肯尼迪英文演讲稿John F. Kennedy: Inaugural Addressdelivered January 20, 1961Vice 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 solemnoath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal handsthe 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 friendand foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by ahard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage -- and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which thisnation 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 weshall 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, wepledge 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 notalways 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 backof the tiger ended up inside.To those people in the huts and villages of half the globestruggling 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 shalljoin 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 hield of the new and the weak, and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run. sFinally, 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 ofnations take comfort from our present course -- both sides overburdenedby the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war. So let us begin anew-- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness,and sincerity is always subject to proof.Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts,eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.Let both sides unite to heed, in all corners of the earth, the command of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens . . . [and] let the oppressed go free."And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join increating 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. Norwill 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 thefinal 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 long twilight truggle, year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a struggle against the scommon 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 believethat 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 God's work must truly be our own.。

JFK 约翰 肯尼迪
1. Life story of John F. KennedyA. His family backgroundJohn F. Kennedy, whose ancestors came from Ireland, was the first Roman Catholic to become president of the United States, assumed the office in 1961. At 43 he was the youngest man ever elected office of his country, although he was not the youngest to serve in it. Theodore Roosevelt was not quite 43 when the assassination of President Mckinley elevated him to the presidency.He was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. Brookline was the suburb of Boston where his grandfather had been elected to many public offices. John was the second of nine children of Joseph Patrick Kennedy and his wife, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Joseph P. Kennedy, father of the future president, was at 25 the youngest bank president in the country. The banker was to build one of the great private fortunes of his time.When the first Kennedy child, Joseph, Jr., was born, father Joe was reported to have said, “He’ll be the first Kennedy to become president of the United States.” But he was killed while piloting a bomber in World War II, and the leadership of the rising Kennedy generation passed on to John.Thus young John Kennedy, often called Jack, inherited a background of politics , wealth, and determination. The family circle was close and warm. The boys learned competition first in sports. They played hard to win, a family trait in sports and politics all their lives.B. His schoolingYoung John Kennedy went to private schools in Brookline and New York City, but he fell ill and never returned. And then in 1931, he entered Choate School, in Wallingford, Connecticut to prepare for college. After a short spell at the London School of Economics and Princeton, again the young Kennedy was forced to leave school due to illness, but he resumed his studies the following year at Harvard University. Despite frequent illness, Kennedy was a good athlete. However, he was forced to give up football after injuring his spine in practice. In 1940 he graduated from Harvard cum laude(特等毕业生).C. His political career and election as presidentKennedy hoped to fight in the war but in the spring of 1941 he was rejected by the U.S. Army because of his back injury. Determined to see active service, he passed the U.S. Navy physical examination after a five-month program of special exercise.Early in 1943 Kennedy became commander of PT (Pacific Time) Boat 109 in the South Pacific. In August 1943 the boat was rammed(撞击)by a Japanese destroyer(驱逐舰) in waters off New Georgia in the Solomon Islands. The boat was sliced in half and 2 of the 13 men aboard were killed. Kennedy and the other survivors clung for hours to the wreckage, hoping for rescue. When none came, they swam to a small island 5 km away. Kennedy towed a wounded crew member by clenc hing the long strap of the injured man’s life jacket between his teeth. For the next four days, Kennedy swam along a water route that he knew American ships used. He finally encountered friendly natives on Cross Island. They brought his message for help, carved on a coconut shell, to U.S. infantry(步兵) patrol and Kennedy and his crew were finally rescued. For his “courage, endurance, and excellent leadership,” Kennedy received the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Medal, awarded for heroism not involving conflict with the enemy. Then, because of an attack of malaria and the recurrence of his back disorder, Kennedy returned to the United States for medicalIn 1946 Kennedy set out to win the Democratic nomination in the 11th Congressional District of Massachusetts. Though he ran against nine other candidates, Kennedy won the primary with 42 percent of the votes. He went on to defeat his Republican opponent in the general election and became a congressman at the age of 29. He served three terms in the House of Representatives, all during the Democratic administrations of President Harry S. Truman (1945-1953).As a new member of the Congress of the United States, Kennedy supported legislation that would serve the interests of his constituents(选民). He also joined with Republicans in criticizing the Truman administration’s handling of China. When the triumphant Mao Zedong formed the People’s Republic of China, Truman’s critics, including Kennedy, charged that the administration had failed to support Chiang Kai-shek against the Communists.In 1953 Kennedy married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier. The Kennedys had four children: among whom one was stillborn, another died less than 48 hours after his birth. Less than a year after his marriage, Kennedy underwent a spinal-disk operation. Four months later, after a painful convalescence, a second back operation was performed. During his convalescence(康复期), Kennedy wrote Profiles in Courage, a book of essays on American politicians who risked their careers fighting for just but unpopular causes. Published in 1956, the book received the Pulitzer Prize in 1957. Because of the success of this book, many people who had known little about Kennedy came to admire him, both for his literary skill and for his understanding of the great issues of American history.Kennedy wanted the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination, and almost as soon as the 1956 election was over, he began working for it. He faced several major obstacles. Many party leaders considered him too young and too inexperienced for the presidency. Many also doubted that a Roman Catholic could win a national election in a country that was mostly Protestant. When Kennedy announced his candidacy early in 1960, many thought that his religion and his youthful appearance would handicap him. Kennedy faced the religion issues frankly. He declared his firm belief in the separation of church and state. His wealth enabled him to assemble a staff and to get around the country in a private plane.Kennedy’s four television debates with Republican candidate, Vice President Richard Nixon for president, were a highlight of 1960 campaign. In the fast-paced campaign that followed, Kennedy made stops in 46 states and 273 cities and towns, while Nixon visited every state and 170 urban areas. The two candidates faced each other in four nationally televised debates. Kennedy’s manner, especially in the first debate, seemed to eliminate the charge that he was too young and too inexperienced to serve as president, and many believed these debates gave Kennedy victory.Another important element of the campaign was the support Kennedy received from blacks in important Northern states, especially Illinois and Pennsylvania. They supported him in part because he and Robert Kennedy had tried to obtain the release of the civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.The election drew a record 69 million voters to the polls, but Kennedy won by only 113,000 votes. He won 49.7 percent of the popular vote, and Nixon won 49.6 percent. It was the closest popular vote in 72 years.Kennedy was inaugurated on January 20, 1961. Kennedy sought with considerable success to attract brilliant young people to government service. His hope was to bring new ideas and newmethods into the executive branch. As a result many of his advisers were teachers and scholars. Besides, the president and Mrs. Kennedy attempted to make the White House the cultural center of the nation. Writers, artists, poets, scientists, and musicians were frequent dinner guests. On one occasion the Kennedys held a reception for all the American winners of the Nobel Prize, people who made outstanding contributions to their field during the past year.Kennedy’s first year in office brought him considerable success in enacting new legislation. The most original piece of legislation Kennedy put through Congress was the bill creating the Peace Corps, an agency that trained American volunteers to perform social and humanitarian service overseas. The program’s goal was to promote world peace and friendship with developin g nations. The idea of American volunteers helping people in foreign lands touched the idealism of many citizens. Within two years, Peace Corps volunteers were working in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, living with the people and working on education, public health, and agricultural projects. However, after his initial success with Congress, Kennedy found it increasingly difficult to get his programs enacted into law. The major American legal and moral conflict during Kennedy’s three years in office was in the area of civil rights. Black agitation against discrimination had become widespread and well organized. Although Kennedy was in no way responsible for the growth of the civil rights movement, he attempted to aid the black cause by enforcing existing laws. Kennedy also asked Congress to pass a civil rights bill that would guarantee blacks the right to vote, to attend public school, to have equal access to jobs, and to have access to public accommodations. Public opinion polls showed that Kennedy was losing popularity because of his advocacy of civil rights.In September 1962 Governor Ross R. Barnett of Mississippi ignored a court order and prevented James H. Meredith, a black man, from enrolling at the state university. On the night of September 30, even as the president went on national television to appeal to the people of Mississippi to obey the law, rioting began on the campus. After 15 hours of rioting and two deaths, Kennedy sent in troops to restore order. Meredith was admitted to the university, and troops and federal marshals remained on the campus to insure his safety.In 1959 a revolution led by Fidel Castro finally overthrew the Cuban dictator. During the next two years, Castro was to become increasingly hostile to the United States. The new reg ime’s agrarian(土地所有制的)reform laws affected U.S. companies that operated sugar plantations. Companies that were not controlled by Cuban stockholders were not allowed to operate plantations, and sugar production was de-emphasized in favor of food crops. In 1960 the Castro government nationalized an estimated $1 billion in properties owned by U.S. companies and citizens, and the Eisenhower administration imposed a trade embargo. When Castro began to proclaim his belief in Communism, Cuba became part of the Cold War. Many Cubans fled to the United States. During the Eisenhower administration the CIA had begun to train Cuban exiles secretly for an invasion of Cuba. When Kennedy became president, he approved the invasion.In April 1961 about 1,500 Cuban exiles made an amphibious(海陆空协同作战的) landing in Cuba at a place called Bay of Pigs. Their plan was to move inland and join with anti-Castro forces to stage a revolt simultaneously, but instead Castro’s forces were there to meet the invaders. The revolt in the interior did not materialize, and air support, promised by the CIA, never came. The exiles were defeated and most of the survivors were taken prisoner. Castro demanded money for their release. Kennedy refused to negotiate with Castro, but he took steps to encourage both businesses and private citizens to reach an agreement with Castro and to contribute to the ransom释放. On December 25, 1962, 1,113 prisoners were released in exchange for food and medical supplies valued at a total of approximately $53 million.The Cuban Missile Crisis was perhaps the world’s closest approach to nuclear war. In 1960 Soviet Premier Khrushchev (赫鲁晓夫) decided to supply Cuba with nuclear missiles that would put the eastern United States within range of nuclear missile attack. Khrushchev, when asked, denied that any missiles were being supplied to Cuba, but in the summer of 1962 U.S. spy planes flying over Cuba photographed Soviet-managed construction work and spotted the first missile on October 14. For seven days President Kennedy consulted secretly with advisers, discussing the possible responses while in public his administration carried on as though nothing was wrong. Finally, on October 22, Kennedy told the nation about the discovery of the missiles, demanded that the Soviet Union remove the weapons, and declared the waters around Cuba a quarantine隔离zone. Kennedy called upon Khrushchev “to halt and eliminate this clandestine秘密的, reckless and provocative threat to world peace and to stable relations between our two nations” and warned that an attack from Cuba on any nation in the western hemisphere would be considered an attack by the USSR on the United States itself. At the same time, United States troops were sent to Florida to prepare for invading Cuba, and air units were alerted. American vessels blockaded Cuba with orders to search all suspicious-looking Soviet ships and to turn back any that carried offensive weapons. For several tense days Soviet vessels en route to Cuba avoided the quarantine zone, while Khrushchev and Kennedy discussed the issue through diplomatic channels. Khrushchev sent a message on October 26 in which he agreed to Kennedy’s demands to remove all missiles. On October 28, Khrushchev agreed to dismantle and remove the weapons from Cuba and offered the United States on-site inspection. In return Kennedy secretly promised not to invade Cuba and to remove older missiles from Turkey. Nuclear war had been avoided.This was perhaps Kennedy’s greatest moment as president. Many felt that both World War I and World War II had begun because of weak responses to acts of aggression, and Kennedy may have prevented World War III by displaying courage and strength.As president, Kennedy directed his initial policies toward invigorating the country, attempting to release it from the grip of economic recession. He made direct appeals for public service and public commitment, paying particular attention to civil rights. The energy and possibility of his message was cut short when Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.D. AssassinationOn November 22, 1963, President and Mrs. Kennedy were in Dallas, Texas, trying to win support. On his way to a luncheon in downtown Dallas, Kennedy and his wife sat in an open convertible(敞篷车)at the head of a motorcade. As the motorcade approached an underpass, three shots were fired in rapid succession. One bullet passed through the president’s neck and struck Governor Connally in the back. A second bullet struck the president in the head; a third one missed the motorcade. Kennedy fell forward, and his car sped to Parkland Hospital. At 1:00 pm, he was pronounced dead. He had never regained consciousness.The bullets that killed Kennedy were fired from a sixth-story window of a nearby warehouse. That afternoon, Lee Harvey Oswald, who was employed in the warehouse, was arrested in a Dallas movie theater and charged with the murder. Two days later, as the suspect was beingtransferred from one jail to another, Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby sprang out from a group of reporters and, as millions watched on television, fired a revolver into Oswald’s left side. Oswald died in the same hospital to which the President had been taken.On November 24, amid national and worldwide mourning, the body of President Kennedy was carried on a horse-drawn carriage from the White House to the Rotunda(圆形建筑物)of the Capitol. A state funeral was held the next day. Representatives of 92 nations attended. As many as 1 million people may have lined the streets of Washington as the funeral procession made its way slowly to Arlington National Cemetery. The grave was marked by an eternal flame lighted by his wife and brothers.On November 29, President Johnson appointed a seven member commission, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, to conduct a thorough investigation of the assassination and report to the nation The commission’s report made public on Dept. 27, 1964, held that Oswald fired the shots that killed the president. Further, to alley suspicions that the murder was a conspiratorial plot, it stated that the committee “found no evidence”that either Oswald or Ruby “was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy.”。

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 littlewe can do -- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds andsplit 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. Weshall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But weshall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom-- and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly soughtpower 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 bestefforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required -- not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seektheir votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot helpthe 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 alliancefor 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 inthe 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, tostrengthen its shield of the new and the weak, and to enlarge thearea 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 mankind's final war.So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and 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."¹And, 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.。

(刺杀肯尼迪）
A New Orleans DA discovers there's more to the Kennedy assassination than the official story.

1960 presidential election
? On January 2, 1960, Kennedy initiated his campaign for President in the Democratic primary election, where he faced challenges from Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon. Kennedy defeated Humphrey in Wisconsin and West Virginia, Morse in Maryland and Oregon, as well as from token opposition (often write-in candidates) in New Hampshire, Indiana, and Nebraska. Kennedy visited a coal mine in West Virginia; most miners and others in that predominantly conservative, Protestant state were quite wary of Kennedy's Roman Catholicism. His victory in West Virginia confirmed his broad popular appeal. At the Democratic Convention, he gave his well-known New Frontier speech, saying: For the problems are not all solved and the battles are not all won—and we stand today on the edge of a New Frontier ... But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises—it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.
In 1952 he became senator of Massachusetts. In 1956 he
almost became running mate of Adlai Stevenson, but lost
the elections. In 1958 he won reelection in Massachusetts
United Stated. ? He faced the religion issue frankly. He decided his
firm belief in the separation of Church and state. ? At 43 he was also the youngest man ever elected to
“Ask not what the country can do for you ，ask what you can do for the country 。”
