演讲一、奥x讲话 给孩子美好清洁安全的未来
Hi, everybody. One of the most urgent challenges of our time is climate change.
We know that 2015 surpassed 2014 as the warmest year on record - and 2016 is on pace to be even hotter. When I took office, I said this was something we couldn't kick down the road any longer -that our children's future depended on our action. So we got to work, and over the past seven-and-a-half years, we've made ambitious investments in clean energy, and ambitious reductions in our carbon emissions1.
We've multiplied wind power threefold. We've multiplied solar power more than thirtyfold. In parts of America, these clean power sources are finally cheaper than dirtier, conventional power. And carbon pollution from our energy sector2 is at its lowest level in 25 years, even as we're continuing to grow our economy.
We've invested in energy efficiency, and we're slashing3 carbon emissions from appliances, homes, and businesses - saving families money on their energy bills. We're reforming how we manage federal coal resources, which supply roughly 40% of America's coal. We've set the first-ever national standards limiting the amount of carbon pollution power plants can release into the sky. We also set standards to increase the distance our cars and light trucks can go on a gallon of gas every year through 2025. And they're working. At a time when we've seen auto4 sales surge, manufacturers are innovating5 and bringing new technology to market faster than expected.
Over 100 cars, SUVs, and pick-up trucks on the market today already meet our vehicles standards ahead of schedule. And we've seen a boom in the plug-in electric vehicle market - with more models, lower battery costs, and more than 16,000 charging stations.
But we're not done yet. In the weeks and months ahead, we'll release a second round of fuel efficiency standards for heavy-duty vehicles. We'll take steps to meet the goal we set with Canada and Mexico to achieve 50 percent clean power across North America by 2025. And we'll continue to protect our lands and waters so that our kids and grandkids can enjoy our most beautiful spaces for generations.
There's still much more to do. But there's no doubt that America has become a global leader in the fight against climate change. Last year, that leadership helped us bring nearly 200 nations together in Paris around the most ambitious agreement in history to save the one planet we've got. That's not something to tear up - it's something to build upon.
And if we keep pushing, and leading the world in the right direction, there's no doubt that, together, we can leave a better, cleaner, safer future for our children.
Thanks, everybody. Have a great weekend.
演讲二、艾玛·沃特森:消除校园暴力 保障女性安全
Thank you all for being here for this important moment. These men from all over the world havedecided1 to make gender2 equality a priority in their lives and in their universities. Thank you for making this commitment.
I graduated from university four years ago. I had always dreamed of going, and I know how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to do so.
Brown became my home, my community, and I took the ideas and the experiences I had there into all of my social interactions, into my work place, into my politics, into all aspects of my life. I know that my university experience shaped who I am. And of course it does for many people.
But what if our experience in university shows us that women don't belong in leadership? What if it shows us that, yes, women can study, but they shouldn't lead a seminar? What if, as still in many places around the world, it tells us that women don't belong there at all? What if, as is the case in far too many universities, we are given the message that sexual violence isn't actually a form of violence?
But, we know that if you change students' experiences so that they have different expectations of the world around them, expectations of equality, society will change.
As we leave home for the first time to study at the places that we have worked so hard to get, we must not see or experience double standards. We need to see equal respect, leadership and pay.
The university experience must tell women that their brain power is valued, and not just that, but that they belong within the leadership of the university itself.
And so importantly right now, the experience must make it clear, that the safety of women, minorities, and anyone who may be vulnerable is a right, not a privilege.
A right that will be respected by a community that believes and supports survivors3, and that recognizes that when one person's safety is violated, everyone feels their own safety is violated.
A university should be a place of refuge that takes action against all forms of violence. That's why we believe that students should leave university believing in, striving for and expecting societies of true equality. Society of true equality in every sense. And universities have the power to be a vital catalyst4 for that change.
Our ten impact champions have made this commitment and with their work, we know that they will inspire students, and other universities and schools across the world to do better.
I am delighted to introduce this report on our progress, and I am eager to hear what's next. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
演讲三、乔·拜登讲话 团结一致制止暴力
Although I didn't know the five police officers who were killed, or the seven who were wounded in Dallas this week - I really did know them.
They were the folks I grew up with: The boy with the most courage and the most compassion1; the man with a brave heart and a generous soul, whose words were always encouraging; and the son, the son who made his mom proud every time he turned and smiled at her; and the friend you need and count on the guy you always had your back.
Being a cop isn't what they did. It was who they were-like every officer who joined foressentially2 the same reason.
There was something about them that made them think they could help, that they should serve, that they had a duty. So when an assassin's bullet targeted the police force in Dallas, it touched the soul of the nation.
Those killed and wounded were protecting the safety of those who were peacefully protesting against racial injustices3 in the criminal justice system. Those who were marching and re-marching against the kind of shocking images we saw in St. Paul and Baton4 Rouge-and have seen so often elsewhere-of too many black lives lost.
I believe the Dallas Police Department is one of the finest in the nation-and this incredibly diverse city I believe that will be able to bridge any divide. To paraphrase5 Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, let us use our words carefully. Let us act with unity6, and not division.
As Dallas Police Chief David Brown-one of the leading chiefs in America-said, "There are no words to describe the atrocity7 that occurred to our city, all I know is this must stop, this divisiveness between our police and our citizens."
As Americans, we are wounded by all of these deaths. It's on all of us to stand up, to speak out about disparities in our criminal justice system-just as it's on all of us to stand up for the police who protect us in our communities every single day.
In these days and weeks ahead, we're going to continue to offer our thoughts and prayers to provide comfort to the broken-hearted families. But they will only be redeemed8 by the courage of our actions that honor their memories. This violence has to stop. It's not normal. It's not who we are. So this time while testing, we can't be pulled apart.
We are America, with bonds that hold us together. We endure, we overcome, and we stand together.
