thirdly, kennedy was an eloquent speaker. he is specially trained. this speechis very powerful and wonderful. he lays his emphasis on the successful appeals tothe emotion of the listeners. for example,1.highly rhetorical ---parallelism,antithesis, metaphor, simile, metonymy, hyperbole, alliteration. 2. invoking thename of god, the use of biblical style. 3. use of key abstract words: faith, devotion, freedom,liberty, courage, loyalty, belief, these abstractions are impossible to defineprecisely, conquer, dare, which are inspiring and emotional. barack obamas victory speech also has some features. thirdly, lexical features. in order to adapt the message to the particularaudience being addressed, there seems to be a tendency for the speaker to inclinehis/her language toward the relatively less formal, less rigid ways of speaking,making reference to himself/ herself, introducing humor, asking for direct response fromthe audience, or using some colloquial items or idioms, even some dialect words, toappear “closer”to his/her audience. public speech is careful about of words. ittends to use words accurate and clear in meaning. for instance: there will be setbacksand false starts. there are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy imake as president, and we know that government can’t solve every problem. but i willalways be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you,especially when we disagree. and above all, i will ask you join in the work of remakingthis nation the only way it’s been done in america for two-hundred and twenty-oneyears – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.英语09-4 李俊欣篇二：肯尼迪就职演说评析阅读翻译注释首席法官先生，艾森豪威尔威尔总统，尼克松副总统，杜鲁门总统，尊敬的神父，同胞们；我们今天庆祝的不是一次政党的胜利而是庆祝自由精神的胜利 - 这不仅象征结束–这还象征开始–意味着更新–也意味着变革。
美国总统奥巴马的就职演讲(中英双语)
美国总统奥巴马的就职演讲《Change Has Come To America》《美国的变革时代已经到来》Hello, Chicago.芝加哥的市民们，你们好！If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.如果还有人对在美国是否凡事皆有可能这一点存疑，还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活，还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，这些问题都有了答案。
这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案，其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样，认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。
It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案－－无论老少贫富，无论是民主党还是共和党，无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民，是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人－－我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营，我们是美利坚合众国这个整体，永远都是。
1.Speech
奥巴马胜选演讲Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come.I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that. Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Gov. Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more. Ihave never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady. Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom. And I’m so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now one dog’s probably enough.To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics. The best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning. But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley. You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you put in.I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else.You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who’s working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. You’ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who’s working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.That’s why we do this. That’s what politics can be. That’s why elections matter. It’s not small, it’s big. It’s important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.That won’t change after tonight, and it shouldn’t. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future. We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers. A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this –this world has ever known. But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrant’s daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag. To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner. To the furniture worker’s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president –that’s the future we hope for. That’s the vision we share. That’s where we need to go –forward. That’s where we need to go. Comment:This is a piece of Obama’s victory speech. It takes advantage of too much parallelism, which makes the speech powerful and eloquent. It also uses comparison, “the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope”, this strong contrastreflects American people’s struggling and solid spirit. In the speech, Obama points out the hardship of the road, thinks highly of American people’s great, promises to try his best to construct the country. In addition, he also expresses deep appreciation to his backers, opponents, friends, partners, families, campaign team, volunteers and so on. He has a strong faith in a generous, compassionate, tolerant America where can achieve every common people’s dream. He hopes he can play a significant part in building a prosperous and beautiful America.。
肯尼迪就职演讲与奥巴马对比
President Kennedy was an excellent speaker and writer. Kennedy’s speech object is global, does not only aimed at the American citizen, moreover in view of international judgment. He applied various historic. Such as, alleles, repetition, alliteration, antithesis, metaphor, synecdoche. And he used the first person, let people in the same standpoint, feel comfortable, so make it easy to win their support. He aroused American’s sense of pride and responsibility. In his address, we can learn the political, social, cultural situation at that moment and appreciate the art of his language.Firstly, Kennedy’s victory is all the people’s victory. ―We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning--signif ying renewal, as well as change…‖ Kennedy emphasized that he become the president of America is not only a victory of a party but also reflect the celebration of freedom. It symbolizing a new start which fulfill hope, freedom and equal rights.Secondly, the new generations advocate freedom, equal rights and peace.―…We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place... and to which we are committed today at home and around the world…‖The United States had made huge profits in the Second World War. As a result, the post-war years saw a degree of prosperity of capitalist economy. The relation between capital and labor became less intense. There was a relative peace. As to the new generation, few of them have been influenced by the old doctrine of pre-world war，they witness the tragedy of war and the power of the nucleus. Americans are free—free to express to create, and ideally, to solve problems, and expect to make the world a better place. They rose with a respect, recognition for and expectation of continued freedom; they have immense freedom and their ancient people fought to have freedom.Thirdly,Kennedy was an eloquent speaker. He is specially trained. This speech is very powerful and wonderful. He lays his emphasis on the successful appeals to the emotion of the listeners. For example,1.Highly rhetorical ---parallelism, antithesis, metaphor, simile, metonymy, hyperbole, alliteration. 2. Invoking the name of God, theuse of biblical style. 3. Use of key abstract words: faith, devotion, freedom, liberty, courage, loyalty, belief, These abstractions are impossible to define precisely, conquer, dare, which are inspiring and emotional.Barack Obama's Victory Speech also has some features.Firstly, related information of Obama and his Victory speech. Obama was born in Hawaii, and his father was a student from Kenya while his mother was a white Kansas. Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard University, and for the first time in 1996, he was elected Illinois senator while, in 2004, for the first time elected as a Senator, to become the U.S. Congress in the history of the 5th session of Congress—the only black senator. In July 2004, the convening of the Democratic Party National Congress, Obama has been designated to do the next day, ―the keynote speech.‖, which is the Democrats on the party’s program and policy statements, usually by the party’s most promising political star to make. Obama delivered the speech he wrote and published an impassioned speech. In his speech, he proposed the elimination of differences between political parties and ethnic differences, ―a U.S.‖dream.Secondly, grammatical features. We know that casual speech tends to use short sentences. But a glance at Oba ma’s speech reveals that its sentences vary much in length. there are many paragraphs only including one sentence. Though there can be several clauses in a longer sentence, they mainly come after the main sentence, which presents no great difficulty for the audience to comprehend. There are no incomplete sentences. These characteristics show the double traits of public speaking: it is formal as is required of written language, and it is yet not difficult to understand at the time of its delivery as is required of the spoken mode. For example: She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.Thirdly, Lexical features. In order to adapt the message to the particular audience being addressed, there seems to be a tendency for the speaker to incline his/her language toward the relatively less formal, less rigid ways of speaking, makingreference to himself/ herself, introducing humor, asking for direct response from the audience, or using some colloquial items or idioms, even some dialect words, to appear “closer”to his/her audience. Public speech is careful about of words. It tends to use words accurate and clear in meaning. For instance: There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years –block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.英语09-4 李俊欣。

”"It’s easy to lose sight of that truth in the day-to-day back-and-forth of Washington and our minute-to-minute news cycles. But remember that America is a story told over a longer time horizon, in fits and starts, punctuated at times by hardship, but ultimately written by generations of citizens who’ve somehow worked together, without fanfare, to form a more perfect union."“在日夜交替的华盛顿和生生不息的新闻界，很容易忽视那一事实。

Speech If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. 美国是否暗藏一切皆有可能的巨大潜力？美国是否已经实现开国者锻造的美国梦？民主信仰是否具有强大力量？如果还有人对此报以怀疑，那么今晚这里发生的一切就是答案。
学校旁、教堂边，无数人都在排队投票，这一情景我们已经多年未见；3个小时、4个小时，他们为此而等候良久，这是很多同胞有生以来的第一次。因为他们相信，这一次，将不同以往；这一次，因为他们的呼声而有所不同。
无论老少贫富，无论共和党抑或民主党，不管是黑皮肤、白种人、拉丁后裔、亚裔子孙还是本土美国人；无论性向如何，不管健康抑或残疾，所有的美国人民都向全世界传递出这样一条信息：我们从来都不是红蓝阵营的政治堆砌，我们是，而且永远是，美利坚合众国。
长期以来，很多人缺乏信心，对自己所能取得的成就畏首畏尾、疑心重重。如今，我们走在历史的长河里，挺起胸膛，勾勒出美好明天的光辉画卷。
此情此景，等待尤长。然而，就在今晚，在这个大选的日子，在这个具有历史性意义的时刻，由于你们的付出，美国终于迎来了变革。
刚刚，我接到了麦凯恩参议员礼貌得体的祝贺电话。为了此次竞选，他奋战良久、竭尽所能；为了他所深爱的美国，他曾作出了更长久、更努力的奉献。麦凯恩参议员为美国所作出的牺牲是大部分人难以想象的，他这种英勇无私的奉献改善了我们的生活。对于麦凯恩参议员和佩林州长所取得的成就，我对他们致以祝贺。在接下来的几个月里，以重振美国为目标，我期待着与他们的合作。
在此，我想感谢一路陪伴我的竞选搭档，他就是我们即将上任的副总统，乔·拜登。为了让美国广大的工人阶层发出自己的声音，他毫无私心地全身心投入竞选，因为他和那些宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿城街头的人们一样，出生平凡，一切白手起家。 I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House. And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you. I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory. I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are 如果没有米歇尔·奥巴马，这一准美国第一夫人的坚定支持，今晚，我就不会站在这儿了。我们相伴走过了16个春秋，她是我们整个家庭的顶梁柱，我一生的挚爱。还有，萨沙和玛利亚，我爱你们，你们姊妹俩终于可以带着你们的新宠物狗入主白宫了。我知道，就像我的其他已故亲属一样，外祖母一定也在某处注视着我，虽然她已经不在人世。是他们造就了今天的我。今晚我很想念他们，我对他们的亏欠无以计量。
