奥巴马父亲节讲话

1、奥巴马父亲节讲话 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. 本周日即将是父亲节, 我想借此机会谈谈我们大家终将面临的最最重要的工作: 做一个父亲. Today were blessed to live in a world where technology allows us to connect inst

2、antly with just about anyone on the pla. 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. 今天我们很有幸生活在一个能瞬间可和地球上的任何一个人联系的科技时代. 但无论科技如何发达, 都没有

3、任何东西可以取代一个家长在孩子生活中的出现, 爱和支持. 在许多方面, 对父亲而言尤为如此. Being a good parent 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. 要做一个好的父母是不容易的. 它要

4、求你不停的注意力, 时常的牺牲, 和健康的耐心. 然而, 没有人是完美的. 直到今天, 我仍在找寻如何才能做一个更好的丈夫和父亲的.途径. Because if theres one thing Ive learned along the way, its that all our personal suesses shine a little less brightly if we fail at family. Thats what matters most. When I look back on my life, I wont be thinking about any particu

5、lar 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 whether I did right by

6、 them, and whether they knew, every day, just how much they were loved. 假如一路走来我学到了一件事的话, 那就是如果我们的家庭失败, 我们的成就将黯然无光. 家庭是最重要的. 当我回首自己的生活, 我不会去想我所通过或推举的任何一项立法, 但我会想我的太太和我们共同行走的路程. 我会去想Sasha的舞蹈彩排和Malia的网球比赛, 以及我们之间的谈话和共享的安静时光. 我会想我是否对他们所做是正确的, 他们是否每天都知道我是多么的爱他们. Thats what I think being a father is all a

7、bout. And if we can do our best to be a source of fort and encouragement to our kids; if we can show them unconditional love and help them grow into the people they were meant to be; then we will have sueeded. 这就是我想的应该如何为人父. 假如我们能尽全力为孩子们提供舒适和勇气, 假如我们能向他们展示无条件的爱并帮助他们成为他们想成为的人, 那我们就成功了. Happy Fathers

8、Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend. 祝福每一个父亲父亲节快乐, 并过一个美好的周末。 奥巴马在父亲节的讲话xx-05-15 06:55 | #2楼 大家好！在这个父亲节周末，我想花几分钟时间谈谈我那份有时倍感困难但却永远最有价值的工作父亲。 我的成长没有父亲的陪伴。他离开时，我只有两岁。虽然我和我妹妹能足够幸运地在一位优秀的母亲和祖父母的养育下成长，我仍然感到这是一种缺憾。我常常想假如他没有离开的话，我的生活会有怎样的不同啊。 这就是为什么我要如此竭尽所能地去成为自己孩子的好父亲。当然，我并不总是成功。到目前为止，我的工作常使我不情愿地离开家庭，此时培养两个姑娘的重任就过于依赖米歇尔去完成。 从我自己的成长经历和尽力成为称职父亲的经验中，我对孩子最需要从父母处得到什么的问题，有了更深的心得体会。 首先，孩子们需要我们花时间与之相处。这不仅指相处的时间长短，更重要的是相处的质量。也许只是简单的问候或者是散散步说说话，但是这些最简单的活动却可能够产生最大的影响。 孩子们也需要引导，包括让他们懂得自律和责任感的价值。我的两个女儿这些日子住在白宫，但
