Remarks of President Barack ObamaAs Prepared for DeliveryOn the 10 Anniversary of 9/11The Bibl e tells us - 'weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.'《圣经》告诉我们，哭泣可能会持续整夜，但欢乐会在清晨到来。
Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbl ed. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smol d ered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors; sisters and brothers; mothers and fathers; sons and daughters - they were taken from us with heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. On September 12, 2001, we awoke to a worl d in which evil was cl oser at hand, and uncertainty cl oud ed our future.十年前，美国经历了最黑暗的一个夜晚。
布什总统清华大学演讲全文(中英对照)
President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua UniversityTsinghua UniversityBeijing, People's Republic of China10:35 A.M. (Local)PRESIDENT BUSH: Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife, Laura, here. (Applause.) I see she's keeping pretty good company, with the Secretary of State, Colin Powell. It's good to see you, Mr. Secretary. (Applause.) And I see my National Security Advisor, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, who at one time was the provost at Stanford University. So she's comfortable on university campuses such as this. Thank you for being here, Condi. (Applause.)I'm so grateful for the hospitality, and honored for the reception at one of China's, and the world's, great universities.This university was founded, interestingly enough, with the support of my country, to further ties between our two nations. I know how important this place is to your Vice President. He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here. (Laughter.)I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance 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 world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So, congratulations. (Applause.) I don't know if you know this or not, but my wife and I have two daughters who are in college, just like you. One goes to the University of Texas. One goes to Yale. They're twins. And we are proud of our daughters, just like I'm sure your parents are proud of you.My visit to China comes on an important anniversary, as the Vice President mentioned. 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 world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, in the spirit of mutual respect. As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said this to President Nixon: "Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world -- 25 years of no communication."During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other. And that's important. 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 world -- as demonstrated by the knowledge and potential right here in this room. China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong and peaceful and prosperous China. (Applause.)As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country. This happens for many reasons, and some of them of our own making. Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know. Our successful businesses show a strength of American commerce, but our spirit, community spirit, and contributions to each other are not always visible as monetary success.Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others. My friend, the Ambassador to China, tells me some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans of "bullying the weak and repressing the poor." Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to "repress the working people." Now, neither of these is true -- and while the words may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and they're harmful.In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the weak and the poor. Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves -- and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need. American compassion also stretches way beyond our borders. We're the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world. And as for the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement, they're working people; they, themselves, are working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption.My country certainly has its share of problems, no question about that. And we have our faults. Like most nations we're on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice. Yet there's a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America. It's because we're a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. No matter your background or your circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, you can start your own business, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and help elect the leaders of your community and your country. You can support the policies of our government, or you're free to openly disagree with them. Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself.Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities. Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions, and overseen by a strong and fair legal system.My country's greatest symbol to the world is the Statue of Liberty, and it was designed by special care.I don't know if you've ever seen the Statue of Liberty, but if you look closely, she's holding not one object, but two. In one hand is the familiar torch we call the "light of liberty." And in the other hand is a book of law.We're a nation of laws. Our courts are honest and they are independent. The President -- me -- I can't tell the courts how to rule, and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch of government. Under our law, everyone stands equal. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it.All political power in America is limited and it is temporary, and only given by the free vote of the people. We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the power of thethree branches of our government, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch, of which I'm a part.Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country. American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation. In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving other people. An amazing number -- nearly half of all adults in America -- volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children, or by visiting the sick, or caring for the elderly, or helping with thousands of other needs and causes.This is one of the great strengths of my country. People take responsibility for helping others, without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith.America is a nation guided by faith. Someone once called us "a nation with the soul of a church." This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I'm one of them.When I met President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I had the honor of sharing with him how faith changed my life and how faith contributes to the life of my country. Faith points to a moral law beyond man's law, and calls us to duties higher than material gain. Freedom of religion is not something to be feared, it's to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and to serve others, and to live responsible lives.If you travel across America -- and I hope you do some day if you haven't been there -- you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths. We're a varied nation. We're home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, or in the Cabinet of the President of the United States, or skating for the America Olympic team. Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as just as American as the President. America shows that a society can be vast and it can be varied, yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.And all these qualities of America were widely on display on a single day, September the 11th, the day when terrorists, murderers, attacked my nation. American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in desperation to save their fellow citizens. V olunteers came from everywhere to help with rescue efforts. Americans donated blood and gave money to help the families of victims. America had prayer services all over our country, and people raised flags to show their pride and unity. And you need to know, none of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of free people.Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law is not to be feared. In a free society, diversity is not disorder. Debate is not strife. And dissent is not revolution. A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatness in themselves and their country.It was my honor to visit China in 1975 -- some of you weren't even born then. It shows how old I am. (Laughter.) And a lot has changed in your country since then. China has made amazing progress -- inopenness and enterprise and economic freedom. And this progress previews China'a great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to China's legal system. A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people. The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges our society -- challenges society in our country, and in many successful countries. Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.Behind China's economic success today are talented, brilliant and energetic people. In the near future, those same men and women will play a full and active role in your government. This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens. And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country. They are participants in its future.Change is coming. China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level. Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- I want you to hear his words. He said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level. I look forward to that day.Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. Regardless of where or how these believers worship, they're no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens. For centuries, this country has had a tradition of religious tolerance. My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China -- a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create. This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship. Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games. And I'm confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.Thank you for letting me come.布什：胡副主席，非常感谢您的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

华氏911英文简评
简评电影《华氏911》本片获得了2004年的戛纳电影节金棕榈大奖。
然而，一部纪录片成功与否的首要标准应该是客观与公正的展现和评价事件，很遗憾，在这方面《华氏911》不合格。
尽管电影叫“911”，实际上影片中描述911事件的部分仅在开头，大部分内容是关于伊拉克战争的。
但影片也没有从政治、经济、哲学、文化等方面对事件进行客观叙述和深刻分析，有的只是对布什个人的攻击。
影片一开始就强调布什总统是通过不公正选举上台的，并且嘲弄地指出，在很多美国人心中布什“有点傻”。
此外，他还是个懒惰的、不负责任的总统， 911事件后还“抽空度假”，等等。
不论布什本人的品质是否真如影片所言，在讨论911这件重大的世界性事件上，对布什个人品质的丑化给人很不严肃的感觉。
实际上，本·拉登是沙特王室成员，拉登家族基本上代表了沙特王国，沙特王国与美国在外交、经济等诸方面有着很多联系，而影片似乎有意无意地回避了这一问题。
影片给人的印象更像是：布什是本· 拉登的同谋。
影片展现了无穷无尽的反战示威，记者对各种反战人士的采访，美国人和伊拉克人在战争中失去亲人的悲痛，等等。
渲染了战争的苦难。
然而这更像在赚取观众的眼泪，对说明战争问题的本质并没有多大意义。
影片总结了战争的原因，除了毫无新意的重复“为了石油”这一论调，还暗示战争原因是布什父子与萨达姆之间的个人恩怨。
显然这种看法是很浅薄的，影片偏颇的观点是电影失去了更高的鉴赏价值。
A Brief Comment on Fahrenheit 911This documentary won the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004. However, to my way of thinking, to describe and comment an event objectively and fairly should be the primary standard which can define a documentary success or failure. Unfortunately, Fahrenheit 911 is failed in this regard.In spite of its name, the event of Fahrenheit 911 is only described in the beginning of the documentary. The Iraq War is the main content. However, the movie doesn’t describe and analyze the event from politics, economy, and culture, etc. Instead there is only the personal attack to President Bush.The movie emphasizes that President Bush came to power through the unfair election. And note that Bush is “a bit silly” in many American’s heart. In addition, he is a lazy, irresponsible president, even makes time to travel after Fahrenheit 911. No matter whether the comment is true, to uglify the president is not very serious.As a matter of fact, Bin Laden is a member of the Saudi royal family. The Laden family can mainly represent the kingdom of Saudi. They have a lot of connections with America in various areas. But the movie avoids this issue intentionally or unintentionally. I t seems to give audience an impression that Bush is the accomplice of Laden.The movie shows the endless antiwar protest, interviews to many sorts of anti-war activist, the grief that so many American and Iraqi losing their families. But it seems like the movie is making the audience cry intentionally. It doesn’t make much sense on explaining the nature of the war. The film summarizes the cause of the war. Besides to repeat the canned assertion “for oil”, it indicates that the cause is related to personal grievances between the Bushs and Saddam. Obviously, this opinion is so flimsiness. It seems that President Bush waged the war pushily. The biased views make the movie lose a higher value to appreciate.。
911袭击精心策划
911袭击精心策划劫机者为什么选择911这一天？2001年9月11日，美国纽约的世贸中心遭受了恐怖袭击。
几架飞机被劫，其中两架撞向了双子塔，导致大规模的人员伤亡和建筑崩塌。
这次袭击被认为是人类历史上最严重的恐怖袭击事件之一，袭击背后的策划者精心策划，指挥的是一个由基地组织领导的恐怖组织。
为什么9月11日成为了劫机者的目标日期？其实这个日子和恐怖分子背后的意图有着密切的关联。
下面，我们将深入分析911袭击的背景和影响，探讨9月11日被选择作为恐怖袭击的重要原因。
911背景和社会氛围911袭击的背后有着美国与中东国家长期的政治和宗教矛盾。
1990年代初期，伊拉克入侵科威特，美国和联军对伊拉克进行了军事打击，导致中东地区民众对美国的愤怒和不满情绪上升。
而后，美国在1991年对伊拉克组成的联军期间，阿富汗伊斯兰法庭组织（AIFC）被创立，成员之一是奥萨马·本·拉登（Osama bin Laden）。
AIFC后来演变成为基地组织（al-Qaeda），并计划了一系列恐怖袭击，包括1993年针对美国世界贸易中心的爆炸案。
从此之后，基地组织多次攻击美国利益，一直与美国保持着军事斗争和政治关系上的紧张。
此外，911袭击的发生时间也与2000年美国总统大选有关。
这一年，总统当选人乔治·W·布什（George W. Bush）宣誓要采取强硬的措施打击恐怖主义，并且加强了美国安全机构的力量，试图在国内和国际上维护美国的国家安全。
综上，911攻击发生在美国维护国家安全和打击国际恐怖主义的紧张时期。
这种紧张的气氛对恐怖分子来说是一个极其通过宣传和袭击施加压力的机会。
为什么选中911这一天911袭击是经过精心策划的行动。
策划者选择的这个日期有几个重要的原因。
第一，911是建筑学术语中的警报编号，表示紧急状态。
所以劫机者可能选择这一天，意味着要引起公众的注意并产生更大的影响力。
第二，阿拉伯教历的9月11日（即伊斯兰历9月23日）是一个重要的伊斯兰节日。
911改变了世界中英译文
“9. 11”事件前后泰-摩西As the ruins of the World Trade Towers smoldered at the southern end of Manhattan and the breez e stirred the ashes of thousands of human beings, a new age of anxiety was born. If someone had s lept through September 11 and awakened, Rip Van Winkle-like today, he would open his eyes on a n astonishing new landscape.1．世贸大厦双塔的废墟还在曼哈顿区南端闷燃，微风将几千人的身躯化成的灰烬吹起，一个新的焦虑时代由此开始。
如果有人在9月11日那天像瑞普?凡?温克尔那样恰好睡去，一觉醒来，眼前的这一派景象定让他瞠日结舌。
Guardsmen toting M-16s are stationed at our airports. The president of the United States attends a World Series game and the airspace over Yankee Stadium is closed, a line of snipers positioned on the stadium rooftop.

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.
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.
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.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New Y ork City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to 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.
The functions of our government continue 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 institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.
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.
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.
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.'
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.
Thank you. Good night and God bless America.。
