我们要努力促进和平与稳定,并在国际舞台上发挥我们的领导作用。
最后,我要呼吁全体美国人民团结起来。
我们必须超越党派之争,抛弃分裂和仇恨,共同为我们的国家的利益而努力。

中学生英语演讲稿:Inaugural Address中学生英语演讲稿:Inaugural AddressTo 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, itcannot 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 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.。

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

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 s tays 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 beensummoned 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 struggle, year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation,”² a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, povert y, 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 god’s work must truly be our own.第二篇:英语演讲稿-Inaugural Addressvice president johnson, mr. speaker, mr. chief justice, president eisenhower, vice president nixon,

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 e 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 mitted, and to which we are mitted 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 wele 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 tofind them strongly supporting their own freedom -- and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of thetiger 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 munists 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 bee 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 preventit from being 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 fort 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 belaboringthose 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 merce.let both sides unite to heed, in all corners of the earth, the mand 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. 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 struggle, year inand year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation,"² a struggle against the mon enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and waritself.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. ido not shrink from this responsibility -- i wele 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.第四篇:英语演讲:farewell to baseball Addresslou gehrig: farewell to baseball Addressfans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break

英语就职演说稿——InauguralAddress
英语就职演说稿——InauguralAddress英语就职演说稿——InauguralAddresssti institutions aording to its on judgment exlusivel, is essential to that balane of poer on hih the perfetion and endurane of our politial fabri depend; and e denoune the laless invasion b armed fore of the soil of an State or Territor, no matter hat pretext, as among the gravest of rimes. I no reiterate these sentiments, and in doing so I onl press upon the publi attention the most onlusive evidene of hih the ase is suseptible that the propert, peae, and seurit of no setion are to be in an ise endangered b the no ining Administration. I add, too, that all the protetion hih, onsistentl ith the Constitution and the las, an be given ill be heerfull given to all the States hen lafull demanded, for hatever ause--as heerfull to one setion as to another. There is muh ontrovers about the delivering up of fugitives from servie or labor. The lause I no read is as plainl ritten in the Constitution as an other of its provisions: No person held to servie or labor in one State, under the las thereof, esaping into another, shall in onsequene of an la or regulation therein be disharged from suh servie or labor, but shall be delivered up on laim of the part to hom suh servieor labor ma be due. It is sarel questioned that thisprovision as intended b those ho made it for the relaiming of hat e all fugitive slaves; and the intention of the lagiveris the la. All members of Congress sear their support to the hole Constitution--to this provision as muh as to an other. To the proposition, then, that slaves hose ases e ithin the terms of this lause shall be delivered up their oaths are unanimous. No, if the ould make the effort in good temper, ould the not ith nearl equalunanimit frame and pass a la b means of hih to keep good that unanimous oath? There is some differene of opinion hether this lause should be enfored b national or b State authorit, but surel that differene is not a ver material one. If the slave is to be surrendered, it an be of but little onsequene to him or to others b hih authorit it is done. And should anone in an ase be ontent that his oath shall go unkept on a merel unsubstantial ontrovers as to ho it shall be kept? Again: In an la upon this subjet ought not all the safeguards of libert knon in ivilized and humane jurisprudene to be introdued, so that a free man be not in an ase surrendered as a slave? And might it not be ell at the same time to provide b la for the enforement of that lause in the Constitution hih guarantees that the itizens of eah State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of itizens in the several States? I take the offiial oath to-da ith no mental reservations and ith no purpose to onstrue theConstitution or las b an hperritial rules; and hile I do not hoose no to speif partiular ats of Congress as proper to be enfored, I do suggest that it ill be muh safer for all, both in offiial and private stations, to onform to and abide b all those ats hih stand uepealed than to violate an of them trusting to find impunit in having them held to be unonstitutional. It is sevent-to ears sine the first inauguration of a President under our National Constitution. During that period fifteen different and greatl distinguished itizens have in suession administered the exeutive branh of the Government. The have onduted it through man perils, and generall ith great suess. Yet, ith all this sope of preedent, I no enter upon the same task for the brief onstitutional term of four ears under great and peuliar diffiult. A disruption of the Federal Union, heretofore onl menaed, is no formidabl attempted. I hold that in ontemplation of universal la and of the Constitution the Union of these States is perpetual. Perpetuit is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental la of all national governments. It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organi la for its on termination. Continue to exeute all the express provisions of our National Constitution, and the Union ill endure forever, it being impossible to destro it exept b some ation not provided for in the instrument itself.Again: If the United States be not a government proper, but an assoiation of States in the nature of ontrat merel, an it, as aontrat, be peaeabl unmade b less than all the parties ho made it? One part to a ontrat ma violate it--break it, so to speak--but does it not require all to lafull resind it? Desending from these general priniples, e find the proposition that in legal ontemplation the Union is perpetual onfirmed b the histor of the Union itself. The Union is muh older than the Constitution. It as formed, in fat, b the Artiles of Assoiation in74. It as matured and ontinued b the Delaration of Independene in76. It as further matured, and the faith of all the then thirteen States expressl plighted and engaged that it should be perpetual, b the Artiles of Confederation in78. And finall, in87, one of the delared objets for ordaining and establishing the Constitution as to form a more perfet Union. But if destrution of the Union b one or b a part onl of the States be lafull possible, the Union is less perfet than before the Constitution, having lost the vital element of perpetuit. It follos from these vies that no State upon its on mere motion an lafull get out of the Union; that resolves and ordinanes to thateffet are legall void, and that ats of violene ithin an State or States against the authoritof the United States are insurretionar or revolutionar, aording to irumstanes. I therefore onsider that in vie of the Constitution and the las the Union is unbroken, and to the extent of m abilit, I shall take are, as the Constitution itself expressl enjoins upon me, that the las of the Union be faithfull exeuted in all the States. Doing this I deem to be onl a simple dut on m part, and Ishall perform it so far as pratiable unless m rightful masters, the Amerian people,shall ithhold the requisite means or in some authoritative manner diret the ontrar. I trust this ill not be regarded as a menae, but onl as the delared purpose of the Union that it ill onstitutionall defend and maintain itself. In doing this there needs to be no bloodshed or violene, and there shall be none unless it be fored upon the national authorit. The poer onfided to me ill be used to hold, oup, and possess the propert and plaes belonging to the Government and to ollet the duties and imposts; but beond hat ma be neessar for these objets, there ill be no invasion, no using of fore against or among the people anhere. Where hostilit to the United States in an interior loalit shall be so great and universal as to prevent petent resident itizens from holding the Federal offies, there ill be no attempt to fore obnoxious strangers among the people for that objet. While the strit legal right ma exist in the Government to enfore the exerise of theseoffies, the attempt to do so ould be so irritating and so nearl impratiable ithal that I deem it better to forego for the time the uses of suh offies. The mails, unless repelled, ill ontinue to be furnished in all parts of the Union. So far as possible the people everhere shall have that sense of perfet seurit hih is most favorable to alm thought and refletion. The ourse here indiated ill be folloed unless urrent events and experiene shall sho a modifiation or hange to be proper, and in ever ase and exigen m best disretion ill be exerised, aording to irumstanes atuall existing and ith a vie and a hope of a peaeful solution of the national troubles and the restoration of fraternal smpathies and affetions. That there are persons in one setion or another ho seek to destro the Union at all events and are glad of an pretext to do it I ill neither affirm nor den; but if there be suh, I need address no ord to them. To those, hoever, ho reall love the Union ma I not speak? Before entering upon so grave a matter as the destrution of our national fabri, ith all its benefits, its memories, and its hopes, ould it not be ise to asertain preisel h e do it? Will ou hazard so desperate a step hile there is an possibilit that an portion of the ills ou fl from have no real existene? Will ou, hile the ertainills ou fl to are greater than all the real ones ou fl from, ill ou risk the mission of so fearful a mistake? All professto be ontent in the Union if all onstitutional rights an be maintained. Is it true, then, that an right plainl ritten in the Constitution has been denied? I think not. Happil, the human mind is so onstituted that no part an reah to the audait of doing this. Think, if ou an, of a single instane in hih a plainl ritten provision of the Constitution has ever been denied. If b the mere fore of numbers a majorit should deprive a minorit of an learl ritten onstitutional right, it might in a moral point of vie justif revolution; ertainl ould if suh right ere a vital one. But suh is not our ase. All the vital rights of minorities and of individuals are so plainl assured to them b affirmations and negations, guaranties and prohibitions, in the Constitution that ontroversies never arise onerning them. But no organi la an ever be framed ith a provision speifiall appliable to ever question hih ma our in pratial administration. No foresight an antiipate nor an doument of reasonable length ontain express provisions forall possible questions. Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered b national or b State authorit?The Constitution does not expressl sa. Ma Congress prohibit slaver in the Territories? The Constitution does not expressl sa. Must Congress protet slaver in the Territories? The Constitution does not expressl sa. From questions of this lass spring all our onstitutional ontroversies, and e divide upon them intomajorities and minorities. If the minorit ill not aquiese,the majorit must, or the Government must ease. There is no other alternative, for ontinuing the Government is aquiesene on one side or the other. If a minorit in suh ase ill seede rather than aquiese, the make a preedent hih in turn illdivide and ruin them, for a minorit of their on ill seedefrom them henever a majorit refuses to be ontrolled b suh minorit. For instane, h ma not an portion of a ne onfedera a ear or to hene arbitraril seede again, preisel as portions of the present Union no laim to seede from it? All ho herish disunion sentiments are no being eduated to the exat temperof doing this. Is there suh perfet identit of interests among the States to pose a ne union as to produe harmon onl and prevent reneed seession? Plainl the entral idea of seessionis the essene of anarh. A majorit held in restraint b onstitutional heks and limitations, and alas hanging easilith deliberate hanges of popular opinions and sentiments, is the onl true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejets it does of neessit fl to anarh or to despotism. Unanimit is impossible. The rule of a minorit, as a permanent arrangement, is holl inadmissible; so that, rejeting the majorit priniple, anarh or despotism in some form is all that is left. I do not forget the position assumed b some that onstitutional questions are to be deided b the Supreme Court, nor do I denthat suh deisions must be binding in an ase upon the parties to a suit as to the objet of that suit, hile the are also entitled to ver high respet and onsideration in all parallel ases b all other departments of the Government. And hile itis obviousl possible that suh deision ma be erroneous in an given ase, still the evil effet folloing it, being limited to that partiular ase, ith the hane that it ma be overruled and never bee a preedent for other ases, an better be borne than ould the evils of a different pratie. At the same time, the andid itizen must onfess that if the poli of the Government upon vital questions affeting the hole people is to be irrevoabl fixed b deisions of the Supreme Court, the instant the are made in ordinar litigation beteen parties in personal ations the people ill have eased to be their on rulers, having to that extent pratiall resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal. Nor is there in this vie an assault upon the ourt or the judges. It is a dut from hih the ma not shrink to deide ases properl brought before them, and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their deisions to politial purposes. One setion of our ountr believes slaver is right and ought to be extended, hile the other believes it is rong and ought not to be extended. This is the onl substantial dispute. The fugitive- slave lause of the Constitution and the la for the suppression of theforeign slave trade are eah as ell enfored, perhaps, as an la an ever be in a munit here the moral sense of the people imperfetl supports the la itself. The great bod of the people abide b the dr legal obligation in both ases, and a fe break over in eah. This, I think, an not be perfetl ured, and itould be orse in both ases after the separation of the setions than before. The foreign slave trade, no imperfetl suppressed, ould be ultimatel revived ithout restrition in one setion,hile fugitive slaves, no onl partiall surrendered, ould notbe surrendered at all b the other. Phsiall speaking, e an not separate. We an not remove our respetive setions from eahother nor build an impassable all beteen them. A husband andife ma be divored and go out of the presene and beond thereah of eah other, but the different parts of ourountr an not do this. The an not but remain fae to fae, and interourse, either amiable or hostile, must ontinue beteen them. Is it possible, then, to make that interourse more advantageous or more satisfator after separation than before? Can aliens make treaties easier than friends an make las? Can treaties bemore faithfull enfored beteen aliens than las an among friends? Suppose ou go to ar, ou an not fight alas; and hen, after muh loss on both sides and no gain on either, ou ease fighting, the idential old questions, as to terms of interourse, are again upon ou. This ountr, ith itsinstitutions, belongs to the people ho inhabit it. Wheneverthe shall gro ear of the existing Government, the an exerise their onstitutional right of amending it or theirrevolutionar right to dismember or overthro it. I an not be ignorant of the fat that man orth and patrioti itizens are desirous of having the National Constitution amended. While I make no remendation of amendments, I full reognize therightful authorit of the people over the hole subjet, to be exerised in either of the modes presribed in the instrument itself; and I should, under existing irumstanes, favor rather than oppose a fair opportunit being afforded the people to at upon it. I ill venture to add that to me the onvention mode seems preferable, in that it allos amendments to originateith the people themselves, instead of onl permitting them to take or rejet propositions originated b others, not espeiall hosen for the purpose, and hih might not be preisel suh asthe ould ish to either aept or refuse. I understand aproposed amendment to the Constitution--hih amendment, hoever, I have not seen--has passed Congress, to the effet that the Federal Government shall never interfere ith the domesti institutions of the States, inluding that of persons held to servie. To avoid misonstrution of hat I have said, I depart from m purpose not to speak of partiular amendments so far as to sa that, holding suh a provision to no be impliedonstitutional la, I have no objetion to its being madeexpress and irrevoable. The Chief Magistrate derives all his authorit from the people, and the have referred none upon him to fix terms for the separation of the States. The people themselves an do this if also the hoose, but the Exeutive as suh has nothing to do ith it. His dut is to administer the present Government as it ame to his hands and to transmit it unimpaired b him to his suessor. Wh should there not be a patient onfidene in the ultimate justie of the people? Isthere an better or equal hope in the orld? In our present differenes, is either part ithout faith of being in the right? If the Almight Ruler of Nations, ith His eternal truth and justie, be on our side of the North, or on ours of the South, that truth and that justie ill surel prevail b the judgmentof this great tribunal of the Amerian people. B the frame of the Government under hih e live this same people have isel given their publi servants but little poer for mishief, and have ith equal isdom provided for the return of that littleto their on hands at ver short intervals. While the people retain their virtue and vigilane no Administration b an extreme of ikedness or foll an ver seriousl injure the Government in the short spae of four ears. M ountrmen, oneand all, think alml and ell upon this hole subjet. Nothing valuable an be lost b taking time. If there be an objet tohurr an of ou in hot haste to a step hih ou ould never take deliberatel, that objet ill be frustrated b taking time; but no good objet an be frustrated b it. Suh of ou as are no dissatisfied still have the old Constitution unimpaired, and, on the sensitive point, the las of our on framing under it; hile the ne Administration ill have no immediate poer, if it ould, to hange either. If it ere admitted that ou ho are dissatisfied hold the right side in the dispute, there stillis no single good reason for preipitate ation.

Ihighl remend Jane Glass for our program and hope that ou illarefull onsider admission appliation. Sinerel, Debra Max Senior Coordinator Heartland Commere Some tips on riting a letter of remendation A good remendation letter an be an asset to our ollege appliation. During admissions, most business shools- undergraduate and graduate- expet to see at least one, preferabl to or three, remendation letters for eah appliant. Remendation letters provide admission mittees ith information that ma or ma not be found in our appliation, inluding XXdemi and ork ahievements, harater referenes, and personal details that set ou apart from other appliants. Essentiall, a remendation letter is a personal referene that explains h the shool should reognize ou, our ahievements, and our harater. Just as a good remendation letter an be an asset, a bad remendation letter an be a hindrane. Here are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind hen seuring our remendation letters: Do’s ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Do hoose so meone ho knos ou ell enough to give ou a remendation. Do get remendations from emploers, professors, shool administration, and anone else ho is familiar ith our ork ethi. Do ask for the remendation in person, rather than sending an email. Do tell the letter riter h ou need the remendation letter. Do mention speifi things that ou ould like to see inluded. Do send a thank ou note afterards. Do keep opies of theletter.You ma need to use it again in the future.Don’ts ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Don’t ait until the last minute. Seure letters of remendation as soon as possible. Don’t ask someone to lie. Don’t ever forge signatures. Don’t hoose someone onl for their title. Pik someone ho has a title AND knos ou ell. Don’t hoose someone ho is a poor riter.Don’t he sitate to get as man remendation letters as possible. Choose the ones that sho ou in the best light. Don’t be surprised if the person ou are asking for a remendationletter asks ou to rite a letter that the ill later modif and sign. This is a mon pratie. Don’t forget to sa please and thank ou. A letter of remendation is a valuable resoure.Good Letters vs Bad Letters Most business shools request to see at least to letters of remendation during the appliation proess. Remendation letters provide admission mittees ith information that ma or ma not be found in our business shool appliation, inluding XXdemi and ork ahievements, harater referenes, and personal details. Good Business Shool Remendations A good remendation letter ill supplement our business shool appliation. It ill also provide speifi examples of our aplishments andor ork ethi. It is ver important to hoose the right person to rite our businessshool remendation. Do not pik someone based on their name and title alone. It ill hurt ou in the long run. You ill be muh better off hoosing someone ho knos ou ell. This person ill beable to provide ou ith an honest, detailed, and heartfelt remendation. The best business shool remendations e from someone ho rites ell, speaks highl of ou, and gives speifis that bak up their laims. Bad Business Shool Remendations Business shool remendations that are poorl ritten an and ill make ou look bad. Before turning in our remendation letter, make sure that it is up to par. Begin b heking for spelling and grammar errors.篇二:中英文工作信 To hom it ma onern, It is m pleasure to remend Mr.Wufor his appliation to ork in our shool.

英语演讲:InauguralAddress英语演讲
英语演讲:InauguralAddress英语演讲Ladies and gentlemen,Thank you for joining me today as we gather to mark a momentous occasion – the inauguration of a new chapter in our collective journey. Today, I stand before you as the newly elected leader entrusted with the responsibility to guide our nation towards a brighter and more prosperous future.First and foremost, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of this great nation for placing their faith in me. It is a humbling experience, and I pledge to honor this trust by dedicating myself wholeheartedly to the service of our country.Today, we find ourselves at a critical juncture in history. The challenges we face are daunting, but let us not forget the indomitable spirit and resilience that define us as a nation. Together, we have weathered storms, triumphed over adversity, and grown stronger in the face of adversity. Now, it is time for us to rise once again.One of the key pillars of our journey towards progress is unity. We must set aside our differences and come together as one nation, with a common purpose and shared goals. It is through collaboration and understanding that we can overcome the obstacles that lie ahead and forge a path of prosperity for all.Education is another cornerstone of our future. We must invest in the education of our youth, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the rapidly changing world. Education is not just a privilege; it is a right that should be afforded to every citizen. By prioritizing education, we are investing in the future of our nation.Furthermore, we cannot overlook the challenges posed by climate change. As stewards of this beautiful planet, it is our duty to protect and preserve it for generations to come. We must embrace sustainable practices, promote clean energy alternatives, and work towards a harmonious coexistence with nature. Only by doing so can we ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and the generations that follow.Finally, I want to emphasize the importance of empathy and compassion in our society. We must look beyond ourselves and extend a helping hand to those in need.Let us build a society that cares for the less fortunate, where everyone has access to quality healthcare, where opportunities for success are not limited by social or economic barriers.In closing, let me reiterate that this inauguration is not just about me, but about all of us. It is about our shared vision for a better tomorrow and our collective responsibility to make it a reality. Together, let us embrace unity, prioritize education, tackle climate change, and foster a compassionate society.Thank you once again for your faith and trust. Let us embark on this journey together and forge a brighter future for our beloved nation.。

世界名人英文演讲 inaugural address
世界名人英文演讲inaugural address Title: "The Power of Unity"Ladies and Gentlemen,Today, we gather in this momentous occasion to celebrate not just an event, but a movement. A movement towards unity, towards a common goal, towards a world that is more equitable and just.In the face of adversity, we have often been told to turn inward, to cling to our differences, to fear the unknown. But today, we stand here and declare that this is not the path we choose to take. We choose unity. We choose understanding. We choose compassion.Unity is not the absence of differences; it is the strength that comes from embracing those differences and finding common ground. It is the power that lies in the convergence of diverse perspectives and experiences. It is what makes us stronger, more resilient, more capable of facing the challenges that lie ahead.As we stand on the threshold of a new era, let us commit ourselves to the principles of unity. Let us commit to listening, understanding, and respecting the viewpoints of others. Let us commit to working together, across divides, to create a world that is more fair, more equal, more just.In the words of a great leader, "Together is how we rose, together is how we will rise again." Let us rise together, hand in hand, towards a future that is brighter than ever before. A future where every voice is heard, every dream is realized, every hope becomes a reality.Thank you.。
英语演讲稿:InauguralAddress
英语演讲稿:InauguralAddressLadies and gentlemen,Thank you for being here today as I stand before you to deliver my inaugural address. This is a significant moment in my life, as it marks the beginning of a new chapter not only for me, but for all of us.First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to the citizens who have entrusted me with the responsibility of leading our great nation. It is an honor that I do not take lightly, and I pledge to dedicate myself wholly to the betterment of our society.Today, we stand at a crossroads. Our world is changing at an unprecedented pace, and we face numerous challenges that require bold and decisive action. We must address issues such as climate change, income inequality, and social injustice head-on. We cannot afford to shy away from these problems any longer.In order to tackle these challenges, we must unite as a nation. Despite our differences, we must remember that at our core, we are all Americans. We may have different beliefs, backgrounds, and perspectives, but we must find common ground and work together towards our shared goals.I believe that America is at its best when we come together in times of adversity. We have a long history of overcoming challenges, and I have no doubt that we can do so again. It is in our collective strength that we will find the solutions to the problems that confront us.Furthermore, we must strive to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for the world. The United States has always been a symbol of freedom and democracy, and we must continue to uphold these values. We must demonstrate that a society where everyone has a fair chance at success is not only possible, but necessary for the progress of humanity.In order to achieve these goals, I call upon each and every one of you to play your part. This is not a task that can be accomplished by one person alone; it requires the efforts of all. Whether you are a student, a worker, or a retiree, there is something that you can do to contribute to the betterment of our society.Let us embrace the challenges before us with open minds and open hearts. Let us work together to create a future where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive. Let us be the change that we wish to see in the world.In closing, I am humbled and honored to be your leader. I pledge to do everything in my power to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to me. Together, we can build a nation that is prosperous, just, and equitable for all.Thank you, and may God bless the United States of America.。

Inaugural Address 就职演说
Inaugural Address 就职演说INAUGURAL ADDRESSJanuary 20, 2009 | Washington, D.C.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 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 afar-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, 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 Sanh . 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 lessinventive, 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, we must 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 our 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 costs. 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. And 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. The 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 the 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, faced with perils that 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 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 we are ready to lead once more.Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with the 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’ll begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old f riends and former foes, we’ll work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our wayof life nor will we waver in its defense. And for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing t error 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 nonbelievers . 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 or blame 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 theyembody 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, honesty and hard work, 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 the knowledge 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 60 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 in 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.。

有多少的激烈争论,我们已经记不清了;有多少嬉闹调侃,我们也记不清了;流了多少委屈,冤枉,莫名的泪水,更记不清了;发出多少次爽朗的快乐的大笑,我们仍旧记不清晰。
总之,这三年里,我们欢乐,我们悲泣;我们迷惑,我们又豁然开朗。
山重水复,柳暗花明;云舒云卷,雁来厣往;桃红柳绿,莺飞草长;教导江山,激扬文字;风风雨雨,阳光明媚;高山流水,大江东去。
我们为古贤垂泪,我们替今雄喝彩。
我们经受过雨后彩虹,雪后初霁。
还伴随鸟语花香,清风缓缓。
我们拥有我们的幻想,幻化的青春和我们的情思,我们的追求,我们的挫折,我们的憾恨。
它们在这里跳动,在这里回荡,在这里实践。
它们落在操场的草坪,它们定格在教室的灯影,还闪烁在花坛草尖花瓣上。
象涓涓的细流,象咆哮的江河。
它们时而激荡,时而平缓,时而迂回曲旋,时而又一路高歌。
但安静时是蓄势,冲闯着是不服,不屈不挠,向前流淌。
这就是我们,也是我们用青春在编织的花环,是我们专心血在谱曲动人的乐章。
它是华美的乐章,是壮丽的乐章,是洪亮的音符,是平凡的真谛!我们永久不会遗忘!我们更企盼明天。
明天,我们可能散布五湖四海,天际海角; 明天,我们将走向各自不同的岗位,八仙过海; 明天,我们将做出骄人的佳绩,名垂清史! 但,明天,不论我们是贫是贱,是富是贵,不论我们在哪里,做什么,请不要遗忘,我们曾是一家人,而且永久是一家人! 我们心相连,我们情相通。
心连地不偏。
我们有事没事常联系,相互问个好,时时道个安。
散聚有时,水绕山转。
盼望我们每个人事业有成,家庭美满,身体健康,潇洒漂亮,那时,我将看到我们再次背起饱满的行囊,驾着自己的奔驰宝马,私人飞机,扑扑身上的尘,踏进母校的门,联系旧时的人,重温过去的文,开启酵封的瓶,牵手往日的情,不辞万里行,查找梦中的魂。

《Inaugural Address》英语演讲稿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 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 hardand 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, theunited 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 sincerityis 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."?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 onethousand 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 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 defendingfreedom 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.。
