怎样写出一篇好的英语演讲稿，有什么要求吗
无论在学习还是工作中，我们都会接用到各类英语演小到课堂作业和工作，大到会议发言和职位竞选。
那么如何才能打造一篇精彩的英语演讲稿呢
下面笔者就以乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业演讲稿为范本来具体剖析一下英语演讲稿的写作要点，帮助大家了解其基本写作要领。
结构清楚，逻辑清晰 由于公共演讲的听众一般有数十人甚至数百、数千人，再加上演讲环境的不确定性(比如观众的欢呼或者抱怨)，演讲者最好在进入主题之后马上给出所讲内容的框架结构，使听众能跟随演讲者的思路，更好地预判整个演讲内容，以达到良好的演讲效果。
比如，乔布斯在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲中，开篇稍微寒暄之后就进入正题：“Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.”听众马上能对演讲内容做出预判——今天会听到乔布斯谈三点，然后他们会关注具体是哪三点。
这种演讲就具备了“以观众为中心”的特质。
乔布斯在随后的演讲中分别提到，The first story is about connecting the dots.My second story is about love and loss.My third story is about death.由于演讲思路非常明晰，听众在听完之后也会记忆犹新。
当然，演讲稿在结构方面的逻辑顺序有许多种，乔布斯的这篇演讲是按照话题顺序和时间顺序来安排的。
除此之外，还有空间顺序，“提出问题——分析问题——解决问题”的顺序等。
大家可以根据不同演讲内容的需要来安排自己演讲稿的逻辑顺序和整体结构。
开篇出彩，吸引听众 演讲稿的开篇往往需要花费大量的功夫去设计。
在写作开篇时，演讲者需要结合听众特点、演讲场合和演讲主题等因素，争取在一开始就紧紧抓住听众的注意力和兴趣。
下面笔者就介绍一下基本的演讲开篇模式，供大家以后写作演讲稿参考。
演讲稿开篇的目的是吸引听众。
乔布斯在他的演讲稿开篇使用的是“关联话题与听众”的方式。
这是一种比较有效的方法，因为人们一般对自己的事情都很关注，和自己相关的事情也会格外留意。
乔布斯在演讲开篇说道：I am honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.高度赞美斯坦福大学——这就是在与听众发生关联。
乔布斯就是通过这种方式让听众一开始就对自己产生好感或对自己的演讲内容产生兴趣。
当然，乔布斯还用了适当的幽默，更好地融洽了与听众的关系。
除了乔布斯的这种开篇方式外，我们还需要了解和掌握其他一些开篇方式：①指出演讲话题的重要性。
比如要做一场关于“英语演讲的艺术”的演讲，演讲者在一开始就可以指出该演讲对于听众今后的学习、工作将会有很大帮助，甚至可以给出一些数据和实例，让听众明白不听这个演讲将会是一个损失，这样听众就会乐于认真听演讲了。
②使听众感到震惊。
例如要做一场关于“生活方式与疾病”的演讲，开篇就可以给出一组极具冲击力的数据，让听众看到生活方式不健康将会产生多么可怕的后果，这样的震惊能够使听众快速调整状态，投入到听演讲中去。
③引起听众的好奇心。
演讲者可以在开篇指出一种特别的现象，听众出于好奇就会认真听演讲，想知道演讲者如何分析或解释。
④向观众提问。
演讲者可以在开篇提出一个问题，这样可以引发听众的思考，也会引导他们去听演讲者如何解答问题。
此外，也可以在开篇引用一段名言，或是讲述一个故事等，这些基本的开篇方式被无数的演讲证明是实用而且有效的。
观点明确，支撑有效 毫无疑问，在演讲稿中，主体段的信息量最大，写作量也最大。
如何清晰地阐释演讲者的观点或演讲要点，如何用相关事实有效地支撑演讲者的各个论点或要点，是演讲稿主体段写作时应该把握的关键。
乔布斯在斯坦福大学的毕业演讲中明确给出了三个要点：① The first story is about connecting the dots. ② My second story is about love and loss. ③ My third story is about death.为了清晰、有效地阐述自己想要表达的这三个要点，他运用了以下三种手段：首先是举例子。
乔布斯在演讲中用了大量的事例来说明他怎么对待学习、工作和死亡。
比如他说自己读书时旁听有意思的书法课程，这些课在当时对他没什么实质帮助，但是十年后在当他设计第一款Macintosh电脑的时候，这些东西全派上了用场，这个例子充分说明了他演讲的第一个要点——串起生命中的点滴。
另一个手段是引用。
乔布斯在演讲中引用了一些名言警句来阐述自己的观点。
比如在讲到死亡时，他引用了一句格言：“If you live each day as if it was your last， someday you’ll most certainly be right.”这句话表明了他对于生命和死亡的看法，使听众印象深刻。
第三个手段是数据支持。
在讲第二个故事——关于爱和失去时，乔布斯用了一系列数据来支撑自己的观点。
他说自己是幸运的，因为Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation—the Macintosh—a year earlier, and I'd just turned 30.数据很直观，能让听众更直接地认识和理解演讲内容。
结尾有“道”，画龙点睛 演讲的结尾往往需要起到“画龙点睛”的作用，要尽量做到意味深长、启发思考。
开篇和正文再好，如果结尾过于平淡，整个演讲的精彩程度也会大打折扣。
那么如何做到结尾有“道”呢
首先我们来看看乔布斯的这篇演讲稿，他的结尾比开篇更加出彩，采用的是“引文结尾”的方式，达到了引人深思的效果。
他在结尾说道：Stewart and his team put out several issues of the Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words 'Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.' It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.乔布斯不仅在演讲结尾引用了这句Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish（求知若渴，虚怀若谷），而且重复三遍，强化了听众的印象。
这句话后来也被广泛传播，被誉为该篇演讲的精髓。
除了乔布斯这种“引文结尾”的方式，常见的演讲结尾方式还有如下几种：①总结演讲。
对演讲中的各个论点或要点进行简单总结和梳理，加深听众的印象。
②强有力的陈述。
这种方式不同于引用他人之言，往往是演讲者自己的总结和心声。
一个非常经典的例子是Patrick Henry的演讲“Liberty or Death”。
他在结尾时说道：“Is life so dear， or peace so sweet， as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery
Forbid it， Almighty God
I know not what course others may take； but as for me， give me liberty， or give me death
”③首尾呼应。
在演讲结尾对开篇提到的主题和重点进行重新阐述，这是体现演讲内在统一性的经典形式，值得借鉴。
为了更加有效地掌握文中讲到的写作演讲稿的要点，笔者建议大家做到以下三点：①多看。
多看一些演讲素材，比如名人演讲、演讲比赛优秀选手的演讲等，积累大量的一手素材；也有必要阅读一些关于英语公共演讲的书籍，笔者在此推荐Stephen E. Lucas的《演讲的艺术》(The Art of Public Speaking)一书。
②多想。
学会分析这些演讲之所以精彩的原因，可以从笔者上面讲的几点入手分析。
③多练。
在有了一定的积累之后，要大量练习写作演讲稿，话题可以从日常学习和工作中选取，这样练习起来会更有兴趣和成就感。
（如能帮到您，望您采纳

求布莱尔在“2008奥运 冠军论坛”上演讲的演讲稿
布莱尔官网上找的Speech to 'What Makes a Champion?' in BeijingCHECK AGAINST DELIVERYThis is China's moment. A moment to celebrate its culture, civilisation and achievement. A moment to thank the Chinese people for their warmth, their ingenuity and their enterprise. A moment to recognise that whatever the challenges - political, social and economic - there is, in this country, the will, the determination and the humanity to make the future work for China; and in partnership with other nations and cultures, to make it work for people everywhere.What makes a Champion? We must start with an uncomfortable truth: natural talent helps and especially in sport!I remember still, almost 45 years ago now, running in my first competitive race at my school Sports Day. I remember the running track, grass freshly mowed. A sunny day. The race was over 440 yards. Four times round our small track. I settled in behind the lead runner, calculating to overtake him on the last bend before the straight run to the finish. The race went to plan until just as I reached the bend, I tried to sprint forward. Suddenly, my legs just didn't have the energy. The mental will was there. The physical capacity was not. I remember that feeling of shock and disappointment now as clear as I did then, the disconnection between desire and ability. I still have my silver cup for coming second. But silver was not what I wanted. I wanted gold.We will applaud the champions of the Olympics knowing that most of us would never have been able to do what they have done.But I chose to try to be a champion in a different field and it is also true that most people have innate talent at something. Champions are not just athletes. They are scientists, entrepreneurs, artists, philanthropists. They are people who the world sees in photos and on TV, people of fame and wealth. But they are just as often people no one outside a small circle has heard of: champions of compassion, of fortitude under suffering, of works of humanity towards others. Such champions often enjoy less fame or fortune when alive; but are more often commemorated after death. They are champions of the human spirit.So it is right that not everyone can be a champion. But many, perhaps even most of us, have the capacity to do something exceptionally well. Most of us have a gift.The issue is: how to develop that gift? What are the qualities that take the talent and turn it into an achievement, that translate the ordinary into the extraordinary?Because for sure, there is a part, perhaps even the major part of being a champion that is not to do with natural physique or natural intellect but is to do with character, attitude, the dimension of the mind that can be discovered and developed. You can improve. You can, in doing so, cross the line between the average and the good and in time even the line between the good and the outstanding.It can be dangerous to describe rules of improvement, to try to codify the qualities. Champions are about exceptions, not rules.Nonetheless, I believe it is possible to identify characteristics you find in champions. I have chosen seven.First, success comes to those who strive. Striving is a better concept than merely being competitive. In the Bible, Jacob is renamed after wrestling with God whilst asleep. He was thereafter called Israel meaning striving with God. To me, striving is more than wanting to be the best. It means even if you are the best, striving to be better. It is the product of a spirit that is restless for still greater things. It can mean a state of perpetual dissatisfaction, certainly with yourself. Of course, it shows up in a strong competitive streak when in a race, be that in sport or a political campaign or anything else. But it is also an attitude that illustrates that the competitor is as much competing with himself as with others in the same race.Secondly, champions are creative people. They are innovative. They are always pushing to the new frontier. They don't accept the givens of any field of endeavour. They challenge them. They are non-conventional people. Anyone I have ever met in any field, who is successful, is creative. That applies, incidentally, to the lawyer or the banker as much as the artist or thinker. The creative process is always fascinating to behold. It begins with an analytical capability that is free, not hidebound; not shackled to what has gone before. I always found in politics that people had an amazing predisposition to conduct a debate within very defined parameters. This is what to be left-wing meant. This is what right-wing meant. This is the way the state works. This is how public services or welfare systems operate. Within the parameters debate is lively. But the parameters themselves are rarely challenged. Creative people challenge the parameters. They go back to the first principles of a subject. They ask not the superficial but the profound questions.Which brings me to the third quality. Champions are endlessly inquisitive. I begin every day, hoping to learn something new. I regularly contemplate the vast expanses of my ignorance. I was hopeless at science at school. I regretted it ever since. I would love to learn about it now. But even in my chosen field of politics I am always searching for new insights, for original thinking, for something that makes me think anew and afresh. This also means knowing you can be wrong. You may have to re-think, and possibly radically. The characteristic of a champion is that they are prepared to do so.All of this takes application and hard work.The fourth quality is therefore self discipline. That is more than just the hours you put in. But it is the discipline to lay aside other pleasures and concentrate hard on your own development. It is about focus and single mindedness. I remember meeting a famous pop star once who you may have thought was just a good time rock and roller. I asked him: how do you do it? and before he could reply, his partner said simply: he is the most disciplined person I know. It is not just about deciding to work rather than spend an extra hour in the bar. It is about absorption in your task, about deep not shallow thought, about getting down to the core of what you are trying to achieve. It is about not accepting second best; about knowing in your heart, when something is not good enough and can and should be better. Notice that this is self discipline. Past a certain point, you and only you can provide that intensity of will.The fifth quality is courage. No champion is without courage. It may be physical, it may be intellectual. It may be of mind or body. There is no greater courage than that shown by the Paralympians. These are the people who have not just demonstrated the normal will-power of champions, but in doing so have overcome by their passion to succeed their disability. Their courage gives hope to all. Special salutations to them.Courage is invariably found in a champion. Inevitably a champion is out in front. Championship is like leadership. When things are in the balance, when you cannot be sure, when others are uncertain or hesitate, when the very point is that the outcome is in doubt; that is when a leader steps forward. The soldier who comes to help his fallen comrade. The health worker who risks their life to save the lives of others. The political activist who stands up for what is right when what is right is not what is popular or expedient. This is the person who when the mantle of responsibility is floating free reaches out and puts it on. The courage lies not in acting without fear; but in acting despite fear.Such people are the people who are prepared just to go for it; to back their instinct when their instinct is all the certainty they are going to get. Taking the uncalculated risk is just foolhardy. But a calculated risk is still a risk. Calculate too much and you miscalculate. You wait for the perfect moment when such moments rarely if ever exist. At a certain point you have to step forward, with an insecure terrain beneath your feet.What this means is that you must also be prepared to fail. This is the sixth and possibly the toughest quality of all. The strange irony of the champion is that the champion must be able to live with failure as well as enjoy success. The very act of courage, of leadership that sees you step out into the unknowable, carries with it the possibility of defeat. You must be willing to be humbled as well as exalted. You must accept that the risk, however calculated, may not pay off.One of the most common reasons why people don't strive is the fear of failure. Yet virtually no one I have ever met who has succeeded, has not failed first. The question is what you learn from the experience, what you learn not just about the process of competing, but about yourself, the strengths you should exploit, the weaknesses you must eliminate.The seventh quality is one some will disagree with; but which I think is the most essential of all. I believe that if you are to be a true champion, you must be motivated by more that you. If the striving is purely selfish, if the love of personal achievement is purely the personal glory, something is missing; some aspect of championship that is elusive in definition but critical in action, Some people may see this in spiritual terms; that is one way of looking at it. Another way is simply a belief that to achieve to the highest level and beyond, to extend the frontiers of human knowledge or activity, is in and of itself, something good or worthy, noble even; that fulfils a purpose beyond your own recognition of your own self worth.There is a reason why so many people who are champions look to use their success in helping others. Such a sentiment is located somewhere in the champion's character. It is the same reason you chose Nelson Mandela to launch this idea at the Sydney Olympics in the year 2000. Over the next three to six weeks or so of the Olympics and Paralympics, this city will be sparkling with the glittering accomplishments of the greatest sporting event in the world and billions around the world will share in the expectation, excitement and exhilaration of it all.But we know in this same world, there is poverty, ignorance, and disease all of it preventable if humanity had the will. We know there is conflict and discord where fellow human beings suffer and die. We know there are challenges like the changing of our climate, which call us to take responsibility and to lead.This month it is the Olympics. Next month, with rather less fanfare and publicity, will be the UN General Assembly where we will debate the Millennium Development Goals set by the world's nations in the year 2000 and due to be met in the year 2015. At present we will not meet them. We will fail, and if we do, the price is paid in the lives and misery of those who also would like to strive and compete in the world's myriad of opportunities to be champions, but who cannot.The true champion is not just a winner. He or she is a person of compassion, of humanity, motivated by a sense of obligation to others as strong as the will to succeed for themselves.So as we think of the champions who will stand proud on the podium, with their medals, with their nation's anthem ringing in their ears, let a part of the Olympiad spirit that is about human dignity as well as human achievement, take us to the places in our world desperate for our help. Let us hear the cries of the poor, dispossessed and oppressed, and summon up the true character of the champion to answer them.Felicitations once again to the Chinese people. We are delighted to share in your pride and happiness. We wish this great country of China well for the Olympics and Paralympics. Thank you.ENDS

奥巴马2013年就职演说的题目是什么
就职演讲：重申美国建国精神 强调人人平等 MR. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much. Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: 谢谢，非常感谢大家。
拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。
Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。
我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。
我们重申，将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们的肤色，也不是 我们信仰的教条，更不是我们名字的来源。
让我们与众不同，让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。
200多年前，这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述： “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” “我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。
造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。
” Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed. 今天，我们继续着这一未竟的征程，架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。
因为历史告诉我们，即便这些真理是不言而喻的，它们也从来不会自动生效。
因为虽 然自由是上帝赋予的礼物，但仍需要世间的子民去捍卫。
1776年，美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王的暴政而战，也不是为赢得少数人的特权，建立暴民的 统治。
先驱们留给我们一个共和国，一个民有、民治、民享的政府。
他们委托每一代美国人捍卫我们的建国信条。
For more than two hundred years, we have. 在过去的200多年里，我们做到了。
Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together. 从奴役的血腥枷锁和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了，建立在自由与平等原则之上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由的状态。
我们赢得了新生，誓言共同前进。
Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers。
我们共同努力，建立起现代的经济体系。
架设铁路与高速公路，加速了旅行和商业交流。
建立学校与大学，培训我们的工人。
Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play. 我们一起发现，自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。
Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune. 我们共同决定让这个伟大的国家远离危险，保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸的侵扰。
Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character. 一路走来，我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。
我们同样不屈服于这一谎言：一切的社会弊端都能够只靠政府来解决。
我们对积极向上与奋发进取的赞扬，我们对努力工作与个人责任的坚持，这些都是美国精神的基本要义。
But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people. 我们也理解，时代在变化，我们同样需要变革。
对建国精神的忠诚，需要我们肩负起新的责任，迎接新的挑战。
保护我们的个人自由，最终需要所有人的共同努力。
因为美国人不能再独力迎接当今世界的挑战，正如美国士兵们不能再像先辈一样，用步枪和民兵同敌人(法西斯主义与共产主义)作战。
一个人无法培训所有的数学 与科学老师，我们需要他们为了未来去教育孩子们。
一个人无法建设道路、铺设网络、建立实验室来为国内带来新的工作岗位和商业机会。
现在，与以往任何时候相比，我们都更需要团结合作。
作为一个国家，一个民族团结起来。
This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together. 这一代美国人经历了危机的考验，经济危机坚定了我们的决心，证明了我们的恢复力。
长达十年的战争正在结束，经济的复苏已经开始。
美国的可能性是无限的，因 为我们拥有当今没有边界的世界所需要的所有品质：年轻与活力、多样性与开放、无穷的冒险精神以及创造的天赋才能。
我亲爱的同胞们，我们正是为此刻而生，我 们更要在此刻团结一致，抓住当下的机会。
For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own. 因为我们，美国人民，清楚如果只有不断萎缩的少数人群体获得成功，而大多数人不能成功，我们的国家就无法成功。
我们相信，美国的繁荣必须建立在不断上升的 中产阶级的宽阔臂膀之上，我们知道美国的繁荣只有这样才能实现。
只有当每个人都能找到工作中的自立与自豪时才能实现。
只有当诚实劳动获得的薪水足够让家庭 摆脱困苦的悬崖时才能实现。
我们忠诚于我们的事业，保证让一个出生于最贫穷环境中的小女孩都能知道，她有同其他所有人一样的成功机会。
因为她是一个美国人，她是自由的、平等的。
她的自由平等不仅由上帝来见证，更由我们亲手保护。
We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give real meaning to our creed. 我们知道，我们已然陈旧的程序不足以满足时代的需要。
我们必须应用新理念和新技术重塑我们的政府，改进我们的税法，改革我们的学校，让我们的公民拥有他们 所需要的技能，更加努力地工作，学更多的知识，向更高处发展。
这意味着变革，我们的目标是：国家可以奖励每个美国人的努力和果断。
这是现在需要的。
这将给我们的信条赋予真正的意义。
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great. 我们，人民，仍然认为，每个公民都应当获得基本的安全和尊严。
我们必须做出艰难抉择，降低医疗成本，缩减赤字规模。
但我们拒绝在照顾建设国家的这一代和投 资即将建设国家的下一代间做出选择。
因为我们记得过去的教训：老年人的夕阳时光在贫困中度过，家有残障儿童的父母无处求助。
我们相信，在这个国家，自由不 只是那些幸运儿的专属，或者说幸福只属于少数人。
我们知道，不管我们怎样负责任地生活，我们任何人在任何时候都可能面临失业、突发疾病或住房被可怕的飓风 摧毁的风险。
我们通过医疗保险、联邦医疗补助计划、社会保障项目向每个人做出承诺，这些不会让我们的创造力衰竭，而是会让我们更强大。
这些不会让我们成为充满不劳而获者的国度，这些让我们敢于承担风险，让国家伟大。
experience is the teacher的英语作文实例
Experience Is the Best Teacher Admittedly,books have been being considered a very important way to gain knowledge for a long time,especially in China.Thus learning from books is highly valued and that’s the reason why our own examination system could continue up to now through thousand of years.Nevertheless,from my point of view,gaining knowledge from experience is more significant than from books. There is no doubt that learning from books is one of the most prevailing means in our growth of knowledge.Almost all the people in the world attach great significance to the study and research of books in the long learning career because it’s wider in range and deeper in contents compared with learning from experience.After all,the knowledge from books is far more abundant than those we acquire through the experience of life.And on the other hand,learning from books breaks the limitation of time and space restriction in a sense. However,I do believe that one learn best from doing.As the proverb goes,knowledge starts with practice.If we just keep learning book knowledge all along without any practice,then we are at most only learn some useless knowledge.Ever since ancient times,we Chinese have paid much attention to the summary of experience,which made the ancients create a large number of great inventions and become well-known around the ancient world.Many great achievements of foreign scientists,such as gravity theory of Newton,steam engine of Watt and so on,were also based on the summary of previous experience.What ’ s more,we will never learn to play basketball,play the piano,repair car or speak foreign language by reading books.Those knowledge may all be contained in books but if we do not apply it to practical life we will never have a good command of it.Maybe we sometimes make mistakes,whereas actually the experience from mistakes and failures enables us to make a breakthrough in most cases.That is to say,learning knowledge from experience is an extremely important and efficient way for study in our daily life,even the book,to some extent,is also a product that summarize experience.The knowledge from books ,therefore,is only auxiliary and we must combine it with practical experience to achieve the best effect. In a word,knowledge gained from books and knowledge gained from experience are just like people ’ s hands and learning from experience is the dominant hand.Anyhow,we ought to become good at summarizing experience to learn some knowledge while having a enough understanding of knowledge from books.Only in this way can we definitely say that we grasp the true knowledge.
