First Inaugural Address of George Washington

THE CITY OF NEW YORK

THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1789

Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives:

Among the vicissitudes incident to life no event could have filled me with greater anxieties than that of which the notification was transmitted by your order, and received on the 14th day of the present m onth. On the one hand, I was summoned by my Country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love, from a retreat which I had chosen with the fondest predilection, and, in my flattering hopes, with an immutable decision, as the asylum of my declining years--a retreat which was rendered every day m ore necessary as well as more dear to me by the addition of habit to inclination, and of frequent interruptions in my health to the gradual waste committed on it by time. On the other hand, the m agnitude and difficulty of the trust to which the voice of my country called me, being sufficient to awaken in the wisest and most experienced of her citizens a distrustful scrutiny into his qualifications, could not but overwhelm with despondence one who (inheriting inferior endowments from nature and unpracticed in the duties of civil administration) ought to be peculiarly conscious of his own deficiencies. In this conflict of emotions all I dare aver is that it has been my faithful study to collect my duty from a just appreciation of every circumstance by which it might be affected. All I dare hope is that if, in executing this task, I have been too mu ch swayed by a grateful remembrance of former instances, or by an affectionate sensibility to this transcendent proof of the confidence of my fellow-citizens, and have thence too little consulted my incapacity as well as disinclination for the weighty and untried cares before me, my error will be palliated by the motives which mislead me, and its consequences be judged by my country with some share of the partiality in which they originated.

Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present station, it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official act my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes, and may enable every instrum ent employed in its administration to execute with success the functions allotted to his charge. In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and private good, I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own, nor those of my fellow- citizens at large less than either. No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than those of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation see ms to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency; and in the important revolution just accomplished in the system of their united government the tranquil

deliberations and voluntary consent of so many distinct communities from which the e vent has resulted can not be compared with the means by which most governments have been established without some return of pious gratitude, along with an humble anticipation of the future blessings which the past seem to presage. These reflections, arising out of the present crisis, have forced themselves too strongly on my mind to be suppressed. You will join with me, I trust, in thinking that there are none under the influence of which the proceedings of a new and free government can more auspiciously commence.

By the article establishing the executive department it is made the duty of the President "to recommend to your consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." The circumstances under which I now meet you will acquit me fro m entering into that subject further than to refer to the great constitutional charter under which you are assembled, and which, in defining your powers, designates the objects to which your attention is to be given. It will be more consistent with those circumstances, and far more congenial with the feelings which actuate m e, to substitute, in place of a recommendation of particular measures, the tribute that is due to the talents, the rectitude, and the patriotism which adorn the characters selected to devise and adopt them. In these honorable qualifications I behold the surest pledges that as on one side no local prejudices or attachments, no separate views nor party animosities, will misdirect the comprehensive and equal eye which ought to watch over this great assemblage of communities and interests, so, on another, that the foundation of our national policy will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality, and the preeminence of free government be exemplified by all the attributes which can win the affections of its citizens and command the respect of the world. I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my country can inspire, since there is no truth m ore thoroughly established than that there exists in the economy and course of nature an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness; between duty and advantage; between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity; since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained; and since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

Besides the ordinary objects submitted to your care, it will remain with your judgm ent to decide how far an exercise of the occasional power delegated by the fifth article of the Constitution is rendered expedient at the present juncture by the nature of objections which have been urged against the system, or by the degree of inquietude which has given birth to them. Instead of undertaking particular recommendations on this subject, in which I could be guided by no lights derived from official opportunities, I shall again give way to my entire confidence in your discernment and pursuit of the public good; for I assure myself that whilst you carefully avoid every alteration which might endanger the benefits of an united and effective government, or which ought to await the future lessons of experience, a reverence for the characteristic rights of freem en and a regard for the public harmony will sufficiently

influence your deliberations on the question how far the former can be impregnably fortified or the latter be safely and advantageously promoted.

To the foregoing observations I have one to add, which will be most properly addressed to the House of Representatives. It concerns myself, and will therefore be as brief as possible. When I was first honored with a call into the service of my country, then on the eve of an arduous struggle for its liberties, the light in which I contemplated my duty required that I should renounce every pecuniary compensation. From this resolution I have in no instance departed; and being still under the impressions which produced it, I must decline as inapplicable to myself any share in the personal emoluments which may be indispensably included in a permanent provision for the executive department, and must accordingly pray that the pecuniary estimates for the station in which I am placed may during my continuance in it be limited to such actual expenditures as the public good may be thought to require.

Having thus imparted to you my sentiments as they have been awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I shall take my present leave; but not without resorting once more to the benign Parent of the Human Race in humble supplication that, since He has been pleased to favor the American people with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquillity, and dispositions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity on a form of government for the security of their union and the advancement of their happiness, so His divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.

美国人民的实验

乔治-华盛顿

第一次就职演讲

纽约星期四,1789年4月30日

参议院和众议院的同胞们:

在人生沉浮中,没有一件事能比本月14日收到根据你们的命令送达的通知更使我焦虑不安,一方面,国家召唤我出任此职,对于她的召唤,我永远只能肃然敬从;而隐退是我以挚爱心憎、满腔希望和坚定的决心选择的暮年归宿,由于爱好和习惯,且时光流逝,健康渐衰,时感体力不济,愈觉隐退之必要和可贵。另一方面,国家召唤我担负的责任如此重大和艰巨,足以使国内最有才智和经验的人度德量力,而我天资愚饨,又无民政管理的实践,理应倍觉自己能力之不足,因而必然感到难以肩此重任。怀着这种矛盾心情,我唯一敢断言的是,通过正确估计可能产生影响的各种情况来克尽厥职,乃是我忠贞不渝的努力目标。我唯一敢祈望的是,如果我在执行这项任务时因陶醉于往事,或因由衷感激公民们对我的高度信赖,因而受到过多影响,以致在处理从未经历过的大事时,忽视了自己的无能和消极,我的错误将会由于使我误人歧途的各种动机而减轻,而大家在评判错误的后果时;也会适当包涵产生这些动机的偏见。

既然这就是我在遵奉公众召唤就任现职时的感想,那么,在此宣誓就职之际,如不热忱地祈求全能的上帝就极其失当,因为上帝统治着宇宙,主宰着各国政府,它的神助能弥补人类的任何不足,愿上帝赐福,侃佑一个为美国人民的自由和幸福而组成的政府,保佑它为这些基本目的而作出奉献,保佑政府的各项行政措施在我负责之下都能成功地发挥作用。我相信,在向公众利益和私人利益的伟大缔造者献上这份崇敬时,这些活也同样表达了各位和广大公民的心意。没有人能比美国人更坚定不移地承认和崇拜掌管人间事务的上帝。他们在迈向独立国家的进程中,似乎每走一步都有某种天佑的迹象;他们在刚刚完成的联邦政府体制的重大改革中,如果不是因虔诚的感恩而得到某种回报,如果不是谦卑地期待着过去有所预示的赐福的到来,那么,通过众多截然不同的集团的平静思考和自愿赞同来完成改革,这种方式是不能与大多数政府的组建方式同日而语的。在目前转折关头,我产生这些想法确实是深有所感而不能自已,我相信大家会和我怀有同感,即除了仰仗上帝的力量,一个新生的自由政府别无他法能一开始就事事顺利。根据设立行政部门的条款,总统有责任“将他认为必要而妥善的措施提请国会审议”。但在目前与各位见面的这个场合,恕我不进一步讨论这个问题,而只提一下伟大的宪法,它使各位今天聚集一堂,它规定了各位的权限,指出了各位应该注意的目标。在这样的场合,更恰当、也更能反映我内心激情的做法是不提出具体措施,而是称颂将要规划和采纳这些措施的当选者的才能、正直和爱国心。我从这些高贵品格中看到了最可靠的保证:其一,任何地方偏见或地方感情,任何意见分歧或党派敌视,都不能使我们偏离全局观点和公平观点,即必须维护这个由不同地区和利益所组成的大联合;因此,其二,我国的政策将会以纯洁而坚定的个人道德原则为基础,而自由政府将会以那赢得民心和全世界尊敬的一切特点而显示其优越性。我对国家的一片热爱之心激励着我满怀喜悦地展望这幅远景,因为根据自然界的构成和发展趋势,在美德与幸福之间,责任与利益之间,恪守诚实宽厚的政策与获得社会繁荣幸福的硕果之间,有着密不可分的统一;因为我们应该同样相信,上帝亲自规定了水恒的秩序和权利法则,它决不可能对无视这些法则的国家慈祥地加以赞许;因为人们理所当然地、满怀深情地、也许是最后一次把维护神圣的自由之火和共和制政府的命运,系于美国人所遵命进行的实验上。

我已将有感于这一聚会场合的想法奉告各位,现在我就要向大家告辞;但在此以前,我要再一次以谦卑的心情祈求仁慈的上帝给予帮助。因为承蒙上帝的恩赐,美国人有了深思熟虑的机会,以及为确保联邦的安全和促进幸福,用前所未有的一致意见来决定政府体制的意向;因而,同样明显的是,上帝将保佑我们扩大眼界,心平气和地进行协商,并采取明智的措施,而这些都是本届政府取得成功所必不可少的依靠。

FDR & a New Deal for America

“It is hard, today, to imagine the level of expectation that greeted Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he ascended to take the reins from the much-maligned Hoover‖ (Jennings 155).―People are looking to you almost as they look to God‖ (qtd. in Jennings 157). By the end of his twelve years as president, ―people would find it hard to remember a day when he was not their leader, when they could not expect, at a time of need, to hear his soothing voice‖ (Jennings 157).

1933: A Nation in Crisis ?1933: The Great Depression was almost 4 years old. ?Hoover was seen as ineffective ?Roosevelt was a symbol of hope ?The economy including the stock market, banks and general unemployment was reeling.

肯尼迪总统就职演说(中英文)

肯尼迪总统就职演说(1961年1月20日) Inaugural Address of John F. Kennedy January 20, 1961 Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens: 约翰逊副总统、议长先生、首席大法官先生、艾森豪威尔总统、尼克松副总统、杜鲁门总统、尊敬的牧师、同胞们: We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. 我们今天所看到的,并非是某一党派的胜利,而是自由的庆典。它象征着结束,亦象征着开始;意味着更新,亦意味着变化。因为我已在你们及万能的上帝面前,依着我们先辈175年前写下的誓言宣誓。 The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. 世界已然今非昔比,因为人类手中已经掌握了巨大的力量,既可以用来消除各种形式的贫困,亦可用以毁灭人类社会。然而,我们先辈曾为之战斗的那些革命性的信念还依然在世界上受人争议——那就是,每个人享有的各项权利决非来自国家政权的慷慨赐予,而是出自上帝之手。 We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage -- and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. 今天,我们不敢有忘,我们乃是那第一次革命的后裔。此时,让这个声音从这里同时向我们的朋友和敌人传达:火炬现已传递到新一代美国人手中——他们生于本世纪,既经受过战火的锤炼,又经历过艰难严峻的和平岁月的考验。他们深为我们古老的遗产所自豪——决不愿目睹或听任诸项人权受到无形的侵蚀,这些权利不仅为这个国家始终信守不渝,亦是我们正在国内和世界上誓死捍卫的东西。 Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

如何讲好即席发言

怎么样才能把即席发言讲好呢? 首先,要确立中心,明确自己的观点和态度。由于构思时间短,必须想定自己说些什么,并确立发言中心,以及自己的观点和态度。 其次,要从实际出发,为发言寻找一个切入点。明确了中心、观点以后,最好举例说明问题,增强说服力。 再者,要有精彩的开头和结尾,开头最好干净利落,直接入题,可以借当时的场景、情景、会议的主旨等作为开场白。结尾则要强化发言的主要内容。 讲话者还要善于捕捉时机,乘兴发挥,借以渲染气氛,使讲话横生妙趣,引向纵深。1935年,高尔基参加苏联作协理事会第二次全体会议时,代表们要求他讲话,当他是台时,与会者长时间鼓掌。高尔基灵机一动借题发挥说:“如果把花在鼓掌上面的全部时间计算起来,时间就浪费得太多了。”一下子使全场活跃,讲话就在这样融洽的气氛中开场了。 即席发言,不仅要迅速构思,还是要注意克服紧张心理。一旦上场发言,就应该充满自信,临场不乱,就能有效的控制紧张心理,从容不迫,沉着应战,能尽情发挥,侃侃道来。不然的话本能够在公众场作言之有物的即席发言,也会因为紧张,心慌意乱,讷讷无词,表达不好而讲不了两句话就脸红“卡壳”了,只好败下阵来。那么要克服紧张心理,就要有备无患,并且随机应变。比如《正大综艺》的节目主持人杨澜,2002年九月十九日晚在广州市天河体育中心演出时,戏到中途中,她在下台阶时摔了下来。出现这种情况,的确令人难堪。但杨澜非常沉着地爬了起来,凭着她主持人特有的口才,对台下的观众说:“真是人有失足,马有失蹄呀。我刚才的狮子滚绣球的节目滚得还不熟练吧?看来这次演出的台阶不那么好下哩!但台上的节目会很精彩的,不信,你们瞧他们。”杨澜这段非常成功的即兴演讲,不仅为她自己摆脱了难堪,且更显示出她非凡的口才。以致她话音刚落,会场就立刻爆发出热烈的掌声。有的观众还大声说:“广州欢迎你!” 即席讲话,最能体现你的口语表达水平的高与低。朋友,你是属于前者,还是属于后者?就让我们来试一试吧。 即席讲话训练 1、判断下列说法的正误: ①许多同学当众说话时过分紧张。要消除这种心理状态并不难。主要是应有自信心,即使自己没有做充分准备,只要有胆子,就可以理直气壮的讲。 ②说话怎样才能做到清楚呢?答案是要"多思"。说话前要认真想一想,自己为什么要说,说给谁听,说的重点是什么,怎样去说,先说什么,后说什么。重点和非重点都要详细说。 ③说话要简洁,就要去掉不必要的重复,去掉与中心关系不大的枝蔓。 ④要使说话中心突出,条理清楚,一是要求材料全而多,二是要理清思路和线索,三是要把材料的先后安排好,力求层次清晰,眉目分明。 ⑤说话连贯,是指句与句之间连接得上。说话严密,是指说话有逻辑性。要做到这两点,在平时要养成多思考的习惯。 ⑥在和别人交谈时,说话人不能我行我素,想说什么就说什么,而要看对象,从对象的不同特点出发,说不同的话,从而创造一种和谐、融洽的气氛,

1974年美国总统福特就职演说

1974年美国总统福特就职演说 (文章一):1974年美国总统福特就职演说Vice President Gerald Ford was sworn in as the 38th President of the United States after the resignation of President Nixon. President Ford;s Inaugural Address: [Oath of Office administered by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger] Mr. Chief Justice, my dear friends, my fellow Americans: The oath that I have taken is the same oath that was taken by George Washington and by every President under the Constitution. But I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances never before experienced by Americans. This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts. Therefore, I feel it is my first duty to make an unprecedented pact with my countrymen. Not an inaugural address, not a fireside chat, not a caign speech -- just a little straight talk among friends. And I intend it to be the first of many. I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots, and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers. And I hope that such prayers will also be the first of many. If you have not chosen me by secret ballot, neither have I gained office by any secret promises. I have not caigned either for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. I have not subscribed to any partisan platform. I am indebted to no man, and only to one woman -- my dear

罗斯福首次就职演说

罗斯福首次就职演说 让我们正视面前的严峻岁月,怀着举国一致给我们带来的热情和勇气,怀着寻求传统的、珍贵的道德观念的明确意识,怀着老老少少都能通过克尽职守而得到的问心无愧的满足。 罗斯福首次就职演说President Hoover, Mr. Chief Justice, my friends: This is a day of national consecration. And I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency, I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure, as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is

美国第37任总统尼克松就职演说(全文)

美国第37任总统尼克松就职演说(全文) 时间:1969年1月20日地点:国会大厦 德克森参议员、最高法院首席法官先生、副总统先生、约翰逊总统、汉弗莱副总统、美国同胞们、全世界的公民们: 今天,在这个时刻,我要求你们和我分享这种崇高肃穆的感情。在有秩序的权力交接中,我们欢庆我们的团结一致,它使我们保有自由。 历史巨轮飞转,分分秒秒的时间都十分宝贵,也独具意义。但是有些瞬间却成为新的起点,定下其后数十年及至几个世纪的行程。 现在,由于世界人民要求和平,各国领导人惧怕战争,所以在历史上第一次,时代站到了和平方面。 历史能授予的最光荣称号莫过于“和平的缔造者”了。这最高荣誉现在正召唤美国。美国有机会引导世界最终从动乱的深渊中拔足,走向人类自有文明以来即梦寐以求的和平宽阔高地。如果我们能够成功,后辈子孙提到我们现在活着的人时,将会说我们驾驭了我们的时代,为人类求得了世界安全。 三分之一世纪以前,富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福曾经站在这里向全国演说,当时国家正受经济不景气困扰,陷于惶恐中。他看到国家当时的种种困难,却仍然能够说:“感谢上帝,我国的困难毕竟只在物质方面。” 今天我们的危机正相反。 我们物质丰富,却精神贫乏;我们以非凡的准确程度登上了月球,但地球上却陷入了一片混乱。 我们卷人了战争,没有和平。我们四分五裂,没有团结。我们看到周围的人生活空虚,没有充实的内容;我们看到许多工作需要完成,却没有人手去做。 对于精神的危机,我们需要精神的解决办法。 为了找到解决办法,我们只需省视自身。 当我们估量能够做什么时,我们只应许诺能做到的事。但在制订目标时,却要有远大的理想。 如果你的邻舍没有自由,你就不会得到完全的自由。只有共同前进才能前进。

美国历届总统就职演说词(George Bush)

Inaugural Address of George Bush FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1989 Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. President, Vice President Quayle, Senator Mitchell, Speaker Wright, Senator Dole, Congressman Michel, and fellow citizens, neighbors, and friends: There is a man here who has earned a lasting place in our hearts and in our history. President Reagan, on behalf of our Nation, I thank you for the wonderful things that you have done for America. I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I placed my hand is the Bible on which he placed his. It is right that the memory of Washington be with us today, not only because this is our Bicentennial Inauguration, but because Washington remains the Father of our Country. And he would, I think, be gladdened by this day; for today is the concrete expression of a stunning fact: our continuity these 200 years since our government began. We meet on democracy's front porch, a good place to talk as neighbors and as friends. For this is a day when our nation is made whole, when our differences, for a moment, are suspended. And my first act as President is a prayer. I ask you to bow your heads: Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love. Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely. Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: "Use power to help people." For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people. Help us to remember it, Lord. Amen. I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise. We live in a peaceful, prosperous time, but we can make it better. For a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn; for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over. The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree. A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken. There are times when the future seems thick as a fog; you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right

美国第30任总统 卡尔文·柯立芝就职演说

就职演说 1925年3月4日同胞们: 在考察当前形势时,任何人都不难看到,令人满意的东西实在很多,而鼓舞人心之处则更是不可胜记。我国正在全世界率先进行那场巨大冲突①之后的全面重建工作。今后数年内,我们将背负许多重担,同时也必须准备在某些时候承受那些次要而间接的后果。但目前我们正开始更确切地考虑,我们应当遵循何种方针,应当运用何种补救措施,应当采取什么行动以解决自己的问题;而且我们正清楚地表明我们意志坚定,决心忠实而自觉地实施这些扶危济困的措施。由于我们在内政方面已进行了充分调整,②因而信心得到恢复,商业得以复兴,全国各地正在逐步进入一个繁荣的时期。同时我们也意识到,我们不能孤立地生存下去,因而我们提供了财力和建议,以帮助欧洲各国解除困苦和平息争端。①因为美国过去所取得的成就和目前的现状,全人类便具有了更为坚定的勇气和更为崇高的愿望,不觉精神为之一振。 ①指第一次世界大战(1914—1918)。 ②第一次世界大战结束后,共和党政府即着手结束战时政策,解除对企业的过分干涉,任其自由发展,同时采取措施刺激农业生产,国内经济开始走向策荣。 ①1924年4月美国国会通过关于德国赔款同题的“道斯计划”,规定向德国贷款两亿美元以刺激其经济复兴,提高其赔款能力,从而有助于缓和法国、比利时等国因德国不能按时赔款而占领德国鲁尔地区所引起的紧张局势。 这些成果并不纯粹是机遇的产物。它们的取得,乃是许多人不断努力、开动脑筋和付出重大牺牲的结果。我们必须继续向过去学习,否则在将来就不能保持这些辉煌的成就。我们若要讲求治国之道,就必须坚持不懈地运用我国以往处理内政外交的经验。我们如想建立新的大厦,就必须透彻了解原有的基础。我们应当认识到,人类的本性大体上乃是宇宙中最为恒久的事物,人类关系的本.质也不会发生变化。我们想保持正确方向,就必须时常根据政治天空中这些固定的星座来确定自己的方位。我们如能仔细审视已做的工作,就可以精确地决定今后能做些什么。 我们的国家意识通过争取独立的军事行动得以首次明确无误地显示出来,迄今已有一百五十年了,②我们现在正处于这第一百五十个年头的开端。过去那种分裂和从属的殖民地情感业已消失,代之而起的是一种团结而独立的国家情感。人们开始摒弃地方宪章的狭隘限制,转而寻求全国性宪法所提供的广阔机会。③在自由精神的不断激励之下,我们成为一个独立的国家。将近五十年之后,我们向全世界重申了自己的这种自由和独立,并通过门罗主义而加以捍卫、支持和提供保障。①美国的国土一度不过是大西洋海岸地区的狭长地带,但后来其边疆不断推移,越过横隔大陆的山脉和平原,一直延伸到太平洋那黄金般的海岸。②我们使自由成为一种与生俱来的权利。我们为保障自己的利益,将领土扩展到遥远的岛屿,③并且承担随之而来的责任,赋予那里的不幸人民以正义和自由。为了捍卫我们自己的理想,同时也为了自由这一具有普遍意义的事业,我们参加了世界大战。④待到赢得全面胜利,我们便将军队撤回本土,除了因为已尽义务而心安理得之外,并未索取任何补偿。 ②1775年北美殖民地开始反抗英国统治的独立战争,至1925年已有一百五十周年了。 ③1776年相继宣布独立的各州均制定了各自的宪法,各州自行其是,相互联系松散,而邦联政府也软弱无力。1787年制定联邦宪法,组成一个较强大的全国政府,使美国获得了更好的发展条件。参见本书第4页注释②和第11页注释②。 ①1823年12月第五任总统詹姆斯·门罗提出“门罗主义”,反对欧洲把美洲当做殖民的对象,此时美国宣布独立已有四十七年。参见本书第54页注释③。

美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿

美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿(英文,中文版) 美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿(英文版) President Hoover, Mr. Chief Justice, my friends: This is a day of national consecration. And I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency, I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure, as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunk to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; and the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. And yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered, because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply. Primarily, this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men. True, they have tried. But their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence.

特朗普就职演讲稿中文 导语:XX年11月9日,美国大选终于尘埃落定,一开始一直不被看好的唐纳德?特朗普击败民主党候选人希拉里?克林顿,当选美国第45任总统。他获选后的这篇演讲,不管是从内容还是风格形式上都非常有特色。以下是品才网小编整理的特朗普就职演讲稿中文,欢迎阅读参考。 特朗普就职演讲稿中文首席大法官罗伯茨先生,卡特前总统,克林顿前总统,布什前总统,奥巴马前总统,各位美国同胞,世界人民,感谢你们。 各位美国公民们,我们正参与到一项伟大的全国性事业当中:重建我们的国家,重塑对全体人民的承诺。我们将一起决定未来很多年内美国乃至全世界的道路。 我们将遭遇挑战。我们会遇到困难。但是我们能将这项事业完成。每过四年,我们都相聚在这里进行有序和平的权力交接。 我们应该感谢总统奥巴马和第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马,他们在权力交接中,慷慨地给予我以帮助。他们真的很棒。谢谢你们。 今天的就职典礼有着特殊的意义。因为,今天我们不只是将权力由一任总统交接到下一任总统,由一个政党交接给另一政党。

今天,我们是将权力由华盛顿交接到了人民的手中,即你们的手中。 长久以来,华盛顿的一小群人攫取了利益果实,代价却要由人民来承受。华盛顿欣欣向荣,人民却没有分享到财富。政客们塞满了腰包,工作机会却越来越少,无数工厂关门。 建制派保护的是他们自己,而不是我们国家的公民。他们的成功和胜利不属于你们。当他们在我们的首都欢呼庆祝时,这片土地上无数在挣扎奋斗的家庭却没有什么可以庆祝的。但这些都会改变,在此地改变,在此时改变。因为你们的时刻来临了,这一刻属于你们。 这次胜利,属于今天聚集在这里的所有人,以及全国正在观看这次典礼的所有美国人。这是属于你们的一天。这是你们的庆祝日。我们所在的美利坚合众国,是你们的国家。 真正重要的,并不是政府由哪个政党来掌控,而是政府能不能被人民掌控。XX年1月20日,这一天将会被铭记,美国人民重新成为了国家的主宰者。 曾经被忽视的美国人不会继续被忽视。 现在,所有人都在倾听你们。你们数以千万计地投入到这场历史运动中,这样的事情世界上从来没有过。 这一就职典礼的核心是一种信念——我们坚信国家是为服务人民而存在的。我们国家想要为孩子们提供优良的学校教育,为家庭提供安全的生活环境,为每个人提供好的就

从历届美国总统就职演说辞中探讨排比在演说词中的使用

摘要:就职演说作为一种特殊的演讲形势,很好的诠释了演说词的深远意义和广泛影响力。本文以美国历届总统就职演说辞为研究对象,对排比的大量使用进行分析,旨在揭示排比修辞法在演讲文体中的巨大作用。排比的使用能给演讲者带来恢弘的气势,使演说的逻辑更加清晰,同时也增强了演说者的感召力,增强了读者和听众对演说词的深刻理解。 关键词:就职演说词;演讲;排比 公众演讲作为一种极为特殊的问题,既不同于日常谈话,也不同于小说、戏剧、诗歌等文学体裁。由于其都是在非常正式的场合,由特定的演讲者直接面向广大听众进行的旨在激起群众的热情,获得听众的支持和认可的一种社会活动,因此使其兼备口语和书面语俩种文体的语言特点同时,有着显著地差异。它扬口语浅显易懂之长,弃口语松散杂乱之短;既保留了书面语庄重文雅之风,又不失口语生动感人之韵,使人听来感到铿锵悦耳,感情充沛,极富感染力和号召力。 美国总统的就职演说是一种在特定场合下的演说。现场听众可达百万之众,并且向国内外进行现场直播。美国民众及世界各国总是对新总统有着无限期待,总统治国理想,对国家所面临的困难和挑战的分析,施政纲领的宣布以及如何实现民众的希望都通过这一就职演讲传达出来。据各大媒体的调查表明,大多数美国民众对美国新当选的总统奥巴马于2009年1月20日做出的就职演说感到满意和非常满意。由此可见,一次演讲所承担的使命以及其所能达到的效果非同凡响。本文以美国历届总统就职演说辞为语料,以排比修辞法的使用为基点进行简要的分析,揭示排比在演讲词中的巨大作用以及其所带来的恢弘气势、清晰地说理与强大的感召力,以增强读者对排比法的深刻理解。 排比(parallelism)是一种修辞手法,它是利用三个或三个以上意义相关或相近,结构相同或相似和语气相同的词组(主谓/动宾)或句子并排,达到一种加强语势的效果。Parallelism:Similarity of construction of adjacent word groups equivalent,complementary,or antithetic in sense esp.for rhetorical effect or rhythm;reiteration in similar phrases (Webster’s Third New International Dictionary of The English Language Unabridged1986).这种结构的大量运用,使得演讲在句法结构上更加工整,在语篇上更具气势,在感情上更具有感染力。在诸多的美国总统中,每一位总统的就职演说词,都依据各自不同的政治目的,而或多或少的使用到了排比的修辞方法,以下则是笔者从美国历任总统的演说中例选出的经典排比句式。 例1.托马斯.杰斐逊在建国之初,国家建设时期的就职演讲中,排比句的使用感召了国民对进国家建设的热衷,鼓舞了民众士气。 Let us,then,fellow-citizens,unite with one heart and one mind.Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things.And let us reflect that,having banished from our land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled and suffered,we have yet gained little if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic,as wicked,and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions……Let us,then,with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. 公民们,让我们同心同德地团结起来。让我们在社会交往中和睦如初、恢复友爱,如果没有这些,自由,甚至生活本身都会索然寡味,让我们再想一想,我们已经将长期以来造成人类流血、受苦的宗教信仰上的不宽容现象逐出国上,如果我们鼓励某种政治上的不宽容,其专演、邪恶和可能造成的残酷、血腥迫害均与此相仿,那么我们必将无所收获。……因此,让我们以勇气和信心,迫求我们自己的联邦与共和原则,拥戴联邦与代议制政府。 四个Let us…平行排列,从团结到和睦如初,到想一想,最后到以勇气和欣欣追求共和原则,把团结置于首位,加强了感情联络,产生了强烈的感召力。 例2.在维护祖国统一的美国内战时期,林肯于1861年三月四日就职演说中通过排比的句式使用表现其坚定的反对国家分裂、维护国家统一的立场和信念,给我们留下了极其深刻的影响。 It was formed,in fact,by the Articles of Association in 1774.It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in1776.It was further matured,and the faith of all the then thirteen States…… 在三个平行结构的被动句式排比中,强调了联邦条款之于美国联邦的重要性,突出了国家宪法高于一切,人民的利益是以宪法为保障,一切组织和团体行为都要以宪法为依据,因而突出团结高于一切。 例3.在经济大危机施虐全球的30年代,富兰克林·罗斯福于新政改革时期所做的就职演说中,排比的使用加强了人们复苏经济的信心;他在就职演说中大量的使用排比以呼吁美国人摆脱恐惧心理,迅速行动起来应付危机。 The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise…It can be helped by preventing realistically the…It can be helped by 从历届美国总统就职演说辞中探讨 排比在演说词中的使用 贲延青 147

罗斯福就职演讲罗斯福就职演说稿 【--就职演讲稿】 就职演说是一位总统最重要的演讲了,下面就是为您收集的罗斯福就职演说稿的相关文章,希望可以帮到您,如果你觉得不错的话可以分享给更多小伙伴哦! 胡佛总统,首席法官先生,朋友们: President Hoover, Mr.Chief Justice, my friends: 值此我就职之际,同胞们肯定期望我以我国当前情势所要求的坦率和果断来发表演说。现在确实尤其有必要坦白而果敢地谈一谈真情实况,全部的真情实况。我们没有必要去躲闪,没有必要不老老实实地面对我国今天的情况。我们的国家过去经得起考验,今后还会经得起考验,复兴起来,繁荣下去。因此,首先,允许我申明我的坚定信念:我们唯一值得恐惧的就是恐惧本身——会使我们由后退转而前进所需的努力陷于瘫痪的那种无名的、没有道理的、毫无根据的害怕。在我们国家生活中每一个黑暗的时刻,直言不讳、坚强有力的领导都曾经得到人民的谅解和支持,从而保证了胜利。我坚信,在当前的危机时期,你们也会再一次对领导表示支持。

I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our Nation impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. 我和你们都要以这样一种精神来面对共同的困难。感谢上帝,这些困难都只是物质方面的。价值贬缩到难以想象的程度;赋税增加了;我们支付能力下降了;各级政府都遇到严重的收入短缺;交换手段在贸易贸易过程中遭到了冻结,工业企业尽成枯枝残叶;农场主的产品找不到市场;千万个家庭的多年积蓄付之东流。
