In my 18 years of life, there have been many things. University days are the best part of them. I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university. I was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere. I at once fell in love with it.
After the arduous military training, I get absolutely absorbed in my studies. The classes given by the teachers are excellent. They provide us with not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well. They easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as I can.
Frankly speaking, at first I had some difficulty following the teachers. However, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, I made remarkable progress. Now I've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.
Learning is a long process; I'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself. This summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world. A publishing house offered me a part-time job in pilation and revision.
At the beginning I was belittled by my colleagues. But they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one day. Gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes. In their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.
I also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy. So I often take part in activities concerning public welfare. I once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates. We taught the kids there who could not afford school. While showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn，論文翻譯, their honesty and their purity. I couldn't control my tears on the day when we left. The precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.
Besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well. I do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic. We also write a play and put it on in our spare time.
Campus life is the most splendid time. But different people have different choices. The majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll bee outstanding. But there are indeed some students still under ignorance. They gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards. They're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. They forget pletely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland，美加翻譯社.
Finally, I do hope everybody can try their best to bee a worthy citizen of the country. I do hope everybody can bee the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!

譯文:享受生活、不忘使命

在我這18年的生命中，有著許多美好的經歷，而大壆生活則是其中最難忘的一段。我永遠不會忘記剛剛跨進大壆校園的那僟天:花園一樣的校園，越南文翻譯，熱情活躍的壆生，特別是那裏的氣氛，給我留下了深刻的印象。
經過了一段艱辛的軍事訓練後，我完全融入到了中。老師的講課真是棒極了。他們傳授給我們的不僅是課本上的知識，還包括其他各種各樣的信息。我渴望獲得儘可能多的知識，是老師激發起了我這個不能滿足的慾望。
坦率地說，一開始我還不能跟上老師的講課。但是，通過我自己的努力以及老師的指導，我取得了巨大的進步。我從老師的授課和其他許多壆朮報告中獲益匪淺。
是個循序漸進、長期的過程，我會在知識的寶庫中不斷探索，豐富自我。今年暑假，我跨出象牙塔，進入並接觸到了真正的社會。一個出版社給了我編輯和校對的兼職工作。
工作初期，同事們都礁不起我。但是，噹我在一天之內翻譯完7篇(總字數超過5000字)的英語文章後，他們真的是
大吃一驚。漸漸地，他們開始用尊敬的眼光看待我。他們認為，我變成了一個有用並值得信賴的好同事。
我也同樣意識到，只有那些為別人帶來倖福的人才能真正的倖福。因而，我經常參加有關公眾福利享業的活動。有一次，我和同壆去了一個貧痔的山區村莊。在那裏，我們教那些沒錢上壆的孩子。我向他們展示了一幅寬廣、文明的外部世界的畫面，但同時我也被那些孩子的渴望、他們的真誠和純潔深深打動了。在我們離開的那一天，我那不爭氣的眼淚禁不住流了下來。這次珍貴的經歷讓我們這些未來的教師意識到了自己肩上的責任重大。
除了和社會實踐，我還經常參加娛樂活動。我每天都鍛煉身體，希望保持健康和充滿活力。我們還在業余時間寫劇本並排練演出。
園生活是最豐富多彩的。但是，不同的人有著不同的選擇。大多數的壆生珍惜他們的美好時光，並殷切希望將來能出類拔萃。可是，的確有壆生無動於衷。他們聚在一起吃喝玩樂;他們忙於追求異性朋友;他們完全忘記了自己作為大壆生的使命和祖國對他們的厚望。
最後，我希望每個人都能儘最大努力成為國傢的有用人才。我也希望每個人都能成為我們民族的脊梁，為社會做出巨大的貢獻!

President Bush Meets with President Barzani of the Kurdistan Regional Government - 英語演講

PRESIDENT BUSH: President Barzani, wele back to the Oval Office，韓文翻譯. It's been a while since we have seen each other, but we have talked on the phone quite frequently -- and the reason why is because you've played a very instrumental part in the development of a free Iraq. And I thank you for your leadership and I thank you for your personal friendship.

We had a discussion today on several major topics. We talked about the progress on the election law and on the hydrocarbon law, but we also talked about the status of forces agreement, called the SOFA. President Barzani has been a very strong advocate of the Iraqi government passing the SOFA, and I appreciate that.

I informed the President we received amendments today from the government. We're analyzing those amendments. We obviously want to be helpful and constructive without undermining basic principles. And I remain very hopeful and confident that the SOFA will get passed. And Mr. President, you get a lot of credit for your leadership on that issue.

So I'm proud to wele you back here. Again, I thank you very much for your courage and your leadership.

PRESIDENT BARZANI: (As translated.) Thank you very much, Mr. President. It's good that there has been another opportunity for us to visit with you again. I am here to convey the gratitude of the Iraqi people in general and the people of Kurdistan, in particular, for the brave decision that you've made to rid us of this dictatorship.

We are very grateful for all the brave souls，英翻中, women and men in uniform, who gave their dear lives in the process. And we are very grateful to the American people and to you, Mr，越南文翻譯. President, for this sacrifice.

And despite the fact that there remain some major problems, we have also to look at all the big achievements that have been made thus far. Let's look at the elections and the constitution that has been ratified. So these are major achievements that we are proud of. And we are determined to solve all the problems that still exist, according to the constitution.

And in terms of SOFA, we do believe that it is in the interest of the Iraqi government, it's in the interest of this country, and we have been and we will continue to support it and support its ratification.

Thank you very much, Mr. President.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you, sir.

Remarks by the President to The Hispanic Chamber of merce on a plete and c - 英語演講

Washington Marriott Metro Center

Washington, D.C.

9:54 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Si se puede.

AUDIENCE: Si se puede! Si se puede! Si se puede!

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you so much. Please, everybody have a seat. Thank you for the wonderful introduction, David. And thank you for the great work that you are doing each and every day. And I appreciate such a warm wele. Some of you I've gotten a chance to know; many of you I'm meeting for the first time. But the spirit of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of merce, the desire to create jobs and provide opportunity to people who sometimes have been left out -- that's exactly what this administration is about. That's the essence of the American Dream. And so I'm very proud to have a chance to speak with all of you.

You know, every so often, throughout our history, a generation of Americans bears the responsibility of seeing this country through difficult times and protecting the dream of its founding for posterity. This is a responsibility that's fallen to our generation. Meeting it will require steering our nation's economy through a crisis unlike anything that we have seen in our time.

In the short term, that means jump-starting job creation and restarting lending, and restoring confidence in our markets and our financial system. But it also means taking steps that not only advance our recovery, but lay the foundation for lasting, shared prosperity，英翻中.

I know there's some who believe we can only handle one challenge at a time. And they forget that Lincoln helped lay down the transcontinental railroad and passed the Homestead Act and created the National Academy of Sciences in the midst of civil war. Likewise, President Roosevelt didn't have the luxury of choosing between ending a depression and fighting a war; he had to do both. President Kennedy didn't have the luxury of choosing between civil rights and sending us to the moon. And we don't have the luxury of choosing between getting our economy moving now and rebuilding it over the long term.

America will not remain true to its highest ideals -- and America's place as a global economic leader will be put at risk -- unless we not only bring down the crushing cost of health care and transform the way we use energy, but also if we do -- if we don't do a far better job than we've been doing of educating our sons and daughters; unless we give them the knowledge and skills they need in this new and changing world.

For we know that economic progress and educational achievement have always gone hand in hand in America. The land-grant colleges and public high schools transformed the economy of an industrializing nation. The GI Bill generated a middle class that made America's economy unrivaled in the 20th century. Investments in math and science under President Eisenhower gave new opportunities to young scientists and engineers all across the country. It made possible somebody like a Sergei Brin to attend graduate school and found an upstart pany called Google that would forever change our world.

The source of America's prosperity has never been merely how ably we accumulate wealth, but how well we educate our people. This has never been more true than it is today. In a 21st-century world where jobs can be shipped wherever there's an Internet connection, where a child born in Dallas is now peting with a child in New Delhi, where your best job qualification is not what you do, but what you know -- education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity and success, it's a prerequisite for success.

That's why workers without a four-year degree have borne the brunt of recent layoffs, Latinos most of all. That's why, of the 30 fastest growing occupations in America, half require a Bachelor's degree or more. By 2016, four out of every 10 new jobs will require at least some advanced education or training.

So let there be no doubt: The future belongs to the nation that best educates its citizens -- and my fellow Americans, we have everything we need to be that nation. We have the best universities, the most renowned scholars. We have innovative principals and passionate teachers and gifted students, and we have parents whose only priority is their child's education. We have a legacy of excellence, and an unwavering belief that our children should climb higher than we did.

And yet, despite resources that are unmatched anywhere in the world, we've let our grades slip, our schools crumble, our teacher quality fall short, and other nations outpace us. Let me give you a few statistics. In 8th grade math, we've fallen to 9th place. Singapore's middle-schoolers outperform ours three to one. Just a third of our 13- and 14-year-olds can read as well as they should. And year after year，美加翻譯社, a stubborn gap persists between how well white students are doing pared to their African American and Latino classmates，韓文翻譯. The relative decline of American education is untenable for our economy, it's unsustainable for our democracy, it's unacceptable for our children -- and we can't afford to let it continue.
