Remarks of Senator Barack Obama Vice President Announcement

As Prepared For Delivery Springfield, Illinois August 23, 2008

Nineteen months ago, on a cold February day right here on the steps of the Old State Capitol, I stood before you to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America.We started this journey with a simple belief: that the American people were better than their government in Washington – a government that has fallen prey to special interests and policies that have left working people behind.As I’ve traveled to towns and cities, farms and factories, front porches and fairgrounds in almost all fifty states – that belief has been strengthened.Because at this defining moment in our history – with our nation at war, and our economy in recession – we know that the American people cannot afford four more years of the same failed policies and the same old politics in Washington.We know that the time for change has come.For months, I’ve searched for a leader to finish this journey alongside me, and to join in me in making Washington work for the American people.I searched for a leader who understands the rising costs confronting working people, and who will always put their dreams first.A leader who sees clearly the challenges facing America in a changing world, with our security and standing set back by eight years of a failed foreign policy.A leader who shares my vision of an open government that calls all citizens – Democrats, Republicans and Independents – to a common purpose.Above all, I searched for a leader who is ready to step in and be President.Today, I have come back to Springfield to tell you that I’ve found that leader – a man with a distinguished record and a fundamental decency – Joe Biden.Joe Biden is that rare mix – for decades, he has brought change to Washington, but Washington hasn’t changed him.He’s an expert on foreign policy whose heart and values are rooted firmly in the middle class.He has stared down dictators and spoken out for America's cops and firefighters.He is uniquely suited to be my partner as we work to put our country back on track.Now I could stand here and recite a list of Senator Biden’s achievements, because he is one of the finest public servants of our time.But first I want to talk to you about the character of the man standing next to me.Joe Biden’s many triumphs have only come after great trial.He was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania.His family didn’t have much money.Joe Sr.worked different jobs, from cleaning boilers to selling cars, sometimes moving in with the in-laws or working weekends to make ends meet.But he raised his family with a strong commitment to work and to family;to the Catholic faith and to the belief that in America, you can make it if you try.Those are the core values that Joe Biden has carried with him to this day.And even though Joe Sr.is not with us, I know that he is proud of Joe today.It might be hard to believe when you hear him talk now, but as a child he had a terrible stutter.They called him “Bu-bu-Biden.” But he picked himself up, worked harder than the other guy, and got elected to the Senate – a young man with a family and a seemingly limitless future.Then tragedy struck.Joe’s wife Neilia and their little girl Naomi were killed in a car accident, and their two boys were badly hurt.When Joe was sworn in as a Senator, there was no ceremony in the Capitol – instead, he was standing by his sons in the hospital room where they were recovering.He was 30 years old.Tragedy tests us – it tests our fortitude and it tests our faith.Here’s how Joe Biden responded.He never moved to Washington.Instead, night after night, week after week, year after year, he returned home to Wilmington on a lonely Amtrak train when his Senate business was done.He raised his boys – first as a single dad, then alongside his wonderful wife Jill, who works as a teacher.He had a beautiful daughter.Now his children are grown and Joe is blessed with 5grandchildren.He instilled in them such a sense of public service that his son, Beau, who is now Delaware’s Attorney General, is getting ready to deploy to Iraq.And he still takes that train back to Wilmington every night.Out of the heartbreak of that unspeakable accident, he did more than become a Senator – he raised a family.That is the measure of the man standing next to me.That is the character of Joe Biden.Years later, Senator Biden would face another brush with death when he had a brain aneurysm.On the way to the hospital, they didn’t think he was going to make it.They gave him slim odds to recover.But he did.He beat it.And he came back stronger than before.Maybe it’s this resilience – this insistence on overcoming adversity – that accounts for Joe Biden’s work in the Senate.Time and again, he has made a difference for the people across this country who work long hours and face long odds.This working class kid from Scranton and Wilmington has always been a friend to the underdog, and all who seek a safer and more prosperous America to live their dreams and raise their families.Fifteen years ago, too many American communities were plagued by violence and insecurity.So Joe Biden brought Democrats and Republicans together to pass the 1994 Crime Bill, putting 100,000 cops on the streets, and starting an eight year drop in crime across the country.For far too long, millions of women suffered abuse in the shadows.So Joe Biden wrote the Violence Against Women Act, so every woman would have a place to turn for support.The rate of domestic violence went down dramatically, and countless women got a second chance at life.Year after year, he has been at the forefront of the fight for judges who respect the fundamental rights and liberties of the American people;college tuition that is affordable for all;equal pay for women and a rising minimum wage for all;and family leave policies that value work and family.Those are the priorities of a man whose work reflects his life and his values.That same strength of character is at the core of his rise to become one of America’s leading voices on national security.He looked Slobodan Milosevic in the eye and called him a war criminal, and then helped shape policies that would end the killing in the Balkans and bring him to justice.He passed laws to lock down chemical weapons, and led the push to bring Europe’s newest democracies into NATO.Over the last eight years, he has been a powerful critic of the catastrophic Bush-McCain foreign policy, and a voice for a new direction that takes the fight to the terrorists and ends the war in Iraq responsibly.He recently went to Georgia, where he met quietly with the President and came back with a call for aid and a tough message for Russia.Joe Biden is what so many others pretend to be – a statesman with sound judgment who doesn’t have to hide behind bluster to keep America strong.Joe won’t just make a good Vice President – he will make a great one.After decades of steady work across the aisle, I know he’ll be able to help me turn the page on the ugly partisanship in Washington, so we can bring Democrats and Republicans together to pass an agenda that works for the American people.And instead of secret task energy task forces stacked with Big Oil and a Vice President that twists the facts and shuts the American people out, I know that Joe Biden will give us some real straight talk.I have seen this man work.I have sat with him as he chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and been by his side on the campaign trail.And I can tell you that Joe Biden gets it.He’s that unique public servant who is at home in a bar in Cedar Rapids and the corridors of the Capitol;in the VFW hall in Concord, and at the center of an international crisis.That’s because he is still that scrappy kid from Scranton who beat the odds;the dedicated family man and committed Catholic who knows every conductor on that Amtrak train to Wilmington.That’s the kind of fighter who I want by my side in the months and years to come.That’s what it’s going to take to win the fight for good jobs that let people live their dreams, a tax code that rewards work instead of wealth, and health care that is affordable and accessible for every American family.That’s what it’s going to take to forge a new energy policy that frees us from our dependence on foreign oil and $4 gasoline at the pump, while creating new jobs and new industry.That’s what it’s going to take to put an end to a failed foreign policy that’s based on bluster and bad judgment, so that we renew America’s security and standing in the world.We know what we’re going to get from the other side.Four more years of the same out-of-touch policies that created an economic disaster at home, and a disastrous foreign policy abroad.Four more years of the same divisive politics that is all about tearing people down instead of lifting this country up.We can’t afford more of the same.I am running for President because that’s a future that I don’t accept for my daughters and I don’t accept it for your children.It’s time for the change that the American people need.Now, with Joe Biden at my side, I am confident that we can take this country in a new direction;that we are ready to overcome the adversity of the last eight years;that we won’t just win this election in November, we’ll restore that fair shot at your dreams that is at the core of who Joe Biden and I are as people, and what America is as a nation.So let me introduce you to the next Vice President of the United States of America...

第二篇：Obama父親節(jié)演講

“Obama's speech in the Father's Day” 英文版

Today, this day reminds us that we depend on to create the cornerstone of life, the most important thing is family.We must recognize, and certainly the cornerstone of every father to play a key role.His father, patience, and coaching, both direction, and words and deeds.Father is a successful example, but also continue to promote the success of our people.But if we open and injustice, will not admit too many fathers in their place------too many children's lives where, in too many families, the father of this role is missing.The expense of their home responsibilities, acting like the little boy, not man.The basis of our many family and therefore become weak.In speaking these words, I knew that I am not a perfect father-------I know I made mistakes, but the future will make mistakes;I hope to have more time than it is now at home, accompanied by his wife and children, but can not do.All I know, but still have to say this.Because even though we are not perfect, even though we face the difficulties, but still there are some lessons we must strive to experience as a father, to sum up the--------whether we are black or white, rich or the poor, from poor South or from wealthy suburbs.The first lesson is that we must make to their children an excellent

example-------because if we have high expectations for them, we too, should aim high.You have a job is a good thing, there is a college diploma is good enough.If you are getting married, children around the knee, that could not be better, but not the entire weekend at home watching ESPN Sports “sports center.” Many children is under the influence of this growing up near the TV.As a father, as parents, we should spend more time with their children and help them complete their studies, from time to time their TV remote control into the hands of the game or a book.This is the way we lay the cornerstone of the family.We understand that education is the key to creating children's future.We understand that in order to obtain good jobs, they compete with children around the world.We appreciate the hard work required for this purpose,learning and should reach the level of education.To truly compete, they need to graduate high school, then college, and perhaps have to take a

postgraduate diploma.We shook their hands, that they moved his ass in the library's seat now!

Bring this idea of excellence instilled into the child's mind, it rely on us as fathers and parents.We have a responsibility to tell our daughters, do not let your own values affect the image of being on television, because I expect you to dream without limit, expect you to pursue those dreams.We have a

responsibility to tell our son, although the radio songs glorified violence, but in my house, we celebrate achievements, self-esteem and hard work.We have the responsibility to these expectations, it means that we ourselves must also meet these expectations, we have to do in life, a remarkable example.The second experience was as a father, we should identify with the values passed to the child.Not sympathy, but empathy------to put themselves for the sake of others, see the world from the perspective of others.Sometimes we are so easily obsessed with the “we” word, should forget our obligations to each other.Our society has a cultural concept, keep in mind that these obligations is a sign of weakness--------we should not look weak, so we should not be people that care.However, our young children or children---------------girls will observe this.They will see you ignore his wife punched and kicked, they will observe your selfish, so at school or in the street to see the same behavior behavior is not surprising.This requires that we must lead by example, to have empathy with people and pass to our children.We need to set an example to the children, tell them stronger than other people down, but to help others up.This is why we should take responsibility as a father.We should take these practices to our children a solid foundation.But we should also understand that even if we did, even if we do as fathers and

parents to the obligations, even if our government has fulfilled its duties, we will encounter in life are still many difficult challenges.We will still be struggling with the painful days, rain will still be hit.Therefore, we concluded as a father should be the last experience, we can give children is the most precious gift is hope.We hope not words of hope, not the kind of blind optimism, or is the problem faced by the willful neglect.I say hope is the kind of misery in the inner spirit-------Even if all the signs are not optimistic that this spirit we believe a better future waiting for us, as long as willing to work for the the struggle.As long as we have this conviction.We try, we hope, we try to put our house in the most solid foundation to build on.When the wind blows, when the rain when the storm hit our house, we firmly believe that God will guide us, watching us, protect us, to lead his children through the darkest of the hurricane, to a bright bright future.This is Father's Day today, this day I do pray for everyone, which I hold the future of the country's hope.《奧巴馬在父親節(jié)的演講》中文版

今天這個日子提醒我們，在我們締造生活所依賴的基石中，最為重要的是家庭。我們必須認識并且肯定每一位父親在基石中起到的關鍵作用。父親既循循善誘，又訓練指導，既指明方向，又言傳身教。父親是成功的榜樣，又是不斷推動我們走向成功的人。

但如果我們開誠不公，就會承認還有太多的父親不在其位------在太多孩子的生活里，在太多的家庭里，父親的這一角色是缺失的。他們置責任于不顧，表現(xiàn)得像小男孩，而不是男子漢。我們許許多多的家庭的基礎也因此變得薄弱。

在講這些話時，我心里明白，我不是一個完美的父親-------我知道我犯過錯，而且未來還會犯錯；我希望能有比現(xiàn)在更多的時間待在家里，陪伴妻子兒女，可是無法做到。所有這些我都明白，卻仍然要這樣講。是因為縱然我們不完美，縱然我們面臨重重困難，卻依然有一些經(jīng)驗教訓，是我們身為人父必須努力經(jīng)歷、努力總結(jié)的--------不管我們是黑人或白人，富人或窮人，來自貧窮的南區(qū)或來自富裕的郊區(qū)。

第一個經(jīng)驗是，我們必須給子女做出一個絕佳的榜樣-------因為我們?nèi)绻麑λ麄儽в泻裢?，我們自己也應該志存高遠。你有工作是件好事，有個大學文憑好上加好。如果你結(jié)婚成家，兒女繞膝，那再好不過，但不要整個周末在家里看ESPN體育臺的“體育中心”。許多孩子就是在這樣的影響下傍著電視機長大的。作為父親，作為家長，我們應該花更多的時間陪伴孩子，幫助他們完成學業(yè)，時不時地把他們手中的游戲機或電視遙控器換成一本書。這就是我們打好家庭基石的方法。

我們明白教育是創(chuàng)造孩子未來的關鍵。我們明白為了獲得好的工作，他們跟世界各地的孩子競爭。我們明白為此所需的辛勞、學習和應達到的教育水平。要想真正參與競爭，他們需要高中畢業(yè)，然后大學畢業(yè)，也許還得拿一張研究生文憑。讓我們握握他們的手，叫他們把屁股挪到圖書館的座椅上吧！

要把這種追求卓越的理念灌輸?shù)胶⒆拥念^腦，就得靠作為父親和家長的我們。我們有責任告訴我們的女兒，別讓你的自身價值被電視上的形象影響，因為我期望你的夢想無極限，期望你去追求這些夢想。我們有責任告訴我們的兒子，雖然收音機里的歌曲美化了暴力，但在我的家里，我們歌頌成就、自尊和辛勤的勞動。我們有責任提出這些厚望，那就意味著，我們自己也必須達到這些期望，我們在生活中也要做一個卓越的榜樣。

第二個經(jīng)驗是，作為父親，我們應該傳遞給孩子感同身受的價值觀。不是同情，而是感同身受------能設身處地地為他人著想，能從別人的角度看世界。有時候我們是那么容易地執(zhí)著于“我們”二字，忘了我們相互之間應該承擔的義務。我們的社會有一種文化觀念，認為牢記這些義務是一種軟弱的表現(xiàn)--------我們不應該顯得軟弱，因此我們不應該對人表示關愛。

但是，我們年輕的孩子們-------孩子或女孩子--------會觀察到這一點。他們會看到你對妻子置之不理拳打腳踢，他們會觀察到你的自私，所以在學校或在街上看到同樣舉止行為是不足為奇的。這就要求我們必須以身作則，把感同身受和與人為善也傳遞給我們的孩子。我們需要給孩子做出榜樣，告訴他們強者不是把別人擊倒，而是把別人扶起來。這就是我們作為父親應該負起的責任。

我們應該采取這些作法，為我們的孩子打下堅實的基礎。但我們也應該明白，即使我們做到了，即使我們作為父親和家長盡到了應盡的義務，即使我們的政府也履行了職責，我們在生活中仍然會碰到許多艱難的挑戰(zhàn)。我們?nèi)匀粫袙暝c痛苦的日子，風雨仍然會襲來。

因此，我們作為父親應該總結(jié)最后一個經(jīng)驗，也就是我們可以送給孩子最為貴重的禮物，就是希望。

我們的希望不是空談的希望，不是那種盲目的樂觀主義，或者是對所面臨問題的有意忽視。我講的希望是那種長存于內(nèi)心的精神-------即使所有的跡象都不樂觀，這精神也讓我們堅信有更好的未來在等待我們，只要愿意為之努力，為之奮斗。只要我們有這個信念。

我們嘗試，我們希望，我們盡力把我們的房子建在最堅實的基石上。當風吹時，當雨打時，當風雨侵襲我們的房子時，我們堅信上帝會引導我們、注視我們、保護我們，引領著他的孩子們穿過最黑暗的暴風驟雨，走向光明的美好未來。這就是今天父親節(jié)這個日子我為大家所做的祈禱，也是我對國家未來所抱的希望。

第三篇：obama開學演講（定稿）

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'S SCHOOLCHILDREN Wakefield High School Arlington, Virginia 12:06 P.M THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody!Thank you.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.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 not a picnic for me either.”

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.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.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.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（洞察力、眼光）and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination（歧視）, and make our nation more fair and more free.You'll need the creativity and ingenuity（獨創(chuàng)性）you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.……

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.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.Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.No one's written your destiny for you, you write your own destiny.You make your own future.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（課外的）activity, or volunteer in your community.Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.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 college athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don't do greatly the first time you sing a song.You've got to practice.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 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.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

第四篇：Obama競選美國總統(tǒng)演講

Obama: The Change We Need

This is a defining moment in our history.We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression--760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year.Businesses and families can't get credit.Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing.Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher.At a moment like this, we can't afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake.America needs a new direction.That's why I'm running for president of the United States.Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need.My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably.He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party.But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time.And when it comes to the economy, he still can't tell the American people one major thing he'd do differently from George Bush.It's not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans--a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class.It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years.It's not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk--a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said 'raises more questions than it answers.'

If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together.From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.That's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made--businessmen like Warren Buffett, whose support I'm proud to have.That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator--it's been the world's greatest job generator.It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history.To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families.If you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you'll get a tax cut.If you make more than $250,000, you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s--and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan.We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country.I'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil.When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now.My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history.My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American.If you already have health insurance, the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums.If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of Congress get for themselves.To give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, I'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers.But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability.And we'll make a deal with every young American: If you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition.And when it comes to keeping this country safe, I'll end the Iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while it sits on a huge surplus.For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up.I'll finally finish the fight against bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that America remains the last, best hope of Earth.None of this will be easy.It won't happen overnight.But I believe we can do this because I believe in America.This is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could;that even if they couldn't have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own.And at every moment in our history, we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never forgotten the fundamental truth that in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us.So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter.I ask you to believe--not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours.Tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed.You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election--together, we will change this country and change the world.現(xiàn)在是美國歷史的關鍵時刻。我們面臨著大蕭條以來最為嚴重的一場經(jīng)濟危機：今年以來已經(jīng)有76萬人失業(yè)；企業(yè)和家庭無法獲得信貸；房價不斷下滑，養(yǎng)老金日益縮水；工資降到了十年來的最低水平，同時醫(yī)療和教育成本卻漲到了有史以來的最高點。

在眼下這樣的危急時刻，我們承受不起又一個四年的支出增長、千瘡百孔的減稅措施、或是監(jiān)管全無──即使是美國聯(lián)邦儲備委員會（Fed）前主席格林斯潘（Alan Greenspan）現(xiàn)在也承認那是個錯誤。美國需要一個新的方向。這也正是我競選美國總統(tǒng)的原因所在。

明天，也就是周二，你們將有能力賦予這個國家我們所需要的變革。

Corbis我的競選對手麥凱恩參議員為美國作出的貢獻令人尊敬。他甚至可以指出他過去曾有幾次與自己的黨派分道揚鑣。然而，在過去八年中，他十之八九都贊同布什總統(tǒng)的主張。而在經(jīng)濟問題上，他仍然無法向美國民眾說明，他與布什的做法會有什么太大區(qū)別。

如果提出的稅收計劃沒有讓1億多美國中產(chǎn)階級獲得一分錢的稅項減免，這不是變革──即使是《國家評論》（National Review）雜志和其他保守派組織也抱怨說，這個計劃對造福中產(chǎn)階

級貢獻寥寥。在近年來不斷累積的財政赤字上再添5萬億美元，這不是變革。如果解決房市危機的計劃又將另外3,000億美元納稅人的錢置于風險之中，這不是變革──《華爾街日報》編輯委員會稱這一計劃“產(chǎn)生的問題比解決的問題多”。

如果說我們從此次經(jīng)濟危機中學到了什么的話，那就是我們要患難與共。從首席執(zhí)行長到公司股東，從金融家到工廠工人，我們每個人都休戚相關，因為美國的民眾越富足，美國才會越繁榮。

這就是為什么我們有些企業(yè)巨頭把提高員工薪酬作為自己的一項使命，讓員工能買得起自己生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品，比如巴菲特（Warren Buffett）這樣的商界人士。我對能有他的支持感到自豪。這就是為什么美國經(jīng)濟不僅是世界上最偉大的財富創(chuàng)造者，也是世界上最偉大的就業(yè)機會制造者。它一直托舉著有史以來規(guī)模最大的中產(chǎn)階級之舟。

為了重塑美國中產(chǎn)階級，我將給予95%的工人及其家庭稅收減免待遇。如果你工作，就交稅；如果年收入不足20萬美元，你會獲得減稅；即使你的年收入超過了25萬美元，你所負擔的稅率也比上世紀九十年代要低──資本利得稅和股息稅要比里根總統(tǒng)時期低三分之一。

通過重建日益破敗的基礎設施、在美國的各個角落接通寬帶，我們將創(chuàng)造200萬個就業(yè)崗位。未來的十年中，我將每年在可再生能源領域投資150億美元，進而新增500萬個崗位；這些工作環(huán)保、薪酬豐厚、不能外包，而且能幫助我們擺脫對中東石油的依賴。

在醫(yī)療問題上，我們不必在政府運營的體系和目前這種我們難以負擔的體系之間進行選擇。我的競選對手提出的方案會令美國人有史以來首次為自己獲得的醫(yī)療福利納稅。我的計劃則會讓醫(yī)療保健成為每個美國人都負擔得起、享受得到的服務。根據(jù)我的計劃，如果你已經(jīng)有了醫(yī)療保險，你將看到的唯一一個變化是保費降低；如果你還沒有醫(yī)療保險，你將能與國會議員們享受到同樣的醫(yī)療福利。

為了讓每個孩子享受到世界級的教育，讓他們能在全球經(jīng)濟中競爭21世紀的工作崗位，我將投資早期教育，并且增加師資力量。不過，我同時也會要求更高的標準和更多的責任。我們向每個美國年輕人作出承諾：如果你致力于服務你的社區(qū)或是你的國家，我們將確保你能負擔得起自己的學費。

在國防安全問題上，我將負責任地結(jié)束伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭，這樣我們就不必在這個國家享有巨額財政盈余的情況下每月卻要在那里花費100億美元。為了美國的經(jīng)濟、美國的軍隊和伊拉克的長期穩(wěn)定，現(xiàn)在是伊拉克人站出來的時候了。我將最終完成對本·拉登（Bin Laden）和基地組織恐怖分子的打擊，正是這些人制造了9/11恐怖襲擊，同時我還會建立新的合作關系、擊退21世紀出現(xiàn)的威脅，恢復我們的道德威望，讓美國仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。

這些事情沒有一件是輕而易舉能辦到的，也不是一朝一夕能完成的。但是，我堅信我們能成功，因為我對美國深信不疑。是美國使我們的父輩相信，即使他們自己無法上大學，也可以每周積攢下一些錢來，讓他們的孩子接受好的教育；即使他們不能擁有自己的企業(yè)，也可以通過努力工作讓自己的孩子創(chuàng)辦企業(yè)。在美國歷史的每個時刻，我們都勇敢地站起來面對挑戰(zhàn)，因為我們從來沒有忘記過這樣一個基本真理：在美國，我們的命運并非天定，而是掌握在我們自己的手中。所以，明天，我懇請你們書寫美國下一個偉大的篇章。我懇請你們不只相信我?guī)碜兏锏哪芰?，還有你們自己的能力。明天，你們可以選擇這樣一種政策──向美國中產(chǎn)階級進行投入、創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)崗位、實現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟增長讓人人都有成功的機會。你們可以選擇希望而非恐懼、選擇團結(jié)而非分裂、選擇變革的希望而非墨守成規(guī)。如果你們投我的票，我們將不僅贏得此次競選，還將一起改變這個國家、改變這個世界。

Washington, D.C.April 13, 2010 總統(tǒng)在核安全峰會全體會議開幕式上的講話 華盛頓哥倫比亞特區(qū) 華盛頓會議中心

2010年4月13日

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody.I'd like to get started.Let me begin by thanking all of you for your participation last night.I thought it was a very important discussion.總統(tǒng)：各位早上好?，F(xiàn)在會議開始。首先感謝諸位參加昨晚的活動，我認為我們進行了非常重要的討論。

Before I begin, I want to take this moment once again to acknowledge the terrible tragedy that struck the Polish people this weekend.We are joined today by a distinguished delegation from Poland, led by Ambassador Kupiecki.Mr.Ambassador, all of us were shocked and deeply saddened by the devastating loss of President Kaczynski, the First Lady, and so many distinguished civilian and military leaders from your country.This was a loss, not just for Poland, but for the world.在進入會議程序之前，我想利用這一時刻再次就上個周末發(fā)生的悲慘事件向波蘭人民表示慰問。今天，由庫比?；↘upiecki）大使率領的尊貴的波蘭代表團在此參加會議。大使先生，我們大家都為痛失卡欽斯基（Kaczynski）總統(tǒng)、第一夫人和貴國如此眾多的軍政領導人而深感震驚和哀傷。這不僅是波蘭的損失，也是世界的損失。

As a close friend and ally, the United States stands with Poland and Poles everywhere in these very difficult days.As an international community, I know that we will all rally around the Polish people, who have shown extraordinary strength and resilience throughout their history.So our hearts go out to your people.Our thoughts and prayers are with them.We join them in this time of mourning.And so, if everybody is agreeable, I would like to ask for a moment of silence to show that solidarity and to honor those who were lost.在這些困難的日子里，美國作為親密的盟友與波蘭和全世界的波蘭人站在一起。作為國際大家庭，我知道我們大家都會團結(jié)在波蘭人民的周圍，波蘭人民在其整個歷史中始終顯示出非凡的力量和堅毅的精神。我們對貴國人民深表同情。我們與他們一道思念和祈禱。我們在這一時刻與他們共同哀悼。為此，如果大家同意，我提議大家默哀片刻，以表示我們心心相連，并向遇難者表示敬意。(Pause for moment of silence.)（默哀）

Thank you.It is my privilege to welcome you to Washington and to formally convene this historic summit.We represent 47 nations from every region of the world, and I thank each of you for being here.This is an unprecedented gathering to address an unprecedented threat.謝謝。能夠在此歡迎你們來到華盛頓，正式舉行這個歷史性峰會，我深感榮幸。我們代表了來自全世界各地區(qū)的47個國家，我感謝你們每一個人的光臨。這是一次為應對前所未有的威脅而舉行的史無前例的會議。

Two decades after the end of the Cold War, we face a cruel irony of history--the risk of a nuclear confrontation between nations has gone down, but the risk of nuclear attack has gone up.在冷戰(zhàn)結(jié)束20年后，我們面對歷史的無情諷刺——國家之間發(fā)生核對抗的風險下降了，但核攻擊的危險卻上升了。

Nuclear materials that could be sold or stolen and fashioned into a nuclear weapon exist in dozens of nations.Just the smallest amount of plutonium--about the size of an apple--could kill and injure hundreds of thousands of innocent people.Terrorist networks such as al Qaeda have tried to acquire the material for a nuclear weapon, and if they ever succeeded, they would surely use it.Were they to do so, it would be a catastrophe for the world--causing extraordinary loss of life, and striking a major blow to global peace and stability.可能被出售、盜竊和制成核武器的核材料存在于數(shù)十個國家。哪怕是最少量的钚——蘋果般大小的钚——都有可能造成數(shù)十萬無辜者的傷亡?！盎亍苯M織之類的恐怖網(wǎng)絡企圖獲取制造核武器的材料，他們一旦得逞，毫無疑問會使用這種武器。如果他們這么做，將給世界帶來巨大的災難，造成生命的巨大損失，使世界和平與穩(wěn)定遭受重大的打擊。

In short, it is increasingly clear that the danger of nuclear terrorism is one of the greatest threats to global security--to our collective security.簡言之，人們越來越清楚地看到，核恐怖主義危險構(gòu)成對全球安全，對我們的共同安全最重大的威脅之一。

And that's why, one year ago today in--one year ago in Prague, I called for a new international effort to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world in four years.This is one part of a broader, comprehensive agenda that the United States is pursuing--including reducing our nuclear arsenal and stopping the spread of nuclear weapons--an agenda that will bring us closer to our ultimate goal of a world without nuclear weapons.正是因為這個原因，一年前的今天——一年前我在布拉格呼吁國際社會作出新的努力，用四年時間確保世界各地所有易散失的核材料得到安全保障。這是美國正在尋求的、包括削減我們的核庫存和制止核擴散在內(nèi)的、更廣泛更全面的議程的一個組成部分。該議程將使我們更接近一個沒有核武器的世界這一最終目標。Over the past year, we've made progress.At the United Nations Security Council last fall, we unanimously passed Resolution 1887 endorsing this comprehensive agenda, including the goal of securing all nuclear materials.Last night, in closed session, I believe we made further progress, pursuing a shared understanding of the grave threat to our people.在過去一年中，我們已經(jīng)取得了進展。去年秋季，在聯(lián)合國安理會的會議上，我們一致通過了第1887號決議，支持此一綜合性議程，包括保障全部核材料安全的目標。我認為，在昨晚的非公開會議中，我們努力嘗試就各國人民面臨的這一嚴重威脅達成共識，取得了進一步的進展。

華盛頓會議中心

華盛頓哥倫比亞特區(qū) 2010年4月13日

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody.We have just concluded an enormously productive day.總統(tǒng)：大家好。我們剛剛結(jié)束了成就斐然的一天。

I said this morning that today would be an opportunity for our nations, both individually and collectively, to make concrete commitments and take tangible steps to secure nuclear materials so they never fall into the hands of terrorists who would surely use them.我在上午說過，今天我們各國面臨一個機會，可以分別和共同作出具體承諾和采取明確措施，確保核材料的安全，防止核材料落入那些無疑會利用它們的恐怖主義分子手中。

This evening, I can report that we have seized this opportunity, and because of the steps we’ve taken--as individual nations and as an international community--the American people will be safer and the world will be more secure.今晚，我可以這么說，我們成功地把握了這一機遇，作為具體的國家和國際社會，我們已經(jīng)采取了措施，美國人民將因此更安全，世界將更穩(wěn)定。

I want to thank all who participated in this historic summit--49 leaders from every region of the world.Today’s progress was possible because these leaders came not simply to talk, but to take action;not simply to make vague pledges of future action, but to commit to meaningful steps that they are prepared to implement right now.我謹在此感謝出席這一具有歷史意義的峰會的全體代表，來自世界各地區(qū)的49位領導人。今天之所以能取得進展，是因為這些領導人不僅與會發(fā)言，而且采取行動；不是含糊地承諾在未來采取行動，而是承諾他們準備立即實施的有意義的步驟。

I also want to thank my colleagues for the candor and cooperative spirit that they brought to the discussions.This was not a day of long speeches or lectures on what other nations must do.We listened to each other, with mutual respect.We recognized that while different countries face different challenges, we have a mutual interest in securing these dangerous materials.我還要感謝各位同仁在討論中所表現(xiàn)的坦率與合作精神。今天并無冗長的講話，亦無要求別國如何是從的訓誡。我們互相傾聽、互相尊重。我們認識到，雖然不同國家面臨不同的挑戰(zhàn)，但我們有著共同的利益，即確保這些危險核材料的安全。So today is a testament to what is possible when nations come together in a spirit of partnership to embrace our shared responsibility and confront a shared challenge.This is how we will solve problems and advance the security of our people in the 21st century.And this is reflected in the communiqué that we have unanimously agreed to today.因此，當許多國家本著合作精神走到一起承擔我們共同的職責和應對共同的挑戰(zhàn)時，就能大有作為，今天這一點得到了驗證。這將是我們在21世紀解決問題和增進人民安全的途徑。這也體現(xiàn)在今天我們一致通過的公報之中。

First, we agreed on the urgency and seriousness of the threat.Coming into this summit, there were a range of views on this danger.But at our dinner last night, and throughout the day, we developed a shared understanding of the risk.首先，我們就這一威脅的緊迫性和嚴峻性達成了共識。在參加本屆峰會之際，人們對這一威脅眾說紛紜。然而，經(jīng)過昨天晚餐席間乃至今天全天的討論，我們對這一威脅達成了共同的理解。

Today, we are declaring that nuclear terrorism is one of the most challenging threats to international security.We also agreed that the most effective way to prevent terrorists and criminals from acquiring nuclear materials is through strong nuclear security--protecting nuclear materials and preventing nuclear smuggling.今天，我們宣布核恐怖主義是國際安全所面臨的最具挑戰(zhàn)性的威脅之一。我們還一致認為，防止恐怖主義分子和罪犯獲得核材料的最有效方法就是加強核安全——保護核材料和防止核販運。

Second, I am very pleased that all the nations represented here have endorsed the goal that I outlined in Prague one year ago--to secure all vulnerable nuclear materials around the world in four years' time.This is an ambitious goal, and we are under no illusions that it will be easy.But the urgency of the threat, and the catastrophic consequences of even a single act of nuclear terrorism, demand an effort that is at once bold and pragmatic.And this is a goal that can be achieved.第二，我非常欣慰的是，所有與會國對我一年前在布拉格所闡述的目標予以支持，即在四年時間內(nèi)確保世界所有易失散核材料的安全。這是一項宏偉目標，我們非常清楚達到這項目標并非易事。然而，由于該威脅的緊迫性，還由于哪怕一次核恐怖主義攻擊即可導致巨大災難，我們需要作出既大膽又務實的努力。這是一個能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)的目標。

Third, we reaffirmed that it is the fundamental responsibility of nations, consistent with their international obligations, to maintain effective security of the nuclear materials and facilities under our control.This includes strengthening national laws and policies, and fully implementing the commitments we have agreed to.第三，我們重申，根據(jù)各國的國際義務，各國承擔著基本的責任，必須以有效的方式保障我們控制之下的核材料及核設施的安全。這包括加強國家法律和政策，全面履行我們一致同意的承諾。

And fourth, we recognized that even as we fulfill our national responsibilities, this threat cannot be addressed by countries working in isolation.So we've committed ourselves to a sustained, effective program of international cooperation on national [sic] security, and we call on other nations to join us.第四，我們認識到，即使在我們履行各自的國家職責時，也需要各國通力合作才能消除這一威脅。因此，我們已承諾致力于持久而有效的計劃，就國家安全進行國際合作，我們呼吁其他國家與我們攜手努力。

It became clear in our discussions that we do not need lots of new institutions and layers of bureaucracy.We need to strengthen the institutions and partnerships that we already have-— and make them even more effective.This includes the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the multilateral partnership that strengthens nuclear security, prevent nuclear trafficking and assist nations in building their capacity to secure their nuclear materials.我們的討論得出的一項明確結(jié)論是，我們并不需要太多的新機制和重疊的機構(gòu)。我們需要加強現(xiàn)有機制與合作關系，使它們更有效。這包括聯(lián)合國、國際原子能機構(gòu)、以及加強核安全、防止核販運、協(xié)助各國建設核材料安全保障能力的多邊伙伴關系。
