n our shores, if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote, if a generation could defeat a depression and define greatness for all time, if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream, and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love, then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American in the end, in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country – the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding is what has made my story, and Barack’s story, and so many other American stories let me tell you something I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady, no, and not just as a wife, you see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still “moninchief”.My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my (let me tell you)today, I have none of those worries from four years ago,(no, not)about whether Barack and I were doing what’s best for our today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and for all our sons and daughters, if we want to give all our children a foundation for their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promises, if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility, that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if you’re willing to work for it, then we must work like never before, and we must once again e together, and stand together, for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward, my husband, our President, President Barack Obama!(Thanks bless you.)第四篇:奧巴馬夫人米歇爾的助選演講稿(中英文對(duì)照)First Lady Michelle Obama:When it es to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could39。ve attended college without financial believe it or not, when we were first married, our bined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our were so young, so in love, and so in 39。s why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of in the end, for Barack, these issues aren39。t political – they39。re Barack knows what it means when a family knows what it means to want something more for your kids and knows the American Dream because he39。s lived it...and he wantseveryone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we39。re from, or what we look like, or who we he believes that when you39。ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it es to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years 39。s the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those munities and get folks back towork...because for Barack, success isn39。t about how much money you make, it39。s about the difference you make in people39。s 39。s the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we 39。s the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school 39。s the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent letter from the father struggling to pay his bills...from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance pany won39。t cover her care...from the young person with so much promise but so few see the concern in his eyes...and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, “You won39。t believe what these folks are going through, Michelle...it39。s not 39。ve got to keep working to fix 39。ve got so much more to do.” I see how those stories – our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams – I see how that39。s what drives Barack Obama every single I didn39。t think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago...even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first love that he39。s never forgotten how he love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he39。s going to do, even when it39。s hard – especially when it39。s love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them” – he doesn39。t care whether you39。re a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above...he knows that we all love our country...and he39。s always ready to listen to good ideas...he39。s always looking for the very best in everyone he I love that even in the toughest moments, when we39。re all sweating it – when we39。re worried that the bill won39。t pass, and it seems like all is lost – Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward...with patience and wisdom, and courage and he reminds me that we are playing a long game here...and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at eventually we get there, we always get there because of folks like my Dad...folks like Barack39。sgrandmother...men and women who said to themselves, “I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will...maybe mygrandchildren will.”So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love...because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was today, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming – or even impossible – let us never fo
