谁有美国各大总统的经典演讲稿
谢谢。
演讲者简介: 是一位战争英雄,普利策奖获得者,五十年代大部分时间里的参议员。
1960年的11月,年仅43岁的他成为选择产生的最年轻的总统。
1963年11月22日他在的达拉斯遇刺身亡,是上第四位死于暗杀者的子弹的总统。
Let the word go forth, from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness, or permit, the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which. we are committed today at home and around the world. 此时,让这个声音从这里同时向我们的朋友和敌人传达:火炬现已传递到新一代美国人手中——他们生于本世纪,既经受过战火的锤炼,又经历过艰难严峻的和平岁月的考验。
他们深为我们古老的遗产所自豪——决不愿目睹或听任诸项人权受到无形的侵蚀,这些权利不仅为这个国家始终信守不渝,亦是我们正在国内和世界上誓死捍卫的东西。
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. 让每一个国家都知道,无论它们对我们抱有善意还是恶意,我们都准备付出任何代价、承受任何重任、迎战任何艰险、支持任何朋友、反对任何敌人,以使自由得以维系和取得胜利。
To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our words that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny We sha1l not always expect to tind them supporting our view, but we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom, and to remember that in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside. 对那些我们欢迎其加入到自由行列中来的新国家,我们恪守我们的誓言:决不让一种更为残酷的暴政来取代一种消失的。
我们并不总是指望他们会支持我们的观点。
但我们始终希望看到他们坚强地维护自己的自由--而且要记住,在历史上,凡愚蠢地者,终必葬身虎口。
To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. 对于我们的南部邻邦共和国,我们许以特殊的承诺:将我们的良言转为善行,在为了进步而结成的新盟邦里,帮助自由的人民和自由的政府摆脱贫困。
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. 因此让我们重新开始,双方都记住:礼让并不表示软弱,而诚意则永远需要验证。
Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a cal1 to bear arms, though arms we need, not as a call to battle, though in battle we are, but a call to bear the burden of a long, twilight struggle, year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny poverty disease, and war itself. 现在,号角已再次吹响---不是召唤我们拿起武器,虽然我们需要武器;不是召唤我们去作战,虽然我们严阵以待。
它召唤我们为迎接黎明而肩负起漫长斗争的重任,年复一年,从希望中得到欢乐,在磨难中保持耐性,对付人类共同的敌人---专制、社团、疾病和战争本身。
就贴这么多吧,此篇演讲可谓是一篇经典之作,之后几位总统就职演讲中曾屡次引用过,比如其中的And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
谁能帮我写一篇竞选美国总统的演讲稿
周四之前,谢了
长度大概3~5分钟的演讲稿
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of AmericaIt’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America. A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain. Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America. 最后。

奥巴马在2004年选举美国总统的演讲稿
是这篇么...是的我请选择我吧..感激不尽Obama: The Change We Need This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression -- 760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year. Businesses and families can't get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher. At a moment like this, we can't afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. America needs a new direction. That's why I'm running for president of the United States. Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need. My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably. He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party. But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time. And when it comes to the economy, he still can't tell the American people one major thing he'd do differently from George Bush. It's not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans -- a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class. It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years. It's not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk -- a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said 'raises more questions than it answers.' If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers. That's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made -- businessmen like Warren Buffett, whose support I'm proud to have. That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator -- it's been the world's greatest job generator. It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history. To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families. If you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you'll get a tax cut. If you make more than $250,000, you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s -- and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan. We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country. I'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil. When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now. My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history. My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American. If you already have health insurance, the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums. If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of Congress get for themselves. To give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, I'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers. But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability. And we'll make a deal with every young American: If you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition. And when it comes to keeping this country safe, I'll end the Iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while it sits on a huge surplus. For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up. I'll finally finish the fight against bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9\\\/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that America remains the last, best hope of Earth. None of this will be easy. It won't happen overnight. But I believe we can do this because I believe in America. This is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could; that even if they couldn't have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own. And at every moment in our history, we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never forgotten the fundamental truth that in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us. So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter. I ask you to believe -- not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. Tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed. You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election -- together, we will change this country and change the world. 现在是美国历史的关键时刻。
我们面临着大萧条以来最为严重的一场经济危机:今年以来已经有76万人失业;企业和家庭无法获得信贷;房价不断下滑,养老金日益缩水;工资降到了十年来的最低水平,同时医疗和教育成本却涨到了有史以来的最高点。
在眼下这样的危急时刻,我们承受不起又一个四年的支出增长、千疮百孔的减税措施、或是监管全无──即使是美国联邦储备委员会(Fed)前主席格林斯潘(Alan Greenspan)现在也承认那是个错误。
美国需要一个新的方向。
这也正是我竞选美国总统的原因所在。
明天,也就是周二,你们将有能力赋予这个国家我们所需要的变革。
Corbis我的竞选对手麦凯恩参议员为美国作出的贡献令人尊敬。
他甚至可以指出他过去曾有几次与自己的党派分道扬镳。
然而,在过去八年中,他十之八九都赞同布什总统的主张。
而在经济问题上,他仍然无法向美国民众说明,他与布什的做法会有什么太大区别。
如果提出的税收计划没有让1亿多美国中产阶级获得一分钱的税项减免,这不是变革──即使是《国家评论》(National Review)杂志和其他保守派组织也抱怨说,这个计划对造福中产阶级贡献寥寥。
在近年来不断累积的财政赤字上再添5万亿美元,这不是变革。
如果解决房市危机的计划又将另外3,000亿美元纳税人的钱置于风险之中,这不是变革──《华尔街日报》编辑委员会称这一计划“产生的问题比解决的问题多”。
如果说我们从此次经济危机中学到了什么的话,那就是我们要患难与共。
从首席执行长到公司股东,从金融家到工厂工人,我们每个人都休戚相关,因为美国的民众越富足,美国才会越繁荣。
这就是为什么我们有些企业巨头把提高员工薪酬作为自己的一项使命,让员工能买得起自己生产的产品,比如巴菲特(Warren Buffett)这样的商界人士。
我对能有他的支持感到自豪。
这就是为什么美国经济不仅是世界上最伟大的财富创造者,也是世界上最伟大的就业机会制造者。
它一直托举着有史以来规模最大的中产阶级之舟。
为了重塑美国中产阶级,我将给予95%的工人及其家庭税收减免待遇。
如果你工作,就交税;如果年收入不足20万美元,你会获得减税;即使你的年收入超过了25万美元,你所负担的税率也比上世纪九十年代要低──资本利得税和股息税要比里根总统时期低三分之一。
通过重建日益破败的基础设施、在美国的各个角落接通宽带,我们将创造200万个就业岗位。
未来的十年中,我将每年在可再生能源领域投资150亿美元,进而新增500万个岗位;这些工作环保、薪酬丰厚、不能外包,而且能帮助我们摆脱对中东石油的依赖。
在医疗问题上,我们不必在政府运营的体系和目前这种我们难以负担的体系之间进行选择。
我的竞选对手提出的方案会令美国人有史以来首次为自己获得的医疗福利纳税。
我的计划则会让医疗保健成为每个美国人都负担得起、享受得到的服务。
根据我的计划,如果你已经有了医疗保险,你将看到的唯一一个变化是保费降低;如果你还没有医疗保险,你将能与国会议员们享受到同样的医疗福利。
为了让每个孩子享受到世界级的教育,让他们能在全球经济中竞争21世纪的工作岗位,我将投资早期教育,并且增加师资力量。
不过,我同时也会要求更高的标准和更多的责任。
我们向每个美国年轻人作出承诺:如果你致力于服务你的社区或是你的国家,我们将确保你能负担得起自己的学费。
在国防安全问题上,我将负责任地结束伊拉克战争,这样我们就不必在这个国家享有巨额财政盈余的情况下每月却要在那里花费100亿美元。
为了美国的经济、美国的军队和伊拉克的长期稳定,现在是伊拉克人站出来的时候了。
我将最终完成对本·拉登(Bin Laden)和基地组织恐怖分子的打击,正是这些人制造了9\\\/11恐怖袭击,同时我还会建立新的合作关系、击退21世纪出现的威胁,恢复我们的道德威望,让美国仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。
这些事情没有一件是轻而易举能办到的,也不是一朝一夕能完成的。
但是,我坚信我们能成功,因为我对美国深信不疑。
是美国使我们的父辈相信,即使他们自己无法上大学,也可以每周积攒下一些钱来,让他们的孩子接受好的教育;即使他们不能拥有自己的企业,也可以通过努力工作让自己的孩子创办企业。
在美国历史的每个时刻,我们都勇敢地站起来面对挑战,因为我们从来没有忘记过这样一个基本真理:在美国,我们的命运并非天定,而是掌握在我们自己的手中。
所以,明天,我恳请你们书写美国下一个伟大的篇章。
我恳请你们不只相信我带来变革的能力,还有你们自己的能力。
明天,你们可以选择这样一种政策──向美国中产阶级进行投入、创造新的就业岗位、实现经济增长让人人都有成功的机会。
你们可以选择希望而非恐惧、选择团结而非分裂、选择变革的希望而非墨守成规。
如果你们投我的票,我们将不仅赢得此次竞选,还将一起改变这个国家、改变这个世界。
世界经典著名演讲稿
美国当地1月20日上午12点05分(北京时间21日凌晨1点05分),第44届美国总巴马发表了就职演说。
为演讲全文实录: 我的同胞们, 今天我站在这里,看到眼前面临的重大任务,深感卑微。
我感谢你们对我的信任,也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。
我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献,以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。
迄今为止,已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。
总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣,但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。
在紧张的形势中,支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见,也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰,以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。
前辈们如此,我们这一代美国人也要如此。
现在我们都深知,我们身处危机之中。
我们的国家在战斗,对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨;国家的经济也受到严重的削弱,原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任,但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误,同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。
我们的人民正在失去家园,失去工作,很多且要倒闭。
社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望,而且每天都会有新的证据显示,我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力,同时也威胁着我们的星球。
统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。
危机难以测量,但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀——现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免,我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。
今天我要说,我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战,而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。
但是我们要相信,我们一定会度过难关。
今天,我们在这里齐聚一堂,因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望,摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。
今天,我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号,我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。
美国仍是一个年轻的国家,借用《圣经》的话说,放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。
重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来,我们要为历史作出更好的选择,我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利,秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念:上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由,以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。
在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时,我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的,伟大需要努力赢得。
(我们的民族一路走来),这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协,这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。
这条路是勇于承担风险者之路,是实干家、创造者之路。
这其中有一些人名留青史,但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。
正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行,带领我们走向富强和自由。
为了我们,先辈们带着微薄的细软,横渡大洋,寻找新生活;为了我们,先辈们忍辱负重,用血汗浇铸工厂;为了我们,先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作,定居他乡;为了我们,先辈们奔赴(独立战争中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二战中的)诺 一次又一次,我们的先辈们战斗着、牺牲着、操劳着,只为了我们可以生活得更好。
在他们看来,美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心,也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。
今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。
美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。
同危机初露端倪之时相比,美国人民的生产力依然旺盛;与上周、上个月或者去年相比,我们的头脑依然富于创造力,我们的商品和服务依然很有市场,我们的实力不曾削弱。
但是,可以肯定的是,轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。
从今天开始,我们必须跌倒后爬起来,拍拍身上的泥土,重新开始工作,重塑美国。
我目之所及,都有工作有待完成。
国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动,我们的确是要行动,不仅是要创造就业,更要为(下一轮经济)增长打下新的基础。
我们将造桥铺路,为企业铺设电网和数字线路,将我们联系在一起。
我们将回归科学,运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量,降低医疗费用。
我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆,为工厂提供能源。
我们将改革中小学以及大专院校,以适应新时代的要求。
这一切,我们都能做到,而且我们都将会做到。
现在,有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了,他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。
他们是健忘了。
他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就;他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时,自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。
这些怀疑论者的错误在于,他们没有意识到政治现实已经发生了变化,长期以来耗掉我们太多精力的陈腐政治论争已经不再适用。
今天,我们的问题不在于政府的大小,而在于政府能否起作用,政府能否帮助家庭找到薪水合适的工作、给他们可以负担得起的医疗保障并让他们体面地退休。
哪个方案能给与肯定的答案,我们就推进哪个方案。
哪个方案的答案是否定的,我们就选择终止。
而掌管纳税人税金的人应当承担起责任,合理支出,摒弃陋习,磊落做事,这有这样才能在政府和人民之间重建至关重要的相互信任。
我们面临的问题也不是市场好坏的问题。
市场创造财富、拓展自由的能力无可匹敌,但是这场危机提醒我们,如果没有监管,市场很可能就会失去控制,而且偏袒富人国家的繁荣无法持久。
国家经济的成败不仅仅取决于国内生产总值的大小,而且取决于繁荣的覆盖面,取决于我们是否有能力让所有有意愿的人都有机会走向富裕。
我们这样做不是慈善,而是因为这是确保实现共同利益的途径。
就共同防御而言,我们认为国家安全与国家理想的只能选其一的排他选择是错的。
面对我们几乎无法想像的危险,我们的先辈们起草了确保法治和个人权利的宪章。
一代代人民的鲜血夯实了这一宪章。
宪章中的理想依然照亮着世界,我们不能以经验之谈放弃这些理想。
因此我想对正在观看这一仪式的其他国家的人民和政府说,不论他们现在各国伟大的首府还是在如同我父亲出生地一般的小村落,我想让他们知道:对于每个追求和平和自尊的国家和个人而言,美国都是朋友,我们愿意再次领导大家踏上追寻之旅。
回想先辈们在抵抗法西斯主义之时,他们不仅依靠手中的导弹或坦克,他们还依靠稳固的联盟和坚定的信仰。
他们深知单凭自己的力量我们无法保护自己,他们也深知我们强大并不足以使我们有权利为所欲为。
他们明白,正是因为使用谨慎,我们的实力才不断增强;正是因为我们的事业是公正的、我们为世界树立了榜样,因为我们的谦卑和节制,我们才安全。
我们继承了这些遗产。
在这些原则的再次领导下,我们有能力应对新的威胁,我们需要付出更多的努力、进行国家间更广泛的合作以及增进国家间的理解。
首先,我们将以负责任的态度,将伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民,同时巩固阿富汗来之不易的和平。
对于老朋友和老对手,我们将继续努力,不遗余力,削弱核威胁,遏制全球变暖的幽灵。
我们不会为我们的生活方式感到报歉,我们会不动摇地捍卫我们的生活方式。
对于那些企图通过恐怖主义或屠杀无辜平民达成目标的人,我们要对他们说:我们的信仰更加坚定,不可动摇,你们不可能拖垮我们,我们定将战胜你们。
因为我们知道,我们的多元化遗产是一个优势,而非劣势。
我们国家里有基督徒也有穆斯林,有犹太教徒也有印度教徒,同时也有非宗教信徒。
我们民族的成长受到许多语言和文化的影响,我们吸取了这个星球上任何一个角落的有益成分。
正是因为我们民族曾亲尝过内战和种族隔离的苦酒,并且在经历了这些黑色的篇章之后变得更加强大更加团结,因此我们不由自主,只能相信一切仇恨终有一天都会成为过去,种族的划分不久就会消失,而且随着世界变得越来越小,我们相信终有一天人类共有的人性品德将会自动显现。
在迎接新的和平时代到来的过程中,美国需要发挥自己的作用。
上一页 [1] [2] [3] 下一页 思索前方的路,我们无时无刻不在铭记那些远征沙漠和偏远山区的英勇美国战士,对他们充满了感激之情,他们和那些安息在阿灵顿国家公墓之下的战争英雄们一样,给与我们启示。
我们尊敬他们,不仅因为他们是自由的守护者,还因为他们代表的是为国家服务的精神,他们自愿追寻比自身的价值更伟大的意义(美国国家之伟大)。
此时此刻,在这个要塑造一代人的时刻,我们需要的正是这样一种精神。
因为无论美国政府能做多少,必须做多少,美国国家的立国之本最终还是美国人的决心和信念。
于防洪堤坝决堤之时收留陌生受难者的善意,于在经济不景气的时候宁愿减少自己工时也不肯看着朋友失业的无私,正是他们支撑我们走过黑暗的时刻。
消防队员冲入满是浓烟的楼梯抢救生命的勇气,父母养育孩子的坚持,正是这些决定了我们的命运。
我们面临的挑战也许是新的,我们应对挑战的措施也许也是新的,但那些长期以来指导我们成功的价值观——勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心,还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义——却是历久弥新,这些价值观是可靠的。
他们是创造美国历史的无声力量。
我们现在需要的就是回归这些古老的价值观。
我们需要一个新的负责任的时代,一个觉醒的时代,每个国人都应意识到即我们对自己、对国家和世界负有责任,我们不应该不情愿地接受这些责任,而应该快乐地承担起这些责任。
我们应该坚定这一认识,即没有什么比全身心投入一项艰巨的工作更能锻炼我们的性格,更能获得精神上的满足。
这是公民应尽的义务,应做出的承诺。
我们自信源于对上帝的信仰,上帝号召我们要掌握自己的命运。
这就是我们自由和信仰的意义,这也是为何不同种族、不同信仰、不同性别和年龄的人可以同聚一堂在此欢庆的原因,也是我今天能站在这里庄严宣誓的原因,而在50多年前我的父亲甚至都不能成为地方餐馆的服务生。
所以,让我们铭记自己的身份,镌刻自己的足迹。
在美国诞生的时代,那最寒冷的岁月里,一群勇敢的爱国人士围着篝火在冰封的河边取暖。
首都被占领,敌人在挺进,冬天的雪被鲜血染成了红色。
在美国大革命最受质疑的时刻,我们的国父们这样说: “我们要让未来的世界知道……在深冬的严寒里,唯有希望和勇气才能让我们存活……面对共同的危险时,我们的城市和国家要勇敢地上前去面对。
” 今天的美国也在严峻的寒冬中面对共同的挑战,让我们记住国父们不朽的语言。
带着希望和勇气,让我们再一次勇敢地面对寒流,迎接可能会发生的风暴。
我们要让我们的子孙后代记住,在面临挑战的时候,我们没有屈服,我们没有逃避也没有犹豫,我们脚踏实地、心怀信仰,秉承了宝贵的自由权利并将其安全地交到了下一代的手中。
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。
