英语演讲稿：奥巴马总统在胡德堡枪击案悼念仪式上英语演讲稿in our lives -- in our joys andin our sorrows -- we’ve learned that there is “a time for everymatter underheaven.” we laugh and we weep. we celebrate and we mourn. we serve in warand we pray for peace. but scripture also teaches that, alongsidethe t emporal, one thing iseternal. “love bears all things, believes allthings, hopes all things, endures all things. lovenever ends.deputy secretary fox; generaldempsey; secretary mchugh; generals odierno and milley;and most of all, thefamilies of the soldiers who have been taken from us; the wounded -- thosewhohave returned to duty and those still recovering; and the entire community offort hood,this “great place”: it islove, tested by tragedy, that brings us together again. it was love for country thatinspired these three americans to put on the uniform and jointhe greatest armythat the world has ever known. sergeantfirst class daniel ferguson.staffsergeant carloslazaney-rodriguez. sergeant timothy owens.and danny and carlos joined twodecades ago, in a time of peace, and stayed as the nationwent to war. timothy joined after 9/11, knowing he couldbe sent into harm’s way. betweenthem,they deployed nine times. each served iniraq. danny came home from afghanistanjustlast year. they lived those shiningvalues -- loyalty, duty, honor -- that keep us strong and free.it was love for the army thatmade them the soldiers they were. fordanny, said his fiancée,being in the army “was his life.” carlos, said a friend, was “the e pitome ofwha t you would wanta leader to be in the army.”timothy helped counsel his fellowsoldiers. said a friend, “he wasalwaysthe person you could go talk to.”and it was love for theircomrades, for all of you, that defined their last moments. as we’veheard, when the gunman tried to pushhis way into that room, danny held the door shut, savingthe lives of otherswhile sacrificing his own. and it’s saidthat timothy -- the counselor, eventhen -- gave his life, walking toward thegunman, trying to calm him down. for you, their families, no wordsare equal to your loss. we are here onbehalf of theamerican people to honor your loved ones and to offer whatevercomfort we can. but know this:we also draw strength from you. for even in your grief, even as your heartbreaks, we see inyou that eternal truth: “love never ends.”to the parents of these men -- asa father, i cannot begin to fathom your anguish. but iknow that you poured your love and yourhopes into your sons.i know that themen and soldiersthey became -- their sense of service and their patriotism --so much of that came from you.you gaveyour sons to america, and just as you will honor them always, so, too, will thenationthat they served.to the loves of their lives --timothy’s wife billy and danny’s fiancée kristen -- these soldierscherishedthe army, but their hearts belonged to you. and that’s a bond that no earthly powercan ever break. they have slipped from your embrace, but knowthat you will never bealone.becausethis army and this nation stands with you for all the days to come.to their children -- we live in adangerous world, and your fathers served to keep you safeand us safe. they knew you have so much to give ourcountry; that you’d make them proud.timothy’s daughter lori already has. last wednesday ni ght, she posted this message online: “ijust wanteveryone tothink for a moment.” loveyour family, she said, “because you never knowwhen [they’re] gonna be takenfrom you. i love you, daddy.”and to the men and women of forthood -- as has already been mentioned, part of whatmakes this so painful isthat we have been here before. thistragedy tears at wounds still rawfrom five years ago. once more, soldiers who survived foreignwarzones were struck down hereat home, where they’re supposed to be safe. we still do not yet know exactly why, but wedoknow this: we must honor their lives,not “in word or talk, but in deed and in truth.”we must honor these men with arenewed commitment to keep our troops safe, not just inbattle but on the homefront, as well. in our open society, andat vast bases like this, we cannever eliminate every risk. but as a nation, we can do more to helpcounsel those with mentalhealth issues, to keep firearms out of the hands ofthose who are having such deep difficulties.as a military, we must continue to do everything in our power to secureour facilities and spareothers this pain.we must honor these men by doingmore to care for our fellow americans living withmental illness, civilian andmilitary. today, four american soldiersare gone. four army familiesaredevastated. as commander-in-chief, i’mdetermined that we will continue to step up ourefforts -- to reach our troopsand veterans who are hurting, to deliver to them the care that theyneed, andto make sure we never stigmatize those who have the courage to seek help.and finally, we must honor thesemen by recognizing that they were members of ageneration that has borne theburden of our security in more than a decade of war. now ourtroops are coming home, and by theend of this year our war in afghanistan will finally be over.in an era when fewer americansknow someone in uniform, every american must see thesemen and these women --our 9/11 generation -- as the extraordinary citizens that they are.they love their families. they excel at their jobs. they serve their communities. they areleaders. and when we truly welcome our veterans home,when we show them that we need them-- not just to fight in other countries,but to build up our own -- then our schools and ourbusinesses, our communitiesand our nation will be more successful, and america will bestronger and moreunited for decades to come.sergeant first class danielferguson. staff sergeantcarloslazaney-rodriguez. sergeanttimothyowens. like the 576 fort hood soldierswho have given their lives in iraq andafghanistan, they were taken from usmuch too soon. like the 13 americans welost five yearsago, their passing shakes our soul. and in moments such as this, we summon oncemore whatwe’ve learned in these hard years of war. we reach within our wounded hearts. we lean on eachother. we hold each other up. we carry on. and with god’s amazing grace, we somehow bearwhat seems unbearable.“love bears all things, believesall things, hopes all thing s, endures all things. love neverends.” may god watch over these american soldiers,may he keep strong their families whoselove endures, and may god continue tobless the united states of america with patriots such asthese.。

奥巴马--无畏的希望（中英文版）The audacity of hope obamaKeynote Address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention无畏的希望让奥巴马迈向白宫的演讲希望就是勇气，希望就是力量:2004年7月27日在民主党全国代表大会上的致辞巴拉克?奥巴马文海星译On behalf of the great state of Illinois, crossroads of a nation,land of Lincoln, let me express my deep gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention. Tonight is a particular honor for me because, let's face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant. 作为伟大的伊利诺斯州——全国的交通枢纽，林肯的故乡——的代表，我为有向此次大会致辞的机会而深感荣幸。

今晚于我而言是一份特殊的荣耀。

我们得承认，我出现在这个讲坛上是件不可思议的事。

我的父亲是个外国留学生，在肯尼亚的一个小村庄出生并长大，他幼时牧羊，在铁皮顶做成的简陋小屋里上学。

他的父亲，我的祖父，是个厨师，一个佣人。

But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place: America, which stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. While studying here, my father met my mother. Shewas born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor he signed up for duty, joined Patton's army and marched across Europe. Back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA, and moved west in search of opportunity.但我祖父对他的儿子有更大的梦想。

控枪法案受阻
美国国会参议院拒绝通过两党关于扩大对购枪者背景
调查的立法，使奥巴马总统管制枪支的计划受挫。 参院阻挠法案被看作是赞成拥枪团体的胜利，这些组
织说建议草案违反了持枪的权利。尽管大多数美国人
支持“枪控法案”，但美国参议院日前拒绝通过有关 扩大购枪者背景调查的跨党派法案。只有54名参议 员投票支持，没有获得60张支持票的最低票数。 美国总统奥巴马对这一结果非常失望和愤怒，称这天 是华盛顿不光彩的一天。奥巴马表示：“枪支游说者 及其盟友就该法案撒了谎，而那些投反对票的参议员

美国民众持枪传统成因
一、枪支是美国的立国之本。
当“五月花号”到达北美大陆的时候，第一批来 到这里的欧洲移民面临的是一片蛮荒的陆地和四处游 荡的野兽。在这种恶劣的环境下这些移民想要生存下 来，武器显然成为必不可少的工具。毫不夸张地说， 正是依靠了先进的武器，美国的先民们才在与野兽和 印第安土著的斗争中存活下来。后当地政府也直接介 入到对于武器的管理上来。各州陆续颁布法令要求各 州人民必须持有或携带枪支，有的州甚至对于没有枪 支的居民加以处罚。 美国人民对于武器的推崇在独立战争中进一步得 到加强。此前，各州基本上都没有常备的正规军 。这 源于美国先民对于常备军的怀疑和恐惧。他们认为由 政府控制的常备军会成为压制人民自由和权力的工具。 反抗英国暴政压迫的重任落在由持有武器的民众组成 的民兵肩上，尚武的精神导致后来的宪法规定，在美 国境内的公民拥有武器自卫的权利 。
