美國總統奧巴馬9月8日開學演講

　　REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

　　IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'S SCHOOLCHILDREN

　　Wakefield High School

　　Arlington, Virginia

　　Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody.

　　嗨，大家好！謝謝！謝謝大家！

　　All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody going today? How about Tim Spicer?

　　好的，大家請就座。你們今天過得怎么樣？蒂姆.斯派塞好嗎？

　　I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause.

　　我現在與弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓郡維克菲爾德高中的學生們在一起。全國各地也有從幼兒園到高三的眾多學生們，通過電視關注這里。我很高興你們能共同分享這一時刻。我還有感謝維克菲爾德高中出色的組織安排，請為你們熱烈鼓掌。 I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous.

　　我知道，對你們中的許多人來說，今天是開學的第一天。對于剛進入幼兒園或升上初中高中的學生，今天是你們來到新學校的第一天。因此，假如你們搞到有些緊張，那也是正常的。I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now --with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.

　　我想也會有許多畢業班的學生們正自信滿滿，還有一年就畢業了。不論在哪個年級，許多人打心底里希望現在還是暑假。今天早上還能多睡一小會。
