的開學(xué)演講稿英文【1】
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!謝謝你們。謝謝你們。謝謝你們大家。好,大家請就坐。你們今天都好嗎?(掌聲)蒂姆·斯派塞(Tim Spicer)好嗎?(掌聲)我現(xiàn)在與弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學(xué)生們在一起。美國各地從小學(xué)預(yù)備班到中學(xué)12年級的學(xué)生正在收聽收看。我很高興大家今天都能參與。我還要感謝韋克菲爾德高中出色的組織安排。請為你們自己熱烈鼓掌。(掌聲)
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,今天是你們很多人開學(xué)的日子。對于進(jìn)入小學(xué)預(yù)備班、初中或高中的學(xué)生,今天是你們來到新學(xué)校的第一天,心里可能有點(diǎn)緊張,這是可以理解的。我能想象有些畢業(yè)班學(xué)生現(xiàn)在感覺很不錯——(掌聲)——還有一年就畢業(yè)了。不論在哪個年級,你們有些人可能希望暑假更長一點(diǎn),今天早上還能多睡一小會兒。
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.
我了解這種感覺。我小時候,我們家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亞住了幾年。我媽媽沒有錢送我上其他美國孩子上的學(xué)校,但她認(rèn)為必須讓我接受美式教育。因此,她決定從周一到周五自己給我補(bǔ)課。不過她還要上班,所以只能在清晨四點(diǎn)半給我上課。
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 kitchen 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.
)
你們可以想見,我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡著了。但每當(dāng)我抱怨的時候,我媽媽都會那樣地看我一眼,然后說:“小子,這對我也并不輕松。”(笑聲)
So I know that some 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.
我知道你們有些人還在適應(yīng)開學(xué)后的生活。但我今天來到這里是因?yàn)橛兄匾氖虑橐湍銈冋f。我來這里是要和你們談?wù)勀銈兊慕逃龁栴},以及在這個新學(xué)年對你們所有人的期望。
Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.
And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.
我做過很多次有關(guān)教育問題的演講。我多次談到過責(zé)任問題。
I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.
我談到過教師激勵學(xué)生并督促他們學(xué)習(xí)的責(zé)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.
我談到過家長的責(zé)任,要確保你們走正路,完成家庭作業(yè),不要整天坐在電視前或玩Xbox游戲。
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.
我多次談到過政府的責(zé)任,要制定高標(biāo)準(zhǔn),支持教師和校長的工作,徹底改善不能為學(xué)生提供應(yīng)有機(jī)會的、教育質(zhì)量差的學(xué)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,即使我們擁有最敬業(yè)的教師,最盡力的家長和全世界最好的學(xué)!绻銈兇蠹也宦男心銈兊呢(zé)任,不到校上課,不專心聽講,不聽家長、祖父祖母和其他大人的話,不付出取得成功所必須的勤奮努力,那么這一切都毫無用處,都無關(guān)緊要。這就是我今天講話的重點(diǎn):你們每個人對自己的教育應(yīng)盡的責(zé)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.
我首先要講講你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。你們每個人都有自己的長處。你們每個人都能做出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。你們對自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任是發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的能力所在。而教育能夠提供這樣的機(jī)會。
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.
你或許能成為一名出色的作家——甚至可能寫書或在報紙上發(fā)表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文課的作文后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名創(chuàng)新者或發(fā)明家——甚至可能設(shè)計(jì)出新一代iPhone或研制出新型藥物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成科學(xué)課的實(shí)驗(yàn)后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。你或許能成為一名市長或參議員或最高法院的大法官——但你可能要在參加學(xué)生會的工作或辯論隊(duì)后才會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的才華。
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.
不論你的生活志向是什么,我敢肯定你必須上學(xué)讀書才能實(shí)現(xiàn)它。你想當(dāng)醫(yī)生、教師或警官嗎?你想當(dāng)護(hù)士、建筑師、律師或軍人嗎?你必須接受良好的教育,才能從事上述任何一種職業(yè)。你不能指望輟學(xué)后能碰上個好工作。你必須接受培訓(xùn),為之努力,為之學(xué)習(xí)。
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.
這并非只對你個人的人生和未來意義重大?梢院敛豢浯蟮卣f,教育給你帶來的益處將決定這個國家的未來。美國的未來取決于你們。你們今日在校學(xué)習(xí)的知識將決定我們作為一個國家是否能夠迎接我們未來所面臨的最嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)。
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.
你們將需要利用你們通過自然科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)課程所學(xué)到的知識和解決問題的能力來治愈癌癥、艾滋病及其他疾病,開發(fā)新的能源技術(shù)和保護(hù)我們的環(huán)境。你們將需要利用你們在歷史學(xué)和社會學(xué)課堂上所獲得的知識和獨(dú)立思考能力來抗擊貧困和解決無家可歸問題,打擊犯罪和消除歧視,使我們的國家更公平、更自由。你們將需要利用你們在所有課堂上培養(yǎng)的創(chuàng)造力和智慧來創(chuàng)辦新公司,增加就業(yè)機(jī)會,振興我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)。
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.
我們需要你們每個人發(fā)揮你們的聰明才智和技能,以便幫助老一輩人解決我們面臨的最棘手問題。如果你們不這樣做,如果你們輟學(xué),你們不僅僅是自暴自棄,也是拋棄自己的國家。
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.
我自然知道要做到學(xué)業(yè)優(yōu)秀并非總是易事。我知道你們許多人在生活中面臨挑戰(zhàn),難以集中精力從事學(xué)業(yè)。
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.
我明白這一點(diǎn)。 我有親身感受。兩歲時,我父親離家而去,我是由一位單親母親撫養(yǎng)成人的,母親不得不工作,并時常為支付生活費(fèi)用而苦苦掙扎,但有時仍無法為我們提供其他孩子享有的東西。有時,我渴望生活中能有一位父親。有時我感到孤獨(dú),感到自己不適應(yīng)社會。
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.
我并非總是像我應(yīng)該做到的那樣專心學(xué)習(xí),我也曾做過我如今不能引以為豪的一些事情,我曾惹過不應(yīng)該惹的麻煩。我的人生原本會輕易陷入更糟糕的境地。

the future of america dependon you.
what you're learning in school todawill determine whether we aa nation can meet our greatest challengein the future.
you'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skillyou learn in science and math to cure diseaselike cancer and aids, and to develop new energtechnologieand protect our environment.
you'll need the insightand critical-thinking skillyou gain in historand social studieto fight povertand homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.

now, i know it'not alwayeasto do well in school.
i know a lot of you have challengein your liveright now that can make it hard to focuon your schoolwork.
i get it.
i know what it'like.
mfather left mfamilwhen i watwo yearold, and i waraised ba single mom who had to work and who struggled at timeto pathe billand wasn't alwayable to give uthe thingthat other kidhad.
there were timewhen i missed having a father in mlife.
there were timewhen i waloneland i felt like i didn't fit in.
so i wasn't alwayafocused ai should have been on school, and i did some thingi'm not proud of, and i got in more trouble than i should have.
and mlife could have easiltaken a turn for the worse.
but i wa-- i walucky.
i got a lot of second chances, and i had the opportunitto go to college and law school and follow mdreams.
mwife, our first ladmichelle obama, she haa similar story.
neither of her parenthad gone to college, and thedidn't have a lot of money.
but theworked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schoolin thicountry.
some of you might not have those advantages.
maybe you don't have adultin your life who give you the support that you need.
maybe someone in your familhalost their joand there'not enough moneto go around.
maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friendwho are pressuring you to do thingyou know aren't right.
but at the end of the day, the circumstanceof your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much moneyou have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that ian excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school.
that'no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.
there ino excuse for not trying.
where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.
no one'written your destinfor you, because here in america, you write your own destiny.
you make your own future.
that'what young people like you are doing everday, all acrosamerica.
young people like jazmin perez, from roma, texas.
jazmin didn't speak english when she first started school.
neither of her parenthad gone to college.
but she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to brown universit-- inow in graduate school, studying public health, on her wato becoming dr.
jazmin perez.
i'm thinking about andoni schultz, from loaltos, california, who'fought brain cancer since he wathree.
he'had to endure all sortof treatmentand surgeries, one of which affected himemory, so it took him much longer -- hundredof extra hour-- to do hischoolwork.
but he never fell behind.
he'headed to college thifall.
and then there'shantell steve, from mhometown of chicago, illinois.
even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoodin the city, she managed to get a joat a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she'on track to graduate high school with honorand go on to college.
and jazmin, andoni, and shantell aren't andifferent from anof you.
theface challengein their livejust like you do.
in some casethey've got it a lot worse off than manof you.
but therefused to give up.
thechose to take responsibilitfor their lives, for their education, and set goalfor themselves.
and i expect all of you to do the same.
that'whtodai'm calling on each of you to set your own goalfor your education -- and do everything you can to meet the your goal can be something asimple adoing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each dareading 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 for kidwho are being teased or bullied because of who theare or how thelook, because you believe, like i do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to studand learn.
maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more readto learn.
and along those lines, bthe way, i hope all of you are washing your handa lot, and that you stahome from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu thifall and winter.
but whatever you resolve to do, i want you to commit to it.
i want you to reallwork at it.
i know that sometimeyou get that sense from tv that you can be rich and successful without anhard work -- that your ticket to succesithrough rapping or basketball or being a realittv star.
chanceare you're not going to be anof those things.
the truth is, being successful ihard.
you won't love eversubject that you study.
you won't click with everteacher that you have.
not everhomework assignment will seem completelrelevant to your life right at thiminute.
and you won't necessarilsucceed at everything the first time you try.
that'okay.
some of the most successful people in the world are the onewho've had the most failures.
j.
k.
rowling'-- who wrote harrpotter -- her first harrpotter book warejected 12 timebefore it wafinallpublished.
michael jordan wacut from hihigh school basketball tea he lost hundredof gameand missed thousandof shotduring hicareer.
but he once said, "i have failed over and over and over again in mlife.
and that'whi succeed.
"
these people succeeded because theunderstood that you can't let your failuredefine you -- you have to let your failureteach you.
you have to let them show you what to do differentlthe next time.
so if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it meanyou need to trharder to act right.
if you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just meanyou need to spend more time studying.
no one'born being good at all things.
you become good at thingthrough hard work.
you're not a varsitathlete the first time you plaa new sport.
you don't hit evernote the first time you sing a song.
you've got to practice.
the same principle applieto your schoolwork.
you might have to do a math problem a few timebefore you get it right.
you might have to read something a few timebefore you understand it.
you definitelhave to do a few draftof a paper before it'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 everday.
asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it'a sign of strength because it showyou have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allowyou 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 staon track to meet your goals.
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.
the storof america isn't about people who quit when thinggot tough.
it'about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their countrtoo much to do anything lesthan their best.
it'the storof studentwho sat where you sit 250 yearago, and went on to wage a revolution and thefounded thination.
young people.
studentwho sat where you sit 75 yearago who overcame a depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rightand put a man on the moon.
studentwho sat where you sit 20 yearago who founded google and changed the wawe communicate with each other.
so today, i want to ask all of you, what'your contribution going to be? what problemare you going to solve? what discoveriewill you make? what will a president who comehere in 20 or 50 or 100 yearsaabout what all of you did for thicountry?
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 classroomand get you the bookand the equipment and the computeryou need to learn.
but you've got to do your part, too.
so i expect all of you to get seriouthiyear.
i expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.
i expect great thingfrom each of you.
so don't let udown.
don't let your famildown or your countrdown.
most of all, don't let yourself down.
make uall proud.
thank you vermuch, everybody.
god blesyou.
god blesamerica.
thank you.(applause.)
