【正文】 xpect all of you to do the 、安多尼和尚特爾與你們中間的每個人沒什么兩樣。他們決定要為自己的一生、自己的教育負起責任，為自己設(shè)定各項奮斗目標。也許你會決定要參加課外活動或在你的社區(qū)提供志愿服務(wù)。But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to mit to want you to really work at ，我希望你保證去做。The truth is, being successful is won’t love every subject that you won’t click with every teacher that you every homework assignment will seem pletely relevant to your life right at this you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you ，取得成功不是輕而易舉的事情。你第一次嘗試做每件事的時候，不一定成功。邁克爾?喬丹（Michael Jordan）曾被他的高中籃球隊除名?！盩hese people succeeded because they understood that you can’t let your failures define youyou have to let your failures teach have to let them show you what to do differently the next if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time ，因為他們懂得：你不能讓失敗來限制你，而必須讓失敗來開導(dǎo)你。No one’s born being good at all bee good at things through hard ’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new don’t hit every note the first time you sing a ’ve got to same principle applies to your might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it might have to read something a few times before you understand definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand 。你必須練習。在交出一篇優(yōu)美的作文之前，你肯定需要打幾遍草稿。請求幫助不是軟弱的表現(xiàn)，它是力量的標志，因為它表明你有勇氣承認自己對某些事情不懂，這樣做會使你學(xué)到新的東西。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 who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war。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 es here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?而今天，我要問問你們大家，你們將做出什么貢獻？你們將解決什么問題？你們將有什么發(fā)現(xiàn)？20年、50年或100年后來到這里講話的總統(tǒng)將會怎樣評價你們大家為這個國家所做的一切？Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these ’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the puters you need to you’ve got to do your part, I expect all of you to get serious this expect you to put your best effort into everything you expect great things from each of don’t let us ’t let your family down or your country of all, don’t let yourself us all 、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。我希望你們盡最大努力做好每一件事。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。謝謝你們。我想也會有許多畢業(yè)班的學(xué)生們正自信滿滿地準備最后一年的沖刺。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。我談到過教師們有責任激勵和啟迪你們，督促你們學(xué)習?！悄忝刻鞙蕰r去上學(xué)、除非你認真地聽老師講課、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。教育給你們提供了發(fā)現(xiàn)自己才能的機會。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。假如你不這么做——假如你放棄學(xué)習——那么你不僅是放棄了自己，也是放棄了你的國家。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。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，好讓她有機會去這個國家最優(yōu)秀的學(xué)校讀書。沒有人為你編排好你的命運，在美國，你的命運由你自己書寫，你的未來由你自己掌握。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。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起責任、給自己定下奮斗的目標。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。而且，并不是每件事，你都能在頭一次嘗試時獲得成功?！彼麄兊某晒Γ从谒麄兠靼兹瞬荒茏屖∽笥易约骸且獜闹形〗?jīng)驗。對于學(xué)業(yè)也是一樣，你或許要反復(fù)運算才能解出一道數(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準。——我每天都在這么做。因為當你放棄自己的時候，你也放棄了自己的國家。例如我正在努力為你們提供更安全的教室、更多的書籍、更先進的設(shè)施與計算機。你們要成為我們驕傲，我知道，你們一定可以做到。m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what39。ve talked about teachers39。t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the 39。t getting the opportunities that they at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the worldand 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 39。s assigned to you could be an innovator or an inventormaybe even good enough to e up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccinebut you might not know it until you do your project for your science you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justicebut you might not know that until you join student government or the debate no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you39。t just important for your own life and your own you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this future of America depends on you39。ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new panies that will create new jobs and boost our 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 you don39。s not always easy to do well in know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your get know what it39。t always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I39。s not enough money to go you live in a neighborhood where you don39。s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of is no excuse for not you are right now doesn39。s what young people like you are doing every day, all across people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, didn39。s had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longerhundreds of extra hoursto do his he never fell 39。t any different from any of face challenges in their lives just like you some cases they39。ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your you39。re not going to be any of those truth is, being successful is won39。s of the most successful people in the world are the ones wh
