第一篇：米歇尔北大演讲今天上午，美国第一夫人米歇尔造访北京大学，并接受北大校长赠书。之后，米歇尔在北大斯坦福中心以“读万卷书不如行万里路”为开场进行了约20分钟的演讲。在米歇尔的演讲中，“留学”成为关键词。她化用中国古语“读万卷书，不如行万里路”，并结合自身经历现身说法，希望让更多青年人拥有留学的机会。MRS.OBAMA:(Applause.)Thankyou.Well,ni-hao.(Laughter.)Itissuchapleasureandanhonortobeherewithallofyouatthisgreatuniversity,sothankyousomuchforhavingme.Now,beforeIgetstartedtoday,onbehalfofmyselfandmyhusband,IjustwanttosayafewverybriefwordsaboutMalaysiaAirlinesFlight370.Asmyhusbandhassaid,theUnitedStatesisofferingasmanyresourcesaspossibletoassistinthesearch.Andpleaseknowthatwearekeepingallofthefamiliesandlovedonesofthoseonthisflightinourthoughtsandprayersatthisverydifficulttime.Nowwiththat,IwanttostartbyrecognizingournewAmbassadortoChina,AmbassadorBaucus;PresidentWang;ChairmanZhu;VicePresidentLi;DirectorCueller;ProfessorOi,andtheStanfordCenter;PresidentSextonfromNewYorkUniversity,whichisanexcellentstudyabroadprograminShanghai;andJohnThornton,DirectoroftheGlobalLeadershipProgramatTsinghuaUniversity.Thankyouallforjoiningus.Butmostofall,Iwanttothankallofthestudentswhoareheretoday.AndIparticularlywanttothankEricSchaeferandZhuXuanhaoforthatextraordinaryEnglishandChineseintroduction.ThatwasapowerfulsymbolofeverythingthatIwanttotalkwithyouabouttoday.See,bylearningeachother’slanguages,andbyshowingsuchcuriosityandrespectforeachother’scultures,Mr.SchaferandMs.Zhuandallofyouarebuildingbridgesofunderstandingthatwillleadtosomuchmore.AndI’mheretodaybecauseIknowthatourfuturedependsonconnectionsliketheseamongyoungpeoplelikeyouacrosstheglobe.That’swhywhenmyhusbandandItravelabroad,wedon’tjustvisitpalacesandparliamentsandmeetwithheadsofstate.Wealsocometoschoolslikethisonetomeetwithstudentslikeyou,becausewebelievethatrelationshipsbetweennationsaren’tjustaboutrelationshipsbetweengovernmentsorleaders--they’reaboutrelationshipsbetweenpeople,particularlyyoungpeople.Soweviewstudyabroadprogramsnotjustasaneducationalopportunityforstudents,butalsoasavitalpartofAmerica’sforeignpolicy.Throughthewondersofmoderntechnology,ourworldismoreconne
