Obama’s letter to his daughters 奥巴马在即将上任之际，写了封公开信给两个尚未成年的女儿。想知道他说了什么吗？以下是这封信的部分内容，一起来看看吧！ Dear Malia and Sasha, ... When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me — about how I’d make my way in the world: become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief (淘气) and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment (满足) in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation. ... These are the things I want for you — to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate (富于同情心的), committed (效忠的) women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive(茁壮成长） that you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure. I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise (镇定), grace (优雅), and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House. Love, Dad Choose the best answer. ( )1.
