富兰克林·罗斯福（Franklind.Roosevelt）第四次就职演说翻译
首席大法官先生，副总统先生，我的朋友们：
你们能够理解、并且我相信也会赞同我的愿望，把这次就职典礼办成一个简简单单的仪式，而我则只发表一个简短的演说。
我们今天的美国人和我们的盟友一道，正经历一个最为严峻的考验时期。这是一次对我们的勇气、决心和智慧的考验，也是一次对我们根本性的民主制的考验。我们若能成功而光荣地经受住这次考验，那我们就可以创造具有重要历史意义的业绩，受到人民世世代代的纪念。今天，我伫立于此，在我国同胞的面前，
在我们上帝的面前，进行了庄严的就职宣誓。当此之际，我深知美国的目标要求我们决不能失败。在未来的岁月里，我们要致力于建设一种公正而光荣的和平，建设一种持久的和平，就像我们今天正在为战争的彻底胜利而工作和战斗一样。我们能够而且必将获得这样一种和平。
我们要为完美的局面而奋斗。我们不会马上达到目标，但我们仍要为之奋斗。我们也许会犯下错误，但我们决不能因为丧失意志和抛弃道义原则而犯错误。我至今仍记得我的老校长皮博迪博士在那些对我们
似乎是平安无事的年月说过的话：“生活当中的事情并不永远是平坦顺畅的。有时我们眼看就要登上顶峰，可是情况似乎很快急转直下，又开始走下坡路了。但我们要牢记一个重要事实：明本身的趋向永远是向上的，如果从数个世纪的高峰和低谷之间划出的中线来看，这条线一直都是呈上升趋势的。”
我们1787年的宪法并不是一份完美无缺的文献，而且它至今仍未尽善尽美。但它却提供了一个坚实的基础，供不同种族、不同肤色、不同信仰的各式各样的人们来建立一个牢固的民主大厦。因此，在今天，在1945年这个战争的年头，我们用可怕的代价换取了若干教训，我们会从中获益不浅。我们懂得，单凭我们自己是无法生活在和平之中的，我们自己的富足有赖于相距遥远的其他国家的富足。我们懂得，我们必须像人一样生活，不能像驼鸟，也不能像那些自己不吃也不让他人吃的狗。
我们懂得了要做世界的公民，要成为整个人类社会的成员。我们懂得了一个简单的真理，也就是爱默生所说的：“求友之道，惟有友人。”我们在谋求和平时，如果疑虑重重、互不信任和心怀畏惧，也就不能获得持久的和平。只有满怀来自于信念的理解、信任和勇气而走向和平，我们才能获得持久的和平。
全能的上帝一直以各种方式赐福于我们的国家。他赋予我们的人民坚强的意志和有力的双手，用以为自由和真理而打退各种强大的进攻。他赋予我们的国家一种信仰，在一个苦难深重的世界里，这种信仰已成为各国人民的希望。因此，我们此刻要向上帝祈祷，恳求上帝赐给

肯尼迪总统就职演说（1961年1月20日） Inaugural Address of John F. Kennedy January 20, 1961 Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens: 约翰逊副总统、议长先生、首席大法官先生、艾森豪威尔总统、尼克松副总统、杜鲁门总统、尊敬的牧师、同胞们： 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. 我们今天所看到的，并非是某一党派的胜利，而是自由的庆典。它象征着结束，亦象征着开始；意味着更新，亦意味着变化。因为我已在你们及万能的上帝面前，依着我们先辈175年前写下的誓言宣誓。 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. 世界已然今非昔比，因为人类手中已经掌握了巨大的力量，既可以用来消除各种形式的贫困，亦可用以毁灭人类社会。然而，我们先辈曾为之战斗的那些革命性的信念还依然在世界上受人争议——那就是，每个人享有的各项权利决非来自国家政权的慷慨赐予，而是出自上帝之手。 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. 今天，我们不敢有忘，我们乃是那第一次革命的后裔。此时，让这个声音从这里同时向我们的朋友和敌人传达：火炬现已传递到新一代美国人手中——他们生于本世纪，既经受过战火的锤炼，又经历过艰难严峻的和平岁月的考验。他们深为我们古老的遗产所自豪——决不愿目睹或听任诸项人权受到无形的侵蚀，这些权利不仅为这个国家始终信守不渝，亦是我们正在国内和世界上誓死捍卫的东西。 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.
1974年美国总统福特就职演说
1974年美国总统福特就职演说 （文章一）：1974年美国总统福特就职演说Vice President Gerald Ford was sworn in as the 38th President of the United States after the resignation of President Nixon. President Ford;s Inaugural Address: [Oath of Office administered by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger] Mr. Chief Justice, my dear friends, my fellow Americans: The oath that I have taken is the same oath that was taken by George Washington and by every President under the Constitution. But I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances never before experienced by Americans. This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts. Therefore, I feel it is my first duty to make an unprecedented pact with my countrymen. Not an inaugural address, not a fireside chat, not a caign speech -- just a little straight talk among friends. And I intend it to be the first of many. I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers. And I hope that such prayers will also be the first of many. If you have not chosen me by secret ballot, neither have I gained office by any secret promises. I have not caigned either for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. I have not subscribed to any partisan platform. I am indebted to no man, and only to one woman -- my dear
美国历届总统就职演说词(George Bush)
Inaugural Address of George Bush FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1989 Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. President, Vice President Quayle, Senator Mitchell, Speaker Wright, Senator Dole, Congressman Michel, and fellow citizens, neighbors, and friends: There is a man here who has earned a lasting place in our hearts and in our history. President Reagan, on behalf of our Nation, I thank you for the wonderful things that you have done for America. I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I placed my hand is the Bible on which he placed his. It is right that the memory of Washington be with us today, not only because this is our Bicentennial Inauguration, but because Washington remains the Father of our Country. And he would, I think, be gladdened by this day; for today is the concrete expression of a stunning fact: our continuity these 200 years since our government began. We meet on democracy's front porch, a good place to talk as neighbors and as friends. For this is a day when our nation is made whole, when our differences, for a moment, are suspended. And my first act as President is a prayer. I ask you to bow your heads: Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love. Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely. Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: "Use power to help people." For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people. Help us to remember it, Lord. Amen. I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise. We live in a peaceful, prosperous time, but we can make it better. For a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree. A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken. There are times when the future seems thick as a fog; you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right
美国总统罗斯福小时候的故事
美国总统罗斯福小时候的故事 一个小男孩几乎认为自己是世界上最 不幸的孩子，因为患脊髓灰质炎而留下了瘸腿和参差不齐且突出的牙齿。他很少与同学们游戏或玩耍，老师叫他回答问题时，他也总是低着头一言不发。 在一个平常的春天，小男孩的父亲从邻居家讨了一些树苗，他想把它们栽在房前。他叫他的孩子们每人栽一棵。父亲对孩子们说，谁栽的树苗长得最好，就给谁买一件最喜欢的礼物。小男孩也想得到父亲的礼物。但看到兄妹们蹦蹦跳跳提水浇树的身影，不知怎么地，萌生出一种阴冷的想法：希望自己栽的那棵树早点死去。因此浇过一两次水后，再也没去搭理它。 几天后，小男孩再去看他种的那棵树时，惊奇地发现它不仅没有枯萎，而且还长出了几片新叶子，与兄妹们种的树相比，显得更嫩绿、更有生气。父亲兑现了他的诺言，为小男孩买了一件他最喜欢的礼物，并对他
说，从他栽的树来看，他长大后一定能成为一名出色的植物学家。 从那以后，小男孩慢慢变得乐观向上起来。 一天晚上，小男孩躺在床上睡不着，看着窗外那明亮皎洁的月光，忽然想起生物老师曾说过的话：植物一般都在晚上生长，何不去看看自己种的那颗小树。当他轻手轻脚来到院子里时，却看见父亲用勺子在向自己栽种的那棵树下泼洒着什么。顿时，一切他都明白了，原来父亲一直在偷偷地为自己栽种的那颗小树施肥！他返回房间，任凭泪水肆意地奔流...... 几十年过去了，那瘸腿的小男孩虽然没有成为一名植物学家，但他却成为了美国总统，他的名字叫富兰克林?罗斯福。 爱是生命中最好的养料，哪怕只是一勺清水，也能使生命之树茁壮成长。也许那棵树是那样的平凡、不起眼；也许那棵树是如此的瘦小，甚至还有些枯萎，但只要有养料的浇灌，它就能长得枝繁叶茂，甚至长成参天大树。
(完整版)第18讲肯尼迪总统就职演说
第18讲肯尼迪总统就职演说 ——Inaugural Address of John F. Kennedy 主讲人廖赐仰 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 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
奥巴马宣誓就职演讲词
barack obama’s inaugural address ——美国第44任总统奥巴马宣誓就职的演讲词 英文： my 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 forbearers, 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 irresponsi bility 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. 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 short-cuts 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.
名人故事：美国总统
名人故事：美国总统 在美国历曾诞生了很多有影响力的总统，他们的机智幽默在他们的政治生涯中体现得淋漓尽致，被全世界人们广为传诵。 钱和雨 在卡特的飞机降临在饱受旱灾之苦的得克萨斯某镇之前，该镇忽然下起了雨。卡特踏上滑溜溜的机场跑道，向聚集在那里前来欢迎他的农民们发出微笑，“你们很想要钱或者要雨，”他说：“我拿不出钱，所以我只好带来了雨。” 让人左右不是 约翰逊26岁时曾被任命为全国青年总署德克萨斯州分署署长。他在任期间，对手下人十分严格，喜欢指出他们做错的地方。一次，他走过一个同事的座位，看到他的办公桌子上堆满了文件，就故意提升嗓门说：“我希望你的思想不要像这张桌子一样乱七八糟。”这样，同一个办公室的人都听得一清二楚。这位同事费了好大的劲，才在约翰逊第二次巡视办公室前把文件整理好了，并清理了桌面。约翰逊又来到办公室时，一看原来乱糟糟的桌面变得空空荡荡，于是说：“我希望你的头脑不要像这张桌子一样空荡荡。” 惟一能干的事情 肯尼迪是在1961年当选为美国第35任总统的。他曾在1956年被提名为副总统的竞选中败北于对手凯弗维尔。失败后，他乘飞机去欧洲休养，一天，他在里韦拉他父亲租来的房子前晒太阳，他妹妹的前夫坎菲尔德刚巧从他面前经过。坎菲尔德问他为什么想当总统。“我想这是我惟一能干的事情。”肯尼迪漫不经心地说。 需要大量资金 约翰逊总统向一群商业界头面人物讲了一则轶事，以说明需要大量资金来实行导弹竞赛。故事如下：1861年，一位得克萨斯州人离家
前去参加南军士兵阵营。他告诉他的邻居他很快就会回来，这场战争 不会打的太久，“因为我们能用扫帚柄揍这些北方佬。”两年后，他 才重返故里，少了一条腿。他的邻居向这位神情悲惨、衣衫褴褛的伤 兵询问到底发生了什么事，“你不是说过战争不费力，你们能用扫帚 柄揍这些北方佬吗?”“我们当然能。”这位南军士兵回答，“但是麻 烦在于北方佬不用扫帚柄打仗。” 滑稽的回信 肯尼迪常常幽默地给一些专栏作家写东西，这些东西使这些作家 们既受宠若惊，又感到滑稽有趣。一天肯尼迪收到专栏作家伦纳 德·莱昂斯的一封信，信中说当前总统署名的照片每张价格如下：乔治·华盛顿-175美元；富兰克林·罗斯福75美元；格兰特55美元； 约翰·肯尼迪65美元。肯尼迪回信道：亲爱的伦纳德：承蒙来信告知 肯尼迪亲自署名照片的市场价格。持续上涨的价格现在已如此之高， 这实在令人难以置信。为了防止市场进一步萧条，请恕我不在这封信 上署名。 机智的回敬 在总统候选人的提名过程中，肯尼迪的年轻和孩子般的外表成了 一个不折不扣的不利条件。众议院发言人萨姆·雷伯恩就是攻击肯尼 迪乳臭未干的几个民主党领导人之一。肯尼迪哈哈一笑，把问题抛到 一边，“萨姆·雷伯恩可能认为我年轻。不过对一位已是78岁的人来说，他眼中的绝大部分人都年轻。”不过这个问题始终纠缠着肯尼迪。杜鲁门在一次全国性演讲中向肯尼迪挑战，“我们需要的是一个极其 成熟的人。”这位前总统说。肯尼迪用逻辑和机智回敬了他的挑战。 他说：“如果年龄一直被认为是一个标准的话，那么美国将放弃对44 岁以下所有人的信任。这种排斥可能阻止杰斐逊起草独立宣言，华盛 顿指挥独立战争中的美国军队，麦迪逊成为起草宪法的先驱，哥伦布 去发现新大陆。” 我也一直站着
美国历史上最伟大的总统罗斯福的一生
罗斯福 美国第32任总统富兰克林·D·罗斯福（Franklin D. Roosevelt）（1933—1945），一直被视为美国历史上最伟大的总统之一，是20世纪美国最孚众望和受爱戴的总统，也是美国历史上惟一连任4届总统的人，从1933年3月起，直到1945年4月去世时为止，任职长达12年。曾赢得美国民众长达7 周的高支持率，创下历史记录。 富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福出生于纽约。父亲詹姆斯·罗斯福是一个百万富翁。母亲萨拉·德拉诺比父亲小26岁。罗斯福曾就读于哈佛大学和哥伦比亚大学。1910年任纽约州参议员。1913年任海军部副部长。1921年因患脊髓灰质炎致残。1928年任纽约州长。1932年竞选总统获胜。执政后，以“新政”对付经济危机，颇有成效，故获得1936年、1940年、1944年大选连任。第二次世界大战初，美国采取不介入政策，但对希特勒采取强硬手段，以“租借法”支持同盟国。1941年底，美国参战。罗斯福代表美国两次参加同盟国“三巨头”会议。罗斯福政府提出了轴心国必须无条件投降的原则并得到了实施。罗斯福提出了建立联合国的构想，也得到了实施。63岁时由于脑溢血去世。 罗斯福扯起美国之帆 1945年4月12日，一位现代历史上的巨人与世长辞，他就是富兰克林·罗斯福。雅尔塔会议结束后两个月，身心疲惫的罗斯福在佐治亚温泉休养时，悄然逝去。 架双拐登上总统宝座 1882年1月30日，富兰克林·罗斯福出生在纽约哈得孙河畔一个显贵的家庭里。命运赐给他的是英俊的容貌、善良的性格和聪明的天赋。他14岁进入著名的格罗顿公学学习，四年后来到哈佛大学，并于1901年加入共和党人俱乐部，开始了自己的政治生涯。也正是这一年，他的堂叔西奥多·罗斯福成了美国历史上最年轻的总统。 罗斯福决心仿效堂叔进入政界，并在1910年找到了一鸣惊人的机会。他打算竞选纽约市参议员，但却是以民主党候选人的身份出现。当他把这个决定告诉身为共和党人的总统叔叔时，对方怒而骂道：“你这个卑鄙的兔崽子！你这个叛徒……”但是富兰克林·罗斯福没有改变前进方向。他乘着一辆红色的汽车，每
从历届美国总统就职演说辞中探讨排比在演说词中的使用
摘要：就职演说作为一种特殊的演讲形势，很好的诠释了演说词的深远意义和广泛影响力。本文以美国历届总统就职演说辞为研究对象，对排比的大量使用进行分析，旨在揭示排比修辞法在演讲文体中的巨大作用。排比的使用能给演讲者带来恢弘的气势，使演说的逻辑更加清晰，同时也增强了演说者的感召力，增强了读者和听众对演说词的深刻理解。 关键词：就职演说词；演讲；排比 公众演讲作为一种极为特殊的问题，既不同于日常谈话，也不同于小说、戏剧、诗歌等文学体裁。由于其都是在非常正式的场合，由特定的演讲者直接面向广大听众进行的旨在激起群众的热情，获得听众的支持和认可的一种社会活动，因此使其兼备口语和书面语俩种文体的语言特点同时，有着显著地差异。它扬口语浅显易懂之长，弃口语松散杂乱之短；既保留了书面语庄重文雅之风，又不失口语生动感人之韵，使人听来感到铿锵悦耳，感情充沛，极富感染力和号召力。 美国总统的就职演说是一种在特定场合下的演说。现场听众可达百万之众，并且向国内外进行现场直播。美国民众及世界各国总是对新总统有着无限期待，总统治国理想，对国家所面临的困难和挑战的分析，施政纲领的宣布以及如何实现民众的希望都通过这一就职演讲传达出来。据各大媒体的调查表明，大多数美国民众对美国新当选的总统奥巴马于2009年1月20日做出的就职演说感到满意和非常满意。由此可见，一次演讲所承担的使命以及其所能达到的效果非同凡响。本文以美国历届总统就职演说辞为语料，以排比修辞法的使用为基点进行简要的分析，揭示排比在演讲词中的巨大作用以及其所带来的恢弘气势、清晰地说理与强大的感召力，以增强读者对排比法的深刻理解。 排比（parallelism）是一种修辞手法，它是利用三个或三个以上意义相关或相近，结构相同或相似和语气相同的词组（主谓/动宾）或句子并排，达到一种加强语势的效果。Parallelism:Similarity of construction of adjacent word groups equivalent,complementary,or antithetic in sense esp.for rhetorical effect or rhythm;reiteration in similar phrases （Webster’s Third New International Dictionary of The English Language Unabridged1986）.这种结构的大量运用，使得演讲在句法结构上更加工整，在语篇上更具气势，在感情上更具有感染力。在诸多的美国总统中，每一位总统的就职演说词，都依据各自不同的政治目的，而或多或少的使用到了排比的修辞方法，以下则是笔者从美国历任总统的演说中例选出的经典排比句式。 例1.托马斯.杰斐逊在建国之初，国家建设时期的就职演讲中，排比句的使用感召了国民对进国家建设的热衷，鼓舞了民众士气。 Let us,then,fellow-citizens,unite with one heart and one mind.Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things.And let us reflect that,having banished from our land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled and suffered,we have yet gained little if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic,as wicked,and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions……Let us,then,with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. 公民们，让我们同心同德地团结起来。让我们在社会交往中和睦如初、恢复友爱，如果没有这些，自由，甚至生活本身都会索然寡味，让我们再想一想，我们已经将长期以来造成人类流血、受苦的宗教信仰上的不宽容现象逐出国上，如果我们鼓励某种政治上的不宽容，其专演、邪恶和可能造成的残酷、血腥迫害均与此相仿，那么我们必将无所收获。……因此，让我们以勇气和信心，迫求我们自己的联邦与共和原则，拥戴联邦与代议制政府。 四个Let us…平行排列，从团结到和睦如初，到想一想，最后到以勇气和欣欣追求共和原则，把团结置于首位，加强了感情联络，产生了强烈的感召力。 例2.在维护祖国统一的美国内战时期，林肯于1861年三月四日就职演说中通过排比的句式使用表现其坚定的反对国家分裂、维护国家统一的立场和信念，给我们留下了极其深刻的影响。 It was formed,in fact,by the Articles of Association in 1774.It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in1776.It was further matured,and the faith of all the then thirteen States…… 在三个平行结构的被动句式排比中，强调了联邦条款之于美国联邦的重要性，突出了国家宪法高于一切，人民的利益是以宪法为保障，一切组织和团体行为都要以宪法为依据，因而突出团结高于一切。 例3.在经济大危机施虐全球的30年代，富兰克林·罗斯福于新政改革时期所做的就职演说中，排比的使用加强了人们复苏经济的信心；他在就职演说中大量的使用排比以呼吁美国人摆脱恐惧心理，迅速行动起来应付危机。 The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise…It can be helped by preventing realistically the…It can be helped by 从历届美国总统就职演说辞中探讨 排比在演说词中的使用 贲延青 147
肯尼迪总统1961年1月20日就职演说
FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1961 Vice 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 l 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, in order 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 peoples in the huts and villages across 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.
