布什就职演说强调后911历史意义

布什19号到美国国家档案馆参观，观看美国⽴国的三部最重要⽂件：〈独⽴宣⾔〉，〈美国宪法〉，和〈公民权利法案〉。

他还特别查阅了美国第⼀任总统华盛顿当年发表的就职演讲。

在第⼀任期即将结束，第⼆任期即将开始的时候，布什说他绝对能够体会到这⼀时刻的历史感。

记者：“你是否正在体会这⼀时刻在历史中的位置？”
布什：“绝对的。

”
布什的⾼级顾问罗夫表⽰，在就职前⼣反思美国的⽴国经过，参观档案馆可能成为布什之后其它总统的新传统。

尽管民调显⽰美国民众对布什的反对率达到历史之最，罗夫说布什仍然对第⼆任期⾮常乐观。

⽩宫发⾔⼈麦克莱伦说，布什在就职演说中将强调美国⽬前所处的特殊历史机遇期。

麦克莱伦说，“总统在（就职）演说中将谈到我们⽣活的这个历史性的时代。

他还将谈到在他⼼⽬中充满希望的美国和世界。

他的演说将是针对美国⼈民和全世界的。

”
他说，就职演说的主旨将包括在世界各地传播民主和⾃由，凭借美国的强⼤影响⼒推⼴和平，保护美国的利益。

据透露，就职演说的长度为17分钟。

由于天⽓的原因，布什将不会按照传统，⽤当年华盛顿就职时使⽤的〈圣经〉宣誓就职，⽽是使⽤他⽗亲⽼布什当年就职使⽤的〈圣经〉。

布什周三在⽩宫设宴招待146名前来贺喜的家庭成员。

他还参加了主要共和党赞助商举办的晚会。

911当晚电视讲话

And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me."
We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.
Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened.

小布什911演讲

9·11恐怖袭击周年纪念日,当地时间9月11日晚上21:01（北京时间12日早上9:01，以静静肃立的自由女神像为背景，美国总统布什在纽约爱丽思岛向全国发表讲话发誓：美国不会被袭击摧垮。

President: Good evening. A long year has passed since enemies attacked our country. We've seen the images so many times they are seared on our souls, and remembering the horror, reliving the anguish, re-imagining the terror, is hard — and painful.For those who lost loved ones, it's been a year of sorrow, of empty places, of newborn children who will never know their fathers here on earth. For members of our military, it's been a year of sacrifice, and service far from home. For all Americans, it has been a year of adjustment — of coming to terms with the difficult knowledge that our nation has determined enemies, and that we are not invulnerable to their attacks.Yet in the events that have challenged us, we've also seen the character that will deliver us. We've seen the greatness of America in airline passengers who defied their hijackers and ran a plane into the ground to spare the lives of others. We've seen the greatness of America in rescuers who rushed up flights of stairs toward peril. And we continue to see the greatness of America in the care and compassion our citizens show to each other.September the 11th, 2001, will always be a fixed point in the life of America. The loss of so many lives left us to examine our own. Each of us was reminded that we are here only for a time, and these counted days should be filled with things that last and matter: love for our families, love for our neighbors, and for our country; gratitude for life and to the giver of life. We resolved a year ago to honor every last person lost. We owe them remembrance, and we owe them more. We owe them, and their children, and our own, the most enduring monument we can build: a world of liberty and security made possible by the way America leads, and by the way Americans lead our lives.The attack on our nation was also attack on the ideals that make us a nation. Our deepest national conviction is that every life is precious, because every life is the gift of a creator who intended us to live in liberty and equality.More than anything else, this separates us from the enemy we fight. We value every life; our enemies value none — not even the innocent; not even their own. And we seek the freedom and opportunity that give meaning and value to life.There is a line in our time, and in every time, between those who believe that all men are created equal, and those who believe that some men, and women,and children, are expendable in the pursuit of power. There is a line in our time, and in every time, between the defenders of human liberty and those who seek to master the minds and souls of others. Our generation has now heard history's call, and we will answer it.America has entered a great struggle that tests our strength, and even more our resolve. Our nation is patient and steadfast坚定的; 不动摇的; 固定不动的. We continue to pursue the terrorists in cities, and camps, and caves across the earth. We are joined by a great coalition of nations to rid the world of terror. And we will not allow any terrorist or tyrant to threaten civilization with weapons of mass murder. Now and in the future, Americans will live as free people, not in fear, and never at the mercy of any foreign plot or power.This nation has defeated tyrants and liberated death camps, raised this lampof liberty to every captive land. We have no intention of ignoring or appeasing history's latest gang of fanatics trying to murder their way to power. They are discovering, as others before them, the resolve of a great country and a great democracy. In the ruins of two towers, under a flag unfurled展开, 张开, 铺开at the Pentagon at the funerals of the lost, we have made a sacred promise, to ourselves and to the world: We will not relent until justice is done and our nation is secure. What our enemies have begun, we will finish.I believe there is a reason that history has matched this nation with this time. America strives to be tolerant and just. We respect the faith of Islam, even as we fight those whose actions defile that faith. We fight, not to impose our will, but to defend ourselves and extend the blessings of freedom.We cannot know all that lies ahead. Yet we do know that God has placed us together in this moment, to grieve together, to stand together, to serve each other and our country. And the duty we have been given — defending America and our freedom — is also a privilege we share.We're prepared for this journey. And our prayer tonight is that God will see us through, and keep us worthy.Tomorrow is September the 12th. A milestone is passed, and a mission goes on. Be confident. Our country is strong. And our cause is even larger than our country. Ours is the cause of human dignity: freedom guided by conscience, and guarded by peace. This ideal of America is the hope of all mankind. That hope drew millions to this harbor. That hope still lights our way. And the light shines in the darkness. And the darkness will not overcome it.May God bless America.。

布什911讲话

布什911电台讲话Good evening.Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors.Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington, which had to be evacuated today, are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.The search is under way for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me.'This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.Thank you. Good night and God bless America.'巴顿Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. H e won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All re al Americans love the sting of battle.When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do a bout fornicating.Now, we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know, by God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards. We're going to cut out their liv ing guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lou sy Hun bastards by the bushel.Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken-out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll k now what to do.Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages s aying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything -- except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose, and we're gonna kick him in the as s. We're gonna kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're gonna go through him lik e crap through a goose!Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home -- an d you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your firesi de with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War Two?" -- you won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled **** in Louisiana."Alright now you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel.Oh, I will be proud to lead you wonderful guysinto battle anytime,anywhere.。

布什911事件发表广播讲话

President Radio Addresses on the Third 9/11AnniversaryGood morning. This is a day of remembrance for our country. And I am honored to be joined at the White House today by Americans who lost so much in the terrible events of September the 11th, 2001, and have felt that loss every day since. 早上好。

Three years ago, the struggle of good against evil was compressed into a single morning. In the space of only 102 minutes, our country lost more citizens than were lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Time has passed, but the memories do not fade. We remember the images of fire, and the final calls of love, and the courage of rescuers who saw death and did not flee.We remember the cruelty of enemies who murdered the innocent, and rejoiced in our suffering. We remember the many good lives that ended too soon -- which no one had the right to take.And our nation remembers the families left behind to carry a burden of sorrow. They have shown courage of their own. And with the help of God's grace, and with support from one another, the families of terror victims have shown a strength that survives all hurt. Each of them remains in the thoughts and prayers of the American people.The terrorist attacks on September the 11th were a turning point for our nation. We saw the goals of a determined enemy: to expand the scale of their murder, and force America to retreat from the world. And our nation accepted a mission: We will defeat this enemy. The United States of America is determined to guard our homeland against future attacks. As the September the 11th Commission concluded, our country is safer than we were three years ago, but we are not yet safe.So every day, many thousands of dedicated men and women are on duty -- as air marshals, airport screeners, cargo inspectors, border patrol officers, and first responders. At the same time, Americans serving in the FBI and CIA are performing their daily work with professionalism, while we reform those agencies to see the dangers around the next corner. Our country is grateful to all our fellow citizens who watch for the enemy, and answer the alarms, and guard America by their vigilance.The United States is determined to stay on the offensive, and to pursue the terrorists wherever they train, or sleep, or attempt to set down roots. We have conducted this campaign from the mountains of Afghanistan, to the heart of the Middle East, to the horn of Africa, to the islands of the Philippines, to hidden cells within our own country.More than three-quarters of all Qaeda's key members and associates have been detained or killed. We know that there is still a danger to America. So we will not relent until the terrorists who plot murder against our people are found and dealt with. The United States is also determined to advance democracy in the broader Middle East, because freedom will bring the peace and security we all want. Whenthe peoples of that region are given new hope and lives of dignity, they will let go of old hatreds and resentments, and the terrorists will find fewer recruits. And as governments of that region join in the fight against terror instead of harboring terrorists, America and the world will be more secure. Our present work in Iraq and Afghanistan is difficult. It is also historic and essential.By our commitment and sacrifice today, we will help transform the Middle East, and increase the safety of our children and grandchildren.Since September the 11th, the sacrifices in the war on terror have fallen most heavily on members of our military, and their families. Our nation is grateful to the brave men and women who are taking risks on our behalf at this hour. And America will never forget the ones who have fallen -- men and women last seen doing their duty, whose names we will honor forever. The war on terror goes on. The resolve of our nation is still being tested. And in the face of danger we are showing our character. Three years after the attack on our country, Americans remain strong and resolute, patient in a just cause, and confident of the victory to come.Thank you for listening.。

布什白宫电视讲话全文2001-09-12 9:45AM Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.“晚上好，今天，我们的同胞，我们的生活，我们的自由，遭到了一系列有预谋的、惨无人道的恐怖分子袭击。

许多人在飞机上或者是在他们的办公室中不幸遇难，他们中有秘书，有商人和妇女，有军人和政府工作人员，有父亲和母亲，还有朋友和邻居。

数千个生命瞬间就被邪恶的恐怖主义袭击吞噬了。

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.飞机撞到了高楼上，浓烟滚滚，巨大的建筑物坍塌了，我们无法相信这一画面。

我们心中充满了极度的悲痛和无言的、无法妥协的愤怒。

These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people have been moved to defend a great nation.这次大规模屠杀行为目的是为了恐吓我们的国家，使美国陷入一片混乱之中。

”Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors; sisters and brothers; mothers and fathers; sons and daughters - they were taken from us with heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. On September 12, 2001, we awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future.十年前，美国经历了历史上最黑暗的一天。

英文演讲_布什就九·一一事件四周年颁发勇气勋章的演讲.

布什就九·一一事件四周年颁发勇气勋章的演讲President Remembers 9/11 Heroesat Medal of Valor Award Ceremony2005年9月9日,布什颁发勇气勋章并发表纪念9/11四周年的演讲。

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. (Applause.) Thank you. Welcome to the White House. Laura and I are honored that you're here today. We recognize a group of Americans whose bravery and commitment to their fellow citizens showed us the true meaning of heroism.The 442 names you just heard belong to men and women of uncommon valor and decency and honor. On one of the worst days our country has ever witnessed, we witnessed the courage of some of the finest people our country has ever produced. And their sacrifice will always be remembered.I want to thank the Attorney General. I welcome members of the United States Congress and the United States Senate who have joined us -- Bill Frist, Senator Schumer, Congressman Fossella, Congressman Crowley. By the way, thank you for bringing your mother. Congressman Wolf, Congressman Smith, Congressman King, Congressman McCarthy, Congressman Israel. I want to thank Ray Kelly, the Police Commissioner of the great city of New York. (Applause.) I thank all the fire chiefs, police chiefs, and Port Authority personnel. I particularly want to thank the men and women who are on the front line of making us safe -- thank you all for coming today. (Applause.)The 9/11 Heroes Medal of Valor honors the public safety officers who gave their lives on September the 11th. On that day, firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians, Port Authority personnel and other public safety officers performed their jobs with extraordinary distinction in the face of unspeakable terror.We're grateful to the families and friends who have come here to honor their memory. We know that the sense of loss you feel does not disappear with time. Four years later, you still miss your loved ones. America admires your courage in the face of such terrible pain. And your loved ones will always have the thanks and admiration and respect of a grateful nation.When America has been challenged, there has always been citizens willing to step forward and risk their lives for the rest of us. Over the last 11 days in Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama, we have again seen acts of great compassion and extraordinary bravery from America's first responders. Firefighters and police, and U.S. Coast Guard men and women, and National Guardsmen and active duty forces, disaster and medical assistance teams, search and rescue units from all over the United States have descended on the Gulf Coast to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. They have faced the storm's destruction with valor and determination, and their hard work has saved lives in the face of great adversity.We're still at the beginning of a huge effort. The tasks before us are enormous. Yet so is the heart of the United States. We're grateful to the emergency personnel -- (applause.) We are grateful to the emergency personnel who are working to assist victims and restore communities affected by this disaster. In these difficult days, we have again seen the great strength and character and resolve of America. And we will continue to work to help the people who are struggling.In every community we depend on those who carry the badge, who keep the peace and protect our citizens. And in times of national crisis, all Americans are grateful to those who answer the alarms and run toward danger and provide urgent care. Those who place their own lives at risk for others must be recognized and honored by their fellow citizens.And four years ago, America saw the unparalleled heroism of our nation's public safety officers. We lost brave rescue workers who gave their lives so that others could live. We lost many other citizens who assisted in the rescue efforts, and whose courage and sacrifice that day made them extraordinary.On September the 11th, 2001, America lost Firefighter Donny Regan of Rescue Company 3 in Bronx. During his 17-year career with the New York City Fire Department he was cited six times for bravery. And today, our nation honors Donny's final act of courage. His son, Peter, lost a father on September the 11th; today, he carries on his father's legacy. Peter followed his dad's footsteps to the fire department. Today he is defending our freedom as a reservist with the 3rd Battalion 25th Marine Regiment in Iraq. (Applause.)On September the 11th, 2001, America lost Firefighter Ronnie Gies of Squad 288 in Queens. Ronnie had been with the New York Fire Department since 1988. He rushed downtown to the World Trade Center. A video of the day showed Ronnie on his way into the towers. His wife said, "You see him straight on, carrying equipment, with such a look of determination." His own son, Tommy, graduated from the FDNY Academy last August, and is now a member of Ladder 147 in Brooklyn. And we're grateful for Tommy's courage and service. (Applause.)On September the 11th, 2001, America lost Senior Court Officer Thomas Jurgens, one of about 25 New York State Court officers who responded after the plane hit the first tower. Thomas' last radio transmission came from inside the burning tower, after he'd been warned to get out because the danger was too great. He refused to leave his post. His last words before signing off were, "There are people here who need our help."On September the 11th, 2001, America lost New York City Police Officer Moira Smith. Moira is remembered by friends for her fearless spirit on and off the job. She ran with the bulls in Spain. And in 1991, she ran into a subway tunnel to rescue dozens of people trapped in one of the worst subway accidents in New York history. On September the 11th, 2001, she ran toward danger once again, into the burning towers of the World Trade Center. A broker she helped to safety remembers her steady blue eyes and her even voice. The next day's papers carried an image of Moira helping an injured man out of the tower, before she rushed back in to save others. And the tower collapsed around her. One of Moira's colleagues said, "She could have saved herself, but nothing would have stopped her saving one more person."These are some of the examples, only a few of the examples, of the extraordinary bravery that took place that day. All the brave men and women we recognize today brought credit to the uniform, and honor to the United States of America. (Applause.)And one way our nation can honor their sacrifice is to win the war on terror. (Applause.) On September the 11th, 2001, we saw the future that terrorists intend for us. And I made a decision: America will not wait to be attacked again. We will take the fight to the enemy, and we'll defend our freedom. (Applause.)Since that day we've taken the fight to the enemy. We're hunting down the terrorists in mountains in Afghanistan, in tribal regions of Pakistan, in the deserts of Iraq, and on islands of Southeast Asia, and the Horn of Africa. We're fighting the terrorists and we're fighting their murderous ideology, by spreading the hope of freedom across the broader Middle East. Free nations are peaceful nations, and by advancing freedom's cause, we are laying the foundation of peace for our children and our grandchildren. (Applause.)We will succeed. And the legacy of peace and freedom we leave behind will be the greatest memorial to your fallen family members and friends. (Applause.)The heroes of September the 11th will not be here to see that day. But their moms and dads and children and grandchildren can know a proud America will always stand in the long shadow of their service and sacrifice, and a proud nation will always remember them.May God bless you all, and may God forever bless the memories of those who sacrificed on behalf of our citizens. (Applause.)。

美国总统布什911袭击后的全国讲话(President George Bush's Address to the Nation)

George W. Bush9/11 Address to the Nation"A Great People Has Been Moved to Defend a Great Nation"Delivered 11 September, Oval Office, Washington, D.C.（1）Good evening.（2）Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge -- huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong.（3）A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake thefoundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These actsshatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one willkeep that light from shining. Today, our nation saw evil -- the very worst of human nature -- and we responded with the best of America. With the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.（4）Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New Y orkCity and Washington D.C. to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks. The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong,and the American economy will be open for business as well.（5）The search is underway for those who were behind these evil acts. I have directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.（6）I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.（7）Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a Power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23:（8）Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are withme.（9）This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice andpeace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world. （10）Thank you. Good night. And God bless America.。

乔治布什911演讲中文稿（推荐）

乔治布什911演讲中文稿（推荐）第一篇：乔治布什911演讲中文稿（推荐）乔治布什9.11演讲“晚上好，今天，我们的同胞、我们的生活及我们珍视的自由受到了恐怖主义分子的蓄意攻击。

许多被劫持的乘客、正在办公的工作人员都不幸遇难，他们可能是：秘书文员、商人、妇女、军方或联邦政府工作人员、为人父母、你们的亲朋好友或邻居。

数千人在恐怖分子的卑劣和罪恶行径下突然间失掉了宝贵的生命。

面对飞机撞毁、熊熊大火、楼房倒塌等图片，我们无法相信眼前的惨状，感到无比的悲哀和愤怒。

恐怖分子的大范围屠戮行为旨在将我们的国家引向混乱和倒退。

但他们的阴谋不会得逞。

我们的国家依然强大。

伟大的美国人民已被动员起来保卫自己的国家。

恐怖主义分子的袭击可以震撼我们的建筑，但他们无法动摇我们牢固的国家基础。

这些行径可以粉碎钢铁，但它们无法挫伤美国人民捍卫国家的决心。

美国之所以成为攻击的目标，是因为我们的自由和机遇之灯塔是世界上最明亮、最耀眼的。

没有人能阻止这种自由之光。

今天，我们见识了人性中最肮脏的灵魂，而我们以美国人的善良回应罪恶，我们的救援人员表现出了大无畏精神、人们纷纷为陌生人及邻里贡献鲜血及爱心。

在首次遭受袭击后，我下令实施了政府紧急救援计划。

我们的强大的军队随时准备投入战斗。

紧急行动小组正在纽约市和华府协助地方力量实施求援。

我们的第一要务是抢救受伤人员，并保护国内及全世界的美国人不再受到伤害。

美国政府的政务仍在正常进行，今天被迫撤出华府的联邦各部门中的重要机构今晚已恢复办公，所有部门均将于明天恢复办公。

政府的经济机构仍强大有力，美国各经济部门也将正常办公。

调查此次邪恶事件元凶的工作正在进行。

我已下令美国所有的情报机构和警察机构全力找出肇事元凶，并将其绳之以法。

胆敢包庇肇事恐怖分子的人也会被我们视为恐怖分子。

我向内阁中与我一道强烈声讨此次恐怖事件的成员表示感谢，也代表美国人民向表示哀悼并给予我们帮助的其他国家的领导人表示感谢。

美国、我们的盟国与友邦和全世界所有热爱和平的人将并肩战斗，与恐怖主义活动作斗争。

【摘要】2001年9月11日发生的恐怖主义分子袭击美国事件对美国内外政策起了相当大的影响,在当时加强了共和党和布什的执政地位,促使布什政府出兵伊拉克.布什每年9·11纪念日都发表讲话,以为其所作所为辩解.随着美国政府在伊拉克越陷越深,美国兵伤亡日益增大,美国国内不满情绪高涨.2006年又恰逢美国中期选举,共和党已看出其不利形势,布什2006年的9·11讲话就得精心设计.其用词、句式、修辞手段、篇章等几方面进行探讨.对其讲话进行了一定程度的语用分析.

Bush告别演说摘要

当地时间15日晚上8时(北京时间16日9时)，美国总统布什向全国发表电视告别演说，反思911恐怖袭击以及布什政府八年来为反恐所做的努力。

布什的演说耗时10至15分钟，谈及他在总统生涯中获得的经验教训，以及他对未来的看法。

以下为演说全文摘要：关于权力移交五天以后，世界将再次见证美国民主制度的活力。

从立国之日起，我们就秉承着一个传统——前任总统的接班人，必须由你们——美国人民选举产生。

对于站在国会前的宣誓者来说，他的故事兑现了这块土地的不朽承诺。

对于我们整个国家而言，那个时刻充满希望和骄傲。

在此，我和所有美国人民一起，向候任总统奥巴马先生，她的妻子米歇尔女士，以及他们的一双美丽女儿致以最美好的祝愿。

关于感激今晚，我的心中充满感恩之情。

我感激人民曾经给予的信任，感激那些曾经让我振奋心智的祝福。

我还感谢在过去八年中，我曾经无数次目睹的你们那些勇敢、慷慨与高尚的行为。

关于反恐战争今晚，我的思绪再次回到了2001年9月11日后我首次在此向你们讲话时的情景。

那天早上，恐怖分子夺去了将近3000个生命，我们遭受到了自珍珠港事件以来最惨重的袭击。

时过境迁，如今，多数美国人已经大致恢复了911之前的生活。

但是我没有。

每天早上，我都会收到一份关于国家安全的简报，并且我一直在尽一切努力保障我们的安全。

在过去的7年里，我们建立了一个崭新的国土安全部。

美国的军队，情报机关和联邦调查局也已经改头换面。

我们的国家有了新的工具监视恐怖分子的活动，冻结他们的资金，挫败他们的阴谋。

而且，在我们盟友的有力支援下，我们主动出击与恐怖分子和他们的支持者战斗。

关于政府这些行为的合法性，人们有很多的讨论；但是这些行为的成就是毋庸置疑的。

在过去的7年多里，美国再也没有遭到像911一样的恐怖袭击。

这个成就，是对那些为保卫我们安全为鞠躬尽瘁的人们——执法官员，情报人员，国土安全和外交人员以及美国三军将士的最高褒奖。

当人们生活在自由之中时，他们不会心甘情愿地让鼓吹恐怖者骑在头上；当人们对未来生活有幸福憧憬时，不会把他们的生命出卖给暴力和极端。

布什911周年纪念日讲话

Remarks by George Bush on the One Year Anniversary of the 911Terrorist AttackMy country will always remember the outpouring of friendship and support from nations around the world in the wake of September the 11th. On behalf of all Americans, I thank the millions of people from every nation who share our grief over the loss of innocent life, and who share our resolve to lift the dark cloud of terror from our world.Many nations and many families have lived in the shadow of terrorism for decades, and during years of mindless and merciless killing. September the 11th was not the beginning of global terror, but it was the beginning of the world’s concerted response. History will remember that day not only as a day of tragedy, but as a day of decision, when the civilized world was stirred to anger and to action. And the terrorists will remember September the 11th as the day their reckoning (清算)began. // 我的国家会永远记住在911事件之后，世界各国给予我们的无限关心和支持。

President: Good evening. A long year has passed since enemies attacked our country. We've seen the images so many times they are seared on our souls, and remembering the horror, reliving the anguish, re-imagining the terror, is hard —and painful.For those who lost loved ones, it's been a year of sorrow, of empty places, of newborn children who will never know their fathers here on earth. For members of our military, it's been a year of sacrifice, and service far from home. For all Americans, it has been a year of adjustment — of coming to terms with the difficult knowledge that our nation has determined enemies, and that we are not invulnerable to their attacks.Yet in the events that have challenged us, we've also seen the character that will deliver us. We've seen the greatness of America in airline passengers who defied their hijackers and ran a plane into the ground to spare the lives of others. We've seen the greatness of America in rescuers who rushed up flights of stairs toward peril. And we continue to see the greatness of America in the care and compassion our citizens show to each other.September the 11th, 2001, will always be a fixed point in the life of America. The loss of so many lives left us to examine our own. Each of us was reminded that we are here only for a time, and these counted days should be filled with things that last and matter: love for our families, love for our neighbors, and for our country; gratitude for life and to the giver of life. We resolved a year ago to honor every last person lost. We owe them remembrance, and we owe them more. We owe them, and their children, and our own, the most enduring monument we can build: a world of liberty and security made possible by the way America leads, and by the way Americans lead our lives.The attack on our nation was also attack on the ideals that make us a nation.Our deepest national conviction is that every life is precious, because every life is the gift of a creator who intended us to live in liberty and equality.More than anything else, this separates us from the enemy we fight. We value every life; our enemies value none — not even the innocent; not even their own. And we seek the freedom and opportunity that give meaning and value to life.There is a line in our time, and in every time, between those who believe that all men are created equal, and those who believe that some men, and women, and children, are expendable in the pursuit of power. There is a line in our time, and in every time, between the defenders of human liberty and those who seek to master the minds and souls of others. Our generation has now heard history's call, and we will answer it.America has entered a great struggle that tests our strength, and even more our resolve. Our nation is patient and steadfast. We continue to pursue the terroristsin cities, and camps, and caves across the earth. We are joined by a great coalition of nations to rid the world of terror. And we will not allow any terrorist or tyrant to threaten civilization with weapons of mass murder. Now and in the future, Americans will live as free people, not in fear, and never at the mercy of any foreign plot or power.This nation has defeated tyrants and liberated death camps, raised this lamp of liberty to every captive land. We have no intention of ignoring or appeasing history's latest gang of fanatics trying to murder their way to power. They are discovering, as others before them, the resolve of a great country and a great democracy. In the ruins of two towers, under a flag unfurled at the Pentagon at the funerals of the lost, we have made a sacred promise, to ourselves and to the world: We will not relent until justice is done and our nation is secure. What our enemies have begun, we will finish.I believe there is a reason that history has matched this nation with this time. America strives to be tolerant and just. We respect the faith of Islam, even as we fight those whose actions defile that faith. We fight, not to impose our will, but to defend ourselves and extend the blessings of freedom.We cannot know all that lies ahead. Yet we do know that God has placed us together in this moment, to grieve together, to stand together, to serve each other and our country. And the duty we have been given — defending America and our freedom —is also a privilege we share.We're prepared for this journey. And our prayer tonight is that God will see us through, and keep us worthy.Tomorrow is September the 12th. A milestone is passed, and a mission goes on. Be confident. Our country is strong. And our cause is even larger than our country. Ours is the cause of human dignity: freedom guided by conscience, and guarded by peace. This ideal of America is the hope of all mankind. That hope drew millions to this harbor. That hope still lights our way. And the light shines in the darkness. And the darkness will not overcome it.May God bless America.总统：晚上好。
