高级英语第二册第四课 Inaugural Adress by John F. Kennedy 修辞评论680字
南华大学船山学院英语081班石璇20089210113 This a Inaugural Address, made by the 35th president of United States John F.Kennedy on January 20,1961.The object of a political speech is to explain, convince and persuade the people that what he is saying and planning to do best represents their interests so they should support him, and I think in this speech rhetoric mainly contribute to its success. It is highly rhetorical, such as many figures of speech, choice and use of words, effective types of sentence.In this address, many figures of speech are employed. The first one is antithesis,which highlights the key points.For example, "United,there is little we cannot do in a host of co-operative ventures.Divide,there is little we can do,for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder",it emphasizes the president's appealing to uniting together.Besides,this sentense "ask not what your country can do for you,ask what you can do for your country."is often quoted because it represents the enterprising spirit of the Americans.Second, metaphor.Metaphor makes the speech easier understanded and acceptable in a pleased way.For example," those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside",in which riding the back of the tiger comparing to seeking the aid of socialist countries;"to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak",in which the power of UN to protect compared to a shield.Third, parallelism.For example," we shall pay any price, bear any burden,meet any hardship,support any friend,oppse any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty", "Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce,and paragraphs 6,7,8,10,11 begin with the same type of phrases "To those old allies...To those new states...to those peoples...to our sister republics....to that world assembly...to those nations...." and paragraph 16 to18 begin with"let both sides",all of which clearly show the president's stand and the beautiful hope everyone holds so that he can get the support of his people.Fourth,synecdoche.For example,in this sentense "Yet both racing to alter thatuncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war",the hand substitute the power human hands can do.Fifth,repetition.The word "pledge"is emphasized in every paragraph from 5 to 11,pledging according pledge to different groups,"free" and "good" are repeated to highlight human's common desire, and "beyond doubt" is repeated to show the American wouldn't let anything terrible made by the enemy countries happen.The speech is very persuasive due to these important repetition.Sixth,alliteration,such as "friend and foe alike","pay any price,bear any burden", "break the bonds of mass misery"makes the speech more catchy and rhymed.In addition ,there are many examples to show that Kennedy is very particular and careful in his choice of and use of words.For instance,in the sentence "to our sister republics south of our border ,we offer a special pledge,"the word"sister"is particularly chosen to connote equality and mutual good relations in his attempt to allay the traditional fears these countries have of their powerful big brother in the north.And in the sentence"Finally,to those nations who would make themselves our adversary,we offer not a pledge but a request",the phrase"would make themselves our adversary"is again cleverly chosen to throw the blame for confrontation and world tension on the other party.It suggests that the United States has done nothing to create enemies.It is the other side that is challenging the U.S.,and the latter is forced to take the challenge although it really wants peace.Furthermore,the variant types of sentence are employed.It is obviously that many of the sentences are very long,even a paragraph is consisted of a long sentence,but the longer the sentence is,the more information and more power the sentence contains.They also add salutation and decency.Besides,complex-compound sentences such as attributive clause,adverbial clause,inverted sentence are mostly used.In addition,imperative sentences not only arouse people's passion,but also of great st,the biblical style sentence,such as"Let the word go forth from this time and place,to friend and foe alike,that the torch ....","with a good conscience our only sure reward,with history..."make the speech more solemn and powerful.Rhetoric really does god job.。
inaugural address课文总结
inaugural address课文总结美国总统肯尼迪的就职演说辞沿袭古希腊,罗马的修辞及文风精心选用语言句式,注意音韵效果,字字句句经过刻意雕琢。
一、Aliteration是一种常见的反复类音韵修辞格,恰当使用Alliteration 能赋予语言以音韵美和节奏美,起到演染气氛烘托感情加强语言表现力等效果,如:Let the word go forth.... .that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans." In order to assure the surival and the success of liberty.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.... both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom二、UnderstatementUnderstatement的修辞功能在肯尼迪这篇演说辞中"首先体现在它是一种政界辞令"整篇文章'没有直截了当地对国际形势进行分析"更没有一处提到一个国家的名字或具体事例"一切都隐晦委婉模糊不清"例如1.We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. (我们不敢以怯弱来引诱他们因为只有当我们无疑问地拥有足够的军事装备时我们才能真正有把握地确信永远不会使用武力)一场规模空前的军备竞赛的动因被说成了We dare not tempt them with weakness. Understatement的运用变主动为被动变张牙舞爪为委曲求全2. United there is ltte we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is ltte we can do for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. para6(团结,将使我们在许多合作事业中无往而不胜,分裂,我们将一事无成)三、parllelism(平行结构)parllelism是将结构相同或相似,意义并重语气-致的语言成分、短语、句子乃至语段等并行排列的一种修辞手法,这种辞格可以使语言简洁明了,结构精致对称,声调铿锵有力、叙事生动逼真语意鲜明突出。

Inaugural Address(January 20, 1961)John F. Kennedy1 We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an endas well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before youand Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century andthree-quarters ago.2 The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power toabolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand ofGod.3 We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed toa new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit theslow undoing of these human rights to which this nation has always been committed, andto which we are committed today at home and around the world.4 Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or i11, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.5 This much we pledge--and more.6 To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge theloyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of co-operative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do, for we dare not meet a powerful challenge atodds and split asunder.7 To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our wordthat one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom, and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.8 To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the forthemselves, help them help to efforts best our pledge we misery, mass of bondswhatever period is required, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who arepoor, it cannot save the few who are rich.9 To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and freegovernments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall joinwith them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let everyother power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.10 To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hopein an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support: to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective, tostrengthen its shield of the new and the weak, and to enlarge the area in which its writ mayrun.11 Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not apledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidentalself-destruction.12 We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.13 But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course--both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertainbalance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.14 So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, butlet us never fear to negotiate.15 Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring thoseproblems which divide us.16 Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms and bring the absolute power to destroy other nationsunder the absolute control of all nations.17 Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the oceandepths and encourage the arts and commerce.18 Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah to%undo the heavy burdens...(and) let the oppressed go free.19 And if a beachhead of co-operation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law,where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.20 All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished inthe first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.21 In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americanswho answered the call to service surround the globe.22 Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out,ejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, astruggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.23 Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in the historic effort?24 In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.25 And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.26 My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.27 Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forthto lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.(from A Treasury of the World's Great Speeches, 1965)NOTES1. inaugural address: since 1937, Inauguration Day has been changed to Jan. 20.

英语演讲稿:InauguralAddressLadies and gentlemen,Thank you for being here today as I stand before you to deliver my inaugural address. This is a significant moment in my life, as it marks the beginning of a new chapter not only for me, but for all of us.First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to the citizens who have entrusted me with the responsibility of leading our great nation. It is an honor that I do not take lightly, and I pledge to dedicate myself wholly to the betterment of our society.Today, we stand at a crossroads. Our world is changing at an unprecedented pace, and we face numerous challenges that require bold and decisive action. We must address issues such as climate change, income inequality, and social injustice head-on. We cannot afford to shy away from these problems any longer.In order to tackle these challenges, we must unite as a nation. Despite our differences, we must remember that at our core, we are all Americans. We may have different beliefs, backgrounds, and perspectives, but we must find common ground and work together towards our shared goals.I believe that America is at its best when we come together in times of adversity. We have a long history of overcoming challenges, and I have no doubt that we can do so again. It is in our collective strength that we will find the solutions to the problems that confront us.Furthermore, we must strive to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for the world. The United States has always been a symbol of freedom and democracy, and we must continue to uphold these values.

肯尼迪就职演说分析
肯尼迪就职演说分析篇一:肯尼迪就职演说评析美国第三十五任总统JohnFitzgeraldFrancisKennedy(1917-1963)约翰.弗.肯尼迪1961年元月20日在首都华盛顿国会大厦前发表“就职演说”时,我在读初中三年级,学的是俄语。
直到1980年,我才在美国出版的“EnglishForToday”“今日英语”教材的第五册里阅读到了这篇演说,而且还听了这篇演说的实况录音。
现在这篇演说已被一字未删地选入《advancedEnglish》“高级英语”(张汉熙主编,商务印书馆出版发行),《21centurycollegeEnglish》“二十一世纪大学英语”(复旦大学,交通大学主编;高等教育出版社,复旦大学出版社出版发行)英语教材里作为高等院校的英语学习教材。
1980年,那时大学外语教学还是很原始落后的。
我想得到英语版的联合国“人权宣言”,但在当时武汉的中南财经学院图书馆里没有。
找到武汉大学图书馆,那里才只有一本油印的“人权宣言”小册子。
我想得到英文版的“中华人民共和国刑法”这书,武汉的外文书店买不到。
我托原北京地院外语老师去北京外国专家局找有关专家打听此书,专家说,《刑法》英文译文由他翻译,正在他手里,由于没有出版,他不能外借。
肯尼迪“就职演说”是在演说之后十九年被我们看到。
时过境迁,20XX年元月20日,全世界几乎所有的人都能从网上及各种媒体上听到,见到,读到美国第一位黑人总统奥巴马的“就职演说”。
虽然有的人看到的是被有些媒体屏掉了(RecallthatearliergenerationsfaceddownFascismandcommunismnotjust withmissilesandtanksbutwithsturdyalliancesandenduringconvictions.我们在此回忆先辈,他们战胜了法西斯主义和共产主义,靠的不仅是导弹,坦克;更是靠坚定的盟友和不移的信念。
英语演讲稿InauguralAddress英语演讲1
英语演讲稿InauguralAddress英语演讲1Ladies and gentlemen,Thank you all for being here today as we embark on a new chapter in our nation's history. It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you as the newly elected leader of our great country. Today, I would like to share with you my vision for the future and the principles that will guide my administration.First and foremost, I believe in the power of unity. Our nation is made up of diverse individuals with different backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives. However, it is by working together and respecting these differences that we can achieve greatness. Let us remember that we are all Americans, and our shared values and goals are far greater than any differences that may divide us.Secondly, I am committed to promoting equality and justice for all. We must ensure that every individual, regardless of their race, gender, or socioeconomic background, has an equal opportunity to succeed. It is through equal access to quality education, healthcare, and job opportunities that we can create a society that is truly fair and just.Furthermore, I believe in the power of innovation and progress. Our world is rapidly changing, and we must adapt and embrace new technologies and ideas in order to thrive. I will work tirelessly to promote research and development in fields such as renewable energy, healthcare, and artificial intelligence. By investing in innovation, we can create new industries and opportunities for our citizens and remain at the forefront of global leadership.In addition, I am committed to protecting our environment and addressing the urgent issue of climate change. We have seen the devastating effects of extreme weather events and rising sea levels. It is our duty to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to clean and sustainable sources of energy. By doing so, we can leave a better world for future generations.Lastly, I believe in the power of diplomacy and cooperation on the global stage. In an increasingly interconnected world, our actions and decisions have far-reaching consequences. I will work to build strong alliances and foster dialogue and understanding with other nations. By engaging in respectful diplomacy, we can address global challenges such as terrorism, poverty, and nuclear proliferation.In conclusion, my fellow Americans, let us move forward with hope and determination. The challenges we face are great, but I have unwavering faith in the resilience and strength of our nation. Together, we can build a brighter future for all, and fulfill the promises of our great nation.Thank you, and God bless America.。

Inaugural Address(January 20, 1961)John F. Kennedy1 Weobserve today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well asa beginning, signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oathour forebears prescribednearly a century and three-quarters ago.2 The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the powerto abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.3 We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Letthe word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torchhas been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoingof these human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.4 Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.5 This much we pledge--and more.6 To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a hostof co-operative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do, for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at oddsand split asunder.7 To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find themsupporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom, and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.8 To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them helpthemselves, for whatever period is required, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.9 To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliancefor progress, to assistfree menand free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the preyof hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversionanywherejn the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.10 To that world assembly of sovereignstates, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments ofpeace, we renew our pledge of support: to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective,to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak, and to enlarge the area in which its writmay run.11 Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, beforethe dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulfall humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.12 We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.13 But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course--both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, bothrightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alterthat uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.14 So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civilityis not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject toproof.Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.15 Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboringthose problems which divide us.16 Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.17 Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let usexplore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tapthe ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.18 Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiahto "undo the heavy burdens...(and) let the oppressed go free".19 And if a beachheadof co-operation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, buta new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.20 All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will itbe finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.21 In your hands, myfellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation ofAmericans has been summoned to give testimonyto its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.22 Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear theburden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patientin tribulation,"a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.23 Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a morefruitful life for all mankind? Willyou join in the historic effort?24 In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.25 And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.26 My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.27 Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscienceour only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.(from A Treasury of the World's Great Speeches, 1965) NOTES1. inaugural address: since 1937, Inauguration Day has been changed to Jan. 20.On this day every four years the newly elected president of the United States faces the people for the first time, takes the presidential oath of office and delivers his inaugural address.2. solemn oath: the presidential oath, traditionally administered by the Chief Justice, is prescribed in Article II, section 1 of the Constitution of the United States. The oath runsas follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the UnitedStates, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."3. The belief that the rights of man.., hand of God: refers to a passage in the American Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident,that all menare created equal, that they are endowedby their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that amongthese are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "4. commandf Isaiah: one of the greatest Hebrew prophets whosewritings are extant (late 8th century B. C. ) ; venerated by rabbis as 2nd only to Moses. The Book ofIsaiah, a book in the Old Testament of the Bible of the Christian, is believed tobe a work of two authors of different periods; chapters 1--39 relate to the history of the Israelites; chapters 40--66 foretell the coming of the Messiah. The quotation in the text is taken from chapter 58, verse 6: "Is not this the fast that I havechosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"教学教案背景知识课文详解文章结构修辞学习课文录像课文录音词汇短语词汇(Vocabulary)inaugural (adj.) : of an inauguration 就职(典*L)的——signify (v.) : be a sign or indication of ; mean表明;意味——almighty (adj.) : having unlimited power ; all — powerful 有无限权力的;全能的——forebear (n.) : an ancester 祖先,祖宗——prescribe (v.) : set down as a rule or direction ;order ;ordain ;direct 命令;指示;规定,订立——generosity (n.) : the quality of being generous 慷慨;宽宏大量——heir (n.) : person who appears to get some trait from a predecessor or seems to carry on in histradition 继承者;后嗣——foe (n.) : enemy ; opponent 敌人undoing (n.) : the act of bringing to ruin ,disgrace , ordestruction 毁灭;破坏at odds : in disagreement ;quarreling 意见不一致;有争执asunder (adv.) : into parts or pieces 分成碎片;分散prey (n.) : a person or thing that falls victim to someone or something牺牲品; 掠夺品subversion (n.) : a subverting or being subverted ruin颠覆(活动);破坏sovereign (adj.) : independent of all others 独立自主的outpace (v.) : surpass ; exceed 在速度上超过;胜过invective (n.) : a violent verbal attack . strong criticism , insults, curses, etc.;vituperation 抨击;辱骂,谩骂shield (n.) : any person or thing that guards , protects , or defends; protection保护人;防护物;保护writ (n.) : a formal legal document ordering or prohibiting some action 命令;律令;文书;传票adversary (n.) : a person who opposes or fights against another; opponent ; enemy 对手,反对者;敌手,敌方anew (adv.) : again 重新,再unleash (v.) : release from or as from a leash( 解开皮带以)释放heed (v.) : pay close attention to ;take careful notice of 注意,留神,留心beachhead (n.) : a position established by invading troops on an enemy shore ; aposition gained as a secare starting point for any action ;foothold 滩头堡,登陆场;立足点endeavor (n.) : an earnest attempt or effort 努力, 尽力testimony (n.) : any form of evidence , indication. etc. ;proof 证明,证据embattle (v.):[ 常用于被动语态 ]prepare , array , or set in line for battle 使准备战斗,使严阵以待tribulation (n.) : great misery or distress, as from oppression 难;困苦;忧伤;deep sorrow 古forge (v.) : move forward steadily , as if against difficulties; form 乎迎着困难)稳步前进;形成;结成;produce(似alliance (n.) : a close association for a commonobjective as of nations , political parties , etc .联盟,联合,同盟engulf (v.) : swallow up ; overwhelm 吞没,淹没,压倒civility (n.) : politeness . esp. in a merely formal way 貌,客气belabor (v.) : talk about at unnecessary length 唠唠叨叨地反复讲formulate (v.) : put together and express (a theory 系统地阐述(或提出)(理论、计划等)tap (v.) : draw upon ; make use of 开发、发掘plan ,etc.)a systematic way短语(Expressions)at issue : in dispute ; to be decided ; at variance ; in disagreement 意见不一致例: What is at issue is the extent to which exam results reflect a student 's ability. 意见的分歧之处在于考试对于学生能力的影响程度。
