First inaugural Address (Franklin D. Roosevelt) Mar. 4, 1933. 我们唯一不得不害怕的就是害怕本身 1933.3.4 富兰克林罗斯福 Brief introduction to the speaker: Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) Roosevelt became president in 1933. The United States was then in the grip of a world-wide business depression. Roosevelt used his powers to create jobs and to help those who needed helps. Many of Roosevelt's ideas of government are still part of the law of the land. 演讲者简介： 罗斯福在1933年成为总统。当时美国正陷于世界性的经济危机之中。罗斯福以他的能力为人民创造就业机会并带去援助。罗斯福的许事施政观点至今仍是美国治国方针的一部分。 This is a day of national consecration, and I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction in the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impeIs. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly Nor need we shrink from honestly facing the conditions facing our country today This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper So first of all, let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, un justified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. 胡佛总统，首席法官先生，朋友们： 今天，对我们的国家来说，是一个神圣的日子。我肯定，同胞们都期待我在就任总统时，会像我国目前形势所要求的那样，坦率而果断地向他们讲话。现在正是坦白、勇敢地说出实话，说出全部实话的最好时刻。我们不必畏首畏尾，不老老实实面对我国今天的情况。这个伟大的国家会一如既往地坚持下去，它会复兴和繁荣起来。因此，让我首先表明我的坚定信念：我们唯一不得不害怕的就是害怕本身--一种莫名其妙、丧失理智的、毫无根据的恐惧，它把人转退为进所需的种种努力化为泡影。凡在我国生活阴云密布的时刻，坦率而有活力的领导都得到过人民的理解和支持，从而为胜利准备了必不可少的条件。我相信，在目前危急时刻，大家会再次给予同样的支持。 In such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunken to fantastic levels; taxes have risen, our ability to pay has fallen, government of all kinds is faced by serious curtaiIment of income, the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side, farmers find no markets for their produce, and the savings of many years and thousands of families are gone. 我和你们都要以这种精神，来面对我们共同的困难。感谢上帝，这些困难只是物质方面的。价值难以想象地贬缩了；课税增加了；我们的支付能力下降了；各级政府面临着严重的收入短缺；交换手段在贸易过程中遭到了冻结；工业企业枯萎的落叶到处可见；农场主的产品找不到销路；千家万户多年的积蓄付之东流。 More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equal and great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. 更重要的是，大批失业公民正面临严峻的生存问题，还有大批公民正以艰辛的劳动换取微薄的报酬。只有愚蠢的乐天派会否认当前这些阴暗的现实。 And yet, our distress comes from no failure of substance, we are stricken by no plagUe of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered, because they believed and were not afraid, we have so much to be thankful for Nature surrounds us with her bounty and human, efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. 但是，我们的苦恼决不是因为缺乏物资。我们没有遭到什么蝗虫的灾害。我们的先辈曾以信念和无畏一次次转危为安，比起他们经历过的险阻，我们仍大可感到欣慰。大自然仍在给予我们恩惠，人类的努力已使之倍增。富足的情景近在咫尺，但就在我们见到这种 情景的时候，宽裕的生活却悄然离去。这主要是因为主宰人类物资交换的统治者们失败了，他们固执己见而又无能为力，因而已经认定失败了，并撒手不管了。贪得无厌的货币兑换商的种种行径。将受到舆论法庭的起诉，将受到人类心灵理智的唾弃。 True, they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the patten of an outworn tradition. Faced by a failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money Stripped of the lure of profit by which they induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortation, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They only know the rules of a generation of self seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision, the people perish. 是的，他们是努力过，然而他们用的是一种完全过时的方法。面对信贷的失败，他们只是提议借出更多的钱。没有了当诱饵引诱 人民追随他们的错误领导的金钱，他们只得求助于讲道，含泪祈求人民重新给予他们信心。他们只知自我追求者们的处世规则。他们没有眼光，而没有眼光的人是要灭亡的。 Yes, the money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civiIization. We may now restore that temp1e to the ancient truths. A measure of that restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social value, more noble than mere monetary profits. 如今，货币兑换商已从我们文明庙宇的高处落荒而逃。我们要以千古不变的真理来重建这座庙宇。衡量这重建的尺度是我们体现比金钱利益更高尚的社会价值的程度。 Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to, but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men. 幸福并不在于单纯地占有金钱；幸福还在于取得成就后的喜悦，在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励，而去疯狂地追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些暗淡的时日能使我们认识到，我们真正的天命不是要别人侍奉，而是为自己和同胞们服务，那么，我们付出的代价就完全是值得的。 Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of a false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profits, and there must be an end to our conduct in banking and in business, which too of ten has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrong-doing. Small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty on honon on the sacredness of our obligation, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live. 认识到把物质财富当作成功的标准是错误的，我们就会抛弃以地位尊严和个人收益为唯一标准，来衡量公职和高级政治地位的错误信念；我们必须制止银行界和企业界的一种行为，它常常使神圣的委托混同于无情和自私的不正当行为。难怪信心在减弱，信心，只有靠诚实、信誉、忠心维护和无私履行职责。而没有这些，就不可能有信心。 Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This nation is asking for action, and action now. 但是，复兴不仅仅只要改变伦理观念。这个国家要求行动起来，现在就行动起来。 Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we take it wise1y and courageously It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our great natural resources. 我们最大、最基本的任务是让人民投入工作。只要我信行之以智慧和勇气，这个问题就可以解决。这可以部分由政府直接征募完成，就象对待临战的紧要关头一样，但同时，在有了人手的情况下，我们还急需能刺激并重组巨大自然资源的工程。 Hand in hand with that, we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution in an effort to provide better use of the land for those best fitted for the land. 我们齐心协力，但必须坦白地承认工业中心的人口失衡，我们必须在全国范围内重新分配，使土地在最适合的人手中发表挥更大作用。 Yes the task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the value of the agricultural product and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities. It can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing losses through fore closures of our small homes and our farms. It can be helped by insistence that the federal, the state, and the local government act forthwith on the demands that their costs be drastically reduce. It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are of ten scattered, uneconomical, unequal. It can be helped by national planning for, and supervision of all forms of transportation, and of communications, and other utilities that have a definitely public character. There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped by mere1y talking about it. We must act, we must act quickly. 明确地为提高农产品价值并以此购买城市产品所做的努力，会有助于任务的完成。避免许多小家庭业、农场业被取消赎取抵押品的权利的悲剧也有助于任务的完成。联邦、州、各地政府立即行动回应要求降价的呼声，有助于任务的完成。将现在常常是分散不经济、不平等的救济活动统一起来有助于任务的完成。对所有公共交通运输，通讯及其他涉及公众生活的设施作全国性的计划及监督有助于任务的完成。许多事情都有助于任务完成，但这些决不包括空谈。我们必须行动，立即行动。 And finally in our progress toward a resumption of work, we require two safeguards against the return of the evils of the old order; there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people-s money; and there must be provisions for an adequate but sound currency. 最后，为了重新开始工作，我们需要两手防御，来抗御旧秩序恶魔卷土从来；一定要有严格监督银行业、信贷及投资的机制：一定要杜绝投机；一定要有充足而健康的货币供应。 These, my friends, are the lines of attack. I shall presently urge upon a new Congress in special session, detailed measures for their fulfillment, and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the 48 states. 以上这些，朋友们，就是施政方针。我要在特别会议上敦促新国会给予详细实施方案，并且，我要向48个州请求立即的援助。 Through this program of action, we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order, and making income balance outflow Our international trade relations, though vastly important, are in point of time and necessity secondary to the establishment of a sound national economy I favor as a practical policy the putting of first things first. I shall spare no effort to restore world trade by international economic readjustment, but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishment. 通过行动，我们将予以我们自己一个有秩序的国家大厦，使收入大于支出。我们的国际贸易，虽然很重要，但现在在时间和必要性上，次于对本国健康经济的建立。我建议，作为可行的策略、首要事务先行。虽然我将不遗余力通过国际经济重新协调所来恢复国际贸易，但我认为国内的紧急情况无法等待这重新协调的完成。 The basic thought that guides these specific means of national recovery is not narrowly nationalistic. It is the insistence, as a first consideration upon the inter-dependence of the various elements in all parts of the United States of America - a recognition of the old and the permanently important manifestation of the American spirit of the pioneer. It is the way to recovery it is the immediate way it is the strongest assurance that recovery will endure. 指导这一特别的全国性复苏的基本思想并非狭隘的国家主义。我首先考虑的是坚持美国这一整体中各部分的相互依赖性--这是对美国式的开拓精神的古老而永恒的证明的体现。这才是复苏之路，是即时之路，是保证复苏功效持久之路。 In the field of world policy I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor. The neighbor who resolutely respects himself, and because he does so, respects the rights of others. The neighbor who respects his ob1igation, and respects the sanctity of his agreement, in and with, a world of neighbor. 在国际政策方面，我将使美国采取睦邻友好的政策。做一个决心自重，因此而尊重邻国的国家。做一个履行义务，尊重与他国协约的国家。 If I read the temper of our people correctly we now realize what we have never realized before, our inter-dependence on each other, that we cannot merely take, but we must give as well. That if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discip1ine, no progress can be made, no leadership becomes effective. We are all ready and willing to submit our lives and our property to such discipline because it makes possible a 1eadership which aims at the larger good. This, I propose to offet we are going to larger purposes, bind upon us, bind upon us all, as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in times of armed strife. 如果我对人民的心情的了解正确的话，我想我们已认识到了我们从未认识的问题，我们是互相依存的，我们不可以只索取，我们还必须奉献。我们前进时，必须象一支训练有素的忠诚的军队，愿意为共同的原则而献身，因为，没有这些原则，就无法取得进步，领导就不可能得力。我们都已做好准备，并愿意为此原则献出生命和财产，因为这将使志在建设更美好社会的领导成为可能。我倡议，为了更伟大的目标，我们所有的人，以一致的职责紧紧团结起来。这是神圣的义务，非战乱，不停止。 With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly, the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems. Action in this image, action to this end, is feasible under the form of government which we have inherited from my ancestors. Our constitution is so simple, so practical, that it is possible always, to meet extraordinary needs, by changes in emphasis and arrangements without loss of a central form, that is why our constitutional system has proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the modern world has ever seen. It has met every stress of vast expansion of territory of foreign wars, of bitter internal strife, of world relations. 有了这样的誓言，我将毫不犹豫地承担领导伟大人民大军的任务，致力于对我们普遍问题的强攻。这样的行动，这样的目标，在我们从祖先手中接过的政府中是可行的。我们的宪法如此简单，实在。它随时可以应付特殊情况，只需对重点和安排加以修改而不丧失中心思想，正因为如此，我们的宪法体制已自证为是最有适应性的政治体制。它已应付过巨大的国土扩张、外战、内乱及国际关系所带来的压力。 And it is to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and legislative authority wi1l be fully equal, fully adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us. But it may be that an unprecedented demand and need for underlay action may call for temporary departure from that normal balance of public procedure. 而我们还希望行使法律的人士做到充分的平等，能充分地担负前所未有的任务。但现在前所未有的对紧急行动的需要要求国民暂时丢弃平常生活节奏，紧迫起来。 We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of national unity in the clearest consciousness of seeking all and precious moral values, with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike, we aim at the assurance of a rounded, a permanent national life. 让我们正视面前的严峻岁月，怀着举国一致给我们带来的热情和勇气，怀着寻求传统的、珍贵的道德观念的明确意识，怀着老老少少都能通过克尽职守而得到的问心无愧的满足。我们的目标是要保证国民生活的圆满和长治久安。 We do not distrust the future of essential democracy The people of the United States have not failed. In their need, they have registered a mandate that they want direct, vigorous action. They have asked for discipline, and direction under leadership, they have made me the present instrument of their wishes. In the spirit of the gift, I take it. 我们并不怀疑基本民主制度的未来。合众国人民并没有失败。他们在困难中表达了自己的委托，即要求采取直接而有力的行动。他们要求有领导的纪律和方向。他们现在选择了我作为实现他们的愿望的工具。我接受这份厚赠。 In this dedication, in this dedication of a nation, we humbly ask the b1essings of God, may He protect each and every one of us, may He guide me in the days to come. 在此举国奉献之际，我们谦卑地请求上帝赐福。愿上帝保信我们大家和每一个人，愿上帝在未来的日子里指引我。

美国总统布什感恩节讲话 THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.As Americans gather to celebrate this week, we show our gratitude for the many blessings in our lives. We are grateful for our friends and families who fill our lives with purpose and love. We're grateful for our beautiful country, and for the prosperity we enjoy. We're grateful for the chance to live, work and worship in freedom. And in this Thanksgiving week, we offer thanks and praise to the provider of all these gifts, Almighty God.We also recognize our duty to share our blessings with the least among us. Throughout the holiday season, schools, churches, synagogues and other generous organizations gather food and clothing for their neighbors in need. Many young people give part of their holiday to volunteer at homeless shelters or food pantries. On Thanksgiving, and on every day of the year, America is a more hopeful nation because of the volunteers who serve the weak and the vulnerable. The Thanksgiving tradition of compassion and humility dates back to the earliest days of our society. And through the years, our deepest gratitude has often been inspired by the most difficult times. Almost four centuries ago, the pilgrims set aside time to thank God after suffering through a bitter winter. George Washington held Thanksgiving during a trying stay at Valley Forge. And President Lincoln revived the Thanksgiving tradition in the midst of a civil war. The past year has brought many challenges to our nation, and Americans have met every one with energy, optimism and faith. After lifting our economy from a recession, manufacturers and entrepreneurs are creating jobs again. Volunteers from across the country came together to help hurricane victims rebuild. And when the children of Beslan, Russia suffered a brutal terrorist attack, the world saw America's generous heart in an outpouring of compassion and relief. The greatest challenges of our time have come to the men and women who protect our nation. We're fortunate to have dedicated firefighters and police officers to keep our streets safe. We're grateful for the homeland security and intelligence personnel who spend long hours on faithful watch. And we give thanks to the men and women of our military who are serving with courage and skill, and making our entire nation proud. Like generations before them, today's armed forces have liberated captive peoples and shown compassion for the suffering and delivered hope to the oppressed. In the past year, they have fought the terrorists abroad so that we do not have to face those enemies here at home. They've captured a brutal dictator, aided last month's historic election in Afghanistan, and help set Iraq on the path to democracy. Our progress in the war on terror has made our country safer, yet it has also brought new burdens to our military families. Many servicemen and women have endured long deployments and painful separations from home. Families have faced the challenge of raising children while praying for a loved one's safe return. America is grateful to all our military families, and the families mourning a terrible loss this Thanksgiving can know that America will honor their sacrifices forever. As Commander-in-Chief, I've been honored to thank our troops at bases around the world, and I've been inspired by the efforts of private citizens to express their own gratitude. This month, I met Shauna Fleming, a 15-year-old from California who coordinated the mailing of a million thank you letters to military personnel. In October, I met Ken Porwoll, a World War II veteran who has devoted years of his retirement to volunteering at a VA medical center in Minneapolis. And we've seen the generosity of so many organizations, like Give2theTroops, a group started in a basement by a mother and son that has sent thousands of care packages to troops in the field. Thanksgiving reminds us that America's true strength is the compassion and decency of our people. I thank all those who volunteer this season, and Laura and I wish every American a happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend. Thank you for listening.总统:早上好. 由于美国人聚集庆贺本周,我们表示感激,为许多祝福我们的生活. 我们感谢我们的朋友和家人吃饱宗旨,热爱生命. 我们感谢美丽的国家,我们享有的繁荣. 我们感谢有机会安居乐业,崇拜自由. 在这感恩节周末,我们给予感谢和赞扬提供所有这些礼物,全能的上帝. 我们也承认我们的责任,分享我们用最少的祝福在心头. 整个节日、学校、教堂、犹太教堂和其他组织收集慷慨邻居温饱需要. 很多年轻人给自己的部分假期,在无家可归者收容所或食物茶房志愿者. 感恩节和每天的一年 美国是一个更加充满希望的民族,因为义工服务弱势社群. 同情心和谦卑感恩的传统最早可以追溯到天的栋梁. 经过这些年来,我们非常感谢一直鼓舞最困难的时候. 近4个世纪前,香客拨冗感谢上帝透过苦难之后寒冬. 乔治华盛顿举行感恩节期间留在山谷奋发努力. 林肯总统恢复了传统的感恩节,在一片内战. 过去一年来我国带来许多挑战,每一个美国人都以满足能源、 乐观与信心. 解除后,由香港经济不景气,厂商和企业家创造就业机会. 来自全国各地的志愿者一起,帮助飓风灾民重建. 当孩子斯兰俄罗斯遭受恐怖袭击的残酷、 全世界看到美国的慷慨与慈悲心的流露救济. 我们时代的最大挑战来保护我们的民族男男女女. 我们有幸拥有专用消防队员和警察维持街头安全. 我们感激祖国安全和情报人员,花大量时间在忠实守望. 让我们感谢我们的男女人士,担任军事勇气和技巧, 使我们整个民族自豪. 像前几代人, 今天的部队俘虏民族解放和慈悲的表现,希望被压迫的苦难,并发表. 在过去的一年里, 他们在国外的恐怖分子战斗,使我们不再是敌人,这里要面对在家. 许久被俘残暴独裁者,资助上个月的历史性选举阿富汗 并协助成立伊拉克走上民主. 我们的反恐战争的进展,使我国成为更安全、 但它也给我们带来了新的负担军家属. 许多军人和妇女长期忍受痛苦的部署和离职出走. 家庭养育子女而面临亲人祈祷平安回国. 美国感谢所有的军事家庭 家属表示哀悼和感恩才能知道这个可怕的损失,美国都永远荣誉牺牲. 作为总司令,我倒是很荣幸地感谢我们的部队在世界各地的基地, 我已经被启发公民个人的努力表达自己的谢意. 这个月,我见过shauna菲林明, 一名15岁的加州人协调,寄发信件谢谢万军人. 10月份,我见到porwoll垦、 二战的老战士,他倾注了多年的退休专家志愿在明尼苏达医学中心. 我们看见了那么多团体慷慨解囊,像give2thetroops, 一群在地下室开始了母子保健包,已派遣数千名部队在外地. 感恩节提醒我们,美国的实力是我国人民的同情和礼仪. 我感谢所有义工这个季节 劳拉和我想每一个美国人的安全、快乐感恩节周末. 谢谢你听.

今天，我演讲用的语言不是我的母语，但在我的心中，这种语言已经成为了我的第二母语。她为我打开一扇体验新世界的门，一扇观察新世界的窗。她让我可以挣大我的双眼，从一个全新的角度来看待这个世界。语言真的是一项宝贵的财富。当我们与自己的朋友家人在自己的国家里，用我们熟悉的本国语言随心所欲地交流时，我们可能并没有认识到语言的重要性。但是，正是语言让我们可以互相交流，互相学习。这一点在南大-霍大中美中心得到了最好的证明。 当我美国的老师和朋友问我中心的生活怎么样时，他们不可避免地会问一个问题：“你的中文有进步吗？”我常常不知道该怎么回答这个问题，因为答案很复杂。在中心，国际学生的目标语言是汉语，尤其是普通话，中国学生的目标语言是英语，尤其是美式英语。但是，好像我们大多数人都没有能很好地实现这个目标。因为在中心，我们都在讲着同一种特殊的语言：中心语言。因此，我告诉我美国的老师，我不知道我的普通话有没有进步，但是我的中心语言非常流利。 来到中心的第一天，我们的世界里就同时夹杂着中文和英文。黄主任和杨主任给我们做报告，但他们完全不需要翻译！整个报告厅里都是至少能说两种语言的人。我们与室友谈话时，中文夹着英文，英文中有着中文。每一种语言都不会使用超过五分钟。午餐时激情洋溢的辩论，中心人乐在其中，外人可能就要花一段时间来听明白了。在不知不觉中，美国学生说英语的时候似乎也不能摆脱中文了。例如，When you 碰到 a really 麻烦 situation, it’s just… 麻烦。春假时，有同学的美国朋友来中心，但一开始他们完全听不明白中心美国同学间的谈话，因为这种谈话里已经有着深深地中心语言的烙印。 但这种双语的环境意义远远不在于它很好玩。来中心的客人往往惊诧于中心有多么特别。这就是中心特别的原因，在我们用多种语言交流的时候，我们开始真正理解对方。任何只说一种语言的人是难以想象我们在一起是如何交流的。正由于此，我们可以更深刻、更全面地去评价和思考他人的价值观。这并不是说我们的观点是一致的，恰恰相反，分歧永远存在。或者说，正是因为互相了解，我们才能发现更多的不同。但是互相理解和尊重是共同努力解决这些不同的关键，在分歧的基础上实现一致。或许如中国的那句古话所说“和而不同”。当我们在学习他国的政治经济文化法律的时候，我们永远不应该忘记，不管我们学了多少理论，背了多少公式，我们都要和彼此交流。不管我们认为自己是多么正确，我们应该去努力理解他人。而达到这个目标的最好方式就是说对方的语言。 我对中心的最初的了解就是中心希望将来美国的国务卿和中国的外交部长都是中心的校友。我敢打赌，他们将来见面的时候，一定在说着一种共同的语言：中心语言。 谢谢大家。Today, my speech with language is not my mother tongue, but in my heart, this language has become my second language. Her for me to opengate experience new world of door, a door to observe the new window. She let I could earn a self's eyes, from a new perspective on the world. Language really is a valuable wealth. When we with their friends and family in his own country, by our familiar national language follow one's inclinationsly exchange, we may not realize the importance of language. However, it is the language that we can communicate with each other and learn from each other. This point in ntu - huo big sino-us center got the best proof. When I American teachers and friends asked me about life, center they will inevitably ask a question: "you of the Chinese have progress?" I often don't know how to answer this question, because the answer is very complex. International students in the center, the target language is Chinese, especially mandarin, Chinese students in the target language is English, especially American English. But, like most of us are not can well realize this goal. Because in the center, we are talking about the same kind of special language: center language. So, I told my American teacher, I don't know if my mandarin if any progress, but my center language very fluently. Come into the center of the first day, our world will also mingled with Chinese and English. Huang director and Yang director to give us a report, but they do not need a translator! The whole reporting hall is at least can speak two languages. Our conversation with a roommate, Chinese clip, English has a Chinese. Each language has not use more than five minutes. Lunch is full of excitement of debate, center, stranger may be people enjoy it takes a while to get it. Unconsciously, American students speak English also seems to cannot be rid of Chinese. For example, you encounter a painters amongst situation, it 's trouble match... Trouble. Spring break, some classmates of American friends come to center, but at first they completely couldn't understand center American classmates conversation, because this kind of deep in conversation already has a center of language mark. But this bilingual environment far lies not in it is fun. To center the guests often wonder at center how special. This is center in our special reason, with a variety of language exchange, we start to really understand each other. Any only say a language people are hard to imagine that we together is how exchanges. Because of this, we can more deeply, more comprehensively to evaluate and think others values. This is not to say that our point of view is consistent, on the contrary, differences exist forever. Or, it is precisely because understand each other, we can find more different. But mutual understanding and respect is joint efforts to solve these different key, in differences on the basis of realizing consistent. Perhaps such as China that old sayings said "and different". When we study other countries in politics, economy, culture, law, we should never forget that no matter how much we learn how much formula theory, back, we must all and talk to each other. No matter how we think we are correct, we should go trying to understand others. And to achieve this goal is the best way to say their own language. I know the original of center is the center of the United States secretary of state and in future, China's foreign minister is center of the alumni. I bet they will meet, must be in speaks a common language: center language. Thank you all.

乔治·沃克·布什，是美国第43任总统(第54-55届)。那么你想知道美国总统小布什在就职时是怎么发言的？以下是我给大家分享了美国总统小布什就职演说中英文，希望大家有帮助。
尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官，卡特总统，布什总统，克林顿总统，
尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们，
这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国是平常的。
我们以朴素的宣誓庄严地维护了古老的传统，同时开始了新的历程。
首先，我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家作出的贡献，也感谢副总统
戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与风度。
站在这里，我很荣幸，也有点受宠若惊。在我之前，许多美国
领导人从这里起步;在我之后，也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。
在美国悠久的历史中，我们每个人都有自己的位置;我们还在
继续推动着历史前进，但是我们不可能看到它的尽头。这是一部新世界的发展史，是一部后浪推前浪的历史。这是一部美国由奴隶制社会发展成为崇尚自由的社会的历史。这是一个强国保护而不是占有世界的历史，是捍卫而不是征服世界的历史。这就是美国史。它不是一部十全十美的民族发展史，但它是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的历史。
这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺，这就是：每个人都有自身的价值，每个人都有成功的机会，每个人天生都会有所作为的。美国人民肩负着一种使命，那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退，但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。
在上个世纪的大部分时间里，美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。现在它更像风中的种子，把自由带给每个民族。在我们的国家，民主不仅仅是一种信念，而是全人类的希望。民主，我们不会独占，而会竭力让大家分享。民主，我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。225年过去了，我们仍有很长的路要走。
有很多公民取得了成功，但也有人开始怀疑，怀疑我们自己的国家所许下的诺言，甚至怀疑它的公正。失败的 教育 ，潜在的偏见和出身的环境限制了一些美国人的雄心。有时，我们的分歧是如此之深，似乎我们虽身处同一个大陆，但不属于同一个国家。我们不能接受这种分歧，也无法容许它的存在。我们的团结和统一，是每一代领导人和每一个公民的严肃使命。在此，我郑重宣誓：我将竭力建设一个公正、充满机会的统一国家。我知道这是我们的目标，因为上帝按自己的身形创造了我们，上帝高于一切的力量将引导我们前进。
对这些将我们团结起来并指引我们向前的原则，我们充满信心。血缘、出身或地域从未将美国联合起来。只有理想，才能使我们心系一处，超越自己，放弃个人利益，并逐步领会何谓公民。每个孩子都必须学习这些原则。每个公民都必须坚持这些原则。每个移民，只有接受这些原则，才能使我们的国家不丧失而更具美国特色。
今天，我们在这里重申一个新的信念，即通过发扬谦恭、勇气、同情心和个性的精神来实现我们国家的理想。美国在它最鼎盛时也没忘记遵循谦逊有礼的原则。一个文明的社会需要我们每个人品质优良，尊重他人，为人公平和宽宏大量。
有人认为我们的政治制度是如此的微不足道，因为在和平年代，我们所争论的话题都是无关紧要的。但是，对我们美国来说，我们所讨论的问题从来都不是什么小事。如果我们不领导和平事业，那么和平将无人来领导;如果我们不引导我们的孩子们真心地热爱知识、发挥个性，他们的天分将得不到发挥，理想将难以实现。如果我们不采取适当 措施 ，任凭经济衰退，最大的受害者将是平民百姓。
我们应该时刻听取时代的呼唤。谦逊有礼不是战术也不是感情用事。这是我们最坚定的选择--在批评声中赢得信任;在混乱中寻求统一。如果遵循这样的承诺，我们将会享有共同的成就。
美国有强大的国力作后盾，将会勇往直前。
在大萧条和战争时期，我们的人民在困难面前表现得无比英勇，克服我们共同的困难体现了我们共同的优秀品质。现在，我们正面临着选择，如果我们作出正确的选择，祖辈一定会激励我们;如果我们的选择是错误的，祖辈会谴责我们的。上帝正眷顾着这个国家，我们必须显示出我们的勇气，敢于面对问题，而不是将它们遗留给我们的后代。
我们要共同努力，健全美国的学校教育，不能让无知和冷漠吞噬更多的年轻生命。我们要改革社会医疗和 保险 制度，在力所能及的范围内拯救我们的孩子。我们要减低税收，恢复经济，酬劳辛勤工作的美国人民。我们要防患于未然，懈怠会带来麻烦。我们还要阻止武器泛滥，使新的世纪摆脱恐怖的威胁。
反对自由和反对我们国家的人应该明白：美国仍将积极参与国际事务，力求世界力量的均衡，让自由的力量遍及全球。这是历史的选择。我们会保护我们的盟国，捍卫我们的利益。我们将谦逊地向世界人民表示我们的目标。我们将坚决反击各种侵略和不守信用的行径。我们要向全世界宣传孕育了我们伟大民族的价值观。
正处在鼎盛时期的美国也不缺乏同情心。
当我们静心思考，我们就会明了根深蒂固的贫穷根本不值得我国作出承诺。无论我们如何看待贫穷的原因，我们都必须承认，孩子敢于冒险不等于在犯错误。放纵与滥用都为上帝所不容。这些都是缺乏爱的结果。监狱数量的增长虽然看起来是有必要的，但并不能代替我们心中的希望-人人遵纪守法。
哪里有痛苦，我们的义务就在哪里。对我们来说，需要帮助的美国人不是陌生人，而是我们的公民;不是负担，而是急需救助的对象。当有人陷入绝望时，我们大家都会因此变得渺小。
对公共安全和大众健康，对民权和学校教育，政府都应负有极大的责任。然而，同情心不只是政府的职责，更是整个国家的义务。有些需要是如此的迫切，有些伤痕是如此的深刻，只有导师的爱抚、牧师的祈祷才能有所感触。不论是教堂还是慈善机构、犹太会堂还是清真寺，都赋予了我们的社会它们特有的人性，因此它们理应在我们的建设和法律上受到尊重。
我们国家的许多人都不知道贫穷的痛苦。但我们可以听到那些感触颇深的人们的倾诉。我发誓我们的国家要达到一种境界：当我们看见受伤的行人倒在远行的路上，我们决不会袖手旁观。
正处于鼎盛期的美国重视并期待每个人担负起自己的责任。
鼓励人们勇于承担责任不是让人们充当替罪羊，而是对人的良知的呼唤。虽然承担责任意味着牺牲个人利益，但是你能从中体会到一种更加深刻的成就感。
我们实现人生的完整不单是通过摆在我们面前的选择，而且是通过我们的实践来实现。我们知道，通过对整个社会和我们的孩子们尽我们的义务，我们将得到最终自由。
我们的公共利益依赖于我们独立的个性;依赖于我们的公民义务，家庭纽带和基本的公正;依赖于我们无数的、默默无闻的体面行动，正是它们指引我们走向自由。
在生活中，有时我们被召唤着去做一些惊天动地的事情。但是，正如我们时代的一位圣人所言，每一天我们都被召唤带着挚爱去做一些小事情。一个民主制度最重要的任务是由大家每一个人来完成的。
我为人处事的原则包括：坚信自己而不强加于人，为公众的利益勇往直前，追求正义而不乏同情心，勇担责任而决不推卸。我要通过这一切，用我们历史上传统价值观来哺育我们的时代。
(同胞们)，你们所做的一切和政府的工作同样重要。我希望你们不要仅仅追求个人享受而忽略公众的利益;要捍卫既定的改革措施，使其不会轻易被攻击;要从身边小事做起，为我们的国家效力。我希望你们成为真正的公民，而不是旁观者，更不是臣民。你们应成为有责任心的公民，共同来建设一个互帮互助的社会和有特色的国家。
美国人民慷慨、强大、体面，这并非因为我们信任我们自己，而是因为我们拥有超越我们自己的信念。一旦这种公民精神丧失了，无论何种政府计划都无法弥补它。一旦这种精神出现了，无论任何错误都无法抗衡它。
在《独立宣言》签署之后，弗吉尼亚州的政治家约翰·佩齐曾给托马斯·杰弗逊写信说："我们知道，身手敏捷不一定就能赢得比赛，力量强大不一定就能赢得战争。难道这一切不都是上帝安排的吗?"
杰斐逊就任总统的那个年代离我们已经很远了。时光飞逝，美国发生了翻天覆地的变化。但是有一点他肯定能够预知，即我们这个时代的主题仍然是：我们国家无畏向前的恢宏 故事 和它追求尊严的纯朴梦想。
我们不是这个故事的作者，是杰斐逊作者本人的伟大理想穿越时空，并通过我们每天的努力在变为现实。我们正在通过大家的努力在履行着各自的职责。
带着永不疲惫、永不气馁、永不完竭的信念，今天我们重树这样的目标：使我们的国家变得更加公正、更加慷慨，去验证我们每个人和所有人生命的尊严。
这项工作必须继续下去。这个故事必须延续下去。上帝会驾驭我们航行的。
愿上帝保佑大家!愿上帝保佑美国!
Following one of the most controversial presidential elections in United States history， newly elected president George W. Bush gave the following inaugural address on January 20， 2001， in Washington， D.C. After thanking his opponent in the election， Democratic vice president Al Gore，“for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace，” the Republican Bush went on to echo many of the themes of his campaign， including his philosophy of “compassionate conservatism.(温情保守主义)”
President Clinton， distinguished guests， and my fellow citizens， the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history， yet common in our country. With a simple oath， we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.
As I begin， I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.
And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.
I am honored and humbled to stand here， where so many of America's leaders have come before me， and so many will follow.
We have a place， all of us， in a long story—a story we continue， but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old， a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom， the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess， to defend but not to conquer.
It is the American story—a story of flawed and fallible people， united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.
The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs， that everyone deserves a chance， that no insignificant person was ever born.
Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted， and sometimes delayed， we must follow no other course.
Through much of the last century， America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind， taking root in many nations.
Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country， it is the inborn hope of our humanity， an ideal we carry but do not own， a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years， we have a long way yet to travel.
While many of our citizens prosper， others doubt the promise， even the justice， of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep， it seems we share a continent， but not a country.
We do not accept this， and we will not allow it. Our unity， our union， is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemn pledge： I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.
I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us equal in His image.
And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.
America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds， lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant， by embracing these ideals， makes our country more， not less， American.
Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility， courage， compassion， and character.
America， at its best， matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect， fair dealing and forgiveness.
Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because， in a time of peace， the stakes of our debates appear small.
But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom， it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character， we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline， the vulnerable will suffer most.
We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism， of community over chaos. And this commitment， if we keep it， is a way to shared accomplishment.
America， at its best， is also courageous.
Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war， when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.
Together， we will reclaim America's schools， before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.
We will reform Social Security and Medicare， sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes， to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.
We will build our defenses beyond challenge， lest weakness invite challenge.
We will confront weapons of mass destruction， so that a new century is spared new horrors.
The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake： America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice， shaping a balance of power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations， we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.
America， at its best， is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience， we know that deep， persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.
And whatever our views of its cause， we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God， they are failures of love.
And the proliferation of prisons， however necessary， is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.
Where there is suffering， there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers， they are citizens; not problems， but priorities. And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.
Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health， for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation， not just a government.
And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity， synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity， and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.
Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty， but we can listen to those who do.
And I can pledge our nation to a goal： When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho， we will not pass to the other side.
America， at its best， is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.
Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats， it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice， it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options， but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.
Our public interest depends on private character， on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness， on uncounted， unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.
Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said， every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.
I will live and lead by these principles： to advance my convictions with civility， to pursue the public interest with courage， to speak for greater justice and compassion， to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.
In all these ways， I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.
What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation， beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens： citizens， not spectators; citizens， not subjects; responsible citizens， building communities of service and a nation of character.
Americans are generous and strong and decent， not because we believe in ourselves， but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing， no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present， no wrong can stand against it.
After the Declaration of Independence was signed， Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson： “We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?”
Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know： our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.
We are not this story's author， who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty， and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.
Never tiring， never yielding， never finishing， we renew that purpose today， to make our country more just and generous， to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.
This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.
God bless you all， and God bless America.
