Inaugural Address of President John F

Inaugural Address of President John F

这篇演讲词的条理贫明,框架清晰,独具匠心的语篇结构是其一大特色。

整个语篇框架粗略可以分为两部分。

前半部分是从第一段到第二十段;后半部分是文章的剩余部分。

前半部分主要是向全世界其它国家宣扬美国对它们的外交策略、政治观点、政治立场和政治态度;后半部分则是号召鼓舞美国国内人民团结一致,做好长期斗争的准备,共同对敌,捍卫自由和保卫美国所推崇以及在全世界推行的政治理想、政治信念。

其中前半部分又被清楚明了地分为两个部分,分界线是第十一段。

此段承上启下,标志着前半部分的第一部分的结束和其第二部分的开始。

前半部分的第一部分是他作为总统代表美国对世界上那些与美国为友的国家作出保证;而其第二部分则是对世界上那些与美国为敌的国家提出要求。

前半部分的第一部分(第一段到第十一段)的内部衔接主要是依靠一组排比结构来实现的。

这组排比句是这一部分各个段落联接的主要纽带,使这一部分意义连贯,表达清晰,使演讲者在交际过程中所要表达的意图贯穿整个部分。

这一组排比句中的每句的位置都是在各段的开头,每句的句法结构大致相同,都是将由to作为介词的介宾短语放在句首,后面都是主语 + 谓语 + 宾语的结构。

不仅形成了结构的排比、结构的重复,而且在这些排比中还结合运用了词汇的重复这种修辞手段,“we”和“pledge”在这组排比中重复出现了六次。

这组排比句作为这一部分的衔接手段,主要的联结纽带,使这部分各段意义连贯,成为一个整体,清楚明了地表明这一部分主要是向那些对美国友好的各种不同类型的国家、团体机构作出许诺保证,宣布以约翰肯尼迪为首的新一届美国政府对它们的政策。

此外,排比还是一种句法修饰手段。

所以作者在这里使用这一组排比可谓~举两得,既是一种衔接手段将这部分联结成一个整体,又是一种修辞手法,应用在这里,使意思层层递进,增强了演讲词的气势,表达了强烈的感情,突出了强调的内容。

也由于排比甸式整齐,节奏分明,使演讲词读起来韵律分明,铿锵有力,展现了新任总统排山倒海的气魄。

肯尼迪就职演讲稿今天我们庆祝的不是政党的胜利,而是自由的胜利。

这象征着一个结束,也象征着一个开端;意味着延续也意味着变革。

因为我已在你们和全能的上帝面前,宣读了我们的先辈在170年前拟定的庄严誓言。

现在的世界已大不相同了。

人类的巨手掌握着既能消灭人间的各种贫困,又能毁灭人间的各种生活的力量。

但我们的先辈为之奋斗的那些革命信念,在世界各地仍然有着争论。

这个信念就是人的权利并非来自国家的慷慨,而是来自上帝恩赐。

今天,我们不敢忘记我们是第一次革命的继承者。

让我们的朋友和敌人同样听见我此时此地的讲话:火炬已经传给新一代美国人。

这一代人在本世纪诞生,在战争中受过锻炼,在艰难困苦的和平时期受过陶冶,他们为我国悠久的传统感到自豪——他们不愿目睹或听任我国一向保证的、今天仍在国内外作出保证的人权渐趋毁灭。

让每个国家都知道——不论它希望我们繁荣还是希望我们衰落一为确保自由的存在和自由的胜利,我们将付出任何代价,承受任何负担,应付任何艰难,支持任何朋友,反抗任何敌人。

这些就是我们的保证——而且还有更多的保证。

对那些和我们有着共同文化和精神渊源的老盟友,我们保证待以诚实朋友那样的忠诚。

我们如果团结一致,就能在许多合作事业中无往不胜:我们如果分歧对立,就会一事无成——因为我们不敢在争吵不休、四分五裂时迎接强大的挑战。

对那些我们欢迎其加入到自由行列中来的新国家,我们恪守我们的誓言:决不让一种更为残酷的暴-政来取代一种消失的殖民统治。

(本文章转载/fanwen/1541/)我们并不总是指望他们会支持我们的观点。

但我们始终希望看到他们坚强地维护自己的自由——而且要记住,在历史上,凡愚蠢地狐假虎威者,终必葬身虎口。

对世界各地身居茅舍和乡村,为摆脱普遍贫困而斗争的人们,我们保证尽最大努力帮助他们自立,不管需要花多长时间——之所以这样做,并不是因为共-产-党可能正在这样做,也不是因为我们需要他们的选票,而是因为这样做是正确的。

Kennedy: Inaugural AddressVice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens:We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life.

We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom and to remember that, in the past, those whofoolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.。

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.Abstracted from John F.

Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You speech
Inaugural Address by John F. Kennedy
January 20th 1961
Introduction
On a frigid Winter's day, January 20, 1961, John Fitzgerald Kennedy took the oath of office as the 35th President of the United States. At age 43, he was the youngest man and the first Roman Catholic ever elected. He had won by one of the smallest margins of victory, only 115,000 popular votes. This is the speech he delivered announcing the dawn of a new era as young Americans born in the 20th century first assumed leadership of the Nation.
This much we pledge - and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do - for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe. . .the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution.
JFK's Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961, 12:11 EST
We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom. . . symbolizing an end as well as a beginning. . .signifying renewal as well as change for I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.
To our sister republics south of our border: we offer a special pledge. . . to convert our good words into good deeds. . .in a new alliance for progress . . .to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. . .and let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.
the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery: we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselห้องสมุดไป่ตู้es, for whatever period is required. . .not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
Let the word go forth from this time and place. . .to friend and foe alike. . . that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans. . . born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage. . .and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today. . .at home and around the world.
Let every nation know. . .whether it wishes us well or ill. . . that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge. . .and more.
Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversaries, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace; before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course. . .both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of Mankind's final war.
So let us begin anew. . .remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms. . .and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations. Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and
To that world assembly of sovereign states: the United Nations. . . our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support. . .to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective. . .to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak. . . and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.
commerce. Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah. . .to "undo the heavy burdens. . . let the oppressed go free."
