第一篇:小學(xué)生夢想與責(zé)任演講
夢想藏于心,責(zé)任扛于肩,成長行與腳下 鞠躬 上臺
尊敬的各位領(lǐng)導(dǎo),親愛的同事們大家好,我是曾弘垚,來自建筑一分院。今天面對夢想、責(zé)任、成長這一主題,每個(gè)人都會有自己的答案,與其說是演講,不如說是跟大家分享一下我的想法。
不知道大家有沒有關(guān)注最新的中國好聲音第三季,期中有一位導(dǎo)師有一個(gè)永恒不變的問題,那就是要選手“談?wù)勀愕膲粝搿?。他們既不是音樂?dǎo)師,也不是表演導(dǎo)師,他們自稱為夢想導(dǎo)師,我想這是有原因的。上臺演唱的每一位歌手,不知道大家覺得怎么樣,我覺得都已經(jīng)具備了不俗的實(shí)力,稱為職業(yè)歌手也不為過。他們在音準(zhǔn)、音域、穩(wěn)定度等專業(yè)方面自然也不會有太多問題,然而他們的共同問題則是一個(gè)未完成的夢想,因此他們最需要的是一位能引領(lǐng)他們完成自己夢想的導(dǎo)師。
夢想對于一個(gè)人的作用不言而喻,夢想是一個(gè)人的靈魂、夢想是人生道路上的指路燈,每個(gè)人或許也都有自己對于夢想的概念,而我想說的是,夢想是一個(gè)完整的人所必須的必要條件,沒有夢想就不是一個(gè)完整的人。因此我覺得參加中國好聲音的歌手都很幸運(yùn),能夠有自己的夢想,也只有這樣才能遇到自己的夢想導(dǎo)師,進(jìn)而完成夢想完整自己。因此我也不止一次地問自己,我的夢想又是什么呢?小的時(shí)候,我會思索一下然后說我的夢想是科學(xué)家,發(fā)明能夠拯救全人類的東西。少年的時(shí)候,我會思索一下然后說我的夢想是成為閃耀的體育明星,突破人類極限的同時(shí)也能為國增光。大學(xué)時(shí)期,我會思索一下然后說我的夢想是成為一名規(guī)劃或者建筑大師,創(chuàng)造屬于我的風(fēng)格。但是今天,我會毫不猶豫的說,我的夢想是成為一位在一線工作的建筑師,為祖國在城市化的進(jìn)程中添磚加瓦,為祖國的未來鋪平道路。
我現(xiàn)在的夢想,現(xiàn)在聽起來或許平淡無奇,但相比之前的夢想,卻絕對是獨(dú)一無二的。因?yàn)樗且粋€(gè)過程,通往未來的路永無止境,我的夢想不再是某一個(gè)聽起來輝煌的時(shí)刻。也正是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)過程,用我的方式來詮釋,它將絕對會是唯一的。
這樣的夢想,這樣的變化,你可以認(rèn)為是因?yàn)榄h(huán)境差異、家庭條件、個(gè)人能力等原因造成的,而我將它解釋為責(zé)任。小的時(shí)候不懂得人類這個(gè)詞的沉重,少年的時(shí)候不懂得家庭這個(gè)詞的艱辛,大學(xué)的時(shí)候不懂得大師這個(gè)詞的復(fù)雜,而現(xiàn)在我懂得了什么才是國家、社會和家庭最需要的東西,而這就是我的責(zé)任,我選擇在此基礎(chǔ)上完成我的夢想,頓時(shí)多年來困惑的夢想的問題變得清晰無比。
不承擔(dān)責(zé)任的夢想是無力的,也是不完整的,或許更應(yīng)該稱之為夢。請大家設(shè)想一下,當(dāng)你閉上眼睛的時(shí)候,你的心在向夢飛去;而當(dāng)你睜開眼睛的時(shí)候,身體在向一個(gè)目標(biāo)前進(jìn)。只有當(dāng)夢與現(xiàn)實(shí)的目標(biāo)完美結(jié)合的時(shí)候,我覺得這才是真正的夢想。只有這樣,無論何時(shí)你都有夢想相伴,不再孤獨(dú)和空虛,這不就是夢想正真的作用嗎?那就是使人變得完整。而擁有這樣的夢想,就必須選擇責(zé)任。
最后關(guān)于成長,在追逐夢想,承擔(dān)責(zé)任的路上,成長無時(shí)不刻的發(fā)生,請正視成長并且記住它吧,它將會是這一路風(fēng)風(fēng)雨雨的見證。夢想藏于心、責(zé)任扛于肩、成長行于腳下,這就是我想說的,謝謝大家。

演講稿一:小學(xué)追逐夢想演講稿
各位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、各位來賓:
大家好!我演講的題目是——《責(zé)任傾注教育,奉獻(xiàn)追逐夢想》。成為一名老師,是我孩提時(shí)代的夢。于是,在人生的十字路口,我毅然選擇了教師這個(gè)職業(yè)。師范學(xué)校的生活轉(zhuǎn)眼而過,懷著滿腔的熱情,帶著十足的干勁,我踏上了三尺講臺。一路走來,讓我明白:教育是太陽底下最光輝的事業(yè),而責(zé)任就是教育的光輝;教師是人類靈魂的工程師,而奉獻(xiàn)就是教師的靈魂。
如果把教育事業(yè)比作一棵大樹,那么對崗位的熱愛就是它的樹根。我工作在一個(gè)愛崗敬業(yè)的環(huán)境中,青年教師滿腔熱忱地扎根于講臺,中年教師無怨無悔地?fù)湓诠ぷ魃?,老教師默默地埋頭苦干。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)們嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)淖黠L(fēng)、同事們敬業(yè)的精神,使我暗下決心:不追名譽(yù),但求工作進(jìn)步;不追利益,但求今生無悔。
我愛學(xué)生,尤其關(guān)愛學(xué)困生,常常利用課余時(shí)間,陪他們聊天,打開他們的心扉,激發(fā)他們學(xué)習(xí)的興趣,再注入知識的清泉。我明白,在他們眼中,哪怕我只是朝他們微微一笑,摸摸他們的小腦袋,也會被看作是一種莫大的鼓勵(lì)和認(rèn)可。我也是一個(gè)孩子的母親,可每天陪女兒的時(shí)間屈指可數(shù),每當(dāng)看到小家伙粘著我卻又不能陪她時(shí),我會非常心酸,但看到我的學(xué)生那燦爛的笑容,以及點(diǎn)滴的進(jìn)步,我也會倍感欣慰。我知道我肩上承載著更多的責(zé)任,這是捧著一顆心來,不帶半根草去的師愛精神。
如果把教育事業(yè)比作一棵大樹,那么奉獻(xiàn)就是它的枝干。2015年12月13日,我參加了教育局組織的無償獻(xiàn)血活動。當(dāng)時(shí)的我十分瘦弱,體質(zhì)較差,身邊的同事也非常為我擔(dān)心,我更不敢把自己獻(xiàn)血的事,告訴遠(yuǎn)在上海的父母,可我依然選擇這樣做,因?yàn)槲沂且幻處煟且幻谙螯h組織靠攏的積極分子,理應(yīng)帶頭垂范,為身邊的老師和學(xué)生樹立榜樣。獻(xiàn)一次血對我來說,是力所能及的事,多休息幾天,身體就可恢復(fù),而對于一個(gè)急需輸血的病人來說,有了血源,就等于有了一次重生的機(jī)會。挽救一個(gè)生命,就是挽救一個(gè)幸福的家庭,我認(rèn)為我的付出非常值得,我用切實(shí)的行動來告訴大家,奉獻(xiàn)是快樂的,也是幸福的!
居里夫人有句名言:人類也需要夢想者,這種人醉心于一種事業(yè)的大公無私的發(fā)展,因而不能注意自身的物質(zhì)利益。我覺得教師就要做醉心于教育事業(yè)的夢想者,這種無私的奉獻(xiàn)精神,一定會奏出最美的樂章!我要用居里夫人的名言激勵(lì)自己:把責(zé)任傾注在教育上,用奉獻(xiàn)去追逐教育的夢想。我的演講完畢,謝謝大家!
演講稿二:小學(xué)追逐夢想演講稿
親愛的老師、同學(xué)們:
早上好!夏日的炎熱漸漸消褪,金色的九月已經(jīng)來臨。我們度過了一個(gè)愉快而充實(shí)的暑假,迎來了新的學(xué)期、新的開始。今天我們?nèi)熒胖R的隊(duì)伍,舉行本學(xué)期的第一次升旗儀式,這是一個(gè)嶄新的開端,意味著我們站在了一個(gè)新的起點(diǎn),開始了一段新的征程。首先我代表學(xué)校全體師生對本學(xué)期新轉(zhuǎn)入我校的學(xué)生表示熱烈歡迎,對新入學(xué)的一年級小朋友和七年級新生表示熱烈的祝賀!祝賀一年級小朋友成為光榮的小學(xué)生,祝賀七年級的同學(xué)們步入初中,開始中學(xué)生活!新同學(xué),歡迎你們加入永實(shí)學(xué)校!
永實(shí)學(xué)校是一所年輕的學(xué)校,是富有生機(jī)活力、充滿希望的學(xué)校。我們的辦學(xué)理念是自主、求真、自信、創(chuàng)新,我們的辦學(xué)目標(biāo)是培育精英人才,塑造明星教師。在過去的一年里,學(xué)校全體師生不懈努力,學(xué)校的辦學(xué)條件不斷改善,教學(xué)質(zhì)量不斷提高,取得了顯著的辦學(xué)成效。在今年的小學(xué)畢業(yè)測試中,我校英語、科學(xué)兩科的合格率100%,各科平均成績位居全區(qū)第一!上個(gè)學(xué)期,學(xué)校開展了豐富多彩的活動,和爸爸媽媽一起到郊外野餐、為貧困學(xué)生舉辦繪畫作品義賣會......這些活動讓同學(xué)們感受到濃濃的親情,體會到幫助他人的快樂。暑假期間,我們還完成了非常有意義的作業(yè),如學(xué)唱一首英文歌曲、看一部英文字幕影片、讀一本好書并推薦給大家等等,這些特別的作業(yè)增長了我們的知識,豐富了我們的視野。這一周,各班將對同學(xué)們的假期作業(yè)進(jìn)行評比,希望同學(xué)們的作業(yè)都能得獎(jiǎng),并且張貼出來讓大家參觀學(xué)習(xí)!
同學(xué)們,在新的學(xué)期開始之即,你們的心中一定充滿希望,一定有自己的夢想吧?也許你的夢想是成績進(jìn)步,也許你的夢想是拿到獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,也許你的夢想是考取理想的學(xué) 校......那么,怎樣才能實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想呢?在這里,我告訴大家一個(gè)訣竅,那就是:努力、堅(jiān)持,不斷地努力、再堅(jiān)持!也許你認(rèn)為這個(gè)太簡單了,算不上什么訣竅,但如果你確定了正確的目標(biāo),真的做到堅(jiān)持不懈地努力,就一定會成功!就拿我們這一周的入學(xué)教育來說吧,各種訓(xùn)練尤其是軍訓(xùn),會很苦很累。有的同學(xué)長這么大,從來沒有經(jīng)歷過嚴(yán)格的訓(xùn)練,面對困難,你是選擇勇敢地堅(jiān)持還是怯懦地放棄呢?我相信,同學(xué)們都會選擇堅(jiān)持,按照教官的要求反復(fù)訓(xùn)練,使自己的每一個(gè)動作都達(dá)標(biāo),每一個(gè)步子都規(guī)范。我相信,經(jīng)過一周的訓(xùn)練,同學(xué)們肯定能養(yǎng)成良好的文明禮儀和行為習(xí)慣,獲得學(xué)校設(shè)立的各種獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),肯定能樹立一個(gè)充滿自信的新形象!星期五的開學(xué)典禮上,我們將舉行各班列隊(duì)檢閱儀式,比一比哪個(gè)班的隊(duì)列整齊,向所有師生和家長展示你們的風(fēng)采!同學(xué)們,你們有信心嗎?
我相信,在永實(shí)學(xué)校,每一位同學(xué)都將自主學(xué)習(xí)、快樂成長,獲得進(jìn)步;每一位同學(xué)都將揚(yáng)起夢想的風(fēng)帆,展現(xiàn)自信的風(fēng)采,走上成功的道路!今天,我們?yōu)樽约菏怯缹?shí)學(xué)校的一員感到自豪,不久的將來,永實(shí)學(xué)校將為有你們這樣一批優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生而感到驕傲!讓我們大聲地告訴自己:追逐夢想,我能行!
演講稿三:小學(xué)追逐夢想演講稿
大家好!
不知不覺中,加入到教育這個(gè)和諧大家庭,已經(jīng)有十七個(gè)年頭了。十七年來,我一直從事著班主任工作。應(yīng)該說,當(dāng)初,是帶著對教師這一職業(yè)的崇敬和向往,帶著青春的夢想和蓬勃的激情,踏進(jìn)了教育這片孕育未來希望的沃土。當(dāng)我穿過它前面簇?fù)淼幕ōh(huán),真正融身其中時(shí),才真切地發(fā)現(xiàn)區(qū)區(qū)三尺,學(xué)問非凡。是它,讓我學(xué)會了如何思考,如何實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的價(jià)值,如何締造一份幸福。
我認(rèn)為,作為班主任老師,孩子們在學(xué)校里的媽媽,我們更需要關(guān)心他們的精神需求。學(xué)校是一個(gè)文化場所,班級作為學(xué)校的一部分,更要有自己的文化,我所追求的班級文
化就是:學(xué)生快樂的成長,教師詩意的工作,家長幸福的參與,以及民主、和諧、書香彌漫的班級氛圍。
那么,如何讓孩子們浸潤書香,靜心閱讀,在書海中徜徉呢?首當(dāng)其沖的就是建立班級圖書角,為孩子們構(gòu)建一個(gè)閱讀的平臺,督促孩子認(rèn)真讀書,讀有所獲。我還記得王子昂同學(xué)在讀過《不知道的世界》之后寫道:生活中有多少我不知道的事情啊,在書中我都可以找到答案,書,真是我最好的老師!
我在班級里每周開設(shè)一節(jié)閱讀課,進(jìn)行班級共讀。兩年來,我和孩子們共讀了《蘋果樹上的外婆》《女巫》《一百條裙子》等十余本優(yōu)秀圖書。雖然不能一下子讓孩子明白很多道理,但會使他們有興趣親近文學(xué),親近閱讀,在閱讀中獲得優(yōu)雅的心情,滋養(yǎng)良好的情緒,很多的智慧和見解慢慢地浸潤著孩子的心靈,無聲無息地照亮著孩子們成長的路程。
作為班主任,我總是這樣想:我們要把眼光放遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)兒,關(guān)注孩子一生的發(fā)展,當(dāng)下為孩子們做點(diǎn)真真切切的實(shí)在事,讓他們?nèi)舾赡曛笠琅f惦記著我們,經(jīng)?;貞浿臀覀円黄鸲冗^的美好時(shí)光。我固執(zhí)地認(rèn)為:當(dāng)班主任的需要擁有一腔依戀的情懷,一份堅(jiān)守的情操,一種智慧的愛。只有不斷閱讀,不斷反思,傾心投入,教學(xué)相長,才能成為孩子們成長道路上的點(diǎn)燈人,感受和孩子共同成長的幸福。最后,我想借用溫家寶總理的詩作為我演講的結(jié)束語,和在座的同仁們共勉。篇三:責(zé)任、擔(dān)當(dāng)與夢想演講稿.doc 責(zé)任、擔(dān)當(dāng)與夢想
毛石鎮(zhèn)中心小學(xué) 黃萬鵬
尊敬的各位老師,親愛的同學(xué)們: 大家好!我叫黃萬鵬。很榮幸,我能代表毛石小學(xué)來參加這次演講比賽。此刻,我心潮澎湃,激動萬千。今天,我演講的題目是“責(zé)任、擔(dān)當(dāng)與夢想”??倳浱岢隽恕爸腥A強(qiáng)國夢”,“中國夢”,是國富民強(qiáng)之夢,是復(fù)興中華之夢,是讓偉大祖國雄踞于世界民族之林巔峰之夢。它激發(fā)了中華兒女濃濃的愛國情,凝聚了中華兒女拳拳的報(bào)國心,點(diǎn)燃了中華兒女為復(fù)興中華而奮斗的火花。代代炎黃孫,悠悠華夏情,實(shí)現(xiàn)中華偉大復(fù)興之夢,靠你,靠我,靠我們當(dāng)代有鴻鵠之志,有責(zé)任心,勇于擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)拿恳晃恢腥A兒女。
每當(dāng)提起我們的祖國,我們總會自豪地把祖國比作母親,就體現(xiàn)了炎黃子孫對祖國的無比眷戀與那份血濃于水的沉甸甸的至親至愛。作為新時(shí)代的小學(xué)生,我們又應(yīng)該為祖**親的復(fù)興做些什么呢?
我認(rèn)為,復(fù)興中華,我們就應(yīng)該從自我做起,從身邊的小事做起!我們已經(jīng)是五年級的學(xué)生了,應(yīng)該深知:有責(zé)任心,勇于擔(dān)當(dāng),才能實(shí)現(xiàn)我們心中的夢想,才能復(fù)興中華。說到責(zé)任心,一件往事至今仍令我記憶猶新,難以忘記。
那是我讀三年級的時(shí)候,我是班上的勞動委員。有一天,那是我的生日,爸爸許諾放學(xué)后要帶我去遵義吃我夢寐以求的肯德基。要知道,這對于我們大山里的孩子來說,真是一次十分難得的奢侈的享受。由于我一直沉浸在肯德基的誘惑之中,因此,放學(xué)后我就草草的安排了一下值日后就飛一般地跑回了家。那天的肯德基吃得可真香啦!可第二天發(fā)生了一件讓我至今都感到后悔的事:由于那天我擅自脫離崗位的不負(fù)責(zé)任,我們班的值日被黃牌警告,我心里難受極了。老師語重心長地對我說:“你身為勞動委員,就應(yīng)該以身作則,管理、監(jiān)督 好值日同學(xué)打掃衛(wèi)生是你的責(zé)任,不能私自脫離崗位。你看,你一走,隊(duì)員也就馬虎了事。希望你以后一定要記?。簾o論做什么事都要善始善終,有責(zé)任心!”聽了老師的話,我懊悔極了,在心里暗暗發(fā)誓:我一定要做一個(gè)有責(zé)任心的學(xué)生!
這件事過去很久了,但它讓我徹底懂得了什么是責(zé)任!什么叫擔(dān)當(dāng)!一個(gè)沒有責(zé)任心,沒有勇氣擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)娜耍椭荒茉趬粝肱c現(xiàn)實(shí)之間徘徊不定,躊躇不前,其結(jié)果只能是夢醒了而自己卻還在床上。一個(gè)有責(zé)任心,勇于擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)娜耍拍軐粝胱兂涩F(xiàn)實(shí),并讓現(xiàn)實(shí)不斷的超越一個(gè)個(gè)夢想。
從那以后,我知道了認(rèn)真寫好每一個(gè)字是責(zé)任;升國旗時(shí)肅立并敬禮是責(zé)任;彎腰撿起一張紙屑是責(zé)任;尊重他人的勞動成果是責(zé)任;在公交車上給老人讓座更是責(zé)任??這些舉手之勞的小事是我們新時(shí)代的小學(xué)生應(yīng)該做的,也是我們必須做的!因?yàn)樗俏覀儗?shí)現(xiàn)偉大夢想的基礎(chǔ)。
同學(xué)們,少年興則國興,少年強(qiáng)則國強(qiáng)。中華能否振興,祖國能否富強(qiáng),取決于我們大家能否肩負(fù)起時(shí)代的重托。我們要樹立起強(qiáng)烈的責(zé)任心,要勇于擔(dān)當(dāng),從自我做起,從小事做起,以實(shí)際行動實(shí)現(xiàn)總書記提出的“中華強(qiáng)國夢”。讓我們以飽滿的熱情,昂揚(yáng)的斗志,一起放飛中華偉大復(fù)興的新夢想!
我的演講到此結(jié)束,謝謝大家!篇四:小學(xué)生演講稿:我的理想
小學(xué)生演講稿:我的理想
小學(xué)生演講稿:我的理想
親愛的老師,同學(xué)們:
大家好!
一提到理想,每個(gè)人都有不同的想法。有的人想當(dāng)一名救死扶傷的白衣天使;有的人想當(dāng)一名燃燒自己、照亮別人的教師;還有的人想當(dāng)一名著名的科學(xué)家,研究科學(xué),造福人類。而我的理想是當(dāng)一名軍人。
當(dāng)災(zāi)難來臨時(shí),當(dāng)外地侵入時(shí),首當(dāng)其沖的就是軍人。軍人的天職不是保衛(wèi)自己,而是保衛(wèi)國家,保衛(wèi)人民。他們,沖鋒在戰(zhàn)場的最前沿,即使冒著槍林彈雨,也毫不畏懼。他們,出現(xiàn)在搶險(xiǎn)救災(zāi)的第一線,即使身處險(xiǎn)境,也毫不退縮!軍人是勇敢的,是不屈的,是無畏的!
有句俗話說得好:“當(dāng)兵,后悔兩年,不當(dāng)兵,后悔一輩子!”當(dāng)兵,不僅僅是為了保家衛(wèi)國,更是一種責(zé)任的體現(xiàn)。軍人,就是用自己的生命去奉獻(xiàn),筑起一道道國家的屏障,筑起一道道銅墻鐵壁。為了人民,甘于奉獻(xiàn),創(chuàng)造一個(gè)和平發(fā)展、安定和諧的社會。軍人是偉大的,是光榮的,即使戰(zhàn)死沙場,也雖死猶榮,重于泰山!
不想當(dāng)將軍的士兵,不是好兵。我不僅僅要當(dāng)一名好士兵,還要當(dāng)將軍,當(dāng)元帥。我要努力當(dāng)一名像拿破侖、巴頓、蒙哥馬利、艾森豪威爾、賀龍、劉伯承...那樣的著名將帥!
強(qiáng)將手下無弱兵,兵強(qiáng)則國強(qiáng)!我要帶著我的億萬雄兵奪回屬于我們的中國國土;我們要把侵略者、法西斯以及一切挑釁滋事、妄圖以經(jīng)濟(jì)、科技情報(bào)等非法手段侵略我國的不法分子統(tǒng)統(tǒng)趕出國門!就像電影《戰(zhàn)狼》中所說的,要讓他們永遠(yuǎn)記住:“犯我中華者,雖遠(yuǎn)必誅!”“永遠(yuǎn)不要小看中國,那是他們的禁地!”我相信,中國總有一天會“勝于歐洲!”會“雄于地球!”!
為了圓夢,我要不懈努力,發(fā)憤圖強(qiáng)!
為了夢圓,我要不不斷追求!不斷超越!
加油!拼搏!篇五:(小學(xué)生演講稿)樹立崇高的理想信念 踐行社會主義核心價(jià)值觀
樹立崇高的理想信念 踐行社會主義核心價(jià)值觀 各位老師、各位同學(xué): 大家好!今天我演講的題目是《樹立崇高的理想信念 踐行社會主義核心價(jià)值觀》。
說到社會主義核心價(jià)值觀,好像那是大人們才會有的概念。其實(shí),它一點(diǎn)也不神秘、一點(diǎn)也不遙遠(yuǎn)。那么,究竟什么是社會主義核心價(jià)值觀呢?黨的十八大報(bào)告用24個(gè)字精辟地概括了它的內(nèi)涵,就是“富強(qiáng)、民主、文明、和諧;自由、平等、公正、法治;愛國、敬業(yè)、誠信、友善。”老師教導(dǎo)我們時(shí),就經(jīng)常用到上面這些詞匯,尤其是其中的“愛國、文明、誠信、友善”,我們每個(gè)人都非常熟悉。
社會主義核心價(jià)值觀是當(dāng)代公民正確的價(jià)值取向。作為青少年,肩負(fù)著建設(shè)社會主義事業(yè)的光榮使命,我們當(dāng)然要樹立起社會主義核心價(jià)值觀,以實(shí)際行動踐行社會主義核心價(jià)值觀。
踐行社會主義核心價(jià)值觀,要求我們 青少年必須樹立崇高的理想信念。因?yàn)樯鐣髁x核心價(jià)值觀所凸顯的,就是理想信念的具體價(jià)值取向。樹立崇高的理想信念,找到自己的人生價(jià)值,才能真正做到踐行社會主義核心價(jià)值觀。
無數(shù)杰出的人都以對國家的責(zé)任、對社會的責(zé)任來鞭策自己,找到人生的價(jià)值,最終做出不平凡的事業(yè)。
爸爸經(jīng)常對我講,偉大的物理學(xué)家錢學(xué)森為了祖國的科
學(xué)事業(yè),毅然放棄在美國的優(yōu)越生活,選擇回到當(dāng)時(shí)還十分落后的祖國,飽含深情地為祖國的科技事業(yè)貢獻(xiàn)一生。這就是愛國主義價(jià)值觀的體現(xiàn),他值得我們每一位同學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。
前段時(shí)間,電視上報(bào)道一位名叫鄒碧華的上海法官,他勤奮工作,病倒在工作崗位上,最終獻(xiàn)出了自己的生命。他是為了法治、為了社會公正而燃盡生命,讓我非常受啟發(fā),他是最可愛的人。
還有無數(shù)平凡的人在自己平凡的崗位上默默奉獻(xiàn),默默踐行著社會主義核心價(jià)值觀。他們都是最可愛的人。
“今日之責(zé)任,不在他人,而全在我少年。少年智則國智,少年富則國富,少年強(qiáng)則國強(qiáng),少年獨(dú)立則國獨(dú)立,少年自由則國自由,少年進(jìn)步則國進(jìn)步?!?00年前,梁啟超先生已經(jīng)對我們青少年的光榮使命和人生價(jià)值做出了定位。
作為一名青少年學(xué)生,我們今天該怎樣肩負(fù)起自己的使命呢?那就是努力奮斗,讓中國變得更加富強(qiáng)、讓社會變得更加和諧。我會牢牢記住社會主義核心價(jià)值觀,在學(xué)習(xí)中不斷升華對它的理解,以那些“最可愛的人”為榜樣,樹立起為民族、為祖國而奮斗的崇高理想,堅(jiān)定信念,刻苦學(xué)習(xí),爭取對社會做出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。相信通過我們所有青少年的共同努力,我們的祖國會變得更加富強(qiáng),我們生活會處處充滿陽光。

Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)大家好!謝謝你們。謝謝你們。謝謝你們大家。好,大家請就坐。你們今天都好嗎?(掌聲)蒂姆·斯派塞(Tim Spicer)好嗎?(掌聲)我現(xiàn)在與弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學(xué)生們在一起。美國各地從小學(xué)預(yù)備班到中學(xué)12年級的學(xué)生正在收聽收看。我很高興大家今天都能參與。我還要感謝韋克菲爾德高中出色的組織安排。請為你們自己熱烈鼓掌。(掌聲)
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.我知道,今天是你們很多人開學(xué)的日子。對于進(jìn)入小學(xué)預(yù)備班、初中或高中的學(xué)生,今天是你們來到新學(xué)校的第一天,心里可能有點(diǎn)緊張,這是可以理解的。我能想象有些畢業(yè)班學(xué)生現(xiàn)在感覺很不錯(cuò)——(掌聲)——還有一年就畢業(yè)了。不論在哪個(gè)年級,你們有些人可能希望暑假更長一點(diǎn),今天早上還能多睡一小會兒。
I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.我了解這種感覺。我小時(shí)候,我們家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亞住了幾年。我媽媽沒有錢送我上其他美國孩子上的學(xué)校,但她認(rèn)為必須讓我接受美式教育。因此,她決定從周一到周五自己給我補(bǔ)課。不過她還要上班,所以只能在清晨四點(diǎn)半給我上課。
Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)你們可以想見,我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡著了。但每當(dāng)我抱怨的時(shí)候,我媽媽都會那樣地看我一眼,然后說:“小子,這對我也并不輕松?!保ㄐβ暎?/p>
So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.我知道你們有些人還在適應(yīng)開學(xué)后的生活。但我今天來到這里是因?yàn)橛兄匾氖虑橐湍銈冋f。我來這里是要和你們談?wù)勀銈兊慕逃龁栴},以及在這個(gè)新學(xué)年對你們所有人的期望。
Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.我做過很多次有關(guān)教育問題的演講。我多次談到過責(zé)任問題。
I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.我談到過教師激勵(lì)學(xué)生并督促他們學(xué)習(xí)的責(zé)任。I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.我談到過家長的責(zé)任,要確保你們走正路,完成家庭作業(yè),不要整天坐在電視前或玩Xbox游戲。I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working, where students aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve.我多次談到過政府的責(zé)任,要制定高標(biāo)準(zhǔn),支持教師和校長的工作,徹底改善不能為學(xué)生提供應(yīng)有機(jī)會的、教育質(zhì)量差的學(xué)校。
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.然而,即使我們擁有最敬業(yè)的教師,最盡力的家長和全世界最好的學(xué)?!绻銈兇蠹也宦男心銈兊呢?zé)任,不到校上課,不專心聽講,不聽家長、祖父祖母和其他大人的話,不付出取得成功所必須的勤奮努力,那么這一切都毫無用處,都無關(guān)緊要。這就是我今天講話的重點(diǎn):你們每個(gè)人對自己的教育應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。
I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you’re good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That’s the opportunity an education can provide.我首先要講講你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。你們每個(gè)人都有自己的長處。你們每個(gè)人都能做出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任是發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的能力所在。而教育能夠提供這樣的機(jī)會。
Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that’s assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.你或許能成為一名出色的作家——甚至可能寫書或在報(bào)紙上發(fā)表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文課的作文后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名創(chuàng)新者或發(fā)明家——甚至可能設(shè)計(jì)出新一代iPhone或研制出新型藥物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成科學(xué)課的實(shí)驗(yàn)后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名市長或參議員或最高法院的大法官——但你可能要在參加學(xué)生會的工作或辯論隊(duì)后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。
And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you’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? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You’ve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.不論你的生活志向是什么,我敢肯定你必須上學(xué)讀書才能實(shí)現(xiàn)它。你想當(dāng)醫(yī)生、教師或警官嗎?你想當(dāng)護(hù)士、建筑師、律師或軍人嗎?你必須接受良好的教育,才能從事上述任何一種職業(yè)。你不能指望輟學(xué)后能碰上個(gè)好工作。你必須接受培訓(xùn),為之努力,為之學(xué)習(xí)。And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.這并非只對你個(gè)人的人生和未來意義重大??梢院敛豢浯蟮卣f,教育給你帶來的益處將決定這個(gè)國家的未來。美國的未來取決于你們。你們今日在校學(xué)習(xí)的知識將決定我們作為一個(gè)國家是否能夠迎接我們未來所面臨的最嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)。
You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You’ll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.你們將需要利用你們通過自然科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)課程所學(xué)到的知識和解決問題的能力來治愈癌癥、艾滋病及其他疾病,開發(fā)新的能源技術(shù)和保護(hù)我們的環(huán)境。你們將需要利用你們在歷史學(xué)和社會學(xué)課堂上所獲得的知識和獨(dú)立思考能力來抗擊貧困和解決無家可歸問題,打擊犯罪和消除歧視,使我們的國家更公平、更自由。你們將需要利用你們在所有課堂上培養(yǎng)的創(chuàng)造力和智慧來創(chuàng)辦新公司,增加就業(yè)機(jī)會,振興我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)。
We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don’t do that--if you quit on school--you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.我們需要你們每個(gè)人發(fā)揮你們的聰明才智和技能,以便幫助老一輩人解決我們面臨的最棘手問題。如果你們不這樣做,如果你們輟學(xué),你們不僅僅是自暴自棄,也是拋棄自己的國家。
Now, I know its not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.我自然知道要做到學(xué)業(yè)優(yōu)秀并非總是易事。我知道你們許多人在生活中面臨挑戰(zhàn),難以集中精力從事學(xué)業(yè)。
I get it.I know what it’s like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raisedby a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn’t fit in.我明白這一點(diǎn)。我有親身感受。兩歲時(shí),我父親離家而去,我是由一位單親母親撫養(yǎng)成人的,母親不得不工作,并時(shí)常為支付生活費(fèi)用而苦苦掙扎,但有時(shí)仍無法為我們提供其他孩子享有的東西。有時(shí),我渴望生活中能有一位父親。有時(shí)我感到孤獨(dú),感到自己不適應(yīng)社會。So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I’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.我并非總是像我應(yīng)該做到的那樣專心學(xué)習(xí),我也曾做過我如今不能引以為豪的一些事情,我曾惹過不應(yīng)該惹的麻煩。我的人生原本會輕易陷入更糟糕的境地。
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 didn’t have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.但是,我當(dāng)年際遇不錯(cuò)。我有過許多第二次機(jī)會,我有幸能上大學(xué),上法學(xué)院,追求自己的理想。我的妻子,我們的第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬,也有著類似的經(jīng)歷。她的父母都未曾上過大學(xué),家里很窮。但他們非常勤奮,她也是如此,因此她得以進(jìn)入一些美國最好的學(xué)校。Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there’s not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right.你們中有一些人可能沒有那些有利條件?;蛟S你們生活中沒有成年人為你們提供你們所需要的支持?;蛟S你們家中有人失業(yè),經(jīng)濟(jì)非常拮據(jù)?;蛟S你們生活在使你們感覺不安全的社區(qū),或有朋友逼迫你們?nèi)プ瞿銈冎啦粚Φ氖虑椤?/p>
But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.然而說到底,你們生活的環(huán)境、你們的膚色、你們的原籍、你們的經(jīng)濟(jì)收入、你們家中的境況等等,這一切都不能成為你們不用功或不努力的理由。你們沒有理由不服從你們的老師、逃學(xué)、或輟學(xué)。沒有理由不付出努力。
Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up.No one’s written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.你們目前的狀況并不決定著你們的未來。沒有人決定你們的命運(yùn),在美國,你們決定自己的命運(yùn)。你們掌握自己的未來。That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.這就是像你們這樣的年輕人每天都在做的事情,全美各地都是如此。標(biāo)。你的目標(biāo)可以是一件十分簡單的事情,例如完成家庭作業(yè)、上課專心聽講、或每天花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間讀一本書。也許你會決定要參加課外活動或在你的社區(qū)提供志愿服務(wù)。也許你會決定挺身而出保護(hù)那些因?yàn)樯矸莼蜷L相而受人戲弄或欺負(fù)的孩子,原因是你和我一樣認(rèn)為所有的年輕人都應(yīng)該享有一個(gè)適合讀書和學(xué)習(xí)的安全環(huán)境。也許你會決定更好地照料自己,以便有更充沛的精力來學(xué)習(xí)。順便提一下,除了這些事情外,我希望大家要勤洗手,身體感到不舒服的時(shí)候要呆在家里不去上學(xué),這樣我們能防止人們在今年秋冬季節(jié)染上流感。
But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.但無論你決定做什么,我希望你保證去做。我希望你腳踏實(shí)地地去做。
I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.我知道有時(shí)候你會從電視上得到這樣的印象:你不用做任何艱苦的工作就能發(fā)財(cái)致富并取得成功,唱小調(diào)、打籃球或成為真人秀明星是走向成功的途徑。但實(shí)際情況是:你可能不會成為其中的一員。
The truth is, being successful is hard.You won’t love every subject that you study.You won’t click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.事實(shí)上,取得成功不是輕而易舉的事情。你不會喜歡你學(xué)習(xí)的每一門課目。你不會與你的每一位老師都很投契。不是所有的家庭作業(yè)似乎都與你眼前的生活完全有關(guān)。你第一次嘗試做每件事的時(shí)候,不一定成功。
That’s okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures.J.K.Rowling’s--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that’s why I succeed.”
這些都沒關(guān)系。世界上最成功的人士中有一些是遭遇失敗最多的人。作者J?K?羅琳(J.K.Rowling)所寫的系列小說《哈利?波特》(Harry Potter)第一部在獲得出版之前被退稿12次。邁克爾?喬丹(Michael Jordan)曾被他的高中籃球隊(duì)除名。在喬丹的籃球生涯中,他輸過數(shù)百場比賽,有成千上萬個(gè)球沒有投中。但他曾說過:“在我的一生中,我失敗了一次又一次、一次又一次。這就是我成功的原因?!?/p>
These people succeeded because they understood that you can’t let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.這些人士獲得成功,因?yàn)樗麄兌茫耗悴荒茏屖硐拗颇?,而必須讓失敗來開導(dǎo)你。你必須讓失敗向你展示下次如何以不同的方式去做這件事情。因此,如果你遇到麻煩,那并不表示你是麻煩的制造者,而意味著你需要更加努力去把它做對。如果你有一門課分?jǐn)?shù)低,那不表示你比別人笨,而只表示你需要花更多的時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)。
No one’s born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song.You’ve got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.沒有一個(gè)人天生擅長做各種事情。你通過勤奮而變得擅長于各種事情。第一次從事新的體育項(xiàng)目時(shí),你不可能是一位主力隊(duì)員。第一次唱一首歌曲時(shí),你不可能唱準(zhǔn)每個(gè)音。你必須練習(xí)。同樣的道理適用于你的學(xué)業(yè)。你可能要把一道數(shù)學(xué)題做幾次才把它做對。你可能要把一些材料閱讀幾遍才能理解。在交出一篇優(yōu)美的作文之前,你肯定需要打幾遍草稿。
Don’t be afraid to ask questions.Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.不要害怕提問。不要在需要幫助時(shí)害怕請求別人幫助。我天天請求別人的幫助。請求幫助不是軟弱的表現(xiàn),它是力量的標(biāo)志,因?yàn)樗砻髂阌杏職獬姓J(rèn)自己對某些事情不懂,這樣做會使你學(xué)到新的東西。因此,請確定一位你信任的成年人,例如家長、祖父母或老師、教練或輔導(dǎo)員,請他們幫助你遵循既定計(jì)劃實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)。
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don’t ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.即使當(dāng)你苦苦掙扎、灰心喪氣、感到其他人對你不抱希望時(shí),也不要對你自己喪失信心,因?yàn)楫?dāng)你自暴自棄時(shí),你也拋棄了自己的國家。The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough.It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.書寫美國歷史的不是在困難時(shí)刻退縮的人,而是堅(jiān)持不懈、加倍努力的人,他們對國家的愛促使他們?nèi)σ愿啊t’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.書寫美國歷史的是250年前坐在你們的位置上的學(xué)生,他們后來進(jìn)行了獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭并創(chuàng)建了這個(gè)國家。還有75年前坐在你們的位置上的年輕人和學(xué)生,他們走出了大蕭條并打贏了一場世界大戰(zhàn);他們?yōu)槊駲?quán)而奮斗并把宇航員送上了月球。至于20年前坐在你們的位置上的學(xué)生,他們創(chuàng)辦了谷歌(Google)、嘰喳網(wǎng)(Twitter)和臉譜網(wǎng)(Facebook),改變了我們交流溝通的方式。
So today, I want to ask all of you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country? 而今天,我要問問你們大家,你們將做出什么貢獻(xiàn)?你們將解決什么問題?你們將有什么發(fā)現(xiàn)?20年、50年或100年后來到這里講話的總統(tǒng)將會怎樣評價(jià)你們大家為這個(gè)國家所做的一切?
Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you’ve got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don’t let us down.Don’t let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don’t let yourself down.Make us all proud.你們的家人、你們的老師和我正在竭盡全力保證你們接受必要的教育,以便回答上述問題。我正在努力工作,以便你們的教室得到修繕,你們能夠得到學(xué)習(xí)所需的課本、設(shè)備和電腦。但你們也必須盡自己的努力。因此,我希望你們大家從今年起認(rèn)真對待這個(gè)問題。我希望你們盡最大努力做好每一件事。我希望你們每個(gè)人都有出色的表現(xiàn)。不要讓我們失望。不要讓你們的家人或你們的國家失望。而最重要的是,不要辜負(fù)你們自己,而要讓我們都能[為你們]感到驕傲。
Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)非常感謝你們大家。愿主保佑你們。愿主保佑美國。謝謝你們。(掌聲)
第三篇:奧巴馬演講 夢想與責(zé)任
奧巴馬送給美國學(xué)生的演講《夢想與責(zé)任》
Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today? How about Tim Spicer? I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.大家好!謝謝你們。謝謝你們。謝謝你們大家。好,大家請就坐。你們今天都好嗎?蒂姆?斯派塞(Tim Spicer)好嗎?我現(xiàn)在與弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學(xué)生們在一起。美國各地從小學(xué)預(yù)備班到中學(xué)12年級的學(xué)生正在收聽收看。我很高興大家今天都能參與。我還要感謝韋克菲爾德高中出色的組織安排。請為你們自己熱烈鼓掌。I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.我知道,今天是你們很多人開學(xué)的日子。對于進(jìn)入小學(xué)預(yù)備班、初中或高中的學(xué)生,今天是你們來到新學(xué)校的第一天,心里可能有點(diǎn)緊張,這是可以理解的。我能想象有些畢業(yè)班學(xué)生現(xiàn)在感覺很不錯(cuò)——還有一年就畢業(yè)了。不論在哪個(gè)年級,你們有些人可能希望暑假更長一點(diǎn),今天早上還能多睡一小會兒。
I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.我了解這種感覺。我小時(shí)候,我們家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亞住了幾年。我媽媽沒有錢送我上其他美國孩子上的學(xué)校,但她認(rèn)為必須讓我接受美式教育。因此,她決定從周一到周五自己給我補(bǔ)課。不過她還要上班,所以只能在清晨四點(diǎn)半給我上課。Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)你們可以想見,我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡著了。但每當(dāng)我抱怨的時(shí)候,我媽媽都會那樣地看我一眼,然后說:“小子,這對我也并不輕松?!保ㄐβ暎?/p>
So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.我知道你們有些人還在適應(yīng)開學(xué)后的生活。但我今天來到這里是因?yàn)橛兄匾氖虑橐湍銈冋f。我來這里是要和你們談?wù)勀銈兊慕逃龁栴},以及在這個(gè)新學(xué)年對你們所有人的期望。
Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.我做過很多次有關(guān)教育問題的演講。我多次談到過責(zé)任問題。
I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.我談到過教師激勵(lì)學(xué)生并督促他們學(xué)習(xí)的責(zé)任。
I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.我談到過家長的責(zé)任,要確保你們走正路,完成家庭作業(yè),不要整天坐在電視前或玩Xbox游戲。
I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working, where students aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve.我多次談到過政府的責(zé)任,要制定高標(biāo)準(zhǔn),支持教師和校長的工作,徹底改善不能為學(xué)生提供應(yīng)有機(jī)會的、教育質(zhì)量差的學(xué)校。
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.然而,即使我們擁有最敬業(yè)的教師,最盡力的家長和全世界最好的學(xué)?!绻銈兇蠹也宦男心銈兊呢?zé)任,不到校上課,不專心聽講,不聽家長、祖父祖母和其他大人的話,不付出取得成功所必須的勤奮努力,那么這一切都毫無用處,都無關(guān)緊要。這就是我今天講話的重點(diǎn):你們每個(gè)人對自己的教育應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。
I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you’re good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That’s the opportunity an education can provide.我首先要講講你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。你們每個(gè)人都有自己的長處。你們每個(gè)人都能做出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任是發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的能力所在。而教育能夠提供這樣的機(jī)會。
Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that’s assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.你或許能成為一名出色的作家——甚至可能寫書或在報(bào)紙上發(fā)表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文課的作文后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名創(chuàng)新者或發(fā)明家——甚至可能設(shè)計(jì)出新一代iPhone或研制出新型藥物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成科學(xué)課的實(shí)驗(yàn)后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名市長或參議員或最高法院的大法官——但你可能要在參加學(xué)生會的工作或辯論隊(duì)后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。
And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you’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? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You’ve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.不論你的生活志向是什么,我敢肯定你必須上學(xué)讀書才能實(shí)現(xiàn)它。你想當(dāng)醫(yī)生、教師或警官嗎?你想當(dāng)護(hù)士、建筑師、律師或軍人嗎?你必須接受良好的教育,才能從事上述任何一種職業(yè)。你不能指望輟學(xué)后能碰上個(gè)好工作。你必須接受培訓(xùn),為之努力,為之學(xué)習(xí)。
And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.這并非只對你個(gè)人的人生和未來意義重大??梢院敛豢浯蟮卣f,教育給你帶來的益處將決定這個(gè)國家的未來。美國的未來取決于你們。你們今日在校學(xué)習(xí)的知識將決定我們作為一個(gè)國家是否能夠迎接我們未來所面臨的最嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)。
You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You’ll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.你們將需要利用你們通過自然科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)課程所學(xué)到的知識和解決問題的能力來治愈癌癥、艾滋病及其他疾病,開發(fā)新的能源技術(shù)和保護(hù)我們的環(huán)境。你們將需要利用你們在歷史學(xué)和社會學(xué)課堂上所獲得的知識和獨(dú)立思考能力來抗擊貧困和解決無家可歸問題,打擊犯罪和消除歧視,使我們的國家更公平、更自由。你們將需要利用你們在所有課堂上培養(yǎng)的創(chuàng)造力和智慧來創(chuàng)辦新公司,增加就業(yè)機(jī)會,振興我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)。
We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don’t do that--if you quit on school--you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.我們需要你們每個(gè)人發(fā)揮你們的聰明才智和技能,以便幫助老一輩人解決我們面臨的最棘手問題。如果你們不這樣做,如果你們輟學(xué),你們不僅僅是自暴自棄,也是拋棄自己的國家。Now, I know it’s not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.我自然知道要做到學(xué)業(yè)優(yōu)秀并非總是易事。我知道你們許多人在生活中面臨挑戰(zhàn),難以集中精力從事學(xué)業(yè)。
I get it.I know what it’s like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn’t fit in.我明白這一點(diǎn)。我有親身感受。兩歲時(shí),我父親離家而去,我是由一位單親母親撫養(yǎng)成人的,母親不得不工作,并時(shí)常為支付生活費(fèi)用而苦苦掙扎,但有時(shí)仍無法為我們提供其他孩子享有的東西。有時(shí),我渴望生活中能有一位父親。有時(shí)我感到孤獨(dú),感到自己不適應(yīng)社會。
So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I’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.我并非總是像我應(yīng)該做到的那樣專心學(xué)習(xí),我也曾做過我如今不能引以為豪的一些事情,我曾惹過不應(yīng)該惹的麻煩。我的人生原本會輕易陷入更糟糕的境地。
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 didn’t have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.但是,我當(dāng)年際遇不錯(cuò)。我有過許多第二次機(jī)會,我有幸能上大學(xué),上法學(xué)院,追求自己的理想。我的妻子,我們的第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬,也有著類似的經(jīng)歷。她的父母都未曾上過大學(xué),家里很窮。但他們非常勤奮,她也是如此,因此她得以進(jìn)入一些美國最好的學(xué)校。
Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there’s not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.你們中有一些人可能沒有那些有利條件?;蛟S你們生活中沒有成年人為你們提供你們所需要的支持?;蛟S你們家中有人失業(yè),經(jīng)濟(jì)非常拮據(jù)?;蛟S你們生活在使你們感覺不安全的社區(qū),或有朋友逼迫你們?nèi)プ瞿銈冎啦粚Φ氖虑椤?/p>
But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.然而說到底,你們生活的環(huán)境、你們的膚色、你們的原籍、你們的經(jīng)濟(jì)收入、你們家中的境況等等,這一切都不能成為你們不用功或不努力的理由。你們沒有理由不服從你們的老師、逃學(xué)、或輟學(xué)。沒有理由不付出努力。Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up.No one’s written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.你們目前的狀況并不決定著你們的未來。沒有人決定你們的命運(yùn),在美國,你們決定自己的命運(yùn)。你們掌握自己的未來。
That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.這就是像你們這樣的年輕人每天都在做的事情,全美各地都是如此。
Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University--is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.來自得州羅馬城的賈茲敏?佩雷斯(Jazmin Perez)就是一個(gè)例證,她剛開始上學(xué)時(shí)并不會說英文。她的父母都沒有上過大學(xué)。然而,她非常勤奮,成績優(yōu)秀,獲得了布朗大學(xué)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,她如今正在讀研究生,攻讀公共衛(wèi)生專業(yè),不久將成為賈茲敏?佩雷斯博士。I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who’s fought brain cancer since he was three.He’s had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer--hundreds of extra hours--to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He’s headed to college this fall.我想起了加州洛斯阿爾托斯城的安多尼?舒爾茨(Andoni Schultz),他從三歲開始就一直與腦癌進(jìn)行抗?fàn)?,他不得不忍受各類治療和手術(shù)帶來的痛苦,其中一項(xiàng)手術(shù)曾影響了他的記憶,因此他花在功課上的時(shí)間比一般人長得多,要多出數(shù)百個(gè)小時(shí)。然而,他從未落后。他今年秋季將邁進(jìn)大學(xué)。
And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she’s on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.我還想起家鄉(xiāng)伊利諾伊州芝加哥市的尚特爾?史蒂夫(Shantell Steve)。她曾在芝加哥最困難的社區(qū)生活,寄養(yǎng)于多個(gè)不同的家庭,但她最終在一家地方醫(yī)療中心找到工作,并開始了一項(xiàng)幫助年輕人遠(yuǎn)離流氓團(tuán)伙的計(jì)劃,她即將以優(yōu)異成績從中學(xué)畢業(yè),緊接著將上大學(xué)。
And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they’ve got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.賈茲敏、安多尼和尚特爾與你們中間的每個(gè)人沒什么兩樣。跟你們一樣,他們在生活中面臨種種挑戰(zhàn)。在某些情況下,他們的處境比起你們許多人更差。但他們拒絕放棄。他們決定要為自己的一生、自己的教育負(fù)起責(zé)任,為自己設(shè)定各項(xiàng)奮斗目標(biāo)。我期待你們大家都會這樣做。
That’s why today I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education--and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.因此,我今天呼吁你們每一個(gè)人為自己的教育設(shè)定目標(biāo),并盡自己的最大努力來實(shí)現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo)。你的目標(biāo)可以是一件十分簡單的事情,例如完成家庭作業(yè)、上課專心聽講、或每天花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間讀一本書。也許你會決定要參加課外活動或在你的社區(qū)提供志愿服務(wù)。也許你會決定挺身而出保護(hù)那些因?yàn)樯矸莼蜷L相而受人戲弄或欺負(fù)的孩子,原因是你和我一樣認(rèn)為所有的年輕人都應(yīng)該享有一個(gè)適合讀書和學(xué)習(xí)的安全環(huán)境。也許你會決定更好地照料自己,以便有更充沛的精力來學(xué)習(xí)。順便提一下,除了這些事情外,我希望大家要勤洗手,身體感到不舒服的時(shí)候要呆在家里不去上學(xué),這樣我們能防止人們在今年秋冬季節(jié)染上流感。
But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.但無論你決定做什么,我希望你保證去做。我希望你腳踏實(shí)地地去做。I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.我知道有時(shí)候你會從電視上得到這樣的印象:你不用做任何艱苦的工作就能發(fā)財(cái)致富并取得成功,唱小調(diào)、打籃球或成為真人秀明星是走向成功的途徑。但實(shí)際情況是:你可能不會成為其中的一員。
The truth is, being successful is hard.You won’t love every subject that you study.You won’t click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.事實(shí)上,取得成功不是輕而易舉的事情。你不會喜歡你學(xué)習(xí)的每一門課目。你不會與你的每一位老師都很投契。不是所有的家庭作業(yè)似乎都與你眼前的生活完全有關(guān)。你第一次嘗試做每件事的時(shí)候,不一定成功。
That’s okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures.J.K.Rowling’s--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that’s why I succeed.”
這些都沒關(guān)系。世界上最成功的人士中有一些是遭遇失敗最多的人。作者J?K?羅琳(J.K.Rowling)所寫的系列小說《哈利?波特》(Harry Potter)第一部在獲得出版之前被退稿12次。邁克爾?喬丹(Michael Jordan)曾被他的高中籃球隊(duì)除名。在喬丹的籃球生涯中,他輸過數(shù)百場比賽,有成千上萬個(gè)球沒有投中。但他曾說過:“在我的一生中,我失敗了一次又一次、一次又一次。這就是我成功的原因?!?These people succeeded because they understood that you can’t let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.這些人士獲得成功,因?yàn)樗麄兌茫耗悴荒茏屖硐拗颇?,而必須讓失敗來開導(dǎo)你。你必須讓失敗向你展示下次如何以不同的方式去做這件事情。因此,如果你遇到麻煩,那并不表示你是麻煩的制造者,而意味著你需要更加努力去把它做對。如果你有一門課分?jǐn)?shù)低,那不表示你比別人笨,而只表示你需要花更多的時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)。
No one’s born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song.You’ve got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.沒有一個(gè)人天生擅長做各種事情。你通過勤奮而變得擅長于各種事情。第一次從事新的體育項(xiàng)目時(shí),你不可能是一位主力隊(duì)員。第一次唱一首歌曲時(shí),你不可能唱準(zhǔn)每個(gè)音。你必須練習(xí)。同樣的道理適用于你的學(xué)業(yè)。你可能要把一道數(shù)學(xué)題做幾次才把它做對。你可能要把一些材料閱讀幾遍才能理解。在交出一篇優(yōu)美的作文之前,你肯定需要打幾遍草稿。Don’t be afraid to ask questions.Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.不要害怕提問。不要在需要幫助時(shí)害怕請求別人幫助。我天天請求別人的幫助。請求幫助不是軟弱的表現(xiàn),它是力量的標(biāo)志,因?yàn)樗砻髂阌杏職獬姓J(rèn)自己對某些事情不懂,這樣做會使你學(xué)到新的東西。因此,請確定一位你信任的成年人,例如家長、祖父母或老師、教練或輔導(dǎo)員,請他們幫助你遵循既定計(jì)劃實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)。
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don’t ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.即使當(dāng)你苦苦掙扎、灰心喪氣、感到其他人對你不抱希望時(shí),也不要對你自己喪失信心,因?yàn)楫?dāng)你自暴自棄時(shí),你也拋棄了自己的國家。
The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough.It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.書寫美國歷史的不是在困難時(shí)刻退縮的人,而是堅(jiān)持不懈、加倍努力的人,他們對國家的愛促使他們?nèi)σ愿啊?/p>
It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.書寫美國歷史的是250年前坐在你們的位置上的學(xué)生,他們后來進(jìn)行了獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭并創(chuàng)建了這個(gè)國家。還有75年前坐在你們的位置上的年輕人和學(xué)生,他們走出了大蕭條并打贏了一場世界大戰(zhàn);他們?yōu)槊駲?quán)而奮斗并把宇航員送上了月球。至于20年前坐在你們的位置上的學(xué)生,他們創(chuàng)辦了谷歌(Google)、嘰喳網(wǎng)(Twitter)和臉譜網(wǎng)(Facebook),改變了我們交流溝通的方式。
So today, I want to ask all of you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country? 而今天,我要問問你們大家,你們將做出什么貢獻(xiàn)?你們將解決什么問題?你們將有什么發(fā)現(xiàn)?20年、50年或100年后來到這里講話的總統(tǒng)將會怎樣評價(jià)你們大家為這個(gè)國家所做的一切?
Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you’ve got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don’t let us down.Don’t let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don’t let yourself down.Make us all proud.你們的家人、你們的老師和我正在竭盡全力保證你們接受必要的教育,以便回答上述問題。我正在努力工作,以便你們的教室得到修繕,你們能夠得到學(xué)習(xí)所需的課本、設(shè)備和電腦。但你們也必須盡自己的努力。因此,我希望你們大家從今年起認(rèn)真對待這個(gè)問題。我希望你們盡最大努力做好每一件事。我希望你們每個(gè)人都有出色的表現(xiàn)。不要讓我們失望。不要讓你們的家人或你們的國家失望。而最重要的是,不要辜負(fù)你們自己,而要讓我們都能[為你們]感到驕傲。
Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.非常感謝你們大家。愿主保佑你們。愿主保佑美國。謝謝你們。
第四篇:奧巴馬校園演講《責(zé)任與夢想》
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'S SCHOOLCHILDREN
Wakefield High School Arlington, Virginia
12:06 P.M.EDT THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education.And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you're good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that's assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'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? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers.You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job.You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future.What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.The future of America depends on you.What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.If you don't do that--if you quit on school--you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school.I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it.I know what it's like.My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had.There were times when I missed having a father in my life.There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'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 didn't have a lot of money.But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.Some of you might not have those advantages.Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need.Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around.Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life--what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home--none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.There is no excuse for not trying.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas.Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school.Neither of her parents had gone to college.But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University--is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr.Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three.He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer--hundreds of extra hours--to do his schoolwork.But he never fell behind.He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you.They face challenges in their lives just like you do.In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you.But they refused to give up.They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves.And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education--and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book.Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard.You won't love every subject that you study.You won't click with every teacher that you have.Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute.And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay.Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures.J.K.Rowling's--who wrote Harry Potter--her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published.Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life.And that's why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions.Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough.It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country? Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you've got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don't let us down.Don't let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don't let yourself down.Make us all proud.Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)END 12:22 P.M.EDT
第五篇:責(zé)任與夢想
夢想與責(zé)任
前幾天看到的一個(gè)大學(xué)生籌建希望小學(xué)的報(bào)道,深深感動了我。賈凡,一位不平凡的大學(xué)生。他和他的同學(xué)們,動員了20余所高校、中學(xué),2000多名大學(xué)生、中學(xué)生,百余萬愛心市民,募集了100萬元,為貴州大山里的孩子,籌資建設(shè)了一所希望小學(xué)。在賈凡身上,生動的體現(xiàn)出了夢想與責(zé)任的交融。
蒲松齡的自勉聯(lián)寫到:有志者,事竟成,破釜沉舟,百二秦關(guān)終屬楚;苦心人,天不負(fù),臥薪嘗膽,三千越甲可吞吳。所謂志,是志向,也是夢想。人生中的大多數(shù)人,都被生活的重負(fù)壓在身上,如同一塊巨石壓身,喘不過氣來。的確,我們的生活太沉重了,身心常有疲憊之感。但是又不能不為自己的前途靜下心來,去尋找出路。人生之所以迷茫,歸根結(jié)底主要是沒有遠(yuǎn)大的志向和為之奮斗的明確目標(biāo)。沒有人生的目標(biāo),只會停留在原地;沒有遠(yuǎn)大的志向,只會變得慵懶,變得聽天由命,嘆息茫然。
但是,夢想雖然美好,同時(shí)也是虛無縹緲的。若想讓夢想放出光芒,需要付出艱辛的勞動,甚至是一生的努力。我相信責(zé)任可以守住夢想,責(zé)任是每個(gè)人奮斗的意義,是內(nèi)心的良知,責(zé)任讓我們時(shí)時(shí)不忘我們該做什么,我們需要做什么,因?yàn)橹挥胸?zé)任才能激發(fā)人的潛能,喚醒人的良知。在這個(gè)飛速發(fā)展的時(shí)代,任何人任何時(shí)候都應(yīng)該義不容辭的擔(dān)負(fù)和履行自己的職責(zé)。只有勇于承擔(dān)責(zé)任,才能得到別人的信任和尊重,獲得生命的成就感和自豪感,才能完成我們的夢想。
用一顆負(fù)責(zé)的心去完成我們的夢想,放飛我們的夢!
