奥巴马国情咨文演讲稿（2015年）
奥巴马2015国情咨文演讲
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans:
议长先生，副总统先生，国会议员们，美国同胞们：
We are 15 years into this new century. Fifteen years that dawned with terror touching our shores; that unfolded with a new generation fighting two long and costly wars; that saw a vicious recession spread across our nation and the world.
It has been, and still is, a hard time for many。
我们跨入新世纪已经15年了。新世纪一开始，我们就遭受了恐怖袭击，新一代人就投入
了两场旷日持久而又代价昂贵的战争，后来又发生了席卷全国乃至全球的恶性衰退。对很多人来说，那时候是，现在也仍然是一段艰难的时期。
But tonight, we turn the page. Tonight, after a breakthrough year for America, our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999. Our unemployment rate is now lower than it was before the financial crisis. More of
our kids are graduating than ever before. More of our people are insured than ever before. And we are as free from the grip of foreign oil as we've been in almost 30 years。
但是今天晚上，我们将翻开新的一页。今晚，在美国取得了突破性进展的一年后，我们的经济在增长，新的就业机会在以1999年以来最快的速度增加。我们现在的失业率甚至低于金
融危机之前。从学校毕业的孩子人数比以往任何时候都多，得到医疗保障的民众也超过以往，我们还打破了过去近30年一直依赖外国石油的状态。
Tonight, for the first time since 9/11, our combat mission in Afghanistan is over. Six years ago, nearly 180,000 American troops served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, fewer than 15,000 remain. And we salute the courage and sacrifice of every man and woman in this 9/11 Generation who has served to keep us safe. We are humbled and grateful for your service。
今晚，我们自9·11恐怖袭击以来首次结束了在阿富汗的战斗任务。6年前，将近18万
美国军人在阿富汗或是伊拉克服役，今天，留守那里的只有不到15000人。我们向9·11之后一代服役的男女军人所付出的牺牲和所展示的勇气表示敬意，因为他们的守护，我们得以安全。我们对你们的服务充满敬意和感激。
America, for all that we have endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this: The shadow of crisis
has passed, and the State of the union is strong。
美国同胞，为了我们所承受的一切，为了重振所需要的努力和辛苦工作，为了面前的任务，我们应该明白：危机的阴影已过去，我们的国家现在很强大。
At this moment -- with a growing economy, shrinking deficits, bustling industry, booming energy production -- we have risen from recession freer to write our own future than any other nation on Earth. It's now up to us to choose who we want to be over the next 15 years and for decades to come。
此时此刻，随着我们经济的发展、财政赤字的缩减、工业的兴旺发展、以及能源生产的蒸蒸日上，我们摆脱了经济衰退，比地球上任何其他国家都更加自由地书写我们的未来。现在我们可以自主选择我们未来十五年、乃至未来的几十年要成为什么样子。
Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well? Or
will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances
for everyone who makes the effort?
我们要接受一种只有极个别人能大发横财的经济?还是应该致力于发展使每一个努力的人
都能够增加收入、得到机会的经济?
Will we approach the world fearful and reactive, dragged into costly conflicts that strain our military and set back our standing? Or will we lead wisely, using all elements of our power to defeat new threats and protect our planet?
我们是否要以一种恐惧和被动的姿态来应对这个世界，被卷入昂贵的冲突，消耗我们的军力，并削弱我们的地位?还是要以一种明智的姿态来引导，尽我们的所能，击败这些新的威胁
并保护我们的星球?
Will we allow ourselves to be sorted into factions and turned against one another? Or will we recapture the sense of common purpose that has always
propelled America forward?
我们是否要允许自己卷入派别纷争，互相打击?还是我们要重新找到让美国前行的共同目标?
In two weeks, I will send this Congress a budget filled with ideas that are practical, not partisan. And in the months ahead, I'll crisscross the country making a case for those ideas. So tonight, I want to focus less on a checklist of proposals, and focus more on the values at stake in the choices before us。
再过两个星期，我就要向国会递交预算。这个预算里都是现实的想法，并无党派之见。接下来的几个月，我会遍访全国为这些想法争取支持。今天晚上，我不想花太多时间列出这些议题，而是着重谈谈摆在我们面前的选择当中涉及的价值观。
It begins with our economy. Seven years ago, Rebekah and Ben Erler of Minneapolis were newlyweds. She waited tables. He worked construction. Their first child, Jack, was on the way. They were young and in love in America. And it
doesn't get much better than that. "If only we had known," Rebekah wrote to me
last spring, "what was about to happen to the housing and construction market."
首先让我们谈谈经济。七年前，明尼阿波利斯的瑞贝卡和本?艾勒是一对新婚夫妇。瑞贝卡是饭店服务员，艾勒在建筑工地上班，他们当时即将迎来第一个孩子杰克。他们很年轻，在美国相爱，没有什么比这更好的了。瑞贝卡去年春天写信给我称：“如果我们当时知道住房和建筑市场将发生什么就好了。”
As the crisis worsened, Ben's business dried up, so he took what jobs he could find, even if they kept him on the road for long stretches of time. Rebekah took out student loans and enrolled in community college, and retrained for a new career. They sacrificed for each other. And slowly, it paid off. They bought their first home. They had a second son, Henry. Rebekah got a better job and then a raise. Ben is back in construction -- and home for dinner every night。
随着危机恶化，本的生意越来越少，他只能做他能找到的工作，即便这些工作让他花漫长的时间在路上。瑞贝卡办理了学生贷款，在社区大学上学，为一份新的职业生涯培训。他们为彼此牺牲。慢慢地，他们的努力得到了回报，他们买了首套房子，他们有了第二个儿子亨利。瑞贝卡找到了一份更好的工作，还加了薪。本也重返建筑业，每天晚上能回家吃晚餐。
"It is amazing," Rebekah wrote, "what you can bounce back from when you have to…we are a strong, tight-knit family who has made it through some very, very hard times."
瑞贝卡写道：“这是令人惊奇的，你在被迫的情况下东山再起，我们是一个强有力的、关系密切的家庭，我们一起熬过了一段非常非常艰难的时刻。”
America, Rebekah and Ben's story is our story. They represent the millions who have worked hard and scrimped, and sacrificed and retooled. You are the reason
that I ran for this office. You are the people I was thinking of six years ago today, in the darkest months of the crisis, when I stood on the steps of this Capitol and promised we would rebuild our economy on a new foundation. And it has
been your resilience, your effort that has made it possible for our country to emerge stronger。
美国同胞们，瑞贝卡和本的故事就是我们的故事，他们代表着那些努力工作，精打细算，作出牺牲，重新培训的数百万人。你们是我竞选总统职位的原因。在那个危机最黑暗的岁月里，你们是我六年前的那一天所想到的人，那天当我站在国会山的台阶上，承诺我们将在一个新的基石上重建我们的经济。你们的努力和坚韧，使美国在危机过后变得更加强大成为可能。
We believed we could reverse the tide of outsourcing and draw new jobs to our shores. And over the past five years, our businesses have created more than 11 million new jobs。
我们相信，我们能够扭转劳务外包的势头，将新就业机会带回国内。在过去五年期间，我国企业创造了1100多万个新就业机会。
We believed we could reduce our dependence on foreign oil and protect our planet. And today, America is number one in oil and gas. America is number one in wind power. Every three weeks, we bring online as much solar power as we did in
all of 2008. And thanks to lower gas prices and higher fuel standards, the typical family this year should save about $750 at the pump。
我们相信，我们能够降低对外国石油的依赖，并保护我们的地球。如今，美国的石油和天然气产量位居世界第一。美国的风力发电量位居世界首位。我国每三个星期产出的太阳能，就相当于2008年的总量。由于石油价格下跌和燃料标准提高，一个典型的美国家庭今年会节省750美元油费。
We believed we could prepare our kids for a more competitive world. And today, our younger students have earned the highest math and reading scores on record.
Our high school graduation rate has hit an all-time high. More Americans finish college than ever before。
我们相信，我们能够使我们的孩子们为面对一个更具有竞争性的世界做好准备。现在，我国年轻学生们的数学和阅读分数都达到了前所未有的水平。我国的高中生毕业率也达到历史新高。完成大学学业的人数超过了以往任何一个时期。
We believed that sensible regulations could prevent another crisis, shield families from ruin, and encourage fair competition. Today, we have new tools to stop taxpayer-funded bailouts, and a new consumer watchdog to protect us from predatory lending and abusive credit card practices. And in the past year alone,
about 10 million uninsured Americans finally gained the security of health coverage。
我们相信，明智的规章能够避免另一场危机，使家庭免于被毁，并鼓励公平竞争。如今，我们拥有新手段，不再使用纳税人的钱来救助企业;我们拥有新的消费者监管机构，保护我们免受掠夺性借贷和信用卡违规行为之害。仅在去年一年，就有大约一千万没有医保的美国人终于得到医疗保险。
At every step, we were told our goals were misguided or too ambitious; that we would crush jobs and explode deficits. Instead, we've seen the fastest economic growth in over a decade, our deficits cut by two-thirds, a stock market that has doubled, and health care inflation at its lowest rate in 50 years. This is good news, people。
在我们采取每个步骤时，我们曾被警告：我们的目标被误导，或者过于雄心壮志，我们将破坏就业或使赤字大幅增长。但与这些观点相反的是，我们看到了过去十年最快的经济增长，我们的赤字减少了三分之二，股市市值翻了一倍，医疗通货膨胀率是过去50年来最低的。这是个好消息，同胞们。
So the verdict is clear. Middle-class economics works. Expanding opportunity works. And these policies will continue to work as long as politics don't get in the way. We can't slow down businesses or put our economy at risk with government shutdowns or fiscal showdowns. We can't put the security of families at risk by taking away their health insurance, or unraveling the new rules on Wall Street, or refighting past battles on immigration when we've got to fix a broken system. And if a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things, I will veto it.
It will have earned my veto。
因此，结论是明确的。中产阶级经济行之有效。扩大机会行之有效。只要政治权术不予掣肘，这些政策就将继续行之有效。我们不能允许政府机构关闭或财政关门迫使企业活动放缓，或使我国经济面临危险。我们不能让家庭安全面临危险，所以我们不能剥夺家庭的医保，不能取消针对华尔街的新规则，不能在我们需要休整一个破败不堪的机制时，再为移民[微博]问题争执不休。如果哪个议案想做以上任何一件事，一旦送交到我办工桌上，我将予以否决。它必将获得我的否决票。
Today, thanks to a growing economy, the recovery is touching more and more lives. Wages are finally starting to rise again. We know that more small business owners plan to raise their employees' pay than at any time since 2007. But here's
the thing: Those of us here tonight, we need to set our sights higher than just making sure government doesn't screw things up; that government doesn't halt the progress we're making. We need to do more than just do no harm. Tonight, together, let's do more to restore the link between hard work and growing opportunity for every American。
现在，由于经济不断增长，越来越多的人受到经济振兴的影响。工资水平终于开始再次上升。我们知道，自2007年以来，从未有任何一个时期比现在有更多的小企业主计划提高雇员
的工资。但需要注意一点，今晚在座诸位需要把眼光放得更远，不能仅仅是确保政府不去阻碍我们正在取得的进步。我们需要做得更多，而不仅是不造成损害。今晚，让我们共同采取更多措施，重建努力工作与每个美国人获得更多机会之间的纽带。
Because families like Rebekah's still need our help. She and Ben are working
as hard as ever, but they've had to forego vacations and a new car so that they
can pay off student loans and save for retirement. Friday night pizza, that's a
big splurge. Basic childcare for Jack and Henry costs more than their mortgage,
and almost as much as a year at the University of Minnesota. Like millions of hardworking Americans, Rebekah isn't asking for a handout, but she is asking that we look for more ways to help families get ahead。
因为，像瑞贝卡这样的家庭仍需要我们的帮助。她和本比任何时候都要努力工作，但不得不放弃休假和购买新车，以支付贷款和为退休存钱。杰克和亨利的基本儿童护理费用超出了房贷费用，几乎相当于明尼苏达州立大学一年的学费。与数百万努力工作的美国人一样，瑞贝卡并不是在讨要施舍，但她在要求我们找到更多帮助改善家庭生活的方法。
And in fact, at every moment of economic change throughout our history, this country has taken bold action to adapt to new circumstances and to make sure everyone gets a fair shot. We set up worker protections, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid to protect ourselves from the harshest adversity. We gave our citizens schools and colleges, infrastructure and the Internet -- tools they needed to go
as far as their effort and their dreams will take them。
实际上，在我国历史上的每个经济变化时刻，美国都采取果敢行动以适应新环境，确保每个人都得到公平的机会。我们采取了工人保护、社保、医保以及医疗救助等措施，保护我们免于陷入最困难的处境。我们为我国公民提供了基础教育和高等教育、基础设施和互联网，他们需要这些手段使自己的努力获得最大成果。
That's what middle-class economics is -- the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everyone does their fair share, everyone plays by the same set of rules. We don't just want everyone to share in America's success, we want everyone to contribute to our success。
这就是中产阶级经济，只要每个人获得公平的机会，每个人做出公平的贡献，每个人遵循同样的规则，美国就能发展得最好。我们不仅希望每个人共享美国的成功，也希望每个人都为美国的成功做出贡献。
So what does middle-class economics require in our time?
那么，如今中产阶级经济需要的是什么呢?
First, middle-class economics means helping working families feel more secure
in a world of constant change. That means helping folks afford childcare, college, health care, a home, retirement. And my budget will address each of these issues, lowering the taxes of working families and putting thousands of dollars back into their pockets each year。
首先，中产阶级经济意味着帮助劳工家庭在一个不断变化的世界中感到更安全。这意味着帮助他们支付育儿费、大学学费、医保、住宅和退休费用——我的预算案将分别应对这些问题，削减劳工家庭的税收以及每年把数千美元放回他们的口袋。
Here's one example. During World War II, when men like my grandfather went off to war, having women like my grandmother in the workforce was a national security priority -- so this country provided universal childcare. In today's economy, when having both parents in the workforce is an economic necessity for many families,
we need affordable, high-quality childcare more than ever。
举一个例子。在二战时期，像我祖父一样的男子们奔赴战场，在这种情况下，让像我祖母一样的女子们去工作，就成为维护国家安全的优先选择，因此，美国实行了普遍托儿制度。在今天的经济状况下，对很多家庭而言，父母都有工作在经济上是必需的，我们比以往任何时候都更需要能够负担得起的高质量托儿服务。
It's not a nice-to-have -- it's a must-have. So it's time we stop treating childcare as a side issue, or as a women's issue, and treat it like the national economic priority that it is for all of us. And that's why my plan will make
quality childcare more available and more affordable for every middle-class and
low-income family with young children in America -- by creating more slots and a new tax cut of up to $3,000 per child, per year。
这不是为了好看而做，而是必须要做。现在，我们应当停止把托儿服务看做一个枝节问题或妇女问题，应当把这个问题看做人人有责的国家经济当务之急。这就是为什么我计划创造更多机会，并且每年再为每个孩子提供最多3千美元免税额度，为每个有小孩的美国中产阶级家庭和低收入家庭提供更容易得到、更容易负担的高质量托儿服务。
Here's another example. Today, we are the only advanced country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick leave or paid maternity leave to our workers. Forty-three million workers have no paid sick leave -- 43 million. Think about that. And that forces too many parents to make the gut-wrenching choice between a paycheck and a sick kid at home. So I'll be taking new action to help states adopt paid leave laws of their own. And since paid sick leave won where it was on the ballot last November, let's put it to a vote right here in Washington. Send me a bill
that gives every worker in America the opportunity to earn seven days of paid sick leave. It's the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do。
我再举一个例子，今天，美国是唯一一个不向我们员工保证带薪病假或产假的发达国家。4300万员工不能享受带薪病假。4300万人!想想吧，这迫使太多父母在工资和生病的孩子之间
作出艰难选择。所以我将采取新措施，以帮助各州通过各自的带薪病假法案。带薪病假去年
11月在数州的投票中获得通过，让我们在华盛顿就此进行投票。向我提交一份让美国的所有
员工获得7天带薪病假的提案吧，这是一件正确的事情。
Of course, nothing helps families make ends meet like higher wages. That's why this Congress still needs to pass a law that makes sure a woman is paid the same
as a man for doing the same work. It's 2015. (Laughter。) It's time. We still need to make sure employees get the overtime they've earned. And to everyone in this Congress who still refuses to raise the minimum wage, I say this: If you truly believe you could work full-time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year, try it. If not, vote to give millions of the hardest-working people in America a raise。
当然，最能帮助家庭维持生计的就是提高工资。这就是为什么本届国会仍需通过一项法律，以确保男女同工同酬。的确，现在是2015年了。是时候了。我们仍需确保雇员能得到加班费。对本届国会中那些仍然拒绝提高最低工资的人，我要说：如果你真的相信你能全职工作，同时在年收入低于一万五千美元的情况下支撑一个家庭，那么就请试一试。如果你做不到，就请投票赞成提高工作最辛苦的大量美国人的工资。
Now, these ideas won't make everybody rich, won't relieve every hardship.
That's not the job of government. To give working families a fair shot, we still need more employers to see beyond next quarter's earnings and recognize that investing in their workforce is in their company's long-term interest. We still need laws that strengthen rather than weaken union s, and give American workers a voice。
当然，这些想法不会使所有人富有，或者缓解所有困难，这不是政府的工作。为了给工薪家庭一个公平的机会，我们需要更多的雇主不要只看到下个季度的收入报表，他们应当意识到投资于自己的员工符合美国的长远利益。我们仍需要强化而非弱化工会的法律，给美国工人发言权。
But you know, things like childcare and sick leave and equal pay; things like lower mortgage premiums and a higher minimum wage -- these ideas will make a meaningful difference in the lives of millions of families. That's a fact. And
that's what all of us, Republicans and Democrats alike, were sent here to do。
托儿、带薪病假、同工同酬、降低房贷、更高的最低工资，这些想法将使数百万家庭发生有意义的变化。这是一个事实。这是人们将我们所有人，共和党人和民主党人送到华盛顿来的目的。
Second, to make sure folks keep earning higher wages down the road, we have to do more to help Americans upgrade their skills. America thrived in the 20th century because we made high school free, sent a generation of GIs to college, trained the best workforce in the world. We were ahead of the curve. But other countries caught on. And in a 21st century economy that rewards knowledge like never before, we need to up our game. We need to do more。
第二，为了确保美国人能够在未来不断提高工资，我们需要进一步帮助美国人提高技能。20世纪是美国腾飞的世纪，因为我们取消了高中学费，将一代士兵送入大学，并培养了世界
上最优秀的劳动力。但在21世纪，在这个比以往更加重视知识的世纪，我们需要更加努力。
By the end of this decade, two in three job openings will require some higher education -- two in three. And yet, we still live in a country where too many bright, striving Americans are priced out of the education they need. It's not
fair to them, and it's sure not smart for our future. That's why I'm sending this Congress a bold new plan to lower the cost of community college -- to zero。
到这个年代末，三分之二的工作都要求一些高等教育。三分之二。而现在，在我们的国家，仍然有太多聪明的、努力奋斗的美国人无钱支付他们所需的教育。这对他们太不公平，对我们的未来也不利。正因为如此，我向国会提交了一份大胆的议案，将社区学校的学费全部减免。
Keep in mind 40 percent of our college students choose community college. Some are young and starting out. Some are older and looking for a better job. Some are veterans and single parents trying to transition back into the job market. Whoever you are, this plan is your chance to graduate ready for the new economy without a load of debt. Understand, you've got to earn it. You've got to keep your grades up and graduate on time。
我们40%的大学生选择社区大学，一些学生是年轻人，刚刚起步，一些人年纪大一些，想
寻找一份更好的工作。一些人是退伍士兵，一些人是试图重新过渡至就业市场的单亲父母。不管你是谁，我们的计划是让你可以在没有大量负债的情况下毕业，为新经济作好准备。请明白，你要努力争取这种待遇，你必须保持好的成绩，准时毕业。

President Obama's State of the Union address as prepared for delivery on Jan. 20, 2015: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans: We are fifteen years into this new century.

奥巴马就职演讲稿原文 [ 2008-11-05 14:37 ] If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

奥巴马竞选总统演讲稿 【第1篇】奥巴马竞选总统演讲稿 Hello, Chicago! 芝加哥，你好! If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. 如果有人怀疑美国是个一切皆有可能的地方，怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们这个时代依然燃烧，怀疑我们民主的力量，那么今晚这些疑问都有了答案。 It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. 学校和教堂门外的长龙便是答案。排队的人数之多，在美国历史上前所未有。为了投票，他们排队长达三、四个小时。许多人一生中第一次投票，因为他们认为这一次大选结果必须不同以往，而他们手中的一票可能决定胜负。
2010奥巴马国情咨文全文（中英文版） 2月24日晚，奥巴马总统在美国国会参众两院发表国情咨文。以下是国情咨文的全文，由美国国务院国际信息局(IIP)根据白宫新闻秘书办公室提供的记录稿翻译。 总统：议长女士，副总统先生，各位国会议员，美国第一夫人——(掌声)——她就在附近。 今晚，我来到这里，不仅向这个宏伟大厅中在座的各位杰出人士发表讲话，而且向推选我们来到这里的男女民众进行坦率和直接的交谈。 我知道，对于现在正在收看转播的很多美国人来说，我国的经济现状令人担忧，压倒了所有其他的问题。这一点千真万确。如果你本人尚未受到这场衰退的影响，但在你认识的人中间，或许有人───朋友、邻居，或是家庭成员已受到波及。你无须再了解一系列数字，就知道我们的经济陷入了危机，因为你每天都身临其境，使你日有所虑，夜不能寐。你原以为能保持这份工作直到退休，现在却不幸失去了工作;你原希望通过创业编织梦想，现在自己的事业却危在旦夕;你的子女收到了大学录取通知，但不得已只能束之高阁。这场衰退的影响已确凿无疑，无处不在。 尽管我国经济可能已被削弱，我们的信心可能已发生动摇;尽管我们正经历困难重重、前途不明的时期，但今晚，我希望每一个美国人知道：我们决心重建，我们必将复苏，美利坚合众国一定会获得新生，比以往更强盛。(掌声) 这场危机的重压不可能左右这个国家的命运。解决我们的种种问题的答案并非遥不可及。问题的答案就在我们的实验室和大学中;就在我们的田野上和工厂里;就蕴藏在我国创业者的想象力和地球上最勤劳的人民的豪情壮志之中。这些品质使美国成为人类历史上进步与繁荣的最伟大的力量，我们依然充分拥有这些品质。现在必须做的是，全国上下齐心协力，勇敢地迎接我们面临的各种挑战，再度为我们的未来承担责任。(掌声) 开诚布公地说，我们现在必须承认，长期以来，无论是作为一个国家的政府，或是作为一个国家的人民，我们未能做到时时刻刻履行这些职责。我这么说并不是为了怪罪于谁，也不是为了追究过去，而是因为只有了解我们怎么会走到这个地步，我们才能摆脱这一困境。 事实是，我国经济陷入衰退并非一朝一夕之力。我们面临的所有问题也并非一概始于房市崩溃或股市滑坡。几十年来，我们一直都清楚我们的生存有赖于找到新的能源。然而，今天，我们进口的石油却超过以往任何时候。年复一年，高昂的医疗费用日益侵蚀我们的储蓄，然而医疗改革却一再延误。我们的下一代需要在全球经济中参与竞争，但我们很多的学校却未能培养他们的这种能力。尽管这些难题一直都未得到解决，但我们无论作为个人还是通过我们的政府，依然比以往任何时候都支出更多，负债更重。 换句话说，我们已经走过的那个时期往往更看重短期收益，而不是长期繁荣;我们的眼光仅局限于下一笔付款、下一个季度或下一届选举。财政盈余非但没有成为投资于未来的一个时机，反而变成了把财富转移给富人的借口。(掌声)规章条例形同虚设，只为迅速牟利，不惜以市场的健康为代价。有些人明知自己不具备经济能力，却可借助竭力推销不良贷款的银行和贷款机构买房。而与此同时，重大的辩论和艰难的决策却被一拖再拖。
奥巴马竞选总统演讲 篇一：美国第一夫人米歇尔为奥巴马竞选总统的演讲 Transcript: Michelle Obama\\'s Convention Speech September 4,2012 Thank you so much, Elaine...we are so grateful for your family\\'s service and sacrifice...and we will always have your back. Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country. And everywhere I\\'ve gone, in the people I\\'ve met, and the stories I\\'ve heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit. I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls. I\\'ve seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay. I\\'ve seen it in people who become heroes at a moment\\'s notice, diving into harm\\'s way to save others...flying across the country to put out a fire...driving for hours to bail out a flooded town. And I\\'ve seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families...in wounded warriors who tell me they\\'re not just going to walk again, they\\'re going to run, and they\\'re going to run marathons...in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, "...I\\'d give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do." Every day, the people I meet inspire me...every day, they make me proud...every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth. Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege...but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we\\'d begun. While I believed deeply in my husband\\'s vision for this country...and I was certain he would make an extraordinary President...like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance. How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight? PBS NewsHour/YouTube First lady Michelle Obama addresses the DNC after being introduced by military mom Elaine Brye, from PBS NewsHour.
英文版 MR. OBAMA: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of H appiness.” Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of,

In State of the Union Speech, a Focus on the Middle Class By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS January 21, 2015 奥巴马国情咨文演讲强调重振中产阶级 MICHAEL D. SHEAR, JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS 2015年01月21日 WASHINGTON —President Obama claimed credit on Tuesday for an improving economy and defiantly told his Republican adversaries in Congress to “turn the page” by supporting an expensive domestic agenda aimed at improving the fortunes of the middle class. 华盛顿——本周二，美国总统奥巴马称政府的举措改善了经济，并用强硬的语气敦促国会的共和党对手“翻开新的一页”，支持一些旨在增加中产阶级财富的需要高额开支的国内举措。 Released from the political constraints of a sagging economy, overseas wars and elections, Mr. Obama declared in his sixth State of the Union address that “the shadow of crisis has passed,” and vowed to use his final two years in office fighting for programs that have taken a back seat. He called on Congress to make community college free for most students, enhance tax credits for education and child care and impose new taxes and fees on high-income earners and large financial institutions. 奥巴马摆脱了疲软的经济、海外战争和选举这些政治制约，在其第六次国情咨文演讲中表示，“危机的阴影已经过去”，在其任期的最后两年，他将致力于推动那些此前遭到忽略的项目。他呼吁国会免除大多数学生在社区学院就读的学费，强化教育和儿童保健方面的税收优惠措施，并对高收入者和大型金融机构征收新的税费。 “We have risen from recession freer to w rite our own future than any other nation on Earth,” Mr. Obama said in an address seen by an estimated 30 million people. “Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well? Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates risi ng incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?” “我们已经从衰退中复苏，目前比世界上其他任何国家都能更加自由地书写自身的未来，”奥巴马在约3000万人观看的讲话中说。“我们要发展一个仅供少数人兴旺发达的经济呢，还是一个可以全面提升收入，每个人只要努力就会有机会的经济？” The president used the prime-time speech to call on Congress to pass new legislation authorizing the fight against the Islamic State. The president said approval of a resolution granting him that power — something he has argued he does not need to carry out the five-month-old campaign —would send an important signal. “Tonight, I call on this Congress to show the world that we are united in this mission,'’ Mr. Obama said. 总统在黄金时段发表的这次演讲，呼吁美国国会通过一项授权打击伊斯兰国(Islamic State)的新立法。他表示，批准一项授予他权力的决议——他曾说，开展这次已经持续了五个月的活动并不需要授权——将发出一个重要的信号。“今晚，我呼吁本届国会，向世界展示，我们在这项任务上团结一致，”奥巴马说。 “This effort will ta ke time,” he said of the five-month battle to defeat the Islamic State, the

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. Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference. 我要感谢每一位参与选举的国人，无论你是第一时间就投上了票，还是排长队才投上了票。顺便说一声，这个问题我们要解决。无论你是去走去投票站投票，还是电话投票；无论你是给奥巴马投票，还是为罗姆尼投票，你们的声音我们听到了，有着非凡意义。
美国总统巴拉克-奥巴马(Barack Obama)2010年国情咨文： The White House has released the full text of President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address, as prepared for delivery: Madame Speaker, Vice President Biden, Members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans: Our Constitution declares that from time to time, the President shall give to Congress information about the state of our union. For two hundred and twenty years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty. They have done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility. And they have done so in the midst of war and depression; at moments of great strife and great struggle. It's tempting to look back on these moments and assume that our progress was inevitable - that America was always destined to succeed. But when the Union was turned back at Bull Run and the Allies first landed at Omaha Beach, victory was very much in doubt. When the market crashed on Black Tuesday and civil rights marchers were beaten on Bloody Sunday, the future was anything but certain. These were times that tested the courage of our convictions, and the strength of our union. And despite all our divisions and disagreements; our hesitations and our fears; America prevailed because we chose to move forward as one nation, and one people. Again, we are tested. And again, we must answer history's call. One year ago, I took office amid two wars, an economy rocked by severe recession, a financial system on the verge of collapse, and a government deeply in debt. Experts from across the political spectrum warned that if we did not act, we might face a second depression. So we acted - immediately and aggressively. And one year later, the worst of the storm has passed. But the devastation remains. One in ten Americans still cannot find work. Many businesses have shuttered. Home values have declined. Small towns and rural communities have been hit especially hard. For those who had already known poverty, life has become that much harder. This recession has also compounded the burdens that America's families have been dealing with for decades - the burden of working harder and longer for less; of being unable to save enough to retire or help kids with college. So I know the anxieties that are out there right now. They're not new. These struggles are the reason I ran for President. These struggles are what I've witnessed for years in places like Elkhart, Indiana and Galesburg, Illinois. I hear about them in the letters that I read each night. The toughest to read are those written by children - asking why they have to move from their home, or when their mom or dad will be able to go back to work.
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.
