【雙語美文】7首著名的英文短詩，唯美在意境中流淌！

1.The Road Not Taken(未走過的路)

by(USA)Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth.Then to the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same.And both that morning equally lay, In leaves no step had trod black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged i a woo, and I----I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.2.Freedom and Love(自由與愛情)by(Ireland)Thomas Campbell How delicious is the winning Of a kiss at loves beginning, When two mutual hearts are sighing For the knot there's no untying.Yet remember, 'mist your wooing, Love is bliss, but love has ruining;Other smiles may make you fickle, Tears for charm may tickle.3.The Silver Swan by Anonymous The silver swan, who living had no note, When death approached, unlocked her silent throat;Leaning her breast against the reedy shore, Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more: Farewell, all joys;O death, come close mine eyes;More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise.4.A Damsel at Vassar by Anonymous A damsel at Vassar named Breeze, Weighed down with B.Litt's and D.D's, Collapsed from the strain.Said her doctor, “It's plain You are killing yourself----by degrees.”

5.Love's Secret(愛情的秘密)by(UK)William Blake Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told shall be;For the gentle wind does move Silently, invisibly.I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart, Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears.Ah!she did depart!Soon after she was gone from me, A traveller came by, Silently, invisibly: He took her with a sigh.6.A Red, Red Rose(紅紅的玫瑰)by(UK)Robert Burns O, my Luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June.O, my Luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune.As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in Luve am I, And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry!Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun!I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run.And fare thee weel, my only Luve!And fare thee weel, a while!And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

7.On Death(死亡)

by(KU)Walter Savager Landor Death stands above me, whispering low I know not what into my ear: Of his strange language all I know Is, there is not a word of fear.

第二篇：著名英文演講稿

篇一：百篇著名英文演講 奧巴馬 紀念曼德拉

the president: at his trial in 1964, nelson mandela closed his statement from the dock saying, i have fought against white domination, and i have fought against black domination.i have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.it is an ideal which i hope to live for and to achieve.but if needs be, it is an ideal for which i am prepared to die.總統：納爾遜?曼德拉（nelson mandela）在1964年接受審判時在被告席上結束他的陳述時說：“我曾為反對白人統治而斗爭，也曾為反對黑人統治而斗爭。我一直珍藏著一個民主、自由的社會的理想，讓所有人都生活在一個和諧共處、機會均等的社會中。我希望為這個理想而生并將其付諸實現。但是，如果需要，我也愿為這樣一個理想獻出生命。”

and nelson mandela lived for that ideal, and he made it real.he achieved more than could be expected of any man.today, he has gone home.and we have lost one of the most influential, courageous, and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this earth.he no longer belongs to us--he belongs to the ages.納爾遜?曼德拉為這個理想而生，并將其變成現實。他的成就超出了我們能夠寄望于任何一個人去取得的。今天，他安息了。而我們失去了一位我們任何一個人能在這個地球上與之共渡時光的人中最有影響力、最有勇氣、最無比善良的一位。他不再屬于我們——他屬于千秋萬世。

曼德拉以其強烈的尊嚴和為了他人的自由不惜犧牲自己的自由的不折的意志，改變了南非的面貌，并感動了我們所有人。他從一名囚徒變成一位總統的歷程體現了全人類——以及各個國家——都能變得更美好的希望。他移交權力并同那些關押他的人和解的承諾樹立了一個全人類都應當追求的典范，不論是在國家生活中，還是在我們的個人生活中。而他在做到這一切時還能保持風度和幽默，以及承認自己的不足的能力，這使他更加卓爾不群。他曾說過：“我不是一個圣人，除非你們認為圣人是一個不斷努力的罪人。”

i am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from nelson mandelas life.my very first political action, the first thing i ever did that involved an issue or a policy or politics, was a protest against apartheid.i studied his words and his writings.the day that he was released from prison gave me a sense of what human beings can do when theyre guided by their hopes and not by their fears.and like so many around the globe, i cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that nelson mandela set, and so long as i live i will do what i can to learn from him.我是從曼德拉的一生得到啟迪的千百萬人之一。我從事的第一次政治活動，第一次同任何議題、政策或者政治有關的活動，是一次反對種族隔離的抗議。我常常學習他的言論和文章。他走出監獄的那一天使我意識到，人類在奔向希望而沒有恐懼的時候是何等的大有作為。我和世界各地許多人一樣，無法想象如果沒有曼德拉樹立的榜樣，我自己的一生會是什么樣子。在我有生之年，我將竭盡所能向他學習。

米歇爾和我謹向格拉薩?馬歇爾和曼德拉的家人致以最深沉的慰唁，并感謝他們與我們分享這位不平凡的人。他的畢生努力意味著長年累月遠離最愛他的人們。我真切地希望與他共同度過的最后這幾個星期為他的家人帶來了平靜與安慰。

to the people of south africa, we draw strength from the example of renewal, and reconciliation, and resilience that you made real.a free south africa at peace with itself--thats an example to the world, and thats madibas legacy to the nation he loved.對南非人民，我們要說，你們通過復生、和解與堅毅樹立的榜樣給了我們力量。一個自由、和平的南非——這是世界的榜樣，這是“馬迪巴”為他所熱愛的國家留下的遺產。

we will not likely see the likes of nelson mandela again.so it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love;to never discount the difference that one person can make;to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice.我們可能難以再見到像納爾遜?曼德拉這樣的偉人。因此，我們的責任是盡我們所能把他樹立的榜樣傳承下去：基于愛——而不是恨——來作決定；永遠不要低估一個人所能帶來的變化；努力建設一個無愧于他的犧牲的未來。

for now, let us pause and give thanks for the fact that nelson mandela lived--a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice.may god bless his memory and keep him in peace.現在，讓我們停下來，為納爾遜?曼德拉曾經活著而表達我們的感激之情——他用雙手握住歷史，把道德宇宙的長虹折向正義。愿上帝保佑他的記憶，使他安息。

祖瑪 紀念曼德拉

i have ordered that all flags of the republic of south africa be lowered to half-mast from tomorrow, 6 december, and to remain at half-mast until after the funeral.我已下命所有懸掛國旗的機構在6日起開始降半旗，直到葬禮結束。

as we gather to pay our last respects, let us conduct ourselves with the dignity and respect that madiba personified.我們聚在一起向曼德拉表示最后的敬意，讓我們向這位崇高而又受人尊敬的人告別吧！let us be mindful of his wishes and the wishes of his family.讓我們謹記他和他家庭的心愿。

as we gather, wherever we are in the country and wherever we are in the world, let us recall the values for which madiba fought.讓我們謹記曼德拉為之奮斗的價值觀吧，無論身在南非何處，無論身在世界何地。

let us reaffirm his vision of a society in which none is exploited, oppressed or dispossessed by another.讓我們繼承他的遺志，建立一個沒有剝削，沒有壓迫，沒有掠奪的社會。

讓我們團結一心，增強力量和勇氣，建立一個團結、沒有種族歧視、性別歧視、民主繁榮的南非共和國。

let us express, each in our own way, the deep gratitude we feel for a life spent in service of the people of this country and in the cause of humanity.讓我們向這位窮其一生服務國家人民和人類事業的人表示衷心的感謝。this is indeed the moment of our deepest sorrow.這一刻，我們向曼德拉表示最深沉的哀悼。

yet it must also be the moment of our greatest determination.這一刻，也是我們彰顯堅定決心的時刻。

a determination to live as madiba has lived, to strive as madiba has strived and to not rest until we have realised his vision of a truly united south africa, a peaceful and prosperous africa, and a better world.決心像曼德拉一樣活著，為曼德拉奮斗的事業而奮斗，直至實現他的夙愿，建立一個真正統一的南非，一個繁榮和平的南非，一個更加美好的世界。

we will always love you madiba!may your soul rest in peace.我們永遠愛您，曼德拉！愿您的靈魂得到安息。god bless africa.nkosi sikelel’ iafrika.上帝保佑南非。上帝保佑非洲。篇二：世界著名英文演講_附譯文 1 世界著名英文演講 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！help： possession: n.財產

torturing : adj.使痛苦的二．

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！” help：

grievous: adj.令人憂傷的 buoyancy: n.浮性 浮力 輕快 entitled： adj.有資格的

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！” help： creed： n.信條 brotherhood : n.手足情意，兄弟關系

四．

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。help: stimulation: n.激勵，刺激

evanescent: adj.漸漸消失的，易消散的 profit： vi.得益，利用

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！” help： grievous: adj.令人憂傷的 buoyancy: n.浮性 浮力 輕快 entitled： adj.有資格的六.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, gods 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

citizen: n.市民,公民 sacrifice: n./ v.犧牲,獻身 conscience: n.良心,道德心

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

ueasoning: adj.喪失理智的 unjustified: adj.毫無根據的 frankness: n.率直,坦白八

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

in this symposium:此刻at this timegoal: n.目的,目標 standstill: n.停止九

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

insignificant: adj.無關緊要的、可忽略的

democracy: n.民主政治、民主主義篇三：經典英語演講99篇 i have a dream---martin luther king 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.it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.this sweltering summer of the negros 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.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.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 ever 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.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 down 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.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 snow-capped 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 to 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 gods 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.inaugural address------john f.kennedy we observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change.for i have sworn before you and almighty god the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.this much we pledge--and more.to those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends.united there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.divided there is little we can do, for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace--before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.let us never negotiate out of fear.but let us never fear to negotiate.let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.and if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor--not a new balance of power, but a new world of law--where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved.all this will not be finished in the first one hundred days.nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days;nor in the life of this administration;nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet.but let us begin.in your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course.since this country was founded, each generation of americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty.the graves of young americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.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? 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, withhistory 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 gods work must truly be our own.mr.chief justice and friends: this is a day of national consecration.and i am certain that on this day my fellow americans expect that on my induction into the presidency i will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels.this is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly.nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today.this great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.so, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, ueasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.in every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and a 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.true, they have tried.but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition.faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money.stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence.they only know the rules of a generation of self-seekers.they have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.yes, the money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization.we may now restore that temple to the ancient truths.the measure of that restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.happiness lies not in the mere possession of money;it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.the joy, the 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 unto but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.recognition of that falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit;and there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing.small

第四篇：英文短詩演講《The Sea》

The Sea

海

(1)The Sea!the Sea!the open Sea!

海啊！海啊！遼闊的大海！The blue, the fresh, the ever free!

碧藍，清新，永遠地自由自在！Without a mark, without a bound，沒有標志，沒有境界，It runneth the earth's wide regions 'round;

它圍繞著大地； It plays with the clouds;it mocks the skies;與云彩嬉戲，向蒼穹嘲弄； Or like a cradled creature lies.間或嬰兒似地靜躺在搖籃里。

(2)I'm on the Sea!I'm on the Sea!

我在海上！我在海上！I am where I would ever be;

這兒是我永遠愿待的地方； With the blue above, and the blue below, 上有藍藍的天，下有藍藍的海，And silence wheresoe'er I go;

處處都是一片寂寞，If a storm should come and awake the deep, 即使風浪將來喚醒大海，What matter? I shall ride and sleep.有甚么關系？駕舟，就寢皆由我。

(3)I love(oh!how I love)to ride

我樂于（啊！我多么樂于）航行，On the fierce foaming bursting tide，在泡沫兇惡而崩裂的潮水上，When every mad wave drowns the moon，此時狂浪吞沒了月影，Or whistles aloft his tempest tune，嘯聲高奏著風暴曲，And tells how goes the world below，傾訴底下的世界是何等模樣，And why the south-west blasts do blow.西南風又為何而吹。

(4)I never was on the dull tame shore

我從不留戀單調溫馴的海岸，but I lov'd the GREat Sea more and more, 只是愈來愈沉迷于海上，And backwards flew to her billowy breast, 像鳥兒尋找母巢一般，Like a bird that seeketh its mother's nest;忽忙地飛回那濤濤巨浪的懷抱；

And mother she was, and is to me;

對我而言她就是慈母； For I was born on the open Sea!

因為我生長在海上！[ by Bryan W.Procter, 1787-1874 ]

奧巴馬 紀念曼德拉

THE PRESIDENT: At his trial in 1964, Nelson Mandela closed his statement from the dock saying, “I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination.I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve.But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

總統：納爾遜?曼德拉（Nelson Mandela）在1964年接受審判時在被告席上結束他的陳述時說：“我曾為反對白人統治而斗爭，也曾為反對黑人統治而斗爭。我一直珍藏著一個民主、自由的社會的理想，讓所有人都生活在一個和諧共處、機會均等的社會中。我希望為這個理想而生并將其付諸實現。但是，如果需要，我也愿為這樣一個理想獻出生命。”

And Nelson Mandela lived for that ideal, and he made it real.He achieved more than could be expected of any man.Today, he has gone home.And we have lost one of the most influential, courageous, and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this Earth.He no longer belongs to us--he belongs to the ages.納爾遜?曼德拉為這個理想而生，并將其變成現實。他的成就超出了我們能夠寄望于任何一個人去取得的。今天，他安息了。而我們失去了一位我們任何一個人能在這個地球上與之共渡時光的人中最有影響力、最有勇氣、最無比善良的一位。他不再屬于我們——他屬于千秋萬世。

Through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, Madiba transformed South Africa--and moved all of us.His journey from a prisoner to a President embodied the promise that human beings--and countries--can change for the better.His commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to, whether in the lives of nations or our own personal lives.And the fact that he did it all with grace and good humor, and an ability to acknowledge his own imperfections, only makes the man that much more remarkable.As he once said, “I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.”

曼德拉以其強烈的尊嚴和為了他人的自由不惜犧牲自己的自由的不折的意志，改變了南非的面貌，并感動了我們所有人。他從一名囚徒變成一位總統的歷程體現了全人類——以及各個國家——都能變得更美好的希望。他移交權力并同那些關押他的人和解的承諾樹立了一個全人類都應當追求的典范，不論是在國家生活中，還是在我們的個人生活中。而他在做到這一切時還能保持風度和幽默，以及承認自己的不足的能力，這使他更加卓爾不群。他曾說過：“我不是一個圣人，除非你們認為圣人是一個不斷努力的罪人。”

I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela's life.My very first political action, the first thing I ever did that involved an issue or a policy or politics, was a protest against apartheid.I studied his words and his writings.The day that he was released from prison gave me a sense of what human beings can do when they're guided by their hopes and not by their fears.And like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set, and so long as I live I will do what I can to learn from him.我是從曼德拉的一生得到啟迪的千百萬人之一。我從事的第一次政治活動，第一次同任何議題、政策或者政治有關的活動，是一次反對種族隔離的抗議。我常常學習他的言論和文章。他走出監獄的那一天使我意識到，人類在奔向希望而沒有恐懼的時候是何等的大有作為。我和世界各地許多人一樣，無法想象如果沒有曼德拉樹立的榜樣，我自己的一生會是什么樣子。在我有生之年，我將竭盡所能向他學習。

To Gra?a Machel and his family, Michelle and I extend our deepest sympathy and gratitude for

sharing this extraordinary man with us.His life's work meant long days away from those who loved him the most.And I only hope that the time spent with him these last few weeks brought peace and comfort to his family.米歇爾和我謹向格拉薩?馬歇爾和曼德拉的家人致以最深沉的慰唁，并感謝他們與我們分享這位不平凡的人。他的畢生努力意味著長年累月遠離最愛他的人們。我真切地希望與他共同度過的最后這幾個星期為他的家人帶來了平靜與安慰。

To the people of South Africa, we draw strength from the example of renewal, and reconciliation, and resilience that you made real.A free South Africa at peace with itself--that's an example to the world, and that's Madiba's legacy to the nation he loved.對南非人民，我們要說，你們通過復生、和解與堅毅樹立的榜樣給了我們力量。一個自由、和平的南非——這是世界的榜樣，這是“馬迪巴”為他所熱愛的國家留下的遺產。

We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again.So it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love;to never discount the difference that one person can make;to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice.我們可能難以再見到像納爾遜?曼德拉這樣的偉人。因此，我們的責任是盡我們所能把他樹立的榜樣傳承下去：基于愛——而不是恨——來作決定；永遠不要低估一個人所能帶來的變化；努力建設一個無愧于他的犧牲的未來。

For now, let us pause and give thanks for the fact that Nelson Mandela lived--a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice.May God Bless his memory and keep him in peace.現在，讓我們停下來，為納爾遜?曼德拉曾經活著而表達我們的感激之情——他用雙手握住歷史，把道德宇宙的長虹折向正義。愿上帝保佑他的記憶，使他安息。
