第一篇：北京大學在百年講堂開幕演講稿

一生有愛，創業成功

有些青年朋友很坦白地承認自己對財富的追求，在合法的經營范圍內，“能否賺到錢”成為衡量創業者的普遍認定的標準。在現場嘉賓們的眼中，人們對財富的需求是光明正大的，但創業時不能夠財富當先、財富至上。黃總從自己的親身經歷出發，建議大學生創業一定要找一個自己熱愛的職業，學習、工作也是如此。“創業本身不是目的，為事業而創業才是根本的目的。如果沒有真正愛的對象，就去結婚，會成功嗎?用一生去追求事業，能不成功嗎?”張總說，身邊很多年輕人把創業理解為“很快地掙到很多的錢”，不同時代的人對創業有不同的理解，但真正的創業者目標不是很快地掙很多的錢，而是應該“想自己的價值，自己人生實現的方式。”

創業案例受質疑

小賀同學曾獲2007年度北京大學河合創業基金第一名，現在成立公司主營文化T恤服飾B2C在線直銷，通過對互聯網上流行熱點事件進行深入挖掘，開發面向中高檔市場的潮流T恤和帽衫等產品。小賀同學將獲獎項目帶到了論壇，作為案例請教現場嘉賓，沒想到卻遭到了嘉賓們的質疑：“缺少核心競爭力”、“誰都可以復制”、“以后你趕不上時髦怎么辦”、“被別人超越怎么辦”、“做品牌是爬山不是漫游”、“做好失敗的準備”、“對產品的定位不要過高”等等。盡管小賀同學對創業項目銷售模式、推廣模式作了解釋，仍擋不住嘉賓們不斷潑來的冷水。論壇結束后，小賀同學經過認真思考，覺得這些不同的看法言之有理，非常感謝嘉賓們提出了寶貴建議。

創業，忘記自己是北大學生

成功企業家對名校大學生有什么看法?周總說：“名校名號對大學生成功求職有一定的作用”。凌總說：“能上北大肯定不是一般的人，可塑性強。”黃總說：“有一段時間對名校的學生評價不高，認為他們眼高手低，心態不好。”名校大學生創業有沒有優勢?周總說，企業家和投資者是理性的，不會非常偏重學校的名號，更關注個人在工作中的表現。凌總說，不是頂著桂冠就可以一步成功的，最重要的還是要勤奮，踏實做人踏實做事，只要勤奮就一定能夠成功。黃總說，建議如果可能，可先隱瞞北大身份，如果老想自己是北大的、是名校畢業的，很多事不去干，別人對你的要求會更苛刻。身為北大畢業的創業者，張總更是一個鮮活的例子，“投資者不會因為你畢業于哪所學校而對你有更多的偏愛。請打消這個念頭，忘記自己是北大的學生。讓北大成為你唯一的驕傲么，那太糟糕了，那你是北大的恥辱。”

花絮：郭濤樂開了花

東南衛視歡樂校園行活動每到自由提問環節，總會出現同學們踴躍提問、一問難求的狀況，在北京大學創業論壇現場，更出現了大學生爭搶話筒的場面，前一個同學問題剛提出，嘉賓還沒來得及回答，就有另一位同學搶過話筒馬上提問。一位女生抓住好不容易獲得的提問機會，卻只說了一句震動全場的話：“主持人郭濤老師幽默、詼諧，我很喜歡您!”最佳提問獎揭曉，嘉賓張總以這位女生“勇敢的表白”為理由贈她最佳提問獎，可把郭濤樂壞了，盛贊北大女生：“北大的女生真有品味!”

第二篇：百年暨南素質教育文化講堂

“許霆案”的反思

4月17日晚七點半，北京大學法學院賀衛方教授做客百年暨南文化素質教育講堂，在國際會議廳為我們奉上一場題為“‘許霆案’審理的啟示”的精彩講座。講座上，賀教授分別從法律制度的確定性、司法與傳媒的關系、判例法體系建立的可能性三個方面闡述了他對此案件的見解，他深入淺出的分析、旁征博引的說理以及幽默風趣的語言引得在場觀眾熱烈的掌聲。

賀教授認為首要啟示是重視法律制度的確定性。他從語言構造開始說起，說“法律概念處于不清晰狀態，會導致人民處于不安定不可預知的狀態”。聯系案件來說，他認為司法者該深入解讀立法者的意圖，“法官對法律的解讀得使法律仍能有效調整已變化了的社會關系”。

而對于司法與傳媒的關系，賀教授用“唇齒相依、唇寒齒亡”八個字來形容。通過對眾多案例的分析，賀教授希望傳媒能夠“像一面鏡子，無所謂價值偏好地反應各方的聲音”，維護好司法的獨立性。

最后，賀教授表示，現在我們進入判例時代，法律不能因地域或時間的差異而不統一，人們的命運“不能取決于偶然的因素”。我們要從制度上去努力，要“駕馭自己的命運”。

讓我們來重溫一下事情的經過。

2006年4月21日晚10時，被告人許霆來到廣州天河區黃埔大道某銀行的ATM取款機取款。結果取出1000元后，銀行卡賬戶里只被扣1元，許霆先后取款171筆，合計17.5萬元。許霆潛逃一年后被抓獲，以盜竊罪被判無期徒刑。許父對一審判決不服，籌錢20萬準備繼續上訴。他認為，“這就像路邊撿了別人的錢一樣―――就算花了別人多給的錢，還了不就沒事了嘛，怎么是秘密竊取，又怎么非法占有了呢？”

一石激起千層浪，立刻有專家、網友組成兩派陣營——挺霆方與倒霆方進行激辯。倒霆方認為許霆惡意取款構成盜竊罪，判重刑無不妥！而挺霆方則認為許霆惡意取款不是盜竊，是不當得利，并且量型過重！雙方就問題的關鍵點:ATM機是否是金融機構？銀行是否有責任？許霆惡取款是否構成盜竊罪？許霆案是否量刑適當？是民事還是刑事責任進行了討論。最終，廣東省高級人民法院對此

1案采取了不公開審判的方式，由三名法官組成合議庭進行書面審理，并最終作出了“發回重審”的裁定。2008年3月31日，廣州中院以盜竊罪判處許霆有期徒刑五年，罰金兩萬，追討其取出的173826元。對于這樣的判決結果，許霆父親許彩亮表示十分不滿意，他認為許霆并沒有犯罪，只是存在過錯，所以不應該受到這么重的量刑，而是應該無罪釋放。

筆者認為，這個案件反映了我國現有的多種問題。

其一，法律不完善。對有爭議的幾個關鍵的支撐點不能給出明確的解釋，造成很難決定是依據民法還是依據刑法判決。從無期徒刑到5年有期徒刑，這個量的變化，就集中反映了這一點。

其二，辦案人員基于何種理由給予審判結果的不公開性。中院的判決書僅提出不接受辯護人的意見，這是一種相當粗暴、強權的判定。從公眾知情權和雙方平等的角度來說，連個理由都不給是不合適的。

案件適用民法還是刑法，涉及到幾個關鍵的支撐點，對這些支撐點進行判斷匯總，最終才能決定適用哪種法律最合適，不管是采用哪種法律，都應該給出一種合理、復雜的推論或解釋。但是這些，在現在的判決書上都看不到。

其三，銀行體制并不完善。銀行方三天后才發現是許霆取走的17.5萬元，說明銀行制度存在極大的漏洞。另外，銀行工作失誤中少給客戶錢時“錢幣當面點清，出門概不負責”的態度與多給客戶錢時的態度形成鮮明對比，絲毫體現不出平等。

筆者認為，應做好如下工作。

一、完善法律制度。目前適用的《刑法》與《關于審理盜竊案件具體應用法律若干問題的解釋》分別發布于1997年和1998年，以10年前的罪刑標尺來衡量今天的犯罪行為，實在不符合社會實際。盜竊金融機構只有無期徒刑或死刑兩檔刑罰，一條杠杠，上下就是天壤之別。這種嚴格的規范主義，顯然違背了罪刑相適應原則。

二、規范銀行系統。廣州商業銀行恒福路支行ATM機管理中心的一名工作人員表示，“ATM機系統的生產和維護一直都是由廣電運通公司負責的，我們只負責加鈔。”對于記者追問，為何三天后才發現是許霆取走的17.5萬元，該工作人員稱，“那是周末，大家都在休息。”這些都表明了銀行系統的不規范性。

三、加大法律宣傳力度。不少公民還是知法甚少的，相信不知法的公民對于這樣天上掉餡餅的事情還是不愿意錯過的。建議在類似自助行業中醒目的地方加設法律提示，以保證公民知法守法。

四、ATM機實行定時檢查。鑒于ATM機的特殊性，其生產單位應定期對ATM機進行檢查。并且減少周期。把好質量關。這樣才能盡量避免失誤，造成不必要的損失。

有論者認為，這是司法的勝利，一審并非不合法，但合法的判決未必是公正的判決，法律人是戴著鐐銬的舞者，需要在規則的約束下求得平衡之美；也有論者認為，這是媒體的勝利，窮追不舍的的媒體終于讓法院明白了輿論監督的力量，許霆的代理律師楊振平明白無誤地告訴記者：“從去年12月許霆因惡意取款被判處無期徒刑以來，國內媒體給予高度關注和廣泛討論，輿論監督起到很大作用，重審判決本身說明了問題，這個也是媒體的力量，輿論監督的力量。”

但讓人疑惑的是，面對許霆從無期改判五年的結果，法院的解釋更多是體現在“特案特判”上。因為如果根據本案具體的犯罪事實、犯罪情節和對于社會的危害程度，如果依據法定量刑幅度就低判處其無期徒刑，仍不符合罪責刑相適應原則。于是，以“逐級請示”方式經廣東省最高法院直至最高法院。如果聯系到被稱為“云南許霆”的青年何鵬之案，無法不讓人懷疑，司法在面對民意的時候就能是否真正做到了獨立？因為，何鵬案和許霆案性質類似，但正如在許霆案上旁聽的何鵬父母所言：“我兒子與許霆一樣，可許霆多么幸運，他不還錢只坐5年牢，而我的兒子還了錢了還要判無期徒刑”。為此，他們到處上訪，但至今無果。而在許霆案之前，因為缺少媒體的關照，幾乎無人知曉何鵬案。既然此前有過類似案例，為何此案特殊？

除此之外，從無期徒刑到五年有期徒刑，落差實在太大，令人有些兒戲之感：法律可以轉圜的空間實在是太大了。正因如此，許霆案的重審結果出來之后，此前幾乎和媒體意見一致的民意發生了些頗具反諷意味的轉向，在網絡意見的表達中，有很多人開始認為許霆被判得太輕。中國法學會刑法研究會會長、北京師范大學法學院院長趙秉志教授甚至直言：“5年的量刑似乎過輕，10年以上的尺度更為合適。”有些人開始探究媒體的責任，認為媒體過度干預了司法行為，影響案件判決的公正性與獨立性。

不管如何，毫無疑問的是，只要我們將“獨立”作為司法的高貴品質并孜孜

以求，法院的判決結果應該受到每個人的尊重，法官是法律世界的國王。但顯而易見的是，司法和媒體在許霆案中都需要進行反思。

在面對媒體狂轟亂炸的意見時，司法究竟該如何保持自身的獨立性？如何在以媒體為代表的民意中求得法律價值和社會輿論之間的平衡？更何況，在一個媒體聲音多元化的時代，也沒有完全一致的所謂“社會輿論”，即使善意回應民間聲音，也不應該只回應居于主導地位的強勢聲音。“特案特判”固然具有不可置疑的法律價值和邏輯正義，但媒體只要足夠關注，法院就“特案特判”，就無法逃脫司法屈于輿論壓力的嫌疑。在過去幾年中，亦不乏這樣的案例。

此外，以民意代表自居的媒體，也應該反思自己的行為是否妨礙了司法獨立？自己的做法是否違背了基本的法律準則？全國人大代表、廣州市律師協會秘書長陳舒女士的話令人深思，說起不久前在香港發生與許霆類似的案件。她表示：“與廣州這邊不同的是，香港的法院可以發出禁令不讓媒體對沒有判決的案件進行談論，更不用說媒體可以在法庭里面拍照，因為司法是獨立的，而我們卻不僅可以在法庭內對被告人進行拍照，還能肆意揣測法院結果”。雖然我們的法院不能發出禁令讓媒體閉嘴，但媒體是否也應該檢點自己的行為，其扮演拯救者的角色是否也應該退場？

時至今日，轉型之下的中國社會，面對的問題越來越復雜，處于特殊位置的社會主體，由于它們的邊界不清晰，而可以最大限度地調動資源，甚至不惜跨越灰色地帶，營造有利于自己的賣點，用以吸引公眾的眼球。但需要指出的是，這會使得事情更加復雜。司法與媒體，這兩個具有特殊性質的社會主體，都應該堅守自身的邊界，越界出擊的結果，會使社會主體的邊界劃分越發混沌。法律的歸法律，媒體的歸媒體，才會真正抵達司法獨立與輿論監督的終點。正是從這角度講，許霆案雖然告一段落，但此后的討論或許較此前的輿論一邊倒更有社會意義和長遠價值，應該從中探討的深度問題需要持續開掘。

許霆案所帶來的紛繁爭議從某個意義上說,爭論的意義甚至超過了案件本身。由個案啟示,我們應該盡可能地完善法律制度, 讓這樣的爭議少之又少, 唯此法律的嚴肅性、權威性才能得到保證。

第三篇：克林頓在北京大學的英文演講稿

pRESIDENT CLINTON:

Thank you Chairmen Ren, Vice president Chi, Vice Minister Wei.We are delighted to be here today with a very large American delegation, including the First Lady and our daughter, who is a student at Stanford, one of the schools with which Beijing University has a relationship.We have six members of the United States Congress;the Secretary of State;Secretary of Commerce;the Secretary of Agriculture;the Chairman of our Council of Economic Advisors;Senator Sasser, our Ambassador;the National Security Advisor and my Chief of Staff, among others.I say that to illustrate the importance that the United States places on our relationship with China.I would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university.Gongxi, Beida.As I'm sure all of you know, this campus was once home to Yenching University which was founded by American missionaries.Many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an American architect.Thousands of Americans students and professors have come here to study and teach.We feel a special kinship with you.I am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago.In June of 1919, the first president of Yenching University, John Leighton Stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds.At the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared.They were all out leading the May 4th Movement for China's political and cultural renewal.When I read this, I hoped that when I walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here.And I thank you for being here, very much.Over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students.Your graduates are spread throughout China and around the world.You have built the largest university library in all of Asia.Last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors.And in this anniversary year, more than a million people in China, Asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site.At the dawn of a new century, this university is leading China into the future.I come here today to talk to you, the next generation of China's leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between China and the United States.The American people deeply admire China for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology.We remember well our strong partnership in World War II.Now we see China at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.Just three decades ago, China was virtually shut off from the world.Now, China is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations--enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development.You have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale.Today, 40,000 young Chinese study in the United States, with hundreds of thousands more learning in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.Your social and economic transformation has been even more remarkable, moving from a closed command economic system to a driving, increasingly market-based and driven economy, generating two decades of unprecedented growth, giving people greater freedom to travel within and outside China, to vote in village elections, to own a home, choose a job, attend a better school.As a result you have lifted literally hundreds of millions of people from poverty.per capita income has more than doubled in the last decade.Most Chinese people are leading lives they could not have imagined just 20 years ago.Of course, these changes have also brought disruptions in settled patterns of life and work, and have imposed enormous strains on your environment.Once every urban Chinese was guaranteed employment in a state enterprise.Now you must compete in a job market.Once a Chinese worker had only to meet the demands of a central planner in Beijing.Now the global economy means all must match the quality and creativity of the rest of the world.For those who lack the right training and skills and support, this new world can be daunting.In the short-term, good, hardworking people--some, at least will find themselves unemployed.And, as all of you can see, there have been enormous environmental and economic and health care costs to the development pattern and the energy use pattern of the last 20 years--from air pollution to deforestation to acid rain and water shortage.In the face of these challenges new systems of training and social security will have to be devised, and new environmental policies and technologies will have to be introduced with the goal of growing your economy while improving the environment.Everything I know about the intelligence, the ingenuity, the enterprise of the Chinese people and everything I have heard these last few days in my discussions with president Jiang, prime Minister Zhu and others give me confidence that you will succeed.As you build a new China, America wants to build a new relationship with you.We want China to be successful, secure and open, working with us for a more peaceful and prosperous world.I know there are those in China and the United States who question whether closer relations between our countries is a good thing.But everything all of us know about the way the world is changing and the challenges your generation will face tell us that our two nations will be far better off working together than apart.The late Deng Xiaoping counseled us to seek truth from facts.At the dawn of the new century, the facts are clear.The distance between our two nations, indeed, between any nations, is shrinking.Where once an American clipper ship took months to cross from China to the United States.Today, technology has made us all virtual neighbors.From laptops to lasers, from microchips to megabytes, an information revolution is lighting the landscape of human knowledge, bringing us all closer together.Ideas, information, and money cross the planet at the stroke of a computer key, bringing with them extraordinary opportunities to create wealth, to prevent and conquer disease, to foster greater understanding among peoples of different histories and different cultures.But we also know that this greater openness and faster change mean that problems which start beyond one nations borders can quickly move inside them--the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the threats of organized crime and drug trafficking, of environmental degradation, and severe economic dislocation.No nation can isolate itself from these problems, and no nation can solve them alone.We, especially the younger generations of China and the United States, must make common cause of our common challenges, so that we can, together, shape a new century of brilliant possibilities.In the 21st century--your century--China and the United States will face the challenge of security in Asia.On the Korean peninsula, where once we were adversaries, today we are working together for a permanent peace and a future freer of nuclear weapons.On the Indian subcontinent, just as most of the rest of the world is moving away from nuclear danger, India and pakistan risk sparking a new arms race.We are now pursuing a common strategy to move India and pakistan away from further testing and toward a dialogue to resolve their differences.In the 21st century, your generation must face the challenge of stopping the spread of deadlier nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.In the wrong hands or the wrong places, these weapons can threaten the peace of nations large and small.Increasingly, China and the United States agree on the importance of stopping proliferation.That is why we are beginning to act in concert to control the worlds most dangerous weapons.In the 21st century, your generation will have to reverse the international tide of crime and drugs.Around the world, organized crime robs people of billions of dollars every year and undermines trust in government.America knows all about the devastation and despair that drugs can bring to schools and neighborhoods.With borders on more than a dozen countries, China has become a crossroad for smugglers of all kinds.Last year, president Jiang and I asked senior Chinese and American law enforcement officials to step up our cooperation against these predators, to stop money from being laundered, to stop aliens from being cruelly smuggled, to stop currencies from being undermined by counterfeiting.Just this month, our drug enforcement agency opened an office in Beijing, and soon Chinese counternarcotics experts will be working out of Washington.In the 21st century, your generation must make it your mission to ensure that today's progress does not come at tomorrow's expense.China's remarkable growth in the last two decades has come with a toxic cost, pollutants that foul the water you drink and the air you breathe--the cost is not only environmental, it is also serious in terms of the health consequences of your people and in terms of the drag on economic growth.Environmental problems are also increasingly global as well as national.For example, in the near future, if present energy use patterns persist, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the gases which are the principal cause of global warming.If the nations of the world do not reduce the gases which are causing global warming, sometime in the next century there is a serious risk of dramatic changes in climate which will change the way we live and the way we work, which could literally bury some island nations under mountains of water and undermine the economic and social fabric of nations.We must work together.We Americans know from our own experience that it is possible to grow an economy while improving the environment.We must do that together for ourselves and for the world.Building on the work that our Vice president, Al Gore, has done previously with the Chinese government, president Jiang and I are working together on ways to bring American clean energy technology to help improve air quality and grow the Chinese economy at the same time.Today we do not seek to impose our vision on others, but we are convinced that certain rights are universal--not American rights or European rights or rights for developed nations, but the birthrights of people everywhere, now enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights--the right to be treated with dignity;the right to express one's opinions, to choose one's own leaders, to associate freely with others, and to worship, or not, freely, however one chooses.In the last letter of his life, the author of our Declaration of Independence and our third president, Thomas Jefferson, said then that “all eyes are opening to the rights of man.” I believe that in this time, at long last, 172 years after Jefferson wrote those words, all eyes are opening to the rights of men and women everywhere.Over the past two decades, a rising tide of freedom has lifted the lives of millions around the world, sweeping away failed dictatorial systems in the Former Soviet Union, throughout Central Europe;ending a vicious cycle of military coups and civil wars in Latin America;giving more people in Africa the chance to make the most of their hard-won independence.And from the philippines to South Korea, from Thailand to Mongolia, freedom has reached Asia's shores, powering a surge of growth and productivity.Economic security also can be an essential element of freedom.It is recognized in the United Nations Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.In China, you have made extraordinary strides in nurturing that liberty, and spreading freedom from want, to be a source of strength to your people.Incomes are up, poverty is down;people do have more choices of jobs, and the ability to travel--the ability to make a better life.But true freedom includes more than economic freedom.In America, we believe it is a concept which is indivisible.Over the past four days, I have seen freedom in many manifestations in China.I have seen the fresh shoots of democracy growing in the villages of your heartland.I have visited a village that chose its own leaders in free elections.I have also seen the cell phones, the video players, the fax machines carrying ideas, information and images from all over the world.I've heard people speak their minds and I have joined people in prayer in the faith of my own choosing.In all these ways I felt a steady breeze of freedom.The question is, where do we go from here? How do we work together to be on the right side of history together? More than 50 years ago, Hu Shi, one of your great political thinkers and a teacher at this university, said these words: “Now some people say to me you must sacrifice your individual freedom so that the nation may be free.But I reply, the struggle for individual freedom is the struggle for the nation's freedom.The struggle for your own character is the struggle for the nation's character.”

We Americans believe Hu Shi was right.We believe and our experience demonstrates that freedom strengthens stability and helps nations to change.One of our founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, once said, “Our critics are our friends, for they show us our faults.” Now, if that is true, there are many days in the United States when the president has more friends than anyone else in America.（Laughter.）But it is so.In the world we live in, this global information age, constant improvement and change is necessary to economic opportunity and to national strength.Therefore, the freest possible flow of information, ideas, and opinions, and a greater respect for divergent political and religious convictions will actually breed strength and stability going forward.It is, therefore, profoundly in your interest, and the world's, that young Chinese minds be free to reach the fullness of their potential.That is the message of our time and the mandate of the new century and the new millennium.I hope China will more fully embrace this mandate.For all the grandeur of your history, I believe your greatest days are still ahead.Against great odds in the 20th century China has not only survived, it is moving forward dramatically.Other ancient cultures failed because they failed to change.China has constantly proven the capacity to change and grow.Now, you must re-imagine China again for a new century, and your generation must be at the heart of China's regeneration.The new century is upon us.All our sights are turned toward the future.Now your country has known more millennia than the United States has known centuries.Today, however, China is as young as any nation on Earth.This new century can be the dawn of a new China, proud of your ancient greatness, proud of what you are doing, prouder still of the tomorrows to come.It can be a time when the world again looks to China for the vigor of its culture, the freshness of its thinking, the elevation of human dignity that is apparent in its works.It can be a time when the oldest of nations helps to make a new world.The United States wants to work with you to make that time a reality.Thank you very much.（Applause.）

第四篇：周杰倫在北京大學的演講演講稿

周杰倫在北京大學百年講堂的演講--《你可以不平凡》

各位北大的同學們，你們好嗎！好！（觀眾歡呼）

站在這個舞臺開講，真的是不簡單，算是成功了哦。（掌聲）

人都要有夢想，其實我跟大家一樣啊，我覺得自己就是非常平凡，只是學了點音樂而已。學了這些音樂呢，最后能夠站在這個舞臺演講，也不容易啊。因為我沒有考上大學，但是我卻跟你們演講（周杰倫笑），你們會不會覺得有點奇怪？

不會！（觀眾歡呼）

方文山也才讀過小學而已。不過他寫的東西卻能夠到教材里面。這時候是不是該來點掌聲啊？（掌聲，歡呼）

所以我覺得厲害的人，我覺得不平凡的人，并不是書要念的多好，我覺得他要有一技之長。本身呢，也要聽媽媽的話，尊師重道。那時候她（周杰倫媽媽）也很希望我可以考上音樂系，然后讀大學。我大概考了兩次吧。可能我不是讀書的料，而且我又很愛打球，所以也不知道自己心里是怎么搞得，可能就是有一種運動細胞吧（周杰倫笑）。

那其實我現在講的這些，都是我未來成功的一些關鍵，你想一想年輕時候，如果我被好好的關在那邊，我沒有去打球，我現在怎么拍《大灌籃》是吧？（掌聲）

如果那時候沒有學琴，我現在怎么拍《不能說的秘密》對吧？（掌聲）那個時候如果不喜歡看這些武術的電影，我怎么拍《青蜂俠》對吧？（掌聲）這些呢，都不是父母讓你去學的，你是有自發性的，你喜歡這樣的東西。所以，我覺得人要有一技之長呢，比學歷更重要。這個是我一直在跟這些小朋友講的。講到學生的階段，因為今天是在學校嘛。其實我是一個蠻愛面子的人，我覺得。相信大家都看得出來，一個很好勝的人。我講一個很簡單的例子：搭公車，大家有這樣的經驗吧，就是人很多的時候，被擠到最后，然后被公車們夾到，有沒有這種感覺？有吧。但是我卻是那種痛也不會說出來的。因為前面坐著好幾個學姐。我想說，等到下一站，反正公車們自動會打開吧。結果它下一站竟然沒有給我停下來。于是，我就只好默默的跟學姐說，不好意思，你可不可以跟公車司機說一下，我的手被夾到了（觀眾笑）。后來想一想，我覺得公車司機一定很納悶，學姐她們也很納悶，為什么在第一站的時候不講，在第二站第三站的時候才說。這代表說我是一個很怎么樣的人？很愛面子。愛面子呢，又好勝，但是我覺得這卻幫助了我在現在的演藝圈在現在的生活環境。因為，我告訴自己，絕不能輸，永遠都要在第一。這時候應該要來點掌聲，是吧？（掌聲）

我剛剛在講這些我學生時代的生活，學生時代，其實那時候我沒有考上大學，后來我就去寫歌了，在我還沒有出道的時候呢，寫著《蝸牛》這首歌，相信大家都聽過吧？

那時候呢，也算是蟻居。不是蟻居在天臺，是蟻居在錄音室，后來被吳宗憲給發掘。那應該是三天他希望我要寫十幾首歌曲，這是他給我的一個功課，然后他從里面挑選歌曲去用。所以那時候都會很期待自己的歌曲被錄用，只有這樣你才有錢，你才可以拿回家給爸媽。所以那個時候，我自己也給自己一個期許，就是一定要賺到錢，然后好好的讓家人過好生活，所以這是我寫歌的一個重點，其中之一個原因；另外一個原因是因為，我覺得父母在我小的時候，他們花費太多的金錢，學費，讓我學鋼琴，所以我要彌補回去。那時候就是有一個信念就是，不能讓自己的父母失望，在你這個生活當中，你一個人，其實老實講，有時候我是走不下去的，因為我并沒有兄弟姐妹。那在寫歌的時候認識到劉畊宏，他在那個時候呢，已經是歌手了，而我還蟻居在他的錄音室，給我衣服穿，給我吃的，并沒有給我車子，但是他卻載我到處游玩，享受他的人生。然后帶他朋友給我認識有。

一天，吳宗憲說：“你這些歌好像都不錯，但是沒有人可以唱耶！”公司簽來另外一位音樂總監楊峻榮，后來他聽到我的歌，他說：“你這些歌曲別人不用干脆你自己唱唱看好了。”然后那時候我有個念頭想說：“嗯，是當歌手么？不可能吧？”所以我沒想那么多，我就把自己的歌唱一唱。然后有一天，有個唱片公司的表演，有很多藝人，有很多大老板要來看，那時候我就很緊張，這時候我不知道該唱什么歌曲。那唱《黑色幽默》好了（音樂。。）

當時真的是唱的黑色幽默，因為劉畊宏說，他就推薦我說：“你唱這個歌，這個歌很有你的味道，你可以像以前的情歌都是非常嚴肅的，哪有這么奇怪的歌詞。”我說：“但是來的唱片公司是老外，他聽得懂么？”然后畊宏說：”反正你唱的也不清楚，反正他也不知道你唱什么（觀眾笑）。這個旋律好就好了。“我想說也對，所以我第一遍這樣唱完之后，臺下完全沒什么反應。我想說，這怎么回事？畊宏說，你唱的太小聲了。然后畊宏默默地，我后來才知道，他們讓我唱第二次的原因是因為畊宏默默的去告訴工作人員說，再給我一次機會。（掌聲）第二次呢，我就好好的唱。于是有機會發片了，那時候第一首主打歌《可愛女人》。《可愛女人》就這樣出來了，當時的同公司的師姐徐若瑄來拍的這個第一支MV，那時候呢，覺得蠻特別就是：“哎喲，這個師姐當時是女神呢，來拍MV，這真的假的？”，當時會有這樣的感覺。那后來呢，她竟然說：“可以教我彈鋼琴嗎？”我才發現，學鋼琴是對的。（掌聲）

當時寫的歌曲是給其他歌手唱，后來我的第一張專輯的歌曲，幾乎都是寫給別人唱別人不要的，我重新拿來唱，所以有了《雙節棍》這些歌曲（掌聲）

所以我也很感謝當時沒有用我歌曲的那些歌手，現在不知道到哪里去了，沒有，開玩笑（觀眾笑）。所以呢，我也不能停下來，我繼續在往前走，為的是什么？為的是我的歌迷朋友們。你們沒有看錯人，對！（掌聲）

然后那時候出了幾張唱片，然后去了幾個頒獎典禮，慢慢的，對于這個獎項，其實一開始就非常的看重。誰不想得獎，對不對？有一次帶了外婆去參加頒獎典禮，我覺得至少一項，上臺可以講話吧，對不對？可以感謝我的外婆，結果什么都沒有。那時候就非常的，老實講非常的不爽。但是我沒有表現在臉上，因為那個攝影機在拍你嘛，你還是要很開心的很大氣的為大家鼓掌嘛。那我就覺得，原來演藝圈是這么的虛假。（掌聲）

于是呢，我就把它寫了一首歌曲叫做《外婆》（音樂）。一方面我是在攻擊這個攻擊當天的不爽，為什么沒有讓我得獎，讓外婆難過；另外是覺得自己很不孝，所以也寫了像打狗仔罵狗仔的歌曲，像《四面楚歌》這樣。這些歌曲可能引起不了太多的共鳴，因為可能很多人沒有遇到狗仔，很多人不知道狗仔這么討厭。慢慢的回歸，我覺得必須要給一些正能量，所以我就沒有再寫這些有的沒的歌了。那寫了《夢想啟動》，《稻香》。

那時候我想說這么多的歌手，我要怎么樣去不一樣。所有的歐美的這些饒舌歌手，他們的歌詞充滿著暴力，他們的音樂很重，反差很大。我喜歡做反差很大的東西，那就是中國風了。中國風呢，其實老實講特別難寫，因為他只有五聲音階，你要怎么樣跟別人不一樣？那我就想說，我這種嗓音，咬字不清可不可以來中國風一下？于是呢，先寫了這個《東風破》，我想大家都還熟悉吧？（音樂）

然后拍了《黃金甲》之后呢，也感謝這個張藝謀導演。他說：“我有聽過你的這個《東風破》，不然來一個跟這個《黃金甲》有關的你覺得怎么樣？”那時候我寫了兩首歌，一個是《黃金甲》，肯定大家比較沒有聽過，大家聽到的都是《菊花臺》對不對？果然，張導比較喜歡《菊花臺》，所以用它作為了片尾曲。那這歌，也讓很多的歌迷朋友的爸爸媽媽也認識了我。那也因此，很多差不多我蠻常遇到四五十歲，五六十歲，還有一些老奶奶說：我喜歡聽你的《菊花臺》。我才知道，其實聽我歌的年齡層次是這么的廣泛，所以我終于找到自己的特色，每張專輯要有個中國風。所以這對于一個歌手來講，你看累不累？其實非常累，因為你要想很多；然后，你寫了十首歌曲，你還要拍十支MV。為什么，因為我在寫每首歌的時候，我的畫面都已經在頭腦里了，所以我必須把它拍出來。交給別人來拍，不信任別人，這就是我自己相信自己的地方（掌聲）

所以，先拍了第一支MV。但是，是拿我的師弟當做白老鼠，來試驗一下。拍完他們的MV我看一下覺得：哎 好像不錯。我才來拍自己的MV（觀眾笑），于是我拍了第一支MV之后，拍了第二支MV，拍了十支MV，拍了二十支MV，到現在累計，我覺得應該有七八十支MV了。這些MV呢，其實都是一個經驗，為什么？因為我想當導演，所以我不斷的在練習。這MV當中有好的，有不好的，你們覺得怎么樣？（掌聲）

你們其實現在還是學生的時代，現在講這個會不會好像太遠了，其實不會，因為你們要考慮到未來。所以我才會寫一首歌，叫做《聽媽媽的話》。告訴從前的自己，因為那時候很喜歡周潤發，周潤發拍了一部片叫《賭神》，那也是為什么我喜歡變魔術的原因，是吧？所以呢，我寫了一首歌，從未來告訴以前的自己，你會遇到周潤發，因為他會演《黃金甲》當上了你爸，所以賭神未來會是你爸爸，懂了吧？（觀眾笑）

那時候聽的流行歌曲是張學友的歌，其實我開始寫歌就是因為《吻別》開始。我就想說，有一天一定要寫歌給他。果然，張學友唱了我的歌曲，而且還跟他一起同臺表演，我就代表說自己不平凡了（掌聲）。

這些都是在我音樂的領域，我覺得我已經成功了。在電影方面，拍《不能說的秘密》大家看過吧？那我一直在想，怎樣的愛情可以變得不一樣，然后穿梭時空這個電影情節我覺得非常特別。所以我利用了鋼琴的速度來想象成是時光機，所以我覺得人要有想象力，因為很多人覺得我很天馬行空的亂想東西，其實到時候做出來大家都是會嚇一跳。這些工作人員往往會覺得：“什么，你講的劇本我覺得很奇怪，怎么鋼琴彈得快變成時光機這樣的”，拍出來，大家是不是嚇一跳了，是不是了？沒錯。（掌聲）

然后，在這邊鼓勵大家就是，找尋自己的那一點跟大家的不一樣，去把它放大。

今天的演講到此結束，謝謝！（掌聲）

第五篇：克林頓在北京大學的英文演講稿

克林頓在北京大學的英文演講稿

PRESIDENT CLINTON:

Thank you.Thank you, President Chen, Chairmen Ren, Vice President Chi, Vice Minister Wei.We are delighted to be here today with a very large American delegation, including the First Lady and our daughter, who is a student at Stanford, one of the schools with which Beijing University has a relationship.We have six members of the United States Congress;the Secretary of State;Secretary of Commerce;the Secretary of Agriculture;the Chairman of our Council of Economic Advisors;Senator Sasser, our Ambassador;the National Security Advisor and my Chief of Staff, among others.I say that to illustrate the importance that the United States places on our relationship with China.I would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university.Gongxi, Beida.(Applause.)

As I'm sure all of you know, this campus was once home to Yenching University which was founded by American missionaries.Many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an American architect.Thousands of Americans students and professors have come here to study and teach.We feel a special kinship with you.I am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago.In June of 1919, the first president of Yenching University, John Leighton Stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds.At the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared.They were all out leading the May 4th Movement for China's political and cultural renewal.When I read this, I hoped that when I walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here.And I thank you for being here, very much.(Applause.)

Over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students.Your graduates are spread throughout China and around the world.You have built the largest university library in all of Asia.Last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors.And in this anniversary year, more than a million people in China, Asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site.At the dawn of a new century, this university is leading China into the future.I come here today to talk to you, the next generation of China's leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between China and the United States.The American people deeply admire China for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology.We remember well our strong partnership in World War II.Now we see China at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.Just three decades ago, China was virtually shut off from the world.Now, China is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations--enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development.You have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale.Today, 40,000 young Chinese study in the United States, with hundreds of thousands more learning in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.Your social and economic transformation has been even more remarkable, moving from a closed command economic system to a driving, increasingly market-based and driven economy, generating two decades of unprecedented growth, giving people greater freedom to travel within and outside China, to vote in village elections, to own a home, choose a job, attend a better school.As a result you have lifted literally hundreds of millions of people from poverty.Per capita income has more than doubled in the last decade.Most Chinese people are leading lives they could not have imagined just 20 years ago.Of course, these changes have also brought disruptions in settled patterns of life and work, and have imposed enormous strains on your environment.Once every urban Chinese was guaranteed employment in a state enterprise.Now you must compete in a job market.Once a Chinese worker had only to meet the demands of a central planner in Beijing.Now the global economy means all must match the quality and creativity of the rest of the world.For those who lack the right training and skills and support, this new world can be daunting.In the short-term, good, hardworking people--some, at least will find themselves unemployed.And, as all of you can see, there have been enormous environmental and economic and health care costs to the development pattern and the energy use pattern of the last 20 years--from air pollution to deforestation to acid rain and water shortage.In the face of these challenges new systems of training and social security will have to be devised, and new environmental policies and technologies will have to be introduced with the goal of growing your economy while improving the environment.Everything I know about the intelligence, the ingenuity, the enterprise of the Chinese people and everything I have heard these last few days in my discussions with President Jiang, Prime Minister Zhu and others give me confidence that you will succeed.As you build a new China, America wants to build a new relationship with you.We want China to be successful, secure and open, working with us for a more peaceful and prosperous world.I know there are those in China and the United States who question whether closer relations between our countries is a good thing.But everything all of us know about the way the world is changing and the challenges your generation will face tell us that our two nations will be far better off working together than apart.The late Deng Xiaoping counseled us to seek truth from facts.At the dawn of the new century, the facts are clear.The distance between our two nations, indeed, between any nations, is shrinking.Where once an American clipper ship took months to cross from China to the United States.Today, technology has made us all virtual neighbors.From laptops to lasers, from microchips to megabytes, an information revolution is lighting the landscape of human knowledge, bringing us all closer together.Ideas, information, and money cross the planet at the stroke of a computer key, bringing with them extraordinary opportunities to create wealth, to prevent and conquer disease, to foster greater understanding among peoples of different histories and different cultures.But we also know that this greater openness and faster change mean that problems which start beyond one nations borders can quickly move inside them--the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the threats of organized crime and drug trafficking, of environmental degradation, and severe economic dislocation.No nation can isolate itself from these problems, and no nation can solve them alone.We, especially the younger generations of China and the United States, must make common cause of our common challenges, so that we can, together, shape a new century of brilliant possibilities.In the 21st century--your century--China and the United States will face the challenge of security in Asia.On the Korean Peninsula, where once we were adversaries, today we are working together for a permanent peace and a future freer of nuclear weapons.On the Indian subcontinent, just as most of the rest of the world is moving away from nuclear danger, India and Pakistan risk sparking a new arms race.We are now pursuing a common strategy to move India and Pakistan away from further testing and toward a dialogue to resolve their differences.In the 21st century, your generation must face the challenge of stopping the spread of deadlier nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.In the wrong hands or the wrong places, these weapons can threaten the peace of nations large and small.Increasingly, China and the United States agree on the importance of stopping proliferation.That is why we are beginning to act in concert to control the worlds most dangerous weapons.In the 21st century, your generation will have to reverse the international tide of crime and drugs.Around the world, organized crime robs people of billions of dollars every year and undermines trust in government.America knows all about the devastation and despair that drugs can bring to schools and neighborhoods.With borders on more than a dozen countries, China has become a crossroad for smugglers of all kinds.Last year, President Jiang and I asked senior Chinese and American law enforcement officials to step up our cooperation against these predators, to stop money from being laundered, to stop aliens from being cruelly smuggled, to stop currencies from being undermined by counterfeiting.Just this month, our drug enforcement agency opened an office in Beijing, and soon Chinese counternarcotics experts will be working out of Washington.In the 21st century, your generation must make it your mission to ensure that today's progress does not come at tomorrow's expense.China's remarkable growth in the last two decades has come with a toxic cost, pollutants that foul the water you drink and the air you breathe--the cost is not only environmental, it is also serious in terms of the health consequences of your people and in terms of the drag on economic growth.Environmental problems are also increasingly global as well as national.For example, in the near future, if present energy use patterns persist, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the gases which are the principal cause of global warming.If the nations of the world do not reduce the gases which are causing global warming, sometime in the next century there is a serious risk of dramatic changes in climate which will change the way we live and the way we work, which could literally bury some island nations under mountains of water and undermine the economic and social fabric of nations.We must work together.We Americans know from our own experience that it is possible to grow an economy while improving the environment.We must do that together for ourselves and for the world.Building on the work that our Vice President, Al Gore, has done previously with the Chinese government, President Jiang and I are working together on ways to bring American clean energy technology to help improve air quality and grow the Chinese economy at the same time.But I will say this again--this is not on my remarks--your generation must do more about this.This is a huge challenge for you, for the American people and for the future of the world.And it must be addressed at the university level, because political leaders will never be willing to adopt environmental measures if they believe it will lead to large-scale unemployment or more poverty.The evidence is clear that does not have to happen.You will actually have more rapid economic growth and better paying jobs, leading to higher levels of education and technology if we do this in the proper way.But you and the university, communities in China, the United States and throughout the world will have to lead the way.(Applause.)

In the 21st century your generation must also lead the challenge of an international financial system that has no respect for national borders.When stock markets fall in Hong Kong or Jakarta, the effects are no longer local;they are global.The vibrant growth of your own economy is tied closely, therefore, to the restoration of stability and growth in the Asia Pacific region.China has steadfastly shouldered its responsibilities to the region and the world in this latest financial crisis--helping to prevent another cycle of dangerous devaluations.We must continue to work together to counter this threat to the global financial system and to the growth and prosperity which should be embracing all of this region.In the 21st century, your generation will have a remarkable opportunity to bring together the talents of our scientists, doctors, engineers into a shared quest for progress.Already the breakthroughs we have achieved in our areas of joint cooperation--in challenges from dealing with spina bifida to dealing with extreme weather conditions and earthquakes--have proved what we can do together to change the lives of millions of people in China and the United States and around the world.Expanding our cooperation in science and technology can be one of our greatest gifts to the future.In each of these vital areas that I have mentioned, we can clearly accomplish so much more by walking together rather than standing apart.That is why we should work to see that the productive relationship we now enjoy blossoms into a fuller partnership in the new century.If that is to happen, it is very important that we understand each other better, that we understand both our common interest and our shared aspirations and our honest differences.I believe the kind of open, direct exchange that President Jiang and I had on Saturday at our press conference--which I know many of you watched on television--can both clarify and narrow our differences, and, more important, by allowing people to understand and debate and discuss these things can give a greater sense of confidence to our people that we can make a better future.From the windows of the White House, where I live in Washington, D.C., the monument to our first President, George Washington, dominates the skyline.It is a very tall obelisk.But very near this large monument there is a small stone which contains these words: The United States neither established titles of nobility and royalty, nor created a hereditary system.State affairs are put to the vote of public opinion.This created a new political situation, unprecedented from ancient times to the present.How wonderful it is.Those words were not written by an American.They were written by Xu Jiyu, governor of Fujian Province, inscribed as a gift from the government of China to our nation in 1853.I am very grateful for that gift from China.It goes to the heart of who we are as a people--the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the freedom to debate, to dissent, to associate, to worship without interference from the state.These are the ideals that were at the core of our founding over 220 years ago.These are the ideas that led us across our continent and onto the world stage.These are the ideals that Americans cherish today.As I said in my press conference with President Jiang, we have an ongoing quest ourselves to live up to those ideals.The people who framed our Constitution understood that we would never achieve perfection.They said that the mission of America would always be “to form a more perfect union”--in other words, that we would never be perfect, but we had to keep trying to do better.The darkest moments in our history have come when we abandoned the effort to do better, when we denied freedom to our people because of their race or their religion, because there were new immigrants or because they held unpopular opinions.The best moments in our history have come when we protected the freedom of people who held unpopular opinion, or extended rights enjoyed by the many to the few who had previously been denied them, making, therefore, the promises of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution more than faded words on old parchment.Today we do not seek to impose our vision on others, but we are convinced that certain rights are universal--not American rights or European rights or rights for developed nations, but the birthrights of people everywhere, now enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights--the right to be treated with dignity;the right to express one's opinions, to choose one's own leaders, to associate freely with others, and to worship, or not, freely, however one chooses.In the last letter of his life, the author of our Declaration of Independence and our third President, Thomas Jefferson, said then that “all eyes are opening to the rights of man.” I believe that in this time, at long last, 172 years after Jefferson wrote those words, all eyes are opening to the rights of men and women everywhere.Over the past two decades, a rising tide of freedom has lifted the lives of millions around the world, sweeping away failed dictatorial systems in the Former Soviet Union, throughout Central Europe;ending a vicious cycle of military coups and civil wars in Latin America;giving more people in Africa the chance to make the most of their hard-won independence.And from the Philippines to South Korea, from Thailand to Mongolia, freedom has reached Asia's shores, powering a surge of growth and productivity.Economic security also can be an essential element of freedom.It is recognized in the United Nations Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.In China, you have made extraordinary strides in nurturing that liberty, and spreading freedom from want, to be a source of strength to your people.Incomes are up, poverty is down;people do have more choices of jobs, and the ability to travel--the ability to make a better life.But true freedom includes more than economic freedom.In America, we believe it is a concept which is indivisible.Over the past four days, I have seen freedom in many manifestations in China.I have seen the fresh shoots of democracy growing in the villages of your heartland.I have visited a village that chose its own leaders in free elections.I have also seen the cell phones, the video players, the fax machines carrying ideas, information and images from all over the world.I've heard people speak their minds and I have joined people in prayer in the faith of my own choosing.In all these ways I felt a steady breeze of freedom.The question is, where do we go from here? How do we work together to be on the right side of history together? More than 50 years ago, Hu Shi, one of your great political thinkers and a teacher at this university, said these words: “Now some people say to me you must sacrifice your individual freedom so that the nation may be free.But I reply, the struggle for individual freedom is the struggle for the nation's freedom.The struggle for your own character is the struggle for the nation's character.”

We Americans believe Hu Shi was right.We believe and our experience demonstrates that freedom strengthens stability and helps nations to change.One of our founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, once said, “Our critics are our friends, for they show us our faults.” Now, if that is true, there are many days in the United States when the President has more friends than anyone else in America.(Laughter.)But it is so.In the world we live in, this global information age, constant improvement and change is necessary to economic opportunity and to national strength.Therefore, the freest possible flow of information, ideas, and opinions, and a greater respect for divergent political and religious convictions will actually breed strength and stability going forward.It is, therefore, profoundly in your interest, and the world's, that young Chinese minds be free to reach the fullness of their potential.That is the message of our time and the mandate of the new century and the new millennium.I hope China will more fully embrace this mandate.For all the grandeur of your history, I believe your greatest days are still ahead.Against great odds in the 20th century China has not only survived, it is moving forward dramatically.Other ancient cultures failed because they failed to change.China has constantly proven the capacity to change and grow.Now, you must re-imagine China again for a new century, and your generation must be at the heart of China's regeneration.The new century is upon us.All our sights are turned toward the future.Now your country has known more millennia than the United States has known centuries.Today, however, China is as young as any nation on Earth.This new century can be the dawn of a new China, proud of your ancient greatness, proud of what you are doing, prouder still of the tomorrows to come.It can be a time when the world again looks to China for the vigor of its culture, the freshness of its thinking, the elevation of human dignity that is apparent in its works.It can be a time when the oldest of nations helps to make a new world.The United States wants to work with you to make that time a reality.Thank you very much.(Applause.)
