for being such an outstanding yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it39。因此,今天我想要問(wèn)你們,你們會(huì)做出什么樣的貢獻(xiàn)?你們將解決什么樣的難題?你們能發(fā)現(xiàn)什么樣的事物?二十、五十或百年之后,假如那時(shí)的美國(guó)總統(tǒng)也來(lái)做一次開(kāi)學(xué)演講的話,他會(huì)怎樣描述你們對(duì)這個(gè)國(guó)家所做的一切?你們的家長(zhǎng)、你們的老師和我,每一個(gè)人都在盡最大的努力,確保你們都能得到應(yīng)有的教育來(lái)回答這些問(wèn)題。不要不敢向他人求助。喬丹上高中時(shí)被學(xué)校的籃球隊(duì)刷了下來(lái),在他的職業(yè)生涯里,他輸了幾百場(chǎng)比賽、投失過(guò)幾千次射籃,知道他是怎么說(shuō)的嗎?“我一生不停地失敗、失敗再失敗,這就是我現(xiàn)在成功的原因。我知道有些時(shí)候,電視上播放的節(jié)目會(huì)讓你產(chǎn)生這樣那樣的錯(cuò)覺(jué),似乎你不需要付出多大的努力就能腰纏萬(wàn)貫、功成名就——你會(huì)認(rèn)為只要會(huì)唱rap、會(huì)打籃球或參加個(gè)什么真人秀節(jié)目就能坐享其成,但現(xiàn)實(shí)是,你幾乎沒(méi)有可能走上其中任何一條道路。這個(gè)秋天,他要開(kāi)始在大學(xué)讀書(shū)了。你們中有些人可能沒(méi)有這些有利條件,或許你的生活中沒(méi)有能為你提供幫助和支持的長(zhǎng)輩,或許你的某個(gè)家長(zhǎng)沒(méi)有工作、經(jīng)濟(jì)拮據(jù),或許你住的社區(qū)不那么安全,或許你認(rèn)識(shí)一些會(huì)對(duì)你產(chǎn)生不良影響的朋友,等等。當(dāng)然,我明白,讀好書(shū)并不總是件容易的事?;蛟S你能寫出優(yōu)美的文字——甚至有一天能讓那些文字出現(xiàn)在書(shū)籍和報(bào)刊上——但假如不在英語(yǔ)課上經(jīng)常練習(xí)寫作,你不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有這樣的天賦;或許你能成為一個(gè)發(fā)明家、創(chuàng)造家——甚至設(shè)計(jì)出像今天的iPhone一樣流行的產(chǎn)品,或研制出新的藥物與疫苗——但假如不在自然科學(xué)課程上做上幾次實(shí)驗(yàn),你不 1會(huì)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(xué)生會(huì)或參加幾次辯論賽,你也不會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才能。我談到過(guò)家長(zhǎng)們有責(zé)任看管你們認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)、完成作業(yè),不要成天只會(huì)看電視或打游戲機(jī)。不過(guò),我想無(wú)論你有多大、在讀哪個(gè)年級(jí),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(gè)人都會(huì)有自己擅長(zhǎng)的東西,每一個(gè)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(duì)自己擔(dān)起的責(zé)任。他說(shuō):“假如你放棄學(xué)習(xí),那么你不僅是放棄了自己,也是放棄了你的國(guó)家。第二,學(xué)生要承擔(dān)對(duì)國(guó)家的責(zé)任。6歲到10歲時(shí),也即小學(xué)前四年,他跟媽媽住在印度尼西亞的首都雅加達(dá)。謝謝大家,上帝保佑你們,上帝保佑美國(guó)。美國(guó)不是一個(gè)人們?cè)庥隼щy就輕易放棄的國(guó)度,在這個(gè)國(guó)家,人們堅(jiān)持到底、人們加倍努力,為了他們所熱愛(ài)的國(guó)度,每一個(gè)人都盡著自己最大的努力,不會(huì)給自己留任何余地。這都是很正常的?!豆愕哪繕?biāo)可以很簡(jiǎn)單,像是完成作業(yè)、認(rèn)真聽(tīng)講或每天閱讀——或許你打算參加一些課外活動(dòng),或在社區(qū)做些志愿工作;或許你決定為那些因?yàn)殚L(zhǎng)相或出身等等原因而受嘲弄或欺負(fù)的孩子做主、維護(hù)他們的權(quán)益,因?yàn)槟愫臀乙粯?,認(rèn)為每個(gè)孩子都應(yīng)該能有一個(gè)安全的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境;或許你認(rèn)為該學(xué)著更好的照顧自己,來(lái)為將來(lái)的學(xué)習(xí)做準(zhǔn)備??當(dāng)然,除此之外,我希望你們都多多洗手、感到身體不舒服的時(shí)候要多在家休息,免得大家在秋冬感冒高發(fā)季節(jié)都得流感。剛進(jìn)學(xué)校時(shí),她根本不會(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ),她住的地方幾乎沒(méi)人上過(guò)大學(xué),她的父母也沒(méi)有受過(guò)高等教育,但她努力學(xué)習(xí),取得了優(yōu)異的成績(jī),靠獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金進(jìn)入了布朗大學(xué),如今正在攻讀公共衛(wèi)生專業(yè)的博士學(xué)位。和你們一樣,他們也在生活中遭遇各種各樣的困難與問(wèn)題,但他們拒絕放棄,他們選擇為自己的教育擔(dān)起責(zé)任、給自己定下奮斗的目標(biāo)。而且,并不是每件事,你都能在頭一次嘗試時(shí)獲得成功。沒(méi)有哪一個(gè)人一生出來(lái)就擅長(zhǎng)做什么事情的,只有努力才能培養(yǎng)出技能。所以,有不懂時(shí),就向大人們求助吧——找個(gè)你信得過(guò)的對(duì)象,例如父母、長(zhǎng)輩、老師、教練或輔導(dǎo)員——讓他們幫助你向目標(biāo)前進(jìn)。因此我要求你們?cè)诮衲昴軌蛘J(rèn)真起來(lái),我要求你們盡心地去做自己著手的每一件事,我要求你們每一個(gè)人都有所成就。但這番面向全美學(xué)生——從剛進(jìn)幼兒園的小孩到馬上畢業(yè)的高中生,他雖然開(kāi)場(chǎng)時(shí)笑容滿面,卻是越講越嚴(yán)肅,最后簡(jiǎn)直到了說(shuō)教的地步,一點(diǎn)也不講究”和靄可親”。但這位美國(guó)總統(tǒng)居然一字不提上學(xué)的樂(lè)趣,反倒大談他小時(shí)候在家上“課外班”的辛苦,對(duì)“虎媽教育”表現(xiàn)出贊美和懷念之情,這算怎么回事?接下來(lái)的演講內(nèi)容,更加讓人意外且感慨叢生。學(xué)生總會(huì)受到各種干擾,包括社區(qū)安全和交友不慎,但“歸根結(jié)底,你的生活狀況,你的長(zhǎng)相、出身、經(jīng)濟(jì)條件、家庭氛圍,都不是疏忽學(xué)業(yè)和態(tài)度惡劣的借口,不是跟老師頂嘴、逃課或輟學(xué)的借口,不是不好好讀書(shū)的借口??炭?、負(fù)責(zé)、為國(guó)家的富強(qiáng)讀書(shū),這與給中小學(xué)生減負(fù)并不矛盾。第三篇:奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿奧巴馬開(kāi)學(xué)演講稿(中英對(duì)照)——我們?yōu)槭裁匆蠈W(xué)?阿文弗吉尼亞州,阿林頓市,2009年9月8日嗨,大家好!你們今天過(guò)得怎么樣?我現(xiàn)在和弗吉尼亞州阿林頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學(xué)生們?cè)谝黄?,全?guó)各地也有從幼兒園到高三的眾多學(xué)生們通過(guò)電視關(guān)注這里,我很高興你們能共同分享這一時(shí)刻。我要和你們談一談你們每個(gè)人的教育,以及在新的學(xué)年里,你們應(yīng)當(dāng)做些什么。首先,我想談?wù)勀銈儗?duì)于自己有什么責(zé)任。你們需要在數(shù)理科學(xué)課程上學(xué)習(xí)的知識(shí)和技能,去治療癌癥、艾滋那樣的疾病,和解決我們面臨的能源問(wèn)題與環(huán)境問(wèn)題;你們需要在歷史社科課程上培養(yǎng)出的觀察力與判斷力,來(lái)減輕和消除無(wú)家可歸與貧困、犯罪問(wèn)題和各種歧視,讓這個(gè)國(guó)家變得更加公平和自由;你們需要在各類課程中逐漸累積和發(fā)展出來(lái)的創(chuàng)新意識(shí)和思維,去創(chuàng)業(yè)和建立新的公司與企業(yè),來(lái)制造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)和推動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng)。但我很幸運(yùn)。例如德克薩斯州羅馬市的賈斯敏?佩雷茲(Jazmin Perez)。因此,在今天,我號(hào)召你們每一個(gè)人都為自己的教育定下一個(gè)目標(biāo)——并在之后,盡自己的一切努力去實(shí)現(xiàn)它。因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)世界上,最最成功的人們往往也經(jīng)歷過(guò)最多的失敗。對(duì)于學(xué)業(yè)也是一樣,你或許要反復(fù)運(yùn)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(biāo)準(zhǔn)。因?yàn)楫?dāng)你放棄自己的時(shí)候,你也放棄了自己的國(guó)家。你們要成為我們驕傲,我知道,你們一定可以做到。ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this know that I was young, my family lived lived in Indonesia for a few my mother, she didn39。s expected of all of you in this new school , I39。ve talked a lot about your government39。ll need an education to do want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer?
