第一篇：令世界改觀的演講稿(英文)

A Word that Has Changed the World-------Jobs Steve

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I still remember Steve Jobs once said “Alive is to change the world, is there any other reason”.Yes, he had achieved his ambition.He was the father of the marvelous Apple.Without Steve Jobs, we would not have Apple company even our IT sphere would not have been flourished.Now you can see people around you enjoy the life that Apple has brought to them.He helped change computers from a geeky hobbyist's obsession to a necessity of modern life at work and home, and in the process he upended not just personal technology but the cellphone and music industries.For transformation of American industry, he ranks among his computer-age contemporary, Microsoft Corp.co-founder Bill Gates and other creative geniuses

Sure we think about the Mac and the mouse and all the iThings.But Steve Jobs didn’t just change the computer business, or technology, or advertising.He changed everything: culture, business, art and creativity.He did as much to bring the spirit of the 1960s into the American mainstream as the Beatles did.He democratized creativity.He set an example for rogues and renegades and mavericks of all kinds.Apple and their products have had an unmatched influence on how many of us work, play and communicate.They have also influenced how we think, create, design and market.I can’t think of another company that has had as much influence across as many areas of our personal and work lives.Steve Jobs had an undeniable passion for what he did-------Passion to make a difference.Such passion is well established as one of the key ingredients in the world's most successful businesses.Ladies and Gentlemen, just a few days ago, our Steve passed away, left us great pity.His brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives.The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

合眾國當時同該國處于和平狀態，并且，根據日本的請求，當時仍在同該國政府和該國天皇舉行著會話，但愿維持承平洋地域的和平，實際上，就在日本空隊伍中隊已經起頭轟炸美國瓦胡島然后一鐘頭，日本駐合眾國大使及其同事還向國務卿提交處理了對美國最近致日方的信函的正式答復。雖則復函聲言繼續現行交際談判已一無用法，它并未包羅關于戰爭或武裝進擊的威脅或暗示。

應該記錄在案的是：思量到夏威夷同日本的間隔，此次進擊顯然是很多天乃至若干禮拜之前就已蓄謀籌謀的。在籌謀的歷程中，日本政府通過虛假的聲明和表示但愿維護和平處心積慮地棍騙合眾國。

昨天對夏威夷群島的進擊，給美國海陸軍軍隊造成了緊張的損傷。我遺憾地告訴各位，很多美國人損失了生命。此外，據報告，美國商船在舊金山和火奴魯魯之間的公海上也遭到了魚雷襲擊。

昨天，日本政府已策動了對馬來亞的進擊。

昨夜，日本軍隊襲擊了噴鼻港。昨夜，日本軍隊攻擊了關島。

昨夜，日本軍隊攻擊了菲律賓群島。昨夜，日本人襲擊了威克島。今晨，日本人襲擊了中途島。因此，日本在整個承平洋地區范圍承平洋地區范圍策動了俄然攻勢。發生在昨天和今天的事證實了這一點。美國人民很是明白，并且十分清楚這關系到我們國家的安全和保存的緊張事態。

作為三軍總司令，我已申令，采取一切措施保衛我們的國家。我們整個國家都將永遠記住此次對我們的無恥進擊。

不論要用多長的時間才氣戰勝此次蓄謀已久的入侵，美國人民以自己的公理力量必患上贏患上絕對的勝利。我現在斷言，我們不僅要作出最大的努力來保衛我們自己，我們還將確保這種形式的違信棄義永遠不會再威脅到我們。我相信抒發了國會和人民的意志。

戰爭已經起頭。我國人民，我國國土和我國利益都處于緊張危險之中，對此我們不必閃爍其辭。

相信我們的武裝軍隊--依靠我國人民的堅定刻意--我們必將取患上最后的勝利--愿天主助我！我要求國會宣布：自1941年12月7日--禮拜天日本舉行無緣無故和鄙俚膽小的進擊時起，合眾國和日本帝國之間已處于戰爭狀態。美國第32任總統富蘭克林·d·羅斯福(franklin d.roosevelt)(1933-1945)，一直被視為美國歷史上最偉大的總統之一，是20世紀美國最孚人望和受愛戴的總統，也是美國歷史上惟一蟬聯4屆總統的人，從1933年3月起，直至1945年4月去世時截止，擔任職務長達12年。曾贏患上美國民眾長達7周的高支持率，創下歷史記錄。

富蘭克林·德拉諾·羅斯福出生于紐約。父親詹姆斯·羅斯福是一個百萬財主。母親薩拉·德拉諾比父親小26歲。羅斯福曾就讀于哈佛大學和哥倫比亞大學。1910年任紐約州參議員。1913年任海軍部副部長。1921年因患脊髓灰質炎致殘。1928年任紐約州長。1932年競選總統獲勝。執政后，以新政對付經濟危機，頗有成效，故獲患上1936年、1940年、1944年大選蟬聯。第二次世界大戰初，美國采取不參與政策，但對希特勒采取倔強手段，以租借法支持同盟國。1941年底，美國參戰。羅斯福代表美國兩次參加同盟國三巨頭會議。羅斯福政府提出了軸心國必需無條件投降的原則并獲患上了實施。羅斯福提出了建立聯合國的構想，也獲患上了實施。63歲時由于腦溢血去世。很多網友相信都看過影戲《珍珠港》(pearl harbor)，第二次世界大戰在歐亞大陸打的如火如荼，而跨海相隔的美國卻隔岸不雅火，仿佛事不關己。直至1941年12月7日早晨7點53分，日本奇襲美軍在夏威夷的基地珍珠港。次日，美國總統羅斯福在國會憤然揭曉了這篇的演講，至此，承平洋戰爭全面爆發。日本狙擊珍珠港的歷史違景：

日本從1941年中起頭向東南亞的發展引起了這個地域主要強國的不安，為了給日本一點顏色，美國凍結了對日本的經濟貿易，其中重要的是高辛烷石油，沒有石油日本的飛機無法仙游，艦艇無法在海中行駛，日本就無法繼續對外擴張。

加上日本的石油只能維持半年的時間，日本明白，要么從其中國撤軍，停止對外擴張，交際上向美國挨近。要么自組旗幟，南下奪取戰略資源，繼續加強對外侵略。南洋有美國，英國，荷蘭的半殖民地，進兵南洋就等于向美盎司國宣戰。

承平洋上的珍珠港是交通的主要樞紐，夏威夷東距美國西海岸，西距日本，西南到諸島群，北到阿拉斯加和白令海峽，都在2000海里到3000海里之間，跨越承平洋南來北往的飛機，都以夏威夷為中續站。日本認為先在承平洋上奪取制空制海權就意味著南下的道路沒有阻礙暢通，必需先摧毀珍珠港，于是日本籌謀了珍珠港奇襲。

日本政府決定占領東南亞的資源作為對禁運的回答。他們不克不及假定，假如他們起頭行動了，美國會在一旁袖手旁不雅?這是山本半百六思量事先覆滅美國在承平洋的力量的原因。日本聯合艦隊司令山本半百六襲擊珍珠港的海軍基地的計劃是實現這個戰略目的中的一個戰術步驟。日本資料顯示山本于1941年初起頭思量襲擊珍珠港。數月后，在做了一些預先考察后，他被批準起頭準備這個行動。日本海軍內部有強烈的阻擋這樣一個行動的力量。山本威脅，假如這個行動被中止的話，他將引退。1941年夏，在一次由日本天皇親自出席的御前會議上，這個行動正式被批準。11月，在另一次天皇親自出席的御前會議上，出兵承平洋的決定被批準。在11月的會議上還決定，只有在美國完全同意日本主要要求的的環境下才放棄此次行動。襲擊珍珠港的目的是為了(至少暫時)覆滅美國海軍在承平洋上的主力。襲擊珍珠港計劃的籌謀者山本半百六本人認為一次成功的襲擊只能帶來一年左右的戰略上風。從1931年起頭日本與中邦交戰，此前天本占領了滿洲。從1941年1月日本起頭計劃襲擊珍珠港以取患上戰略上風，顛末一些海軍內部的討論和爭執后從年中起頭日本海軍起頭為此次行動舉行嚴格的訓練。日本計劃的一部分是在襲擊前(并且必需在襲擊前)中止與美國的協商。到12月7日截止，日本駐華盛頓大使中的交際官一直在與美外洋交部舉行很廣泛的討論，包括美國對日本在1941年夏入侵東南亞的反應。襲擊前天本大使從日本交際部獲患上了一封很長的電報，并受令在襲擊前(華盛頓時間下午一時)將它遞交國務卿科德爾·赫爾。但大使人員未能實時解碼和打印這篇很長的國書。最后這篇宣戰書在襲擊后才遞交給美國。這個延遲增長了美國對此次襲擊的憤怒，它是羅斯福總統將這天稱為一個無恥的日期的主要原因。山本上將似乎同意這個不雅點。在日美合拍的影戲《虎！虎！虎！》中他被援用說：我恐怕我們將一個甜睡的偉人叫醒了，現在他充滿了憤怒。(這句話山本本人可能從未說過，即使如此他似乎的確如此覺患上)。實際上這篇國書在日本遞交美國前就已經被美國解碼了。喬治·卡特利特·馬歇爾在讀過這篇國著作后面立刻向夏威夷送出了一張緊急警告，但由于美軍內部傳送系統的混亂這篇電報不患上不通過民用電信局來傳達。在路上它落空了它的緊急標志。襲擊數鐘頭后一個年輕的日裔美國郵遞員將這張電保送到美軍司令部。林肯(1809~1865)lincoln，abraham 美國總統(1861~1865)。1809年2月12日生于肯塔基州。自幼從事體力勞動，成年后當過雇農、船夫、小市肆伴計，也做過村落郵務員和土地測量員。

林肯沒有受過系統的教誨，可是通過自學，涉獵了關于法律、文學、修辭學及歷史等方面的書籍，尤其是專攻法律。1834~1840年4次被選入伊利諾伊州議會。1836年通過律師資格考試，開業當律師。1838年公開阻擋奴隸制，成為州議會輝格黨的領袖。1847年，當選為美國國會眾議員。他的主張和活動代表北方資產階層的利益。阻擋奴隸制度，但不是廢奴主義者，阻擋立刻解放奴隸，更阻擋解放奴隸而不給奴隸主以賠償。因此，在阻擋奴隸制問題上他歸屬溫和派。1856年加入共和黨。在1860年的總統選舉中，共和黨獲勝，林肯當選為總統。不久，南方奴隸主策動叛亂，挑起南北戰爭。1862年五月林肯頒布《宅地法》，劃定公民繳付10美元登記費，可在西部領取64.74公頃土地，耕種5年后歸其所有。林肯為了早日恢復聯邦的統一而積極籌謀和帶領戰爭，但他最初不敢觸動南方奴隸制度。1862年9月22日，由于戰況不利和人--動的壓力，揭曉預報性的《解放宣言》草案。這個宣言標志著林肯從阻擋奴隸制度改變為廢奴主義者。1862年末，他不顧保守分子一再施加的壓力，拒不收回關于解放奴隸的決定，并在1863年1月1日揭曉正式的《解放宣言》。厥后又竭盡全盡力促使使國會兩院通過憲法第13條修正案。該修正案劃定在合眾國國土上永遠禁絕奴隸制。為了把阻擋奴隸制的戰爭舉行到底，1863年，他堅決征召黑人參加部隊，使成千累萬的黑人走上戰場，為戰爭的勝利作出了偉大的貢獻。1864年3月，他升引u.s.格蘭特為聯邦軍總司令，這對于內戰的最后勝利起了相當重要的作用。1864年11月林肯再次當選為總統。1865年4月14日晚，林肯在華盛頓的福特劇院里被維護奴隸制的狂熱分子j.w.布思開槍打傷，翌晨逝世。林肯：葛底斯堡演講(中英文)the gettysburg address gettysburg,pennsylvania november 19,1863 four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent,a new nation,conceived in liberty,and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.now we are engaged in agreat civil war,testing whether that nation,or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,can long endure.we are met on agreat field,as afinal resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.but,in alarger sense,we can not dedicate--we can not consecrate--we can not hallow--this ground.the brave men,living and dead,who struggled here,have consecrated it,far above our poor power to add or detract.the world will little note,nor long remember what we say here,but it can never forget what they did here.it is for us the living,rather,to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation,under god,shall have anew birth of freedom--and that government of the people,by the people,for the people,shall not perish from the earth.主講：亞伯拉罕林肯 時間：1863年11月19日 地點：美國，賓夕法尼亞，葛底斯堡

八十七年之前，我們的祖先在這大陸上建立了一個國家，它孕育于自由，并且投身給一種理念，即所有人都是小時候起平等的。

時下，我們正在從事一次偉大的內戰，我們在磨練，究竟這個國家，或任何一個有這種主張和這種信仰的國家，是否能長久存在。我們在那次戰爭的一個偉大的戰場上集會。我們來到這里，奉獻阿誰戰場上的一部分土地，作為在此地為阿誰國家的保存而犧牲了自己生命的人的永世眠息之所。我們這樣做，是十分合情合理的。

可是，就更深一層意義而言，我們是無從奉獻這片土地的--無從使它成為圣地--也不克不及把它變為許多人景仰之所。那些在這里戰斗的猛士，活著的和死去的，已使這塊土地神圣化了，遠非我們的菲薄能力所能左右。世人會半大注意，更不會長久想的起來我們在此地所說的話，然而他們將永遠忘不了這些人在這里所做的事。相反，我們活著的人應該投身于那些曾在此作戰的許多人所英勇推動而尚未完成的事情。我們應該在此投身于我們面前所篇二：69篇世界名人英語演講詞 目錄

一、martin luther king, jr.i have a dream i am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, 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 their captivity.名人英語演講稿 tribute to diana 致戴安娜——查爾斯·斯賓塞

在全世界，戴安娜是同情心、責任心、風度和美麗的化身，是無私和人道的象征，是維護真正被踐踏的權益的旗手，是一個超越國界的英國女孩，是一個帶有自然的高貴氣質的人，是一個不分階層的人。

this is the text of earl spencers tribute to his sister at her funeral.there is some very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment.would that those at whom it is aimed would take heed.the versions posted on several news services had minor errors.this is precisely as it was deliverd.i stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country in mourning before a world in shock.we are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to diana but rather in our need to do so.for such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of sunday morning.it is a more remarkable tribute to diana than i can ever hope to offer her today.today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even though god granted you but half a life.we will all feel cheated, always, that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all.only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult.we have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.there is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory.there is no need to do so.you stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint.indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely contain.but your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely.this is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes.and if we look to analyze what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for what was really important in all our lives.without your god-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance at the anguish of aids and hiv sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, the random destruction of land mines.diana explained to me once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with her constituency of the rejected.the world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty.the last time i saw diana was on july the first, her birthday, in london, when typically she was not taking time to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fund-raising charity evening.she sparkled of course, but i would rather cherish the days i spent with her in march when she came to visit me and my children in our home in south africa.i am proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting president mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a single picture of her.that meant a lot to her.these were days i will always treasure.it was as if wed been transported back to our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two youngest in the family.fundamentally she hadnt changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our parents homes with me at weekends.it is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself.there is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time.she talkedendlessly of getting away from england, mainly because of the treatment she received at the hands of the newspapers.i dont think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down.it is baffling.my own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.it is a point to remember that of all the ironies about diana, perhaps the greatest was this;that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.she would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys william and harry from a similar fate.and i do this here, diana, on your behalf.we will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, i pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.we fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born, and will always respect and encourage them in their royal role.but we, like you, recognize the need for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead.i know you would have expected nothing less from us.william and harry, we all care desperately for you today.we are all chewed up with sadness at the loss of a woman who wasnt even our mother.how great your suffering is we cannot even imagine.i would like to end by thanking god for the small mercies he has shown us at this dreadful time;for taking diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had joy in her private life.

第四篇：世界地球日英文演講

Protection environment Ladies and gentlemen,good afternoon!I feel really honored to stand here and make a speech.Today I'm going to look together with you into this question, protection environment.Maybe you have heard from many of the earth is polluted,but I think it is necessary to put emphasis on this.Because we have only one earth, If the earth is polluted, where we will go?

Once upon a time,there were few man on the earth.They do not think about protection of his environment.And natural resources seemed to be unlimited.But Today things are different.We know we if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear ,but we still cut a lot of trees ,we know we can’t drop the robbish,but we still drop them into the river.If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.So what can we do for our earth?Don’t say that, None of my business to protect our environment.You are wrong.We have only one earth,if you do not protect it ,you will do not have any where to live.We have to starts from the minor matter.For example, stop using plastic bags, boxes and bottles,plant a lot of flowers and trees in your city and so on.Let's join to protect the environment

Thank you for your listening.

第五篇：世界著名英文演講集錦

八段經典英語演講節選

一．

Man’s dearest possession is life.It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past;so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.人生最寶貴的是生命。生命對于人來說只有一次。一個人的生命應該這樣度過：當他回首往事時，不因虛度年華而悔恨；也不會因為碌碌無為而羞恥。在臨死的時候他能夠說：我的整個生命和全部精力都已經獻給了世界上最壯麗的事業――為人類的解放事業而斗爭！

二．

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.幸福并不在于單純的占有金錢，幸福還在于取得成功后的喜悅，在于創造努力時的激情。務必不能再忘記勞動帶來的喜悅和激勵，而去瘋狂追逐那轉瞬即逝的利潤。如果這些黯淡的日子能使我們認識到，我們真正的使命不是要別人侍奉，而是要為自己和同胞們服務的話，那么，我們付出的代價是完全值得的。

三．

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-Oevident, that all men are created equal.I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream my four little 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.i have a dream today!When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children-black men and white men , jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “free at least ,free at last.Thank God Almighty，we are free at last.我有一個夢：有一天，這個國家將站起來，并實現他的信條的真正含義：我們將捍衛這些不言而喻的真理，即所有人生來平等。我有一個夢：有一天在喬治亞洲紅色的山丘上，從前的奴隸的子孫們能和奴隸主的子孫們像兄弟一樣坐在同一張桌旁；我有一個夢我的四個孩子有一天將生活在這樣一個國度，在那里，人們不以膚色，而是以品格來評價他們。當自由的鐘聲響起的時候，當我們讓它從每一個村莊，每一個州，每一個城市響起的時候，我們將能夠加速這一天的到來。那是，上帝所有的孩子，無論黑人白人還是猶太人，異教徒。天主教徒，還是新教徒，他們都能夠手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌：“終于自由了，終于自由了，感謝上帝，我們終于自由了！”

四．

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory.Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go

forward together with our united strength.”

譯文

我能奉獻的唯有熱血、辛勞、淚水和汗水。我們所面臨的將是一場極為殘酷的考驗，我們面臨的將是曠日持久的斗爭和苦難。你若問我們的目標是什么？我可以用一個詞來概括，那就是勝利。不惜一切代價去奪取勝利，不畏懼一切恐怖去奪取勝利，不論前路再長再苦也要多去勝利，因為沒有勝利糾無法生存！我們必須意識到，沒有勝利就沒有大英帝國，沒有勝利就沒有大英帝國所象征的一切，沒有勝利就沒有多少世紀以來強烈的要求和沖動：人類應當向自己的目標邁進。此刻，我的精神振奮，滿懷信心地承當起自己的人物。我確信，只要我們大家聯合，我們的事業就不會挫敗。此時此刻千鈞一發之際，我覺得我有權要求各方面的支持。我要呼吁：“來吧，讓我們群策努力，并肩邁進！

五.My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men.Finally whether you are citizens of America, or citizens of the world, ask of us here, the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.With a good conscience of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own.--By John F.Kennedy

譯文：

美國同胞們，不要問美國能為你們做些什么，應該問你們能為美國貢獻些什么。全世界的同胞們，不要問美國將為你做些什么，應該問我們一同能為人類的自由做些什么。最后，無論你是美國公民還是其他國家的同胞，你們應該要求我們獻出我們同樣要求于你們的高度的力量和犧牲。無愧于心是我們惟一可靠的獎賞，歷史是我們行動最終的裁判。這一切讓我們大步向前，去引領我們所熱愛的這片土地。我們祈求上帝的保佑和幫助，但我們很清楚，上帝在塵世的工作必定是我們自己的工作。

--[美]約翰〃肯尼迪

六、Let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory and I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.In such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties.They concern, thank God, only material things.--By Franklin D.Roosevelt

譯文：

讓我來表明我堅定的信念：我們不得不害怕的其實就是害怕本身--一種莫名奇妙的、喪失理智的、毫無根據的恐懼。它把人們轉退為進所需要的種種努力化為泡影。但凡在我國生活陰云密布的時刻，坦率而有活力的領導都得到過人民的理解和支持，從而為勝利準備了不可缺少的必要條件。我相信，在目前危機的時刻，大家會再次給與同樣的支持。我和你們都要以這種精神來共同面對困難。感謝上帝，這些困難只是物質方面的。

--[美]弗蘭克林〃羅斯福

七、In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence.To express one's feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task.That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done.But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest;it cannot be while you still live.But to live is to function, that is all there is in living.So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver

Wendell Holmes

譯文：

此刻，沉默是金。要在生命即將完結之時表達個人感受并非易事。但我只是想談談作為一名傾聽者的看法。騎士們并非一到終點就立刻止步。他們繼續緩步向前，傾聽朋友們的歡呼。他們雖然告訴自己行程已經結束了。正如人們所說結果出來了,比賽結束了。但只要動力仍在，人生之旅就尚未結束。終點之后的慢跑并非停止不前，因為活著便不能如此。活著就要有所作為，這才是生命的真諦。最后謹以一句古拉丁格言與各位共勉：死神不止，奮斗不止。

--[美]奧利佛〃文德爾〃荷默斯

八、The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.--By George W.Bush

譯文：

這些理想中最偉大的是正在慢慢實現的美國的承諾，這就是：每個人都有自身的價值，每個人都有成功的機會，每個人天生都會有所作為的。美國人民肩負著一種使命，那就是要竭力將這個諾言變成生活中和法律上的現實。雖然我們的國家過去在追求實現這個承諾的途中停滯不前甚至倒退，但我們仍將堅定不移地完成這一使命。在上個世紀的大部分時間里，美國自由民主的信念猶如洶涌大海中的巖石。現在它更像風中的種子，把自由帶給每個民族。在我們的國家，民主不僅僅是一種信念，而是全人類的希望；民主，我們不會獨占，而會竭力讓大家分享；民主，我們將銘記于心并且不斷傳播。225年過去了，我們

仍有很長的路要走。--[美]喬治〃布什

Dr.Martin Luther King,—— “I Have A Dream”

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, 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 their captivity.But one hundred years later, the Negro still is 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 languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.In a sense we've 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, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the “unalienable Rights” of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” 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, a 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.And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.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 make real the promises of democracy.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 lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.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.And 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.And 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.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.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.The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a 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 they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.We cannot walk alone.And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always 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 the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.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 our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: “For Whites Only.” We cannot 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.” 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 jail cells.And 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.Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, 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, I say to you today, my friends.And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.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.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.I have a dream that my four little 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.I have a dream today!I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification” one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today!I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and 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.” This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.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.And this will be the day this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with 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!And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.And 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 slopes 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 molehill of Mississippi.From every mountainside, let freedom ring.And when this happens, when we allow 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!

聯合國秘書長安南在清華的演講

Ladies and Gentlemen,It is a great honour for me to speak at one of China’s great academic institutions one that is helping to revive and maintain your country’s historic tradition of leading the world in science and technology, and one whose alumni are to be found in positions of leadership throughout the country.Here, as in so many other places in China, no visitor can help feeling the excitement of a great country developing at breakneck speed, and every day opening up new vistas of knowledge and opportunity to its citizens.You can be really proud of your country and what it has achieved in the last 25 years.As I look out over the young faces in this audience I cannot help envying the international students more than a thousand, I am told, from over 50 countries who have the privilege of sharing your learning experience here.It reminds me for a moment of my own student days, when my country, Ghana, was newly independent.We felt we were suddenly reaching out to the world, and making new discoveries every day.But then I also remember that times of rapid change can bring pain and confusion, even destruction, as well as progress and excitement.The more rapid and exciting it is, the more change calls for careful management, and wise, humane leadership.Order and stability have to be preserved, but without choking off the freedom to enquire, and experiment, and express oneself, since as you young researchers know better than anyone knowledge and science have a vital role in national development.And technical expertise needs to be harnessed to the development and security of society as a whole, so that it not only creates greater wealth for the few, but enables all citizens to feel safer and more prosperous.The development of such a great country as China cannot happen in isolation.It affects the whole world, and it draws you into new relationships with other parts of the world.Increasingly, your economy depends on exchanges with other countries both imports and exports, of both goods and capital.Foreign investment plays an essential role in your growth, while your holdings of foreign currencies and your management of your own currency are coming to play a vital part in the international monetary system.This means that you have a stake in the development and prosperity of the wider world.And your security, too, depends on international peace and stability.喬丹的退役演說

I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball.It won't be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.Mentally, I'm exhausted, I don't feel I have a challenge.Physically, I feel great.The last time in 1993 I had other agendas.I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it.And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.Actually I talked to Jerry last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted.I didn't know if I would play next year.I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season.And Jerry, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach.And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time, mentally finding the challenge for myself.Although he can somehow present challenges for me.I don't know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season.“ Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired.So I can't say that he would have restored that.I will support the Chicago Bulls.I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan.I've been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor, Jerry West.These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity.Mr Stern and what he's done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball.I played it to the best I could play it, I tried to enhance the game itself.I've tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.肯尼迪總統就職演說

Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need-not as a call to battle, though embattled 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.Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger.I do not shrink from this responsibility-I welcome it.I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation.The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it-and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world , ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.現在，號角已再次吹響——不是召喚我們拿起武器，雖然我們需要武器；不是召喚我們去作戰，雖然我們嚴陣以待。它召喚我們為迎接黎明而肩負起漫長斗爭的重任，年復一年，從希望中得到歡樂，在磨難中保持耐性，對付人類共同的敵人——專制、貧窮、疾病和戰爭本身。

為反對這些敵人，確保人類更為豐裕的生活，我們能夠組成一個包括東西南北各方的全球大聯盟嗎？你們愿意參加這一歷史性的努力嗎？

在漫長的世界歷史中，只有少數幾代人在自由處于最危急的時刻被賦予保衛自由的責任。我不會推卸這一責任，我歡迎這一責任。我不相信我們中間有人想同其他人或其他時代的人交換位置。我們為這一努力所奉獻的精力、信念和忠誠，將照亮我們的國家和所有為國效勞的人，而這火焰發出的光芒定能照亮全世界。因此，美國同胞們，不要問國家能為你們做些什么、而要問你們能為國家做些什么。

全世界的公民們，不要問美國將為你們做些什么，而要問我們共同能為人類的自由做些什么。最后，不論你們是美國公民還是其他國家的公民，你們應要求我們獻出我們同樣要求于你們的高度的力量和犧牲。問心無愧是我們唯一可靠的獎賞，歷史是我們行動的最終裁判，讓我們走向前去，引導我們所熱愛的國家。我們祈求上帝的福佑和幫助，但我們知道，確切地說，上帝在塵世的工作必定是我們自己的工作。

比爾?蓋茨在北京微軟專業開發人員大會上的演講 December 1997 Beijing,China Good morning.It's a great pleasure to be here.Today is a major milestone [1] for Microsoft as our first Professional Developers Conference here in China.The key partnerships we build with software developers around the world are central not only to the success of Windows but also to realize the possibility that PC technology provides.It's through applications of every variety that businesses will be using the personal computer as the tool of the Information Age.It's rather amazing how fast this innovation [2] is moving.Even to keep the like of myself who are deeply involved in the industry to go and see the improvement and every element that are taking place on a yearly basis is quite fantastic.Of course one of the driving factors of this business is the exponential increase in processor performance.There is no doubt that the magic of chip capability has delivered through the advance in microprocessor allows us to think of application which never would have been possible before.The PC industry is one of the few industries that can deliver lower price equipment at the same time as improving the capabilities.The storage systems are now delivering Gigabyte of storage as the standard capability.Over 80 million of PCs are being sold a year.And the server market, the higher performance machines that these PCs networked with, are the fastest growing part of this business.The performance of those servers is increasing not only because the individual processors are faster, but also because we are using multiple-processor machines, so called SMP designs and clustering nodes together.Great chips, systems developers, partners who are sponsoring [3] this event, making this all possible.There is an incredible opportunity for developers.The applications that are written today will sell to an even larger base of machines out in the market.There is a lot that we're doing to increase the work of good developers-make sure they understand where the PC is going and how tools can help them now, more and more marketing type of activities making sure they got in with the customers.This is something that we are going to increase year after year.The overall [4] DNS message is one about helping developers seize that opportunity by bringing together the different architectures, making things automatic and allowing this to be done in an evolutionary fashion.I think it's a fantastic time to be developer and we appreciate being here and look forward to the opportunity to work with you more.Thank you.1997年12月11日，中國北京

早晨好。非常高興與大家共聚一堂。在這里舉行的微軟中國第一屆專業開發人員大會，是微軟公司的一個重要里程碑。我們與全球軟件開發人員建立的伙伴關系不僅是促成了Windows成功的關鍵，而且使PC技術提供的可能性成為現實。應用程序貫穿各個領域，公司將使用個人計算機作為信息時代的工具。

這一變革的速度之快，令人眼花繚亂。即使象我這樣深入參與其中的人員，看到在一年基礎上發生的如此巨大的進步預測一年后所發生的變化也是異想天開。當然，處理器性能的巨大提高是這一商務領域的一個推動因素。毫無疑問，芯片通過微處理器的進步所提供的強大功能允許我們考慮過去根本沒有可能的應用程序。

PC行業是能夠提供價格更低的設備并同時改進功能性的少數幾個行業之一。存儲系統提供lGB存儲的標準功能。全球每年售出8000多萬臺PC。在服務器市場中，令這些PC聯網的性能更高的機器是發展最快的部分。這些服務器的性能不斷提高，不僅是因為單一處理器速度更快，還因為我們使用多處理器機器，也就是被稱為SMP設計并實現節點的集群化。

優異的芯片、系統開發商以及資助這一活動的合作伙伴將使所有這些成為可能。這是開發人員的一次極好機會。今天編寫的應用程序將在市場上銷售更多數量的機器。我們正在做許多工作來增加好的開發人員的工作，確保他們理解PC的走向、目前工具如何為他們提供幫助以及可使他們贏得客戶的越來越多的促銷活動類型。這就是我們年復一年所增加的東西。
