英文版点击 因为太长了!!我的国民:我今天站在这,为我们眼前的任务感到谦卑,为你们给我的信任感激,为我们先人的牺牲不忘怀。我多谢乔治布什总统对国家的服务,以及他在整个权力过度过程展示的慷慨和合作。至今44位美国人宣读过总统誓词。这些言词在繁荣潮起、在和平的风平浪静中说过,但很多时候,誓词是在阴霾密布中宣读。美国在这些时刻挺下去,不止是因为在位者的技巧或视野,而是因为我们人民坚信先人的理想,信守我们的立国文献。过去如是,这一代美国人也如是。我们正身陷危机,现在大家都很清楚了。国家正在打仗,对抗一个广大的暴力和仇恨网络。我们的经济严重地衰弱,是部份人贪婪和不负责任的结果,也是因为我们集体失败,未能作出艰难的决定,为国家进入新纪元作好准备。很多家没有了,工作被裁了,企业倒闭了。我们的医疗费太贵,我们的学校有负于太多人,每天都有新证据显示,我们用能源的方法,令我们的敌人强大,又威胁我们的星球。这些都是危机的指针,有数据和统计。较难测量但同样影响深远的,是全国信心受重创,挥之不去的恐惧,担心美国衰落无可避免,担心下一代一定要降低期望。今日我向你们说,我们面对的挑战千真万确,很严重也很多,不能轻易解决,不能短时间解决,但美国知道:挑战一定会克服。这一天,我们聚首一堂,是因为我们选择希望,而非恐惧,选择目标一致,而不是冲突和争吵。这一天,我们来宣布结束埋怨、虚假承诺、指摘和过时的条,它们窒息我们的政治太久了。我们仍是一个年轻的国家,但正如《圣经》所说,是时候将孩子气放在一旁了。重申我们不灭精神的时候到了,去选取我们历史好的一面,去发扬那珍宝,那一代传一代的高尚理念:上帝承诺人人平等,人人自由,人人值得有机会追求快乐。当我们再次肯定我国的伟大,我们知道伟大从来不是天生,而是争取得来的。我们的旅程从来没有走快捷方式,从不退而求其次。这不是胆小的人之路,这条路不是给那些喜欢安逸多于工作、只追求名利之乐的人。这条路是给肯冒险的人、做实事的人、创造事物的人的。这些人有些得到颂扬,但多数都是默默耕耘,是他们带领我们通过那漫长崎岖之路,通往繁荣和自由。为了我们,他们收拾起仅有的财产,飘洋过海寻找新生命。为了我们,他们在血汗工厂辛勤工作,在西部安顿下来,忍受鞭打,开垦恶土。为了我们,他们战斗死亡,在康科德和葛底斯堡,在诺曼底和溪山。一次又一次,这些男男女女挣扎牺牲,干活至双手粗糙,要让我们可以活得更好。他们以美国为大,大于小我,大于因出身、财富或派系的分歧。今天我们延续这个旅程。我们仍是世上最富强的国家。我国工人的生产力,不输于危机开始的时候。还有我们脑袋的创造力不减,对我们货品和服务的需求,也不少于上周、上月或上一年。我们的能力并未衰减。但我们固守立场、保护狭隘利益和推迟作出不快决定的日子肯定已消逝。由今天开始,我们必须振作起来,拍掉身上的灰烟,再度开始重塑美国。因为无论我们放眼那,都有工作要做。现时的经济情况亟待果断而迅即行动,而我们会手——不仅是创造新职位,而且是为经济增长奠下新基础。我们将修桥筑路,铺设电缆网络和数码线路,以协助商业发展,也让我们紧密联系。我们会让科学重归正当地位,运用科技的奇,提高健康水平和减少医疗开支。我们会撷取太阳、风力和泥土,为汽车提供燃料,让工厂运作。我们更会改变中小学和大学,迎合新时代的需要。这些我们都做得到。而且我们会手去做。有些人质疑我们野心太大,他们说大计太多,政府应付不来。他们太善忘了。他们忘记了这国家的成绩;忘记了只要结合想象力和共同目标,结合需要和勇气,自由的人可以成就甚么事情。愤世疾俗之辈没法理解的是,他们的论据已站不住脚——那些烦扰我们多时的陈腐政治论据,已不再合用。我们今天要问的,并非政府是否太大或太小,而是能否做出成绩——能否帮助家庭找到薪金合理的工作,获得负担得起的医疗照顾,以及过得到有尊严的退休生活。答案是肯定的话,我们就会看下一项;答案是否定的话,计划或要打住。我们这些管理公帑的人将要负起责任——钱要花得其所,改掉坏习惯,还要将一切决定公开 ——惟其如此,才可重建人民对政府的信任。我们面对的问题,亦非市场力量是正是邪。市场创造财富、推动自由的威力,无可比拟,但这次危机提醒我们,欠缺监察的话,市场就会失控——而一个国家若偏帮富人,将不能得享长久的繁盛。我们的经济得到成功,除了端视我国国内生产总值之外,还要让更多人共享繁荣,以及让有心人得到机会——不是出于慈悲怜悯,而是因为这才是达到共荣的最确切途径。至于共同防卫问题,我们不认为需要在安全和理想之间作出抉择。我国的开国元勋们,当年面对我们难以想象的险境,依然拟出确保法治和人权的宪章,并由历代人的鲜血加以发扬。那些理念至今仍照亮世人,我们断不会为一时之便而放弃这些理念。今天在看我们的各国政府和人民、由最宏伟的首都到家父出生的小村落,请听好:美国是每个国家的朋友,是想寻找和平与尊严的男人、女人和小孩的朋友,还有就是,我们已准备好,再一次领导世界。要记得先辈压倒法西斯主义和共产主义,不只用导弹和坦克,还凭坚定的团结和不挠的信念。他们明了,单凭一己力量,我们不足以自保,更不能自把自为。反之,他们明白到,只有审慎运用,我们的力量才能壮大起来;我们的安稳,源自我们目标之正确、我们所作榜样的力量,还有谦卑与克制的温和质量。我们是这个遗产的保存者。在这些原则的再次引领下,我们可以迎战需要更大努力、国家间更强合作和更大的理解而面对的新威胁。我们要开始负责任地将伊拉克,交还给该国人民,并在阿富汗打造要辛苦攫取的和平。在旧朋友和前敌人的陪同下,我们会努力不懈地减低核威胁,并逆转正在变暖的地球。我们不会为我们的生活方式道歉,也不会放弃防卫,对于那些透过恐怖手段和屠杀无辜者而达到目标的人,我们现在对你们说,我们的意志比你们更坚强,我们不会被击败,你们无法比我们更长久,我们会击败你们。因为我们知道,祖先的遗产是力量,而非软弱。我们是一个基督徒、伊斯兰教徒、犹太教徒、印度教徒和无信仰者的国家。世界上每种语文和文化,塑造出我们。由于我们尝过内战和种族隔离的痛苦,我们能够更强和更团结地走出黑暗的一章。我们深切相信宿怨有一天会过去;种族部落间的裂缝很快会消弭;当世界变得越来越小时,我们的人性会彰显;美国必须扮演引导世界走向新和平纪元的角色。对于穆斯林世界,我们基于互利和互相尊重的原则上,寻找新的前路。对于世界上那些散布冲突、或将自己社会的病态怪罪于西方的领袖:要知道你们的人民,会根据你的建设而非破坏去评核你。对于那些透过贪污、欺骗、打压异见者而稳住政权的人,要知道你们处于历史错误的一面,但如果你们愿意放松拳头,我们愿意向你们伸出手。对于贫穷国家的人民,我们承诺与你一起,令你的农田肥沃,令洁净的水川流不息;令饥饿的身体得到滋养,并喂养饥饿的心灵。对于那些与我们一样,享受丰盛物资的国家,我们不能再对在国界外受苦的人漠不关心;我们也不能不理会效能地,耗用世界的资源。因为世界改了,我们也必须改变。当我们考虑前路要怎样走时,我们要以谦虚的态度,记住那些每小时都在遥远沙漠和山区巡逻的勇敢美国人。他们今天有话跟我们说,就像长眠在阿灵顿国家公墓下的英雄一样,跨越世代向我们耳语。我们尊崇他们,不只因为他们是捍卫自由的卫士,也因为他们体现了服务的精神;这是一种寻找超越自身意义的意愿。在这个时刻,将会为一个时代下定义的时刻,我们正需要这种精神,居于我们全部人身上。政府有许多事可以做和必须做,但这个国家建基的,始终是美国人的信念和决心。令我们得以度过黑暗时刻的美德,就是当大堤破裂时,救助一名陌生人的仁慈;就是工人宁愿减工时,也不愿看到一个好朋友失业。最后决定我们命运的,就是消防员走入浓烟密布的走廊的勇气,还有父母愿意培养小孩的热诚。我们的挑战可能是新的。我们迎接挑战的工具也可能是新的。但令我们成功的价值,包括勤劳、诚实、勇气、公平竞赛、容忍、好奇心、忠诚和爱国,都是既有的。它们都是实实在在的。它们一直是我们跨越历史的寂静动力。所需要的,是回归这些真理。现在需要我们做的,是一个负责任的新时代,一个认知,就是每个美国人,都要对我们自己、我们的国家和世界负责。我们非但不能不情愿,相反要乐意地捉紧这些责任。我们要相信,没有任何事比全情投入迎接艰难的任务,更能满足我们的精神,更能为我们的性格下定义。这就是做公民代价与承诺。这是我们信心的泉源——就是对主感召我们塑造不明确命运的认知。这是我们自由和我们信仰的意思——为甚么每个种族、每种信仰的男女和孩子能在这个宏伟的广场一起庆祝;为甚么一个父亲在差不多六十年前或在餐厅不获招待的男子今天能站在你们的面前,作出最庄严的宣誓。因此,让我们铭记这一天,毋忘我们是谁、我们走了多远的路。在美国诞生的一年,在最寒的岁月,一小群爱国的人在冰封的河畔,围拢一堆营火余烬取暖。首都失守。敌人进攻。白雪染血。在我们革命成果备受疑惑的时刻,我们的开国父亲下令向人们宣读:“告诉未来的世界……在严冬一无所有之际,只有希望和德行存活……这个城市和这个国家,必须迎上前克服共同的危难。”美利坚。面对共同的危难,在我们困境的寒冬,让我们紧记这些不朽的文字。凭希望和德行,让我们再一次勇敢对抗冰冷的寒流,承受所有来袭的风暴。告诉我们孩子的孩子,当我们经历考验,我们绝不让这旅程终结,我们不掉头,我们不畏缩;放眼未来,有主给我们的恩典,我们带自由的赞礼向前进,将它安然相传给未来世界。

向日本宣战(美国总统罗斯福)-英语演讲,英文演讲稿 汉语翻译(我最喜欢的一篇) FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT'S PEARL HARBOR SPEECHDeclaration of WarDecember 8, 1941 To the Congress of the United States:Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again. Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God. I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, Dec. 7, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.要求国会对日本宣战富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福副总统先生、议长先生、各位参议员和众议员:昨天,1941年12月7日,将成为我国的国耻日。美利坚合众国遭到了日本帝国海、空军有预谋的突然袭击。在此之前,美国同日本处于和平状态,并应日本之请同该国政府及天皇谈判,指望维持太平洋区域的和平。日本空军部队在美国的瓦胡岛。开始轰炸一小时后,日本驻美大使及其同僚居然还向美国国务卿递交正式复函,回答美国最近致日本的一封函件。这份复函虽然声言目前的外交谈判已无继续之必要,但却未有威胁的言词,也没有暗示将发动战争或采取军事行动。夏威夷岛距日本的距离说明此次袭击显然是许多天前甚至几星期前所策划的,此事将记录在案。在此期间,日本政府有意用虚伪的声明和表示继续保持和平的愿望欺骗美国。 日本昨天对夏威夷群岛的袭击,给美国海、陆军造成了严重的破坏。我遗憾地告诉你们:许许多多美国人被炸死。同时,据报告,若干艘美国船只在旧金山与火奴鲁鲁之间的公海上被水雷击中。昨天,日本政府还发动了对马来亚的袭击。昨夜日本部队袭击了香港。昨夜日本部队袭击了关岛。昨夜日本部队袭击了菲律宾群岛。昨夜日本部队袭击了威克岛。今晨日本人袭击了中途岛。这样,日本就在整个太平洋区域发动了全面的突然袭击。昨天和今天的情况已说明了事实的真相。美国人民已经清楚地了解到这是关系我国存亡安危的问题。作为海、陆军总司令,我已指令采取一切手段进行防御。我们将永远记住对我们这次袭击的性质。无论需要多长时间去击败这次预谋的侵略,美国人民正义在手,有力量夺取彻底的胜利。我保证我们将完全确保我们的安全,确保我们永不再受到这种背信弃义行为的危害,我相信这话说出了国会和人民的意志。大敌当前,我国人民、领土和利益正处于极度危险的状态,我们决不可稍有懈怠。我们相信我们的军队、我们的人民有无比坚定的决心,因此,胜利必定属于我们。愿上帝保佑我们。我要求国会宣布:由于日本在1941年12月7日星期日对我国无故进行卑鄙的袭击,美国同日本已经处于战争状态。
桃源捣主
My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. 同胞们: 我今天站在这里,深感面前使命的重大,深谢你们赋予的信任,并铭记我们前辈所付的代价。我感谢布什总统对国家的贡献以及他在整个过渡阶段给予的大度合作。 Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents. 至此,有四十四个美国人发出总统誓言。这些字词曾在蒸蒸日上的繁荣时期和宁静安详的和平年代诵读。但是间或,它们也响彻在阴云密布、风暴降临的时刻。美国能够历经这些时刻而勇往直前,不仅因为当政者具有才干或远见,而且也因为“我们人民”始终坚信我们先辈的理想,对我们的建国理念忠贞不渝。 So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 这是过来之路。这是这一代美国的必由之路。 That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. 我们处于危机之中,这一点已得到充分认识。我国在进行战争,打击分布广泛的暴力和仇恨势力。我们的经济严重衰弱,部分归咎于一些人的贪婪不轨,同时也因为我们作为一个整体,未能痛下决心,让国家作好面对新时代的准备。如今,住房不再,就业减少,商业破产。医疗保健费用过度昂贵;学校质量没有保障;而每一天都在不断显示,我们使用能源的方式在助长敌人的威风,威胁我们的星球。 These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land — a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. 这些是危机的迹象,数据统计将予以证明。不易于衡量然而同样严重的是全国各地受动摇的信心——一种挥之不去的恐惧感,认为美国将不可避免地走下坡路,下一代人不得不放低眼光。 Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met. 今天,我告诉大家,我们面临的挑战真实存在,并且严重而多重。它们不可能在一个短时间内被轻易征服。但是,美国,请记住这句话——它们将被征服。 On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. 我们今天聚集在这里是因为我们选择希望而不是恐惧,选择齐心协力而不是冲突对立。 On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. 我们今天在这里宣告,让斤斤计较与虚假承诺就此结束,让窒息我国政治为时太久的相互指责和陈词滥调就此完结。 We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. 我们仍是一个年轻的国家,但用圣经的话说,现在是抛弃幼稚的时侯了。现在应是我们让永恒的精神发扬光大的时侯,应是选择创造更佳历史业绩的时侯,应是将代代相传的宝贵财富、崇高理想向前发展的时侯:上帝赋予所有人平等、所有人自由和所有人充分追求幸福的机会。 In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. 在重申我们国家伟大精神的同时,我们懂得,伟大从非天生,而是必须赢得。我们的历程从来不是走捷径或退而求其次的历程。它不是弱者的道路——它不属于好逸恶劳或只图名利享受的人;这条路属于冒险者,实干家,创造者——有些人享有盛名,但大多数是默默无闻耕耘劳作的男女志士,是他们带我们走向通往繁荣和自由的漫长崎岖之路。 For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life. 为了我们,他们打点起贫寒的行装上路,远涉重洋,追求新生活。 For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth. 为了我们,他们在血汗工厂劳作,在西部原野拓荒,忍着鞭笞之痛在坚硬的土地上耕耘。 For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh. 为了我们,他们奔赴疆场,英勇捐躯,长眠于康科德、葛底斯堡、诺曼底和溪山。 Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction. 为了我们能够过上更好的生活,他们前赴后继,历尽艰辛,全力奉献,不辞劳苦,直至双手结起层层老茧。他们看到的美国超越了我们每一个人的雄心壮志,也超越了所有种族、财富或派系的差异。 This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America. 今天,作为后来者,我们踏上了这一未竟的旅程。我们依然是地球上最繁荣、最强大的国家。我们的劳动者的创造力并没有因为眼前的这场危机而减弱。我们的头脑依然像以往那样善于发明创新。我们的产品与服务仍旧像上星期、上个月或去年一样受人欢迎。我们的能力丝毫无损。但是,维持现状、保护狭隘的利益集团、推迟困难的抉择的时代无疑已成为过去。从今天起,我们必须振作起来,扫除我们身上的尘土,重新开启再造美国的事业。 For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. All this we will do. 无论我们把目光投向何处,都有工作在等待着我们。经济形势要求我们果敢而迅速地行动,我们将不辱使命——不仅要创造新的就业机会,而且要打下新的增长基础。我们将建造道路和桥梁,架设电网,铺设承载我们的商务和把我们紧密相连的电子通讯网络。我们将恢复尊重科学的传统,利用高新技术的超常潜力提高医疗保健质量并降低成本。我们将利用太阳能、风力和地热为车辆和工厂提供能源。我们将改造我们的中小学和高等院校,以应对新时代的挑战。这一切我们都能做到。这一切我们必将做到。 Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage. 现在,有人怀疑我们的雄心壮志——他们说我们的体制不能承受太多的宏伟规划。他们的记忆是短暂的,因为他们忘记了这个国家已经取得的成就,忘记了一旦共同的目标插上理想的翅膀、现实的要求鼓起勇气的风帆,自由的人民就会爆发出无穷的创造力。 What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. Those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government. 那些冷眼旁观的人没有认识到他们脚下的大地已经移动——那些长期以来空耗我们的精力的陈腐政治观点已经过时。我们今天提出的问题不是我们的政府太大还是太小,而是它是否行之有效——它是否能够帮助人们找到报酬合理的就业机会,是否能够为他们提供费用适度的医疗保健服务,是否能够确保他们在退休后不失尊严。如果回答是肯定的,我们就要向前推进。如果回答是否定的,计划和项目必须终止。作为公共资金的管理者,我们必须承担责任——明智地使用资金,抛弃坏习惯,在阳光下履行职责——因为只有这样我们才能恢复人民对政府的至关重要的信任。 Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control — and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good. 我们提出的问题也不在于市场力量是替天行道还是为虎作伥。市场在生成财富和传播自由方面具有无与伦比的力量,但这场危机提醒我们:没有严格的监督,市场就会失控——如果一个国家仅仅施惠于富裕者,其富裕便不能持久。我们的经济成功从来不是仅仅依赖国内总产值的规模,而是还依赖繁荣的普及,即为每一位愿意致富的人提供机会的能力——不是通过施舍——因为这才是最可靠的共同富裕之路。 As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers ... our found fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all the other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more. 至于我们的共同防御,我们决不接受安全与理念不可两全的荒谬论点。建国先贤面对我们难以想见的险恶局面,起草了一部保障法治和人权的宪章,一部子孙后代以自己的鲜血使之更加完美的宪章。今天,这些理念仍然照耀着世界,我们不会为一时之利而弃之。因此,对于今天正在观看此情此景的其他各国人民和政府——从最繁华的首都到我父亲出生的小村庄——我们希望他们了解:凡追求和平与尊严的国家以及每一位男人、妇女和儿童,美国是你们的朋友。我们已经做好准备,再一次走在前面。 Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint. 回顾过去,几代人在战胜法西斯主义和共产主义时依靠的不仅仅是导弹和坦克,更是牢固的联盟和不渝的信念。他们懂得单凭实力无法保护我们的安全,实力也并不赋予我们随心所欲的权利。相反,他们知道审慎使用实力会使我们更强大;我们的安全源于事业的正义性、典范的感召力、以及谦卑和克制的平衡作用。 We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you. 我们是这一传统的继承者。我们只要从新以这些原则为指导,就能应对那些新威胁,为此必须付出更大的努力——推动国家间更多的合作与理解。我们将开始以负责任的方式把伊拉克移交给伊拉克人民,并在阿富汗巩固来之不易的和平。我们将与多年的朋友和昔日的对手一道不懈地努力,减轻核威胁,扭转全球变暖的厄运。我们不会在价值观念上退缩,也不会动摇捍卫它的决心,对于那些妄图以煽动恐怖和屠杀无辜的手段达到其目的的人,我们现在就告诉你们,我们的意志更加顽强、坚不可摧;你们无法拖垮我们,我们必将战胜你们。 For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace. 因为我们知道,我们百衲而成的传统是一种优势,而不是劣势。我们是一个由基督教徒和穆斯林、犹太教徒和印度教徒、以及无宗教信仰者组成的国家。我们受惠于地球上四面八方每一种语言和文化的影响。由于我们饮过南北战争和种族隔离的苦水,走出了那个黑暗时代并变得更加坚强和团结,我们不能不相信昔日的仇恨终有一天会成为过去;部族之间的界线很快会消失;随着世界变得越来越小,我们共同的人性将得到彰显;美国必须为迎来一个和平的新纪元发挥自己的作用。 To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. 面对穆斯林世界,我们寻求一条新的前进道路,以共同利益和相互尊重为基础。对于世界上那些妄图制造矛盾、将自己社会的弊端归罪于西方的领导人,我们奉劝你们:你们的人民将以你们的建设成就而不是你们的毁灭能力来评判你们。对于那些依靠腐败、欺骗、压制不同意见等手段固守权势的人,我们提醒你们:你们站在了历史错误的一边;但只要你们放弃压迫,我们将伸手相助。

What would you say when you are under work pressure, "stressed out and frantic" or "challenged and energized"? There is very little physiological difference between the two, says a growing contingent of experts who claim works stress has an upside. These experts believe that stress can strengthen you or tear you down. In most cases, you can choose.
Give stress a good name why recent work stress -- it's an indicator that your career is advancing. Think of a heavy work load as an exciting opportunity to push yourself, learn new skills and show your mettle. Complaining depletes your energy; instead greet an overloaded day with optimism. Tell yourself, "This is a challenge i am capable of handling."
Put it in perspective sometimes it's impossible to talk about the positive side of stress -- say your computer crashes and you lose valuable work -- but you can moderate your reaction. Rate your distress on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being mild irritation and 10 extreme panic or anger.
Now, rank the importance of the situation from 1 ( a notice )to 10 ( you're fired ). If your distress ranks higher than the seriousness of the situation, ask yourself: Is this something i will remember in four years, four months, four days? Then downshift your response accordingly, saving your emotinal energy for disasters.
当你受到工作压力的时候,你会说些什么,是“快受不了了,要发疯了”还是“很有挑战性呀”?越来越大比例的专家认为工作压力有其积极的一面,他们认为,本质上,上述两种说法的区别不大。这些专家相信,压力要么可以让你更有力量,要么可以把你打垮。多数情况下,你是有得选的。
如果我们要给工作压力起个好听的说法的话,可以说它说明了你的工作在进步。把大的工作量作为一种推动你自己向前、学习新技能、展示你的精神风貌的好机会。抱怨只会让你精疲力竭,相反,应以乐观的态度对待每日重工作。对自己说:“这个问题,我能搞定。”
有时候,你可能找不出压力有什么好处,比如电脑突然坏掉了,你失业了,但这时候,你可以舒缓自己的情绪。把自己的沮丧分个级,从1到10,1是微怒,10是极度恐慌或暴怒。
现在再把所面临的状况按重要性分个级,从1到10,1是接到一个临时通知,10是你被炒鱿鱼了。如果你的沮丧程度比所面临问题和重要性要高的话,那就问问自己:这些事情我还要记多久?四年?四个月?四天?因此别做出太激动的反应了,省省力量以面对将来更为严重的问题。
励志英语演讲稿2
Success means different things for different people. Some may equate it with fame, some with wealth and still some with accomplishments. For me, it means fulfilling one's dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal there and then focus all your attention on it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. In the process of struggling for it, you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting makes you forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old proverb says that the sweetest fruit is one that has undergone the bitterest ordeal.
There are several keys to success. First, your goal must be practical and practicable. If you set your goal too high, chances are that you will never attain it. Next, you have to make a plan of doing it. You can take some steps to realize it. Since the process is quite tough, you need to be diligent, patient and persevering. Even if you meet with some difficulties or frustrations, just take them in your stride. You can always tell yourself that there is nothing insurmountable. With this will and determination, success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel!
成功对于不同的人来说意义不同。一些人将它等同于声望,有人将它等同于财富另一些人将它等同于成就。对我来说,成功意味着完成一个人的梦想。不管你的梦想是什么,你有一个目标并且为之倾注心力。梦想带给你希望和幸福。在为之奋斗的过程中,你流泪,流汗,抱怨甚至诅咒,但是收获的快乐会令你忘却着所有你所经历的痛苦与艰辛。所以一句老话说最甜蜜的果实是在最艰苦的奋斗后得来的。
这里有一些成功的秘诀。首先,你的目标必须现实可行。如果你制定的目标太高,你也许会永远无法达到。再者,又必须为之制定计划。你可以分步骤地实现他。因为过程将是艰苦的,你必须勤奋,耐心,坚持不懈。即使你遇见了困难与挫折,也要将之克服。你要总是告诉自己没有什么事不能克服的。带着这样的决心,成功必然在道路的尽头等着你。

励志英语演讲稿4
When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.
At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.
Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.
Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.
Find your treasure within and cherish2 it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.
别人看你的眼睛时,他应当体会到你内心的活力。怀揣梦想就像是拥有一座引领你前行的灯塔。
每个转折关头,它给我们带来奇迹。每个新的起点,我们脱胎换骨,焕然一新。孤独中我们挺过失望的阴霾,发现我们的信念不曾动摇,我们的力量依然强大。
秉持信念,期盼未来。许下你最真诚的梦想,一旦机会来临,就为之拼搏。也许要花一季甚或更多的时间,但结局不会改变。立大志,倾全力,成现实。前途未卜,唯有一步一个脚印,梦想者的至高希冀才会实现。我们必须珍存梦想,给它一季的保护,让它在内心悄然生发。然而我们还得温柔呵护我们内心至深的期许,慢慢地梦想必将成就新的生命。
梦想是实现信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光辉,它会驱逐不信的阴影。上帝赋予我们梦想的天资,去点亮不曾确信的世界。让梦想的财富寄于心中,珍爱它,明天正等着你跨出第一步。
励志英语演讲稿5
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?
We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.
人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。
我们为什么要有图书馆呢?这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢?
我们这么做的原因在于有时候 经验 之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和平,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。
从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的 故事 之中,我们获得了青春的启示。英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的 事迹 。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。
历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。
简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载可以使我们避免重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的伟大壁画。
