And I expect all of you to do the same.That39。t mean you39。t ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn39。s why I succeed.These people succeeded because they understood that you can39。re struggling, even when you39。我可以理解這份心情。而且，我可以向你保證，不管你將來想要做什么，你都需要相應(yīng)的教育。你們中有些人可能沒有這些有利條件，或許你的生活中沒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。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。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)。你們要成為我們驕傲，我知道，你們一定可以做到。只有你自己才能把歲月描畫成一幅難以忘懷的人生畫卷。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(jìn)的設(shè)施與計(jì)算機(jī)。”他們的成功，源于他們明白人不能讓失敗左右自己——而是要從中吸取經(jīng)驗(yàn)。史蒂夫（Shantell Steve）換過多次收養(yǎng)家庭，從小在治安很差的地區(qū)長(zhǎng)大，但她努力爭(zhēng)取到了在當(dāng)?shù)乇＝≌竟ぷ鞯臋C(jī)會(huì)、發(fā)起了一個(gè)讓青少年遠(yuǎn)離犯罪團(tuán)伙的項(xiàng)目，很快，她也將以優(yōu)異的成績(jī)從中學(xué)畢業(yè)，去大學(xué)深造。但我很幸運(yùn)。首先，我想談?wù)勀銈儗?duì)于自己有什么責(zé)任。t let yourself down.

EDT弗吉尼亞州，阿林頓市，2009年9月8日嗨，大家好！你們今天過得怎么樣？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)谝黄穑珖?guó)各地也有從幼兒園到高三的眾多學(xué)生們通過電視關(guān)注這里，我很高興你們能共同分享這一時(shí)刻。t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn39。t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That39。s a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don39。ve had the most failures. . Rowling39。s headed to college this fall.And then there39。m not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn39。ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You39。s expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I39。.. .. .. ..奧巴馬開學(xué)演講原文（帶翻譯）：REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENTREMARKS BY THE PRESIDENTIN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA39。ve given a lot of speeches about education.
