第一篇：奧巴馬紐鎮槍擊案一周年演講稿

one year ago today, a quiet, peaceful town was shattered by unspeakable tviolence.Six dedicated school workers and 20 beautiful children were taken from our lives forever.As parents, as Americans, the news filled us with grief.Newtown is a town like so many of our hometowns.The victims were

educators and kids that could have been any of our own.And our hearts were broken for the families that lost a piece of their heart;for the communities changed forever;for the survivors, so young, whose innocence was torn away far too soon.But beneath the sadness, we also felt a sense of resolve – that these tragedies must end, and that to end them, we must change.From the very beginning, our efforts were led by the parents of Newtown – men and women, impossibly brave, who stepped

forward in the hopes that they might spare others their heartbreak.And they were joined by millions of Americans – mothers and fathers;sisters and brothers – who refused to accept these acts of violence as somehow inevitable.Over the past year, their voices have sustained us.And their example has inspired us – to be better parents and better

neighbors;to give our children everything they need to face the world without fear;to meet our responsibilities not just to our own

families, but to our communities.More than the tragedy itself, that's how Newtown will be remembered.And on this anniversary of a day we will never forget, that's the example we should continue to follow.Because we haven't yet done enough to make our communities and our country safer.We have to do more to keep dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun so easily.We have to do more to heal troubled minds.We have to do everything we can to protect our children from harm and make them feel loved, and valued, and cared for.And as we do, we can't lose sight of the fact that real change won't come from Washington.It will come the way it's always come – from you.From the American people.As a nation, we can't stop every act of violence.We can't heal every troubled mind.But if we want to live in a country where we can go to work, send our kids to school, and walk our streets free from fear, we have to keep trying.We have to keep caring.We have to treat every child like they're our child.Like those in Sandy Hook, we must choose love.And together, we must make a change.Thank you.

奧巴馬康涅狄格州小學槍擊案講話英文演講稿

THE PRESIDENT:This afternoon, I spoke with Governor Malloy and FBI Director Mueller.I offered Governor Malloy my condolences on behalf of the nation, and made it clear he will have every single resource that he needs to investigate this heinous crime, care for the victims, counsel their families.We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years.And each time I learn the news I react not as a President, but as anybody else would--as a parent.And that was especially true today.I know there’s not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.The majority of those who died today were children--beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.They had their entire lives ahead of them--birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own.Among the fallen were also teachers--men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.So our hearts are broken today--for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost.Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early, and there are no words that will ease their pain.As a country, we have been through this too many times.Whether it’s an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago--these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children.And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.This evening, Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do, which is hug our children a little tighter and we’ll tell them that we love them, and we’ll remind each other how deeply we love one another.But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight.And they need all of us right now.In the hard days to come, that community needs us to be at our best as Americans.And I will do everything in my power as President to help.Because while nothing can fill the space of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need--to remind them that we are there for them, that we are praying for them, that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their memories but also in ours.May God bless the memory of the victims and, in the words of Scripture, heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.

第四篇：奧巴馬圖森槍擊案療傷演講辭

奧巴馬圖森槍擊案療傷演講辭

美國總統奧巴馬12日在亞利桑那大學的槍擊案受害人悼念儀式上發表了充滿感情的講話，號召全國人民團結在一起，稱不能讓悲劇再導致更深的分裂。當奧巴馬向聽眾宣布腦部嚴重受傷的女議員吉福茲已經第一次睜開眼睛時，全場爆發出巨大的掌聲。

奧巴馬試圖平息槍擊案所引起的政治風暴，奧巴馬稱：“事實是沒人確切知道是什么引起了這次慘烈的襲擊，沒人確切知道什么可以避免子彈射出，沒人知道一個暴力、瘋狂的人的思想深處到底有什么。”

[演講全文摘選]

每一個遇害者，奧巴馬都能說出他們的故事

那些失去親人的家庭，那些遇難者的朋友們，這所大學的同學們，以及今晚聚在這里的公仆，還有圖森市乃至亞利桑那州的人們：

今晚，我來到這里，作為一個美國人，和你們一樣祈禱，也將會與你們站到一起，直到明天。

我難以用言語撫平你們心中突然的被撕裂的傷痛，但我知道：今晚，我們國家的希望在這里。我們與你們一同為倒下的人哀悼。我們和你們同樣感到悲傷。而且我們將和你們一樣相信，加布麗埃勒吉福茲議員，以及其他活著的槍案受害者們，能夠渡過難關。

在上周六的早上，蓋比（吉福茲的昵稱）、她的同事以及很多她的選民聚集在一家超市外面，行使他們和平集會、自由演講的權利。他們踐行著民主的中心信條，那是我們的國家創立者立下的——代表人民，把他們的關切帶到國家的首都。蓋比將這稱為“家旁邊的國會”——如同一個不斷更新的政府，創立于人民，依靠人民，為了人民。

那樣一個典型的美國情景，卻被一個槍手的子彈擊碎。6人在周六失去了生命——他們同樣代表著美國最好的東西。

約翰M羅爾，亞利桑那州聯邦法官，為我們的司法系統服務了近40年，也是這所學校的畢業生。他的同事描述他是第九區“最勤勞的法官”。當他路過打算向吉福茲打招呼時，遭遇了槍案。約翰依然活在他摯愛的妻子莫林、三個兒子及五個孫輩的心里。

喬治莫里斯與妻子多蘿西（Dorothy）——朋友們叫她“Dot”，高中時代便是甜蜜的一對，有兩個女兒。他們總是形影不離，一起逛街，一起度過鄰居們所說的“50年的蜜月”。周六早上，他們想傾聽吉福茲會說些什么，突然就發生了槍案。喬治出于本能地護著他的妻子，卻雙雙中槍，多蘿西遇難。

新澤西人菲莉絲舍克退休后來到圖森市，不過在夏天，她會回到東部，那里她的3個子女、7個孫輩以及2歲的曾孫女兒環繞她的周圍。作為一個有天賦的裁縫，她常常在自己最喜歡的樹下工作。作為共和黨人，她對蓋比很有好感，想更好地了解她，參加了活動。多溫和瑪薇斯托達德一起在圖森市長大——大約七十年前的事了。他們分開后各自有了令人尊敬的家庭。在各自喪失老伴之后，他們重新開始，就像瑪薇的女兒們說的，“重新再談男女朋友”。時常有人看到他們在逛街時幫助朋友。多溫是名建筑工人，退休后業余時間修補教堂，他做的最后一件無私壯舉就是，中槍后撲倒他的妻子，犧牲自己的生命掩護妻子。加貝齊默爾曼做的每件事總是帶著熱情——熱心為他人幫忙。作為蓋比的活動負責人，他處處為蓋比的數千選民著想：老年人能享受他們掙得的醫保，老兵們得到他們應得的勛章及照顧，政府是為普通人工作。他在做自己最愛的事——與人們交談找出可以幫上什么忙——的時候遇難。他依然活在他的父母羅斯與艾米麗、他的兄弟本以及他未婚妻凱莉的心里，他們倆原計劃下一年結婚。

接下來是9歲的克里斯蒂娜－泰勒格林。克里斯蒂娜是一個常拿A的學生，一個舞蹈能手，一個體操隊員，同時也是游泳者。她常常在自己的體育團隊里宣告，要當女孩里的第一名。她所在的少年棒球聯盟中，她是唯一的女孩，沒有人能超過她。她常常向往自己在這個年齡段的女孩中，能夠擁有不尋常的生活。而且她常常提醒媽媽，“我們是如此幸福，我們有著最好的生活。”為了回報這種幸福，她參加了一個慈善團體，幫助那些沒有那么幸運的孩子。

每一個英勇行為，奧巴馬都在演講中細說

我們的心因為他們的突然離去而受傷，我們的心碎了，然而，我們的心同樣也有理由完滿。

我們的心充滿著對13名槍擊案幸存者的希望與感激，包括很多人周六希望見到的這名國會女議員。我剛剛從亞利桑那大學醫務中心趕來，距離這里只有1英里。在那里，我們的朋友蓋比勇敢地努力恢復。吉福茲睜眼了，所以我可以告訴你們——她知道我們在這里，她知道我們愛她，她知道在這段注定艱辛的歷程中，我們一直努力為她加油。

同樣，我們的心充滿著對那些救人者的感激。我們感謝丹尼爾赫爾南德斯，蓋比辦公室的一名志愿者，他在混亂中沖上來照顧他的上司，照料受傷的她讓她能活下來。我們感謝在槍手換子彈時扭倒他的男士們。我們感謝一位61歲的小個子婦女帕特里克邁施，她奪走槍手的彈匣，無疑挽救了更多人的生命。同時我們感謝那些創造奇跡治療傷者的醫生護士們。英雄們不只是出現在戰場上，英雄的造就也不需要經過特殊訓練。英雄就在我們身旁，在我們千萬民眾的心中，正如周六早上逝去的人們。

他們無私的行為給我們帶來了沉思。除了為他們祈禱和關懷，我們需要做的更深層的是什么？我們怎樣紀念這些逝去的人？我們怎樣用自己的真誠來面對他們？

當這樣的悲劇發生，我們本能的想找出事情的原因，試圖讓混亂的形勢恢復正常，試圖在給一切賦予意義。現在，針對此次事件，全國性的討論正在開展，討論不單單是關于這些殺戮背后的動機，還有更多的是關于槍支安全的管理和心理健康系統的完善。這樣的過程，大多是為了探討如何防范類似事件的發生，也是我們對自我約束的一種操練。

當有些演說走向極端，當我們一味的將世界傷痛的責任怪罪于那些與我們想法不同的人時，不妨先停一停，思量斟酌，以確認我們的談話過程是在消除那些病痛，而不是造成更多的互相傷害。

需要怎樣的反思：利用此次機會，悉心聆聽他人

然而，到目前為止，我們沒有人知道悲劇發生的原因，也沒有人確切地知道我們怎樣做才能阻止悲劇發生，也不了解那些暴力的人到底是有著怎樣的想法。

是的，我們必須對這次慘劇進行全面的反思。面對這樣的暴力事件我們不能被動。我們要勇于挑戰那些舊的設想，從而減少類似事件在未來發生。

我們不能重蹈覆轍。我們需要一顆謙虛的心來討論這個問題，與其指責他人，不如利用此次機會，讓心中的道德延伸，悉心聆聽他人，加深我們的憐憫之心，告訴自己，我們所有人的希望和夢想都是緊緊聯系在一起。

如果這次悲劇能夠引發我們的思考和討論，那么，我們確定：失去的生命和付出的代價有其重要價值。

逝去的杰出生命，足以激勵我們每一個人在各自生活中力爭做得更好——成為更好的朋友、更好的鄰居、更好的同事、更好的父母。假如他們的離去預示著一個更尚禮節的社會的到來，那么，讓我們銘記：并非因為禮節的缺失才導致悲劇的發生，而是因為更加文明、誠實的公共話語能幫助我們以國家的姿態來面對挑戰。這足以讓我們為之自豪！他們的離去，若能使社會更有禮貌，是因為我們都希望能做到像吉福茲和約翰羅爾等公職人員之模范那

樣，深深明白地“我們都是美國人”；是因為我們明白：可以質疑別人的想法，卻絕不應質疑他人的愛國熱忱；是因為我們明白：團結在一起工作的目的，在于要不斷拓寬我們的關注對象，把“美國夢”傳承給我們的子孫后代。

我深信我們將做得更好！逝去者和幸存者都使我更加堅定！也許我們不能阻礙世間所有罪惡，但我知道：我們完全能決定如何對待他人。我堅信，盡管還有各種不完美，但我們仍充滿尊嚴和善良；我堅信，把我們團結在一起的力量，總是會大于分開我們的力量！

設想：若有一個小孩，她剛剛具有民主意識，開始理解公民義務，明白某天她也可以成為塑造國家未來的一份子；然后，她加入學生會，視公務服務充滿希望而令人振奮；最后，她成為國會議員，成為她一直堅信的正確且重要，并以之為榜樣的角色。她以兒童的眼光看清未來的道路，而不為憤世嫉俗的情緒和成人習以為常的雜念侵蝕。我希望我們滿足這個女孩的期待。我希望我們的民主社會能如她設想的那般美好。我們所有人，應該竭盡所能，讓我們的國家不負后代之期望。

愿上帝保佑逝去者永享安寧與和平！愿上帝熱愛并關注那些幸存者！愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國！

第五篇：奧巴馬就康州槍擊案發表講話

奧巴馬就康州槍擊案發表講話

今天下午我跟Malloy州長和FBI局長Mueller談過

So our hearts are broken today 是為了這些孩子的父母祖父母們 for the parents and grandparents, 為了他們的兄弟姐妹們

sisters and brothers of these little children.為了那些喪生的大人們

and for the families of the adults who were lost.我們的心痛同樣獻給幸存者的家長 Our hearts are broken for the parents 雖然他們孩子今日得以幸免 能平安回家

for , as blessed as they are to have 但他們知道 孩子的純真已被過早奪去

they know that their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early, 沒有什么言語能夠撫平他們的傷痛 and there are no words that will ease their pain.我們國家經歷國太多類似案板

As a country , we have been through this too many times, 不論是牛頓的小學

whether it’s an elementary school in Newtown 俄勒岡的商場

or a shopping mall in Oregon 維斯康辛的寺廟 or a temple in Wisconsin 奧羅拉的電影院

or a movie theater in Aurora 還是芝加哥的街角 or a street corner in Chicago 這些街區都是我們的街

These neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, 這些孩子都是我們的孩子

and these children are our children, 我們要團結一致，采取有意義的措施 and take meaningful action 來避免更多類似慘案出現 to prevent more tragedies like this, 不論你政見如何

regardless of the politics.今晚米歇爾和我會像全美國所有家長一樣 做這樣的事

which is hug our children a little tighter, 并且告訴他們我們愛他們

and we’ll tell them that we love them, 我們還要提醒彼此 有多么深愛對方 and we’ll remind each other 但康州的一些家庭 今晚做不到這些國

But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight 現在他們需要我們大家的幫助

and they need all of us right now.面對苦難 他們需要我們拿出美國人的精神 In the hard days to come, at our best as Americans, 而我會盡我作為總統的一切能力來援助

and I will do everything in my power as president to help, 因為沒有什么能夠填補失去孩子或親人的空洞

because while nothing can fill the space of a lost child or a loved one , 我們都可以身處困境的人們伸出援手 all of us can extend a hand to those in need 提醒他們 to remind them 我們與他們同在

that we are there for them, 我們在這里為他們祈禱

that we are praying for them, 他們對逝者的愛不僅存在于他們的記憶中

that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their memories 也存在于我們的記憶中 but also in ours.愿上帝保佑對遇難者的悼念

May God bless the memory of the victims 最后引用《圣經》的一句話 and, in the words of Scripture, 治愈心碎的人 heal the broken-hearted 幫他們包起傷口 and bind up their woinds.
