Weekly Address: Ensuring Every Child Gets a Great Education (May 2, 2015)

奧巴馬每周電視講話：總統(tǒng)呼吁每個孩子都受到良好教育

Hi everybody. I'm speaking with you from the DC Public Library in Anacostia, where I just met with a group of promising middle school students.

大家好!我在阿納科斯特區(qū)公立圖書館向大家發(fā)表演說。在這里，我剛剛會見了一批大有前途的中學生。

We spent some time talking about their lives, and how we all care about their success-and how that starts with a good education.

我與他們一起談?wù)撍麄兊纳?，表達了我們對他們未來的關(guān)注，從良好的教育開始，為他們開啟美好未來。

So one thing I announced here in Anacostia is a new project by libraries and major publishers to provide more than 250 million in free e-Books for low-income students.

今天在阿納科斯我要宣布的是一項由圖書館和大型出版商發(fā)起的行動，為低收入家庭的孩子提供價值超過2.5億美元的電子書。

We also issued a challenge to mayors, libraries, and school leaders to help every student get a library card, so they can expand their horizons in a place like this.

我們也寄希望于所有市長、圖書館長和學校校長幫助每個孩子獲得一張圖書館卡，讓他們可以在這樣的圖書館里增長見識。

It's all part of our ConnectED initiative to connect 99% of America's students to high-speed Internet. Because no matter who you are, where you live, or how much money you've got, you should be able to access the world's knowledge and information just like anyone else.

這是我們在線教育行動計劃的一部分，這項計劃要讓全美99%的學生接入高速互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。因為無論你是誰，生活在何處，有多少錢，你都應(yīng)該能夠與任何人一樣獲得這個世界上的各種知識和信息。

In a global economy, we've got to help ensure that everyone, of every age, in every zip code-urban and rural-has the chance to learn the skills that lead directly to a good job.

在全球化經(jīng)濟背景下，我們要幫助各個地區(qū)各個年齡階段的每一個人，無論是城市的還是鄉(xiāng)村的，讓每個人都有機會學習各種技能，找到好工作。

That's also why I've put forward a plan to make two years of community college as free and universal for every American as high school is today. It's something I'll talk about in my commencement address next week at Lake Area Tech, in the small town of Watertown, South Dakota. It's a community college with a graduation rate that is nearly twice the national average. They're proving that a great education can be within everyone's reach.

也正因如此，我提出一項計劃讓兩年的社區(qū)大學與全國的高中教育一樣，全面免費。這也是我下周將要在南達科他州的水城的湖區(qū)理工學院發(fā)表演說要講的內(nèi)容。這所社區(qū)大學的學生畢業(yè)率是全國平均水平的兩倍。他們的成功向人們證實，良好的教育是人人都可以得到的。

All of us have a responsibility to not only make sure our own children have pathways to success but that all children do. And a great education is the ticket to a better life like never before. Making sure all our kids receive one is the surest way to show them that their lives matter. And it's the smartest way to prove to them that in communities like this, and in a country like ours, we believe in opportunity for all.

我們每個人都有責任，不僅僅要讓我們自己的孩子得到通往成功的道路，更要讓所有孩子都有這樣的機會。再也沒有什么比良好的教育能為孩子們提供更好的機會。確保所有孩子都得到良好教育才能讓他們知道生命的重要。在這樣的社區(qū)、在這個國家，這也是向人們證明人人都享有同樣機會最明智的方式。

Thanks, everybody. And have a great weekend.

謝謝大家，祝你們周末愉快。
