奥巴马开学日演讲 奥巴马开学演讲(中英文) 美国总统奥巴马9月8日开学演讲 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA#39;S SCHOOLCHILDREN Wakefield High School Arlington, Virginia Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. 嗨，大家好！谢谢！谢谢大家！ All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody going today? How about Tim Spicer? 好的，大家请就座。你们今天过得怎么样？蒂姆.斯派塞好吗？ I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we#39;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. 我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡维克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们，通过电视关注这里。我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。我还有感谢维克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排，请为你们热烈鼓掌。 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#39;s your first day in a new school, so it#39;s understandable if you#39;re a little nervous. 我知道，对你们中的许多人来说，今天是开学的第一天。对于刚进入幼儿园或升上初中高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天。因此，假如你们搞到有些紧张，那也是正常的。I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now --with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you#39;re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could#39;ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning. 我想也会有许多毕业班的学生们正自信满满，还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，许多人打心底里希望现在还是暑假。今天早上还能多睡一小会。 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#39;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. 我可以理解这份心情。小时候，我们家生活中海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我母亲没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校。但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。 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. 因此
