1、奥巴马父亲节演讲奥巴马父亲节演讲,2016 奥巴马父亲节演讲2016奥巴马父亲节演讲,2016 第一篇 hi, everybody. this sunday is fathers day, and so i wanted to take a moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have and thats being a dad. 大家好。本周日是父亲节，所以我想花点时间谈谈我们很多人一生最重要的一项工作 当爹。 today were blessed to live in a world where

2、technology allows us to connect instantly with just about anyone on the planet. but no matter how advanced we get, there will never be a substitute for the love and support and, most importantly, the presence of a parent in a childs life. and in many ways, thats uniquely true for fathers. 今天我们有福气生活在

3、技术使我们能随时与地球上任何人交流的世界上。但是不管我们 多么先进，在孩子的一生中，爱和支持，特别是父母的存在，是最重要的，无可替代的。而 且在很多方面，对父亲们更是唯一的正确。 i never really knew my own father. i was raised by a single mom and two wonderful grandparents who made incredible sacrifices for me. and there are single parents all across the country who do a heroic job rais

4、ing terrific kids. but i still wish i had a dad who was not only around, but involved; another role model to teach me what my mom did her best to instill values like hard work and integrity; responsibility and delayed gratification all the things that give a child the foundation to envision a bright

5、er future for themselves. 我从来没有见过我的父亲。我是在单亲妈妈和慈祥的外祖母和外祖父的巨大付出中长大 的。全国有很多单亲父、母承担抚养可怜的孩子们的伟大工作。但是我始终希望我有个父亲 不仅在身边，而且还融入我的生活；成为我妈妈呕心沥血地教我做的身体力行的榜样勤奋 诚实的价值观的榜样；责任感和知足感的榜样所有给孩子展望他们的更加光明的未来的基 础的东西。 that s why i try every day to be for michelle and my girls what my father was not for my mother and me. and

6、ive met plenty of other people dads and uncles and men without a family connection who are trying to break the cycle and give more of our young people a strong male role model. 这就是为什么我每天都在为米切尔和我的两个女儿做的而我的父亲无法为我的母亲和我 做的。我认识很多其他人没有完整家庭的父亲、叔伯和男人他们正在努力打破局限给更【奥巴马父亲节演讲,2016】 多年轻人一个强大的男性的榜样作用。 being a good

7、 parent whether youre gay or straight; a foster parent or a grandparent isnt easy. it demands your constant attention, frequent sacrifice, and a healthy dose of patience. and nobodys perfect. to this day, im still figuring out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my kids. 当好父母不管你是同性恋或

8、异性恋；养父母或祖父母决非易事。它要求你永远的操 心，经常的牺牲，不至于把孩子宠坏的耐心。没有人完美无缺。每当这一天，我都冥思苦想 如何做我妻子更好的丈夫和我的孩子们的更好的父亲。 because if theres one thing ive learned along the way, its that all our personal successes shine a little less brightly if we fail at family. thats what matters most. when i look back on my life, i wont be thi

9、nking about any particular legislation i passed or policy i promoted. ill be thinking about michelle, and the journey weve been on together. ill be thinking about sashas dance recitals and malias tennis matches about the conversations weve had and the quiet moments weve shared. ill be thinking about

10、 whether i did right by them, and whether they knew, every day, just how much they were loved. 因为如果说我在这条路上学到了一件事，那就是如果家庭不幸，我们所有人的成功都如 同白璧微瑕。这至关重要。当我回顾我的一生，我不会想到我通过的任何法案或我提倡的政 策。我想到的是米切尔和我们共同走过的旅程。我想到的是萨沙的个人舞蹈演出和玛利亚的 网球比赛想到我们的交流和我们共享的静谧时光。我想到的是我们为她们做的是否正确， 她们是否懂得，她们每天得到多少爱。 这就是我认为作为一个父亲的全部。如果我们能成为我们的

11、孩子们的满足和鼓励的最好 的源泉；如果我们能献给他们无条件的爱和帮助他们成长为他们希望的成年人；那么我们就 成功了。 happy fathers day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend. 祝父亲们节日快乐，周末愉快。篇二：奥巴马父亲节演讲 奥巴马父亲节演讲 our kids are pretty smart. they understand that life wont always be perfect, that sometimes, the road gets rough, that even great paren

12、ts dont get everything right. 我们的孩子都很聪明。他们知道生活并不总是那么完美，他们懂得有时候道路会比较坎 坷，即便是伟大的父母也不一定每件事都做的对 hi, everybody. this fathers day weekend, id like to spend a couple minutes talking about whats sometimes my hardest, but always my most rewarding job being a dad. 大家好！这个周末是父亲节，我想花点时间与大家交流下做父亲的感想。我觉得做好一 个父亲的角色有

13、时候最困难，但也最有意义。 i grew up without my father around. he left when i was two years old, and even【奥巴马父亲节演讲,2016】 though my sister and i were lucky enough to have a wonderful mom and caring grandparents to raise us, i felt his absence. and i wonder what my life would have been like had he been a greater p

14、resence. 从小父亲就不在我的身边。两岁时父亲离开了我们。但是我和妹妹很幸运，母亲和祖父 母对我们关怀备至，将我们抚养成人。尽管如此，我仍然觉得父爱缺失。我时常想，如果父 亲一直在我们的身边，我的人生可能就会不一样了。 thats why ive tried pretty hard to be a good dad for my own kids. i haven t always succeeded, of course in the past, my job has kept me away from home more than often i would like to, and

15、 the burden of raising two young girls sometimes would fall too heavily on michelle. 因此，当有了自己的孩子后，我便加倍努力，让自己成为 一个好爸爸。当然，并非事事顺利。过去，因为工作的关系，我不得不经常出差，这实在是 情非得已。所以，抚育两个女儿的重担有时就落到了米歇尔的肩上。 but between my own experiences growing up, and my ongoing efforts to be the best father i can be, ive learned a coupl

16、e of things about what our children need most from their parents. 自身成长的经历以及身为人父的经历，让我懂得了很多东西。我一直竭尽全力做到最好， 我也懂得孩子们最想从父母那里得到什么。 first and foremost, they need our time. and more important than the quantity of hours we spend with them is the quality of those hours. maybe its just asking about their day,

17、 or taking a walk together, but the smallest moments can have the biggest impact. 首先，孩子们需要我们花时间陪伴。但陪伴他们的时间质量比时间数量更重要。也许只 是日常生活中的简短问候，或是一起散步聊天，但这些最短暂的时光却可以对他们产生最大 的影响。 they also need structure, including learning the values of self-discipline and responsibility. malia and sasha may live in the white

18、house these days, but michelle and i still make sure they finish their schoolwork, do their chores, and walk the dog. 同时，他们也需要一种结构，包括需要了解自律和责任的价值。尽管玛莉亚和萨莎现在 生活在白宫，但我和米歇尔还是要确保他们完成家庭作业，做好日常杂务，按时遛狗。 and above all, children need our unconditional love whether they succeed or make mistakes; when life is

19、easy and when life is tough. 最为重要的是，孩子们需要我们 付出无条件的爱。无论他们是取得了成功，或是犯了错误，无论生活是舒适还是艰难。 and life is tough for a lot of americans today. more and more kids grow up without a father figure. others miss a father whos away serving his country in uniform. and even for those dads who are present in their child

20、rens lives, the recession has taken a harsh toll. if youre out of a job or struggling to pay the bills, doing whatever it takes to keep the kids healthy, happy and safe can understandably take precedence over everything else. 现 在，很多美国人的生活非常艰难。越来越多的孩子在成长过程中缺乏父亲的陪伴。有 些父亲身穿军装，为国效力，孩子们便不得不在家苦苦等候。即便是那些可以

21、陪 伴孩子们的 父亲，也因为经济衰退受到了严重的创伤。如果你失业了，或是入不敷出，也要尽全力让孩 子们过上健康、快乐，安全的生活，这显然是最重要的事情。 因此，对于那些希望尽职做个好父亲的男人，政府正在为他们提供一些额外的支持。我 们鼓励社会和宗教团体关注父亲的角色，并与企业合作为父亲们提供一些机会，让他们与孩 子们一起度过在保龄球馆或棒球场的时光，或与随军神父一起帮助父亲们建立与孩子们的联 系。 were doing this because we all have a stake in forging stronger bonds between fathers and their chi

22、ldren. and you can find out more about some of what were doing at fatherhood.gov. 我们这么做，是因为为父亲和孩子建立更为紧密的联系，对所有人都大有裨益。如果您 想了解更多我们正在参与的工作，请登录网站fatherhood.gov。 but we also know that every father has a personal responsibility to do right by our kids as well. all of us can encourage our children to turn

23、off the video games and pick up a book. all of us can pack a healthy lunch for our son, or go outside and play ball with our daughter. and all of us can teach our children the difference between right and wrong, and show them through our own example the value in treating one another as we wish to be

24、 treated. 但 我们也知道，每个父亲都有责任为孩子们树立榜样，教育他们做正确的事情。我们都 能够鼓励孩子们关掉游戏、捡起书本。我们都能为儿子准备健康的午餐，或与女 儿一起外出 打球。我们都能教育孩子们区分对错，并且以自己为榜样，让他们看到，我们希望别人怎样 对待自己，就应该怎样对待别人，这非常重要。 our kids are pretty smart. they understand that life wont always be perfect, that sometimes, the road gets rough, that even great parents dont ge

25、t everything right. 我们的孩子都很聪明。他们知道生活并不总是那么完美，他们懂得有时候道路会比较坎 坷，即便是伟大的父母也不一定每件事都做的对。 but more than anything, they just want us to be a part of their lives. 但更重 要的是，他们希望我们成为他们生活的一部分。 so recently, i took on a second job: assistant coach for sashas basketball team. on sundays, wed get the team together to

26、 practice, and a couple of times, id help coach the games. and it was great fun even if sasha rolled her eyes occasionally when her dad voiced his displeasure with the refs. 因此，最近我接受了第二份工作，成为萨莎她们篮球队的助理教练。每周日，我们都会 一起参加球队的训练。有几次我还帮助教练指导她们的比赛。我这个老爸有时会对裁判表达 不满，萨沙因而常常朝我翻白眼，即便如此，我依然觉得乐趣无穷。 看着她在球场上来回奔跑，不断学

27、习、取得进步并收获自信，我感到非常骄傲。我希望， 未来有一天当她回顾这些经历时，能够认识到这些经历曾经帮助她长大成人，帮助她成为一 位母亲。 in the end, thats what being a parent is all about those precious moments with our children that fill us with pride and excitement for their future; the chances we have to set an example or offer a piece of advice; the opportunit

28、ies to just be there and show them that we love them. 最后我想说，这些都是为人父母的经历。我们与孩子们一起度过珍贵的时光，我们对孩 子们的未来充满骄傲和欣喜；我们还珍惜每次可以为他们树立榜样或提供建议的机会；机会 永远都在那里，我们应该向他们表达自己的爱。 thats something worth remembering this fathers day, and every day. 这些值 得我们在父亲节以及每一天牢记。 thanks, and happy fathers day to all the dads out there. have a great weekend. 谢谢，祝所有父亲节日快乐！祝大家周末快乐！篇三：美国总统
