奥巴马开学演讲经典语句:我们为什么要上学
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。
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。
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 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。
而我妈妈没钱送我去其他美国孩子们上学的地方去读书,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上课。不过因为她要上夜班,所以只能在凌晨4点半给我上课。
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。
我们需要你们中的每一个人都培养和发展自己的天赋、技能和才智,帮助老一辈人解决我们面临的最棘手的问题。假如你不这么做——假如你放弃学习——那么你不仅放弃了自己,也放弃了你的国家。
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。
但归根结底,你的生活状况——你的长相、出身、经济条件、家庭氛围——都不是疏忽学业和态度恶劣的借口,这些不是你去跟老师顶嘴、逃课、或是辍学的借口,这些不是你不好好读书的借口。
Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up。 No one’s written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny。 You make your own future。 That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America。
你的未来,并不取决于你现在的生活有多好或多坏。没有人为你编排好你的命运,在美国,你的命运由你自己书写,你的未来由你自己掌握。而在这片土地上的每个地方,千千万万和你一样的年轻人正是这样在书写着自己的命运。
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。
因此,在今天,我号召你们每一个人都为自己的教育定下一个目标——并在之后,尽自己的一切努力去实现它。你的目标可以很简单,像是完成作业、认真听讲或每天阅读。
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。
当然,除此之外,我希望你们都多多洗手、感到身体不舒服的时候要多在家休息,免得大家在秋冬感冒高发季节都得流感。
But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it。 I want you to really work at it。
不管你决定做什么,我都希望你能坚持到底,希望你能真的下定决心。
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。
我知道有些时候,电视上播放的节目会让你产生这样那样的错觉,似乎你不需要付出多大的努力就能腰缠万贯、功成名就——你会认为只要会唱rap、会打篮球或参加个什么真人秀节目就能坐享其成。但现实是,你几乎没有可能走上其中任何一条道路。
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。
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。
