Networking technology is still in its infancy, yet it has reached already the point where we can call it a new mass medium.Less than 5 years after the birth of the World Wide Web, some 90 million people are online around the world, and that number will be hundreds of millions before too long.虽然网络技术还处于初 级阶段,但是它已经可以被称为一个新的大众媒体。互联网诞生还不到五年,全球已有九千万人在使 用它。不需要多久,使用它的人将数以亿计。

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a(desert)state, swelte ring with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.我梦想有一天,甚至在 密西西比州这个正义匿迹、压迫成风的地方,也变成自由和正义的绿 洲。
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today.我梦想有一天,我的四个孩子能生活在一个不是以他们的肤色,而是以他们的品格优劣来评价他们的国家里,我今天有一个梦想。I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right here in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today.41 我梦想有一天,阿拉巴 马州能够有所转变,尽管该州州长现在仍然 满口异议,反对联邦法令,但有朝 一日,阿拉巴马州这里的黑人 男孩和女孩就能与白人男孩和女孩 情同骨肉携手并进。我今天有一 个梦想。

---------------------------China has an Olympic Dream中国有个奥林匹克梦 Everybody has a dream.每个人都有一个梦想。
Martin Luther King has a dream and we can all recall his famous Civil Rights speech.马丁·路德·全有一个 梦想一一我们都能回忆起他着名的人权演讲。Phil Knight had a dream and now the whole world knows his Nike slogan, “Just do it”.菲尔骑士有一个梦想一 一现在全世界人民都知道了他的耐克的口号:“只 管做吧!” China also has a dream, an Olympic dream.挑中国也同样有一个梦想,一个奥林匹克梦想
A hundred years ago, a newspaper in Tianjin.Published an article about China's Olympic dream.一百年以前,天津出版的一份报纸刊登了中国奥林匹梦的文章,These challenging questions were raised.给当时的中国提出了三 个很有挑战性的问题。
The first, when can China send a team to the Olympics? 首先,什么时候中国能派第一 支队伍参加奥运会? The second, when can China win an Olympic gold medal? 其次,什么时候,中国人能赢 得第一块金牌?
The third, when can China host an Olympic Games? 第三,什么时候中国能主办奥 运会? As you all know, our country has answered the first two.公众所周知,我们已经回答了前两个 问题。
China sent its team nearly 70 years ago and won its first gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Games.Since then, we have all been hoping to answer the third.中国于70多年前就派她 的第一支代表队参加了奥运会,并在1984年的洛杉矶奥 运会上赢得了第一块全牌。从那一刻起,我们就企 盼着回答第三个问题。
Earlier this year, China started its final bid for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, our passion is to realize the last part of our Olympic dream.今年早些时候,中国开始了申办2008年 奥运会的后续工作,我们的热情将谱写我们 奥林匹克梦的最后一部 曲。
That dream guided our first bid eight years ago.这个梦想引导我们在8 年前进行了第一次申办 活动,No Chinese will soon forget the disappointment when it burst!所有的中国人都不会忘记那梦想破碎时的失望。
However, China's commitment to the Olympic movement has revived the dream.然而,中国对奥林匹克 运动的热情又重新点燃了梦想的火 炬。As you know, China increased its participation in Sydney and brought home unparalleled success with 28 gold medals.45 大家都知道,中国队积极参与悉尼奥运并捧回了史无前例的28 枚金牌。
In the past eight years, China has spared no efforts to host international sporting events and create a green environment for our Olympic dream.在过去的8年中,中国不遗余力地举办各种国际性的体育 赛事,为我们的奥林匹克梦创 造绿色环境。
It seems everyone is now trying to contribute to our Green Olympic bid.似乎每个人都在为我们 的绿色申奥贡献力量
Even my 12-year-old cousin from Beijing is doing her part.连我北京12岁的表妹都在尽她的责任--When she visited my hometown during the Spring Festival, she proudly told me she is part of the “Green Angels Campaign”.Then, as if making an announcement at a conference, she declared every Sunday, she joins her Green Angels Group and spends two hours collecting litter in a park.她春节来我家的时候,骄傲地告诉我,她是“绿色天使活动”的一员。然后,像在会上宣布决定那样,她宣布,每个星期天,她都参加绿色天使团活 动,在公园里捡两个小时垃圾,I felt dubious, because I know she seldom does anything at home with her “tender little hands”.Let alone collecting litter!However, her parents confirmed and supported their daughter's efforts.我很怀疑,因为我知道,她在家里 很少用她那双“娇嫩的小手”做 事,更别提捡垃圾了!然而,她爸爸妈妈答应了,并支持他们的女儿这样 做。
Beyond the recent personal, the whole country has for many years been laying foundations for this vision.除个人参与外,很多年来,整个国家一 直都在为此而打基础,We are the global village, yet in the past two decades, we have made great social and economic progress.我们是地球村里人口最 多的国家,但在过去的二十年中,我们在社会和经济发展 中取得了巨大的成就。
For the first time, instead of worrying about food, we now can choose from a wide variety of hypermarkets and restaurants for the first time, instead of concerns about a roof to shelter us, many are now buying their own apartments.我们第一次不用为食物担忧,我们可以到超市和餐馆里慢慢挑选;不再为我们的住所担心,许多人都能购买自己的 公寓。So, for a whole country, China has regarded the opportunity to host the Olympics as a symbol of prosperity and also as a symbol of ration in the international community.对中国,我们把举办奥运的机会视为国家繁荣的象征,也是跟国际接轨的象征,This may also explain why so many Chinese were moved to tears each time the TV showed our national flag being raised in an Olympic stadium.这也可以解释为什么这么多的中国人当从电视上看到我们的国旗从奥运 体育馆升起的时候会激动得流泪。
Those Olympic achievements illustrate how the Chinese dragon is waking.这些成绩讲述了东方巨龙是怎样醒来的。
Even my young cousin is waking to her responsibility to sacrifice study time and dirty her hands to see this dream fulfilled of hosting an Olympic Games.甚至我的表妹也意识到,她牺牲她的学习时间,弄脏她的小手,为了见证我们奥林匹克 梦想的实现。
Everyone feels overjoyed when a great dream comes true.当伟大梦想实现的时候,每个人都欢欣鼓舞,I will feel very happy if I can realize my dream today: to win this competition.如果我能够实现我今天的梦想赢得此次比赛,The Chinese people will feel rewarded if they can win the bid this July and realize their Olympic dream, a century-old dream.我也将非常高兴。如果中国人民能赢得7 月的胜利实现我们上百年的奥休匹克梦想,我们将会感觉到,这是 一种回报。
But like all dreams, you never know the ending until the last minute.但像所有的梦一样,只有到最后一刻,你才 会知道它的结局,So, if I could add something more to Beijing's bid.I would simply say: “Hey, world, now is the time to let us 'JUST DO IT'!” 所以,如果我能为北京申奥作点什么的话.我只想简单的说:“嘿,全世界人民,现在是让我们'做'的时 候啦!” Thank you for dreaming with me!谢谢你们和我一起体验 梦境--------------------
From a Speech-writer's Mouth演讲稿撰稿者谈演讲
Someone once said, “Your mouth and your mind are wonderful things.有人曾经说过:”人的嘴巴和脑子是非 常奇妙的东西
They start working the minute you're born and never stop...until you get up to speak in public.它们从你生下来那一刻起就开始工作。并且从不停止,直到你站起来面对公众演讲时。
" Of all the many things to fear in life, people fear public speaking the most.生活中所有让人害怕的 事情中,最叫人害怕的是面对公 众演讲。But stage fright is only half the challenge First you have to figure out what you're going to say.但是,怯场还只是这种挑战的一半。首先你得盘算好说些什 么。
Here many people freeze, held back by the idea that speeches are magic, and that they are some combination of special tricks and show business that cannot be achieved by the average person.许多人在这儿就卡住了,认为演讲很神秘,像是魔法和难以企及的表演的某种结合,正是这种看法令普通人望而却步。Speeches are not magic.演讲并不神秘。
A speech is a combination of information and opinion written on paper and spoken.演讲实质上是写在纸上由口头表达的信息和意 见的结合体。If you can have a thoughtful conversation, you can write and give a thoughtful speech.49 如果你能够富有见解地 与人交谈,你肯定能写出和发表一 篇富有见地的演讲。
This is just one more reason why spoken English is so important!这又说明为什么口语如此重要。
Here are a few things I've learned as a speechwriter.That may help: 下面是我当演讲词撰稿 人学到的几点,也许有帮助:
No speech should last more than 20 minutes.演讲不要超过20分钟。
The more important the message, the less time required to say it.越是重要的信息,说的时间要越短。
The Gettysburg Address lasted only about three minutes.林肯总统的葛底斯堡演讲只用了仅仅三分钟。
In other words, the shorter our speech is, the more easily it can be remembered!换句话说,你的演讲越短,就越容易给人留下深刻 印象。Focus on one topic.集中于一个主题。
It is too difficult to follow along to a speech that covers too man thoughts, opinions or ideas.一场包含许多思想、观 点的演讲很难使听众从头至尾地 听完。Choose your words carefully.遣词用字细斟酌。

But stage fright is only half the challenge 但是,怯场还只是这种 挑战的一半。
First you have to figure out what you're going to say.首先你得盘算好说些什 么。Here many people freeze, 许多人在这儿就卡住了,held back by the idea that speeches are magic, 认为演讲很神秘,像是 魔法
and that they are some combination of special tricks 和难以企及的表演的某 种结合,and show business that cannot be achieved 正是这种看法
by the average person.令普通人望而却步。Speeches are not magic.演讲并不神秘。
A speech is a combination of information and opinion 演讲实质上是写在纸上 written on paper and spoken.由口头表达的信息和意 见的结合体。If you can have a thoughtful conversation, 如果你能够富有见解地 与人交谈,you can write and give a thoughtful speech.你肯定能写出和发表一 篇富有见地的演讲。This is just one more reason 这又说明为什么

The more important the message, 越是重要的信息,the less time required to say it.说的时间要越短。
The Gettysburg Address lasted only about three minutes.林肯总统的葛底斯堡演 讲只用了仅仅三分钟。In other words, 换句话说,the shorter our speech is, 你的演讲越短,the more easily it can be remembered!就越容易给人留下深刻 印象。Focus on one topic.集中于一个主题。
It is too difficult to follow along 一场包含许多思想、观 点的演讲
to a speech that covers too man thoughts, opinions or ideas.很难使听众从头至尾地 听完。Choose your words carefully.遣词用字细斟酌。
It's important to remember 记住这一点很重要,that your words must be hearable 你用的词一开口就
and comprehensible the first time out.一定要让人听得见,听 得懂。A lot of words sound alike.许多词发音相似。For instance, 例如,如果你读得快一 点,the words “eunuch” and “unique” sound very similar “eunuch”(太监)和“uni que”(惟一的;独特的)when pronounced quickly.这两个词就很相似。
A speech that describes a unique responsibility 一篇描述一项特别责任 的演讲 is very different from a speech 与一篇介绍太监职责的 演讲
that describes a eunuch responsibility!有着天壤之别。
Certainly is!That's why pronounciation is also important.在选择你的用词的时候,in chosing your words.发音当然是非常重要的。
Humor is vital.as we demonstrate it, 幽默至关重要。Every speech needs it,and you need it, too,probably at the top.每篇演讲都需要幽默,你也需要,也许就在演 讲开始的时候。Ronald Reagan always wanted a joke 罗纳德·里很总是在演 讲 at the beginning of a speech 开始时讲个笑话,because he needed the quick victory of laughter.因为他需要让笑声带给 他迅捷的胜利。It helped him relax.这有助于他放松,It also helped the audience relax.也帮助听众放松。
Don't forget to say thanks.不要忘了致谢。
Say your thanks in the manner,or with the tone, 致谢时的态度或语气
of someone who's been invited to a party 要像一个被邀请参加舞 会的人,and just walked in the door to shake the host's hand.而且是刚刚进门走上前 去和主人握手的那种样 子。Offer a compliment or a warm word.说几句热情的恭维话。That's all that's needed.这样就行了。

You can do it if you try!Don't let the number one fear 只要你去尝试就会成功!不要让美国人的头号 恐惧 of Americans be your number one fear!变成你的头号恐惧!The following speech is a perfect example 下面的演讲是一个很好 的例子,of all the right things to do in a speech!它将告诉你在演讲过程 中你应该做的所有事情。It has a strong and classic beginning.开头很经典。开门见山 说明目的,It states its purpose right away and it is well organized.而且文字组织得很好。
