 	标题：奥巴马每周电视讲话：总统呼吁公平住房体系 
[00:00.53]Hi,everybody. 	大家好。 
[00:02.50]It's our job as citizens to make sure we keep pushing this country we love toward our most cherished ideals-that all of us are created equal,and all of us deserve an equal shot. 	推动这个国家向着我们最为珍惜的理想前进,所有人生而平等,所有人都有公平的机会,这是我们每个公民的责任。 
[00:13.35]This week,my Administration took new steps to bring us closer to that goal. 	本周,本届政府采取了一些新措施,使得我们离这一目标又更进了一步。 
[00:18.63]Almost 50 years ago,Republicans and Democrats in Congress came together to pass the Fair Housing Act. 	大约50年前,国会的共和党人和民主党人共同合作,通过了《公平住房法》。 
[00:25.50]It's a law that says landlords can't turn away tenants solely because of their race,religion,sex,national origin,or disability. 	有了这部法律,房主就不能仅仅因为种族、信仰、性别、原国籍或身体残疾为由拒绝租客,
[00:35.46]And it made a difference in this country. 	为这个国家带来了巨大的变化。 
[00:38.11]Still,the work of the Fair Housing Act remains unfinished. 	当然,《公平住房法》的任务并没有全部完成。 
[00:42.49]Just a few weeks ago,the Supreme Court ruled that policies segregating minorities in poor neighborhoods,even unintentionally,are against the law. 	几周前,最高法院裁定,将少数族裔隔离在贫困社区的政策,即便不是有意的,也是违反该法的。 
[00:51.57]The Court recognized what many people know to be true from their own lives: that too often,where people live determines what opportunities they have in life. 	法院认可很多人都知道的生活的真实面目：你在哪里生活决定了你人生的机会,大部分时候都是这样。 
[01:02.50]In some cities,kids living just blocks apart lead incredibly different lives. 	在一些城市,在不同社区生活的孩子最后的命运完全不同。 
[01:07.20]They go to different schools,play in different parks,shop in different stores,and walk down different streets. 	他们在不同的学校上学,在不同的公园玩耍,在不同的商店购物,在不同的街道上走过。 
[01:14.45]And often,the quality of those schools and the safety of those parks and streets are far from equal-which means those kids aren't getting an equal shot in life. 	通常的情况是,这些学校的质量,以及这些公园、街道的安全性都是完全不同等级的。 这就意味着这些孩子的人生机会是各不相同的。 
[01:23.86]That runs against the values we hold dear as Americans. 	这与我们作为美国人所信奉的理想是背道而驰的。 
[01:28.74]In this country,of all countries,a person's zip code shouldn't decide their destiny. 	在这个国家,以及所有其他国家,一个人的住所地不应该成为这个人的命运的决定因素。 
[01:34.20]We don't guarantee equal outcomes,but we do strive to guarantee an equal shot at opportunity-in every neighborhood,for every American. 	我们不能保证大家有公平的结果,但我们一定要努力保证大家有公平的机会,对每个社区,每个人都一样。 
[01:43.32]Now,the Fair Housing Act also says that this isn't the responsibility of a landlord alone-local governments have a role to play,too. 	按照《公平住房法》的规定,这不仅仅是房主的责任,也是地方政府的责任。 
[01:51.29]That's why,this week,my Administration announced that we'll make it easier for communities to implement this law. 	因此,本周,本届政府宣布了一项新政策,让社会各界更好利用该法。 
[01:57.66]We're using data on housing and neighborhood conditions to help cities identify the areas that need the most help. 	通过对住房和社区环境数据的分析,我们帮助各个城市找到最需要扶持的区域。 
[02:03.78]We're doing more to help communities meet their own goals. 	进一步帮助社区实现发展目标。 
[02:07.58]Plus,by opening this data to everybody,everyone in a community-not just elected officials-can weigh in. 	此外,通过对大众开放这一数据,除了社区官员以外,社区的每个人,都可以参与进来。 
[02:14.50]If you want a bus stop added near your home,or more affordable housing nearby,now you'll have the data you need to make your case. 	如果你希望在你家附近增设公交站点,或者在附近增加价格合理的房源,现在你就可以使用这些数据,来达成你的愿望。 
[02:22.21]These actions won't make every community perfect. 	当然,这些措施并不能确保每个社区都发展的很完美。 
[02:24.86]That's something we all have to strive for in our own lives. 	但这是我们人生当中应该为之奋斗的事情。 
[02:27.77]But they will help make our communities stronger and more vibrant. 	这将使得我们的社区更美好,更有活力。 
[02:32.20]And they'll help keep this a country where kids from every background can grow up knowing that no matter who you are,what you look like,or where you live,you can write your own story. 	将让这个国家更美好,让有着不同成长背景的孩子长大后都理解这一点：无论你是谁,长的是什么样子,在哪里住,你都有机会书写自己的历史。 
[02:43.46]That's the America I love. And it's the America I'll keep fighting for. 	这就是我们深爱的美国,也是我们要为之奋斗的美国。 
[02:47.97]Thanks,and have a great weekend. 	谢谢大家,祝大家周末愉快！
