1
Hi everybody.
大家好。
2
Anaya, thank you for that beautiful introduction.
阿納亞，感謝你這番精彩的介紹。
3
I could not be prouder of everything you've done in your time with the Obama Foundation.
4
And of course, I couldn't be prouder of all of you in the graduating class of 2020,
5
as well as the teachers and the coaches,
6
and most of all, parents and family who guided you along the way.
7
Now, graduating is a big achievement under any circumstances.
8
Some of you have had to overcome serious obstacles along the way,
9
whether it was an illness or a parent losing a job,
10
or living in a neighborhood where people too often count you out.
11
Along with the usual challenges of growing up,
12
all of you have had to deal with the added pressures of social media,
13
reports of school shootings, and the specter of climate change.
14
And then, just as you're about to celebrate having made it through,
15
just as you've been looking forward to proms and senior nights,
16
graduation ceremonies, and let's face it,
17
a whole bunch of parties,
18
the world is turned upside down by a global pandemic.
19
And as much as I'm sure you love your parents,
20
I'll bet that being stuck at home with them and playing board games or watching Tiger King on TV
21
is not exactly how you envisioned the last few months of your senior year.
22
Now I'll be honest with you,
23
the disappointments of missing a live graduation,
24
mine usually go on way too long.
25
Also, not that many people look great in those caps,
26
especially if you have big ears like me.
27
And you'll have plenty of time to catch up with your friends once the immediate public health crisis is over.
28
But what remains true is that your graduation marks your passage into adulthood,
29
the time when you begin to take charge of your own life.
30
It's when you You get to decide what's important to you,
31
the kind of career you want to pursue,
32
who you want to build a family with,
33
the values you want to live by.
34
And given the current state of the world,
35
that may be kind of scary.
36
If you'd planned on going away for college,
37
getting dropped off at campus in the fall,
38
that's no longer a given.
39
If you are planning to work while going to school,
40
finding that first job is going to be tougher.
41
Even families that are relatively well off are dealing with massive uncertainty.
42
Those who were struggling before,
43
they're hanging on by a thread.
44
All of which means that you're going to have to grow up faster than some generations.
45
This pandemic has shaken up the status quo and laid bare a lot of our country's deep-seated problems.
46
From massive economic inequality, to ongoing racial disparities,
47
to a lack of basic health care for people who need it.
48
It's woken a lot of young people up to the fact that the old ways of doing things just don't work.
49
That it doesn't matter how much money you make if everyone around you is hungry and sick.
50
And that our society and our democracy only work when we think not just about ourselves but about each other.
51
It's also pulled the curtain back on another hard truth,
52
something that we all have to eventually accept once our childhood comes to an end.
53
You know, all those adults that you used to think were in charge and knew what they were doing?
54
Turns out they don't have all the answers.
55
A lot of them aren't even asking the right questions.
56
So if the world's going to get better,
57
it's going to be up to you.
58
My realization may be kind of intimidating,
59
but I hope it's also inspiring.
60
With all the challenges this country faces right now,
61
nobody can tell you, no,
62
you're too young to understand,
63
or this is how it's always been done.
64
Because with so much uncertainty,
65
with everything suddenly up for grabs,
66
this is your generation's world to shape.
67
Since I'm one of the old guys,
68
I won't tell you what to do with this power that rests in your hands.
69
But I'll leave you with three quick pieces of advice.
70
First, don't be afraid.
71
America has gone through tough times before.
72
Slavery, civil war, famine, disease,
73
the Great Depression, and 9-11.
74
And each time, we came out stronger.
75
Usually because a new generation,
76
young people like you, learned from past mistakes and figured out how to make things better.
77
Second, do what you think is right.
78
Doing what feels good, what's convenient,
79
what's easy, that's how little kids think.
80
Unfortunately, a lot of so-called grown-ups,
81
including some with fancy titles and important jobs, still think that way.
82
Which is why things are so screwed up.
83
I hope that instead you decide to ground yourself in values that last.
84
honesty, hard work, responsibility, fairness, generosity, respect for others.
85
You won't get it right every time.
86
You'll make mistakes like we all do.
87
But if you listen to the truth that's inside yourself,
88
even when it's hard, even when it's inconvenient, people will notice.
89
They'll gravitate towards you.
90
And you'll be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
91
And finally, build a community.
92
No one does big things by themselves.
93
Right now, when people are scared,
94
it's easy to be cynical and say,
95
let me just look out for myself or my family or people who look or think or pray like me.
96
But if we're going to get through these difficult times,
97
if we're going to create a world where everybody has opportunity to find a job and afford college,
98
if we're going to save the environment and defeat future pandemics,
99
then we're going to have to do it together.
100
So be alive to one another's struggles.
101
Stand up for one another's rights.
102
Leave behind all the old ways of thinking that divide us.
103
Sexism, racial prejudice, status, greed,
104
and set the world on a different path.
105
When you need help, Michelle
106
and I have made it the mission of our foundation to give young people like you the skills
107
and support to lead in your own communities
108
and to connect you with other young leaders around the country and around the globe.
109
But the truth is you don't need us to tell you what to do
110
because in so many ways you've already started to lead.
111
Congratulations class of 2020.
112
Keep making us proud.
113
Thank you.
FOR YOU

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
在學習英語的過程中，口語練習是至關重要的一環。通過觀看歐巴馬的演講，學生不僅能接觸到地道的英語表達，還能在真實的社會和文化背景下理解語言的運用。這段演講為2020年高中畢業生提供了深刻的鼓舞，涉及到許多年輕人面臨的挑戰和機遇。通過模仿和練習這些口語片段，學習者可以有效提升自己的交流能力，同時培養對語言的敏感度。這種形式的學習被稱為英語影子跟讀，能夠幫助學生在語音、語調和情感表達上獲得直觀的體驗與提升。
語法與表達在語境中的運用
演講中使用了多個關鍵的語法結構和表達，值得學習者注意：
- 情態動詞: “你將不得不”， 這表明了未來的可能性和必要性，例如“你將不得不更快成長。”
- 否定形式: “不是每個人”，用以強調某個觀點的侷限性，例如“不是每個人都能輕鬆應對這些挑戰。”
- 條件句: “如果你計劃去大學”，這種結構幫助表達條件關係，學生可以用來談論未來的計劃。
- 反義疑問句: “對吧？”這種句型可以幫助學習者在交流中尋求確認或互動。
- 直接引語: “我會告訴你”，這增加了語言的生動性，適合在日常對話中使用。
常見發音陷阱
在這段影片中，有幾個發音和重音的技巧是學習者需要特別注意的：
- “graduation”: 常見發音錯誤在於音節的強調，正確發音時需注意重音位置。
- “uncertainty” : 這個詞的發音較為複雜，許多非母語者可能會混淆相近的音節。
- “overcome”: 需要注意母音的發音，強調音節與非強調音節的區別。
通過雅思口語練習，學生可以專注於這些難點，利用shadow speak的方法，更好地掌握髮音和語調。在練習過程中，學生能夠更自信地表達自己，增強與他人交流的能力。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | you've done · have had · has shaken |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | is turned · being stuck · been done |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | Those who were · people who need · people who look |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
