奧巴馬倫敦父親節(jié)演講

Hi, everybody. This Sunday is Father’s Day, and so I wanted to take a moment to talk about the most important job many of us will ever have – and that’s being a dad. 大家好. 本周日即將是父親節(jié), 我想借此機會談?wù)勎覀兇蠹医K將面臨的最最重要的工作: 做一個父親.

Today we’re blessed to live in a world where 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 child’s life. And in many ways, that’s uniquely true for fathers.

今天我們很有幸生活在一個能瞬間可和地球上的任何一個人聯(lián)系的科技時代. 但無論科技如何發(fā)達, 都沒有任何東西可以取代一個家長在孩子生活中的出現(xiàn), 愛和支持. 在許多方面, 對父親而言尤為如此.

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 like my mom all across the country who do a heroic job raising 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 – values like hard work and integrity; responsibility and delayed – all the things that give a child the foundation to envision a bright future for themselves.

我從來不真正地了解我自己的父親. 我是由單親媽媽和兩個和藹的祖父母帶大, 他們?yōu)槲易隽瞬豢上胂蟮臓奚? 全國有很多的單親父母做著同樣偉大的帶大孩子的工作. 但我仍然希望我能有一個父親不僅在我周圍, 而且參與我的生活; 作為另一個榜樣來告訴我我的母親盡了她全力所給了我的那些價值, 如努力工作, 品行端正, 責(zé)任, 不貪圖享樂, 所有這些價值都給一個孩子去設(shè)想自己的美好未來的基礎(chǔ). 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 I’ve 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.

因此我努力每天都和太太和兩個女兒在一起, 這是我的父親所沒有做到的. 我也見過許多其他人, 父親, 叔叔, 或沒有家庭聯(lián)系的男人, 他們都在試圖去打破常規(guī)并給我們的年青人一個強大的男人的榜樣.

Being a good parent—whether you’re gay or straight, a foster parent or a grandparent—isn’t easy. It demands your constant attention, frequent sacrifice, and a of patience. And nobody’s perfect. To this day, I’m still figuring out how to be a better husband to my wife and father to my kids.

做好的父母親，不管是同性戀或是異性戀，養(yǎng)父母親或是祖父母都不容易。這需要你持續(xù)的關(guān)注，頻繁的做出犧牲，很健康耐心的心態(tài)。

然而, 沒有人是完美的. 直到今天, 我仍在找尋如何才能做一個妻子的好丈夫和孩子的好父親的途徑.

And I want to do what I can as President to encourage strong marriage and strong families. We should reform our child support laws to get more men working and engaged with their children. And my Administration will continue to work with the faith and other community organizations， as well as businesses, on a campaign to encourage strong

parenting and fatherhood.

作為一個總統(tǒng), 我想盡我所能去鼓勵穩(wěn)定的婚姻和強大的家庭. 我們應(yīng)該改變我們

的孩子撫養(yǎng)的法律以讓更多的男人工作并介入到孩子的生活中. 我的政府也將真誠地和其它社會組織，也包括企業(yè)，打贏更好地撫養(yǎng)孩子和傳遞父愛的戰(zhàn)役。發(fā)動強大的如何撫育孩子和為人之父的活動.

Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s that all our personal successes shine a little less brightly if we fail at family. That’s what matters most.

因為如果說我成長中學(xué)到了什么東西的話，這就是如果我們在家庭上失敗了，所有個人的成功都少了一點明亮的光澤。這才是最重要的。

When I look back on my life I won’t be thinking about any particular legislation I passed or policy I promoted. I will thinking about Michelle and the journey we’ve been on together.

當(dāng)我回憶我的一生，我不會想到任何我通過的特定法案或是我力促的政策. 我將會想到的是和米歇爾和我們一起走過的歲月。

I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s dance and Malia’s tennis matches, about the conversations we’ve and the quiet moments we’ve shared. I’ll be thinking about whether I did right by them. And whether they knew every day just how much they were loved.

我將會想到的是薩沙的舞蹈演出和瑪麗亞的網(wǎng)球比賽, 我們在一起的對話和一起共享的靜謐時光。我會想我是否做到了。是否他們知道每一天我是如此的愛著他們。 That’s what I think being a father is all about. And if we can do our best to be a source of comfort 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 succeeded. So Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and have a great weekend.

這就是我認為作為一個父親應(yīng)該關(guān)心的。如果我們可以盡我們的全力來安慰和鼓勵我們的孩子，如果我們可以付出我們無條件的愛幫助他們成為應(yīng)該成為的人，那么我們就成功了。祝福每一個父親父親節(jié)快樂, 并過一個美好的周末.

2017奧巴馬的父親節(jié)演講2017-05-15 08:51 | #2樓

Hi, everybody. This Father’s Day weekend, I’d like to spend a couple minutes talking about what’s sometimes my hardest, but always my most rewarding job – being a dad.

大家好！這個周末是父親節(jié)，我想花點時間與大家交流下做父親的感想。我覺得做好一個父親的角色有時候最困難，但也最有意義。

I grew up without my father around. He left when I was two years old, and even 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 presence.

從小父親就不在我的身邊。兩歲時父親離開了我們。但是我和妹妹很幸運，母親和祖父母對我們關(guān)懷備至，將我們撫養(yǎng)成人。盡管如此，我仍然覺得父愛缺失。我時常想，如果父親一直在我們的身邊，我的人生可能就會不一樣了。

That’s why I’ve 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 the burden of raising two young girls sometimes would fall too heavily on Michelle.

因此，當(dāng)有了自己的孩子后，我便加倍努力，讓自己成為一個好爸爸。當(dāng)然，并非事事順利。過去，因為工作的關(guān)系，我不得不經(jīng)常出差，這實在是情非得已。所以，撫育兩個女兒的重擔(dān)有時就落到了米歇爾的肩上。

But between my own experiences growing up, and my ongoing efforts to be the best father I can be, I’ve learned a couple of things about what our children need most from their parents.

自身成長的經(jīng)歷以及身為人父的經(jīng)歷，讓我懂得了很多東西。我一直竭盡全力做到最好，我也懂得孩子們最想從父母那里得到什么。

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 it’s just asking about their day, or taking a walk together, but the smallest moments can have the biggest impact.

首先，孩子們需要我們花時間陪伴。但陪伴他們的時間質(zhì)量比時間數(shù)量更重要。也許只是日常生活中的簡短問候，或是一起散步聊天，但這些最短暫的時光卻可以對他們產(chǎn)生最大的影響。

They also need structure, including learning the values of

self-discipline and responsibility. Malia and Sasha may live in the White House these days, but Michelle and I still make sure they finish their schoolwork, do their chores, and walk the dog.

同時，他們也需要一種結(jié)構(gòu)，包括需要了解自律和責(zé)仸的價值。盡管瑪莉亞和薩莎現(xiàn)在生活在白宮，但我和米歇爾還是要確保他們完成家庭作業(yè)，做好日常雜務(wù)，按時遛狗。

And above all, children need our unconditional love – whether they succeed or make mistakes; when life is easy and when life is tough.

最為重要的是，孩子們需要我們付出無條件的愛。無論他們是取得了成功，或是犯了錯誤，無論生活是舒適還是艱難。

And life is tough for a lot of Americans today. More and more kids grow up without a father figure. Others miss a father

who’s away serving his country in uniform. And even for those dads who are present in their children’s lives, the recession has taken a harsh toll. If you’re 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.

現(xiàn)在，很多美國人的生活非常艱難。越來越多的孩子在成長過程中缺乏父親的陪伴。有些父親身穿軍裝，為國效力，孩子們便不得不在家苦苦等候。即便是那些可以陪伴孩子們的父親，也因為經(jīng)濟衰退受到了嚴(yán)重的創(chuàng)傷。如果你失業(yè)了，或是入不敷出，也要盡全力讓孩子們過上健康、快樂，安全的生活，這顯然是最重要的事情。

That’s why my administration has offered men who want to be good fathers a little extra support. We’ve boosted community and faith-based groups focused on fatherhood, partnered with businesses to offer opportunities for fathers to spend time with their kids at the bowling alley or ballpark, and worked with military chaplains to help deployed dads connect with their children.

因此，對于那些希望盡職做個好父親的男人，政府正在為他們提供一些額外的支持。我們鼓勵社會和宗教團體關(guān)注父親的角色，并與企業(yè)合作為父親們提供一些機會，讓他們與孩子們一起度過在保齡球館或棒球場的時光，或與隨軍神父一起幫助父親們建立與孩子們的聯(lián)系。

We’re doing this because we all have a stake in forging

stronger bonds between fathers and their children. And you can find out more about some of what we’re doing at http://emrowgh.com.

我們這么做，是因為為父親和孩子建立更為緊密的聯(lián)系，對所有人都大有裨益。如果您想了解更多我們正在參與的工作，請登錄網(wǎng)站http://emrowgh.com。

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 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 treated.

但我們也知道，每個父親都有責(zé)仸為孩子們樹立榜樣，教育他們做正確的事情。我們都能夠鼓勵孩子們關(guān)掉游戲、撿起書本。我們都能為兒子準(zhǔn)備健康的午餐，或與女兒一起外出打球。我們都能教育孩子們區(qū)分對錯，并且以自己為榜樣，讓他們看到，我們希望別人怎樣對待自己，就應(yīng)該怎樣對待別人，這非常重要。

Our kids are pretty smart. They understand that life won’t always be perfect, that sometimes, the road gets rough, that even great parents don’t get everything right.

我們的孩子都很聰明。他們知道生活并不總是那么完美，他們懂得有時候道路會比較坎坷，即便是偉大的父母也不一定每件事都做的對。

But more than anything, they just want us to be a part of their lives.

但更重要的是，他們希望我們成為他們生活的一部分。

So recently, I took on a second job: assistant coach for Sasha’s basketball team. On Sundays, we’d get the team

together to practice, and a couple of times, I’d 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，成為薩莎她們籃球隊的助理教練。每周日，我們都會一起參加球隊的訓(xùn)練。有幾次我還幫助教練指導(dǎo)她們的比賽。我這個老爸有時會對裁判表達不滿，薩沙因而常常朝我翻白眼，即便如此，我依然覺得樂趣無窮。

But I was so proud watching her run up and down the court, seeing her learn and improve and gain confidence. And I was hopeful that in the years to come, she’d look back on

experiences like these as the ones that helped define her as a person – and as a parent herself.

看著她在球場上來回奔跑，不斷學(xué)習(xí)、取得進步并收獲自信，我感到非常驕傲。我希望，未來有一天當(dāng)她回顧這些經(jīng)歷時，能夠認識到這些經(jīng)歷曾經(jīng)幫助她長大成人，幫助她成為一位母親。

In the end, that’s 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 opportunities to just be there and show them that we love them.

最后我想說，這些都是為人父母的經(jīng)歷。我們與孩子們一起度過珍貴的時光，我們對孩子們的未來充滿驕傲和欣喜；我們還珍惜每次可以為他們樹立榜樣或提供建議的機會；機會永遠都在那里，我們應(yīng)該向他們表達自己的愛。

That’s something worth remembering this Father’s Day, and every day.

這些值得我們在父親節(jié)以及每一天牢記。

Thanks, and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Have a great weekend.

謝謝，祝所有父親節(jié)日快樂！祝大家周末快樂！
