米歇尔奥巴马演讲

And I am so proud and so, so grateful to you all for everything that you've done. So let's give them a round of applause.
我是如此自豪,非常感谢你们所做的一切事情,所以让我们一起为他们鼓掌。
And finally, I want to recognize all of you who are here in this audience.
最后,我要感谢在座的各位,
We have our educators, our leaders, our young people who have been with us since we launched Reach Higher back in 2014.
他们中有的是教育家、领者和年轻人——我们在2014年发起Reach Higher倡议时就一直跟我们在一起的。
Now, when we first came up with this idea, we had one clear goal in mind: We wanted to make higher education cool.
现在,当我们初步有这个想法时,我们就有一个明确的目标:我们希望让高等教育变得出色。
We wanted to change the conversation around what it means and what it takes to be a success in this country.
我们希望改变这个国家对成功的定义。
Because let's be honest, if we're always shining the spotlight on professional athletes or recording artists or Hollywood celebrities,
因为坦诚地说,如果我们总是将镁光灯聚焦于职业运动员或唱片歌手或好莱坞明星,
if those are the only achievements we celebrate, then why would we ever think kids would see college as a priority?
如果我们只为这些成就欢呼庆祝,那我们凭什么认为孩子们会把上大学作为优先选项呢?
