【Michelle Obama】

The beautiful thing about being first lady is that I have the privilege of meeting folks from different backgrounds and hearing what's going on in their lives.Know that when our men and women in uniform are called to serve, their families serve right alongside them.We are trying to end the epidemic of childhood obesity in a generation.

作为第一夫人的美妙之处在于，我有幸结实来自不同背景的人，并了解他们生活中发生的事情。要知道，当我们身着制服的男男女女被召唤服役时，他们的家人就在他们身边服役。我们正在努力在一代人的时间内结束儿童肥胖的流行。

When the world is swirling around you and you’re faced with tough challenges, if your family is good, you’re good. If any family in this country struggles, then we cannot be fully content with our own families good fortune. Because that is not what we do in this country. That is not who we are.

当世界围绕着你旋转，你面临着严峻挑战时，如果你的家庭幸福，你就会感到很好。如果这个国家的任何一个家庭都在挣扎，那么我们就不能满足于自己家庭的好运。因为那不是我们在这个国家所做的。那不是我们。

【Michelle’s Brother】

Our house growing up was extremely modest. I remember our bedroom being formerly the living room that my parents had divided using paneling.

成长过程中，我们的房子非常简陋。我记得我们的卧室以前是我父母用镶板划分的客厅。

【Michelle Obama】

It basically carved the room out into two small rooms that were small enough for a twin bedroom and a desk. A special treat was that we could sleep out on the back porch when things got hot.

它基本上把房间分成了两个小房间，小到足以容纳一间双人卧室和一张桌子。一个特别的待遇是，当天气变热时，我们可以睡在后廊上。

【Michelle’s Mom】

As far as where we lived,  that just wasn't an issue. I was raised to have fun where we were with what we had. And it seemed like it was okay.

就我们居住的地方而言，这不是问题。我从小就在我们拥有的地方玩得开心。看起来还不错。

【Michelle’s Brother】

Neither one of our parents went to college. But with a lot of love, a lot of caring, we were afforded an opportunity to go to college. 

我们的父母都没有上过大学。但给了我们很多爱和关心，我们得到了上大学的机会。

【Michelle’s Mom】

We didn't say, you should be a lawyer or you should be a schoolteacher. It was, you should get an education.

我们没有说，你应该成为一名律师或教师。是的，你应该接受教育。

【Michelle’s Brother】

We had to take out student loans in order to pay for those.

我们不得不申请学生贷款，来支付这些学费。

【Michelle Obama】

I know now how much my father had to work and struggle because he had to take out loans to cover his portion of our tuition.

我现在知道了，我父亲不得不工作和多么的挣扎，因为他不得不申请贷款来支付我们的部分学费。

【Barack Obama】

Understood his responsibilities, that despite this hardship, despite his challenges, he was going to be there for his kids. Always, no matter what.

他明白自己的责任，尽管面临困难，尽管面临挑战，他还是会为孩子们提供支持。无论怎样，总是如此。

【Michelle’s Mom】

My husband did not feel like MS was a battle. He would bounce out of bed and almost sing his way out of the door to work on crutches. And that would sort of wake me up. And I'm sure it did the same thing for the kids.

我丈夫不觉得是一场战斗。他会从床上跳起来，几乎是一路唱歌拄着拐杖走出门去工作。这也会激励到我。我相信这对孩子们也有同样的作用。

【Michelle Obama】

We did a lot of laughing in our household and all of that happened in those few little rooms.

我们在家里充满了欢乐，所有这些都发生在那几个小房间里。

【Barack Obama】

I am Barack Obama, and this is my wife Michelle.

我是巴拉克·奥巴马，这是我的妻子米歇尔。

【Michelle Obama】

I'm his date. 

我是他的约会对象。

【Barack Obama】

I think every parent thinks that kids are fabulous. And remarkable. And special. And my kids are fabulous, and remarkable, and special. And the reason they are is because of Michelle. 

I always say that in our household, she's the conductor and I'm second fiddlel.  

我想每个父母都认为孩子们很棒。而且很了不起。而且很特别。我的孩子非常棒，非常了不起，非常特别。她们之所以如此，是因为米歇尔。我总是说，在我们家，她是指挥，我是副手。

【Michelle Obama】

You know, Barack always gives me so much credit for who our girls have become. But let me tell you, our girls wouldn't be who they are without a man in their life who loved him deeply.

你知道，对于我们的女儿们的成就，奥巴马总是给我如此多的赞誉。但让我告诉你，如果生活中没有一个深爱她们的男人，我们的女儿们就不会成为现在的样子 。

【Barack Obama】

What I love about my wife more than anything is she knows what's important. And she knows that the best, and most important legacy of anybody's life is making sure that your kids turn out all right. They have good values. They're kind, they're caring. And what's very gratifying to me is that I know that the girls at this point are going to be fine because they've got the best mom in the world.

我最爱我妻子的是她知道什么是重要的。她知道，任何人一生中最好、最重要的遗产就是确保你的孩子一切顺利。她们有很好的价值观。她们很善良，善解人意。让我非常欣慰的是，我知道孩子们会越来越好，因为她们有世界上最好的妈妈。
