第一篇：名校出名人辩论稿

下定义：名校：具有较高的社会地位和雄厚的教学资源的学校。名人：在社会中，对社会有一定贡献且备受景仰的人物。

名人出(造就)名校，名校出（培育）名人

学校名校 人名人

找角度：

价值型辩题

定标准：

名校有强大的师资团队出更容易名人 名校独有的校园文化更能出名人

名校的氛围更有力学术传播与交流，更能孕育名人

划战场：

我方：名校一些独有的师资力量，文化等出名人

对方：打毛泽东等等所在的不是名校，因名人而出名的例子

建逻辑：

因为有名校的独有东西才创就独有的名人【名校更重要】

升价值：

名校出名人的例子：

新一届中央领导成员的学历明显提高，毕业于名校的也不少，其中清华大学无可争议地排在第一名,共有三人曾在这所一流名校中学习生活过。北京大学、复旦大学、哈尔滨军事工程学院、吉林大学分别出了两个中央领导。

1、清化大学3人

胡锦涛 清华大学水利工程系河川枢纽电站专业毕业 吴邦国 清华大学无线电电子学系电真空器件专业毕业

习近平清华大学人文社会学院马克思主义理论与思想政治教育专业毕业

2、北京大学2人

李克强 北京大学经济学院经济学专业毕业

*** 北京大学历史系世界史专业本科学习

3、复旦大学2人

李源潮 复旦大学数学系数学专业学习

王沪宁 复旦大学国际政治系国际政治专业毕业

4、哈尔滨军事工程学院2人

徐才厚 哈尔滨军事工程学院电子工程系毕业

俞正声 哈尔滨军事工程学院导弹工程系弹道式导弹自动控制专业毕业

5、吉林大学

刘延东 吉林大学行政学院政治学理论专业毕业

王 刚 吉林大学哲学系哲学专业

很适合陈辞：

人办名校，名校育名人，中国近现代高等教育，以名人因名校为基建起，人因校存，一所所名校即是一座座矗立千年的丰碑，铭记着中华文明转型时期教育家们的种种开创性探索。

“人”与“校”相融为一个整体，既见人又见校；体现了教育思想与教育实践的统一，是高等教育个性与共性的结合。人是校文化的继承者，名人的独有文化而出独有人才。优秀的师资力量跟是让这些继承者愈加优秀。

就是通常人们所说的特点、特色——这些才是创新的结晶。如果高校“千校一面”，那有什么创新性可言呢?当然，“名校”的特色并非一朝一夕所能形成，而是在岁月沧桑的历程中由教育家们、教职工们和莘莘学子共同创造的。教育家中最有创造性的人物就是我们所说的“名人”。

第三篇：顺境出人才-辩论素材

好风凭借力，助我上青云——顺境出人才

导入（一辩）：

老师（评委）好、同学们好——这虽然是客套话，但也是场面话，必须要讲Di„„ 环境与成才有着密切的关系，这是无庸置疑的。没有起码的环境条件，根本不可能出人才。这是唯物主义的观点。看不到这点，就违背了唯物主义。

良好的环境，即所谓“顺境”，有着成才所需要的各种条件，有利于一个人的进步和成长，利于造就人才。反之，恶劣的环境，即所谓“逆境”，处处限制乃至扼杀人们在学习与事业上的努力，就不利于一个人的进步和成长，有时甚至可以把人毁灭。

生处顺境，会让人的成长有更多有利资源，会让你有更好的选择，更好的路途，更好的去处，更能让成长缩短周期，少走弯路。顺境不仅能为人才成长插上一双腾飞的翅膀，还能起到锦上添花的效果。

这样的事例不胜枚举——古有“孟母三迁”，为孟子寻求更好的学习环境，从而造就孟子的学富五车。有“一门父子三词客”，苏轼、苏辙成才得益于良好的物质和文化环境。今有哈佛女孩刘亦婷、凤凰卫视主持人曾子墨，成才都得益于良好的家庭环境。

如果说这些都只是个案，那我们也可以看看当年的文化大革命，十年浩劫，动荡不安，民不聊生；而改革开放三十年来，国泰民安，欣欣向荣，人才辈出。我们也可看看当今的教育，各所学校不遗余力的谋求更好的办学条件，创造更好的学习氛围，目的就是为了给学生一个学习上的顺境，从而培育更多更优秀的人才。

古罗马哲学家塞涅卡说：“一帆风顺固然令人羡慕，但逆水行舟则更令人钦佩。”羡慕，说明在他看来，顺境优于逆境；钦佩，则说明逆境出人才之不易，也即顺境比逆境更能出人才。

所以，我方的观点是：顺境比逆境更容易出人才。

可以运用的论据（二辩、三辩）：

古代封建社会制度（逆境）扼杀着学习欲望。从人类经历的五种社会形态看，封建制度和神权统治最不利于人才成长，对人才摧残最严重。在欧洲中世纪，军队人事制度以封建门第为核心，军官身份是少数贵族的世袭特权，这就堵塞了大量平民及其子弟成为军官并展现和发挥其军事才能的渠道。我国隋唐后实行．的科举制，实际上是限制人们发挥才能的一个圈套，广大劳动者因生活所迫失去了学习的机会，根本不可能参加科举走人仕途。明清时期以八股文取士，应考者只能依葫芦画瓢，替古人立言，不得有独立之思想，科举制成为束缚人们成才的一道枷锁。这种制度性逆境不知埋没了多少人才。（但是这个例子轻易不要用！）

个别逆境成才事例的表面现象，都是社会为了教育人在困难的环境中不要丧失追求理想的信心而所做的事例——即使是在顺境中，一个有着远大理想并且为之不懈奋斗得人也会成才——比身处逆境更容易成才！不要把结论作为你的依据。（注意，这个论据也轻易不要用——这是一个十分矛盾的论据！）

困难（困难造就人才，人生道路上不可能没有困难——逆境出人才常用论据）不是真正意义上的逆境（请运用唯物辩证法矛盾的观点分析），食不裹腹、衣不遮体才是最典型的逆境呀！某些人辩论的时候特别偏爱逆境，但是人的本性是避难趋易，这如何能自圆其说呢？从种种方面来统计（据有关报纸统计，世界上顺境出的人才占百分之六十，而逆境出的人才只占百分之四十），逆境出人才的机率远远低于顺境出人才，今天，邓小平同志为我们创造

了这样好的顺境，据有关报纸统计，世界上顺境出的人才占百分之六十，而逆境出的人才只占百分之四十，使得人才辈出，不正说明了顺境更容易出人才吗？

客观现实表明还是顺境出人才，不然为什么党和政府要努力为我国青少年创造好的学习环境？为什么父母老师还要竭尽全力为我们创造好的学习氛围？为什么不本着逆境出人才的原则让我们自己去奋斗呢？逆境出人才只是一种激励人的理想观点，而非现实生活中随处可见的客观现实——鼓舞人心固然重要，但是它不能超越客观现实。

一个人在有主动选择权的情况下，主动放弃有利条件而选择不利条件，显然这和人类的基本行为规律是违背的。人都是趋利避害的，都是寻求更好的外部环境和条件的，现在对于一个各方面都一样的人，自然是顺境更有利于成长。好比两辆汽车性能完全一样，当然是公路上跑的比小路上快。

小注：以上论据只可做参考，因为你永远都不知道对方的二辩、三辩会说啥。

顺境出人才的具体事例（仅供我方二辩、三辩与与反方二辩、三辩互掐时引用）：

1、美国爱迪生12岁的时候，因为喜欢“鼓捣”科学小把戏，被校长误认为贪玩而开除学校。这使爱迪生幼小的心灵受到了很大的打击。然而，她的母亲最了解自己的儿子的兴趣，她不认为儿子的兴许是不务正业。他为儿子创立了良好的条件，给爱迪生开辟了实验室，支持孩子的小科学实验，从而使爱迪生的发明智力得到了充分的发展，终于发明了白执电灯泡，电报机，留声机等，并发现了热电子发射现象。

2、阿姆斯特朗是第一位登陆月球的第一人。小时候，他是一个善于幻想的孩子，但他的母亲从来不打击他的积极性，一次，他的妈妈在厨房洗碗，他在后院蹦蹦跳跳的玩耍，母亲问他：“你在干吗？”他说：“我要跳到月球上去。”他的妈妈听后没有向其他孩子的家长那样泼孩子冷水，也没有骂他，或者说：“不要淘气，快停下来。”之类的话。而是说：“好！不要忘记回来哦！”在这样的轻松的环境下，他终于登陆了月球。可见好的引导方式更有利于他们发展。

3、成长和出人才的本质是一样的，顺境和逆境也都是一个生命历程，最重要的是人是否勤奋，是否对学习有兴趣。我国古代诗人杜牧就是一个实例。杜牧，出生在一个豪门世家，他从小便受到了良好的教育，在年轻的时候，事业上便有了很大的成就。他与李商隐被后人称作“小李杜”。还有文天祥、周恩来、鲁迅等人，这不是顺境也能出人才的最好证明吗？

4、轰动一时的张海迪，可以说他的成功筑足于逆境中，但是，我们站在顺境的角度来看，没有同志们的帮助鼓励，她有勇气活下来吗？如果没有组织上的关怀，照顾，她能战胜病魔吗？如果没有党的哺育指导，她又能做出如此辉煌的成就吗？

5、要说那些在逆境中成长成才的伟人，实际上从另一个角度去观察，能发现，其实人们往往忽略了顺境，而是注重那个人比其它人多付出的辛酸。司马迁还是汉朝的一个史官，他拥有察看管理汉朝皇家书馆的权利，试问如果他没有那样的环境，它怎样写出真实反映历史的《史记》，凭空捏造？曹雪芹，祖父曾是江浙织造，曾经家财万贯、阅书千卷。所以才可以在书中营造出贾府那豪华奢侈的场面。

6、从前那么遥远，我们来说说眼前的事例。越来越多人加入了追星族，那么，影星章子怡大家一定不陌生，她从小喜爱唱歌、演戏，第一次歌唱就得奖，第一次舞蹈就出名，这样的一帆风顺还有人能否认吗？事实证明她的成功中多数是顺境而非逆境。

7、在哈佛留学的顺境中获得成功又在文革的逆境中饱尝辛酸的立信之父潘序伦老先生正是深谙此道才创立立信。（立信，即上海立信会计学院——Shanghai Lixin University of

Commerce(SLUC)，其前身为立信会计专科学校，“中国现代会计之父”、教育家潘序伦于1928年创立。）

8、哈佛女孩刘亦婷——介个太有名了，她的母亲和继父不是还出了本书么，教给全天下父母，怎么给自己孩子制造顺境。

9、李泽楷童鞋——香港第一巨富李嘉诚次子，1989年从美国回香港和黄任职，仅十年时间，便在事业上创造了辉煌，成为世人瞩目，有着“小超人”美名的香港第二大富商。李嘉诚为了培养他没少花功夫，李泽楷自由就是在超一流的优越环境中成长的。

10、海伦·凯勒，之所以举这个例子，绝对不是因为我是叛徒，海伦在一开始因为失聪失明而做出种种令人痛心疾首之事——她甚至伤害过自己的亲妹妹，温柔的沙利文老师（专业的盲聋儿童辅导老师）予以她耐心的教诲并且联合海伦的家人全力为海伦提供良好的学习生活环境，才慢慢改变了海伦的暴虐性格，并且热爱学习（如果一直任由海伦在所谓“逆境”下成长„„）

11、弘一法师李叔同，中国话剧的开拓者之一，在音乐、书法、绘画和戏剧方面，都颇有造诣。从日本留学归国后，担任过教师、编辑之职，后剃度为僧，法名演音，号弘一。父李筱楼（字小楼），道光甲辰(1884)进士，官吏部尚书，曾经业盐商，后从事银行业。母亲姓王，为李筱楼侧室，能诗文。李叔同 5岁丧父，在母亲的扶养下成长。1901年入南洋公学，受业蔡元培。1905年东渡日本留学，在东京美术学校攻油画，同时学习音乐——良好的家庭教育造就了一代风流名士。

12、杜牧，出生在一个豪门世家，他从小便受到了良好的教育，在年轻的时候，事业上便有了很大的成就。他与李商隐被后人称作“小李杜”。

13、苏轼（苏辙和苏小妹亦可），宋之大文豪，满腹经纶，诗词书画，样样精通，堪称时之第一大才子，其父就是同为唐宋八大家之一的苏洵，位居庙堂要津。典型的顺境成才者。

14、宋徽宗（李后主也可以），精于书画，造诣甚高，独创瘦金体，享誉千年，令人五体投地。问其家境，堂堂天子家。（这个例子有点矛盾，因为很多人认为这俩人是昏君，不算人才，可是我认为其艺术造诣确实彪炳千古，而这与二人身为帝家子有很深的关系——他们要不是生在皇家，连这点造诣都没有）。

15、华盛顿（克林顿，艾森豪威尔、布什父子），可以称之为“美国总统系列”，家里都老鼻子有钱，生活优越。

16、比尔·盖茨，这是一个常常拿来论证“逆境出人才”的人物，看看，比尔没念玩书就去做生意还赚了N多money惹了多大的事儿啊，但是事实上，比尔·盖茨自幼接受了良好的家庭教育，大学虽未毕业，但是在哈佛的时候，盖茨为第一台微型计算机–MITS Altair开发了BASIC编程语言的一个版本，另外，退学研究计算机编程，盖茨是得到家庭的支持的——没有阻力，没有阻力，没有阻力。

17、阿基米德，他出生于贵族，与叙拉古的赫农王（King Hieron）有亲戚关系，家庭十分富有。阿基米德的父亲是天文学家兼数学家，学识渊博，为人谦逊。阿基米德受家庭的影响，从小就对数学、天文学特别是古希腊的几何学产生了浓厚的兴趣。当他刚满十一岁时，借助与王室的关系，被送到埃及的亚历山大里亚城去学习（亚历山大位于尼罗河口，是当时文化贸易的中心之一）。这里有雄伟的博物馆、图书馆，而且人才荟萃，被世人誉为“智慧之都”。阿基米德在这里学习和生活了许多年，曾跟很多学者密切交往。他兼收并蓄了东方和古希腊的优秀文化遗产，在其后的科学生涯中作出了重大的贡献。

总结陈词（四辩）：

首先（这一点非常重要）——谢谢主席（评委）以及各位同学的精彩发言，下面由我来做一下总结陈词：

对方本场一直在把英雄（社会上许许多多著名的人物也可以列入“英雄”之列）等同于人才（这是很多持有“逆境出人才”观点的人都会有的），而在我方看来，这个出发点就是错误的。难道你能说那些在自身岗位上默默无闻、敬职敬业的人就都不是人才了吗？其次，今天我们双方讨论的辩题是顺、逆境哪个更容易造就人才，而刚刚对方辩友所举事例中人无一不是在饱经风霜之后才有所作为的，那么我想请问饱经风霜雨雪还能叫容易吗？——（原谅我，找素材的时候，我实在是不知道论题是：顺境出人才，还是顺境容易出人才）。

此外，我方认为良好的境遇将为人成材提高更多、更好的机遇。倘若按照对方的观点，文化大革命百业废止算是逆境吧，三年自然灾害万物凋敝算是逆境吧？为什么在那期间没有人才大量涌现，为什么在那期间没有祖国腾飞震惊世界？而当我们改革开放的总设计师邓小平同志打开国门，为人才的发展提供了更为顺利的条件，立刻就有了人才辈出，民族振兴，祖国富强？深圳渔村的奇迹，浦西港口的繁华，顺境给了人才表演的舞台，让更多的有志之士为民族的崛起而奋斗，难道对方连这么浅显的道理都不懂么？

让我们再环顾周遭，一个不争的事实是，身处暴力家庭中的儿童，其自卑心理的产生率是60%，而正常家庭中这个比例还不到10%，对方辩友认为逆境有利于激发人的潜能。那么请问，当我们看到处于战乱和饥荒中的灾民，是否就应该拍手称快，大呼“这样的环境才能造就人才”？当看到生活于顺境之人，又是否会刻意为其制造坎坷？不，当然不会！相反的，我们应当伸出援手帮助有身处困境的人，因为我们的帮助会使他们转逆为顺，从而有了成长的条件，有了成材的动力。

鲲鹏驭风扶摇直上，佛祖凭势瞬间菩提。最后，我愿用汪国真先生的一句名言来再次宣告我方立场：“逆境是用来磨练意志，顺境才是用来发展事业。”但是前者后果未知，后者才能真正造就人才。

国总统奥巴马2009年9月8日开学演讲 英文全文

For Immediate Release September 8, 2009

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

IN A NATIONAL ADDRESS TO AMERICA'S SCHOOLCHILDREN

Wakefield High School Arlington, Virginia

THE PRESIDENT:

Hello, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, everybody.All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat.How is everybody doing today?(Applause.)How about Tim Spicer?(Applause.)I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade.And I am just so glad that all could join us today.And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host.Give yourselves a big round of applause.(Applause.)

大家好！谢谢你们。谢谢你们。谢谢你们大家。好，大家请就坐。你们今天都好吗？（掌声）蒂姆•斯派塞（Tim Spicer）好吗？（掌声）我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。美国各地从小学预备班到中学12年级的学生正在收听收看。我很高兴大家今天都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请为你们自己热烈鼓掌。（掌声）

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school.And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous.I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now--(applause)--with just one more year to go.And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.我知道，今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天，心里可能有点紧张，这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——（掌声）——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点，今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。

I know that feeling.When I was young, my family lived overseas.I lived in Indonesia for a few years.And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.我了解这种感觉。我小时候，我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校，但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。因此，她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上班，所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。

Now, as you might imagine, I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early.And a lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table.But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she’d say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”(Laughter.)

你们可以想见，我不太情愿那么早起床。有很多次，我趴在餐桌上就睡着了。但每当我抱怨的时候，我妈妈都会那样地看我一眼，然后说：“小子，这对我也并不轻松。（笑声）

”

So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school.But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you.I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.我知道你们有些人还在适应开学后的生活。但我今天来到这里是因为有重要的事情要和你们说。我来这里是要和你们谈谈你们的教育问题，以及在这个新学年对你们所有人的期望。

Now, I’ve given a lot of speeches about education.And I’ve talked about responsibility a lot.我做过很多次有关教育问题的演讲。我多次谈到过责任问题。

I’ve talked about teachers’ responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.我谈到过教师激励学生并督促他们学习的责任。

I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.我谈到过家长的责任，要确保你们走正路，完成家庭作业，不要整天坐在电视前或玩Xbox游戏。

I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working, where students aren’t getting the opportunities that they deserve.我多次谈到过政府的责任，要制定高标准，支持教师和校长的工作，彻底改善不能为学生提供应有机会的、教育质量差的学校。

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world--and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.That’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.然而，即使我们拥有最敬业的教师，最尽力的家长和全世界最好的学校——如果你们大家不履行你们的责任，不到校上课，不专心听讲，不听家长、祖父祖母和其他大人的话，不付出取得成功所必须的勤奋努力，那么这一切都毫无用处，都无关紧要。这就是我今天讲话的重点：你们每个人对自己的教育应尽的责任。

I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.Every single one of you has something that you’re good at.Every single one of you has something to offer.And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is.That’s the opportunity an education can provide.我首先要讲讲你们对自己应尽的责任。你们每个人都有自己的长处。你们每个人都能做出自己的贡献。你们对自己应尽的责任是发现自己的能力所在。而教育能够提供这样的机会。

Maybe you could be a great writer--maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper--but you might not know it until you write that English paper--that English class paper that’s assigned to you.Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor--maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine--but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class.Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice--but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.你或许能成为一名出色的作家——甚至可能写书或在报纸上发表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文课的作文后才会发现自己的才华。你或许能成为一名创新者或发明家——甚至可能设计出新一代iPhone或研制出新型药物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成科学课的实验后才会发现自己的才华。你或许能成为一名市长或参议员或最高法院的大法官——但你可能要在参加学生会的工作或辩论队后才会发现自己的才华。

And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it.You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse

这些都没关系。世界上最成功的人士中有一些是遭遇失败最多的人。作者J•K•罗琳（J.K.Rowling）所写的系列小说《哈利•波特》（Harry Potter）第一部在获得出版之前被退稿12次。迈克尔•乔丹（Michael Jordan）曾被他的高中篮球队除名。在乔丹的篮球生涯中，他输过数百场比赛，有成千上万个球没有投中。但他曾说过：“在我的一生中，我失败了一次又一次、一次又一次。这就是我成功的原因。”

These people succeeded because they understood that you can’t let your failures define you--you have to let your failures teach you.You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time.So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.这些人士获得成功，因为他们懂得：你不能让失败来限制你，而必须让失败来开导你。你必须让失败向你展示下次如何以不同的方式去做这件事情。因此，如果你遇到麻烦，那并不表示你是麻烦的制造者，而意味着你需要更加努力去把它做对。如果你有一门课分数低，那不表示你比别人笨，而只表示你需要花更多的时间学习。

No one’s born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport.You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song.You’ve got to practice.The same principle applies to your schoolwork.You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right.You might have to read something a few times before you understand it.You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.没有一个人天生擅长做各种事情。你通过勤奋而变得擅长于各种事情。第一次从事新的体育项目时，你不可能是一位主力队员。第一次唱一首歌曲时，你不可能唱准每个音。你必须练习。同样的道理适用于你的学业。你可能要把一道数学题做几次才把它做对。你可能要把一些材料阅读几遍才能理解。在交出一篇优美的作文之前，你肯定需要打几遍草稿。

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.I do that every day.Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and that then allows you to learn something new.So find an adult that you trust--a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor--and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.不要害怕提问。不要在需要帮助时害怕请求别人帮助。我天天请求别人的帮助。请求帮助不是软弱的表现，它是力量的标志，因为它表明你有勇气承认自己对某些事情不懂，这样做会使你学到新的东西。因此，请确定一位你信任的成年人，例如家长、祖父母或老师、教练或辅导员，请他们帮助你遵循既定计划实现你的目标。

And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don’t ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.即使当你苦苦挣扎、灰心丧气、感到其他人对你不抱希望时，也不要对你自己丧失信心，因为当你自暴自弃时，你也抛弃了自己的国家。

The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough.It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.书写美国历史的不是在困难时刻退缩的人，而是坚持不懈、加倍努力的人，他们对国家的爱促使他们全力以赴。

It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation.Young people.Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war;who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon.Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.书写美国历史的是250年前坐在你们的位置上的学生，他们后来进行了独立战争并创建了这个国家。还有75年前坐在你们的位置上的年轻人和学生，他们走出了大萧条并打赢了一场世界大战；他们为民权而奋斗并把宇航员送上了月球。至于20年前坐在你们的位置上的学生，他们创办了谷歌（Google）、叽喳网（Twitter）和脸谱网（Facebook），改变了我们交流沟通的方式。

So today, I want to ask all of you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country? 而今天，我要问问你们大家，你们将做出什么贡献？你们将解决什么问题？你们将有什么发现？20年、50年或100年后来到这里讲话的总统将会怎样评价你们大家为这个国家所做的一切？

Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions.I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn.But you’ve got to do your part, too.So I expect all of you to get serious this year.I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do.I expect great things from each of you.So don’t let us down.Don’t let your family down or your country down.Most of all, don’t let yourself down.Make us all proud.你们的家人、你们的老师和我正在竭尽全力保证你们接受必要的教育，以便回答上述问题。我正在努力工作，以便你们的教室得到修缮，你们能够得到学习所需的课本、设备和电脑。但你们也必须尽自己的努力。因此，我希望你们大家从今年起认真对待这个问题。我希望你们尽最大努力做好每一件事。我希望你们每个人都有出色的表现。不要让我们失望。不要让你们的家人或你们的国家失望。而最重要的是，不要辜负你们自己，而要让我们都能[为你们]感到骄傲。

Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.God bless America.Thank you.(Applause.)非常感谢你们大家。愿主保佑你们。愿主保佑美国。谢谢你们。（掌声）

It is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at Yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary.I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School.And it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made.What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that I received.It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since.I began working with New Haven legal services representing children.And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center.I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children’s Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated.Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable.Now, looking back, there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken.I didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and then I’ll go to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I’ll go to Arkansas.I didn’t think like that.I was taking each day at a time.But, I’ve been very fortunate because I’ve always had an idea in my mind about what I thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose.A set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in.A passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light.Because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential.But you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, but standing alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have those concerns.When I was thinking about running for the United States Senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one I never could have dreamed that I would have been making when I was here on campus-I visited a school in New York City and I met a young woman, who was a star athlete.I was there because of Billy Jean King promoting an HBO special about women in sports called “Dare to compete.” It was about Title IX and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports.And although I played not very well at intramural sports, I have always been a strong supporter of women in sports.And I was introduced by this young woman, and as I went to shake her hand she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying I should or shouldn’t run for the Senate.And I was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she held onto my hand and she said, “Dare to compete, Mrs.Clinton.Dare to compete.”

I took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for everyone to see and you don’t know what is going to happen from one day to the next.And yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, being involved in classes or professions or just life, where we know we are competing with others.I took her advice and I did compete because I chose to do so.And the biggest choices that you’ll face in your life will be yours alone to make.I’m sure you’ll receive good advice.You’re got a great education to go back and reflect about what is right for you, but you eventually will have to choose and I hope that you will dare to compete.And by that I don’t mean the kind of cutthroat competition that is too often characterized by what is driving America today.I mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take this risk, you can take this next step.And it doesn’t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed.In fact, you won’t.There are setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments.You will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you.But if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others.You can get back up, you can keep going.But it is also important, as I have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit.I think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own.I chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything I’ve ever done, determined my course.You compare my or your circumstances with those of the majority of people who’ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born knowing too well what their futures will be.They lack the freedom to choose their life’s path.They’re imprisoned by circumstances of poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.So, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even more difficult, dare to care.Dare to care about people who need our help to succeed and fulfill their own lives.There are so many out there and sometimes all it takes is the simplest of gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already.I know that the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.You have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was the right thing to do and because it gave something back to you.You have dared to care.Well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry.Dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources.Dare to care about protecting our environment.Dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance.Dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail.The seven million people who suffer from HIV/AIDS.And thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with HIV/AIDS, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.And I’ll also add, dare enough to care about our political process.You know, as I go and speak with students I’m impressed so much, not only in formal settings, on campuses, but with my daughter and her friends, about how much you care, about how willing you are to volunteer and serve.You may have missed the last wave of the dot.com revolution, but you’ve understood that the dot.community revolution is there for you every single day.And you’ve been willing to be part of remarking lives in our community.And yet, there is a real resistance, a turning away from the political process.I hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy.Your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world.And so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics.Dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics.Some have called you the generation of choice.You’ve been raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles.You’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.You’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible.And I think as I look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.The social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down.Community service and religious involvement being up.But if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the numbers tell a far more troubling tale.Many of you I know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government either can’t understand or won’t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.Well, I admit there is enough truth in that critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated.But at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national peril.Political conditions maximize the conditions for inpidual opportunity and responsibility as well as community.Americorps and the Peace Corps exist because of political decisions.Our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices.Our ability to cure disease or log onto the Internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments.Ethnic cleansing in Kosovo ended because of political leadership.Your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems.Many used GI Bills or government loans, as I did, to attend college.Now, I could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim.And, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate.It is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now.There’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as inpiduals and communities and even nations.It is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about;rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.But as many have said before and as Vaclav Havel has said to memorably, “It cannot suffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions.It is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this Earth and of our deeds.” And I think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our God-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.During my campaign, when times were tough and days were long I used to think about the example of Harriet Tubman, a heroic New Yorker, a 19th century Moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom.She would say to those who she gathered up in the South where she kept going back year after year from the safety of Auburn, New York, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going.If they heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going.If they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom.Well, those aren’t the risks we face.It is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.Thirty-two years ago, I spoke at my own graduation from Wellesley, where I did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead to embrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.For after all, our fate is to be free.To choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.Just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life.And as I think about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, I have a sense of what their feeling.Their hearts are leaping with joy, but it’s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own American dreams.Well, I applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as I applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.And I leave these graduates with the same message I hope to leave with my graduate.Dare to compete.Dare to care.Dare to dream.Dare to love.Practice the art of making possible.And no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.Thank you and God bless you all.
