Our military families sacrifice so much on our behalf, and Barack and I believe that we should serve them as well as they serve this country. That’s why Dr. Jill Biden and I started Joining Forces – an effort to rally all Americans to honor and support our veterans and military families. Just go to joining forces.gov to find out how you can show your gratitude for their service.
军人家庭为我们做出了那么多牺牲，奥巴马和我相信，我们应该如同他们服务于我们国家一样，服务于他们。这就是为什么吉尔·拜登和我创办了Joining Forces网——旨在团结所有美国人尊重并支持退伍军人和军人家庭。登陆joining forces.gov，表达你对他们服务的感激之情。
THE PRESIDENT: Because that’s what this season is all about. For my family and millions of Americans, it’s a time to celebrate the birth of Christ. To reflect on His life and learn from His example. Every year, we commit to love one another. To give of ourselves. To be our brother’s keeper. To be our sister’s keeper. But those ideas are not just part of our faith. They’re part of all faiths. And they unite us as Americans.
因为这就是圣诞的意义所在。我的家人和数以百万计的美国人，共同庆祝基督的诞生。反思生活和学习榜样。每年我们彼此相爱，奉献自己，守护兄弟姐妹。但这些思想不仅仅是我们个人的信仰，是我们所有信仰的一部分，正是这种信仰团结着美国人民。
THE FIRST LADY: In this country, we take care of each other. And in this season of giving, it’s inspiring to see so many people all across America taking the time to help those most in need.
在这个国家，我们彼此关心，在这个给予的季节，看到美国各地那么多人花时间去帮助那些最需要的人，倍感鼓舞。
THE PRESIDENT: That’s part of what makes us such a compassionate nation. And this year, I know many of you are extending that kindness to the families who are still picking up the pieces from Hurricane Sandy and your prayers to the people of Newtown, Connecticut.
这组成了我们这样一个富有同情心的国家。今年，我知道你们中的很多人都在向那些仍在受飓风桑迪影响的家庭伸出善意之手，向康涅狄格州纽敦的人们祈祷。
THE FIRST LADY: So thank you for all that you’ve done this year on behalf of your fellow Americans.
所以，谢谢你们代表美国同胞所做的一切。
THE PRESIDENT: And on behalf of my favorite Americans – Michelle, Malia, Sasha and Bo – Merry Christmas, everybody.
我代表我深爱的美国人——米歇尔、玛丽亚、萨沙和波，祝大家圣诞快乐。
THE FIRST LADY: Happy holidays.
圣诞快乐
