【正文】 加強，現(xiàn)在有3000多名學(xué)友。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票或生活費是在是不可能的。But still, too many students never have this chance, and some that do are hesitant to take may feel like studying abroad is only for wealthy students or students from certain kinds of they may think to themselves, well, that sounds fun but how will it be useful in my life? And believe me, I understand where these young people are ing from because I felt the same way back when I was in ，太多的學(xué)生從來沒有這樣的機會…....而一些有機會的學(xué)生猶豫是否要抓住它。我引述一下他的話，最難忘的經(jīng)歷是和我的美國朋友們在一起。這是阿比蓋爾之后，米歇爾在北京大學(xué)斯坦福中心以“讀萬卷書不如行萬里路”為開場進行了約20分鐘的演講。我也希望你們會繼續(xù)教彼此，互相學(xué)習(xí)，同時建立起友誼的紐帶，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。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。同時，當(dāng)你在中國這里以及在美國了解新的文化、結(jié)交新的朋友時，你整個人就是那些價值觀的鮮活代表。因為我們一次又一次地看到，當(dāng)所有公民的聲音和觀點都能得到傾聽的時候，國家會變得更加強大和繁榮。同時，這也是為什么信息和思想在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上、以及通過媒體自由流動是如此重要。正像我在美國經(jīng)常和年輕人說的那樣，你不需要登上飛機才能成為公民外交官?！边€有來自華盛頓的菲力門〃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。例如，美國黑石公司的主管史蒂夫 施瓦茨曼正在自助清華大學(xué)模仿羅德獎學(xué)金的一個新項目。這就是為什么在2009年我丈夫訪問中國時，他宣布了我們的100000強倡議，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。我的父母沒有上過大學(xué)，我將精力集中在進入大學(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。今天的美國，來自中國的交換生數(shù)量很多。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。這是你們認(rèn)識到我們都在彼此的成功中擁有攸關(guān)利益的途徑：在北京這里發(fā)現(xiàn)的治療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)可以改善中國這里的環(huán)境,西安一座古老寺廟的架構(gòu)可以激發(fā)達拉斯或底特律新建筑設(shè)計的靈感。因為就我們這個時代的決定性挑戰(zhàn)而言無論是氣候變化、還是經(jīng)濟機會、或是核武器擴散..….這些都是共同的挑戰(zhàn)。因此,出國留學(xué)不只是以開心的方式度過一個學(xué)期—它正迅速成為在全球經(jīng)濟中取得成功的關(guān)鍵。這是你們認(rèn)識到我們的工程惠及彼此的途徑。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。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。it is quickly being the key to success in our global getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are ’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders –experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your , as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”But let’s be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own ’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all when it es to the defining challenges of our time– whether it’s climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weaponsthese are shared no one country can confront them only way forward is ’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 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 ’s how you e to understand how much we all ’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s successthat 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 that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something ’s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals, and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was a Fulbright ScholarshipScholar in the year, and he reportedand this is a quote from himhe said, “The most memorable experiences were with my American friends.”These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this you’ve heard, China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad, and today, the highest number of exchange students in the from still, too many students never have this chance, and some that do are hesitant to take may feel like studying abroad is only for wealthy students or students from certain kinds of they may think to themselves, well, that sounds fun but how will it be useful in my life? And believe me, I understand where these young people are ing from because I felt the same way back when I was in , I came from a workingclass family, and it never occurred to me to study parents didn’t get a chance to attend college, so I was focused on getting into a university, earning my degree so that I could get a good job to support myself and help my I know for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfway around the world just isn’t that’s not acceptable, because study abroad shouldn’t just be for students from certain hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that truly will change the face of our we believe that diversity makes our country vibrant and our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of America to the that’s why when my husband visited China back in 2009, he announced the 100,000 Strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of American students studying in this year, as we mark the 35th anniversary of the normalization of relationships between our two countries, the actually supports more American students in China than in any other country in the are sending high school, college and graduate students here to study ’re inviting teachers from China to teach Mandarin in American ’re providing free online advising for students in China who want to study in the the Fulbright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 the private sector is stepping up as example, Steve Schwarzman, who is the head of an American pany called Blackstone, is funding a new program at Tsinghua University modeled on the Rhodes today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in the example of Royale Nicholson, who’s from Cleveland, attends New York Universit
