莫言诺贝尔文学奖致辞英文演讲稿YouButMany尊敬的瑞典学院各位院士，女士们、先生们：通过电视或网络，我想在座的各位，对遥远的高密东北乡，已经有了或多或少的了解。
你们也许看到了我的九十岁的老父亲，看到了我的哥哥姐姐我的妻子女儿和我的一岁零四个月的外孙子，但是有一个此刻我最想念的人，我的母亲，你们永远无法看到了。
我获奖后，很多人分享了我的光荣，但我的母亲却无法分享了。
WeLastWhenSoThat我母亲生于1922年，卒于1994年。
她的骨灰，埋葬在村庄东边的桃园里。
去年，一条铁路要从那儿穿过，我们不得不将她的坟墓迁移到距离村子更远的地方。
掘开坟墓后，我们看到，棺木已经腐朽，母亲的骨殖，已经与泥土混为一体。
我们只好象征性地挖起一些泥土，移到新的墓穴里。
也就是从那一时刻起，我感到，我的母亲是大地的一部分，我站在大地上的诉说，就是对母亲的诉说。
MyWeakenedScaredTowardButShe我是我母亲最小的孩子。
我记忆中最早的一件事，是提着家里唯一的一把热水壶去公共食堂打开水。
因为饥饿无力，失手将热水瓶打碎，我吓得要命，钻进草垛，一天没敢出来。
傍晚的时候我听到母亲呼唤我的乳名，我从草垛里钻出来，以为会受到打骂，但母亲没有打我也没有骂我，只是抚摸着我的头，口中发出长长的叹息。

我回家痛苦，母亲对我说：“儿子，你不丑，你不缺鼻子不缺眼，四肢健全，丑在哪里?而且只要你心存善良，多做好事，即便是丑也能变美。
”后来我进入城市，有一些很有文化的人依然在背后甚至当面嘲弄我的相貌，我想起了母亲的话，便心平气和地向他们道歉。
诺贝尔奖生理获得者罗伯特·奥基夫在颁奖典礼宴会上英语演讲稿
诺贝尔奖生理获得者罗伯特·奥基夫在颁奖典礼宴会上英语演讲稿Your Majesties,Your Royal Highnesses,Your Excellencies,Ladies and GentlemenOn behalf of my colleagues May-Britt and Edvard Moser, and myself, I would like to express ourgratitude to the Nobel Foundation for hosting this magnificent banquet. I would also like toexpress our gratitude to the Nobel Committee and Assembly for deeming our research worthyof this distinguished accolade. I think it’s fair to say that the Nobel Prize is the highest honorany scientist or artist can achieve. We are pleased and delighted.We see the awards as a recognition not only of ourselves and our accomplishments but also ofour collaborators in the study of the spatial functions of the hippocampus, and our colleagues inthe wider field of cognitive and behavioural neuroscience. Cognitive neuroscience is entering anexciting era in which new technologies and ideas are making it possible to study the neuralbasis of cognition, perception, memory and emotion at the level of networks of interactingneurons, the level at which we believe many of the important operations of the brain take place.We know a considerable amount about how individual neurons work and how two cells cancommunicate with each other but the way in which entire networks of hundreds andthousands of neurons cooperate, interact with each other, and are orchestrated to create ourideas and concepts is an underexplored area of neuroscience. It is probably at this level thatnetwork failure occurs and leads to some of our most disturbing and intractable diseases ofthe mind and brain.This new area of neuroscience has been made possible by the development of new optical,computer-based electronic, and molecular biological tools which will allow us tomonitor theactivity of many thousands of cells simultaneously and to manipulate their activity. We willmove from looking at correlations between brain activity and behaviour to studying how thebrain causes mental states and behaviour. It is fitting therefore that our fellow laureates thisyear in physics and chemistry are world’s leaders in providing us with some of these tools. Weare eager to begin to use some of the laser-based optical techniques being developed by ourchemistry co- laureates.We are also pleased to be receiving the prize with laureates from so many different countries.Science is the quintessential international endeavour and the sterling reputation of the Nobelawards is partly dueto the widely-perceived lack of national and other biases in the selection ofthe laureates. We believe that the future great contributions to our understanding of thebiological and physical world can come from citizens of any country in any part of the world. It isto the credit of the Nobel committees that they have steadfastly endeavoured to follow AlfredNobel’s wishes that the prizes recognise contributions to the welfare of humanity regardless ofcountry of origin, gender, race or religious affiliation.I want to end by recognising and thanking our many collaborators and colleagues toonumerous to mention in this short speech, our universities, UCL and NTNU, and our generousfunders.Thank you for your attention. Tack.。
Nobel Lecture——马拉拉领奖演讲英语原文
Nobel LectureNobel Lecture by Malala Yousafzai, Oslo, 10 December 2014.Bismillah hir rahman ir rahim.In the name of God, the most merciful, the most beneficent.Your Majesties, Your royal highnesses, distinguished members of the Norweigan Nobel Committee,Dear sisters and brothers, today is a day of great happiness for me. I am humbled that the Nobel Committee has selected me for this precious award.Thank you to everyone for your continued support and love. Thank you for the letters and cards that I still receive from all around the world. Your kind and encouraging words strengthens and inspires me.I would like to thank my parents for their unconditional love. Thank you to my father for not clipping my wings and for letting me fly. Thank you to my mother for inspiring me to be patient and to always speak the truth- which we strongly believe is the true message of Islam. And also thank you to all my wonderful teachers, who inspired me to believe in myself and be brave.I am proud, well in fact, I am very proud to be the first Pashtun, the first Pakistani, and the youngest person to receive this award. Along with that, along with that, I am pretty certain that I am also the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who still fights with her younger brothers. I want there to be peace everywhere, but my brothers and I are still working on that.I am also honoured to receive this award together with Kailash Satyarthi, who has been a champion for children's rights for a long time. Twice as long, in fact, than I have been alive.I am proud that we can work together, we can work together and show the world that an Indian and a Pakistani, they can work together and achieve their goals of children's rights.Dear brothers and sisters, I was named after the inspirational Malalai of Maiwand who is the Pashtun Joan of Arc. The word Malala means grief stricken", sad", but in order to lend some happiness to it, my grandfather would always call me Malala – The happiest girl in the world" and today I am very happy that we are together fighting for an important cause.This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace. It is for those voiceless children who want change.I am here to stand up for their rights, to raise their voice… it is not time to pity them. It is not time to pity them. It is time to take action so it becomes the last time, the last time, so it becomes the last time that we see a child deprived of education.I have found that people describe me in many different ways.Some people call me the girl who was shot by the Taliban.And some, the girl who fought for her rights.Some people, call me a "Nobel Laureate" now.However, my brothers still call me that annoying bossy sister. As far as I know, I am just a committed and even stubborn person who wants to see every child getting quality education, who wants to see women having equal rights and who wants peace in every corner of the world.Education is one of the blessings of life—and one of its necessities. That has been my experience during the 17 years of my life. In my paradise home, Swat, I always loved learning and discovering new things. I remember when my friends and I would decorate our hands with henna on special occasions. And instead of drawing flowers and patterns we would paint our hands with mathematical formulas and equations.We had a thirst for education, we had a thirst for education because our future was right there in that classroom. We would sit and learn and read together. We loved to wear neat and tidy school uniforms and we would sit there with big dreams in our eyes. We wanted to make our parents proud and prove that we could also excel in our studies and achieve those goals, which some people think only boys can.But things did not remain the same. When I was in Swat, which was a place of tourism and beauty, suddenly changed into a place of terrorism. I was just ten that more than 400 schools were destroyed. Women were flogged. People were killed. And our beautiful dreams turned into nightmares.Education went from being a right to being a crime.Girls were stopped from going to school.When my world suddenly changed, my priorities changed too.I had two options. One was to remain silent and wait to be killed. And the second was to speak up and then be killed.I chose the second one. I decided to speak up.We could not just stand by and see those injustices of the terrorists denying our rights, ruthlessly killing people and misusing the name of Islam. We decided to raise our voice and tell them: Have you not learnt, have you not learnt that in the Holy Quran Allah says: if you kill one person it is as if you kill the whole humanity?Do you not know that Mohammad, peace be upon him, the prophet of mercy, he says, do not harm yourself or others".And do you not know that the very first word of the Holy Quran is the word Iqra", which means read"?The terrorists tried to stop us and attacked me and my friends who are here today, on our school bus in 2012, but neither their ideas nor their bullets could win.We survived. And since that day, our voices have grown louder and louder.I tell my story, not because it is unique, but because it is not.It is the story of many girls.Today, I tell their stories too. I have brought with me some of my sisters from Pakistan, from Nigeria and from Syria, who share this story. My brave sisters Shazia and Kainat who were also shot that day on our school bus. But they have not stopped learning. And my brave sister Kainat Soomro who went through severe abuse and extreme violence, even her brother was killed, but she did not succumb.Also my sisters here, whom I have met during my Malala Fund campaign. My 16-year-old courageous sister, Mezon from Syria, who now lives in Jordan as refugee and goes from tent to tent encouraging girls and boys to learn. And my sister Amina, from the North of Nigeria, where Boko Haram threatens, and stops girls and even kidnaps girls, just for wanting to go to school.Though I appear as one girl, though I appear as one girl, one person, who is 5 foot 2 inches tall, if you include my high heels. (It means I am 5 foot only) I am not a lone voice, I am not a lone voice, I am many.I am Malala. But I am also Shazia.I am Kainat.I am Kainat Soomro.I am Mezon.I am Amina. I am those 66 million girls who are deprived of education. And today I am not raising my voice, it is the voice of those 66 million girls.Sometimes people like to ask me why should girls go to school, why is it important for them. But I think the more important question is why shouldn't they, why shouldn't they have this right to go to school.Dear sisters and brothers, today, in half of the world, we see rapid progress and development. However, there are many countries where millions still suffer from the very old problems of war, poverty, and injustice.We still see conflicts in which innocent people lose their lives and children become orphans. We see many people becoming refugees in Syria, Gaza and Iraq. In Afghanistan, we see families being killed in suicide attacks and bomb blasts.Many children in Africa do not have access to education because of poverty. And as I said, we still see, we still see girls who have no freedom to go to school in the north of Nigeria.Many children in countries like Pakistan and India, as Kailash Satyarthi mentioned, many children, especially in India and Pakistan are deprived of their right to education because of social taboos, or they have been forced into child marriage or into child labour.One of my very good school friends, the same age as me, who had always been a bold and confident girl, dreamed of becoming a doctor. But her dream remained a dream. At the age of 12, she was forced to get married. And then soon she had a son, she had a child when she herself was still a child – only 14. I know that she could have been a very good doctor.But she couldn't ... because she was a girl.Her story is why I dedicate the Nobel Peace Prize money to the Malala Fund, to help give girls quality education, everywhere, anywhere in the world and to raise their voices. The first place this funding will go to is where my heart is, to build schools in Pakistan—especially in my home of Swat and Shangla.In my own village, there is still no secondary school for girls. And it is my wish and my commitment, and now my challenge to build one so that my friends and my sisters can go there to school and get quality education and to get this opportunity to fulfil their dreams.This is where I will begin, but it is not where I will stop. I will continue this fight until I see every child, every child in school.Dear brothers and sisters, great people, who brought change, like Martin LutherKing and Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Aung San Suu Kyi, once stood here on this stage. I hope the steps that Kailash Satyarthi and I have taken so far and will take on this journey will also bring change – lasting change.My great hope is that this will be the last time, this will be the last time we must fight for education. Let's solve this once and for all.We have already taken many steps. Now it is time to take a leap.It is not time to tell the world leaders to realise how important education is - they already know it - their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action for the rest of the world's children.We ask the world leaders to unite and make education their top priority.Fifteen years ago, the world leaders decided on a set of global goals, the Millennium Development Goals. In the years that have followed, we have seen some progress. The number of children out of school has been halved, as Kailash Satyarthi said. However, the world focused only on primary education, and progress did not reach everyone.In year 2015, representatives from all around the world will meet in the United Nations to set the next set of goals, the Sustainable Development Goals. This will set the world's ambition for the next generations.The world can no longer accept, the world can no longer accept that basic education is enough. Why do leaders accept that for children in developing countries, only basic literacy is sufficient, when their own children do homework in Algebra, Mathematics, Science and Physics?Leaders must seize this opportunity to guarantee a free, quality, primary and secondary education for every child.Some will say this is impractical, or too expensive, or too hard. Or maybe even impossible. But it is time the world thinks bigger.Dear sisters and brothers, the so-called world of adults may understand it, but we children don't. Why is it that countries which we call strong" are so powerful in creating wars but are so weak in bringing peace? Why is it that giving guns is so easy but giving books is so hard? Why is it, why is it that making tanks is so easy, but building schools is so hard?We are living in the modern age and we believe that nothing is impossible. We have reached the moon 45 years ago and maybe will soon land on Mars. Then, in this 21st century, we must be able to give every child quality education.Dear sisters and brothers, dear fellow children, we must work… not wait. Not just the politicians and the world leaders, we all need to contribute. Me. You. We. It is our duty.Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last , let us become thefirst generation that decides to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods, and wasted potentials.Let this be the last time that a girl or a boy spends their childhood in a factory.Let this be the last time that a girl is forced into early child marriage.Let this be the last time that a child loses life in war.Let this be the last time that we see a child out of school.Let this end with us.Let's begin this ending ... together ... today ... right here, right now. Let's begin this ending now.Thank you so much.。

Mother_Teresa
She arrived in India in 1929 and became a nun two years later. The poverty and suffering she saw around her in Calcutta deeply disturbed her. A famine in 1943 killed thousands and worsened the situation. In 1946 she received a call from God. "I was to leave the convent and help the poor while living among them. It was an order,” she said. She was an international symbol of charity, visiting many countries to help poor children. At the time of her death, her organization was operating in 123 countries. After she died, the Pope started the process that might one day make her a saint. An international survey ranked her as the "most admired person of the 20th Century."
tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children's and family counseling programs, orphanages, and schools. She has been praised by many individuals, governments and organizations; however, she has also faced a diverse range of criticism. These include objections by various individuals, including Christopher Hitchens, Michael Parenti, Aroup Chatterjee, Vishva Hindu Parishad, against the proselytizing focus of her work; this included baptisms of the dying, a strong anti-abortion stance, and a belief in the spiritual goodness of poverty. Several medical journals also criticised the standard of medical care in her hospices and concerns were raised about the opaque nature in which donated money was spent. Following her death she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
介绍名人 特蕾莎修女 Mother Teresa 英语作文
Mother TeresaMother Teresa Essay in English:It would not be inappropriate to call Mother Teresa, “The Saint of the twentieth century.” Bent down in poised grace, with her white sari draping her head, she was the very image of God’s love on this earth. During turbulent times like ours, in which the race for materialism has all but completely wiped out our conscientiousness, it was this apostle of love and mercy who became a beacon of hope for millions all over the world. Her inspirational selfless work for the homeless, the poor, theaged, the handicapped and the unwanted was nothing short of the manifestation of the divine self. Students can get to know about Mother Teresa essay writing, essay about mother Teresa, an essay on mother Teresa, an essay of mother Teresa,Essay Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu on August 26th, 1910, at Skopje. Her family belonged to the Albanian community. They were Catholics, though the majority of the Albanians are Muslims. Her father, Kole, was a widely traveled businessman. Her mother, Drana, was a housewife. They had threechildren of which Agnes was the youngest. When Agnes was nine, her father died. Drana had to look after the family. She started earning her living by sewing wedding dresses and doing embroidery jobs. In spite of these hardships, theirs was a religious family.Every Time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.This spiritual upbringing had a deep impact on Agnes. As a little girl, she began to understand the quintessential meaning of the preachings of the Gospel and early in her life, she tried to put to practice what was preached. Her mother’sinfluence in molding little Agnes into a deeply caring human being cannot be undermined. Apart from taking care of her three children, Drana was much moved by the misery of an alcoholic woman in the neighborhood. She went to wash and feed her twice a day. She began to take care of a widow and her six children.When Drana could not go, Agnes went to do this work. After the death of the widow, the children were raised in the Bojaxhiu household as a part of it. So it was this exemplary attitude of her mother that instilled in Agnes the love and concern for others. This was to become so mucha part of her character that she left all other pleasures in her later life. She was to completely devote herself to the welfare of the poor and the needy.It was at the age of twelve that for the first time, she felt a keen desire to spend her life doing God’s work. But she was not sure. Agnes was eighteen when the decision was made. For two years, she assisted several religious retreats in Lentice and it was clear to her that she would be a missionary in India. She then decided to join the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto who were very active in India. On September 25th, 1928, sheleft for Dublin where the motherhouse of the Loreto Sisters is located. Here, Agnes learned to speak English and was trained for religious life. After receiving the Sister’s Habit, she chose to call herself Sister Teresa in memory of the little Teresa of Lisieux. On December 1st, 1928, Sister Teresa left for India to begin a new life.After taking her vows at Darjeeling, Sister Teresa dedicated herself to the care of the sick and the needy in a small hospital. Later, she was trained as a teacher and became the headmistress of a secondary school in the center of Kolkata. Not only did Sister Teresateach the students history and geography, but it also took time to get to know the children’s personalities and their families. So overwhelming was her concern for the children that they began calling her ‘Ma.’ Close to this institute, were the slums of Kolkata. The miserable appalling conditions in which the poor lived wrenched her heart. Sister Teresa could not turn herself away from such misery. Along with some girls, she would visit the slums and try to help out the poor in any manner that she could afford.To clear her tormented soul and to look for direction, Sister Teresa went for a retreat to Darjeeling on the tenth of September, 1937. Many years later, Mother Teresa called it, “The most important journey of my life.” It was during that journey that she really heard God’s voice. His message was clear; she had to leave the convent to help the poorest of the poor and to live with them. “It was an order, a d uty, an absolute certainty. I knew what to do but I did not know how.”The tenth day of September is called “Inspiration Day.”Mother Teresa was 38 when she took the vows of poverty, purity, and obedience. Giving up the Habit of the Sisters of Loreto, she took to wearing a cheap white cotton sari with a blue border. Sister Teresa then went to Patna to train herself as a nurse. She realized the importance of such training in her venture to help the poor who lived in dirty and unhealthy habitation. After completing her training, Sister Teresa came back to Kolkata and began her life’s vocation—to live among the poor and to help them.Soon, she became a common figure in the slums and the streets of Kolkata. Her white sari,her fluent Bengali and her unrelenting effort to improve the hygiene and literacy in the slums, soon made her an endearing figure. Rising early at dawn, the Sister worked with dedication and inner spiritual strength that comes with sincere prayer. At this time, Sister Teresa, so sure of the virtue of her vocation, took Indian nationality. Her will to help the needy became stronger with each passing day.With continuous work, their community grew. Soon, Sister Teresa began thinking seriously about starting a congregation. This was approved on October 7th, 1950. Thus, theconstitution of the “Society of the Missionaries of Charity,” came into being. It was the day of the feast of the Holy Rosary. After five years, the congregation became papal as more and more Sisters joined the congregation and devoted their lives to the sick and the poorest of the poor.At Kolkata, owing to their growing numbers, the Missionaries of Charity needed a residence. A Muslim leaving for Pakistan sold his house for a nominal price and this was to become the famous Mother’s House at 54 A, Lower Circular Road, Kolkata. While society grew, the Mother’s work kept on increasing. Her work among thelepers of India got her international recognition. She received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979. After receiving the honor, Mothe r Teresa said, “I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people who have become a burden to society and are shunned by everyone.”On September 5th, 1997, Mother Teresa died of a heart attack at 9.30 pm. It was an irreplaceable loss that was felt worldwide.Mother Teresa was buried on September 13th, 1997, exactly 7 months after electing Sister Nirmala as her successor. Mother Teresa would live on in the memory of all those who were, during her lifetime, graced by her tender touch that made all the difference.。

赞美女人英文演讲稿范文
Good morning/afternoon/evening! It is my great honor to stand before you today to deliver a speech that celebrates the incredible women in our lives. Women have been the backbone of society, the pillars of our families, and the embodiment of strength, resilience, and compassion. Today, I want to take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the women who have made a difference in our lives, in our communities, and in the world.First and foremost, let us celebrate the women who have shaped our personal lives. Our mothers, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers are the epitome of love, care, and dedication. They are the first teachers, the first friends, and the first role models we have ever known. They have tirelessly worked to ensure our happiness, success, and well-being. From the early morning wake-up calls to the late-night talks, they havealways been there for us, guiding us through life's ups and downs.Our mothers are the ones who taught us the value of hard work, perseverance, and kindness. They have shown us that no task is too small, no challenge too great, and no obstacle insurmountable. Their unwavering dedication to our success has instilled in us a sense of confidence and determination that will carry us through life's trials and tribulations.Sisters are our closest confidants, our greatest allies, and our most loyal companions. They share our laughter, our tears, and our secrets. They are the ones who pick us up when we fall, console us when we are sad, and celebrate with us when we achieve our dreams. Sisters are the embodiment of unconditional love and support, and they have taught usthe importance of sisterhood and camaraderie.Aunts and grandmothers are the wise, caring mentors who have always been there to offer guidance and wisdom. They have shared their life experiences, their stories, and their knowledge, helping us to navigate the complexities of life. They have taught us to be grateful, to be kind, and to be resilient.In addition to the women in our personal lives, we must also recognize the women who have made significant contributions to our communities and the world at large. These women have broken barriers, shattered glassceilings, and inspired countless others to pursue their dreams and passions.One such woman is Malala Yousafzai, the youngest ever Nobel Prize laureate. Malala fought tirelessly for the right of girls to receive an education, even at the risk of her own life. Her courage and determination have inspired millions around the world to stand up for what is right and to fight for justice and equality.Another remarkable woman is Dr. Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Dr. Maathai dedicated her life to environmental conservation and the empowerment of women in Africa. Her work has not only protected the environment but also empowered women to take an active role in decision-making processes.Then there is Mother Teresa, the Albanian nun who dedicated her life to serving the poor and the destitute in India. Her selflessness, compassion, and unwavering commitment to helping others have touched the hearts of millions and have inspired countless people to live a life of service and love.These women, among many others, have shown us that greatness lies within each and every one of us. They have demonstrated that women have the power to change the world, to create a better future, and to make a lasting impact on the lives of others.As we celebrate the achievements of these remarkable women, let us also acknowledge the challenges they have faced and continue to face. Women around the world still struggle with gender inequality, discrimination, and violence. It is our responsibility to stand together and fight for their rights, to ensure that they have the same opportunities as men, and to create a world where all women can thrive and excel.In conclusion, today we gather to honor and celebrate the incredible women in our lives. Let us take a moment to appreciate their love, their strength, their resilience, and their dedication. Let us be inspired by their stories and let us strive to be the women they have inspired us tobe. Together, we can create a world where all women are empowered, respected, and celebrated.Thank you.。

Nobel Lecture Speech by Mother Teresa Oslo, NorwayAs we have gathered here together to thank God for the Nobel Peace Prize I think it will be beautiful that we pray the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi which always surprises me very much- we pray this prayer every day after Holy Communion, because it is very fitting for each one of us, and I always wonder that 4-500 years ago as St. Francis of Assisi composed this prayer that they had the same difficulties that we have today, as we compose this prayer that fits very nicely for us also. I think some of you already have got it- so we will pray together.Let us thank God for the opportunity that we all have together today, for this gift of peace that reminds us that we have been created to live that peace, and Jesus became man to bring that good news to the poor. He being God became man in all things like us except sin, and he proclaimed very clearly that he had come to give the good news. The news was peace to all of good will and this is something that we all want- the peace of heart- and God loved the world so much that he gave his son - it was a giving - it is as much as if to say it hurt God to give, because he loved the world so much that he gave his son, and he gave him to Virgin Mary, and what did she do with him?As soon as he came in her life - immediately she went in haste to give that good news, and as she came into the house of her cousin, the child- the unborn child- the child in the womb of Elizabeth, leapt with joy. He was that little unborn child,was the first messenger of peace. He recognised the Prince of Peace, he recognised that Christ has come to bring the good news for you and for me. And as if that was not enough- it was not enough to become a man - he died on the cross to show that greater love, and he died for you and for me and for that leper and for that man dying of hunger and that naked person lying in the street not only of Calcutta, but of Africa, and New York, and London, and Oslo- and insisted that we love one another as he loves each one of us. And we read that in the Gospel very clearly- love as I have loved you- as I love you- as the Father has loved me, I love you- and the harder the Father loved him, he gave him to us, and how much we love one another, we, too, must give each other until it hurts. It is not enough for us to say: I love God, but I do not love my neighbour. St. John says you are a liar if you say you love God, and you don't love your neighbour. How can you love God whom you do not see, if you do not love your neighbour whom you see, whom you touch, with whom you live. And so this is very important for us to realise that love, to be true, has to hurt. It hurt Jesus to love us, it hurt him. And to make sure we remember his great love he made himself the bread of life to satisfy our hunger for his love. Our hunger for God, because we have been created for that love. We have been created in his image. We have been created to love and be loved, and then he has become man to make it possible for us to love as he loved us. He makes himself the hungry one- the naked one - the homeless one- the sick one- the one in prison- the lonely one - the unwanted one- and he says: You did it to me. Hungry for our love, and this is the hunger of our poor people. This is thehunger that you and I must find, it may be in our own home.I never forget an opportunity I had in visiting a home where they had all these old parents of sons and daughters who had just put them in an institution and forgotten maybe. And I went there, and I saw in that home they had everything, beautiful things, but everybody was looking towards the door. And I did not see a single one with their smile on their face. And I turned to the Sister and I asked: How is that? How is it that the people they have everything here, why are they all looking towards the door, why are they not smiling? I am so used to see the smile on our people, even the dying one smile, and she said: This is nearly every day, they are expecting, they are hoping that a son or daughter will come to visit them. They are hurt because they are forgotten, and see- this is where love comes. That poverty comes right there in our own home, even neglect of love. Maybe in our own family we have somebody who is feeling lonely, who is feeling sick, who is feeling worried, and these are difficult days for everybody. Are we there, are we there to receive them, is the mother there to receive the child?I was surprised in the West to see so many young boys and girls given into drugs, and I tried to find out why- why it is like that, and the answer was: Because there is no one in the family to receive them. Father and mother are so busy they have no time. Young parents are in some institution and the child takes back to the street and gets involved in something. We are talking of peace. These are things thatbreak peace, but I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing- direct murder by the mother herself. And we read in the Scripture, for God says very clearly: Even if a mother could forget her child- I will not forget you - I have carved you in the palm of my hand. We are carved in the palm of His hand, so close to Him that unborn child has been carved in the hand of God. And that is what strikes me most, the beginning of that sentence, that even if a mother could forget something impossible - but even if she could forget - I will not forget you. And today the greatest means - the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. And we who are standing here - our parents wanted us. We would not be here if our parents would do that to us. Our children, we want them, we love them, but what of the millions. Many people are very, very concerned with the children in India, with the children in Africa where quite a number die, maybe of malnutrition, of hunger and so on, but millions are dying deliberately by the will of the mother. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child- what is left for me to kill you and you kill me- there is nothing between. And this I appeal in India, I appeal everywhere: Let us bring the child back, and this year being the child's year: What have we done for the child? At the beginning of the year I told, I spoke everywhere and I said: Let us make this year that we make every single child born, and unborn, wanted. And today is the end of the year, have we really made the children wanted? I will give you something terrifying. We are fighting abortion by adoption, we have saved thousands of lives, we have sent words to all the clinics, to the hospitals, police stations - please don'tdestroy the child, we will take the child. So every hour of the day and night it is always somebody, we have quite a number of unwedded mothers- tell them come, we will take care of you, we will take the child from you, and we will get a home for the child. And we have a tremendous demand from families who have no children, that is the blessing of God for us. And also, we are doing another thing which is very beautiful- we are teaching our beggars, our leprosy patients, our slum dwellers, our people of the street, natural family planning.And in Calcutta alone in six years- it is all in Calcutta- we have had 61,273 babies less from the families who would have had, but because they practise this natural way of abstaining, of self-control, out of love for each other. We teach them the temperature meter which is very beautiful, very simple, and our poor people understand. And you know what they have told me? Our family is healthy, our family is united, and we can have a baby whenever we want. So clear- those people in the street, those beggars- and I think that if our people can do like that how much more you and all the others who can know the ways and means without destroying the life that God has created in us.The poor people are very great people. They can teach us so many beautiful things. The other day one of them came to thank and said: You people who have vowed chastity you are the best people to teach us family planning. Because it is nothing more than self-control out of love for each other. And I think they said a beautifulsentence. And these are people who maybe have nothing to eat, maybe they have not a home where to live, but they are great people. The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition- and I told the Sisters: You take care of the other three, I take of this one that looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand, as she said one word only: Thank you - and she died.I could not help but examine my conscience before her, and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself, I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more - she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for. And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel- this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry- I was naked- I was homeless - I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for - and you did it to me.I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in theeyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives in the heart of the world. For we are touching the Body Of Christ 24 hours. We have 24 hours in this presence, and so you and I. You too try to bring that presence of God in your family, for the family that prays together stays together. And I think that we in our family don't need bombs and guns, to destroy to bring peace - just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.There is so much suffering, so much hatred, so much misery, and we with our prayer, with our sacrifice are beginning at home. Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the action that we do. It is to God Almighty- how much we do it does not matter, because He is infinite, but how much love we put in that action. How much we do to Him in the person that we are serving.Some time ago in Calcutta we had great difficulty in getting sugar, and I don't know how the word got around to the children, and a little boy of four years old, Hindu boy, went home and told his parents: I will not eat sugar for three days, I will give my sugar to Mother Teresa for her children. After three days his father and mother brought him to our home. I had never met them before, and this little one could scarcely pronounce my name, but he knew exactly what he had come to do. He knew that he wanted to share his love.And that is why I have received such a lot of love from you all. From the time that I have come here I have simply been surrounded with love, and with real, real understanding love. It could feel as if everyone in India, everyone in Africa is somebody very special to you. And I felt quite at home I was telling Sister today. I feel in the Convent with the Sisters as if I am in Calcutta with my own Sisters. So completely at home here, right here.And so here I am talking with you- I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people. And find out about your next-door-neighbor - do you know who they are? I had the most extraordinary experience with a Hindu family who had eight children. A gentleman came to our house and said: Mother Teresa, there is a family with eight children, they had not eaten for so long- do something. So I took some rice and I went there immediately. And I saw the children- their eyes shining with hunger - I don't know if you have ever seen hunger. But I have seen it very often. And she took the rice, she divided the rice, and she went out. When she came back I asked her - where did you go, what did you do? And she gave me a very simple answer: They are hungry also. What struck me most was that she knew- and who are they, a Muslim family - and she knew. I didn't bring more rice that evening because I wanted them to enjoy the joy of sharing. But there were those children, radiating joy, sharing the joy with their mother because she had the love to give. And yousee this is where love begins- at home. And I want you- and I am very grateful for what I have received. It has been a tremendous experience and I go back to India- I will be back by next week, the 15th I hope - and I will be able to bring your love.And I know well that you have not given from your abundance, but you have given until it has hurt you. Today the little children they have- I was so surprised - there is so much joy for the children that are hungry. That the children like themselves will need love and care and tenderness, like they get so much from their parents. So let us thank God that we have had this opportunity to come to know each other, and this knowledge of each other has brought us very close. And we will be able to help not only the children of India and Africa, but will be able to help the children of the whole world, because as you know our Sisters are all over the world. And with this prize that I have received as a prize of peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people that have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor- I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, be good news to the poor. The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world.To be able to do this, our Sisters, our lives have to be woven with prayer. They have to be woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering - and I feel that the passion of Christ is beingrelived all over again - are we there to share that passion, to share that suffering of people. Around the world, not only in the poor countries, but I found the poverty of the West so much more difficult to remove. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied.I have removed that hunger. But a person that is shut out, that feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person that has been thrown out from society - that poverty is so hurtable and so much, and I find that very difficult. Our Sisters are working amongst that kind of people in the West. So you must pray for us that we may be able to be that good news, but we cannot do that without you, you have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor, maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something. So you pray for our Sisters and for me and for our Brothers, and for our Co-Workers that are around the world. That we may remain faithful to the gift of God, to love Him and serve Him in the poor together with you. What we have done we should not have been able to do if you did not share with your prayers, with your gifts, this continual giving. But I don't want you to give me from your abundance, I want that you give me until it hurts.The other day I received 15 dollars from a man who has been on his back for twenty years, and the only part that he can move is his right hand. And the only companion that he enjoys is smoking. And he said to me: I do not smoke for one week, and I send you this money. It must have been a terrible sacrifice for him, but see how beautiful, how he shared, and with that money I bought bread and I gave to those who are hungry with a joy on both sides, he was giving and the poor were receiving. This is something that you and I- it is a gift of God to us to be able to share our love with others. And let it be as it was for Jesus. Let us love one another as he loved us. Let us love Him with undivided love. And the joy of loving Him and each other- let us give now - that Christmas is coming so close. Let us keep that joy of loving Jesus in our hearts. And share that joy with all that we come in touch with. And that radiating joy is real, for we have no reason not to be happy because we have no Christ with us. Christ in our hearts, Christ in the poor that we meet, Christ in the smile that we give and the smile that we receive. Let us make that one point: That no child will be unwanted, and also that we meet each other always with a smile, especially when it is difficult to smile.I never forget some time ago about fourteen professors came from the United States from different universities. And they came to Calcutta to our house. Then we were talking about that they had been to the home for the dying. We have a home for the dying in Calcutta, where we have picked up more than 36,000 peopleonly from the streets of Calcutta, and out of that big number more than 18,000 have died a beautiful death. They have just gone home to God; and they came to our house and we talked of love, of compassion, and then one of them asked me: Say, Mother, please tell us something that we will remember, and I said to them: Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family. Smile at each other. And then another one asked me: Are you married, and I said: Yes, and I find it sometimes very difficult to smile at Jesus because he can be very demanding sometimes. This is really something true, and there is where love comes - when it is demanding, and yet we can give it to Him with joy. Just as I have said today, I have said that if I don't go to Heaven for anything else I will be going to Heaven for all the publicity because it has purified me and sacrificed me and made me really ready to go to Heaven. I think that this is something, that we must live life beautifully, we have Jesus with us and He loves us. If we could only remember that God loves me, and I have an opportunity to love others as he loves me, not in big things, but in small things with great love, then Norway becomes a nest of love. And how beautiful it will be that from here a centre for peace has been given. That from here the joy of life of the unborn child comes out. If you become a burning light in the world of peace, then really the Nobel Peace Prize is a gift of the Norwegian people. God bless you!原文地址：/read/4396.html。
