I’m honored to give you such a speech today,and please do promit me to get started with a brief introduction.This speech was originally given by the king of the United Kingdom during World War Ⅱ,namely the King GeorgeⅥ.He had been suffering from a severe stuttering problem because of his grey memories in childhood.He was reluctant to take over the throne after his brother abdicated,not to mention to give the public speeches as a king should do,especially under the shadow of war all over the world.Luckily,he was helped a lot by his wife,his friends as well as his speech therapist,and finally found his voice and courageously led his people into the most devastating war humanity had ever faced.The story was adapted into the famous film,the King’s speech, which has won the Oscar Award of the best picture in 2011.Well,let’s start the speech.In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I send to every household of my peoples, both at home and overseas, this message, spoken with the same depth of feeling for each one of you as if I were able to cross your threshold and speak to you myself.在这个庄严时刻,也许是我国历史上最生死攸关的时刻,我向我治下的所有子民——无论在国内或在海外,送出这条信息。
国王的演讲公元1415年,英王亨利五世带领孤军深入法国腹地,最后他的军队被法军逼到一个没有防卫的要塞。
莎士比亚为我们描绘出当时的场景。
在战役打响之前,国王作了这样的演讲:“谁没有心思打这一仗,就让他离队好了。
我们发给他通行证,还让他带上钱作盘缠。
既然他不愿和我们一起以身报国,我们也不愿和他死在一起。
”著名经济学家迪克西特分析道:这个策略是,任何想要接受这一临阵豁免提议的士兵,都不得不在所有同伴眼皮底下这么做,当然,没有人愿意这么做,因为这实在太丢脸了。
士兵通过拒绝这一提议,在心理上已经破釜沉舟、切断退路了。
他们彼此之间已经签订了一份合同,宣布面临生命危险时,谁也不苟且偷生。
接下来本应该是“打了胜仗,金票大大的有”。
但是亨利五世有更高明之处,他继续演讲道:“上了年纪的人记性差,但是哪怕什么都忘了,他也会如数家珍地回忆自己干下的业绩……我们这一帮生死与共的兄弟,凡是今天和我一道血洒战场的人,都将是我的兄弟。
不管他的地位如何卑微低下……此刻熟睡的绅士,有朝一日会埋怨自己时运不济,没能来到这里……”多么煽情的激励,成为国王的兄弟,他一开口就让其他人感到英雄气概顿生。
当他的将领感慨:“要是我们再多一万人就好了。
”亨利五世回答道:“哪怕再增加一个人我也不愿意,增加一个人就会分享我们那么一点光荣。
”反正也不会有援军来,不如说得体面点。
这段对话据说被当时的传记作家记录下来,后来被放入了莎士比亚的戏剧中而广为流传。
阿金库尔战役最后以亨利五世的大胜而告终。
那么当你凯旋,国王会跟你说:“我的兄弟,到我的王宫来,和我住在一起吧,把我的妹子嫁给你吗?”当然不会,说到底这是一些空话,但这种激励确实很管用。
