奥巴马开学演讲致辞中英版(3)

　　I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn. 我谈到过教师有责任激励你们，督促你们学习。

　　I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox. 我谈到过家长有责任确保你们走正道、完成家庭作业，不要成天只会看电视或打游戏机。

　　I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and

　　supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.

　　我也多次谈到过政府有责任制定高标准协助老师和校长的工作，改变在有些学校学生得不到应有的学习机会的现状。 But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools,

　　unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and

　　grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.

　　但哪怕这一切都达到最好，哪怕我们拥有最敬业的教师，最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校，假如你们不去履行自己的责任的话，那么这一切努力都会白费。除非你每天准时去上学，除非你认真听老师讲课，除非你把父母、长辈和其他大人们的话放在心上。除非你肯付出成功所必需的努力。否则这一切都会失去意识。而这就是我今天讲话的重点：你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。
