奥巴马2010年国情咨文中英文版

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.

Story continues below

For these Americans and so many others, change has not come fast enough. Some are frustrated; some are angry. They don't understand why it seems like bad behavior on Wall Street is rewarded but hard work on Main Street isn't; or why Washington has been unable or unwilling to solve any of our problems. They are tired of the partisanship and the shouting and the pettiness. They know we can't afford it. Not now.

So we face big and difficult challenges. And what the American people hope - what they deserve - is for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of our politics. For while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds, different stories and different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same. The aspirations they hold are shared. A job that pays the bills. A chance to get ahead. Most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.

Y ou know what else they share? They share a stubborn resilience in the face of adversity. After one of the most difficult years in our history, they remain busy building cars and teaching kids; starting businesses and going back to school. They're coaching little league and helping their neighbors. As one woman wrote me, "We are strained but hopeful, struggling but encouraged."

It is because of this spirit - this great decency and great strength - that I have never been more hopeful about America's future than I am tonight. Despite our hardships, our union is strong. We do not give up. We do not quit. We do not allow fear or division to break our spirit. In this new decade, it's time the American people get a government that matches their decency; that embodies their strength.

美国总统巴拉克-奥巴马(Barack Obama)美国东部时间1月27日晚上9时(北京时间28日上午10时)，开始在参众两院联席会议上发表2010年国情咨文演讲。以下为演讲全文翻译：

女议长、副总统拜登先生，各位国会议员、尊敬的来宾以及全体美国同胞：

我们的宪法规定，美国总统必须定期向国会报告国家情况。在过去220年的时间里，无论是繁荣和平，还是战争危机，即使存在激烈的冲突和战斗，历届美国总统也都能完成这一使命。

回顾历史上的这些时刻，并相信我们的进步是不可阻挡的——美国永远注定会取得成功，这些固然让人感到自豪。然而，当美国股市持续了10年的牛市崩溃、盟军于奥马哈海滩登陆时，我们长久以来的胜利曾遭受强烈的质疑。当市场在“黑色星期二”崩盘，游行民众在那个流血星期日被镇压的时候，美国的未来曾充满了不确定性。这些时刻都曾考验我们的信念和我们国家的力量。纵使我们拥有种

种分歧，犹豫和恐惧也时刻伴随，美国最终取得了胜利，因为我们选择团结在一起，作为一个国家、一个民族向前进。

今天，我们再一次面临着考验，也再一次必须回应历史的召唤。

一年前，美国正处于两场战争之中，经济遭遇大萧条，金融体系处在崩溃的边缘，政府深陷债务之中，在这样的一个时刻，我当选了美国总统。不同政治派别的专家对我们提出警告，如果我们不采取行动，我们可能会面临第二次经济大萧条。所以我们果断而迅速地采取了行动，一年后的今天，最糟糕的暴风雨时期已经过去了。

然而，灾难性的效应依旧存在。现在仍然有十分之一的美国人找不到工作。许多企业歇业，房屋价格下跌，小城镇和乡村受到的冲击尤其严重。对那些本已很贫穷的人来说，生活变得更加艰难。

这次经济大萧条使美国家庭几十年来承载的重压进一步加剧。这种压力就是：即使他们工作更努力、时间更长，也得不到更多的收入，无法存够钱退休或者帮孩子读完大学。

我能够理解人们现在的焦虑，这些问题并不是新的，而我就是为了解决这些问题才竞选美国总统。这几年，我在印第安纳州的埃尔克哈特和伊利诺伊州的盖尔斯堡亲眼目睹了人们的困境，也从每晚阅读他们的信件中了解情况。最让人难过的是阅读那些孩子的来信，他们在信中问，为什么他们不得不从家里搬出来，或者他们的爸爸妈妈什么时候才能重新找到工作。

对这些美国公民以及其它像他们一样的人来说，变革的速度似乎还不够快。对此，有些人感到灰心，还有人感到愤怒。他们不能理解，为什么华尔街那些不好的行为好像能受到嘉奖，而普通民众的努力工作却得不到回报；为什么政府似乎不能够或不愿意解决人们的问题；他们已经厌烦了党派分歧、叫喊和卑劣的争斗。他们认为我们解决不了这些问题，至少现在还不能。

因为这样，我们面前的挑战巨大而又艰难。美国人希望看到的、也是他们应该看到的，是我们所有人，无论民主党还是共和党，能够解决我们之间的分歧，克服我们两党之间已近乎麻木的偏袒，那些为我们投票人拥有不同的背景和信仰，但他们所担忧的和我们一样。他们都拥有共同的愿望，就是获得一份工作，能够来付账；一个能够在生活中不断进步的机会，最重要的是，能够有能力为他们的孩子提供更好的生活。

知道他们还共同拥有什么吗？那就是面对逆境的顽强韧性。在经历了美国历史上最困难的时期后，他们仍然忙于建造汽车、教育孩子、经营生意以及回到学校读书，他们为小社团提供辅导并帮助邻居，正如一位女士给我的信中写道：“我们感觉担忧但同时也充满希望，我们正在努力奋斗但充满干劲。”

正是由于这种精神，这种伟大的尊严和力量，使我从来没有像今晚这样对美国的

未来充满希望。尽管我们目前处境艰难，但我们的国家十分强大。我们永远不会放弃，不会停止努力，不会允许恐惧或者分歧破坏我们这种宝贵的精神。在这个全新的10年里，美国人将拥有与他们的尊严相称、能够代表他们力量的政府。

今晚，我们将讨论如何共同履行这一承诺。

首先，从我们的经济开始。

我上任的当务之急就是援助那些引起危机的银行。这并不是一项容易的任务。如果说民主党和共和党曾就某件事达成共识的话，那就是我们都不愿对银行实施救助。

但是，当我竞选总统时，我承诺不会按照惯常的做法，而是需要什么做什么。如果我们任由金融体系坍塌，失业率将可能达到今天的一倍。更多的企业会停业，更多的人会流离失所。

因此，我支持上届政府在金融救助项目上的努力。在我们实施这一项目时，会保证其透明度和可操作性。现在，市场已经稳定，向银行业发放的大部分救助资金也已经收回。

为了实现其它领域的复苏，我已经提议向大型银行征税。我知道这一想法一定不会受到华尔街的欢迎，但是如果这些企业能够重新发放高额，他们也一定能够承担相应的费用，回报在其需要救助时向他们伸出援手的纳税人。

随着金融体系的稳定，我们也逐渐重新恢复了经济增长，同时尽可能地保留住了更多的工作岗位，并帮助了那些失去工作的美国民众。

这也是为什么我们能够为1800多万美国失业人员延长或增加了失业津贴，使得统一综合预算汇编法案(COBRA)覆盖的美国家庭医疗保险费用下降65%，并通过了25项不同的税收减免政策。

让我重申，我们在减税，我们为工薪阶层家庭削减了95%的税，我们为小企业减税，为首套房购房者减税，为抚养孩子的父母减税，为800万付费上大学的美国人减税。这样做的结果，就是数百万美国人在汽油、食品等生活必需品多支出，这样才能让企业留住更多的工人。对于每一个个人，我们没有提高一分一厘的税收。一分一厘也没有。

同时，为了减轻中产家庭的负担，我们还必须进行医疗保险改革。

我选择这个问题并不是为了取得立法胜利，这一点必须清楚。同时需要厘清的是我这么做也不是为了政治因素。

一直以来，太多美国人都依赖保险才能活下去，因此，我要着手解决医疗保险的问题。有的病人没有医保，有的家庭即使有医保，一场疾病也能让全家破产。

经过近一个世纪的努力，美国人民现在比以往任何时候都更有保障。我们采取的措施将保护每一名美国人，不让其受到保险业不良经营的危害。市场竞争将使小型公司和未投保的美国人有机会选择能力范围内的医疗计划。每一个保险计划都必须涵盖预防性医疗。在此，我必须感谢第一夫人米歇尔-奥巴马(Michelle Obama)她今年发起了一项针对日益严重的儿童肥胖问题的全国性运动。

同时，这些措施也能够保护已投保者的利益，让他们能继续保持他们的医疗计划和就诊医生。数以百万的家庭和公司的医疗成本和保险费将下降。根据国会预算办公室，这是一个独立组织，各党都把它作为国会工作成效的统计员，这些举措将在接下来的二十年中，将预算赤字减少1万亿美元。

尽管如此，这仍然是一个复杂的问题。讨论越多，人民的怀疑就越多。我本应更多地向民众解释地更清楚，因为民众担心在所有的游说和妥协后，这些措施最后到底还能为美国人带来什么。

但我也知道这个问题还没有彻底解决。仍然会有人失去他们的保险，赤字增加，保险费提高，病人无法得到治疗，小型企业不投保，我与在座各位将与这些美国人站在一起。

我希望各位重新考虑我们的提议。许多医生、护士和医疗专家认为这些措施将极大改善现状，但是如果两党能提出更好的方案来降低保险费，减少赤字，覆盖未投保者和老年人保险，改善保险公司陋习，我也非常欢迎。我对国会的要求是：不要停止改革，我们的工作已接近完成，让我们尽力做到最后。

2013年奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文版本)

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,

奥巴马2015国情咨文

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. 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. 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; we are as free from the grip of foreign oil as we've been in almost 30 years. Tonight, for the first time since 9/11, our combat mission in Afghanistan is over. Six

奥巴马教育演讲原文

my education,my future--obma THE PRESIDENT: 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.) 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

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.

2010奥巴马国情咨文全文(中英文版)

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。

奥巴马获胜演讲全文 President-elect Barack Obama smiles as he gives his acceptance speech at Grant Park in Chicago Tuesday night, Nov. 4, 2008. 以下是奥巴马(Barack Obama)竞选总统成功后在芝加哥演讲准备的讲稿: 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. 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. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of

Still, Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the constructive approach you and the other leaders took at the end of last year to pass a budget and make tax cuts permanent for working families. So I hope we can work together this year on bipartisan priorities like criminal justice reform, and helping people who are battling prescription drug abuse. We just might surprise the cynics again.

Like many of you, we'll spend the day with family and friends, catching up, eating some good food and watching a little football. Before we lift a fork, we lend a hand by going out in the community to serve some of our neighbors in need. And we give thanks for each other, and for all of God's blessings. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because, more than any other, it is uniquely American. Each of us brings our own traditions and cultures and recipes to the table -- but we all share this day, united by the gratitude for the bounty of this nation. And we welcome the contributions of all people -- no matter their origin or color or beliefs -- who call America home, and who enrich the life of our nation. It is a creed as old as our founding: "E pluribus unum" -- that out of many, we are one. 我代表奥巴马全家--米切尔、玛利亚、萨莎、波和桑尼祝各位感恩节快乐。和你们中很多人一样，我们将和家人和朋友们共度这一天，赶回家团聚，享受盛宴和随便看看橄榄球赛。在我们拿起叉子前，我们是否走出家门，来到社区向需要帮助的邻居们伸出援手。我们互道感谢，感谢上帝赐给我们的一切。 感恩节是我最钟爱的节日，超过其它任何节日，它是美国独特的节日。我们每个人都把我们自己的传统、文化和拿手菜带到桌上--但是我们都共享这一天，对这个国家给我们的慷慨的感激把我们统一到一起。我们欢迎所有做出贡献的人们--不管他们来自哪里、什么肤色、什么信仰--称美国为家的人们，丰富我们的民族生计的人们。有一个信条和我们国家的缔造一样悠久：“合众为一”--即我们有很多人，但是我们万众一心。 We are reminded that this creed, and America itself, was never an inevitability, but the result of ordinary people in every generation doing their part to uphold our founding ideals -- by taking the blessings of freedom, and multiplying them for those who would follow. As President Kennedy once wrote, even as we give thanks for all that we've inherited from those who came before us -- "the decency of purpose, steadfastness of resolve and strength of will, for the courage and the humility, which they posessed," we must also remember that "the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them." Today, we are grateful to all Americans who do their part to live by those ideals, including our brave men and women in uniform overseas and their families, who sacrifice so much to keep America safe. To our service members who are away from home, we say an extra prayer for you and your loved ones, and we renew our commitment to take care of you as well as you've taken care of us. 我们不能忘记这个信条和美国本身从来就不是必然，而是每一代普普通通的美国
