就职典礼
安迪老师迎着凌厉的寒风，走进天涯的课堂，发现还有稀稀拉拉的学生坐在教室等我。安迪好感动，安迪好激动。
放假了，安迪劳累了一年，终于可以在沙发上瘫痪一会了。我看着Bobo同学给我发的短信：Happy Ox Year! Happy Bull Year! Happy Cow Year! Happy 牛 Year！最后一个最有创意。Mimi，下个礼拜就要过年了，我大年三十到你家吃饺子，你准备好鞭炮了没？
利用一个寒假，我们再学点英语啊？刀不磨要生锈，人不学习要落后。要走完365里路，需要我们365天的努力。今天是美国新当选总统奥巴马宣誓就职的典礼，我们今天来学点这方面的英语。
●课文
Andy: Today President-elect Barack Obama will take his seat in the White House, to be American president of new term.
Mimi: He is handsome and young, isn't he? I especially love the way he smiles.
Bobo: Yes, he is the first African American to be elected president of the United States. I want to be the American president too, andy, do you think I am qualified?
Andy: Yup, you are qualified in personality, but according to the USA law, American president must be born in America, and you were born in Jiapigou, China, so it's almost impossible to be the American president.
Mimi: No wonder his father moved to States from Kenya, I think he got ability to foresee his future son will be a president.
Bobo: Say, Mimi, why don't you marry me and move to America? Probably our future daughter will be the first American woman president.
Mimi: Even enough to be the second Elaine Chao, you know she is my idol.
Andy: You guys are day-dreamers. To be an American president isn't uneasy job, take Obama an example, he must wades into the crush of international economic crisis when he takes power in White House.
Bobo: Expectations are too high around the world for the Obama administration and its foreign policy.
Mimi: But I myself trust his ability, he is able to tackle all those hot potatoes.
Andy: Yes, he is a confident man, but these problems have been existing for so long, you can't expect miracle solutions.
Bobo: Why don't we watch Obama's inauguration speech to see what kind of policy he will take?
Andy: Good idea.
Mimi: Dear Bobo, Uncle Obama didn't invite you to the inaugural ceremony?
Bobo: I would love to be invited as his Secretary of State.
Andy: 今天当选总统奥巴马将入住白宫，成为新一任美国总统。
Mimi：他又帅又年轻，可不是吗？我特别喜欢他的笑容。
Bobo：是的，他是第一个非裔美国人当选美国总统。我也想成为美国总统，安迪，你认为我有资格不？
Andy：太有了，你的个性可以成为一个总统，但是根据美国法律规定，美国总统必须要出生在美国，但是你出生在中国的夹皮沟，成为美国总统基本无望。
Mimi：难怪他父亲早年就从肯尼亚移民到美国，我想他对自己未来儿子成为美国总统有先知之明也。
Bobo：这样吧，Mimi，我俩为什么不结婚，然后移居美国？也许我们未来女儿能成为美国首个女性总统。
Mimi：对我来说，成为赵小兰第二也不错了，你知道她可是俺的偶像。
Andy：你们就白日做梦吧。成为美国总统不是很轻松的，以奥巴马为例，他入住白宫后，必须马上要着手解决国际性的经济危机。
Bobo：全世界对奥巴马政府和它的外交政策期望值太高。
Mimi：但是我还是相信他的能力，他有能力能处理这些棘手的问题。
Andy：你所言极是，他很有自信，但是这些个问题积重难返，你不能期待他魔术般就解决了。
Bobo：为什么我们不看看奥巴马就职演说，了解一下他要执行的政策。
Andy：好主意。
Mimi：亲爱的Bobo，奥巴马大叔没有邀请你参加就职典礼？
Bobo：我更想他邀请我成为他的国务卿。
