名人演讲:葛底斯堡演说
林肯的讲话是极简短、极朴素的。这往往使那些滔滔不绝的讲演家大瞧不起。
葛底斯堡战役后,决定为死难烈士举行盛大葬礼。掩葬委员会发给总统一张普通的请帖,他们以为他是不会来的,但林肯答应了。既然总统来,那一定要讲演的,但他们已经请了著名演说家艾佛瑞特来做这件事,因此,他们又给林肯写了信,说在艾佛瑞特演说完毕之后,他们希望他“随便讲几句适当的话”。这是一个侮辱,但林肯平静地接受了。两星期内,他在穿衣、刮脸、吃点心时也想着怎样演说。演说稿改了两三次,他仍不满意。到了葬礼的前一天晚上,还在做最后的修改,然后半夜找到他的同僚高声朗诵。走进会场时,他骑在马上仍把头低到胸前默想着演说辞。
那位艾佛瑞特讲演了两个多小时,将近结束时,林肯不安地掏出旧式眼镜,又一次看他的讲稿。他的演说开始了,一位记者支上三角架准备拍摄照片,等一切就绪的时候,林肯已走下讲台。这段时间只有两分钟,而掌声却持续了10分钟。后人给以极高评价的那份演说辞,在今天译成中文,也不过400字。
GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
Abraham Lincoln
Delivered on the 19th Day of November, 1863
Cemetery Hill, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new Nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are engaged in a great Civil War,testing whether that Nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who gave their lives that Nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that this Nation, under GOD, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the People by the People and for the People shall not perish from the earth.
葛底斯堡演说
亚伯拉罕·林肯,1963年11月19日
87年前,我们的先辈们在这个大陆上创立了一个新国家,它孕育于自由之中,奉行一切人生来平等的原则。现在我们正从事一场伟大的内战,以考验这个国家,或者任何一个孕育于自由和奉行上述原则的国家是否能够长久存在下去。我们在这场战争中的一个伟大战场上集会。烈士们为使这个国家能够生存下去而献出了自己的生命,我们来到这里,是要把这个战场的一部分奉献给他们作为最后安息之所。我们这样做是完全应该而且是非常恰当的。
但是,从更广泛的意义上来说,这块土地我们不能够奉献,不能够圣化,不能够神化。那些曾在这里战斗过的勇士们,活着的和去世的,已经把这块土地圣化了,这远不是我们微薄的力量所能增减的。我们今天在这里所说的话,全世界不大会注意,也不会长久地记住,但勇士们在这里所做过的事,全世界却永远不会忘记。毋宁说,倒是我们这些还活着的人,应该在这里把自己奉献于勇士们已经如此崇高地向前推进但尚未完成的事业。倒是我们应该在这里把自己奉献于仍然留在我们面前的伟大任务——我们要从这些光荣的死者身上汲取更多的献身精神,来完成他们已经完全彻底为之献身的事业;我们要在这里下定最大的决心,不让这些死者白白牺牲;我们要使国家在上帝福佑下得到自由的新生,要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府永世长存。

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
by Abraham Lincoln
八十七年以前,我们的祖先在这大陆上建立了一个国家,它孕育于自由,并且献身给一种理念,即所有人都是声来平等的。
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
当前,我们正在从事一次伟大的内战,我们在考验,究竟这个国家,或任何一个有这种主张和这种信仰的国家,是否能长久存在。我们在那次战争的一个伟大的战场上集会。我们来到这里,奉献那个战场上的一部分土地,作为在此地为那个国家的生存而牺牲了自己生命的人的永久眠息之所。我们这样做,是十分合情合理的。
Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
可是,就更深一层意义而言,我们是无从奉献这片土地的--无从使它成为圣地--也不能把它变为人们景仰之所。那些在这里战斗的勇士,活着的和死去的,已使这块土地神圣化了,远非我们的菲薄能力所能左右。世人会不大注意,更不会长久记得我们在此地所说的话,然而他们将永远忘不了这些人在这里所做的事。相反,我们活着的人应该献身于那些曾在此作战的人们所英勇推动而尚未完成的工作。我们应该在此献身于我们面前所留存的伟大工作--由于他们的光荣牺牲,我们要更坚定地致力于他们曾作最后全部贡献的那个事业--我们在此立志宣誓,不能让他们白白死去--要使这个国家在上帝的庇佑之下,得到新生的自由--要使那民有、民治、民享的政府不致从地球上消失。
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, for above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
"The voters turned out in record numbers and delivered anhistoric victory.
"Earlier today, Senator Kerry called with his congratulations. We had a really good phone call. He was very gracious.

"Laura is the love of my life. I'm glad you love her too.
"I want to thank our daughters who joined their dad for his last campaign. I appreciate the hard work of my sister and brothers.

"In four historic years, America has been given great tasks and faced them with strength and courage.
"Our people have restored the vigor of this economy and shown resolve and patience in a new kind of war.
"Our military has brought justice to the enemy and honor to America. Our nation has defended itself and served the freedom of all mankind.
"I'm proud to lead such an amazing country, and I'm proud to lead it forward.
"Because we have done the hard work, we are entering a season of hope.
"We will continue our economic progress. We'll reform our outdated tax code. We'll strengthen the Social Security for the next generation. We'll make public schools all they can be. And we will uphold our deepest values of family and faith.
"We'll help the emerging democracies of Iraq and Afghanistan ... so they can grow in strength and defend their freedom.
"And then our service men and women will come home with the honor they have earned.
"With good allies at our side, we will fight this war on terror with every resource of our national power so our children can live in freedom and in peace.
"Reaching these goals will require the broad support of Americans.
So today I want to speak to every person who voted for my opponent.
"To make this nation stronger and better, I will need your support and I will work to earn it. I will do all I can do to deserve your trust.
"A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one Constitution, and one future that binds us.
"And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America.
"Let me close with a word for the people of the state of Texas.
"We have known each other the longest, and you started me on this journey.
"On the open plains of Texas, I first learned the character of our country: sturdy and honest, and as hopeful as the break of day.
"I will always be grateful to the good people of my state. And whatever the road that lies ahead, that road will take me home.
"The campaign has ended, and the United States of America goes forward with confidence and faith.
"I see a great day coming for our country and I am eager for the work ahead.
"God bless you and may God bless America."
此次选民的投票率创下了历史新高,带来了历史性的胜利。今天早些时候,凯瑞参议员打电话祝贺我竞选成功。我们在电话中谈得很好,他非常亲切。凯瑞参议员发起了充满活力的竞选攻劫,他和他的支持者可以为此感到自豪。萝拉和我向凯瑞、爱德华兹以及他们全家表示最衷心的祝愿。
美国做出了选择。对于同胞们的信任,我很感激。这种信任意味著我将承担为所有美国公民服务的义务。作为你们的总统,我每天都将竭尽全力。
我需要感谢许多人,首先是我的家人。劳拉是我一生的挚爱,我对你们也爱她感到高兴。我还要感谢在竞选后期加入竞选团的女儿,感谢兄弟姐妹们付出的努力,特别感谢严父慈母的支持。
我感谢副总统、(他的夫人)切尼和他们的女儿。他们付出了努力,是竞选团的重要成员。副总统聪明睿智、正直高贵,我为跟他共事感到自豪。
我感谢优秀的竞选团,感谢你们所有人付出的努力。你们的勤奋和智慧每天都给我留下了深刻的印象。
我感谢全国上下成千上万名支持者,感谢你们在竞选集会上的拥抱、祈祷和亲切言语,感谢你们想方设法打出标语,呼吁邻居前去投票。
正是由于你们付出了惊人的努力,我们今天才能庆祝胜利。
有句谚语说,不要祈求能力所能胜任的任务,要祈求能胜任任务的能力。在四年历史性时期,美国被赋予了伟大的任务,并以实力和勇气面对这些任务。我国人民使经济活力复苏,并在新型战争中显示出决心和耐心。我军已经将敌人绳之以法,给美国带来了荣誉。我国保卫了自己,维护了全人类的自由。领导这样出色的国家,我感到自豪;带领这个国家前进,我感到自豪。
我们已经完成了艰难的任务,进入了充满希望的时期。我们将继续推动经济增长,改革落后的税法,为下一代加强社会保障。我们将尽量改善公立学校,维护在家庭和信仰方面的核心价值观。
我们将帮助伊拉克和阿富汗建立民主制度……以便他们增强实力和维护自由。然后,我军官兵将带著他们获得的荣誉回国。在优秀盟国的支持下,我们将动用美国的一切力量打赢这场反恐战争,确保我们的孩子们的自由与和平。
要实现这些目标,美国公民的广泛支持是必不可缺的。因此今天,我要对支持对手的所有人说,为了让美国变得更强大更美好,我需要你们的支持,我也将努力获得你们的支持,并将竭尽所能以担当得起你们的支持。
新一届任期使我有机会影响整个国家。正是同一个国家、同一部宪法和同一个未来把我们联系在一起。当我们一起努力的时候,美国的前途无可限量。
作为结束语,请允许我向得克萨斯州人民讲几句话:我们彼此认识的时间最长,你们是我旅程的起点。在得州广阔无垠的平原上,我初次学到了美国的特点:强壮有力、真诚坦率,充满了黎明般的希望。我将永远感谢这个州的优秀人民。不管前方的路怎么样,这条路都将带我回家。
选举已经结束,美国将充满自信地前进。我看到我们的国家正迎来伟大的日子,很期待下一周的开始。
愿上帝保佑你们,保佑美国!
美国第32任总统富兰克林·D·罗斯福(Franklin D. Roosevelt )(1933—1945),一直被视为美国历史上最伟大的总统之一,是20世纪美国最孚众望和受爱戴的总统,也是美国历史上惟一连任4届总统的人,从1933年3月起,直到1945年4月去世时为止,任职长达12年。曾赢得美国民众长达7周的高支持率,创下历史记录。
富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福出生于纽约。父亲詹姆斯·罗斯福是一个百万富翁。母亲萨拉·德拉诺比父亲小26岁。罗斯福曾就读于哈佛大学和哥伦比亚大学。1910年任纽约州参议员。1913年任海军部副部长。1921年因患脊髓灰质炎致残。1928年任纽约州长。1932年竞选总统获胜。执政后,以“新政”对付经济危机,颇有成效,故获得1936年、1940年、1944年大选连任。第二次世界大战初,美国采取不介入政策,但对希特勒采取强硬手段,以“租借法”支持同盟国。1941年底,美国参战。罗斯福代表美国两次参加同盟国“三巨头”会议。罗斯福政府提出了轴心国必须无条件投降的原则并得到了实施。罗斯福提出了建立联合国的构想,也得到了实施。63岁时由于脑溢血去世。
很多网友相信都看过电影《珍珠港》(Pearl Harbor),第二次世界大战在欧亚大陆打的如火如荼,而跨海相隔的美国却隔岸观火,仿佛事不关己。直到1941年12月7日早晨7点53分,日本突袭美军在夏威夷的基地珍珠港。次日,美国总统罗斯福在国会愤然发表了这篇的演说,至此,太平洋战争全面爆发。
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
昨天,1941年12月7日──它将永远成为国耻日──美利坚合众国遭到了日本帝国海空军预谋的突然袭击。
Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.
And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
昨天日本政府也发动了对马来地区的进攻。
昨夜日本军队进攻了香港。
昨夜日本军队进攻关岛。
昨夜日本军队进攻菲律宾群岛。
昨夜日本军队进攻威克岛。
今晨日本军队进攻了中途岛。
演讲全文:Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation
Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.
Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.
And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph -- so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.
