還有,作為一個國家,我們有很多方式幫助父親們和母親們做出這個選擇。擔起作為偉大的父母或?qū)煹呢熑问俏覀冏鳛閭€人必須做出的選擇。如果你想成為你們社區(qū)的任何一個年輕人的導師。盡管沒有什么可以取代一個家長,我們中的任何人都可以盡自己的努力成為導師,一個傾聽者和孩子需要的任何角色。我總是利用一切機會鼓勵父親們更多地融入孩子們的生活,因為這使你成為一個不止是有能力生孩子的男人,而是有撫養(yǎng)孩子的勇氣的男人。我深知沒有他我們的艱難。但是事實上,我們給父親們的永遠比不上父親們給我們的。如果你還沒有給爸爸準備禮物,現(xiàn)在還來得及。s Day, it must make him proud to know that the man now charged with keeping its foundation strong is his son and your new pastor, Reverend Byron Brazier.第五篇:美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬2014年父親節(jié)講話美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬2014年父親節(jié)講話Hi, is Father’s you haven’t got Dad a gift yet, there’s still the truth is, what we give our fathers can never match what our fathers give 。joblessness and of his work and his ministry, there are more graduates and fewer gang members in the neighborhoods surrounding this are more homes and fewer is more munity and less chaos because Bishop Brazier continued the march for justice that he began by 39。謝謝大家。這就是今天 [/color][/size][url=][size=5] [color=gray]父親[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=gray]節(jié)我為我們大家作的祈禱,也是我對我 們國家將來所抱有的希望。我們嘗試,我們希望,我們盡力把我們的房子建在一個最堅實的巖石上。哪怕這很困難,哪怕所要做的工作有多艱巨,哪怕在我們一生中所能做到的還遠離目標甚遠。我想到的是我要留給她們一個什么樣的世界。我當時開始回答得有點結(jié)巴,然后我停下來,想了一會兒就說道:[/color][color=gray]―我年輕的時候,我想到的生活就是關(guān)于我——我如何為自己在世界闖出一條路來,我如何取得成功,以及我如何獲得我所要的東西。有一個年輕人舉起手,我猜想他想問的是有關(guān)大學學費、能源問題或者也許有關(guān)伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭。只要我們有這個信念啊。[/color][color=gray]―我講的希望不是空談的希望——那種類似盲目的樂觀主義或?qū)栴}不加考慮的盲干。風仍會在吹,雨仍會在打。但我們也必須明白,即使我們做到這一切,既使我們做[/color][/size] [url=][size=5][color=gray]父親 [/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=gray]和家長的盡了我們的義務,即使華盛頓政府履其職責,我們在生活中仍 然會碰到許多艱難的挑戰(zhàn)?!琜/color][/size][size=5][color=gray]……接下去[/color][/size][url=][size=5] [color=gray]奧巴馬[/color][/size][/url][size=5][color=gray]談到政府應如何幫助盡責的父親和所 應采取的措施。我們須要給他們做出這樣的榜樣——強者不是把別人擊倒而是把別人扶起來,這才是強者。所以,我們在學?;蛟诮稚蠒吹竭@些同樣的行為表現(xiàn)是不足為奇的。[/color][color=gray]―但我們年輕的男孩女孩都會觀察到這一切。有時候我們是那么容易地執(zhí)著于―我們‖,而忘了我們相互之間所應承擔的義務。[/color][color=gray]―第二個教訓是,我們?yōu)楦杆鶓龅氖莻鹘o我們孩子對人應有同感empathy的人生價值。讓他們知道我們對他們抱有這些期望就全靠我們。要靠我們告訴我們的女孩,別讓你的自身 價值被電視上的形象所操縱影響,因為我要你能做你最大的夢,去為之而奮斗。在今天,只完成初中教育是競爭不過人的。我在想,那只不過初中畢業(yè) 唄。我們明白為此所需的努力、學習和教育水平。[/color] [color=gray]―我們明白學校教育是孩子未來的關(guān)鍵。作為父親和家長,我們應該花更多時間在他們身上,幫他們完成作業(yè),時不時讓他們拋開電腦游戲或遙控器而捧上一本書。結(jié)了婚而又能跟孩子住在一起是再好不過了,但卻不能只坐在家里而整個周末看電視的―體育中心‖節(jié)目。[/color][color=gray]―第一個教訓是給我們的子女做出一個絕佳的榜樣,因為如果我們對他們抱有很高的期望,我們對自己也應該抱有同樣高的期望。[/color][color=gray]―我在講這些話時,我心里明白我是一個缺點多多的父親——我知道我犯過錯誤并且將仍不斷地犯更多錯誤;我希望我能比現(xiàn)在有更多時 間在家陪伴我女兒和太太,可是又做不到。所以我多年前已下定決心要打破這個惡性循環(huán)——我下定決心,如果我一生中有何成就的話,我要作 為我女兒的好父親;如果我能給予她們?nèi)魏螙|西的話,我要給她們那個她們能建立她們生活的巖石——那個基礎(chǔ)。[/color][color=gray]―盡管如此,我了解我母親作為一個單親所要付出的艱辛:有時候她吃力掙扎著清還賬單;掙扎著給我們那些別的孩子有的東西;掙扎著 扮演應該由雙親扮演的角色。他們的生活中不容他們有犯錯誤而改過自新的機會。雖然我們沒有很多錢,但獎 學金讓我有機會上我們國家一些最好的學校。我在夏威夷長大,我有兩個來自堪薩斯州的外祖父母,他們盡他們的一切幫我 母親撫養(yǎng)我和我妹妹,也幫她教導我們對人要有愛心、尊重和有責任感。[/color][color=gray]―我知道身邊沒有一個父親的苦處,當然我的處境沒有像今天許多年輕人的處境那么不幸。她們的孩子也需要另一個家 長。許許多多的婦女正干著這些英勇偉大的工作,但她們需要支持啊。[/color] [/size][size=5][color=gray] [/color] [color=gray]―我們需要幫助那些正在靠自己撫養(yǎng)孩子的母親。我們需要父親們能認識到做父親的責任并不終止于導致懷孕。由于父親的缺席,我們社會的基礎(chǔ)變得更加薄 弱。統(tǒng)計資料告訴我們:生活里沒有父親的孩子比較容易落入貧困或犯罪的可能性高出五倍;他們比較容易棄學的可能性高出九倍;比較容易關(guān)進監(jiān)獄的可能性高 出二十倍。[/color][color=gray]―你我都知道這種情況在非洲裔美國人的社會里多么真實。他們置他們的責任于不顧,表現(xiàn)得像小男孩而不是男子漢。父親是教師和教練,他們是導師和生活角色的模范,是成功的榜樣,亦是老推動我們走向成功的 人。s Day, and that is my hope for this country in the years God Bless you and your you.[/color][color=000000][b](開頭黑字體那一段沒有翻譯)[/b][/color] [/size][color=000000] [/color][color=ff6600] [/color][size=5][color=gray]―在我們建立我們生活所依附的巖石中,今天我們要記起來的是,最重要的巖石是家庭。s if the work seems if we don39。t count for much unless you39。ve done to its climate?
