奥巴马每周电视讲话:总统庆贺国家公园管理局设立100周年(1)
Hi everybody. Earlier this summer, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I headed west—to the national parks at Carlsbad Caverns and Yosemite.
嗨,大家。今年夏初,米歇尔、马利亚、莎莎和我去了西部的卡尔斯巴德洞窟国家公园和优诗美地国家公园。
And I've got to say, it was a breath of fresh air.
我得说,这是呼吸新鲜的空气的地方。
We explored hundreds of feet underground, standing beneath dripping stalactites in New Mexico.
我们在新墨西哥州探访地下几百英尺,站在滴水的钟乳石下。
We hiked up a misty trail next to a waterfall in California. And I even took a few pictures of my own –which I thought were pretty good?
我们沿着云蒸雾绕的小路爬上加利福尼亚瀑布上端。我还给自己拍了几张照片,还不错吧?
But the truth is, no camera – especially one with me behind it – can fully capture the beauty and majesty of America's national parks.
而实际上任何相机,尤其我面前那部相机,都不可能完整摄入国家公园美妙与珍贵。
From Glacier and Denali to Gettysburg and Seneca Falls, our more than 400 parks and other sites capture our history and our sense of wonder.
从冰川国家公园和德纳里峰到葛底斯堡和塞尼卡瀑布,我国400 多个公园和其它遗址承载着历史并吸引我们探究其奥妙。
As FDR once said: “There is nothing so American as our national parks…the fundamental idea behind the parks… is that the country belongs to the people.”
罗斯福曾说:“没有什么比这些国家公园更有美国风范,国家公园的基本意义就是国家属于人民。”
This month, we're celebrating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.
本月,我们庆贺国家公园管理局设立100 周年。
And I want to encourage all of you to “Find Your Park” so that you and your family can experience these sacred places, too.
我想鼓励大家去“发掘你的公园”,让你和你的家人也可以体验这些神圣的地方。
If you're a military family, you can even get in free through Michelle and Jill Biden's Joining Forces initiative.
如果是军人家庭,你甚至可以通过米歇尔和吉尔?拜登的“联合行动倡议”获得免费机会。
And if you've got a fourth grader in your family, you can get a free pass, too, by going to EveryKidInAPark.org.
如果你的家庭有四年级学生, 通过访问EveryKidInAPark.org 网站也能得到一张免费通行证。
I hope you do. Because all across the country, the National Park Service is preparing for a big year.
我希望你的行动。因为全国所有国家公园都在准备百年大庆。
