1、奥巴马开学的演讲稿的时间。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 nee
2、d 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.没有哪一个人一生出来就擅长做什么事情的,只有努力才能培养出技能。任何人都不是在第一次接触一项体育运动时就成为校队的代表,任何人都不是在第一次唱一首歌时就找准每一个音,一切都需要熟能生巧。对于学业也是一样,你或许要反复运算才能解出一道数学题的正确答案,你或许需要读一段文字好几遍才能理解它的意思,你或许得把论文改上好几次才能符
3、合提交的标准。这都是很正常的。不要害怕提问。不要不敢向他人求助。我每天都在这么做。求助并不是软弱的表现,恰恰相反,它说明你有勇气承认自己的不足、并愿意去学习新的知识。所以,有不懂时,就向大人们求助吧找个你信得过的对象,例如父母、长辈、老师、教练或辅导员让他们帮助你向目标前进。No one s born being good at all things. You bee good at things through hard work. You re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don t hit
4、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
5、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
6、 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.你要记住,哪怕你表现不好、哪怕你失去信心、哪怕你觉得身边的人都已经放弃了你永远不要自己放弃自己。因为当你放弃自己的时候,你也放弃了自己的国家。And even when you re struggling, ev
7、en 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.美国不是一个人们遭遇困难就轻易放弃的国度,在这个国家,人们坚持到底、人们加倍努力,为了他们所热爱的国度,每一个人都尽着自己最大的努力,不会给自己留任何余地。The story of America isn t about people who
8、 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.250年前,有一群和你们一样的学生,他们之后奋起努力、用一场革命最终造就了这个国家;75 年前,有一群和你们一样的学生,他们之后战胜了大萧条、赢得了二战;就在20年前,和你们一样的学生们,他们后来创立了 Google、Twitter 和Facebook,改变了我们人与人之间沟通的方式。因此,今天我想
9、要问你们,你们会做出什么样的贡献?你们将解决什么样的难题?你们能发现什么样的事物?二十、五十或百年之后,假如那时的美国总统也来做一次开学演讲的话,他会怎样描述你们对这个国家所做的一切?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 Depressi
10、on 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 municate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what s your contribution going to be? What proble
11、ms are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who es here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?你们的家长、你们的老师和我,每一个人都在尽最大的努力,确保你们都能得到应有的教育来回答这些问题。例如我正在努力为你们提供更安全的教室、更多的书籍、更先进的设施与计算机。但你们也要担起自己的责任。因此我要求你们在今年能够认真起来,我要求你们尽心地去做自己着手的每一件事,我
12、要求你们每一个人都有所成就。请不要让我们失望不要让你的家人、你的国家和你自己失望。你们要成为我们骄傲,我知道,你们一定可以做到。谢谢大家,上帝保佑你们,上帝保佑美国。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 equ
13、ipment and the puters 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.
