米歇爾母親節演講稿1
Ni hao. It is such a pleasant and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university…Thank you so much for having me.
And before I get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I just want to say a few very brief words above Malaysian(sic) Airline Flight 370.
As my husband has said, the United States offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search. And please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
And with that, I want to start by recognizing our news Ambassador to China Ambassador Baucus…President Wang…Chairman Zhu…Vice President Li. Director Cueller, Professor Oi and the Stanford center…President Sexton from New York University which has an excellent study abroad program in Shanghai…and John Thorton, Director of the Global Leadership Program at Tsinghua University…thank you all so much for joining us.
And most of all, I want to thank all of the student for being here today…and I particulary want to thank Eric Schafer and Zhu Xuanbao for that extraordinary English and Chinese introduction.
That was such a powerful symbol of everything I want to talk with you about today.
You see, by learning each other’s languages - and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures - Mr. Schafer and Ms. Zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.
And I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among your people like you acrothe globe.
That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don't just visit palaces and parliament and meet with heads of state.
We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you.
Because we believe that relationships between nations are not just about relationship between governments or leaders…they’re about relationships between people, particularly our young people.
So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity f or students…but also as a vital part ofAmerica’s foreign policy.
You see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before.
Ideas can croocean with the click of a button.
Companies can do busineand complete with companies acrothe globe.
And we can text, email and skype with people on every continent.
So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a semester-it’s quickly becoming the key to succein our global economy.
Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school…it’s also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders - experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.
Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”
But let’s be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future - it’s also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.
Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time - whether it’s climate change, or economic opportunity, or the spread of nuclear weapons...these are shared challenges.
No one country can confront them alone...the only way forward is together.
That’s why it’s so important for young people like you to live and study in each other’s countries.
Because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation - you do it by improving yourself in someone’s culture…by learning each other’s stories…and by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.
That’s how you come to understand how much we all share.
And that’s how you realize that we all have a stake in each other’s succe- that cures discovered here in Beijing could save lives in America…the clean energy technologies from Silicon Valley in California could improve the environment here in China…that the architecture of an ancient temple in Xi’an could inspire the design of new buildings in Dallas or Detroit.
And that’s when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more. That’s what happened when Abigail Coplin became an American Fulbright Scholar here at Peking University.
She and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals…and they both research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.
Professor Niu Ke from Peking University was Fulbright Scholar in theU. S.last year…and he reported, and I quote, “the most memorable experience were with my American friends. ”
These lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad…and I am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.
China is currently the fifth most popular destination for Americans studying abroad.
And today, the highest number of exchange students in the U.S. are from China.
But still, too many students never have this chance…and some that do are hesitant to take it.
They may feel like study abroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds of universities. Or they may think to themselves: “Well, that sounds fun, but how will it really be useful in my life?”
米歇爾母親節演講稿2
Hello everyone, I’m Michelle Obama,and on this Mother’s Day weekend, I want to take a moment to honor all the mothers out there and wish you a Happy Mother’s Day. I also want to speak to you about an issue of great significance to me as a First Lady, and more importantly, as the mother of two young daughters. Like millions of people across the globe, my husband and I are outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls from their school dormitory in the middle of the night. This unconscionable act was committed by a terrorist group determined to keep these girls from/ getting an education – grown men attempting to snuff out the aspirations of young girls.
And I want you to know that Barack has directed our government to do everything possible to support the Nigerian government’s efforts to find these girls and bring them home. In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters. We see their hopes, their dreams – and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now. Many of them may have been hesitant to send their daughters off to school, fearing that harm might come their way.
But they took that risk because they believed in their daughters’ promise and wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed. The girls themselves also knew full well the dangers they might encounter.
Their school had recently been closed due to terrorist threats…but these girls still insisted on returning to take their exams. They were so determined to move to the next level of their education…so determined to one day build careers of their own and make their families and communities proud. And what happened in Nigeria was not an isolated incident…it is a story we see every day as girls around the world risk their lives to pursue their ambitions.
It’s the story of girls like Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan. Malala spoke out for girls’ education in her community…and as a result, she was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman while on a school bus with her classmates.
But fortunately Malala survived…and when I met her last year, I could feel her passion and determination as she told me that girls’ education is still her life’s mission.
As Malala said in her address to the United Nations, she said “The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.” The courage and hope embodied by Malala and girls like her around the world should serve as a call to action. Because right now, more than 65 million girls worldwide are not in school.
Yet, we know that girls who are educated make higher wages, lead healthier lives, and havehealthier families. And when more girls attend secondary school, that boosts their country’s entire economy. So education is truly a girl’s best chance for a bright future, not just for herself, but for her familyand her nation. And that’s true right here in the U.S. as well…so I hope the story of these Nigerian girls will serve asan inspiration for every girl – and boy – in this country. I hope that any young people in America who take school for granted – any young people whoare slacking off or thinking of dropping out – I hope they will learn the story of these girls andrecommit themselves to their education. These girls embody the best hope for the future of our world…and we are committed to standingup for them not just in times of tragedy or crisis, but for the long haul. We are committed to giving them the opportunities they deserve to fulfill every last bit of theirGod-given potential.
So today, let us all pray for their safe return... let us hold their families in our hearts during this verydifficult time…and let us show just a fraction of their courage in fighting to give every girl on thisplanet the education that is her birthright. Thank you.
