(2008-08-30 18:50:53)

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．

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

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！”

HELP：

Creed： n.信條

Brotherhood : n.手足情意，兄弟關系

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.”

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！”

Grievous: adj.令人憂傷的

Buoyancy: n.浮性 浮力 輕快

Entitled： adj.有資格的五.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

citizen: n.市民,公民

sacrifice: n./ v.犧牲,獻身

conscience: n.良心,道德心

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

unreasoning: adj.喪失理智的

unjustified: adj.毫無根據的

frankness: n.率直,坦白

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

in this symposium:此刻

At this time goal: n.目的,目標

standstill: n.停止

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。

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 [英語演講：經典片段節選(共2篇)] 譯文：

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！

possession: n.財產

torturing : adj.使痛苦的

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。

stimulation: n.激勵，刺激

evanescent: adj.漸漸消失的，易消散的

profit： vi.得益，利用

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.”

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！”

Grievous: adj.令人憂傷的

Buoyancy: n.浮性 浮力 輕快

Entitled： adj.有資格的

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 o

f 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。

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：

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。

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！”

第四篇：英語演講撒切爾夫人英國國會辯論經典片段(雙語)

撒切爾夫人英國國會辯論經典片段（雙語）

【名人簡介】

瑪格麗特·希爾達·撒切爾，英國右翼政治家，第49任英國首相，1979年-1990年在任，她是至今為止英國唯一一位女首相，也是自19世紀初利物浦伯爵以來連任時間最長的英國首相。她的政治哲學與政策主張被通稱為“撒切爾主義”，在任首相期間，對英國的經濟、社會與文化面貌作出了既深且廣的改變。在擔任首相前后高姿態地反對共產主義，而被前蘇聯媒體戲稱為“鐵娘子”，這個綽號甚至已成為了她的主要標志。

1970年，進入愛德華·希思內閣擔任教育及科學大臣。1975年的出任保守黨黨魁，1979年率領保守黨重奪政權，展開保守黨長達18年執政。其領導保守黨在1979年、1983年和1987年三次大選中接連勝出，僅次于哈羅德·威爾遜。1990年未能擊敗黨內對手邁克爾·赫爾塞廷，宣布辭職，其后她所屬意的候選人財政大臣約翰·梅杰參選并最終獲勝，11月28日正式離任，結束長達11年半的執政。1990年下臺后，繼任的保守黨約翰·梅杰政府以及工黨托尼·布萊爾政府，依然沿行了她所推行的經濟變革，該政策方向持續到2008年世界金融危機爆發。

2013年4月8日，撒切爾夫人因中風病逝，終年87歲，骨灰被安葬在切爾西皇家醫院墓地、亡夫丹尼斯的墳墓旁邊。

撒切爾夫人曾四次訪問中國，并于1984年在北京代表聯合王國和時任國務院總理的趙紫陽簽署了《中英關于香港問題的聯合聲明》。為香港回歸中國奠定了堅實的政治基礎。（以上來自百度百科）

下面來看看她在英國國會辯論經典片段吧~

【雙語文稿】

On economic and monetary union, I stressed that we would be ready to move beyond thepresent position to the creation of a European monetary fund and a common communitycurrency which we have called a hard ECU.But we would not be prepared to agree to set a datefor starting the next stage of economic and monetary union before there is any agreement onwhat that stage should comprise.And I again emphasised that we would not be prepared tohave a single currency imposed upon us, nor to surrender the use of the pound sterling as ourcurrency.關于經濟和貨幣聯盟，我強調過我們需要做好準備，跨越目前的處境，來建立一個歐洲貨幣基金和共同的通用貨幣，也就是我們所說的歐洲貨幣單位。但在開始為下一階段的經濟和貨幣聯盟登上舞臺做好準備之前，我們并不會為這個協議的實現設定一個日期。我再次強調，我們不愿被逼使用統一貨幣，也不會屈服于把英鎊作為我們的使用貨幣的做法。

It is our purpose to retain the power and influence of this House, and not to denude it of manyof the powers.I wonder what the right honourable gentleman's policy is, in view of some of thethings he said.Would he have agreed to a commitment to extend the Community's powers toother supplementary sectors of economic integrations without having any definition of what theyare? Would he? Because you would've thought he would from what he said.One of them wasthat the Commission wants to extend its powers and competence into the area of health.Wesaid no.We weren't going to agree to those since on what he says, he sounded as if he would,for the sake of agreeing, for the sake of being little sir echo, and saying, “Me too.” 我們的目的就是保留政府的權利以及影響，而不是剝奪他們的權利。鑒于剛剛你所說的事情，這位正直尊貴的紳士，我想知道你的政策是什么？在沒有任何明確定義的情況下，他會同意擴大聯盟的權力來補充其他行業沒有的經濟融合嗎？他會嗎？你們會認為他會說到做到。其中之一是，歐盟委員會希望將權力和能力擴展至醫療健康領域。我們不贊成，我們并不打算同意他所說的一切，他聽起來似乎是會這樣做，僅僅是為了一種妥協而已，或者是一種紳士的態度，所以他會說 “我也會。”

Would the he have agreed to extending qualified majority of voting within the Council, todelegating implementing powers to the Commission, to a common security policy, all without anyattempt to define or limit them? The answer is yes.He hasn't got a clue about the definition ofsome of the things he is saying, let alone securing a definition of others.在沒有任何限制和定義的情況下，他會同意理事會擴大合格的多數投票來將權力委托給委員會或制定一個常見的安全政策，嗎？答案是肯定的。他還搞不清楚的他所定義的一些事情，更別提關于其他的定義了。

Yes, the Commission does want to increase its powers.Yes, it is a non-elected body and I donot want the Commission to increase its powers against its House.So of course we are differing.Of course the chairman or the president of the Commission, Mr.Delors, said at a pressconference the other day that he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body ofthe Community, he wanted the Commission to be the executive and he wanted the Council ofMinisters to be the Senate.No.No.No.的確，委員會并不想要增加它的權利。是的，這是一個非選舉產生的主體，我并不希望委員會增加權利來對抗政府。所以我們當然在改變。Delors先生作為委員會的主席或總統，在新聞發布會上說有一天他希望歐洲議會是一個民主機構，他希望委員會執行力能更強，他希望內閣會議由參議院指出，但這些都沒能實現。

Or, or perhaps the Labour Party would give all those things up easily.Perhaps they would agreeto a single currency to total abolition of the pound sterling.Perhaps being totally incompetent withmonetary matters, they'd be only too delighted to hand over the full responsibility as they did tothe IMF, to a central bank.The fact is, they have no competence on money, no competenceon the economy, so, yes, the right honourable gentleman would be glad to hand it all over.Andwhat is the point in trying to get elected to Parliament only to hand over your sterling and tohand over the powers of this House to Europe? 也許工黨會將所有這些事情變得很容易。也許他們會同意用一個單一貨幣來廢除英鎊。也許這完全算不上是貨幣問題，他們會非常高興地將所有責任轉交給中央銀行。事實是，他們在貨幣政策上無所作為，在經濟發展上同樣一事無成，所以這位正直尊貴的紳士很愿意完全交出責任。那么你們在議會中獲選，僅僅是為了將手中的金錢和權利移交給歐洲政府嗎？

Norman Tebbit：My right honourable friend not agree that the mark of a single currency is thatall other currencies must be extinguished.And not nearly extinguished, but that the capacity ofother institutions to issue currency has to be extinguished.And that in the case of the UnitedKingdom, would involve this parliament binding its successors in a way which we have hithertoregarded as unconstitutional.Norman Tebbit: 我親愛的朋友并不認為單一貨幣是其他貨幣必須消失的標志。或者并不是消失，而是其他部門對金錢的控制力應該消除。在英國的情況來說，應該讓議會將其繼承者和我們認為的非憲法行為結合起來。

This government has no intention of abolishing the pound sterling.If the hard ECU evolved intomuch much greater use, that would be a decision for future parliaments and future generations.It would be a decision which could only be taken once, and a decision which should not beapproached in this atmosphere, but only after the greatest possible consideration.I believe bothParliament and sterling have served our country and the rest of the world very well.I believe weare more stable and more influential with it, I believe it is an expression of sovereignty.ThisGovernment believe in the pound sterling.政府并不打算廢除英鎊。如果歐元的能力越來越強大，也許該由未來的議會和下一代來做出決定。這個決定只能做一次，但并不是現在，需要在進行過非常謹慎的思考之后。我相信議會和英鎊為我們的國家以及其他國家服務得非常好。政府相信英鎊。Dr.David Owen: Is it not perfectly clear that what was being attempted at Rome was a bounceand a bounce that led only one way, and that was to a single federal united states of Europe?And is it not vital that in this House, across party lines, it is possible for a prime minister to goand make it clear, if necessary, that Britain is prepared to stand alone? We don's relish it, butthat if necessary, if we are faced by the imposition, by treaty of an obligation to a singlecurrency and a situation which would prevent enlargement to Poland, Hungary andCzechoslovakia, Britain would be entitled and right to use the veto? Dr.David Owen：我們現在還不是很清楚，羅馬經濟是否在反彈，經濟反彈又會給這個聯邦制的歐洲合眾國造成怎樣的影響？并不是至關重要的，在這政府里，跨越黨派界線，就有可能靠一個首相去弄清楚，如果有必要，英國正在準備孤軍奮戰？我們不喜歡它，但是，如果有必要，如果我們面臨的實施，通過條約的義務統一的貨幣和情況來防止歐盟東擴至波蘭、匈牙利和捷克斯洛伐克，英國將擁有和有權使用否決權嗎？

Mr.Ron Leighton: There is no majority in the House for EMU, but is the Prime Minister awarethat I attended a conference in Italy last year at which an Italian Minister spoke to me aboutEMU? I said, “What if Mrs.Thatcher opposes it?” And ungallantly, he laughed loud and he said, “We have met Mrs.Thatcher many times-she squawks and makes a noise at the beginningbut always comes round and gives way in the end.” Now what assurances and guarantees canseek of this House today that she will not give way on this issue, as she did give way on theMadrid condition about British inflation before joining the ERM? Mr.Ron Leighton：支持貨幣不統一化的占多數，但是部長你還記得去年我在意大利參加會議時，意大利部長和我說的這件事嗎？我當時說；“如果撒切爾夫人反對的話怎么辦？”他笑的很大聲，然后說，“我們見過撒切爾夫人很多次了，她總是在一開始意見很多，反對不休，但最終會妥協。”在這種情況下，什么樣的擔保和保證能夠確保她一開始的反對不會化為最終的妥協呢？尤其是她曾在英國通貨膨脹之后妥協于馬德里條約加入了匯率機制。

That is what they said, Mr Speaker, when I was negotiating for a better budget deal for Britain.Twice, they and the people in the Commission and our people in the Commission and we had thepresidency of the Commission, advised me to give way.They found out differently.這是他們說的，當我曾為了英國進行更好的財務溝通時，他們以及委員會的人以及我們的人溝通之后，勸我還是妥協。但他們現在的說法完全不一樣。

Mr.Tony Favell: Mr Speaker, next Wednesday, the doors of this Chamber will be closed to BlackRod as a symbol of the independence of this House.What would be the effect on theindependence of this House and the nation which elects it if the power to veto proposalsaffecting social affairs, the environment and taxation were to be removed? Mr.Tony Favell：下周三，這個房間的門將會對黑人關閉，作為政府獨立的象征。那么政府的獨立會有什么樣的效果？投反對票的國家呢？受到影響的社會事件，環境以及稅率會變嗎？

Mr Speaker, I hope that, when the next election comes, people who want to come to this Housewill come to uphold its powers and its responsibilities, and not to denude the House of them.Wehave surrendered some of them to the Community.In my view we have surrendered enough.我希望，當下一屆選舉到來之時，人們想要進入政府的能夠擔當好自己的權利和責任，而不是屈服于政府中的其他人。我們已經向某些人妥協了，我認為已經足夠了。

Mr.Tony Benn: And then is the Prime Minister aware that what we are really discussing is notmatter of economic management, but the whole future of the relation between this country andEurope? Are the British people when they vote in a general election to be able to change thepolicies of the government that has previously veto? And it is already a fact, as the Houseknows full well, that whatever Government is in power, our agricultural policy is now controlledfrom Brussels, our trade policy is controlled from Brussels and our industrial policy is controlledfrom Brussels and if we go into EMU, our financial policy will be controlled.It is a democraticargument, not a nationalistic argument.But now as they say this is the Prime Minister and it’d bethe member of the Government who took us into the EC without consulting the British people,having been the Prime Minister of the Government who agreed to the Single European Actwithout consulting the British people, having now agreed to the ERM without consulting the Britishpeople.We find it hard to believe that she is really intent on preserving democracy rather thangaining some political advantage from waving some national argument in the eve of a generalelection.That is why we do not trust her own judgment on the matter.Mr.Tony Benn：部長意識到我們實際上討論的并不是經濟的管理問題，而是我們國家和歐洲未來關系的走向問題。英國人民在大選當中投票能夠改變政府先前的投票結果嗎？這已是一個事實，政府心里也很清楚，無論政府有著什么樣的權利，我們的農業政策是掌控在布魯塞爾手里，我們的貿易政策，工業政策也是如此。如果我們加入統一匯率機制，我們的金融政策也會被控制。這是一個共和的爭辯，并不是一個國家的爭辯。但是他們說這是部長，政府的一員使英國人在不知情的情況下加入了歐盟，那么也可以在英國人不知情的情況下加入統一的貨幣機制。我們覺得很難去相信她真正的目的保留共和而不是在大選前夕從一些國家辯論中獲得更多的政治優勢。這也是為什么我們不相信她在這件事上將會做出合理決斷的原因。

Mr Speaker, I think that I would put it just a little bit differently from the right honorableGentleman, although I recognise some of the force of some of the points that he is making.Ithink when the Delors proposals for EMU came out, the economic and monetary union, it wassaid immediately by my right hon.Friend, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer that this was notreally about monetary policy at all.It is really about a back door to a federal Europe, a federalEurope taking many many democratic powers away from democratically elected bodies to non-elected ones.I believe fervently that that is true, which is why I will have nothing to do with theirdefinition of economic and monetary union.我認為想對那位紳士提出一點點不同的意見，盡管我在某種程度上承認他說的話。我認為Delors對統一貨幣機制的建議來自于經濟和貨幣協會。朋友們，這一切和貨幣政策毫無相關。這實際上是對聯邦歐盟開后門的表現，聯邦的歐盟用很多共和的手段來使得有選舉機制的國家朝著無選舉機制發展。這是我的想法。這也是我為什么認為他們的經濟和貨幣聯盟定義毫無意義的原因。

第五篇：英語演講

Good morning , ladies and Gentlemen

Today it is my great honor to be here and make a speech about my view on computer games.I would like to begin with a story.It is about my elder cousin.He is 24 now.What a great and beautiful age ,full of hope, dream , and success.But all these beautiful things are so far away him , a murderer who has been kept him in prison for two years.He used to be a top student in senior high school.But since he fell in love with computer gemes，he spent all of his time sitting in front of the screen , crazily playing those computer games day and night.As a result , his school records turned out to be a mess.What’s more , one day he had a quarrel with his partner.My cousin grabbed an cap and hit heavily on his partner’head.That was the tragedy,for both of them.So my view is strong , definite , and clear.Down with computer games!

Nowadays children are spending far too much time on computer games.They don’t realize that computer games are in fact nothing but a great waste of time , money and energy.They don’t realize how harmful the computer games are to their physical and mental growth.First of all ,many children are so much appeal to computer games that they even forget food and sleep.It is very bad for their phsical health.For example , children desert the football ground as they all sit at home around the computer plauing the games which are noisy , and will damage their eyes and ears.As a result , children cannot be physically fit and strong.Secondly , computer games distract children’s attention form their studies.They finish their homework in a hurry , or even copy their classmates’, in order to squeeze time to play games.Thirdy ,some computer games are filled with violence and sex.Children are too young to tell right from wrong.They may blindly imitate the bad behavior.Computer gamesare realy extremely harmful to their mental growth.Therefore ,down with computer games!They are just fantasy.Young people should be encouraged to do more meaningful and museums.They should be encouraged to set a real goal in life and pursue their great ideals All in all , down with computer games!.
