有没有世界著名英语演讲稿,类似葛底斯堡演讲的
马丁路德金的I have a dream 曼德拉九四年就职演讲稿
背诵英语演讲稿 比如奥巴马的演讲稿子 有什么作用 对于高中生来说? 谢谢
多模仿一些著名英文演讲,如比尔盖茨在哈佛演讲、林肯葛底斯堡演说、还有你说的奥巴马演讲等,能够快速提高你的口语水平,并增强自己说英语的自信心,对于培养对英语的兴趣也很有好处。
林肯总统的演讲稿
林肯最出名的演讲是 《林肯在葛底斯堡的演讲》 林肯在葛底斯堡的演讲:(是美国文学中最漂亮、最富有诗意的文章之一,用时不到2分钟) 八十七年以前,我们的祖先在这块大陆上创立了一个孕育于自由的新国家。
他们主张人人生而平等,并为此献身。
现在我们正进行一场伟大的内战,这是一场检验这一国家或者任何一个像我们这样孕育于自由并信守其主张的国家是否能长久存在的战争。
我们聚集在这场战争中的一个伟大战场上,将这个战场上的一块土地奉献给那些在此地为了这个国家的生存而牺牲了自己生命的人,作为他们的最终安息之所。
我们这样做是完全适当和正确的。
可是,从更广的意义上说,我们并不能奉献这块土地——我们不能使之神圣 ——我们也不能使之光荣。
因为那些在此地奋战过的勇士们,不论是还活着的或是已死去的,已经使这块土地神圣了,远非我们微薄的力量所能予以增减的。
世人将不大会注意,更不会长久记住我们在这里所说的话,然而,他们将永远不会忘记这些勇士在这里所做的事。
相反地,我们活着的人,应该献身于勇士们未竞的工作,那些曾在此地战斗过的人们已经把这项工作英勇地向前推进了。
我们应该献身于留在我们面前的伟大任务——由于他们的光荣牺牲,我们会更加献身于他们为之奉献了最后一切的事业 ——我们要下定决心使那些死去的人不致自白牺牲——我们要使这个国家在上帝的庇佑下,获得自由的新生——我们要使这个民主、民治、民享的政府不致从地球上消失。
奥巴马的演讲稿(中英对照)
My fellow citizens:我的同胞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.今天我站在这里,看到眼临的重大任务,深感卑微。
我你们对我的信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。
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 forbearers, and true to our founding documents.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。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.前辈们如此,我们这一代美国人也要如此。
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 healthcare 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.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,很多企业倒闭。
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。
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.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。
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。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.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。
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.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。
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.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。
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 short-cuts 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 labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.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。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the west; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.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)诺曼底、(越战中的)Khe Sahn,他们征战、死去。
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.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。
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。
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 healthcare'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. And all this we will do.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。
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。
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. And 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.

我的推荐希望lz喜欢,泰戈尔的额《飞鸟集》非常棒,有英汉对照
前30句,很精彩
飞鸟集泰戈尔(中英文对照) 1 夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。
秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息一声,飞落在那里。
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign. 2 世界上的一队小小的漂泊者呀,请留下你们的足印在我的文字里。
O Troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words. 3 世界对着它的爱人,把它浩翰的面具揭下了。
它变小了,小如一首歌,小如一回永恒的接吻。
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal. 4 是大地的泪点,使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。
It is the tears of the earth that keep here smiles in bloom. 5 无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱,她摇摇头笑着飞开了。
The mighty desert is burning for the love of a bladeof grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away. 6 如果你因失去了太阳而流泪,那么你也将失去群星了。
If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. 7 跳舞着的流水呀,在你途中的泥沙,要求你的歌声,你的流动呢。
你肯挟 瘸足的泥沙而俱下么
The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness 8 她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂。
Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. 9 有一次,我们梦见大家都是不相识的。
我们醒了,却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。
Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. 10 忧思在我的心里平静下去,正如暮色降临在寂静的山林中。
Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees. 11 有些看不见的手,如懒懒的微(风思)的,正在我的心上奏着 潺(氵爰)的乐声。
Some unseen fingers, like an idle breeze, are playing upon my heart the music of the ripples. 12 “海水呀,你说的是什么
” “是永恒的疑问。
” “天空呀,你回答的话是什么
” “是永恒的沉默。
” What language is thine, O sea The language of eternal question. What language is thy answer, O sky The language of eternal silence. 13 静静地听,我的心呀,听那世界的低语,这是它对你求爱的表示呀。
Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you. 14 创造的神秘,有如夜间的黑暗--是伟大的。
而知识的幻影却不过如晨间 之雾。
The mystery of creation is like the darkness of night--it is great. Delusions of knowledge are like the fog of the morning. 15 不要因为峭壁是高的,便让你的爱情坐在峭壁上。
Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high. 16 我今晨坐在窗前,世界如一个路人似的,停留了一会,向我点点头又走过 去了。
I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes. 17 这些微(风思),是树叶的簌簌之声呀;它们在我的心里欢悦地微语着。
There little thoughts are the rustle of leaves; they have their whisper of joy in my mind. 18 你看不见你自己,你所看见的只是你的影子。
What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow. 19 神呀,我的那些愿望真是愚傻呀,它们杂在你的歌声中喧叫着呢。
让我只是静听着吧。
My wishes are fools, they shout across thy song, my Master. Let me but listen. 20 我不能选择那最好的。
是那最好的选择我。
I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me. 21 那些把灯背在背上的人,把他们的影子投到了自己前面。
They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back. 22 我的存在,对我是一个永久的神奇,这就是生活。
That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life. 23 “我们萧萧的树叶都有声响回答那风和雨。
你是谁呢,那样的沉默着
” “我不过是一朵花。
” We, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent I am a mere flower. 24 休息与工作的关系,正如眼睑与眼睛的关系。
Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes. 25 人是一个初生的孩子,他的力量,就是生长的力量。
Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth. 26 神希望我们酬答他,在于他送给我们的花朵,而不在于太阳和土地。
God expects answers for the flowers he sends us, not for the sun the earth. 27 光明如一个裸体的孩子,快快活活地在绿叶当中游戏,它不知道人是会欺 诈的。
The light that plays, like a naked child, among the green leaves happily knows not that man can lie. 28 啊,美呀,在爱中找你自己吧,不要到你镜子的谄谀去找寻。
O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror. 29 我的心把她的波浪在世界的海岸上冲激着,以热泪在上边写着她的题记: “我爱你。
” My heart beats her waves at the shore of the world and writes upon it her signature in tears with the words, I love thee. 30 “月儿呀,你在等候什么呢
” “向我将让位给他的太阳致敬。
” Moon, for what do you wait To salute the sun for whom I must make way.
