美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬4月25日來到西弗吉尼亞州，參加本月5日在礦難中死亡的煤礦礦工悼念儀式。在西弗吉尼亞州首府查爾斯頓附近一處煤礦爆炸事故中有29名礦工遇難。這是自1970年以來發(fā)生在美國境內(nèi)傷亡情況最嚴(yán)重的礦難。奧巴馬此前說，這次礦難的主要原因是礦山經(jīng)營者管理不當(dāng)、礦山安全監(jiān)管部門監(jiān)管不力以及相關(guān)法律存在漏洞。他本月15日發(fā)表講話強調(diào)，要在全國范圍內(nèi)展開礦山安全生產(chǎn)調(diào)查，并修訂有關(guān)法律，以防止類似事件再次發(fā)生。

這次美國礦難發(fā)生前幾天，中國山西王家?guī)X煤礦也發(fā)生礦難，115人獲救，38人遇難。在4月12日中美元首會談中，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)主動向胡主席主席提議，與會者為兩國礦難遇難者默哀。

以下是奧巴馬悼念礦工講話的完整版英文文字記錄（附中文翻譯）

Nothing I, or the Vice President, or the Governor, none of the speakers here today, nothing we say can fill the hole they leave in your hearts, or the absence that they leave in your lives.If any comfort can be found, it can, perhaps, be found by seeking the face of God —(applause)— who quiets our troubled minds, a God who mends our broken hearts, a God who eases our mourning souls.無論我、副總統(tǒng)、州長，或是今天致悼詞的任何一個人，都不能說出任何話語，可以填補你們因痛失親人心中的創(chuàng)傷。如果有任何可以找得到的安慰，也許只能從上帝那里尋找得到，上帝安慰我們痛苦的頭腦，修復(fù)破碎的心靈，減輕我們哀痛的內(nèi)心。

Even as we mourn 29 lives lost, we also remember 29 lives lived.Up at 4:30 a.m., 5:00 in the morning at the latest, they began their day, as they worked, in darkness.In coveralls and hard-toe boots, a hardhat over their heads, they would sit quietly for their hour-long journey, five miles into a mountain, the only light the lamp on their caps, or the glow from the mantrip they rode in.盡管我們在哀悼這29條逝去的生命，我們同樣也要紀(jì)念這29條曾活在世間的生命。凌晨4點半起床，最遲5點，他們就開始一天的生活，他們在黑暗中工作。穿著工作服和硬頭靴，頭戴安全帽，靜坐著開始一小時的征程，去到五英里遠(yuǎn)的礦井，唯一的燈光是從他們頭戴的安全帽上發(fā)出的，或是進入時礦山沿途的光線。

Day after day, they would burrow into the coal, the fruits of their labor, what so often we take for granted:the electricity that lights up a convention center;that lights up our church or our home, our school, our office;the energy that powers our country;the energy that powers the world.(Applause.)日復(fù)一日，他們挖掘煤炭，這也是他們勞動的果實，我們對此卻不以為然：這照亮一個會議中心的電能；點亮我們教堂或家園、學(xué)校、辦公室的燈光；讓我們國家運轉(zhuǎn)的能源；讓世界維持的能源。

And most days they'd emerge from the dark mine, squinting at the light.Most days, they'd emerge, sweaty and dirty and dusted from coal.Most days, they'd come home.But not that day.These men----these husbands, fathers, grandfathers, brothers sons, uncles, nephews----they did not take on their job unaware of the perils.Some of them had already been injured;some of them had seen a friend get hurt.So they understood there were risks.And their families did, too.They knew their kids would say a prayer at night before they left.They knew their wives would wait for a call when their shift ended saying everything was okay.They knew their parents felt a pang of fear every time a breaking news alert came on, or the radio cut in.大多時候，他們從黑暗的礦里探出頭，瞇眼盯著光亮。大多時候，他們從礦里探出身，滿是汗水和塵垢。大多時候，他們能夠回家。但不是那天。這些人，這些丈夫、父親、祖父、弟兄、兒子、叔父、侄子，他們從事這份工作時，并沒有忽視其中的風(fēng)險。他們中的一些已經(jīng)負(fù)傷，一些人眼見朋友受傷。所以，他們知道有風(fēng)險。他們的家人也知道。他們知道，在自己去礦上之前，孩子會在夜晚祈禱。他們知道妻子在焦急等待自己的電話，通報今天的任務(wù)完成，一切安好。他們知道，每有緊急新聞播出，或是廣播被突然切斷，他們的父母會感到莫大的恐懼。

But they left for the mines anyway----some, having waited all their lives to be miners;having longed to follow in the footsteps of their fathers and their grandfathers.And yet, none of them did it for themselves alone.但他們還是離開家園，來到礦里。一些人畢生期盼成為礦工；他們期待步入父輩走過的道路。然而，他們并不是為自己做出的選擇。

All that hard work, all that hardship, all the time spent underground, it was all for the families.It was all for you.For a car in the driveway, a roof overhead.For a chance to give their kids opportunities that they would never know, and enjoy retirement with their spouses.It was all in the hopes of something better.And so these miners lived----as they died----in pursuit of the American Dream.這艱險的工作，其中巨大的艱辛，在地下度過的時光，都為了家人。都是為了你們；也為了在路上行進中的汽車，為了頭頂上天花板的燈光；為了能給孩子的未來一個機會，日后享受與伴侶的退休生活。這都是期冀能有更好的生活。所以，這些礦工的生活就是追尋美國夢，他們也因此喪命。

There, in the mines, for their families, they became a family themselves----sharing birthdays, relaxing together, watching Mountaineers football or basketball together, spending days off together, hunting or

fishing.They may not have always loved what they did, said a sister, but they loved doing it together.They loved doing it as a family.They loved doing it as a community.在礦里，為了他們的家人，他們自己組成了家庭：慶祝彼此的生日，一同休憩，一同看橄欖球或籃球，一同消磨時間，打獵或是釣魚。他們可能不總是喜歡這些事情，但他們喜歡一起去完成。他們喜歡像一個家庭那樣去做這些事。他們喜歡像一個社區(qū)一樣去做這些事。

That's a spirit that's reflected in a song that almost every American knows.But it's a song most people, I think, would be surprised was actually written by a coal miner's son about this town, Beckley, about the people of West Virginia.It's the song, Lean on Me----an anthem of friendship, but also an anthem of community, of coming together.這也是美國人熟知的一首歌里表達的精神。我想，讓大多數(shù)人驚訝的是這首歌實際是一名礦工的兒子所寫，關(guān)于貝克利這個小鎮(zhèn)的，關(guān)于西弗吉尼亞人民的。這首歌曲，“靠著我”（Lean on Me）是關(guān)于友誼的贊歌，但也是關(guān)于社區(qū)關(guān)于一同相聚的贊歌。

That community was revealed for all to see in the minutes, and hours, and days after the tragedy.Rescuers, risking their own safety, scouring narrow tunnels saturated with methane and carbon monoxide, hoping against hope they might find a survivor.Friends keeping porch lights on in a nightly vigil;hanging up homemade signs that read, “Pray for our miners, and their families.”Neighbors consoling each other, and supporting each other and leaning on one another.災(zāi)難發(fā)生的幾分鐘，幾小時，幾日之后，這個社區(qū)終被外界關(guān)注。搜救者，冒著風(fēng)險在充滿沼氣和一氧化碳的狹窄地道里搜尋，抱著一線希望去發(fā)現(xiàn)一位幸存者。朋友們打開門廊的燈守夜；懸掛自制的標(biāo)語上寫著，“為我們的礦工和他們的家人祈禱?！编従觽儽舜税参?，相扶相依。

I've seen it, the strength of that community.In the days that followed the disaster, emails and letters poured into the White House.Postmarked from different places across the country, they often began the same way:“I am proud to be from a family of miners.”“I am the son of a coal miner.”“I am proud to be a coal miner’s daughter.”(Applause.)They were always proud, and they asked me to keep our miners in my thoughts, in my prayers.Never forget, they say, miners keep America’s lights on.(Applause.)And then in these letters, they make a simple plea:Don’t let this happen again.(Applause.)Don’t let this happen again.我看到了，這就是社區(qū)的力量。在災(zāi)難隨后的幾天，電子郵件和信件涌入白宮。郵戳來自全國各地，人們通常都是同一開頭：“我很驕傲來自一個礦工的家庭?！薄拔沂且幻V工的兒子?！薄拔液茏院滥艹蔀橐幻V工的女人?！??他們都感到自豪，他們讓我關(guān)護我們的礦工，為他們祈禱。他們說，不要忘了，礦工維持著美國的光亮。在這些信件里，他們提出一個很小的要求：不要讓這樣的事再發(fā)生。不要讓這事情再發(fā)生。

How can we fail them?How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them?How can we let anyone in this country put their lives at risk by simply showing up to work;by simply pursuing the American Dream?

我們怎忍讓他們失望？一個依賴礦工的國家怎能不盡全力履行職責(zé)保護他們？我們的國家怎能容忍人們僅因工作就付出生命；難道僅僅是因為他們追求美國夢嗎？

We cannot bring back the 29 men we lost.They are with the Lord now.Our task, here on Earth, is to save lives from being lost in another such tragedy;to do what must do, individually and collectively, to assure safe conditions underground----(applause)----to treat our miners like they treat each other----like a family.(Applause.)Because we are all family and we are all Americans.(Applause.)And we have to lean on one another, and look out for one another, and love one another, and pray for one another.我們不能讓29條逝去的生命回來。他們此刻與主同在。我們在這里的任務(wù)，就是防止有生命再在這樣的悲劇中逝去。去做我們必須做的，無論個人或是集體，去確保礦下的安全，向他們對待彼此那樣對待我們的礦工，如同一家人。因為我們是一家人，我們都是美國人。我們必須要彼此依靠，守望彼此，愛護彼此，為彼此祈福祈禱。

There's a psalm that comes to mind today----a psalm that comes to mind, a psalm we often turn to in times of heartache.今天，我想起一首圣歌，在我們心痛時會想起這首歌。

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

“我雖行過死蔭的幽谷，但心無所懼，因你與我同在。你的杖，你的竿，都在安慰我。”

God bless our miners.(Applause.)God bless their families.God bless West Virginia.(Applause.)And God bless the United States of America.(Applause.)

上帝保佑我們的礦工！上帝保佑他們的家人！上帝保佑西弗吉尼亞！上帝保佑美國！

第三篇：奧巴馬悼念死難礦工的講話!

奧巴馬悼念死難礦工的講話！

我們國家怎能容忍為工作付出生命？

奧巴馬在悼念儀式上神色嚴(yán)峻，他的右邊是每位遇難礦工的頭盔。

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬等人在遇難礦工哀悼儀式現(xiàn)場

新華網(wǎng)華盛頓4月10日電 美國警方10日證實，搜救隊當(dāng)天凌晨在西弗吉尼亞州煤礦爆炸現(xiàn)場又發(fā)現(xiàn)4具遇難者遺體，至此這場礦難死亡人數(shù)上升至29人。

西弗吉尼亞州首府查爾斯頓附近一處煤礦5日下午發(fā)生爆炸。初步搜救結(jié)果顯示礦難共造成至少25人死亡，另有4人失蹤。此后，救援人員為尋找4名仍然生死未卜的礦工多次下井，但每次都因安全原因撤回。

搜救隊9日再次下井搜尋幸存者，至10日凌晨，4名失蹤者遺體均被發(fā)現(xiàn)。警方說10日早晨將開始把仍在煤礦中的22具遺體運出，以便確認(rèn)遇難者身份。另外7具遺體已在礦難發(fā)生不久后被運出。

最新死亡人數(shù)使這場礦難成為自1970年以來發(fā)生在美國境內(nèi)傷亡情況最嚴(yán)重的礦難。We’re here to memorialize 29 Americans: Carl Acord.Jason Atkins.Christopher Bell.Gregory Steven Brock.Kenneth Allan Chapman.Robert Clark.Charles Timothy Davis.Cory Davis.Michael Lee Elswick.William I.Griffith.Steven Harrah.Edward Dean Jones.Richard K.Lane.William Roosevelt

Lynch.Nicholas Darrell McCroskey.Joe Marcum.Ronald Lee Maynor.James E.Mooney.Adam Keith Morgan.Rex L.Mullins.Joshua S.Napper.Howard D.Payne.Dillard Earl Persinger.Joel R.Price.Deward Scott.Gary Quarles.Grover Dale Skeens.Benny Willingham.And Ricky Workman.Nothing I, or the Vice President, or the Governor, none of the speakers here today, nothing we say can fill the hole they leave in your hearts, or the absence that they leave in your lives.If any comfort can be found, it can, perhaps, be found by seeking the face of God--(applause)--who quiets our troubled minds, a God who mends our broken hearts, a God who eases our mourning souls.Even as we mourn 29 lives lost, we also remember 29 lives lived.Up at 4:30 a.m., 5:00 in the morning at the latest, they began their day, as they worked, in darkness.In coveralls and hard-toe boots, a hardhat over their heads, they would sit quietly for their hour-long journey, five miles into a mountain, the only light the lamp on their caps, or the glow from the mantrip they rode in.Day after day, they would burrow into the coal, the fruits of their labor, what so often we take for granted: the electricity that lights up a convention center;that lights up our church or our home, our school, our office;the energy that powers our country;the energy that powers the world.(Applause.)And most days they’d emerge from the dark mine, squinting at the light.Most days, they’d emerge, sweaty and dirty and dusted from coal.Most days, they’d come home.But not that day.These men-– these husbands, fathers, grandfathers, brothers sons, uncles, nephews-– they did not take on their job unaware of the perils.Some of them had already been injured;some of them had seen a friend get hurt.So they understood there were risks.And their families did, too.They knew their kids would say a prayer at night before they left.They knew their wives would wait for a call when their shift ended saying everything was okay.They knew their parents felt a pang of fear every time a breaking news alert came on, or the radio cut in.But they left for the mines anyway-– some, having waited all their lives to be miners;having longed to follow in the footsteps of their fathers and their grandfathers.And yet, none of them did it for themselves alone.All that hard work, all that hardship, all the time spent underground, it was all for the families.It was all for you.For a car in the driveway, a roof overhead.For a chance to give their kids opportunities that they would never know, and enjoy retirement with their spouses.It was all in the hopes of something better.And so these miners lived-– as they died-– in pursuit of the American Dream.There, in the mines, for their families, they became a family themselves-– sharing birthdays, relaxing together, watching Mountaineers football or basketball together, spending days off together, hunting or fishing.They may not have always loved what they did, said a sister, but they loved doing it together.They loved doing it as a family.They loved doing it as a community.That’s a spirit that’s reflected in a song that almost every American knows.But it’s a song most people, I think, would be surprised was actually written by a coal miner’s son about this town, Beckley, about the people of West Virginia.It’s the song, Lean on Me-– an anthem of friendship, but also an anthem of community, of coming together.That community was revealed for all to see in the minutes, and hours, and days after the tragedy.Rescuers, risking their own safety, scouring narrow tunnels saturated with methane and carbon monoxide, hoping against hope they might find a survivor.Friends keeping porch lights on in a nightly vigil;hanging up homemade signs that read, “Pray for our miners, and their families.” Neighbors consoling each other, and supporting each other and leaning on one another.I’ve seen it, the strength of that community.In the days that followed the disaster, emails and letters poured into the White House.Postmarked from different places across the country, they often began the same way: “I am proud to be from a family of miners.” “I am the son of a coal miner.” “I am proud to be a coal miner’s daughter.”(Applause.)They were always proud, and they asked me to keep our miners in my thoughts, in my prayers.Never forget, they say, miners keep America’s lights on.(Applause.)And then in these letters, they make a simple plea: Don’t let this happen again.(Applause.)Don't let this happen again.How can we fail them? How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them? How can we let anyone in this country put their lives at risk by simply showing up to work;by simply pursuing the American Dream? We cannot bring back the 29 men we lost.They are with the Lord now.Our task, here on Earth, is to save lives from being lost in another such tragedy;to do what must do, individually and collectively, to assure safe conditions underground--(applause)--to treat our miners like they treat each other--like a family.(Applause.)

Because

we

are

all

family

and

we

are

all Americans.(Applause.)And we have to lean on one another, and look out for one another, and love one another, and pray for one another.There’s a psalm that comes to mind today-– a psalm that comes to mind, a psalm we often turn to in times of heartache.“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

God bless our miners.(Applause.)God bless their families.God bless West Virginia.(Applause.)And God bless the United States of America.(Applause.)我們國家怎能容忍為工作付出生命？

奧巴馬在悼念儀式上神色嚴(yán)峻，他的右邊是每位遇難礦工的頭盔。

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬等人在遇難礦工哀悼儀式現(xiàn)場

當(dāng)?shù)貢r間25日，美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬和副總統(tǒng)拜登來到西弗吉尼亞州，參加本月早些時候在礦難中死亡的29名礦工悼念儀式。這次事故是1970年以來美國境內(nèi)傷亡最嚴(yán)重的礦難?，F(xiàn)場的主席臺蒙著黑幔，懸掛著死難者照片。主席臺下，29個白色十字架排成一排。每個家庭派一名成員把礦工的頭盔放在其中的一個十字架上。眼下，美國環(huán)境保護局正起草一系列煤礦行業(yè)新規(guī)。奧巴馬在2008年大選中未能在西弗吉尼亞州獲勝。

美國礦難發(fā)生前幾天，中國山西王家?guī)X煤礦也發(fā)生礦難，115人獲救，38人遇難。在4月12日中美元首會談中，奧巴馬主動提議與會者為兩國礦難遇難者默哀。

奧巴馬出席遇難礦工哀悼會 宣讀全部29人姓名 奧巴馬的悼詞：

“我們在這里，懷念29位美國人：卡爾〃阿克德、杰森〃阿金斯、克里斯多佛〃貝爾、格利高里〃史蒂夫〃布洛克、肯尼斯〃艾倫〃查普曼、羅伯特〃克拉克、查爾斯〃蒂莫西〃戴維斯、克里〃戴維斯、邁克爾〃李〃埃爾斯維克、威廉〃I.格里菲斯、史蒂芬〃哈拉、愛德華〃迪恩〃瓊斯、理查德〃K.雷恩、威廉姆〃羅斯威爾特〃林奇、尼古拉斯〃達利爾〃麥考斯基、喬〃馬克姆、羅納德〃李〃梅爾、詹姆斯〃E.姆尼、亞當(dāng)〃基斯〃摩根、雷克斯〃L.姆林斯、喬什〃S.納皮爾、霍華德〃D.佩恩、迪拉德〃厄爾〃波辛格、喬爾〃R.普萊斯、迪華德〃斯科特、加里〃考拉斯、格羅佛〃戴爾〃斯金斯、本尼〃威靈漢姆以及里奇〃沃克曼?！?/p>

無論我、副總統(tǒng)、州長，或是今天致悼詞的任何一個人，都不能說出任何話語，可以填補你們因痛失親人心中的創(chuàng)傷。

盡管我們在哀悼這29條逝去的生命，我們同樣也要紀(jì)念這29條曾活在世間的生命。

凌晨4點半起床，最遲5點，他們就開始一天的生活，他們在黑暗中工作。穿著工作服和硬頭靴，頭戴安全帽，靜坐著開始一小時的征程，去到五英里遠(yuǎn)的礦井，唯一的燈光是從他們頭戴的安全帽上發(fā)出的，或是進入時礦山沿途的光線。

日以繼夜，他們挖掘煤炭，這也是他們勞動的果實，我們對此卻不以為然：這照亮一個會議中心的電能；點亮我們教堂或家園、學(xué)校、辦公室的燈光；讓我們國家運轉(zhuǎn)的能源；讓世界維持的能源。

大多時候，他們從黑暗的礦里探出頭，瞇眼盯著光亮。大多時候，他們從礦里探出身，滿是汗水和塵垢。大多時候，他們能夠回家。但不是那天。

這些人，這些丈夫、父親、祖父、弟兄、兒子、叔父、侄子，他們從事這份工作時，并沒有忽視其中的風(fēng)險。他們中的一些已經(jīng)負(fù)傷，一些人眼見朋友受傷。所以，他們知道有風(fēng)險。他們的家人也知道。他們知道，在自己去礦上之前，孩子會在夜晚祈禱。他們知道妻子在焦急等待自己的電話，通報今天的任務(wù)完成，一切安好。他們知道，每有緊急新聞播出，或是廣播被突然切斷，他們的父母會感到莫大的恐懼。

但他們還是離開家園，來到礦里。一些人畢生期盼成為礦工；他們期待步入父輩走過的道路。然而，他們并不是為自己做出的選擇。

這艱險的工作，其中巨大的艱辛，在地下度過的時光，都為了家人。都是為了你們；也為了在路上行進中的汽車，為了頭頂上天花板的燈光；為了能給孩子的未來一個機會，日后享受與伴侶的退休生活。這都是期冀能有更好的生活。所以，這些礦工的生活就是追尋美國夢，他們也因此喪命。

在礦里，為了他們的家人，他們自己組成了家庭：慶祝彼此的生日，一同休憩，一同看橄欖球或籃球，一同消磨時間，打獵或是釣魚。他們可能不總是喜歡這些事情，但他們喜歡一起去完成。他們喜歡像一個家庭那樣去做這些事。他們喜歡像一個社區(qū)一樣去做這些事。

這也是美國人熟知的一首歌里表達的精神。我想，讓大多數(shù)人驚訝的是這首歌實際是一名礦工的兒子所寫，關(guān)于貝克利這個小鎮(zhèn)的，關(guān)于西弗吉尼亞人民的。這首歌曲，“靠著我”（Lean on Me）是關(guān)于友誼的贊歌，但也是關(guān)于社區(qū)關(guān)于一同相聚的贊歌。

災(zāi)難發(fā)生的幾分鐘，幾小時，幾日之后，這個社區(qū)終被外界關(guān)注。搜救者，冒著風(fēng)險在充滿沼氣和一氧化碳的狹窄地道里搜尋，抱著一線希望去發(fā)現(xiàn)一位幸存者。朋友們打開門廊的燈守夜；懸掛自制的標(biāo)語上寫著，“為我們的礦工和他們的家人祈禱。”鄰居們彼此安慰，相扶相依。

我看到了，這就是社區(qū)的力量。在災(zāi)難隨后的幾天，電子郵件和信件涌入白宮。郵戳來自全國各地，人們通常都是同一開頭：“我很驕傲來自一個礦工的家庭。”“我是一名礦工的兒子?！薄拔液茏院滥艹蔀橐幻V工的女人?！薄麄兌几械阶院?，他們讓我關(guān)護我們的礦工，為他們祈禱。他們說，不要忘了，礦工維持著美國的光亮。在這些信件里，他們提出一個很小的要求：不要讓這樣的事再發(fā)生。不要讓這事情再發(fā)生。

我們怎忍讓他們失望？一個依賴礦工的國家怎能不盡全力履行職責(zé)保護他們？我們的國家怎能容忍人們僅因工作就付出生命；難道僅僅是因為他們追求美國夢嗎？

我們不能讓29條逝去的生命回來。他們此刻與主同在。我們在這里的任務(wù)，就是防止有生命再在這樣的悲劇中逝去。去做我們必須做的，無論個人或是集體，去確保礦下的安全，向他們對待彼此那樣對待我們的礦工，如同一家人。因為我們是一家人，我們都是美國人。我們必須要彼此依靠，守望彼此，愛護彼此，為彼此祈福祈禱。

今天，我想起一首圣歌，在我們心痛時會想起這首歌?！拔译m行過死蔭的幽谷，但心無所懼，因你與我同在。你的杖，你的竿，都在安慰我?！?/p>

上帝保佑我們的礦工！上帝保佑他們的家人！上帝保佑西弗吉尼亞！上帝保佑美國！

第四篇：美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬2014年父親節(jié)講話

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬2014年父親節(jié)講話

Hi, everybody.Sunday is Father’s Day.If you haven’t got Dad a gift yet, there’s still time.Just barely.But the truth is, what we give our fathers can never match what our fathers give us.大家好。周日是父親節(jié)。如果你還沒有給爸爸準(zhǔn)備禮物，現(xiàn)在還來得及。大大方方地。但是事實上，我們給父親們的永遠(yuǎn)比不上父親們給我們的。

I know how important it is to have a dad in your life, because I grew up without my father around.I felt the weight of his absence.So for Michelle and our girls, I try every day to be the husband and father my family didn’t have when I was young.And every chance I get, I encourage fathers to get more involved in their children’s lives, because what makes you a man isn’t the ability to have a child – it’s the courage to raise one.我深知你們一生中有個父親是何等重要，因為我從小到大沒有父親。我深知沒有他我們的艱難。所以對米切爾和我們的兩個女兒，我每天都努力做一個好丈夫和好爸爸，這是我這時候家里沒有的。我總是利用一切機會鼓勵父親們更多地融入孩子們的生活，因為這使你成為一個不止是有能力生孩子的男人，而是有撫養(yǎng)孩子的勇氣的男人。

Still, over the past couple years, I’ve met with a lot of young people who don’t have a father figure around.And while there’s nothing that can replace a parent, any of us can do our part to be a mentor, a sounding board, a role model for a kid who needs one.Earlier this year, I launched an initiative called My Brother’s Keeper – an all-hands-on-deck effort to help more of our young men reach their full

potential.And if you want to be a mentor to a young man in your community, you can find out how at WhiteHouse.gov/MyBrothersKeeper.還有，在過去的幾年里，我遇到很多沒有父親的年輕人。盡管沒有什么可以取代一個家長，我們中的任何人都可以盡自己的努力成為導(dǎo)師，一個傾聽者和孩子需要的任何角色。今年早些時候，我推出了一個叫做―弟弟的監(jiān)護人‖的動議--一個人人盡責(zé)的努力旨在幫助我們的年輕人發(fā)揮他們的潛能。如果你想成為你們社區(qū)的任何一個年輕人的導(dǎo)師，你可以在WhiteHouse.gov/MyBrothersKeeper網(wǎng)站得知如何做。

Now, when I launched this initiative, I said that government can’t play the

primary role in a young person’s life.Taking responsibility for being a great parent or mentor is a choice that we, as individuals, have to make.No government program can ever take the place of a parent’s love.Still, as a country, there are ways we can help support dads and moms who make that choice.當(dāng)我推出這個動議的時候，我說政府不能在任何年輕人的生活中起主導(dǎo)作用。擔(dān)起作為偉大的父母或?qū)煹呢?zé)任是我們作為個人必須做出的選擇。沒有一 1

個政府項目可以取代父母的愛。還有，作為一個國家，我們有很多方式幫助父親們和母親們做出這個選擇。

That’s why, earlier this week, we brought working dads from across America to the White House to talk about the challenges they face.And in a few weeks, I’ll hold the first-ever White House Working Families Summit.We’ve still got too many workplace policies that belong in the 1950s, and it’s time to bring them up to date for today’s families, where oftentimes, both parents are working.Moms and dads deserve affordable child care, and time off to care for a sick parent or child without running into hardship.Women deserve equal pay for equal work – and at a time when more women are breadwinners for a family, that benefits men, too.And because no parent who works full-time should have to raise a family in poverty, it’s time for Congress to follow the lead of state after state, get on the bandwagon, and give America a raise.這就是為什么本周早些時候，我們邀請了一些來自全美各地的工薪父親們來到白宮討論我們面對的挑戰(zhàn)。在今后幾周里，我將在白宮舉辦白宮工薪家庭峰會。我們現(xiàn)在有很多職場政策還是1950年代的，現(xiàn)在是使它們跟上今天的家庭的時候了，這些家庭通常是雙親都工作。母親們和父親們理應(yīng)得到可承受的兒保，可以請假照顧生病的父母或孩子而不至于陷入困境。婦女理應(yīng)得到同工同酬待遇--當(dāng)更多婦女成為家庭支柱時，男人也從中受益。因為我們不允許任何全職父母支撐一個家庭就要陷入貧困，所以現(xiàn)在是國會緊跟一個又一個州的潮流，給美國一個提升。

Dads work hard.So our country should do what we can to make sure their hard work pays off;to make sure life for them and their families is a little less stressful, and a little more secure, so they can be the dads their kids need them to be.Because there’s nothing more precious in life than the time we spend with our

children.There’s no better feeling than knowing that we can be there for them, and provide for them, and help give them every shot at success.父親們勤奮工作。所以我們的國家應(yīng)該盡力讓他們的努力得到回報；們和他們的家庭的生活更加成功一點，更加安全一點，以使他們成為他們的孩子們想要的父親們。因為人生中沒有什么比他們花在孩子們身上的時間更加珍貴了。沒有什么比知道我們就在他們的身邊，為他們提供他們需要的，給他們?nèi)魏纬晒Φ臋C會更加幸福的感覺了。

Let’s make sure every dad who works hard and takes responsibility has the chance to know that feeling, not just on one Sunday, but every day of the year.讓我們保證每個辛勤工作承擔(dān)責(zé)任的父親有機會不僅在一個周日，而是年年月月日日有這種感覺。

Thanks everybody, happy Father’s Day, and have a great weekend.謝謝，父親節(jié)快樂，周末快樂。

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬2013年父親節(jié)講話

Hi, everybody.This Sunday is Father’s Day, and so I wanted to take a moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have – and that’s being a dad.大家好，周日是父親節(jié)，所以我想花一點兒時間談?wù)勀窃S多我們都有的重要工作——當(dāng)一個爸爸。

Today we’re blessed to live in a world where technology allows us to connect instantly with just about anyone on the planet.But no matter how advanced we get, there will never be a substitute for the love and support and, most importantly, the presence of a parent in a child’s life.And in many ways, that’s uniquely true for fathers.今天，我們有幸生活在這樣一個世界，何人即時地保持聯(lián)絡(luò)。不管我們多么地先進，都沒有什么可以把孩子生命中的愛、支持、最重要的是父母的存在，進行替代。在許多情況下，對父親來說這尤為正確。

I never really knew my own father.I was raised by a single mom and two wonderful grandparents who made incredible sacrifices for me.And there are single parents all across the country who do a heroic job raising terrific kids.But I still wish I had a dad who was not only around, but involved;another role model to teach me what my mom did her best to instill – values like hard work and integrity;responsibility and delayed gratification – all the things that give a child the foundation to envision a brighter future for themselves.我從沒真正地了解我自己的父親，我由單親母親和兩位優(yōu)秀的祖父母撫養(yǎng)成人，他們?yōu)槲易龀隽司薮蟮臓奚Ｈ珖鞯囟加袉斡H父母，例如，只有媽媽，做著英勇偉大的工作，撫養(yǎng)著優(yōu)秀的孩子。但我仍然希望，我有一個爸爸，他不僅在我的周圍，而是在我的生命中，以另一個角色來教導(dǎo)我媽媽也盡力灌輸給我的東西，努力工作和正直的價值觀，有責(zé)任心而不貪圖享受，所有給孩子預(yù)想自己光明未來基礎(chǔ)的東西。

That’s why I try every day to be for Michelle and my girls what my father was not for my mother and me.And I’ve met plenty of other people – dads and uncles and men without a family connection – who are trying to break the cycle and give more of our young people a strong male role model.這也就是我每天盡力為米歇爾和我的女兒們?nèi)プ鲆恍┦虑榈脑?，因為我父親沒能為我母親和我做的這些。我也遇見過大量其他的人，爸爸們，叔伯們和其他沒有完整家庭的男人們。他們也盡力去打破這個怪圈，給予我們更多的年輕人強大的男性的榜樣。

Being a good parent – whether you’re gay or straight;a foster parent or a

grandparent – isn’t easy.It demands your constant attention, frequent sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience.And nobody’s perfect.To this day, I’m still figuring out how3

to be a better husband to my wife and father to my kids.作為好的父母親——，養(yǎng)父母或是祖父母——都是不易的。這需要你持續(xù)地關(guān)注，頻繁地做出犧牲，很健康耐心的心態(tài)。沒有人是完美的，至今，我仍在努力想著如何去做一個妻子的好丈夫和孩子的好父親。And I want to do what I can as President to encourage marriage and strong families.We should reform our child support laws to get more men working and engaged with their children.And my Administration will continue to work with the faith and other community organizations, as well as businesses, on a campaign to encourage strong parenting and fatherhood.，去鼓勵穩(wěn)定的婚姻和和諧的家庭。我們應(yīng)該修訂我們的未成年人撫育法，讓更多的人獲得工作，為他們的孩子而忙碌。我的政府也將繼續(xù)真誠地和其他社會組織，也包括企業(yè)，打贏更好地?fù)狃B(yǎng)孩子和傳遞父愛的戰(zhàn)役。

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that all our personal successes shine a little less brightly if we fail at family.That’s what matters most.When I look back on my life, I won’t be thinking about any particular legislation I passed or policy I promoted.I’ll be thinking about Michelle, and the journey we’ve been on together.I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s dance recitals and Malia’s tennis matches – about the conversations we’ve had and the quiet moments we’ve shared.I’ll be thinking about whether I did right by them, and whether they knew, every day, just how much they were loved.這就是如果我們在家庭上失敗了，我們所有個人的成功都少了一點兒明亮的光澤，這才是最重要的。當(dāng)我回憶我的一生，我不會想到任何我通過的待定法案，或是我力促的政策，我將會想到的是米歇爾和我們一起走過的歲月，我將會想到的是薩沙的舞蹈演出和瑪麗亞的網(wǎng)球比賽，我們在一起的對話和我們一起共享的靜謐時光。我會想是否我做對了，是否他們知道每一天，我是如此的愛著她們。

That’s what I think being a father is all about.And if we can do our best to be a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids;if we can show them unconditional love and help them grow into the people they were meant to be;then we will have succeeded.這就是我認(rèn)為作為一個父親應(yīng)該關(guān)心的，如果我們可以盡自己的全力來安慰和鼓勵我們的孩子。如果我們可以付出我們無條件地愛，幫助他們成為應(yīng)該成為的人，那么我們就都成功了。

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend.因此祝所有爸爸們父親節(jié)快樂，周末快樂。

第五篇：美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬名言

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬名言

在美國，創(chuàng)新不只改變我們的生活，更重要的是，這是我們賴以謀生的方法。如果我們想擁抱未來，如果我們想讓創(chuàng)新在美國而不是海外創(chuàng)造就業(yè)崗位，那么我們必須贏得教育我們孩子的競賽。

成功不是名氣或者公共關(guān)系所帶來的，它是由辛勞的工作和自律造就的。在這個十年結(jié)束的時候，美國將再度成為擁有大學(xué)生比例最高的國家。雖然我不確定我們將如何超越地平線到達更好的地方，但我知道我們將會到達那里。我知道我們能夠做到。

——以上摘自奧巴馬2011國情咨文

我知道你們的所做的一切并不只是為了贏得選舉，我也知道你們做這一切并不是為了我。你們這樣做是因為你們明白前面的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。即便我們今晚歡呼慶祝，我們也知道明天將面臨我們一生之中最艱難的挑戰(zhàn)——兩場戰(zhàn)爭、一個面臨危險的星球，一個世紀(jì)以來最嚴(yán)重的金融危機。

前方的道路將很漫長，我們攀登的腳步會很艱辛。

那些所有懷疑美國的燈塔能否能像以前一樣明亮的人們，今天晚上我們再次證明，我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財富的規(guī)模，而是來自我們理想的持久力量：民主、自由、機會、不屈服的希望。

美國，我們已經(jīng)走過了一條漫漫長路。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。但是我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥Ｒ虼私褚?，請讓我們自?-如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀(jì)；如果我的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長，她們將會看到怎樣的改變？我們將會取得什么樣的進步？

現(xiàn)在是我們回答這個問題的機會。這是我們的時刻。

這是我們的時代--讓我們的人民重新就業(yè)，為我們的后代敞開機會之門，恢復(fù)繁榮，推進和平，重新確立“美國夢”，再次證明這樣一個基本的真理：我們是一家人；只要一息尚存，我們就有希望；當(dāng)我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑，當(dāng)有人說我們辦不到的時候，我們要以這個永恒的信條來回應(yīng)他們：是的，我們能做到。

——一以上摘自奧巴馬勝選演說

迄今為止，已經(jīng)有44個美國總統(tǒng)宣誓就職?？偨y(tǒng)的宣誓有時面對的是國家的和平繁榮，但通常面臨的是烏云密布的緊張形勢。在緊張的形勢中，支持美國前進的不僅僅是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的能力和遠(yuǎn)見，也在于美國人民對國家先驅(qū)者理想的信仰，以及對美國立國文件的忠誠。

前輩們?nèi)绱耍覀冞@一代美國人也要如此。

美國仍是一個年輕的國家，借用《圣經(jīng)》的話說，放棄幼稚的時代已經(jīng)到來 了。重拾堅韌精神的時代已經(jīng)到來，我們要為歷史作出更好的選擇，我們要秉承歷史賦予的寶貴權(quán)利，秉承那種代代相傳的高貴理念：上帝賦予我們每個人以平等和自由，以及每個人盡全力去追求幸福的機會。

在重申我們國家偉大之處的同時，我們深知偉大從來不是上天賜予的，偉大需要努力贏得。(我們的民族一路走來)，這旅途之中從未有過捷徑或者妥協(xié)，這旅途也不適合膽怯之人、或者愛安逸勝過愛工作之人、或者單單追求名利之人。這條路是勇于承擔(dān)風(fēng)險者之路，是實干家、創(chuàng)造者之路。這其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人卻在默默無聞地工作著。正是這些人帶領(lǐng)我們走過了漫長崎嶇的旅行，帶領(lǐng)我們走向富強和自由。

從今天開始，我們必須跌倒后爬起來，拍拍身上的泥土，重新開始工作，重塑美國。

現(xiàn)在，有一些人開始質(zhì)疑我們的野心是不是太大了，他們認(rèn)為我們的體制承載不了太多的宏偉計劃。他們是健忘了。他們已經(jīng)忘了這個國家已經(jīng)取得的成就；他們已經(jīng)忘了當(dāng)創(chuàng)造力與共同目標(biāo)以及必要的勇氣結(jié)合起來時，自由的美國人民所能發(fā)揮的能量。

這些懷疑論者的錯誤在于，他們沒有意識到政治現(xiàn)實已經(jīng)發(fā)生了變化，長期以來耗掉我們太多精力的陳腐政治論爭已經(jīng)不再適用。今天，我們的問題不在于政府的大小，而在于政府能否起作用，政府能否幫助家庭找到薪水合適的工作、給他們可以負(fù)擔(dān)得起的醫(yī)療保障并讓他們體面地退休。哪個方案能給與肯定的答案，我們就推進哪個方案。哪個方案的答案是否定的，我們就選擇終止。而掌管納稅人稅金的人應(yīng)當(dāng)承擔(dān)起責(zé)任，合理支出，摒棄陋習(xí)，磊落做事，這有這樣才能在政府和人民之間重建至關(guān)重要的相互信任。

我們面臨的問題也不是市場好壞的問題。市場創(chuàng)造財富、拓展自由的能力無可匹敵，但是這場危機提醒我們，如果沒有監(jiān)管，市場很可能就會失去控制，而且偏袒富人國家的繁榮無法持久。國家經(jīng)濟的成敗不僅僅取決于國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值的大小，而且取決于繁榮的覆蓋面，取決于我們是否有能力讓所有有意愿的人都有機會走向富裕。我們這樣做不是慈善，而是因為這是確保實現(xiàn)共同利益的途徑。

我們面臨的挑戰(zhàn)也許是新的，我們應(yīng)對挑戰(zhàn)的措施也許也是新的，但那些長期以來指導(dǎo)我們成功的價值觀——勤奮、誠實、勇氣、公平競爭、包容以及對世界保持好奇心，還有對國家的忠誠和愛國主義——卻是歷久彌新，這些價值觀是可靠的。他們是創(chuàng)造美國歷史的無聲力量。我們現(xiàn)在需要的就是回歸這些古老的價值觀。我們需要一個新的負(fù)責(zé)任的時代，一個覺醒的時代，每個國人都應(yīng)意識到即我們對自己、對國家和世界負(fù)有責(zé)任，我們不應(yīng)該不情愿地接受這些責(zé)任，而應(yīng)該快樂地承擔(dān)起這些責(zé)任。我們應(yīng)該堅定這一認(rèn)識，即沒有什么比全身 心投入一項艱巨的工作更能鍛煉我們的性格，更能獲得精神上的滿足。

對中國的發(fā)展來說，“五年規(guī)劃”是量度中國步伐的路碑，也是記錄中國夢想的載體。

升華心態(tài)提升境界。有這樣一則故事：三個工人在砌墻，有人問他們在忙什么，第一個說：“我在砌墻”，第二個說：“我在建一幢大樓”，第三個回答：“我在建一座城市”。多年以后，第一個工人仍是工人，第二個工人成為工程師，第三個工人成為城市管理者。同一種工作，因為從事者的心態(tài)不同，結(jié)果迥異?！胺N瓜得瓜，種豆得豆”，不僅是一種自然規(guī)律，也是由良好心態(tài)、較高境界決定的。

成功在于堅持。有一個“一萬小時定律”，是說人在某一方面要想有所作為，要能堅持一萬個小時，相當(dāng)于每天練習(xí)近平3個小時，堅持10年。你能堅持嗎？堅持住了，你就會成為某一方面的專家?！肮胖纱笫抡?，不惟有超世之才，亦必有堅韌不拔之志”，說的也是這個道理。

愛。的確，愛可以說是世界上最柔韌的力量，它讓人擁有一種純粹的執(zhí)著，喚醒人們一種無私的責(zé)任，更有著潤物無聲般的穿透力、春風(fēng)化雨般的感染力和百川歸海般的吸引力。人世間，有愛，就有力量，就有溫暖，就有和諧。
