美国的中期选举即将要到来了，这次选举关乎民主党派是否能重新掌权和掌权后是否会对特朗普进行弹劾的重要问题。而现在的美国的年轻人总是只看重总统选举，而对中期选举鲜少关心。
对此，奥巴马喊话年轻人，如果你仍然不认为中期选举会影响到你，那么就大错特错了！中期选举的结果会关乎到整个国家大多数人的利益。作为美国的未来，所有年轻人都应该重视自己的选票！
We're in a urgent time.
We've seen basic norms and and principles that have served us well for decades increasingly violated.
Not to mention policies that have further skewed towards the wealthy and powerful.
I'm here at the campus of university Illinois in Champaign Urbana talking to young people about why this election matters.
And obviously a lot of them are reading the headlines and trying to figure out what in the heck has happened to our government.
But what I've told them is they shouldn't be discouraged.
They gotta step up and vote.
You know young people historically vote at much lower levels especially during midterm elections meaning elections where a presidential race isn't at issue.
And in 2014 which was the last midterm election, only one in five young people who were eligible to vote.
One in five, which means that you get a Congress that is not representative of the interests of the majority of the people in this country.
