1. The connotation of the American DreamThe so-called American Dream has the broad and narrow sense, broad sense refers to the symbolic beauty of the American Dream. the Statue of Liberty Equality country, freedom, and democracy is a narrow believe that in the United States through the efforts of unremitting struggle You will be able to get a better life for you, that is, people must through their own hard work, courage, creativity, and determination to move towards prosperity, rather than rely on specific social class and the assistance of others. Usually this represents success or entrepreneurial spirit of the people in the economy. Many European immigrants hold over the American dream to the United States.in September 16, 1620, "Mayflower" carrying 102 passengers from the United Kingdom to the North American Air Plymouth MaoSiqi create colonies. November 11 that year, "Mayflower" in the United States today anchored in Provincetown, Massachusetts, developed under the auspices of the Puritans on board "" Mayflower "the Convention", signed 41 free adult man on the Convention, then ship to sail, on December 21 reached colonial settlements, which is today Plymouth, Massachusetts. These colonists based on “Mayflower”, “Convention" set up "citizen-government", the provisions of the Convention: "In order to better manage, maintain and develop the local government, in the future, the public interest at any time to develop and fulfill the just laws decrees and administrative, we ensure compliance and obedience. "2.The Origins of the American Dream Historythe "Great significance" Mayflower "Convention" that it laid the foundation for the rule of law in the United States, outlines the general framework legislation. People have not come ashore, we first agreed to build a rule of law in North America rather than the rule of man's social system, according to the will of the majority of the people rather than a few rulers or the will power to manage society. "" Mayflower "Convention" contribution to human civilization can be par 1215, Britain's "Great Charter," 1776 US "Declaration of Independence" and the 1789 French "Declaration of Human Rights." American scholars generally believe that "Declaration of Independence" is the foundation of the American dream, Statue of Liberty is a symbol of the American dream. "All men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This sentence has attracted men and women from around the world came to the United States to achieve their dreams. Various laws after "Declaration of Independence" as the Constitution established the American Dream has provided a guarantee rule of law, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to realize their dreams, a country without a good system, no matter how personal the dream difficult to realize.In American history, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain and countless other politicians, social activists, writers used the "American dream" word. Obama 2008 presidential campaign, one of his best-selling book "The Audacity of Hope: a reaffirmation of the American Dream," inspired many Americans, earned him a lot of votes.3. The Characteristics of the American dream.All kinds of individual American dream dreams pregnant with universality, that is, no matter how you came from, no matter what your background, if you work hard you can achieve your dreams. It is like the American writer Thomas Wolfe (Thomas Wolfe, 1900-1938) American dream explained: "No one, regardless of how he was born, no matter what kind of society he has status, but no matter what he has blessed opportunities . he's right to exist, the right to work, the rightto live from me, have the right according to their own innate and acquired conditions to become the person you want to be. "American Dream of spiritual pursuit far better than the pursuit of material. American historian James Tel Slobodan Adams (James Truslow Adams, 1878-1949) in the "American Epic" (Epic of America) wrote: "The American Dream is far more than substance category, the American dream is to allow individuals to . fully developed, self-realization, "he said:" the American dream is not a car, not a high salary, but a social order, in this order, and all men and women can achieve the maximum that can be achieved on the basis of their quality achievement and social recognition, regardless of his (her) birth, social background and social status.In summary, despite everyone's dream is different, but the American dream in common is the "democracy, freedom and human rights." "Democracy" is a political system, it is the American dream of soil; a country that does not have a good system, that nation can only do "Daydream", any good dream difficult to achieve.4. The way to achieve the American dream."Freedom" is to achieve the American dream the way, reflects the American dream of respect for the individual citizen as well as "people-oriented," the governing ideas; everyone can have their own dreams, you can use your favorite way to realize their dreams; no freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, freedom of procession, of demonstration, freedom to strike, freedom of religion, freedom of communication these freedoms, it is cut off by the dream of a bridge leading to a dream come true. "Human rights" is the American dream content, which includes the right to life, the right to education, the right to work, freedom of movement, the right to vote and to be elected and the right to criticize the government and the pursuit of happiness and the like.Of course, the American Dream is not static, nor is it perfect. Although the United States declared its independence in 1776, but until 1865 was the abolition of slavery until 1870 expressly granted black men the right to vote until 1920 before a predetermined state shall deprive women of the right to vote. At any time of the passage of time, as human self-awareness continues to improve, with the progress of human civilization, people pursue lifestyles and social patterns are changing.Just as the Famous black American civil rights activist Martin Luther King in the speech "I Have a Dream" which revealed the true meaning of the American dream: the American dream in the constitution, the American dream is the implementation of the Constitution, if not formulated constitution implementation , then desecrated the dignity of the Constitution.5. The meaning of social status.Usually it refers to members of the community-based differences in social property, and in social relationships and their relative positions around the rights and obligations of this position is formed.From a sociological theory, the so-called social status refers to any social position have the rights and obligations from the social point of view provides, whether this position is high or low social status of an individual in the system of social relations in which the position, whether this position is a natural formation or the formation of social division of labor needs. Employment is of course an important aspect of social status, social status but not mean employment, social status refers to a person in which the social life position, role and contribution to society. Indeed,to get social status, they must participate in social life, but there are paid to participate in social life and where people are free to participate in two social network location. Usually arranged according to social wealth, prestige, or power level of education and the amount taken. Relations of production is the foundation of all social relations, in a class society, the relations of production determined by the person's class status is a basic human social status. Everyone form a variety of social relations in certain society, they are likely to get a variety of social status. According to different criteria, we can put people's social status is divided into different grades sequences, such as class status, and political stat.6. The characteristics of social status.These social status staggered between each other, it is largely the same, generally can be summarized as ascribed status and is eligible for two types of self-position. The former refers to the innate fixed position, such as hereditary nobility, hereditary slavery, Father and Son and the like. The latter refers to the status acquired through efforts to obtain, such as professors, engineers, factory directors. Sociology attaches great importance to the status of the relationship between a variety of studies. The first is consistent with studies on the status and position contrary. Status means more consistent with the status of individuals have are now at roughly the same level, such as a person both high class status, educational status, occupational status. Social mobility and less hierarchical society, status consistency is strong. Position inconsistent contrary to personal status means a hierarchy of situations in different areas, such as a lower-class status have received a higher education status. Socio-economic status and social prestige status also have inconsistencies. Sociology is also very concerned about the problem of primacy, which refers to a person under circumstances unite inconsistent position, there is one of the most prominent position dominates other status, which determines the level of his overall position. In modern society, professional activities are often one of the most important activities of the main people to pay attention, so it is generally primacy.7. The meaning of social wealth.Social wealth means that workers in the production process created by having people use value of the product of labor; means of production into the community, areas of life has value and valuable substances. Social wealth, including natural resources, labor and product technology products and other forms of knowledge. Use value and value are two fundamental attributes of social wealth.The Meaning of wealth is related to economics. About Wealth economics, there are a variety of names, some call it material wealth, it was called natural wealth, it was called artificial wealth, was also known as wealth; explicitly wealth economics Marx called social wealth. The earliest definition of wealth to Xenophon possession useful to think of the good things, such as horses, sheep, land, and so is wealth. Obviously, this is only the wealth attributed to the use value. After Aristotle more clearly pointed out: "The real wealth is constituted by a useful value." He also said: “wealth is rich material which belongs to the family and the country's processed."8. The different categories of social wealth.In feudal society, the reality-based natural economy, people still insist on causing material wealth is the wealth of view. With commodity currencies economic development, capital relations also began to grow. Due to the large development of foreign trade generated mercantilist school, do not agree with the use value is the wealth of the traditional view that wealth is constituted by the currency or gold and silver. This is clearly understood as the exchangevalue wealth. Late mercantilists proposed dualistic concept of wealth, wealth that is considered both a man of wealth, but also natural wealth. As the seventeenth century Britain Thomas Meng said, the development of foreign trade, and strive to surplus, to make earn "human wealth" "was in the form of cash back to the country." At the same time he said: "Money is the life that trade" argument is wrong, not only because "the world has only a small amount of money in circulation when, had been large-scale trade exchange or replacement of the goods." Britain, France and later mercantilists as Mengkelieqin, also "on the one hand that monetary wealth. on the other hand, he said the country was not rich enough gold and silver, but it was the necessities of life .9.The Physiocrats view of social wealthWith the development of capitalism and the emergence of the Physiocrats, firmly opposed to merely exchange value understood as wealth, and wealth should put great emphasis on use value. They believe that the consumption of non-monetary gold and silver is not real wealth, can only consume pure agricultural products is the real wealth. As Physiocrats Quesnay wrote: "A nation's wealth is not determined by the total amount of monetary wealth"; "wealth is the source of human subsistence." Said: "As a commodity crop of view, is a combination of monetary wealth and physical wealth." Further development of classical economics, but also abandoned the physiocrats view. Its master of Adam Smith, the wealth that is only understood as the value of social wealth, and that is understood as the use-value material wealth. The so-called material wealth, he was referring to enjoy life for the "necessities, conveniences and entertainment products," or is the product of years of productive sectors. Smith's views on wealth have clearly dualistic nature. After the completion of classical economics by Ricardo and Say around Smith's definition of wealth dispute, split on one end of dualism. Say assertion that Smith believed that wealth is only "by the constitution or the value of material objects and not by itself constitute a material object," and asserts that "wealth and value proportional are the same to." Although he insisted Smith's definition of social wealth, it does not agree with Smith's labor theory of value.10. The meaning of the middle class.Generally refers to the middle class economic status, political and social status of cultural point of view, they were in the middle stage of the level of society, which is a seemingly clear, but in reality vague definition. The middle class (or middle class), refers to people of low levels of "physiological needs and security needs" are met, and moderate levels of "emotional needs and esteem needs" has been well met, but not the pursuit of high-level " self-actualization needs "class (or classes); Because the family is the cell of society, and most people's wealth is owned by the family as a unit, so the middle class consists of" middle-class families "component.The Middle class, mostly engaged in mental, physical or technology base, mainly by wages and salaries to make a living, generally well-educated, professional knowledge and strong professional capability and the corresponding family spending power; have some free time, the pursuit of life the quality of its work, the work of the object generally has a certain power and control over the management. At the same time, most of them have good citizenship, civic awareness and appropriate training. In other words, the economic status, political and social status of cultural point of view, they were in the middle stage the level of society.11. The meaning and characteristics of class.The social class is developed to a certain stage of production, namely, the production has been developed yet underdeveloped product. The nature of the class is that it is specific to therelations of production and linked, on the status of the economy in different social groups or community groups. The class is divided into different positions and different relationships forged by people who live in a specific socio-economic structure of the decision. Divided according to the number of people owning property: by the rich class, middle class and poor class composition. After being diluted class theory, Chinese social circles with social class instead of class this term.Class features: class is an economic category. Class is an economic category, the first refers to the class of human society is a certain community of social production system formed in the possession of relations of production is the most essential characteristics of the class, the rest of the features are derived from this essential feature , this is the inherent nature of class prescriptive.Class is a historical category. Human society is not never had class, "the existence of classes is only a certain historical stage of development of production linked" with the productivity of both the development of certain development but not fully appropriate to the circumstances.。

十大经典英文励志演讲稿
In the presence of great forces arrayed against me, I have not weakened the courage of my spirit. I have never faltered in the face of adversity.I have never allowed the fear of failure to deter me from my path. Forit is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.2. "I Have a Dream" - Martin Luther King Jr.---I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in anation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children willone day live in a world where all people will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at last!"3. "You Have the Power to Change the World" - Jane GoodallYou have the power to change the world. I see it every day in the young people I meet, all over the world. You have the power to change the world, to be the change you want to see. It is not just about what you can do, but what you can inspire others to do. It is not just about what you can achieve, but what you can help others achieve. We need your energy, your creativity, your vision. We need you to be the leaders of the future. You have the power to make a difference. You have the power to change the world.4. "We Shall Overcome" - Martin Luther King Jr.---We shall overcome, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. We shall overcome, because love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. We shall overcome, because justice will roll down like waters and righteousness like anever-flowing stream. We shall overcome, because we have the strength of millions of people standing together, united in our cause. We shall overcome, because we have the power of truth on our side. We shall overcome, because we have the power of love in our hearts. We shall overcome, because we have the power of history on our side. We shall overcome.5. "I Will Not Yield" - Susan B. Anthony---I will not be a party to the destruction of my sex. I will not be aparty to the subjugation of one-fifth of the people of this country. I will not be a party to the disfranchisement of one-tenth of the population. I will not be a party to the ignoring of the rights of women.I will not yield. I will not be deterred. I will not be silenced. I will continue to speak out for the rights of women, for the equality of all human beings, and for the betterment of society. For I believe that in the end, justice will prevail, and the rights of all will be recognized and protected.6. "The Power of One" - Archbishop Desmond Tutu---The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Each one of us is a link in the chain of humanity. Each one of us has the power to make a difference. It is not because of what we have, but because of what we can do, that we are truly rich. The power of one is the power of the individual to make a difference. The power of one is the power of the individual to change the world. We must all work together to create a better world, a world where all people can live in peace and harmony, a world where all people can realize theirfull potential.7. "The Audacity of Hope" - Barack Obama---The future is not a gift. It is an opportunity and it is an opportunity for all of us to shape the world in which we live. We have the power to make it a better place. We have the audacity to hope that we can change the world for the better. We have the audacity to believe that together we can solve the problems that confront us. We have the audacity to believe that we can build a more perfect union. We have the audacity to believe that out of many, we are one. We have the audacity to believethat this nation is great enough to handle the truth and that thisnation is good enough to be true.8. "As We Move Forward" - Nelson Mandela---As we move forward, let us never forget that justice is what love looks like in public. Let us remember that the true measure of our progress is not merely the height of our buildings or the size of our bank accounts, but the extent to which our fellow human beings can rise to the bestthat is in themselves. Let us continue to build bridges of understanding, to break down walls of division, and to work together to create a world that is just, peaceful, and prosperous for all.9. "The Greatest Salesman in the World" - Og Mandino---I will live this day as if it is my last. I will remember that life is given to me, not to be taken for granted. I will learn to live each moment as it comes. I will not waste my days in expectation of a future that may never come. I will live for today, for tomorrow is in God's hands. I will be grateful for the love and friendship of those around me.I will not allow the bitterness of the past to control my future. I will be kind to all, for I know that kindness is the only way to break the cycle of hate. I will be patient with myself, for I am a human being,not a human doing. I will make the best of today, for I know that today is all I have.10. "The Pursuit of Happyness" - Chris Gardner---You have to be able to take the blows, the setbacks, the bad times, and still have the strength to keep moving forward. I have learned that you have to be willing to work harder than anyone else, and to be willing to take the risks that others are afraid to take. You have to be willing to fail, and to fail over and over again, until you finally succeed. But most importantly, you have to believe in yourself, and you have to believe that you can achieve your dreams. Because if you believe in yourself, and you are willing to work hard, then you will find a way to make your dreams come true. The pursuit of happiness is not just a dream; it is a journey, and it is one that we all have the power to undertake.。

59.The Audacity of Hope 有希望则无所畏惧1. On behalf of the great state of Illinois, crossroad s of a nation, Land of Lincoln, let me express my deepest gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention. Tonight is a particular honor for me because, let's face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father-my grandfather-was a cook,a domestic servant to the British.1.今晚我将在这里代表（on behalf of）伟大的伊利诺伊州来向大会发表演讲，为此我感到无上荣幸(privilege)。
众所周知，伊利诺伊州是全国的交通枢纽(crossroads)，林肯总统的发祥地(ladn)。
另外，我能够站在讲台上向全党的代表发言实在是有点受宠若惊，(particular honor)因为坦率地讲，这对我而言几乎是做梦都想不到的事情。
请允许我先从我的出身讲起，我的父亲是个外国留学生，他土生土长在肯尼亚的一个小村庄，他从小在那里放羊，在简陋的铁皮顶小屋里上学。
他的父亲，也就是我的爷爷，是一位为别人做饭的家庭佣工(domestic servant)。
2. But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place, America, that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. While studying here, my father met my mother. She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor my grandfather signed up for duty; joined Patton's army, marched across Europe. Back home, my grandmother raised a baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through F.H.A., and later moved west all the way to Hawaii in search of opportunity.2.但是我爷爷不想让我父亲步其后尘，他对我的父亲有着更大的期许和梦想。
艰辛的努力和顽强的毅力(perseverance)使我父亲拿到了到美国留学的奖学金(scholarship)。
于是我父亲漂洋过海，来到了美国这片神奇的国土。
美国是自由的灯塔，她给予了早年来这里闯世界的人大量的机会。
在留学期间，我父亲遇到了我母亲。
我母亲出生在堪萨斯的一个小镇上，这里和肯尼亚分属地球的两端。
我的外祖父在大萧条时期(through most of the Depression)为了养家糊口，不是在石油钻井架下打工，就是在农场务农。
珍珠港事件后他自愿入伍(sign up for duty)，进入巴顿将军的部队，曾在整个欧洲大陆辗转作战。
在后方家中，外祖母养育着他们的孩子，并在一条轰炸机流水线上工作。
战后，他们研究了《退伍军人权利法案bill》，通过联邦住宅管理局提供的贷款买了一套房子，并移居到美国西部的夏威夷，以寻找更好的发展机会。
3. And they, too, had big dreams for their daughter. A common dream, born of two continents. My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or "blessed," believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagine d me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren't rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential. They're both passed away now. And yet, I know that on this night they look down on me with great pride.3.他们对我的母亲也有着同样的期许和梦想。
这是一个来自两个大洲的共同梦想。
我的父母不但共同享受着来自父母们无以复加(improbable)的爱，他们也笃信(an abiding faithi不变的信念)在美国这个国家一切皆有可能（possibility）。
他们赐予我一个非洲名字，巴拉克，意为“受神福佑的(blessed)”。
他们相信在宽容大度的美国(a tolerant America)，一个人的名字不是通向成功的障碍(barrier)。
尽管生活并不富裕，但他们还是想让我去最好的学校接受最好的教育，因为在慷慨大方的美国(a generous America)，一个人即使不富裕也能淋漓尽致地发挥他的潜能(potential)。
现在他们都过世了。
不过我知道，在这个夜晚，他们正满怀骄傲(with great pride)自天堂注视着我(look down on me)。
4. They stand here and I stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents' dreams live on in my two precious daughters. I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible. Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscraper s, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago," We hold these truth s to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."4.今天他们站在这里，我站在这里，为我血液里流淌着多样遗传基因而满怀感激，我知道我父母的梦想正在我的两个宝贝(precious)女儿身上延续(live on)。
我站在这里，知道我的故事是更宏大的美国故事集里的一部分，也知道我应该感激那些在我之前来到这里的先辈们，更知道我的故事在这个世界的任何其他地方都不可能发生。
今晚，我们欢聚一堂，更加坚定地相信我们国家的伟大，这个伟大并不在于(不是因为)我们的摩天大楼(skyscraper)有多高，也不在于我们的军备（military）实力有多强，更不在于我们的经济规模有多大。
我们对这个伟大的国家的自豪感建筑在一个相当简单的前提(premise)之上，用两百多年前先辈们写就的《独立宣言》里的话概括起来(sum up)就是：“我们坚信以下真理(truth)不言而喻(self-evident)：人人生而平等。
造物主赋予(endow)他们某些不可剥夺的(inalienable)权利，包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。
”5.That is the true genius of America, a faith in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles; that we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm; that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door; that we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe; that we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our vote s will be counted-at least most of the time. 5.这就是美国的本质(genius)之所在：我们对简单梦想的无比信任，我们对生命中小小奇迹(miracle)的执着追求。
