美国励志人物大学演讲稿中英文对照版,有哪些

Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graduates,  尊敬的Faust校长,哈佛集团的各位成员,监管理事会的各位理事,各位老师,各位家长,各位朋友,以及最重要的各位毕业生同学,  Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you.  感谢你们,让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。

  I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd.  我不太肯定,自己够得上哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人这样的殊荣。

去年登上这个讲台的是,英国亿万身家的小说家J.K. Rowling女士,她最早是一个古典文学的学生。

前年站在这里的是比尔•盖茨先生,他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑高手。

今年很遗憾,你们的演讲人是我,虽然我不是很有钱,但是至少我也算一个高手。

  I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. My older brother has an M.D.\\\/Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a law degree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, That's nice, but when are you going to visit me next. Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied.  我很感激哈佛大学给我荣誉学位,这对我很重要,也许比你们会想到的还要重要。

要知道,在学术上,我是我们家的不肖之子。

我的哥哥在麻省理工学院得到医学博士,在哈佛大学得到哲学博士;我的弟弟在哈佛大学得到一个法律学位。

我本人得到诺贝尔奖的时候,我想我的妈妈会高兴。

但是,我错了。

消息公布的那天早上,我给她打电话,她听了只说:这是好消息,不过我想知道,你下次什么时候来看我

如今在我们兄弟当中,我最终也拿到了哈佛学位,我想这一次,她会感到满意。

  Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you may disapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that you forgive me for two reasons.  在哈佛大学毕业典礼上发表演讲,还有一个难处,那就是你们中有些人可能有意见,不喜欢我重复前人演讲中说过的话。

我要求你们谅解我,因为两个理由。

  First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. In science, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more important to be the last person to make that discovery.  首先,为了产生影响力,很重要的方法就是重复传递同样的信息。

在科学中,第一个发现者是重要的,但是在得到公认前,最后一个将这个发现重复做出来的人也许更重要。

  Second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who graduated from Harvard at the age of 18, noted All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients. Picasso declared Good artists borrow. Great artists steal. Why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard?  其次,一个借鉴他人的作者,正走在一条前人开辟的最佳道路上。

哈佛大学毕业生、诗人爱默生曾经写下:古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。

画家毕加索宣称优秀的艺术家借鉴,伟大的艺术家偷窃。

那么为什么毕业典礼的演说者,就不适用同样的标准呢

  I also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would have rejected me, had I the chutzpah to apply. I am married to Dean Jean, the former dean of admissions at Stanford. She assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. When I showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word rejected. She never rejected applicants; her letters stated that we are unable to offer you admission. I have difficulty understanding the difference. After all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, deans of rejection. Clearly, I have a lot to learn about marketing.  我还要指出一点,向哈佛毕业生发表演说,对我来说是有讽刺意味的,因为如果当年我斗胆向哈佛大学递交入学申请,一定会被拒绝。

我的妻子Jean当过斯坦福大学的招生主任,她向我保证,如果当年我申请斯坦福大学,她会拒绝我。

我把这篇演讲的草稿给她过目,她强烈反对我使用拒绝这个词,她从来不拒绝任何申请者。

在拒绝信中,她总是写:我们无法提供你入学机会。

我分不清两者到底有何差别。

在我看来,那些大热门学校的招生主任与其称为准许你入学的主任,还不如称为拒绝你入学的主任。

很显然,我需要好好学学怎么来推销自己。

  My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that credit is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.  毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构,我的演讲也不例外。

刚才是第一乐章----轻快的闲谈。

接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。

这样的忠告很少被重视,几乎注定被忘记,永远不会被实践。

但是,就像王尔德说的:对于忠告,你所能做的,就是把它送给别人,因为它对你没有任何用处。

所以,下面就是我的忠告。

第一,取得成就的时候,不要忘记前人。

要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友,要感谢那些启发过你的教授,尤其要感谢那些上不好课的教授,因为他们迫使你自学。

从长远看,自学能力是优秀的文理教育中必不可少的,将成为你成功的关键。

你还要去拥抱你的同学,感谢他们同你进行过的许多次彻夜长谈,这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。

当然,你还要感谢哈佛大学。

不过即使你忘了这一点,校友会也会来提醒你。

第二,在你们未来的人生中,做一个慷慨大方的人。

在任何谈判中,都把最后一点点利益留给对方。

不要把桌上的钱都拿走。

在合作中,要牢记荣誉不是一个守恒的量。

成功合作的任何一方,都应获得全部荣誉的90%。

  Jimmy Stewart, as Elwood P. Dowd in the movie Harvey got it exactly right. He said: Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be ... she always used to call me Elwood ... in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. ... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that.  电影《Harvey》中,Jimmy Stewart扮演的角色Elwood P. Dowd,就完全理解这一点。

他说:多年前,母亲曾经对我说,'Elwood,活在这个世界上,你要么做一个聪明人,要么做一个好人。

'我做聪明人,已经做了好多年了。

......但是,我推荐你们做好人。

你们可以引用我这句话。

  My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.  我的第三个忠告是,当你开始生活的新阶段时,请跟随你的爱好。

如果你没有爱好,就去找,找不到就不罢休。

生命太短暂,如果想有所成,你必须对某样东西倾注你的深情。

我在你们这个年龄,是超级的一根筋,我的目标就是非成为物理学家不可。

本科毕业后,我在加州大学伯克利分校又待了8年,读完了研究生,做完了博士后,然后去贝尔实验室待了9年。

在这些年中,我关注的中心和职业上的全部乐趣,都来自物理学。

  Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.  我还有最后一个忠告,就是说兴趣爱好固然重要,但是你不应该只考虑兴趣爱好。

当你白发苍苍、垂垂老矣、回首人生时,你需要为自己做过的事感到自豪。

你的物质生活和得到的承认,都不会产生自豪。

只有那些你出手相助、被你改变过的人和事,才会让你产生自豪。

  After nine years at Bell labs, I decided to leave that warm, cozy ivory tower for what I considered to be the real world, a university. Bell Labs, to quote what was said about Mary Poppins, was practically perfect in every way, but I wanted to leave behind something more than scientific articles. I wanted to teach and give birth to my own set of scientific children.  在贝尔实验室待了9年后,我决定离开这个温暖舒适的象牙塔,走进我眼中的真实世界----大学。

我对贝尔实验室的看法,就像别人形容电影Mary Poppins的话,实际上完美无缺。

但是,我想为世界留下更多的东西,不只是科学论文。

我要去教书,培育我自己在科学上的后代。

  Ted Geballe, a friend and distinguished colleague of mine at Stanford, who also went from Berkeley to Bell Labs to Stanford years earlier, described our motives best:  我在斯坦福大学有一个好友兼杰出同事Ted Geballe。

他也是从伯克利分校去了贝尔实验室,几年前又离开贝尔实验室去了斯坦福大学。

他对我们的动机做出了最佳描述:  The best part of working at a university is the students. They come in fresh, enthusiastic, open to ideas, unscarred by the battles of life. They don't realize it, but they're the recipients of the best our society can offer. If a mind is ever free to be creative, that's the time. They come in believing textbooks are authoritative, but eventually they figure out that textbooks and professors don't know everything, and then they start to think on their own. Then, I begin learning from them.  在大学工作,最大的优点就是学生。

他们生机勃勃,充满热情,思想自由,还没被生活的重压改变。

虽然他们自己没有意识到,但是他们是这个社会中你能找到的最佳受众。

如果生命中曾经有过思想自由和充满创造力的时期,那么那个时期就是你在读大学。

进校时,学生们对课本上的一字一句毫不怀疑,渐渐地,他们发现课本和教授并不是无所不知的,于是他们开始独立思考。

从那时起,就是我开始向他们学习了。

  My students, post doctoral fellows, and the young researchers who worked with me at Bell Labs, Stanford, and Berkeley have been extraordinary. Over 30 former group members are now professors, many at the best research institutions in the world, including Harvard. I have learned much from them. Even now, in rare moments on weekends, the remaining members of my biophysics group meet with me in the ether world of cyberspace.  我教过的学生、带过的博士后、合作过的年轻同事,都非常优秀。

他们中有30多人,现在已经是教授了。

他们所在的研究机构有不少是全世界第一流的,其中就包括哈佛大学。

我从他们身上学到了很多东西。

即使现在,我偶尔还会周末上网,向现在还从事生物物理学研究的学生请教。

  I began teaching with the idea of giving back; I received more than I gave. This brings me to the final movement of this speech. It begins with a story about an extraordinary scientific discovery and a new dilemma that it poses. It's a call to arms and about making a difference.  我怀着回报社会的想法,开始了教学生涯。

我的一生中,得到的多于我付出的,所以我要回报社会。

这就引出了这次演讲的最后一个乐章。

首先我要讲一个了不起的科学发现,以及由此带来的新挑战。

它是一个战斗的号令,到了做出改变的时候了。

高分求美国十大著名演讲(要中英文对照地)

[中英文对照]名讲--I Have A Dream[马路金]PS:这篇我也背过马丁·路德·金(公元1929—1968年),美国律师,著名黑人民权运动领袖。

一生曾三次被捕,三次被行刺,1964年获诺贝尔和平奖。

1968年被种族主义分子枪杀。

他被誉为近百年来八大最具有说服力的演说家之一。

1963年他领导25万人向华盛顿进军“大游行”,为黑人争取自由平等和就业。

马丁·路德·金在游行集会上发表了这篇著名演说。

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. 100年前,一位伟大的美国人——今天我们就站在他象征性的身影下——签署了《解放宣言》。

这项重要法令的颁布,对于千百万灼烤于非正义残焰中的黑奴,犹如带来希望之光的硕大灯塔,恰似结束漫漫长夜禁锢的欢畅黎明。

But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. 然而,100年后,黑人依然没有获得自由。

100年后,黑人依然悲惨地蹒跚于种族隔离和种族歧视的枷锁之下。

100年后,黑人依然生活在物质繁荣翰海的贫困孤岛上。

100年后,黑人依然在美国社会中间向隅而泣,依然感到自己在国土家园中流离漂泊。

所以,我们今天来到这里,要把这骇人听闻的情况公诸于众。

In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.从某种意义上说,我们来到国家的首都是为了兑现一张支票。

我们共和国的缔造者在拟写宪法和独立宣言的辉煌篇章时,就签署了一张每一个美国人都能继承的期票。

这张期票向所有人承诺——不论白人还是黑人——都享有不可让渡的生存权、自由权和追求幸福权。

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked insufficient funds. But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. 然而,今天美国显然对她的有色公民拖欠着这张期票。

美国没有承兑这笔神圣的债务,而是开始给黑人一张空头支票——一张盖着“资金不足”的印戳被退回的支票。

但是,我们决不相信正义的银行会破产。

我们决不相信这个国家巨大的机会宝库会资金不足。

So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. 因此,我们来兑现这张支票。

这张支票将给我们以宝贵的自由和正义的保障。

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. 我们来到这块圣地还为了提醒美国:现在正是万分紧急的时刻。

现在不是从容不迫悠然行事或服用渐进主义镇静剂的时候。

现在是实现民主诺言的时候。

现在是走出幽暗荒凉的种族隔离深谷,踏上种族平等的阳关大道的时候。

现在是使我们国家走出种族不平等的流沙,踏上充满手足之情的磐石的时候。

现在是使上帝所有孩子真正享有公正的时候。

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning 忽视这一时刻的紧迫性,对于国家将会是致命的。

自由平等的朗朗秋日不到来,黑人顺情合理哀怨的酷暑就不会过去。

1963年不是一个结束,而是一个开端。

Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. 如果国家依然我行我素,那些希望黑人只需出出气就会心满意足的人将大失所望。

在黑人得到公民权之前,美国既不会安宁,也不会平静。

反抗的旋风将继续震撼我们国家的基石,直至光辉灿烂的正义之日来临。

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. 但是,对于站在通向正义之宫艰险门槛上的人们,有一些话我必须要说。

在我们争取合法地位的过程中,切不要错误行事导致犯罪。

我们切不要吞饮仇恨辛酸的苦酒,来解除对于自由的饮渴。

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. 我们应该永远得体地、纪律严明地进行斗争。

我们不能容许我们富有创造性的抗议沦为暴力行动。

我们应该不断升华到用灵魂力量对付肉体力量的崇高境界。

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. 席卷黑人社会的新的奇迹般的战斗精神,不应导致我们对所有白人的不信任——因为许多白人兄弟已经认识到:他们的命运同我们的命运紧密相连,他们的自由同我们的自由休戚相关。

他们今天来到这里参加集会就是明证。

We cannot walk alone.And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, When will you be satisfied? We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. 我们不能单独行动。

当我们行动时,我们必须保证勇往直前。

我们不能后退。

有人问热心民权运动的人:“你们什么时候会感到满意

”只要黑人依然是不堪形容的警察暴行恐怖的牺牲品,我们就决不会满意。

只要我们在旅途劳顿后,却被公路旁汽车游客旅社和城市旅馆拒之门外,我们就决不会满意。

只要黑人的基本活动范围只限于从狭小的黑人居住区到较大的黑人居住区,我们就决不会满意。

只要我们的孩子被“仅供白人”的牌子剥夺个性,损毁尊严,我们就决不会满意。

只要密西西比州的黑人不能参加选举,纽约州的黑人认为他们与选举毫不相干,我们就决不会满意。

不,不,我们不会满意,直至公正似水奔流,正义如泉喷涌。

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. 我并非没有注意到你们有些人历尽艰难困苦来到这里。

你们有些人刚刚走出狭小的牢房。

有些人来自因追求自由而遭受迫害风暴袭击和警察暴虐狂飙摧残的地区。

你们饱经风霜,历尽苦难。

继续努力吧,要相信:无辜受苦终得拯救。

Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. 回到密西西比去吧;回到亚拉巴马去吧;回到南卡罗来纳去吧;回到佐治亚去吧;回到路易斯安那去吧;回到我们北方城市中的贫民窟和黑人居住区去吧。

要知道,这种情况能够而且将会改变。

我们切不要在绝望的深渊里沉沦。

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. 朋友们,今天我要对你们说,尽管眼下困难重重,但我依然怀有一个梦。

这个梦深深植根于美国梦之中。

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal. 我梦想有一天,这个国家将会奋起,实现其立国信条的真谛:“我们认为这些真理不言而喻:人人生而平等。

” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. 我梦想有一天,在佐治亚州的红色山岗上,昔日奴隶的儿子能够同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐,亲如手足。

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. 我梦想有一天,甚至连密西西比州——一个非正义和压迫的热浪逼人的荒漠之州,也会改造成为自由和公正的青青绿洲。

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. 我梦想有一天,我的四个小女儿将生活在一个不是以皮肤的颜色,而是以品格的优劣作为评判标准的国家里。

I have a dream today. 我今天怀有一个梦。

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. 我梦想有一天,亚拉巴马州会有所改变——尽管该州州长现在仍滔滔不绝地说什么要对联邦法令提出异议和拒绝执行——在那里,黑人儿童能够和白人儿童兄弟姐妹般地携手并行。

I have a dream today. 我今天怀有一个梦。

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. 我梦想有一天,深谷弥合,高山夷平,歧路化坦途,曲径成通衢,上帝的光华再现,普天下生灵共谒。

This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. 这是我们的希望。

这是我将带回南方去的信念。

有了这个信念,我们就能绝望之山开采出希望之石。

有了这个信念,我们就能把这个国家的嘈杂刺耳的争吵声,变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。

有了这个信念,我们就能一同工作,一同祈祷,一同斗争,一同入狱,一同维护自由,因为我们知道,我们终有一天会获得自由。

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring. 从到了这一天,上帝的所有孩子都能以新的含义高唱这首歌:我的祖国,可爱的自由之邦,我为您歌唱。

这是我祖先终老的地方,这是早期移民自豪的地方,让自由之声,响彻每一座山岗。

And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. 如果美国要成为伟大的国家,这一点必须实现。

因此,让自由之声响彻新罕布什尔州的巍峨高峰

让自由之声响彻纽约州的崇山峻岭

让自由之声响彻宾夕法尼亚州的阿勒格尼高峰

让自由之声响彻科罗拉多州冰雪皑皑的洛基山

让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰

不,不仅如此;让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山

让自由之声响彻田纳西州的望山

让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰,一个个土丘

让自由之声响彻每一个山岗

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last! 当我们让自由之声轰响,当我们让自由之声响彻每一个大村小庄,每一个州府城镇,我们就能加速这一天的到来。

那时,上帝的所有孩子,黑人和白人,犹太教徒和非犹太教徒,耶稣教徒和天主教徒,将能携手同唱那首古老的黑人灵歌:“终于自由了

终于自由了

感谢全能的上帝,我们终于自由了

求一篇英文的关于麦当劳的演讲稿,内容主要包括起源,发展及对美国人的影响,1000字左右

McDonald's In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in Califor-nia which sold food that was easy toprepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries and cold drinks were the main food there.Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name,McDonald's, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful fast-food restaurants in America and the world. Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the ]950s,most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the work place. This meant that they had less time and energy for housework and preparation of meals, so they depended more on TV dinners and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth. Fast-food is not part of all Americans lives. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement,influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged and processed. This preference for natural food continues to this day. From the success of Raymond Kroc's fast-food business,we can say that social and economic trends influence where and what we eat. 麦当劳 1955年,一位名为雷蒙德·克劳克的人与两位名为麦当劳的兄弟合伙,在加州开了一家颇受欢迎的小餐馆,销售制作方便服务快捷的食物。

那里的主打食品是汉堡、炸薯条和冷饮。

克劳克用同样的名字—一麦当劳开了几家类似的餐厅,迅速获得了成功。

后来他接管了这个公司,今天它成为美国和世界最有名、最成功的“快餐”厅之一。

他的想法为什么会如此成功呢?也许最重要的原因是因为他时机正好。

20世纪50年代,大多数已婚妇女呆在家里做家务、照顾孩子。

而在60年代,许多妇女回去工作。

这就意味着她们做家务、准备食物的时间、精力减少了,因此她们更多地依赖于“电视晚餐”和快餐店。

单亲家庭中父母也很少有时间花在厨房里。

独自居住的人也依赖于这种食物,因为一个人做饭经常太麻烦,不值当费那功夫。

快餐并不是所有美国人生活的一部分。

20世纪60年代还有另一种有时被成为“返璞归真”运动的趋势,影响了很多人,他们避免食用经过包装和加工的食物。

这种对天然食物的青睐一直持续到今天。

从雷蒙德·克劳克快餐生意的成功中,我们可以说社会和经济趋势会影响我们就餐的地点和食物的选择。

American Food You are what you eat.Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits.What we put in our mouths does become a part of us.But we can look at this statement another way.What we eat reflects who we are--as people and as a culture.Do you want to understand another culture?Then you ought to find out about its food.Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture. 你吃什么就成为什么样子营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯,入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分.但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话,我们所吃的反映出我们自己--不论就人或文化而言.你想了解另一种文化吗

那么你应该去认识他们的食物.认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。

What is American food?At first you might think the answer is easy as pie.To many people,American food means hamburgers,hot dogs,fried chicken and pizza.If you have a sweet tooth,you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies.It's true that Americans do eat those things.But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America? 何谓「美式食物」

乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。

对许多人而言,美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。

如果你是好吃甜食的人,你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。

美国人确实吃这些东西,但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗

Except for Thanksgiving turkey,it's hard to find a typically Americanfood.The United States is a land of immigrants.So Americans eat food from many different countries.When people move to America,they bring their cooking styles with them.That's why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America.In some cases,Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites.Americans love Italian pizza,Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls.But the American version doesn't taste quite like the original! 除了感恩节火鸡以外,挺难找到典型的美国食物。

美国是个移民之地,所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家,当人们移居美国,他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。

那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。

在某些情况中,美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。

美国人喜爱意大利的披萨,墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷,但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地

As with any large country,the U.S.A has several distinct regions.Each region boasts its own special style of food.Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking.Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine.Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes.Travel through the Midwest,the breadbasket of the nation,for delicious baked goods.Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats.Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee. 和许多大国一样,美国有数个截然不同的地区,每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。

走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调;到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理;走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜;再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品;乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃,最后到太平洋西北岸,啜饮美食家的咖啡,作为美食之旅的句点。

Americans living at a fast pace often just grab a quick bite.Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice.Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap.Of course,one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich.If it can fit between two slices of bread,Americans probably make a sandwich out of it.Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite. 生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。

快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物,从炸鸡到炒饭,应有尽有。

微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。

当然,最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。

任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西,美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治,花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of junk food.Potato chips,candy bars,soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats.Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks.But others opt for more healthy eating habits.Some even go all natural.They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives. 忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。

洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。

许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴,但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯,有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物,他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

高考语文作文8个基本要点是什么

第一点:搞清写作要素  ▲审题; ▲抓点;▲立意;▲动笔  第二点:审题  审题的方法有很多,而且审题也是对阅读能力的考验,看你是否能抓住中心。

常见的审题方法有:  ①.抓关键句-键句往往暗示着材料的中心,抓住关键句,往往事半功倍  ②.明褒贬法-可以从出题人比较侧重的点的来出发立意  ③.提炼中心-提取要点以作为文章主旨,这样比较容易切题  ④.由果溯因-多问个为什么,对比结果找起因,原因往往就是要写的点  ⑤.关系分析-分析材料中对象之间的关系,找突破口  一般而言,比较常用的和起效较快的就是①和③两种方法,可以应对大多数的作文材料的立意问题,所以大家可以多加强一下这两种审题方法的训练。

  第三点:抓点  在这里提到的抓点就是抓话题的意思。

一般情况下,材料作文的一个显著特点就是围绕一个比较常见的话题来展开叙述,所以在审题的过程中,大家就可以比较明确地抓住一个话题来展开文章。

而且出题人会尽力做到让大多数的同学都能理解材料,肯定不会达到让同学们无法理解的层面,所以我的建议就是不要钻得太深,不要想的太深刻,否则就会有跑题的危险。

  以下我对比较常见的话题进行了举例,大家可以多超与这些话题相关的方向来收集素材:  成功、胜利、爱国、敬业、诚信、友善、富强、民主、文明、和谐、自由、平等、公正、友善、奉献、友爱、互助、进步、创新、创造、努力、刻苦、克服困难、忍受痛苦、价值、意义、人生、情感、珍贵、惜时、友谊、宝贵、财富、信仰、信念、放弃、坚持、思考、选择等等……  这些话题不少,所以大家可以选择一些同时适用于多个话题的素材来记忆,这样可以减轻些负担,比如马云

位居中国富豪榜榜首,全世界继谷歌之后市值第二的互联网公司阿里巴巴的创始人,就可以同时适用于创造、坚持、选择、成功、胜利、克服困难、眼界、视角等等话题。

此外,大家可能发现了我写的话题中有好多是社会主义核心价值观的内容,所以关注时事与政治似乎也成为必要。

  第四点:立意  常说审题立意,审题立意,所以说在审题的时候,就一并立意的,之所以又拿出来单说,是因为这里有一些比较重要的点还需提一下,所以别嫌啰嗦。

  立意即是摆明观点,观点就是指你接下来要围绕描述的论点。

这样一说,大家似乎都觉得立意很重要了。

审题的成果将直接决定立意的出发点,立意将决定整篇文章的基调和中心。

好的立意,既切题又具体,而且是文章要展开所围绕的中心点。

所以立意的提出极为重要。

  这里也说几种提出立意的方法:  ①.横向立意-就材料本身出发比较直接的观点陈述  ②.反向立意-选取与材料比较偏重的观点相反的一面来陈述  ③.类比立意-由事及人,由此及彼,选取与材料描述相近的点来写  ④.延伸立意-即是由现有的材料所体现的内容延伸出与之先关的立意来  我个人是不推荐反向立意的,我高一高三的语文老师也是这么说的。

如果没有把握写的很棒很吸引人的话,还是建议大家不要这样立意。

  此外,对于立意的提出也还有一点要说,就是立意的提出不单单是根据材料而来的,还与自身所具备和掌握的材料有关。

立意的提出应该是审题结果,话题判断及素材掌握情况的综合考虑结果。

也许你会提出一个十分切题的立意出来,可是却没有可用的素材,那样不就也很悲哀吗

如果只是全篇在围绕一个很切题的立意来空洞的强调的话,相信大家都知道,那是丝毫没有说服力的。

所以,立意的提出要考虑自己所能想到的与之最相关的素材,进而稍稍做个过渡,将主旨与素材在立意中接合起来。

这又在另一方面体现出素材积累的重要性。

  第五点:动笔(重点)  首先,我们来提一下高考对作文的两大要求吧,这样也好有的放矢:  ①.基础等级-语句通顺、切题、围绕中心  ②.发展等级-语言有文采  而语言有文采又体现在四个方面:  [1].语句生动-比如撷取新词新义,或使用流行语,有些老师可能反对使用流行语,所以不要太过分  [2].句式灵活-就是说,句子要长短有致,长短错落,带有节奏变化可能会好一些  [3].善用修辞-也就是能够恰到好处的使用修辞手法来提升文章的韵味,排比、比喻比拟、对偶、设问、对比、对仗押韵等等,只要恰如其分就是好的修辞运用  [4].文句有蕴-这体现在文句的幽默性、哲理性等方面还可以是具有古典美的语段,最好能体现出深意来,而不只是浅略的悠扬动感。

  接下来,我们来说一下老生常谈的方面:标题、开头以及结尾。

对这三点我归结为两个词:直切主题,谨防人猜。

直切主题,就是指这三个最为显眼的地方一定要能够点题;谨防人猜,一定不要让阅卷老师猜你想要表达什么意思,直接说明。

  然后,我们再一一细说这三点:  ①.标题-简洁、新颖、生动、切题,我比较强调的是注意简洁和切题,其余两者可酌情把握。

有些同学喜欢在写完整篇文章之后再定题目,这样比较危险,因为你可能在文章中就没有很深刻地围绕某一点来写,而是写到哪里算哪里,不合脉络清晰的要求。

而在生动、新颖上,不做必要的要求,写出来可能加分,也可能会让阅卷老师不知所云,相反,简洁清晰的标题没有老师是讨厌的。

  ②.开头-入题要快。

不论你是想怎样装饰凤头,都一定要注意不要太长篇幅以后才开始点题,这样你的凤头会很臃肿,与身体不协调,反而失了凤凰头小脖长的美感。

一般开头要在200字以内点题,至于入题则会更早,从你写第一句话开始就要想着怎么往主题上引了。

  ③.结尾-要求结实,有力,卒章显志,首尾呼应,再次点题。

当然也不要太长,如果实在字数不够,那就采用排比例证吧,多写几个沾边的例子排比串烧,再次强化主旨,点明提议会好些。

  ④.正文-正文是摆出论据论证阶段。

即使标题和开头已经很好的切题了,正文也不可松懈。

而且,要学会分段,不要一段写得太过冗长,亦不可太短,凡事讲究适量而行。

每段一个论据说清楚,说明白了就好,不用贪多,而且最好要有总领句或是小标题,论证结尾要有总结,论证过程中则要注意时时点题,处处点题,证明论点。

我那时常用的比较俗套的句型:如果不……就不会……,虽然常见,但却有用。

每段论证可以选取围绕同一个中心论点,亦可设立分论点,但3则论证材料最好是格式一致抑或各不相同,要么工整对仗,要么添加新意。

  ⑤.总体-总体我总结为5个四字词语:脉路清晰,叙事具体,脱俗求异,字正意明,多留空隙。

至于5个词语的解释,将在下面展开:  脉路清晰-意即审完题,抓到点,立完意之后,你就对接下来整篇文章的写作过程了然于胸,而不是写到哪里算哪里  叙事具体-这个则体现在正文的论证方面,对于论据的陈述一定要具体  脱俗求异-写出自己的文章出来,模仿别人很困难,做自己很容易,即写作要有独立性,借鉴别人,用自己的话说  字正意明-字迹不论是否好看,但一定要雅观,一定要写得工整;词句则要求意思明确,忌含混不清  多留空隙-要学会适当分段,抛些空隙出来,这样阅卷老师整体来看不会很累,Ta轻松了,你就愉悦了  第六点:素材准备  对于材料作文,写议论文体的时候,众所周知,包括3要素:论点、论据、论证。

论点,包括主要论点和分论点;论据,则是论证时使用的事例、典故等;论证,将论据与似乎没有相干性的论点联系起来,是一项编制过程。

在这里,论证就是你动笔的初衷,论点则是最终目的,论据则是内容的填充。

所以,三者皆不可少,相互依靠。

  接下来说一下论据的准备。

论据来源于素材的积累与碰撞。

就积累而言,最基本的要求是记住人、事、结论,当然不反对“4 W 1 H”原则,那样则更好。

全篇文章,主要论据3则即可,可以穿插一些辅助论证的简练论据。

每个分论据可使用相同的论点,即中心论点,也可以使用多个分论点,记得最后总结归纳就行。

  第七点:功在平时  我总结为以下5点:  ①.坚持独立写作。

写出自己的特色出来,不要模仿别人,借鉴是可以的,但那是用来提升自己的写作水平的  ②.多留意生活。

生活是艺术的载体,每次写作都是一次人类科学上的艺术创作,也许灵感就来自于某次生活纪实。

对新闻,政治的关注也在此之  ③. 阅读,摘录,朗读。

阅读水平的提高将有助于作文的审题,还能丰富素材的积累;摘录则可以培养优美语句的语感与加强意境的体会,师人之长,克己之短;朗读,也有助于语感培养与素材记忆,考前朗读效果更好  ④.勤于练笔。

世间之事,就怕重复。

所谓好事多磨,就是要多加练习。

刚开始要多动手写,让老师帮你纠正提升,后来就可以只列提纲,在心中跑一遍写作的流程就好  ⑤.拿到试卷,先看作文。

这样可以大致想一下先朝哪个方向写,而不要因为最后时间不够而慌了神,导致审题不清,立意不明。

而且先看作文还有一个好处:就是在做前面题的过程中,说不定哪个时刻写作的灵感就会到来,可以先加以记录,作为提醒,最后动笔  第八点:卷面寄语  作文的卷面在很大程度上决定你的文章到底是哪个等次的。

我们都知道阅卷老师阅卷时,每篇文章停留的时间很短,如果第一印象就不好,就不能够很好的体现你的内容与内涵了。

好的卷面会让老师看着比较轻松,这样Ta才有可能会想深入的读你的文章,才更有体现你文章靓点的机会。

所以,对于卷面我也有以下6点建议:  ①.适当分段。

一段不可太长,800字的文章,分个7、8段就好。

也不宜分段太多,也不要不分段  ②.注意字体大小。

最好是看起来既能把格子填满又不漫出来的感觉。

大概8分饱的样子最好  ③.字迹一定要工整。

不管你的字形好不好看,都一定尽最大努力写端正。

不要躺,不要斜,端端正正写。

再就是选支自己用着舒服的笔,还要注意笔芯的粗细,0.5mm即可,细了太暴露手写的水平,粗了容易粘到一块儿  ④.尽量少涂抹。

不是不让涂抹,即使要涂的时候,只需轻轻一划,粗看没有涂抹痕迹,细看那字确实划掉了。

一定禁止整段的涂抹划除,所以说,下笔需谨慎啊  ⑤.正确使用标点符号。

不要不在意,不要让阅卷老师觉得你是个太随意的人。

你随意,Ta也随意了  ⑥.字数要求。

这是基本的基本,一定记得过800线,最好不要超1000线。

求奥巴马就职演讲的中英文演讲稿

奥巴马就职全文  以奥巴马总统就说的中英文对照全文,中文由美国国务院国际信(IIP)根据演说记录稿翻译。

  (巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)于2009年1月20日宣誓就职美国第44任总统)  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。

  (亲爱的黑人兄弟在看就职典礼)  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。

  (就职典礼)  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。
