峰回路转-tightly
奥巴马演讲 白宫国会野餐上的讲话
Hello, everybody! (Applause.) Well, how’s the
food? (Cheers and applause.) We could not have a more
beautiful day for this annual picnic, and we are just thrilled
(兴奋的,激动的) that all of you had a chance to get over
(获得,得到). I know that folks were running a little bit late,
many of you because of votes. But, you know, the fact of the
matter is, is that we have had as tough a year and a half as
America has seen in a couple of generations, and that's
meant that Congress has had to do more on a whole range of
issues.
Right now obviously we’re looking at what’s happening in
the Gulf 1 with deep concern, and that's going to put more
additional pressure on Congress to work with states and the
administration to help deal with this tragedy and this crisis.
It is important, though, given the incredible sacrifices that so
many of you have made and frankly 2 , from my perspective
(远景,观点) , just as important are the sacrifices that your
family makes -- you being away, you missing family events --
that every once in a while(偶尔,时常) we have an
opportunity to get together and for me to say thank you to
you for your incredible devotion to the country, regardless of
1
party, and for both Michelle and I to say to your families how
grateful we are for your service, and hopefully to have a little
bit of time for fun and for fellowship and to remind ourselves
of what’s so important in life.
So I’m thrilled to see all the young people here who are
here today. And we hope that you have a wonderful time.
Band, you guys are great as always. (Applause.) Chefs, I
think people are all voting with their mouths around
here. (Applause.) I suspect there’s not going to be a lot of
leftovers 3 (遗留,剩余物) .
And on behalf of Michelle and myself, we hope that you
enjoy the evening, and we are grateful to all of you for being
here.
So thank you very much. (Applause.)
END 7:29 P.M. EDT
