，我們學(xué)到，沒有哪個建立在自由平等原則上的聯(lián)盟能夠容忍半奴隸半自由的狀態(tài)。我們重塑自我，并發(fā)誓一同前進(jìn)。我們一同決定，一個現(xiàn)代經(jīng)濟(jì)體需要鐵路和高速路來促進(jìn)旅游和商務(wù)，需要學(xué)校和大學(xué)來培訓(xùn)我們的工人。我們一同發(fā)現(xiàn)，一個自由市場只有當(dāng)規(guī)則能確保公平競爭時才能夠繁榮。together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and ，一個偉大的國家必須照顧弱者，并保護(hù)他們不受到生活最惡劣的傷害和不幸。through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our ，我們從未放棄過對中央集權(quán)的質(zhì)疑，也未曾對光靠政府就能解決所有社會弊病的幻想有過屈服。對首創(chuàng)精神和進(jìn)取精神的歌頌、對勤勞和責(zé)任的堅(jiān)持已經(jīng)成為我們性格中無法改變的一部分。but we have always

但是我們一直懂得，當(dāng)時代改變時，我們也必須做出相應(yīng)的改變：忠于建國原則需要我們以新的方式應(yīng)對新的挑戰(zhàn)；保證個人自由最終需要我們采取集體行動。因?yàn)闆]有哪個美國人能獨(dú)自滿足當(dāng)今世界的需求，就像美國士兵無法獨(dú)自迎戰(zhàn)擁有槍彈和民兵的法西斯主義。沒有哪一個人能為我們孩子的未來培訓(xùn)所有的數(shù)學(xué)和理科教師，或是通過修路聯(lián)網(wǎng)和建立研究型實(shí)驗(yàn)室給我們海岸帶來更多就業(yè)和商業(yè)活動。作為一個國家、一個民族，我們現(xiàn)在比以往任何時候都有必要團(tuán)結(jié)一致，共同去做這些事。this

kids are pretty understand that life won’t always be perfect, that sometimes, the road gets rough, that even great parents don’t get everything 。他們知道生活并不總是那么完美，他們懂得有時候道路會比較坎坷，即便是偉大的父母也不一定每件事都做的對。記得以前我寫過一篇有關(guān)父親的演講稿，今天看到奧巴馬的這篇演講后頗有感觸，迫不及待和大家分享。這是奧巴馬少有的一篇跟政治無關(guān)的演講，雖然父親節(jié)已過，但作為英語學(xué)習(xí)資料永遠(yuǎn)不過時： hi, father’s day weekend, i’d like to spend a couple minutes talking about what’s sometimes my hardest, but always my most rewarding job – being a ！這個周末是父親節(jié)，我想花點(diǎn)時間與大家交流下做父親的感想。我覺得做好一個父親的角色有時候最困難，但也最有意義。i grew up without my father left when i was two years old, and even though my sister and i were lucky enough to have a wonderful mom and caring grandparents to raise us, i felt his i wonder what my life would have been like had he been a greater 。兩歲時父親離開了我們。但是我和妹妹很幸運(yùn)，母親和祖父母對我們關(guān)懷備至，將我們撫養(yǎng)成人。盡管如此，我仍然覺得父愛缺失。我時常想，如果父親一直在我們的身邊，我的人生可能就會不一樣了。that’s why i’ve tried pretty hard to be a good dad for my own haven’t always succeeded, of course – in the past, my job has kept me away from home more than often i would like to, and the burden of raising two young girls sometimes would fall too heavily

efforts to be the best father i can be, i’ve learned a couple of things about what our children need most from their ，讓我懂得了很多東西。我一直竭盡全力做到最好，我也懂得孩子們最想從父母那里得到什么。first and foremost, they need our more important than the quantity of hours we spend with them is the quality of those it’s just asking about their day, or taking a walk together, but the smallest moments can have the biggest ，孩子們需要我們花時間陪伴。但陪伴他們的時間質(zhì)量比時間數(shù)量更重要。也許只是日常生活中的簡短問候，或是一起散步聊天，但這些最短暫的時光卻可以對他們產(chǎn)生最大的影響。they also need structure, including learning the values of selfdiscipline and and sasha may live in the white house these days, but michelle and i still make sure they finish their schoolwork, do their chores, and walk the ，他們也需要一種結(jié)構(gòu)，包括需要了解自律和責(zé)任的價值。盡管瑪莉亞和薩莎現(xiàn)在生活在白宮，但我和米歇爾還是要確保他們完成家庭作業(yè)，做好日常雜務(wù)，按時遛狗。and above all, children need our unconditional love – whether they succeed or make mistakes。when life is easy and when life is ，孩子們需要我們付出無條件的愛。無論他們是取得了成功，或是犯了錯誤，無論生活是舒適還是艱難。and life is tough for a lot of americans and more kids grow up without a father miss a father who’s away serving his country in even for those dads who are present in their children’s lives, the recession has taken a harsh you’re out of a job or struggling to pay the bills, doing whatever it takes to keep the kids healthy, happy and safe can understandably take precedence over everything ，很多美國人的生活非常艱難。越來越多的孩子在成長過程中缺乏父親的陪伴。有些父親身穿軍裝，為國效力，孩子們便不得不在家苦苦等候。即便是那些可以陪伴孩子們的父親，也因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)衰退受到了嚴(yán)重的創(chuàng)傷。如果你失業(yè)了，或是入不敷出，也要盡全力讓孩子們過上健康、快樂，安全的生活，這顯然是最重要的事情。因此，對于那些希望盡職做個好父親的男人，政府正在為他們提供一些額外的支持。我們鼓勵社會和宗教團(tuán)體關(guān)注父親的角色，并與企業(yè)合作為父親們提供一些機(jī)會，讓他們與孩子們一起度過在保齡球館或棒球場的時光，或與隨軍神父一起幫助父親們建立與孩子們的聯(lián)系。we’re
