中级班第二课：奥巴马演讲2 No matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it.不论你的生活志向是什么，我敢肯定你必须上学读书才能实现它。 You want to be an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? 你想当建筑师、律师或军人吗? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. 你必须接受良好的教育，才能从事上述任何一种职业。 And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future.这并非只对你个人的人生和未来意义重大。 The future of America depends on you. 美国的未来取决于你们。 You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. 你们将需要利用你们通过自然科学和数学课程所学到的知识和解决问题的能力来治愈癌症、开发新的能源技术和保护我们的环境。 That’s why today I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them. 因此，在今天，我号召你们每一个人都为自己的教育定下一个目标——并在之后，尽自己的一切努力去实现它。 And you won’t succeed at everything the first time you try.并不是每件事，你都能在头一次尝试时获得成功。 Michael Jordan once said:"I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed." 迈克尔·乔丹说过：“我一生不停地失败、失败再失败，这就是我现在成功的原因。”
