米歇尔牛津激情演讲 场景似魔法学校

2011-05-26来源:国际在线

  Michelle Obama received a rapturous round of applause as she arrived at Oxford University’s Christ Church college yesterday to meet a group of schoolgirls from an inner-city secondary school. The solo visit by the President’s wife was arranged at her suggestion to help encourage the pupils from Elizabeth Garrett Anderson school in North London to think about studying for a degree.The First Lady had visited the school two years ago and has kept in touch ever since, writing letters and encouraging the girls in their studies。

  为了给自己的竞选造势,颇有“偶像范”的美国总统奥巴马先生来到了伦敦、见了新婚的威廉凯特夫妇,也和老太太伊丽莎白二世共进晚餐,马不停蹄的“秀场”当然也不能缺少他的妻子---同样具有“明星气质”的第一夫人米歇尔。据悉,米歇尔当天独自来到顶级学府牛津大学基督教会学院与院内的女同学们亲切座谈,发表了一番激情演讲,鼓励她们努力学习拿到学位证书。据透露,米歇尔是第二次到该学院看望那的学生,2年前继她第一次到该校后,她还是坚持持续写信鼓励那的女生们坚持学业。

  The 37 girls present were specially picked because they are interested in science and need help to reach their full potential. Dressed in black trousers, a long white Alexander McQueen jacket worth ?600 and a ?500 gold and white McQueen belt, Mrs Obama was greeted like an old friend as she entered the college’s dining room. The girls sat at two long tables to listen to her remarks, in a scene that will be familiar to fans of the Harry Potter films – the dining room was used as the set for the Grand Hall at Hogwarts in the movies. In a question and answer session with the pupils, Mrs Obama, who is a mother of two girls, spoke on everything from bringing up children in the White House to when there will be a female U.S. president。

  据悉,这次能和米歇尔“面对面”共有37名女生,他们都对科学感兴趣,需要支持完成她们的学业。虽然是造访学术领域,但是“时尚达人”米歇尔还是穿上了一身“名牌行头”亚历山大·麦昆的白色长衫以及几乎同样价值的该品牌的皮带,高贵优雅。有意思的是,牛津大学这次接待第一夫人米歇尔也“花了一番心思”,不知道是为英国传奇魔幻电影《哈利波特》系列即将划上等号的最后一个剧作“造势”还是怎么地,他们“借用”电影《哈利波特》中“霍格沃茨的豪华的大厅”作为饭厅来接待米歇尔,而且,女生也像电影中的那样,用长桌子横坐听演讲,视觉冲击力十分强。此外,作为两位女儿的母亲,米歇尔还毫不避讳和学生们分享她两个女儿的秘密,以及她养育女儿的心得。据悉,米歇尔这回牛津演讲的话题范围很广,让学生大感满足。
