克林顿哈佛大学毕业记念日的演讲
美国前总统克林顿在哈佛大学2007年毕业纪念日上的演讲June6,2007Remarks of former U.S.President Bill ClintonHarvard College Class Day2007,Harvard YardFormer President Bill Clinton【原文】Thank you very much,Samantha,Stephanie,Chris,all the marshals,all the student speakers.Thanks for the gags and the jokes,and you know,when I got invited to do this,it was humbling in some ways.They asked Bill Gates to be the Commencement speaker.He's got more money than I do[LAUGHTER]and he went to Harvard.And I brought my friend Glenn Hutchins here with me,who's at his30th reunion and he had something to do with overseeing the endowment and he explained that Gates was really,really,really rich and I was just rich[LAUGHTER].And then I thought,well, the students asked me and that's good and besides,I don't have to wear a robe.But I couldn’t figure out why on what is supposed to be a festive and informal day, you would pick a gray-haired60-year-old to speak.Following the great tradition of Al Franken,Will Ferrell[LAUGHTER],Borat or Ali G or whoever he was that day[LAUGHTER].Conan O'Brien,that Family Guy person.What a tradition.So I did like Talladega Nights,however.Then I was reading all I could find out about the class and I thought well,they don't have any fun today. They already had fun.They had this class-wide Risk tournament around exam time [LAUGHTER].And I understood when I heard the followership speech,I understood why you had that.Now you can all run for president.You played Risk.It's an eight-year Risk tournament.Then I thought well,maybe it's because you're about to name Drew Faust your next president,and I think women should run everything now [LAUGHTER].And then I figure maybe it's just because Robin Williams and Billy Crystal turned you down[LAUGHTER].But for whatever reason,we're here and I have had a really good time[LAUGHTER].You've already heard most of what you need to hear today,I think.But I want to focus for a minute on the fact that these graduating classes since1968have invited a few non-comedians.First was Martin Luther King[APPLAUSE],who was killed in April before.I remember that very well because it was my senior year at Georgetown.He was killed in April,before he could come and give the speech.And Coretta came and gave the speech for him here.And you’ve had Mother Teresa and you've had Bono. What do they all have in common?They are symbols of our common humanity and a rebuke even to humorists'cynicism.Martin Luther King basically said he lived the way he did because we were all caught in what he called an inescapable web of mutuality.Nelson Mandela,the world's greatest living example of that,I believe,comes from a tribe in South Africa,the Xhosa,who call it ubuntu.In English,I am because you are.That led Mother Teresa from Albania to spend her life with the poorest people on earth in Calcutta.It led Bono from his rock stage to worry about innocent babies dying of AIDS,and poor people with good minds who never got a chance to follow their dreams.This is a really fascinating time to be a college senior.I was looking at all of you,wishing I could start over again and thinking I'd let you be president if you let me be21[LAUGHTER].I'd take a chance on making it all over again if I could do it again.But I think,just think what an exciting time it is.All this explosion of knowledge.Just in the last couple of weeks before I came here,I read that thanks to the sequencing of the human genome,the ongoing research has identified two markers which seem to be high predictors of diabetes,which,as you heard,is a very important thing to me because it's now predicted that one in three children born in the United States in this decade will develop diabetes.We run the risk that we could be raising a first generation of kids to live shorter lives than their parents.Not because we're hungry,but because we don't eat the right things and we don't exercise.But this is a big deal.Then right after that,I saw that through our powerful telescopes we have identified a planet orbiting one of the hundred stars closest to our solar system,that appears to have the atmospheric conditions so similar to ours that life could actually be possible there. Alas,even though it's close to us in terms of the great universe,it's still20million light-years away.Unreachable in the lifetime of any young person.So unless there's a budding astrophysicist in the class that wants to get married in a hurry and then commit three generations and take another couple with him,we'll have to wait for them to come to us.It's an exciting time.It's also exciting because of all the diversity.If you look around this audience,I was thinking,I wonder how different this crowd would have looked if someone like me had been giving this speech30years ago.And how much more interesting it is for all of us.It’s a frustrating time,because for all the opportunity,there’s a lot of inequality. There’s a lot of insecurity and there’s a lot of instability and unsustainability.Half the world’s people still live on less than two bucks a day.A billion on less than a dollar a day.A billion people go to bed hungry tonight.A billion people won’t get a clean glass of water today or any day in their lives.One in four of all the people who die this year will die from AIDS,TB,malaria and infections related to dirty water. Nobody in America dies of any of that except people whose AIDS medicine doesn’t work anymore,or people who decline to follow the prescribed regime.In the United States in the last decade,we have had six years of economic growth,an all-time high in the stock market,a40-year high in corporate profits.Workers are doing better every year with productivity,but median wages are stagnant.And there’s actually been in all this so-called recovery a4percent increase in the percentage ofpeople working full-time falling below the poverty line,and a4percent increase in the percentage of people working,who with their families,have lost their health insurance.It’s an unequal time.It’s an uncertain,insecure time because we’re all vulnerable to terror,to weapons of mass destruction,to global pandemics like avian influenza.We all make fun of the modern media and culture all the time,but I thought it was interesting in my little house in Chappaqua,where I stay home alone rooting for the candidate[LAUGHTER],I watch the evening news in the last few months, and it’s interesting.Somehow,clawing its way through the stories of the latest crime endeavor in our neighborhood and whether Britney Spears’hair has grown out or not, I have learned that there were chickens in Romania,India and Indonesia identified with avian influenza and that every chicken within three square miles,those unfortunate ones,was eradicated.On the evening news,competing with Britney Spears and crime.Why?That’s a good thing because of the shared insecurity we feel. You all saw it this week in all of the stories about the terrorist attack being thwarted in Kennedy airport.Now remember a few months ago,everybody I knew was shaking their head when we found out that there was a plot in London to put explosive chemicals in a baby bottle to make it look like formula to evade the airport inspection.And every time I ask somebody,I said did you feel a chill go up and down your spine,they said yeah,they did.Because they can imagine being on the airplane,or in my case,I could imagine my daughter,who has to travel a lot on her job,being on the airplane.But here’s what I want to tell you about that.The inequality is fixable and the insecurity is manageable. We’re going to really have to go some in the21st century to see political violence claim as many innocent lives as it did in the20th century.Keep in mind you had what, 12million people killed in World War I,somewhere between15and20million in World War II,six million in the Holocaust,six million Jews,three million others. Twenty million in the political purges in the former Soviet Union between the two world wars and one afterward.Two million in Cambodia lions in tribal wars in Africa.An untold but large number in the Chinese Cultural Revolution.I mean, we’re going to have to really get after it,if you expect your generation to claim as many innocents from political violence as was claimed in the20th century.The difference is you think it could be you this time.Because of the interdependence of the world.So yes,it’s insecure but it’s manageable.It’s also an unsustainable world because of climate change,resource depletion,and the fact that between now and2050,the world’s supposed to grow from six and a half to nine billion people,with most of the growth in the countries least able to handle it, under today’s conditions,never mind those.That’s all fixable,too.So is climate change a problem?Is resource depletion a problem?Is poverty and the fact that130 million kids never go to school and all this disease that I work on a problem?You bet it is.But I believe the most important problem is the way people think about it and each other,and themselves.The world is awash today in political,religious,almost psychological conflicts,which require us to divide up and demonize people whoaren’t us.And every one of them in one way or the other is premised on a very simple idea.That our differences are more important than our common humanity.I would argue that Mother Teresa was asked here,Bono was asked here,and Martin Luther King was asked here because this class believed that they were people who thought our common humanity was more important than our differences[APPLAUSE].So with this Harvard degree and your incredible minds and your spirits that I’ve gotten a little sense of today,this gives you virtually limitless possibilities.But you have to decide how to think about all this and what to do with your own life in terms of what you really think.I hope that you will share Martin Luther King’s dream, embrace Mandela’s spirit of reconciliation,support Bono’s concern for the poor and follow Mother Teresa’s life into some active service.Ordinary people have more power to do public good than ever before because of the rise of non-governmental organizations,because of the global media culture,because of the Internet,which gives people of modest means the power,if they all agree,to change the world.When former President Bush and I were asked to work on the tsunami,before we did the Katrina work,Americans,many of whom could not find the Maldives or Sri Lanka on a map,gave$1.2billion to tsunami aid.Thirty percent of our households gave.Half of them gave over the Internet,which means you don’t even have to be rich to change the world if enough people agree with you.But we have to do this.Citizen service is a tradition in our country about as old as Harvard,and certainly older than the government.Benjamin Franklin organized the first volunteer fire department in Philadelphia40 years before the Constitution was ratified.When de Tocqueville came here in1835,he talked among other things about how he was amazed that Americans just were always willing to step up and do something,not wait for someone else to do it.Now we have in America a1,010,000non-governmental groups.Not counting355,000religious groups,most of whom are involved in some sort of work to help other people.India has a million registered,over a half a million active.China has280,000registered and twice that many not registered because they don’t want to be confined.Russia has 400,000,so many that President Putin is trying to restrict them.I wish he wouldn’t do that,but it’s a high-class problem.There were no NGOs in Russia or China when I became president in1993.All over the world we have people who know that they can do things to change,but again,I will say to all of you,there is no challenge we face, no barrier to having your grandchildren here on this beautiful site50years from now, more profound than the ideological and emotional divide which continues to demean our common life and undermine our ability to solve our common problems.The simple idea that our differences are more important than our common humanity. When the human genome was sequenced,and the most interesting thing to me as a non-scientist–we finished it in my last year I was president,I really rode herd on this thing and kept throwing more money at it–the most interesting thing to me was the discovery that human beings with their three billion genomes are99.9percentidentical genetically.So if you look around this vast crowd today,at the military caps and the baseball caps and the cowboy hats and the turbans,if you look at all the different colors of skin,all the heights,all the widths,all the everything,it’s all rooted in one-tenth of one percent of our genetic make-up.Don’t you think it’s interesting that not just people you find appalling,but all the rest of us,spend90percent of our lives thinking about that one-tenth of one percent?I mean,don’t we all?How much of the laugh lines in the speeches were about that?At least I didn’t go to Yale,right? [LAUGHTER]That Brown gag was hilarious.[LAUGHTER]But it’s all the same deal,isn’t it?I mean,the intellectual premise is that the only thing that really matters about our lives are the distinctions we can draw.Indeed,one of the crassest elements of modern culture,all these sort of talk shows,and even a lot of political journalism that's sort of focused on this shallow judgmentalism.They try to define everybody down by the worst moment in their lives,and it all is about well, no matter whatever’s wrong with me,I’m not that.And yet,you ask Martin Luther King,Mother Teresa and Bono to come here.Nelson Mandela’s the most admired person in the world.I got tickled the other night.I wound up in a restaurant in New York with a bunch of friends of mine.And I looked over and two tables away,and there was Rush Limbaugh[LAUGHTER],who’s said a few mad things about me.So I went up and shook hands with him and said hello and met his dinner guest.And I came just that close to telling him we were99.9percent the same.[LAUGHTER]But I didn’t want to ruin the poor man’s dessert,so I let it go.[LAUGHTER]Now we’re laughing about this but next month,I’m making my annual trek to Africa to see the work of my AIDS and development project,and to celebrate with Nelson Mandela his birthday.He’s89.Don’t know how many more he’ll have.And when I think that I might be99.9percent the same as him,I can’t even fathom it.So I say that to you,do we have all these other problems?Is Darfur a tragedy?Do I wish America would adopt sensible climate change regulation?Do I hate the fact that ideologues in the government doctored scientific reports?Do I disagree with a thousand things that are going on?Absolutely.But it all flows from the idea that we can violate elemental standards of learning and knowledge and reason and even the humanity of our fellow human beings because our differences matter more.That’s what makes you worship power over purpose.Our differences matter more.One of the greatest things that’s happened in the last few years is doing all this work with former President Bush.You know,I ought to be doing this.I’m healthy and not totally antiquated.He’s82years old,still jumping out of airplanes and still doing stuff like this.And I love the guy. I’m sorry for all the diehard Democrats in the audience.I just do.[LAUGHTER]And life is all about seeing things new every day.And I’ll just close with two stories,one from Asia,one from Africa.And I’m telling you all the details don’t matter as much as this.After George Bush and I did the tsunami,we got so into this disaster work that Kofi Annan asked him to oversee the UN’s efforts in Pakistan after the earthquake,whichyou acknowledged today,and asked me to stay on as the tsunami coordinator for two years.So on my next to last trip to Aceh in Indonesia,the by far the hardest hit place, a quarter of a million people killed.I went to one of these refugee camps where in the sweltering heat,several thousand people were still living in tents.Highly uncomfortable.And my job was to go there and basically listen to them complain and figure out what to do about it,and how to get them out of there more quickly.So every one of these camps elected a camp leader and when I appeared,I was introduced to my young interpreter,a young Indonesian woman,and to the guy who was the camp leader,and his wife and his son.And they smiled,said hello,and then I looked down at this little boy,and I literally could not breathe.I think he’s the most beautiful child I ever saw.And I said to my young interpreter,I said,I believe that’s the most beautiful boy I ever saw in my life.She said,yes,he’s very beautiful and before the tsunami he had nine brothers and sisters.And now they’re all gone.So the wife and the son excused themselves.And the father who had lost his nine children proceeded to take me on a two-hour tour of this camp.He had a smile on his face.He never talked about anything but what the people in that camp needed.He gave no hint of what had happened to him and the grief that he bore.We get to the end of the tour.It’s the health clinic in the camp.I look up and there is his wife,a mother who had lost nine of her10children,holding a little bitty baby less than a week old, the newest born baby in the camp.And she told me,I’m going to get in trouble for telling this.She told me that in Indonesian culture,when a woman has a baby,she gets to go to bed for40days and everyone waits on her hand and foot.[LAUGHTER] She doesn’t get up,nothing happens.And then on the40th day,the mother gets up out of bed,goes back to work doing her life and they name the baby.So this child was less than a week old.So this mother who had lost her nine children is here holding this baby.And she says to me,this is our newest born baby.And we want you to name him.Little boy.So I looked at her and I said through my interpreter,I said,do you have a name for new beginning?And she explained and the woman said something back and the interpreter said yes,luckily for you,in Indonesian the word for dawn is a boy’s name.And the mother just said to me,we will call this child Dawn and he will symbolize our new beginning.You shouldn’t have to meet people that lose nine of their10children,cherish the one they got left,and name a newborn baby Dawn to realize that what we have in common is more important than what divides us. [APPLAUSE]And I leave you with this thought.When Martin Luther King was invited here in1968, the country was still awash in racism.The next decade it was awash in sexism,and after that in homophobia.And occasionally those things rear their ugly head along the way,but by and large,nobody in this class is going to carry those chains around through life.But nobody gets out for free,and everyone has temptations.The great temptation for all of you is to believe that the one-tenth of one percent of you which is different and which brought you here and which can bring you great riches or whatever else you want,is really the sum of who you are and that you deserve yourgood fate,and others deserve their bad one.That is the trap into which you must not fall.Warren Buffett's just about to give away99percent of his money because he said most of it he made because of where he was born and when he was born.It was a lucky accident.And his work was rewarded in this time and place more richly than the work of teachers and police officers and nurses and doctors and people who cared for those who deserve to be cared for.So he’s just going to give it away.And still with less than one percent left,have more than he could ever spend.Because he realizes that it wasn’t all due to the one-tenth of one percent,and that his common humanity requires him to give money to those for whom it will mean much more.In the central highlands in Africa where I work,when people meet each other walking, nearly nobody rides,and people meet each other walking on the trails,and one person says hello,how are you,good morning,the answer is not I’m fine,how are you.The answer translated into English is this:I see you.Think of that.I see you.How many people do all of us pass every day that we never see?You know,we all haul out of here,somebody’s going to come in here and fold up20-something thousand chairs. And clean off whatever mess we leave here.And get ready for tomorrow and then after tomorrow,someone will have to fix that.Many of those people feel that no one ever sees them.I would never have seen the people in Aceh in Indonesia if a terrible misfortune had not struck.And so,I leave you with that thought.Be true to the tradition of the great people who have come here.Spend as much of your time and your heart and your spirit as you possibly can thinking about the99.9percent.See everyone and realize that everyone needs new beginnings.Enjoy your good fortune. Enjoy your differences,but realize that our common humanity matters much,much more.God bless you and good luck.【中文翻译】萨曼莎，斯蒂法妮，克里斯，所有的高级军官以及所有的学生发言者，非常感谢你们！谢谢你们演讲中带来的揶揄和笑话！你们可知道，当我受邀到这里来演讲的时候，我有些受宠若惊！他们邀请比尔.盖茨在毕业典礼上做主题演讲。

希拉里 克林顿演讲稿
Thank you so much. Thank you all. Well, this isn’t exactly the party I’d planned, but I sure like the company.I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you– to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs,who scrimped and saved to raise money,who knocked on doors and made calls, who talked and sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors, who emailed and contributed online, who invested so much in our common enterprise, to the moms and dads who came to our events, who lifted their little girls and little boys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears, “See, you can be anything you want to be.”Remember-we fought for the single mom with a young daughter, juggling work and school,who told me,“I’m doing it all to better myself for her.”We fought for the woman who grabbed my hand, and asked me,“What are you going to do to make sure I have health care?”and began to cry because even though she works thr ee jobs,she can’t afford insurance. We fought for the young man in the Marine Corps t-shirt who waited months for medical care and said, “Take care of my buddies over there and then, will you please help take care of me?” We fought for all those who’ve los t jobs and health care,who can’t afford gas or groceries or college, who have felt invisible to their president these last seven years.I entered this race because I have an old-fashioned conviction: that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their dreams.I’ve had every opportunity and blessing in my own life–and I want the same for all Americans.Until that day comes,you will always find me on the front lines of democracy-fighting for the future.The way to continue our fight now–to accomplish the goals for which we stand–is to take our energy, our passion, our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.I understand that we all know this has been a tough fight. The Democratic Party is a family, and it’s now time to restore the ties that bind us together and to come together around the ideals we share, the values we cherish, and the country we love.We all want an economy that sustains the American Dream, the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded, to save for college, a home and retirement, to afford that gas and those groceries and still have a little left over at the end of the month. An economy that lifts all of our people and ensures that our prosperity（繁荣） is broadly distributed and shared.We all want a health care system that is universal, high quality, and affordable so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead end jobs simply to keep thei r insurance.This isn’t just an issue for me–it is a passion and a cause–and it is a fight I will continue until every single American is insured–no exceptions, no excuses.We all want an America defined by deep and meaningful equality– from civil rights to labor rights,from women’s rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization（联合） to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families.We all want to restore America’s standing in the world,to end the war in Iraq and once again lead by the power of our values, and to join with our allies to confront our shared challenges from poverty and genocide （种族灭绝） to terrorism and global warming.You know,I’ve been involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades.During those forty years, our country has voted ten times for President. Democrats won only three of those times. And the man who won two of those elections is with us today.We made tremendous progress during the 90s under a Democratic President, with a flourishing economy, and our leadership for peace and security respected around the world.Just think how much more progress we could have made over the past 40 years if we had a Democratic president.Think about the lost opportunities of these past seven years–on the environment and the economy, on health care and civil rights,on education, foreign policy and the Supreme Court.Imagine how far we could’ve come, how much we could’ve achieved if we had just had a Democrat in the White House.We cannot let this moment slip away. We have come too far and accomplished too much.Now the journey ahead will not be easy. Some will say we can’t do it.That it’s too hard. That we’re just not up to the task. But for as long as America has existed, it has been the American way toreject“can’t do”claims,and to choose instead to stretch the boundaries of the possible through hard work, determination, and a pioneering spirit.It is this belief,this optimism, that Senator Obama and I share, and that has inspired so many millions of our supporters to make their voices heard.So today,I am standing with Senator Obama to say: Yes we can.This election is a turning point election and it is critical that we all understand what our choice really is.Will we go forward together or will we stall and slip backwards.Think how much progress we have already made.When we first started,people everywhere asked the same questions:Could a woman really serve as Commander-in-Chief? Well, I think we answered that one.And could an African American really be our President? Senator Obama has answered that one. You can be so proud that,from now on,it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories,unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee,unremarkable to think that a woman can be the President of the United States.And that is truly remarkable，my friend.Although we weren’t able to shatter that highest,hardest glass ceiling this time,thanks to you,it’s got about 18 million cracks in it.And the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.That has always been the history of progress in America.Think of the suffragists who gathered at Seneca Falls in 1848 and those who kept fighting until women could cast their votes.Think of the abolitionists who struggled and died to see the end of slavery.Think of the civil rights heroes and foot-soldiers who marched protested and risked their lives to bring about the end to segregation and Jim Crow.Because of them, I grew up taking for granted that women could vote. Because of them, my daughter grew up taking for granted that children of all colors could go to school together. Because of them, Barack Obama and I could wage a hard fought campaign for the Democratic nomination. Because of them, and because of you, children today will grow up taking for granted that an African American or a woman can yes, become President of the United States.When that day arrives and a woman takes the oath of office as our President, we will all stand taller, proud of the values of our nation, proud that every little girl can dream and that her dreams can come true in America. And all of you will know that because of your passion and hard work you helped pave the way for that day.So I want to say to my supporters, when you hear people saying –or think to yourself –“if only” or “what if,” I say,“please don’t go there.” Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward.Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for whatstill can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next President.And I hope and pray that all of you will join me in that effort.To my supporters and colleagues in Congress, to the governors and mayors, elected officials who stood with me, in good times and in bad,thank you for your strength and leadership. To my friends in our labor unions who stood strong every step of the way – I thank you and pledge my support to you. To my friends, from every stage of my life –your love and ongoing commitments sustain me every single day. To my family –especially Bill and Chelsea and my mother, you mean the world to me and I thank you for all you have done.And to my extraordinary staff, volunteers and supporters, thank you for working those long, hard hours. Thank you for dropping everything–leaving work or school–traveling to places you’d never been, sometimes for months on end. And thanks to your families as well because your sacrifice was theirs too.All of you were there for me every step of the way.Being human, we are imperfect. That’s why we need each other. To catch each other when we falter. To encourage each other when we lose heart. Some may lead; others may follow; but none of us can go it alone. The changes we’re working for are changes that we can only accomplish together. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are rights that belong to each of us as individuals.But our lives,our freedom, our happiness,are best enjoyed,best protected, and best advanced when we do work together.That is what we will do now as we join forces with Senator Obama and his campaign. We will make history together as we write the next chapter in America’s story. We will stand united for the values we hold dear, for the vision of progress we share, and for the country we love. There is nothing more American than that.And looking out at you today, I have never felt so blessed. The challenges that I have faced in this campaign are nothing compared to those that millions of Americans face every day in their own lives. So today, I’m going to count my blessings and keep on going. I’m going t o keep doing what I was doing long before the cameras ever showed up and what I’ll be doing long after they’re gone: Working to give every American the same opportunities I had, and working to ensure that every child has the chance to grow up and achieve his or her God-given potential.I will do it with a heart filled with gratitude, with a deep and abiding love for our country– and with nothing but optimism and confidence for the days ahead. This is now our time to do all that we can to make sure that in this election we add another Democratic president to that verysmall list of the last 40 years and that we take back our country and once again move with progress and commitment to the future.Thank you all and God bless you and God bless America.。

克林顿演讲最新5篇克林顿演讲范文篇一我放弃了，但我会继续战斗——希拉里·克林顿On the day we live in an America where no child, no man, and no woman is without health insurance, we will live in a stronger America. That's why we need to help elect Barack Obama our president.当我们有朝一日居住在一个让每个孩子、每个男人、每个女人都享有医疗保障的美国时，我们便拥有了一个更强大的美国。
这就是为什么我们要帮助巴拉克·奥巴马竞选总统职位。
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。
克林顿总统白宫演讲稿英文
克林顿总统白宫演讲稿英文Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor to stand before you today as the President of the United States. As we gather here in the White House, I am reminded of the immense responsibility that comes with this office, and the duty I have to serve the American people with integrity, compassion, and leadership.Throughout my time in office, I have been privileged to address many important issues facing our nation and the world. From economic challenges to international diplomacy, from social justice to environmental sustainability, the role of the President is one of great significance and impact. Today, I want to take this opportunity to share with you some of my thoughts on the state of our nation and the path forward.First and foremost, I believe that the strength of our nation lies in the unity of our people. We are a diverse and vibrant society, and it is our differences that make us strong. It is imperative that we work together to bridge the gaps that divide us, to listen to one another with respect and empathy, and to find common ground for the betterment of all.In terms of our economy, we have made great strides in recent years, but there is still much work to be done. We must continue to invest in education, job creation, and innovation in order to ensure that every American has the opportunity to succeed. We must also address the growing wealth gap and ensure that economic prosperity is shared by all.On the international stage, we face complex challenges that require thoughtful and strategic diplomacy. We must engage with other nations with humility and a commitment to peace, while also standing firm in defense of our values and interests. It is through cooperation and collaboration that we can address global issues such as climate change, terrorism, and human rights.In closing, I want to express my gratitude to the American people for their trust and support. It is a privilege to serve as your President, and I am committed to workingtirelessly on your behalf. Together, we can build a brighter future for our nation and the world.Thank you, and may God bless America.。

美国前总统克林顿夫人-希拉里精彩演讲汇总
美国前总统克林顿夫人-希拉里精彩演讲汇总第一篇：美国前总统克林顿夫人-希拉里精彩演讲汇总希拉里退出竞选演讲稿节选:So I want to say to my supporters: When you hear people saying or think to yourself, “If only, or, ”What if," I say, please, don't go there.我要告诉我的支持者：如果你听到别人说，或者你自己曾经这样想，“如果某件事没有发生”，或者“要是出现了另一种情况”……那么我会说，请不要这样设想。
Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward.Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been.We have to work together for what still can be.And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next president.为往事叹息，会阻碍我们前进。
生命短暂，时间宝贵，沉湎于空想的代价实在太大。
面对现实，我们必须团结起来。
这就是我全力支持奥巴马参议员当选下一任总统的原因。
她对自己参选的意义，总结得非常漂亮。
When we first started, people everywhere asked the same questions.Could a woman really serve as commander-in-chief? Well, I think we answered that one.当选举刚开始的时候，到处都有人在问：一个女人真的能够领导国家吗？我想，我们已经对这个问题做出了回答。
希拉里克林顿演讲稿（五篇范例）
希拉里克林顿演讲稿（五篇范例）第一篇：希拉里克林顿演讲稿Thank you so much.Thank you all.Well, this isn’t exactly the party I’d planned, but I sure like the company.I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you– to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs,who scrimped and saved to raise money,who knocked on doors and made calls, who talked and sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors, who emailed and contributed online, who invested so much in our common enterprise, to the moms and dads who came to our events, who lifted their little girls and little boys on their shoulders and whispered in their ear s, “See, you can be anything you want to be.”Remember-we fought for the single mom with a young daughter, juggling work and school,who told me,“I’m doing it all to better myself for her.”We fought for the woman who grabbed my hand, and asked me,“What are you going to do to make sure I have health care?”and began to cry because even though she works three jobs,she can’t afford insurance.We fought for the young man in the Marine Corps t-shirt who waited months for medical care and said, “Take care of my budd ies over there and then, will you please help take care of me?” We fought for all those who’ve lost jobs and health care,who can’t afford gas or groceries or college, who have felt invisible to their president these last seven years.I entered this race because I have an old-fashioned conviction: that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their dreams.I’ve had every opportunity and blessing in my own life–and I want the same forall Americans.Until that day comes,you will always find me on the front lines of democracy-fighting for the future.The way to continue our fight now–to accomplish the goals for which we stand–is to take our energy, our passion, our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.I understand that we all know this has been a tough fight.The Democratic Party is a family, and it’s now time to restore the ties that bind us together and to come together around the ideals we share, the values we cherish, and the country we love.We all want an economy that sustains the American Dream, the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded, to save for college, a home and retirement, to afford that gas and those groceries and still have a little left over at the end of the month.An economy that lifts all of our people and ensures that our prosperity（繁荣）is broadly distributed and shared.We all want a health care system that is universal, high quality, and affordable so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead end jobs simply to keep their insurance.This isn’t just an issue for me–it is a passion and a cause–and it is a fight I will continue until every single American is insured–no exceptions, no excuses.We all want an America defined by deep and meaningful equality–from civil rights to labor rights,from women’s rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization（联合）to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families.We all want to restore America’s standing in the world,to end the war in Iraq and once again lead by the power of our values, and to join with our allies to confront our shared challenges from poverty and genocide （种族灭绝）to terrorism and global warm ing.You know,I’vebeen involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades.During those forty years, our country has voted ten times for President.Democrats won only three of those times.And the man who won two of those elections is with us today.We made tremendous progress during the 90s under a Democratic President, with a flourishing economy, and our leadership for peace and security respected around the world.Just think how much more progress we could have made over the past 40 years if we had a Democratic president.Think about the lost opportunities of these past seven years–on the environment and the economy, on health care and civil rights,on education, foreign policy and the Supreme Court.Imagine how far we could’ve come, how much we could’ve achieved if we had just had a Democrat in the White House.We cannot let this moment slip away.We have come too far and accomplished too much.Now the journey ahead will not be easy.Some will say we can’t do it.That it’s too hard.That we’re just not up to the task.But for as long as America has existed, it has been the American way to reject“can’t do”claims,and to choose instead to stretch the boundaries of the possible through hard work, determination, and a pioneering spirit.It is this belief,this optimism, that Senator Obama and I share, and that has inspired so many millions of our supporters to make their voices heard.So today,I am standing with Senator Obama to say: Yes we can.This election is a turning point election and it is critical that we all understand what our choice really is.Will we go forward together or will we stall and slip backwards.Think how much progress we have already made.When we first started,people everywhere asked the same questions:Could a woman really serve as Commander-in-Chief? Well, I think we answered that one.And could an AfricanAmerican really be our President? Senator Obama has answered that one.You can be so proud that,from now on,it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories,unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee,unremarkable to think that a woman can be the President of the United States.And that is truly remarkable，my friend.Although we weren’t able to shatter that highest,hardest glass ceiling this time,thank s to you,it’s got about 18 million cracks in it.And the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.That has always been the history of progress in America.Think of the suffragists who gathered at Seneca Falls in 1848 and those who kept fighting until women could cast their votes.Think of the abolitionists who struggled and died to see the end of slavery.Think of the civil rights heroes and foot-soldiers who marched protested and risked their lives to bring about the end to segregation and Jim Crow.Because of them, I grew up taking for granted that women could vote.Because of them, my daughter grew up taking for granted that children of all colors could go to school together.Because of them, Barack Obama and I could wage a hard fought campaign for the Democratic nomination.Because of them, and because of you, children today will grow up taking for granted that an African American or a woman can yes, become President of the United States.When that day arrives and a woman takes the oath of office as our President, we will all stand taller, proud of the values of our nation, proud that every little girl can dream and that her dreams can come true in America.And all of you will know that because of your passion and hard work you helped pave the way for that day.So I want to say to my supporters, whenyou hear people saying –or think to yourself –“if only” or “what if,” I say,“please don’t go there.” Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward.Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been.We have to work together for what still can be.And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next President.And I hope and pray that all of you will join me in that effort.To my supporters and colleagues in Congress, to the governors and mayors, elected officials who stood with me, in good times and in bad,thank you for your strength and leadership.T o my friends in our labor unions who stood strong every step of the way – I thank you and pledge my support to you.To my friends, from every stage of my life – your love and ongoing commitments sustain me every single day.To my family – especially Bill and Chelsea and my mother, you mean the world to me and I thank you for all you have done.And to my extraordinary staff, volunteers and supporters, thank you for working those long, hard hours.Thank you for dropping everything–leaving work or school–traveling to places you’d never been, sometimes for months on end.And thanks to your families as well because your sacrifice was theirs too.All of you were there for me every step of the way.Being human, we are imperfect.That’s why we need ea ch other.T o catch each other when we falter.T o encourage each other when we lose heart.Some may lead;others may follow;but none of us can go it alone.The changes we’re working for are changes that we can only accomplish together.Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are rights that belong to each of us as individuals.But our lives,our freedom, our happiness,are best enjoyed,best protected, and best advanced when we do work together.That iswhat we will do now as we join forces with Senator Obama and his campaign.We will make history together as we write the next chapter in America’s story.We will stand united for the values we hold dear, for the vision of progress we share, and for the country we love.There is nothing more American than that.And looking out at you today, I have never felt so blessed.The challenges that I have faced in this campaign are nothing compared to those that millions of Americans face every day in their own lives.So today, I’m going to count my blessings and keep on going.I’m go ing to keep doing what I was doing long before the cameras ever showed up and what I’ll be doing long after they’re gone: Working to give every American the same opportunities I had, and working to ensure that every child has the chance to grow up and achieve his or her God-given potential.I will do it with a heart filled with gratitude, with a deep and abiding love for our country– and with nothing but optimism and confidence for the days ahead.This is now our time to do all that we can to make sure that in this election we add another Democratic president to that very small list of the last 40 years and that we take back our country and once again move with progress and commitment to the future.Thank you all and God bless you and God bless America.第二篇：希拉里克林顿讲话希拉里·克林顿:我的一部分阻力的周二下午，前民主党总统候选人希拉里克林顿确认自己是特朗普的广泛抵抗运动的一员。

希拉里纽约大学毕业典礼演讲辞(中英文对照)
Commencement Speech at New York University by Hillary ClintonThank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. And does it get any better than this, a graduation ceremony for one of the great universities in the world in the home of New York Yankees? Nothing could be better. (Applause.) And thanks to all of you for cheering a visitor. I didn't realize that was permitted in Yankee Stadium.I am honored to receive this degree. And on behalf of the other honorees, I say thank you. Thank you for giving us this singular privilege of being part of this commencement ceremony. As I look out at this huge crowd of graduates, family, and friends, I can only reflect on what an extraordinary moment in history you are receiving your degrees, a moment in time of our country and the world where your talents and your energy, your passion and commitment is more needed than ever. There is no doubt that you are well prepared for a world that seems somewhat uncertain but which will welcome the education that you have received on behalf of not only of yourselves and your families, but your communities and your country.As Secretary of State, I am well aware of the challenges that we face. You, as new graduates, and your generation will be up against those challenges: climate change and hunger, extreme poverty and extreme ideologies, new diseases and nuclear proliferation. But I am absolutely convinced that you and we are up to the task. There is no problem we face here in America or around the world that will not yield to human effort, to cooperation, to positive interdependence that makes clear humanity is going on, our challenges are ones that summon the best of us, and we will make the world better tomorrow than it is today. (Applause.)Now, I know that it is fashionable in commencement speeches to be idealistic, and that may sound so, but at the root of my conviction is a strong sense of reality. Because you see, I don’t think we have a choice. We can sit on the sidelines, we can wring our hands, we can retreat into cynicism, and we know what the results will be: We will cede the field to those whose ideologies are absolutely anathema to people of conscience and faith all over the world. So our positive interdependence, which is a fact, will prepare us to meet these challenges. But they can no longer be seen just as government-to-government. There is a time and an opportunity, and with the new technologies available, for us to be citizen diplomats, citizen activists, to solve problems one by one that will give in to hard work, patience, and persistence, and will then aggregate to the solutions we seek.Now, I know we cannot send a special envoy to negotiate with a pandemic, or call a summit with carbon dioxide, or sever relations with the global financial crisis. To confront these threats and to seize the opportunities that they also present, we need to build new partnerships from the bottom up, and to use every tool at our disposal. That is the heart of smart power. But smart power requires smart people, people who have gone the distance for their education, who have opened themselves up to this increasingly complex and interconnected world, and this changing global landscape requires us to expand our concept of diplomacy.Now, when I was graduating so many years ago, diplomacy was the domain of privileged men working behind closed doors. Today, our diplomats are not limited, and our diplomacy is no longer confined to the State Department or our embassies. We are laying the foundation for 21st century statecraft. Where? In the classrooms of NYU, in the board rooms of the businesses of this great city, in the halls of academia, in theoperating rooms of our great hospitals. We are looking for those personal commitments and connections, and that is where all of you come in.The biggest chal lenges we face today will be solved by the 60 percent of the world’s population under the age of 30. And already, young people, like all of you, are using their talents and ingenuity to help fashion their own brand of service and diplomacy.A few examples: In the nation of Colombia, two young college graduates, fed up with the violence in their country, used Facebook to organize 14 million people into the largest antiterrorism demonstrations in the history of the world. (Applause.) In a few short weeks, their peaceful efforts did as much damage to the terrorist networks as years of military action.I know that one of your graduates spent months on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro searching for sustainable development models to bring to women and families and help them lift themselves out of poverty. Another of your classmates was studying in China last year when the devastating earthquake struck, and that has led to work ever since to deliver supplies and assistance to villagers in remote areas. International students have gone on to fight for human rights in Rwanda, build civil society in the nation of Georgia, run businesses, and lead governments. And many of you, I know, used social networking platforms to make Barack Obama the President of the United States of America. (Applause.)President Obama and I deeply understand how important it is for the young people of our country, but the young people of every country, to be given the opportunity to translate your beliefs and ideals into service and action, just as John Kennedy did when he created the Peace Corps and as President Bill Clinton did when he created AmeriCorps. This is in the tradition of citizen service. (Applause.)So we need to figure out ways to prepare all of our institutions of government, including and especially the State Department, to harness the efforts of those who do not enter the Foreign Service but still engage in your own type of foreign service. Our State Department personnel are skilled, dedicated, passionate, and effective. And for those of you still looking for jobs, we are hiring a new generation of diplomats. (Applause.)I hope many of you will join our ranks in the Foreign Service and the Civil Service, but I know that not all will choose to become professional diplomats, and I also know that the State Department alone cannot tackle these great problems. So my message to you today is this: Be the special envoys of your ideals; use the communication tools at your disposal to advance the interests of our nation and humanity everywhere; be citizen ambassadors using your personal and professional lives to forge global partnerships, build on a common commitment to solving our planet’s common problems. By creating your own networks, you can extend the power of governments to meet the needs of this and future generations. You can help lay the groundwork for the kind of global cooperation that is essential if we wish, in our time, to end hunger and defeat disease, to combat climate change, and to give every child the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential. (Applause.)This starts with opportunities for educational exchanges, the kind of dorm room and classroom diplomacy that NYU is leading on. I want to commend my friend, your president, the trustees of this great university,for understanding and believing in the importance of educational exchanges.You know, study abroad is like spring training for this century. It helps you develop the fundamentals, the teamwork, and the determination to succeed. And we want more American students to have that opportunity. That’s why we are increasing funding for Gilman scholarships by more than 40 percent. More than 400 New Yorkers have used Gilman scholarships to spend a semester abroad, including nine students from NYU last year.Now, of course, study abroad is a two-way street, and we should bring more qualified students from other countries to study here. NYU provides a prime example of what international students can bring to a campus and how they can benefit themselves and their countries. Over 700,000 international students came to the United States last year, and NYU had the second largest number of any school in the country. (Applause.)Now, the benefits from such exchanges are so great that I am committed to streamline the visa process –(applause) – particularly for science and technology students so that even more qualified students will come to our campuses in the future. We’re also doing more to marry technology with global service. That’s why today I am pleased to announce that over the next year the State Department will be creating Virtual Student Foreign Service Internships to harness the energy of a rising generation of citizen diplomats. Working from college and university campuses, American students will partner with our embassies abroad to conduct digital diplomacy that reflects the realities of the networked world. And you can learn more about this initiative on the State Department’s website.But I know that you don’t have to wait for us to create a new program. Whe n you go home today, go online and find the website called Kiva, K-i-v-a, where you can help someone like San Ma, a mother in Vietnam who is seeking a microcredit loan to buy rice seed and fertilizer for her family farm; or log on to Heifer International’s site, and for less than the cost of a dinner out, you can donate a flock of geese to a hungry family in Asia or Africa; or help Wangari Mathai’s Green Belt movement in planting trees and offsetting carbon emissions and empowering women in Africa.Now, supporting these projects and others like them doesn't require a lot of time or money. But for the people you help and the planet you protect, your participation can be not just a game changer, but a life changer. Global service also means promoting good governance. We need informed citizens, both here at home and around the world, to hold their governments accountable for getting results and finding solutions.And this is not only directed at the graduates today, but there are a lot of proud mothers and fathers and husbands and wives and grandparents and children and others who have seen you to this day. And this is an offer and a challenge to all of us. In the times that we face, we know we don’t have a person to waste, we don’t have an idea to overlook. In fact, we have to be even more committed to reaching out and crossing the divides that too often separate us. For those who have come to this country to celebrate a child or a friend’s graduation, please take home this message: America more than ever wants your help; in fact, needs your help as we build these new partnerships and as we seek solutions to the global crises that cannot be solved by any one people or one government alone.We need each other. We always have. It’s just so much more apparent toda y. A flu starting in one country spreads quickly around the world. An extremist ideology starting with a few people explodes across the internet. A global financial crisis affects farmers and small business people in every corner of the globe. That is a new reality. But equally important is that we also now have the tools to work together to forge this common approach to these common threats.So, Class of 2009, you have an historic opportunity. Every class is told that, and to some extent I suppose it is a lways true. But just in the course of this commencement ceremony, you’ve heard several references to the global economic crisis. The times that you are graduating in are, yes, perhaps more difficult and somewhat more daunting. But that’s when we really ris e together. One of the best lines from one of my favorite baseball movies, A League of Their Own –(applause) –said it well, “If it were easy, anybody could do it.”You know, when the Yankees moved in to their old stadium next door in 1923, there was only person on the roster from west of St. Louis. Their team mostly looked the same, talked the same, and came from the same kind of cities and towns and rural areas across America. Think about the team that plays in this new stadium. It includes players from Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, Panama, four other countries. The Dominican Republic alone is home to seven Yankees. In the same way, NYU has evolved as well. The university was founded to serve the City of New York. Today it serves the world.We know that there is much yet ahead that none of us can predict. There is no way to stop change. Change will come. What is unknown is whether it will bring progress or not. But you have done what you needed to do to get the best insurance policy you could, and that is an NYU education. (Applause.) And so armed with that education, I have every confidence that you will not only succeed by the dint of your own hard work and effort, but you will contribute far beyond your own personal needs. This is your moment. You’ve made it to the big leagues, and you are up to bat. Go out and give us a future worthy of this great university, of this great city, of this great country, and of the world we all wish to create together.Thank you, congratulations, and Godspeed. (Applause.)。
克林顿就职演讲双语
克林顿就职演讲双语The Second Inaugural Address by Bill ClintonJanuary 20, 1997My fellow citizens :At this last presidential inauguration of the 20th century, let us lift our e yes toward the challenges that await us in the next century. It is our grea t good fortune that time and chance have put us not only at the edge of a new century, in a new millennium, but on the edge of a bright new p rospect in human affairs, a moment that will define our course, and our c haracter, for decades to come. We must keep our old democracy forever young. Guided by the ancient vision of a promised land, let us set our si ghts upon a land of new promise.The promise of America was born in the 18th century out of the bold co nviction that we are all created equal. It was extended and preserved in t he 19th century, when our nation spread across the continent, saved the u nion, and abolished the awful scourge of slavery.Then, in turmoil and triumph, that promise exploded onto the world stage to make this the American Century.And what a century it has been. America became the world's mightiest in dustrial power; saved the world from tyranny in two world wars and a lo ng cold war; and time and again, reached out across the globe to million s who, like us, longed for the blessings of liberty.Along the way, Americans produced a great middle class and security in old age; built unrivaled centers of learning and opened public schools to all; split the atom and explored the heavens; invented the computer and t he microchip; and deepened the wellspring of justice by making a revolut ion in civil rights for African Americans and all minorities, and extending the circle of citizenship, opportunity and dignity to women.Now, for the third time, a new century is upon us, and another time to choose. We began the 19th century with a choice, to spread our nation fro m coast to coast. We began the 20th century with a choice, to harness th e Industrial Revolution to our values of free enterprise, conservation, and human decency. Those choices made all the difference.At the dawn of the 21st century a free people must now choose to shape the forces of the Information Age and the global society, to unleash the limitless potential of all our people, and, yes, to form a more perfect un ion.When last we gathered, our march to this new future seemed less certain than it does today. We vowed then to set a clear course to renew our n ation.In these four years, we have been touched by tragedy, exhilarated by chal lenge, strengthened by achievement. America stands alone as the world's i ndispensable nation. Once again, our economy is the strongest on Earth. Once again, we are building stronger families, thriving communities, better educational opportunities, a cleaner environment. Problems that once see med destined to deepen now bend to our efforts: our streets are safer and record numbers of our fellow citizens have moved from welfare to wor k.And once again, we have resolved for our time a great debate over the r ole of government. Today we can declare: Government is not the proble m, and government is not the solution. We,- the American people, we are the solution. Our founders understood that well and gave us a democrac y strong enough to endure for centuries, flexible enough to face our com mon challenges and advance our common dreams in each new day.As times change, so government must change. We need a new govern ment for a new century - humble enough not to try to solve all our prob lems for us, but strong enough to give us the tools to solve our problem s for ourselves; a government that is smaller, lives within its means, anddoes more with less. Yet where it can stand up for our values and intere sts in the world, and where it can give Americans the power to make a real difference in their everyday lives, government should do more, not le ss. The preeminent mission of our new government is to give all Americ ans an opportunity,- not a guarantee, but a real opportunity to build better lives.Beyond that, my fellow citizens, the future is up to us. Our founders tau ght us that the preservation of our liberty and our union depends upon re sponsible citizenship. And we need a new sense of responsibility for a ne w century. There is work to do, work that government alone cannot do: t eaching children to read; hiring people off welfare rolls; coming out from behind locked doors and shuttered windows to help reclaim our streets fr om drugs and gangs and crime; taking time out of our own lives to serv e others.Each and every one of us, in our own way, must assume personal respon sibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our neighbors and our nation. Our greatest responsibility is to embrace a new spirit of com munity for a new century. For any one of us to succeed, we must succee d as one America.The challenge of our past remains the challenge of our future, will we be one nation, one people, with one common destiny, or not? Will we all c ome together, or come apart?The divide of race has been America's constant curse. And each new wav e of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contem pt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction are no diffe rent. These forces have nearly destroyed our nation in the past. They plag ue us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. And they torment the lives of millions in fractured nations all around the world.These obsessions cripple both those who hate and, of course, those who are hated, robbing both of what they might become. We cannot, we will n ot, succumb to the dark impulses that lurk in the far regions of the soul everywhere. We shall overcome them. And we shall replace them with th e generous spirit of a people who feel at home with one another.Our rich texture of racial, religious and political diversity will be a Gods end in the 21st century. Great rewards will come to those who can live t ogether, learn together, work together, forge new ties that bind together. As this new era approaches we can already see its broad outlines. Ten ye ars ago, the Internet was the mystical province of physicists; today, it is a commonplace encyclopedia for millions of schoolchildren. Scientists now are decoding the blueprint of human life. Cures for our most feared illn esses seem close at hand.The world is no longer divided into two hostile camps. Instead, now we are building bonds with nations that once were our adversaries. Growing connections of commerce and culture give us a chance to lift the fortunes and spirits of people the world over. And for the very first time in all of history, more people on this planet live under democracy than dictators hip.My fellow Americans, as we look back at this remarkable century, we m ay ask, can we hope not just to follow, but even to surpass the achievem ents of the 20th century in America and to avoid the awful bloodshed th at stained its legacy? To that question, every American here and every A merican in our land today must answer a resounding "Yes."This is the heart of our task. With a new vision of government, a new s ense of responsibility, a new spirit of community, we will sustain Americ a's journey. The promise we sought in a new land we will find again in a land of new promise.In this new land, education will be every citizen's most prized possession. Our schools will have the highest standards in the world, igniting the spark of possibility in the eyes of every girl and every boy. And the doors of higher education will be open to all. The knowledge and power of th e Information Age will be within reach not just of the few, but of every classroom, every library, every child. Parents and children will have time not only to work, but to read and play together. And the plans they ma ke at their kitchen table will be those of a better home, a better job, the certain chance to go to college.Our streets will echo again with the laughter of our children, because no one will try to shoot them or sell them drugs anymore. Everyone who ca n work, will work, with today's permanent under class part of tomorrow's growing middle class. New miracles of medicine at last will reach not o nly those who can claim care now, but the children and hardworking fam ilies too long denied.We will stand mighty for peace and freedom, and maintain a strong defen se against terror and destruction. Our children will sleep free from the thr eat of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Ports and airports, farms a nd factories will thrive with trade and innovation and ideas. And the worl d's greatest democracy will lead a whole world of democracies.Our land of new promise will be a nation that meets its obligations, a na tion that balances its budget, but never loses the balance of its values. A nation where our grandparents have secure retirement and health care, an d their grandchildren know we have made the reforms necessary to sustai n those benefits for their time. A nation that fortifies the world's most pr oductive economy even as it protects the great natural bounty of our wate r, air, and majestic land.And in this land of new promise, we will have reformed our politics so t hat the voice of the people will always speak louder than the din of narr ow interests, regaining the participation and deserving the trust of all Am ericans.Fellow citizens, let us build that America, a nation ever moving forward t oward realizing the full potential of all its citizens. Prosperity and power, yes, they are important, and we must maintain them. But let us never fo rget: The greatest progress we have made, and the greatest progress we h ave yet to make, is in the human heart. In the end, all the world's wealt h and a thousand armies are no match for the strength and decency of th e human spirit.Thirty-four years ago, the man whose life we celebrate today spoke to us down there, at the other end of this Mall, in words that moved the cons cience of a nation. Like a prophet of old, he told of his dream that one day America would rise up and treat all its citizens as equals before the law and in the heart. Martin Luther King's dream was the American Drea m. His quest is our quest: the ceaseless striving to live out our true cree d. Our history has been built on such dreams and labors. And by our dre ams and labors we will redeem the promise of America in the 21st centu ry.To that effort I pledge all my strength and every power of my office. I a sk the members of Congress here to join in that pledge. The American p eople returned to office a President of one party and a Congress of anoth er. Surely, they did not do this to advance the politics of petty bickering and extreme partisanship they plainly deplore. No, they call on us instead to be repairers of the breach, and to move on with America's mission. America demands and deserves big things from us,- and nothing big ever came from being small. Let us remember the timeless wisdom of Cardin al Bernardin, when facing the end of his own life. He said, "It is wrong to waste the precious gift of time, on acrimony and division."Fellow citizens, we must not waste the precious gift of this time. For all of us are on that same journey of our lives, and our journey, too, will come to an end. But the journey of our America must go on.And so, my fellow Americans, we must be strong, for there is much to dare. The demands of our time are great and they are different. Let us m eet them with faith and courage, with patience and a grateful and happy heart. Let us shape the hope of this day into the noblest chapter in our h istory. Yes, let us build our bridge. A bridge wide enough and strong eno ugh for every American to cross over to a blessed land of new promise. May those generations whose faces we cannot yet see, whose names we may never know, say of us here that we led our beloved land into a ne w century with the American Dream alive for all her children; with the American promise of a more perfect union a reality for all her people; w ith America's bright flame of freedom spreading throughout all the world. From the height of this place and the summit of this century, let us go f orth. May God strengthen our hands for the good work ahead, and alway s, always bless our America.【中文译文】：克林顿第二次就职演讲同胞们：藉此二十世纪最后一届总统就职演讲之际，让我们睁开眼睛迎接下一世纪我们将面临的挑战。

希拉里·克林顿在美国市长会议英语演讲稿
希拉里·克林顿在2021年美国市长会议英语演讲稿Thank you! Thank you all so much.Its great to be here with all of you. Im 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 within 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, Theres noRepublican or Democratic way to pick up the garbage. You pick it up, or you dont pick it up.And I loved being with people who understood that.Ive 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 and committed 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 oranIndependent: If I am president, Americas mayors will always have a friend in the White House.Now, as I was preparing to come here, I couldnt help but think of some of those who arentwith 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. Joes 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 Lincolns Emancipation 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, hedidnt 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.Id been in Charleston that day. Id 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, confusion into purpose and action?But thats 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 cant 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 wouldnt come together to keep guns out of the hands of domesticabusers, or people suffering from mental illnesses, even people on the terrorist watch list. Thatdoesnt make sense, and it is a rebuke to this nation welove and care about.The President is right: The politics on this issue have been poisoned. But we cant 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 of all who have been lost because of this senseless gun violencein our country.But today, I stand before you because I know and you know there is 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, its tempting, it is tempting to dismiss a tragedy like this as an isolated incident, tobelieve that in todays America, bigotry is largely behind us, that institutionalized racism nolonger exists.But despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, Americas 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 dont like to say out loud or discuss with our children. But we haveto. Thats 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 2021, 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. Its also in the cruel joke that goesunchallenged. Its in the off-hand comments about not wanting those people in theneighborhood.Lets 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 they spur us to actionor prompt us to question our own assumptions and privilege.We cant hide from any of these hard truths about race and justice 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. Shes the one whospotted Dylann Roofs car on the highway. She could have gone on about her business. Shecould have looked to her own safety. But thats 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 a lot of Dylann Roofs in theworld, but there are a lot of Debbie Dills too. She didnt 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 others 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 2021. I know youre making reforms in your own communities,promoting tolerance 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 thats not all. Across our country, there is so much that is working. Its 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 theirdrivers 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 their childrens first teachers,and spendmore time reading, talking, and singing 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, and talks about open-source leadership andmayors as pragmatic problem-solvers.Thats 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 Ill call a new Flexible Federalism that empowers and 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.Ive put Four Fights at the center of my campaign:First, to build an economy for tomorrow not yesterday;Second, to strengthen Americas 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 a real difference in peoples 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 are laws 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, its about how weteach our children to see thathumanity too.Andy Young is here, and I want to tell a story about him because I think its 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 wasnt 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 city too 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 whatsworking 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. Theyre in their most intimate of communities and astranger who doesnt look or dress like them joins in. They dont judge. They dont question.They dont reject. They just welcome. If hes 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 astranger and you welcomedme.Thats humanity at its best. Thats also America at its best. And thats the spirit we need tonurture our lives and our families and our communities.I know its not usual for somebody running for president to say what we need more of in thiscountry is love and kindness. But thats exactly what we need more of.We need to be not only too busy to hate but too caring, too loving to ignore, to walk away, togive up.Part of the reason Im running for president is I love this country. I am so grateful for each andevery blessing and opportunity Ive 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.Ive seen the expansion of not just rights but opportunities to so many of our fellow men andwomen who had been left out and left behind.But we have unfinished business. And I am absolutely confident and 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. Im excitedabout what we can accomplish together.I thank you for what youve already done and I look forward to all that you will be doing in thefuture.Thank you. God bless you, and God bless America.。
“霉霉”纽约大学2022年毕业典礼演讲(中英文互译)
Hi, I’m Taylor.嗨，我是泰勒。
Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable.上次在这么大的体育场里，我穿着高跟鞋和闪亮紧身衣在跳舞。
这套衣服舒服多了。
I’d like to say a huge thank you to NYU‘s Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Bill Berkeley and all the trustees and members of the board, NYU’s President Andrew Hamilton, Provost Katherine Fleming, and the faculty and alumni here today who have made this day possible. I feel so proud to share this day with my fellow honorees Susan Hockfield and Felix Matos Rodriguez, who humble me with the ways they improve our world with their work. As for me, I’m…90% sure the main reason I’m here is because I have a song called ‘22’. And let me just say, I am elated to be here with you today as we celebrate and graduate New York University’s Class of 2022.我想对纽约大学董事会主席比尔·伯克利和所有董事会成员、纽约大学校长安德鲁·汉密尔顿、教务长凯瑟琳·弗莱明，以及今天在座的教师和校友们表示衷心的感谢，是他们让这一天成为可能。
希拉里大学毕业演讲稿
希拉里大学毕业演讲稿据美国《华盛顿邮报》18日报道，在大学毕业40周年之际，美国前国务卿希拉里将于10月回到母校耶鲁大学法学院，在校友聚会活动上发表演讲，并接受“优秀奖”表彰。
耶鲁大学法学院网站发布消息称，希拉里将参加“校友周末”活动，于10月5日在耶鲁大学发表演讲。
这次周末活动的主题是“全球宪政”，但是不清楚希拉里将在讲话中谈到哪些内容。
希拉里与其丈夫、美国前总统克林顿当年在耶鲁大学相识，19XX年从法学院毕业。
克林顿曾于20XX年在耶鲁大学法学院校友活动上发表讲话，纪念其毕业35周年，演讲主题是“美国面临的全球挑战”。
来自耶鲁大学法学院各个班级的校友都收到了这次校友聚会的邀请。
希拉里演讲时，现场可能将有数百甚至数千名卓越律师、政策制定者与其他知识分子当听众。
据英国《每日邮报》8月15日报道，20xx年，美国一名10岁的小男孩枪杀了42岁生父。
近日，该男孩面临一级蓄意谋杀罪的指控，即将接受审判。
该案件引起广泛的社会关注。
20xx年8月，这名男孩为了阻止父亲殴打他和6岁的妹妹，在妹妹在场的情况下，在起居室用手枪对准父亲的后脑将其击毙。
随即，男孩拨打了911，语无伦次地向急救人员简单描述了事件经过，并向医护人员求助。
急救人员赶到现场时，男孩父亲一息尚存；当晚，他的父亲在医院去世。
新墨西哥州相关部门七次上门调查，该案件引起了全国关注。
今年8月，即该事件发生后的第四年，该男孩以一级蓄意谋杀罪被起诉，即将面临法庭审判。
14岁的男孩是否应该受到如此严重的宣判引起了极大争议。
专家表示，该男孩是美国历史上接受严重宣判的极少数少年儿童之一。
男孩的辩护律师也表示，这是他从事法律事业20年来遇到的最沉痛的案件，对此深表遗憾。
然而，案件发生四年来，警方始终坚持要以一级谋杀罪对该男孩定罪。
该地区的司法检察官拒绝向相关媒体披露该案件的细节，但他表示要坚持一级谋杀罪罪名，因为警方已掌握了足够的证据。
这名男孩已经意识到自己犯下了大错，法官还在衡量罪名的严重性与男孩父亲的暴力行为在此枪杀案中扮演的角色。
希拉里克林顿在纽约大学的演讲
回顾我多年前从学校毕业的时候，外交是闭门谋事的高官要员的事情。如今，我们的外交人员来自各行各业，我们的外交工作也不局限于国务院或我国驻外使领馆。我们正在为二十一世纪的治国大计培养人才。在哪里？就在纽约大学的教室里，就在这座伟大城市中各家公司董事会的会议室里，就在学术会堂里，就在我们一所所优秀医院的手术室里。我们需要的是个人承诺和个人纽带，而这正是你们各位能够一展身手之处。
Now, when I was graduating so many years ago, diplomacy was the domain of privileged men working behind closed doors. Today, our diplomats are not limited, and our diplomacy is no longer confined to the State Department or our embassies. We are laying the foundation for 21st century statecraft. Where? In the classrooms of NYU, in the board rooms of the businesses of this great city, in the halls of academia, in the operating rooms of our great hospitals. We are looking for those personal commitments and connections, and that is where all of you come in.
dare to compete,dare to care希拉里耶鲁大学演讲稿
Dare to Compete, Dare to Care敢于竞争，勇于关爱---美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿耶鲁大学演讲Dare to compete. Dare to care. Dare to dream. Dare to love. Practice the art of making possible. And no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going. 要敢于竞争，敢于关爱，敢于憧憬，大胆去爱！要努力创造奇迹！无论发生什么，即使有人在你背后大声喊叫，也要勇往直前。
------------------------------------It is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at Yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary. I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School. And it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made.What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that I received. It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since. I began working with New Haven legal services representing children. And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center. I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children’s Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated. Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable.Now, looking back, there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken. I didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and then I’ll go to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I’ll go to Arkansas. I didn’t think like that. I was taking each day at a time. But, I’ve been very fortunate because I’ve always had an idea in my mind about what I thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose. A set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in. A passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. Because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential.But you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, but standing alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have those concerns.When I was thinking about running for the United States Senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one I never could have dreamed that I would have been makingwhen I was here on campus-I visited a school in New York City and I met a young woman, who was a star athlete.I was there because of Billy Jean King promoting an HBO special about women in sports called “Dare to compete.” It was about Title IX and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports.And although I played not very well at intramural sports, I have always been a strong supporter of women in sports. And I was introduced by this young woman, and as I went to shake her hand she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying I should or shouldn’t run for the Senate. And I was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she held onto my hand and she said, “Dare t o compete, Mrs. Clinton. Dare to compete.”I took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for everyone to see and you don’t know what is going to happen from one day to the next. And yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, being involved in classes or professions or just life, where we know we are competing with others.I took her advice and I did compete because I chose to do so. And the biggest choices that you’ll face in your life will be yours alone to make. I’m sure you’ll receive good advice. You’re got a great education to go back and reflect about what is right for you, but you eventually will have to choose and I hope that you will dare to compete. And by that I don’t mean the kind of cutthroat competition that is too often characterized by what is driving America today.I mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take this risk, you can take this next step.And it doesn’t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed. In fact, you won’t. There are setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments. You will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you. But if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others. You can get back up, you can keep going.But it is also important, as I have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit. I think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. I chose neither my family nor my country, bu t they as much as anything I’ve ever done, determined my course.You compare my or your circumstances with those of the majority of people who’ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born knowing too well what their futures will be. They lack the freedom to choose their life’s path. They’re imprisoned by circumstances of poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.So, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even more difficult, dare to care. Dare to care about people who need our help to succeed and fulfill their own lives. There are so many out there and sometimes all it takes is the simplest of gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already. I know that the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.You have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was the right thing to do and because it gave something back to you. You have dared to care.Well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry. Dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources. Dare to care about protecting our environment. Dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance. Dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail. The seven million people who suffer from HIV/AIDS. And thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with HIV/AIDS, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.And I’ll also add, dare enough to care about our political process. You know, as I go and spea k with students I’m impressed so much, not only in formal settings, on campuses, but with my daughter and her friends, about how much you care, about how willing you are to volunteer and serve. You may have missed the last wave of the revolution, but you’ve understood that the munity revolution is there for you every single day. And you’ve been willing to be part of remarking lives in our community.And yet, there is a real resistance, a turning away from the political process. I hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy.Your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world.And so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. Dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics. Some have called you the generation of choice. You’ve been raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles. You’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.You’ve been inves ted with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. And I think as I look at all thesurveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.The social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down. Community service and religious involvement being up. But if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the numbers tell a far more troubling tale. Many of you I know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government either can’t understand or won’t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.Well, I admit there is enough truth in that critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated. But at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national peril. Political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity and responsibility as well as community. Americorps and the Peace Corps exist because of political decisions. Our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices. Our ability to cure disease or log onto the Internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments. Ethnic cleansing in Kosovo ended because of political leadership. Your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems. Many used GI Bills or government loans, as I did, to attend college.Now, I could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim. And, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate. It is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now. There’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.It is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about; rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.But as many have said before and as Vaclav Havel has said to memorably, “It cannot s uffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions. It is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this Earth and of our deeds.” And I think we are called on to reject, in this time o f blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our God-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.During my campaign, when times were tough and days were long I used to think about the example of Harriet Tubman, a heroic New Yorker, a 19th century Moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom. She would say to those who she gathered up in theSouth where she kept going back year after year from the safety of Auburn, New York, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. If they heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going. If they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom. Well, those aren’t the risks we face. It is more the silence and a pathy and indifference that dogs our heels.Thirty-two years ago, I spoke at my own graduation from Wellesley, where I did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead to embrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.For after all, our fate is to be free. To choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.Just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life. And as I think about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, I have a sense of what their feeling. Their hearts are leaping with joy, but it’s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own American dreams. Well, I applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as I applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.And I leave these graduates with the same message I hope to leave with my graduate. Dare to compete. Dare to care. Dare to dream. Dare to love. Practice the art of making possible. And no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.Thank you and God bless you all.。

希拉里克林顿在纽约大学毕业典礼上的演讲Remarks at the New York University Commencement CeremonyHillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of StateYankee Stadium, New York CityMay 13, 20092009年美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿在纽约大学毕业典礼上的演讲纽约大学扬基体育场2009年5月13日Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. And does it get any better than this, a graduation ceremony for one of the great universities in the world in the home of New York Yankees? Nothing could be better. (Applause.) And thanks to all of you for cheering a visitor. I didn't realize that was permitted in Yankee Stadium.谢谢，谢谢，非常感谢。
还有比这更好的事吗——世界上最好的大学之一在纽约扬基队主场所在地举行毕业典礼？真是再好不过了。
（掌声）谢谢大家如此热烈地为一位来访的客人加油。
我原以为在扬基体育场不可以这样做。
I am honored to receive this degree. And on behalf of the other honorees, I say thank you. Thank you for giving us this singular privilege of being part of this commencement ceremony. As I look out at this huge crowd of graduates, family, and friends, I can only reflect on what an extraordinary moment in history you are receiving your degrees, a moment in time of our country and the world where your talents and your energy, your passion and commitment is more needed than ever. There is no doubt that you are well prepared for a world that seems somewhat uncertain but which will welcome the education that you have received on behalf of not only of yourselves and your families, but your communities and your country.能够获得这个学位，我感到十分荣幸。
我代表获得此一荣誉的其他人向你们表示感谢。
谢谢你们给予我们参加这次毕业典礼的殊荣。
当我看到眼前这一大群毕业生及其亲朋好友时，我不禁想到，你们是在一个不同寻常的历史时刻获得学位，我们的国家和整个世界比以往更需要你们的才智和精力、你们的激情和承诺。
毫无疑问，你们已经为投入这样的世界作好了充分的准备：这个世界似乎前景不很明朗，但将赞赏你们不仅为了你们自己和家人而且为了你们的社区和国家所接受的教育。
As Secretary of State, I am well aware of the challenges that we face. You, as new graduates, and your generation will be up against those challenges: climate change and hunger, extreme poverty and extreme ideologies, new diseases and nuclear proliferation. But I am absolutely convinced that you and we are up to the task. There is no problem we face here in America or around the world that will not yield to human effort, to cooperation, to positive interdependence that makes clear humanity is going on, our challenges are ones that summon the best of us, and we will make the world better tomorrow than it is today. (Applause.)作为国务卿，我十分清楚我们面临的各项挑战。
作为新的毕业生，你们和你们这一代人将面对这样的挑战：气候变化和饥饿、赤贫和极端主义的意识形态、新的疾病和核扩散。
但我深信，你们和我们能够胜任这样的任务。
我们在美国和整个世界所面临的各种问题，都能够通过人们的努力、合作和积极的相互依赖得到解决，而这种相互依赖表明，人类社会正在继续前进。
挑战将激发我们最好的一面，我们将把明天的世界变得比今天更加美好。
（掌声）Now, I know that it is fashionable in commencement speeches to be idealistic, and that may sound so, but at the root of my conviction is a strong sense of reality. Because you see, I don’t think we have a choice. We can sit on the sidelines, we can wring our hands, we can retreat into cynicism, and we know what the results will be: We will cede the field to those whose ideologies are absolutely anathema to people of conscience and faith all over the world. So our positive interdependence, which is a fact, will prepare us to meet these challenges. But they can no longerbe seen just as government-to-government. There is a time and an opportunity, and with the new technologies available, for us to be citizen diplomats, citizen activists, to solve problems one by one that will give in to hard work, patience, and persistence, and will then aggregate to the solutions we seek.我知道，在毕业典礼上作理想化的演说是当前的时尚，[我的讲话]听起来也许很理想化，但我的信念深处有一种强烈的现实感。
因为你们知道，我认为我们别无选择。
我们可以袖手旁观，我们可以束手无策，我们可以采取悲观怀疑的态度，但我们知道这样做会产生什么样的结果：我们会把阵地拱手让给那些其意识形态为世界上所有有良知和信仰者所不齿的人。
因此，我们之间积极的相互依赖——这是一个事实——将使我们为应对这些挑战做好准备。
但这不能再被仅仅视作政府与政府之间的事情。
随着新技术的不断涌现，我们有时间和机会成为公民外交家、公民活动家，通过辛勤工作、耐心和毅力一个一个地解决问题，逐步积累成我们所寻求的解决方案。
Now, I know we cannot send a special envoy to negotiate with a pandemic, or call a summit with carbon dioxide, or sever relations with the global financial crisis. To confront these threats and to seize the opportunities that they also present, we need to build new partnerships from the bottom up, and to use every tool at our disposal. That is the heart of smart power. But smart power requires smart people, people who have gone the distance for their education, who have opened themselves up to this increasingly complex and interconnected world, and this changing global landscape requires us to expand our concept of diplomacy.我知道我们不能派特使与大规模流行的疾病进行谈判，不能与二氧化碳召开高峰会，也不能与全球金融危机断绝关系。
要抗击这些威胁并抓住这些威胁提供的机遇，我们需要自下而上地建立新的伙伴关系，利用手中可以利用的一切手段。
这就是巧实力的实质。
但巧实力来自精明的人，接受过良好教育的人，向日益复杂、相互关联的世界开放的人，而不断变化的全球场景要求我们必须扩大我们的外交概念。
Now, when I was graduating so many years ago, diplomacy was the domain of privileged men working behind closed doors. Today, our diplomats are not limited, and our diplomacy is no longer confined to the State Department or our embassies. We are laying the foundation for 21st century statecraft. Where?
