英语演讲稿-林肯
Emily/Canon 2012.12.26 An inspiring person to me(about five minutes) Ladies and gentlemen: Good morning! Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of America, possessed a legendary life and exerted a tremendous inspiration on me. It is his story that motivated me and encouraged me when adversities come to me. From him, I come to realize that if one can do something by persistence, then he or she will be extraordinary and succeed sooner or later. Now please allow me to briefly tell you about him. At the age of 22, he suffered a lot from his business, which made him awfully disappointed. Then he turned his mind into being a politician. Unfortunately, without enough economic funding and reputation, he failed again. Defeated twice in one year, he was undoubtedly painful. Subsequently, he decided to run for the election of state legislator for the second time, this time, he succeeded. From then on, he grew a hope that maybe he would rapidly go up in the world. Sadly, another misfortune fell on him after several years, his wife, as well as his spiritual support, passed away because of illness. This might be an extreme shock to him and he was next to collapsed. In 1843, he lost again in his election of American representatives. However, instead of being despair, Abraham Lincoln overcame his depression and turned it into a motivation which eventually led him to become arguably one of the greatest presidents in America. Moreover, he got over constant ridicule during the Civil War even when he was a president. But he never became dejected because of it. Actually, Abraham Lincoln could have given up every time he suffered.But, he faced up to all the difficulties with a brave heart anda strong will. He was one of those who not only looked adversity in an optimistic way but also learned valuable lessons on overcoming difficult circumstances and were able to move ahead. It inspires me a lot. As we all know, 800-meter-race is the necessary item to be tested in every semester, lacking adequate exercise, I always can’t finish the whole race. Since I learned more about Lincoln, every time I want to give up half way, his deeds will linger in my mind, this always supports me to achieve my goals. Never give up and everything is promising. No quitting, so winning. It is the perseverance that keeps bright the key to the door of achievement so we have no reason but to persist in everything we are doing. As Abraham Lincoln himself said, “I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.” Facing up difficulties, he didn’t hang back or run away, but hold on and fight for it instead. He had never thought how he should do if he failed again, but just kept on. There is no doubt that Abraham Lincoln is so great that he could inspire us all our life. No matter what time, no matter what may happen, I will never allow myself to give up. This spirit, will become my lifelong navigation. Thank you for your attention.
林肯竞选总统的演讲稿
美国总统林肯演讲稿 inaugural speech by abraham lincoln march 4th 1861 speech： i do not consider it necessary at present for me to discuss those matters of administration about which there is no special anxiety or excitement. apprehension seems to exist among the people of the southern states that by the accession of a republican administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. there has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection. it is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you. i do but quote from one of those speeches when i declare that: i have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. i believe i have no lawful right to do so, and i have no inclination to do so. those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that i had made this and many similar declarations and had never recanted them; and more than this, they placed in the platform for my acceptance, and as a law to themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic resolution which i now read: resolved, that the maintenance inviolate of the rights of the states, and especially the right of each state to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend; and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any state or territory, no matter what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes. i now reiterate these sentiments, and in doing so i only press upon the public attention the most conclusive evidence of which the case is there is much controversy about the delivering up of fugitives from service or labour. the clause i now read is as plainly written in the constitution as any other of its provisions: no person held to service or labour in one state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in consequence of any law or regulation therein be discharged from such service or labour, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labour may be due. there is some difference of opinion whether this clause should be enforced by national or by state authority, but surely that difference is not a very material one. if the slave is to be surrendered, it can be of but little consequence to him or to others by which authority it is done. and should anyone in any case be content that his oath shall go un-kept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept? again: in any law upon this subject ought not all the safeguards of liberty known in civilized and humane jurisprudence to be introduced, so that a free man be not in any case surrendered as a slave? and might it not be well at the same time to provide

I am honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. 今天，我很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。说实话，（虽然）我从来没有从大学中毕业，但今天是我生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。不说大道理，就是三个故事而已。 The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。 I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? 我在里德学院读了六个月之后就退学了，但是在十八个月以后，我还经常去学校。我为什么要退学呢？ It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do
Abraham Lincoln 林肯人物简介,英文版
Abraham Lincoln, an Influential President in the American History Name:李亚君 Number:111206123
Abraham Lincoln, an Influential President in the American History The United States of America is a country with a president system. The president of USA is not only head of the state and the government, but also administrative departments of the supreme leader and army commander, usually called Mr.President. There are 44 presidents in the history of the United States. Abraham Lincoln is the 16th one who maintained the unity of the nation and abolished the slavery that influenced the nation much. He is the first Republican president and also ranked among the greatest president ranked first. USA once held a poll in 2005--"the greatest Americans", Lincoln was elected America figure of second. He is one of the most popular presidents. On February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in a poor family in Hardin County in Kentucky prefecture. His parents are descendants of British immigrants, taking farming and hunting.When he was young, he helped the family move firewood, water, do farm work and so on.In 1816, Lincoln's family moved to Indiana Southwest. At his age of 9, his mother died who was just 36 years old. Second years, his father married a kindness and enlightened woman named Sarah Bush, and the family lived happily. Because of poverty, his education degree wasn't high. In order to earn money, he was a ferry worker on the Ohio River and a plantation worker when he was young. Lincoln is a man who loves reading. At his young age, he read all the writings of Shakespeare and "American history", also read lots of books about history and literature.He became a learned and wisdom man through self-study. He ran for state senator that meant he embarked on a political road since 1832. Finally he was elected president in 1860. In the 28 years, he has undergone a lot of difficulties that normal people cannot imagine. Eight elections, eight voted out, twice failed in business, and even once mental collapse, many times, he could give up, but he didn't. Just because of not giving up, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America.The teacher of the revolution Marx highly evaluated Lincoln, "he is a man who will not be scared by difficulties, not to confuse for success, he refuse to be cowed or submit to his great goal, but never act rashly and blindly, he steadily forward, and never back;...... In a word, he is a rare character that achieved the great realm and still maintained his excellent quality". Owing to his view of abolishing slavery, Lincoln's election, threatened the benefits of the Southern plantation owners. They certainly don't want a man who advocates the abolition of slavery as their president. Then the Civil War broke out in 1861. At the beginning of the war, Lincoln tried to seek the policy that compromised with the Southern plantation owners. With the military losing ground, Lincoln realized that to abolish slavery truly, there must have sacrifice, peaceful means can not solve any problems. If they want to win the war, they must transfer the enthusiasm of farmers, abolish the slavery, and liberate black slaves .In 1862 May, Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. This measure eliminated the possibility of southern slave owners to seize the western land fundamentally, but also met the urgent needs of the peasants, greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers to participate in. On January 1, 1863,

Now, we are engaged in a great Civil War,testing whether that Nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who gave their lives that Nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here,have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

林肯的小故事8个
林肯的小故事8个 林肯的小故事 林肯的小故事（一）： 林肯的小故事:林肯回击青年的污蔑 有一次，林肯总统正在演讲，突然一个青年递给他一张纸条。林肯打开一看，上面只有两个字：“傻瓜”。林肯脸上掠过一丝阴云，随即镇定地说了一番话，就有力地反驳了这一污蔑。 本总统收到过许多匿名信，全部只有正文，不见署名，而这天正好相反，刚才这位先生只署上了自己的名字，却忘了给我写信。”说完，便继续他的演讲。 林肯的小故事（二）： 林肯的小故事:林肯的辩护 美国的第16任总统林肯在从政之前，曾是一位优秀的律师。他在法庭上的机智是有口皆碑的，有一次，竟一言不发击败了原告律师。 在法庭上，原告律师先发言，把一个简单的论据翻来覆去讲了两个小时，讲得听众都不耐烦了。台下一片嗡嗡声，有人竟打起瞌睡。之后是林肯上台替被告辩护。只见他走上讲台，一言不发。台下嗡嗡声没了，大家感到很奇怪。林肯等了一会儿，先把外衣脱下，放在桌上，然后拿起玻璃杯喝一口水，又把玻璃杯放下，重新穿上外衣；然后又把外衣脱下，又喝水，这样敢复了五六次。屋里的听众被林肯的哑剧逗笑了，有的竟笑得死去活来。而林肯竟始终一言不发，在一片笑声中走下讲台，他的对手就这样被笑输了。 又作为律师，一言不发打赢官司是十分罕见的。原告律师已经把听众搞得不耐烦了，林肯如果再长篇大论，效果是可想而知的。他的高明之处，即
在于以哑剧的方式攻击对手的弱点。 林肯的小故事（三）： 林肯的小故事 又有—次，—个妇人来找林肯，她理直气壮地说：“总统先生，你—定要给我儿子—个上校的职位。我们就应有这样的权利，因为我的祖父曾参加过雷新顿战役，我的叔父在布拉敦斯堡是惟—没有逃跑的人，而我的父亲又参加过纳奥林斯之战，我丈夫是在曼特莱战死的，所以……”林肯回答说：“夫人，你们—家三代为国服务，对国家的贡献实在够多了，我深表敬意。此刻你能不能给别人—个为国效命的机会？”那妇人无话可说，只好悄悄走了。 有人认为林肯对待政敌的态度不够强硬，对他说：“你为什么要让他们成为朋友呢？你就应想办法消灭他们才对。”“我难道不是在消灭政敌吗？当我使他们成为我的朋友时，政敌就不存在了。”林肯温和地说。 青年时代的林肯在伊利诺斯州的圣加蒙加入民兵。上校指挥官是—个矮个子，身高只有四英尺多—点，而林肯的身材个性高大，大大超过指挥官。由于林肯自己觉得身材高，他习惯于垂着头、弯着腰走路。上校看见他那弯腰曲背的姿势十分生气，把他找来训斥—顿。 “听着，阿伯，”上校大声喊道：“把头高高地抬起来，你这家伙！” “遵命，先生。”林肯恭敬地回答。 “还要再抬高点。”上校说。 “是不是要我永远这个样貌？”林肯问道。 “当然啦，你这家伙，这还用问吗？”上校冒火啦。

最新-林肯演讲稿中文 林肯第二次就职演讲(中文) 精品
林肯演讲稿中文林肯第二次就职演讲(中文) 可是现在,四年任期刚刚结束,在这期间,关于那至今仍吸引着举国上下的注意,消耗着全民的精力的巨大斗争的各个阶段的任何一个细节,随时都有公告发奉,现在也实在再没有多少新东西可讲了.关于我们的军事进展情况——它是其它一切的主要依靠所在——,公众也了解得和我本人一样清楚；而且我相信对所有的人来说都是相当满意和令人鼓舞的. 既然对未来充满了希望,那么在这里也就无意冒昧作出预测了.也正是在四年之前我就任总统的那一场合,所有的人都在为即将来临的内战惴惴不安. 所有的人都害怕内战——都竭力想避免内战发生.而当我在这里发表就职演说,决定不惜采用一切力量,但不用战争,拯救联邦的时候,叛乱分子的人却在全城到处活动,力求不用战争摧毁联邦——力求通过谈判瓦解联邦,分裂国家. ——双方都声称反对战争；但可是他们中的一方却宁愿发动战争也不让这个国家生存下去；另一方也则宁可接受战争也不能眼看着国家灭亡.于是战争便打起来了. 在全国人口中有八分之一是黑人奴隶,他们并非遍布在全国各地,而是大部分集中在我国南方.这些黑人构成一个特殊强有力的权益. 大家都知道这权益是导致战争的原因.为了达到加强、永久化保持和扩大这个权益的目的,叛乱分子甚至不惜通过战争瓦解联邦；而政府方面,只不过是要求有权限制奴隶制扩大其地域. 双方谁也没有料想到,战争竟会达到现在已出现了这种规模,或持续这么久.双方谁也不曾料到,冲突的缘由可能会随着冲突的结束而结束,或甚至在冲突本身结束之前,便已终止；每一方都寻求能比较轻易地获得胜利,战争的结果也不那么带有根本性和惊人. 双方都读着同一部《圣经》,祈祷于同一个上帝；每一方都求上帝帮助他们一方,而反对另一方.这看来也许有些不可思议,怎么可能有人公然敢于祈求公正的上帝帮助他从别人的血汗中榨取面包；不过,我们且不要论断别人,以免自己遭到论断吧. 双方的祈祷都不可能得到回应；任何一方的祈祷也没有得到充分的回应.全能的上帝另有他自己的目标.
