American citizens have worked every job, every occupation, no matter what it might be – no matter how grueling, how challenging, or even how dangerous.
美國公民從事過每一項工作、每一種職業，無論它們可能是什么樣，無論它們多么艱苦、多么充滿挑戰、甚至具有危險。
They wash the windows on our tallest skyscrapers; they create works of art from burning fire and molten steel;
他們為美國最高的摩天大樓擦洗窗戶；他們用烈焰和鋼水創作藝術品；
they mine the earth and dive the ocean depths to bring energy into our cities and towns;
他們開采地下、潛入深海，把能源帶到我們的城市和小鎮；
they care for the sick, the elderly, and the wounded; and they lay the bricks, mortar, rebar, and concrete that give us places to live, to work, and to thrive.
他們照顧病患、老者和傷員；他們將磚塊、泥漿、鋼筋和混凝土層層摞起，為我們建設生活、工作、發展的地方。
Today, this is the message I want every young American to hear: there is dignity in every honest job, and there is nobility in every honest worker.
今天，有一條信息我希望每一位美國年輕人聽見：每項正當工作都是有尊嚴的，每位誠實的勞動者都是高尚的。
Our Apprenticeship Initiative will make it dramatically easier for employers,
我們的“學徒計劃”，會讓雇主，
industry groups and unions to create exciting new apprenticeship programs that place students into high-paying careers.
產業集群和工會極為輕松地建立令人興奮的新學徒計劃，以此將學生安置到高薪職業。
Instead of being racked with crushing student debt, those who participate will earn while they learn – think of that: earn while they learn.
學生不再遭受高額學貸的折磨，參與計劃的學生在校期間就能賺錢——想想看：在校期間就能賺錢。
