And I’m going to give extra thanks to my ?mother-in-law?for the? role model?she’s always been to Michelle and the countless selfless ways in which she’s helped Michelle and me raise Malia and Sasha. 此外，我还要特别地谢谢我的岳母，因为她一直都为米歇尔树立榜样以及她在帮助我和米歇尔抚养玛利亚和莎夏上所做的无数的、无私的付出。 I am incredibly lucky to have these wonderful women help me raise, love, and look after our girls. 我是如此幸运，有这样一位优秀的女性来帮助我抚养、爱护、照看我们的女儿。 I hope you’ll also take a moment to say thank you to the women in your life who love you in that special way mothers do. 我希望你们也能花一点时间对你们生命中对你们付出特别的爱的那位女性——母亲说出你们的感谢。 Biological moms,? adoptive moms, and foster moms;?single moms, grandmoms and godmothers; aunts and mentors –? whomever?you think of when you think of Mother’s Day. 生母，养母；单身妈妈，教母；婶婶和导师——当你想起母亲节时所能想起的一切的人。 Or take a moment, like I will, to remember the moms who raised us, whose big hearts sustained us, and whom we miss every day, no matter how old we get. 或者花一些时间，就像我一样，去记住抚养我们的妈妈，那些曾经用宽广的胸怀供养我们，那些我们无论长多大都会想念的妈妈。 Giving?flowers is always a good idea. 送花一直是一个好想法。 But I hope that on this Mother’s Day, we’ll?recommit ourselves to doing?more than that: Through deeds that match our words, 不过我希望这个母亲节，我们不再仅仅只是送花：做一些跟我们说过的话相符的行为吧。 语言点精析：recommit to doing sth要与recommit to do sth区分开：recommit to+名词或-ing表示委托, 将提交, 付诸, 承诺(这里的是介词)recommit to do sth则表示保证做某事?。 let’s give mothers the respect they?deserve, give all women the equality they deserve, and give all parents the support they need in their most important roles. 让我们给母亲应有的尊重吧，给所有女性应有的平等，给所有的父母在最重要的角色上需要的支持吧。 语言点精析：deserve表示值得;? 应得（vt);应受报答;? 应得报酬(vi);1.deser
