施瓦辛格关于气候变化的演讲

Well, thank you very much for the wonderful introduction.Thank you, Secretary General, Mr.President, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen:

I have come to feel great affection for the peoples of the world because they've always been so

welcoming to me—if it is as a bodybuilding champion, or as a movie star, private citizen, or as the

governor of the great state of California.And you, their delegates, have also made me feel very

welcome here this morning.So I want to thank you for this great honor for having me here.www.xiexiebang.com

I also want to thank my wife and my partner and the First Lady of California, Maria Shriver, for

being here today with me.Give her a big hand—right over there she is.Now, I've been asked—I've been asked to talk to you today about what is happening in California.What are we doing about climate change? Well, ladies and gentlemen, something remarkable is

beginning to stir—something revolutionary, something historic and transformative.Let me give you some background.California already leads the nation in information technology.We lead the nation in nanotechnology，in biotechnology, and in medical technology.We generate one of every four U.S.patents, and we

attract almost half of all U.S.venture capital.And according to The Economist magazine, California

is also home to three of the top six universities in the world.And in addition to all of this, California

is the seventh largest economy in the world.Now I do not mention these things to just simply boast or brag.I'm mentioning it because

California is a very powerful state, a very powerful place.And when do something, it has

consequences.And here is what we are doing.California is mobilizing—technologically, financially, and politically—to fight global climate

change.Now we're not doing this alone.While California is leading in the U.S., we are building on

the work of the European countries who have led the way up until now and have done extraordinary

work.England has already met its Kyoto goals.Germany has pioneered solar.The EU has led with

its trading system.And the list goes on and on.But California, because of its unique position, is on the cutting edge of what is to come.And what

is coming will benefit the countries and peoples represented in this chamber.Last year in California，we enacted greenhouse gas emission standards that were beyond anyone else's dreams.We enacted

the world’s first low carbon fuel standards.Now do I believe that California’s standards will solve global warming? Of course not.What we’re

doing is changing the dynamic, preparing the way and encouraging the future.The aerospace

industry built the modern economy of Southern California.The computer industry and the internet

built the economy of the Silicon Valley.And now green, clean technology—along with

biotech—will take California to the next level.Right now, in California, the brightest scientists from around the world and the smartest venture

capitalists are racing to find new energy technologies and the solution to global warming.It is a

race that is fueled by billions and billions of dollars.Last year alone, California received more than

1.1 billion dollars in clean tech investment.And this amount is expected to grow by 20 to 30%

annually for the next ten years.More venture capital is being invested in clean tech than in

telecommunications.Now I have been to those labs and research parks.I have talked with the

scientists and to the venture capitalists.I have seen their ambition.And let me tell you, I would not

www.xiexiebang.com bet against it.So what does all this mean for the nations in this chamber? Well the cell phone, which started as a

tool for the rich, is now widespread in the developing world.The price has dropped dramatically，and therefore it can be afforded by almost everyone.And the same thing will happen with

environmental technologies.And it is in the developed world's best interests to help the poor

nations finance these advancements.When it comes to the environment, the technologies are changing; the economics are changing; and

the urgency's changing.So the question today is this: Are the nations of the world ready are to

change? I believe that California will do great things, amazing things, but we need the world to do great things, too.The time has come to stop looking back at the Kyoto protocol.The time has come to stop looking

back in blame or suspicion.The consequences of global climate change are so pressing—that it

doesn’t matter who was responsible for the past.What matters is who is answerable for the future.And that means all of us.The rich nations and the poor nations have different responsibilities, but one responsibility we all

have—and that is action.Action, action, action.The current stalemate between the developed and

the developing worlds must be broken.It is time to come together in a new international agreement

that can be embraced by rich and poor nations alike.California is moving the United States beyond

debate and doubt to action.So I urge this body to push its members to action also.Ladies and gentlemen, in closing, let me just say this: Do not lose hope.I do not believe that doom

and gloom and disaster are the only outcomes.Humanity is smart, and nature is amazingly regenerative.I believe that we can renew the climate of this planet.I believe this 100 percent.So I

pledge to you, the members of the United Nations, that we in California will work with all our heart to this end for which we all long.Thank you very much.Thank you.

Now let me tell you that if someone told me that something is impossible,I will go out and do it,this is just the way I always was.I was told to my face that you are nothing but a giant muscle.You can’t act,you have no future,and you have an accent that’s laughable.Ignore the naysayers and work like hell,trust yourself,break some rules,don’t be afraid to fail.I have made some fortune in several careers,and I have been very successful in several careers,by believing in myself.Let me tell you,you are going to find that naysayers are in every turn that you make.Don’t listen,just visualize your goal,know where exactly where you want to go,trust yourself,get out there and work like hell.And break some of the rules and never ever be afraid of failure.I couldn’t have gone through one lifting event in my life if I had been afraid of failure,because of course there’s always a chance that you can fail.When you lift the weight I tried ten times to lift bench press 500 pounds and I failed,but the eleventh time I did it.So never give up and never be afraid of failure,because otherwise you box yourself and you limit yourself.You all should go and be hungry for success,you should be hungry to make your mark and you should hungry to be seen and be heard and to have effect out there.You have to think outside the box,that’s what I believe after all,what is the point of being on this earth if all you want to do is be liked by anyone and to avoid trouble?The only way that I ever got any place was breaking some of the rules.When you’re out there,parting,horsing around,someone out there at the same time is working hard.Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning,just remember that.Now if you want to coast through your life,don’t pay any attention to any of those rules.But if you want to win,there is absolutely no way around hard,hard work.You have to think outside the box,that’s what I believe after all.What is the point of being on this earth,if all you want to do is be liked by everyone and to avoid trouble?The only way that I ever got any place was by breaking some of the rules.Don’t be afraid of fail,anything I have ever attempted,I was always willing to fail.You can’t always win but don’t be afraid to make decisions.You can’t be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself.You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision,and you know that it is the right thing to do.And success will come.So don’t be afraid of fail.Don’t listen to the naysayers.I mean,how many times have you heard that you can’t do this and you can’t do that and it’s never been done before.I heard this all over the time.I love it when someone says no one has done this before,because when I do it that means I am the first one that has done it.So pay no attention to the people that say it can’t be done.Just remember,you can;t climb the ladder of success with your hands in the pockets.

第三篇：施瓦辛格在清华大学的演讲范文

施瓦辛格在清华大学的演讲

Well, thank you very much, President.First of all, I want to thank President Gu for having me here, and I want to thank Mr.Qizhi for your kind introduction.Thank you very much.It is wonderful to be here at this university.What a special place.I just looked around a little bit here, it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous place.I want to congratulate you for going to this magnificent university here.Now, the last time I was here in China was five years ago, and then I was promoting my movies.They had a movie festival here, the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Festival.I remember they showed all my movies for a week—which was a rarity, may I remind you—and they also showed the movies on television.But we also were here to promote Special Olympics, which is an organization that helps people with mental disabilities, so I was here for both reasons.But this time I’m here as the governor of the great state of California.I’m here representing the people of California, and we’re here on a trade mission to see how we can do more business with China and to help each other, because both California is a very fast growing state, and China is a very fast growing country, and there are a lot of things that we can do for one another.But I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to come here today and to talk with the young people;as a matter of fact, to the brightest young people of China.And this is why it is so great to be here at the Tsinghua University, and I’m honored that I was invited here.Now, I read a little bit about the history of Tsinghua, and I learned that actually this school originally prepared students to attend universities in America.Now, I also know that since the attack on our World Trade Centers it has become more and more difficult to go to the universities in America because you need to fill out all kinds of paperwork now and you have to get visas, and it’s very complicated, and you have to wait a much longer period of time to go over there.But let me tell you, things are improving already.I’ve heard that it’s easing up, the restrictions, and it’s easier to get a visa.My young Chinese friends, I want to tell you that in case no one from America has ever invited you, let me do this right now personally.I want to warmly invite all of you here to come to the United States, and especially to come to California, because that’s the happening place.California is the best place.Please come and visit us, we will welcome you.I invite you all to come there and to travel, to meet the American people, and to come there and study in our universities, and some day hopefully you will come and do business over there, or maybe you’ll want to move over there.Whatever your goal is, you’re always welcome.America, after all, let’s not forget, is the land of opportunity.And it’s not only the land of opportunity for Austrians like me, but for Chinese people as well.Remember that.I know that beginning with this century, China is also becoming a land of opportunity.It’s a fast growing place, and as the students of this great university and the citizens of a rising China, I think that you have a great future also here in this country.And today I want to talk to you a little bit about the dreams, about the dreams of your future, and dreams for this country.I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, because it seems to me that I’m somewhat of an expert in dreams, because I had a lot of my dreams become a reality.So let me just briefly tell you my story, and tell you a little bit about how I started with my career.I think that this story kind of relates a little bit also to you, and also to China.I started way back as a weightlifter.I always liked the idea of lifting weights and being a bodybuilder.From the first moment when I gripped a barbell and held it around the bar and lifted the steel up over my head, I felt this exhilaration, and I knew then that this is something that I’m going to do;that I was in love with that, and this is going to be something that I’m going to do.I’m going to pursue the sport of weightlifting and bodybuilding.Now, I remember the first real workout that I had.Eight miles away from my home village in Austria there was a gymnasium, and I rode to that gymnasium with a bicycle.And there I trained for half an hour, because they said that after half an hour you should stop because otherwise your body will get really sore.But after half an hour I looked at my body, and nothing had happened.So I said, “I’d better work out for another half hour.” So I lifted some more.My strength didn’t improve, I didn’t see the muscles pop out or anything like that, so I trained for another half an hour.And then after another half hour I trained another half hour, and all together I trained two and a half hours.Well, let me tell you something.After two and a half hours—even though they told me that I shouldn’t train that much or I would get really sore—I left the gymnasium, I rode my bicycle home.And after the first mile I got numb, and I couldn’t feel anymore the handle of the bicycle, and I fell off the bike and I fell into the ditch on the side of the road.So I got up again and I tried it again.Another few yards, I fell off the bicycle again.And I tried it three, four more times, and I just couldn’t ride my bicycle because my body was so numb and my legs felt like noodles.Well, let me tell you something.The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn’t even lift my arms to comb my hair.I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is.But you know something? I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress.Pain is progress.Each time my muscles were sore from a workout I knew that they were growing and they were getting stronger.I think there is a real life lesson in that.After two or three years of discipline and determination and working out hard, I actually changed my body, and I changed my strength.And that told me something;that if I could change my body that much, and if I could change the strength of my body that much, then I could also change anything else.I could change my habits, I could change my intelligence, I could change my attitude, my mind, my future, my life.And this is exactly what I have done.I think that that lesson applies to people, and it also applies to countries.You can change, China can change, everyone in the world can change.My parents, of course, I have to tell you, didn’t understand my dreams at all.They were always wondering, they said, “What is he doing? When are you going to get a job, a real job? When are you going to make money?” And all of those questions I got.And they said, “I hope we didn’t raise a bum, someone that doesn’t make money and just wants to live in a gymnasium and think about their bodies.” Well, I endured all of this negative thinking, and the more negative the thinking got, and the more negative the questions got, the stronger and the more positive I became, the stronger I became inside.So of course some of your families maybe think the same way, and this is why I’m mentioning that.Some of your families maybe don’t believe in your dreams.But let me tell you something, my young friends.Keep your dreams.No matter what, keep your dreams.Don’t give up on them, even when you are temporarily defeated or denied.Keep your dreams.I remember the first time I went to the United States and I was competing in a competition, the World Championships in Bodybuilding.I lost.I came in second, and I was devastated.I was crushed.I felt like a loser, a major loser, let me tell you.I cried, as a matter of fact, because I felt like I disappointed my friends and I disappointed myself.But the next day I got my act together, I shifted gears, and I said, “I’m going to learn from that lesson.I’m going to stay here in America.I’m not going to go back to Europe.I’m going to stay in America and I’m going to train with the American champions, I’m going to train the American way.I’m going to eat the American food, I’m going to train with the American machines and the principles.And a year later, in America, I became the World Champion in Bodybuilding.So I think this is a very, very important lesson.And from then on, I continued.My career took off, and everything that I wanted to do I accomplished.First it was to become a champion in bodybuilding.Later on I became a movie star, to do all the great movies, the Conan movies and the Terminator movies and all this.Then I became the governor of the great state of California, of the sixth largest economy in the world.All of this happened because of my dreams, even though other people told me that those dreams were bogus and they were crazy, but I held onto my dreams.And people would always say, no matter what, even in bodybuilding they said I would never make it.And later on in the movies, in Hollywood they said I would not make it.They said, ”You will never make it.You have a German accent.No one in Hollywood has ever made it with a German accent.Yeah, maybe you can play some Nazi roles or something like that, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent.Plus your body, you’re overdeveloped, you have all these muscles.They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, that’s outdated.Now it’s Woody Allen.Woody Allen is in, his body is in.“ And those were the messages.”And Al Pacino, the skinny guy, he is in.But not your body, it’s too big.And your name, Schwarzenegger, it will never fit on a movie poster.Forget it.Forget it, you will never make it.Go back to bodybuilding.“ Well, the rest is history.After Terminator 3, I became the highest paid movie star in Hollywood.And let me tell you something, it continued on.Even when I ran for governor people said, ”Arnold, you will never make it.You will never become governor of California.What do you know about government?“ Well, the fact is, I knew exactly as much about government as the rest of the people knew in California, which is that government is out of touch, and it’s out of sync with the people, and it needed a shakeup.So I didn’t listen to all those people that said I would never make it.I continued campaigning, I listened to my dreams, and the rest also is history.I became governor.So always it just carried me on, those dreams.So bodybuilding gave me the confidence, movies gave me the money, and pubic service and being a governor gave me a purpose larger than myself.And that is the brief story of my dreams and a brief story of my early life, and how my dreams made me successful.A person, of course, should not be stingy with their dreams.So I, of course, don’t just think and dream about myself, but I also have dreams for you, and dreams for China.So let me just talk a little bit about that.China’s economy has become an engine of human progress, lifting millions of people out of poverty.This is a moral and economic good for China and for the rest of the world.I often read that China’s economy is likely to become the largest in the world over the next 50 years, and I think this is terrific.This does not mean, of course, that America will get poorer;it just means that China will get richer, and the United States will benefit from China’s progress as much as the U.S.benefited from the rise of Western Europe after World War II.Some in my country fear that China’s research and development will overtake America’s, but I believe that America and the world will benefit from China’s scientific and technological advances.I think we will benefit from that.If China makes advances in stem cell research, the rest of the world will benefit from that.If China discovers an energy breakthrough, this is good for the rest of the world, such as the benefit of a free market.Some fear that China will buy up American companies, but that fear also existed in the ‘80s, when America feared that Japan was going to buy up American companies.So what? It was just good, and to the benefit of America.We should welcome China’s investment in American companies, just as we welcome the billions of dollars that China has invested in U.S.treasury bonds.This shows that China has faith in America, and American investment in China shows that we have faith in you.So I believe that China and U.S.economic relations will become even closer in the years ahead.Certainly I realize that we do not agree on everything, but who does? Certainly I realize that China has major hurdles to overcome, but it is not for me to say how China should overcome those hurdles and achieve its dreams.But I can tell you, however, what has given America such energy and strength over the last 200 years, and perhaps there are some insights in this for China.America is a nation that believes in the power of the individual, and what the individual can accomplish, no matter the color, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background of the individual.Recently, as you probably have read, Rosa Parks, a former seamstress married to a barber, married to a hairdresser, died, and she lay in honor in the Rotunda of the U.S.Capitol in Washington.People from around America came to say farewell to her and to thank her for changing our history and for changing our society.Now, what did this 92 year-old black woman do that deserved such great honor? What did she do? Well, in 1955, the days of racial segregation, she had refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man.She had refused.Her simple refusal to move to the back of the bus put into motion events that led to my country’s great civil rights movement.The small protest of a woman that maybe weighed less than 100 lbs.brought down a racist system.As you can see, the individual can make a difference.Let me tell you about another individual, Ken Behring, a millionaire California businessman who found his passion in giving wheelchairs to poor and physically disabled people all around the globe, including China.He says that he has met people who have spent years in rooms with no window, just lying there and staring up at the ceiling, never seeing the outside world unless someone was willing to pick up that person and take them outside to show them the world.He says that it’s no wonder so many of those physically disabled people dream about being a bird.Mr.Behring says that most of us think that a wheelchair would be a confinement, but to millions of people it is not a confinement, it is freedom, freedom to move and to go to school, freedom to vote, freedom to get a job, and freedom for hope for the future.He has given freedom and wheelchairs to 400,000 people around the world.The individual can make a difference.My mother-in-law, Eunice Kennedy Shriver—I always like to mention her, because it gets me on the good side of her—she, for instance, started an organization called Special Olympics.She stared Special Olympics which is for people with mental disabilities.And of course when she started that organization she was told by the experts, ”Don’t do it.You cannot take people with mental disabilities out of mental institutions and have them participate in sports events.They will drown in the swimming pools.They will kill each other out there, they will hurt each other.Don’t do it.“ But Eunice Kennedy Shriver had a dream and a passion, and today millions of people compete in Special Olympics around the world, including right here in China.This is why I was here five years ago.Five years ago you had 50,000 participants in the Special Olympics.Today, five years later, you have 500,000 participants in Special Olympics.500,000 people are getting a chance to participate in sports programs, getting a chance to have health care, have a chance to be treated equally, with respect and with tolerance.So Eunice Kennedy Shriver exemplifies that the individual can make a difference.And I think what I’m trying to say to you is that each and every one of you can make a difference.So as you study and as you become smarter, and as you become richer, think about that, that there are millions of people that need your help.Now, you maybe ask yourself the question, what can I do? Well, let me tell you.Even though you maybe have no money or anything, you can go out and help a child that has not yet learned yet how to read.You maybe can go out and help a person that is physically handicapped, to lift them up and to take them outside so they can see the world.There are so many different things that you can do.You maybe can take a person that is mentally disabled, to take them to a soccer game.There are all kinds of things that the individual can do to reach out and to help.Imagine what could be accomplished if the dreams of China’s 1.3 billion individuals could be unleashed.Imagine what could happen.Each of you here has the power of the individual within you, you have the power of your dreams within you, and these are tremendous powers.You’re young, you’re educated, and you are the very best China has to offer.My young Chinese friends, I believe in your dreams.I believe that you can achieve them, and I believe you can make a difference, a big difference.All you have to do is just make the commitment.All you have to do is create the action and commit, and say, ”Let’s do it." Go out and do it.I’m asking you.Do it for yourself, do it for China, and do it for the good of the world.Thank you very much for listening.Thank you.

第四篇：施瓦辛格在共和党全国代表大会的演讲

施瓦辛格在共和党全国代表大会的演讲

Arnold Schwarzenegger: 2004 Republican National Convention Address 施瓦辛格在共和党全国代表大会的演讲

August 2004, Madison Square Garden, New York

8月31日，美国共和党明星州长施瓦辛格在纽约麦迪逊花园广场登上了共和党全国代表大会的演讲台，为共和党“美化布什”运动出力。他回忆了自己在惨遭原苏联蹂躏的奥地利度过的童年，赞扬了布什的反恐战争。施瓦辛格在奥地利出生，在银幕上以扮演“硬汉”出名，“终结者”形象尤其深入人心。他目前是加利福尼亚州州长。在通篇演讲中，施瓦辛格没有提到民主党总统候选人克里的名字，他与克里向来关系不错。演讲夹杂着一些笑话，而没有发动党派性质的攻击。

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Thank you very much.Thank you.What a greeting.What a greeting.Wow!This--This is like winning an Oscar.As if I would know!Speaking of acting, one of my movies was called “True Lies.” And that's what the Democrats should have called their convention.You know, on the way up here to the podium, a gentlemen came up to me and said, “Governor, you are as good a politician as you were an actor.” What a cheap shot.Cannot believe it.Anyway, my fellow Americans, this is an amazing moment for me.To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of the State of California and then stand here--and stand here in Madison Square Garden and speak on behalf of the President of the United States.That is an immigrant's dream!It's the American dream.You know, I was born in Europe and I've traveled all over the world, and I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.As long as I live--As long as I live, I will never forget the day 21 years ago when I raised my right hand and I took the oath of citizenship.You know how proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with the American flag around my shoulder all day long.Tonight, I want to talk to you about why I'm even more proud to be an American--why I am proud to be a Republican, and why I believe that this country is in good hands.When I was a boy, the Soviets occupied part of Austria.I saw their tanks in the streets.I saw communism with my own eyes.I remember the fear we had when we had to cross into the Soviet sector.Growing up, we were told, “Don't look the soldiers in the eye.Just look straight ahead.” It was common belief that the Soviet soldiers could take a man out of his own car and ship him back to the Soviet Union as slave labor.Now my family didn't have a car--but one day we were in my uncle's car.It was near dark as we came to the Soviet checkpoint.I was a little boy.I was not an action hero back then.But I remember--I remember how scared I was that the soldiers would pull my father or my uncle out of the car and I would never see them again.My family and so many others lived in fear of the Soviet boot.Today, the world no longer fears the Soviet Union and it is because of the United States of America!As a kid--As a kid I saw socialist--the socialist country that Austria became after the Soviets left.Now don't misunderstand me: I love Austria and I love the Austrian people.But I always knew that America was the place for me.In school, when the teacher would talk about America, I would daydream about coming here.I would daydream about living here.I would sit there and watch for hours American movies, transfixed by my heroes, like John Wayne.Everything about America--Everything about America seemed so big to me, so open, so possible.I finally arrived here in 1968.What a special day it was.I remember I arrived here with empty pockets, but full of dreams, full of determination, full of desire.The presidential campaign was in full swing.I remember watching the Nixon and Humphrey presidential race on TV.A friend of mine who spoke German and English translated for me.I heard Humphrey saying things that sounded like socialism, which I had just left.But then I heard Nixon speak.Then I heard Nixon speak.He was talking about free enterprise, getting the government off your back, lowering the taxes and strengthening the military.Listening to Nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air.I said to my friend, I said, “What party is he?” My friend said, “He's a Republican.” I said, “Then I am a Republican.” And I have been a Republican ever since!And trust me--And trust me in my wife's family, that's no small achievement.But I am proud to be with the Party of Abraham Lincoln, the Party of Teddy Roosevelt, the Party of Ronald Reagan and the Party of George W.Bush!

To my fellow immigrants listening tonight, I want you to know how welcome you are in this party.We Republicans admire your ambition.We encourage your dreams.We believe in you[r] future.And one thing I learned about America is that if you work hard and if you play by the rules, this country is truly open to you.You can achieve anything.Everything I have--my career, my success, my family--I owe to America.In this country, it doesn't make any difference where you were born.It doesn't make any difference who your parents were.It doesn't make any difference if you're like me and you couldn't even speak English until you were in your twenties.America gave me opportunities and my immigrant dreams came true.I want other people to get the same chances I did, the same opportunities.And I believe they can.That's why I believe in this country.That's why I believe in this Party, and that's why I believe in this President.Now, many of you out there tonight are “Republican” like me--in your hearts and in your belief.Maybe you're from Guatemala.Maybe you're from the Philippines.Maybe you're from Europe or the Ivory Coast.Maybe you live in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New Mexico.And maybe--And maybe, just maybe, you don't agree with this Party on every single issue.I say to you tonight that I believe that's not only okay, but that's what's great about this country.Here--Here we can respectfully disagree and still be patriotic, still be American, and still be good Republicans.My fellow immigrants, my fellow Americans, how do you know if you are a Republican? Well, I['ll] tell you how.If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government, then you are a Republican.If you believe that a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group, then you are a Republican.If you believe that your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does, then you are a Republican.If you believe that our educational system should be held accountable for the progress of our children, then you are a Republican.If you believe--If you believe that this country, not the United Nations, is best hope for democracy, then you are a Republican.And ladies and gentlemen--And ladies and gentlemen, if you believe that we must be fierce and relentless and terminate terrorism, then you are a Republican!Now there's another way you can tell you're [a] Republican.You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people, and faith in the U.S.economy.And to those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: “Don't be economic girlie men!” The U.S.--The U.S.economy remains the envy of the world.We have the highest economic growth of any of the world's major industrialized nations.Don't you remember the pessimism of 20 years ago when the critics said that Japan and Germany are overtaking the U.S.? Ridiculous!Now they say that India and 中国 are overtaking us.Now don't you believe it.We may hit a few bumps--but America always moves ahead.That's what Americans do.We move prosperity ahead--We move prosperity ahead.We move freedom ahead.And we move people ahead.And under President Bush and Vice President Cheney, America's economy is moving ahead in spite of the recession they inherited and in spite of the attack on our homeland.Now--Now the other Party says that we are two Americas.Don't you believe that either.I have visited our troops in Iraq, Kuwait, Bosnia, Germany and all over the world.I've visited our troops in California, where they train before they go overseas.I have visited our military hospitals.And I tell you this: that our men and women in uniform do not believe there are two Americas.They believe there's one America and they are fighting for it!We are one America--We are one America and President Bush is defending it with all his heart and soul.That's what I admire most about the President: He is a man of perseverance.He's a man of inner strength.He's a leader who doesn't flinch, who doesn't waiver, and does not back down.My fellow Americans--My fellow Americans, make no mistake about it: Terrorism is more insidious than communism, because it yearns to destroy not just the individual, but the entire international order.The President did not go into Iraq because the polls told him it was popular.As a matter of fact, the polls said just the opposite.But leadership isn't about polls.It's about ma--It's about making decisions you think are right and then standing behind those decisions.That's why America is safer with George W.Bush as President.He knows--He knows you don't reason with terrorists.You defeat them.He knows you can't reason with people blinded by hate.You see, they hate the power of the individual.They hate the progress of women.They hate the religious freedom of others.And they hate the liberating breeze of democracy.But ladies and gentlemen, their hate is no match for America's decency.We are--We are the America that sends out the Peace Corps volunteers to teach our village children.We are the America that sends out the missionaries and doctors to raise up the poor and the sick.We are the America that gives more than any other country to fight AIDS in Africa and the developing world.And we are--And we are the America that fights not for imperialism but for human rights and democracy.You know, when the Germans brought down the Berlin Wall, America's determination helped wield the sledgehammers.And when the lone, young Chinese man stood in front of those tanks in Tiananmen Square, America stood with him.And when Nelson Mandela smiled in election victory after all those years in prison, America celebrated, too.We are still the lamp lighting the world, especially [for] those who struggle.No matter in what labor camp they slave, no matter in what injustice they're trapped, they hear our call;they see our light;and they feel the pull of our freedom.They come here as I did because they believe.They believe in us.They come because their hearts say to them, as mine did, “If only I can get to America.” You know, someone once wrote: “There are those who say that freedom is nothing but a dream.” They are right.It's the American dream.No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.And as Governor--as Governor of the great state of California, I see the best in Americans every day--I see the best in Americans everyday--our police, our firefighters, our nurses, doctors, and teachers, our parents.And what about the extraordinary men and women who have volunteered to fight for the United States of America.I have such great respect for them and their heroic families.Let me tell you about a sacrifice and the commitment that I have seen firsthand.In one of the military hospitals I visited, I met a young guy who was in bad shape.He'd lost a leg;he had a hole through his stomach, and his shoulder had been shot through, and the list goes on and on and on.I could tell that there was no way he could ever return to combat.But when I asked him, “When do you think you'll get out of the hospital?” He said to me, “Sir, in three weeks.” And you know what he said to me then? He said he was going to get a new leg, and then he was going to get some therapy, and then he was going to go back to Iraq and fight alongside his buddies.And you know what he said to me then? You know what he said to me then? He said, “Arnold, I'll be back!” Well, ladies and gentlemen--ladies and gentlemen, America is back.Back from the attack on our homeland, back from the attack on our economy, and back from the attack on our way of life.We are back because of the perseverance, character, and leadership of the 43rd President of the United States, George W.Bush!My fellow Americans, I want you to know that I believe with all my heart that America remains “the great idea” that inspires the world.It is a privilege to be born here.It is an honor to become a citizen here.It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here and to live here.Our President, George W.Bush, has worked hard to protect and preserve the American dream for all of us.And that's why I say, send him back to Washington for four more years!Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!For more years!Thank you, America.Thank you and God bless you all.Thank you.Thank you.

Tackle Climate Change Actively and Promote Sustainable Development--Speech at the EastWest Institute Seminar by H.E.Ambassador Song Zhe, Head of the Mission of the P.R.China to the EU

February 2010

Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very pleased to be at this meeting and exchange views with you.I would like to take this opportunity to make three points: first, the Copenhagen Conference was a new starting point to tackle climate change;Secondly, the international community should give adequate attention to the issue of adaptation;Thirdly, China and the EU should strengthen dialogue and cooperation on climate change.We still have fresh memories of the Copenhagen Conference which was held two months ago.Although the meeting experienced twists and turns, but thanks to the joint efforts of all parties, it ultimately obtained two important results.First, by adhering to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol and the Bali road map, the conference identified clearly the direction for the negotiations in the next step;Secondly, the conference issued the Copenhagen Accord, marking new progress in terms of binding reduction by developed countries and voluntary action by developing countries.It also reached certain consensus on issues such as long-term goals, funding, technology and transparency, which laid the foundation for further strengthening international cooperation on climate change and gave political impetus to future negotiations.It is fair to say that the Copenhagen conference was a success.It produced the best result that can be achieved at this stage, which should be cherished.On tackling climate change, the road is long and tortuous.The Copenhagen Conference is not the end, but a new beginning.In recent weeks, there are nearly one hundred countries which notified the Secretariat of the Copenhagen Accord their respective emission reduction or mitigation targets.A series of important international conferences will be held in Bonn and Mexico this year.As a responsible member of the international community, China will continue to play an active and constructive role, earnestly fulfill its commitment, strengthen international cooperation, and with the Copenhagen Accord as the basis, work together with other parties for an early conclusion of the “Bali road map”, so as to promote continuous progress of the international cooperation on climate change.Recently, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao sent letters to Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and stated that China supports the Copenhagen Accord.Premier Wen reiterates that China will strive to achieve national voluntary reduction targets, that is, by 2020, carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will drop by 40% to 45% than 2005, non-fossil energy will account for about 15% of primary energy consumption, forest area will increase by 40 million hectares over 2005 and forest carbon sink by 1.3 billion cubic meters.This is a voluntary action China takes according to its own national conditions and stage of development, it is not attached to any conditions, or links to other country's emission reduction targets.It reflects the maximum efforts that the Chinese government can make.Here, I would like to highlight that China is still a developing country.It is in the critical stage of rapid development of industrialization and urbanization.We are facing an arduous task of economic development and improving people's livelihood.China's per capita GDP ranks after the world's first 100.By the UN standard, 150 million Chinese remain in poverty.Every year jobs for 12 million people need to be created, even more than the entire population of Belgium.In addition, China's coal-dominated energy mix poses special difficulties to emission reduction.Even so, the Chinese Government has always taken a responsible attitude towards the nation and mankind, and takes climate change as an important strategic task.To use a metaphor, we want mountains of gold and silver, but first of all we want mountains of trees.China will not repeat the model of “pollution first, treatment later” as it was in the history of the developed countries.China will set its own mitigation targets as compulsory targets of the national economic and social development plan and make efforts to meet our committed targets and do even more.We will unswervingly pursue sustainable development and honor our commitment by taking concrete actions.Ladies and gentlemen，Mitigation and adaptation are two integral aspects in tackling climate change.Mitigation is a relatively longer-term and challenging task, whereas adaptation is more immediate and urgent.The core of adaptation is funding.The UNFCCC explicitly stipulates the obligation on the part of developed countries to provide funding and technology to developing countries.At present, the international community has established a number of multilateral financing mechanisms, including the Least Developed Countries Fund.But frankly speaking, the international community's emphasis on adaptation is far from enough.The funds that are available and can really be put in place by the existing mechanisms are very limited, and falling far short of the actual needs and expectations from the developing countries.The international community should give more attention to adaptation.It's been wrong that we put so much emphasis on mitigation but so little on adaptation.The developed countries, in particular, should shoulder the responsibility, and in accordance with the Convention, deliver their promises to developing countries on financial and technology support.The Copenhagen Conference, having reached a preliminary consensus on the issue of funding, represented a step in the right direction.However, the Accord does not clearly specify the sources of funding in the short term or how they are going to be implemented.Neither does it stipulate the exact amount of long-term funding commitment of the countries concerned.There leaves much uncertainty.We hope that the developed countries will demonstrate political sincerity and take concrete action to fulfill its obligations, rather than evading or shifting to others their responsibilities.Ladies and gentlemen，China-EU cooperation on climate change is already a long story.As early as in 2005, the two sides established partnership on climate change.At the 12th China-EU Summit last year, the two sides decided to upgrade such partnership and strengthen policy dialogue and practical cooperation in the field of climate change.Following the Copenhagen Conference, the two sides plan to add an extra round of consultations on climate change which will take place in the near future.The EU possess advanced concepts and technologies in the field of energy saving and environmental protection.China has a vast market demand.The two sides should further tap the potentials for cooperation on energy and climate change, especially in the following areas:

First, energy conservation and energy efficiency.China's energy utilization efficiency is far lower than the EU and other developed countries, and China needs to further reduce carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP.The second area is renewable energy.By cooperation under the Clean Development Mechanism, the EU could help China to promote renewable energy development, improve energy structure, and strengthen social environmental awareness.The third area is clean energy.For quite a long time in the future, China's energy production and consumption will continue to be dominated by coal, which present us a vast platform for technical cooperation.Ladies and Gentlemen:

The EU is the world's biggest economy, and China is the world's biggest developing country.To strengthen practical cooperation between China and the EU on climate change, and sustainable development not only serves the fundamental interests of both sides, but is also conducive to world prosperity and development.We are willing to cooperate with all communities in the EU and make unremitting efforts to cope with climate change and achieve sustainable development.Thank you!
