美国总统奥巴马9月8日开学演讲英文全文Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.Now, as you might imagine, I wasn't too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster." (Laughter.)So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because I want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.Now, I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked about responsibility a lot.I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paper that's assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe evengood enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that -- if you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.Now, I know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.I get it. I know what it's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn't fit in.So I wasn't always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I'm not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.But I was -- I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country. Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying. Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written yourdestiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future. That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn't speak English when she first started school. Neither of her parents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to Brown University -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming Dr. Jazmin Perez.I'm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind. He's headed to college this fall.And then there's Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college. And Jazmin, Andoni, and Shantell aren't any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like you do. In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, I hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. J.K. Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you needto try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?Now, your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn. But you've got to do your part, too. So I expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don't let yourself down. Make us all proud. Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you.嗨，大家好！你们今天过得怎么样？我现在和弗吉尼亚州阿林顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起，全国各地也有从幼儿园到高三的众多学生们通过电视关注这里，我很高兴你们能共同分享这一时刻。

奥巴马纪念911十周年英语演讲稿in just two weeks, we’ll come together, as a nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of the september 11th attacks. we’ll remember the innocent lives we lost. we’ll stand with the families who loved them. we’ll honor the heroic first responders who rushed to the scene and saved so many. and we’ll pay tribute to our troops and military families, and all those who have served over the past ten years, to keep us safe and strong.we’ll also recall how the worst terrorist attack in american history brought out the best in the american people. how americans lined up to give blood. how volunteers drove across the country to lend a hand. how schoolchildren donated their savings. how communities, faith groups and businesses collected food and clothing.we were united, and the outpouring(流露) of generosity and compassion reminded us that in times of challenge, we americans move forward together, as one people.this september 11th, michelle and i will join the commemorations at ground zero, in shanksville, and at thepentagon. but even if you can’t be in new york, pennsylvania or virginia, every american can be part of this anniversary. once again, 9/11 will be a national day of service and remembrance. and in the days and weeks ahead, folks across the country—in all 50 states—will come together, in their communities and neighborhoods, to honor the victims of 9/11 and to reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity.in minneapolis, volunteers will help restore a community center. in winston-salem, north carolina, they’ll hammer shingles and lay floors to give families a new home. in tallahassee, florida, they’ll assemble care packages for our troops overseas and their families here at home. in orange county, california, they’ll renovate homes for our veterans. and once again, michelle and i look forward to joining a local service project as well.there are so many ways to get involved, and every american can do something. to learn more about the opportunities where you live, just go online and visit . even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost; a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.on this 10th anniversary, we still face great challenges as a nation. we’re emerging from the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes. we’re taking the fight to al qaeda, ending the war in iraq and starting to bring our troops home from afghanistan. and we’re working to rebuild the foundation of our national strength here at home.none of this will be easy. and it can’t be the work of government alone. as we saw after 9/11, the strength of america has always been the character and compassion of our people. so as we mark this solemn anniversary, let’s summon that spirit once more. and let’s show that the sense of common purpose that we need in america doesn’t have to be a fleeting(飞逝的) moment; it can be a lasting virtue—not just on one day, but every day.。

国庆节的英语演讲稿——感受祖国70年发展的历程Ladies and gentlemen,It's a great honor for me to stand here today and speak about the development journey of my country, China, on the70th anniversary of its founding. As we celebrate the National Day, it's important to take a moment and reflect upon what our nation has achieved in the past seven decades.Since the founding of the People's Republic, China has undergone remarkable transformations in every aspect of its society. From a war-torn and impoverished nation, China has emerged a global economic powerhouse, with advancements in technology, infrastructure, and education that stand out among the world's greatest achievements.We have made great strides in the field of science and technology, launching our first satellite, sending astronauts to space, and developing cutting-edge technologies like 5G and artificial intelligence. Our advancements in infrastructure have brought about a massive increase in connectivity, with high-speed railways, subways, and airports connecting every corner of the country.But it's not just technology and infrastructure that have experienced tremendous growth. We've also made significant strides in the social sector, with access to education and healthcare now more widespread than ever before. Our efforts in poverty alleviation have lifted millions out ofdestitution and brought them a better life.As we celebrate the National Day, we should not only appreciate our achievements but also recognize the challenges that lie ahead. Environmental degradation, income inequality, and geopolitical tensions are just some of the challenges we have to face in the coming years.To tackle these issues, we must continue to embrace innovation, creativity, and cooperation. We need to balance economic development with ecological protection and work together to build a more sustainable and equitable society.As citizens of this great nation, we each have a role to play in shaping its future. By working together with a sense of unity and responsibility, we can create a brighter tomorrow for ourselves and future generations.In conclusion, on this 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic, let us celebrate our accomplishments and acknowledge the challenges ahead. Let us work together to build a country that is not only prosperous but also sustainable, inclusive, and just. Together, we can achieve greatness beyond our imagination.Thank you.。

英国女王伊丽莎白二世在德国总统府欢迎国宴上英语演讲稿Mr President,Prince Philip and I would like to thank you and Frau Schadt for the warm welcome you havegiven us at the start of our fifth State Visit to Germany. In the 50 years since our first visit, ourcountries have lived through many profound changes. I am very glad to record that one of theirreversible changes for the better in my lifetime has been in the relationship between theUnited Kingdom and Germany.Mr President, it falls to a Head of State to lead a nation in the marking of anniversaries. Everymonth this year we commemorate either the centenary of a momentous event in the FirstWorld War; the 70th anniversary of a milestone at the end of the Second World War; or, herein Germany, 25 years of reunification following the fall of the wall which divided this city andthis nation for so long.But, tonight, I would also like to cast back rather further in time. Last week in a water-meadow by the River Thames, I attended an event to celebrate the 800th anniversary of theMagna Carta. Of course, in common with other events in ourremote history, the precise factsof 1215 are disputed. The consequences of the agreement between King John and his barons,however, are not disputed: for the first time we established in England that no man should beabove the law and that individuals as well as rulers have rights. Thus began the long, slow andinterrupted process of our country's evolution into a democracy.Tomorrow I shall visit St Paul's Church, where the first freely-elected legislature in Germanymet in 1848. The Frankfurt Parliament turned out to be a false dawn; it took another centuryand the loss of the most terrible wars in history to set Germany on the path of democracy.Earlier this year my cousins visited Germany to mark with you, Mr President, more recent andpainful anniversaries. The Duke of Kent visited Dresden and The Duke of Gloucester visitedBergen-Belsen. I myself shall visit Bergen-Belsen on Friday. These visits underline the completereconciliation between our countries.Germany has reconciled with all her neighbours. I pay tribute to the work of the Germanstatesmen since the Second World War who reinvented Germany and helped to rebuild Europe.I met Chancellor Adenauer at Windsor in 1958. He rejected the ideaof a neutral Germany,preferring to anchor Germany in the West. His successors took up the challenge of unitingGermany as a member of all the institutions of Europe and the West.Since 1945 the United Kingdom has determined to number among Germany's very strongestfriends in Europe. In the intervening decades, Britain and Germany have achieved so much byworking together. I have every confidence that we will continue to do so in the years ahead.Since Berlin and Germany were reunited there has been much to celebrate. Today I cruisedwith you, Mr President, along the Spree. I saw fewer cranes than when I was last here in 2019.But still the most magnificent element of Berlin's skyline is the Reichstag dome, an enduringreminder of our cultural cooperation. Our work together includes every part of life, frompolitics to commerce, from industry to every aspect of the arts, in particular, music,museums and education.We also saw a wonderful example of partnership in education and science during our visit to theTechnical University this afternoon. The enthusiasm and interest our students and youngpeople have for each other's ideas and work is our greatest asset: the next generation is at easewith itself and with contemporaries across Europe in a way that was never the casebefore.The United Kingdom has always been closely involved in its continent. Even when our mainfocus was elsewhere in the world, our people played a key part in Europe. In the nineteenthcentury in the Russian Empire a Welsh engineer called John Hughes founded a mining townwhich is now Donetsk in Ukraine. And in the seventeenth century a Scottish publican calledRichard Cant moved his family to Pomerania; his son moved further East to Memel and hisgrandson then moved South to K?nigsberg, where Richard's great-grandson, Immanuel Kant,was born.In our lives, Mr President, we have seen the worst but also the best of our continent. We havewitnessed how quickly things can change for the better. But we know that we must work hardto maintain the benefits of the post-war world. We know that division in Europe is dangerousand that we must guard against it in the West as well as in the East of our continent. Thatremains a common endeavour.Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you to rise and drink a toast to the President and the people ofGermany.---来源网络整理，仅供参考。

国庆节阅兵英⽂介绍 According to the decision of the CPPCC in 1949 when the People‘s Republic of China was founded, military parade should be listed among the key programs of the Grand Celebrations of National Day thereafter. A total number of 11 parades were conducted during the coming ten years since then, which however were followed by a break-up for a consecutive period of 24 years. The parade was not resumed until 1984. Based on Mr. Deng Xiaoping’s proposal, the central government decided to launch a grand parade to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the nation. The latest parade happened in 1999 when the nation celebrated its 50th anniversary. In the Tian‘anmen Square, a splendid cross-century parade was staged. Parade is an important form of displaying the strength of armed forces and building up national confidence and pride. In general, the parade includes two parts. One is the military review, in which the reviewer reviews by passing by the troops; the other is the march-past, in which the troops march in front of the reviewing stand to be reviewed. The Parade on the Founding Ceremony of the PRC(1949)： marching from east to west, the 16,400-people parading troops were headed by a 2-row navy troop with the infantry division, artillery division, chariot division and cavalry division followed. Seventeen airplanes of the air force, four out of which were carried with bombs, flied over Tian‘anmen to receive the review. The Second National Day Parade (1950)： Commander-in-chief Zhu De released the order that the PLA should be prepared for war in view of the tension in Korea and Taiwan. On the parade, the cavalry troops reined 1,900 white horses crossing Tian‘anmen Square, making up the most spectacular vision of the parade. The Third National Day Parade (1951)： the group taking the lead of the troops was made up of experienced and distinguished senior military officers who were receiving training in the war college. For the first time, a group of militias showed up on the parade. The Fourth National Day Parade (1952)： the public security troop made its first appearance this year. Militias of different nationalities wore their colorful folk costumes with up-to-date weapons held in hand. In the spotlight was a group of motor infantry formed by a total number of 160 motorcycles. The Fifth National Day Parade (1953)： the delegation of Chinese People‘s Volunteers made its appearance in the Tian’anmen reviewing stand. For the first time the rocket artillery group was among the parading troops. The Sixth National Day Parade (1954)： paratroops were present though no parachuting was performed. This is the last time that the cavalry troop of the PLA was reviewed on the parading ceremony. The Seventh National Day Parade (1955)： this is the first parading ceremony since the system of military ranks was implemented among PLA. Dressed in new military uniforms with military ranks and collar badge on them, the officers and soldiers took on an entirely new look. The Eighth National Day Parade (1956)： this is the only parade that takes place amid heavy rain. Among the guests of the ceremony were representatives of Communist Parties and Workers‘ Parties from over 50 countries, who were invited to attend the 8th Party Congress. The Ninth National Day Parade (1957)： the Chinese-made jet bomber and fighter received the review for the first time. The Tenth National Day Parade (1958)： the most spectacular figures were the students from military academies and various military schools established by the PLA after the founding of PRC. These schools involved different military areas including infantry, artillery, armored force, engineers, air force and navy. The Eleventh National Day Parade (1959)： the number of people attending the ceremony reached as high as 700,000. All of the cutting-edge equipments, including automatic rifles, cannons, tanks and high-speed jet fighters were manufactured based on China‘s own efforts. The Twelfth National Day Parade (1984)： this is a grand parade with the largest scale, most updated equipments and highest mechanization level since 1949. All of the weapons and equipments were made in China. The missile troop of navy, the ground-to-air missile troop of air force and the strategic missile troop made up the most spectacular vision. The strategic missile troop presented itself for the first time on the parade. The Thirteenth National Day Parade (1999)： attending the parade are the land force, the navy, the air force, the armed police and the local police, which represent the overall power of the Chinese arms forces. With its magnificence and spectacularity, the parade is unprecedented in PRC‘s military history concerning the scale and scene, and should mark a place in the military history of the whole world. 译⽂： 根据政协的决定在1949时，中国⼈民共和国成⽴后，阅兵应该上市的国庆节盛⼤庆祝活动的关键程序间之后。

奥巴马纪念马丁路德金演讲原文及汉语翻译第一篇：奥巴马纪念马丁路德金演讲原文及汉语翻译Thank you very much.Thank you.Please be seated.An earthquake and a hurricane may have delayed this day, but this is a day that would not be denied.非常感谢大家。

谢谢大家。

请就座。

虽然这个日子可能因地震和飓风来袭而推迟，但这一天不可阻挡。

For this day, we celebrate Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.'s return to the National Mall.In this place, he will stand for all time, among monuments to those who fathered this nation and those who defended it;a black preacher with no official rank or title who somehow gave voice to our deepest dreams and our most lasting ideals, a man who stirred our conscience and thereby helped make our union more perfect.在这一天，我们欢庆马丁·路德·金博士重返国家大草坪。

在这个地方，他将永远矗立在纪念这个国家的缔造者和捍卫者的丰碑中间；一位没有正式官衔或名号、却能说出我们心底最深处的梦想和我们持久不变的理想的黑人牧师，一位唤醒了我们的良知、从而帮助我们的合众国变得更加完美的人。

And Dr.King would be the first to remind us that this memorial is not for him alone.The movement of which he was a part depended on an entire generation of leaders.Many are here today, and for their service and their sacrifice, we owe them our everlasting gratitude.This is a monument to your collective achievement.而金博士会首先提醒我们，这座纪念碑并不属于他一个人。

布什就九·一一事件四周年颁发勇气勋章的演讲President Remembers 9/11 Heroesat Medal of Valor Award Ceremony2005年9月9日,布什颁发勇气勋章并发表纪念9/11四周年的演讲。

THE PRESIDEN T: Thank you all very much. (Applause.) Thank you. Welcome to the White House. Laura and I are honored that you'r e here today. We recognize a group of Americans whose bravery and commitment to their fellow citizens showed us the true meaning of heroism.The 442 names you just heard belong to men and w omen of uncommon valor and decency and honor. On one of the worst days our country has ever w itnessed, we witnessed the cour age of some of the finest people our country has ever produced. And their sacrifice will always be remembered.I want to thank the Attorney General. I welcome members of the United States Congr ess and the United States Senate who have joined us -- Bill Frist, Senator Schumer, Congressman Fossella, Congressman Crowley. By the way, thank you for bringing your mother. Congressman Wolf, Congressman Smith, Congressman King, Congressman McCarthy, Congressman Israel. I w ant to thank Ray Kelly, the Police Commissioner of the great city of New York. (Applause.) I thank all the fir e chiefs, police chiefs, and Port Authority personnel. I particular ly want to thank the men and women who ar e on the front line of making us safe -- thank you all for coming today. (Applause.)The 9/11 Heroes Medal of Valor honors the public safety officers who gave their lives on September the 11th. On that day, firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians, Port Authority personnel and other public safety officersperfor med their jobs with extraordinary distinction in the face of unspeakable terror.We're grateful to the families and fr iends who have come here to honor their memory. We know that the sense of loss you feel does not disappear w ith time. Four years later, you still miss your loved ones. Amer ica admires your courage in the face of such terrible pain. And your loved ones will always have the thanks and admiration and respect of a grateful nation.When America has been challenged, there has always been citizens willing to step forward and risk their lives for the rest of us. Over the last 11 days in Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama, w e have again seen acts of great compassion and extraordinary bravery from Amer ica's first responders. Firefighters and police, and U.S. C oast Guar d men and women, and National Guardsmen and active duty forces, disaster and medical assistance teams, search and rescue units from all over the United States have descended on the Gulf Coast to help the victims of H urricane Katr ina. They have faced the storm's destruction w ith valor and deter mination, and their hard work has saved lives in the face of great adversity.We're still at the beginning of a huge effort. The tasks before us are enormous. Yet so is the heart of the United States. We're grateful to the emergency personnel -- (applause.) We ar e grateful to the emergency personnel who are w orking to assist victims and restore communities affected by this disaster. In these difficult days, we have again seen the great strength and character and resolve of Amer ica. And we w ill continue to work to help the people who are struggling.In every community w e depend on those who carry the badge, w ho keep the peace and protect our citizens. And in times of national cr isis, all Amer icans are grateful to those who answer the alarms and run toward danger and provide ur gent care. Those who place their own lives at r isk for others must be recognized and honored by their fellow citizens.And four years ago, America saw the unparalleled her oism of our nation's public safety officers. We lost brave rescue workers who gave their lives so that others could live. We lost many other citizens who assisted in the rescue efforts, and whose courage and sacrifice that day made them extraordinary.On September the 11th, 2001, America lost Fir efighter Donny Regan of Rescue Company 3 in Bronx. Dur ing his 17-year career with the New York City Fire D epartment he w as cited six times for bravery. And today, our nation honors Donny's final act of courage. H is son, Peter, lost a father on September the 11th; today, he carries on his fathe r's legacy. Peter followed his dad's footsteps to the fir e department. Today he is defending our freedom as a reservist with the 3rd Battalion 25th Marine Regiment in Iraq. (Applause.)On September the 11th, 2001, America lost Fir efighter Ronnie Gies of Squad 288 in Queens. Ronnie had been with the N ew York Fire Department since 1988. He rushed downtow n to the World Trade Center. A video of the day showed Ronnie on his way into the tow ers. His wife said, "You see him straight on, carrying equipment, w ith such a look of determination." H is own son, Tommy, graduated from the FDNY Academy last August, and is now a member of Ladder 147 in Brooklyn. And we're grateful for Tommy's courage and service. (Applause.)On September the 11th, 2001, America lost Senior Court Officer Thomas Jurgens, one of about 25 New York State Court officers who responded after the plane hit the first tower. Thomas' last radio transmission came from inside the burning towe r, after he'd been warned to get out because the danger was too great. He refused to leave his post. His last words before signing off were, "There are people here who need our help."On September the 11th, 2001, Amer ica lost New York City Police Officer Moira Smith. Moira is remembered by friends for her fear less spirit on and off the job. She ran w ith the bulls in Spain. And in 1991, she ran into a subway tunnel to rescue dozens of people tr apped in one of the worst subway accidents in New York history. On September the 11th, 2001, she ran toward danger once again, into the burning tow ers of the World Trade Center. A broker she helped to safety r emembers her steady blue eyes and her even voice. The next day's papers carried an image of Moira helping an injured man out of the tower, before she rushed back in to save others. And the tower collapsed around her. One of Moira's colleagues said, "She could have saved herself, but nothing would have stopped her saving one more person."These are some of the examples, only a few of the examples, of the extraordinary bravery that took place that day. All the brave men and w omen w e recognize today brought credit to the uniform, and honor to the United States of America. (Applause.)And one w ay our nation can honor their sacrifice is to win the war on terror. (Applause.) On Sep tember the 11th, 2001, we saw the future that terrorists intend for us. And I made a decision: America w ill not wait to be attacked again. We will take the fight to the enemy, and we'll defend our freedom. (Applause.)Since that day we've taken the fight to the enemy. We're hunting dow n the terrorists in mountains in Afghanistan, in tribal regions of Pakistan, in the deserts of Iraq, and on islands of Southeast Asia, and the Horn of Afr ica. We'r e fighting the terrorists and we're fighting their murderous i deology, by spreading the hope of freedom across the broader Middle East. Free nations are peaceful nations, and by advancing freedom's cause, we are laying the foundation of peace for our children and our grandchildren. (Applause.)We will succeed. And the legacy of peace and freedom we leave behind will be the greatest memorial to your fallen family members and fr iends. (Applause.)The heroes of September the 11th will not be her e to see that day. But their moms and dads and children and grandchildren can know a proud America will alw ays stand in the long shadow of their service and sacrifice, and a proud nation w ill always remember them.May God bless you all, and may God forever bless the memor ies of those who sacrificed on behalf of our citizens. (Ap plause.)。

Today, I stand before you with great pride and excitement to share my thoughts on the significance of National Day. As we celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, I feel honored to express my gratitude to our great nation and its leaders for the achievements and progress we have made.Firstly, National Day is a day to remember the struggles and sacrifices of our ancestors. It was on October 1, 1949, when Chairman Mao Zedong declared the founding of the People's Republic of China. This momentous occasion marked the end of a long and arduous journey of struggle against foreign aggression and domestic oppression. Our ancestors fought valiantly to achieve independence and build a new China. Today, we must pay tribute to their courage, determination, and perseverance.Secondly, National Day is a day to acknowledge the progress and prosperity of our nation. Over the past seven decades, China has undergone remarkable changes. From a poor and backward country, we have transformed into the world's second-largest economy. Our people have gained access to better education, healthcare, and living standards. We have built modern infrastructure, including high-speed trains, airports, and roads. These achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our people.Moreover, National Day is a day to celebrate the unity and diversity of our nation. China is a country with a rich cultural heritage and diverse ethnic groups. We have 56 ethnic minorities, each with its unique traditions, customs, and languages. This diversity is a source of strength for our nation. We must cherish and preserve our cultural heritage, and at the same time, promote unity and harmony among all ethnic groups.As young students, we have a responsibility to contribute to the development of our nation. We must study hard, acquire knowledge, and cultivate our skills to become future leaders. We must learn from the past and embrace the future with confidence and courage. Here are a few things we can do to honor National Day:1. Study diligently and strive for academic excellence. Knowledge is power, and only through education can we improve ourselves andcontribute to the progress of our nation.2. Be responsible citizens and follow the laws and regulations of our country. We must respect others, protect the environment, and contribute to the well-being of our society.3. Foster a spirit of patriotism and love for our country. We must be proud of our nation's achievements and strive to make it even better.4. Promote friendship and cooperation with other countries. We must learn from other nations and share our experiences to build a more peaceful and prosperous world.In conclusion, National Day is a day to celebrate our nation's past, present, and future. It is a day to pay tribute to our ancestors, acknowledge the progress we have made, and express our love andgratitude for our great nation. Let us work together to build a better China and contribute to the peace and prosperity of the world.Thank you for your attention. Long live the People's Republic of China! Long live our great nation!。

Good morning/afternoon/evening, esteemed teachers, and dear fellow students,Today, I stand before you with great pleasure and pride to share with you my thoughts on this magnificent occasion, the National Day of our great country, the People's Republic of China. As we celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the founding of our nation, I feel a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility towards our country, our people, and our future.First and foremost, let me express my heartfelt congrats to our beloved motherland for her remarkable achievements over the past seven decades. From a war-torn, poverty-stricken land, China has emerged as a global power, a symbol of resilience, and a beacon of hope for billions of people around the world.On October 1, 1949, when the first national flag was hoisted in Tiananmen Square, the Chinese people finally saw the dawn of a new era. This day marked the end of the long, dark period of oppression and exploitation. Since then, our country has undergone a tremendous transformation, not only in terms of economic development but also in political, cultural, and social aspects.Economically, China has become the second-largest economy in the world, with an annual GDP growth rate that has outperformed most developed countries. Our people have benefited from the country's rapid development, with an increasing number of people enjoying a better life, improved living standards, and access to quality education and healthcare.Politically, China has maintained its stability and unity, with the leadership of the Communist Party of China. This has allowed our country to focus on its development and progress, ensuring that the interests of the people are always at the forefront.Culturally, China has preserved its rich heritage and traditions, while embracing the advancements of modern society. We have seen the rise ofChinese culture on the global stage, with more people appreciating the beauty of our language, art, music, and cuisine.Socially, China has made remarkable progress in eradicating poverty, improving public welfare, and promoting social harmony. The One Belt One Road initiative, for instance, has brought prosperity to many countries along the Silk Road, fostering friendship and cooperation among nations.As a junior high school student, I feel particularly honored to be apart of this great nation. I am aware that I have a responsibility to contribute to the country's development and to make my own dreams come true.To achieve this, I believe we should focus on the following aspects:1. Education: As the foundation of our nation, education plays a crucial role in shaping our future. We should study hard, acquire knowledge, and develop critical thinking skills to become qualified citizens who can contribute to our country's progress.2. Health: Maintaining good health is essential for both personal and national development. We should cultivate healthy habits, such asregular exercise, balanced diet, and sufficient sleep, to build a strong foundation for our future endeavors.3. Social responsibility: As young people, we should be aware of our social responsibilities and contribute to the betterment of our society. This includes respecting others, helping those in need, andparticipating in community service activities.4. Innovation: China has always been a nation of innovators. We should embrace creativity, explore new ideas, and strive to become pioneers in various fields, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and technology.5. International exchange: As the world becomes more interconnected, it is crucial for us to understand different cultures and perspectives. We should participate in international exchange programs, learn from others, and promote friendship and cooperation among nations.On this National Day, let us take a moment to appreciate the efforts of our ancestors who laid the foundation for our great nation. Let us also reflect on the challenges we face and the opportunities we have to create a better future.In conclusion, the National Day is not only a time to celebrate our country's achievements but also a reminder of our responsibilities as citizens. As junior high school students, we should strive to become the best version of ourselves, contributing to the development andprosperity of our great motherland.Thank you for your attention, and let us all join hands to create a brighter future for China!Long live the People's Republic of China!Long live the youth of China!Thank you!。

We must strive for excellence in all that we do, and we must never forget the values of hard work, perseverance, and dedication that have brought us to where we are today.In the face of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, we must be prepared to embrace change and to adapt to new circumstances.

伦敦市长鲍里斯·约翰逊在2019英国保守党年会英语演讲稿Good morning everyone. Good God …good morning everybody, thank you very much.Please, please take your seats,we’ve got a lot to get through. Good morning everybody inManchester, it’s agreat joy to be back here. Not so long ago my friends I…we welcome all sortsofwonderful luminaries to City Hall but not so long ago I welcomed the formerFrench PrimeMinister, Monsieur Alain Juppe to my office in City Hall and hecruised in with his sizeableretinue of very distinguished fellows with theirlegion d’honneur floret and all the rest of it andwe shook hands and had atête a tête and he told me that he was now the Mayor of Bordeaux. Ithink hemay have been Mayor of Bordeaux when he was Prime Minister, it’s the kind ofthingthey do in France – a very good idea in my view. Joke, joke, joke! Andwhat he said …joke! Hesaid that he had the honour of representing, hehad239,517 people in Bordeaux and thereforehe had the honour of representing the9th biggest city in France. I got the ball back very firmlyover the net,folks, because I said there were 250,000 French men and women in Londonandtherefore I was the mayor of the 6th biggest French city on earth.I can’t remember exactly what hesaid then, I think he said something like ‘Tiens!’ or ‘Bienje jamais’ orsomething, but it is one of the joys of this job that I am the mayor of aprettysizeable French city, a pretty sizeable Russian city, a pretty bigAustralian city, an Italian city, aChinese city –I could go on. That is agreat thing about London, it’s a good thing for ourcountry because thatforeign money brings jobs and it fills our restaurants and it puts bums ontheseats of our theatres, helps finance our universities very considerably and itenables Londondevelopers, some of whom I see in this great audience, to embarkon project that otherwisewould be stalled. Am I right? Yes. And it brings abuzz of excitement to the city which also ofcourse attracts investors and yet wehave to recognise that the sheer global charisma ofLondon is putting pressureon Londoners, with average house prices in our city now six timesaverageearnings and for the bottom 25% of earners, the house prices in the bottomquarter arenine times their earnings.The pressure is really growingand it is intensifying thanks to an entirely home grownphenomenon to which Ialluded at the end of the Olympic and Paralympic Games which tookplace lastyear because you may dimly remember that I prophesied that the athletes thatTeamGP and Paralympics GB had so moved thepeople of this country to suchparoxysms ofexcitement, I thinkI said, on the sofas of Britain that they hadnot only inspireda generationbut probably helped to create one as well and likeall my predictions and promises as your Mayoror as the Mayor of many of youhere, I have delivered mes amis, in that GLA Economics now saythat live birthsin London this year will be 136,942 which is more than in any year since1966when England won the World Cup – and the Prime Minister was born I think.I look around this audience –that means the population is growing very fast and it is goingto hit ninemillion by 2020, possibly ten million by 2031 and I notice when I point thisout topeople that they start to look a bit worn. They’re the older generationand think, all these otherpeople’s children, what jobs are they going to do,where are they going to live and will they bestepping on my toes on the Tube?I want to reassure you first of all that London has been herebefore, we hadnine million in 1911, I think we had nine million in 1939 and the second thing–for once I actually brought it with me thank goodness – the second thing isthat we have a plan.Here it is, the 2020 Vision, and it will ensure that wecreate a city in which no child is left behindor shut out and everybody has achance to make of their lives what they can.Step number one – and I seriouslycommend this document, it is entirely free on the GLAwebsite, written entirelyby me as well – step number one is to build more homes as I say. Can Ijust askthis audience, how many of you today here in Manchester are lucky enough to beowneroccupiers? Can I ask for a show of hands, is anybody here an owneroccupier? Look, here we go.Who is an owner occupier? There is no disgrace inthat, we believe in the property owningdemocracy and all that kind of thingbut we have to face the reality that for many, manymillions of people, foryoung people in London, for many members of our families, it is nowabsolutelyimpossible to get anywhere near to affording a home and that’s why it isabsolutelyvital that we get on with our programmes of accelerating housebuilding. We have done about55,000 – Rick, how many have we done so far? 55,000so far, give or take it will be around100,000 over two terms.We’ve put £3.6 billion of publicland to the use of so many of the good developers I seearound here, since Maylast year when I was elected by the way, but we need to do more and weneed toaccelerate our programme of house building dramatically and I think that it istime thatwe considered allowing companies to make tax-free loans to theiremployees to help them withthe costof their rent deposit – how about that?Brainy policy, no, put in for the budgetconsiderations. Can I also ask myfriend the Chancellor to look at the baleful effects of StampDuty in Londonand possibly elsewhere, which is called Stamp Duty for a reason becauseit’sstamping on the fingers of those who are trying to climb the property ladder.Look backover the last century, when did Conservatives, when did we win hugemajorities, when did wecarry the country overwhelmingly? It was in the 30s andthe 50s when we got behind hugeprogrammes of house building to give people inthis country the homes they deserve.To make those homes possible ofcourse you have got to get on with putting in thetransport links, as I nevertire of telling you and we’ve not only cut delays by 40%, comrades,in Londonsince I was elected, we have expanded the capacity of the Jubilee Line by 25%,theVictoria Line is now running at incredible 34 trains an hour – how many isthat per minute? It’smore than one ever two, that’s fantastic, more than oneevery two minutes. There’s no flies onthese guys! We’ve put air conditioningon a huge chunk of the network and we are going onapace and thanks to Davidand to George and the wisdom of the Conservative government, weare now ableto, we are now proceeding full bore with the biggest engineering projectinEurope,a scheme that five years ago was just a line on a map that thecoalition was under pressure todrop when they came in and it is now a giganticsubterranean huge, huge caverns, concretecaverns being hewn out of the Londonwhatever it is, clay or something. I should know that. Aswe speak, as wespeak, beneath the streets of London are six colossal boring machinescalledAda and Phyllis and Mary and Elizabeth and Victoria I think, I have got theirnames wrong,I can’t remember their names but they all have female names forsome reason and Phyllis andAda are coming in from the west and Mary andElizabeth are going from the east, from theLimmo Peninsula and they arechomping remorselessly through the London clay and they aregoing to meet somewherearound Whitechapel for this ginormous convocation of worms – I don’tknow whatthey’ll do but it will absolutely terrific because the rail capacity of Londonwill beincreased by 10% and we will have done Cross Rail, I confidentlypredict, as we did theOlympics, on time and on budget. A fantastic example ofwhat this country can do and acalling card that British business is now usingaround the world.In my view and in the view ofthose who are now working on Cross Rail, what we should do isuse those worldclass skills thatwe’ve been accumulating in London, to get going beforewedisband them on the next set of projects. I mean obviously Cross Rail 2, HighSpeed Rail, newpower stations, solutions to our aviation capacity problem, sothat we have a logicalsequential infrastructure plan for our country and don’tdo what previous governments havedone and that is waste billions by stoppingand starting. I think we can do it, I am absolutelyconfident that we can doit. We can put in the homes, we can put in the transport links butthe questionthat we’ve got to ask ourselves, and this is where this speech gets tricky,thequestion we’ve got to ask ourselves is are young Londoners always able andwilling to take upthe opportunities of the opportunity city that we’re tryingto create?Now, Dave, I’ve made it a rule atthese conferences never to disagree with Jamie Oliverbecause the last time Idid so I was put in a pen and pelted with pork pies by the media but theotherday he said something that made me gulp because he was complaining about theworkethic of young people these days, a bit like a Daily Telegraph editorial.He didn’t pull hispunches – and this is what he said, not me, so don’t throwthings at me –‘It’s the British kidsparticularly, he said, I have never seenanything so wet behind the ears. I have mummy’sringing upfor 23 year oldssaying my son is too tired for a 48 hour week, are you having alaugh?’ thecelebrity chef told Good Housekeeping. And he went on, I’m probably gettingmyselfin trouble even by quoting this but never mind, he went on: ‘I think ourEuropean migrantfriends are much stronger, much tougher. If we didn’t haveany, all of our restaurants wouldclose tomorrow. There wouldn’t be any Britsto replace them.’Now I can see looks of apoplectic… well, no I can’t really. Where’s the apoplexy? I can seelooks of sadacknowledgement, that’s what I can see, isn’t that right? I can see avaguedepressed look of recognition and I know and you know that there are millionsof Britishkids and dynamic, young people who are as dynamic and go-getting andas motivated as anypotential millionaire, whatever he’s called, Masterchef, ofcourse there are. But my question toyou is, what if Jamie has a point? What ifhe has half a point or even a quarter of a point? Doyou think he does? Half apoint, quarter of a point? He’s on to something. He may have phrasedit in aprovocative way but he was saying something that I think resonates, right?Okay, I’mgetting through this with difficulty.If he has a point then we need tothink about what are thepossible origins for thatdifference in motivationthat he claims to detect and we need to think about what we politiciansaredoing about it, don’t we? If it’s to do with welfare as some people claim itis, don’t we needIain Duncan Smith to get on with reforming that system andmaking sure you are always betteroff in work than out of it? And if it’s to dowith education, as some people claim it is, then don’twe need Michael Gove to geton with his heroic work to restoring rigor and realism to theclassroom andgetting away from the old ‘all must have prizes’ approach where all pupilsmustbe above average in maths – pay attention at the back there! – which is notpossible. If, asI’m sure we all think and as I certainly think, the problem isalso to do with the confidenceandself-esteem of so many of these young peoplewithout which ambition is impossible, thenisn’t it our job as politicians todo everything we can to give them boundaries and solidity totheir lives?That’s why I have spent a lot ofmy time as Mayor on projects like the Mayor’s Fund forLondon and Team Londonand encouraging volunteers to read to kids across our city andmentoringprogrammes which we are expanding and the support of the uniformed groups,theScouts, the Guides, all those kindsof fantastic organisations, bringingsporting facilities toschools that don’t have any, mobile pools we’ve beensending around London, beautiful glorifiedsheep dips we send round, they loveit. They work brilliantly well and we’re helping to gettalented youngmusicians to cross that barrier that they confront when they reach the ageofeleven and have to go through into secondary school and so many of them give uptheirinstruments and it’s a real, real tragedy and we are setting up funds tohelp with creation ofexcellence in our schools and to improve standards allround, to support the work that MichaelGove is doing.It’s when I look at the hugerange of projects that we’re engaged in now at City Halltogether withhundreds, if not thousands of other projects, many of which are supportedbypeople in this room, I do think we are making a difference to the lives ofthose young peopleand we have got loads of them into apprenticeships, about118,000 over the last couple of years,we’re going to get on to 250,000 by 2019and thanks to the police, thanks very largely to theirwork, we are seeingsignificant falls in crime as Jane was just saying. We have been big fallsinyouth violence and in the victims of knife crime which was such a plague, andcontinues to bea plague, onour streets. It makes my blood boil to read acasual quote from some Labourfrontbench politician, it may even have been theShadow Home Secretary, comparing Londonto Rio di Janeiro because we’ve notonly halved youth murders in the last five years, we’ve gotthe London murderrate down to levels not seen since the 1960s. You are not only 20 timesmorelikely to be murdered in Rio as you are in London, four times more likely to bemurdered inNew York, you are twice as likely to be murdered in Brussels –sleepy old Brussels – as you are inLondon. Presumably with lobster picks.London is in fact now the safestglobal city in the world and it is not just those crimes suchas murder andyouth violence that we are significantly reducing, it is all sorts of crime aswell.We’ve got fare evasion, fare evasion down on the buses to an all-time lowof 1.1%, whatever1.1% means, mainly thanks to getting rid of the bendy buses.That I think is the way forward.You’ve got to tackle that complex of problems,crime well frozen, educationalunderachievement and you’ve got to make surethat kids growing up in London are able to takeopportunity that our cityoffers and at the same time we must make sure they don’t dismisssome jobs asquote/unquote ‘menial’, which is a word I sometimes hear, and that theyseethem, thosejobs that London creates in such abundance, in the same way thatJamieOliver’s East Europeans see those jobs, as stepping stones, as abeginning to a life in work thatcan take them anywhere.Now I’m conscious today that I amspeaking very frankly about this issue, I have probablygot myself as usualinto trouble, that’s my job, because I think there is a vast and latentgeniusin these young people and if we could harness their talents more effectivelythen theywould not only have fulfilling lives but we could drive even fasterthe great flywheel of theLondon economy that is now the most diverse in Europeand we not only lead the world as thefinancial centre, artistic centre,cultural centre, we now have, we now have the biggest textsector anywhere inEurope, we have a growing NED city of academic health scienceinstitutionsalong the Euston Road and in ten years, in the next ten years it is forecastthatLondon’s media industry will produce more film and TV content than eitherNew York or LosAngeles. I can scarcely believe that but that’s what I amassured. That is an extraordinarychange that is taking place in the Londoneconomy and it is this prodigious, pulsating demandof London that helps todrive the rest of the country.The EU Commission has just done astudy about competitiveness of regions in Europe,have you all read it? Youshould read it, you’re in it folks. They have discovered, they havedetermined,the EU Commission – and I dare not dissent – has concluded that Surrey andWestand East Sussex –anybody here from Surrey and West and East Sussex? Well done,welldone Surrey and West and East Sussex, you belong to the fifth mostcompetitive region inEurope. They have looked at Berkshire, Buckinghamshireand Oxfordshire – anybody here fromBerkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire?Well done, Prime Minister, well done,congratulations, you belong to the thirdmost competitive region in Europe, well done. And whyare those regions sofizzing with competitiveness according to the EU Commission? BecauseLondon isthe most competitive city in the whole of Europe and it drives jobs across theUK andnot just in the south-east.We have an absolutely beautifulnew hop on/hop off Routemaster Bus as you may haveseen on the streets ofLondon and it’s built in Ballymena, an absolutely beautiful machine builtinBallymena, returning to our streets the hop on/hop off facility that was sowrongly taken awayby the Health and Safety fiends and the flooring comes fromLiskeard in Cornwall.Yesterday Iwas at a factory in Middleton, GreaterManchester, where they are making the destinationblinds with a beautiful 2019year old Chinese silk-screening technique, the destination blindsfor our newLondon bus. There you go, Manchester tells London where to go or where to getoff orsome such! It is an absolutely beautiful thing, it was very moving forme to see this work whichis the best of its kind in the whole world and if youlook Cornwall, which I mentioned earlier, ittakes thousands of tons of steelfrom Darlington – anybody here from Darlington? FromMiddleton? Come on folks,from Oldham? Well there we go. Cranes from Derbyshire…[cheer]There yougo!Newcastle? Bridges, bridges from Shropshire, anybody from Shropshire here?Welldone, we love your bridges. Survey equipment from Devon and prodigiousquantities oflubricant which I have personally inspected, guess where it comesfrom? Bournemouth.Bournemouth, isn’t that fantastic. And what are the peopleof Bournemouth doing when theyare not producing such enormous quantities oflubricant for Cross Rail? Shall I tell you whatthey are doing? I’ll tell you.Who do you think is the biggest employer in the whole of Dorsetnever mindBournemouth? Who is the biggest employer in the whole of Dorset, you knowthisone – excluding the NHS which is still pretty big –do you know who it is?Insurance is veryclose, it’s the right idea, it is J.P. Morgan mes amis. J.P.Morgan. If there wasn’t a strongbanking sector in London then there would beno strong banking sector in Edinburgh and therecertainly wouldn’t be one inDorset.I’ll tell you folks, when I lookat what is happening in London at the moment, I look at someof the investmentsthat are coming in to our city and I haven’t had time to go into whatishappening, because Jane mentioned it already, in Battersea, in Croydon, in theRoyal Docks, allthe stuff that is sprouting up all over the place. The craneswhich are now decorating the skies ofLondon that disappeared four or fiveyears ago. When I see what’s happening I must say that Ishare the optimism andthe excitement of George Osborne completely, I thought he gave abrilliantspeech yesterday but I also, I also share his realism, his realism and hisdetermination toremove the remaining barriers to competitiveness in ourcountry and what is the greatestbarrier to competitiveness folks, for Londonand indeed for Britain? What is it? Not visas,much worse than visas. What isthe greatest threat we face, come on folks, pay attention. ALabour government,correct.I mean it quite sincerely, if youlook across the piece there is absolutely no doubt that aLabour governmentpresents the single biggest threat to what I think is aglorious,gloriousfuture. Do we want to go back to all that again? Do we want to put them back onthebridge when they ran the ship aground? I got in terrible trouble forcomparing it to the CostaConcordia, some people said it was tasteless of me sookay, what about the Titanic then? Is thatbetter? Is that more acceptable?We don’t want to go back to thehigh tax, high spend approach of Ed Miliband whoemanated from the bowels ofthe trade union movement like his party, we want to go forwardwith a low taxenterprise equality. We don’t want a mansion tax do we? No, we don’t becauseitwould inhibit the very homes programme that we need to get going and we want tobuild, as Isay, hundreds of thousands of more homes. We don’t want to go backnever mind to the age ofold Labour, we don’t want to go back to the age ofDiocletian, Emperor Diocletian that is, withsome crazed attempt atgovernmental price fixing, which is what Ed Miliband came up with lastweek, wewant to go forward with a serious programme of new power station building and,for mymoney, with fracking, why not, absolutely, let’s get going.We must not go back to the oldfailed Labour idea of a third runway at Heathrow. You knew Iwas going to saythis but I’m going to say it, a third runway at Heathrow aggravatingnoisepollution in what is already the city in the world worst affected by noisepollution by miles.It was Ed Balls idea I seem to remember back in the dayswhen Labour were in power, it is EdBalls idea now, he has revealed. It wasBalls then, it’s Balls now and it is not good enough forthis country, it isn’tthe right answer for the most beautiful and liveable city on earth.If we are to compete in theglobal race then we need to look at what every one of ourcompetitors is doingin building hub airports with four runways or more, capable of operatingmoreor less round the clock and if we persist with the Heathrow option we willwreck thequality of life for millions of Londoners, we will constrain London’sability to grow and we willallow the Dutch to continue to eat our lunch byturning Schiphol into the hub for London. Thankyou.Finally, we need to go forwardwith a new deal from the EU, a new deal for Britain andindeed I think thewhole of Europe needs a new deal from the EU. Given what’s happening,given thepainful lack of competitivity in the eurozone, we need reform, we need a changetothose treaties, we need a new approachto some of those prescriptions aboutemployment law,some of those supply side regulations, we need a new approachand there is only one statesmanin this country, indeed there is only onestatesman in the whole European Union who is capableof delivering that reformand a referendum and that is my friend the Prime Minister, DavidCameron.It’s true, absolutely true. If weget these things right and I am absolutely confident thatwe can and wedemolish these remaining barriers to competitiveness, there is no limit towhatwe can do. I saw the other day some geezer from the Kremlin said somethingabout thiscountry that was even less polite than what Jamie Oliver had to say.He said that Britain was asmall island that no one paid any attention toexcept oligarchs who bought Chelsea. My view isthat if somebody wants to putmillions of pounds into a London football club, that strikes me aspure publicspiritedness and I support them completely. I don’t want to risk polonium inmysushi by bandying statistics with the Kremlin about per capital GDP or lifeexpectancy exceptto say that the UK of course vastly exceeds Russia in both.The serious point is that thisalleged spokesman underestimates where our country, the UK,is going and whatit can do. If you look at the demographics and the knowledge baseandindeedthe manufacturing industries, if you look at what is happening with Tata, inwhich thiscountry excels, then there is every chance in our lifetimes and Imean to live a very, very longtime, that the UK – mark what I say – the UKcould be the biggest country in the EU both inpopulation and in output. Thathad you, it’s true. Scary thought. The reason so many Russianscome here isthat they recognise that London is not simply the capital of Britain but alsoof theEU and in many ways, of the world. A city with more American banks in itthan there are in NewYork for heaven’s sake. A 24 hour city in which there are100,000 people working in supplying usall with coffee in the coffee bars ofLondon, how about that? We have more baristas thanbarristers, there are quitea few barristers as well, and yet with so much green space in Londonthat weproduce two million cucumbers a year from London. Eat your heart out, VladimirPutin. Itis partly thanks to our cucumber yields, our staggering cucumberyields, comrades, that Londonnow contributes almost 25% of UK GDP, which ismore than the city has contributed at any timesince the Romans founded it.In the next couple of yearsobviously we need to take all sorts of crucial decisions about howto ensurethe harmonious development of that city and I want those decisions to betakenbyConservatives. The choice at the next election is very simple – it’s betweenthe fool’s gold ofLabour gimmicks which we all understand, we’ve all fought beforeand a government that iswilling to take tough and sensible decisions, to cutunnecessary spending but to make the keyinvestments in transport andinfrastructure and housing and in our communities that will takethis countryforward. I know what I want as Mayor of the greatest city on earth, I think Iknowwhat you want, am I right? I know that we can do it so let’s go for itover the next two years.Cut that yellow Liberal Democrat albatross from aroundour necks and let it plop into the sea, letit plop into the sea by workingflat out for David Cameron as Prime Minister and an outrightConservativevictory in 2019. Thank you very much, thank you everybody.---来源网络整理，仅供参考。
