們委托每一代美國人捍衛我們的建國信條。
For more than two hundred years, we have.在過去的200多年里,我們做到了。
Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free.We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.從奴役的血腥枷鎖和刀劍的血光廝殺中我們懂得了,建立在自由與平等原則之上的聯邦不能永遠維持半奴隸和半自由的狀態。我們贏得了新生,誓言共同前進。
Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce;schools and colleges to train our workers。
我們共同努力,建立起現代的經濟體系。架設鐵路與高速公路,加速了旅行和商業交流。建立學校與大學,培訓我們的工人。
Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.我們一起發現,自由市場的繁榮只能建立在保障競爭與公平競爭的原則之上。
Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.我們共同決定讓這個偉大的國家遠離危險,保護她的人民不受生命威脅和不幸的侵擾。
Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central
authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone.Our celebration of initiative and enterprise;our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.一路走來,我們從未放棄對集權的質疑。我們同樣不屈服于這一謊言:一切的社會弊端都能夠只靠政府來解決。我們對積極向上與奮發進取的贊揚,我們對努力工作與個人責任的堅持,這些都是美國精神的基本要義。
But we have always understood that when times change, so must we;that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges;that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.For the American people can no more meet the
demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias.No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores.Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people.我們也理解,時代在變化,我們同樣需要變革。對建國精神的忠誠,需要我們肩負起新的責任,迎接新的挑戰。保護我們的個人自由,最終需要所有人的共同努力。因為美國人不能再獨力迎接當今世界的挑戰,正如美國士兵們不能再像先輩一樣,用步槍和民兵同敵人(法西斯主義與共產主義)作戰。一個人無法培訓所有的數學 與科學老師,我們需要他們為了未來去教育孩子們。一個人無法建設道路、鋪設網絡、建立實驗室來為國內帶來新的工作崗位和商業機會。現在,與以往任何時候相比,我們都更需要團結合作。作為一個國家,一個民族團結起來。
This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience.A decade of war is now ending.An economic recovery has begun.America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive;diversity and openness;an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention.My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.這一代美國人經歷了危機的考驗,經濟危機堅定了我們的決心,證明了我們的恢復力。長達十年的戰爭正在結束,經濟的復蘇已經開始。美國的可能性是無限的,因為我們擁有當今沒有邊界的世界所需要的所有品質:年輕與活力、多樣性與開放、無窮的冒險精神以及創造的天賦才能。我親愛的同胞們,我們正是為此刻而生,我們更要在此刻團結一致,抓住當下的機會。
For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.We
believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class.We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work;when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship.We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an
American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.因為我們,美國人民,清楚如果只有不斷萎縮的少數人群體獲得成功,而大多數人不能成功,我們的國家就無法成功。我們相信,美國的繁榮必須建立在不斷上升的中產階級的寬闊臂膀之上,我們知道美國的繁榮只有這樣才能實現。只有當每個人都能找到工作中的自立與自豪時才能實現。只有當誠實勞動獲得的薪水足夠讓家庭 擺脫困苦的懸崖時才能實現。我們忠誠于我們的事業,保證讓一個出生于最貧窮環境中的小女孩都能知道,她有同其他所有人一樣的成功機會。因為她是一個美國人,她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不僅由上帝來見證,更由我們親手保護。We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time.We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher.But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American.That is what this moment requires.That is what will give real meaning to our creed.我們知道,我們已然陳舊的程序不足以滿足時代的需要。我們必須應用新理念和新技術重塑我們的政府,改進我們的稅法,改革我們的學校,讓我們的公民擁有他們所需要的技能,更加努力地工作,學更多的知識,向更高處發展。這意味著變革,我們的目標是:國家可以獎勵每個美國人的努力和果斷。這是現在需要的。這將給我們的信條賦予真正的意義。
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity.We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit.But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this
country and investing in the generation that will build its future.For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn.We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm.The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative;they strengthen us.They do not make us a nation of takers;they free us to take the risks that make this country great.我們,人民,仍然認為,每個公民都應當獲得基本的安全和尊嚴。我們必須做出艱難抉擇,降低醫療成本,縮減赤字規模。但我們拒絕在照顧建設國家的這一代和投 資即將建設國家的下一代間做出選擇。因為我們記得過去的教訓:老年人的夕陽時光在貧困中度過,家有殘障兒童的父母無處求助。我們相信,在這個國家,自由不只是那些幸運兒的專屬,或者說幸福只屬于少數人。我們知道,不管我們怎樣負責任地生活,我們任何人在任何時候都可能面臨失業、突發疾病或住房被可怕的颶風摧毀的風險。我們通過醫療保險、聯邦醫療補助計劃、社會保障項目向每個人做出承諾,這些不會讓我們的創造力衰竭,而是會讓我們更強大。這些不會讓我們成為充滿不勞而獲者的國度,這些讓我們敢于承擔風險,讓國家偉大。

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.你們的家人、你們的老師和我正在竭盡全力保證你們接受必要的教育,以便回答上述問題。我正在努力工作,以便你們的教室得到修繕,你們能夠得到學習所需的課本、設備和電腦。但你們也必須盡自己的努力。因此,我希望你們大家從今年起認真對待這個問題。我希望你們盡最大努力做好每一件事。我希望你們每個人都有出色的表現。不要讓我們失望。不要讓你們的家人或你們的國家失望。而最重要的是,不要辜負你們自己,而要讓我們都能[為你們]感到驕傲。

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.VhH3{P#^%m5 V0&}&NU

Prepared Remarks of President
Barack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, August 13, 2011
On Thursday, I visited a new, high-tech factory in Michigan where workers are helping America lead the way in a growing clean energy industry.They were proud of their work, and they should be.They’re not just showing us a path out of the worst recession in generations – they’re proving that this is still a country where we make things;where new ideas take root and grow;where the best universities, most creative entrepreneurs, and most dynamic businesses in the world call home.They’re proving that even in difficult times, there’s not a country on Earth that wouldn’t trade places with us.That doesn’t mean we don’t face some very tough economic challenges.Many Americans are hurting badly right now.Many have been unemployed for too long.Putting these men and women back to work, and growing wages for everyone, has got to be our top priority.But lately, the response from Washington has been partisanship and gridlock that’s only undermined public confidence and hindered our efforts to grow the economy.So while there’s nothing wrong with our country, there is something wrong with our politics, and that’s what we’ve got to fix.Because we know there are things Congress can do, right now, to get more money back in your pockets, get this economy growing faster, and get our friends and neighbors back to work.The payroll tax cut that put $1,000 back in the average family’s pocket this year? Let’s extend it.Construction workers who’ve been jobless since the housing boom went bust? Let’s put them back to work rebuilding America.Let’s cut red tape in the patent process so entrepreneurs can get good ideas to market more quickly.Let’s finish trade deals so we can sell more American-made goods around the world.Let’s connect the hundreds of thousands of brave Americans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan to businesses that need their incredible skills and talents.These are all things we can do right now.So let’s do them.And over the coming weeks, I’ll put forward more proposals to help our businesses hire and create jobs, and won’t stop until every American who wants a job can find one.But we can no longer let partisan brinksmanship get in our way – the idea that making it through the next election is more important than making things right.That’s what’s holding us back – the fact that some in Congress would rather see their opponents lose than see America win.So you’ve got a right to be frustrated.I am.Because you deserve better.And I don’t think it’s too much for you to expect that the people you send to this town start delivering.Members of Congress are at home in their districts right now.And if you agree with me – whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican or not much of a fan of either – let them know.If you’ve had it with gridlock, and you want them to pass stalled bills that will help our economy right now – let them know.If you refuse to settle for a politics where scoring points is more important than solving problems;if you believe it’s time to put country before party and the interests of our children before our own – let them know.And maybe they’ll get back to Washington ready to compromise, ready to create jobs, ready to get our fiscal house in order – ready to do what you sent them to do.Yes, we’ve still got a long way to go to get to where we need to be.We didn’t get into this mess overnight, and it’s going to take time to get out of it.That’s a hard truth – but it’s no excuse for inaction.After all, America voted for divided government, not dysfunctional government, and we’ve got work to do.And when we come together and find common ground, there’s no stopping this country.There’s no stopping our people.There’s no holding us back.And there is every reason to believe we’ll get through this storm to a brighter day.Thanks for listening, and have a great weekend.
第五篇:奧巴馬演講稿
Happy New Year, everybody.I am fired up for the year that stretches out before us.That’s because of what we’ve accomplished together over the past seven.Seven years ago, our businesses were losing 800,000 jobs a month.They’ve now created jobs for 69 straight months, driving the unemployment rate from a high of 10% down to 5%.Seven years ago, too many Americans went without health insurance.We’ve now covered more than 17 million people, dropping the rate of the uninsured below 10% for the very first time.Seven years ago, we were addicted to foreign oil.Now our oil imports have plummeted, our clean energy industry is booming, and America is a global leader in the fight against climate change.Seven years ago, there were only two states in America with marriage equality.And now there are 50.All of this progress is because of you.And we’ve got so much more to do.So my New Year’s resolution is to move forward on our unfinished business as much as I can.And I’ll be more frequently asking for your help.That’s what this American project is all about.That's especially true for one piece of unfinished business, that’s our epidemic of gun violence.Last month, we remembered the third anniversary of Newtown.This Friday, I’ll be thinking about my friend Gabby Giffords, five years into her recovery from the shooting in Tucson.And all across America, survivors of gun violence and those who lost a child, a parent, a spouse to gun violence are forced to mark such awful anniversaries every single day.And yet Congress still hasn’t done anything to prevent what happened to them from happening to other families.Three years ago, a bipartisan, commonsense bill would have required background checks for virtually everyone who buys a gun.Keep in mind, this policy was supported by some 90% of the American people.It was supported by a majority of NRA households.But the gun lobby mobilized against it.And the Senate blocked it.Since then, tens of thousands of our fellow Americans have been mowed down by gun violence.Tens of thousands.Each time, we’re told that commonsense reforms like background checks might not have stopped the last massacre, or the one before that, so we shouldn’t do anything.We know that we can’t stop every act of violence.But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something – anything – to protect our kids from gun violence?
A few months ago, I directed my team at the White House to look into any new actions I can take to help reduce gun violence.And on Monday, I’ll meet with our Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, to discuss our options.Because I get too many letters from parents, and teachers, and kids, to sit around and do nothing.I get letters from responsible gun owners who grieve with us every time these tragedies happen;who share my belief that the Second Amendment guarantees a right to bear arms;and who share my belief we can protect that right while keeping an irresponsible, dangerous few from inflicting harm on a massive scale.新年快樂。我今年的了,在我們面前伸出。這是因為我們在過去七一起完成。
七年前,我們的企業是一個月失去800000個工作崗位。他們已經連續69個月創造就業機會,推動失業率從10%降至5%。七年前,太多的美國人沒有醫療保險。現在我們已經覆蓋了超過1700萬人,下降的速度沒有保險的人第一次低于10%。七年前,我們沉迷于外國石油。現在我們的石油進口大幅下降,我們的清潔能源產業蓬勃發展,美國是一個全球對抗氣候變化的領導者。
七年前,只有兩個州在美國婚姻平等。現在有50。
所有這一切是因為你進步。我們有很多要做。所以我的新年決心是推進我們的未竟事業盡我所能。,我就會更頻繁地要求你的幫助。這就是美國項目。
特別是未竟事業的一部分,這是我們的槍支暴力的流行。上個月,我們想起了新城的第三個紀念日。這個星期五,我都會想到我的朋友加貝·吉福茲,五年進她的復蘇在圖森槍擊事件。和整個美國,槍支暴力的幸存者和那些失去一個孩子,父母,配偶槍支暴力被迫馬克每天都這樣可怕的紀念日。然而,國會還沒有做任何事情來阻止它們發生其他家庭發生了什么事。三年前,一個兩黨,常識法案需要背景調查幾乎每個人買了一把槍。記住,這一政策被大約90%的美國人支持。這是得到大多數NRA家庭的支持。但槍支游說團體動員反對它。和參議院阻止它。
從那以后,成千上萬的美國人被槍支暴力撂倒了。成千上萬。每一次,我們被告知,常識改革像背景調查可能沒有停止過去的屠殺,或者一個在此之前,所以我們不應該做任何事情。我們知道我們不能停止所有暴力的行為。但是如果我們甚至試圖阻止一個呢?如果國會所做的——任何東西——從槍支暴力來保護我們的孩子嗎? 幾個月前,我要求我的團隊在白宮看著我可以采取任何新的行動來減少槍支暴力。周一,我將會見我們的總檢察長,洛雷塔(merrill Lynch),討論我們的選擇。因為我從父母得到太多的字母,老師,和孩子們,無所事事。我得到負責任的槍支擁有者的來信與我們每一次悲傷這些悲劇發生,誰分享我認為憲法第二修正案保證了持槍權;誰分享我的信念我們可以保護,同時保持一個不負責任的,危險的一些大規模從造成傷害。
