奥巴马罗姆尼辩论会：2012美国总统大选首场电视辩论视频及文

美国总统竞选电视辩论始于1960年，本书精选了从1960年至2004年美国历届大选总统辩论内容（1964、1968和1972年的大选没有进行总统辩论），内容涵盖外交、国防、经济、教育、社会保障、医疗保险、同性恋婚姻、医药卫生、家庭等方面，知识性、启发性、趣味性、可读性都很强，从这些辩论可以看到美国44年的发展轨迹，了解其对内、对外政策的演变过程，特别适合想在短期内提高英语应用水平的学生、国家公务员、律师和对美国感兴趣的人阅读，对准备国家公务员考试申论部分也有助益，同时可以作为短期英语培训班的教材。由于临近大选投票日期，两党竞选阵营都在１０月放缓了筹款步伐，奥巴马与罗姆尼在１０月更多的是全力备战三场辩论，而不是参加各种筹款活动。 奥巴马：好的，谢谢你，吉姆（译者注：美国公共广播公司新闻主持人，2008年9月26日第一场总统辩论主持人），我也要感谢总统辩论委员会和密西西比大学——也就是“欧尔密斯”（译者注：密西西比大学的俗称）今天晚上对我们的款待。

2012美国总统大选首场电视辩论实况录像英语文本：

JIM LEHRER: Good evening from the Magness Arena at the University of Denver in Denver, Colorado. I'm Jim Lehrer of the PBS NewsHour, and I welcome you to the first of the 2012 presidential debates between President Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee.

s congress visited georgia at the head of a delegation, vice-chairman tomur dawamat of the npc standing committee visited georgia, vice-chairman of the central military commission, in the name of the chinese government.。the elections commission of guyana said the final results of the parliamentary and presidential elections held on monday are expected on wednesday.。students also should be excused for participation in official university-sponsored activities, such as music performances, athletic competition, or debate。

Tonight's 90 minutes will be about domestic issues, and will follow a format designed by the commission. There will be six roughly 15-minute segments, with two-minute answers for the first question, then open discussion for the remainder of each segment.

Thousands of people offered suggestions on segment subjects of questions via the Internet and other means, but I made the final selections, and for the record, they were not submitted for approval to the commission or the candidates.

The segments, as I announced in advance, will be three on the economy and one each on health care, the role of government, and governing, with an emphasis throughout on differences, specifics and choices. Both candidates will also have two-minute closing statements.

cctv network news (news broadcast) : president xi jinping 18th afternoon at a ceremony in a plaza east to the great hall of the people, welcome to mozambique president felipe side, of new york state visit to china in the west.。first of all, let me introduce today’s guests to all: mr. yang, mr. gong…everyone, in order to welcome their visiting, give them warm applause。as sodexo’s business is growing, we sincerely welcome the excellent candidates who have good sense of customer service and the ability to gain business to join sodexo.。

Gentlemen, welcome to you both.

Let's start the economy, segment one. And let's begin with jobs. What are the major differences between the two of you about how you would go about creating new jobs? You have two minutes — each of you have two minutes to start. The coin toss has determined, Mr. President, you go first.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Well, thank you very much, Jim, for this opportunity. I want to thank Governor Romney and the University of Denver for your hospitality.

There are a lot of points that I want to make tonight, but the most important one is that 20 years ago I became the luckiest man on earth because Michelle Obama agreed to marry me. (Laughter.) And so I just want to wish, Sweetie, you happy anniversary and let you know that a year from now, we will not be celebrating it in front of 40 million people. (Laughter.)

You know, four years ago we went through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Millions of jobs were lost. The auto industry was on the brink of collapse. The financial system had frozen up. And because of the resilience and the determination of the American people, we've begun to fight our way back.

Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created. The auto industry has come roaring back and housing has begun to rise. But we all know that we've still got a lot of work to do. And so the question here tonight is not where we've been but where we're going. Governor Romney has a perspective that says if we cut taxes, skewed towards the wealthy, and roll back regulations that we'll be better off.

I've got a different view. I think we've got to invest in education and training. I think it's important for us to develop new sources of energy here in America, that we change our tax code to make sure that we're helping small businesses and companies that are investing here in the United States, that we take some of the money that we're saving as we wind down two wars to rebuild America and that we reduce our deficit in a balanced way that allows us to make these critical investments.

Now, it ultimately is going to be up to the voters, to you, which path we should take. Are we going to double down on the top-down economic policies that helped to get us into this mess, or do we embrace a new economic patriotism that says, America does best when the middle class does best? And I'm looking forward to having that debate.
