斯福:国会珍珠港演讲音频
american island of oahu,the japanese ambassador to the united states and his colleague delivered to our secretary of state aformal reply to arecent american message.and while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations,it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack. it will be recorded that the distance of hawaii from japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago.during the intervening time,the japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the united states by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. the attack yesterday on the hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to american naval and military forces.i regret to tell you that very many american lives have been lost.in addition,american ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between san francis co and honoluluyesterday,the japanese government also launched an attack againstmalaya. last night,japanese forces attacked hong kong. last night,japanese forces attacked guam. last night,japanese forces attacked the philippine islands. last night,the japanese attacked wake island. and thi--orning,the japanese attacked midway island. japan has,therefore,undertaken asurprise offensive extending throughout the pacific area.the facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves.the people of the united states have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. measures be taken for our defense.but always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. invasion,the american people in their righteou--ight will win through to absolute victory. i believe that iinterpret the will of the congress and of the people when iassert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost,but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us. hostilities exist.there is no blinking at the fact that our people,our 合众国当时
同该国处于和平状态,并且,根据日本的请求,当时仍 在同该国政府和该国天皇举行着会话,但愿维持承平洋地域的和平, 实际上,就在日本空队伍中队已经起头轰炸美国瓦胡岛然后一钟头, 日本驻合众国大使及其同事还向国务卿提交处理了对美国最近致日 方的信函的正式答复。虽则复函声言继续现行交际谈判已一无用法, 它并未包罗关于战争或武装进击的威胁或暗示。 应该记录在案的是:思量到夏威夷同日本的间隔,此次进击显然是 很多天乃至若干礼拜之前就已蓄谋筹谋的。在筹谋的历程中,日本 政府通过虚假的声明和表示但愿维护和平处心积虑地棍骗合众国。 昨天对夏威夷群岛的进击,给美国海陆军军队造成了紧张的损伤。 我遗憾地告诉各位,很多美国人损失了生命。此外,据报告,美国 商船在旧金山和火奴鲁鲁之间的公海上也遭到了鱼雷袭击。 昨天,日本政府已策动了对马来亚的进击。 昨夜,日本军队袭击了喷鼻港。昨夜,日本军队攻击了关岛。 昨夜,日本军队攻击了菲律宾群岛。 昨夜,日本人袭击了威克岛。 今晨,日本人袭击了中途岛。 因此,日本在整个承平洋地区范围承 平洋地区范围策动了俄然攻势。发生在昨天和今天的事证实了这一 点。美国人民很是明白,并且十分清楚这关系到我们国家的安全和 保存的紧张事态。 作为三军总司令,我已申令,采取一切措施保卫我们的国家。 我们整个国家都将永远记住此次对我们的无耻进击。 不论要用多长的时间才气战胜此次蓄谋已久的入侵,美国人民以自 己的公理力量必患上赢患 上绝对的胜利。 我现在断言,我们不仅要作出最大的努力来保卫我们自己,我们还 将确保这种形式的违信弃义永远不会再威胁到我们。我相信抒发了 国会和人民的意志。 战争已经起头。我国人民,我国国土和我国利益都处于紧张危险之 中,对此我们不必闪烁其辞。 很多网友相信都看过影戏《珍珠港》 (pearl harbor) ,第二次世界大战在欧亚大陆打的如火如荼,而跨海相隔的 美国却隔
岸不雅火,仿佛事不关己。直至 1941 年 12 月 7 日早晨 7 点 53 分,日本奇袭美军在夏威夷的基地珍珠港。次日,美国总统罗 斯福在国会愤然揭晓了这篇的演讲,至此,承平洋战争全面爆发。 日本狙击珍珠港的历史违景: 日本从 1941 年中起头向东南亚的发展引起了这个地域主要强国的 不安,为了给日本一点颜色,美国冻结了对日本的经济贸易,其中 重要的是高辛烷石油,没有石油日本的飞机无法仙游,舰艇无法在 海中行驶,日本就无法继续对外扩张。 加上日本的石油只能维持半年的时间,日本明白,要么从其中国撤 军,停止对外扩张,交际上向美国挨近。要么自组旗帜,南下夺取 战略资源,继续加强对外侵略。南洋有美国,英国,荷兰的半殖民 地,进兵南洋就等于向美盎司国宣战。 承平洋上的珍珠港是交通的主要枢纽,夏威夷东距美国西海岸,西 距日本,西南到诸岛群,北到阿拉斯加和白令海峡,都在 2000 海里 到 3000 海里之间,跨越承平洋南来北往的飞机,都以夏威夷为中续 站。日本认为先在承平洋上夺取制空制海权就意味着南下的道路没 有阻碍畅通,必需先摧毁珍珠港,于是日本筹谋了珍珠港奇袭。 日本政府决定占领东南亚的资源作为对禁运的回答。他们不克不及 假定,假如他们起头行动了,美国会在一旁袖手旁不雅 ?这是山本半 百六思量事先覆灭美国在承平洋的力量的原因。日本联合舰队司令 山本半百六袭击珍珠港的海军基地的计划是实现这个战略目的中的 一个战术步骤。日本资料显示山本于 1941 年初起头思量袭击珍珠港。 数月后,在做了一些预先考察后,他被批准起头准备这个行动。日 本海军内部有强烈的阻挡这样一个行动的力量。山本威胁,假如这 个行动被中止的话,他将引退。 1941 年夏,在一次由日本天皇亲自 出席的御前会议上,这个行动正式被批准。 11 月,在另一次天皇亲 自出席的御前会议上,出兵承平洋的决定被批准。在 11 月的会议上 还决定,只有在美国完全同意日本主要要求的的环境下才放弃此次 行动。 袭击珍

" you know, every time i see someone hurt, i saw a lot of people come back after the injury , i looked at himself in the mirror muttering , "is not it quit ? should not stop playing it?" i do not know yet whether the return game. i sit here and tell you now , i want a full recovery back on the court . but i can not promise , because a lot of the time i still have some doubts , but i think , this is to meet the challenges of significance .to seize every opportunity to prove yourself to everyone , to prove that you can meet the challenge. to those who say you can never succeed , you will fail to prove , and this is my opinion. if someone says you are the injured , to slump , and for me, if someone suffered this injury might quit , but kobe can not do this . others say it under your die, i would say that you so that you may quit . so i have to prove it to them , especially to my fans who support me , love , i have to win their own , to win the pain , can return to the game . so as to allow those who doubt me rethink what is the impossible becomes possible. the importance of these scars is reflected in here , these scars are my shift reflects growing .as a player, i was born with a passion to succeed , you want to win. but also the most important thing in life the hardest thing . as a player , you want to go to the stadium to meet the biggest challenge , i think the biggest challenge is to bring people into the team like a man as to constantly , constantly win, this is the biggest challenge the team of athletic competition , this is exactly my passion . for me personally, the most important thing is to continue to meet the challenge, and never afraid of challenges is extremely important.but more important to maintain a constant curiosity of things , such as how to play better , how to improve the skills , how what is learned from others . in fact, i grew up to now has been looking for factors that inspire me from all aspects , not just from the body of michael jordan , earvin magic johnson from the body, but also from michael jackson , beethoven, leonardo da vinci, bruce lee's body, these who gave me great motivation, let me forward, so this is the spirit of the black mamba . not that you have to constantly attack others , but to never stop you from moving forward . life is a life-long learning , so it is extremely important to keep learning . you have to keep learning , study and study again , and talk to people , to understand , to learn, and not feel that you know everything . the only way you can become a better person , in order to further improve your skills . finally, there will be a by-product , to become a champion , become better yourself. for me, this is the spirit of the black mamba , my source of spiritual lies. so if i am able to pass this spirit to all of you , whatever you want to do, to become a basketball player , a writer or a presenter, no matter what your dream is , you must adhere to the dream of success from the front people who learn from the experience and knowledge to the success of all walks of life , some of them have in common makes them stand out, be successful, this is what i want to convey to you today positive energy .everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. but what is true beauty? perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.this morning i went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. on the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. but he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. we were all very angry with the young man. to our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. we all praised the girl.from this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. a person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.Everytime I am asked what I want to do in the future. I think a minute and say being a doctor is my dream job.Doctor is an other kind of artist who does human art by fighting with diseases and making people feel good. I think it is a pleasure to try my best to bring happiness to others. It is a feeling of pride and I am fond of it. In modern life, a mass of people work day and night to seek wealth and as a result they ignore their health. It is known that strong body is a foundation of beatific life. I dreamed to be an excellent doctor who can help them have a right to enjoy life again. Curing people is a doctor's holy responsibility.Being a doctor is my dream job, now I should study hard to gain more knowledge to reach my goal.i come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. i join you in this meeting because i am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together: clergy and laymen concerned about vietnam. the recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and i found myself in full accord when i read its opening lines: "a time comes when silence is betrayal." and that time has come for us in relation to vietnam.the truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world. moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict, we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty; but we must move on.and some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. we must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. and we must rejoice as well, for surely this is the first time in our nation's history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history. perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. if it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.over the past two years, as i have moved to break the betrayal of my own silences and to speak from the burnings of my own heart, as i have called for radical departures from the destruction of vietnam, many persons have questioned me about the wisdom of my path. at the heart of their concerns this query has often loomed large and loud: "why are you speaking about the war, dr. king?" "why are you joining the voices of dissent?" "peace and civil rights don't mix," they say. "aren't you hurting the cause of your people," they ask? and when i hear them, though i often understand the source of their concern, i am nevertheless greatlysaddened, for such questions mean that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment or my calling. indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world in which they live.in the light of such tragic misunderstanding, i deem it of signal importance to try to state clearly, and i trust concisely, why i believe that the path from dexter avenue baptist church -- the church in montgomery, alabama, where i began my pastorate -- leads clearly to this sanctuary tonight.名人英语演讲篇5My fellow citizens:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents.So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land — a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, wemust pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act — not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. All this we will do.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions — who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. Those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account — to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control — and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers ... our found fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all the other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort — even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, orblame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to the suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment — a moment that will define a generation — it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism —these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility — a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in theknowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.This is the price and the promise of citizenship.This is the source of our confidence — the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed — why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent Mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:"Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet (it)."America, in the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.Instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.i have a dreamevery one has s own dream. when i was a little kid ,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .but now ,when i am 16 yearsold ,standing here ,my dreams have already changed a lot.i have got quite different experience from other girls. wle they were playing toys at home, wle they were dreaming to be the princesses in the story .i was running in the hard rain, jumping in the heavy snow, pitcng in the strong wind. notng could stop me ,because of a wonderful call from my heart -- to be an athlete. yeah ,of course ,i'm an athlete, i'm so proud of that all the time .when i was 10 years old ,i became a shot-put athlete. the training was really hard ,i couldn't bear the heavy shot in my hands .but i always believe that "god only help those who help themselves". during those hard days, i find i was growing more quickly than others of the same age. to be an athlete is my most correct choice. but, i quit my team after entering gh school because of a silly excuse. i really didn't want to stop my sports careeranyway.today i say to you my friends that even though i must face the difficulties of yesterday ,today and tomorrow .i still have a dream .it is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.i have a dream that one day ,i can run, jump and pitch just like i used to be.i have a dream that one day , i can go back to my dream sports and join the national team.i have a dream that one day ,i can stand on the ghest place at the olympicgames. with all the cameras pointing at me. i will tell everyone that i'm so proud to be a cnese athlete!ts is my hope .ts is the faith that i continue my steps withwith ts faith ,i will live though the strong wind and heavy rain ,never give up !so let victory ring from my heart, from all of you. when we allow victory to ring .i must be the one!in my imagination, i'm a bird ,a magical bird. i carry my dreams all with me by my big wings. i fly though the mountains ,though the forests ,over the sea, to the sun ,the warmest place in the aerospace!every night ,i have a dream ,i see a girl ---smiling~i come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. i join you in this meeting because i am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together: clergy and laymen concerned about vietnam. the recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart, and i found myself in full accord when i read its opening lines: "a time comes when silence is betrayal." and that time has come for us in relation to vietnam.the truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war. nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world. moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict, we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty; but we must move on.and some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. we must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. and we must rejoice as well, for surely this is the first time in our nation's history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history. perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. if it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.over the past two years, as i have moved to break the betrayal of my own silences and to speak from the burnings of my own heart, as i have called for radical departures from the destruction of vietnam, many persons have questioned me about the wisdom of my path. at the heart of their concerns this query has often loomed large and loud: "why are you speaking about the war, dr. king?"

世界名人英语演讲稿:苹果公司乔布斯辞职前最后一次公开演讲Cupertino is very famous for Apple Computer. And we are very honor to have Steve Jobs to come here tonight to give us special presentation. Mr. Jobs?苹果如今变得炙手可热Cupertino也沾光不少,今晚我们荣幸地邀请到乔布斯莅临现场。
乔总?Welcome, Mr Jobs: you have a fan club here..欢迎你,这里貌似都是你的粉丝。
Thank you. Apple's grown like a weed, and as you know, we've always been in Cupertino. Started in an office par, eventually, got the buildings, we are in now the corner of the ends of 280.and those buildings hold maybe 2600 or 2800 people. But we've got almost 12,000 people in the area. So we're renting buildings - not very good buildings, either at an ever-greater radius from our campus and we're putting people in those. It is clear that we need to build new campus, so we just add space. That doesn't mean we don't need the one we got, we do need it, but we need another one to augment it. So we've got a plan that let's us stay in Cupertino. And we went out and we bought some land and this land is kind of special, to me. When I was 13, I think, I called up... Hewlett and Packard were my idols. And I called up Bill Hewlett, cause he lived in Palo Alto, and there were no unlisted numbers in the phone book, which gives you a clue to my age. And he picked up the phone and I talked to him and I asked him if he'd give me some spare parts for something I was building called a frequency counter. And he did, but in additionto that he gave me something way more important. He gave a job that summer. A summer job at Hewlett-Packard, right here (on) in Santa Clara, off 280, the division that built frequency counters. And I was in heaven. Well, right around that exact moment in time, Hewlett and Packard themselves were walking on some property over here in Cupertino, in Pruneridge, and they ended up buying it. And they built their computer systems division there. And as Hewlett - Packard has been shrinking lately, they decided to sell that property and we bought it. We bought that and we bought some adjacent property that all used to be apricot trees, apricot orchards and we've got about 150 acres. And we should like to put a new campus on that so that we can stay in Cupertino. And we've come up - we've hired some great architects to work with, some of the best in the world, I think. And we've come up with a design that puts 12,000 people in one building. Think about that, that''s rather odd 12,000 people in a building, in one building. But, we've seen these office parks with lots of building and they get pretty boring pretty fast. So we'd like to do something better than that. And I'd like to take you through what we like to do. So this is supposed to work here. Here we go. Can you see this? So here is we are today, which is on Infinite Loop drive, against the intersection of D' Anza and the 280.谢谢大家。

世界名人英文演讲稿
世界名人英文演讲稿短篇名人英文演讲稿,演讲稿应该怎么书写吗?如果大家还不知道如何书写名人英语演讲稿欢迎大家参考这份名人演讲稿英文范文!The Gettysburg Address Delivered on November 19, 1863 Read by Jeff Daniel Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.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 battle-field of that war.We have e to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives to that nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate we can not hallow-this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long re-member what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work, which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under 6od, shall have a new birth of free-dom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.Program Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, we take pride in presenting a thoughtful address by Ronald Reagan.Mr.Reagan:Reagan: Thank you.Thank you very much.Thank you and good evening.The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script.As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own words and discuss my own ideas regarding the choicethat we face in the next few weeks.I have spent most of my life as a Democrat.I recently have seen fit to follow another course.I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines.Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity.The line has been used, "We've never had it so good.But I have an unfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future.No nation in history has ever survived a tax burdenthat reached a third of its national ine.Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share, and yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in.We haven't balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years.We've raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the bined debts of all the nations of the world.We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury; we don't own an ounce.Foreign dollar claims are 27.3 billion dollars.And we've just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely.Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us.We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.Well I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to." And in that sentence he told us the entire story.If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to.This is the last stand on earth.And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.This is the issue of this election: whether we believein our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a littleintellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right.Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as aleft or right.There's only an up or down: [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism.And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for securityhave embarked on this downward course.In this vote-harvesting time, they use terms like the "Great Society," or as we were told a few days ago by the President, we must aept a greater government activity in the affairs of the people.But they've been a little more explicit in the past and among themselves; and all of the things I now will quote have appeared in print.These are not Republican ausations.For example, they have voices that say, "The cold war will end through our aeptance of a not undemocratic socialism." Another voice says, "The profit motive has bee outmoded.It must be replaced by the incentives of the welfare state." Or, "Our traditional system of individual freedom is incapable of solving the plex problems of the 20th century." Senator Fulbright has said at Stanford Universitythat the Constitution is outmoded.He referred to the President as "our moral teacher and our leader," and he says he is "hobbled in his task by the restrictions of power imposed on him by this antiquated document." He must "be freed," so that he "can do for us" what he knows "is best.Well, I, for one, resent it when a representative ofthe people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as "the masses." This is a term we haven't applied to ourselves in America.But beyond that, "the full power of centralized government" -- this was the very thing the Founding Fathers sought to minimize.They knew that governments don't control things.A government can't control the economy without controlling people.And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose.They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as wellor as economically as the private sector of the economy.Now, we have no better example of this thangovernment's involvement in the farm economy over the last 30 years.Since 1955, the cost of this program has nearly doubled.One-fourth of farming in America is responsible for 85% of the farm surplus.Three-fourths of farming is out on the free market and has known a 21% increase in the per capita consumption ofall its produce.You see, that one-fourth of farming -- that's regulated and controlled by the federal government.In the last three years we've spent 43 dollars in the feed grain program for every dollar bushel of corn we don't grow.Senator Humphrey last week charged that Barry Goldwater, as President, would seek to eliminate farmers.He should do his homework a little better, becausehe'll find out that we've had a decline of 5 million in the farm population under these government programs.He'll also find that the Democratic administration has sought to get from Congress [an] extension of the farm program to include that three-fourths that is now free.He'll find that they've also asked for the right to imprison farmers who wouldn't keep books as prescribed by the federal government.The Secretary of Agriculture asked for the right to seize farms through condemnation and resell them to other individuals.And contained in that same program was a provision that would have allowed the federal government to remove 2million farmers from the soil.At the same time, there's been an increase in the Department of Agriculture employees.There's now one for every 30 farms in the United States, and still they can't tell us how 66 shiploads of grain headed for Austria disappeared without a trace and Billie Sol Estes never left shore.Every responsible farmer and farm organization has repeatedly asked the government to free the farm economy, but how -- who are farmers to know what's best for them?The wheat farmers voted against a wheat program.The government passed it anyway.Now the price of bread goes up; the price of wheat to the farmer goes down.Meanwhile, back in the city, under urban renewal the assault on freedom carries on.Private property rights [are] so diluted that public interest is almost anything a few government plannersdecide it should be.In a program that takes from the needy and gives to the greedy, we see such spectacles as in Cleveland, Ohio, a million-and-a-half-dollar building pleted only three years ago must be destroyed to make way for what government officials call a "more patible use of the land." The President tells us he's now going to startbuilding public housing units in the thousands, where heretofore we've only built them in the hundreds.But FHA [Federal Housing Authority] and the Veterans Administration tell us they have 120,000 housing unitsthey've taken back through mortgage foreclosure.For three decades, we've sought to solve the problems of unemployment through government planning, and the more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.The latest is the Area Redevelopment Agency.They've just declared Rice County, Kansas, a depressed area.Rice County, Kansas, has two hundred oil wells, and the 14,000 people there have over 30 million dollars on deposit in personal savings in their banks.And when the government tells you you're depressed, lie down and be depressed.We have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without ing to the conclusion the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one.So they're going to solve all the problems of human misery through government and government planning.Well, now, if government planning and welfare had the answer -- and they've had almost 30 years of it --shouldn't we expect government to read the score to us once in a while? Shouldn't they be telling us about the decline each year in the number of people needing help? The reduction in the need for public housing?But the reverse is true.Each year the need grows greater; the program grows greater.We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry each night.Well that was probably true.They were all on a diet.But now we're told that 9.3 million families in this country are poverty-stricken on the basis of earning less than 3,000 dollars a year.Welfare spending [is] 10 times greater than in the dark depths of the Depression.We're spending 45 billion dollars on welfare.Now do a little arithmetic, and you'll find that if we divided the 45 billion dollars up equally among those 9 million poor families, we'd be able to give each family4,600 dollars a year.And this added to their present ine should eliminate poverty.Direct aid to the poor, however, is only running only about 600 dollars per family.It would seem that someplace there must be some overhead.Now -- so now we declare "war on poverty," or "You, too, can be a Bobby Baker." Now do they honestly expect us to believe that if we add 1 billion dollars to the 45 billion we're spending, one more program to the 30-odd we have -- and remember, this new program doesn't replace any, it just duplicatesexisting programs -- do they believe that poverty is suddenly going to disappear by magic? Well, in all fairness I should explain there is one part of the new program that isn't duplicated.This is the youth feature.We're now going to solve the dropout problem, juvenile delinquency, by reinstituting something like the old CCC camps [Civilian Conservation Corps], and we're going to put our young people in these camps.But again we do some arithmetic, and we find that we're going to spend each year just on room and board for each young person we help 4,700 dollars a year.We can send them to Harvard for 2,700! Course, don't get me wrong.I'm not suggesting Harvard is the answer to juvenile delinquency.But seriously, what are we doing to those we seek to help? Not too long ago, a judge called me here in Los Angeles.He told me of a young woman who'd e before him for a divorce.She had six children, was pregnant with her seventh.Under his questioning, she revealed her husband was a laborer earning 250 dollars a month.She wanted a divorce to get an 80 dollar raise.She's eligible for 330 dollars a month in the Aid to Dependent Children Program.She got the idea from two women in her neighborhoodwho'd already done that very thing.Yet anytime you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we're denounced as being against theirhumanitarian goals.They say we're always "against" things -- we're never "for" anything.Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much thatisn't so.Now -- we're for a provision that destitution shouldnot follow unemployment by reason of old age, and to that end we've aepted Social Security as a step toward meetingthe problem.But we're against those entrusted with this program when they practice deception regarding its fiscal shortings, when they charge that any criticism of the program meansthat we want to end payments to those people who depend on them for a livelihood.They've called it "insurance" to us in a hundredmillion pieces of literature.But then they appeared before the Supreme Court and they testified it was a welfare program.They only use the term "insurance" to sell it to the people.And they said Social Security dues are a tax for the general use of the government, and the government has used that tax.There is no fund, because Robert Byers, the actuarial head, appeared before a congressional mittee and admitted that Social Security as of this moment is 298 billion dollars in the hole.But he said there should be no cause for worry because as long as they have the power to tax, they could always take away from the people whatever they needed to bail them out of trouble.And they're doing just that.A young man, 21 years of age, working at an average salary -- his Social Security contribution would, in the open market, buy him an insurance policy that would guarantee 220 dollars a month at age 65.The government promises 127.He could live it up until he's 31 and then take out a policy that would pay more than Social Security.Now are we so lacking in business sense that we can't put this program on a sound basis, so that people who do require those payments will find they can get them when they're due -- that the cupboard isn't bare?Barry Goldwater thinks we can.At the same time, can't we introduce voluntary features that would permit a citizen who can do better on his own to be excused upon presentation of evidence that he had made provision for the non-earning years? Should we not allow a widow with children to work, and not lose the benefits supposedly paid for by her deceased husband? Shouldn't you and I be allowed to declare who our beneficiaries will be under this program, which we cannot do? I think we're for telling our senior citizens that no one in this country should be denied medical care because of a lack of funds.But I think we're against forcing all citizens, regardless of need, into a pulsory government program, especially when we have such examples, as was announcedlast week, when France admitted that their Medicare program is now bankrupt.They've e to the end of the road.In addition, was Barry Goldwater so irresponsible when he suggested that our government give up its program of deliberate, planned inflation, so that when you do get yourSocial Security pension, a dollar will buy a dollar's worth, and not 45 cents worth?I think we're for an international organization, where the nations of the world can seek peace.But I think we're against subordinating American interests to an organization that has bee so structurally unsound that today you can muster a two-thirds vote on the floor of the General Assembly among nations that represent less than 10 percent of the world's population.I think we're against the hypocrisy of assailing our allies because here and there they cling to a colony, while we engage in a conspiracy of silence and never open our mouths about the millions of people enslaved in the Soviet colonies in the satellite nations.I think we're for aiding our allies by sharing of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs, but we're against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world.We set out to help 19 countries.We're helping 107.We've spent 146 billion dollars.With that money, we bought a 2 million dollar yacht for Haile Selassie.We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenya[n] government officials.We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity.In the last six years, 52 nations have bought 7 billion dollars worth of our gold, and all 52 are receiving foreign aid from this country.No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.So, governments' programs, once launched, never disappear.Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth.Federal employees -- federal employees number two and a half million; and federal, state, and local, one out of six of the nation's work force employed by government.These proliferating bureaus with their thousands of regulations have cost us many of our constitutional safeguards.How many of us realize that today federal agents can invade a man's property without a warrant? They can impose a fine without a formal hearing, let alone a trial by jury? And they can seize and sell his property at auction to enforce the payment of that fine.In Chico County, Arkansas, James Wier over-planted his rice allotment.The government obtained a 17,000 dollar judgment.And a U.S.marshal sold his 960-acre farm at auction.The government said it was necessary as a warning to others to make the system work.Last February 19th at the University of Minnesota, Norman Thomas, six-times candidate for President on the Socialist Party ticket, said, "If Barry Goldwater became President, he would stop the advance of socialism in the United States." I think that's exactly what he will do.But as a former Democrat, I can tell you Norman Thomas isn't the only man who has drawn this parallel to socialism with the present administration, because back in 1936, Mr.Democrat himself, Al Smith, the great American, came before the American people and charged that the leadership of his Party was taking the Party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland down the road under the banners of Marx, Lenin, and Stalin.And he walked away from his Party, and he never returned til the day he died -- because to this day, the leadership of that Party has been taking that Party, that honorable Party, down the road in the image of the labor Socialist Party of England.Now it doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people.What does it mean whether you hold the deed to the -- or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property? And such machinery already exists.The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute.Every businessman has his own tale of harassment.Somewhere a perversion has taken place.Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.Our Democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues.They want to make you and I believe that this is a contest between two men -- that we're to choose just between two personalities.Well what of this man that they would destroy -- and in destroying, they would destroy that which he represents, the ideas that you and I hold dear? Is he the brash and shallow and trigger-happy man they say he is? Well I've been privileged to know him "when." I knew him long before he ever dreamed of trying for high office, and I can tell you personally I've never known a man in my life I believed so incapable of doing a dishonest or dishonorable thing.This is a man who, in his own business before heentered politics, instituted a profit-sharing plan before unions had ever thought of it.He put in health and medical insurance for all his employees.He took 50 percent of the profits before taxes and set up a retirement program, a pension plan for all his employees.He sent monthly checks for life to an employee who wasill and couldn't work.He provides nursing care for the children of mothers who work in the stores.When Mexico was ravaged by the floods in the Rio Grande, he climbed in his airplane and flew medicine and supplies down there.An ex-GI told me how he met him.It was the week before Christmas during the Korean War, and he was at the Los Angeles airport trying to get a ride home to Arizona for Christmas.And he said that [there were] a lot of servicemen there and no seats available on the planes.And then a voice came over the loudspeaker and said, "Any men in uniform wanting a ride to Arizona, go to runway such-and-such," and they went down there, and there was a fellow named Barry Goldwater sitting in his plane.Every day in those weeks before Christmas, all day long, he'd load up the plane, fly it to Arizona, fly them totheir homes, fly back over to get another load.During the hectic split-second timing of a campaign,this is a man who took time out to sit beside an old friend who was dying of cancer.His campaign managers were understandably impatient,but he said, "There aren't many left who care what happensto her.I'd like her to know I care." This is a man who said to his 19-year-old son, "There is no foundation like the rock of honesty and fairness, and when you begin to build your life on that rock, with the cement of the faith in God that you have, then you have a real start." This is not a man who could carelessly send other people's sons to war.And that is the issue of this campaign that makes all the other problems I've discussed academic, unless werealize we're in a war that must be won.Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchenof the welfare state have told us they have a utopian solution of peace without victory.They call their policy "aommodation." And they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget his evil waysand learn to love us.All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers.They say we offer simple answers to plex problems.Well, perhaps there is a simple answer -- not an easy answer -- but simple: If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policybased on what we know in our hearts is morally right.We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by mitting an immorality so great as saying toa billion human beings now enslaved behind the Iron Curtain, "Give up your dreams of freedom because to save our own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your slave masters." Alexander Hamilton said, "A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." Now let's set the record straight.There's no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace -- and you can have it in the next second -- surrender.Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we followother than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face -- that their policy of aommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fightor surrender.If we continue to aommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand -- the ultimatum.And what then -- when Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we're retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time es to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time wewill have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically.He believes this because from our side he's heardvoices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Redthan dead," or as one mentator put it, he'd rather "live on his knees than die on his feet." And therein lies the road to war, because thosevoices don't speak for the rest of us.You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery.If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin -- just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain.Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it's a simple answer after all.You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." And this -- this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material putations.When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits -- not animals.。

世界名人英语演讲稿
世界名人英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,It is an honor for me to stand before you today and deliver a speech about some of the world's most influential and inspiring figures. These individuals have made a significant impact on society and continue to inspire generations.Let me start by talking about Mahatma Gandhi. He was a political and spiritual leader in India who used nonviolent methods to achieve independence from British rule. He once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world," a quote that has inspired millions of people to lead lives filled with compassion and peace.The next person I want to talk about is Martin Luther King Jr., an American civil rights activist who fought for racial equality in the United States. He delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963, which called for an end to racism and discrimination. He was a firm believer in nonviolence and inspired a generation of civil rights activists to fight for justice and equality.Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid activist who spent 27 years in prison for his beliefs. He became the first black president of South Africa in 1994 and worked to end the apartheid system that had been in place since 1948. He once said, "It always seems impossible until it's done," a quote that encourages perseverance and the belief that change is possible.Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist who advocates for girls' education. She gained attention in 2012 when she was shot by theTaliban while on her way to school. She survived the attack and has since become a global advocate for girls' education, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. She is a powerful example of the bravery and resilience of young people.Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun who dedicated her life to serving the poor and sick in Kolkata, India. She founded the Missionaries of Charity and was known for her selfless service to those in need. She once said, "Do ordinary things with extraordinary love," a philosophy that teaches us that even small acts of kindness can make a big impact on the world.Bill Gates is an American entrepreneur who co-founded Microsoft and is one of the richest people in the world. He has used his wealth and influence to promote global health initiatives and education, founding the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000. He is an example of how business leaders can use their resources to make a positive impact on the world.Finally, I want to mention Malcom X, an American civil rights activist who advocated for black nationalism and fought against racism and discrimination in the United States. He once said, "Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today," a quote that highlights the importance of education and how it can lead to a better future.In conclusion, these individuals have made a significant impact on the world and continue to inspire generations of people to work towards a better future. Let us all strive to follow in their footstepsand work towards creating a more just and peaceful world. Thank you.。

名人英文演讲稿名人英文演讲稿大全(通用5篇)名人英文演讲稿篇1Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation.This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free.One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.In a sense we have come to our nations capital to cash a check.When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteedthe inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now.This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of Gods children.Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro.This sweltering summer of the Negros legitimate discontent will not pauntil there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.名人英文演讲稿篇2Vice 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.And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears 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.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.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.To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny.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 who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, 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.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.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.Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, 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 mankinds 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 andprecise 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 commerce.Let both sides unite to heed, in all corners of the earth, the command of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens, and [to] let the oppressed go free."And, if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new world of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved.All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days.Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration; nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet.But let us begin.In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course.Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty.The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need -- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a longtwilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation," a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? 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 here 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 Gods work must truly be our own.名人英文演讲稿篇3Harry S.Truman: "The Truman Doctrine"Mr.President, Mr.Speaker, Members of the Congress of theUnited States:The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress.The foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved.One aspect of the present situation, which I present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns Greece and Turkey.The United States has received from the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance.Preliminary reports from the American Economic Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation.I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government.Greece is not a rich country.Lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet.Since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.When forces of liberation entered Greece they found that the retreating Germans had destroyed virtually all the railways, roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine.More than a thousand villages had been burned.Eighty-five per cent of the children were tubercular.Livestock, poultry, and draft animals had almost disappeared.Inflation had wiped out practically all savings.As a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority, exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.Greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those goods which are essential to bare subsistence.Under these circumstances, the people of Greececannot make progress in solving their problems of reconstruction.Greece is in desperate need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds.These are indispensable for the subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad.Greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore internal order and security, so essential for economic and political recovery.The Greek Government has also asked for the assistance of experienced American administrators, economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other aid given to Greece shall be used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy and in improving its public administration.The very existence of the Greek state is today threatened by the terrorist activities of several thousand armed men, led by Communists, who defy the governments authority at a number of points, particularly along the northern boundaries.A Commission appointed by the United Nations security Council is at present investigating disturbed conditions in northern Greece and alleged border violations along the frontiers between Greece on the one hand and Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia on the other.Meanwhile, the Greek Government is unable to cope with thesituation.The Greek army is small and poorly equipped.It needs supplies and equipment if it is to restore authority of the government throughout Greek territory.Greece must have assistance if it is to become a self-supporting and self-respecting democracy.The United States must supply this assistance.We have already extended to Greececertain types of relief and economic aid.But these are inadequate.There is no other country to which democratic Greece can turn.No other nation is willing and able to provide the necessary support for a democratic Greek government.The British Government, which has been helping Greece, can give no further financial or economic aid after March 31st.Great Britain finds itself under the necessity of reducing or liquidating its commitments in several parts of the world, including Greece.We have considered how the United Nations might assist in this crisis.But the situation is an urgent one, requiring immediate action, and the United Nations and its related organizations are not in a position to extend help of the kind that is required.It is important to note that the Greek Government has asked for our aid in utilizing effectively the financial and other assistance we may give to Greece, and in improving its public administration.It is of the utmost importance that we supervise the use of any funds made available to Greece in such a manner that eachdollar spent will count toward making Greece self-supporting, and will help to build an economy in which a healthy democracy can flourish.No government is perfect.One of the chief virtues of a democracy, however, is that its defects are always visible and under democratic processes can be pointed out and corrected.The Government of Greece is not perfect.Nevertheless it represents eighty-five per cent of the members of the Greek Parliament who were chosen in an election last year.Foreign observers, including 692 Americans, considered this election to be a fair expression of the views of the Greek people.The Greek Government has been operating in an atmosphere of chaos and extremism.It has made mistakes.The extension of aid by this country does not mean that the United States condones everything that the Greek Government has done or will do.We have condemned in the past, and we condemn now, extremist measures of the right or the left.We have in the past advised tolerance, and we advise tolerance now.Greeks [sic] neighbor, Turkey, also deserves our attention.The future of Turkey, as an independent and economically sound state, is clearly no less important to the freedom-loving peoples of the world than the future of Greece.The circumstances in which Turkey finds itself today are considerably different from those of Greece.Turkey has been spared the disasters that have beset Greece.And during the war, the United States and Great Britain furnished Turkey with material aid.Nevertheless, Turkey now needs our support.Since the war, Turkey has sought financial assistance from Great Britain and the United States for the purpose of effecting that modernization necessary for the maintenance of its national integrity.That integrity is essential to the preservation of order in the Middle East.The British government has informed us that, owing to its own difficulties, it can no longer extend financial or economic aid to Turkey.As in the case of Greece, if Turkey is to have the assistance it needs, the United States must supply it.We are the only country able to provide that help.I am fully aware of the broad implications involved if the United States extends assistance to Greece and Turkey, and I shall discuss these implications with you at this time.One of the primary objectives of the foreign policy of the United States is the creation of conditions in which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free from coercion.This was a fundamental issue in the war with Germany and Japan.Our victory was won over countries which sought to impose their will, and their way of life, upon other nations.To ensure the peaceful development of nations, free from coercion, the United States has taken a leading part in establishing the United Nations.The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.We shall not realize our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free peoples to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes.This is no more than a frank recognition that totalitarian regimes imposed upon free peoples, by direct or indirect aggression, undermine the foundations of international peace, and hence the security of the United States.The peoples of a number of countries of the world have recently had totalitarian regimes forced upon them against their will.The Government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation in violation of the Yalta agreement in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria.I must also state that in a number of other countries there have been similar developments.At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life.The choice is too often not a free one.One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression.The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority.It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio, fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.I believe that our help should be primarily through economic and financial aid which is essential to economic stability and orderly political processes.The world is not static, and the status quo is not sacred.But we cannot allow changes in the status quo in violation of the Charter of the United Nations by such methods as coercion, or by such subterfuges as political infiltration.In helping free and independent nations to maintain their freedom, the United States will be giving effect to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.It is necessary only to glance at a map to realize that the survival and integrity of the Greek nation are of grave importance in a much wider situation.If Greece should fall under the control of an armed minority, the effect upon its neighbor, Turkey, would be immediate and serious.Confusion and disorder might well spread throughout the entire Middle East.Moreover, the disappearance of Greece as an independent state would have a profound effect upon those countries in Europe whose peoples are struggling against great difficulties to maintain their freedoms and their independence while they repair the damages of war.It would be an unspeakable tragedy if these countries, which have struggled so long against overwhelming odds, should lose that victory for which they sacrificed so much.Collapse of free institutions and loss of independence would be disastrous not only for them but for the world.Discouragement and possibly failure would quickly be the lot of neighboring peoples striving to maintain their freedom and independence.Should we fail to aid Greece and Turkey in this fateful hour, the effect will be far reaching to the West as well as to the East.We must take immediate and resolute action.I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of $400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948.In requesting these funds, I have taken into consideration the maximum amount of relief assistance which would be furnished to Greece out of the $350,000,000 which I recently requested that the Congress authorize for the prevention of starvation and suffering in countries devastated by the war.In addition to funds, I ask the Congress to authorize the detail of American civilian and military personnel to Greece and Turkey, at the request of those countries, to assist in the tasks of reconstruction, and for the purpose of supervising the use of such financial and material assistance as may be furnished.I recommend that authority also be provided for the instruction and training of selected Greek and Turkish personnel.Finally, I ask that the Congress provide authority which will permit the speediest and most effective use, in terms of needed commodities, supplies, and equipment, of such funds as may be authorized.If further funds, or further authority, should be needed for purposes indicated in this message, I shall not hesitate to bring the situation before the Congress.On this subject the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government must work together.This is a serious course upon which we embark.I would not recommend it except that the alternative is much more serious.The United States contributed $341,000,000,000 toward winning World War II.This is an investment in world freedom and world peace.The assistance that I am recommending for Greece and Turkey amounts to little more than 1 tenth of 1 per cent of this investment.It is only common sense that we should safeguard this investment and make sure that it was not in vain.The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want.They spread and grow in the evil soil of poverty and strife.They reach their full growth when the hope of a people for a better life has died.We must keep that hope alive.The free peoples of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms.If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world.And we shall surely endanger the welfare of this nation.Great responsibilities have been placed upon us by the swift movement of events.I am confident that the Congress will face these responsibilities squarely.名人英文演讲稿篇4I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask,what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory. Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of a名人英文演讲稿篇5Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. It is a common view that "money is the root of all evil.“ The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.When James visited Qingdao, I accompanied him all the time and reported on his visit. I was deeply touched by his honesty. It has taught me a lot. I think to err is human. The important thing is to have the courage to admit and correct ones error.Honesty is a vital quality of human behaviour. So we should try to keep an honest mind in everything we say and do. I would like to say to all of my friends: Lets be honest people of good moral character.Thank you.。

It is a great honor to stand before you today and share some thoughts on a topic that has been close to my heart for many years: the power of embracing challenges and the path to greatness. As we navigate through the complexities of our lives, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the obstacles that seem to stand in our way. However, it is in overcoming these challenges that we find our true strength and purpose.Let us begin by acknowledging that life is a series of challenges. From the moment we are born, we are faced with obstacles that test our resilience, our courage, and our determination. These challenges can come in many forms: academic, professional, personal, or even societal. But it is how we respond to these challenges that defines us as individuals and as a collective humanity.First and foremost, we must understand that challenges are not meant to hinder us but rather to propel us forward. The great inventors, artists, scientists, and leaders of our time have all faced adversity, but it was their ability to embrace these challenges that allowed them to achieve greatness. Take Thomas Edison, for example. He failed countless times before inventing the light bulb. Yet, he did not let his failures define him; instead, he used them as stepping stones to success.The key to embracing challenges lies in our mindset. We must cultivate a growth mindset, one that views challenges as opportunities for learning and personal development. When we encounter obstacles, we should not see them as insurmountable barriers, but rather as stepping stones to our potential. This mindset allows us to approach challenges with curiosity and determination, rather than fear and avoidance.One of the greatest challenges we face in life is the fear of failure. We are often conditioned to believe that failure is a bad thing, something to be avoided at all costs. However, failure is an essential part of the growth process. It is through our failures that we learn, that we adapt, and that we become stronger. As Michael Jordan once said,"I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."To embrace challenges, we must also be willing to take risks. Risks are an inevitable part of any endeavor that requires growth and success. While it is true that risks can lead to failure, they can also lead to extraordinary achievements. We must be brave enough to step out of our comfort zones, to pursue our passions with abandon, and to seize opportunities that come our way.In addition to embracing challenges and taking risks, we must also cultivate resilience. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, to learn from our mistakes, and to keep moving forward. Resilience is not a quality that we are born with; it is something that we develop through experience and practice. When we face setbacks, we must remember that they are temporary, and that we have the strength to overcome them.As we strive to embrace challenges and pursue greatness, we must also remember the importance of collaboration. Greatness is not achieved in isolation; it is achieved through the collective effort of many. We must learn to work together, to share our knowledge and experiences, and to support one another in our endeavors. When we collaborate, we create a powerful force that can move mountains.In conclusion, the path to greatness is paved with challenges. It is through embracing these challenges, taking risks, cultivating resilience, and collaborating with others that we can achieve our full potential. As we navigate through the complexities of our lives, let us remember that challenges are not obstacles but rather opportunities for growth and success.To quote Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon whichyou can use to change the world." Let us use this weapon to empower ourselves and others to embrace challenges and to pursue greatness. Let us strive to be the change we wish to see in the world.Thank you for your time and attention. May we all find the strength and courage to embrace the challenges that lie ahead and to achieve greatness in our own unique ways.God bless you all.。
