奥巴马演讲-在911袭击10周年演讲稿

THE PRESIDENT: The Bible tells us -- “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkestnights. Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters –- they were taken from us with a heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. And on September 12, 2001, we awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future.In the decade since, much has changed for Americans. We’ve known war and recession, passionate debates and political divides. We can never get back the lives that were lost on that day or the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed.And yet today, it is worth remembering what has not changed. Our character as a nation has not changed. Our faith -– in God and in each other –- that has not changed. Our belief in America, born of a timeless ideal that men and women should govern themselves; thatall people are created equal, and deserve the same freedom to determine their own destiny –- that belief, through tests and trials, has only been strengthened.These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear. The rescue workers who rushed to the scene, the firefighters who charged up the stairs, the passengers who stormed the cockpit -- these patriots defined the very nature of courage. Over the years we’ve a lso seen a more quiet form of heroism -- in the ladder company that lost so many men and still suits up and saves lives every day, the businesses that have been rebuilt from nothing, the burn victim who has bounced back, the families who press on.Last spring, I received a letter from a woman named Suzanne Swaine. She had lost her husband and brother in the Twin Towers, and said that she had been robbed of, “so many would-be proud moments where a father watches their child graduate, or tend a goal in a lac rosse game, or succeed academically.”But her daughters are in college, the other doing well in high school. “It has been 10 years of raising these girls on my own,” Suzanne wrote.“I could not be prouder of their strength and resilience.”That spirit typifies our American family. And the hopeful future for those girls is the ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers who took the life of their father.These past 10 years have shown America’s resolve to defend its citizens, and our way of life. Diplomats serve in far off posts, and intelligence professionals work tirelessly without recognition. Two million Americans have gone to war since 9/11. They have demonstrated that those who do us harm cannot hide from the reach of justice, anywhere in the world. America has been defended not by conscripts, but by citizens who choose to serve -– young people who signed up straight out of high school, guardsmen and reservists, workers and business-people, immigrants and fourth-generation soldiers. They are men and women who left behind lives of comfort for two, three, four, five tours of duty. Too many will never come home. Those that do carry dark memories from distant places and the legacy of fallen friends.The sacrifices of these men and women, and of our military families, reminds us that the wages of war are great; that while service to our nation is full of glory, war itself is never glorious. Our troops have been to lands unknown to many Americans a decade ago -– to Kandahar and Kabul; to Mosul and Basra. But our strength is not measured in our ability to stay in these places; it comes from our commitment to leave those lands to free people and sovereign states,and our desire to move from a decade of war to a future of peace.These 10 years have shown that we hold fast to our freedoms. Yes, we’re more vigilant against those who threaten us, and there are inconveniences that come with our common defense. Debates –- about war and peace, about security and civil liberties –- have often been fierce these last 10 years. But it is precisely the rigor of these debates, and our ability to resolve them in a way that honors our values and our democracy, that is the measure of ourstrength. Meanwhile, our open markets still provide innovators the chance to create and succeed, our citizens are still free to speak their minds, and our souls are enriched in churches and temples, our synagogues and our mosques.These past 10 years underscores the bonds between all Americans. We have not succumbed to suspicion, nor have we succumbed to mistrust. After 9/11, to his great credit, President Bush made clear what we reaffirm today: The United States will never wage war against Islam or any other religion. Immigrants come here from all parts of the globe. And in the biggest cities and the smallest towns, in schools and workplaces, you still see people of every conceivable race and religion and ethnicity -– all of thempledging allegiance to the flag, all of them reaching for the same American dream –- e pluribus unum, out of many, we are one.These past 10 years tell a story of our resilience. The Pentagon is repaired, and filled with patriots working in commonpurpose. Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and families who lost loved ones there. New York -- New York remains the most vibrant of capitals of arts and industry and fashion and commerce. Where the World Trade Center once stood, the sun glistens off a new tower that reaches towards the sky.Our people still work in skyscrapers. Our stadiums are still filled with fans, and our parks full of children playing ball. Our airports hum with travel, and our buses and subways take millions where they need to go. And families sit down to Sunday dinner, and students prepare for school. This land pulses with the optimism of those who set out for distant shores, and the courage of those who died for human freedom.Decades from now, Americans will visit the memorials to those who were lost on 9/11. They’ll run thei r fingers over the places where thenames of those we loved are carved into marble and stone, and they may wonder at the lives that they led. And standing before the white headstones in Arlington, and in peaceful cemeteries and small-town squares in every corner of the country, they will pay respects to those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ll see the names of the fallen on bridges and statues, at gardens and schools.And they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America. They will remember that we’ve overcome slavery and Civil War; we’ve overcome bread lines and fascism and recession and riots, and communism and, yes, terrorism. They will be reminded that we are not perfect, but our democracy is durable, and that democracy –- reflecting, as it does, the imperfections of man -– also give us the opportunity to perfect our union. That is what we honor on days of national commemoration –- those aspects of the American experience that are enduring, and the determination to move forward as one people.More than monuments, that will be the legacy of 9/11 –- a legacy of firefighters who walked into fire and soldiers who signed up to serve; of workers who raised new towers, and citizens who faced down their private fears. Most of all, of children who realized the dreams oftheir parents. It will be said that we kept the faith; that we took a painful blow, and we emerged stronger than before.“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”With a just God as our guide, let us honor those who have been lost, let us rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our nation, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope.May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.。

奥巴马的演讲稿尊敬的各位同胞：今天，我站在这里，心怀对我们伟大国家的深深敬意和对未来的坚定信念。

我们生活在一个充满挑战和机遇的时代。

经济的起伏、社会的变革、国际局势的风云变幻，都在考验着我们的勇气和智慧。

但我要告诉大家，我们是美利坚合众国，我们从不畏惧困难，我们总是在逆境中崛起。

我们共同经历了许多艰难的时刻，但也正是这些时刻让我们更加团结，更加坚定地追求我们的梦想。

我们的梦想，是一个每个孩子都能接受优质教育，不论他们来自哪里，不论他们的家庭背景如何。

教育是我们通向未来的桥梁，是我们打破贫困循环的关键。

我们已经取得了一些进展，但我们不能满足，我们要让每一间教室都充满希望，让每一位老师都得到应有的支持和尊重。

我们的梦想，也是一个人人都能享受到公平的医疗保健的国家。

没有人应该因为生病而破产，没有人应该因为经济困难而得不到必要的治疗。

我们已经迈出了重要的一步，但我们还有很长的路要走。

我们要继续努力，让医疗保健成为每个人的权利，而不是少数人的特权。

我们的梦想，更是一个充满创新和机会的国家。

我们要鼓励创业精神，支持那些敢于冒险、敢于追求梦想的人。

我们要投资于科技研发，让我们在全球竞争中保持领先地位。

我们要建设现代化的基础设施，让我们的交通更便捷，能源更清洁，网络更高速。

然而，要实现这些梦想，我们不能只靠政府的力量。

政府有责任创造一个公平的竞争环境，制定合理的政策，但真正的变革来自于每一个公民的努力。

我们每个人都要承担起自己的责任，积极参与社区事务，关心他人，帮助那些需要帮助的人。

我们也要记住，我们是一个多元化的国家，我们的力量来自于我们的多样性。

不同肤色、不同信仰、不同背景的人，都为这个国家的繁荣做出了贡献。

我们不能让偏见和歧视割裂我们的社会，我们要以包容和理解的心态，共同建设一个更美好的美国。

在国际舞台上，我们要继续发挥领导作用。

我们要与其他国家合作，共同应对全球性的挑战，如气候变化、恐怖主义、疾病传播。

Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.晚上好。

今天晚上，我终于能向美国人民和全世界宣布，美国指挥的一项行动已经将基地组织的头目奥萨马本拉登击毙，他要为成千上万美国无辜的男人女人和儿童的死亡负责。

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory -- hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky; the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground; black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon; the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.那个阳光明媚的九月被美国有史以来遭受的最惨重的恐怖袭击遮蔽，距今就要十年了。

911事件英语作文篇一：关于9.11恐怖袭击的英语演讲短文中英文对照大约一个月前，美国总统奥巴马前往纽约，向9/11恐怖袭击的受害者致敬。

几天前，美军在巴基斯坦打死了基地组织头目本.拉登。

奥巴马在被摧毁的世界贸易中心大厦遗址献花环，并会见2001年基地组织袭击遇难者的亲属。

今年是针对美国的911袭击十周年。

这无疑是一个重要的新闻。

而之后，也门的基地组织领袖瓦锡什警告将向美国发动更多袭击，瓦锡什在网上公布的声明中对美国人说，拉登死亡后，“圣战的光芒更加耀眼”，“即将发生的事更加伟大，对美国人来说也更糟糕”。

我的观点，和平发展是当今世界的主题，我们应热爱和平，呼吁和平，打击恐怖主义，去创造一个美好的未来。

无疑，本拉登要为他所奉行的理念和因他而起的死亡和破坏负责。

但是更严重的问题还在现在正在进行的斗争中。

现在，谁将控制基地组织？对于基地组织来说，不论以何种目的，都不应该以无辜人的性命作为谈判的砝码。

唯一的希望是那些真正学习、了解并坚守自己的信仰的穆斯林能最终说服他们的兄弟姐妹不再用暴力解决问题。

我希望发达国家和中东稍微有一点和平。

About a month ago ,U.S. President Barack Obama traveled to New York to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, days after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. Mr. Obama was laid a wreath at the site of the destroyed World Trade Center buildings and met with relatives of those killed in the 2001 al-Qaida attacks.This year is the tenth anniversary of the attacks against the United States on September eleventh, two thousand one. This is undoubtedly an important and relaxing news.And then the leader of al-Qaida in Yemen is warning the United States of more attacks.In a statement posted on the Internet, Nasser al-Wahishi tells Americans that the “((holy war)) is brighterfollowing bin Laden's death and that "what is coming is greater and worse."In my opinion, Peace and development should be the topic of today's world, we should love peace,and call for peace, fight against terrorism, to gain a better future.There is no doubt that Osama bin Laden had to answer for the ideology he espoused and the death and destruction he reveledin. But serious questions remain in this ongoing fight. So now who, if anyone, will take control of al-Qaida?For al-qaida , regardless of what purpose should not take innocent people's lives as a negotiation of weights. The only hope is that Muslims who truly study, understand, and live their faith will eventually convince their brothers and sisters to give up on violence as a solution. ...I sure hope Developed countries are just a little closer to peace with the middle east.篇二：911英文写作Looking back and ahead, America remembers 9/11NEW YORK —Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago.In New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, across the United States and the world, people carried out rituals now as familiar as they are heartbreaking: American flags unfurled at the new World Trade Center tower and the Eiffel Tower, and tears shed at the base of the Pentagon and a base in Iraq.President Barack Obama quoted the Bible and spoke of finding strength in fear. George W. Bush, still new to the presidency that day, invoked the national sacrifice of the Civil War. Vice President JoeBiden said hope must grow from tragedy.And Jessica Rhodes talked about her niece, Kathryn L. LaBorie, the lead flight attendant on the plane that hit the south tower. She remembered a radiant smile and infinite compassion, and suggested that now, 10 years on, it is time to turn a corner. "Although she may not ever be found, she will never ever be lost to her family and her friends,Rhodes said after she read a segment of the list of the dead at ground zero. "Today we honor her by letting go of the sadness over losing her and embracing the joy of having known her."It was the 10th time the nation has paused to remember a defining day. In doing so, it closed a decade that produced two wars, deep changes in national security, shifts in everyday life —and, months before it ended, the death at American hands of the elusive terrorist who masterminded the attack."These past 10 years tell a story of resilience,Obama said at a memorial concert at the Kennedy Center after he visited all three attack sites."It will be said of us that we kept that faith; that we took a painful blow, and emerged stronger,he said.The anniversary took place under heightened security. In New York and Washington especially, authorities were on alert. Ahead ofthe anniversary, the federal governmentwarned those cities of a tip about a possible car-bomb plot. Police searched trucks in New York, and streets near the trade center were blocked. To walk within blocks of the site, people had to go through checkpoints.The names of the fallen —2,983 of them, including all the victims from the three Sept. 11 attack sites and six people who died when terrorists set off a truck bomb under the towers in 1993 —echoed across a place utterly transformed.In the exact footprints of the two towers was a stately memorial, two great, weeping waterfalls, unveiled for the first time and, at least on the first day, open only to the relatives of the victims. Around the square perimeter of each were bronze parapets, etched with names.Some of the relatives were dressed in funereal suits and others in fire department T-shirts. They traced the names with pencils and paper, and some left pictures or flowers, fitting the stems into the recessed lettering.At the south tower pool, an acre in area and 30 feet deep, Mary Dwyer, of Brooklyn, remembered her sister, Lucy Fishman, who worked for Aon Corp., an insurance company that occupied seven floors near the very top."It's the closest I'll ever get to her again,she said. One Sept. 11 relative pronounced the memorial breathtaking. An underground section and a museum won't open until next year, but for many of the families, the names were enough."It breaks me up,said David Martinez, who watched the attacks happen from his office in Manhattan, and later learned that he had lost a cousin and a brother, one in each tower.At memorial services, people talked of grief and loss and war and justice. But they also talked of moving forward."Every year it becomes more significant,Barbara Gorman said at a service for the Port Authority dead, which included 37 police officers, one of them her husband, Thomas. "My kids are 25, 21, 18. They understand now. It's not so much a tragedy anymore as history, the history of our country."In the decade between then and now, children have grown. The second-graders who were with Bush on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, will graduate high school next spring.And children who were in the cradle or the womb on that day are old enough to read names at the anniversary, old enough to bear the full burden of their grief."You will always be my hero,Patricia Smith, 12, said of her mother.Nicholas Gorki remembered his father, "who I never met because I was in my mother's belly. I love you, Father. You gave me the gift of life, and I wish you could be here to enjoy it with me."Alex Zangrilli said: "Dad, I wish you were here with me to give me advice, to be on the sidelines when I play sports like all the other dads. ... I wish we had more time together."Madeline Hoffman smiled as she said to her father: "Everyone always tells me I look and act just like you.And Caitlin Roy, whose father was a firefighter, said: "I want to thank you for the nine years you spent as my dad. They were short but not without their benefits. We're taken care of now. We're happy."Obama, standing behind bulletproof glass and in front of the white oak trees of the memorial, read a Bible passage after a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., when the first jetliner slammed into the north tower 10 years ago.The president, quoting Psalm 46, invoked the presence of God as an inspiration to endure: "Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."Obama and Bush, joined by their wives, walked up to one of thepools and put their hands to some of the names. Bush later read from a letter that President Abraham Lincoln wrote to a mother believed to have lost five sons in the Civil War: "I pray that our heavenly father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement."In a ceremony at the Pentagon, Biden paid tribute to "the 9/11 generation of warriors."Never before in our history has America asked so much over such a sustained period of an all-volunteer force,he said. "So I can say without fear of contradiction or being accused of exaggeration, the 9/11 generation ranks among the greatest our nation has ever produced, and it was born —it was born —it was born right here on 9/11."Defense Secretary Leon Panetta paid tribute to 6,200 members of the U.S. military who have died in the Iraq and Afghan wars. One hundred eighty-four people died at the Pentagon.In Shanksville, Pa., a choir sang at the Flight 93 National Memorial, and a crowd of 5,000 listened to a reading of the names of 40 passengers and crew killed aboard the fourth jetliner hijacked that day a decade ago. Obama and his wife traveled to the Pennsylvania town after their visit to New York and placed a wreath at the memorial. During the president's visit, members of the crowd chanted, "USA! USA!One man called out: "Thanks forgetting bin Laden!It was the first anniversary observance since al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in May.In a brief scare, two military aircraft escorted a New York-bound American Airlines flight from Los Angeles. Three passengers made repeated trips to the bathroom and some people thought they were using hand signals to communicate, but the men werecleared and sent on their way, said a law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The official said earlier reports that the men had locked themselves in the bathroom were incorrect.Fighter jets also shadowed a Denver-to-Detroit Frontier Airlines flight after the crew reported that two people were spending an unusual amount of time in the bathroom. The FBI said a search of the plane turned up nothing and three passengers were questioned and released."Due to the anniversary of Sept. 11, all precautions were taken, and any slightinconsistency was taken seriously,said Sandra Berchtold, an FBI spokeswoman in Detroit.For the most part, in New York, away from the trade center, it was a pleasantSeptember Sunday. People had brunch outdoors. Bicycles crowded the paths along the Hudson River. Families strolled around. Sailboats caught a river breeze and drifted past the dock where emergency vessels evacuated trade center survivors.Elsewhere in the nation, it was a day not to bring life to a stop, as it was 10 years ago, but to pause and reflect.Outside FedEx Field in Landover, Md., fans got ready for the first Sunday of the NFL season, the Redskins and Giants, Washington and New York. There was extra security at the stadium. Scott Millar, a Redskins season ticket-holder, used the logic of post-Sept. 11 America in deciding to go to the game."You've got to trust the security. You've got to trust the people who are here to protect you,he said. "We're here to have a good time."In southwest Missouri, where 160 people died in May in the nation's deadliest tornado in six decades, New York firefighters and ground zero construction workers joined survivors in a tribute to the victims of Sept. 11.The New York contingent brought a 20-by-30-foot American flag recovered a decade ago from a building near the trade center. Survivors of a Greensburg, Kan., tornado began repairing the flag in2008, using remnants of flags from their town. The final stitches are being made in Joplin, Mo., and then the flag will go to the National 9/11 Memorial Museum. Missouri is the last stop on a 50-state tour to promote national unity and volunteerism."We're so far away from the World Trade Center,said Christy Miller, who brought her mother and two children to the Joplin tribute. "But it doesn't matter how far away you are."Some observed the day as a time to serve. Thousands cleaned parks, renovatedcommunity centers and gave blood as they did in the days after the 2001 attacks. Some said they were trying to reclaim good will that they said has been lost amid political rancor and economic fear. "As unfortunate as it was, it seemed like it put us all back into the frame of mind that life wasn't just about me,said Yvette Windham, who joined 200 people to build seven new homes in a Nashville, Tenn., neighborhood.The world offered gestures large and small. The Colosseum in Rome, rarely lit up,glowed in solidarity. Pope Benedict XVI encouraged people to resist "temptation toward hatredand focus on justice and peace. Taps sounded in Belgium and in Bagram, Afghanistan. InMadrid, they planted 10 American oak trees in a park, led by a prince. And in Malaysia, Pathmawathy Navaratnam woke up Sunday in her suburban Kuala Lumpur home and did what she's done every day for the past decade —say "good morningto her son, Vijayashanker Paramsothy, who was killed in New York on Sept. 11, 2001."He is my sunshine. He has lived life to the fullest, but I can't accept that he is not here anymore,Navaratnam said. "I am still living, but I am dead inside."The Taliban marked the anniversary by vowing to keep fighting against U.S. forces in Afghanistan, insisting that they had no role in the Sept. 11 attacks. They railed against "American colonialismand said Afghans have "endless staminafor war.篇三：修辞分析~布什在911事件后的演讲中英文对照布什在911事件后的演讲Good evening.晚上好，Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.
