Remarks by the First Lady at Number Seven School
Chengdu, China
March 25, 2014
Ni hao. It is truly a pleasure to be here at the Number Seven School. Thank
you so much for your warm welcome.
Now, before I get started, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to say that our
hearts go out to all those with loved ones on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As I said
this past weekend when I spoke at Peking University, we are very much keeping all of
them in our thoughts and our prayers at this tremendously difficult time.
So now, let me start by thanking your Principal, Principal Liu, and your classmate,
Ju Chao, for that wonderful introduction. Your English, Ju Chao, is excellent, and
you should be very proud. Thank you so much. (Applause.) And I want to thank
all of the students here today, both those of you here in person and those of you
joining remotely from across the region. I’m thrilled to be visiting your wonderful
school.
Now, in preparation for this visit, before I left the U.S. I visited the Yu Ying School.
It’s a public school near the White House in Washington, D.C., and all of the students
at this school study Chinese. And I met with the sixth-grade class, kids who are 11
and 12 years old. They had recently taken a trip here to China, and they were
bursting with excitement. They were eager to tell me about everything about what
they had seen.
But they admitted that before their trip, they had all kinds of misconceptions about
China. They thought they would see palaces and temples everywhere they went, but
instead they found massive cities filled with skyscrapers. They weren’t sure that
they’d like the food here in China, but they actually loved it, and they learned how to
use chopsticks. And in the end, one of the students told me –- and this is his quote
-- he said, “Coming home was really exciting, but was at the same time sad.”
Now, meeting these students reminded me that when we live so far away from
each other, it’s easy to develop all kinds of misconceptions and stereotypes. It’s
easy to focus on our differences –- how we speak different languages and eat
different foods and observe different traditions. But as I travel the world, and I meet
young people from so many countries, I’m always struck by how much more we have
in common. And that’s been particularly true during my visit here in China.
You see, the truth is that I grew up like many of you. My mom, my dad, my
brother and I, we lived in a tiny apartment in Chicago, which is one of the largest
cities in America. My father worked at the local water plant. And we didn’t have
much money, but our little home was bursting with love. Every evening, my family
would laugh and share stories over dinner. We’d play card games and have fun for
hours. And on summer nights, I remember, when our apartment got too hot, we’d
all sleep outside on our back porch.
Family meant everything to us, including our extended family. My grandparents
lived nearby, and my elderly great aunt and uncle lived in the apartment downstairs
from us. And when their health started to decline my parents stepped in, helping my
uncle shave and dress each morning, dashing downstairs in the middle of the night to
check on my aunt.
So in my family, like in so many of your families, we took care of each other.
And while we certainly weren’t rich, my parents had big dreams for me and my
brother. They had only a high school education themselves, but they were
determined to send us both to universities.
So they poured all of their love and all of their hope into us, and they worked hard.
They saved every penny. And I know that wasn’t easy for them, especially for my
father. You see, my father had a serious illness called multiple sclerosis. And as he
got sicker, it got harder for him to walk, and it took him longer to get dressed in the
morning.
But no matter how tired he felt, no matter how much pain he was in, my father
hardly ever missed a day of work, because he was determined to give me and my
brother a better life. And every day, like so many of you, I felt the weight of my
parents’ sacrifices on my shoulders. Every day, I wanted to make them proud.
So while most American kids attend public schools near their homes, when it was
time for me to attend high school, I took an exam and got into a special public high
school where I could get a better education. But the school was very far from my
home, so I had to get up early every morning and ride a bus for an hour, sometimes an
hour and a half if the weather was bad. And every afternoon, I’d ride that same bus
back home and then immediately start my homework, often studying late into the
night -- and sometimes I would wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning to study even
more.
And it wasn’t easy. But whenever I got tired or discouraged, I would just think
about how hard my parents were working for me. And I would remember something
my mother always told me –- she said: “A good education is something that no
one can take away from you.”
And when it was time for me to apply to university, I had many options, because in
America, there are many kinds of universities. There are four-year universities.
There are two-year community colleges which are less expensive. There are
universities where you take classes at night while working during the day. So you
don’t have to be a top student to attend a university. And even if your parents don’
t have much money or you live in a tiny town in a rural area, in America, you can still
attend university. And you can get scholarships and government loans to help pay
your tuition.
So I attended Princeton University for my undergraduate degree, and I went on
to Harvard University for my graduate degree in law. And with those degrees I was
able to become a lawyer at a large law firm, and then I worked as an executive at a
city hospital, and then I was the director of an organization that helped disadvantaged
young people.
And my story isn’t unusual in America. Some of our most famous athletes, like
LeBron James, and artists, like the singer Janelle Monae, came from struggling
families like mine, as do many business leaders – like Howard Schultz. He’s the
head of a company called Starbucks, which many of you may have heard of. When
Mr. Schultz was a boy his father lost his job, leaving their family destitute. But Mr.
Schultz worked hard. He got a scholarship to a university, and eventually built the
largest coffeehouse company in the world.
And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised by a single mother who
sometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy got
scholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor,
and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he became
President of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, Barack
Obama. (Applause.)
These stories are the stories of so many Americans, and of America itself.
Because in America, we believe that no matter where you live or how much money
your parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are, if you work hard and
believe in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed. We also believe that
everyone is equal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship as
we choose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agree with what
we believe.
Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy. And there have been
times in our history where we have fallen short. Many decades ago, there were
actually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me,
who are a minority in the United States. But over time, ordinary citizens decided
that those laws were unfair. So they held peaceful protests and marches. They
called on government officials to change those laws, and they voted to elect new
officials who shared their views.
And slowly but surely, America changed. We got rid of those unjust laws. And
today, just 50 years later, my husband and I are President and First Lady of the United
States. And that is really the story of America –- how over the course of our short
history, through so many trials and struggles, we have become more equal, more
inclusive, and more free.
And today in America, people of every race, religion and ethnicity live together
and work together to build a better life for their children and grandchildren. And in
the end, that deep yearning to leave something better for those who come after us, that
is something we all truly share. In fact, there’s a Chinese saying that I love that says,
“To achieve true happiness, help the next generation.”
And like so many of your parents, my parents sacrificed so much so that I could have
opportunities they never dreamed of. And today, as a mother myself, I want even
more opportunities for my own daughters. But of course, as I always tell my
daughters, with opportunities come obligations.
And that is true for all of you as well. You all have the opportunity to receive an
education from this wonderful school, and you all have an obligation to take the
fullest advantage of this opportunity. And I know that’s exactly what you all are
doing.
You’re winning prizes in math and science. Here, you are staging musical
performances around the world. You’re volunteering in your communities. And
many of you are working hard to get an education your parents never dreamed of.
So you all have so much to offer –- and that’s a good thing, because the world
needs your talent. The world needs your creativity and energy more than ever before.
Because we face big challenges that know no borders –- like improving the quality
of our air and water, ensuring that people have good jobs, stopping the spread of
disease. And soon, it will all fall to all of you to come together with people on every
continent and solve these problems together.
Now, fortunately, here at this wonderful school, you’re already well on your way.
For more than a decade, you’ve been building special relationships with a American
school in -- an American high school, and many of you will attend universities in
America or find other ways to reach out beyond your borders.
So in the years ahead, much like you and I are doing here today, you will be
creating bonds of friendship across the globe that will last for decades to come. And
over the past week, as I have seen both the ancient wonders and the modern
achievements of your fascinating country, and as I’ve met with extraordinary young
people like all of you, I am more confident than ever before in our shared future.
And I cannot wait to see everything that you will achieve here in China and around
the world.
Thank you again for hosting me and my family at this extraordinary school, and I
wish you all the best of luck in your journey ahead. Xie-Xie. (Applause.)

你好。非常高兴和荣幸来到第七中学??谢谢你们的热情欢迎。
篇二：奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲全文(英文)
奥巴马夫人米歇尔的演讲全文（英文）
Thank you so much, Elaine...we are so grateful for your family\\'s service and sacrifice...and we will always have your back.
Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country.
And everywhere I\\'ve gone, in the people I\\'ve met, and the stories I\\'ve heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit.
I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls.
I\\'ve seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay. ? I\\'ve seen it in people who become heroes at a moment\\'s notice, diving into harm\\'s way to save others...flying across the country to put out a fire...driving for hours to bail out 帮助摆脱困境 帮助a flooded town.
And I\\'ve seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families...in wounded warriors who tell me they\\'re not just going to walk again, they\\'re going to run, and they\\'re going to run marathons...in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, "...I\\'d give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do."
Every day, the people I meet inspire me...every day, they make me proud...every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation （on earth）.
Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege...but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we\\'d begun. While I believed deeply in my husband\\'s vision for this country...and I was certain
he would make an extraordinary President...like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance.
How would we keep them grounded脚踏实地 under the glare of the national spotlight?
How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they\\'d ever known?
Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys...Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma\\'s house...and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn\\'t stay awake for both.
And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls...I deeply loved the man I had built that life with...and I didn\\'t want that to change if he became President. I loved Barack just the way he was.
You see, even though back then Barack was a Senator and a presidential candidate...to me, he was still the guy who\\'d picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door...he was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he\\'d found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.
But when Barack started telling me about his family – that\\'s when I knew I had found a kindred相似的 spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like mine.
You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn\\'t have much in the way
of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable – their unconditional love, their unflinching不畏缩的 sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves.
My father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis[skl??'r??s?s; skl?-] 多发性硬化症 when my brother and I were young. And even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain...I knew there were plenty of mornings when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of bed. But every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker助步器, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his uniform. And when he returned home after a long day\\'s work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him...watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our arms.
But despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work...he and my mom were determined to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream of.
And when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants.
But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself.
And every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell short.
He was so proud to be sending his kids to college...and he made sure we never missed
a registration deadline because his check was late.
You see, for my dad, that\\'s what it meant to be a man.
Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in life – being able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family.
And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he\\'d grown up all the way across the country, he\\'d been brought up just like me.
Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay the bills, and by grandparents who stepped in when she needed help.
Barack\\'s grandmother started out as a secretary at a community bank...and she moved quickly up the ranks...but like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling. ? And for years, men no more qualified than she was – men she had actually trained – were promoted up the ladder ahead of her, earning more and more money while Barack\\'s family continued to scrape by勉强通过，勉强维持，勉强度日.
But day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus...arriving at work before anyone else...giving her best without complaint or regret.
And she would often tell Barack, "So long as you kids do well, Bar, that\\'s all that really matters."
Like so many American families, our families weren\\'t asking for much.
They didn\\'t begrudge嫉妒 anyone else\\'s success or care that others had much more than they did...in fact, they admired it.
They simply believed in that fundamental American promise that, even if you don\\'t start out with much, if you work hard and do what you\\'re supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids
and grandkids.
That\\'s how they raised us...that\\'s what we learned from their example.
We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make...that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.
We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters...that you don\\'t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules...and success doesn\\'t count unless you earn it fair and square.
We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors看门人，清洁工 who kept our school clean...and we were taught to value everyone\\'s contribution and treat everyone with respect.
Those are the values Barack and I – and so many of you – are trying to pass on to our own children.
That\\'s who we are.
And standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn\\'t want any of that to change if Barack became President.
Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn\\'t change who you are – it reveals who you are.
You see, I\\'ve gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks like.

米歇尔北大演讲稿英文
ni-hao. it is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university...thank you so much for having me.
and before i get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, i just want to say a few very brief words about malaysian airlines flight 370.
as my husband has said, the united states is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search.
and please know that we are keeping all the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
and with that, i want to start by recognizing our new ambassador to china, ambassador baucus...president wang...chairman zhu...vice president li...director cueller, professor oi and the stanford center...president sexton from new york university which has an excellent study abroad program in shanghai... and john thornton, director of the global leadership program at tsinghua university.. .thank you all so much for joining us.
and most of all, i want to thank all of the students for being here today. ..and i particularly want to thank eric schafer and zhu xuanhao for that extraordinary english and chinese introduction. that was such a powerful symbol of everything i want to talk with you about today.
you see, by learning each others languages - and by showing such curiosity and respect for each others cultures - mr. schafer and ms. zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that lead to so much more.
and im here today because i know that our future depends on connections like these among oeoole like you across the globe.
because we believe that relationships between nations arent just about relationships between
governments or leaders...theyre about relationships between people, particularly our young people.
thats why when my husband and i travel abroad, we dont just visit palaces and parliaments and meet with heads of state.
governments or leaders...theyre about relationships between people, particularly our young people.
so we view study abroad programs not just as an educational opportunity for students... but also as a vital part of americas foreign policy.
you see, through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button.
because getting ahead in todays workplaces isnt just about getting good grades or test scores in school...its also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders -experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.
or, as the chinese saying goes: it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”
but lets be clear, studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future
- its also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share. no one country can confront them alone.. .the only way forward...
that’s why its so important for young people like you to live and study in each others countries. because that’s how you develop that habit of cooperation 一 you do it by immersing yourself in someone elses culture...by learning each others stories?and by getting past the stereotypes and misconceptions that too often divide us.
and thats how you realize that we all have a stake in each others success - that cures discovered here in beijing could save lives in america. ? .that clean energy technologies from silicon valley in california could improve the environment here in china...that the architecture of an ancient temple in xian could inspire the design of new buildings in dallas or detroitand thats when the connections you make as classmates or labmates can blossom into something more.
thats what happened when abigail coplin became an american fulbright scholar here at peking university.
she and her colleagues published papers together in top science journals.. .and they built research partnerships that lasted long after they returned to their home countries.
professor niu ke from peking university was a fulbright scholar in the u.s. last year...and he reported, and i quote, ‘the most memorable experiences were with my american friends.
these lasting bonds represent the true value of studying abroad. ..and i am thrilled that more and more students are getting this opportunity.
china is currently the fifth most popular destination for americans studying abroad. and today, the highest number of exchange students in the u.s. are from china. but still, too many students never have this chance. ? .and some that do are hesitant to take it. they may feel like study abroad is only for wealthy students, or students from certain kinds of universities.
you see, i came from a working class family.. .and it never even ocurried to me to study abroad.
my parents didnt get to attend college, arid i was focused on getting into a university and earning my degree so i could get a job and support myself.
and for a lot of young people like me who are struggling to afford a regular semester of school, paying for plane tickets or living expenses halfway around the world just isnt possible.
and thats not acceptable, because study abroad shouldnt just be for students from certain
backgrounds.
our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that makes our country so vibrant and strong...and our study abroad programs should reflect the true spirit of america to the world.
thats why, when my husband visited china back in 2009，he announced our 100,000 strong initiative to increase the number and diversity of american students studying in china.and this year, as we mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the normalization
of relations between our countries. ? .the u.s. government actually supports more american students in china than in any other country in the world.
were sending high school, college and graduate students here to study chinese. ? .were inviting teachers from china to teach mandarin in american schools...were providing free online advising for students in china who want to study in the u.s.. .and the u.s.-china fuibright program is still going strong with more than 3,000 alumni. the private sector is stepping up as well.
and today, students from all kinds of backgrounds are studying here in china. take the example of royale nicholson from cleveland, ohio
like me, royale is a first generation college student. ? .and her mother worked two full time jobs while her father worked nights to support their family.
and then theres philmon haile from the university of washington whose family came to the u.s. as refugees from eritrea when he was a child.
of his experience studying in china, he said, study abroad is a powerful vehicle for people-to-people exchange as we improve into a new era of citizen diplomacy.” “a new era of citizen diplomacy” 一 i couldnt have said it better myself, because thats really what im talking about. ? .pm talking about ordinary citizens reaching out to the world.
and as i always tell young people back in america, you dont need to get on a plane to be a citizen diplomat.
i tell them that if you have an internet connection in your home, school, or library, within seconds, you can be transported anywhere in the world and meet people on every continent.
thats why im posting a daily travel blog with videos and photos of my experiences in china 一 because i want young people in america to be part of this visit
thats really the power of technology 一 how it can open up the entire world and expose us to ideas and innovations we never could have imagined.and thats why it is so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media.
and thats how we decide which values and ideas we think are best 一 by questioning and debating them vigorously... by listening to all sides of every argument. ? .and by judging for ourselves. and believe me, i know this can be a messy and frustrating process.
my husband and i are on the receiving end of plenty of questioning and criticism from our media and our fellow citizens.. .and its not always easy.. .but we wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. because time and again, we have seen that countries are stronger and more prosperous when the voices and opinions of all their citizens can be heard.
and as my husband has said, we respect the uniqueness of other cultures and societies. we believe that all people deserve the opportunity to fulfill their highest potential as 1 was able to do in the united states.
and as you learn about new cultures and form new friendships during your time here in china and in the united states, all of you are the living, breathing embodiment
of those values.
so i guarantee you that in studying abroad’ youre not just changing your own life...youre changing the lives of everyone you meet.
as the great american president john f. kennedy once said about foreign students studying in the u.s., “i think they teach more than they learn.
and that is just as true of young americans who study abroad.
all of you are americas best face, and chinas best face, to the world.
every day, you show the world your countries，energy, creativity, optimism and unwavering belief in the future.
and every day, you remind us of just how much we can achieve if we reach across borders. ..and learn to see ourselves in each other...and confront our shared challenges with shared resolve.篇二：米歇尔北大演讲中英文完整版
3月22日上午，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‖为主题的演讲。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。以下为米歇尔演讲的双语全文：
mrs. obama: (applause.) thank you. well, ni-hao. (laughter.) it is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me.
谢谢。你好。很高兴也很荣幸来到这里，在这所伟大的大学和你们共聚一堂。非常感谢你们邀请我。
now, before i get started today, on behalf of myself and my husband, i just want to say a few very brief words about malaysia airlines flight 370. as my husband has said, the united states is offering as many resources as possible to assist in the search. and please know that we are keeping all of the families and loved ones of those on this flight in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. 在我今天开始之前，代表我自己和我的丈夫，我想就马来西亚航空公司的mh370航班简短说两句。如我丈夫所说，美国正提供尽可能多的资源协助搜寻工作。请相信，在这个非常艰难的时刻，我们的心和航班上人员的家属和亲人在一起，我们为他们祈祷。
now with that, i want to start by recognizing our new ambassador to china, ambassador baucus. president wang; chairman zhu; vice president li; director cueller; professor oi, and the stanford center; president sexton from new york university, which is an excellent study abroad program in shanghai; and john thornton, director of the global leadership program at tsinghua university. thank you all for joining us.
现在，我们首先来认识一下美国新任驻华大使——博卡斯大使。王校长、朱主席、李副校长、 cuelluer主任、jean oi教授和斯坦福中心，纽约大学的塞克顿斯校长（该校在上海开设了一个优秀的海外留学项目），以及清华大学全球领袖项目主任约翰·桑顿 ，由衷地感谢大家的到来。
but most of all, i want to thank all of the students who are here today. and i particularly want to thank eric schaefer and zhu xuanhao for that extraordinary english and chinese introduction. that was a powerful symbol of everything that i want to talk with you about today.
最重要的是，我要感谢今天所有到场的学生们......我要特别感谢埃里克·谢弗和朱宣皓的精彩英文和中文介绍。这绝佳地诠释了我今天要和大家聊的全部话题。
see, by learning each other’s languages, and by showing such curiosity and respect for each other’s cultures, mr. schafer and ms. zhu and all of you are building bridges of understanding that will lead to so much more. and i’m here today because i know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you acrossthe globe.
你们看，通过学习彼此的语言，通过展现对彼此文化的好奇心和尊重，谢弗先生、朱女士以及你们大家正在搭建理解的桥梁，这些桥梁带来更多的丰硕成果。我今天来到你们这里是因为我知道，我们的未来取决于全球像你们这样年轻人间的这样的联系。
这也是为什么我们夫妇在国外访问时，不只参观宫殿、议会和会晤国家元首。我们也来到学校，与像你们一样的学生见面。因为我们相信，国与国之间的关系不只是政府或领导人之间的关系，它们是人民间―特别是年轻人之间的关系。因此，我们认为海外留学项目不只是为学生提供的教育机会，还是美国外交政策至关重要的组成部分。
通过现代技术奇迹，我们的世界比以往任何时候都更多地联系在一起。思想可以通过点击按钮跨越海洋。全球各地的公司可以进行业务往来和相互竟争。我们可以与各大洲的人们通过短信、电子邮件和skype进行沟通。
因此，出国留学不只是以开心的方式度过一个学期——它正迅速成为全球化经济中取得成功的关键。因为要走在当今职场的前沿，只在学校里取得好成绩是不够的，还应拥有国境外的真实体验：体验完全不同的语言、文化和社会。正如中国的一句古话所说：―读万卷书，不如行万里路。‖
我想要说的是，出国留学绝不仅是改善你们自己的未来，它也关乎塑造你们的国家、关乎我们共有的世界的未来。因为我们这个时代的决定性挑战一一无论是气侯变化、经济机遇，还是核武器扩散一一这些都是我们共同的挑战。没有任何一个国家能够单独应对它们??唯一的出路就是共同携手。
