第1篇 奧巴馬發(fā)表講話悼念南非國父曼德拉逝世英語演講稿
at his trial in 1964, nelson mandela closed his statement from the dock saying, 'i have foughtagainst white domination, and i have fought against black domination. i have cherished theideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and withequal opportunities. it is an ideal which i hope to live for and to achieve. but if needs be, it isan ideal for which i am prepared to die.'
納爾遜·曼德拉在1964年接受審判時(shí)在被告席上結(jié)束他的陳述時(shí)說:“我曾為反對白人統(tǒng)治而斗爭,也曾為反對黑人統(tǒng)治而斗爭。我一直珍藏著一個(gè)民主、自由的社會理想,讓所有人都生活在一個(gè)和諧共處、機(jī)會均等的社會中。我希望為這個(gè)理想而生并將其付諸實(shí)現(xiàn)。但是,如果需要,我也愿為這樣一個(gè)理想獻(xiàn)出生命。”
and nelson mandela lived for that ideal, and he made it real. he achieved more than could bee_pected of any man. today, he has gone home. and we have lost one of the most influential,courageous, and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on thisearth. he no longer belongs to us -- he belongs to the ages.
納爾遜·曼德拉為這個(gè)理想而生,并將其變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。他的成就超出了我們能夠寄望于任何一個(gè)人去取得的。今天,他安息了。而我們失去了一位我們?nèi)魏我粋€(gè)人能在這個(gè)地球上與之共渡時(shí)光的人中,最有影響力、最有勇氣、最無比善良的一位。他不再屬于我們——他屬于一個(gè)時(shí)代。
through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom ofothers, madiba transformed south africa -- and moved all of us. his journey from a prisonerto a president embodied the promise that human beings -- and countries -- can change for thebetter. his commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set ane_ample that all humanity should aspire to, whether in the lives of nations or our own personallives. and the fact that he did it all with grace and good humor, and an ability toacknowledge his own imperfections, only makes the man that much more remarkable. as heonce said, 'i am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.'
曼德拉以其強(qiáng)烈的尊嚴(yán)和為了他人的自由不惜犧牲自己的自由的不折的意志,改變了南非的面貌,并感動了我們所有人。他從一名囚徒變成一位總統(tǒng)的歷程體現(xiàn)了全人類——以及各個(gè)國家——都能變得更美好的希望。他移交權(quán)力并同那些關(guān)押他的人和解的承諾,樹立了一個(gè)全人類都應(yīng)當(dāng)追求的典范,不論是在國家生活中,還是在我們的個(gè)人生活中。而他在做到這一切時(shí)還能保持風(fēng)度和幽默,以及承認(rèn)自己的不足的能力,這使他更加卓爾不群。他曾說過:“我不是一個(gè)圣人,除非你們認(rèn)為圣人是一個(gè)不斷努力的罪人。”
i am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from nelson mandela's life. my veryfirst political action, the first thing i ever did that involved an issue or a policy or politics, was aprotest against apartheid. i studied his words and his writings. the day that he was releasedfrom prison gave me a sense of what human beings can do when they’re guided by their hopesand not by their fears. and like so many around the globe, i cannot fully imagine my own lifewithout the e_ample that nelson mandela set, and so long as i live i will do what i can to learnfrom him.
在被納爾遜·曼德拉的經(jīng)歷所激勵(lì)的億萬人中,我是其中一員。我的第一次政治行動——我所做的與一項(xiàng)議題或政策或政治有關(guān)的第一件事——就是抗議種族歧視。 我認(rèn)真研讀了他的話和他的著作。他走出監(jiān)獄的那一天,我認(rèn)識到人類能夠在自己的希望——而不是恐懼——引領(lǐng)下所能成就的事業(yè)。正如全球各地許許多多的人一 樣,我無法充分想象沒有納爾遜·曼德拉的榜樣我的生活會是怎樣。在我的有生之年,我將盡最大努力向他學(xué)習(xí)。
to graça machel and his family, michelle and i e_tend our deepest sympathy and gratitudefor sharing this e_traordinary man with us. his life’s work meant long days away from thosewho loved him the most. and i only hope that the time spent with him these last few weeksbrought peace and comfort to his family.
米歇爾和我謹(jǐn)向格拉薩·馬歇爾和曼德拉的家人致以最深沉的慰唁,并感謝他們與我們分享這位不平凡的人。他的畢生努力意味著長年累月遠(yuǎn)離最愛他的人們。我真切地希望與他共同度過的最后這幾個(gè)星期為他的家人帶來了平靜與安慰。
to the people of south africa, we draw strength from the e_ample of renewal,andreconciliation, and resilience that you made real. a free south africa at peace with itself --that’s an e_ample to the world, and that’s madiba’s legacy to the nation he loved.
對南非人民,我們要說,你們通過重生、和解與堅(jiān)毅樹立的榜樣給了我們力量。一個(gè)自由、和平的南非——這是世界的榜樣,這是“馬迪巴”(曼德拉的家族名)為他所熱愛的國家留下的遺產(chǎn)。
we will not likely see the likes of nelson mandela again. so it falls to us as best we can toforward the e_ample that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love; to neverdiscount the difference that one person can make; to strive for a future that is worthy of hissacrifice.
我們可能難以再見到像納爾遜·曼德拉這樣的偉人。因此,我們的責(zé)任是盡我們所能把他樹立的榜樣傳承下去:基于愛——而不是恨——來作決定;永遠(yuǎn)不要低估一個(gè)人所能帶來的變化;努力建設(shè)一個(gè)無愧于他的犧牲的未來。
for now, let us pause and give thanks for the fact that nelson mandela lived -- a man who tookhistory in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. may god bless hismemory and keep him in peace.
現(xiàn)在,讓我們停下來,為納爾遜·曼德拉曾經(jīng)活著而表達(dá)我們的感激之情——他用雙手握住歷史,把道德宇宙的長虹折向正義。愿上帝保佑他的記憶,使他安息。
第2篇 奧巴馬在菲尼克斯市發(fā)表關(guān)于美國住房融資體系改革英語演講稿

i want to say thank you to the thunder for hosting us here today. (applause.) well, we are soglad to be here. i want you to give it up for somebody who's been fighting for homeowners andworking families every single day, who's with me today -- secretary shaun donovan, secretaryof hud. there he is right there. give him a big round of applause. (applause.) we've gotcongressman ed pastor who's here as well. (applause.) we've got your mayor, greg stanton,here. (applause.) doing an outstanding job. and to all the mayors and state legislators andtribal leaders who are here today, thank you. (applause.)
give jorge a big round of applause for his introduction. (applause.) to your superintendent,dr. kenneth baca. (applause.) your principal, dr. anna battle. (applause.) and i appreciateeverybody at desert vista for having me here today. (applause.) it is good to see the studentsare pretty enthusiastic about being back in school. (laughter.) i'm not sure i would have beenthat enthusiastic starting on the 6th. (laughter.)
and i know this isn't your typical school -- second day of school. so i want to give a specialshout-out to the new seniors, class of 2022. (applause.) you are aware that you're not finishedyet. (laughter.) senior year, that's sometimes tempting. i want you all to stay focused.
over the past couple weeks, i have been --
audience member: happy birthday, mr. president!
the president: thank you very much. thank you. (applause.) it was my birthday two daysago. (laughter.) got some singers here.
audience: happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, mr. president. (applause.)
the president: thank you. thank you. thank you. (applause.) i am now 52, and michellesays that i don't look a day over 51. (laughter.)
so over the last few weeks, i've been visiting towns all across the country, talking about whatwe need to do to secure a better bargain for the middle class -- a national strategy to makesure that everybody who works hard has a chance to succeed in the 21st century economy.
and i think people in arizona especially understand the challenges that are out there, becausefor the past four and a half years, together, we fought our way back from a devastatingrecession that cost millions of jobs for americans. a lot of folks lost their homes; a lot of folkslost their savings. and what the recession showed was the long erosion of middle-classsecurity that had been taking place for decades.
but we fought back. we took on a broken health care system. we took on a housing market thatwas in free fall. we invested in new technologies to reverse our addiction to foreign oil. wechanged a ta_ code that had become tilted a little bit too much in favor of the wealthiestamericans at the e_pense of working families. (applause.) we saved the auto industry. we'venow got gm that plans to hire a thousand new workers right ne_t door in chandler to make surewe're building some of the best cars in the world right here in the united states of america. (applause.)
our businesses have created 7.3 million new jobs over the past 41 months. we now sell moreproducts made in america to the rest of the world than ever before. our e_ports are way up. weproduce more renewable energy than ever before, more natural gas than anybody else. healthcare costs have been growing at the slowest rate in 50 years. and our deficits are coming downat the fastest rate in 60 years. so we're making progress. (applause.)
so thanks to the efforts of a lot of people like you, we've cleared away the rubble of the financialcrisis. we're starting to lay the foundation for more stable, more durable economic growth.but as any middle-class family will tell you, we're not yet where we need to be. because evenbefore the crisis hit, we had lived through a decade where a few at the top were doing betterand better, but most families were working harder and harder just to get by.
and reversing this trend should be -- must be -- washington's highest priority. it's myhighest priority. (applause.) i want to make sure that in america, it doesn't matter what youlook like, where you come from, who you love -- you should be able to make it when you try.you should be able to make it. (applause.)
now, unfortunately, for the last year or so, we've had an endless parade of distractions andpolitical posturing and phony scandals that shift focus away from what do we need to do toshore up middle-class families and create ladders of opportunity for folks to get into themiddle class. and as washington heads towards another budget debate, the stakes could notbe higher.
and that's why i'm traveling around, laying out my ideas for how we have to build thecornerstones of what it means to be middle class: a good job with good wages; a home to callyour own; a good education; affordable health care that's there for you when you get sick; asecure retirement even if you're not rich; the opportunity -- the ladders of opportunity forpeople to earn their way into the middle class, to work their way out of poverty. those are theelements that i think all of us believe in, but right now we're not delivering as much as weshould on those promises.
now, last tuesday, i went to tennessee to talk about the first cornerstone, which is how do wemake sure that we're creating good middle-class jobs here in the united states of america.today i've come to phoeni_ to talk about the second component, which is the most tangiblecornerstone that lies at the heart of the american dream, at the heart of middle-class life -- andthat's the chance to own your own home. (applause.) the chance to own your own home.
we've got a lot of young people here who are thinking about college, they're going to get ahigher education, they're going to find a job, they're going to find somebody they love, they'regoing to want to own a home. and the reason they will is because a home is the ultimateevidence that here in america, hard work pays off, that responsibility is rewarded.
i think about my grandparents' generation. when my grandfather served in world war ii, hefought in patton's army -- when he got back, this country gave him a chance to go to college onthe g.i. bill, but it also gave him the chance to buy his first home with a loan from the fha. tohim, and to generations of americans before and since, a home was more than just a house. itwas a source of pride and a source of security. it was a place to raise kids, to put downroots; a place where you could build up savings for college, or to start a business, or to retirewith some security.
and buying a home required responsibility on everybody's part. you had to save up to buy ahome. and then banks were supposed to give you a fair deal, with terms you couldunderstand, and buyers were supposed to live within their means and make sure that theycould make their payments. so in that earlier generation, houses weren't for flipping around,they weren't for speculation -- houses were to live in, and to build a life with.
and unfortunately, over time, responsibility too often gave way to recklessness. you hadreckless lenders who sold loans to people they knew couldn't afford them. and let's face it, wealso had some reckless buyers who knew they couldn't afford them and still took out loans.and all this created a housing bubble. and especially in some places like arizona, it wasdevastating when that bubble finally burst -- triggered a recession. millions of americans whohad done everything right were hurt badly by the actions of other people. housing pricesplummeted.
by the time i took office, home values had fallen almost 20 percent from the year before. newhousing starts had fallen nearly 80 percent from their peak. hundreds of thousands ofconstruction workers had lost their jobs. a record number of people were behind on theirmortgage payments. and a lot of people here in phoeni_, they saw that devastation. this waspart of ground zero for the housing bubble bursting.
so less than a month after i took office, i came here to arizona and i laid out steps to stabilizethe housing market and help responsible homeowners get back on their feet. and the truth isit's been a long, slow process. the housing market is so big that it was going to take some timeto heal when it got hurt that badly. it's taken longer than any of us would like. but during thattime, we helped millions of americans save an average of $3,000 each year by refinancing atlower rates. we helped millions of responsible homeowners stay in their homes, which was goodfor their neighbors because you don't want a bunch of foreclosure signs in your neighborhood.
where congress wouldn't act, we went ahead and acted, so over the past few years, we had thedepartment of justice stand up for buyers who had been discriminated against or conned bypredatory lending. and we won a settlement that gave more money to victims ofdiscrimination in one year than in the previous 23 years combined. (applause.)
we worked with states to force big banks to repay more than $50 billion to more than 1.5million families -- largest lending settlement in history. (applause.) we e_tended the time thatfolks who had lost their jobs could delay their payment on their mortgages while they keptlooking for work. we cracked down on the bad practices that led to the crisis in the first place. imean, you had some loans back there in the bubble that were called “liar's loan.” now,something that's called a liar's loan is probably a bad idea. (laughter.)
so because of all these actions we've been taking, our housing market is beginning to heal.home prices are rising at the fastest pace in seven years. sales are up nearly 50 percent.construction is up nearly 75 percent. new foreclosures are down by nearly two-thirds. millions offamilies have been able to come up for air -- they're no longer underwater on their mortgages. (applause.)
and just like the crisis hit phoeni_ very hard, thanks to some great leadership here locally,phoeni_ has also led one of the biggest comebacks in the country. (applause.) so you should beproud of what you've done here. home prices in phoeni_ have risen by nearly 20 percent overthe last year. new home sales are up by more than 25 percent.
this morning, right before i came here, i visited erickson construction -- (applause.) we'vegot some erickson folks here. and they were e_plaining how right when the bubble hit,erickson shrank to less than a hundred workers. today they're employing 580 people -- andthey're hiring even more people -- (applause) -- because the housing market is bouncing back.
so that's one of the things about housing. it's not just important for the person who owns thehouse; our economy is so impacted by everything that happens in housing. consumers feelbetter when their home values are in a better place, so they're more willing to spend. a lot ofpeople who want to start a business, their savings may be locked up in their house.construction workers, contractors, suppliers, carpet makers, all these folks are impacted by thehousing industry.
so we've made progress, and that's helped to move the economy forward. but we've got tobuild on this progress. we're not where we need to be yet. we've got to give more hardworkingamericans the chance to buy their first home. (applause.) we have to help more responsiblehomeowners refinance their mortgages, because a lot of them still have a spread between therates they're paying right now on their mortgage and what they could be getting if they wereable to refinance.
and we've got to turn the page on this kind of bubble-and-bust mentality that helped tocreate this mess in the first place. (applause.) we got to build a housing system that isdurable and fair and rewards responsibility for generations to come. that's what we've got todo. (applause.)
so i've already put forward a bunch of ideas that will help accomplish that. and, look, the factof the matter is congress hasn't enacted all of them, so i'd like you to encourage members ofcongress to take some of these actions. (applause.)
but like the other actions that we've taken, these will not help the neighbors down the streetwho bought a house that they couldn't afford, and then walked away from it and left aforeclosed home behind. we don't want to help speculators who bought multiple homes just tomake a quick buck.
what we want to do is put forward ideas that will help millions of responsible, middle-classhomeowners who still need relief. and we want to help hardworking americans who dream ofowning their own home fair and square, have a down payment, are willing to make thosepayments, understand that owning a home requires responsibility. and there are someimmediate actions we could take right now that would help on that front, that would make adifference. so let me just list a couple of them.
number one: congress should pass a good, bipartisan idea to allow every homeowner thechance to save thousands of dollars a year by refinancing their mortgage at today's rates. (applause.) we need to get that done. we've been talking about it for a year and a half, twoyears, three years. there's no reason not to do it. (applause.)
step number two: now that we've made it harder for reckless buyers to buy homes that theycan't afford, let's make it a little bit easier for qualified buyers to buy the homes that they canafford. (applause.) so shaun donovan has been working with the finance industry to make surewe're simplifying overlapping regulations; we're cutting red tape for responsible families whowant to get a mortgage but keep getting rejected by the banks. we need to give well-qualified americans who lost their jobs during the crisis a fair chance to get a loan if they'veworked hard to repair their credit.
and step three is something that you don't always hear about when it comes to the housingmarket, and that is fi_ing our broken immigration system. it would actually help our housingmarket. (applause.)
it's pretty simple: when more people buy homes and play by the rules, home values go up foreverybody. and according to one recent study, the average homeowner has already seen thevalue of their home boosted by thousands of dollars just because of immigration. and the goodnews is, with the help of your senators, john mccain and jeff flake, the senate has alreadypassed a bipartisan immigration bill. it's got the support of ceos and labor and lawenforcement. (applause.) this could help homeownership here.
so i want you to encourage republicans in the house of representatives to stop draggingtheir feet. let's go ahead and get this done.
step number four: we should address the uneven recovery by rebuilding the communities hitthe hardest by the housing crisis, including many right here in arizona. let's put constructionback -- construction workers back to work repairing rundown homes, tearing down vacantproperties so that the value of homes in those surrounding areas start picking up. we can putpeople to work right now and improve the remaining housing stock that's out there. (applause.) places that are facing a longer road back from the crisis should have their country'shelp to get back on their feet.
step five: we should make sure families that don't want to buy a home or can't yet afford tobuy one still have a decent place to rent. (applause.) it's important for us to encouragehomeownership, but a lot of people rent and there's nothing wrong with renting. and we got tomake sure that we are creating affordable opportunities when it comes to rental properties.
in the run-up to the crisis, banks and governments too often made everybody feel like they hadto own a home, even if they weren't ready and didn't have the payments. that's a mistake weshould not repeat. instead, let's invest in affordable rental housing. let's bring together citiesand states to address local barriers that drive up rents for working families. (applause.)
so if we help more americans refinance their homes, if we help qualified families get amortgage, we reform our immigration system, we rebuild the hardest-hit communities, wemake sure that folks have a decent place to rent if they're not yet able to buy -- all these stepswill give more middle-class families the chance to either buy their own home now or eventuallybuy their own home. it's going to give more relief to responsible homeowners. it gives moreoptions to families who aren't yet ready to buy. all that is going to improve the housing marketand will improve the economy.
but -- and this is the last key point i want to make -- as home prices rise, we can't just re-inflate another housing bubble. i hope everybody here in arizona learned some hard lessonsfrom what happened. housing prices generally don't just keep on going up forever at the kindof pace it was going up. it was crazy. so what we want to do is something stable and steady.and that's why i want to lay a rock-solid foundation to make sure the kind of crisis we wentthrough never happens again. we've got to make sure it doesn't happen again. (applause.)
and one of the key things to make sure it doesn't happen again is to wind down thesecompanies that are not really government, but not really private sector -- they're known asfreddie mac and fannie mae. for too long, these companies were allowed to make huge profitsbuying mortgages, knowing that if their bets went bad, ta_payers would be left holding thebag. it was “heads we win, tails you lose.” and it was wrong. and along with what happened onwall street, it helped to inflate this bubble in a way that ultimately killed main street.
so the good news is, right now there's a bipartisan group of senators working to end fannie andfreddie as we know them. and i support these kinds of reform efforts. and they're followingfour core principles for what i believe this reform should look like.
first, private capital should take a bigger role in the mortgage market. i know that soundsconfusing to folks who call me a socialist -- i think i saw some posters there on the way in. (laughter.) but i actually believe in the free market. and just like the health care law that weput in place, obamacare -- (applause) -- which, by the way, if you don't have healthinsurance or you're buying it at e_orbitant rates on the individual market, starting on october1st, you can join a marketplace and be part of a pool that gives you much lower premiums,saves you a lot of money. (applause.)
but in the same way that what we did with health care was to set up clear rules for insurancecompanies to protect consumers, make it more affordable, but still built on the privatemarketplace, i believe that our housing system should operate where there's a limitedgovernment role and private lending should be the backbone of the housing market. and thatincludes, by the way, community-based lenders who view their borrowers not as a number, butas a neighbor. so that's one principle.
a second principle is we can't leave ta_payers on the hook for irresponsibility or baddecisions by some of these lenders or fannie mae or freddie mac. (applause.) we've got toencourage the pursuit of profit, but the era of e_pecting a bailout after you pursue your profitand you don't manage your risk well -- well, that puts the whole country at risk. and we'reending those days. we're not going to do that anymore. (applause.)
the third principle is we should preserve access to safe and simple mortgage products likethe 30-year, fi_ed-rate mortgage. that's something families should be able to rely on whenthey're making the most important purchase of their lives. (applause.)
number four, we've got to keep housing affordable for first-time homebuyers -- like all theseyoung people. when they're ready to buy a house, we've got to make sure it's affordable.families who are working to climb their way into the middle class, we've got to do what we canto make housing affordable. and that means we've got to strengthen the fha so it givestoday's families the same kind of chance it gave my grandparents to buy a home, and itpreserves those rungs on the ladder of opportunity.
and we've got to support, as i said, affordable rental housing. and, by the way, we've also gotto keep up our fight against homelessness. (applause.) the mayor of phoeni_ has been doing agreat job here in phoeni_ on that front. we've got to continue to improve it. (applause.)
since i took office, we helped bring one in four homeless veterans off the streets. (applause.)we should be proud of that. here in phoeni_, thanks to the hard work of everyone from mayorstanton to the local united way to us airways, you're on track to end chronic homelessnessfor veterans, period, by 2022. (applause.)
but we've got to keep going, because nobody in america, and certainly no veteran, should beleft to live on the streets. (applause.)
so here's the bottom line: put all these principles together, that's going to protect our entireeconomy and it will improve the housing market not just here in phoeni_, but throughout thestate and throughout the country.
we're also going to need to make sure, though, that we're protecting individual homeowners.we've got to give them the tools that they can protect themselves. so we've got a consumerfinance protection bureau that we created. (applause.) and it's laying down new rules of theroad that everybody can count on when they're shopping for a mortgage. they're designing anew, simple mortgage form that will be in plain english, so you can actually read it without alawyer -- (applause) -- although, you may still want a lawyer obviously. i'm not saying youdon't. i'm just saying you'll be able to read it. (laughter.) there won't be a lot of fine print.that way you know before you owe. (laughter and applause.)
and the senate finally confirmed richard cordray as the head of this -- head watchdog for thecfpb. (applause.) so he's out there aggressively protecting consumers and homeowners.
when it comes to some of the other leaders we need to look out for the american people, thesenate still has a job to do. months ago, i nominated a man named mel watt to be our nation'stop housing regulator. he is an outstanding member of congress. and during that time, hewas on the housing committee -- worked with banks, worked with borrowers to protectconsumers, to help responsible lenders provide credit. he is the right person for the job.congress and the senate should give his nomination an up or down vote without any moreobstruction or delay. we don't have time for those kinds of games. (applause.)
so i want to be honest with you. no program or policy is going to solve all the problems in amulti-trillion dollar housing market. the housing bubble went up so high, the heights itreached before it burst were so unsustainable, that we knew it was going to take some time forus to fully recover. but if we take the steps that i talked about today, then i know we willrestore not just our home values, but also our common values. we'll make owning a home asymbol of responsibility, not speculation -- a source of security for generations to come,just like it was for my grandparents. i want it to be just like that for all the young people whoare here today and their children and their grandchildren. (applause.)
and if we stay focused on middle-class security and opportunities to get into the middle class,if we take the strategy that i'm laying out for the entire economy -- for jobs and housing andeducation, health care, retirement, creating ladders of opportunity -- then we will secure thatbetter bargain for all americans, where hard work is once again rewarded with a shot at amiddle-class life, which means more americans will know the pride of that first paycheck. moreamericans will know the satisfaction of flipping the sign to “open” on their own business. moreamericans will know the joy of scratching the child's height on the door of their new home --with pencil, of course. (laughter.)
we can do all this if we work together. and it won't be easy. but if we take just a few boldsteps -- and if washington will just end the gridlock, set aside the slash-and-burn partisanship-- (applause) -- actually try to solve problems instead of scoring political points, our economywill grow stronger a year from now, five years from now, 10 years from now. (applause.)
and as long as i've got the privilege to serve as your president, that's what i'm going to befighting for.
thank you very much, everybody. god bless you. (applause.)
第3篇 卡梅倫首相府發(fā)表的勝選英語演講稿
i’ve just been to see her majesty the queen, and i will now form a majority conservative government.
i’ve been proud to lead the first coalition government in 70 years, and i want to thank all thosewho worked so hard to make it a success; and in particular, on this day, nick clegg. electionscan be bruising clashes of ideas and arguments, and a lot of people who believe profoundly inpublic service have seen that service cut short. ed miliband rang me this morning to wish meluck with the new government; it was a typically generous gesture from someone who isclearly in public service for all the right reasons.
the government i led did important work: it laid the foundations for a better future, and nowwe must build on them. i truly believe we’re on the brink of something special in our country;we can make britain a place where a good life is in reach for everyone who is willing to workand do the right thing. our manifesto is a manifesto for working people, and as a majoritygovernment we will be able to deliver all of it; indeed, it is the reason why i think majoritygovernment is more accountable.
three million apprenticeships; more help with childcare; helping 30 million people cope with thecost of living by cutting their ta_es; building homes that people are able to buy and own;creating millions more jobs that give people the chance of a better future. and yes, we willdeliver that in/out referendum on our future in europe.
as we conduct this vital work, we must ensure that we bring our country together. as i said inthe small hours of this morning, we will govern as a party of one nation, one united kingdom.that means ensuring this recovery reaches all parts of our country: from north to south, fromeast to west. and indeed, it means rebalancing our economy, building that “northernpowerhouse”. it means giving everyone in our country a chance, so no matter where you’re fromyou have the opportunity to make the most of your life. it means giving the poorest peoplethe chance of training, a job, and hope for the future. it means that for children who don’t getthe best start in life, there must be the nursery education and good schooling that cantransform their life chances. and of course, it means bringing together the different nations ofour united kingdom.
i have always believed in governing with respect. that’s why in the last parliament, we devolvedpower to scotland and wales, and gave the people of scotland a referendum on whether to stayinside the united kingdom. in this parliament i will stay true to my word and implement asfast as i can the devolution that all parties agreed for wales, scotland and northern ireland.
governing with respect means recognising that the different nations of our united kingdomhave their own governments, as well as the united kingdom government. both are important,and indeed with our plans, the governments of these nations will become more powerful, withwider responsibilities. in scotland, our plans are to create the strongest devolved governmentanywhere in the world with important powers over ta_ation. and no constitutional settlementwill be complete, if it did not offer, also, fairness to england.
when i stood here 5 years ago, our country was in the grip of an economic crisis. five years on,britain is so much stronger, but the real opportunities lie ahead. everything i’ve seen over thelast 5 years, and indeed, during this election campaign, has proved once again that this is acountry with unrivalled skills and creativeness; a country with such good humour, and suchgreat compassion, and i’m convinced that if we draw on all of this, then we can take theseislands, with our proud history, and build an even prouder future.
together we can make great britain greater still. thank you.
第4篇 美國國務(wù)卿克里發(fā)表視頻致辭紀(jì)念911事件英語演講稿
i just wanted to touch base with all of you in the department and usaid as we all together stop and think about september 11th. this is a tough day on the calendar for all of us, obviously, because it’s so much more than just any day on any calendar. none of us will ever forget where we were 13 years ago when we were attacked here at home and lost thousands of americans, just as we all remember two years ago when we were attacked in benghazi and lost four of our colleagues and friends – ambassador chris stevens, sean smith, glen doherty, and tyrone woods – brave and dedicated professionals, men whose commitment to serve brought them to a dangerous corner of the world, not because they were unaware of the danger but because they wanted to make it safer for so many people whose lives are connected to our own.
there’s much that we’ve been reminded of from those two terrible days, whether it’s howamerica never rests until murderers are brought to justice, whether it’s usama bin ladin orahmad abu khattalah, or that always, always we find ways to keep our people as safe as we canin a dangerous world, and the arb implementation and the daily wrestling with riskmanagement underscore how much that effort is central to all of our lives. 9/11/2022 and9/11/2022, these were both days that forever changed us as people, as public servants, and asa country. but particularly when we look up at the flags raised at half-staff today, we have tofind ways to make sure that we carry on in the spirit of those we lost and that we find someways – big or small – to find lessons in terrible losses.
the truth is more than ever the world needs more of the passion and the persistence and thedrive that enlisted chris stevens and so many of you in the great enterprise of diplomacyand service. and the very issues we’re wrestling with right now in iraq, in syria, still in libya, orthe scourge of isil, and across the greater middle east and north africa and many otherplaces all remind us of the importance of the work that our country leads, not just for ourcountry but for every country.
so while we honor the lives of those we lost on these two 9/11s – and i hope you’ll honor themin your own way, whether it’s a short prayer or a reflection or sending an email to someoneyou know who was directly affected on either day to let them know you’re thinking of them – ihope you’ll also never lose sight of why we, all of us, have chosen the life of public service. as imentioned last year, there is a special saying that i learned a long time ago which has gottenme through some particularly tough losses: every day is e_tra. life can change and even end ina minute, so those of us who are lucky to have today and many more days must make the mostof those e_tra days, our e_tra days, and our time here to continue the work of those we lost andto be proud of what they represent, and to renew as well our special pledge to continue on intheir memory, today and tomorrow and every day.
take care.
第5篇 奧巴馬總統(tǒng)發(fā)表任內(nèi)最后一次國情咨文英語演講稿
mr. speaker, mr. vice president, members of congress, my fellow americans:
tonight marks the eighth year i've come here to report on the state of the union. and for thisfinal one, i'm going to try to make it shorter. i know some of you are antsy to get back to iowa.
i also understand that because it's an election season, e_pectations for what we'll achievethis year are low. still, mr. speaker, i appreciate the constructive approach you and theother leaders took at the end of last year to pass a budget and make ta_ cuts permanent forworking families. so i hope we can work together this year on bipartisan priorities like criminaljustice reform, and helping people who are battling prescription drug abuse. we just mightsurprise the cynics again.
but tonight, i want to go easy on the traditional list of proposals for the year ahead. don'tworry, i've got plenty, from helping students learn to write computer code to personalizingmedical treatments for patients. and i'll keep pushing for progress on the work that still needsdoing. fi_ing a broken immigration system. protecting our kids from gun violence. equal payfor equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. all these things still matter tohardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and i will not let up until they getdone.
but for my final address to this chamber, i don't want to talk just about the ne_t year. i wantto focus on the ne_t five years, ten years, and beyond.
i want to focus on our future.
we live in a time of e_traordinary change – change that's reshaping the way we live, the waywe work, our planet and our place in the world. it's change that promises amazing medicalbreakthroughs, but also economic disruptions that strain working families. it promiseseducation for girls in the most remote villages, but also connects terrorists plotting an oceanaway. it's change that can broaden opportunity, or widen inequality. and whether we like itor not, the pace of this change will only accelerate.
america has been through big changes before – wars and depression, the influ_ ofimmigrants, workers fighting for a fair deal, and movements to e_pand civil rights. each time,there have been those who told us to fear the future; who claimed we could slam the brakes onchange, promising to restore past glory if we just got some group or idea that wasthreatening america under control. and each time, we overcame those fears. we did not, inthe words of lincoln, adhere to the “dogmas of the quiet past.” instead we thought anew, andacted anew. we made change work for us, always e_tending america's promise outward, to thene_t frontier, to more and more people. and because we did – because we saw opportunitywhere others saw only peril – we emerged stronger and better than before.
what was true then can be true now. our unique strengths as a nation – our optimism andwork ethic, our spirit of discovery and innovation, our diversity and commitment to the ruleof law – these things give us everything we need to ensure prosperity and security forgenerations to come.
in fact, it's that spirit that made the progress of these past seven years possible. it's how werecovered from the worst economic crisis in generations. it's how we reformed our health caresystem, and reinvented our energy sector; how we delivered more care and benefits to ourtroops and veterans, and how we secured the freedom in every state to marry the person welove.
but such progress is not inevitable. it is the result of choices we make together. and we facesuch choices right now. will we respond to the changes of our time with fear, turning inward asa nation, and turning against each other as a people? or will we face the future withconfidence in who we are, what we stand for, and the incredible things we can do together?
so let's talk about the future, and four big questions that we as a country have to answer –regardless of who the ne_t president is, or who controls the ne_t congress.
first, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy?
second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comesto solving urgent challenges like climate change?
third, how do we keep america safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?
and finally, how can we make our politics reflect what's best in us, and not what's worst?
let me start with the economy, and a basic fact: the united states of america, right now, hasthe strongest, most durable economy in the world. we're in the middle of the longest streakof private-sector job creation in history. more than 14 million new jobs; the strongest two yearsof job growth since the ‘90s; an unemployment rate cut in half. our auto industry just had itsbest year ever. manufacturing has created nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past si_ years. andwe've done all this while cutting our deficits by almost three-quarters.
anyone claiming that america's economy is in decline is peddling fiction. what is true – andthe reason that a lot of americans feel an_ious – is that the economy has been changing inprofound ways, changes that started long before the great recession hit and haven't let up.today, technology doesn't just replace jobs on the assembly line, but any job where work canbe automated. companies in a global economy can locate anywhere, and face toughercompetition. as a result, workers have less leverage for a raise. companies have less loyaltyto their communities. and more and more wealth and income is concentrated at the very top.
all these trends have squeezed workers, even when they have jobs; even when the economy isgrowing. it's made it harder for a hardworking family to pull itself out of poverty, harder foryoung people to start on their careers, and tougher for workers to retire when they want to. andalthough none of these trends are unique to america, they do offend our uniquely americanbelief that everybody who works hard should get a fair shot.
for the past seven years, our goal has been a growing economy that works better for everybody.we've made progress. but we need to make more. and despite all the political arguments we'vehad these past few years, there are some areas where americans broadly agree.
we agree that real opportunity requires every american to get the education and training theyneed to land a good-paying job. the bipartisan reform of no child left behind was animportant start, and together, we've increased early childhood education, lifted high schoolgraduation rates to new highs, and boosted graduates in fields like engineering. in the comingyears, we should build on that progress, by providing pre-k for all, offering every student thehands-on computer science and math classes that make them job-ready on day one, and weshould recruit and support more great teachers for our kids.
and we have to make college affordable for every american. because no hardworking studentshould be stuck in the red. we've already reduced student loan payments to ten percent of aborrower's income. now, we've actually got to cut the cost of college. providing two years ofcommunity college at no cost for every responsible student is one of the best ways to do that,and i'm going to keep fighting to get that started this year.
of course, a great education isn't all we need in this new economy. we also need benefits andprotections that provide a basic measure of security. after all, it's not much of a stretch tosay that some of the only people in america who are going to work the same job, in the sameplace, with a health and retirement package, for 30 years, are sitting in this chamber. foreveryone else, especially folks in their forties and fifties, saving for retirement or bouncing backfrom job loss has gotten a lot tougher. americans understand that at some point in theircareers, they may have to retool and retrain. but they shouldn't lose what they've alreadyworked so hard to build.
that's why social security and medicare are more important than ever; we shouldn't weakenthem, we should strengthen them. and for americans short of retirement, basic benefitsshould be just as mobile as everything else is today. that's what the affordable care act is allabout. it's about filling the gaps in employer-based care so that when we lose a job, or go backto school, or start that new business, we'll still have coverage. nearly eighteen million havegained coverage so far. health care inflation has slowed. and our businesses have created jobsevery single month since it became law.
now, i'm guessing we won't agree on health care anytime soon. but there should be other waysboth parties can improve economic security. say a hardworking american loses his job – weshouldn't just make sure he can get unemployment insurance; we should make sure thatprogram encourages him to retrain for a business that's ready to hire him. if that new jobdoesn't pay as much, there should be a system of wage insurance in place so that he can stillpay his bills. and even if he's going from job to job, he should still be able to save forretirement and take his savings with him. that's the way we make the new economy workbetter for everyone.
i also know speaker ryan has talked about his interest in tackling poverty. america is aboutgiving everybody willing to work a hand up, and i'd welcome a serious discussion aboutstrategies we can all support, like e_panding ta_ cuts for low-income workers without kids.
but there are other areas where it's been more difficult to find agreement over the last sevenyears – namely what role the government should play in making sure the system's not rigged infavor of the wealthiest and biggest corporations. and here, the american people have a choiceto make.
i believe a thriving private sector is the lifeblood of our economy. i think there are outdatedregulations that need to be changed, and there's red tape that needs to be cut. but after yearsof record corporate profits, working families won't get more opportunity or bigger paychecksby letting big banks or big oil or hedge funds make their own rules at the e_pense of everyoneelse; or by allowing attacks on collective bargaining to go unanswered. food stamp recipientsdidn't cause the financial crisis; recklessness on wall street did. immigrants aren't the reasonwages haven't gone up enough; those decisions are made in the boardrooms that too often putquarterly earnings over long-term returns. it's sure not the average family watching tonightthat avoids paying ta_es through offshore accounts. in this new economy, workers and start-upsand small businesses need more of a voice, not less. the rules should work for them. and thisyear i plan to lift up the many businesses who've figured out that doing right by their workersends up being good for their shareholders, their customers, and their communities, so that wecan spread those best practices across america.
in fact, many of our best corporate citizens are also our most creative. this brings me to thesecond big question we have to answer as a country: how do we reignite that spirit ofinnovation to meet our biggest challenges?
si_ty years ago, when the russians beat us into space, we didn't deny sputnik was up there.we didn't argue about the science, or shrink our research and development budget. we built aspace program almost overnight, and twelve years later, we were walking on the moon.
that spirit of discovery is in our dna. we're thomas edison and the wright brothers andgeorge washington carver. we're grace hopper and katherine johnson and sally ride. we'reevery immigrant and entrepreneur from boston to austin to silicon valley racing to shape abetter world. and over the past seven years, we've nurtured that spirit.
we've protected an open internet, and taken bold new steps to get more students and low-income americans online. we've launched ne_t-generation manufacturing hubs, and online toolsthat give an entrepreneur everything he or she needs to start a business in a single day.
but we can do so much more. last year, vice president biden said that with a new moonshot,america can cure cancer. last month, he worked with this congress to give scientists at thenational institutes of health the strongest resources they've had in over a decade. tonight, i'mannouncing a new national effort to get it done. and because he's gone to the mat for all of us,on so many issues over the past forty years, i'm putting joe in charge of mission control. forthe loved ones we've all lost, for the family we can still save, let's make america the countrythat cures cancer once and for all.
medical research is critical. we need the same level of commitment when it comes todeveloping clean energy sources.
look, if anybody still wants to dispute the science around climate change, have at it. you'll bepretty lonely, because you'll be debating our military, most of america's business leaders, themajority of the american people, almost the entire scientific community, and 200 nationsaround the world who agree it's a problem and intend to solve it.
but even if the planet wasn't at stake; even if 2022 wasn't the warmest year on record – until2022 turned out even hotter – why would we want to pass up the chance for americanbusinesses to produce and sell the energy of the future?
seven years ago, we made the single biggest investment in clean energy in our history. hereare the results. in fields from iowa to te_as, wind power is now cheaper than dirtier,conventional power. on rooftops from arizona to new york, solar is saving americans tens ofmillions of dollars a year on their energy bills, and employs more americans than coal – in jobsthat pay better than average. we're taking steps to give homeowners the freedom to generateand store their own energy – something environmentalists and tea partiers have teamed up tosupport. meanwhile, we've cut our imports of foreign oil by nearly si_ty percent, and cut carbonpollution more than any other country on earth.
gas under two bucks a gallon ain't bad, either.
now we've got to accelerate the transition away from dirty energy. rather than subsidizethe past, we should invest in the future – especially in communities that rely on fossil fuels.that's why i'm going to push to change the way we manage our oil and coal resources, so thatthey better reflect the costs they impose on ta_payers and our planet. that way, we putmoney back into those communities and put tens of thousands of americans to work building a21st century transportation system.
none of this will happen overnight, and yes, there are plenty of entrenched interests whowant to protect the status quo. but the jobs we'll create, the money we'll save, and the planetwe'll preserve – that's the kind of future our kids and grandkids deserve.
climate change is just one of many issues where our security is linked to the rest of the world.and that's why the third big question we have to answer is how to keep america safe andstrong without either isolating ourselves or trying to nation-build everywhere there's a problem.
i told you earlier all the talk of america's economic decline is political hot air. well, so is all therhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger and america getting weaker. the unitedstates of america is the most powerful nation on earth. period. it's not even close. we spendmore on our military than the ne_t eight nations combined. our troops are the finest fightingforce in the history of the world. no nation dares to attack us or our allies because they knowthat's the path to ruin. surveys show our standing around the world is higher than when i waselected to this office, and when it comes to every important international issue, people of theworld do not look to beijing or moscow to lead – they call us.
as someone who begins every day with an intelligence briefing, i know this is a dangeroustime. but that's not because of diminished american strength or some looming superpower. intoday's world, we're threatened less by evil empires and more by failing states. the middle eastis going through a transformation that will play out for a generation, rooted in conflicts thatdate back millennia. economic headwinds blow from a chinese economy in transition. even astheir economy contracts, russia is pouring resources to prop up ukraine and syria – states theysee slipping away from their orbit. and the international system we built after world war ii isnow struggling to keep pace with this new reality.
it's up to us to help remake that system. and that means we have to set priorities.
priority number one is protecting the american people and going after terrorist networks. bothal qaeda and now isil pose a direct threat to our people, because in today's world, even ahandful of terrorists who place no value on human life, including their own, can do a lot ofdamage. they use the internet to poison the minds of individuals inside our country; theyundermine our allies.
but as we focus on destroying isil, over-the-top claims that this is world war iii just play intotheir hands. masses of fighters on the back of pickup trucks and twisted souls plotting inapartments or garages pose an enormous danger to civilians and must be stopped. but theydo not threaten our national e_istence. that's the story isil wants to tell; that's the kind ofpropaganda they use to recruit. we don't need to build them up to show that we're serious,nor do we need to push away vital allies in this fight by echoing the lie that isil isrepresentative of one of the world's largest religions. we just need to call them what they are– killers and fanatics who have to be rooted out, hunted down, and destroyed.
that's e_actly what we are doing. for more than a year, america has led a coalition of morethan 60 countries to cut off isil's financing, disrupt their plots, stop the flow of terroristfighters, and stamp out their vicious ideology. with nearly 10,000 air strikes, we are takingout their leadership, their oil, their training camps, and their weapons. we are training, arming,and supporting forces who are steadily reclaiming territory in iraq and syria.
if this congress is serious about winning this war, and wants to send a message to our troopsand the world, you should finally authorize the use of military force against isil. take a vote.but the american people should know that with or without congressional action, isil will learnthe same lessons as terrorists before them. if you doubt america's commitment – or mine – tosee that justice is done, ask osama bin laden. ask the leader of al qaeda in yemen, who wastaken out last year, or the perpetrator of the benghazi attacks, who sits in a prison cell. whenyou come after americans, we go after you. it may take time, but we have long memories, andour reach has no limit.
our foreign policy must be focused on the threat from isil and al qaeda, but it can't stopthere. for even without isil, instability will continue for decades in many parts of the world –in the middle east, in afghanistan and pakistan, in parts of central america, africa and asia.some of these places may become safe havens for new terrorist networks; others will fall victimto ethnic conflict, or famine, feeding the ne_t wave of refugees. the world will look to us tohelp solve these problems, and our answer needs to be more than tough talk or calls to carpetbomb civilians. that may work as a tv sound bite, but it doesn't pass muster on the worldstage.
we also can't try to take over and rebuild every country that falls into crisis. that's notleadership; that's a recipe for quagmire, spilling american blood and treasure that ultimatelyweakens us. it's the lesson of vietnam, of iraq – and we should have learned it by now.
fortunately, there's a smarter approach, a patient and disciplined strategy that uses everyelement of our national power. it says america will always act, alone if necessary, to protectour people and our allies; but on issues of global concern, we will mobilize the world to workwith us, and make sure other countries pull their own weight.
that's our approach to conflicts like syria, where we're partnering with local forces and leadinginternational efforts to help that broken society pursue a lasting peace.
that's why we built a global coalition, with sanctions and principled diplomacy, to prevent anuclear-armed iran. as we speak, iran has rolled back its nuclear program, shipped out itsuranium stockpile, and the world has avoided another war.
that's how we stopped the spread of ebola in west africa. our military, our doctors, and ourdevelopment workers set up the platform that allowed other countries to join us in stampingout that epidemic.
that's how we forged a trans-pacific partnership to open markets, protect workers and theenvironment, and advance american leadership in asia. it cuts 18,000 ta_es on products madein america, and supports more good jobs. with tpp, china doesn't set the rules in that region,we do. you want to show our strength in this century? approve this agreement. give us thetools to enforce it.
fifty years of isolating cuba had failed to promote democracy, setting us back in latinamerica. that's why we restored diplomatic relations, opened the door to travel andcommerce, and positioned ourselves to improve the lives of the cuban people. you want toconsolidate our leadership and credibility in the hemisphere? recognize that the cold waris over. lift the embargo.
american leadership in the 21st century is not a choice between ignoring the rest of the world –e_cept when we kill terrorists; or occupying and rebuilding whatever society is unraveling.leadership means a wise application of military power, and rallying the world behind causesthat are right. it means seeing our foreign assistance as part of our national security, notcharity. when we lead nearly 200 nations to the most ambitious agreement in history to fightclimate change – that helps vulnerable countries, but it also protects our children. when wehelp ukraine defend its democracy, or colombia resolve a decades-long war, thatstrengthens the international order we depend upon. when we help african countries feed theirpeople and care for the sick, that prevents the ne_t pandemic from reaching our shores. rightnow, we are on track to end the scourge of hiv/aids, and we have the capacity toaccomplish the same thing with malaria – something i'll be pushing this congress to fund thisyear.
that's strength. that's leadership. and that kind of leadership depends on the power of oure_ample. that is why i will keep working to shut down the prison at guantanamo: it'se_pensive, it's unnecessary, and it only serves as a recruitment brochure for our enemies.
that's why we need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. thisisn't a matter of political correctness. it's a matter of understanding what makes us strong. theworld respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our opennessand the way we respect every faith. his holiness, pope francis, told this body from the very spoti stand tonight that “to imitate the hatred and violence of tyrants and murderers is the bestway to take their place.” when politicians insult muslims, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kidbullied, that doesn't make us safer. that's not telling it like it is. it's just wrong. it diminishesus in the eyes of the world. it makes it harder to achieve our goals. and it betrays who we areas a country.
“we the people.” our constitution begins with those three simple words, words we've come torecognize mean all the people, not just some; words that insist we rise and fall together. thatbrings me to the fourth, and maybe the most important thing i want to say tonight.
the future we want – opportunity and security for our families; a rising standard of living anda sustainable, peaceful planet for our kids – all that is within our reach. but it will only happenif we work together. it will only happen if we can have rational, constructive debates.
it will only happen if we fi_ our politics.
a better politics doesn't mean we have to agree on everything. this is a big country, withdifferent regions and attitudes and interests. that's one of our strengths, too. our foundersdistributed power between states and branches of government, and e_pected us to argue, justas they did, over the size and shape of government, over commerce and foreign relations, overthe meaning of liberty and the imperatives of security.
but democracy does require basic bonds of trust between its citizens. it doesn't work if wethink the people who disagree with us are all motivated by malice, or that our politicalopponents are unpatriotic. democracy grinds to a halt without a willingness to compromise;or when even basic facts are contested, and we listen only to those who agree with us. ourpublic life withers when only the most e_treme voices get attention. most of all, democracybreaks down when the average person feels their voice doesn't matter; that the system isrigged in favor of the rich or the powerful or some narrow interest.
too many americans feel that way right now. it's one of the few regrets of my presidency – thatthe rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better. there's nodoubt a president with the gifts of lincoln or roosevelt might have better bridged the divide,and i guarantee i'll keep trying to be better so long as i hold this office.
but, my fellow americans, this cannot be my task – or any president's – alone. there are awhole lot of folks in this chamber who would like to see more cooperation, a more elevateddebate in washington, but feel trapped by the demands of getting elected. i know; you've toldme. and if we want a better politics, it's not enough to just change a congressman or a senatoror even a president; we have to change the system to reflect our better selves.
we have to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can picktheir voters, and not the other way around. we have to reduce the influence of money in ourpolitics, so that a handful of families and hidden interests can't bankroll our elections – and ifour e_isting approach to campaign finance can't pass muster in the courts, we need to worktogether to find a real solution. we've got to make voting easier, not harder, and modernizeit for the way we live now. and over the course of this year, i intend to travel the country topush for reforms that do.
but i can't do these things on my own. changes in our political process – in not just who getselected but how they get elected – that will only happen when the american people demand it.it will depend on you. that's what's meant by a government of, by, and for the people.
what i'm asking for is hard. it's easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn't possible, andpolitics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don't matter. but if we give upnow, then we forsake a better future. those with money and power will gain greater controlover the decisions that could send a young soldier to war, or allow another economic disaster,or roll back the equal rights and voting rights that generations of americans have fought, evendied, to secure. as frustration grows, there will be voices urging us to fall back into tribes, toscapegoat fellow citizens who don't look like us, or pray like us, or vote like we do, or share thesame background.
we can't afford to go down that path. it won't deliver the economy we want, or the security wewant, but most of all, it contradicts everything that makes us the envy of the world.
so, my fellow americans, whatever you may believe, whether you prefer one party or no party,our collective future depends on your willingness to uphold your obligations as a citizen. tovote. to speak out. to stand up for others, especially the weak, especially the vulnerable,knowing that each of us is only here because somebody, somewhere, stood up for us. to stayactive in our public life so it reflects the goodness and decency and optimism that i see in theamerican people every single day.
it won't be easy. our brand of democracy is hard. but i can promise that a year from now,when i no longer hold this office, i'll be right there with you as a citizen – inspired by thosevoices of fairness and vision, of grit and good humor and kindness that have helped americatravel so far. voices that help us see ourselves not first and foremost as black or white or asianor latino, not as gay or straight, immigrant or native born; not as democrats or republicans,but as americans first, bound by a common creed. voices dr. king believed would have the finalword – voices of unarmed truth and unconditional love.
they're out there, those voices. they don't get a lot of attention, nor do they seek it, but theyare busy doing the work this country needs doing.
i see them everywhere i travel in this incredible country of ours. i see you. i know you'rethere. you're the reason why i have such incredible confidence in our future. because i seeyour quiet, sturdy citizenship all the time.
i see it in the worker on the assembly line who clocked e_tra shifts to keep his company open,and the boss who pays him higher wages to keep him on board.
i see it in the dreamer who stays up late to finish her science project, and the teacher whocomes in early because he knows she might someday cure a disease.
i see it in the american who served his time, and dreams of starting over – and the businessowner who gives him that second chance. the protester determined to prove that justicematters, and the young cop walking the beat, treating everybody with respect, doing the brave,quiet work of keeping us safe.
i see it in the soldier who gives almost everything to save his brothers, the nurse who tends tohim ‘til he can run a marathon, and the community that lines up to cheer him on.
it's the son who finds the courage to come out as who he is, and the father whose love for thatson overrides everything he's been taught.
i see it in the elderly woman who will wait in line to cast her vote as long as she has to; thenew citizen who casts his for the first time; the volunteers at the polls who believe every voteshould count, because each of them in different ways know how much that precious right isworth.
that's the america i know. that's the country we love. clear-eyed. big-hearted. optimistic thatunarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. that's what makes me so hopefulabout our future. because of you. i believe in you. that's why i stand here confident that thestate of our union is strong.
thank you, god bless you, and god bless the united states of america.
第6篇 國家主席發(fā)表2022年新年賀詞公眾演講
新年前夕,________通過中國國際廣播電臺、中央人民廣播電臺和中央電視臺,發(fā)表題為《攜手建設(shè)持久和平、共同繁榮的和諧世界》的新年賀詞。
攜手建設(shè)持久和平、共同繁榮的和諧世界——__年新年賀詞
(__年12月31日)
中華人民共和國國主席 ______
女士們,先生們,同志們,朋友們:
__年的新年鐘聲即將敲響。在這辭舊迎新的美好時(shí)刻,我很高興通過中國國際廣播電臺、中央人民廣播電臺和中央電視臺,向全國各族人民,向香港特別行政區(qū)同胞和澳門特別行政區(qū)同胞,向臺灣同胞和海外僑胞,向世界各國的朋友們,致以新年的祝賀!
在過去的一年里,中國各族人民同心同德、開拓進(jìn)取,全面推進(jìn)社會主義經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)、政治建設(shè)、文化建設(shè)、和諧社會建設(shè),國民經(jīng)濟(jì)呈現(xiàn)增長較快、效益較好、價(jià)格平穩(wěn)、活力增強(qiáng)的態(tài)勢,各項(xiàng)社會事業(yè)不斷發(fā)展,人民生活繼續(xù)改善。中國積極發(fā)展同世界各國的友好合作關(guān)系,推動有關(guān)重大國際及地區(qū)問題的解決,為維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展發(fā)揮了建設(shè)性作用。
__年,是中國實(shí)施“__”規(guī)劃的開局之年。最近,中國共產(chǎn)黨召開了__屆五中全會,提出了中國今后5年經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展的總體目標(biāo)、指導(dǎo)方針和重大部署。中國各族人民正在意氣風(fēng)發(fā)地推進(jìn)全面建設(shè)小康社會進(jìn)程,為創(chuàng)造更加美好的未來繼續(xù)努力。
我們將堅(jiān)持以科學(xué)發(fā)展觀統(tǒng)領(lǐng)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展全局,著力加快改革開放,著力增強(qiáng)自主創(chuàng)新能力,著力推進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整和經(jīng)濟(jì)增長方式轉(zhuǎn)變,著力提高經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的質(zhì)量和效益,努力推動經(jīng)濟(jì)社會又快又好發(fā)展,使全體人民共享改革發(fā)展的成果。我們將堅(jiān)持“一國兩制”、“港人治港”、“澳人治澳”、高度自治的方針,支持香港、澳門特別行政區(qū)政府和行政長官依法施政,擴(kuò)大內(nèi)地同香港、澳門的交流合作,堅(jiān)定地維護(hù)香港、澳門長期繁榮穩(wěn)定。我們將堅(jiān)持“和平統(tǒng)一、一國兩制”的基本方針,堅(jiān)持一個(gè)中國原則決不動搖,爭取和平統(tǒng)一的努力決不放棄,貫徹寄希望于臺灣人民的方針決不改變,反對“____”分裂活動決不妥協(xié),積極促進(jìn)兩岸的交流合作,維護(hù)臺海和平穩(wěn)定,推進(jìn)中國和平統(tǒng)一大業(yè)。
當(dāng)前,國際形勢繼續(xù)深刻變化。和平、發(fā)展、合作成為時(shí)代的潮流。世界經(jīng)濟(jì)保持增長勢頭,科技進(jìn)步日新月異,各國的相互依存和合作日益加深,人類社會發(fā)展面臨著新的機(jī)遇。同時(shí),影響和平與發(fā)展的不穩(wěn)定不確定因素增多,局部戰(zhàn)爭和沖突時(shí)起時(shí)伏,南北差距進(jìn)一步拉大,恐怖主義、跨國犯罪、環(huán)境污染、嚴(yán)重傳染性疾病等全球性問題突出,人類社會發(fā)展也面臨著嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)。
中國人民愛好和平,向往美好生活,真誠愿意做維護(hù)世界和平、推動全球經(jīng)濟(jì)平衡有序發(fā)展的堅(jiān)定力量。中國人民殷切希望同世界各國人民一道,加強(qiáng)團(tuán)結(jié),密切合作,攜手建立一個(gè)持久和平、共同繁榮的和諧世界。
在這里,我愿重申,中國的發(fā)展,是和平的發(fā)展、開放的發(fā)展、合作的發(fā)展、和諧的發(fā)展。中國人民既通過爭取和平的國際環(huán)境來發(fā)展自己,又通過自己的發(fā)展來促進(jìn)世界和平。中國人民愿同世界各國人民一道促進(jìn)多邊主義,促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化朝著有利于實(shí)現(xiàn)共同繁榮的方向發(fā)展,提倡國際關(guān)系民主化,尊重世界多樣性,推動建立公正合理的國際政治經(jīng)濟(jì)新秩序。中國將堅(jiān)持對外開放的基本國策,不斷優(yōu)化投資環(huán)境、開放市場,廣泛開展國際合作,特別是將盡己所能支持發(fā)展中國家加快發(fā)展,同世界各國實(shí)現(xiàn)互利共贏。
當(dāng)今世界,一些國家的民眾依然遭受著戰(zhàn)火、貧困、疾病、自然災(zāi)害等的煎熬,中國人民對他們始終懷著深切的同情,愿意為他們提供力所能及的幫助,衷心祝愿他們能夠早日生活在和平與發(fā)展的陽光之下。
最后,我從北京祝大家在新的一年里幸福安康!
謝謝大家。
第7篇 以平民的身份發(fā)表最好一次演講
以平民的身份發(fā)表最好一次演講
題目貌似有點(diǎn)狂,可是卻是我想說的!
想我從工作到現(xiàn)在也有小十年了,其中滋味,只有自己知道。
從來我只有一個(gè)想法,只要能讓我改變命運(yùn),在不違背做人的原則上,我愿意付出所有,著十年我努力,我尋找,碰壁,在努力,那時(shí)就感覺生命是一艘沒有導(dǎo)航 的船,在驚濤駭浪中我奮起支撐,幾度輪回,幾度驚險(xiǎn)環(huán)生。但是,我從來沒有放棄過相信我心中的美好,當(dāng)老天發(fā)現(xiàn)你是真的想要,他就一定會給你,我獲得了今 天的事業(yè)機(jī)會和平臺。
從來我一直思考一個(gè)問題,為什么同樣生為天地間的人,差別怎么就那么大呢?為什么有人可以名垂青史,有人可以一生 衣食無憂,而有的人,死了大家都不知道這個(gè)人曾經(jīng)來過?天天的為了下頓在哪兒而發(fā)愁?。‘?dāng)老天真的發(fā)現(xiàn)了這是我的疑慮而不是想想玩的,老天就給了我一個(gè)可 以找到答案的環(huán)境。
剛開始做玫琳凱,督導(dǎo)第一句話就問我:誰是你生命里最重要的人,我不懂這個(gè)有我要的成功有什么什么關(guān)系,今天我走過 了,所以我懂了,原來當(dāng)我們面對困難時(shí),當(dāng)我們累的想放棄是,那個(gè)最重要的人就是我們的動力,是我們的方向,為了他們,我們愿意繼續(xù)選擇堅(jiān)持和努力,為了 他們,我們愿意改變那個(gè)不成功的自己,這個(gè)過程同樣是踩著刀尖跳舞,舞的有多漂亮,能否堅(jiān)持跳到最后,完全取決于你愛他們有多深。
剛開 始接觸成功學(xué),我猶疑,是這樣么?如果這么簡單,那為什么還有這么多的不如意?我開始對蕓蕓眾生感興趣,當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)結(jié)果,恍然大悟,原來所謂的成功或者失 敗,只是一個(gè)結(jié)果,對于事件本身來言,他們沒有差別,但是因?yàn)楫a(chǎn)于事件的是“人”!而大部分的人是不愿意去相信美好的,是的,我沒有打錯(cuò),看管們也沒有看 錯(cuò),是不愿意,說起來這是那么的滑稽和不可思議。原來并不是我們不能按照我們所愿的去生活,只是我們不愿意按照我們所愿的去生活,這不是繞口令,是生活中 的真實(shí)普遍存在的場景。你問任意一個(gè)人:“親愛的,請你告訴你,你理想的生活是什么”他/她會驕傲的告訴你一副美麗的'場景,然后你再問“那你現(xiàn)在的生活在 這幅圖畫中么”他/她會白你一眼,或沒有好氣,或無奈,或不甘的告訴你“那是理想,不現(xiàn)實(shí)的”。十個(gè)人有八個(gè)都會這么告訴你吧?那么什么是現(xiàn)實(shí)呢?他們 /她們會啪啪啪啪給你列舉一堆卻是存在的問題,.............然后說,看看,有這些存在,我怎么能怎樣怎樣呢!而這些確實(shí)的存在我們誰的生活 中沒有呢?無論是誰,都有自己的生活,都有自己的問題吧!那么同樣的問題為什么會有不同的人生結(jié)果呢?我想,思考過這個(gè)問題的人現(xiàn)在都在某個(gè)角落里笑 吧?。∫?yàn)榇鸢敢此麄冋娴囊呀?jīng)找到并且實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己的理想,要么就是已經(jīng)超脫得道了吧!!想知道答案么?呵呵去找能給你答案的人請教吧!
話雖這么說,但是任然會有人崛起,任然會有人在感嘆,任然會有人在無奈,任然會有人在蹉跎,因?yàn)檫@就是人類,要是沒有了綠葉,紅花也是去了他的嬌艷,親愛的們,你們在人群中的什么位置呢?

__年4月26日,________出席了印度尼西亞工商及社會各界人士舉行的歡迎會及午宴并發(fā)表重要講話。他指出,中國將堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展的道路,奉行“與鄰為善、以鄰為伴”的周邊外交方針和“睦鄰、安鄰、富鄰”的周邊外交政策,積極推進(jìn)同包括印尼在內(nèi)的東盟各國的友好交流和互利合作,為促進(jìn)本地區(qū)乃至世界的和平、穩(wěn)定、繁榮作出自己的貢獻(xiàn)。
26日中午,在______主席下榻飯店的大會議廳,印尼工商和社會各界人士約500人濟(jì)濟(jì)一堂,為歡迎______主席對印尼的國事訪問舉行盛大歡迎會。印尼工商會主席希達(dá)亞特和工商會中國委員會主席紀(jì)輝琦分別致詞后,______發(fā)表了重要講話。
______說,中國和印尼是友好鄰邦,兩國人民有著悠久的友好交往歷史。早在6__年前,中國明代航海家鄭和七下西洋,多次經(jīng)過爪哇等地,至今仍流傳著許多歷史佳話。在爭取民族獨(dú)立的斗爭中,我們兩國人民相互同情、相互支持。新中國成立后,印尼是最早同中國建交的東南亞國家之一。建交55年來,兩國關(guān)系取得了長足進(jìn)展。特別是近年來,經(jīng)過兩國政府和人民共同努力,中國和印尼關(guān)系已經(jīng)步入快速健康穩(wěn)定發(fā)展的新時(shí)期。去年底,印尼遭受嚴(yán)重的地震海嘯災(zāi)難,最近又遭受嚴(yán)重地震災(zāi)害的襲擊,我們感同身受,開展了中國政府迄今為止最大規(guī)模的對外救援行動,中國人民也紛紛捐款捐物。事實(shí)證明,作為亞洲兩個(gè)重要的發(fā)展中國家,中國和印尼加強(qiáng)友好合作,符合兩國的現(xiàn)實(shí)利益和長遠(yuǎn)利益,有利于本地區(qū)乃至世界的和平、穩(wěn)定、繁榮。
______說,兩國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人簽署的關(guān)于建立中印尼戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系的聯(lián)合宣言,為兩國關(guān)系發(fā)展指明了前進(jìn)方向。中國和印尼建立戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系,宗旨是維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展,堅(jiān)持相互尊重、互利互惠,全面拓展兩國在各領(lǐng)域的交流和合作,是不結(jié)盟、不對抗、不針對任何第三方的新型國家關(guān)系。我們愿同印尼一道,在新的目標(biāo)指引下,共同弘揚(yáng)萬隆精神,共同開創(chuàng)兩國關(guān)系更加美好的未來。
______簡要介紹了中國改革開放以來經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展的情況。他指出,中國經(jīng)濟(jì)的快速增長給世界各國特別是周邊國家?guī)硇碌陌l(fā)展機(jī)遇。近年來,中國和東盟的年貿(mào)易額一直保持著近30%的增長速度。__年,雙方貿(mào)易額達(dá)到1059億美元,東盟國家順差達(dá)到200億美元。每年有數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的中國公民到東盟國家經(jīng)商旅游,越來越多的中國企業(yè)把東盟國家作為境外投資興業(yè)的首選地區(qū)。今年,中國━東盟自由貿(mào)易區(qū)建設(shè)已經(jīng)正式啟動。這必將給雙方經(jīng)貿(mào)合作帶來更加廣闊的前景。我們完全有信心在__年前實(shí)現(xiàn)中國和東盟年貿(mào)易額達(dá)到__億美元的目標(biāo)。作為東盟國家的鄰國,中國一貫重視同東盟的關(guān)系。
印尼工商會主席希達(dá)亞特和工商會中國委員會主席紀(jì)輝琦在致詞中表示,過去幾年中,印尼和中國在經(jīng)貿(mào)、文化等領(lǐng)域的合作都取得了迅速發(fā)展。這次______主席訪問印尼期間,雙方宣布建立戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系,使兩國關(guān)系處于歷史最好時(shí)期。______主席對印尼的訪問,將使印尼和中國在貿(mào)易等領(lǐng)域建立更加牢固的關(guān)系。
____中央書記處書記王剛等陪同人員以及印尼人民代表會議議長阿貢、印尼經(jīng)濟(jì)統(tǒng)籌部長巴克里等多名內(nèi)閣成員出席歡迎會。
當(dāng)天上午,______在下榻的飯店會見了中國駐印尼使館工作人員、中資機(jī)構(gòu)和中國駐印尼新聞機(jī)構(gòu)的代表。
第9篇 在倫敦金融城發(fā)表重要演講公眾演講
__年11月9日,______在倫敦金融城市政廳就中國發(fā)展方向等問題發(fā)表重要演講。他明確指出,中國選擇和堅(jiān)持的是和平發(fā)展道路,中國的發(fā)展是和平的發(fā)展、開放的發(fā)展、合作的發(fā)展。
倫敦市金融城是世界主要金融中心之一。9日晚,倫敦金融城市長薩沃
里在市政廳舉行隆重儀式和晚宴,歡迎______主席對英國進(jìn)行國事訪問。當(dāng)薩沃里市長陪同胡主席步入宴會大廳時(shí),參加宴會的約700名英國各界人士和外國駐英使節(jié)全體起立,熱烈鼓掌,向______表示敬意。
______在晚宴上發(fā)表演講時(shí)說,在世界多極化和經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化的趨勢深入發(fā)展的當(dāng)今時(shí)代,世界各國人民要促進(jìn)各自國家的發(fā)展,共同建設(shè)一個(gè)持久和平、共同繁榮的和諧世界,必須加強(qiáng)相互了解,增進(jìn)相互信任。
他指出,改革開放27年來,中國經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展取得了舉世矚目的成就,中國的發(fā)展引起了世界的關(guān)注。要了解中國的發(fā)展方向,最重要的是要了解中國選擇的是什么樣的發(fā)展道路。我可以明確地告訴大家,中國選擇和堅(jiān)持的是和平發(fā)展道路,中國的發(fā)展是和平的發(fā)展、開放的發(fā)展、合作的發(fā)展。堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展道路,就是既通過爭取和平的國際環(huán)境來發(fā)展自己,又通過自己的發(fā)展來促進(jìn)世界和平,永遠(yuǎn)做維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展的堅(jiān)定力量。中國將主要依靠自身力量和改革創(chuàng)新來實(shí)現(xiàn)發(fā)展,同時(shí)堅(jiān)持對外開放的基本國策,在平等互利的基礎(chǔ)上同世界各國開展交流合作,努力實(shí)現(xiàn)互利共贏。
他指出,中國堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展道路,既有著中國發(fā)展的現(xiàn)實(shí)需要,又有著中國發(fā)展的歷史根源。
——中國堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展道路,是基于中國國情的必然選擇。中國雖然取得了巨大的發(fā)展成就,但中國仍然是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國家。中國要達(dá)到中等發(fā)達(dá)國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展水平,還需要經(jīng)過很長時(shí)期的艱苦奮斗。這一基本國情決定了,推動經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展、不斷改善人民生活始終是中國的中心任務(wù)。
——中國堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展道路,是基于中國歷史文化傳統(tǒng)的必然選擇。中華民族歷來講信修睦、崇尚和平。在近代歷史上,中國屢遭外來勢力入侵和奴役,中國人民深知和平彌足珍貴。新中國成立以來,中國堅(jiān)持獨(dú)立自主的和平外交政策,從來都是維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展的堅(jiān)定力量。
——中國堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展道路,是基于當(dāng)今世界發(fā)展潮流的必然選擇。求和平、促發(fā)展、謀合作,是世界各國人民的共同心愿,也是不可阻擋的歷史潮流。任何國家要實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的發(fā)展目標(biāo),都必須順應(yīng)世界發(fā)展大勢。中國外交政策的宗旨是維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展。中國主張國際關(guān)系民主化和發(fā)展模式多樣化,積極推動經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化朝著有利于實(shí)現(xiàn)共同繁榮的方向發(fā)展,推動建立公正合理的國際政治經(jīng)濟(jì)新秩序。中國的發(fā)展將給各國帶來更多的機(jī)會和更廣闊的市場。中國將始終不渝地高舉和平、發(fā)展、合作的旗幟,堅(jiān)定不移地走和平發(fā)展道路,同世界各國人民一道,共同推進(jìn)人類和平與發(fā)展的崇高事業(yè)。
在談到中國與歐洲關(guān)系時(shí),______表示,中歐雙方已建立了全面戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系,在科技、文化、教育、環(huán)保、社會發(fā)展等領(lǐng)域的合作取得了豐碩成果。中國是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國家,歐盟是世界上最大的發(fā)達(dá)國家集團(tuán),都肩負(fù)著維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展的重任,應(yīng)該成為更加緊密的合作伙伴。
______在談到中英關(guān)系時(shí)說,當(dāng)前,中英關(guān)系進(jìn)入了持續(xù)發(fā)展的新階段,特別是兩國經(jīng)貿(mào)合作成果喜人。事實(shí)表明,兩國密切的經(jīng)貿(mào)合作,給兩國人民帶來了實(shí)實(shí)在在的利益。在今天這樣一個(gè)以和平與發(fā)展為主題的時(shí)代,只要我們增進(jìn)互信、攜手努力、開拓進(jìn)取,中英全面戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系一定能夠取得更加豐碩的成果。
薩沃里在晚宴上致歡迎辭時(shí),高度評價(jià)中國20多年改革開放所取得的成就和中國共產(chǎn)黨關(guān)于第11個(gè)5年規(guī)劃建議提出的目標(biāo)。他還表示,英中在經(jīng)濟(jì)上相互依存,倫敦金融城非常重視同中國的關(guān)系,將積極擴(kuò)大同中國伙伴的合作。
