• 奥巴马大选胜选演说《美国的变革》(视频+文本)

    参考文本: Barack Obama's Victory Speech: Change Has Come To America 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 [w]democracy[/w], 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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of [w=individual]individuals[/w] or 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've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about 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 date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America. A little bit earlier this evening, I received an [w]extraordinarily[/w] gracious call from Sen. McCain. Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured [w=sacrifice]sacrifices[/w] for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've 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 Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them. >>点击查看麦凯恩落败演讲文本 想

We're gonnaexpand the number of countries where visitors can get pre-cleared by Homeland Security so they don't need a tourist visa. And we're gonna speed up visa processing for countries with growing middle classes that can afford to visit America, countries like China and Brazil. We want more visitors coming here. We want them spending money here. It's good for our economy, and it will help provide the boost more businesses need to grow and to hire. And we can't wait to make it happen. Too often over the last few months, we've seen Congress drag its feet and refuse to take steps we know will help strengthen our economy. That's why this is the latest in a series of actions I've taken on my own to help our economy keep growing, creating jobs, and restoring security for middle-class families. In September, we decided to stop waiting for Congress to fix No Child Left Behind and give states the flexibility they need to help our kids meet higher standards. 经常旅行的人经过一个广泛的背景检查能够扫描他们的护照和指纹和跳过排长队在入境在更多机场。我们将扩大国家的数量,这样访问者可以pre-cleared由国家安全,所以他们不需要的是旅游签证。我们要加快发展国家签证处理中产阶级能承受访问美国,国家,如中国和巴西。 我们希望更多的游客到这奥巴马1月21日演讲里来。我们希望他们花钱在这里。这对我们的健康有好处的经济,它将有助于促进更多企业需要成长和雇用我。我们迫不及待地想让它发生。 常常在过去的几个月里,我们已经看到了拖着脚,国会拒绝采取措施我们知道将有助于加强我们的经济。这就是为什么这是最近一系列的行动我承担自己的来帮助我们的经济持续增长、扩大就业、和恢复为中产阶级家庭的安全。 年九月,我们决定停下来等待国会修不让一个孩子掉队,给美国的灵活性,他们需要帮助我们的孩子面临更高的标准。 ——译文来自: 纯白色的夏天 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 奥巴马演讲:加强美国的教育制度(2/3)

    就是为什么我们不是把资金投入一个运转不灵的系统,而是发起一个名为奋勇争先的竞争。对所有50个州,我们说,“如果你能把最具创新的提高教师素质和学生成绩的计划摆到桌面上,我们将把资金摆到桌面上。” 仅仅用了不到我们每年教育经费百分之一的投入,奋勇争先活动已经促使全国各个州提高了教学标准。这些标准不是华盛顿颁布的,而是各个州的共和、民主党州长颁布的。从那时起,当改革不仅是自上而下的指令,而是基层教师和校长,校董和社区的工作时,我们发现了什么是可行的。 这奥巴马9.24日演讲就是为什么在我今年的国情咨文里,我说道国会应该遵循指导奋勇争先活动的同样原则改革不让一个孩子掉队法案。 不让一个孩子掉队法案的目标是美好的,但现实告诉我们这个法案有一些严重缺陷损害孩子而不是帮助孩子。教师被迫为考试而教课,喜欢历史和科学的学生被冷落。为了避免他们的学校被冠以不称职,有些州降低了他们的标准,竞相垫底。 这些问题多年来一直被家长和教育工作者们关注,但多年来国会一直没能解决这个问题。所以现在,我将解决它。我们的孩子们在松懈的教育中只能学到单一的本领。他们不能在等待了。 ——译文来自: jerry9032 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 奥巴马演讲:加强美国的教育制度(3/3)

    我们昨天的作为而改变。从现在起,我们将奥巴马9.24日演讲能够鼓励像这样的学校进步。从现在起,像在华盛顿特区教数学的John Becker这样的人,将可以集中精力教授四年级数学,这种方式将提高学生的能力而不是应对考试。像俄亥俄州的David Estrop一样的教务长们将集中精力改进教学,而不是把时间花在应对来自华盛顿的徒劳无功的官僚主义监管上。 这不仅是为我们的孩子们做的正确的事,更是我们为我们的国家、我们的未来做的正确的事。现在是让我们的教师重返工作岗位的时候了。现在是重建和使我们的学校现代化的时候了。现在是提高我们的标准、升降我们的竞赛和为我们的孩子能准备好在全球经济竞争中制胜尽一起所能的时候了。现在是再一次让我们的教育系统成为世界羡慕的焦点的时候了。 多谢聆听。 ——译文来自: jerry9032 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>
