1、奥巴马夫人米歇尔的助选演讲稿x月x日，在美国北卡罗来纳州夏洛特举行的民主党全国代表大会上，美国第一夫人米歇尔奥巴马发表演讲，为丈夫竞选助阵。 然而这场演讲最重要的不在于其政治因素，而是激励听众的一种由底层向上不断努力的价值观。 英文原稿： First Lady Michelle Obama: When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never couldve attended college without

2、 financial aid. And believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage. We were so young, so in love, and so in debt. Thats why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants

3、every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt. So in the end, for Barack, these issues arent political theyre personal. Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles. He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and g

4、randkids. Barack knows the American Dream because hes lived it.and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where were from, or what we look like, or who we love. And he believes that when youve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that door

5、way of opportunity.you do not slam it shut behind you.you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his

6、 heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago. Hes the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down, fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to

7、work.because for Barack, success isnt about how much money you make, its about the difference you make in peoples lives. Hes the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone

8、 we knew. Thats the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships. Thats the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the

9、letters people have sent him. The letter from the father struggling to pay his bills.from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company wont cover her care.from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities. I see the concern in his eyes.and I hear the determination in his voice

10、 as he tells me, You wont believe what these folks are going through, Michelle.its not right. Weve got to keep working to fix this. Weve got so much more to do. I see how those stories our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams I see how thats what drives Barack Obama every single day. And I d

11、idnt think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago.even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met. I love that hes never forgotten how he started. I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says hes going to do, even when its hard especially when it

12、s hard. I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as us and them he doesnt care whether youre a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above.he knows that we all love our country.and hes always ready to listen to good ideas.hes always looking for the very best in everyone he meets. And I love t

13、hat even in the toughest moments, when were all sweating it when were worried that the bill wont pass, and it seems like all is lost Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward.with patience and wisdom,

14、 and courage and grace. And he reminds me that we are playing a long game here.and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once. But eventually we get there, we always do. We get there because of folks like my Dad.folks like Baracks grandmother.men and women who said to

15、themselves, I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will.maybe my grandchildren will. So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love.because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard. So today

16、, when the challenges we face start to seem overwhelming or even impossible let us never forget that doing the impossible is the history of this nation.its who we are as Americans.its how this country was built. And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us.if they could raise b

17、eams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button.then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids. And if so many brave men and women could wear our countrys uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental

18、 rights.then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights.surely, we can get to the polls and make our voices heard on Election Day. If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire.if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a

19、better life on our shores.if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote.if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time.if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream.and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at t

20、he altar with who they love.then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream. Because in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle.That is what has made my story,

21、 and Baracks story, and so many other American stories possible. And I say all of this tonight not just as First Lady.and not just as a wife.You see, at the end of the day, my most important title is still mom-in-chief. My daughters are still the heart of my heart and the center of my world. But tod

22、ay, I have none of those worries from four years ago about whether Barack and I were doing whats best for our girls. Because today, I know from experience that if I truly want to leave a better world for my daughters, and all our sons and daughters.if we want to give all our children a foundation fo

23、r their dreams and opportunities worthy of their promise.if we want to give them that sense of limitless possibility that belief that here in America, there is always something better out there if youre willing to work for it.then we must work like never before.and we must once again come together and stand together for the man we can trust to keep moving this great country forward.my husband, our President, President Barack Obama. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.
