托福阅读材料之奥巴马晚宴演说

2015-01-14 17:25:22来源：网络

　　今年，在白热化的大选季我们再次聚首，Axelrod(奥巴马的顾问)说我不应该错过任何重新向美国人民介绍自己的机会。所以今晚我打算就这样开场：我名叫贝拉克·奥巴马，我母亲出生在堪萨斯，我父亲出生在肯尼亚，而我出生在：当然是夏威夷。(自嘲出生证明事件)

　　In 2009, I took office in the face of some enormous challenges. Now, some have said I blame too many problems on my predecessor, but let’s not forget that’s a practice that was initiated by George W. Bush. Since then, Congress and I have certainly had our differences; yet, I’ve tried to be civil, to not take any cheap shots. And that’s why I want to especially thank all the members who took a break from their exhausting schedule of not passing any laws to be here tonight. Let’s give them a big round of applause.

　　2009年我就任总统时面临众多艰巨挑战。现在许多人说我把太多问题归咎于前任身上，但大家别忘了，这样的做法是小布什首创的。(这句本身就是推给前任)从那时起，国会跟我就矛盾不断，但我尽量保持风度，从不阴损吐槽。所以我今天要特别感谢那些从无所事事的百忙之中抽空到场的国会议员。(这就是cheap shot阴损吐槽啊)大家把热烈的掌声献给他们吧。

　　Despite many obstacles, much has changed during my time in office. Four years ago, I was locked in a brutal primary battle with Hillary Clinton. Four years later, she won’t stop drunk-texting me from Cartagena.

　　尽管险阻重重，但自我上任以来，许多事都有所改变，四年前，我跟希拉里在初选中斗得你死我活;四年后，她一喝多就从Cartagena给我发短信(希拉里最近走红的短信照和喝酒照，Cartagena也是特工嫖妓门的发生地)。

　　Four years ago, I was a Washington outsider. Four years later, I’m at this dinner. Four years ago, I looked like this. Today, I look like this. And four years from now, I will look like this. That’s not even funny.

　　四年前，我是首都政界圈外人;四年后，我出现在白宫晚宴上。四年前，我长这样;四年后，我长这样;再过四年，我就会长成这样了(摩根·弗里曼)。一点也不好笑。

　　Anyway, it’s great to be here this evening in the vast, magnificent Hilton ballroom -- or what Mitt Romney would call a little fixer-upper. I mean, look at this party. We’ve got men in tuxes, women in gowns, fine wine, first-class entertainment. I was just relieved to learn this was not a GSA conference. Unbelievable. Not even the mind reader knew what they were thinking.
