*second inaugural address by abraham
lincoln march 4, 1865
#林肯第二次就职演说（1865年3月4日）
fellow-countrymen:
at this second appearing to take the oath
of the presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there
was at the first. then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued
seemed fitting and proper. now, at the expiration of four years, during which
public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase
of his great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the
energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. the progress of
our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public
as to myself, and it is, i trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to
all. with high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
on the occasion corresponding to this
four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war.
all dreaded it; all sought to avert it. while the inaugural address was being
delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving teing delivered from
thisurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war-seeking to
dissolve the union and divide effects by negotiation. both parties deprecated
war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the
other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came. one-eighth
of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the
union, but localized in the southern part of it. their slaves constituted a
peculiar and powerful interest. all knew that this interest was somehow the
cause of the war. to strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the
object for which the insurgents would rend the union even by war, while the
government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial
enlargement of it. neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the
duration, which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of
the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease.
each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and
astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes
his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask
a just god’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s
faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. that of neither has been
answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. “woe unto the world because
of offenses; for it must need be that offenses come, but woe to that man by
whom the offense comet.” if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of
those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which,
having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that
he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by
whom the offense came, shall we discern there in any departure from those
divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him?
fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may
speedily pass away? yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth
piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be
sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by
another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago so still it
must be said “the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether.”
with malice toward none, with charity for
all, with firmness in the right as god gives us to see the might, let us strive
on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for
him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all
which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with
all nations.

fourscore and seven years ago,our fathers
brought forth upon this continent a new nation,conceived and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal.
now we are egaged in a great civil
war,testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and dedicated can
long endure.we are met on the battelfield 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 the nation might live.it is altogether and proper that we should do this.
but, in a larger sense,we can not
dedicate,we can not consecrate,we can not hallow this ground.the brave men,living
and dead,have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract.the world
will little note 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 the nation shall have a
new birth of freedom,that the goverment of the people by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the earth.

所以只要读一下这篇讲演，就会知道林肯是怎样一位敬畏上帝，祈求上帝带领的人了！就如林肯传记《公民林肯》(lincoln the citizen)的作者惠特尼(henry whitney)所总结的：“(这篇演讲是)一串向神连绵不断的祈求，求祂对我们这个如火如荼的国家伸出援手。”
这篇讲演发生在1865年3月4号上午，当时在现场的记者noah
brooks写到：“just at
that moment the sun，which had been obscured all day，burst forth in its unclouded meridian splendor，and flooded the spectacle with
glory and with light??was already standing in the shadow of death.”(林肯登台的一瞬间，阳光冲出了已盘踞了一整天的云层，放射出惊人的景象，荣耀和光辉如洪水般涌来??而此时，林肯已经站在了死亡的阴影之中。) -- 仅仅40天后，即同年4月15号，林肯在剧院里被谋杀了。
例如，在1862年9月，在一个本来看似乐观的形势下，北方军却经历了在bull run的第二次战役的彻底失败，林肯开始认真的反思这次战争，并且考虑解放黑奴的具体计划。这时，他写下了“meditation on the divine will”(对神旨意的思想)的文章。英文原文是：“the
will of god prevails. in great contests each party claims to act in accordance
with the will of god. both may be，and one must be，wrong. god can not be for and against the same thing at the same
time. in the present civil war it is quite possible that god’s purpose is
something different from the purpose of either party-and yet the human
instrumentalities，working just
as they do，are of the
best adaptation to affect his purpose.”翻译是：“上帝的旨意必成就。在内战中，双方都认为自己所行的符合上帝的旨意，但至少有一方是错的，因为上帝不可能自相矛盾。上帝的旨意不同于我们的目标，但是上帝使用我们作为器皿成就祂的旨意。”
在林肯将被谋杀的最后时刻，据d.
james kennedy的《what if the
bible had never been written》一书，林肯坐在戏院里，对妻子玛丽说的最后的话是：“你知道我现在想做什么吗？我想带你到中东去旅行。”“我们要去祂(主耶稣)
look! there is a rainbow! on the first day
of my university life, when i walked into the campus, there was a rainbow
bridging over the fountain, i hadn’t seen rainbow for a long time. i
was so excited, and leaped high with joy. my ponytail danced with my happiness.
it was a propitious sign indicated that my life in university would be
colorful, and actually it is!
after my entry into university, i found my
life so busy. what i should do is not only gaining the scholarship but also
being a good monitor and leader of shanghai university percussion band. i got
the 1st and 2nd price of scholarship in my 2 years of study. i organized
charity donations for schoolmates with financial difficulty or disease. every
week, i give drum lesson to new members of our percussion band. and there are
always a lot of non-business performances, such as entertaining guests,
celebrating party, cultural exchange with foreign students delegations and
their bands. of course, part-time job is indispensable in my vacations. i ask
for no payment but aim at getting accustomed to the society.
sometimes, my friends advise me not to tire
myself out with such a tight schedule. i wake up before the rooster crow, and
continue working till very late when others are enjoying their sweet dreams.
every time i come back from the rehearsal of percussion band, i have to finish
my homework with the help of my own charged light because of the blackout in
out dormitory. maybe such kind of life is something like an ascetic, but we
should work hard and try hard in our youth, aren’t we?
when i represented shanghai university to
take part in the pond’s new century lady competition held in may,
when i show off on the stage, when i emerged as “the girl of vitality”,
i made use of every bit of time to compensate the classes i had missed, i made
use of every chance to learn from other girls with vitality, versatility and
intelligence, i made use of this opportunity to present our university students’
state of mind.
there is a little bitterness in my busy
life, but at the same time, there is sweetness. it is colorful. i make fun out
of it. i love it. when i snatch a little leisure i lie on the green grass,
reading books, i cripple myself in the window-seat in our library---the 2nd
largest in shanghai---i absorb knowledge like a hungry sponge, i wonder along
the bank of river, listening to oriels in willows and get a splendid sunset
view of the campus. the sky is drunk with the sunset; i am drunk with the
sweetness of my like.
besides study, music is the most important
part of my life. i began to learn piano at 6 and drum at 11. in school, i teach
students to play jazz drums, kettledrums, xylophone and so on. we give
performances in many universities to popularize percussion and to bring music
to them. i’ve learned drums for so many years and it can’t
be separated from my life now. it is my beating heart, my pulse, veins and
arteries. when i play it, i wanna move my body, i can sit on my chair anymore i
can’t help swinging i communicate with the audience i call upon them
to join me with the beat of drums the rhythm of music and the fragmence of
youth. hi, come on!
in one summer vacation, i volunteered to
teach my neighborhood community and taxi drivers to learn 100 english sentences
for apec. i made great efforts to walk out of my air-conditioned room and walk
into the hot and suffocating weather. some of these people didn’t
have the opportunity to get good education, and even didn’t know abc!
i tried hard to find and easy way to teach them. for example, how to remember
“the oriental tv tower”? i put “tower”
as “套鞋”
in shanghai dialect. it is not the right way to teach and learn english like
this, but actually it is the only way. in the end of my vacation, they could
use some daily language. i was so glad and thought my efforts rewarding. being
a volunteer, i mould myself serve the people and welcome the coming apec. being
a university student living in ivory tower, i feel the hardness of taxi driver.
it was at that time that i cherished most my opportunity to study in shanghai
university which enjoys the first rate facilities in china. i will work hard
and contribute myself to our country in the future.
and another summer vacation, i worked as a
junior clerk in an import and export company. i didn’t know how to
draw up invoice; how to make customs declaration forms; how to fill the packing
list or i even didn’t know what is cif! i strongly feel my lack of
working and social experience; these are knowledge that can’t be
learned from textbooks. how to teach oneself, how to make a circle of
acquaintances and get along with people of various characters---i think these
are the preparation of entry into society and are more important than my scores
in examinations. working in the company, i threw away my t-shirts jeans track
shoes and changed into suits dresses and high-hell shoes. it was far from
comfortable and occasionally i stumbled over my steps. oh! how difficult it is
to be a white-collar office lady! one should pretend to be a noble lady,
working all day before the table, wearing the dangerous high-heel shoes!
isn’t it a challenge?
my life in university is like allegro. it
is painstaking but worthwhile; bitter but sweet; tiring but exciting. the
rainbow appeared in my first day of university life promised me a colorful
life. over the rainbow, there is the sky high above. the way ahead is long, i
see no ending, yet high or low, i will search my will unbending!
第二篇：我的大学生活——英语演讲稿
good morning everyone. my name is zhang
san. today my topic is my college life. i wish i could share my happiness and
annoyance i have experienced with you all.
four years ago i came into the city of
baoding and started my college life in ncepu, the most memorable journey of my
life. i was just a shy and little boy that time. all the things seemed fresh to
me: new faces, military training, large library and physics lab etc. i breathed
the air of college greedily, but to tell the truth, the air in baoding is
terrible. it’s really hard
to explain my feelings that time: curious? energetic? in one word, i was really
happy that time.
and now i am going to graduate in july.
recalling to the four years, i think i have to talk about one
thing-----learning. learn how to study independently, learn how to get along
with others, learn to love, learn to… oh, the(本站向您推荐WWW.91exam.org)re are too much things we have to learn.
comparing with senior high school, college
is a rather different place. there aren’t so many people to watch you and guide you how to do something any
more, neither are there so many students who share with you one dream. in
college, you must think and study yourself, so you have to learn and practice
to control yourself.
the relationship between boys and girls in
college is always love. i fell in love too. that was the second year in
college; i fell in love with a girl who is cute and beautiful. i was sweet
then. but because i didn’t know how to deal with the relationship, my first love failed at
last. bitterness filled my life from then on. i really appreciated that god
brought another girl into my life. she is my classmate in senior high school. i
like to call her “yatou”. in my difficult time, she was with me, relieving me.
gradually i found i like to talk to her and being with her is really
comfortable. i think i love her and this time i won’t let her go.
another relationship in college is
friendship. my roommates have lived four years with me. in these years, they
forgive my faults, cry with me, laugh with me, play with me… they always stand
with me and support me, i have learned a lot from them. i love them all and
treasure the friendship with them.
that’s my college life. i cherish all i have experienced in college. i
love you, my college!
that’s all, thank you!

my college life
ladies and gentlemen,good evening!i fell
really honored to stand here and make a speech about my college life.
now collegelife has been about more than a
half, i begin to understand that college is a large stage, what belongs to your
own; here you are both director and actor, if you dare to try, then the
spotlight will call to you all. and what you have to do is try your best to
play your role, whatever happens, believe yourself, that’s right! when
sophomore, is mainly for learning, without fresh at the beginning, holding the
muddled attitudes of life and learning. now recalling the university life of
freshman: classes, dinners, rest filled up my daily life, i am busy and i think
i tried to make my life colorful ,however, i got no achievement to show off,i
don’t know what i
was busy with. people always like dream, but the dream is broken again and
again when there is no plan to make it come true. so it is the most important
to have a plan for your university life, although it need not to be very
detailed, it can let you have the target to pursue.
some say mediocre students are similar, not
mediocre students each have their own glory. although i don’t think my life is
brilliant, and failure of comparison but i’m glad i gain
much more than i lost. every one of us
dreams of the university halls, in order to come to the palace we experience
hardships. now that we have crossed the threshold, so we have a lot of
personality in the halls of this dream. college is not a fantasy, not a dream,
and certainly not delusional, but our great ideal. as long as we are fighting
for. some day we will achieve everything! you will hear maple stream boat, you
will see kim laughs, and you’ll smell the fruit fragrance, because you have
been in the harvest season!
第五篇：大学英语演讲稿--我的大学生活
英语口语演讲my
college,my life
college life is colorful, but also need us
to grasp and deep experience. someone said: "ordinary college students
have the same ordinary, but not the ordinary university but has its own
brilliant." but, you can choose to ordinary, but not can choose
mediocrity; if you can’t believe that ordinary. so, how can we make our own
university life worthwhile meaningful, how to advocate their university life? i
just talk about personal time view.
first is to establish goals and plans,
farther gaze. the ancients have "volunteers," save lofty when
mao zedong also has "custom long appropriate looking quantity".
no goal will not have the efforts to advance direction, and with no power at
all. project goals, can divide again for immediate and long-term. such as the
recent i will read as many books as this month i should know what knowledge,
holiday what practice plan to wait. for the long-term such as: before
graduation of diploma, get relationships should be much, how should practice
ability to the degree, etc. moreover, the realization of the goal is a little
wrath coherent process meter to realize. if one day, to remember five words can
be written to many test. but, this requires persistence and perseverance.
second, is to put far vision, it is to
point to not be temporary mood and mood that what will be done to drag,
addiction, it must be great business event grasps, small relax. such as online
gaming, don’t be such by the goal of satisfying some have been addicted, what
does not know, temporarily meet the bigger behind the emptiness. believe we all
have this experience.
the first three is to establish employment
crisis. we always blame myself himself is not strong, control force without aspirant
power. what does not know is own consciousness not awake. someone will say:
"love is study power" or "disadvantaged study

, boys and girls. i am pu lijuanand glad to give you a speech about stress.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of
living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities . statistics
show that stress comes from every detail in our life . financial problems ,
poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now are
suffering . as students in the university , we are also under our special
stress . while study , having to take various tests and submit a project
against a deadline may put a great pressure on us . and the things that make us
felt stressed may be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach . later , when we
are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . i think we
will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can
best use what we’ve learned at
college in our future job

good morning, ladies and gentlemen:
today i’m very happy to be here to share
with you some of my thoughts on the topic of globalization. and first of all, i
would like to mention an event in our recent history.
thirty years ago, american president
richard nixon made an epoch-making visit to china, a country still isolated at
that time. premier zhou enlai said to him, "your handshake came over
the vastest ocean in the world - twenty-five years of no
communication." ever since then, china and america have exchanged many
handshakes of various kinds. the fundamental implication of this example is
that the need and desire to communicate across differences in culture and
ideology is not only felt by the two countries but by many other nations as
well.
as we can see today, environmentalists from
different countries are making joint efforts to address the issue of global
warming, economists are seeking solutions to financial crises that rage in a
particular region but nonetheless cripple the world’s economy, and diplomats
and politicians are getting together to discuss the issue of combating
terrorism. peace and prosperity has become a common goal that we are striving
for all over the world. underlying this mighty trend of globalization is the
echo of e. m. forster’s words, "only connect!"
with the it revolution taking place,
traditional boundaries of human society fall away. our culture, politics,
society and commerce are being sloshed into a large melting pot of humanity. in
this interlinked world, there are no outsiders, for a disturbance in one place
is likely to impact other parts of the globe. we have begun to realize that a
world divided cannot endure.
china is now actively integrating into the
world. our recent entry to the wto is a good example. for decades, we have
taken pride in being self-reliant, but now we realize the importance of
participating in and contributing to a broader economic order. from the
precarious role in the world arena to our present wto membership, we have come
a long way.
but what does the way ahead look like? in
some parts of the world people are demonstrating against globalization. are
they justified then, in criticizing the globalizing world? instead of narrowing
the gap between the rich and the poor, they say, globalization enables
developed nations to swallow the developing nations’ wealth in debts and
interest. globalization, they argue, should be about an earnest interest in
every other nation’s economic health.
we are reminded by karl marx that capital
goes beyond national borders and eludes control from any other entity. this has
become a reality. multinational corporations are seeking the lowest cost, the
largest market, and the most favorable policy. they are often powerful
lobbyists in government decision-making, ruthless expansionists in the global
market place and a devastating presence to local businesses.
for china, still more challenges exist. how
are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a
market-based one? how to construct a legal system that is sound enough and
broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? how to maintain our
cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? and how to define
greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? globalization entails questions
that concern us all.
like many young people my age in china, i
want to see my country get prosperous and enjoying respect in the international
community. but it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. it is
vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our
mind to bigger issues. and, there might never be easy answers to those issues
such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the
first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way.
and this is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this
speech. thank you.
第三篇：《大学英语演讲稿范文》
《大学英语演讲稿范文》
i have been in university for about one
year. during my stay here, i came to realize that university life is like
drinking coke. we experience all tastes of life here, sour, sweet, bitter and
hot. i am from province, which is far away from here. i often miss my mum,
friends, and relatives in my hometown. however, i can’t see them very often. so
loneliness always keeps me company. i am sad that i can’t be there with them.
lucky for me, life in university is rich and colorful. with more free time,we
can do many more things besides study, such as joining societies clubs, and
taking part-time jobs. such activities not only make our life more colorful,
but also help us improve all kinds of skills. the university is a society
miniature, what we learn here will benefit our future life. our path in life
will not always be smooth. setbacks can’t be avoided. failing an important
exam, break up with boy or girl friend, or refused by a promising company, such
setbacks are likely to get us down. sometimes we fell so frustrated that we even
burst into tears. drinkin coke is wonderful, despite the undesirble consequent
hiccups. it’s bitter, sour and peppery, but also sweet. and you’ll even feel
excited after gulping down a glass. a college experience is part of growing up.
we cry, smile, fall in love, get hurt, leave, learn and then we become a better
person. university life is like drinking coke. i’m experiencing it. and i know,
i enjoy it!
man’s life is a process of growing up, actually i’m standing here is a growth. if a
person’s life must
constituted by various choices, then i grow up along with these choices. once i
hope i can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know i come here,
now i wonder what the future holds for (= what will happen to) me.
when i come to this school, i told to
myself: this my near future, all starts here. following i will learn to become
a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has
independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge
right and wrong, has a perfect job.
once my teacher said :” yo(来自好范文网wWw.91exam.org)u are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget
which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” i will put my
personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process i
will combine learning with doing. if i can achieve this “future”, i think that
i really grow up. and i deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will
perfection and happy in the future.
how to say future? maybe it’s a nice wish. lets make up our
minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.

i am proud of being a college student.the
collegelife is fresh,new teachers, new classmates and new friends. i like the
friendship, and their wide knowledge and opening mind. the grand library,
school buildings and wide playground attrattde me very much.my college life is
better than i expected, i can do anything i like. in the college we can not
only learn the professional knowledge,but also develop our comprehensive
abilities.if we can make full use of the period,we can learn many useful
things.besides,we should have the active attitude to our life,do a
contributionto the society.
collegelife is the most precious time in
our life.most of us want to become an outstanding man. but there are some
students still waste their time. they get together for eating, drinking or
playing cards. they're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a
boyfriend. they completely forget their task as college students.
finally, i hope everybody can try their
best to become a worthy person to our country, and make great contributions to
the society!
good morning everyone. my name is zhang
san. today my topic is my college life. i wish i could share my happiness and
annoyance i have experienced with you all.
four years ago i came into the city of
baoding and started my college life in ncepu, the most memorable journey of my
life. i was just a shy and little boy that time. all the things seemed fresh to
me: new faces, military training, large library and physics lab etc. i breathed
the air of college greedily, but to tell the truth, the air in baoding is
terrible. it’s really hard
to explain my feelings that time: curious? energetic? in one word, i was really
happy that time.
and now i am going to graduate in july.
recalling to the four years, i think i have to talk about one
thing-----learning. learn how to study independently, learn how to get along
with others, learn to love, learn to… oh, there are too much things we have to
learn.
comparing with senior high school, college
is a rather different place. there aren’t so many people to watch you and guide you how to do something any
more, neither are there so many students who share with you one dream. in
college, you must think and study yourself, so you have to learn and practice
to control yourself.
the relationship between boys and girls in
college is always love. i fell in love too. that was the second year in
college; i fell in love with a girl who is cute and beautiful. i was sweet
then. but because i didn’t know how to deal with the relationship, my first love failed at
last. bitterness filled my life from then on. i really appreciated that god
brought another girl into my life. she is my classmate in senior high school. i
like to call her “yatou”. in my difficult time, she was with me, relieving me.
gradually i found i like to talk to her and being with her is really
comfortable. i think i love her and this time i won’t let her go.
another relationship in college is
friendship. my roommates have lived four years with me. in these years, they
forgive my faults, cry with me, laugh with me, play with me… they always stand
with me and support me, i have learned a lot from them. i love them all and
treasure the friendship with them.
that’s my college life. i cherish all i have experienced in college. i
love you, my college!
that’s all, thank you!

my college life
ladie(本站向您推荐：WWw.91exam.org)s and gentlemen,good evening!i fell really honored
to stand here and make a speech about my college life.
now collegelife has been about more than a
half, i begin to understand that college is a large stage, what belongs to your
own; here you are both director and actor, if you dare to try, then the
spotlight will call to you all. and what you have to do is try your best to play
your role, whatever happens, believe yourself, that’s right! when sophomore, is
mainly for learning, without fresh at the beginning, holding the muddled
attitudes of life and learning. now recalling the university life of freshman:
classes, dinners, rest filled up my daily life, i am busy and i think i tried
to make my life colorful ,however, i got no achievement to show off,i don’t know what i was busy with. people
always like dream, but the dream is broken again and again when there is no
plan to make it come true. so it is the most important to have a plan for your
university life, although it need not to be very detailed, it can let you have
the target to pursue.
some say mediocre students are similar, not
mediocre students each have their own glory. although i don’t think my life is
brilliant, and failure of comparison but i’m glad i gain
much more than i lost. every one of us
dreams of the university halls, in order to come to the palace we experience
hardships. now that we have crossed the threshold, so we have a lot of
personality in the halls of this dream. college is not a fantasy, not a dream,
and certainly not delusional, but our great ideal. as long as we are fighting
for. some day we will achieve everything! you will hear maple stream boat, you
will see kim laughs, and you’ll smell the fruit fragrance, because you have
been in the harvest season!

第五篇：大学英语演讲稿--我的大学生活
英语口语演讲my
college,my life
college life is colorful, but also need us
to grasp and deep experience. someone said: "ordinary college students
have the same ordinary, but not the ordinary university but has its own
brilliant." but, you can choose to ordinary, but not can choose
mediocrity; if you can’t believe that ordinary. so, how can we make our own
university life worthwhile meaningful, how to advocate their university life? i
just talk about personal time view.
first is to establish goals and plans,
farther gaze. the ancients have "volunteers," save lofty when
mao zedong also has "custom long appropriate looking
quantity". no goal will not have the efforts to advance direction, and
with no power at all. project goals, can divide again for immediate and
long-term. such as the recent i will read as many books as this month i should
know what knowledge, holiday what practice plan to wait. for the long-term such
as: before graduation of diploma, get relationships should be much, how should
practice ability to the degree, etc. moreover, the realization of the goal is a
little wrath coherent process meter to realize. if one day, to remember five
words can be written to many test. but, this requires persistence and
perseverance.
second, is to put far vision, it is to
point to not be temporary mood and mood that what will be done to drag,
addiction, it must be great business event grasps, small relax. such as online
gaming, don’t be such by the goal of satisfying some have been addicted, what
does not know, temporarily meet the bigger behind the emptiness. believe we all
have this experience.
the first three is to establish employment
crisis. we always blame myself himself is not strong, control force without
aspirant power. what does not know is own consciousness not awake. someone will
say: "love is study power" or "disadvantaged study
power", etc. actually, from direct sense, employment crisis is also
should be our progress power. i often think of yourself after graduation
actually do? the diploma, just college; relations, believe in sit nothing most
of the relationship. so, we the only way out is to have what ability. and this,
then ask yourself: what you learned, you master? the problem now is not what we
do not know to learn, but we don’t want to learn.
fourth, is to learn knowledge and capacity
development simultaneously. before is heavy knowledge and light ability, but
it’s different now, just contrary, because social influence, diploma
requirements of decline, so now properly many college students run outside

it is such an honor and pleasure for me to
be back at yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary. i have
had so many memories of my time here, and as nick was speaking i thought about
how i ended up at yale law school. and it tells a little bit about how much
progress we’ve made.
what i think most about when i think of
yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the
superb legal education that i received. it was at yale that i began work that
has been at the core of what i have cared about ever since. i began working
with new haven legal services representing children. and i studied child
development, abuse and neglect at the yale new haven hospital and the child
study center. i was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with
marian wright edelman at the children’s defense fund, where i went to work after i graduated. those
experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children,
particularly the most vulnerable.
now, looking back, there is no way that i
could have predicted what path my life would have taken. i didn’t sit around the law school,
saying, well, you know, i think i’ll graduate and then i’ll go to work at the children’s defense fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and nixon retired
or resigns, i’ll go to
arkansas. i didn’t think like
that. i was taking each day at a time.
but, i’ve been very fortunate because i’ve always had an idea in my mind about what i thought was important
and what gave my life meaning and purpose. a set of values and beliefs that
have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to
illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should
care about and believe in. a passion to succeed at what l thought was important
and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. because l
have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most
blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child
deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her god-given potential.
but you know that belief and conviction-it
may make for a personal mission statement, but standing alone, not translated
into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for
whom you have those concerns.
when i was thinking about running for the
united states senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one i never
could have dreamed that i would have been making when i was
here on campus-i visited a school in new
york city and i met a young woman, who was a star athlete.
i was there because of billy jean king
promoting an hbo special about women in sports called “dare to compete.” it was
about title ix and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided
opportunities to girls and women in sports.
and although i played not very well at
intramural sports, i have always been a strong supporter of women in sports.
and i was introduced by this young woman, and as i went to shake her hand she
obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying i should or
shouldn’t run for the
senate. and i was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she
held onto my hand and she said, “dare to compete, mrs. clinton. dare to
compete.”
i took that to heart because it is hard to
compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for
everyone to see and you don’t know what is going to happen from one day to the next. and yet so
much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves
to be the best we can be, being involved in classes or professions or just
life, where we know we are competing with others.
i took her advice and i did compete because
i chose to do so. and the biggest choices that you’ll face in your life will be yours
alone to make. i’m sure you’ll receive good advice. you’re got a great education to go back
and reflect about what is right for you, but you eventually will have to choose
and i hope that you will dare to compete. and by that i don’t mean the kind of cutthroat
competition that is too often characterized by what is driving america today. i
mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take
this risk, you can take this next step.
and it doesn’t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed. in
fact, you won’t. there are
setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments. you will be slowed
down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you. but if you carry
with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own
life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others. you can get back up,
you can keep going.
but it is also important, as i have found,
not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here
today, none of us is deserving of full credit. i think every day of the
blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. i chose neither my
family nor my country, but they as much as anything i’ve ever done, determined my course.
you compare my or your circumstances with
those of the majority of people who’ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born
knowing too well what their futures will be. they lack the freedom to choose
their life’s path. they’re imprisoned by circumstances of
poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.
so, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even
more difficult, dare to care. dare to care about people who need our help to
succeed and fulfill their own lives. there are so many out there and
sometimes all it takes is the simplest of
gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already. i know that
the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community
organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.
you have been there trying to serve because
you have believed both that it was the right thing to do and because it gave
something back to you. you have dared to care.
well, dare to care to fight for equal
justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry. dare
to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources.
dare to care about protecting our environment. dare to care about the 10
million children in our country who lack health insurance. dare to care about
the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail. the seven
million people who suffer from hiv/aids. and thank you for caring enough to
demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this
world with hiv/aids, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.
and i’ll also add, dare enough to care about our political process. you
know, as i go and speak with students i’m impressed so much, not only in formal settings, on campuses, but
with my daughter and her friends, about how much you care, about how willing
you are to volunteer and serve. you may have missed the last wave of the
dot.com revolution, but you’ve understood that the dot.community revolution is there for you
every single day. and you’ve been willing to be part of remarking lives in our community.
and yet, there is a real resistance, a
turning away from the political process. i hope that some of you will be public
servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make
and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand
how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our
democracy.
your generation, the first one born after
the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a
society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to
grips with, our rapidly changing world.
and so bring your values and experiences
and insights into politics. dare to help make, not just a difference in
politics, but create a different politics. some have called you the generation
of choice. you’ve been
raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and
multiple lifestyles. you’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not
imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.
you’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your
life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought
possible. and i think as i look at all the surveys and research that is done,
your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.
the social indicators, not the headlines,
the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests
being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down.
community service and religious involvement
being up. but if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the
numbers tell a far more troubling tale. many of you i know believe that service
and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country
than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following
multiples or choose them all-government either can’t understand or won’t make the right choices because of
political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.
well, i admit there is enough truth in that
critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated. but at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national
peril. political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity
and responsibility as well as community. americorps and the peace corps exist
because of political decisions. our air, water, land and food will be clean and
safe because of political choices. our ability to cure disease or log onto the
internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments.
ethnic cleansing in kosovo ended because of political leadership. your parents
and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized
transportation systems. many used gi bills or government loans, as i did, to
attend college.
now, i could, as you might guess, go on and
on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation
has to stake its claim. and, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether
or not to make the choice to participate. it is hard and it is, bringing change
in a democracy, particularly now. there’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights,
to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.
it is not the vast conspiracy you may have
heard about; rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation
that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious
consumerism.
but as many have said before and as vaclav
havel has said to memorably, “it cannot suffice just to invent new machines,
new regulations and new institutions. it is necessary to understand differently
and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this earth and of our
deeds.” and i think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that
we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate
our god-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.
during my campaign, when times were tough
and days were long i used to think about the example of harriet tubman, a
heroic new yorker, a 19th century moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds
of slaves to freedom. she would say to those who she gathered up in the south
where she kept going back year after year from the safety of auburn, new york,
that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. if they heard shouts
behind them, they had to keep going. if they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to
keep going to freedom. well, those aren’t the risks we face. it is more the silence and apathy and
indifference that dogs our heels.
thirty-two years ago, i spoke at my own
graduation from wellesley, where i did call on my fellow classmates to reject
the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead to
embrace the idea that the goal of education
should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of
our being the art of making possible.
for after all, our fate is to be free. to
choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia,
and love over hate.
just as this is a special time in your
lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four
weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and
beginning a new life. and as i think about all the parents and grandparents who
are out there, i have a sense of what their feeling. their hearts are leaping
with joy, but it’s hard to
keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place
such as this is really a fulfillment of our own american dreams. well, i
applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as i applaud
your daughters and sons for theirs.
and i leave these graduates with the same
message i hope to leave with my graduate. dare to compete. dare to care. dare
to dream. dare to love. practice the art of making possible. and no matter what
happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.
wherefore, o judge, be good cheer about
death, and know of a certainty, that no evil can happen to a good man, either
in life or after death. he and his are not neglected by the gods; nor has my
own approaching end happened by mere chance. but i see clearly that the time
had arrived when it was better for me to die and be released from trouble
wherefore the oracle gave no sign. for which reason, also, i am not angry with
my condemners, or with my accusers; they have done men harm, although they did
not mean to do me any good; and for this i may gently blame them.
still i have a favour to ask of them.
when my sons are grown up, i would ask you, o my friends, to punish them; and i
would have you trouble them, as i have troubled you, if they seem to care about
riches, or anything, more than about virtue; or if they pretend to be something
when they are really nothing, ─then reprove them, as i have reproved you, for
not caring about that for which they ought to care, and thinking that they are
something when they are really nothing. and if you do this, both i and my sons
will have received justice at your hands.
the hour of departure has arrived, and we
go our ways─i to die, and you to live. which is better god only knows.
i, general de gaulle, speaking from
london, invited the french officers and soldiers who may be in british
territory now or at a later date, with their arms or without their arms─i
invent the engineers and the workers skilled in the manufacture of armaments
who may be; now or in the future, on british soil─to get in touch with me.
whatever may come, the flames of french
resistance must never be extinguished; and it will not extinguish.
tomorrow, as i have today, i shall speak
over the london broadcast.
on the whole, sir, i can not help
expressing a wish that every member of the convention who may still have objections
to it, would, with me, on this occasion, doubt a little of his own
infallibility, and, to make manifest our unanimity, put his name to this
instrument.
i preach to you, then, my countrymen,
that our country calls for the life of ease, but for the life of strenuous
endeavor. the twentieth century looms before us big with the fate of many
nations. if we stand idly by, if we seek merely swollen, slothful ease, and
ignoble peace, if we shrink from the hard contests where men must win at hazard
of their lives and at the risk of all they hold dear, then the bolder and
stronger peoples will pass us by and will win for therefore the domination of
the world. let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our
duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by deed and by word;
resolute to be both honest and brave, to (本文来源91考试网WwW.91exam.org)serve
high ideals, yet to use practical methods. above all, let us shrink from no
strike, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are
certain that the strife is justified; for it is only through strife, through
hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true
national greatness.
o liberty! o sounds delightful to every
roman ear! o sacred privilege of roman citizenship! once sacred, ─now trampled
on! is it come to this? shall an inferior magistrate, a governor, who holds his
whole power of the roman people, in roman province within sight of italy, bind,
scourge, torture, and put to an infamous death, a roman citizen? shall neither
the cries of innocence expiring in agony, the tears of pitying spectators, the
majesty of the roman commonwealth nor the fear of justice of his country
restrain the merciless monster, who, in the confidence of his riches, strikes
at the very root of liberty, and sets mankind at defiance? and shall this man
escape? fathers, it must not be! it must not be, unless you would undermine the
very foundations of social safety, strangle justice, and call down anarchy,
massacre, and ruin, on the commonwealth!

this declaration will stand. it may cost treasure; and it may cost blood; but
it will stand, and it will richly compensate for both. through the thick gloom
of the present i see the brightness of the future as the sun in heaven. we

the memory of burns─i am afraid heaven
and earth have taken too good care of it to leave us anything to say. the west
winds are murmuring it. open the windows behind you, and hearken for the
incoming tide, what the waves say of it. the doves, perching always on the
eaves of the stone chapel (king’s chapel) opposite, may know something about
it. every home in broad scotland keeps his fame bright. the memory of
burns─every man’s and boy’s, and girl’s head carried snatches of his songs, and
can say them by heart, and, what is strangest of all, never learned them from a
book, but from mouth to mouth. the wind whispers them the birds whistle them,
the corn, barley, and bulrushes brassily rustle them; nay, the music boxes at
geneva are framed and toothed to play them; the hand organs of the sao yards in
all cities repeat them, and the chimes of bells ring them in the spires. they
are they property and the solace of mankind.
fly then to arms: let a holy rage animate
you in the fight, and let the christian world resound with these words of the
prophet, “cursed be he who does not stain his sword with blood!” if the calls
you to the defense of his heritage think not that his legions angels or breathe
one word and all his enemies would crumble away into dust? but god has
considered the sons of men, to open for them the road to his mercy. his
goodness has caused to dawn for you a day of safety by calling on you to avenge
his glory and his name.
christian warriors, he who gave his life
for you, today demands yours in return. these are combats worthy of you, combat
in which it is glorious to conquer and advantageous to die. illustrious
knights, generous defenders of the cross, remember the examples of your fathers
who conquered jersusale, and whose names are inscribed in heaven; abandon then
the things that perish, to gather unfading palms, and conquer a kingdom which
has no end.
and love, young men, loves and venerates
the ideal. the ideal is the word of god. high above every country, high above
humanity, is the country of spirit, the city of the soul, in which all are
brethren who believe in the inviolability of thought and in the dignity of our
immortal soul; and the baptism of this fraternity is martyrdom. from that high
sphere spring the principles, which alone can redeem the peoples. arise from
the sake of these, and not from impatience of suffering or dread of evil, anger,
pride, ambition, and the desire of material prosperity are arms common alike to
the peoples and their oppressors, and even should you conquer with these today,
you would fall again tomorrow, but principles belong to the peoples alone and
their oppressors can find no arms to oppose them. adore enthusiasm, the dreams
of the virgin soul, and the visions of early youth, for they are a perfume of
paradise, which the soul retains in issuing from the hands of its creator.
respect above all things your conscience; have upon our lips the truth
implanted by god in your hearts, and, while laboring in harmony, even with
those who differ from you, in all that tends to the emancipation of our soil,
yet ever bear your own banner erect and boldly promulgate your own faith.
such words, young men, would the martyrs
of cosines have spoken, had they been living amongst you; and here, where it
may be that, invoked by our love, their holy spirits hover near us, i call upon
you to gather them up in your hearts and to make of them a treasure amid the
storms that yet threaten you; storms which, with the name of our martyrs on
your lips and their faith in your hearts, you will overcome.
and, consequently, marx was the best-hated
and most calumniated man of his time. governments, both absolutist and
republican, deported him from their territories. bourgeois, the conservative or
ultra democratic, view with one another in heaping slanders cobweb, ignoring
it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. and he died beloved,
revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow workers─from the mines
of siberia to california. in parts of europe and america─and i make bold to say
that though. he may have had many opponents he had hardly one personal enemy.
his name will endure through the ages,
and so also will his work!
in the national rejoicing and pride, the
french people send brotherly greetings to their gallant allies, who, like
themselves and for the same cause, have sustained so many hardships over such a
long period, to their heroic armies and to those commanding them, and to all
those men and women who, throughout the world, fought, suffered and worked so
that the cause of liberty and justice might ultimately prevail.
chairman mao has written, “so many deeds
cry out to be done, and always urgently; the world rolls on, time presses. ten
thousand years are too long, seize the day, seize the hour!”
this is the hour, this is the day for our
two peoples to rise to the heights of greatness which can build a new and a
better world.
in that spirit, i ask all of you present
to join me in raising your glasses to chairman mao, to prime minister zhou, and
to the friendship of the chinese and american people which can lead to
friendship and peace for all people in the world.
--(speech by president nixon of the united
states at welcoming banquet 21 february, 1972)
my friends, allow me to quote a
traditional famous chinese poem as my end. i think we can further and better
understand that our parents love us warmly and deeply like that of a spring.
now i will recite the poem:
the thread in mother’s hand─
a gown for parting son.
sewn stitch by stitch, alas!
for fear of cold he’ll stand.
such kindness of warm sun
can’t be repaid by grass.
may every one of us respect
and love our parents!
may our society be full of love!
thank you all!
朋友们：最后我提议，让我们一道重温中国一首古老的歌谣，从中再次领悟一番父母对儿女春天般的厚爱：
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。
愿我们都拥有一颗孝心！
愿我们的社会充满爱心！
谢谢大家！
the last cause of this disobedient spirit
in the colonies is hardly less powerful than the rest, as it is not merely
moral, but laid deep in the natural constitution of things. three thousand
miles of ocean lie between you and them. no contrivance can prevent the effect
of this distance in weakening government. seas roll and months pass between the
order and the execution; and the want of a speedy explanation of a single point
is enough to defeat the whole system. you have, indeed, “wingled ministers” of
vengence, who carry your bolts in their pouches to the remotes verge of the
sea. but there a power steps in that limits the arrogance of raging passion and
furious elements, and says: “so far shalt though go, and no farther.”
there is saying that about the sun which
makes us forget his spots, and when we think of general grant our pulses
quicken and his grammar vanishes; we only remember that this is the simple
soldier, who, all in taught of the silken phrase makers, linked words together
with an art surpassing the art of the schools and put into them a something
which will still bring to american ears, as long as america shall last, the
roll of his vanished drums and the tread of his marching hosts. what do we care
for grammar when we think of those thunderous phrases; “unconditional and
immediate surrender”, “i propose to move immediately upon your words”, “i
propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer”. mr arnold would
doubtless claim that that last phrase is not strictly grammatical, and yet it
did certainly make up this nation as a hundred million tons of a no.1, fourth
proof, hard-boilded, hidebound grammar from another mouth could not have done.
and finally we have that gentler phrase, that one which shows you another true
side of the man, shows you that in his soldier heart there was room for other
than glory war mottoes and his tongue the gift to fitfully phrase them─”let us
have peace”.
to summarize what i have said: aim for
the highest, never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at
meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund make the
firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all
your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within
revenue; lastly be not impatient, for, as emerson says, “no one can cheat you
out of ultimate success but yourselves”.
