Every president learns in the course of your time in office, but the American people have the right to expect that you walk in the door prepared for the job.
每一位总统都会在你任职期间学到东西，但美国人民有权期望你为这份工作做好准备。
Married in 1983, separated in 1987, and divorced in 1988. Enough said.
1983年结婚，1987年分居，1988年离婚。
I don't play golf. I don't play basketball. I don't really like cards. I don't think anybody questions whether or not I have a role to play here. And so I think it is irrelevant whether the president wants to do that in some of his free time. What's really important is, when we have something to say, does he listen to us?
我不打高尔夫球。我不打篮球。我不太喜欢纸牌。我不认为有人会质疑我是否在这里扮演了一个角色。因此，我认为总统是否愿意在空闲时间这样做是无关紧要的。真正重要的是，当我们有话要说的时候，他会听我们说吗？
Working parents, working families, and expectant workers are vital members of our workforce. Ensuring their success is how we maintain our global economic advantage.
有工作的父母、有工作的家庭和准工人是我们劳动力的重要成员。确保他们的成功是我们保持全球经济优势的方式。
With women composing nearly half the American workforce and increasingly serving as the primary breadwinner for families, we can't afford to treat pregnant women differently than their counterparts, especially when slight job modifications could help them stay in the workforce at no risk to their health.
由于妇女占美国劳动力的近一半，并且越来越多地成为家庭的主要养家糊口者，我们不能对孕妇区别对待，尤其是当轻微的工作调整可以帮助她们在不危及健康的情况下留在劳动力市场时。
I vividly remember early on in my career when I was eight months pregnant, working literally around the clock, and worrying that each trip to the restroom or my need to catch the occasional catnap was causing my colleagues to question whether I could keep up.
我清楚地记得，在我职业生涯的早期，我怀孕8个月，日以继夜地工作，担心每次上厕所或偶尔小睡会让同事们怀疑我是否能跟上。
Nondiscrimination has been the law of the land for over three decades, yet, in some workplaces, the standard for treatment of pregnant women has remained in the dark ages. Some are fired or demoted, with no hesitation, when a modest accommodation would allow them to continue to work and support their families.
30多年来，不歧视一直是国家的法律，然而，在一些工作场所，孕妇的待遇标准仍然停留在黑暗时代。有些人毫不犹豫地被解雇或降职，因为只要有适当的住宿条件，他们就可以继续工作，养家糊口。
We have every confidence that people within the White House have behaved appropriately.
我们完全相信，白宫内部的人表现得很得体。
