克林顿演讲范文篇二Thank you. Thank you, President Chen, Chairmen Ren, Vice President Chi, Vice Minister Wei. We are delighted to be here today with a very large American delegation, including the ≮≮First Lady and our daughter, who is a student at Stanford, one of the schools with which Beijing University has a relationship. We have six members of the United States Congress; the Secretary of State; Secretary of Commerce; the Secretary of Agriculture; the Chairman of our Council of Economic Advisors; Senator Sasser, our Ambassador; the National Security Advisor and my Chief of Staff, among others. I say that to illustrate the importance that the United States places on our relationship with China.I would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university. Gongxi, Beida. (Applause.) As I”m sure all of you know, this campus was once home to Yenching University which was founded by American missionaries. Many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an American architect. Thousands of Americans students and professors have come here to study and teach. We feel a special kinship with you.I am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago. In June of 1919, the first president of Yenching University, John Leighton Stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds. At the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared. They were all out leading the May 4th Movement for China”s political and cultural renewal. When I read this, I hoped that when I walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here. And I thank you for being here, very much. (Applause.)Over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students. Your graduates are spread throughout China and around the world. You have built the largest university library in all of Asia. Last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors. And in this anniversary year, more than a million people in China, Asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site. At the dawn of a new century, this university is leading China into the future.I come here today to talk to you, the next generation of China”s leaders, about the criticalimportance to your future of building a strong partnership between China and the United States.The American people deeply admire China for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology. We remember well our strong partnership in World War II. Now we see China at a moment in history when yourglorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.Just three decades ago, China was virtually shut off from the world. Now, China is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations -- enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development. You have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale. Today, 40,000 young Chinese study in the United States, with hundreds of thousands more learning in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.Your social and economic transformation has been even more remarkable, moving from a closed command economic system to a driving, increasingly market-based and driven economy, generating two decades of unprecedented growth, giving people greater freedom to travel within and outside China, to vote in village elections, to own a home, choose a job, attend a better school. As a result you have lifted literally hundreds of millions of people from poverty. Per capita income has more than doubled in the last decade. Most Chinese people are leading lives they could not have imagined just 20 years ago.Of course, these changes have also brought disruptions in settled patterns of life and work, and have imposed enormous strains on your environment. Once every urban Chinese was guaranteed employment in a state enterprise. Now you must compete in a job market. Once a Chinese worker had only to meet the demands of a central planner in Beijing. Now the global economy means all must match the quality and creativity of the rest of the world. For those who lack the right training and skills and support, this new world can be daunting.In the short-term, good, hardworking people --some, at least will find themselves unemployed. And, as all of you can see, there have been enormous environmental and economic and health care costs to the development pattern and the energy use pattern of the last 20 years -- from air pollution to deforestation to acid rain and water shortage.In the face of these challenges new systems of training and socialsecurity will have to be devised, and new environmental policies and technologies will have to be introduced with the goal of growing your economy while improving the environment. Everything I know about the intelligence, the ingenuity, the enterprise of the Chinese people and everything I have heard these last few days in my discussions with President Jiang, Prime Minister Zhu and others give me confidence that you will succeed.As you build a new China, America wants to build a new relationship with you. We want China to be successful, secure and open, working with us for a more peaceful and prosperous world. I know there are those in China and the United States who question whether closer relations between our countries is a good thing. But everything all of us know about the way the world is changing and the challenges your generation will face tell us that our two nations will be far better off working together than apart.克林顿演讲范文篇三父母是孩子第一任老师,好父母决定孩子一生。

July 31, 200011:07 A.M. EDT Remarks by the President on China atFlorida's New Market ofOpportunity ProgramTHE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. First of all, let me say that I'm delighted to be back in Florida. I'm glad to be here with Jim Davis and my longtime friends, Bill Nelson and Buddy MacKay, who is doing a wonderful job for the United States as our Special Envoy to the Americas. And he did spearhead the passage in the Congress earlier this year the Caribbean Basin Trade Initiative, which is one of the most important things Congress has done this year. It is something I know that will be of special benefit to Florida.I want to just say a few words about this China issue. First of all, it is part of an overall strategy we have followed for almost eight years now. When I became President, it was obvious to me that to turn the economy around, we had to do three things. We had to get rid of the deficit and get interest rates down and get investments up. We had to invest in the new technologies of the future and in the educational capacity of our people and to create a whole network of lifetime learning in America. And we had to expand trade.Whether we like it or not, the economy of every country will become increasingly global and we have to be in a position to take advantage of it. A lot of people who don't agree with my position say that, well, we've still got a big trade deficit. That's true. And the reason we do is because our economy has grown so much more rapidly than that of our major trading partners. A five-year economic slowdown in Japan has contributed to our trade deficit. The collapse of the other Asian economies for a couple of years and the problems that Russia had all contributed to our trade deficit. But if you look to the long-term future, America has got -- if we want to make things, we've got to sell them to somebody. We have 4 percent of the world's population and 22 percent of the world's income. So it's not rocket science to figure out that if you're going to produce this much wealth, you've got to sell it to somebody.And so I believe that -- we have now about 300 trade agreements we've negotiated over eight years under the leadership of Charlene Barshefsky and, before her, Mickey Kantor. I think they've done a great job and, as I said, Buddy MacKay has done a great job. We have enjoyed strong support in a bipartisan fashion from the Florida legislative delegation, and Senator Graham in particular has been very helpful and I'm grateful for that.But this China issue is something special because it involves huge economics, but it goes beyond economics. And I'd just like to mention and make one or two points here. The agreement basically is not like other trade agreements. In all the other trade agreements they really are trade -- we get together and we swap out. You give them something, they give you something, and you work out the best deal you possibly can, and not everybody's happy, but you do it because you think there will be more good than harm.This is really a membership agreement, and it's important that it be understood as that. That is, in order for China to get into the WTO, the members of the World Trading Organization have to agree that China will get in on reasonable commercial terms. So in order to do that, they have to start with the world's largest economy, the United States, and we work out what the reasonable terms would be.Since we have a very large trade deficit with China, which is typical for a country that's developing like that, their markets are more closed to us than our markets are to them. This agreement essentially involves opening China's markets for trade and for investment to an extent that would have been unimaginable even a year or a year-and-a-half ago. Phosphate fertilizer will be affected; citrus will be affected; automobiles and automobile parts and dealerships will be affected. It's all, in that sense, a one-way street in our favor.Now, China will also be able to sell more things to us as it grows more economically diverse and more powerful. So it's a good deal for them because they can modernize their economy.Beyond that, I have to tell you that, for me, while keeping this prosperity going is very important, and in some ways and the great underlying issue that the American people have to decide in this election year -- and I think a big part of it is paying off the debt, for example. We can be out of debt in 12 years. And if we do it, interest rates over the next decade will be at least a point lower than they otherwise would be, and that's lower business loans, $250 billion in lower home mortgage payments, $30 billion in car payments, $15 billion in college loan payments. I think that's very important. But this trade issue must be at the heart of that.Beyond that, as important as all the economics is, you should understand also that this is a big national security issue for the United States. In the last 50, 60 years, we fought three wars with Asia. A lot of blood was shed in World War II and Korea and Vietnam. Now we look to the future and we don't know what the next 50 years will hold and no one can guarantee the future, but we know this -- that if we're trading with people and working with them, there's a lot better chance that we will find peaceful ways to work out whatever differences we have. And the more China is involved in the global economy, the global society, the more likely it is to change and become more democratic, to become more open, to become more transparent and to become a better partner instead of a competitor with us in the Pacific region, and a better neighbor to all the other countries in that area.So I really believe that there are lives at stake here. I believe our futures at stake. And I believe if we can -- if you look at the two largest countries in the world in population, they are China and India. And the Indian Subcontinent together actually has about the same population as China. And if we could affect a peaceful transition in both those places that have greater trade at its core, and greater communications back and forth, the world would be a very different place in the next 50 years and a much better place for all of our children.So I want to tell you all, although I know your interest, properly, is in the benefits that will flow directly to your activities in this state and in this region, the truth is it'sbigger than all that. And it's about what kind of future our kids and our grandkids are going to have.I just want to make one last point, a very practical one. Jim Davis was appropriately modest, but the truth is we had to fight like the devil to get things in the House. And we carried -- and we had a pretty good vote, as it turned out. But it was a very, very hard fight. And it was a harder fight for members of our party. And he showed great courage and great leadership, and you should be very grateful to him because he really stuck it out there. He was very strong, unambiguous -- saying we should do this and it's the right thing for our country. And I'm really proud of him for doing it. (Applause.)Here's the practical issue. We got this bill through the House in a timely fashion. I had very much hoped that we would pass it through the Senate, where it's an easier bill to pass. We've got way more votes than we need to pass it. But we couldn't get it through all the procedural and substantive business of the Senate before the 4th of July and then before the August recess. That means that we have to pass it early in September, as soon as they come back, after both parties have their conventions and the August recess is over.We had a very encouraging vote on procedure that got over 80 votes in the Senate, basically to take it up early. But it is absolutely imperative that this bill be voted in early September. The longer they take to vote on it, the more likely it could be caught up in procedural wrangling in the Senate. The people who are against the bill -- and there are people in both parties that are against the bill, interestingly, though they tend to be, ironically, the most conservative members of the Republican caucus and the most liberal members of the Democratic caucus.But the Senate is set up -- the Senate is set up and was set up by the founders to slow things down. And one member can cause a world of trouble if there are a whole lot of other things going on at the same time. So this is not a done deal. We had 60 people who -- I think there are probably 70 senators for this. And I know that it may be hard for you to imagine that if that's the case that we would have some trouble bringing this up in early September. But, in fact, it is true.I am very grateful to Senator Lott, the Republican leader in the Senate, the Majority Leader, for his amendment to bring this up in early September. This is really an American issue; this should not be a partisan issue. It is a very important economic and a national security issue.But one of the things that I hope to come out at this meeting is that either as an organization or individually, you will make it clear both to your senators, Senator Mack and Senator Graham, but also insofar as you can to the Senate hierarchy, that it is imperative that this be brought up early. The Senate -- the Democratic leader, Senator Daschle, is also strongly in support of what we're doing.But the only worry I have now is that with all the business they still have to do, with all the budgetary issues, and the controversy that inevitably attends the closing weeks of a congressional session in an election year, something procedural could happen that would delay this and you just don't know what's going to happen. And I can tell you that it is profoundly important to our country.So anything you can do to make your voices heard as ordinary Americans on behalf of voting this quickly in September, that's the key. If they vote it early in September, it will pass quick and we will have a better future. Thank you very much. (Applause美文欣赏1、走过春的田野,趟过夏的激流,来到秋天就是安静祥和的世界。

克林顿就职演讲稿中英文对照版My fellow citizens :Today we celebrate the mystery of American renewal.This ceremony is held in the depth of winter. But, by the words we speak and the faces we show the world, we force the spring. A spring reborn in the world's oldest democracy, that bringsforth the vision and courage to reinvent America.When our founders boldly declared America's independence to the world and our purposes to the Almighty, they knew that America, to endure, would have to change. Not change for change's sake,but change to preserve America's ideals; life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. Each generation of Americans must definewhat it means to be an American.On behalf of our nation, I salute my predecessor, President Bush, for his half-century of service to America. And I thank the millions of men and women whose steadfastness and sacrificetriumphed over Depression, fascism and Communism.Today, a generation raised in the shadows of the Cold War assumes new responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom but threatenedstill by ancient hatreds and new plagues.Raised in unrivaled prosperity, we inherit an economy that is still the world's strongest, but is weakened by business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, and deep divisionsamong our people.When George Washington first took the oath I have just sworn to uphold, news traveled slowly across the land by horseback and across the ocean by boat. Now, the sights and sounds of thisceremony are broadcast instantaneously to billions around the world.Communications and commerce are global; investment is mobile; technologyis almost magical; and ambition for a better life is now universal. We earnour livelihood in peaceful competitionwith people all across the earth.Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world, and the urgent question of our time is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy.This new world has already enriched the lives of millions of Americans who are able to compete and win in it. But when most people are working harder for less; when others cannot work at all;when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to bankrupt many of our enterprises, great and small; when fear of crime robslaw-abiding citizens of their freedom; and whenmillions of poor children cannot even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made change our friend.We know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps. But we have not done so. Instead, we have drifted, and that drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, and shaken ourconfidence.Though our challenges are fearsome, so are our strengths. And Americans have ever been a restless, questing, hopeful people. We must bring to our task today the vision and will of those whocame before us.From our revolution, the Civil War, to the Great Depression to the civil rights movement, our people have always mustered the determination to construct from these crises the pillars of ourhistory.Thomas Jefferson believed that to preserve the very foundations of our nation, we would need dramatic change from time to time. Well, my fellow citizens, this is our time. Let us embrace it.Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.And so today, we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift; a new season of American renewal has begun. To renew America, we must be bold. We must do what no generation has had to dobefore. We must invest more in our own people, in their jobs, in their future, and at the same time cut our massive debt. And we must do so in a world in which we must compete for everyopportunity. It will not be easy; it will require sacrifice. But it can be done, and done fairly, not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for our own sake. We must provide for our nationthe way a family provides for its children.Our Founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. We can do no less. Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes wander into sleep knows what posterity is. Posterity is the world to come;the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibility. We must do what America does best: offer more opportunity to all anddemand responsibility from all.It is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing, from our government or from each other. Let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families butfor our communities and our country. To renew America, we mustrevitalize our democracy.This beautiful capital, like every capital since the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who isin and who is out, who is up and who is down, forgetting those people whose toil and sweat sends us here and pays our way.Americans deserve better, and in this city today, there are people who want to do better. And so I say to all of us here, let us resolve to reform our politics, so that power and privilege nolonger shout down the voice of the people. Let us put aside personal advantage so that we can feel the pain and see the promise of America. Let us resolve to make our government a place forwhat Franklin Roosevelt called "bold, persistent experimentation," a government for our tomorrows, not our yesterdays. Let us give this capital back to the people to whom it belongs.To renew America, we must meet challenges abroad as well at home. There is no longer division between what is foreign and what is domestic; the worldeconomy, the world environment, the worldAIDS crisis, the world arms race; they affect us all.Today, as an old order passes, the new world is more free but less stable. Communism's collapse has called forth old animosities and new dangers. Clearly America must continue to lead theworld we did so much to make.While America rebuilds at home, we will not shrink from the challenges, nor fail to seize the opportunities, of this new world. Together with our friends and allies, we will work to shapechange, lest it engulf us.When our vital interests are challenged, or the will and conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with peaceful diplomacy when ever possible, with force whennecessary. The brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf, in Somalia, and wherever else they stand are testament to our resolve.But our greatest strength is the power of our ideas, which are still newin many lands. Across the world, we see them embraced, and we rejoice. Our hopes, our hearts, our hands, are withthose on every continent who are building democracy and freedom. Their cause is America's cause.The American people have summoned the change we celebrate today. You have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus. You have cast your votes in historic numbers. And you have changed theface of Congress, the presidency and the political process itself. Yes, you, my fellow Americans have forced the spring. Now, we must do the work the season demands.To that work I now turn, with all the authority of my office. I ask the Congress to join with me. But no president, no Congress, no government, can undertake this mission alone. My fellowAmericans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. I challenge a new generation of young Americans to a season of service; to act on your idealism by helping troubled children, keepingcompany with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. There is so much to be done; enough indeed for millions of others who are still youngin spirit to give of themselves in service,too.In serving, we recognize a simple but powerful truth, we need each other. And we must care for one another. Today, we do more than celebrate America; we rededicate ourselves to the very ideaof America.An idea born in revolution and renewed through two centuries of challenge. An idea tempered by the knowledge that, but for fate we, the fortunate and the unfortunate, might have been eachother. An idea ennobled by the faith that our nation can summon from its myriad diversity the deepest measure of unity. An idea infused with the conviction that America's long heroic journeymust go forever upward.And so, my fellow Americans, at the edge of the 21st century, let us begin with energy and hope, with faith and discipline, and let us work until our work is done. The scripture says, "Andlet us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not."From this joyful mountaintop of celebration, we hear a call to service in the valley. We have heard the trumpets. We have changed the guard. And now, each in our way, and with God's help, wemust answer the call.Thank you, and God bless you all.同胞们:今天,我们庆祝美国复兴的奇迹。

激励美国,激励世界:克林顿总统两届就职演讲稿中的领袖精神

激励美国,激励世界:克林顿总统两届就职演讲稿中的领袖精神

激励美国,激励世界:克林顿总统两届就职演讲稿中的领袖精神1993年1月20日,比尔·克林顿第一次就任美国总统,并在就职演讲中讲述了他对美国及世界的未来愿景,表达了领袖精神所需的激励和动力,同时也积极地向全球散发着这种精神的力量。

在总统期间,克林顿接连两次在就职演讲中呼吁人们团结一致,为美国和全球的繁荣进步而共同努力。

在克林顿总统的第一次就职演讲中,他强调了美国向一个新的世界发展的需要。

他认为,正是在这样一个“追求更好未来”的时代,美国必须更加努力地迎接新的挑战和机会,同时也需要加倍努力地为全球发展贡献力量。

因此,在这第一次就职演讲中,克林顿总统向全球展示了他的领袖精神,对全球呼吁了一种未来主席,他说:“我们在构建和平、自由、繁荣和健康世界方面所做的贡献,不仅将让我们得到奖励和自豪感,而且将让我们得到全球发展的明显动力。

”在他的第二次就职演讲中,他再次展示了他那富有感染力和鼓舞天性的演说技巧,进一步激励着人们为美国和世界的进步而团结一致。

他指出,虽然我们已经取得了一些进展,但是我们面临的挑战仍然非常大。

这时,他向全球发出了另一个极为重要的信息:美国承认自己作为一个领导大国的责任,美国将为实现全球共同繁荣贡献自己的一份力量。

他说:“我们现在应该向所有人证明,实现繁荣、和平和自由是全球共同的目标。

我们能否实现这个目标,不仅取决于我们能否抓住机会,更重要的是我们采取的行动的持久性和创造性。

正是这种领袖精神,让克林顿总统的就职演讲成为一篇充满激励和启发的文本,成为一种引领美国和世界发展的力量。

这些言论证明了克林顿总统具有一种敏锐的思维、热情和绝妙的个人魅力,同时还展现了他的谦虚和对权力人士的尊重。

他强调了美国作为一个领导大国的责任和义务,同时也希望在全球范围内与其他国家合作,共同解决全球性问题。

这正是领袖精神所需的品质,和克林顿总统在整个任期中向世界所提倡的日益紧密的团结和合作之路。

通过这两次就职演讲,克林顿总统亲自以其智慧、知识和领袖精神予以激励和引导亚洲、欧洲、非洲等地全球领袖人物。

我们需要团结在一起,共同制定我们愿意为之奋斗的目标。

我们需要一起努力,克服我们面临的挑战。

我们需要一个有效的、平等的解决方案,这将有助于我们在未来达成成功。

此外,我们必须加强我们与世界其他国家的合作,共同应对全球性的挑战,比如气候变化、人口增长全球市场的变化和国际恐怖主义。

我们必须认识到,我们现在所面临的问题是与世界其他国家有着密切的联系。

合作是实现成功的关键。

而对于我们国家内部的困境,我们也要采取更加积极的态度。

我们的国家发生过很多不可避免的争议和紧张局势。

但是,在我们克服这些障碍时,我们必须实现团结和合作,这是最重要的。

当我们持有不同的观点时,我们必须对彼此保持尊重,并采取寻求共识的方法。

这不仅是我们团结合作的问题,也是我们国家日益增长的多元化不断壮大的反映。

我们可以采取各种方法来实现团结, 比如促进我们自己的多元化、强调包容性、建立平等的机会、重视教育,以及采取支持公正和平等法律的措施。

在我们的集体生活中,我们也需要更多的团结和合作。

在我们与邻居、同事、朋友和家人的互动中,我们需要更多的宽容、理解和礼貌,以使我们的社会成为一个更美好、更温暖和更团结的地方。

今天,我们要扩展我们的视野,要改革这些伟大的措施,使它们更符合时代的要求。

为了使每个美国人都拥有一份美国的将来,我们的学校要达到最高的标准,我们将建造一个全民拥有资产的社会。

将有更多的人拥有房产和企业,更多的人有退休金和健康保险。

在自由社会的生活挑战面前,我们的人民将泰然自若。

通过让人民自己管理自己的财务和退休计划,我们的人民将进一步从缺乏和担忧中解放出来,我们的社会将更加繁荣和平等。

美国理想中的自由,是公共利益与个人品格的高度一致。

对人诚实和宽容,为人有良心。

民主政府最终要靠自我管理的人民来实现。

人格是在家庭中培养、在社会道德标准上支持、在我们的人民对神的信仰中维持的。

一代复一代,美国人民在对善良和真理的热爱中向前进。

我们对正义和善行的理念始终如一,昨日、今日,直到永远。

美国理想中的自由,是爱己和爱人的高度一致。

人们在社会中对自己的权利的行使,由于他们乐于服务、慈悲为怀、怜惜弱者的行为而更显得高尚。

彻底的自由并不等于彻底的隔绝。

我们国家需要我们大家互相关心、互相爱护。

美国人民尊重生命。

我们必须记住,每个人都有他的价值。

我们必须彻底摈弃种族歧视的恶习,因为我们无法带着种族偏见去宣扬自由。

我们这一代人有没有推动自由事业的发展?我们的人格与国格对自由事业有没有助益?这些大是大非的问题也是使我们团结起来的巨大动力。

美国人,不管来自哪个党派哪个背景,不管是生而为美国人的还是自愿为美国人的,都在自由事业上团结在一起。

我们确有分裂,必须求大同存小异,弥补裂痕,我将尽力带头去做。

比尔克林顿就职演讲稿范文钱尼副总统、大法官先生、卡特总统、布什总统、克林顿总统、尊敬的神职领袖、尊贵的客人们、公民同胞们:今天,按照法律的规定并以典礼的形式,我们颂扬我们的智慧长存的宪法及其把我们凝聚在一起的坚定许诺。

我十分感激你们给我的这个光荣时刻,十分清楚地认识我们所处的这个伟大时代,并一定要实现我刚刚所作的、你们所见证的誓言。

值此我第二次就职典礼的时刻,我们的职责不是由我的话,而是由我们一起经历的历史来定义了。

在长达半个世纪的时间里,我们曾以保卫我们的祖国不受侵犯来保卫我们的自由。

共产主义阵营垮台以后,我们曾有过一段相对安宁、安逸、安乐的年月。

然后,有一天,烈火烧到了我们的家园。

我们看到了我们被攻击的现实,及其这个现实的根本原因。

因为只要世界上一些地区还充满邪恶和**,只要他们不断向民众灌输仇恨并为屠杀制造借口,就一定会有暴力的发生和发展。

这种破坏性的邪恶势力会穿透防卫森严的边界,对人民生命产生威胁。

历史上只有一种力量可以粉碎刻毒和仇恨对人的控制,并暴露**者的邪恶,更给善良和宽容的人们带来希望,那就是人类自由的力量。

已经发生的事件和我们的常识引出了这样一个结论:我们领土上的自由要得以持久,越来越取决于世界其他地方自由的成败。

世界和平的最大希望是自由遍及全球。

美国的生死存亡与我们的信念已经不可分割了。

建国之日,我们就宣告,人类的每一个成员都有人权和尊严,其生命是不可计价的,因为人类具有造物主的形像。

世代以来,我们一直在强调人民自我管理的重要意义,因为没有一个人配得上作人民的主子,也没有一个人活该当奴隶。

我们的建国过程,就是我们宣扬这个理念的过程。

它是我们开国先辈们的光荣成就。

克林顿就职演讲稿-中英文对照Inaugural Address of George W. Bush January 20 2001 President Clinton distinguished guests and my fellow citizens: The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history yet common in our country. With asimple oath we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings. As I begin I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation and I thank VicePresident Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace. I am honored and humbled to stand here where so many of Americas leaders havecome before me and so many will follow. We have a place all of us in a long story. A story we continue but whose end we willnot see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old a storyof a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom the story of a power thatwent into the world to protect but not possess to defend but not to conquer. It is theAmerican story. A story of flawed and fallible people united across the generations bygrand and enduring ideals. The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promisethat everyone belongs that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person wasever born. Americans are called upon to enact this promise in our lives and in our lawsand though our nation has sometimes halted and sometimes delayed we must follow noother course. Through much of the last century Americas faith in freedom and democracy was arock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind taking root in many nations. Ourdemocratic faith is more than the creed of our country it is the inborn hope of ourhumanity an ideal we carry but do not own a trust we bear and pass along and evenafter nearly 225 years we have a long way yet to travel. While many of our citizens prosper others doubt the promise even the justice of ourown country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hiddenprejudice and the circumstances of their birth and sometimes our differences run so deepit seems we share a continent but not a country. We do not accept this and we will notallow it. Our unity our union is the serious work of leaders and citizens in everygeneration and this is my solemn pledge I will work to build a single nation of justice andopportunity. I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger thanourselves who creates us equal in His image and we are confident in principles that uniteand lead us onward. America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals thatmove us beyond our backgrounds lift us above our interests and teach us what it meansto be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold themand every immigrant by embracing these ideals makes our country more not lessAmerican. Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nations promise through civilitycourage compassion and character. America at its best matches a commitment toprinciple with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will andrespect fair dealing and forgiveness. Some seem to believe that our politics can afford tobe petty because in a time of peace the stakes of our debates appear small. But thestakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom itwill not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character wewill lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift anddecline the vulnerable will suffer most. We must live up to the calling we share. Civility isnot a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism of communityover chaos. This commitment if we keep it is a way to shared accomplishment. America at its best is also courageous. Our national courage has been clear in timesof depression and war when defending common dangers defined our common good.Nowwe must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemnus. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead ofpassing them on to future generations. Together we will reclaim Americas schools before ignorance and apathy claim moreyoung lives we will reform Social Security and Medicare sparing our children fromstruggles we have the power to prevent we will reduce taxes to recover the momentumof our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans we will buildour defenses beyond challenge lest weakness invite challenge and we will confrontweapons of mass destruction so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake America remainsengaged in the world by history and by choice shaping a balance of power that favorsfreedom. We will defend our allies and our interests we will show purpose withoutarrogance we will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength and to allnations we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth. America at its best is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience we knowthat deep persistent poverty is unworthy of our nations promise. Whatever our views ofits cause we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse arenot acts of God they are failures of love. The proliferation of prisons however necessaryis no substitute for hope and order in our souls. Where there is suffering there is duty.Americans in need are not strangers they are citizens not problems but priorities and allof us are diminished when any are hopeless. Government has great responsibilities forpublic safety and public health for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is thework of a nation not just a government. Some needs and hurts are so deep they will onlyrespond to a mentors touch or a pastors prayer. Church and charity synagogue andmosque lend our communities their humanity and they will have an honored place in ourplans and in our laws. Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty but we canlisten to those who do. I can pledge our nation to a goal When we see that woundedtraveler on the road to Jericho we will not pass to the other side. America at its best is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats it is a call to conscience.Though it requires sacrifice it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life notonly in options but in commitments. We find that children and community are thecommitments that set us free. Our public interest depends on private character on civicduty and family bonds and basic fairness on uncounted unhonored acts of decencywhich give direction to our freedom. Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. Butas a saint of our times has said every day we are called to do small things with great love.The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone. I will live and lead bythese principles to advance my convictions with civility to pursue the public interest withcourage to speak for greater justice and compassion to call for responsibility and try tolive it as well. In all of these ways I will bring the values of our history to the care of ourtimes. What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek acommon good beyond your comfort to defend needed reforms against easy attacks toserve your nation beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens. Citizens notspectators citizens not subjects responsible citizens building communities of serviceand a nation of character. Americans are generous and strong and decent not because we believe in ourselvesbut because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missingno government program can replace it. When this spirit is present no wrong can standagainst it. After the Declaration of Independence was signed Virginia statesman John Pagewrote to Thomas Jefferson We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to thestrong.Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm Much timehas passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changesaccumulate but the themes of this day he would know our nations grand story ofcourage and its simple dream of dignity. We are not this storys author who fills time and eternity with His purpose. Yet Hispurpose is achieved in our duty and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another. Nevertiring never yielding never finishing we renew that purpose today to make our countrymore just and generous to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life. This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind anddirects this storm. God bless you all and God bless America.参考中文翻译: 乔治-布什2001 年就职演说谢谢大家尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官,卡特总统,布什总统,克林顿总统,尊敬的来宾们,我的同胞们,这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的,但在美国是平常的。

克林顿英文演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,。

It is a great honor for me to stand before you today and deliver this speech in the English language. As a former President of the United States, I have had the privilege of addressing many audiences around the world, but I must say that speaking to you today is particularly special.I want to take this opportunity to talk about the importance of diplomacy and cooperation between nations. In today's interconnected world, it is more important than ever for countries to work together to address the challenges that we all face. Whether it is climate change, global health crises, or economic instability, these are issues that no single country can solve on its own. We must come together as a global community to find solutions that benefit all of humanity.I believe that the United States has a crucial role to play in this endeavor. As a nation with significant resources and influence, we have a responsibility to lead by example and to work with other countries to promote peace and prosperity. This means engaging in open and honest dialogue, respecting the sovereignty of other nations, and finding common ground on which to build a better future for all.Of course, this is not always easy. There will always be disagreements and conflicts between nations, but it is essential that we find ways to resolve these differences peacefully. This requires patience, understanding, and a willingness to listen to the perspectives of others. It also requires a commitment to upholding the principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.I am optimistic about the future, despite the many challenges that we face. I believe that by working together, we can overcome these challenges and build a more just and equitable world for future generations. This will require courage, determination, and a willingness to take bold action when necessary. It will also require a spirit of cooperation and a recognition that we are all in this together.In closing, I want to thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today. I hope that my words have inspired you to continue working towards a better future for all. Let us remember that we are stronger when we stand united, and that by working together, we can achieve great things.Thank you.。

克林顿为美总统奥巴马竞选所作的助阵演讲辞

克林顿为美总统奥巴马竞选所作的助阵演讲辞

克林顿为美总统奥巴马竞选所作的助阵演讲全文We're here to nominate a president, and I've got one in mind.I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty. A man who ran for president to change the course of an already weak economy and then just six weeks before the election, saw it suffer the biggest collapse since the Great Depression. A man who stopped the slide into depression and put us on the long road to recovery, knowing all the while that no matter how many jobs were created and saved, there were still millions more waiting, trying to feed their children and keep their hopes alive.I want to nominate a man cool on the outside but burning for America on the inside. A man who believes we can build a new American Dream economy driven by innovation and creativity, education and cooperation. A man who had the good sense to marry Michelle Obama.I want Barack Obama to be the next president of the United States and I proudly nominate him as the standard bearer of the Democratic Party.In Tampa, we heard a lot of talk about how the president and the Democrats don't believe in free enterprise and individual initiative, how we want everyone to be dependent on the government, how bad we are for the economy.The Republican narrative is that all of us who amount to anything are completely self-made. One of our greatest Democratic chairmen, Bob Strauss, used to say that every politician wants you to believe he was born in a log cabin he built himself, but it ain't so.We Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future, with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think "we're all in this together" is a better philosophy than "you're on your own."Who's right? Well, since 1961, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector jobs. What's the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million.It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us.Though I often disagree with Republicans, I never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate President Obama and the Democrats. After all, President Eisenhower sent federal troops to my home state to integrate Little Rock Central High and built the interstate highway system. And as governor, I worked with President Reagan on welfare reform and with President George H.W. Bush on national education goals. I am grateful to President George W. Bush for PEPFAR, which is saving the lives of millions of people in poor countriesand to both Presidents Bush for the work we've done together after the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.Through my foundation, in America and around the world, I work with Democrats, Republicans and Independents who are focused on solving problems and seizing opportunities, not fighting each other.When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody's right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day. All of us are destined to live our lives between those two extremes. Unfortunately, the faction that now dominates the Republican Party doesn't see it that way. They think government is the enemy, and compromise is weakness.One of the main reasons America should re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to cooperation. He appointed Republican secretaries of defense, the army and transportation. He appointed a vice president who ran against him in 2008, and trusted him to oversee the successful end of the war in Iraq and the implementation of the recovery act. And Joe Biden did a great job with both. He appointed Cabinet members who supported Hillary in the primaries. Heck, he even appointed Hillary. I'm so proud of her and grateful to our entire national security team for all they've done to make us safer and stronger and to build a world with more partners and fewer enemies. I'm also grateful to the young men and women who serve our country in the military and to Michelle Obama and Jill Biden for supporting military families when their loved ones are overseas and for helping our veterans, when they come home bearing the wounds of war, or needing help with education, housing, and jobs.President Obama's record on national security is a tribute to his strength, and judgment, and to his preference for inclusion and partnership over partisanship.He also tried to work with congressional Republicans on health care, debt reduction, and jobs, but that didn't work out so well. Probably because, as the Senate Republican leader, in a remarkable moment of candor, said two years before the election, their No. 1 priority was not to put America back to work, but to put President Obama out of work.Senator, I hate to break it to you, but we're going to keep President Obama on the job.In Tampa, the Republican argument against the president's re-election was pretty simple: we left him a total mess, he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.In order to look like an acceptable alternative to President Obama, they couldn't say much about the ideas they have offered over the last two years. You see they want to go back to the same old policies that got us into trouble in the first place: to cut taxes for high income Americans even more than President Bush did; to get rid of those pesky financial regulations designed to prevent another crash and prohibit future bailouts; to increase defense spending $2 trillion more than the Pentagon has requested without saying what they'll spend the money on; to make enormous cuts in the rest of the budget, especially programs that help the middle class and poor kids. As another president once said— there they go again.I like the argument for President Obama's re-election a lot better. He inherited a deeply damaged economy, put a floor under the crash, began the long hard road to recovery, and laid the foundation for a modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses, and lots of new wealth for the innovators.Are we where we want to be? No. Is the president satisfied? No. Are we better off than we were when he took office, with an economy in free fall, losing 750,000 jobs a month. The answer is yes.I understand the challenge we face. I know many Americans are still angry and frustrated with the economy. Though employment is growing, banks are beginning to lend and even housing prices are picking up a bit, too many people don't feel it.I experienced the same thing in 1994 and early 1995. Our policies were working and the economy was growing but most people didn't feel it yet. By 1996, the economy was roaring, halfway through the longest peacetime expansion in American history.President Obama started with a much weaker economy than I did. No president— not me or any of my predecessors could have repaired all the damage in just four years. But conditions are improving and if you'll renew the President's contract you will feel it.I believe that with all my heart.President Obama's approach embodies the values, the ideas, and the direction America must take to build a 21st century version of the American Dream in a nation of shared opportunities, shared prosperity and shared responsibilities.So back to the story. In 2010, as the president's recovery program kicked in, the job losses stopped and things began to turn around.The Recovery Act saved and created millions of jobs and cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people. In the last 29 months the economy has produced about 4.5 million private sector jobs. But last year, the Republicans blocked the president's jobs plan costing the economy more than a million new jobs. So here's another jobs score: President Obama plus 4.5 million, congressional Republicans zero.Over that same period, more than more than 500,000 manufacturing jobs have been created under President Obama—the first time manufacturing jobs have increased since the 1990s.The auto industry restructuring worked. It saved more than a million jobs, not just at GM, Chrysler and their dealerships, but in auto parts manufacturing all over the country. That's why even auto-makers that weren't part of the deal supported it. They needed to save the suppliers too. Like I said, we're all in this together.Now there are 250,000 more people working in the auto industry than the day the companies were restructured. Gov. Romney opposed the plan to save GM and Chrysler. So here's another jobs score: Obama 250,000, Romney, zero.The agreement the administration made with management, labor and environmental groups to double car mileage over the next few years is another good deal: it will cut your gas bill in half, make us more energy independent, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and add another 500,000 good jobs.President Obama's "all of the above" energy plan is helping too— the boom in oil and gas production combined with greater energy efficiency has driven oil imports to a near 20 year low and natural gas production to an all-time high. Renewable energy production has also doubled.We do need more new jobs, lots of them, but there are already more than three million jobs open and unfilled in America today, mostly because the applicants don't have the required skills. We have to prepare more Americans for the new jobs that are being created in a world fueled by new technology. That's why investments in our people are more important than ever. The president has supported community colleges and employers in working together to train people for open jobs in their communities. And, after a decade in which exploding college costs have increased the drop-out rate so much that we've fallen to 16th in the world in the percentage of our young adults with college degrees, his student loan reform lowers the cost of federal student loans and even more important, gives students the right to repay the loans as a fixed percentage of their incomes for up to 20 years. That means no one will have to drop-out of college for fear they can't repay their debt, and no one will have to turn down a job, as a teacher, a police officer or a small town doctor because it doesn't pay enough to make the debt payments. This will change the future for young Americans.I know we're better off because President Obama made these decisions.That brings me to health care.The Republicans call it Obamacare and say it's a government takeover of health care that they'll repeal. Are they right? Let's look at what's happened so far. Individuals and businesses have secured more than a billion dollars in refunds from their insurance premiums because the new law requires 80 percent to 85 pecent of your premiums to be spent on health care, not profits or promotion. Other insurance companies have lowered their rates to meet the requirement. More than 3 million young people between 19 and 25 are insured for the first time because their parents can now carry them on family policies. Millions of seniors are receiving preventive care including breast cancer screenings and tests for heart problems. Soon the insurance companies, not the government, will have millions of new customers many of them middle class people with pre-existing conditions. And for the last two years, health care spending has grown under 4 pecent, for the first time in 50 years.So are we all better off because President Obama fought for it and passed it? You bet we are.There were two other attacks on the president in Tampa that deserve an answer. Both Gov. Romney and congressman Ryan attacked the president for allegedly robbing Medicare of $716 billion. Here's what really happened. There were no cuts to benefits. None. What the president did was save money by cutting unwarranted subsidies to providers and insurance companies that weren't making people any healthier. He used the saving to close the donut hole in the Medicare drug program, and to add eight years to the life of the Medicare Trust Fund. It's now solvent until 2024. So President Obama and the Democrats didn't weaken Medicare, they strengthened it.When congressman Ryan looked into the TV camera and attacked PresidentObama's "biggest coldest power play" in raiding Medicare, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You see, that $716 billion is exactly the same amount of Medicare savings congressman Ryan had in his own budget.At least on this one, Gov. Romney's been consistent. He wants to repeal the savings and give the money back to the insurance companies, re-open the donut hole and force seniors to pay more for drugs, and reduce the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by eight years. So now if he's elected and does what he promised Medicare will go broke by 2016. If that happens, you won't have to wait until their voucher program to begins in 2023 to see the end Medicare as we know it.But it gets worse. They also want to block grant Medicaid and cut it by a third over the coming decade. Of course, that will hurt poor kids, but that's not all. Almost two-thirds of Medicaid is spent on nursing home care for seniors and on people with disabilities, including kids from middle class families, with special needs like, Down syndrome or autism. I don't know how those families are going to deal with it. We can't let it happenNow let's look at the Republican charge that President Obama wants to weaken the work requirements in the welfare reform bill I signed that moved millions of people from welfare to work.Here's what happened. When some Republican governors asked to try new ways to put people on welfare back to work, the Obama administration said they would only do it if they had a credible plan to increase employment by 20 percent. You hear that? More work. So the claim that President Obama weakened welfare reform's work requirement is just not true. But they keep running ads on it. As their campaign pollster said "we're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers." Now that is true. I couldn't have said it better myself— I just hope you remember that every time you see the ad.Let's talk about the debt. We have to deal with it or it will deal with us. President Obama has offered a plan with $4 trillion in debt reduction over a decade, with $2 of spending reductions for every $1 of revenue increases, and tight controls on future spending. It's the kind of balanced approach proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission.I think the president's plan is better than the Romney plan, because the Romney plan fails the first test of fiscal responsibility: The numbers don't add up.It's supposed to be a debt reduction plan but it begins with $5 trillion in tax cuts over a 10-year period. That makes the debt hole bigger before they even start to dig out. They say they'll make it up by eliminating loopholes in the tax code. When you ask "which loopholes and how much?" they say, "See me after the election on that."People ask me all the time how we delivered four surplus budgets. What new ideas did we bring? I always give a one-word answer: arithmetic. If they stay with a $5 trillion tax cut in a debt reduction plan— the— arithmetic tells us that one of three things will happen:1) they'll have to eliminate so many deductions like the ones for home mortgages and charitable giving that middle class families will see their tax bill go up $2,000 year while people making over $3 million a year get will still get a 250,000 dollar taxcut; or2) they'll have to cut so much spending that they'll obliterate the budget for our national parks, for ensuring clean air, clean water, safe food, safe air travel; or they'll cut way back on Pell Grants, college loans, early childhood education and other programs that help middle class families and poor children, not to mention cutting investments in roads, bridges, science, technology and medical research; or3) they'll do what they've been doing for thirty plus years now— cut taxes more than they cut spending, explode the debt, and weaken the economy. Remember, Republican economic policies quadrupled the debt before I took office and doubled it after I left. We simply can't afford to double-down on trickle-down.President Obama's plan cuts the debt, honors our values, and brightens the future for our children, our families and our nation.My fellow Americans, you have to decide what kind of country you want to live in. If you want a you're on your own, winner take all society you should support the Republican ticket. If you want a country of shared opportunities and shared responsibilities—a "we're all in it together" society, you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. If you want every American to vote and you think it's wrong to change voting procedures just to reduce the turnout of younger, poorer, minority and disabled voters, you should support Barack Obama. If you think the president was right to open the doors of American opportunity to young immigrants brought here as children who want to go to college or serve in the military, you should vote for Barack Obama. If you want a future of shared prosperity, where the middle class is growing and poverty is declining, where the American Dream is alive and well, and where the United States remains the leading force for peace and prosperity in a highly competitive world, you should vote for Barack Obama.I love our country— and I know we're coming back. For more than 200 years, through every crisis, we've always come out stronger than we went in. And we will again as long as we do it together. We champion the cause for which our founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor— to form a more perfect union.If that's what you believe, if that's what you want, we have to re-elect President Barack Obama.God bless you — God bless America.。

克林顿英语演讲稿范文克林顿英语演讲稿范文1thank you! thank you all so much.it's great to be here with all of you. i'm looking out at the audience and seeing so many familiarfaces, as well as those here up on the dais.i want to thank kevin for his introduction and his leadership of this organization.mayor lee, thanks for having us in your beautiful city.it is for me a great treat to come back to address a group that, as you just heard, i spent a lotof time as senator working with–in great measure because of the need for buttressinghomeland security, as well as other challenges within our cities during the eight years i servedin the senate.and it was always refreshing to come here because despite whatever was going on in congressor washington with respect to partisanship, a conference of mayors was truly like an oasis inthe desert. i could come here and be reminded of what mayor laguardia said, "there's norepublican or democratic way to pick up the garbage. you pick it up, or you don't pick it up."and i loved being with people who understood that.i've learned over the years how important it is to work with city hall, to try to make sure we areconnected up as partners and to get whatever the priorities of your people happen to beaccomplished.so it pays. it pays to work with you, and i am grateful to have this opportunity to come backand see you.when i was senator from new york, i not only worked with the mayor of new york city, ofcourse, i worked with creative andcommitted mayors from buffalo to rochester to syracuseto albany and so many other places.and i was particularly happy to do so because they were always full of ideas and eager to worktogether to attract more high-paying jobs, to revitalize downtowns, to support our firstresponders, to try to close that skills gap.and i want you to be sure of this, whether you are a democrat, a republican or anindependent: if i am president, america's mayors will always have a friend in the white house.now, as i was preparing to come here, i couldn't help but think of some of those who aren'twith us today.tom menino was a dear friend to me, and to many in this room, and i certainly feel his loss.today, our thoughts are also with our friend joe riley and the people of charleston. joe's a goodman and a great mayor, and his leadership has been a bright light during such a dark time.you know, the passing of days has not dulled the pain or the shock of this crime. indeed, as wehave gotten to know the faces and names and stories of the victims, the pain has onlydeepened.nine faithful women and men, with families and passions and so much left to do.as a mother, a grandmother, a fellow human being, my heart is bursting for them. for thesevictims and their families. for a wounded community and a wounded church. for our countrystruggling once again to make sense of violence that is fundamentally senseless, and historywe desperately want to leave behind.yesterday was juneteenth, a day of liberation and deliverance. one-hundred and fifty years ago,as news of president lincoln'semancipation proclamation spread from town to town across thesouth, free men and women lifted their voices in song and prayer.congregations long forced to worship underground, like the first christians, joyfullyresurrected their churches.in charleston, the african methodist episcopal church took a new name: emanuel. "god is withus."faith has always seen this community through, and i know it will again.just as earlier generations threw off the chains of slavery and then segregation and jim crow,this generation will not be shackled by fear and hate.on friday, one by one, grieving parents and siblings stood up in court and looked at that youngman, who had taken so much from them, and said: "i forgive you."in its way, their act of mercy was more stunning than his act of cruelty.it reminded me of watching nelson mandela embrace his former jailers because, he said, hedidn't want to be imprisoned twice, once by steel and concrete, once by anger and bitterness.in these moments of tragedy, many of us struggle with how to process the rush of emotions.i'd been in charleston that day. i'd gone to a technical school, trident tech. i had seen thejoy, the confidence and optimism of young people who were now serving apprenticeships withlocal businesses, black, white, hispanic, asian, every background. i listened to their stories, ishook their hands, i saw the hope and the pride.and then by the time i got to las vegas, i read the news.like many of you, i was so overcome: how to turn grief, confusioninto purpose and action?but that's what we have to do.for me and many others, one immediate response was to ask how it could be possible that weas a nation still allow guns to fall into the hands of people whose hearts are filled with hate.you can't watch massacre after massacre and not come to the conclusion that, as presidentobama said, we must tackle this challenge with urgency and conviction.now, i lived in arkansas and i represented upstate new york. i know that gun ownership ispart of the fabric of a lot of law-abiding communities.but i also know that we can have commonsense gun reforms that keep weapons out of thehands of criminals and the violently unstable, while respecting responsible gun owners.what i hope with all of my heart is that we work together to make this debate less polarized,less inflamed by ideology, more informed by evidence, so we can sit down across the table,across the aisle from one another, and find ways to keep our communities safe while protectingconstitutional rights.it makes no sense that bipartisan legislation to require universal background checks wouldfail in congress, despite overwhelming public support.it makes no sense that we wouldn't come together to keep guns out of the hands of domesticabusers, or people suffering from mental illnesses, even people on the terrorist watch list. thatdoesn't make sense, and it is a rebuke to this nation we love and care about.the president is right: the politics on this issue have been poisoned. but we can't give up. thestakes are too high. the costs are too dear.and i am not and will not be afraid to keep fighting for commonsense reforms, and along withyou, achieve those on behalf ofall who have been lost because of this senseless gun violencein our country.but today, i stand before you because i know and you know thereis a deeper challenge weface.i had the great privilege of representing america around the world. i was so proud to shareour example, our diversity, our openness, our devotion to human rights and freedom. thesequalities have drawn generations of immigrants to our shores, and they inspire people still. ihave seen it with my own eyes.and yet, bodies are once again being carried out of a black church.once again, racist rhetoric has metastasized into racist violence.now, it's tempting, it is tempting to dismiss a tragedy like this as an isolated incident, tobelieve that in today's america, bigotry is largely behind us, that institutionalized racism nolonger exists. but despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, america's long struggle with race is far fromfinished.i know this is a difficult topic to talk about. i know that so many of us hoped by electing ourfirst black president, we had turned the page on this chapter in our history.i know there are truths we don't like to say out loud or discuss with our children. but we haveto. that's the only way we can possibly move forward together.race remains a deep fault line in america. millions of people of color still experience racism intheir everyday lives.here are some facts.in america today, blacks are nearly three times as likely as whites to be denied a mortgage.in 20某某, the median wealth of black families was around$11,000. for white families, it wasmore than $134,000.nearly half of all black families have lived in poor neighborhoods for at least two generations,compared to just 7 percent of white families.african american men are far more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged withcrimes, and sentenced to longer prison terms than white men, 10 percent longer for the samecrimes in the federal system.in america today, our schools are more segregated than they were in the 1960s.how can any of that be true? how can it be true that black children are 500 percent more likelyto die from asthma than white kids? five hundred percent!more than a half century after dr. king marched and rosa parks sat and john lewis bled, afterthe civil rights act and the voting rights act and so much else, how can any of these things betrue? but they are.and our problem is not all kooks and klansman. it's also in the cruel joke that goesunchallenged. it's in the off-hand comments about not wanting "those people" in theneighborhood.let's be honest: for a lot of well-meaning, open-minded white people, the sight of a youngblack man in a hoodie still evokes a twinge of fear. and news reports about poverty and crimeand discrimination evoke sympathy, even empathy, but too rarely do theyspur us to actionor prompt us to question our own assumptions and privilege.we can't hide from any of these hard truths about race andjustice in america. we have toname them and own them and then change them.you may have heard about a woman in north carolina named debbie dills. she's the one whospotted dylann roof's car on the highway. she could have gone on about her business. shecould have looked to her own safety. but that's not what she did. she called the police and thenshe followed that car for more than 30 miles.as congressman jim clyburn said the other day, "there may be alot of dylann roofs in theworld, but there are a lot of debbie dills too. she didn't remain silent."well, neither can we. we all have a role to play in building a more tolerant, inclusive society,what i once called "a village," where there is a place for everyone.you know, we americans may differ and bicker and stumble and fall, but we are at our bestwhen we pick each other up, when we have each other's back.like any family, our american family is strongest when we cherish what we have in common,and fight back against those who would drive us apart.mayors are on the front lines in so many ways. we look to you for leadership in time of crisis.we look to you every day to bring people together to build stronger communities.many mayors are part of the u.s. coalition of cities against racism and discrimination,launched by this conference in 20某某. i know you're making reforms in your own communities,promotingtolerance in schools, smoothing the integration of immigrants, creating economicopportunities.mayors across the country also are doing all they can to prevent gun violence and keep ourstreets and neighborhoods safe.and that's not all. across our country, there is so much that is working. it's easy to forget thatwhen you watch or read the news. in cities and towns from coast to coast, we are seeingincredible innovation. mayors are delivering results with what franklin roosevelt called boldand persistent experimentation.here in san francisco, mayor lee is expanding a workforce training program for residents ofpublic housing, helping people find jobs who might have spent time in prison or lost theirdriver's license or fallen behind in child support payments.south of here in los angeles and north in seattle, city governments are raising the minimumwage so more people who work hard can get ahead and support their families.in philadelphia, mayor nutter is pioneering a new approach to community policing to rebuildtrust and respect between law enforcement and communities of color.in houston, louisville and chicago, the mayors are finding new ways to help workers train andcompete for jobs in advanced industries.cities like cleveland and lexington are linking up their universities and their factories to spur arevival of manufacturing. in denver and detroit, city leaders are getting creative about how they raise funds forbuilding and repairing mass transit.providence is helping parents learn how to become theirchildren's first teachers, and spendmore time reading, talking, andsinging to their babies at critical stages of early braindevelopment. kevin johnson, who has led both sacramento and this conference so ably, calls thisrenaissance of urban innovation "cities 3.0," andtalks about "open-source leadership" andmayors as pragmatic problem-solvers.that's what we need more of in america.and kevin is right, we need to reimagine the relationship between the federal government andour metropolitan areas. top-down, one-size-fits-all solutions rarely work.we need what i'll call a new flexible federalism that empowersand connects communities,leverages their unique advantages, adapts to changing circumstances. and i look forward toworking with all of you to turn this vision into a reality.i've put four fights at the center of my campaign:first, to build an economy for tomorrow not yesterday;second, to strengthen america's families, the foundation of everything we are;third, to harness all of our power, our smarts, and our values to continue to lead the world;and fourth, to revitalize our democracy back here at home.mayors are vital for all four of these efforts. you know what it takes to make governmentactually work, and you know it can make areal difference in people's lives.but you also know that government alone does not have the answers we seek. if we are going tore-stitch the fraying fabric of our communities, all americans are going to have to step up.there arelaws we should pass and programs we should fund and fights we should wage andwin.but so much of the real work is going to come around kitchen tables and over bedtime stories,around office watercoolers and in factory break rooms, at quiet moments in school and at work,in honest conversations between parents and children, between friends and neighbors.because fundamentally, this is about the habits of our hearts, how we treat each other, how welearn to see the humanity in those around us, no matter what they look like, how theyworship, or who they love. most of all, it's about how we teach our children to see thathumanity too.andy young is here, and i want to tell a story about him because i think it's as timely today asit was all those years ago.you know, at the end of the 1950s the south was beginning to find its way into the moderneconomy. it wasn't easy. there were determined leaders in both government and businessthat wanted to raise the standard of living and recruit businesses, make life better.when the closing of central high school in little rock happened, and president eisenhower hadto send in federal troops to keep peace, that sent a message of urgency but also opportunity.i remember andy coming to little rock some years later, and saying that in atlanta when folkssaw what was going on in little rock and saw some of the continuing resistance to enforcingcivil rights laws, opening up closed doors, creating the chance for blacks and whites to studytogether, to work together, to live together, atlanta made a different decision.the leadership of atlanta came together, looked out across the south and said, "some place inthe south is really going to make it big. we need to be that place." and they adopted a slogan, "the citytoo busy to hate."well, we need to be cities, states and a country too busy to hate. we need to get about thework of tearing down the barriers and the obstacles, roll up our sleeves together, look at what'sworking across our country, and then share it and scale it.as all of us reeled from the news in charleston this past week, a friend of mine shared thisobservation with a number of us. think about the hearts and values of those men and womenof mother emanuel, he said."a dozen people gathered to pray. they're in their most intimate of communities and astranger who doesn't look or dress like themjoins in. they don't judge. they don't question.they don't reject. they just welcome. if he's there, he must need something: prayer, love,community, something. during their last hour, nine people of faith welcomed a stranger inprayer and fellowship."for those of us who are christians, we remember the words of the scripture: "i was hungry andyou gave me food. i was thirsty and you gave me drink. i was a stranger and you welcomedme."that's humanity at its best. that's also america at its best. and that's the spirit we need tonurture our lives and our families and our communities.i know it's not usual for somebody running for president to say what we need more of in thiscountry is love and kindness. but that's exactly what we need more of.we need to be not only too busy to hate but too caring, tooloving to ignore, to walk away, togive up.part of the reason i'm running for president is i love this country. i am so grateful for each andevery blessing and opportunityi've been given.i did not pick my parents. i did not decide before i arrived that i would live in a middle classfamily in the middle of america, be given the opportunity to go to good public schools withdedicated teachers and a community that supported me and all of the other kids.i came of age at a time when barriers were falling for women, another benefit.i came of age as the civil rights movement was beginning to not only change laws but changehearts.i've seen the expansion of not just rights but opportunities toso many of our fellow men andwomen who had been left out and left behind.but we have unfinished business. and i am absolutely confidentand optimistic we can getthat done.i stand here ready to work with each and every one of you to support your efforts, to stand withyou, to put the task of moving beyond the past at the head of our national agenda. i'm excitedabout what we can accomplish together.i thank you for what you've already done and i look forward toall that you will be doing in thefuture.thank you. god bless you, and god bless america.克林顿英语演讲稿范文2first, i'd like to thank the commission and my opponents for participating in these debates and making them possible. i think the real winners of the debates were the american people. i wasespecially moved in richmond a few days ago, when 209 of our fellow citizens got to ask us questions. they went a long way toward reclaiming this election for the american people and taking theircountry back. i want to say, since this is the last time, i'll be on platform with my opponents, that even though, i disagree with mr. perot on how fast we can reduce the deficit and how much we can increase taxes in the middle class, i really respect what he's done in this campaign to bring the issue of deficit reduction to our attention. i'd like to say that mr. bush even though i have got profound differences with him, i do honor his service to our country.i appreciate his efforts and i wish him well. i just believe it's time to change.i offer a new approach. it's not trickle-down economics. it's been tried for 12 years and it's failed. more people are working harder, for less, 100,000 people a month losing their health insurance, unemployment going up, our economics slowing down. we can do better, and it's not tax and spend economics. it's invest and grow, put our people first, control health care costs and provide basic health care to all americans, have an education system second to none, and revitalize the private economy. that is my commitment to you. it is the kind of change that can open up a whole world of opportunities toward the 21st century.i want a country where people, who work hard and play by the rules, are rewarded, not punished. i want a country where people are coming together across the lines of race and region and income. i know we can do better. it won't take miracles and it won't happen overnight, but we can do much, much better, if we have the courage to change.thank you very much.。

比尔·克林顿在奥克拉荷马的演讲Thank you very much, Governor Keating and Mrs. Keating, Reverend Graham, to the families ofthose who have been lost and wounded, to the people of Oklahoma City, who have endured somuch, and the people of this wonderful state, to all of you who are here as our fellow Americans. Iam honored to be here today to represent the American people. But I have to tell you that Hillaryand I also come as parents, as husband and wife, as people who were your neighbors for some ofthe best years of our lives.Today our nation joins with you in grief. We mourn with you. We share your hope against hopethat some may still survive. We thank all those who have worked so heroically to save lives and tosolve this crime those here in Oklahoma and those who are all across this great land, and many wholeft their own lives to come here to work hand in hand with you. We pledge to do all we can to helpyou heal the injured, to rebuild this city, and to bring to justice those whodid this evil.This terrible sin took the lives of our American family, innocent children in that building, onlybecause their parents were trying to be good parents as well as good workers, citizens in thebuilding going about their daily business, and many there who served the rest of us who worked tohelp the elderly and the disabled, who worked to support our farmers and our veterans, who workedto enforce our laws and to protect us. Let us say clearly, they served us well, and we are grateful.But for so many of you they were also neighbors and friends. Y ou saw them at church or the PTAmeetings, at the civic clubs, at the ball park. Y ou know them in ways that all the rest of Americacould not. And to all the members of the families here present who have suffered loss, though weshare your grief, your pain is unimaginable, and we know that. We cannot undo it. That is God'swork.Our words seem small beside the loss you have endured. But I found a few I wanted to share today.I've received a lot of letters in these last terrible days. One stood out because it came from a youngwidow and a mother of three whose own husband was murdered with over 200 other Americanswhen Pan Am 103 was shot down. Here is what that woman said I should say to you today: Theanger you feel is valid, but you must not allow yourselves to be consumed by it. The hurt you feelmust not be allowed to turn into hate, but instead into the search for justice. The loss you feel mustnot paralyze your own lives. Instead, you must try to pay tribute to your loved ones by continuingto do all the things they left undone, thus ensuring they did not die in vain. Wise words from onewho also knows.Y ou have lost too much, but you have not lost everything. And you have certainly not lost America,for we will stand with you for as many tomorrows as it takes. If ever weneeded evidence of that, Icould only recall the words of Governor and Mrs. Keating: "If anybody thinks that Americans aremostly mean and selfish, they ought to come to Oklahoma. If anybody thinks Americans have lostthe capacity for love and caring and courage, they ought to come to Oklahoma."2To all my fellow Americans beyond this hall, I say, one thing we owe those who have sacrificed isthe duty to purge ourselves of the dark forces which gave rise to this evil. They are forces thatthreaten our common peace, our freedom, our way of life. Let us teach our children that the God ofcomfort is also the God of righteousness: Those who trouble their own house will inherit the wind.Justice will prevail.Let us let our own children know that we will stand against the forces of fear. When there is talk ofhatred, let us stand up and talk against it. When there is talk of violence, let us stand up and talkagainst it. In the face of death, let us honor life. As St. Paul admonished us, Let us "not beovercome by evil, but overcome evil with good."Y esterday, Hillary and I had the privilege of speaking with some children of other federalemployees children like those who were lost here. And one little girl said something we will neverforget. She said, "We should all plant a tree in memory of the children." So this morning before wegot on the plane to come here, at the White House, we planted that tree in honor of the children ofOklahoma. It was a dogwood with its wonderful spring flower and its deep, enduring roots. Itembodies the lesson of the Psalms that the life of a good person is like a tree whose leaf does notwither.My fellow Americans, a tree takes a long time to grow, and wounds take a long time to heal. Butwe must begin. Those who are lost now belong to God. Some day we will be with them. But untilthat happens, their legacy must be our lives. Thank you all, and God bless you.。
