Hi, everybody. This Labor Day weekend, as we gather with family and friends, we'll also come together as a nation to honor some of our own - the working men and women of America who, across the generations, build this country up and help make us who we are today. On Monday, we'll celebrate that proud history. We'll pay tribute to the values working Americans embody - hard work; responsibility; sacrifice; looking out for one another. And we'll also need recommit ourselves to their cause; to securing for them a better bargain so that everyone who works hard in America has a chance to get ahead. You see, over the past four and a half years, we've fought our way back from the worst recession of our lifetimes. And thanks to the grit and resilience of the American people, we've begun to lay a foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.大家好。值此周末劳动节之际，我们将与家人和朋友欢聚，而作为一个国家，我们也将一起纪念世世代代生活在美国的土地上，建设这个国家并让我们取得今天这样的成就的所有男女劳动者。星期一我们将举国欢庆庆祝这一令人自豪的历史。我们将向勤劳、负责、忘我、有爱及奉献精神的劳动人民表达敬意。而我们也将敦促自己以他们为榜样，为他们争取更好的保障，让每一个努力付出的人都能有机会获得成功。经过四年半的努力，我们已经挫败了我们此生遭遇的最严重的经济衰退带来的冲击。而且多亏美国人民的坚韧顽强，我们已经为未来经济更强劲更持续的增长打下了良好的基础。
