，你好！非常高興來到這里。今天是要歡迎你們所有的人以及全美的學(xué)生回到學(xué)?！蚁氩坏揭粋€比Masterman公學(xué)【1】更好的地方。你們是費城最好的學(xué)校之一——幫助學(xué)生在課堂取得成功的領(lǐng)袖。就在上一周，由于你們所取得的成就而獲得了―全國藍絲帶學(xué)校‖。這對在這里的每一個人都是證明——學(xué)生和家長，教師和學(xué)校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。這是一個優(yōu)秀的典范，我希望全美每個社區(qū)向之學(xué)習(xí)（此處翻譯可能有爭議）。Over the past few weeks, Michelle and I have been getting Sasha and Malia ready for I bet a lot of you are feeling the same way they39。re 39。re a little sad to see the summer go, but you39。re also excited about the possibilities of a new possibilities of building new friendships and strengthening old joining a school club, or trying out for a possibilities of growing into a better student, and a better person, and making your family ，我和Michelle忙著為Sasha和Malia準備好上學(xué)。我打賭你們中的很多人會與她們有相同的感覺。你們會對夏季的結(jié)束略感悲傷，但你們又對新的一年中的種種可能感到興奮——結(jié)交新朋友加強舊友誼的可能，加入一個學(xué)校社團或者參加一只校隊的可能，成為一個更優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生，更好的人并使你的家庭為之驕傲的可能。But I know some of you may also be nervous about starting a new school you39。re making the jump from elementary to middle school, or from middle to high school, and worried about what that39。ll be you39。re starting a new school, and not sure how you39。ll like maybe you39。re a senior who39。s feeling anxious about the whole college process。about where to apply and whether you can afford to 。也許你們剛剛從小學(xué)升入中學(xué)，從初中升入高中，擔心著那里會怎么樣呀。也許你進入一所新學(xué)校，并且不確定你是否會喜歡那里?；蛘吣闶歉呷龑W(xué)生正在為升學(xué)感到焦慮，為申請哪所大學(xué)和自己能否負擔得起而焦慮。And beyond all these concerns, I know a lot of you are also feeling the strain of these difficult know what39。s going on in the news and your own family39。s read about the war in hear about the recession we39。ve been see it in your parents39。 faces and sense it in their ，我知道你們對現(xiàn)在的一些艱難時事也感覺到壓力。你們知道新聞里發(fā)生的事情和你們家庭生活的事情。你們讀到阿富汗戰(zhàn)爭，你們聽到我們正在經(jīng)歷的經(jīng)濟衰退。你們可以從你們父母的臉上看出這些從他們的聲音中聽出這些。A lot of you are having to act a lot older than you are。to be strong for your family while your brother or sister is serving overseas。to look after younger siblings while your mom works that second shift。to take on a parttime job while your dad is out of 。當你們的兄長姐姐在海外服役，為了你們的家庭而你變得堅強；在你們母親出去兼職時照顧好你的弟弟妹妹；當你父親失業(yè)的時候去做一份鐘點工。It39。s a lot to handle。it39。s more than you should have to it may make you wonder at times what your own future will look like。whether you39。ll be able to succeed in school。whether you should set your sights a little lower, and scale back your ，遠遠超過了你們應(yīng)該做的。這也許會使你時常想你自己的未來將會怎樣；你們是否能學(xué)業(yè)有成；是否應(yīng)該放低你的眼光并且調(diào)低你的夢想。But here is what I came to Masterman to tell you: nobody gets to write your destiny but future is in your life is what you make of nothing – absolutely nothing – is beyond your long as you39。re willing to dream long as you39。re willing to work long as you39。re willing to stay focused on your ：除了你沒有人能書寫你的命運。你的未來在你的手中。你的生命是由你創(chuàng)造的。并且沒有——絕對沒有——是你所不能及的。只要你愿意夢想遠大，只要你愿意努力工作，只要你愿意持續(xù)關(guān)注與你的教育。That last part is absolutely essential – because an education has never been more 39。m sure there will be times in the months ahead when you39。re staying up late cramming for a test, or dragging yourselves out of bed on a rainy morning, and wondering if it39。s all worth me tell you, there is no question about will have as great an impact on your success in life as your ——因為教育從來沒有如此重要。我確定在未來的幾個月中會發(fā)生：當你挑燈夜戰(zhàn)準備一次考試，或當你強拽著自己在一個陰雨的早晨起床，并且懷疑這一切是否值得。讓我告訴你，這絕對不是問題。絕沒有比教育在你一生的成功中更重要的。More and more, the kinds of opportunities that are open to you will be determined by how far you go in other words, the farther you go in school, the farther you39。ll go in at a time when other countries are peting with us like never before。when students around the world are working harder than ever, and doing better than ever。your success in school will also help determine America39。s success in the 21st 。換而言之，你學(xué)得越深你的人生行之越遠。此刻其他國家正在和我們進行前所未有的競爭；此時，全世界的學(xué)生都比從前更加努力，做得比從前更好。你們的學(xué)業(yè)有成也將決定著美國在21世紀的成功。So, you have an obligation to yourselves, and America has an obligation to you to make sure you39。re getting the best education making sure you get that kind of education is going to take all of us working ，美國人有義務(wù)確保你們得到盡可能最好的教育。而且用我們的齊心協(xié)力確保你們將得到的教育。It will take all of us in government – from Harrisburg to Washington – doing our part to prepare our students, all of them, for success in the classroom, in college, and in a will take an outstanding principal and outstanding teachers like the ones here at Masterman。teachers who go above and beyond for their it will take parents who are mitted to your ，從哈瑞斯堡到華盛頓，要做好我們的本職去為我們的學(xué)生們，也就是你們，在課堂、在大學(xué)、在職場的成功作準備。這將使每一個優(yōu)秀的校長和優(yōu)秀的教師，如同masterman公學(xué)老師和校長，全心全意的為他們的學(xué)生。這也包括致力于你們教育的家長們。That39。s what we have to do for 39。s our 39。s our here39。s your up to school on attention in your for out of kind of discipline and drive – that kind of hard work – is absolutely essential for ！這是我們的責任。我們的工作。但，接下來是你們的事情：準時到校，認真聽講，完成作業(yè)，準備好考試，不惹麻煩。這些原則和驅(qū)動力——當然也是苦功——對成功是至關(guān)重要的。I know – because I didn39。t always have wasn39。t always the best student when I was younger。I made my share of fact, I can still remember a conversation I had with my mother in high school, when I was about the age of some of you here was about how my grades were slipping, how I hadn39。t even started my college applications, how I was acting, as she put it, “casual” about my 39。s a conversation I suspect will sound familiar to some of the students and parents here ，因為我并不總是那樣。我小時候，我并不總是最好的學(xué)生，我承擔了我錯誤的后果。事實上，我依然能記得我和我母親在我高中時的一次談話，那時我和你們中的一些人年齡差不多。是關(guān)于我的成績下滑，為什么我還沒有開始我的大
