布什在911事件后的演讲
Good evening.
晚上好，
Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
今天，我们的同胞、我们的生活及我们珍视的自由受到了恐怖主义分子的蓄意攻击。许多被劫持的乘客、正在办公的工作人员都不幸遇难，他们可能是：秘书文员、商人、妇女、军方或联邦政府工作人员、为人父母、你们的亲朋好友或邻居。数千人在恐怖分子的卑劣和罪恶行径下突然间失掉了宝贵的生命。
The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong.
面对飞机撞毁、熊熊大火、楼房倒塌等图片，我们无法相信眼前的惨状，感到无比的悲哀和愤怒。恐怖分子的大屠戮的行为旨在将我们的国家引向混乱和倒退。但他们的阴谋不会得逞，我们的国家依然强大。
A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
伟大的美国人民已被动员起来保卫自己的国家。恐怖主义分子的袭击可以震撼我们的建筑，但他们无法动摇我们牢固的国家基础。这些行径可以粉碎钢铁，但它们无法挫伤美国人民捍卫国家的决心。
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and
opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
美国之所以成为攻击的目标，是因为我们的自由和机遇之灯塔是世界上最明亮、最耀眼的。没有人能阻止这种自由之光。
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
今天，我们见识了人性中最肮脏的灵魂，而我们以美国人的善良回应罪恶，我们的救援人员表现出了大无畏精神、人们纷纷为陌生人及邻里贡献鲜血及爱心。
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful①, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams ②are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.
在首次遭受袭击后，我下令实施了政府紧急救援计划。我们的强大的军队随时准备投入战斗。紧急行动小组正在纽约市和华府协助地方力量实施求援。
Our first priority is ③to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
我们的第一要务是抢救受伤人员，并保护国内及全世界的美国人不再受到伤害。
The functions of our government ④continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington, which had to be evacuated today, are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions⑤ remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.
美国政府的政务仍在正常进行，今天被迫撤出华府的联邦各部门中的重要机构今晚已恢复办公，所有部门均将于明天恢复办公。政府的经济机构仍强大有力，美国各经济部门也将正常办公。
The search is under way for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who
committed these acts and those who harbor them.
调查此次邪恶事件元凶的工作正在进行。我已下令美国所有的情报机构和警察机构全力找出肇事元凶，并将其绳之以法。胆敢包庇肇事恐怖分子的人也会被我们视为恐怖分子。
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
我向内阁中与我一道强烈声讨此次恐怖事件的成员表示感谢，也代表美国人民向表示哀悼并给予我们帮助的其他国家的领导人表示感谢。
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me.'
美国、我们的盟国与友邦和全世界所有热爱和平的人将并肩战斗，与恐怖主义活动作斗争。今晚，我请求你们与我一道为在事件中受到伤害的人祈祷、为那些受伤的儿童祈祷、为那些安全感被打破的人祈祷。我祈祷他们能得到神的安抚，正如世代流传的圣经所书，“尽管我行走在死亡的阴影之谷中，但我并不惧怕邪恶，因你与我同在。”
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
今天是所有美国人团结起来寻求正义与和平的日子。过去，美国击败了自己的敌人，今天的美国人也会战胜自己的敌人。每一个美国人都不会忘记今天，但我们将奋力向前、捍卫自由、捍卫世界上一切美好与正义的事物。

奥巴马在上海与中国青年对话会的演讲（中英对照）文本Nong hao! Good afternoon. It is a great honor for me to be here in Shanghai, and to have this opportunity to speak with all of you. I'd like to thank Fudan University's President Yang for his hospitality and his gracious welcome. I'd also like to thank our outstanding Ambassador, Jon Huntsman, who exemplifies the deep ties and respect between our nations. I don't know what he said, but I hope it was good. (Laughter.) 侬好(上海话)！诸位下午好。我感到很荣幸能够有机会到上海跟你们交谈，我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长，感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。我还想感谢我们出色的大使洪博培，他是我们两国间深厚的纽带。我不知道他刚才说什么，但是希望他说得很好。 What I'd like to do is to make some opening remarks, and then what I'm really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we've received questions online, which will be asked by some of the students who are here in the audience, as well as by Ambassador Huntsman. And I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English, but I am looking forward to this chance to have a dialogue. 我今天准备这样，先做一个开场白，我真正希望做的是回答在座的问题，不但回答在座的学生问题，同时还可以从网上得到一些问题，由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提问。很抱歉，我的中文远不如你们的英文，所以我期待和你们的对话。 This is my first time traveling to China, and I'm excited to see this majestic country. Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world -- the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity. And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past. Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future. 这是我首次访问中国，我看到你们博大的国家，感到很兴奋。在上海这里，我们看到了瞩目的增长，高耸的塔楼，繁忙的街道，还有企业家的精神。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象，让我感到赞叹。同时我也急切的要看到向我们展现中国古老的古迹，明天和后天我要到北京去看雄伟壮丽的故宫和令人叹为观止的长城，这个国度既有丰富的历史，又有对未来憧憬的信念。
美国第42任总统克林顿告别演说中文
美国第42任总统克林顿告别演说中英文(全文) 时间：2001年1月18日地点：白宫我来说两句 同胞们，今晚是我作为你们的总统，在白宫总统办公室向你们做最后一次演说。 我深深地感谢你们给了我两次机会和荣誉，为你们服务和工作，并同你们一道为我们进入21世纪做准备。 在此，我要感谢戈尔副总统，我的内阁部长们以及所有和我一同走过过去8年的同仁们。 这是一个极具变革的年代，你们为新的挑战做好了准备。是你们使我们的社会更强大，我们的家庭更健康和安全，我们的人民更富裕。 同胞们，我们已迈进全球信息化的时代，这是美国复兴的伟大时代。 作为总统，我所做的每一个决定，每一个行政命令，提议和签署的每一项法令，都在努力为美国人民提供工具和创造条件，去实现美国人民梦想的未来----一个美好的社会，繁荣的经济，清洁的环境，一个更自由、更安全、更繁荣的世界。
凭借着我们永恒的价值，我不断前进。机会属于所有的美国公民；责任源自全体美国人民；所有美国人民组成了一个大家庭。我一直在为寻求一个更小、更现代化、更有效率、面对新时代的挑战充满创意和思想、永远把人民的利益放在第一位、永远面向未来的新型的美国政府而努力。 我们一同工作，使美国变得更加美好。我们的经济正在打破一个又一个的记录。我们已创造了2200万个新的工作岗位，现在的失业率是30年来最低的，购房率达到一个空前的高度，经济增长的持续时间是历史上最长的。 我们的家庭、我们的社会变得更加强大。3500万美国人曾经享受联邦休假，800万人获得社会保障，犯罪率是25年来最低的，1000多万美国人享受更多的大学贷款，更多的人接受大学教育。我们的学校也在改善。更高的办学水平、更大的责任感和更多的投资使得我们的学生取得更好的考试和毕业成绩。 目前，已有300多万美国儿童在享受着医疗保险，700多万美国人已经脱离了贫困线。人们的收入在大幅度提高。我国的空气和水源更洁净，食品和饮用水更安全。宝贵的土地资源得到了近百年来前所未有的保护。
“911事件”对美国长短期经济的影响
“911事件”对美国长短期经济的影响 摘要：由于美国市场经济完善、经济基础好，又有科技创新的领先地位，地位，长期中“911事件”不会对美国经济有多大的影响，更谈不上摧毁美国经济。从短期来看，这次事件会加剧经济的衰退，而且会推迟经济周期复苏的时间，这个短期大概有2—3年之，同时，在短期内，由于股市受冲击、民航和保险业损失惨重，以及人们悲观心理，会给经济带来不利影响。 关键词：911；美国；长期经济；短期经济 0引言 “911事件”对美国的冲击是全方位的，从政治，军事，经济等多方面产生了巨大的影响。下面本文就从经济中的“911事件”对美国长短期经济的影响的方面进行分析。希望能为我国经济发展发生些许启示。 1“9·11”事件之前美国经济的状况和原因 1.1“9·11”事件之前美国经济的状况 在此之前，美国经济已处于周期扩张的穷弩之末阶段，减速已持续了一年。美国GDP 增长率从2000年第2季度的5.7%降到第3、4季度的1.3%和1.9%，今年第1、2季度进一步降到1.3%和0.3%。工业生产指数从去年9月的149到今年8月的141.8。美联储8月发表的报告称，制造业的不景气已逐渐波及其他部门。失业问题急剧恶化，全美失业率从去年10月的3.9%升至今年8月的4.9%；今年1－8月，美国企业裁员约100万人，“9·11”后航空公司及相关部门又立即宣布裁员约20万。 1.2经济衰退的原因 美国经济减速主要是由政策性和周期性因素造成的：首先，面对当时的通胀压力，美联储从1999年6月至2000年5月间6次加息，紧缩的货币政策影响金融市场和对利率敏感的耐用消费品等部门的生产；其次，2000年油价比1998年最低点上升3倍，使企业和个人多支付相当于GDP1.5%的费用；再次，股市泡沫破灭，其中纳指暴跌近70%，导致"财富效应"逆转。据估计，在1995－1999年，股市升值使家庭每年消费开支增加额相当于GDP的0.5%－1.25%，而2000年以来股市下跌使家庭消费开支减少，导致GDP减少1%以上；第四，近几年企业对信息技术（IT）等产业的过度投资造成这些部门的生产过剩，存货积压。据统计，去年第4季度和今年第1季度存货调整使GDP分别减少0.5和3个百分点。 2“911事件”对美国长期经济的影响 2.1综述 美国市场经济完善、经济基础好，又有科技创新的领先地位，长期中“911事件”不会对美国有太大的影响，更不会摧毁美国经济。 2.2分析 长期中经济的潜在GDP由一国的制度、资源和技术进步所决定的。从长期来看，美国资源和技术进步稳定增加，市场机制的作用是完善的，通过价格调节潜在GDP与实际GDP相等，即产量出于自然失业率，经济能实现充分就业，失业率是自然失业率。长期的供给线不变。美国经济能够复苏，911事件就如同许多其它突发事件一样，在美国经济长期来看，掀不起大风大浪。 2.3补充 此外还有三点补充一下：首先，保险业、航空业、旅游业等行业受影响较大，负面影响消除时间较长，且这些都是第三产业，对美国经济有一定的影响，不过美国可以通过雄厚的经济基础以及先进的技术弥补；其次，“911事件对美国人的信心有相当大的冲击”，认为

奥巴马告别演讲稿中文翻译
奥巴马告别演讲稿中文翻译 回家的感觉真好！ 在过去几个星期里，我和米歇尔收到了各种美好的祝愿，我们非常感动，感谢我的同胞们对我的支持。今晚我仍然要向你们表达我的感谢，是你们，身处各地，各个场所的每一位美国人让我保持真诚，是你们给了我灵感，并一直激励着我前进。我每天都在向你们学习，是你们让我成为一个更好的总统，成为一个更优秀的人。 我第一次来到芝加哥还是20岁出头的时候，当时我还处在找寻自我的阶段，还在为自己的生活寻找方向。就在离这不远的一个社区，我开始参与教会团体工作。在这些街区，我看到了信仰的力量，看到了劳动人民面对困境和失意时那种安静的尊严。就是在这里，我了解到只有普通民众都参与进来，变革才会发生，只有我们的力量联合起来，社会才会进步。 现在八年时间过去了，我仍然坚信这一点。我相信，这不只是我自己的一个信念，也是我们整个美国思想的核心所在——对自治进行大胆地尝试。 我们的信念一直是，生来平等，造物者赋予我们一些不可剥夺的权利，其中包括生命、自由以及对幸福的追求。这些权利，虽然人人都有，但并不能自动实现。我们，每一个公民，必须通过民主的工具，来创建一个更加完美的国家。 这是造物者赐予我们的礼物，我们拥有用汗水、辛劳和想象力去追逐我们的个人梦想和自由，同时也承担有团结一致，实现更高目标的义务。我们的国家并不是一开始就是完美的，但是我们已经展示出了改变的能力，并为每一位追随者提供更好的生活。 是的，我们的进步并不均衡，民主工作也一直很艰难，同时存在一定的争议，并且有时是血腥的。每向前迈两步，给人的感觉往往是还要往后退一步。但是美国在漫长的发展过程中，我们一直锐意进取，不断拓宽我们的信条，去拥抱所有，而不仅仅是其中一部分。 如果八年前，我告诉你们，美国将扭转大衰退，重振汽车行业，并创造出历史以来最多的就业机会；如果当时我告诉你们，我们将与古巴人民开启一个新的篇章，停止伊朗核武器计划并揪出9/11事件的幕后主使；如果当时我告诉你们，我们将实现婚姻平等，为另外2000万的同胞赢得健康保险的权利；如果当时我告诉你们这些，你们可能会说我的目标定得有点高。但是现在这就是我们所做到的，这就是你们所做到的。是你们促成了这些变化，你们让希望成真，也正是因为你们，现在的美国比我上任时变得更好、更强。 十天之内，世界将会见证我们民主的一个标志：通过自由选举，将总统的权利和平地移交给下一位总统。我向当选总统特朗普承诺，我会为他提供最平稳的过渡，就像布什总统之前为我做的一样。因为我们所有人都需要确保政府可以帮助我们应对目前面临的诸多挑战。 我们需要去应对这些挑战，因为我们仍然是地球上最富有、最强大也最受尊重的国家，我们的青年和发展动力，我们的多样性和开放程度，我们应对风险和进行革新的能力，都在向我们表明未来应该是属于我们的。 但是，只有我们保持民主这些潜力才会发挥出来。只有当我们的政治反映出人民的正直，

麦克阿瑟告别演讲稿：老兵不死（中英文） 麦克阿瑟告别演讲“老兵永不死（英文版） Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Distinguished Members of the Congress: I stand on this rostrum with a sense of deep humility and great pride -- humility in the wake of those great American architects of our history who have stood here before me; pride in the reflection that this forum of legislative debate represents human liberty in the purest form yet devised. Here are centered the hopes and aspirations and faith of the entire human race. I do not stand here as advocate for any partisan cause, for the issues are fundamental and reach quite beyond the realm of partisan consideration. They must be resolved on the highest plane of national interest if our course is to prove sound and our future protected. I trust, therefore, that you will do me the justice of receiving that which I have to say as solely expressing the considered viewpoint of a fellow American. I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country. The issues are global and so interlocked that to consider the problems of one sector, oblivious to those of another, is but to court disaster for the whole.

美国总统布什清华大学英语演讲稿
President Bush: Vice Presid ent Hu, thank you for your words of wel come. I am grateful for your hospitality, and honored by this reception at one of China's great universities. Tsinghua University was founded, with the support of America, to further the ties between our two nations. I know how important this place is to the Vice Presid ent, who earned his degree here and even more important, met his gracious wife Liu Yongqing here. I also thank the students here for this opportunity to meet with you, to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions. The standards and reputation of this university are known around the worl d, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. My wife Laura and I have two daughters in college, one at Yal e and the other at the University of Texas. We are proud of our daughters just like I am sure your parents are proud of you. My visit to China comes on an important anniversary. Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the worl d that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, and in a spirit of mutual respect. As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said to President Nixon, ``Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the worl d twenty-five years of no communication.''During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and comm erce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of our two countries have gradually learned more about each other. Once, America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization. Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor. And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the worl d as demonstrated by all the knowledge and potential right here in this room. China is on a rising path, and America wel comes the emergence of a strong, peaceful, and prosperous China. As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people d o not always see a cl ear picture of my country. This happens for many reasons, some of them of our own making. Our movies and tel evision shows often d o not portray the values of the real America I know. Our successful businesses show the strength of American commerce, but the community spirit and contributions of those businesses are not always as visible as their monetary success. Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others. My friend, the Ambassad or to China, tells me that some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans ``bullying the weak and repressing the poor.'' Another Chinese textbook, published just last

BUSH 911 SPEECH Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

布什离职演讲稿 各位公民： 八年来，我有幸担任你们的总统。新世纪的第一个十年是一段意义重大的时期——一个时间分界点。今晚，我怀着一颗感谢的心，请求一个最后的机会，就我们一起走过的旅程以及国家的未来，与诸位分享一些想法。 五天后，世界将目睹美国民主的活力。按照我们立国时的传统，总统之位将传给你们——美国人民所选择的继任者。站在国会山的台阶上的，将是一个其故事可以说明我们国家持久承诺的人。这是我们全国的希望与骄傲的深刻。我和所有美国人一起，向总统当选人奥巴马、他的妻子米歇儿以及他们两个美丽的女儿致以最美好的祝愿。 今晚，我满怀感激——感激副总统切尼以及行政成员们；感谢劳拉，她给这个家带来欢乐，给我的生活带来爱；感谢我们了不起的女儿芭芭拉和詹娜；感谢我的父母亲，他们的榜样为我提供了毕生的力量。最重要的是，我感谢美国人民给我的信任。我感谢你们的祈祷鼓舞了我的灵魂。我感谢你们在过去八年让我目睹了无数体现勇气、慷慨与仁慈的行动。 今晚，我的思绪回到我站在这个地方向你们致辞的第一个晚上——2001年9月11日。那天早上，恐怖分子夺走了近3000性命，这是自珍珠港事件以来，美国遭遇的最严重的袭击。我记得于三天后站在世贸中心的废墟中的情形，周围是全天候工作的救援人员。 我记得我跟那些在五角大楼烟雾弥漫的走廊里工作的勇敢灵魂谈话，跟那些登上93号航班最终成为英雄的人们的妻子们谈话。我记得阿琳·霍华德（Arlene Howard），她把已经陨落的儿子的警察勋章给了我，提醒我我们失去了什么。我仍然戴着他的徽章。 随着时间的流逝，大多数美国人可以回归911之前的生活，但我就不能。每天早上，我都收到一份关于我国面临威胁的简报。我发誓要尽我所能保证我们的安全。 在过去七年，一个新的国土安全部成立了。军队、情报界以及FBI已经警告改造。我们的国家装备了新的工具去监控恐怖分子的活动，冻结他们的金融，打破他们的阴谋。而且在强大盟友的支持下，我们向恐怖分子以及那些支持他们的人们发起了战斗。 阿富汗已经从塔利班窝藏基地组织、在大街上对妇女行石刑的国家变成一个年轻的民主体，与恐怖主义斗争，鼓励女孩子去上学。伊拉克已经从一个残暴的独裁国家和美国的死敌变成一个位于中东之心的阿拉伯民主体，变成美国的朋友。 很多这些决定引起合法性的争论，但其结果却是无须争论的。七年多里，美国领土没有再遭遇又一次恐怖袭击。这要归功于那些日夜辛勤工作保卫我们的安全的人们——执法人员，情报分析家，国土安全和外交人员，以及美国武装部队的男女成员。 在危险时刻，公民自愿捍卫国家，这是我们国家之福。我珍惜与这些无私的爱国者以及他们的家人的会晤。美国欠你们一份感激。致今晚所有在聆听的全体男女军人：作为你们的三军总司令是至高无上的荣耀。 我们的部队发起的战斗属于更为广泛的、两种根本不同的制度之间的斗争的一部分。在其中一种制度下，一小撮狂热分子要求全体服从一种压制性的意识形态，迫使妇女卑屈，杀害不信仰者。而另一种制度则是基于这样的信念：自由是万能的上帝赋予所有人的礼物，自由与正义照亮和平之路。 这是我们的立国信仰。从长期来看，推广这种信仰是保护我们公民的唯一可行办法。当人们生活在自由之中，他们就不会愿意选择追求恐怖主义运动的领袖。当人们对未来充满希望，他们就不会愿意把生命交给暴力与极端主义。 因此，美国在全世界推广人的自由、人的权利以及人的尊严。我们支持异见人士及年轻的民主体，提供爱滋病药物让濒临死亡的病人恢复生机，不让疟疾伤害母亲与婴儿。这个仅为自由而生的伟大共和国带领世界走向自由属于所有国家的新时期。 八年来，我们还努力扩大国内的机会与希望。在全国，学生们正起来满足公立学校提高了的标准。一种新的医疗处方药福利正为长者及残疾人带来内心的平静。每一个纳税人要支付的收入税减少了。 透过以信仰为基础的项目，上瘾者与受苦者找到了新希望。脆弱的生命得到更好的保护。用于退伍军人的资金几乎翻了一番。美国的空气、水和陆地更加清洁。而且联邦法官席上有了像法官阿利托（Sam Alito）和首席法官罗伯茨（John Roberts）这样睿智的新成员。
