The President of the United States The
2
President of the United States Thank you very much.
3
Thank you so much.
4
Well, I am so grateful to be a recipient of this award and to be keeping such extraordinary company.
5
I, first of all, want to thank all of you who were involved in making this possible.
6
But the main thing
7
that I want to do here is to just say how I'm inspired by the young people who are represented here, because I think that's the purpose, ultimately, of this foundation.
8
And I want to tell just a brief story, because Archbishop Tutu is here,
9
one of my heroes, and let you know where I was when I was about your age.
10
I'm really dating myself now, although I'm also dating the Archbishop,
11
because back in 1979, I was a freshman in college,
12
at Occidental College in California you.
13
And I had had a somewhat rocky youth and teenage years.
14
My father wasn't at home.
15
I was growing up partly with my grandparents in high school.
16
I had gotten into trouble occasionally.
17
It was what my mother called a good -time Charlie, meaning I wasn't really serious in terms of my studies, in terms of my work.
18
Had some awareness of the world around me had some sense of injustice and unfairness, but it wasn't finely honed.
19
It wasn't well -developed.
20
And I remember in 1979, arriving as a freshman and doing what freshmen do,
21
trying to figure out what courses are and trying to change your study habits
22
and trying to identify that food in the cafeteria, what it is.
23
And we were visited on campus by a couple of gentlemen
24
from South Africa who were representatives of the ANC in 1979 -1980.
25
And they spoke about their efforts to overcome apartheid.
26
And for about an hour,
27
myself and a group of students listened to these young men who were not much older than we were,
28
describe the extraordinary struggles they were going through, the sacrifices that were being made,
29
people who were enduring jail and torture and beatings because they had a sense that somehow,
30
some way, justice would prevail.
31
And that brief meeting, I think, in some ways changed my life, because what it told me,
32
first of all, was that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they're given an opportunity.
33
We sometimes think that our leaders have to be, have fancy degrees or well -educated or some public office somewhere.
34
These young men had none of those things.
35
But what they possessed was an anger over injustice that they were able to channel in a constructive, positive way.
36
And I thought to myself that they gave me some sense of the direction that my life might go.
37
And so I became active in the anti -apartheid movement on campuses.
38
And I'm not sure we were particularly effective.
39
As I recall, Occidental College continued to refuse to divest, despite the various protests that we organized as students.
40
I transferred to Columbia, and there was similar resistance on Columbia's campus.
41
But over time, I like to think that I was part of
42
that mosaic that applied pressure and ultimately helped those in South Africa achieve the extraordinary liberation
43
that I would witness almost 10 years later as a law student.
44
And I remember the image of Nelson Mandela walking out of prison
45
and understanding that that a seminal moment in history had occurred and that Mandela's long march towards freedom was not his alone,
46
but was part of thousands of footsteps, of millions of footsteps of people all around the world.
47
And I trace back me getting involved in politics to that moment, because I, as a consequence of that organizing on a college campus,
48
I became a community organizer as a consequence of a community organizer, I...
49
After going back to law school, became a civil rights attorney.
50
As a consequence of being a civil rights attorney, I entered the state legislature,
51
and I now stand before you as a United States senator and as a candidate for president.
52
And so the primary message I guess I have in receiving this award is that all of you
53
represent enormous potential and enormous possibility for change, because we all know that injustice still exists.
54
It exists here in the United States, in every poor neighborhood, in every inner city, in every rural community all across the country.
55
There is quiet desperation.
56
Young people's lives are filled with sadness and desperation and anarchy and chaos.
57
And obviously, all around the world,
58
we see those same symptoms of hopelessness made manifest in places like Darfur,
59
in places like the Middle East,
60
in places that too often are forgotten about and not written about until they flare up in tragedy.
61
So I hope
62
that all of you who are on the brink of doing extraordinary things decide to channel
63
that talent and that energy and that imagination to figuring out how do you move the process along for a better history.
64
How do you put your shoulder against the wheel and move that boulder up the hill?
65
And I'm absolutely confident that if all of you take up that challenge, the world is waiting for you, ready to be changed.
66
Because I think we live in this moment in history right now where the hunger for change, the hunger for something new,
67
the desire to break out of the ordinary, the self -interested, the petty, the trivial, is everywhere.
68
And they're waiting for you.
69
And so I hope that as you see the recipients of this award,
70
you recognize that it's actually more of a tool to give you a little spark
71
and drive you in the wonderful directions that I hope your lives take in the years to come.
72
So thank you very much.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
