Good afternoon, everyone: What i want to introduce to you is American Independence Day,which is equivalent to Chinese National Day

Independence Day,commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.During the American Revolution（美國(guó)獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)）, the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence.After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five(五人小組), with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author.Congress debated and revised（修正）the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4.From then on, American celebrated the birthday of their homeland every year by a variety of ways.In the beginning, people will held demonstrations and speeches in this special day and most of these activities were covered with a layer of religious color.With the development of America, outdoor activities and sports events also became a part of celebration.Fireworks activities were once very popular before 20th century, but government canceled these projects to prevent the risk of fire after 20th century.Nowadays, Independence Day in the United States is a fairly important festival.People will have a day off to relax.All of american church bells rang in honor of American Independence after the ringing of Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.Various floats, model cars, acrobatics car and crowd line up a enormous and powerful team to go forward which is a very spectacular sight.At the end of the procession, people tend to gather in a park or public place.All the families dance and cheer, or have a picnic in sound of music.Businessmen are busy selling souvenirs, the politicians take the opportunity to conduct campaign speeches, the kids play games on the grass, the entire United States show the joyful scene of festival.That's all.Thank you!

第二篇：美國(guó)獨(dú)立日中英簡(jiǎn)介

美國(guó)獨(dú)立日（Independence Day）是美國(guó)的主要法定節(jié)日之一，日期為每年7月4日，以紀(jì)念1776年7月4日大陸會(huì)議在費(fèi)城正式通過(guò)《獨(dú)立宣言》。這一天會(huì)首先敲響費(fèi)城的自由鐘，各地居民自發(fā)地進(jìn)行慶祝游行，政客會(huì)發(fā)表演說(shuō)以頌揚(yáng)美國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的自由觀念。從15世紀(jì)末起，英國(guó)移民。17世紀(jì)到18世紀(jì)前半期，英國(guó)在北美大西洋沿岸建立了13個(gè)殖民地，并加強(qiáng)了對(duì)殖民地人民的壓迫和剝削，激起了當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣窈托屡d資產(chǎn)階級(jí)的反抗。1775年，北美13個(gè)殖民地的人民開(kāi)始掀起推翻英國(guó)殖民統(tǒng)治的獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，組成了“大陸軍”，由華盛頓任總司令。1776年7月4日，殖民地代表在費(fèi)城召開(kāi)了第二次大陸會(huì)議，通過(guò)了《獨(dú)立宣言》，正式宣布建立美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。

《獨(dú)立宣言》是英屬北美殖民地人民宣告獨(dú)立的綱領(lǐng)性文件。《獨(dú)立宣言》向全世界宣告：“聯(lián)合一致的殖民地從此是自由和獨(dú)立的國(guó)家”。《獨(dú)立宣言》的起草人是資產(chǎn)階級(jí)民主派人士托馬斯·杰斐遜。來(lái)自各殖民地的56位代表在《宣言》上簽了字。宣言的標(biāo)題是《美利堅(jiān)十三國(guó)聯(lián)合邦的一致宣言》。《宣言》全文約2500字，分三個(gè)部分。第一部分闡明資產(chǎn)階級(jí)革命的基本原則，提出了著名的人權(quán)原則，《宣言》指出：“人類(lèi)生而平等，造物者賦予他們?nèi)舾刹豢蓜儕Z的權(quán)利，其中包括生命權(quán)、自由權(quán)和追求幸福的權(quán)利”。第二部分譴責(zé)英國(guó)殖民當(dāng)局的種種暴政。第三部分宣告13個(gè)殖民地獨(dú)立，建立獨(dú)立國(guó)家，斷絕與英國(guó)的一切政治關(guān)系。《獨(dú)立宣言》反映了北美殖民地人民爭(zhēng)取自由獨(dú)立的愿望，激發(fā)了美國(guó)人民的自信心和自豪感，極大地鼓舞了各階層群眾奮起參加獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。《獨(dú)立宣言》對(duì)爭(zhēng)取各國(guó)人民的同情和支持，推動(dòng)后來(lái)的歐洲資產(chǎn)階級(jí)革命，特別是法國(guó)大革命及法國(guó)的《人權(quán)宣言》都產(chǎn)生了積極的影響。

《獨(dú)立宣言》發(fā)表以后第5年的9月，英國(guó)軍隊(duì)主力在約克鎮(zhèn)被擊潰，被迫同美國(guó)講和，并于1783年簽訂《巴黎和約》，正式承認(rèn)13個(gè)殖民地脫離英國(guó)獨(dú)立。美洲出現(xiàn)了第一個(gè)資產(chǎn)階級(jí)共和國(guó)。后來(lái)，7月4日被定為美國(guó)國(guó)慶日。每年的這一天，在美國(guó)各地都舉行隆重的盛典，進(jìn)行歌舞、體育、游行等活動(dòng)。早期的獨(dú)立日慶祝活動(dòng)主要是游行和演講，有時(shí)還帶有一定的宗教色彩，以后增加了體育比賽等戶(hù)外活動(dòng)。有一個(gè)時(shí)期，美國(guó)人民燃放鞭炮、煙火慶賀國(guó)慶，20世紀(jì)以后，政府為防止發(fā)生人身事故和火災(zāi)明令取消了這種形式。每年的獨(dú)立日這一天，全美大小教堂鐘聲齊鳴，而頭一個(gè)敲響的是費(fèi)城的自由鐘。

第三篇：美國(guó)奴隸制起源-講稿

The Beginning of Slavery in America 美國(guó)奴隸制起源

Hello, everyone!It is known that racial discrimination against the black people is an old problem in America which can be traced back to the colonial period.It was the dispute over Negro slavery that touched off the American Civil War in 1862.Slavery developed almost side by side with the English-American colonies.After the colonists reached the New World, they found that one of the problems to be solved was the shortage of labor.The first blacks were brought into the colonies in 1619.Within a few decades, the demand for cheap labor led to a large slave trade.After tobacco was successfully planted and more rich people arrived in the colonies, especially in the South, the problem of labor shortage became acute.European adventurers began to capture Negroes in Western Africa and transported them to America.The slave traders, many of whom were from New England, made a big profit from what was called the triangular trade between Europe, Africa and America.Plantation owners of the South got the cheap labor they needed.The number of Negro slaves increased very quickly before America won its independence.After the Independence War, Britain shifted much of its trade to other colonies.The price of tobacco fell sharply in America.Slave labor became less profitable and began to decline.Before long, America began its industrial revolution and the cotton gin was invented in 1793.The revolutionized cotton textile industry increased the demand for cotton.To increase the production of cotton, cheap labor was needed.As a result, the number of Negro slaves stopped falling and black slavery revived.Since the South had abundant and suitable land for farming and thus needed a lot labor, many slaves were bought by those plantationers.Moreover, the Blacks cannot endure the bitter cold in the North.That is why large numbers of blacks were in the South.By 1860, there were about 3 million Negro slaves in the South who made up about one-third of the total population of the South.Before the Civil War, more than 98% of the American Negroes were in the South.An average Southern plantation was about 1000 acres with 100 slaves.They fed on horrible food which was made in the central kitchen or in the black slaves’ cabins.They had to toil all day long in the cotton fields, eating their noon-day meals in the fields.Black slaves were supervised by the cold-blooded overseers.Slave owners could beat, sell, or kill a slave without violating the law.Negro families were often broken when the master sold some of his slaves.Marriage of the slaves were regarded by the slave owner as a means to produce more slaves.A slave owner could buy a man slave and marry him to a woman slave or vice versa.No slave was allowed to go out his master’ plantation unless he had obtained a written permission from his master.There were professional slave captors who would hunt down any slave in escape.The law did not allow anyone to teach the blacks how to read and write.It is no exaggeration to say that the Negro slaves were treated as farm animals.The only difference was that they could think and speak.If you want to know more about the miserable life of slaves, you can read Mrs.Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin or Solomon Northup’s 12 Years A Slave.The conflicts between the South and the North concerning slavery led to the American Civil War.We’re going to discuss that next session.Thank you.

第四篇：美國(guó)感恩節(jié)的起源

The origin of American Thanksgiving

As is known to us, the Thanksgiving is one of the most crucial festivals in the United States and Canada’s.However, the historical origins of the festivals in the both countries are different from each other.Here I’d like to introduce something about the origin of American Thanksgiving.In 1620,the boat called “may flower” arrived in North America from Britain, carrying 102 pilgrims.Unfortunately, in the winter of this year, they encountered unimaginable difficulties, half of them dyingof hunger.Luckily, the native Indians provided pilgrims with the necessities in time.What’s more, they were so kind that they even taught pilgrims how to hunt, fish and plant corn,pumpkin.With the help of the Indians,the immigrants finally overcame the difficulties and received a harvest.During the days of harvest celebration, according to religious traditions , immigrants rules the day of thanksgiving to god, and decided to show their gratitude to Indians.Immigrants invited them to celebrate the festival.In this day of the first Thanksgiving, immigrants and the Indians got together,chatting and eating happily.Immigrants were so grateful to god that they set off fireworks, held a grand banquet and enjoyed delicious turkeys.The first thanksgiving day was very successful.As a result,a lot of these celebration ways remained for many years.In 1789, the first American president Washington declared November,26was the national Thanksgiving celebration.However, for a long time, every state holiday date still stipulated based on their own situation.It was not until 1863 that president Lincoln declared Thanksgiving day was a national holiday again.In 1941, Congress passed bill, the president Roosevelt declared the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving day throughout the country.Nowadays Thanksgiving holiday usually lasts form Thursday to Sunday.In western countries,it is time for people to express gratitude and share love.Besides,thanksgiving day is a wonderful feast for children in which children can enjoy excellent snacks.Generally, the thanksgiving day plays an very important role in today’s Americans’ life.

7月1日晚，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)川普來(lái)到肯尼迪藝術(shù)中心，出席“自由集會(huì)”并演講，慶祝即將到來(lái)的美國(guó)獨(dú)立日。川普說(shuō)：“美國(guó)人民崇拜神，而不是政府。正如二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期的美國(guó)將軍巴頓，他在最艱難的時(shí)刻，祈禱的是神的救助。”

川普登上集會(huì)講臺(tái)后，在場(chǎng)觀眾報(bào)以熱烈的掌聲向他致意。川普說(shuō)：“我十分榮幸能參加在這里首次舉行的‘獨(dú)立日自由集會(huì)’。首先我們要向無(wú)私的、為國(guó)家默默付出的美國(guó)軍人和執(zhí)法員致敬。今晚，場(chǎng)內(nèi)的音樂(lè)在我們心中激蕩，它提醒我們所有人：我們是誰(shuí)？我們是生活在神的護(hù)佑下的子民，擁有同一個(gè)不可分割的國(guó)度。

“我想對(duì)在場(chǎng)的數(shù)百位退役軍人說(shuō)，作為總統(tǒng)，這是我首次參加獨(dú)立日慶典活動(dòng)。在這樣的時(shí)刻，我最想做的就是和你們?cè)谝黄稹?/p>

“我正在兌現(xiàn)向你們?cè)S下的諾言。正如你所見(jiàn)，不久前我簽署了‘為退伍軍人提供服務(wù)的問(wèn)責(zé)制’法案（Ensuring VA Employee Accountability Act）。這是過(guò)去40年中，美國(guó)往屆政府希望卻沒(méi)有做到的事。如今，我們完成了這項(xiàng)工作。未來(lái)，如果有政府官員不能向退役老兵提供及時(shí)和有效的服務(wù)時(shí)，我們可以對(duì)他說(shuō)── ‘你被解雇了！’

“我們向老兵們保證，我們將永遠(yuǎn)照顧好你們，請(qǐng)放心。

“你們不僅用語(yǔ)言表達(dá)對(duì)國(guó)家的效忠，更以實(shí)際行動(dòng)、你們的勇敢與不怕?tīng)奚木瘢瑑冬F(xiàn)你們對(duì)偉大美國(guó)的效忠。你們?cè)谝淮未稳蝿?wù)中，讓美國(guó)取得勝利。因此，我們一定不會(huì)忘記你們，我們會(huì)照料好你們。“美國(guó)軍人的故事是與自由相關(guān)的故事，是正義戰(zhàn)勝邪惡的故事，是懲惡揚(yáng)善的故事，是抵抗對(duì)民主與自由鎮(zhèn)壓的故事。我告訴各位，這世界存在太多的邪惡因素，我正在清理這個(gè)爛攤子，你們瞧著吧！

“今天，我們?cè)谙蛎绹?guó)軍人致敬的同時(shí)，也聯(lián)想到令美國(guó)人自豪的價(jià)值觀：我們愛(ài)國(guó)家、愛(ài)家人、愛(ài)自由，我們愛(ài)護(hù)佑我們的神。

“241年前，美國(guó)先父?jìng)冊(cè)诤炇稹丢?dú)立宣言》時(shí)寫(xiě)道：美國(guó)人將永遠(yuǎn)記得，人權(quán)神授，我們的自由來(lái)自于造物主，任何外力都無(wú)法奪走它們。

“這就是為什么我的政府要把權(quán)力從華盛頓，帶回給它原本的主人── 你們，美國(guó)人民。

“制造假新聞的媒體不斷想詆毀我們，但我們不會(huì)屈服，因?yàn)槿嗣窳私庹嫦唷＜傩侣劽襟w想阻止我們走進(jìn)白宮，但我當(dāng)選了美國(guó)總統(tǒng)，他們沒(méi)有。我們步步都贏了，他們一直在輸。

“我已經(jīng)為美國(guó)人在貿(mào)易、經(jīng)濟(jì)、最高法院、第二修正案、軍事、退役軍人服務(wù)和邊境等方方面面取得了前所未有的成績(jī)。而且，我們正在為警員和執(zhí)法者的工作提供全力的支持。” 川普在演講中，許多觀眾多次起立鼓掌，向他致意。

川普接著說(shuō)：“我們將保護(hù)美國(guó)人的生命安全、美國(guó)的領(lǐng)土主權(quán)。我們還將確保那些曾被政府忽視的美國(guó)人不會(huì)再被輕視。

“長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)，政客們將核心權(quán)力鎖定在華府為數(shù)不多的個(gè)別人手中，我看到這樣的事一遍遍重演。官僚者認(rèn)為，他們可以掌握你們的生活，控制你們的價(jià)值觀，告訴你該怎樣生活、該怎樣講話、到哪里做祈禱。然而我們知道，只有父母，而不是官僚機(jī)構(gòu)，才最了解如何養(yǎng)育好自己的孩子；只有人民才知道如何造就充滿(mǎn)活力的社會(huì)環(huán)境。

“我們也知道是家庭和教堂，而不是政府官員，才了解如何搭建一個(gè)充滿(mǎn)關(guān)愛(ài)的社區(qū)環(huán)境。“同時(shí)，最重要的是我們相信，美國(guó)人崇拜的不是政府，而是神。

“在美元紙幣上，也清楚地印有這幾個(gè)字‘我們信仰神’（In God We Trust）。

“神不僅賜予我們自由，還把許多英雄人物賜予我們，保衛(wèi)我們擁有的這份自由，其中之一的就是二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期的美國(guó)將軍巴頓。

“當(dāng)巴頓將軍在戰(zhàn)事中遇到無(wú)法逾越的艱險(xiǎn)時(shí)，他知道自己該做什么── 他去祈禱，求助神的力量和幫助。1944年12月就在著名的亞爾丁突圍戰(zhàn)打響前夕，巴頓遇到極為惡劣的風(fēng)雪天氣，使部隊(duì)的前進(jìn)計(jì)劃嚴(yán)重受阻。巴頓采取的行動(dòng)就是祈禱和向神求助。他將祈禱詞印制了數(shù)萬(wàn)份，發(fā)給每一位士兵，要求他們專(zhuān)心祈禱，求助神幫助他們擺脫惡劣天氣的困擾。（據(jù)史料記載，巴頓和士兵的祈禱帶來(lái)了奇跡。隔天，當(dāng)?shù)氐臍夂蜣D(zhuǎn)晴，風(fēng)雪停止，被困多日的巴頓部隊(duì)得以繼續(xù)前進(jìn)，最終抵達(dá)目的地。）

川普說(shuō)：“在場(chǎng)的觀眾中就有參加過(guò)這次戰(zhàn)役的二戰(zhàn)老兵米勒（Harry F Miller）。明天他將迎來(lái)自己的89歲生日。讓我們祝福他，向他致敬。

“我的政府將永遠(yuǎn)保護(hù)美國(guó)人的信仰自由。如果在足球賽事前，人們想祈禱，他們就可以做祈禱。我們還希望孩子們懂得，有神在祝福他們。我們不希望看到政府官員說(shuō)，宗教領(lǐng)袖或教會(huì)成員不能公開(kāi)地自由宣講（政治話題），因?yàn)樗麄円矒碛惺堋稇椃ā繁Ｗo(hù)的言論自由。”

川普在最后說(shuō)：“各位，我不會(huì)讓你們失望！謝謝你們！祝你們獨(dú)立日假期快樂(lè)！神保佑你們，保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)！”
