雅思阅读：奥巴马“康涅狄格校园枪击案”讲话全文

　　Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams. So our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost. Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for, as blessed as they are to have had their children home tonight, they know that their childrens innocence has been torn away from them too early, and there are no words that will ease their pain. As a country, we have been through this too many times, whether its an elementary school in Newtown or a shopping mall in Oregon or a temple in Wisconsin or a movie theatre in Aurora or a street corner in Chicago. These neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children, and we are going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics. This evening, Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do, which is hug our children a little tighter, and well tell them that we love them, and well remind each other how deeply we love one another . But there are families in Connecticut who cannot do that tonight, and they need all of us right now. In the hard days to come, that community needs us to be at our best as Americans, and I will do everything in my power as president to help, because while nothing can fill the space of a lost child or a loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need to remind them that were there for them, that we are praying for them, that the love they felt for those, they lost endures not just in their memories but also in ours.
