Lesson 5Speech On Hitler’s Invasion of the U.S.S.R.Speech, address, oration, lecture, talkspeech: a public speech irrespective (without regard) to its quality or its degree of preparation or of the quality of its speaker or audience or of its aim (as to influence, instruct, or entertain)address: It implies formality and usually careful preparation, and often connotes distinction in the speaker or gives emphasis to the importance of the speech.The president is scheduled to deliver three addresses on his trip.oration: formal and solemn public speech. It suggests eloquence, rhetorical style, and usu. a dignified but sometimes high-flown or long-winded appeal to the emotions of a large audience or assembly.lecture: It often implies reading. It commonly designates a carefully prepared speech on a special topic intended to give information and instruction to a group of students. talk: It stresses informality. It may be used to designate either a lecture or an address when the speaker wishes to emphasize his desire to speak directly and simply to his audience as individuals.2. awaken (awakened, awakened)awake (awoke, awoke; awaked, awaked)wake (waked, waked; woke, woken)waken (wakened, wakened)The four words are very similar in usage.

The most common and the least formal is WAKE.b. It may be better to use W AKEN, AW AKEN as transitive verbs. Therefore they are most likely to be used in the passive voice. I was wakened by their shouts.I was awakened by the song of the birds.c. AW AKE and AW AKEN are used somewhat more frequently in a figurative sense.

It stresses one's objective reaction to evidence rather than the objective validity of evidence itself.

Thank You!
I see the German bombers and fighters in the sky, still smarting from many a British whipping, delighted to find what they believe is an easier and a safer prey. (Behind all this glare, behind all this storm) I see that small group of villainous men who plan, organize, and launch this cataract of horrors upon mankind.
I see the Russian soldiers standing on the threshold of their native land, guarding the fields where their fathers have tilled from time immemorial.
Not the whole picture: anti-Communist
Part One
I see the Russian soldiers standing on the threshold of their native land, guarding the fields where their fathers have tilled from time immemorial. I see them guarding their homes where mothers and wives pray for the safety of their loved ones, the return of the bread-winner, of their champion, of their protector. I see the ten thousand villages of Russia where the means of existence is wrung so hardly from the soil, but where there are still primordial human joys, where maidens laugh and children play. I see advancing upon all this in hideous onslaught the Nazi war machine, with its clanking, heel-clicking, dandified Prussian officers, its crafty expert agents fresh from the cowing and tying down of a dozen countries. I see also the dull, drilled, docile, brutish masses of the Hun soldiery plodding on like a swarm of crawling locusts. I see the German bombers and fighters in the sky, still smarting from many a British whipping, delighted to find what they believe is an easier and a safer prey. (Behind all this glare, behind all this storm) I see that small group of villainous men who plan, organize, and launch this cataract of horrors upon mankind.

Omitted.XV.The Nazi regime is the most wicked in the world. Now, it is invading U. S. S. R. , and the Russian soldiers are doing their best to safeguard their country. This is a crucial point. I have to declare the policy we should follow. Our policy is to destroy Hitler and every vestige of the Nazi regime. Therefore, we must make every effort to fight together with those who fight Hitler and his supporters. We must unite all our friends and allies in every part of the world to fight Hitler.Hitler's invasion of Russia is merely a prelude to an invasion of Great Britain, which will lead to his total control over the Western Hemisphere. The Russian danger is therefore our danger, and the danger of the United States. If we don't unite, we'll be struck down one by one. Let us make a joint effort to fight the Nazi German.Lesson6 BLACKMAILI .1)Yes, he did, because he wanted to make them more anxious.2)Because she didn't like her maid and secretary to know what they would talk to the detective.3)Because he thought that he knew their secret and that he was in an advantageous position.4)She found a note made but not destroyed by her husband.5)He found that on the night the couple entered the hotel through the basement instead of the lobby, both very much shaken.6)A brush trace is a mark left on something when lightly touched or rubbed.7)Ogilvie came to talk with them rather than go to report to the police.8)They had to spend one day or two investigating in the suburban areas.9)Because every repair shop had been told to report to the police when a car needing fixing like theirs came in.10)She thought that was safe for them by making use of the detective's avidity.11)Originally, the detective asked for ten thousand only to keep silent and not to report to the police.

Detailed Study of the Text1. the news was brought to me of Hitler's invasion of Russia.1) The "of" phrase modifies the noun "news". It is an adjective phrase.2) News always has the plural form but takes a singular verb.e.g. The news is bad.2. This changed conviction into certainty:1) In the past it was my belief that Hitler would soon attack the SovietUnion; but now it was no longer a belief, it had be come a fact.2) conviction: a very firm and sincere beliefe.g.: 1/ I speak in the full conviction that our cause is just.2/ From the way she spoke, you could tell she was speaking from conviction.Note: Conviction generally implies that a prior doubt existed and now has been removed because one has been convinced or assured of the truth.3. I had not the slightest doubt where our duty and our policy lay:lie: exist, be found, residee.g.: 1) In unity lay strength.2) We know where our problems lie, and we have begun to solvesome of them.3) The bitter experience of the past few years has shown thatprosperity lies in unity and cooperation.4) The next step lies with us.5) In battle, the art of command lies in understanding that no twosituations are ever the same.4. Nor indeed what to say:Nor had I indeed the slightest doubt as to what I was (ought) to say.5. There only remained the task of composing it:1) "It" refers to "What I was to say".2) The only task left was to put what I was going to say into shape; to write down what I was going to say; to work out the statement.6. I asked that notice should be given that I would. ..:1) The "that "clause is an appositive clause.2) give notice: inform (the B. B.C.)7. Presently ...... with detailed news:1) presently: before long, shortly, soon2) hasten: (cause to) move or happen faster, connoting urgency orsometimes a sudden and premature resultExamples:1/ The storm's approach hastened our departure.2/ The results of the election hastened his decision.8. had surprised a large portion.1) surprise (v): attack suddenly and without warning; come uponsuddenly or unexpectedly2) grounded (past participle): lying stationary on the airfields3) When the Germans attacked, they took the Russians by surprise and destroyed a high percentage of Soviet airplanes before they could take off.9. and seemed to be driving forward: and seemed to be advancing rapidly,and their attack was fierce10. I suppose they will be rounded up in hordes:1) round u: herd together, collect together (people or animals who arescattered; or who have fled, etc. )2) horde : a large moving crowd or throng3) You can't find the antecedent of "they "in the previous sentence because it is in quotes. "They" means the Red armymen.4)1 think the Red armymen will be surrounded and captured insurprisingly large numbers.11. there was not time to consult the War Cabinet".1) consult: to ask advice of; discuss2) the War Cabinet: On 10 May 1940, Churchill formed a nationalgovernment (coalition government) with him as the Prime Minister and Attlee from the Labor Party as th e Deputy Prime Minister.12. we all felt the same on this issue.1) on the issue of Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union2) we had the same attitude; we shared the same view13. the following account ... may be of interest.1) account:a descriptive report2) (of) interest: quality of exciting or holding one's attention14. Mr. and Mrs. Winant... were stayingMr. and Mrs. Winant ... were visitors (or guests)15. he thought that Hitler was counting on enlisting...1) enlist: win the support of; get the help or services of? obtain (help,sympathy, etc. )1/ Can I enlist your help in collecting money for the people made homeless by the foreign invaders?2/ He tried to enlist their sympathies.2) sympathy: a feeling of approval of or agreement with an idea, acause, etc.3 ) Right Wing: the more conservative or reactionary section of a politicalparty, group, etc.4) Hitler was hoping that if he attacked Russia , he would win in Britainand the U. S. the support of those who were enemies of Communism.16. we should go all out to help Russia.go all out to: make one's utmost effort17. the same would be true of the U. S.A.1) true of: t r ue concerning; true as regards2) the United States would do the same; adopt the same attitude; thiswould also be the attitude of the U.S.18. he reverted to this theme1) revert: go back to a former subject; talk about again2) "This theme" refers to the subject they. had been talking about duringdinner, namely Hitler's im m inent attack and their stand.19. I asked whether for him, the arch anti-Communist, this was not bowingdown in the House of Rimmon:1) a metaphor and a biblical allusion (see Note 10 to the text)2) whether he was not renouncing his previous attitude towardscommunism; whether he was not changing his position since he had all along been opposed to communism.20. my life is much simplified thereby: In this way, my life is made much easier; in this way, it will be much easier for me to decide on my attitude towards events.Thereby: by that means, as result of that21. If Hitler invaded Hell I would make. ..1) If Hitler should attack Hell, a most hated place, I would still say aword in favor of the Devil, the foe of mankind, in the House ofCommons; I would say a word in favor of anyone who is attacked by Hitler, no matter how bad, how wicked or evil he had been in the past.2) reference: an individual allusion or direction of the attentionExamples:1/ They never made any reference to their need for technology from the oil companies.2/ In his address to the combined Assembly, Sadat made veiled references to the Soviet Union and said, "The days of dependenceare over".22. to the effect: having that result or implication; with ... general meaning23. except for:1) apart from, e.g.1/ Except for an old lady, the bus was empty.2/ I know nothing about hi m except for the fact that he lives next door.3/ He answered all the questions except for the last one.2) but for; if it were not for? without, e.g.1/ Except for you, I should be dead by now.2/ She would not leave the place except for the children.24. he devoted the whole day to it; "It" refers to "the speech".25. The Nazi regime is devoid of all theme and principle except appetite andracial domination;1) devoid ( of): completely without; destitute or empty of2) theme: a recurring, unifying subject or idea3) appetite: very strong desire; an intense and prolonged desire4) The Nazi state does not have any ideal or guiding principle at all. All ithas is a strong desire for conquest and rule by the "Aryan" race, the allegedly most superior race in the world.26. It excels all forms ...:1) The Nazi regime is very cruel and it invades other countries in a mostsavage way. It can carry out its cruel invasions so effectively that itbeats (surpasses) any action of this kind in human history; the Nazi regime is very effective in cruel suppression of and savage attack on other countries; in this respect it is worse than any other known form of evil.2) excel: to be better than;3) efficiency: The Nazis ran the war like a successful big business; e.g.they kept full records and documentation of all their atrocities. Gaschambers are excellent examples of efficient and inexpensive mass killing.27. No one has been . . .1) consistent<, /I>: marked by steady continuity throughout; showing nosignificant change or contradiction; continually keeping to the same principles2) For the past twenty-five years I have always been the firmestopponent of communism and have never changed my position.3) no ... to be more . . . than: e.g.No American of his time was more national in his interest or universal in his friendship than was Roosevelt.28. I will unsay . . .:1) 1 will not take back a single word of what I have said aboutcommunism.2) unsay: take back or retract (what has been said); withdraw or disavow(a statement, a promise)The author makes it very clear here that he remains an anti-communist politician and he feels no twinge of conscience for what he had said about communism. This positive, unyielding statement makes thecontrast brought about in the following sentence more striking.29. But all this fades away . . . :1) "All this" refers to communism and his opposition to communism.2) But compared to the painful sight that is now opening out to ourview, all the evils of communism and my opposition to communism become insignificant. The evils of communism mean nothing ascompared with the crimes committed by Nazi Germany on Sovietsoil. So I shall bury past differences.3) unfold: become clear, more fully known4) spectacle: Here it means a deplorable, painful sight.30. The past . . . :1) flash ( away): pass swiftly and suddenly to move quickly out ofsight2) Let' s forget the past: the crimes the communist regime committed,the foolish things it did (e.g., the Non-aggression Pact) and thetragic suffering of its people31. which their fathers . ..:1) Fathers: refers to forefathers, ancestors.2) immemorial: extending back beyond memory; ancient3) on which their ancestors have worked from ancient times for thereare times.32. ah, yes, for there are times: There are times when everyone, without exception, will pray. Even the Russians will pray. Sometimes, at critical moments, everyone—even communists—turn to prayer.32’. Prussian officers: Before German Unification, there were more than 30 states among which Prussia and Austria were the largest. In 1871, the then Chancellor of the North German Confederation, Otto Von Bismarck, brought all these states into unified nation called the “German Empire”. Bismarck became the first Chancellor of the German Empire and held the position until March 20, 1890. He was also remembered in Germanhis tory as “the iron Chancellor”.33. its crafty expert agents. . .1) fresh: recently returnedtie down:(obsolete) reduce to bondage2) the S. S agents who specialize in genocide and who have justaccomplished the task of crushing and enslaving a dozen countries (Hitler assigned a unit of S. S. men to every army unit, with express orders to annihilate a large portion of the population.)34. I see also the dull. . . :l) The German soldiers are stupid, obedient, easy to manage, savage.They move on in massive formation from one place to another, sowing destruction and death, just like a large crowd of moving locusts, eating up everything in the fields.2) Churchill uses an apt simile, comparing the German soldiers to locustsbecause they have one thing in common--the spreading of destruction.35. still smarting . . .:1) smart:feel pain and resentment2) whipping: (informal) defeat3) The Luftwaffe (the Nazi air force) has suffered severe losses in theaerial Battle of England. Now they feel happy because they think they can easily beat the Russian air force without heavy loss.36. behind all this glare ...1) glare: a rather vague term, referring perhaps to “hostile, fierce looks”or “hatred”2) storm: fighting, war3) launch this cataract of horrors: start this flood of horrors4) Behind all this hostility and fighting I see that small group of wickedmen who make the world suffer untold miseries and unparalleleddisasters.37. I feel sure …:1) I am sure that our Dominions will agree with us in proper time.2) in due course: at the right time ; due: suitable, fitting, proper38. We are resolved . . .:1) be resolved: be firm and fixed in purpose2) vestige: a trace, mark, or sign of sth that once existed but has passedaway or disappeared39. From this…:1) Inversion: repetition for emphasis2) There is nothing which can divert our attention40. It follows therefore...:follow: happen as a necessary result of, e.g.:1) Disease often follows war.2) Just because he is at the bottom of the class, it doesn't follow that hehas no brains; he may just be lazy.3) That conclusion by no means follows.4) If one writes poetry, it naturally follows that he must understandpoetry.41. to take the same course…: to adopt the same attitude and policy andkeep to it42. without distinction of race, creed, or party: no matter what yournationality is, what religious belief you have or what political party you belong to; paying no attention to any difference in nationality, religious belief, or party affiliation43. It is not for me to speak of the action of the United States: I am not ina position to say what action the United States should take.44. if Hitler imagines ...... woefully mistaken:1) Hitler will realize that he is deplorably wrong in thinking that since heis fighting Communism, the west will stand by and let him destroy the Soviet Union and will not fight him as hard as they are now doing;Hitler may think that since he is fighting the Soviet Union which thewest opposed in the past, the West will not be so determined infighting and destroying Nazi Germany. If he had that assumption inmind when he attacked the Soviet Union, he will find that he isdeplorably wrong and will have to pay for it.2) divergence: the action of going out in different directionsslacken: reduce in activity, force, etc.44. On the contrary . . . from his tyranny:1) fortify: impart vigor or physical strength or endurance to;strengthen mentally or morally2) No, we will not do that (diverge in our aims or slacken our efforts).Instead, we will fight with greater courage and redouble our efforts in the struggle to end fascism.45. We shall be strengthened ... in resources:1) resources: (pl.) available money or property; wealth; sth that a country,state, etc. has and can use to its advantage2) We shall be more determined and shall make better and fuller use ofour resources. We shall not relax our efforts; we shall bring ourresources into fuller play.46. this is no time . . .:1) What we need now is not tedious explanation of how foolish thosecountries and governments were in letting themselves be overrun by Germany one by one without forming a united front to fight Germany.If they had fought in a unified way, they might have saved themselves and therefore saved the world.2) moralize: (usu, derog. ) express one's thoughts on the wrongness of;indulge in moral reflection or talk (on a subject)47. When I spoke . . .: When I mentioned Hitler' s insatiable desire forconquest which has driven him to attack Russia, I said there wasanother and more important reason for his adventure.48. He wishes ... of his crimes:1) The main reason is he wants to destroy Russia so that he can crushBritain.2) suffer the penalty of his crimes: be destroyed for the crimes he (Hitler)has committed49. His invasion ... of the British Isles; His invasion of Russia will pave theway for his planned invasion of the British Isles.50. He hopes . . . winter comes: obviously he hopes that he can bring hisRussian campaign to a successful end before winter sets in.51. he can overwhelm Great Britain . . . : He can crush, conquer Britainbefore the U.S. can come to her help.52. by which he has so long thrived and prospered: He has so far been verysuccessful in employing this tactic.53. the scene will be clear for the final act . . . :1) The final act refers to the defeat and conquest of all the countries inthe Western Hemisphere.2) the scene will be clear . . . : the stage will be re ady for the final act3) Then there will be nothing to prevent Hitler from conquering all thecountries in the Western Hemisphere, which he must do if he wants to bring the whole world under his control.54. hearth and home: (poetic) home and its comforts55. in every quarter of the globe: in every part of the world56. Let us learn…:1) "lessons" and "cruel experience": Here it refers to "United we stand,divided we fall. "2) We should bear in mind the fact that Hitler had been successfulbecause many European governments had allowed themselves to bestruck down one by one. This time we should all support the Soviet Union and shouldn't let Hitler repeat his tactics.57. Let us redouble . . remain: Let us strengthen our unity and our efforts inthe fight against Nazi Germany when we have not yet been overwhelmed and when we are still powerful.III. Review of the rhetorical devices used by Churchill in this speech1) Periodic sentencePeriodic sentences achieve forcefulness by suspense. The essential elements in the sentence are withheld until the end. E.g.:a) The past, with its crimes, its follies, and its tragedies, flashes away.b) Any man or state who fights on against Nazidom will have our aid.c) If Hitler imagines that his attack on Soviet Russia ...... he is woefully mistaken.2) Rhetorical question (or interrogation)Interrogation asks a question not in order to obtain an answer, but for the purpose of making an assertion in a striking and lively way. e.g. ... but can you doubt what our policy will be?3) Parallel structure: using the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance. This can happen at the word, phrase, or clause level. The usual way to join parallel structures is with the use of coordinating conjunctions such as "and" or "or."a)We will never parleyWe will never negotiate with Hitler or any of his gangb) we shall fight him by landwe shall fight him by seawe shall fight him in the airc) behind all this glarebehind all this storm I see ......d) I see the Russian soldiers standing . . .I see them guarding . . .I see the ten thousand villagesI see advancing upon . . .I see also the dull ...I see the German bombers . . .I see that small group ...e) that is our policyand that is our declarationf) We shall be fortified and encouraged in our efforts.We shall be strengthened and not weakened in determination andresources.g) Let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience.Let us redouble our exertions . . .4) Inversion: The change of the normal word order, such as the substitutionof a V. before its subject. It’s used for emphasis.From this nothing will turn us —nothing.but this I will say5) Repetition: the repeated use of the same synonymous words, to addforce, clearness or balance to a sentence, e.g.:We have but one aim and one single, irrevocable purpose.He has so long thrived and prospered.We will never parley, we will never negotiate . . .。

speech on hitler's invasion of the u.s.s.r翻译
speech on hitler's invasion of the u.s.s.r翻译2 今晚，我要借此机会向大家发表演说，因为我们已经来到了战争的关键时刻。
今天凌晨4时，希特勒已进攻并入侵俄国。
既没有宣战，也没有最后通牒，但德国炸弹却突然在俄国城市上空象雨点般地落下，德国军队大举侵犯俄国边界。
一小时后，德国大使拜见俄国外交部长，称两国已处于战争状态。
但正是这位大使，昨夜却喋喋不休地向俄国人保证，德国是朋友，而且几乎是盟友。
希特勒是个十恶不赦、杀人如麻、欲望难填的魔鬼，而纳粹制度除了贪得无厌和种族统治外，别无主旨和原则。
它横暴凶悍，野蛮侵略，为人类一切形式的卑劣行径所不及。
它的残酷行为和凶暴侵略所造成的恶果超过了各式各样的人类罪行。
在过去二十五年中，没有一个人像我这样始终一贯地反对共产主义。
我并不想收回我说过的话。
但是，这一切，在正在我们眼前展现的情景对照之下，都已黯然失色了。
过去的一切，连同它的罪恶，它的愚蠢和悲剧，都一闪而逝了。
我看见俄国士兵站在祖国的大门口，守卫着他们的祖先自远古以来劳作的土地。
我看见他们守卫着自己的家园，他们的母亲和妻子在祈祷——呵，是的，有时人人都要祈祷，祝愿亲人平安，祝愿他们的赡养者、战斗者和保护者回归。
我看到俄国上万的村庄，那里穿衣吃饭都依靠土地，生活虽然十分艰辛，那儿依然有着人类的基本乐趣，少女在欢笑，儿童在玩耍。
我看见纳粹的战争机器向他们碾压过去，穷凶极恶地展开了屠杀。
我看见全副戎装，佩剑、马刀和鞋钉叮当作响的普鲁士军官，以及刚刚威吓、压制过十多个国家的、好诈无比的特工高手。
我还看见大批愚笨迟钝，受过训练，唯命是从，凶残暴忍的德国士兵，象一大群爬行的蝗虫正在蹒跚行进。
我看见德国轰炸机和战斗机在天空盘旋，它们依然因英国人的多次鞭挞而心有余悸，却在为找到一个自以为唾手可得的猎物而得意忘形。
在这番嚣张气焰的背后，在这场突然袭击的背后，我看到了那一小撮策划、组织并向人类发动这场恐怖战争的恶棍。
