the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic instance,

frost between our countries began to thaw through the simple game of table very unlikely nature of this engagement contributed to its successbecause for all our differences, both our mon humanity and our shared curiosity were one American player described his visit to China“[The]people are just like us…The country is very similar to America, but still very different.” Of course this small opening was followed by the achievement of the Shanghai Communique, and the eventual establishment of formal relations between the United States and China in in three decades, just look at how far we have

kindergarten, or starting middle or high school,

1會知道自己有這樣的天賦；或許你能成為一名議員或最高法院法官，但假如你不去加入什么學生會或參加幾次辯論賽，你也不會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能。我談到過家長們有責任看管你們認真學習、完成作業(yè)，不要成天只會看電視或打游戲機。不過，我想無論你有多大、在讀哪個年級，許多人都打心底里希望現(xiàn)在還在放暑假，以及今天不用那么早起床。你們中的每一個人都會有自己擅長的東西，每一個人都是有用之材，而發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能是什么，就是你們要對自己擔起的責任。因此今夜，請讓我們自問如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀；如果我的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長，她們將會看到怎樣的改變？我們將會取得什么樣的進步。是的，我們能做到。她出生的那個時代奴隸制度剛剛結(jié)束；那時路上沒有汽車，天上也沒有飛機。那些追求和平和安全的人們，我們支持你們。讓我們記住，是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的旗幟扛到了白宮。21個月前在寒冬所開始的一切不應(yīng)當在今天這個秋夜結(jié)束。前方的道路將很漫長，我們攀登的腳步會很艱辛。這是你們的勝利。我的首席策略師大衛(wèi)艾克斯羅德，他一直是追隨我的伙伴。我想感謝我在競選旅程的伙伴，一位用心競選的男士，一位為和他一起在斯克蘭頓街頭一同長大的男人和女子代言、經(jīng)常坐火車回特拉華州的男士，美國當選副總統(tǒng)拜登。我們是，我們永遠是美利堅合眾國。非常感謝你,每一個人。但你得做你的一部分了。美國的故事不是關(guān)于那些放棄當事情的態(tài)度強硬起來。你可以讀一些了幾圈,然后你了解它。如果你得到一個壞分數(shù),這并不意味著你是愚蠢的,它只是意味著你需要花更多的時間學習。邁克爾你不會喜歡你學習的每一個學科。也許你會決定挺身而出時,他們的孩子,他們都是被耍弄或欺負,因為他們是誰,或者他們怎么看,因為你相信,就像我現(xiàn)在所作的,所有的年輕人都應(yīng)該有一個安全的環(huán)境研究和學習。在他們的生活中面臨挑戰(zhàn)就像你也需要一樣。但她工作很努力,成績不俗,獲得了布朗大學的獎學金——現(xiàn)在是在大學的時候,公共衛(wèi)生研究將成為博士Jazmin法勒斯。沒有理由不去嘗試。她的父母也曾上過大學,他們沒有很多錢。我父親留給我的家人在我兩歲的時候,我生長在一個單親媽媽不得不工作,有時在付賬單,并且不是總能給我們其他孩子的事。你將會需
