President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua UniversityTsinghua UniversityBeijing, People's Republic of China10:35 A.M. (LocalPRESIDENT 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 thesupport of my country, to further ties between our two nations. I know how important this place is to your Vice President. He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here. (Laughter. I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance to talk a 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. One goes 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 inChina 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 thegrounds 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 thatthe 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 whocannot 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 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 own business, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and helpelect 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 a strong and fair legal system. My country's greatest symbol to the worldis 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 ourlaw, 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 first shaped 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 weekto 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 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 Americansof Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, or in 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 youto China's legal system. A modern China will have a consistent rule of 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 responsibilitywill 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. Myprayer 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 even the 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。

日期：2005-9-22 16:38:27Below is the full text of President George W. Bush's inaugural speech on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2001.President George W. Bush's Inaugural Address January 20, 2001President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story--a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American. Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine theiridealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the valuesss that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valuessd and expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. Themost important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the valuesss of our history to the care of our times.What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character. Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: ``We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?''Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved inour duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.乔治-W-布什就任第43任美国总统的演讲全文谢谢大家！克林顿总统，尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们：这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国是平常的。

Transcript of President Bush's Remarks at Tsinghua UniversityPresident Bush's Speech - New China News Agency Version (In eleven parts). (I.) Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind and generous welcome. Thank you very much for welcoming me and my wife Laura. 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 between our two nations. I know how important this place is to your Vice President. He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here. (Laughter.) I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance to talk a 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. One goes to Yale. They're twins. And we are proud of our President Bush's Speech – White House VersionI am very grateful for the warm welcome from all of you, very honored to come to China. Tsinghua University is one of the world's greatest universities. I also know that Tsinghua University is very important to Vice President Hu. He not only received his degree here, but also met his graceful wife here. I also want to thank all of the students seated here for giving me this opportunity to meet with you, talk a little about my own country, and answer some questions.(II.) Tsinghua University's standards and reputation are known throughout the world, I know that testing into this school is an achievement. Congratulations to all of you. I don't know if you know this or not, but my wife and I have two daughters, who, like you, are in college. One daughter goes to the University of Texas. One goes to Yale. They're twins. I am very proud of our two daughters I'm sure your parentsour two daughters, I'm sure your parents are just as proud of you. (III.) 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. And as they left the airport that day, Premier Chou En-Lai said this to President Nixon: "Our handshake crossed the widest ocean in the world: 25 years of no communication." From that time, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce. (IV.) As our two countries have had increasing contact with each other, the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other. And that's important. Once America knew only that China was a country with a rich history, a great country as well as its civilization. Today we see a China that still attaches great importance to the traditions of family, scholarship and honor. At the same time, 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. (V.) China is on a rising path. And America welcomes the emergence of a strong, peaceful and prosperous China. 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 are our own making. Our movies and television shows often do not show adaughters, 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.

If you travel to America, you will find people of many different ethnic backgrounds and many different faiths. We're a varied nation. We're a home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, and that number is growing. There are Chinese working in our large corporations, in our government bureaus. In the Olympic games, representing America in ice-skating is also a Chinese.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.

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 theircountry. (X.) It was my honor to visit China in 1975. Some of you sitting here weren't even born then. This shows how old I am. Since then, your country has changed a lot. China's made amazing progress in openness and enterprise and economic freedom, and, with this progress, people can all see China's great potential. China has joined the World Trade Organization. A modern China will have a superb rule of 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. 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's 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 rule of 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(XI.) Behind China's economic success today are talented, brilliant, and energetic people. Tsinghua university is not simply training specialists, it is preparing citizens. And citizens are not spectators in their affairs of their country, they're participants in its future.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 even the 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.)China has an ancient tradition of religious tolerance.China will attract the attention of and enrich the world.Six years from now athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic Games. I'm confident they will see a China that is becoming a strong country, a leading nation, a country at peace with the world. Thank you for letting me come.White House Version PRESIDENT BUSH: I'll be glad to answer a few questions. Q: Will the TMD system cover Taiwan? Q Mr. President, yesterday I watched the press conference made by you and President Jiang Zemin. At the conference, you didn't clearly answer a question, which is a concern by almost everybody. It's why the TMD system will cover Taiwan. And what's more, whenever you talk about the Taiwan issue, you always use a phrase just like, peaceful settlement. You never use the phrase, peaceful reunification. What's the difference and why? PRESIDENT BUSH: Very good question. First of all, I want to compliment you on your English. Very good. I -- the first thing that is important on the Taiwan issue is that my government hopes there is a peaceful, as I said, dialogue, that there is a settlement to this issue; but it must be done in a peaceful way. That's why I keep emphasizing peaceful. And by the way, "peaceful" is a word intended for both parties; that neither party should provoke, that -. I --- we've had many discussions with your leaders and I've reiterated support for the one-China policy. It's been my government's policy for a long period of time, and I haven't changed it. I also -- in your question about missile defenses -- have made it clear that our nation will develop defenses to help our friends, our allies and others around the world protect ourselves from rogue nations that have the – that are trying to develop weapons of mass destruction. To me, that is essential for peace in the world. We have yet to develop a system, and therefore, h ' l h I id d di'PRESIDENT BUSH: Very good question. First of all, I want to compliment you on your English. Very good.I've had many discussions with Chinese leaders and each time I've reiterated our support for the "one-China" policy. Moreover, this has been my government's policy for a long period of time, and it hasn't changed. As to missile defenses, I have made it clear that this is a defensive system to help our allies and some other countries protect themselves from the attacks of rogue nations. We are currently in the process of developing a system, and don't know yet if it is possible.that's exactly what I said yesterday, and it's the truth, where we're in the process of seeing if we can't develop a system. And I think it will bring more stability to the world than less. And let me just say one general comment that's very important for you to know, and it's also important for the people of my country to know, that my administration is committed to peacefully resolving issues around the world. We want the issues resolved in a peaceful manner. And we've got a lot of issues that we deal with. We're dealing in the Middle East. And if you follow the news, it's a very dangerous period of time there. We're working hard to bring peaceful resolution there. We're working hard to bring a peaceful resolution to Kashmir, which is important for China. And I recently went to Korea, and I made it very clear that we want to resolve the issues on the Korean peninsula in a peaceful way. Q I am a broadcasting student at Tsinghua University. Q It's a pity you still haven't given us -sorry -- given us a clear question (sic) about why do you always use the "peaceful settlement," but you have never said "peaceful reunification." It's a pity. Because this is a question our Chinese people are extremely concerned about. Three days ago in your speech to the Japanese parliament you said that the US will still remember its commitment to Taiwan. But my question is, does the U.S. still remember its commitment to one billion, three hundred million Chinese people, namely, abiding by the three joint communiques and the three "nos"? PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you very much. As I said, this seems to be a topic on people's mind, obviously. I can't say it any more clearly, that I am anxious that there be a peaceful resolution and -- that'sI'd like to ask the President: Does the U.S. still remember its commitment to one billion, three hundred million Chinese people, namely, abiding by the three joint communiques and the three "nos"? PRESIDENT BUSH: Taiwan is a problem that everyone is very concerned about. I think I've already said very clearly that I hope that there will be a peaceful resolution in my lifetime, or in your lifetime.It will be an important milestone.Q: I want to welcome you in your visit and thank you for coming to speak at our university. We can see that China and the United States have a wide future in technical and cultural exchanges. Now, in your wonderful speech just now, I noticed that you regard our university very highly. So my question is, if your two daughters have a chance to continue their studies, would you encourage them to come to Tsinghua University?PRESIDENT BUSH: They don't listen to me any more! I think you know what I mean.First of all, I hope they do come here because China is an amazing country. I visited China for the first time in 1975. It is hard for me to describe the tremendous transformation. My first time visiting China since I became President was my visit to Shanghai. I think my daughters, like many American students, would like to come and see China. So I think our student exchange program is very important. I think our nation must be welcoming to Chinese students who would like to go study in America. I think that would benefit Chinese students, but as going to require both parties to come to a solution. And that's what I mean by peaceful dialogue. And it is -- I hope it happens in my lifetime, and I hope it happens in yours. It will make -- it will be an important milestone.And secondly, when my country makes an agreement, we stick with it. And there is called the Taiwan Relations Act, and I honor that act, which says we will help Taiwan defend herself, if provoked. But we've also sent the same message that there should be no provocation by either party -- for a peaceful dialogue.Q: Mr. President, I am a student coming from the School of Economics and Management in Xinhua University. As we can see, China and the United States have a bright future in scientific and cultural exchanges. Now -- just now, you have made warm remarks about our universities. So my question is, if possible, do you -- will you be happy to encourage your daughters to study in our university? Thank you.PRESIDENT BUSH: I -- I'm afraid they don't listen to me any more! If you know what I mean.Let me -- first of all, I am -- I hope they do come here. It is an amazing country. You know, as I said, I was here in 1975. It is hard for me to describe the difference. It is an amazing transformation. I first saw that in Shanghai earlier this fall -- or last fall. And they would benefit from coming here, as would a lot of other United States students. I think our student exchange program is very important. I think our nation must be welcoming to Chinese students who would like to go study in America. I think that would benefit the students, but as importantly, would benefitimportantly, it would benefit American students.If we get to know one another, spend time talking to one another, than both sides can arrive at a deeper understanding. This is in our interest, because there are some issues in our relationship that we don't see 100 percent the same. But if we can have a better understanding of other people, better mutual understanding, it is possible that we can have a better discussion of these disagreements and problems.I know that China has a grand history of honoring family and the elderly.I wish my country also had such a tradition. When students get to know each other, they learn each other's values, and that is in the interest of world peace. American students. It's so important for people to realize in both our countries that we're dealing with human beings that have got desires and loves and frustrations. Even old citizens like me and the vice president can benefit by spending time getting to know each other. Obviously, there are some issues in our relationship that we don't see 100 percent -- don't have 100 percent agreement on. But it is so much better to discuss these issues after you get to know a person, as a person. We're human beings, first and foremost. There are just some important characteristics that are real.And you mentioned -- you know, I talked about my families in my speech. Family is just such an important, integral part of any society, and China has got a grand history of honoring family that is an important tradition, an important part of your culture. And you know, I hope my country, as well, has a -- is known for a strong tradition of family. That -- that's a concept that's not owned by a particular country; it is universal. And when students get to know each other, they learn the universality of many values, and that's going to be important for peace in the world.Q Mr. President, I'm a student from Center for International Communication Studies. Well, your younger brother, Neil Bush, visited our university just before last Christmas, and he mentioned that there are many Americans, especially politicians, have a lot of misunderstandings about China. So just like -- just as our vice president Hu Jintao and you mentioned, you all want to make efforts to promote the Sino-American relationship to go ahead smoothly. So my question is, being the president of the United States, will it take some action to promote the contacts and exchanges between the two countries,。

美国总统布什在北京清华大学与学生对话的中英全文清华学生用英文提问：昨天您和江主席进行了谈话，并且开了联合发布会，您在这个会上没有清楚地回答一个问题，那就是战区导弹防御系统是否会包含台湾在内？另外，我还想问，谈到台湾问题的时候，您说和平解决，您对和平统一是怎样的看法？布什：非常好的问题，首先，我很赞赏你的英文，非常好！讲到台湾问题，很重要的一点就是美国的政府在讲到如何和平解决台湾问题的时候，总是说到和平、对话，我们强调和平这个字，我们指的是双方都要以和平的方式来解决，任何一方都不可以进行任何挑衅的行为。

我跟中国的领导人有过多次的谈话，每一次我们都强调我是支持“一个中国”的政策，而且这是长期一贯的政策，到目前为止没有改变。

至于有关导弹防御系统，我已经说得非常清楚，这是一个防御性的系统，是要帮助我们的盟友和其他一些国家来保护他们免受无赖国家的攻击，这些国家是希望发展大规模杀伤性武器的，我想制定这一点，对和平是非常有重要的，我昨天也非常清楚地说明这是事实。

我们目前正在发展导弹防御系统的过程中，目前还不知道可行不可行，但是我觉得对全世界的和平会带来贡献。

还有一点，我觉得对中国人来说，对美国人来说这一点必须要知道，美国政府希望能够以和平的方式解决发生在全世界的许多问题，那因为美国现在处理的问题非常多，好象中东的问题，你们从新闻上看到以后知道了，这是一个非常危险的时代，我们正在努力地致力于和平，我们希望克什米尔的问题也能够和平解决，这对中国也非常重要的。

我来中国以前，我到了韩国，我也明确表示，我希望以和平的方式解决朝鲜半岛的问题。

清华大学传播系学生：很遗憾，您刚才还是没有明确的回答，您总是说和平解决，而没有说和平统一。

三天前您在日本访问时，在议会发表演讲说，美国将牢记对台湾的承诺，我想问总统先生这样一个问题，美国是否还牢记他对十三亿中国人民的承诺呢？那就是遵守《中美三个联合公报》和“三不”政策。

布什：感谢您，我想台湾问题是全世界都关心的问题。

Vice President Hu,thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife , laura, here.I see she is keeping pretty good company with the Secretary of State, Collin Powell.It is good to see you, Mr. Secretary.And I see my National Security Adviser, Rice, who once was the provost of Stanford University, so she is comfortable on the university campuses such as this.Thank you for being here ,Codin.I am so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of China’s and the world’s great universities.The standards and the reputation of thisuniversity are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So congratulations.My visit to China comes an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.Thirty years ago this week an American president arrived in China on an trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicious. President Richard Nixon showed that two vastly different government could meet on the grounds of common interests in the spirit of mutual respect.As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou En-Lai said this to President Nixon: “you handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world-25years 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.It was my honor to visit China in 1975.Some of you were not even born then. It shows how old I am.And a lot has changed in your country since then. China has made amazing progress in openness and enterprise and economic freedom.

名人演讲稿布什演讲稿（中英对照）Thank you!Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush， President Clinton, distinguished guests and myfellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet mon in our country. With a *** oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of Americas leaders have e before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant pe ([!--t资/料来.源,于:/网 ]布什演讲稿（中英对照）.ｆｗJIa.ｃoｍ】 rson was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, Americas faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. Theambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems weshare a continent, but not a country.We do not aept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders andcitizens in every generation. And this is my solemnpledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than our selves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds,lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new mitment to live out our nations promise through civility, courage, passion and character.America, at its best, matches a mitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not beled. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerabl ( [!范;文,之.家网布什演讲稿（中英对照）(2))hTTp://wWw.fWJiａ.cOm } e will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility isnot a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of munity over chaos. And this mitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared aomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending mon dangers defined our mon good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim Americas schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparingour children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake:America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power thatf avors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, wewill speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is passionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nations promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and mon schools. Yet passion is the work of a nation, not (此资料转贴于范-文,家网布什演讲稿（中英对照）(3) )just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentors touch or a pastors prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our munities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued andexpected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in mitments. And we find that children and munity are the mitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are calledto do small things with great love. The most importanttasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interestwith courage, to speak for greater justice and passion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of ourhistory to the care of ourtimes.What you do is as important as anything government does.I ask you to seek a mon good beyond your fort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building munities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we holdbeliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenshipis missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "Weknow the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwindand direct{布什演讲稿（中英对照）(4)欢迎您访问范,文,家[!--titleurl--]}s this storm?"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The yearsand changes aumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nations grand story of courage and its *** dream of dignity.We are not this storys author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.尊敬的芮恩奎斯特***官，卡特总统，布什总统，克林顿总统，尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们，这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国事平常的。

布什英文演讲稿Ladies and Gentlemen,。

It is my great honor to be standing here today, addressing such a distinguished audience. Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of leadership and the role that the United States plays in the world.As a nation, we have always strived to be a beacon of freedom and democracy. We believe in the power of individual liberty and the rule of law. We believe that every person, regardless of their background or circumstances, should have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.In recent years, we have seen the rise of authoritarian regimes and the erosion of democratic values in many parts of the world. It is more important than ever for the United States to stand firm in our commitment to promoting freedom and human rights.We have also faced significant challenges on the global stage, from terrorism to climate change. These are not easy problems to solve, but we cannot shy away from our responsibilities. We must work with our allies and partners to address these issues head-on, using all the tools at our disposal.At the same time, we must also be mindful of the need to lead by example. We cannot expect other nations to follow our lead if we do not live up to our own values. This means addressing the divisions within our own society and working to create a more just and equitable world for all.I believe that the United States has a unique opportunity to shape the future for the better. We have the resources, the talent, and the will to make a real difference in the world. But we must also be humble enough to listen to others and learn from their experiences.In conclusion, I want to reaffirm our commitment to being a force for good in the world. We will continue to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult. We willcontinue to work with others to build a more peaceful and prosperous world for future generations.Thank you.。

President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua UniversityTsinghua UniversityBeijing, People's Republic of China10:35 A.M. (LocalPRESIDENT BUSH: Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind andgenerous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife, Laura, here. (Applause. Isee 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'scomfortable 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 thesupport of my country, to further ties between our two nations. I know howimportant this place is to your Vice President. He not only received his degree here, butmore importantly, he met his gracious wife here. (Laughter. I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance to talk a 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. One goes 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 inChina on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly differentgovernments could meet on thegrounds 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 offriendship and commerce. And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizensof 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 inthe 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 thatthe Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country. This happens formany 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 whocannot 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 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 own business, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and helpelect 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 a strong and fair legal system. My country's greatest symbol to the worldis 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 abook of law.We're a nation of laws. Our courts are honest and they are independent. ThePresident -- me -- I can't tell the courts how to rule, and neither can any other member ofthe executive or legislative branch of government. Under ourlaw, 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 thefree vote of the people. We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits andbalances 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 first shaped 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 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 mycountry. Faith points to a moral law beyond man's law, and calls us to duties higher thanmaterial 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 Americansof Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, or in 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. Chinahas made amazing progress -- in openness and enterprise and economic freedom. Andthis progress previews China'a great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as youto China's legal system. A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to governcommerce and secure the rights of its people. The new China your generation is buildingwill need the profound wisdom of your traditions. The lure of materialism challenges oursociety -- challenges society in our country, and in many successful countries. Yourancient ethic of personal and family responsibilitywill 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 atthe local level. Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- Iwant you to hear his words. He said that China would eventually expand democraticelections 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. Myprayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather andworship as they wish.All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China -- a China that canastonish 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 even the 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.

布什励志英语演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,It is a great honor for me to address you today. Throughout my life, I have had the privilege of meeting individuals from all walks of life who have inspired me with their courage, determination, and resilience. Today, I want to share with you some of the lessons I have learned from those individuals and how they have shaped my perspective on life.Firstly, I want to talk about perseverance. Many of us faced challenges and obstacles that tested our fortitude and resilience. It is easy to lose heart, to give up, and accept defeat. But perseverance means having the courage and determination to overcome adversity and to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult the journey. The story of my presidency is a classic example of perseverance. The 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, and the economic recession challenged our nation in many ways and tested our resolve. But despite all of these challenges, we never lost faith in our capacity to overcome them. We persevered, and as a result, we emerged stronger and more resilient than ever before. Secondly, I want to talk about leadership. Leadership is not just about commanding and controlling people. It's about inspiring people to reach their highest potential, and that requires a willingness to lead by example. Throughout my presidency, I worked to cultivate a culture of leadership in the White House and throughout our nation. I believed that the best way to lead was to set high standards for myself and my team, and to hold us all accountable for meeting those standards. We were not alwayssuccessful, but we never lost sight of the importance of being accountable to the American people.In a similar vein, I want to speak about service. Throughout my life, I have seen how service to others can be a powerful force for change. Whether it is volunteering at a local food bank, teaching a child how to read, or serving in the military, every act of service is an opportunity to make a positive impact on the world. As Americans, we have a duty to give back and make our communities and our world a better place. By serving others, we can find a sense of purpose and meaning that is not easily found through other pursuits.Lastly, I want to talk about optimism. Optimism is not the same as naivete or blindness to the challenges we face as a society. But it is the belief that we can overcome those challenges if we work together, stay focused, and never lose sight of our shared values. As Americans, we have a deep reservoir of optimism that has carried us through some of the darkest moments in our history. It is that optimism that inspires us to keep fighting for a better, more just, and more inclusive society.In conclusion, I want to challenge each and every one of you to embrace these lessons and apply them to your own lives. Persevere through adversity, lead by example, serve others, and stay optimistic even in the face of uncertainty and fear. Remember that the challenges we face today are not insurmountable, and that we have the power to shape our destiny and create a better future for ourselves and our children. Thank you, and God bless America.。

布什总统2002年清华大学演讲President Bush gives a speech at Tsinhua University （2002年）Vice President Hu,thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. Thank you for welcoming me and my wife,laura, here. 非常感谢胡锦涛主席热情洋溢的欢迎致词，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

I am so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of China’s and the world’s great universities.非常感谢各位对我的热情接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一。

The standards and the reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. So congratulations.清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身就是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。

My visit to China comes an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.Thirty years ago this week an American president arrived in China on an trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion. President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly differentgovernment could meet on the grounds of common interests in the spirit of mutual respect.我这次访华恰逢一个重要的纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，30年前的这一周，一位美国总统来到了中国，他访华之旅的目的是为了结速两国之间长达数十年的隔阂。

美国总统布什在清华大学的演讲全文（中英文对照）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。

我也看到我的助理赖斯女士，她曾经是斯德莫大学的校长，因此她回到校园是最适合不过的了。

非常感谢各位对我的热情的接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的一座学府之一，这所大学恰好是在美国的支持下成立的，成立的目标是为了推动我们两国间的关系。

我也知道清华这所大学对于副主席先生有着十分重要的意义，他不仅在这里获得了学位，而且是在这里与他优雅的夫人相识的。

我想同时，也感谢在座的各位学生给我这个机会跟大家见面，谈一谈我自己的国家，并且回答大家的一些问题。

清华大学的治学标准和名声闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。

我和我的太太有两个女儿，像你们一样正在上大学，有一个女儿上的是德州大学，一个女儿上的是耶鲁大学，他们是双胞胎。

我们对我们的两个女儿倍感骄傲，我想你们的父母对你们的成就也是同样的引以为荣的。

我这次访华恰逢一个重要的周年纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，三十年前这一周，一个美国的总统来到了中国，他的访华之旅目的是为了结束长达数十年的隔阂，和长达数百年的相互猜疑，本着相互利益，本着相互尊重的精神站在一起。

那天他们离开机场的时候，周总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说，你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。

自从那时以来，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。

随着我们两国间接触的日益频繁，我们两国的国民也逐渐地加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常非常重要的。

曾经一度，美国人只知道中国是一个历史悠久的一个伟大的国家，有伟大的文明。

今天，我们仍然看到中国奉行着重视家庭、学业和荣誉的优良的传统，同时，我们所看到的中国正日益成为世界上一个最富活力和最富创造力的社会之一，这一点最佳的验证便是在座诸位所具备的知识和潜力。

中国正走在一个发展的道路上，而美国欢迎一个强大、和平与繁荣的中国的出现。

美国总统布什就职演讲稿中英文版谢谢大家!尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官，卡特总统，布什总统，克林顿总统，尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们，这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国是平常的。

我们以朴素的宣誓庄严地维护了古老的传统，同时开始了新的历程。

首先，我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家作出的贡献，也感谢副总统戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与风度。

站在这里，我很荣幸，也有点受宠若惊。

在我之前，许多美国领导人从这里起步;在我之后，也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。

在美国悠久的历史中，我们每个人都有自己的位置;我们还在继续推动着历史前进，但是我们不可能看到它的尽头。

这是一部新世界的发展史，是一部后浪推前浪的历史。

这是一部美国由奴隶制社会发展成为崇尚自由的社会的历史。

这是一个强国保护而不是占有世界的历史，是捍卫而不是征服世界的历史。

这就是美国史。

它不是一部十全十美的民族发展史，但它是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的历史。

这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺，这就是：每个人都有自身的价值，每个人都有成功的机会，每个人天生都会有所作为的。

美国人民肩负着一种使命，那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。

虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退，但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。

在上个世纪的大部分时间里，美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。

现在它更像风中的种子，把自由带给每个民族。
