天下 09-29

很多備考托福的同學，對於寫作部分挺頭疼的，自己寫有困難，背範文又苦於找不到地道的素材。其實，就算看不懂艱澀難懂的科普稿和文風肆意的新聞稿，別忘了，美國還有個自帶演講技能的總統呢！

奧巴馬擅長演講，他的演講稿也可以稱得上是英語考試的範文。今天要和大家分享的，就是取材於奧巴馬早年關於財政政策的演講，我們逐段來分析下。

以下每一段的分析分三部分，第一部分都是原文，第二部分是根據原文製作的範文，第三部分是該段落的用途。

為了保證大家不會有理解錯誤，力勸大家首先研究原文的含義，然後再使用修改後的範文，絕對能做到事半功倍哦!

原文

What we』ve been debating here in Washington over the last few weeks will affect the lives of the students here and families all across America in potentially profound ways. This debate over budgets and deficits is about more than just numbers on a page; it』s about more than just cutting and spending. It』s about the kind of future that we want. It』s about the kind of country that we believe in. And that』s what I want to spend some time talking about today.
