英语演讲稿：Bush speech on his Iraq visi
布什总统清华大学演讲全文(中英对照)
President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua UniversityTsinghua UniversityBeijing, People's Republic of China10:35 A.M. (Local)PRESIDENT BUSH: Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife, Laura, here. (Applause.) I see she's keeping pretty good company, with the Secretary of State, Colin Powell. It's good to see you, Mr. Secretary. (Applause.) And I see my National Security Advisor, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, who at one time was the provost at Stanford University. So she's comfortable on university campuses such as this. Thank you for being here, Condi. (Applause.)I'm so grateful for the hospitality, and honored for the reception at one of China's, and the world's, great universities.This university was founded, interestingly enough, with the support of my country, to further ties between our two nations. I know how important this place is to your Vice President. He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here. (Laughter.)I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions. The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So, congratulations. (Applause.) I don't know if you know this or not, but my wife and I have two daughters who are in college, just like you. One goes to the University of Texas. One goes to Yale. They're twins. And we are proud of our daughters, just like I'm sure your parents are proud of you.My visit to China comes on an important anniversary, as the Vice President mentioned. Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, in the spirit of mutual respect. As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said this to President Nixon: "Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world -- 25 years of no communication."During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other. And that's important. Once America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization. Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor. And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world -- as demonstrated by the knowledge and potential right here in this room. China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong and peaceful and prosperous China. (Applause.)As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country. This happens for many reasons, and some of them of our own making. Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know. Our successful businesses show a strength of American commerce, but our spirit, community spirit, and contributions to each other are not always visible as monetary success.Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others. My friend, the Ambassador to China, tells me some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans of "bullying the weak and repressing the poor." Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to "repress the working people." Now, neither of these is true -- and while the words may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and they're harmful.In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the weak and the poor. Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves -- and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need. American compassion also stretches way beyond our borders. We're the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world. And as for the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement, they're working people; they, themselves, are working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption.My country certainly has its share of problems, no question about that. And we have our faults. Like most nations we're on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice. Yet there's a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America. It's because we're a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. No matter your background or your circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, you can start your own business, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and help elect the leaders of your community and your country. You can support the policies of our government, or you're free to openly disagree with them. Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself.Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities. Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions, and overseen by a strong and fair legal system.My country's greatest symbol to the world is the Statue of Liberty, and it was designed by special care.I don't know if you've ever seen the Statue of Liberty, but if you look closely, she's holding not one object, but two. In one hand is the familiar torch we call the "light of liberty." And in the other hand is a book of law.We're a nation of laws. Our courts are honest and they are independent. The President -- me -- I can't tell the courts how to rule, and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch of government. Under our law, everyone stands equal. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it.All political power in America is limited and it is temporary, and only given by the free vote of the people. We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the power of thethree branches of our government, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch, of which I'm a part.Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country. American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation. In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving other people. An amazing number -- nearly half of all adults in America -- volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children, or by visiting the sick, or caring for the elderly, or helping with thousands of other needs and causes.This is one of the great strengths of my country. People take responsibility for helping others, without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith.America is a nation guided by faith. Someone once called us "a nation with the soul of a church." This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I'm one of them.When I met President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I had the honor of sharing with him how faith changed my life and how faith contributes to the life of my country. Faith points to a moral law beyond man's law, and calls us to duties higher than material gain. Freedom of religion is not something to be feared, it's to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and to serve others, and to live responsible lives.If you travel across America -- and I hope you do some day if you haven't been there -- you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths. We're a varied nation. We're home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, or in the Cabinet of the President of the United States, or skating for the America Olympic team. Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as just as American as the President. America shows that a society can be vast and it can be varied, yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.And all these qualities of America were widely on display on a single day, September the 11th, the day when terrorists, murderers, attacked my nation. American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in desperation to save their fellow citizens. V olunteers came from everywhere to help with rescue efforts. Americans donated blood and gave money to help the families of victims. America had prayer services all over our country, and people raised flags to show their pride and unity. And you need to know, none of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of free people.Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law is not to be feared. In a free society, diversity is not disorder. Debate is not strife. And dissent is not revolution. A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatness in themselves and their country.It was my honor to visit China in 1975 -- some of you weren't even born then. It shows how old I am. (Laughter.) And a lot has changed in your country since then. China has made amazing progress -- inopenness and enterprise and economic freedom. And this progress previews China'a great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to China's legal system. A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people. The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges our society -- challenges society in our country, and in many successful countries. Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.Behind China's economic success today are talented, brilliant and energetic people. In the near future, those same men and women will play a full and active role in your government. This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens. And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country. They are participants in its future.Change is coming. China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level. Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- I want you to hear his words. He said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level. I look forward to that day.Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. Regardless of where or how these believers worship, they're no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens. For centuries, this country has had a tradition of religious tolerance. My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China -- a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create. This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship. Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games. And I'm confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.Thank you for letting me come.布什：胡副主席，非常感谢您的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

随着一个简单的誓言,我们肯定旧的传统,创造新的开始。
首先,我感谢克林顿总统为我们国家做出的贡献。

虽然我们的许多公民繁荣昌盛,但其他人怀疑这一承诺,甚至怀疑正义,我们自己国家的正义。
一些美国人的雄心是有限的失败的学校和隐藏的偏见以及他们所处的环境出生。
有时我们的分歧如此之深,似乎我们有一个共同之处大陆,但不是一个国家。
我们不接受,也不会允许。

这是我庄严的誓言我将努力建设一个正义的国家机遇。
我知道这是我们力所能及的,因为我们被一种比在他的形象中创造我们平等的我们自己。
我们对团结和带领我们前进的原则充满信心。
布什就职演说英文版
布什就职演说（英文版）Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush, PresidentClinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peacefultransfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. Witha simple 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 Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit andended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leadershave come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, butwhose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became afriend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society thatbecame a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the worldto protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, unitedacross the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise thateveryone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person waseverborn.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we mustfollow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faithin freedom and democracywasa rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root inmany nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is theinborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear andpass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet totravel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even thejustice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limitedby failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of theirbirth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share acontinent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, isthe serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this ismy 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 unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound byideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interestsand teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taughtthese principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing theseideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise throughcivility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern forcivility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect,fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, ina time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not leadthe cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts ofchildren toward knowledge and character, we willlose their gifts andundermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline,the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or asentime nt. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, ofcommunity over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way toshared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, whendefending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose ifthe example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. Wemust show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead ofpassing them on tofuture generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathyclaim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children fromstruggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, torecover the momentum of our economy and reward theeffort and enterpriseof working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invitechallenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century issparednew horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: Americaremains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balanceof power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We willshow purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith withresolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the valuesthat gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of Americanconscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of ournation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at riskare not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not actsof God, they arefailures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute forhope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are notstrangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of usare diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health,for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of anation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor'stouch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lendour 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 can listen tothose who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveleron the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valuedand expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call toconcience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeperfulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but incommitments. And we find that children and community are the commitmentsthat set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and familybonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonoredacts of decency whichgive direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of ourtimes has said, every day we are called to do small things with greatlove. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions withcivility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greaterjustice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it aswell.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care ofour times.What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seeka common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easyattacks;to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.I ask you to becitizens:citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens,building communities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, notbecause we believe inourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spiritof citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When thisspirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman JohnPage wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift northe battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind anddirects this storm?"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived forhis inauguration. Theyears and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know:our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with hispurpose.Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled inservice to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purposetoday, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignityof our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in thewhirl wind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.。

布什告别演讲稿精选（中英文对照）Bushsfarewellspeech
布什告别演讲稿精选（中英文对照）Bushsfarewellspeech第一篇：布什告别演讲稿精选(中英文对照)Bush's farewell speech THE PRESIDENT: Fellow citizens: For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence — a time set apart. Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey that we have traveled together, and the future of our nation.Five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of American democracy. In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the American people. Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land. This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation. And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-Elect Obama, his wife Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.Tonight I am filled with gratitude — to Vice President Cheney and members of my administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime. And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me. I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits. And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity, and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years.This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house —September the 11th, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I remember standing in the rubbleof the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon, and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93. I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son’s police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge.As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community, and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists’ movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots. And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States.There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions. But there can be little debate about the results. America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe — law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women ofthe United States Armed Forces.Our nation is blessed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger. I have cherished meeting these selfless patriots and their families. And America owes you a debt of gratitude. And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight: There has been no higher honor than serving as your Commander-in-Chief.The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens. When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism. So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights, and human dignity. We’re standing with dissidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to dying patients — to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria. And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.For eight years, we’ve also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. Theaddicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America’s air and water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.When challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them. Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy. These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted. All Americans are in this together. And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth. We will show the world once again the resilience of America’s free enterprise sys tem.Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks. There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I’ve always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. Our enemies are patient, and determined to strike again. America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never letdown our guard.At the same time, we must continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose. In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger. In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad. If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.As we address these challenges —and others we cannot foresee tonight —America must maintain our moral clarity. I’ve often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense —and to advance the cause of peace.President Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “I l ike the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.” As I leave the house he occupied two centuries ago, I share that optimism. America is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing itself. And even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ahead.I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people. This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom. This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger, and compassion in the face of suffering. We see examples ofAmerica’s character all around us. And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.We see America’s character in Dr. Tony Recasn er, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina. We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society. We’ve seen it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charg ed into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.We see America’s character in Bill Krissoff — a surgeon from California. His son, Nathan — a Marine — gave his life in Iraq. When I met Dr. Krissoff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son. This good man was 60 years old — 18 years above the age limit. But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine. Lieutenant Commander Krissoff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America’s wounded warriors — and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.In citizens like these, we see the best of our countrycitizen of the United States of America.And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night. May God bless this house and our next President. And may God bless you and our wonderful country. Thank you. (Applause.) 各位公民：八年来，我有幸担任你们的总统。

站在这里，我很荣幸，也有点受宠若惊。
在我之前，许多美国领导人从这里起步；在我之后，也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。
在美国悠久的历史中，我们每个人都有自己的位置；我们还在继续推动着历史前进，但是我们不可能看到它的尽头。
这是一部新世界的发展史，是一部后浪推前浪的历史。
这是一部美国由奴隶制社会发展成为崇尚自由的社会的历史。
这是一个强国保护而不是占有世界的历史，是捍卫而不是征服世界的历史。
这就是美国史。
它不是一部十全十美的民族发展史，但它是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的历史。
这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺，这就是：每个人都有自身的价值，每个人都有成功的机会，每个人天生都会有所作为的。
美国人民肩负着一种使命，那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。
虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退，但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。
在上个世纪的大部分时间里，美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。
现在它更像风中的种子，把自由带给每个民族。
在我们的国家，民主不仅仅是一种信念，而是全人类的希望。
民主，我们不会独占，而会竭力让大家分享。
民主，我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。
225年过去了，我们仍有很长的路要走。
有很多公民取得了成功，但也有人开始怀疑，怀疑我们自己的国家所许下的诺言，甚至怀疑它的公正。
失败的教育，潜在的偏见和出身的环境限制了一些美国人的雄心。
有时，我们的分歧是如此之深，似乎我们虽身处同一个大陆，但不属于同一个国家。

布什就职演说(英文版)
布什就职演说（英文版）Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush, PresidentClinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peacefultransfer of authority is rare in history, yet mon in our country. Witha simple 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 Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit andended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leadershave e before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, butwhose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became afriend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society thatbecame a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the worldto protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, unitedacross the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise thateveryone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person waseverborn.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we mustfollow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracywasa rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root inmany nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is theinborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear andpass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet totravel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, eveen thejustice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limitedby failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of theirbirth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share acontinent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, isthe serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this ismy 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 unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound byideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interestsand teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taughtthese principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing theseideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new mitment to live out our nation's promise throughcivility, courage, passion and character.America, at its best, matches a mitment to principle with a concern forcivility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect,fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, ina time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not leadthe cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts ofchildren toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts andundermine their idealism. If we permit our economyto drift and decline,the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a>sentime nt. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, ofmunity over chaos. And this mitment, if we keep it, is a way toshared acplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, whendefending mon dangers defined our mon good. Now we must choose ifthe example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. Wemust show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead ofpassing them on tofuture generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools,before ignorance and apathyclaim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children fromstruggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, torecover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterpriseof working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invitechallenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century issparednew horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: Americaremains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balanceof power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and ourinterests. We willshow purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith withresolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the valuesthat gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is passionate. In the quiet of Americanconscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of ournation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at riskare not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they arefailures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are notstrangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of usare diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health,for civil rights and mon schools. Yet passion is the work of anation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor'stouch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lendour munities 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 can listen tothose who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveleron the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valuedand expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call toconcience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeperfulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but inmitments. And we find that children and munity are the mitmentsthat set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and familybonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency whichgive direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of ourtimes has said, every day we are called to do small things with greatlove. The most important tasks of a democracy aredone by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions withcivility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greaterjustice and passion, to call for responsibility and try to live it aswell.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care ofour times.What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seeka mon good beyond your fort; to defend needed reforms against easyattacks;to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.I ask you to becitizens:citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens,building munities of service and a nation ofcharacter.Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe inourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spiritof citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When thisspirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman JohnPage wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift northe battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind anddirects this storm?"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. Theyears and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know:our nation's grand story of courage and its simpledream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with hispurpose.Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled inservice to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purposetoday, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignityof our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in thewhirl wind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.。

succeed. we will also support the prime minister's efforts to forge a new international compact. under this compact, iraq will take a series of steps in the political, economic, and security areas, and in return, the international community will provide iraq with more robust political and economic support.During my trip, i was impressed with the prime minister, the team he has assembled, and the

our country. but ourefforts in iraq are well worth it, the mission is necessary for the security of our country, and we will succeed.Thank you for listening.精选英语演讲稿：Bush speech on hisIraq visiGood morning. earlier this week, i traveled to baghdad to visit the capital of a free and democratic iraq. it was an incredible feeling to stand in the cockpit of air force one and watch the pilot steer us in toward baghdad.After we landed, i had the pleasure of meeting with our dedicated embassy staff and intelligence officers serving far from home under dangerous circumstances. and i was honored to meet with some of our troops, including those responsible for bringing justice to the terrorist zarqawi. it was a privilege to shake their hands, look them in the eye, and tell them how much the american people appreciate their daily courage, and how much we appreciate the sacrifices that they and their families are making.On my trip, i also met with the new iraqi prime minister maliki, and i was able to see firsthand his strong character and his determination to succeed. we held a joint meeting of our two cabinets, with members of my cabinet participating by video teleconference from camp david. the prime minister briefed us on his plan to take immediate steps in three keyareas: improving security, building up iraq's economy so iraqis can see real progress in their lives, and reaching out to the international community to secure support for iraq's new government. then we discussed how my administration can help the prime minister accomplish these vital objectives.His top priority is securing baghdad, so coalition and iraqi forces have launched operation together forward, a joint effort to restore security and the rule of law to high-risk areas of the city. to help the prime minister improve security, we will continue embedding coalition transition teams in iraqi army and police units, and we will help the new iraqi ministers of defense and interior improve their command and control, root out corruption, and investigate and punish human rights violations. we will alsoo support the prime minister as he works to rein in illegal militias, build a judicial system that will provide equal justice to all, and promote reconciliation among the iraqi people.To aid the prime minister in revitalizing iraq's economy, we will send additional experts to help the iraqi government develop an economic framework that will promote job creation and opportunity for all iraqis. we will also help the prime minister increase oil and electricity production by working together on ways to protect key infrastructure from attacks, and to quickly restore oil and electricity production when attacks do occur.Finally, america will help the prime minister engage the international community in iraq's success. we will encourage other nations to fulfill the monetary pledges they have already made to help the new iraqi government succeed. we will also support the prime minister's efforts to forge a new international compact. under this compact, iraq will take a series of steps in the political, economic, and security areas, and in return, the international community will provide iraq with more robust political and economic support.During my trip, i was impressed with the prime minister, the team he has assembled, and the plan he has set for his government. i

are serious. weface determined enemies who remain intent on killing the innocent, and defeating these enemies will require more sacrifice and the continued patience of our country. but our efforts in iraq are well worth it, the mission is necessary for the security of our country, and we will succeed.Thank you for listening.英语演讲稿范文《speech paper》英语演讲稿范文《speech paper》Thank you!Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush，President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple 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 Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come 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 will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, astory of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after 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 our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemnpledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than our selves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character. America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And 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 times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power thatf avors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is 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 all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws. Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler onthe road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side. America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued andexpected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as 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 by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all 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 a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character. Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm? Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The yearsand changes accumulate. But the themesof this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more 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 and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.。

布什清华大学演讲英文全文
President Bush:Vice President Hu, thank you for your words of welcome. I am grateful for your hospitality, and honored by this reception at one of China's great universities.Tsinghua University was founded, with the support of America, to further the ties between our two nations. I know how important this place is to the Vice President, who earned his degree here and even more important, met his gracious wife Liu Yongqing here.I also thank the students here for this opportunity to meet with you, to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions. The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. My wife Laura and I have two daughters in college, one at Yale and the other at the University of Texas. We are proudof our daughters just like I am sure your parents are proud of you.My visit to China comes on an important anniversary. Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, and in a spirit of mutual respect. As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said to President Nixon,``Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world twenty-five years of no communication.''During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of our two countries have gradually learned more about each other.Once, America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization. Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor. And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world as demonstrated by all the knowledge and potential right here in this room.China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong, peaceful, and prosperous China.As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country. This happens for many reasons, some of them of our own making. Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know. Our successful businesses show the strength of American commerce, but the community spirit and contributions of those businesses are not alwaysas visible as their monetary success. Some of the erroneous pictures ofAmerica are painted by others. My friend, the Ambassador to China, tells me that some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans ``bullying the weak and repressing the poor.'' Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to ``repress the working people.''Neither of these is true and while the books may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and harmful. In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the poor and the weak. Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need. American compassion stretches way beyond our borders. We are the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world. As for the men and women of our FBI and law enforcement, theyare themselves working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption.My country certainly has its share of problems and faults; like most nations we're on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice. Yet there is a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America.We are a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. No matter your background or circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, start a business, raise a family, worship freely and help elect the leaders of your community and country. You can support the policies of our government, or you are free to openly disagree with them. Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself.Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities. Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions and overseen by a strong and fair legal system.My country's greatest symbol to the world, the Statue of Liberty, was designed with great care. As you look closely, you will see that she is holding not one object, but two. In one hand is the familiar torch, the light of liberty. In the other is a book of law.We are a Nation of laws. Our courts are honest and independent. The President can't tell the courts how to rule and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch. Under our law, everyone stands equal. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it.All political power in America is limited and temporary, and only given by a free vote of the people. We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the powers of the three branches of our government: judicial, legislative and executive.Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country. American Moms and Dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation. In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving others. An amazing number nearly half of all adults in America volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children visiting the sick caring for the elderly and helping with a thousand other needs and causes. This is one of the greatstrengths of my country. People take responsibility for helping others without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith.America is a nation guided by faith. Someone once called us ``a nation with the soul of a church.'' Ninety-five percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I'm one of them.When I met with President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I told him how faith has shaped my own life, and how faith contributes to the life of my country. Faith points to a moral law beyond man's law and calls us to duties higher than material gain. Freedom of religion is not something to be feared but to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and serve others, and to live responsible lives.If you travel across America, you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths. We are a varied country. We are home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our biggest companies, serving in my own Cabinet, and skating for America at the Olympics. Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as much an American as the President of the United States. America shows that a society can be vast and varied, and yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.All of these qualities of America were vividly displayed on a single day, September 11th, when terrorists attacked America. American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in the desperate hope of saving other lives. Volunteers came from everywhere to help with the rescue efforts. Americans donatedblood, and gave money to help the families of victims. People went to prayer services all overAmerica, and raised flags to show their pride and unity. None of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of a free people.Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law, is not to be feared. In a free society, diversity is not disorder. Debate is not strife. And dissent is not revolution. A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatness in themselves and their country.It was my honor to visit China in 1975, and a lot has changed in your country since then. China has made amazing progress in openness, and enterprise, and economic freedom. And this progress previews China's great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they will bring changes in China's legal system. A modernChina will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges society in our country and in many successful countries. Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.Behind China's economic success today are talented, energetic people. In the near future, these same men and women will play a full and active role in your government. This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens. And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country. They are participants in its future.Change is coming. China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the locallevel. Nearly twenty years ago, Deng Xiaoping said thatChina would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level and I look forward to that day.Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. Regardless of where or how these believers worship, they are no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens. For centuries, this country had a tradition of religious tolerance. My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.All of these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create. This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship. Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games. And I am confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.Thank you for letting me here.（注：可编辑下载，若有不当之处，请指正，谢谢!）。
BushisspeechonhisIraqvisit英语演讲
BushisspeechonhisIraqvisit英语演讲Ladies and gentlemen,It is an honor to stand before you and speak about my recent visit to Iraq. This journey was not only a personal one, but also a testament to the enduring commitment of the United States to the Iraqi people and their pursuit of freedom and democracy.I wanted to see firsthand the progress that has been made since the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. And let me tell you, I was deeply impressed with what I witnessed during my time in this remarkable country.Iraq is a nation that has suffered greatly from decades of tyranny and conflict. The Iraqi people have endured unimaginable hardships, from the brutal repression of Saddam's regime to the chaos that followed his overthrow. Yet, despite these challenges, they have shown immense resilience and determination to build a better future for themselves and their children.During my visit, I had the privilege of meeting with Iraqi leaders, military personnel, and ordinary citizens. I saw the dedication and sacrifice of the Iraqi security forces, who are working tirelessly to protect their fellow countrymen from the threat of terrorism. I witnessed the courage and bravery of the Iraqi people, who are rebuilding their communities and reclaiming their lives after years of devastation.But perhaps, most importantly, I saw hope. I saw hope in the faces of young boys and girls, who are now able to attend schools and dream of a brighter future. I saw hope in the small businesses that are flourishing in once war-torn towns and cities. I saw hope in the smiles and laughter of families who feel safer and more secure than ever before.This progress is a testament to the sacrifices made by the American and coalition forces, who bravely fought to liberate Iraq from the clutches of tyranny. It is also a testament to the Iraqi people themselves, who have shown remarkable resilience and determination in the face of adversity.But let me be clear, our work in Iraq is not yet done. While progress has been made, challenges still remain. We must continue to support the Iraqi government and security forces as they work to provide stability and security for their people. Wemust continue to support the Iraqi people as they rebuild their communities and reconcile their differences. And most importantly, we must continue to stand by their side as they strive to build a prosperous and democratic Iraq.The road to democracy is long and arduous, but the Iraqi people have shown that they are up to the task. They deserve our unwavering support and encouragement as they work towards a future of peace and prosperity. And I pledge to you today that the United States will remain a steadfast ally in their journey.In closing, I want to acknowledge the countless men and women who have made sacrifices in the name of freedom and democracy. I want to honor the memory of those who have paid the ultimate price in the pursuit of a better Iraq. And I want to express my gratitude to the American people for their continued support and dedication to this noble cause.May God bless Iraq, its people, and may God bless the United States of America.Thank you.。
小布什就职演讲稿中英版（2）
小布什就职演讲稿中英版(2)我们的公共利益依赖于我们独立的个性;依赖于我们的公民义务，家庭纽带和基本的公正;依赖于我们无数的、默默无闻的体面行动，正是它们指引我们走向自由。
在生活中，有时我们被召唤着去做一些惊天动地的事情。
但是，正如我们时代的一位圣人所言，每一天我们都被召唤带着挚爱去做一些小事情。
一个民主制度最重要的任务是由大家每一个人来完成的。
我为人处事的原则包括：坚信自己而不强加于人，为公众的利益勇往直前，追求正义而不乏同情心，勇担责任而决不推卸。
我要通过这一切，用我们历史上传统价值观来哺育我们的时代。
(同胞们)，你们所做的一切和政府的工作同样重要。
我希望你们不要仅仅追求个人享受而忽略公众的利益;要扞卫既定的改革措施，使其不会轻易被攻击;要从身边小事做起，为我们的国家效力。
我希望你们成为真正的公民，而不是旁观者，更不是臣民。
你们应成为有责任心的公民，共同来建设一个互帮互助的社会和有特色的国家。
美国人民慷慨、强大、体面，这并非因为我们信任我们自己，而是因为我们拥有超越我们自己的信念。
一旦这种公民精神丧失了，无论何种政府计划都无法弥补它。
一旦这种精神出现了，无论任何错误都无法抗衡它。
在《独立宣言》签署之后，弗吉尼亚州的政治家约翰?佩齐曾给托马斯?杰弗逊写信说：“我们知道，身手敏捷不一定就能赢得比赛，力量强大不一定就能赢得战争。
难道这一切不都是上帝安排的吗?”杰斐逊就任总统的那个年代离我们已经很远了。
时光飞逝，美国发生了翻天覆地的变化。
但是有一点他肯定能够预知，即我们这个时代的主题仍然是：我们国家无畏向前的恢宏故事和它追求尊严的纯朴梦想。
我们不是这个故事的作者，是杰斐逊作者本人的伟大理想穿越时空，并通过我们每天的努力在变为现实。
我们正在通过大家的努力在履行着各自的职责。
带着永不疲惫、永不气馁、永不完竭的信念，今天我们重树这样的目标：使我们的国家变得更加公正、更加慷慨，去验证我们每个人和所有人生命的尊严。

英语演讲稿：Bush speech on his Iraq visi good morning. earlier this week, i traveled to baghdad to visit the capital of a free and democratic iraq. it was an incredible feeling to stand in the cockpit of air force one and watch the pilot steer us in toward baghdad.
after we landed, i had the pleasure of meeting with our dedicated embassy staff and intelligence officers serving far from home under dangerous circumstances. and i was honored to meet with some of our troops, including those responsible for bringing justice to the terrorist zarqawi. it was a privilege to shake their hands, look them in the eye, and tell them how much the american people appreciate their daily courage, and how much we appreciate the sacrifices that they and their families are making.
on my trip, i also met with the new iraqi prime minister maliki, and i was able to see firsthand his strong character and his determination to succeed. we held a joint meeting of our two cabinets, with members of my cabinet participating by video teleconference from camp david. the prime minister briefed us on his plan to take immediate steps in three key areas: improving security, building up iraq's economy so iraqis can see real progress in their lives, and reaching out to the international community to secure support for iraq's new government. then we discussed how my administration can help the prime minister
accomplish these vital objectives.
his top priority is securing baghdad, so coalition and iraqi forces have launched operation together forward, a joint effort to restore security and the rule of law to high-risk areas of the city. to help the prime minister improve security, we will continue embedding coalition transition teams in iraqi army and police units, and we will help the new iraqi ministers of defense and interior improve their command and control, root out corruption, and investigate and punish human rights violations. we will also support the prime minister as he works to rein in illegal militias, build a judicial system that will provide equal justice to all, and promote reconciliation among the iraqi people.
to aid the prime minister in revitalizing iraq's economy, we will send additional experts to help the iraqi government develop an economic framework that will promote job creation and opportunity for all iraqis. we will also help the prime minister increase oil and electricity production by working together on ways to protect key infrastructure from attacks, and to quickly restore oil and electricity production when attacks do occur.
finally, america will help the prime minister engage the international community in iraq's success. we will encourage other nations to fulfill the monetary pledges they have already made to help the new iraqi government succeed. we will also support the prime minister's efforts to
forge a new international compact. under this compact, iraq will take a series of steps in the political, economic, and security areas, and in return, the international community will provide iraq with more robust political and economic support.
during my trip, i was impressed with the prime minister, the team he has assembled, and the plan he has set for his government. i appreciate his determination, and the determination of his cabinet, to make his agenda work. i told them that the future of iraq is in their hands. and i told them that america is a nation that keeps its word, and america will stand with them as we work toward our shared goal: a free iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself. by seizing this moment of opportunity, we will defeat our common enemies and build a lasting democracy in the heart of the middle east, and that will make americans, iraqis, and the world more secure.
i traveled to baghdad to personally show our nation's commitment to a free iraq, because it is vital for the iraqi people to know with certainty that america will not abandon them after we have come this far. the challenges that remain in iraq are serious. we face determined enemies who remain intent on killing the innocent, and defeating these enemies will require more sacrifice and the continued patience of our country. but our efforts in iraq are well worth it, the mission is necessary for the security of our country, and we will succeed.
thank you for listening.。
