感恩节是合家团聚的日子。美国总统奥巴马也在这天发表了自己任期的最后一个感恩节讲话。鉴于大选后美国出现一系列抗议行为,奥巴马在讲话中呼吁民众,在度过一个吵闹、热情、有时分裂的大选季后,应该无论有多少分歧,都记得“我们是一体,我们永远都是美国人”。
Weekly Address: Coming Together on Thanksgiving
The White House
November 24, 2016
Hi, everybody. On behalf of the Obama family – Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Grandma, Bo, and Sunny – I want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. Like so many of you, we’ll spend the day with friends and family, turkey and touchdowns. We’ll give thanks for each other, and for all that God has given us. And we’ll reflect on what truly binds us as Americans.
That’s never been more important. As a country, we’ve just emerged from a noisy, passionate, and sometimes divisive campaign season. After all, elections are often where we emphasize what sets us apart. We face off in a contest of “us” versus “them.” We focus on the candidate we support instead of some of the ideals we share.
But a few short weeks later, Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, we are still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves. We are communities that move forward together. We are neighbors who look out for one another, especially those among us with the least. We are always, simply, Americans.
