Speech of President Jiang Shusheng

俞敏洪励志演讲稿（Yu Minhong inspirational speech）Yu Minhong inspirational speechFellow students and leaders:Good morning, everyone! (applause)I am very glad that President Xu has given me such a high honor to talk about my experience at Beijing university. (applause)It can be said that Beijing University is a place that changed my whole life. It was a place for me to improve myself and make me go from a rural child to the world at last. It is no exaggeration to say that without Peking University, there would be no me today. Peking University left me a series of good memories, probably leaving a series of pain. It is between the good and the bad, in the middle of setbacks, struggles and progress, that you finally find yourself and begin to do something for yourself, for your family, for your society.Student life is very wonderful, there are many good memories.I remember there was a boy in our class who dropped the violin every day in the dormitory of the girls. (laughter) he wanted to attract the attention of the girls, and then the girls threw the water bottles. I still remember myself in order to attract the attention of girls, every winter vacation and summer vacation to help girls carry bags. (laughter, applause) and later I found out that the girl had a boyfriend. (laughter) I asked her why she wanted me to carry the bag, she said, in order to let her boyfriend take a break (laughter, applause). I remember when he first entered university I do not speakMandarin, when the class first class meeting each other, I stood up and introduced himself, the results of our monitor stood up and said to me: "Yu Minhong, you can not speak Japanese?" (laughter) I spent a whole year holding the radio and imitating the broadcast of the broadcasting station in the woods of Peking University. But I still can't speak Putonghua well today.Man's progress may be a lifelong thing. At Peking University is the beginning, not the end, of our lives. There are a lot of things that are very moving. For example, we were very fortunate to have met Professor Zhu Guangqian. In his last days, the students of our class took turns in wheelchairs and walked with him in Peking University every day. (applause) every time I wheeled a wheelchair, I was filled with admiration for Professor Zhu Guangqian, a sense of holiness. So, the most important area I read in college is aesthetics. Because he wrote a history of western aesthetics, the second book I read after I entered college.Why second? Because this is the first, I entered the dormitory after the Beijing University, I have a student in the dormitory. The students lying on the bed to read a book called "the fall of the Third Reich". So I asked him a word, and I said, "do you still want to read this kind of book at university?"" He took the book out of his eyes, looked at me, ignored me, and went on with his book. This eye remained in my heart. I know that entering Beijing University is not only to study majors, but also to read a great deal of books. You will be able to qualify yourself as a student at Peking university. (applause) so I read the first book in the north "is the rise and fall of the Third Reich", and read three times. Later I went to this school, Isaid: "let's talk" rise and fall of the Third Reich ", he said:"I have forgotten." (laughter)I also remember my tutor, Professor Li Funing, who was the head of the English Department of Peking University. When he gave us the fourth edition of new concept English, he wrote the blackboard on a blackboard every time. It was very complete and very beautiful. Always write from the top left corner of the blackboard. When the bell rings, it just writes to the bottom right corner. (applause) I remember my professor of English literature, Professor Luo Jingguo, who failed my exams in the last year at Peking University because of a bad mood. I found Professor Luo and said, "if I fail this course, I can't finish it."." Professor Luo said, "I can give you a passing grade, but please remember, you must make a worthwhile contribution in the future."." (applause.) therefore, the tolerance, knowledge, boldness and freedom of Peking University teacher can really make us a student of Beijing university,Really get the spirit of Peking university. When I heard that President Xu Zhihong sang "invisible wings" to students, I opened the video and was moved to tears. Because I think the president of Beijing University should be like this. (applause)I remember I had a lot of depression when I was in Beijing university. First, Mandarin is not good, second English level is a mess. Although my college entrance examination after three years of efforts to test to the North -- because I failed two times, the last time was accidentally entered the north. I never thought that Beijing University was the place where I could go to school. She was a sacred place in my heart. I felt I couldnever reach it. But that year, third years of examination, my college entrance examination scores than the Peking University admission score of seven points, I finally determined to gnash the teeth "Peking University" four words. I know a lot of people will score higher than me. I don't think I will be accepted. Unexpectedly, Beijing University Admissions teacher is very rich eyes, I expected thirty years later today. (applause) but in fact, my English is poor. I can neither hear nor speak in the countryside. I can only recite grammar and words. When our class was divided into classes, fifty students were divided into three classes. Because my English test scores were good, I was assigned to the A class. But a month later, I was transferred to class C. Class C is called "pronunciation, intonation and hearing barrier"". (laughter)I also remember that before I entered Beijing University, I didn't even read "the dream of Red Mansions", so I saw one of my classmates reading a book, and I was chasing like mad. The results of my university almost read more than 800 books, for a period of five years (applause). But I still haven't caught up with my classmates. I remember my monitor Wang Qiang is a Book addiction, and now he is in New Oriental, is the dean of the New Oriental Institute of education. Every time he boughta book, I followed him, when Peking University gave us more than20 yuan per month for living expenses, Wang Qiang has a hobby, that is, the cost of living in two, half used to buy books, half used to buy food tickets. Never spend money on books to buy tickets. If he doesn't have a meal ticket, he can borrow it everywhere and steal it everywhere he can't borrow it. (laughter) I found him a good habit, I also put my living expenses for a two, half to buy books, half to buy a meal ticket,ticket after I stole his. (laughter, applause)It is no exaggeration to say that our classmates were in Beijing University, which is one of the most reading classes. And our class was very active, and there were several poets. Later the famous a poet named Xichuan, real name Liu Jun, is in our class. (applause) I remember our class on the other, it was a good group of Beijing University, but one night you have fun, the dance veneer dance for second weeks, was criticized by the Ministry of education informed. The dance must jump very formal, and slightly closer to that violate discipline. So you're happier now than we were. Not only can dance, but also hand in hand in the campus walk, if we were male and female novices in hand in the campus walk, will be thrown to the side of the lake, it is generally after twelve in the evening on the campus walk. (laughter, applause)I also remember fifty students in our class, just twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls. When I heard this ratio, I was very excited at the time. (laughter) I think everyone should be a match. Didn't think girls are those who looked handsome, casual and elegant bearing boys. Girls like me don't have a lot of looks and are full of feelings and have great potential for development in the future. Girls generally don't see it. (laughter, applause)I remember I was fighting for two years to catch up with my classmates in the result, but just like LV Zhi teacher said, although you in the school entrance exam may very well, is the first, but the elite talent too much, around you may be very intelligent students,Is also the number one in each province, or second. So, in the north after the students is a very difficult process, although I almost every day to learn more than the other students in one or two hours, but when it came to the end of the second grade college my grades still ranked in the class last. Very diligent and very depressed, and no girl to love me, comfort me. (laughter) the result was that I had a serious illness when I was in my third year of college. It was called infection, sexually transmitted pneumonia, tuberculosis. Then I fainted, because I was reading a dream of Red Mansions "at that time, just read the Lin Daiyu because of pulmonary tuberculosis hematemesis died in the chapter, (laughter) I thought my life ended, then the Peking University Hospital doctors tell me now this disease can be cured, but need to stay in hospital for a year. I was in the hospital for a year, depressed for a year, read a lot of books, also wrote more than 600 poems, but never published a poem. Since then, I have made a living with poetry, but I am rich in emotion, but I do not have a beautiful style of writing, so I have not become a poet at last. Later, I felt very lucky, because I found that the poet who really became a poet later had an accident. We wrote poems together with Hai Hai, a less famous poet. Later, he wrote a beautiful poem called "facing the sea, with spring flowers", and each of us could probably recite it. Later, when I heard that he threw Dutch act, crying all day. From then on, I put down my pen and stopped writing poetry. (applause)I remember when I was in Beijing University, when I graduated from the fourth year of college, my grades were still at the end of the class. But at that time I had a good mentality. Iknow I'm smarter than my classmates, but I have the ability to keep on trying. So, in my class graduation ceremony, I said such a paragraph, and now, my classmates can remember, I said: "everyone has achieved excellent results, I am our class behind classmates.". But I want to reassure my students that I will never give up. I'll do five years for you, ten years for you, twenty years for me, twenty years for you, ten years for me, forty years for me". (applause) I said to them, "if it doesn't work, I'll be happy and fit, and I'll walk you off when I'm eighty."." (laughter, applause)One story says that only two animals can be reached at the top of Pyramid. One is an eagle, flying on his own talent and wings. We have a lot of Eagle characters here, and many students learn to reach the peak without having to work too hard. Many students may later easily graduate from Beijing University, after entering Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge and other famous universities to further their studies. There are many students who are full of talent, do not need to learn to have such ability, for example I mentioned my monitor Wang Qiang, his ability to imitate is superior, to any place, listening to a word, never listen to it again out of the two kind of imitation. So he worked as a broadcaster at Peking radio station for four years. I listen to his voice every day, my mind is full of hatred. (laughter) so a gifted man is like an eagle. But as we all know, there is another kind of animal, which is at the top of Pyramid. That's the snail. The snail must have climbed. It may take one month, two months, or even a year or two to climb from low to top. At the top of Pyramid, people do find traces of snails.I believe that the snail will never climb up smoothly. It will fall, climb, fall and climb again. But what the students needto know is that the snail, as long as he climbs to the top of Pyramid, sees the world in his eyes, and his achievements are the same as those of the eagle. (applause) so maybe we have some Eagles here, some snails. When I was in Beijing University, including today, I always thought I was a snail.But I've been climbing, maybe I haven't climbed to the top of Pyramid yet. But as long as you are climbing, it is enough to leave a day for you to move your life. (applause)I often say to my classmates, if our life doesn't leave some tears for ourselves, your life will be white. Many of our classmates have entered the Peking University with excellent results, but Peking University is not the end of your study, but the starting point of your life. Between the age of one and eighteen, you listen to your teacher and listen to your parents, and now you really start your own independent life. We must create some moving days for ourselves, so that you can move others. Here we have a rich family, also have impoverished family, our life is not for you to choose the starting point was born in a rich family or poor families, if you were born in poor families, you can't say dad give me back, I don't want to stay here. But the end of our lives is our choice. All of us present here have gone very well. They have come to the front of many Chinese children at the age of eighteen, because Beijing University is the pride of China, and also the pride of the world. However, to the North doesn't mean you ever be accomplished, does not mean that you can take the road to the future, the next fifty years, sixty years or even one hundred years, how do you go, as every student to think about. As far as I am concerned, I feel that as long as there are two things in mind, we canachieve our own life.The first is called ideal. I grew up with a feeling of wishing to cross the horizon and into the distance. I called it "the desire to cross the horizon."". It is because of this strong desire that I have the courage to continue the college entrance examination. Of course, there are examples in my life. For example, I have a neighbor, very famous, is my life model, his name is Xu Xiake. Of course, it was a neighbor five hundred years ago. But he's really my neighbor, Jiangsu, Jiangyin, and I'm from Jiangsu, Jiangyin. Because worship Xu Xiake, directly lead me in the college entrance examination when the geographical examination scores ninety-seven points. (applause.) it was Xu Xiake who brought me the feeling of crossing the horizon, so I made up my mind that if Xu Xiake had traveled all over China, I would have traveled all over the world. And I am now realizing my dream. So, as long as you have ideals and ambitions in your mind, you will succeed eventually. All you have to do is to have the ability to work hard, endure setbacks and fail in this process, and constantly expand your mind so that you can do things better.Second things call conscience. What is conscience? To do good, to be worthy of yourself, to be worthy of others, to share with others, to have the spirit of service to others. A conscientious person will manifest what you have done in the middle of your life, and what you do will certainly have an impact on your life in the future. I'll finish my speech with two little stories, which have taken up a long time.The first little story. An entrepreneur told me about a storyhe had in college. His class had a classmate whose family was rich and brought six apples to school every week. The students in the dorm thought it was a one man, and as a result, he ate one every day. Although apple is his, do not give you can not grab, but from the students left an impression that this child is too selfish. Later, the entrepreneur did something successful, and the student who ate apple didn't succeed and wanted to join the team of entrepreneurs. But later, when we talked about it, we said we couldn't let him join us. The reason was simple, because he never showed the spirit of sharing when he was in college. So, for students, the first thing in college is that you have to share what you have, feelings, ideas, and wealth with your classmates,Even an apple can be split into six pieces for everyone to eat together. (applause) because you know, in doing so, you can get more in the future, and your efforts will never be paid in vain.I'll tell you my story again. When I was a student at Beijing University, I always had the spirit to serve my classmates. My this person's result has been not very good, but I loved the work since childhood, I hoped that causes the teacher and the schoolmate's attention through the industrious work, therefore I clean the classroom hygiene from the primary school first grade. When I got to Beijing University, I got into a good habit of cleaning the dormitory every day. I cleaned it for four years. So our dormitory never rows sanitary duty watch. In addition, I take water from my dorm every day to fetch water for my classmates and take it as a form of physical exercise. Everyone saw I was getting used to water, and at last it happened. Sometimes, when I forgot to fetch water, my classmate said, "whydoesn't Yu Minhong fetch the water?"". (laughter). But I don't think it's a bad thing to draw water. Since everyone is a classmate, it is taken for granted that they help each other. The students must have thought I had done it. Ten years later, when the end of the 95 year of the New Oriental achieve a certain scale, I hope to find partners, the results went to the United States and Canada to find my classmates, they are an example of my life when I was in college, including just talked about the teacher Wang Qiang. I tried to lure them back and brought in a bunch of dollars, spending money very generously in the States every day, trying to make sure they knew how to make money in china. I think it'll probably get them back. Later, they came back, but gave me a very unexpected reason. They said, "Yu Minhong, we're going back to you and we've been playing for four years."." (applause) they said: "we know you have such a spirit, so you have to eat, certainly not give us porridge to drink, so let's go back to China, do the New Oriental together."." Only the New Oriental today. (applause)Man's life is a struggle for life, but some people live a great life, and some people live a very trivial life. If we have a great dream and have a kind heart, we can pile up a lot of little things and become a great life. But if your ordinary every day, there is no ideal, then stop the progress, then the next day your life will never be piled up a bunch of little. So, I hope all the students can make their everyday life into a great life. (applause)Finally, I represent all the old alumni to present more than three thousand students form a mind, I represent all the old and New Oriental two million yuan donated to the alumnipresident Xu, provide a little help for the students here, learning activities and growth. (applause)。

口译-布什总统清华大学演讲全文（中英对照）President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua UniversityTsinghua UniversityBeijing, People's Republic of China10:35 A.M. (Local)PRESIDENT BUSH: Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife, Laura, here. (Applause.) I see she's keeping pretty good company, with the Secretary of State, Colin Powell. It's good to see you, Mr. Secretary. (Applause.) And I see my National Security Advisor, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, who at one time was the provost at Stanford University. So she's comfortable on university campuses such as this. Thank you for being here, Condi. (Applause.)I'm so grateful for the hospitality, and honored for the reception at one of China's, and the world's, great universities.This university was founded, interestingly enough, with the support of my country, to further ties received his degree here, but more importantly, he m between our two nations.I know how important this place is to your Vice President. He not only et his gracious wife here. (Laughter.)I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance to talka little bit about my country and answer some of your questions. The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So, congratulations. (Applause.) I don't know if you know this or not, but my wife and I have two daughters who are in college, just like you. One goes to the University of Texas. Onegoes to Yale. They're twins. And we are proud of our daughters, just like I'm sure your parents are proud of you.My visit to China comes on an important anniversary, as the Vice President mentioned. Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, in the spirit of mutual respect. As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said this to President Nixon: "Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world -- 25 years of no communication."During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other. And that's important. Once America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization. Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor.And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world -- as demonstrated by the knowledge and potential right here in this room. China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong and peaceful and prosperous China. (Applause.) As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country. This happens for many reasons, and some of them of our own making. Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know. Our successful businesses show a strength of American commerce, but our spirit,community spirit, and contributions to each other are not always visible as monetary success.Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others. My friend, the Ambassador to China, tells me some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans of "bullying the weak and repressing the poor." Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to "repress the working people." Now, neither of these is true -- and while the words may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and they're harmful.In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the weak and the poor. Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves -- and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need. American compassion also stretches way beyond our borders. We're the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world. And as for the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement, they're working people; they, themselves, are working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption.My country certainly has its share of problems, no question about that. And we have our faults. Like most nations we're on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice. Yet there's a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America. It's because we're a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. No matter your background or your circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, you can start your ownbusiness, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and help elect the leaders of your community and your country. You can support the policies of our government, or you're free to openly disagree with them. Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself.Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities. Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions, and overseen by astrong and fair legal system.My country's greatest symbol to the world is the Statue of Liberty, and it was designed by special care. I don't know if you've ever seen the Statue of Liberty, but if you look closely, she's holding not one object, but two. In one hand is the familiar torch we call the "light of liberty." And in the other hand is a book of law.We're a nation of laws. Our courts are honest and they are independent. The President -- me -- I can't tell the courts how to rule, and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch of government. Under our law, everyone stands equal. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it.All political power in America is limited and it is temporary, and only given by the free vote of the people. We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the power of the three branches of our government, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch, of which I'm a part.Many of the values that guide our life in America are firstshaped in our families, just as they are in your country. American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation. In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving other people. An amazing number -- nearly half of all adults in America -- volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children, or by visiting the sick, or caring for the elderly, or helping with thousands of other needs and causes.This is one of the great strengths of my country. People take responsibility for helping others, without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith. America is a nation guided by faith. Someone once called us "a nation with the soul of a church." This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I'm one of them.When I met President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I had the honor of sharing with him how faith changed my life and how faith contributes to the life of my country. Faith points to a moral law beyond man's law, and calls us to duties higher than material gain. Freedom of religion is not something to be feared, it's to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and to serve others, and to live responsible lives.If you travel across America -- and I hope you do some day if you haven't been there -- you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths. We're a varied nation. We're home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, orin the Cabinet of the President of the United States, or skating for the America Olympic team. Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as just as American as the President.America shows that a society can be vast and it can be varied, yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.And all these qualities of America were widely on display on a single day, September the 11th, the day when terrorists, murderers, attacked my nation. American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in desperation to save their fellow citizens. V olunteers came from everywhere to help with rescue efforts. Americans donated blood and gave money to help the families of victims. America had prayer services all over our country, and people raised flags to show their pride and unity. And you need to know, none of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of free people.Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law is not to be feared. In a free society, diversity is not disorder. Debate is not strife. And dissent is not revolution. A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatness in themselves and their country.It was my honor to visit China in 1975 -- some of you weren't even born then. It shows how old I am. (Laughter.) And a lot has changed in your country since then. China has made amazing progress -- in openness and enterprise and economic freedom. And this progress previews China'a great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to China's legal system. A modern China will have a consistent ruleof law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people. The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges our society -- challenges society in our country, and in many successful countries. Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.Behind China's economic success today are talented, brilliant and energetic people. In the near future, those same men and women will play a full and active role in your government. This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens. And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country. They are participants in its future.Change is coming. China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level. Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- I want you to hear his words. He said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level. I look forward to that day.Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. Regardless of where or how these believers worship, they're no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens. For centuries, this country has had a tradition of religious tolerance. My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China -- a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create. This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when eventhe grandest hopes seem within your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship. Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games. And I'm confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.Thank you for letting me come. (Applause.)布什：胡副主席，非常感谢您的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿（英文版）President Hoover, Mr. Chief Justice, my friends:This is a day of national consecration. And I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency, I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels.This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our countrytoday. This great Nation will endure, as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things. Values have shrunk to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmersfind no markets for their produce; and the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment.And yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. We are stricken by no plague of locusts. Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered, because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. Plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply.Primarily, this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated. Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted inthe court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men.True, they have tried. But their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They only know the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.Yes, the money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of that restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in thethrill of creative effort. The joy, the moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.Recognition of that falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit; and there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing. Small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection, and on unselfish performance; without them it cannot live.Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This Nation is asking for action, and action now.Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment, accomplishing great -- greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our great natural resources.Hand in hand with that we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and, by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land.Yes, the task can be helped by definite effortsto raise the values of agricultural products, and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities.It can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure of our small homes and our farms. It can be helped by insistence that the Federal, the State, and the local governments act forthwith on the demand that theircost be drastically reduced. It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered, uneconomical, unequal. It can be helped by national planning for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of communications and otherutilities that have a definitely public character. There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped by merely talking about it.We must act. We must act quickly.And finally, in our progress towards a resumption of work, we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order. There must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments. There must be an end to speculation with otherpeople's money. And there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.These, my friends, are the lines of attack. I shall presently urge upon a new Congress in special session detailed measures for their fulfillment, and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the 48 States.Through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balance outgo. Our international trade relations, though vastly important, are in point of time, and necessity, secondary to the establishment of a sound national economy. I favor, as a practical policy, the putting of first things first. I shall spare no effort to restore world trade byinternational economic readjustment; but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishment.The basic thought that guides these specific means of national recovery is not nationally -- narrowly nationalistic. It is the insistence, as afirst consideration, upon the interdependence of thevarious elements in and parts of the United States of America -- a recognition of the old and permanently important manifestation of the American spirit of the pioneer. It is the way to recovery. It is the immediate way. It is the strongest assurance that recovery will endure.In the field of world policy, I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighbor: the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others; the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.If I read the temper of our people correctly, we now realize, as we have never realized before, our interdependence on each other; that we can not merely take, but we must give as well; that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a commondiscipline, because without such discipline no progress can be made, no leadership becomes effective.We are, I know, ready and willing to submit our lives and our property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at the larger good. This, I propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us, bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in times of armed strife.With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems.Action in this image, action to this end is feasible under the form of government which we have inherited from our ancestors. Our Constitution is so simple, so practical that it is possible always to meet extraordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without loss of essential form. That is why our constitutional system has proved itself themost superbly enduring political mechanism the modern world has ever seen.It has met every stress of vast expansion of territory, of foreign wars, of bitter internal strife, of world relations. And it is to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and legislative authority may be wholly equal, wholly adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us. But it may be that an unprecedented demand and need for undelayed action may call for temporary departure from that normal balance of public procedure.I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require. These measures, or such other measures as the Congress may build out of its experience and wisdom, I shall seek, within my constitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption.But, in the event that the Congress shall fail to take one of these two courses, in the event that the national emergency is still critical, I shall notevade the clear course of duty that will then confront me. I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis -- broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.For the trust reposed in me, I will return the courage and the devotion that befit the time. I can do no less.We face the arduous days that lie before us inthe warm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. We aim at the assurance of a rounded, a permanent national life.We do not distrust the -- the future of essential democracy. The people of the United States have not failed. In their need they have registered a mandate that they want direct, vigorous action. They have asked for discipline and direction under leadership.They have made me the present instrument of their wishes. In the spirit of the gift I take it.In this dedication -- In this dedication of a Nation, we humbly ask the blessing of God.May He protect each and every one of us.May He guide me in the days to come.美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿（中文版）胡佛总统，首席法官先生，朋友们：今天，对我们的国家来说，是一个神圣的日子。

奥巴马获胜演讲全文（中英文对照）The victory speech of Barack ObamaObama：奥巴马：Hello, Chicago.您好，芝加哥。

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑，还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活，还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，这些问题都有了答案。

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案，其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样，认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案－－无论老少贫富，无论是民主党还是共和党，无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民，是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人－－我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营。

FINAL SPEECH——Presidential SpeechHello,my fellow citizens:Today I stand here,feeling grateful for your trust and honourable for your support.At the beginning,I thank President Obama for his sacrifices to the great country that we all loved.And so far,forty-four presidents have been sworn in and they all committed themselves to make great contributions to perfect the state system and finally they certainly did.For the moment,I want to say to you that this is a defining moment in our history.I can't deny the improvements that made in the past several years.But we still must pay attention to that some social issues concerning with for example education and debt crisis are becoming more and more important and serious.I have to remind you of that the challenges we face are real,they are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short term. But we believe we can overcome all the difficulties. What is more worrying is that the influence of debt crisis has affected the whole world and the present state of economy calls for urgent action. Economic recession and fiscal deficit policy have kept the American public debt accumulating and the unemployment increasing.So it is time to acknowledge that the growth in government and higher taxes are not the answers to our problem. It is time to take resolute action and put up anew plan to deal with our current crisis.In the meantime,it is essential to reduce government spending and create a series of tax cuts to help so lve the debt crisis,improve the nation's economy and bring down the unemployment.While solving the economic problem,we also can learn from it and get aware of that we will share weal and woe.From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a close relation with each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers. Thus,corresponding actions must be taken,not only to create new jobs, but also to lay a new and solid foundation for sustainable growth of economy.What's more,I will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.In order to let every child enjoy a world-class education and have the ability to compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century,I'll invest in early education and recruit an army of new teachers,pay them higher salary, and give them more support.But I'll also demand higher standards and more responsibilities.And we'll make a promise with every young American that everyone who is devoted to learning and thinking can afford his tuition.That is also to encourage more talents to serve our community and our country.When it comes to the present international situation,although Osama Bin Laden was killed,we still have a long way to go.Guided by the principleof peace and development,we must face new threats,enhance cooperation and understanding between nations.We have realized the promise,left Iraq to its people and returned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and find effective way to stop global warming.Of course,n one of these will be easy and it won't happen overnight as well.But we have the right to dream and describe the future.I believe we can do this because I believe in America,I believe in you.Don't be afraid of changes.Don't be afraid of revolutions.Don't stand still and refuse to make progress.Give me your vote,and then you can see a brand-new America.Give me your vote,and then we will together make our efforts to perfect this country.Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.。
