英汉翻译讲座(复旦大学讲义I、上次课外练习参考译文:我们正面临着一个新时代。
随你怎么称呼它:服务经济也好,信息时代也好,知识社会也好,一句话,都说明了我们工作方式的根本变化。
事实上我们已经开始进入这个时代。
西方社会依靠制造产品谋生的人数比例急剧下降了。
今天,在美洲、欧洲和日本,大多数人(这些国家中有许多国家已高达三分之二以上)从事服务业,而且人数还在增加。
跟从前相比,妇女从业的人数增加了,兼职工作增加了,个体经营者增加了。
但是,经济变革幅度的衡量不能只凭数字,因为经济变革同时也引发了对工作本质的全新思维。
有关工作和职业生涯、获得成功所必须的技能、乃至个人与雇主的关系,种种传统的观念正在受到挑战。
我们只要回顾从前,就可以对未来有所了解。
没有那一位展望未来20年的人能够预料到硅片这样一项发明,因其在个人电脑、数字通讯和工业机器人中的应用,会给我们的世界带来的种种变化。
明天在生物技术、人工智能或者有些迄今为止甚至难以想象的技术方面所取得的成就,可能会引起类似的急剧变化。
但有一点是肯定的:信息和知识将变得更加重要,而拥有信息和知识的人们,无论他们从事制造业或者服务业,将会具有优势并创造财富,计算机技术将与读写能力一样成为一种基本要求。
运用信息解决问题的能力,而不是日常工作的完成,将尤其受到重视。
展望未来10年,信息服务将支配一切,将成为你的工作方式。

里根第二次就职演讲里根第二次就职演讲篇一:总统演讲分析--里根第二次就职演讲分析美国总统里根第二次就职演讲分析 Shan Cheng 摘要:为美国总统里根的第二次就职演说,因为其属于总统演讲,所以有其特定的语篇模式,这是由西方的修辞思维与表达模式决定的。
完美的英语演讲不仅要求演讲者英语流、而且要求演讲语篇布局合理,突出西方的修辞思维与表达模式的特点。
为了有效地用英语进行演讲,我们必须保证开头段落的新颖与独特吸引力,结尾段落做到呼应和强调,主体要点形成合理的布局,段落语句之间衔接自然流畅。
试图从语篇模式以及一些系统功能的角度对美国总统里根第二次就职演说进行分析,以揭示演讲文体的意义以及其语篇、语言的体现。
关键词:总统演讲;合理布局;语篇模式;引言随着英语国际地位的提高与其影响力的与日俱增,英语演讲也逐渐进入到社会生活的方方面面。
其作为一种独特的语体,在世界各地经久不衰,表现了顽强的生命力。
演讲作为一门艺术,一种交际,一种传播和教育手段在当今社会仍发挥着巨大的作用。
但国人用英语演讲时往往受中国固定思维模式的影响,虽然英语讲得漂亮很流利,语句也很通顺,但所表达的意思往往不被西方人认同和接受。
其中一个原因就是国人在用英语表达和演讲时没有遵循英语演讲语篇的模式,而是毫无逻辑地用中式思维模式表达自己的观点。
一、英语演讲语篇的基本模式及其概念英语演讲的语篇构成有三大部分:Introdution,Bod,Conlusion。
Introdution 的功能为吸引听众、引起关注、建立演讲者的信誉、简述演讲主体中的要点。
Bod,即演讲的主体部分。
演讲者可以根据演讲的主题按不同的模式组织布局。
如可以根据时间、空间顺序可以遵循因果顺序、问题和方式顺序;亦可以将演讲主题细分为几个分点进行阐述。
演讲的主体部分将在第二部分详述。
同时,演讲的结尾部分也应当是演讲的高潮部分,演讲者需要总结演讲的主旨和意图,并以一种使听众产生共鸣的方式来升华主题,并与 introdution相呼应,给听众一种心理上的统一感。
大家好!今天,我站在这里,有幸与大家共同见证这个庄严而神圣的时刻。
我感到无比激动和自豪,因为我有幸成为这个伟大国家的总统,有机会为我们的国家和人民贡献自己的力量。
首先,我要向那些为我国繁荣富强付出辛勤努力的广大劳动者表示崇高的敬意!正是因为你们的努力,我们的国家才能在世界舞台上崭露头角,赢得尊重。
同时,我也要向那些为我国科技、教育、文化等领域做出卓越贡献的专家学者们表示衷心的感谢!在这个充满挑战和机遇的时代,我们面临着诸多困难和问题。
然而,我相信,只要我们紧密团结在党的周围,坚定信念,奋发向前,就一定能够战胜一切困难,实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦。
今天,我想与大家分享一些我个人的经历和感悟,希望能够给大家带来一些启示和力量。
一、坚定信念,勇往直前我出生在一个普通的家庭,从小生活在农村。
那时候,我国正处在改革开放初期,人民生活水平普遍较低。
然而,我从小就怀揣着对美好生活的向往,立志要为国家和人民作出贡献。
在成长的过程中,我遇到了很多困难和挫折。
但是,每当我遇到困难时,我都会告诉自己:“只要心中有信念,勇往直前,就一定能够战胜一切!”正是这种信念,让我在逆境中不断成长,最终走上了政治舞台。
二、勤奋学习,充实自己在我的职业生涯中,我深知知识的重要性。
因此,我始终坚持勤奋学习,充实自己。
我相信,只有不断学习,才能跟上时代的步伐,才能更好地为国家和人民服务。
在我国改革开放的过程中,我亲眼见证了科技、教育、文化等领域的飞速发展。
这些成就的取得,离不开广大人民群众的辛勤付出,更离不开我国坚持科教兴国战略的坚定决心。
三、团结协作,共创辉煌一个国家的繁荣昌盛,离不开全体人民的共同努力。
在过去的几十年里,我国人民团结一心,克服了一个又一个困难,取得了举世瞩目的成就。
团结协作,是中华民族的传统美德。
在新的历史时期,我们要继续发扬这种精神,携手共进,共创辉煌。
我相信,只要我们心往一处想,劲往一处使,就一定能够实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦。
January 20, 1981Senator Hatfield, Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. President, Vice president Bush, Vice President Mondale, Senator Baker, Speaker O'Neill, Reverend Moomaw, and my fellow citizens:To a few of us here today, this is a solemn and most momentous occasion; and yet, in the history of our Nation, it is a commonplace occurrence. The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place as it has for almost two centuries and few of us stop to think how unique we really are. In the eyes of many in the world, this every-4-year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle.Mr. President, I want our fellow citizens to know how much you did to carry on this tradition. By your gracious cooperation in the transition process, you have shown a watching world that we are a united people pledged to maintaining a political system which guarantees individual liberty to a greater degree than any other, and I thank you and your people for all your help in maintaining the continuity which is the bulwark of our Republic.The business of our nation goes forward. These United States are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions. We suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. It distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed- income elderly alike. It threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people.Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, causing human misery and personal indignity. Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity.But great as our tax burden is, it has not kept pace with public spending. For decades, we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present. To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political, and economic upheavals.You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation?We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be nomisunderstanding--we are going to begin to act, beginning today.◆The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades.They will not go away in days, weeks, or months, but they will go away. ◆They will go away because we, as Americans, have the capacity now, as we have had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem.From time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.We hear much of special interest groups. Our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and our factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we are sick--professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truckdrivers. They are, in short, "We the people," this breed called Americans.Well, this administration's objective will be a healthy, vigorous, growing economy that provides equal opportunity for all Americans, with no barriers born of bigotry or discrimination. Putting America back to work means putting all Americans back to work. Ending inflation means freeing all Americans from the terror of runaway living costs. All must share in the productive work of this "new beginning" and all must share in the bounty of a revived economy. With the idealism and fair play which are the core of our system and our strength, we can have a strong and prosperous America at peace with itself and the world.So, as we begin, let us take inventory. We are a nation that has a government--not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our Government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed.It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people. All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government.Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it is not my intention to do away with government. It is, rather, to make it work-work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.If we look to the answer as to why, for so many years, we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here, in this land, we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We are not, as some would have us believe, loomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will all on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing. So, with all the creative energy at our command, let us begin an era of national renewal. Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength. And let us renew; our faith and our hope.We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we are in a time when there are no heroes just don't know where to look. You can see heroes every day going in and out of factory gates. Others, a handful in number, produce enough food to feed all of us and then the world beyond. You meet heroes across a counter--and they are on both sides of that counter. There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create new jobs, new wealth and opportunity. They are individuals and families whose taxes support the Government and whose voluntary gifts support church, charity, culture, art, and education. Their patriotism is quiet but deep. Their values sustain our national life.I have used the words "they" and "their" in speaking of these heroes. I could say "you" and "your" because I am addressing the heroes of whom Ispeak--you, the citizens of this blessed land. Your dreams, your hopes, your goals are going to be the dreams, the hopes, and the goals of this administration, so help me God.We shall reflect the compassion that is so much a part of your makeup. How can we love our country and not love our countrymen, and loving them, reach out a hand when they fall, heal them when they are sick, and provide opportunities to make them self- sufficient so they will be equal in fact and not just in theory?Can we solve the problems confronting us? Well, the answer is an unequivocal and emphatic "yes." To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.In the days ahead I will propose removing the roadblocks that have slowed our economy and reduced productivity. Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government. Progress may be slow--measured in inches and feet, not miles--but we will progress. Is it time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles, there will be no compromise.On the eve of our struggle for independence a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, President of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, "Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of.... On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves."Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children and our children's children.And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom.To those neighbors and allies who share our freedom, we will strengthen our historic ties and assure them of our support and firm commitment. We will match loyalty with loyalty. We will strive for mutually beneficial relations. We will not use our friendship to impose on their sovereignty, for or own sovereignty is not for sale.As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it--now or ever.Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act. We will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength.Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors.I am told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day, and for that I am deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. It would be fitting and good, I think, if on each Inauguration Day in future years it should be declared a day of prayer.This is the first time in history that this ceremony has been held, as you have been told, on this West Front of the Capitol. Standing here, one faces a magnificent vista, opening up on this city's special beauty and history. At the end of this open mall are those shrines to the giants on whose shoulders we stand.Directly in front of me, the monument to a monumental man: George Washington, Father of our country. A man of humility who came to greatness reluctantly. He led America out of revolutionary victory into infant nationhood. Off to one side, the stately memorial to Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration of Independence flames with his eloquence.And then beyond the Reflecting Pool the dignified columns of the Lincoln Memorial. Whoever would understand in his heart the meaning of America will find it in the life of Abraham Lincoln.Beyond those monuments to heroism is the Potomac River, and on the far shore the sloping hills of Arlington National Cemetery with its row on row of simple white markers bearing crosses or Stars of David. They add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our freedom.Each one of those markers is a monument to the kinds of hero I spoke of earlier. Their lives ended in places called Belleau Wood, The Argonne, Omaha Beach, Salerno and halfway around the world on Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Pork Chop Hill, the Chosin Reservoir, and in a hundred rice paddies and jungles of a place called Vietnam.Under one such marker lies a young man--Martin Treptow--who left his job in a small town barber shop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division. There, on the western front, he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire.We are told that on his body was found a diary. On the flyleaf under the heading, "My Pledge," he had written these words: "America must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone."The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow and so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best effort, and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds; to believe that together, with God's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us.And, after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans. God bless you, and thank you.议员海特菲尔德先生、法官先生、总统先生、副总统布什、蒙代尔先生、议员贝克先生、发言人奥尼尔先生、尊敬的摩麦先生,以及广大支持我的美国同胞们:今天对于我们中间的一些人来说,是一个非常庄严隆重的时刻。

Ronald ReaganJanuary 28, 1986Printer-Friendly VersionLadies and Gentlemen, I’d planned to speak to you tonight to report on the state of the Union, but the events of earlier today have led me to change those plans. Today is a day for mourning and remembering. Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger. We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. This is truly a national loss.Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. But, we’ve never lost an astronaut in flight; we’ve never had a tragedy like this. And perhaps we’ve forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle; but they, the Challenger Seven, were aware of the dangers, but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. We mourn seven heroes: Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe. We mourn their loss as a nation together.For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we’re thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, "give me a challenge and I’ll meet it with joy." They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us.We’ve grown used to wonders in this century. It’s hard to dazzle us. But for twenty-five years the United States space program has been doing just that. We’ve grown used to the idea of space, and perhaps we forget that we’ve only just begun. We’re still pioneers. They, the member of the Challenger crew, were pioneers.And I want to say something to the schoolchildren of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle’s takeoff. I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen. It’s all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It’s all part of taking a chance and expanding man’s horizons. The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we’ll continue to follow them.I’ve always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don’t hide our space program. We don’t keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That’s the way freedom is, and we wouldn’t change it for a minute. We’llcontinue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue. I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: "Your dedication and professionalism have moved an impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it."There’s a coincidence today. On this day 390 years ago, the great expl orer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said, "He lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it." Well, today we can say of the challenger crew: Their dedication was, like Drake’s, complete.The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three days later, President Reagan delivered the following remarks at a memorial service held in Houston following the Challenger disaster, Jan. 31, 1986.We come together today to mourn the loss of seven brave Americans, to share the grief we all feel and, perhaps in that sharing, to find the strength to bear our sorrow and the courage to look for the seeds of hope.Our nation’s loss is first a profound personal loss to the family and the friends and loved ones of our shuttle astronauts. To those they have left behind - the mothers, the fathers, the husbands and wives, brothers, sisters, and yes, especially the children - all of America stands beside you in your time of sorrow.What we say today is only an inadequate expression of what we carry in our hearts. Words pale in the shadow of grief; they seem insufficient even to measure the brave sacrifice of those you loved and we so admired. Their truest testimony will not be in the words we speak, but in the way they led their lives and in the way they lost those lives - with dedication, honor and an unquenchable desire to explore this mysterious and beautiful universe.The best we can do is remember our seven astronauts - our ChallengerSeven - remember them as they lived, bringing life and love and joy to those who knew them and pride to a nation.They came from all parts of this great country - from South Carolina to Washington State; Ohio to Mohawk, New York; Hawaii to North Carolina to Concord, New Hampshire. They were so different, yet in their mission, their quest, they held so much in common.We remember Dick Scobee, the commander who spoke the last words we heard from the space shuttle Challenger. He served as a fighter pilot in Vietnam, earning many medals for bravery, and later as a test pilot of advanced aircraft before joining the space program. Danger was a familiar companion to Commander Scobee.We remember Michael Smith, who earned enough medals as a combat pilot to cover his chest, including the Navy Distinguished Flying Cross, three Air Medals - and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star, in gratitude from a nation that he fought to keep free.We remember Judith Resnik, known as J.R. to her friends, always smiling, always eager to make a contribution, finding beauty in the music she played on her piano in her off-hours.We remember Ellison Onizuka, who, as a child running barefoot through the coffee fields and macadamia groves of Hawaii, dreamed of someday traveling to the Moon. Being an Eagle Scout, he said, had helped him soar to the impressive achievement of his career.We remember Ronald McNair, who said that he learned perseverance in the cotton fields of South Carolina. His dream was to live aboard the space station, performing experiments and playing his saxophone in the weightlessness of space; Ron, we will miss your saxophone and we will build your space station.We remember Gregory Jarvis. On that ill-fated flight he was carrying with him a flag of his university in Buffalo, New York - a small token he said, to the people who unlocked his future.We remember Christa McAuliffe, who captured the imagination of the entire nation, inspiring us with her pluck, her restless spirit of discovery; a teacher, not just to her students, but to an entire people, instilling us all with the excitement of this journey we ride into the future.We will always remember them, these skilled professionals, scientists and adventurers, these artists and teachers and family men and women, and we will cherish each of their stories - stories of triumph and bravery, stories of true American heroes.On the day of the disaster, our nation held a vigil by our television sets. In one cruel moment, our exhilaration turned to horror; we waited and watched and tried to make sense of what we had seen. That night, I listened to a call-in program on the radio: people of every age spoke of their sadness and the pride they felt in `our astronauts.’ Across America, we are reaching out, holding hands, finding comfort in one another.The sacrifice of your loved ones has stirred the soul of our nation and, through the pain, our hearts have been opened to a profound truth - the future is not free, the story of all human progress is one of a struggle against all odds. We learned again that this America, which Abraham Lincoln called the last best hope of man on Earth, was built on heroism and noble sacrifice. It was built by men and women like our seven star voyagers, who answered a call beyond duty, who gave more than was expected or required, and who gave it with little thought to worldly reward.We think back to the pioneers of an earlier century, and the sturdy souls who took their families and the belongings and set out into the frontier of the American West. Often, they met with terrible hardship. Along the Oregon Trail you can still see the grave markers of those who fell on the way. But grief only steeled them to the journey ahead.Today, the frontier is space and the boundaries of human knowledge. Sometimes, when we reach for the stars, we fall short. But we must pick ourselves up again and press on despite the pain. Our nation is indeed fortunate that we can still draw on immense reservoirs of courage, character and fortitude - that we are still blessed with heroes like those of the space shuttle Challenger.Dick Scobee knew that every launching of a space shuttle is a technological miracle. And he said, if something ever does go wrong, I hope that doesn’t mean the end to the space shuttle program. Every family member I talked to asked specifically that we continue the program, that that is what their departed loved one would want above all else. We will not disappoint them. Today, we promise Dick Scobee and his crew that their dream lives on; that the future they worked so hard to build will become reality. The dedicated men and women of NASA have lost seven members of their family. Still, they too,must forge ahead, with a space program that is effective, safe and efficient, but bold and committed.Man will continue his conquest of space. To reach out for new goals and ever greater achievements - that is the way we shall commemorate our seven Challenger heroes.Dick, Mike, Judy, El, Ron, Greg and Christa - your families and your country mourn your passing. We bid you goodbye. We will never forget you. For those who knew you well and loved you, the pain will be deep and enduring. A nation, too, will long feel the loss of her seven sons and daughters, her seven good friends. We can find consolation only in faith, for we know in our hearts that you who flew so high and so proud now make your home beyond the stars, safe in God’s prom ise of eternal life.May God bless you all and give you comfort in this difficult time.Ronald ReaganJanuary 28, 1986Printer-Friendly Version中文今天,我们聚集在一起,沉痛地哀悼我们失去的七位勇敢的公民,共同分担内心的悲痛,或许在相互间的安慰中,我们能够得到承受痛苦的力量并坚定追求理想的信念。
里根就挑站者号航天飞机失事悲剧英语演讲稿:哀思已过,迎来新的未来Ladies and gentlemen,It is with heavy hearts that we gather today to remember the tragic loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger and its crew, including our nation's first teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe. On January 28th, 1986, as the shuttle was taking off, it exploded 73 seconds into its flight, killing allseven crew members on board. This event shook our nation and the world, as we mourned the loss of brave astronauts who had dedicated their lives to exploring the unknown.But today, as we gather to remember this historic tragedy, we also want to reflect on the lessons we learned from the incident and the progress we have made since then. We must recognize the bravery of those who have gone before us, butwe must also look ahead, to a new era of space explorationand discovery.The Challenger disaster was a wake-up call for our nation. It was a reminder that space exploration is dangerous and complicated, and that we must never take it for granted. Butit also showed us the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity. Despite the tragedy, NASA continued its mission to explore space and has achieved extraordinary feats over the past few decades, including the construction and operation of the International Space Station and multiple Mars missions.Today, NASA and other space agencies are working toward the next frontier in human space exploration: sending humans to Mars. This mission will require unprecedentedtechnological advancements and political will, but it is achievable. We have already made great strides in this area, including the successful landing of the Mars Perseverance rover earlier this year.But we must also remember that space exploration is a collective endeavor. It requires the collaboration and support of governments, private companies, and international partners. We must continue to build international partnerships and share knowledge and resources to ensure the success of future missions.As we remember the Challenger and its crew today, we must also honor their legacy by continuing to explore space andpush the boundaries of human knowledge. We must recognize the importance of space exploration for our economy, our security, and our understanding of the universe we live in.In conclusion, let us never forget the sacrifice of those who have given their lives in the pursuit of human space exploration. Let us honor their legacy by pushing forward and continuing to explore the unknown. And let us work togetherto ensure that future generations can look back on our timeas the era that marked the beginning of humanity's journey to the stars. Thank you.。
里根就挑站者号航天飞机失事悲剧英语演讲稿:悼念先烈,铭记历史,勇攀高峰Ladies and gentlemen,It is with a heavy heart that we gather here today to pay our respects to the brave souls that lost their lives on the Challenger space shuttle on January 28th, 1986. The loss ofthe Challenger and its crew was a devastating blow to our nation, to the scientific community, and to everyone who dreamt of setting foot in the stars.On that day, Commander Francis R. Scobee, Pilot Michael J. Smith, Mission Specialist Ronald McNair, Mission Specialist Ellison Onizuka, Teacher-in-Space Payload Specialist Christa McAuliffe, Mission Specialist Gregory Jarvis, and Payload Specialist Judith A. Resnik lost their lives in acatastrophic explosion that shook the world to its core. They embodied the spirit of exploration and adventure, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.The loss of the Challenger was not just a tragedy, it was a wake-up call. It reminded us that space travel is fraught with danger, and that we must never take for granted thechallenges of exploring the unknown. At the same time, it reminded us of the indomitable human spirit, the courage of those who venture into the unknown, and the importance of relentless innovation and progress.Although the Challenger disaster highlighted the risks involved in space travel, it also inspired us to redouble our efforts to conquer the final frontier. As President Ronald Reagan said in his address to the nation in the aftermath of the tragedy, 鈥淲e will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and 鈥榮lipped the surly bonds of Earth鈥?to 鈥榯ouch the face of God鈥?鈥?We owe it to the Challenger crew, and to all those who have sacrificed their lives in pursuit of the stars, to continue our push forward. We must honor their legacy by investing in space exploration, by pushing the boundaries of science, and by inspiring future generations to reach for the stars.In the words of Christa McAuliffe, 鈥淚 touch the future;I teach.鈥?The Challenger crew did not die in vain. They showed us what we are capable of achieving, and what we must continue to struggle and sacrifice for. We must never forgettheir courage and dedication, and we must honor their memory by striving for greatness, for ourselves, and for humanity.In conclusion, let us take a moment to remember the Challenger crew and to honor their memory. Let us rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of knowledge, to the exploration of the unknown, and to the eternal quest for understanding and progress. May their spirits live on in all of us, as we continue to reach for the stars. Thank you.。

http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4d19a4cc01000888.html Remarks at Fudan University in Shanghai, China April 30, 1984 We've been in your country only 5 days, but already we've seen the wonders of a lifetime -- the Great Wall of China, a structure so huge and marvelous that it can be seen from space; the ancient city of Xi'an; and the Tomb of the Great Emperor and the buried army that guards him still. These are the wonders of ages past. But today I want to talk to you, the young people of a great university, about the future, about our future together and how we can transform human life on this planet if we bring as much wisdom and curiosity to each other as we bring to our scholarly pursuits.
I want to begin, though, with some greetings. I bring you greetings not only from my countrymen but from one of your countrymen. Some of you know Ye Yang, who was a student here. He graduated from Fudan and became a teacher of English at this university. Now he is at Harvard University in the United States, where he is studying for a doctorate in comparative literature.
My staff spoke to him before we left. Mr. Ye wants you to know he's doing fine. He's working hard on his spring term papers, and his thoughts turn to you often. He asked me to deliver a message to his former students, colleagues, friends, and family. He asked me to say for him, and I hope I can, ``Wo xiang nian da jia'' [I am thinking of all of you].
He wants you to know that he looks forward to returning to Fudan to teach. And President Xie, he said to tell you he misses your friendship and encouragement. And Mr. Ye says you are a very great woman and a great educator. You will be proud to know that he received straight A's last term. And when we congratulated him, he said, ``I have nothing to be proud of myself; I am so proud of my university.''
I'd like to say a few words about our China-U.S. educational exchange programs. It's not entirely new, this exchanging of students. Your President Xie earned a degree from Smith College in the United States. Smith is also my wife Nancy's alma mater. And President Xie also attended MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of our greatest universities of science, engineering, and technology.
But in the past few years, our two countries have enjoyed an explosion in the number of student exchanges. Five years ago you numbered your students studying abroad in the hundreds. Since then, 20,000 Chinese scholars have studied throughout the world, and more than half of them have come to American schools. More than 100 American colleges and universities now have educational exchanges with nearly as many Chinese institutions. We have committed more resources to our Fulbright program in China than in any other country. Two of the American professors teaching here at Fudan are Fulbright professors. And there are 20 American students studying with you, and we're very proud of them.
American students come to China to learn many things -- how you monitor and predict earthquakes, how you've made such strides in researching the cause and treatment of cancer. We have much to learn from you in neurosurgery and in your use of herbs in medicine. And we welcome the chance to study your language, your history, and your society.
You, in turn, have shown that you're eager to learn, to come to American schools and study electronics and computer sciences, math and engineering, physics, management, and the humanities. We have much to share in these fields, and we're eager to benefit from your curiosity. Much of this sharing is recent, only 5 years old. But the areas of our mutual cooperation continue to expand. We've already agreed to cooperate more closely in trade, technology, investment, and exchanges of scientific and managerial expertise. And we have just concluded an important agreement to help advance our technological and economic development through the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
That term ``peaceful use of nuclear energy'' is key. Our agreement rests upon important principles of nonproliferation. Neither of our countries will encourage nuclear proliferation nor assist any other country to acquire or develop any nuclear explosive device.
We live in a troubled world, and the United States and China, as two great nations, share a special responsibility to help reduce the risks of war. We both agree that there can be only one sane policy to preserve our precious civilization in this modern age: A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. And no matter how great the obstacles may seem, we must never stop our efforts to reduce the weapons of war. We must never stop at all until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of this Earth.
