奥巴马--无畏的希望

Keynote Address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention

无畏的希望让奥巴马迈向白宫的演讲

希望就是勇气，希望就是力量：2004年7月27日在民主党全国代表大会上的致辞巴拉克·奥巴马文海星译On behalf of the great state of Illinois, crossroads of a nation, land of Lincoln, let me express my deep gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention. Tonight is a particular honor for me because, let's face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant.

作为伟大的伊利诺斯州——全国的交通枢纽，林肯的故乡——的代表，我为有向此次大会致辞的机会而深感荣幸。今晚于我而言是一份特殊的荣耀。我们得承认，我出现在这个讲坛上是件不可思议的事。我的父亲是个外国留学生，在肯尼亚的一个小村庄出生并长大，他幼时牧羊，在铁皮顶做成的简陋小屋里上学。他的父亲，我的祖父，是个厨师，一个佣人。

But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place: America, which stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. While studying here, my father met my mother. She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor he signed up for duty, joined Patton's army and marched across Europe. Back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA, and moved west in search of opportunity.

但我祖父对他的儿子有更大的梦想。艰辛的努力和顽强的毅力使父亲拿到了到美国留学的奖学金。美国是一片神奇的国土，它对于许多未曾来过的人而言是自由和机会的象征。在留学期间，父亲遇到了母亲。她出生在世界另一端的堪萨斯的一个小镇上。她父亲在大萧条时期为了养家糊口，不是在石油钻塔下打工，就是在农场务农。珍珠港事件后他自愿入伍，进入巴顿的部队，曾在整个欧洲大陆辗转作战。在后方家中，外祖母养育着他们的孩子，并在一条轰炸机流水线上工作。战后，他们研究了士兵福利法案，通过联邦住宅管理局买了一套房子，并移居到西部寻找机会。

And they, too, had big dreams for their daughter, a common dream, born of two continents. My parents shared not only an improbable love; they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or "blessed," believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren't rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential. They are both passed away now. Yet, I know that, on this night, they look down on me with pride.

他们对他们的女儿也很大的梦想。一个共通的梦想，在两个不同的大陆生发。我的父母不仅共享不可思议的爱恋，他们还共同坚守这个国家有巨大潜力的不渝信念。他们赐予我一个非洲名字，巴拉克，意为“受神福佑的”。他们相信在宽容大度的美国，一个人的名字不是通向成功的障碍。尽管生活并不富裕，但他们想让我去这片土地最好的学校就读，因为在富足的美国，你即使不富裕也能发掘你的潜力。现在他们都过世了。不过我知道，在这个夜晚，他们满怀骄傲自天堂注视我。

I stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents' dreams live on in my precious daughters. I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible. Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago, "We hold these truths to he self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with

certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

今天我站在这里，为我独特的血统满怀感激，并知道我父母的愿望正在我的两个宝贝女儿身上延续。我站在这里，知道我的故事是更宏伟的美国故事的一部分，也知道我们不能忘却那些在我之前来到这里的人，更知道我的故事这个世界的任何其他地方都不可能发生。今晚，我们欢聚一堂重申我们民族的荣耀，这个荣耀并不在于我们的摩天大楼有多高，也不在于我们的军备实力有多强，更不在于我们经济的规模有多大。我们的自豪感建筑在一个相当简单的前提上，两百多年前它就在一个宣言中被这样概括：”我们坚持以下真理不言而喻：众生平等。造物主赋予他们某些不可被剥夺的权利，它们包括：生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。”

That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody's son. That we can participate in the political process wi thout fear of retribution, and that our votes will he counted - or at least, most of the time.

这是美国真正的天才：坚信她的人民简单而纯朴的梦想，坚信小小的奇迹会发生。我们能在深夜给孩子掖好被子时确信他们衣食无忧且远离伤害。我们能想到什么就说什么，想到什么就写什么，而毋庸担心突然被政府找上门来。我们能生发一个想法后就去开创自己的生意，而无须行贿或雇佣某人的子女。我们能参与政治过程而不必担心被惩罚，并且，至少多数时候，我们的选票是有用的。

This year, in this election, we are called to reaffirm our values and commitments, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up, to the legacy of our forbearers, and the promise of future generations. And fellow Americans - Democrats, Republicans, Independents - I say to you tonight: we have more work to do. More to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that's moving to Mexico, and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour. More to do for the father I met who was losing his job and choking back tears, wondering how he would pay $4,500 a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits he counted on. More to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn't have the money to go to college.

今年，在这次选举中，我们要重申我们的价值观和责任，秉持它们去对抗艰难时局；并留心我们怎样才能继承先辈的遗产，实现对子孙的承诺。美国公民们，——民主党人、共和党人、无党派人士——，今晚我想对你们说：我们还有更多的工作要做。要为我在伊利诺斯州盖尔斯堡市（Galesburg）遇到工人们做更多的努力，他们丢失了在即将搬迁到墨西哥的Maytag洗衣机工厂车间的工作，现今被迫同他们的子女争抢每小时7美金的工作机会。要为我遇到的一个失了业、克制住不流泪的父亲做更多的努力，他在担心没有他可以依赖的医疗保险他如何负担儿子每个月所需的4500美金的医药费。要为东圣路易斯市的一个年轻女孩和千千万万和她一样的人做更多的努力，——她有成绩、有动力和意愿，却没有钱去读大学。

Don't get me wrong. The people I meet in small towns and big cities, in diners and office parks, they don't expect government to solve all their problems. They know they have to work hard to get ahead and they want to. Go into the collar counties around Chicago, and people will tell you they don't want their tax money wasted by a welfare agency or the Pentagon. Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach kids to learn. They know that parents have to parent, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white. No, people don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open

(完美精华版)奥巴马演讲中英文对照

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, our sense of patriotism is particularly strong. Because while we gather here under open skies, we know that far beyond the Organ Mountains – in the streets of Baghdad, and the outskirts of Kabul – America's sons and daughters are sacrificing on our behalf. And our thoughts and prayers are with them. I speak to you today with deep humility. My grandfather marched in Patton's Army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you. My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have. I am the father of two young girls, and I cannot imagine what it is to lose a child. My heart breaks for the families who've lost a loved one. These are things I cannot know. But there are also some things I do know. I know that our sadness today is mixed with pride; that those we've lost will be remembered by a grateful nation; and that our presence here today is only possible because your loved ones, America's patriots, were willing to give their lives to defend our nation. I know that while we may come from different places, cherish different traditions, and have different political beliefs, we all –every one of us – hold in reverence those who've given this country the full measure of their devotion. And I know that children in New Mexico and across this country look to your children, to your brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, and friends –to those we honor today –as a shining example of what's best about America. Their lives are a model for us all. What led these men and women to wear their country's uniform? What is it that leads anyone to put aside their own pursuit of life's comforts; to subordinate their own sense of survival, for something bigger – something greater? Many of those we honor today were so young when they were killed. They had a whole life ahead of them – birthdays and weddings, holidays with children and grandchildren, homes and jobs and happiness of their own. And yet, at one moment or another, they felt the tug, just as generations of Americans did before them. Maybe it was a massacre in a Boston square; or a President's call to save the Union and free the slaves. Maybe it was the day of infamy that awakened a nation to a storm in the Pacific and a madman's death march across Europe. Or maybe it was the morning they woke up to see our walls of security crumble along with our two largest towers. Whatever the moment was, when it came and they felt that tug, perhaps it was simply the thought of a mom or a dad, a husband or a wife, or a child not yet born that made this young American think that it was time to go; that made them think "I must serve so that the people I love can live –in happiness, and safety, and freedom."

奥巴马总统写给女儿的信 Dear Malia and Sasha, I know that you‘ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn‘t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn‘t always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn‘t make up for all the time we‘ve been apart. I know how much I‘ve missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey. 亲爱的马莉亚和莎夏： 我知道这两年你们俩随我一路竞选都有过不少乐子，野餐、游行、逛州博览会，吃了各种或许我和你妈不该让你们吃的垃圾食物。然而我也知道，你们俩和你妈的日子，有时候并不惬意。新来的小狗虽然令你们兴奋，却无法弥补我们不在一起的所有时光。我明白这两年我错过的太多了，今天我要再向你们说说为何我决定带领我们一家走上这趟旅程。 When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I‘d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn‘t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn‘t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that‘s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation. 当我还年轻的时候，我认为生活就该绕着我转：我如何在这世上得心应手，成功立业，得到

奥巴马给女儿立下的家规

奥巴马给女儿立下的家规 2009-11-7 22:15:00 来源：人气：53 讨论：0条 几天前宣誓就职美国总统的奥巴马开创了新的美国和世界历史。但奥巴马的母亲无疑是一个伟大的教育者。奥巴马的母亲突破种族偏见嫁给黑人，在于奥巴马的父亲离婚后依然胸怀宽阔，为其父亲树立良好形象，并让奥巴马从小接受精英而多元化的教育，这些非常难得。 我记得在翻译《我父亲的梦想—奥巴马回忆录》一书的过程中有些很难忘的细节。比如奥巴马小时候六岁跟随母亲去印尼以后，由于母亲没有钱送他去国际校，只好就送他去了普通当地的印尼校，而这些校使用当地语言教。尽管如此，奥巴马母亲却深知早期教育的重要性，她加倍努力自己亲自辅导奥巴马的教育。 每周星期一到星期五，她都会在凌晨四点叫奥巴马起床，然后教他三个小时的英文，然后奥巴马再去校接受当地教育，妈妈还要去上班。每天凌晨四点就起床教育自己的儿子三个小时，一周连续五天，这需要怎样的毅力和付出？并且他的母亲对他的寄望很高，从小教导奥巴马做人要诚恳、坦率、有主见。奥巴马的自信、魄力和拉近不同人群的能力，以及面对强势女性能处之泰然的特点，无一不反映了母亲的影响力。他们母子俩虽然长时间远隔重洋，但始终关系密切。 奥巴马后来在写给自己两个女儿的信中提到母亲对他的教育：“这正是我在你们这年纪时，外婆想要教我的功课，她把独立宣言开头几行念给我听，告诉我有一些男女为了争取平等挺身而出游行抗议，因为他们认为两个世纪前白纸黑字写下来的这些句子，不应只是空话。她让我了解到，美国所以伟大，不是因为它完美，而是因为我们可以不断让它变得更好，而让它更好的未竞任务，就落在我们每个人的身上。”奥巴马的母亲把独立宣言念给奥巴马听，从小对他进行自由、民主和美国精神的教育，并且从小给他灌输了“领导国家”的理念，她对奥巴马说：“你不能像那些只顾享乐的人一样，总是坐等着机会送上门来。”正因为懂得抓住机会，才使得奥巴马总是能在机会面前抢先一步。这种对高层次理想的培养更是极难见到，当然也就造就了非同寻常的未来总统。 这种严格要求的教育方式也被奥巴马运用到教育自己的两个女儿，奥巴马在给10岁的马莉娅和7岁的萨莎写的信中敦促女儿在看到错误事物要挺身而出矫正，并努力工作让其它人也能获得“你们所拥有的机会”，他希望她们能成为有同情心和有责任感的女性，以助建造一个充满梦想和希望的世界。 奥巴马给她们设立以下家规：1.不准出现以下行为：抱怨、哭闹、争辩、纠缠和恶意嘲笑。2.自己的事情自己做，比如给自己冲麦片或倒牛奶，自己叠被子，自己上闹钟等等。3.如果干家务，每星期能从爸爸那里领得1美元零用钱。4.要求两个孩子安排充实课余生活:马莉娅跳舞、排戏、弹钢琴、打网球、玩橄榄球;萨莎练体操、弹钢琴、打网球、跳踢踏舞。 成功的家庭教育应是，家长注重锻炼孩子独立的生活能力，可以宠爱，但

奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文)

My fellow citizens: 各位同胞： I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. 今天我站在这里，为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑，对各位的信任心怀感激，对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务，也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。 Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. 四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言，这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表，或是在乌云密布，时局动荡之时。在艰困的时候，美国能箕裘相继，不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景，也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心，也忠于创建我国的法统。 So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 因此，美国才能承继下来。因此，这一代美国人必须承继下去。 That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. 现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。我们的经济元气大伤，是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果，也是大众未能做出艰难的选择，为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。许多人失去房子，丢了工作，生意垮了。我们的医疗照护太昂贵，学校教育辜负了许多人。每天都有更多证据显示，我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌，威胁我们的星球。 These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. 这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。比较无法测量但同样深沉的，是举国信心尽失—持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退，也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。 Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. 今天我要告诉各位，我们面临的挑战是真的，挑战非常严重，且不在少数。它们不是可以轻易，或在短时间内解决。但是，美国要了解，这些挑战会被解决。 On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

美国总统奥巴马给女儿的一封信!

美国总统奥巴马给女儿的一封信！ 2013-10-09德国隆尼施钢琴 亲爱的马莉亚和莎夏： 我知道，这两年来，你们俩随我一路竞选都有过不少乐子，野餐、游行、逛州博览会，吃了各种或许我和你母亲不该让你们吃的垃圾食物。然而，我也知道，你们俩和你母亲的日子，有时候并不惬意。新来的小狗虽然令你们兴奋，却无法弥补我们不在一起的所有时光。我明白这两年我错过的太多了，今天我要再向你们说说为何我决定带领我们一家走上这趟旅程。

当我还年轻的时候，我认为生活就该绕着我转：我如何在这世上得心应手，成功立业，得到我想要的。后来，你们俩进入了我的世界，带来的种种好奇、淘气和微笑，总能填充我的心，照亮我的日子。突然之间，我为自己谱写的伟大计划显得不再那么重要了。我很快便发现，我在你们生命中看到的快乐，就是我自己生命中最大的快乐。而我也同时体认到，如果我不能确保你们此生能够拥有追求幸福和自我实现的一切机会，我自己的生命也没多大价值。总而言之，我的女儿，这就是我竞选总统的原因：我要让你们俩和这个国家的每一个孩子，都能拥有我想要给他们的东西。

我要让所有儿童都在能够发掘他们潜能的学校就读；这些学校要能挑战他们，激励他们，并灌输他们对身处的这个世界的好奇心。我要他们有机会上大学，哪怕他们的父母并不富有。而且我要他们能找到好的任务：薪酬高还附带健康保险的任务，让他们有时间陪孩子、并且能带着尊严退休的任务。

我要大家向发现的极限挑战，让你在有生之年能够看见优化我们生活、使这个行星更干净、更安全的新科技和发明。我也要大家向自己的人际界限挑战，跨越使我们看不到对方长处的种族、地域、性别和宗教樊篱。 有时候，为了保护我们的国家，我们不得不把青年男女派到战场或其他危险的地方，然而，当我们这么做的时候，我要确保师出有名，我们尽了全力以和平方式化解与他人的争执，也想尽了一切办法保障男女官兵的安全。我要每个孩子都明白，这些勇敢的美国人在战场上捍卫的福祉是无法平白得到的：在享有作为这个国家公民的伟大特权之际，重责大任也随之而来。这正是我在你们这年纪时，外婆想要教我的功课，她把独立宣言开头几行念给我听，告诉我有一些男女为了争取平等挺身而出游行抗议，因为他们认为两个世纪前白纸黑字写下来的这些句子，不应只是空话。

奥巴马竞选胜利演讲(中英文对照)

Thank you so much. 非常感谢。 Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. 今晚，曾经的殖民国在赢得主权200多年后， It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. 历史因为你们而走到了这里，因为你们坚信我们的国家能克服战争与萧条，能摆脱绝望深渊走向希望的峰顶，坚信我们每个人都能追求自己的梦，我们生活在共同的美国大家庭，同舟共济。 Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come. 今晚，在选举中，你们，美国人民，告诉了我们，虽然路漫漫其修远，但我们能挺直腰杆、峰回路转，我们都心中有数，美利坚合众国最美好的未来还未到来。 I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that.

作文素材 一、奥巴马——美国总统 1、奥巴马的成功得益于他的母亲（勤奋、爱国，立志当高远，） 家庭教育对成才的重要性面临困难时人该如何做 美国总统的奥巴马开创了新的美国和世界历史。但奥巴马的母亲无疑是一个伟大的教育者。奥巴马的母亲突破种族偏见嫁给黑人，在于奥巴马的父亲离婚后依然胸怀宽阔，为其父亲树立良好形象，并让奥巴马从小接受精英而多元化的教育，这些非常难得。我记得在翻译《我父亲的梦想—奥巴马回忆录》一书的过程中有些很难忘的细节。比如奥巴马小时候六岁跟随母亲去印尼以后，由于母亲没有钱送他去国际学校，只好就送他去了普通当地的印尼学校，而这些学校使用当地语言教学。尽管如此，奥巴马母亲却深知早期教育的重要性，她加倍努力自己亲自辅导奥巴马的教育。每周星期一到星期五，她都会在凌晨四点叫奥巴马起床，然后教他三个小时的英文，然后奥巴马再去学校接受当地教育，妈妈还要去上班。每天凌晨四点就起床教育自己的儿子三个小时，一周连续五天，这需要怎样的毅力和付出？并且他的母亲对他的寄望很高，从小教导奥巴马做人要诚恳、坦率、有主见。奥巴马的自信、魄力和拉近不同人群的能力，以及面对强势女性能处之泰然的特点，无一不反映了母亲的影响力。他们母子俩虽然长时间远隔重洋，但始终关系密切。 奥巴马后来在写给自己两个女儿的信中提到母亲对他的教育：“这正是我在你们这年纪时，外婆想要教我的功课，她把独立宣言开头几行念给我听，告诉我有一些男女为了争取平等挺身而出游行抗议，因为他们认为两个世纪前白纸黑字写下来的这些句子，不应只是空话。她让我了解到，美国所以伟大，不是因为它完美，而是因为我们可以不断让它变得更好，而让它更好的未竞任务，就落在我们每个人的身上。”奥巴马的母亲把独立宣言念给奥巴马听，从小对他进行自由、民主和美国精神的教育，并且从小给他灌输了“领导国家”的理念，她对奥巴马说：“你不能像那些只顾享乐的人一样，总是坐等着机会送上门来。”正因为懂得抓住机会，才使得奥巴马总是能在机会面前抢先一步。这种对高层次理想的培养更是极难见到，当然也就造就了非同寻常的未来总统。 二、书籍对奥巴马成长影响大 (坚持，文化对人的影响大于物质，积累，好奇) 除了很好的家教之外，奥巴马成长的过程中书籍对他的影响很大。他在美国哥伦比亚大学和哈佛大学读本科和研究生，这两所大学都是美国最顶尖的大学。学校的图书馆是奥巴马当年在哥伦比亚读书时花时间最多的地方，常常一呆就是一整天，在哥伦比亚大学期间，书籍是奥巴马最好的伴侣和朋友。现在网上最流行的一张奥巴马照片就是他在哈佛读书是手捧一本书的照片。读书的好习惯和博览群书性格帮助造就了奥巴马的成长与成功。 在战后美国历届总统中，奥巴马可能是最爱读书的，而且读书的也的确很多。从他自传广博的知识和优雅流畅的语言中我们能猜想他的阅读是非常丰富的。美国媒体也认为，他是美国很长时间以来难得一见的“有文化的总统”。他在自传中提到，每次遇到问题时，他都会找来相关的书阅读，希望从书中得到些启示。奥巴马认为塑造他人生、最感动的书是《圣经》。还有莎士比亚的悲剧，不管《哈姆莱特》还是《李尔王》，每一部悲剧都那么丰富。你可以一年读一次，每年都读，年年有新意，年年都有你不曾留意的东西，书里有对人性两难境遇的洞察，非常有力。 著名文学学者李欧梵说：“即使奥巴马选不上总统，他也有足够资格成为一名作家。”并称赞该书是“富于文学性的大手笔”。从回忆父亲到回忆自己的幼年经历，从因身份焦虑而堕落到回到非洲寻求来自父亲的梦想，青年奥巴马的人生围绕寻求非同寻常的种族身份而展开，并被附上了找寻梦想的内涵。这样很符合政治家自传要达到宣传自己的“政治正确”的目标。于是我想到，听奥巴马的竞选成功演讲时那些让人记忆深刻的句子，我相信他的演讲稿多数是他亲自写就，因为它们的风格、遣词造句与他这本自传的语言都是一致的晓畅优雅。 三、（创新） 45岁的奥巴马演说极具魅力，灿烂的笑容更虏获许多民众的心。与过去有意竞选总统的黑人前辈相比，奥巴马是首位在初选前民调获得全国性支持的明日之星，打败2008年民主党总统候选人的热门人选之一的希拉里，成为民主党总统竞选人。在演说中他提出消除党派分歧和种族分歧、实现“一个美国”的梦想。 奥巴马的出身和家庭背景决定他在外交政策的走向上可能会更为包容，采用更多的协商，并更多地从对方的角度揣测问题，从而制定比较温和的决策。他的混血、他的不白不黑的肤色都使他在小的时候极难进入白人或是黑人的小圈子，有不少孤独和反叛。对这样一个有着跨文化、跨宗族并在亚洲生活过多年的人，他的外交政策肯定不是单一的、以美国为绝对中心的。他跟亚洲人的接触可能使得他对东方文化有更多的了解，对第三世界的贫穷和它们的政治转型有更为细致的感悟。
