奥巴马讲话父亲节

In this week’s address, President Obama reflected on Father’s Day and said that nothing substitutes for the love and support of the presence of a parent in a child’s life. The President knows that for many people like him, being a good parent is a critically important job, and that personal successes matter less than being a source of comfort and encouragement to our kids. President Obama wishes all dads a Happy Father’s Day and everyone a great weekend.

奥巴马讲话父亲节

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.

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.

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 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 to instill – values like hard work and integrity; responsibility and delayed gratification – all the things that give a child the foundation to envision a brighter future for themselves.

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.

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 healthy dose 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.

And I want to do what I can as President to encourage 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.

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. When I look back on my life, I won’t be thinking about any particular legislation I passed or policy I promoted. I’ll be thinking about Michelle, and the journey we’ve been on together. I’ll be thinking about Sasha’s dance recitals and Malia’s tennis matches – about the conversations we’ve had 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

我从来不真正地了解我自己的父亲. 我是由单亲妈妈和两个和蔼的祖父母带大, 他们为我做了不可想象的牺牲. 全国有很多的单亲父母做着同样伟大的带大孩子的工作. 但我仍然希望我能有一个父亲不仅在我周围, 而且参与我的生活; 作为另一个榜样来告诉我我的母亲尽了她全力所给了我的那些价值, 如努力工作, 品行端正, 责任, 不贪图享乐, 所有这些价值都给一个孩子去设想自己的美好未来的基础. 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两个女儿在一起, 这是我的父亲所没有做到的. 我也见过许多其他人, 父亲, 叔叔, 或没有家庭联系的男人, 他们都在试图去打破常规并给我们的年青人一个强大的男人的榜样.

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.

做好的父母亲，不管是同性恋或是异性恋，养父母亲或是祖父母都不容易。这需要你持续的关注，频繁的做出牺牲，很健康耐心的心态。

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妻子的好丈夫和孩子的好父亲的途径.

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.

作为一个总统, 我想尽我所能去鼓励稳定的婚姻和强大的家庭. 我们应该改变我们

的孩子抚养的法律以让更多的男人工作并介入到孩子的生活中. 我的政府也将真诚地和其它社会组织，也包括企业，打赢更好地抚养孩子和传递父爱的战役。发动强大的如何抚育孩子和为人之父的活动.

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.

因为如果说我成长中学到了什么东西的话，这就是如果我们在家庭上失败了，所有个人的成功都少了一点明亮的光泽。这才是最重要的。

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.

当我回忆我的一生，我不会想到任何我通过的特定法案或是我力促的政策. 我将会想到的是和米歇尔和我们一起走过的岁月。

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.

我将会想到的是萨沙的舞蹈演出和玛丽亚的网球比赛, 我们在一起的对话和一起共享的静谧时光。我会想我是否做到了。是否他们知道每一天我是如此的爱着他们。 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.

这就是我认为作为一个父亲应该关心的。如果我们可以尽我们的全力来安慰和鼓励我们的孩子，如果我们可以付出我们无条件的爱帮助他们成为应该成为的人，那么我们就成功了。祝福每一个父亲父亲节快乐, 并过一个美好的周末.
