奥巴马上海演讲（译文）(2009-11-17 18:49)
奥巴马总统：你们好。能够有机会在上海跟你们大家交谈，我深感荣幸。我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。我还要感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他代表了我们两国之间的深远联系和相互尊重。我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得不错。（笑声）
我今天准备先做一个开场白，但我真正希望做的是回答问题，不但回答在座的学生提出的问题，同时也回答从网上提出的一些问题，这些问题由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提出。很抱歉，我的中文不如你们的英文，但我期待着这个和你们对话的机会。
这是我首次访问中国，看到你们壮丽的国家，我感到很兴奋。在上海，我们看到了全球瞩目的发展——高耸的大厦、繁忙的街道、创业的动态。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。同时，我也期盼看到向我们展现中国悠久历史的古迹。明天和后天我会在北京，希望有机会看到壮观的故宫和奇迹般的长城。的确，这是一个既有丰富的历史，又对未来的希望充满信心的国家。
我们两国的关系也是如此。毫无疑问，上海在美中关系史上是一个具有重大意义的城市。正是在这里，37年前发布的《上海公报》（Shanghai
Communique）开启了我们两
奥巴马上海演讲（1）(2009-11-17 18:45)
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon. It is a great
honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity
to speak with all of you. I'd like to thank Fudan
University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious
welcome. I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador,
Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our
nations. I don't know what he said, but I hope it was
good. (Laughter.)
What I'd like to do is to make some opening comments, and then
what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not
only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received
questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who
are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman.
And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English,
but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue.
This is my first time
奥巴马上海演讲（2）(2009-11-17 18:44)
To return to the proverb -- consider the past. We know
that more is to be gained when great powers cooperate than when
they collide. That is a lesson that human beings have learned
time and again, and that is the example of the history between our
nations. And I believe strongly that cooperation must go
beyond our government. It must be rooted in our people -- in
the studies we share, the business that we do, the knowledge that
we gain, and even in the sports that we play. And these
bridges must be built by young men and women just like you and your
counterparts in America.
That's why I'm pleased to announce that the United States will
dramatically expand the number of our students who study in China
to 100,000. And these exchanges mark a clear commitment to
build ties among our people, as surely as you will help determine
the destiny of the 21st century. And I'm absolutely confident
that America has

Q (As translated.) Mr. President, good
afternoon. I'm from Tongji University. I want to cite a
saying from Confucius: 'It is always good to have a friend coming
from afar.' In Confucius books, there is a great saying which
says that harmony is good, but also we uphold differences.
China advocates a harmonious world. We know that the United
States develops a culture that features diversity. I want to
know, what will your government do to build a diversified world
with different cultures? What would you do to respect the
different cultures and histories of other countries? And what
kinds of cooperation we can conduct in the future?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: This is an excellent point. The
United States, one of our strengths is that we are a very diverse
culture. We have people coming from all around the
world. And so there's no one definition of what an Ameri
奥巴马上海演讲(4)(2009-11-17 18:32)
The one last piece of advice, though, that I would have that
has been useful for me is the people who I admire the most and are
most successful, they're not just thinking only about themselves
but they're also thinking about something larger than
themselves. So they want to make a contribution to
society. They want to make a contribution to their country,
their nation, their city. They are interested in having an
impact beyond their own immediate lives.
I think so many of us, we get caught up with wanting to make
money for ourselves and have a nice car and have a nice house and
-- all those things are important, but the people who really make
their mark on the world is because they have a bigger
ambition. They say, how can I help feed hungry people?
Or, how can I help to teach children who don't have an
education? Or, how can I bring about peaceful resolution of
conflicts? Those are the people I think
英语文字与汉字是完全不同的。
汉字是象形文字,有形无音。而英文是字母文字,是按发音规则创造的文字。学英语千万不要'背单词'，越是强要求记忆单词，往往孩子强记的只是汉语翻译。
不要把英语当作高深莫测的知识，它和汉语一样，只是一个语言的工具。
养成阅读的好习惯(2009-11-10 07:10)
阅读，是学习英语的一个重要的方法。所以适当的阅读对准备进入初中学习的学生是很有帮助的。
建议学生们阅读《21世纪英文报》等一些较正规的英文报纸，通过阅读既可以了解最新时事新闻的英文表达，又可以欣赏到美文趣事，还有一些试题类型的阅读材料，通过阅读后答题来检验自己的理解。
另外一些英文类的杂志和故事书也是首选。如果是自学建议学习《新概念英语》一-三册。通过阅读能扩大自己的词汇量，展自己的英文写作能力，同时丰富了自己的文学修养。
养成听说的好习惯(2009-11-10 06:50)
语言学习是需要大量的输入和交际的，听就是一种很好的输入方式，现在听英语的渠道很多，有广播、电视等各种媒体的英语节目，如英语新闻，国际频道节目等都是很好的视听资源。坚持每天收听收看英语节目1小时，对听力的提高及文化背景知识的积累大有益处。
另外，语言是要讲要读的，在缺少交际环境的情况下，朗读是必要的，坚持每天开口朗读一些英语材料，或者把听到的，读过的英文材料口头复述一些，既可以帮助练习口语，又可以帮助记忆，养成说的习惯。
学习英语背诵单词是必不可少的环节，但这又恰恰是最难的一关。如果想把单词记牢，总结了几种方法，可以一起试试。但是并不是所有的方法都是用于每个人，选对的，适合自己的方法才是关键。
1.逻辑记忆：通过词的本身的内部逻辑关系，词与词之间的外部逻辑关系记忆单词。
1)把几个字母看作做一个来记 如：“ight” light, right, fight, night,
might, sight, tight
2)外旧内新，如：bridge “桥”看成 b+ridge ridge“山脊”sharp 看成 s+harp
harp 竖琴。
3)外新内旧，如：cleave “劈开”看成 c+leave,
没有寒风不叫冬天，没有雪花不叫冬天。
家乡早已飘起了我最爱的雪花，有点想家！
今早升旗站在国旗下，寒风贯穿全身，通透的冷。
冬天来了，期盼着，盼望着，白色的冬天~~~~~~~
冬天来了，寒风+雪花=冬天快乐
