歐巴馬真的要走了!八年來,他其實說了很多金句...
就在11日上午,歐巴馬作了他總統生涯的最後一次演講。
在告別演講中,他總結了在過去取得的成就,同時也要「鼓勵民眾參與民主,為民主而努力。」
八年的總統生涯裡,歐巴馬做了無數的演講,自然,也說過無數金句。
下面精選了他演講中的一些金句,從個人層面到國家層面,看完受益匪淺,趕緊收好了!
個人
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
如果我們始終在等待別他人或者其他契機,那麼我們永遠得不到改變。我們就是我們所期待的人。我們就是我們所尋求的變化。
If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.
如果你所走的路是正確的,並且願意一直走下去,那麼最終你會獲得質的飛躍。
The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.
未來會回報那些奮勇向前的人。我沒有時間為自己感到遺憾,我也沒有時間去抱怨,因為我還要奮勇向前。
We want everybody to act like adults, quit playing games, realize that it's not just my way or the highway.
我們希望每個人都能像成年人那樣處事,放棄遊戲人生,意識到這不是自己的道路或者捷徑。
家庭
I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby.
我有兩個女兒,一個九歲一個六歲。我打算首先教育她們什麼是價值觀和道德。如果她們犯錯,我也不會讓作為孩子的她們受到懲罰。
What I believe is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but what I also believe is that we have an obligation to make sure that gays and lesbians have the rights of citizenship that afford them visitations to hospitals, that allow them to be, to transfer property between partners, to make certain that they're not discriminated on the job.
我相信婚姻應該是一個男人和一個女人之間的事情,但我也相信我們有這個義務去確保同性群體擁有公民的權利。他們可以正常去醫院,可以在伴侶之間轉移財產,可以被保證在工作上不被歧視。
My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.
我的父母不僅不可思議地彼此相愛,而且還對這個國家未來的發展有著堅定不移的信念。他們為我起了一個非洲的名字,巴拉克,有神佑之意,他們相信在美國這個包容的國度裡,我這個名字不會成為我成功的羈絆。
國家
I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.
我並不反對所有的戰爭。但我反對愚蠢的戰爭,反對輕率的戰爭。
There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.
美國沒有所謂自由和保守的區別,美國就是美利堅合眾國。
Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.
金錢不是唯一的解決辦法,但它確實能起到不錯的成效。
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive.
如果你是一位成功者,那麼一定有人在你成功的道路上提供了幫助…有人建立了我們現在所擁有的難以置信的美國體系,讓你在其中得到發展。
What I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all - the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.
我相信,能讓美國人民不論種族、地區、黨派、老少乃至貧富最終團結起來的,是他們長久以來簡單的信念,堅信自己有著這樣的機會——只要你努力工作、承擔責任,你就可以獲得成功。
丟下一堆金句後,老馬真的要說再見了,在這裡也祝福他開啟新的人生篇章!
