梦想与责任:奥巴马对学生的演讲

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!谢谢你们。谢谢你们。谢谢你们大家。好,大家请就坐。你们今天都好吗?(掌声)蒂姆·斯派塞(Tim Spicer)好吗?(掌声)我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。美国各地从小学预备班到中学12年级的学生正在收听收看。我很高兴大家今天都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请为你们自己热烈鼓掌。(掌声)

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,今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生,今天是你们来到新学校的第一天,心里可能有点紧张,这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——(掌声)——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级,你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点,今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。

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.

我了解这种感觉。我小时候,我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校,但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。因此,她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上班,所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。

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 ki tchen 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.)

你们可以想见,我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡着了。但每当我抱怨的时候,我妈妈都会那样地看我一眼,然后说:“小子,这对我也并不轻松。”(笑声)

So I know that som e 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.

我知道你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。但我今天来到这里是因为有重要的事情要和你们说。我来这里是要和你们谈谈你们的教育问题,以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的期望。

Now, i’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And i’ve talked about responsibility a lot.

我做过很多次有关教育问题的演讲。我多次谈到过责任问题。

I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring st udents and pushing you to learn.

我谈到过教师激励学生并督促他们学习的责任。

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.

我谈到过家长的责任,要确保你们走正路,完成家庭作业,不要整天坐在电视前或玩Xbox游戏。

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.

我多次谈到过政府的责任,要制定高标准,支持教师和校长的工作,彻底改善不能为学生提供应有机会的、教育质量差的学校。

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,即使我们拥有最敬业的教师,最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校——如果你们大家不履行你们的责任,不到校上课,不专心听讲,不听家长、祖父祖母和其他大人的话,不付出取得成功所必须的勤奋努力,那么这一切都毫无用处,都无关紧要。这就是我今天讲话的重点:你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。

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.

我首先要讲讲你们对自己应尽的责任。你们每个人都有自己的长处。你们每个人都能做出自己的贡献。你们对自己应尽的责任是发现自己的能力所在。而教育能够提供这样的机会。

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.

你或许能成为一名出色的作家——甚至可能写书或在报纸上发表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文课的作文后才会发现自己的才华。你或许能成为一名创新者或发明家——甚至可能设计出新一代iphone或研制出新型药物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成科学课的实验后才会发现自己的才华。你或许能成为一名

市长或参议员或最高法院的大法官——但你可能要在参加学生会的工作或辩论队后才会发现自己的才华。

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.

不论你的生活志向是什么,我敢肯定你必须上学读书才能实现它。你想当医生、教师或警官吗?你想当护士、建筑师、律师或军人吗?你必须接受良好的教育,才能从事上述任何一种职业。你不能指望辍学后能碰上个好工作。你必须接受培训,为之努力,为之学习。

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.

这并非只对你个人的人生和未来意义重大。可以毫不夸大地说,教育给你带来的益处将决定这个国家的未来。美国的未来取决于你们。你们今日在校学习的知识将决定我们作为一个国家是否能够迎接我们未来所面临的最严峻挑战。

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.

你们将需要利用你们通过自然科学和数学课程所学到的知识和解决问题的能力来治愈癌症、艾滋病及其他疾病,开发新的能源技术和保护我们的环境。你们将需要利用你们在历史学和社会学课堂上所获得的知识和独立思考能力来抗击贫困和解决无家可归问题,打击犯罪和消除歧视,使我们的国家更公平、更自由。你们将需要利用你们在所有课堂上培养的创造力和智慧来创办新公司,增加就业机会,振兴我们的经济。

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.

我们需要你们每个人发挥你们的聪明才智和技能,以便帮助老一辈人解决我们面临的最棘手问题。如果你们不这样做,如果你们辍学,你们不仅仅是自暴自弃,也是抛弃自己的国家。

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.

我自然知道要做到学业优秀并非总是易事。我知道你们许多人在生活中面临挑战,难以集中精力从事学业。

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.

我明白这一点。我有亲身感受。两岁时,我父亲离家而去,我是由一位单亲母亲抚养成人的,母亲不得不工作,并时常为支付生活费用而苦苦挣扎,但有时仍无法为我们提供其他孩子享有的东西。有时,我渴望生活中能有一位父亲。有时我感到孤独,感到自己不适应社会。

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.

我并非总是像我应该做到的那样专心学习,我也曾做过我如今不能引以为豪的一些事情,我曾惹过不应该惹的麻烦。我的人生原本会轻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, a nd 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,我当年际遇不错。我有过许多第二次机会,我有幸能上大学,上法学院,追求自己的理想。我的妻子,我们的第一夫人米歇尔?奥巴马,也有着类似的经历。她的父母都未曾上过大学,家里很穷。但他们非常勤奋,她也是如此,因此她得以进入一些美国最好的学校。

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 wher e you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right.

你们中有一些人可能没有那些有利条件。或许你们生活中没有成年人为你们提供你们所需要的支持。或许你们家中有人失业,经济非常拮据。或许你们生活在使你们感觉不安全的社区,或有朋友逼迫你们去做你们知道不对的事情。

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.

然而说到底,你们生活的环境、你们的肤色、你们的原籍、你们的经济收入、你们家中的境况等等,这一切都不能成为你们不用功或不努力的理由。你们没有理由不服从你们的老师、逃学、或辍学。没有理由不付出努力。

Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s writt en your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.

你们目前的状况并不决定着你们的未来。没有人决定你们的命运,在美国,你们决定自己的命运。你们掌握自己的未来。

That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.

这就是像你们这样的年轻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.

来自得州罗马城的贾兹敏?佩雷斯(Jazmin Perez)就是一个例证,她刚开始上学时并不会说英文。她的父母都没有上过大学。然而,她非常勤奋,成绩优秀,获得了布朗大学的奖学金,她如今正在读研究生,攻读公共卫生专业,不久将成为贾兹敏?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尔托斯城的安多尼?舒尔茨(Andoni Schultz),他从三岁开始就一直与脑癌进行抗争,他不得不忍受各类治疗和手术带来的痛苦,其中一项手术曾影响了他的记忆,因此他花在功课上的时间比一般人长得多,要多出数百个小时。然而,他从未落后。他今年秋季将迈进大学。

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.

我还想起家乡伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的尚特尔?史蒂夫(Shantell Steve)。她曾在芝加哥最困难的社区生活,寄养于多个不同的家庭,但她最终在一家地方医疗中心找到工作,并开始了一项帮助年轻人远离流氓团伙的计划,她即将以优异成绩从中学毕业,紧接着将上大学。

And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like y ou 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.

贾兹敏、安多尼和尚特尔与你们中间的每个人没什么两样。跟你们一样,他们在生活中面临种种挑战。在某些情况下,他们的处境比起你们许多人更差。但他们拒绝放弃。他们决定要为自己的一生、自己的教育负起责任,为自己设定各项奋斗目标。我期待你们大家都会这样做。

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 fo r 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,我今天呼吁你们每一个人为自己的教育设定目标,并尽自己的最大努力来实现这些目标。你的目标可以是一件十分简单的事情,例如完成家庭作业、上课专心听讲、或每天花一点时间读一本书。也许你会决定要参加课外活动或在你的社区提供志愿服务。也许你会决定挺身而出保护那些因为身份或长相而受人戏弄或欺负的孩子,原因是你和我一样认为所有的年轻人都应该享有一个

适合读书和学习的安全环境。也许你会决定更好地照料自己,以便有更充沛的精力来学习。顺便提一下,除了这些事情外,我希望大家要勤洗手,身体感到不舒服的时候要呆在家里不去上学,这样我们能防止人们在今年秋冬季节染上流感。

But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.

但无论你决定做什么,我希望你保证去做。我希望你脚踏实地地去做。

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.

我知道有时候你会从电视上得到这样的印象:你不用做任何艰苦的工作就能发财致富并取得成功,唱小调、打篮球或成为真人秀明星是走向成功的途径。但实际情况是:你可能不会成为其中的一员。

The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love eve ry 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.

事实上,取得成功不是轻而易举的事情。你不会喜欢你学习的每一门课目。你不会与你的每一位老师都很投契。不是所有的家庭作业似乎都与你眼前的生活完全有关。你第一次尝试做每件事的时候,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.”

这些都没关系。世界上最成功的人士中有一些是遭遇失败最多的人。作者J?K?罗琳(J.K. Rowling)所写的系列小说《哈利?波特》(Harry Potter)第一部在获得出版之前被退稿12次。迈克尔?乔丹(Michael Jordan)曾被他的高中篮球队除名。在乔丹的篮球生涯中,他输过数百场比赛,有成千上万个球没有投中。但他曾说过:“在我的一生中,我失败了一次又一次、一次又一次。这就是我成功的原因。”

These people s ucceeded 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.

这些人士获得成功,因为他们懂得:你不能让失败来限制你,而必须让失败来开导你。你必须让失败向你展示下次如何以不同的方式去做这件事情。因此,如果你遇到麻烦,那并不表示你是麻烦的制造者,而意味着你需要更加努力去把它做对。如果你有一门课分数低,那不表示你比别人笨,而只表示你需要花更多的时间学习。

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.

没有一个人天生擅长做各种事情。你通过勤奋而变得擅长于各种事情。第一次从事新的体育项目时,你不可能是一位主力队员。第一次唱一首歌曲时,你不可能唱准每个音。你必须练习。同样的道理适用于你的学业。你可能要把一道数学题做几次才把它做对。你可能要把一些材料阅读几遍才能理解。在交出一篇优美的作文之前,你肯定需要打几遍草稿。

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.

不要害怕提问。不要在需要帮助时害怕请求别人帮助。我天天请求别人的帮助。请求帮助不是软弱的表现,它是力量的标志,因为它表明你有勇气承认自己对某些事情不懂,这样做会使你学到新的东西。因此,请确定一位你信任的成年人,例如家长、祖父母或老师、教练或辅导员,请他们帮助你遵循既定计划实现你的目标。

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.

即使当你苦苦挣扎、灰心丧气、感到其他人对你不抱希望时,也不要对你自己丧失信心,因为当你自暴自弃时,你也抛弃了自己的国家。

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.

书写美国历史的不是在困难时刻退缩的人,而是坚持不懈、加倍努力的人,他们对国家的爱促使他们全力以赴。

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.

书写美国历史的是250年前坐在你们的位置上的学生,他们后来进行了独立战争并创建了这个国家。还有75年前坐在你们的位置上的年轻人和学生,他们走出了大萧条并打赢了一场世界大战;他们为民权而奋斗并把宇航员送上了月球。至于20年前坐在你们的位置上的学生,他们创办了谷歌(Google)、叽喳网(Twitter)和脸谱网(Facebook),改变了我们交流沟通的方式。

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,我要问问你们大家,你们将做出什么贡献?你们将解决什么问题?你们将有什么发现?20年、50年或100年后来到这里讲话的总统将会怎样评价你们大家为这个国家所做的一切?

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 y our 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 l et yourself down. Make us all proud.

你们的家人、你们的老师和我正在竭尽全力保证你们接受必要的教育,以便回答上述问题。我正在努力工作,以便你们的教室得到修缮,你们能够得到学习所需的课本、设备和电脑。但你们也必须尽自己的努力。因此,我希望你们大家从今年起认真对待这个问题。我希望你们尽最大努力做好每一件事。我希望你们每个人都有出色的表现。不要让我们失望。不要让你们的家人或你们的国家失望。而最重要的是,不要辜负你们自己,而要让我们都能[为你们]感到骄傲。

Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you. (Applause.)

非常感谢你们大家。愿主保佑你们。愿主保佑美国。谢谢你们。(掌声)

(完整word版)奥巴马传奇演讲AMorePerfectUnion一个更完美的城邦中英对译

A More Perfect Union Remarks of Senator Barack Obama Philadelphia, PA | March 18, 2008 为了更完美的联邦 巴拉克·奥巴马2008年3月18日在美国宾夕法尼亚州费城的演讲 海星译 "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union." “我们[美利坚合众国的]人民,为缔造一个更完美的联邦。” Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787. 221年前,一群人聚集在至今仍屹立在这条街上的市政厅里,用上述这样简洁的言语,发起了美利坚不可思议的民主实验。农场主和学者,政治家与爱国者们为逃脱政治专制和宗教迫害,横渡大洋,最终在费城会议上发表了他们的独立宣言。——这一会议一直延续了1787年的春天。

奥巴马对全美学生的开学演讲稿

奥巴马面对全美学生的开学演讲: 永远不要放弃自己 小时候,我家在印度尼西亚住过几年,妈妈没钱送我去读书,因此她决定自己给我上课 ——时间是每周一到周五的凌晨4点半。显然,我不喜欢那么早爬起来,经常趴在厨房的桌 子上睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候,母亲便会对我说:“孩子,你以为妈妈教你很轻松吗?” 今天我站在这里,是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教 育,以及在新的学年里,你们应当做些什么。 我做过许多关于教育的讲话,也常常用到“责任”这个词。 我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们,督促你们学习。 我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业,不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。 我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作,改变在有 些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。 但哪怕这一切都达到最好,哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校, 假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话,那么这一切努力都会白费。——除非你每天准时去上学、 除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付 出成功所必需的努力,否则这一切都会失去意义。 而这就是我今天讲话的主题:对于自己的教育,你们中每一个人的责任。首先,我想谈 谈你们对于自己有什么责任。 你们中的每一个人都会有自己擅长的东西,每一个人都是有用之材,而发现自己的才能 是什么,就是你们要对自己担起的责任。教育给你们提供了发现自己才能的机会。 或许你能写出优美的文字——甚至有一天能让那些文字出现在书籍和报刊上——但假如 不在英语课上经常练习写作,你不会发现自己有这样的天赋;或许你能成为一个发明家、创 造家——甚至设计出像今天的iphone一样流行的产品,或研制出新的药物与疫苗——但假如 不在自然科学课程上做上几次实验,你不会知道自己有这样的天赋;或许你能成为一名议员 或最高法院法官,但假如你不去加入什么学生会或参加几次辩论赛,你也不会发现自己的才 能。 而且,我可以向你保证,不管你将来想要做什么,你都需要相应的教育。——你想当名 医生、当名教师或当名警官?你想成为护士、成为建筑设计师、律师或军人?无论你选择哪 一种职业,良好的教育都必不可少,这世上不存在不把书念完就能拿到好工作的美梦,任何 工作,都需要你的汗水、训练与学习。 不仅仅对于你们个人的未来有重要意义,你们的教育如何也会对这个国家、乃至世界的 未来产生重要影响。今天你们在学校中学习的内容,将会决定我们整个国家在未来迎接重大 挑战时的表现。 你们需要在数理科学课程上学习的知识和技能,去治疗癌症、艾滋那样的疾病,和解决 我们面临的能源问题与环境问题;你们需要在历史社科课程上培养出的观察力与判断力,来 减轻和消除无家可归与贫困、犯罪问题和各种歧视,让这个国家变得更加公平和自由;你们 需要在各类课程中逐渐累积和发展出来的创新意识和思维,去创业和建立新的公司与企业, 来制造就业机会和推动经济的增长。 我们需要你们中的每一个人都培养和发展自己的天赋、技能和才智,来解决我们所面对 的最困难的问题。假如你不这么做——假如你放弃学习——那么你不仅是放弃了自己,也是 放弃了你的国家。 当然,我明白,读好书并不总是件容易的事。我知道你们中的许多人在生活中面临着各 种各样的问题,很难把精力集中在专心读书之上。 我知道你们的感受。我父亲在我两岁时就离开了家庭,是母亲一人将我们拉扯大,有时

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. 我知道,今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生,今天是你们来到新学校的第一天,心里可能有点紧张,这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕

读《责任比能力更重要》有感范文3篇

读《责任比能力更重要》有感范文3篇【小雅为你整理的精品文档,希望对你有所帮助,欢迎你的阅读下载。】内容如下-读《责任比能力更重要》有感范文3篇 【篇一】 这是个要负责的新时代,这个时代不是逃避责任,而是要拥抱责任! ——奥巴马 责任,是一个耳熟能详的词语。对于一个人来说,责任是他一生能否有所成就的重要砝码。 责任,是每个人与生俱来的使命,它伴随着我们生命的始终。从我们来到人世间,到我们离开这个世界,我们每时每刻都承担着责任:对家庭的责任、对工作的责任、对社会的责任、对生命的责任等等。 特别是对于我们而言,身在职场之中,工作就意味着责任,因为每一份工作所规定的内容就是一份责任。我们已经从事了一种职业,选择了一个岗位,就必须接受它的全部,就算是受了委屈和责骂,那也是这项工作的一部分,而不是仅仅享受工作给我们带来的益处和快乐,因为这就是我们的责任。 当我们怀着一颗强烈的责任心,坚守自己的岗位,并为之付出努力的时候,我们就能充分享受工作带来的乐趣,即使再烦闷、再枯燥,我们也能从中感受到价值,在完成使命的同时,我们的人生也会大放光彩。 现代职场中并不缺少有能力的人,而是缺少责任与能力并有的

人。一个人能力再强,如果他不愿意付出,他就不能为企业创造价值,而一个愿意为企业全身心付出的员工,即使能力稍逊一筹,也能够创造出最大的价值来。这就是人们常常说的“用B级人才办A级事情”、“用A级人才却办不成B级事情”。一个人是不是人才固然很关键,但最关键的还在于这个人才是不是真正负责任的人。 责任比能力更重要,只有责任,才能让每个人拥有勇往直前的勇气,才能使每个人产生强大的精神动力,才能使每个人积极投入到工作中去,并将自己的潜能发挥到极致。事实上,也只有那些勇于承担责任的人才有可能被赋予更多的使命,才有资格获得更大的荣誉。 一位企业家曾说过:“一个人可以清贫,可以不伟大,但不可以没有责任感。”意识到自己的责任,承担起自己的责任,相信我们所在的企业会因为我们这份责任感而变得更加辉煌和强大,而我们的人生也会因此而拥有更多的卓越和精彩。让我们勇敢承担起责任吧! 【篇二【小雅文库】】 何为责任?责任是一个人份内应该做的事情,是做好应该做好的工作,承担应该承担的任务,完成应该完成的使命。 两者之间存在什么样的联系呢?我个人觉得能力是基础,责任是关键。首先责任意识决定了工作态度,而工作能力包含了对工作的态度、认识程度、执行情况等等;其次工作能力包括责任意识,而责任意识会对工作能力产生直接的影响,因为责任意识产生于人自身对事物发展的态度,是一个人对外界感知从而行动的关键。也就是说,态度决定了一切,有了责任意识,自然会对这个事情的始末进行细致的

奥巴马开学演讲稿中英对照 阿文弗吉尼亚州,阿林顿市,2009年9月8日 嗨,大家好!你们今天过得怎么样?我现在和弗吉尼 亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起,全国各 地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里,我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。 我知道,对你们中的许多人来说,今天是开学的第 一天,你们中的有一些刚刚进入幼儿园或升上初高中, 对你们来说,这是在新学校的第一天,因此,假如你们 感到有些紧张,那也是很正常的。我想也会有许多毕业 班的学生们正自信满满地准备最后一年的冲刺。不过, 我想无论你有多大、在读哪个年级,许多人都打心底里 希望现在还在放暑假,以及今天不用那么早起床。 我可以理解这份心情。小时候,我们家在印度尼西 亚住过几年,而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学 的地方去读书,因此她决定自己给我上课时间是每周一 到周五的凌晨4点半。 显然,我不怎么喜欢那么早就爬起来,很多时候, 我就这么在厨房的桌子前睡着了。每当我埋怨的时候, 我妈总会用同一副表情看着我说:小鬼,你以为教你我 就很轻松? 所以,我可以理解你们中的许多人对于开学

还需要时间来调整和适应,但今天我站在这里,是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育,以及在新的学年里,你们应当做些什么。 我做过许多关于教育的讲话,也常常用到责任这个词。 我谈到过教师们有责任激励和启迪你们,督促你们学习。 我谈到过家长们有责任看管你们认真学习、完成作业,不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。我也很多次谈到过政府有责任设定高标准严要求、协助老师和校长们的工作,改变在有些学校里学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。 但哪怕这一切都达到最好,哪怕我们有最尽职的教师、最好的家长、和最优秀的学校,假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话,那么这一切努力都会白费。除非你每天准时去上学、除非你认真地听老师讲课、除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们说的话放在心上、除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力,否则这一切都会失去意义。 而这就是我今天讲话的主题:对于自己的教育,你们中每一个人的责任。首先,我想谈谈你们对于自己有什么责任。 你们中的每一个人都会有自己擅长的东西,每一个

因此,假如你们感到有些紧张,那也是很正常的。我想,也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满,还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级,许多人都打心底里希望现在还在放暑假,今天早上还能多睡一会儿,我可以理解这份心情。 小时候,我们家生活在海外,我在印度尼西亚住了几年,我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校。但他认为必须让我接受美式教育,因此,她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课,不过他还要上班,所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。你们可以想象,我不太情愿那么早起床,有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡了,每当我埋怨的时候,我妈妈总会用同一副表情看着我说:“小鬼,你以为教你我就很轻松?”。所以,我能理解你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。 但今天我站在这里,是为了和你们谈一些重要的事情。我要和你们谈一谈你们每个人的教育,以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的期望。我做过许多关于教育的讲话,也常常用到“责任”这个词,我谈到过教师们有责任激励你们,督促你们学习;我谈到过家长们有责任确保你们走正道,完成家庭作业,不要成天只会看电视或游戏机;我也多次谈过政府有责任制定高标准,协助老师和校长们的工作,改变在有些学校学生得不到应有学习机会的现状。但是,哪怕这一切都达到最好,哪怕我们拥有最敬业的教师、最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校,假如你们不去履行自己责任的话,那么这一切努力都会白费!除非你每天都会准时去上学;除非你认真地听老师讲课;除非你把父母、长辈和大人们的话放在心上;除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力,否则这

奥巴马对美国中学生的演讲

奥巴马::我们的教育我们的未来 (2009年9月8日弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿威克菲尔德高中) 大家好,大家今天都好吗?我现在是和弗吉尼亚州韦柯菲尔德高中的学生在一起。全国各地的学生,从幼儿园到12年级,也都在收听。我很高兴你们大家今天都参与了进来。 我知道对你们中的很多人来说,今天是开学第一天。而对于那些在幼儿园或是刚刚开始初中或高中生涯的你来说,今天还是你们在新学校的第一天,所以你们难免会有一点紧张,这是很可以理解的。我还想象着今天会有一些高年级学生这会儿可能感觉挺不错的,因为还有一年就可以毕业了。不管现在你们上几年级了,有些人可能希望现在还是夏天,今天早上可能还会有点不想起床。 我完全理解这种感觉。在我小的时候,我们家在印度尼西亚生活过几年。那时候我妈妈没有足够的钱送我去全是美国孩子念书的学校。所以她决定自己给我额外补一些课,开始于周一到周五的每天早上4:30。 起这么早我可是不怎么有愉快的心情。很多次,我就趴在厨房的桌子上睡着了。但是每一次我要抱怨的时候,我妈妈就会那样看着我说:“这对我来说也不是什么享受,小家伙。” 所以我知道你们中有一些人还在调整自己重返学校。但是我今天在这里的原因是有一些重要的事情想和你们商讨。我在这里是因为想和你们谈谈你们的学习,在新学年里对大家的期望。 关于教育我做了很多次演讲了。而且有关责任我也谈了很多。我已经谈过了你们的教师启发你们,推动你们学习的责任。我讲过了你们的父母让你们坚持学习,做家庭作业,不要整天看电视,玩Xbox的责任。我讲了很多政府制定高标准,支持教师和校长,改善那些运转不良以至于学生得不到应有机会的那些学校的责任。 但是最后,我们可以有最专注的教师,最支持的父母,以及世界上最好的学校,而只有当你们都履行了你们的责任时,这些因素才能发挥作用。只有你们到学校来上课,注意听老师讲课,听父母,祖父母以及其他大人的话,努力学习,才能成功。 这就是今天我想重点讲的主题:你们每一个人对你们的教育所负有的责任。
