总统夫妇的爱情罗曼史

下面来和大家介绍下总统夫妇的爱情历史，简直是一部玛丽苏小说啊！！

现在，奥巴马每晚仍拥着米歇尔甜蜜入眠，27年的恩爱故事塞你一嘴的狗粮！！

For starters
初遇

1989年的夏天，总统夫妇因工作而相遇。米歇尔25岁提前从哈佛毕业，成为芝加哥法律事务所的一名律师。当时奥巴马是暑期实习生，米歇尔成为了他的导师。（英大：所以是一段师生恋？！！）

作为导师的米歇尔邀请奥巴马共进晚餐。奥巴马很快就被米歇尔的睿智和美丽所吸引。没过多久，他就开始追求米歇尔了。

At first, Michelle said she expected her advisee, then a Harvard Law student, to be "nerdy, strange, off-putting." But he surprised her.
一开始，米歇尔觉得这个来自哈佛法学院的学生，有些“呆蠢、奇怪，让人讨厌。”但是他（之后的表现）却惊艳到了她。
"I was charmed," she told Chicago Magazine. "I was pleasantly surprised by who he turned out to be."
“我被他深深吸引，”她告诉《芝加哥杂志》，“他真实的一面让我又惊又喜。”
"He was cuter than I thought he'd be," she told cnn.
她告诉cnn：“他比我想象的还要可爱。”

米歇尔是纯正的非裔美国人，是黑奴的后代。父亲病重，家里负债累累欠了很多债。但米歇尔学习成绩非常好，一路跳级，24岁就已是哈佛的法学女博士！

而奥巴马在2岁时被父亲抛弃，母亲改嫁去了印尼。奥巴马和生活困难的外祖父母一起生活，依靠助学贷款完成了全部学业。

就这样，两个穷困的人开始了他们负债累累的爱情。

Their first date
初次约会

没多久，两人在芝加哥第一次约会了！他们参观了芝加哥艺术学院，看了电影，压了马路。在伦敦海德公园的冰激凌店一吻定情！

"He showed all the sides," she said in a video. "He was hip. Cultural. Sensitive. The fountain, nice touch. The walk, sensitive."
“他把所有的一面都表现了出来”，米歇尔在电视里说，“他忧郁、文艺、细心。喷泉旁那是温柔的接触，散步很贴心。”
"Take tips, gentlemen," he added.“
绅士们注意学学哈。”奥巴马（在一旁）补充。

Wedding
婚礼

1992年，两人步入了婚姻的殿堂。结婚前，米歇尔带奥巴马回家见父母，丈母娘对奥巴马非常满意！

Robinson told PEOPLE in 2007. "And, you know, it just seemed like a good match. I just think he's a nice person and I just think she felt like he was a nice intelligent young man and she said he had a good sense of humor."
罗宾逊在2007年告诉《人物周刊》的记者：“你看，这就是天造地设的一对儿。我只是觉得他是个好孩子，我也认为米歇尔感觉他是一个友善而优秀的年轻人，但是她说他也很幽默。”

"He was able to articulate a vision that resonated with people, that was real," she said. "And right then and there, I decided this guy was special. The authenticity you see is real, and that's why I fell in love with him."
米歇尔表示：“他能够强有力的的描述远景并让人们产生共鸣，相信那些都是真的。就在那时，我认定这个男人不同凡响。你所见的即是真的，这就是我坠入爱河的原因。”
势均力敌的爱情

结婚后，两人依然处在热恋之中，彼此更加相爱。

婚后的生活让米歇尔更加忙碌，一方面要照顾家庭，一方面还要打拼事业。但她把家庭和事业平衡的很好！不请保姆，自己亲自抚养孩子，每天坚持健身，同时她的事业也没有受到影响！

奥巴马这样评论妻子：

"Michelle is a tremendously strong person, and has a very strong sense of herself and who she is and where she comes from," he said. "But I also think in her eyes you can see a trace of vulnerability that most people don't know, because when she's walking through the world she is this tall, beautiful, confident woman."
“米歇尔是个极其坚强的人，有着强烈的自我，知道自己是谁，从哪里来，”他说，“但是我觉得在她的眼里你能感到一丝很多人都感知不到的脆弱，因为她总是在人们的期望的世界里穿梭，认为她应该高高在上、美丽而又自信。”

米歇尔对丈夫也有更深刻的了解，并被丈夫的优点所感染：

Michelle knew a political career could be on the horizon for her husband, but was worried about how he'd handle it.
米歇尔找到了一条对于她丈夫来说即将出人头地的的政治生涯，但是她担忧他如何掌控。

"There is a little tension with that," she said. "I'm very wary of politics. I think he's too much of a good guy for the kind of brutality, the skepticism."
“我感到有一丝丝的不安，”她说，“我对政治小心翼翼。我觉得他太善良恐怕无法适应政界的残酷和猜忌。”

"Barack has helped me loosen up and feel comfortable with taking risks, not doing things the traditional way and sort of testing it out, because that is how he grew up," she said. “
巴拉克（奥巴马）帮助我在面对危机时放松并保持怡然自得，而不是用传统方式解决，如同通关斩将一般，因为他就是从中成长起来的，”她说。
势均力敌，是感情的最佳状态，让两人走的更远！

所以，大家要一起进去，一起学习！

风雨同舟

2000年，奥巴马竞选美国众议院的议员时失败。当时信用卡被刷爆，助学贷款还没有还完，同时还要抚养女儿，两人的生活非常窘迫。

但两人依旧没有放弃。2004年，奥巴马继续参加竞选，打败了据称拥有高达70%选票的共和党候选人，成为了伊利诺伊州年轻而魅力四射的参议员。

2008年，奥巴马开始竞选美国总统。这对第一夫妇的关系也开始暴露在大众眼中。米歇尔依靠自己的人脉和睿智的演讲为丈夫拉票！

在选举前的访谈中，主持人问米歇尔，奥巴马是如何准备辩论的。

"You want to know how Barack prepares for a debate?" she asked Jay Leno during a pre-election interview. "He hangs out with me."
米歇尔说“你想知道他是怎么准备辩论的？他是和我一起练习。”
就算在他·们刚进入闪光灯的生活里，我们也能看到奥巴马和米歇尔之间的浪漫。

In the thick of his presidential campaign, just a month before Election Day, he insisted on returning home to Chicago to take his wife out to dinner for their 16th wedding anniversary.
他在总统竞选最激烈的时候，也就是大选日前一个月，坚持回到芝加哥的家，带着米歇尔出去庆祝他们的16周年结婚纪念日。
在白宫的生活

奥巴马赢得了总统大选，入主白宫，成为美国历史上首个非裔总统。他们的家庭随之而来也拥有了一些额外的好处。

Michelle said having Barack's office so close by meant she and their daughters saw him more than ever before.
米歇尔说,巴拉克的办公室如此的近，她和她女儿可以多看到他几次了。

"The time that we've had here at the White House, we've spent more time together on a daily basis as a family," she told PEOPLE in 2012. "During most of our marriage where he was in Springfield, and I was in Chicago; he was in Washington, I was in Chicago. So now we live above the store."
“在白宫，一家人有更多的时间在一起。”2012年她告诉《人物周刊》，“在我们婚姻大部分时间里，他在斯普林菲尔德而我在芝加哥，他在华盛顿我还在芝加哥。现在我们不用两地分居了。”

Even now, after 24 years of marriage, the romance hasn't waned for the first couple: Despite their busy schedules, they still manage to exercise with one another, have dinner as a family and walk the dogs.
就算现在，度过了24年的婚姻，第一夫妇的浪漫丝毫未减弱：尽管他们的日程繁忙，他们还是努力一起锻炼，作为一家人共进晚餐并一起遛狗。

And they've never been shy about showing their affection for one another, from a moment on the "kiss cam" at a U.S. men's basketball game.
他们也从不避讳秀恩爱：美国男子篮球比赛上的“接吻游戏”里的一瞬间！

Michelle, Barack said, doesn't just give him love, but brings him back down to earth when the pressure gets high, or the job gets (even more) intense.
奥巴马说，米歇尔不仅仅给了他爱情，当压力重重工作安排密不透风的时候，她让他感到重回人间。

He's said. "She always knocks me down a peg, and it's important."
奥巴马说，“她总是给我泼冷水，这很重要。”

守住了爱情，收获了人生！
