—对美国总统奥巴马就职演说英语文体学分析
Speech is an art form of verbal expression, developing as the human being and social. The American presidential candidate’s campaign speech is an important way to promote his political views to win the public support. Hundred years, from George Washington to George Bush, the presidents show their wishes and dreams through the inauguration speech. The words are usually made by a number of most famous and talented writers.The speech is filled with fancy sentences and fragment of a beauty appreciation. Obama's inauguration speech drew all attention in the world .This paper tries to analyze Obama's inauguration speech in the level of English stylistic. By the use of analysis methods of English stylistic, you can help the audience understand more of this speech.
1. Words
Compare to daily conversations, the public speech expression’s choice is more precise. There are 2043 words in Obama's inauguration speech. Many emotional words are used to achieve the desired results. Speech language using is decided by its particular context, with both oral and written language characters. Therefore, it is found this inauguration
speech is full of spoken words, mostly simple, in order to let the whole country to understand. (Eg: I stand here today humbled by the task before us.) In the English public speech, we need the attribution of abstract when talk about concepts and quality. In the meantime, the uses of abstract and complicated word are more precise and serious. In this speech paper, they use the abstract words such as enormity, spirit, patriotism to show the political color of the Obama’s politic views.
2. The sentence features
In informal speech, the speaker use short sentences to enhance the speaker’s power of persuasion. There are 2043 words or 107 sentences in the Obama’s speech. The average sentences length is 19.1 words per sentence, which is more than the average English sentences length 17.6 words per sentence.In this official inauguration speech, there are a variety of the lengths of sentences, with the maximum sentence up to 49 words, but if coming along with appropriate pause, a long sentence is not difficult to understand. On the contrary, the shortest sentence is “Y es, we can!”. And it gains the most powerful audience response and becomes one of the most popular slogans. Using appropriate sentence length interchangeably in the speech can arouse audience's feeling. In addition, Obama chooses different types of sentences, such as statements, imperative clauses and rhetorical questions, etc. Obama uses a strong
imperative clause “This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time” to show a tough will.Obama repeatedly used "let us" guiding imperative clauses. Effective usages of imperative clauses in a short time can cheer up the audience's feelings to support the speaker's policies. In contrast, a question sentence is few in his speech, but if with felicitous usages, it will bring tremendous effects. For examples,“If…, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?”He is piloting the audiences to get his inspiration while thinking of these two questions.
3.Rhetorical usage
(1) Parallel construction
In the speech language, the parallel construction is a common rhetoric usage (formed by a group of similar structures of the words, phrases and sentences). The use of this structure can enhance audience's attention and impression. It can make the speech more accurate ,contagious.
For example:
1) It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.
2) …It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice…
(2) Phonetic figures of speech
A phonetic figure of speech is a kind of rhetorical usage based on pronounces of the words. In the paragraph, it appears some words with the same consonant to make the speech more convincible.
For example:
1) This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
2) It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
(3)Metaphor
Metaphor is the concept of understanding one thing in terms of another.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word.
1)I would not be standing here without the unyielding support of my
best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of my family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.
In this sentence, Obama says his wife is like the cornerstone of his family to indicate his wife’s important role in his family.
2)…And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns
as bright…
In this sentence, Obama uses lighthouse to indicate the future of American is bright.
4. Conclusion
Obama's inauguration speech has fully demonstrated the usage of combination of public speaking and writing styles with a highly contagious and conviction. We students can learn a lot from reading and anglicizing this kind of classical article to make our writing and feeling of English culture better.

2013年奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文版本)
英文版 MR. OBAMA: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of H appiness.” Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of,

美国总统奥巴马开学演讲西方修辞学浅析
美国总统奥巴马开学演讲西方修辞学浅析 李荣义 （福建农林大学蜂学学院2009级学号：090723067） 【摘要】肯尼斯·伯克认为任何语篇都包含着人类动机。人类的行为是在动机驱使 下发生的。语言作为人类的一种行为，可以成为动机的载体。西方修辞学的发展史表明，演讲是修辞的最早来源，两者关系密切。古典修辞学理论认为，修辞学就是研究 演说的技巧。修辞和演讲密不可分，演讲是一门劝说的艺术。演讲者要得到劝说目的 就需要应用各种修辞表达技巧。而通过对语言的研究，可以发现其中隐藏的动机。本 文试图通过奥巴马总统的开学演讲，浅析其中西方修辞的应用，讨论修辞应用对劝说 效果的影响。 【关键词】奥巴马演讲受众修辞 一、戏剧五要素分析 肯尼斯·伯克的戏剧五位一体理论作为发现动机工具，其中的五个因素：行动、场景、执事者、工具、和目的。伯克是这样阐述的：任何有关动机的完整阐述都应该回 答这样五个问题：发生了什么(行动)，在什么时候或哪里发生的(场景)，行动实施者是谁(执事者)，怎么发生的(工具)，以及为什么(目的)。在本文研究材料中五要素表现为：美国刚上任总统奥巴马（执事者）在和弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿市的韦克菲尔德高中（场景），通过麦克风以对现场听众，以及电台及电视台的转播（工具）面对全美国学生 及教育者，学生家长等演讲（行动），强调学习的重要性并希望通过演讲使学生重视 并认真学习（目的）。这五个要素不是孤立存在的，它们可以以不同的方式组合。按 照伯克的观点，戏剧五要素的不同组合可形成十对关系比场景-行为、场景-执行者、场景-工具、场景-目的、行为-目的、行为-执行者、行为-工具、执行者-目的、执行者-工具、工具-目的，颠倒每-对关系比的顺序可创设另外十对关系比。演讲是由演讲者的动机驱使而发生的行为，动机会决定五个元素在其中的排列组合。因此，了解动机可以 对演讲的理解起到帮助作用。相比竞选就职等政治色彩演说，开学演讲的动机只需要 博得受众的认同并实践，而受众的认同及付诸行动并不需要放弃一放选择另一平行的 选择，如投选票。开学演讲中，没有竞争对手，演讲动机即说服受众承认学习的重要 性并采取行动以正确的态度认真学习。因此演讲动机并不需要顶着另一方同等竞争备 选项的挑战。 二、开学演讲受众分析 修辞的首要问题便是对受众的把握。受众应该成为整个修辞过程的中心。演讲者 必须对受众有清晰的认识，了解受众心理，及时调整演讲内容、选定语法结构、框定
奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文)
My fellow citizens: 各位同胞： I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. 今天我站在这里，为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑，对各位的信任心怀感激，对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务，也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。 Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. 四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言，这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表，或是在乌云密布，时局动荡之时。在艰困的时候，美国能箕裘相继，不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景，也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心，也忠于创建我国的法统。 So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 因此，美国才能承继下来。因此，这一代美国人必须承继下去。 That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. 现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。我们的经济元气大伤，是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果，也是大众未能做出艰难的选择，为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。许多人失去房子，丢了工作，生意垮了。我们的医疗照护太昂贵，学校教育辜负了许多人。每天都有更多证据显示，我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌，威胁我们的星球。 These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. 这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。比较无法测量但同样深沉的，是举国信心尽失—持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退，也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。 Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. 今天我要告诉各位，我们面临的挑战是真的，挑战非常严重，且不在少数。它们不是可以轻易，或在短时间内解决。但是，美国要了解，这些挑战会被解决。 On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

奥巴马就职演讲的感想
奥巴马就职演讲的感想 那天在政治课上看了美国首位有色人种总统奥巴马就职演讲的视频，看到如此大的阵容和那么多民众的支持都让我为之一震。他的演讲中，有几点对我来说是印象比较深刻的： 1.虽然我并不了解美国的政治和党派的竞争。但是可以看出他对总统的获选是怀着一颗感恩的心，无论是感谢那些曾选过他的人、感谢自己的家人、感谢他的竞争对手、感谢那些下层的年轻工作者、感谢所有普普通通的民众，还是他最后提及的世纪老人。（Ann Nixon Cooper） 2.美国大国的代言人。其实无论是谁当选任何人都不会错过宣传美国世界大国的地位。这是必然的，所以一开始就显示了这股强大的力量。（If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.）还有讲到美国一直以来的治国精神时也暗中宣扬其世界警察的地位。（To those who would tear this world down we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.） 3.如果前半部分是感谢或感性部分，后半部分就涉及到其国家的民主与变革。我认为这个部分演讲是挺好的，但也有一半的感觉是作秀。新官上任三把火嘛，肯定是满怀激情的。（America I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you we as a people will get there.）其中以一个106岁的老人讲述美国一个世纪的变化，并讲到这些变化是一种机遇。（For that is the true genius of America that America can change. Our union can be perfected）最后更是以7个Yes we can来传达其好言壮志。其实他着重讲到变化，讲到许多的不可能变成可能，或许也是暗示美国“黑人总统”成为可能的变化也将是一种机遇。 4.现场出现了几个高潮部分。开场是肯定的。其次是感谢他的夫人，这一段写得很好，相信这个总统夫人听了自豪之余还是很感动的。（I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama）.最后就是那几个“Yes we can”掀起一阵高潮。 也许这种获奖演讲无非就是一种拉票获取民心的一种形式，包含很多美国情感，但是那种激情和感恩的心还是必须的，也是各国领导人都应该具备的。
