希拉里1995年女权演讲中英对照

1.Women's Rights Are Human RightsThank you very much, Gertrude Mongella, for your dedicated work that has brought us to this point, distinguished delegates, and guests.I would like to thank the Secretary General for inviting me to be part of this important United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women. This is truly a celebration, a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in the community, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens, and leaders.It is also a coming together, much the way women come together every day in every country. We come together in fields and factories, in village markets and supermarkets, in living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concern. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families. However different we may appear, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We share a common future, and we are here to find common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world, and in so doing bring new strength and stability to families as well.1. 妇女的权利就是人权[1995年9月5日,希拉里作为美国第一夫人参加在北京举行的联合国第四次妇女大会全体会议,发表这篇主张“人权就是妇女的权利,妇女的权利就是人权”的演讲。

转身的优雅希拉里退选演讲

Hi l l ar y Speak s i n Was hi ngt on, DC June 7转身的优雅——希拉里退选演讲(英文全稿)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 say ing how grateful I am to all of you - to every one who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemadesigns, 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 b oys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears, “See, you can be anything you want to be. ”To the young people like 13 year-old Ann Riddle from Mayfield, Ohio who had been saving for two years to go to Disney World, and decided to use her savings instead to travel to Pennsylvania with her Momand volunteer there as well. To the veterans and the childhood friends, to New Yorkers and Arkansans who traveled across the country and telling anyone who would listen why you supported me.To all those women in their 80s and their 90s born before womencould vote who cast their votes for our campaign. I 've told you before about Florence Steen of South Dakota, who was 88 years old, and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside. Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot. She passed away soon after, and under state law, her ballot didn 't count. But her daughter later told a reporter, “My dad's an ornery old cowboy, and he didn 't like it when he heard mom 's vote wouldn 't be counted. I don 't think he had voted in 20 years. But he voted in place of mymom”.To all those who voted for me, and to whom I pledged my utmost, my commitment to you and to the progress we seek is unyielding. You have inspired and touched mewith the stories of the joys and sorrows that make up the fabric of our lives and you have humbled me with your commitment to our country.18 million of you from all walks of life - women and men, young and old, Latinoand Asian, African-American and Caucasian, rich, poor and middle class, gay and straight - you have stood strong with me. And I will continue to stand strong with you, every time, every place, and every way that I can. The dreams we share are worth fighting for.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 forthe womanwho grabbed my hand, and asked me, “What are you going to do to make sure I hav e health care? ” and began to cry because even though she works three jobs, she can't afford insurance. Wefought for the young man in the Marine Corps t-shirt who waited months for medical care and said, “Take care of my buddies over thereand then, will y ou 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 opport unity and bless ing in my own life - and I want the same for all America ns.Un til that day comes, you will always find me on the fron t li nes of democracy —fighting for the future.The way to con ti nue our fight now —to accomplish the goals for which we sta nd —is to take our energy, our passion, our strength and do all we can to help electBarack Obama the next President of the United States.Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him, and throw my full support behind him. And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obamaas you have for me.I have served in the Senate with him for four years. I have been in this campaign with him for 16 months. I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates. I have had a front row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit.In his own life, Barack Obamahas lived the American Dream. As a community organizer, in the state senate, as a United States Senator - he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized. And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future.Nowwhen I started this race, I intended to win back the White House, and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity, and progress. And that's exactly what we're going to do by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on January 20, 2009.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 may have started on separate journeys - but today, our paths have merged. Andwe are all heading toward the same destination, united and more ready than ever to win in November and to turn our country around because so much is at stake.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 is broadly distributed and shared.We all want a health care system that is universal, high quality, and affordableso 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 anissue for me —it is a passi on and a cause —and it is a fight I will continueun til every sin gle America n is in sured —no excepti ons, no excuses.Weall 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 to providinghelp for the most important job there is: caring for our families.Weall 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 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 muchwe could've achieved if we had just had a Democrat in the White House. Wecannot let this moment slip away. Wehave 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 'stoo hard. That we're just not up to the task. But for as long as America has existed, it has been the Amer ican way to reject “can't do ” claims, and to choose insteadto 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.Together we will work. We 'll have to work hard to get universal health care. Buton 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 helpelect Barack Obama our President.We'll have to work hard to get back to fiscal responsibility and a strong middle class. But on the day we live in an America whose middle class is thriving and growing again, where all Americans, no matter where they live or where their ancestors came from, can earn a decent living, we will live in a stronger America and that is why we must elect Barack Obama our President.We'll have to work hard to foster the innovation that makes us energy independent and lift the threat of global warming from our children 's future. But on the daywe live in an America fueled by renewable energy, we will live in a stronger America. That's why we have to help elect Barack Obama our President.We'll have to work hard to bring our troops home from Iraq, and get them the support they 've earned by their service. But on the day we live in an America that 's asloyal to our troops as they have been to us, we will live in a stronger America andthat is why we must help elect Barack Obama our President.This election is a turning point election and it is critical that we all understandwhat our choice really is. Will we go forward together or will we stall and slipbackwards. Think how much progress we have already made. When we first started, peopleeverywhere 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. Together Senator Obama and I achieved milestones essential to our progress as a nation, part of our perpetual duty to form a more perfect union.Now, on a personal note - when I was asked what it means to be a woman running for President, I always gave the same answer: that I was proud to be running as a woman but I was running because I thought I 'd be the best President. But I am a woman,and like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases out there, often unconscious.I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of.I ran as a mother who worries about my daughter 's future and a mother who wants to lead all children to brighter tomorrows. To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.Let us resolve and work toward achieving some very simple propositions: There are no acceptable limits and there are no acceptable prejudices in the twenty-first century.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 womancan be the President of the United States. And that is truly remarkable.To those who are disappo in ted that we could n ' t go all the way - especially theyoung people who put so much into this campaig n - it would break my heart if, i nfalling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. Whenyou' re knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you can ' t or shouldn ' t go on.As we gather here today in this historic magnificent building, the 50th woman toleave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 womeninto space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.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 womencould 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 womencould 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 Obamaand 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.Whenthat day arrives and a womantakes 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 momentwasted 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. 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 stageof my life —your love and ongoing commitme nts susta in me every si ngle 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. Wewill 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 andkeep on going. I ' m going to keep doing what I was doing long b efore the camerasever showed up and what I ' ll be doing long after they ' re gone: Working to giveevery 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 forour country —and with nothing but optimism and con fide nee 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.。

希拉里演讲全文

希拉里演讲全文

Thank you all. Thank you so much. You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House?I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world. And during our time in the Wh ite House, we’ve had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington.When they set off for their first day at their new school, I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUV s with all those big men with guns.And I saw their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, what have we done?See, because at that moment I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith. How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country. How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models. And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school. Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours?And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we’re deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right. No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.That’s right.See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they’ll ever afford college, kids whose parents don’t speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the S enate.And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned. Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments. So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs. But here’s the thing. What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure. She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out. You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase fame and fortune fo r ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.And we give back even when we’re struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off. And there but for the grace of God go I.I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, apresident who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.And when crisis hits, we don’t turn against each other. No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be. And that’s why in this election I’m with her.You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids. That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep passing down those blessings of liberty, police officers and the protesters in Dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe. People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.Leaders like Tim Kaine who show our kids what decency and devotion look like. Leaders like Hillary Clinton who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her.That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.So, look, so don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country isn’t great, that somehow we need to make it great again. Because this right now is the greatest country on earth!And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls’ promise and all our kids’ promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.So in this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best. We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical. No, hear me. Between now andNovember, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!So let’s get to work. Thank you all and God bless.Thank you all. Thank you so much. You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.谢谢各位,谢谢。

英文发言稿希拉里

英文发言稿希拉里Ladies and gentlemen,Thank you for joining me today. It is an honor to address you all, and I am grateful for this opportunity to share my thoughts and visions with you.Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge the great privilege it is to stand before you not only as an individual, but as a representative of a larger movement. I am grateful for the support and trust that I have received from so many people who believe in the power of progress, and who share my commitment to building a brighter future for all.Today, I would like to discuss some of the key issues that our world is facing, and outline my ideas on how we can come together to address these challenges.One area that I believe deserves our attention is the issue of inequality. Inequality is not only a moral issue, but also an economic one. When a significant portion of our population is denied equal opportunities and access to resources, it hampers our collective progress and stifles innovation. It is imperative that we take steps to bridge the widening gap between the rich and the poor. Education is one of the most effective tools we have to combat inequality. By investing in quality education for all, we empower individuals and give them the means to realize their full potential. We must strive to ensure that every child, regardless of their socioeconomic background, has access to a high-quality educationthat prepares them for success. This includes equitable funding for schools in disadvantaged areas, as well as robust support systems for students who face additional challenges.Another pressing issue that we must confront is the environment and climate change. Our planet is facing a crisis, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer. The evidence is clear - our actions are contributing to rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and the destruction of vital ecosystems. We need to transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon economy, and invest in renewable energy sources. By doing so, we not only protect our environment, but also create new jobs and economic opportunities.In addition to these global challenges, we must also address the issues that specifically affect women and girls. Gender equality is not only a matter of fairness, but also a matter of progress. When we empower women and girls, we unlock their potential and create a more inclusive society for all. This includes fighting for equal pay, ensuring access to reproductive healthcare, and combating gender-based violence.Furthermore, it is imperative that we continue to strengthen our alliances and foster cooperation between nations. We live in an increasingly interconnected world, and the challenges we face - whether it be terrorism, economic instability, or pandemics - require global solutions. This means rejecting isolationism and nationalism, and instead embracing diplomacy, collaboration, and multilateralism.I recognize that these issues cannot be solved overnight, and thatprogress will require patience, perseverance, and collaboration. However, I am confident that by working together, we can achieve meaningful change.I believe that we are at a pivotal moment in history - a moment that calls for bold leadership and decisive action. As we face these challenges, let us not lose sight of our shared humanity and the values that bind us together. Let us remember that we are all interconnected, and that our actions have far-reaching consequences.In conclusion, I am here today to ask for your support. I am here to ask for your trust as we navigate these turbulent times, and to pledge my unwavering commitment to the values and principles that define our great nation.Together, let us build a world that is fair, just, and prosperous for all. Thank you.。

转身的优雅——希拉里退选演讲english

Hillary Speaks in Washington, DC June 7转身的优雅——希拉里退选演讲(英文全稿)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 b oys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears, “See, you can be anything you want to be.”To the young people like 13 year-old Ann Riddle from Mayfield, Ohio who had been saving for two years to go to Disney World, and decided to use her savings instead to travel to Pennsylvania with her Mom and volunteer there as well. To the veterans and the childhood friends, to New Yorkers and Arkansans who traveled across the country and telling anyone who would listen why you supported me.To all those women in their 80s and their 90s born before women could vote who cast their votes for our campaign. I’ve told you before about Florence Steen of South Dakota, who was 88 years old, and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside. Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot. She passed away soon after, and under state law, her ballot didn’t count. But her daughter later told a reporter, “My dad’s an ornery old cowboy, and he didn’t like it when he heard mom’s vote wouldn’t be counted. I don’t think he had voted in 20 years. But he voted in place of my mom.”To all those who voted for me, and to whom I pledged my utmost, my commitment to you and to the progress we seek is unyielding. You have inspired and touched me with the stories of the joys and sorrows that make up the fabric of our lives and you have humbled me with your commitment to our country.18 million of you from all walks of life – women and men, young and old, Latino and Asian, African-American and Caucasian, rich, poor and middle class, gay and straight – you have stood strong with me. And I will continue to stand strong with you, every time, every place, and every way that I can. The dreams we share are worth fighting for. 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 hav e 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 buddies 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 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.Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him, and throw my full support behind him. And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.I have served in the Senate with him for four years. I have been in this campaign with him for 16 months. I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates. I have had a front row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit.In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American Dream. As a community organizer, in the state senate, as a United States Senator - he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized. And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future.Now when I started this race, I intended to win back the White House, and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity, and progress. And that's exactly what we're going to do by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on January 20, 2009.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 may have started on separate journeys – but today, our paths have merged. And we are all heading toward the same destination, united and more ready than ever to win in November and to turn our country around because so much is at stake.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 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 wo men’s rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization 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 to terrorism and global warming.You know, I’ve been involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades. Duri ng 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 Amer ican 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.Together we will work. We’ll have to work hard to get universal health care. But 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.We’ll have to work hard to get back to fiscal responsibility and a strong middle class. But on the day we live in anAmerica whose middle class is thriving and growing again, where all Americans, no matter where they live or where their ancestors came from, can earn a decent living, we will live in a stronger America and that is why we must elect Barack Obama our President.We’ll have to work hard to foster the innovation that makes us energy independent and lift the threat of global warming from our children’s future. But on the day we live in an America fueled by renewable energy, we will live in a stronger America. That’s why we have to help elect Barack Obama our President.We’ll have to work hard to bring our troops home from Iraq, and get them the support they’ve earned by their service. But on the day we live in an America that’s as loyal to our troops as they have been to us, we will live in a stronger America and that is why we must help elect Barack Obama our President.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.Together Senator Obama and I achieved milestones essential to our progress as a nation, part of our perpetual duty to form a more perfect union.Now, on a personal note – when I was asked what it means to be a woman running for President, I always gave the same answer: that I was proud to be running as a woman but I was running because I thought I’d be the best President. But I am a woman, and like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases out there, often unconscious.I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worries about my daughter’s future and a mother who wants to lead all children to brighter tomorrows. To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect. Let us resolve and work toward achieving some very simple propositions: There are no acceptable limits and there are no acceptable prejudices in the twenty-first century.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.To those who are disappointed that we couldn’t go all the way – especially the young people who put so much into this campaign – it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you’re knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.As we gather here today in this historic magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.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 willknow 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 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. 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 to keep doing what I was doing long before the came ras 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.。

希拉里讲话口译(一段段中英对照的哦)

Good evening, everyone. Good evening and welcome to the Benjamin Franklin Room here in the State Department. I am delighted that Secretary Geithner and I have the great privilege of once again hosting the third Strategic and Economic Dialogue here in Washington. A few weeks ago in this very room, I had the privilege of sitting and talking with Dr. Henry Kissinger, my esteemed predecessor and a good friend to many of us here. He spoke of the early days of the U.S.-China diplomatic relationship going back 40 years now. And he discussed many of the challenges that his generation of diplomats on both sides had to overcome.大家晚上好。

晚上好,欢迎大家光临国务院本杰明•富兰克林厅。

盖特纳部长和我本人再次有幸在华盛顿主持第三轮美中战略与经济对话,我感到十分高兴。

几个星期前就在这个厅里,我有幸坐在这里与我尊敬的前任和在座很多人的好朋友亨利•基辛格博士进行交谈。

他讲述了40年前美中早期外交关系的情况,谈到当年他那一代双方的外交家必须克服的很多困难。

These have been decades of unprecedented growth and progress for China. It has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and has helped to drive global prosperity. The United States has welcomed China’s growth and we have b enefited from it. Relations are far broader and deeper than even Dr. Kissinger and his colleagues could have imagined all those years ago.几十年来,中国取得了前所未有的发展和进步,使亿万人民摆脱了贫困,并为推动全球繁荣做出了贡献。

奥巴马总统和胡锦涛主席要求两国建立积极、合作和全面的关系,过去16个月来我们共同努力,为双方的关系奠定了基础。 去年,我们在华盛顿启动了战略与经济对话,为两国关系建立了主要的对话机制。今年,我们派出代表性更广泛和更深入的团 队,前来中国讨论日益增多的议程。我们构建了合作的平台,确定了拥有共同利益的领域。
国务卿克林顿:早上好。感谢国务委员戴秉国和副总理王岐山非常热情的接待。我国代表团的全体成员十分高兴来到北京。我 与我的同事盖特纳(Geithner)部长及我国政府各部门的众多官员一起代表美国出席第二轮美中战略与经济对话,为此感到十 分荣幸。
I first visited China in 1995, and I have been privileged to return since then. Every trip to China offers fresh insights and images of the dynamism of this country and its people, the pace of change, and the possibilities for the future. Back in 1995, trade between our two nations was measured in the tens of billions of dollars. Today it is counted in the hundreds of billions. Few people back then had cell phones, and almost no one had access to the Internet. Today China has the world’s largest mobile phone network, and more Internet users than any other country on earth.

希拉里大学毕业演讲稿

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。

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.

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 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.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? 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.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。
