第一篇:铁血泪——丘吉尔演讲词中英对照
铁血泪——丘吉尔演讲词中英对照.txt10有了执著,生命旅程上的寂寞可以铺成一片蓝天;有了执著,孤单可以演绎成一排鸿雁;有了执著,欢乐可以绽放成满圆的鲜花。铁血泪 BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS“(温斯顿 丘吉尔的演讲)Winston Churchill(May 13, 1940)On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.I have already completed the most important part of this task.A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events.Other key positions were filled yesterday.I am submitting a further list to the King tonight.I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer.I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today.At the end of today's proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be.Business for that will be notified to M.P.'s at the earliest opportunity.I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government.The resolution: ”That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.“ To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself.But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history.We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean.The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or for mer colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air.War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.That is our policy.You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victory.Victory at all costs-victory in spite of all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.Let that be realized.No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, ”Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength." “热血、汗水和眼泪”
温斯顿?丘吉尔(1940年5月13日)
上星期五晚上,我奉陛下之命,组织新的一届政府。
按国会和国民的意愿,新政府显然应该考虑建立在尽可能广泛的基础上,应该兼容所有的党派。
我已经完成了这项任务的最主要的部分。战时内阁已由五人组成,包括工党、反对党和自由党,这体现了举国团结一致。
由于事态的极端紧急和严峻,新阁政府须于一天之内组成,其他的关键岗位也于昨日安排就绪。今晚还要向国王呈报一份名单。我希望明天就能完成几位主要大臣的任命。
其余大臣们的任命照例得晚一些。我相信,在国会下一次召开时,任命将告完成,臻于完善。
为公众利益着想,我建议议长今天就召开国会。今天的议程结束时,建议休会到5月21日,并准备在必要时提前开会。有关事项当会及早通知各位议员。
现在我请求国会作出决议,批准我所采取的各项步骤,启示记录在案,并且声明信任新政府。决议如下:
“本国会欢迎新政府的组成,她体现了举国一致的坚定不移的决心:对德作战,直到最后胜利。”
组织如此规模和如此复杂的政府原本是一项重大的任务。但是我们正处于历史上罕见的一场大战的初始阶段。我们在其他许多地点作战——在挪威,在荷兰,我们还必须在地中海做好准备。空战正在继续,而且在本土也必须做好许多准备工作。
值此危急关头,我想,即使我今天向国会的报告过于简略,也当能见谅。我还希望所有在这次改组中受到影响的朋友、同僚和旧日的同僚们对必要的礼仪方面的任何不周之处能毫不介意。
我向国会表明,一如我向入阁的大臣们所表明的,我所能奉献的唯有热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水我们所面临的将是一场极其严酷的考验,将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。
若问我们的政策是什么?我的回答是:在陆上、海上、空中作战。尽我们的全力,尽上帝赋予我们的全部力量去作战,对人类黑暗、可悲的罪恶史上空前凶残的暴政作战。这就是我们的政策。
若问我们的目标是什么?我可以用一个词来回答,那就是胜利。不惜一切代价,去夺取胜利——不惧一切恐怖,去夺取胜利——不论前路如何漫长、如何艰苦,去夺取胜利。因为没有胜利就不能生存。
我们务必认识到,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国,没有胜利就不复有大英帝国所象征的一切,没有胜利就不复有多少世纪以来的强烈要求和冲动:人类应当向自己的目标迈进。
我精神振奋、满怀信心地承担起我的任务。我确信,大家联合起来,我们的事业就不会遭到挫败。
在此时此刻的危急关头,我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持。我要说:“来吧,让我们群策群力,并肩前进!”

丘吉尔就职演说(中英对照)
演讲背景:
1940年5月8日,由于前首相张伯伦遭到不信任质疑动议,被迫辞职。5月10日下午6时,国王召见丘吉尔,令其组阁;一小时后丘吉尔会见工党领袖艾德礼,邀请工党加入内阁并获得支持。3天后丘吉尔首次以首相身份出席下议院会议,发表了著名的讲话:“我没有别的,只有热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水献给大家„„你们问:我们的目的是什么?我可以用一个词来答复:胜利,不惜一切代价去争取胜利,无论多么恐怖也要争取胜利,无论道路多么遥远艰难,也要争取胜利,因为没有胜利就无法生存。”下议院最终以381票对0票的绝对优势表明了对丘吉尔政府的支持。

3、Others have replied that the doctrine itself is in a grave threat to international peace and security since it might imply that any state has the right to use force whenever it sees fit, without regard to other states’ concerns.也有人认为,这项条款本身就对国际和平和安全构成了重大威胁。因为这项原则可能暗示,任何国家都有权在其认为合适的时候使用武力,而不必考虑其他国家的忧虑。
4、I urge you all and your contemporaries throughout China to commit yourselves to finding answers to our century’s great challenges of poverty, disease and environmental degradation.我鼓励在座的各位,以及全中国与你们同代的人,立志为我们这个世纪所面临的贫困、疾病和环境退化等巨大挑战积极寻求解决方案。

2、However, even though Latvia and China are vastly different in size, even though they are separated by a considerable geographical distance, and even though their shores are washed by different seas, our nations have experienced similar turns of fate in their history.然而,尽管拉脱维亚和中国在国土面积和人口数量上有如此大的悬殊,尽管我们在地理位置上相隔甚远,尽管我们毗邻不同的大洋,但是我们两个国家在历史上都经历了相似的曲折命运。
3、The People of China and of Latvia both share the wish to ensure world peace and stability, to combat terrorism and international crime, to reduce poverty and disease, and to prevent the further environmental degradation of our planet.中拉人民都有维护世界和平和稳定的共同愿望,都反对恐怖主义和国际犯罪,防止地球环境的进一步恶化。

2、AIDS is not over.AIDS, like climate change, is one fo the defining issues of our time.艾滋病这场战役仍未结束。就像气候变化一样,艾滋病是我们这个时代需要解决的问题之一。
3、In many cases community organizations are doing work that no other sector can do as well.For example, no one kowns better what support people living with HIV need, than other people living with HIV.很多时候,社区组织能做其他部门所不能胜任的工作。举个例子,没有人比同一个社区的居民更了解艾滋病病毒携带者需要怎样的帮助。
4、When prominent people lead by example---when they actively promote tolerance and reject stigma and discirmination---one of the biggest obstacles to winning the fight against aids disappears.当这些杰出的领导人积极倡导宽容时,当他们反对羞辱和歧视时,他们为我们树立了良好的典范,与艾滋病作斗争的最大障碍也就不攻自破了。
Speech 8 The Relationship between China and Britain ——英国前首相布莱尔2003年在清华大学的演讲
1、The thing that is amazing today is that the UK is now the number one destination for overseas students from China.We have got double the number of Chinese students as the United States of America.I like that.如今有一个令人惊奇的现象,英国已经成为中国学生海外留学的首选目的地,且在英国留学的中国留学生数量已经达到在美国留学生数量的两倍之多。对此,我很高兴。
2、So the thing that has impressed me most from benig back in Beijing is just the amount of change in China,and I think for the future the relationship between my country, the UK and China is going to be very important.此行再次来到中国,令我印象最我深刻的是中国这些年发生的翻天覆地的变化,并且我深信中国与我的祖国英国之间的友好关系在将来世界舞台上会越来越重要。
3、How you develop both economically and politically as a country is going to have a colossal impact on the whole of the world, and we need to make sure that countries like mine in Europe, countries like the United States, and countries like China are working together.贵国如何发展经济和政治,将会对整个世界产生巨大的影响力。所以我们也要努力促进世界各国,如位于欧洲的英国,北美的美国以及亚洲的中国紧密联系,互相合作。
4、You will be the leaders of this country in the years to come, and how you lead, and the values with which you lead, will make a difference even in my own country to the citizens there.或许,在不久的将来你们中的一些人将成为贵国的领导力量,所以你们领导国家的方式已经倡导的价值观都将改变这个国家,甚至改变万里之外我的祖国和人民。
第四篇:演讲词——我的高铁梦
我的高铁梦
尊敬的各位评委,亲爱的同学们:
大家好,今天我演讲的题目是《我的高铁梦在这里起飞》
鸟儿因为有了梦想,才能在蔚蓝的天空自由翱翔;鱼儿因为有了梦想,才能遨游在碧蓝深邃的大海。我的梦是高铁梦,为了实现这个梦,我来到了学校,因为这里是我的梦起飞的地方。
小时侯,第一次乘坐列车,筐档、筐档的声音就象一支优美的乐曲深深地吸引了我,伴随着我一路成长!
当我第一次在电视看到风驰电掣的高铁列车时,流线型‘子弹头’造型、宽敞舒适的坐席、高雅端庄的乘务员,让我魂牵梦绕,心驰神往!
我迫不急待地查阅关于高铁的相关资料,载客量高、输送能力大、速度快、安全性好、正点率高、舒适方便、能源消耗低、环境影响轻、经济效益好等无可比拟的优势,代表了铁路发展的前进方向,“五纵六横七连线”的规划勾勒出中国未来三十年高铁发展的美好蓝图,这是中国速度,更是中国奇迹!
能置身于这个充满速度、充满激情、充满希望、充满挑战的事业,必将成为我为之奋斗一生的梦想。
怀揣着梦想,怀揣着憧憬,怀揣着火一样的热情,怀揣
着对未来的美好期盼,我走近了学校。
或许,您没有像别的学校那样的高楼大厦,但在我的眼中,您是这样的精致,您是这样的安静,这就是与众不同的您!
或许,您没有像别的学校那么多的名牌学历,但在我的眼中,您有着对教育的无限忠诚,对学生慈母般的关爱,这就是脚踏实地的您!
或许,就像前世有缘一样,您注定要成为我新的母校,注定成为我梦想腾飞的地方。
我相信,在您的真心抚育下,我的青春将更加灿烂!我坚信,在您的精心呵护下,我的高铁梦将在这里起飞!我承诺,今天我以您为荣,明天您因我而荣!
谢谢大家!
第五篇:奥巴马2012记者年会晚宴演讲词中英对照
奥巴马总统2012白宫记者年会晚宴演讲中英对照稿
大选年,奥巴马为了博得选举天然不肯放过任何一个推销自己的机会。在此次的白宫记者协会接待晚宴的演说中,奥巴马锋利吐槽、大度自嘲,暗讽对手,用诙谐幽默给自己加分不少。
Host:Could someone back there please turnoff the Presidents mic? I think the Presidents mic is hot, please turn it off.Thank you.Thank you.后台哪位帮忙把总统的麦克风关一下?我感受总统的麦克风没有关,请帮忙关一下,谢谢,谢谢。
(首尔核峰会上奥巴马与梅德韦杰夫的私聊因为没关麦克风被暴光,之前的G20戛纳峰会中一样因为没关麦克风而暴光了他与萨科齐的私聊,两次事宜都在国内掀起轩然大波。)
Obama:Great.I gotta get warmed up.I...Imso in love...God!I totally had that.Seriously guys, what am Idoing here?
太棒了,我来个热身。我……我太爱你……(一月份演讲时他唱过Al Green这首歌)天哪!我真是擅长唱歌!说端庄的各位,我来这是干甚么的?
Im the President of the United States, and Im openning for Jimmy Kimmel? I have the nuclearcodes, why am I telling “knock knock” jokes to Kim Kardashian? Why is she famous anyway?
我可是美国总统啊,我竟然为吉米·凯莫(ABC电视台深夜脱口秀主持人)热场?我是手握核兵器的管辖(美国总统有一只广为撒布的“核按钮手提箱”,里面存放着启动美国核兵器的暗码),干吗要来这给卡戴珊讲“拍门”笑话?她到底为啥出名呢?
(卡戴珊最有名的标签是“帕丽斯·希尔顿的挚友”,她是罗伯特·卡戴珊的女儿,奥多姆的大姨子。卡戴珊因性爱视频而出名。)
Thats it.Next year we send Biden.Now youre right.Its way too risky.我受够了。明年让拜登替我来好了。你说得对,这么干太危险。(拜登可是口误帝)Wow, look at my hair.It really went gray.Do you think anybody would notice if I just went a little darker? Right now like a five on the “Just For Men” scale.I think I would go to 6 and nobody would notice.哇,看我的头发。一片灰白啊!你说我若是染黑一点会有人发现不?按照“Just For Men”(有名染发产品)的标准,我目前只剩5分黑了。我感受我若是染成6分黑也该当不会有人注意吧。
Is theworking? Are you kidding? What do you expect me to do out there? I literally have no idea what Im saying tonight.提词器准备好没?(自嘲演讲全靠提词器)开甚么玩笑?那我一会上场如何语言啊?我底子不知道今晚要说点甚么。
Man!I could really use a cigarette right now.唉,目前真想抽根烟!(自嘲之前是烟鬼)
Okay, okay, Im going.God forbid wekeep Chuck Todd and the cast of Glee waiting.好了好了,这就上场。谁敢让查克·陶德(美国国家播送公司政治中心主管)和Glee剧组久等啊!
Host:Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the President of the United States.女士们先生们,掌声有请美国总统!
Obama:Thank you!Good evening everybody.Good evening!I could not be more thrilled to be here tonight atthe White HouseDinner.That is great crowd.They are already laughing.Its terrific.谢谢!早晨好各位,早晨好!本日我怀着非常冲动的心情来列席白宫记者晚宴。这观众太好了,还没最早就笑成这样,太好了!
Chuck Todd--love you, brother.I’m delighted to see some of the cast members of Glee are here.And Jimmy Kimmel, it’s an honor, man.What’s so funny?
查克·陶德,哥们我爱你哦!我很兴奋见到Glee剧组也加入了。还有吉米·凯莫,真是荣幸啊!有啥好笑的?
My fellow Americans, we gather duringa historic.Last year atthis time--in fact, on this very weekend--we finally delivered justice to one of the world’s most individuals.亲爱的美国同胞们,我们欢聚在这具有历史意义的周年纪念日。去年的这个时间,现实上恰是在统一个周末,我们终于将世界上最臭名昭著的恶人处死。(“大恶人”Trump中枪,去年晚宴被凶猛吐槽)
Now, this year, we gather in the midst of a heated election season.And Axelrod tells me I should never miss a chance to re introduce myself to the American people.So tonight, this is how I’d like to begin: My name is Barack Obama.My mother was born in Kansas.My father was born in Kenya.And Iwas born, of course, in Hawaii.往年,在白热化的大选季我们再次聚会,Axelrod(奥巴马的照料)说我不该当错过任何从新向美国人平易近介绍自己的机会。所以今晚我打算就这样收场:我名叫贝拉克·奥巴马,我母亲出身在堪萨斯,我父亲出身在肯尼亚,而我出身在:当然是夏威夷。(用眨眼来自嘲对手质疑自己出生地证明事宜)
In 2009, I took office in the face of somechallenges.Now,some have said I blame too many problems on my predecessor, but let’s not forget that’s a practice that was initiated by George W.Bush.Since then, Congress and I have certainly had our differences;yet, I’ve tried to be civil, to not take any cheap shots.And that’s why I want to especially thank all the members who took a break from their exhausting schedule of not passing any laws to be here tonight.Let’s give them a big round of applause.2009年我就任总统时面对浩繁艰巨挑战。目前许多人说我把太多问题归咎于前任身上,但大家别忘了,这样的做法是小布什创始的。(这句自己就是推给前任)从那时起,国会跟我就矛盾不时,但我尽管连结风度,从不阴损吐槽。所以我本日要迥殊谢谢那些从无所事事的百忙傍边抽空加入的国会议员。(这就是cheap shot阴损吐槽啊)大家把热烈的掌声献给他们吧。
Despite many, much has changedduring my time in office.Four years ago, I was locked in a brutalprimary battle with Hillary Clinton.Four years later, she won’t stop drunk-texting me from Cartagena.尽管险阻重重,但自我上任以来,许多事都有所窜改,四年前,我跟希拉里在初选中斗
得你死我活;四年后,她一喝多就从Cartagena给我发短信(希拉里比来走红的短信照和喝酒照,Cartagena也是特工嫖妓门的发生地)。
Four years ago, I was a Washingtonoutsider.Four years later, I’m at this dinner.Four years ago, It looked like this.Today, I look like this.And four years from now,I will look like this.That’s not even funny.四年前,我是首都官场圈外人;四年后,我出目前白宫晚宴上。四年前,我长这样;四年后,我长这样;再过四年,我就会长成这样了(摩根·弗里曼)。一点也欠好笑。
Anyway, it’s great to be here this evening in the vast, magnificent Hilton ballroom--or what Mitt Romney would call a little fixer-upper.I mean, look at this party.We’ve got men in , women in gowns, fine wine, first-class entertainment.I was just relieved to learn this was not a GSA conference.Unbelievable.Not even the mind reader knew what they were thinking.总之,我很兴奋今晚来到这宏伟光辉的希尔顿舞厅,或者用罗姆尼的话来讲叫“日久失修的小破屋”(暗指罗姆尼是富二代)。我想说,瞧这派对,有衣着燕尾服的绅士,穿晚军服的淑女,醉人美酒和一流上演——据说这不是GSA大会我才宁神(联邦当局总务署公款吃喝事宜)。难以置信啊!连读心术都看不到他们脑子里的设法(指脑袋空空)。Of course, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is known as theof Washington D.C.--aterm coined by political reporters who clearly never had the chance to go to an actual prom.当然了,白宫记者晚宴又被成为“首都卒业舞会”。发现这个词的记者显然从没真正参加过真正的卒业舞会。
Our chaperone for the evening is Jimmy Kimmel--who is perfect for the job since most of tonight’saudience is in his key--people who fall asleep during Night line.Jimmy got his start years ago on TheMan Show.In Washington, that’s what we call a congressional hearing on contraception.我们今晚的“监护人”是吉米·凯莫(指卒业舞会的成年监护人),他是这个职位的不二人选,因为今晚观众都是他的方针人群:那些看Nightline(凯莫节目之前播出的晚新闻)睡着没关电视的人。吉米多年前在“男子秀”出道。在华盛顿,“男子秀”是关于女性避孕药品的国会听证(暗讽关于女性话题的听证会全是男子列席)。
And plenty of journalists are here tonight.Id be remiss if I didn’t congratulate the Huffington Poston their Pulitzer Prize.You deserve it, Arianna.Theres no oneelse out there linking to the kinds of hard-hitting journalism that HuffPo is linking to every single day.Give them a round ofapplause.And you don’t pay them--its a great business model.今晚浩繁媒体人加入,我必必要恭喜“赫芬顿邮报”得到普利策奖。Arianna(该报女掌门),你们当之无愧!没人能像你们一样每天“链接”到这么多的锋利新闻(指赫芬顿邮报的新闻都是盗用别家链接)。请把掌声献给他们。你们还不付原作者钱,这是种伟大的经营模式啊!
Even Sarah Palin is getting back intothe game, guest hosting on The Today Show--which reminds me of an old saying: Whats the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull is delicious.A little soy sauce.连佩林都重返舞台了,在“今日秀”做贵客主持。这使我想起一句老话:“冰球老妈和牛头犬有甚么不同”(这句的内在是说二者一样)。牛头犬的味道好极了。(自嘲6岁吃狗肉事宜)再加点酱油。
Now, I know at this point many of you are expecting me to go after my likely opponent, Newt Gingrich.Newt, theres still time, man.But Im not going to do that--Im not going to attack
any of the Republican candidates.Take MittRomney--he and I actually have a lot in common.We both think of our wives as our better halves, and polls show, to a alarminglyinsulting extent, the American people agree.We also both have degrees from Harvard;I have one, he has two.What as nob.目前,说道这里我知道很多人都在等候我出言攻击将来的敌手,金里奇。纽特你还来得及啊!但我不会那么做。我不会攻击任何共和党候选人。比如鲁姆你,我们两个其实有很多合营点,我们都认为自己的老婆比自己更优秀。并且平易近意调查显示,令人震惊而难堪的是,很大一部分美国人也这样认为(他俩都没老婆受欢迎)。我们都有哈佛的学位,我有一个,他有两个。真是势利小人。
Of course, weve also had our differences.Recently, his campaign criticized me for slow jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon.In fact, I understand Governor Romney was so incensed he asked his staff if he could get some equal time on The Merv Griffin Show.Still, I guess Governor Romney is feeling pretty good about things because he took a few hours off the other day to see The Hunger Games--some of you have seen it.Its amovie about people who court wealthy sponsors and then brutally savage each other until only one contestant is left standing.Im sure this was a really good change of pace for him.I have not seen The Hunger Games;not enough class warfare for me.当然我俩也有不同之处,近年来他的竞选团队品评我和吉米·法伦表演的“最慢新闻风”。现实上,我知道罗姆尼州长气疯了,一直问手下可否上“Merv Griffin秀”(1986年就停播的电视节目)也来这么一长段。并且我举得罗姆尼比来的心情还是不错的,因为前几天他抽工夫去看了“饥饿游戏”,有些人看过了,电影讲述的是一群人围了取悦援助人残忍搏杀,直到剩下末了一名幸存者的故事。他看了这电影绝对能够转换心情啊。我还没看过“饥饿游戏”,对我来讲片中的“阶层斗争”(共和党将税务问题称为“阶层斗争”)。
Of course, I know everybody is predicting aelection, an dthankfully, weve all agreed that families are off limits.Dogs,however, are apparently fair game.And while both campaigns have had some fun with this, the other day I saw a new ad from one of these outside groups that, frankly,I think crossed the line.I know Governor Romney says he has no control over what his super PACs do,but can we show the ad real quick?(Video is played.)当然我知道大家都认为本届选战将会不择手段,亏得,我们都赞成祸不殃及家人。然则对于狗,显然就是公平竞争了。两边阵营都拿这事玩得很高兴。某天我看到这段竞选团队制作的视频,说实话,我感受过分了。我知道罗姆尼自称跟他的“超级PAC”绝无通同,我们来看一下这段张扬告白吧。(播放视频竞争对手罗姆尼团队制作的攻击奥巴马视频,我靠敢这样公开抹黑现任总统)
That’s prettyrough,but I can take it,because my stepfather always told me, its a boy-eat-dog world out there.这一段太横暴了,但我还能忍耐得住。因为我的继父经常辅导我,这是个“童咬狗”的世界(自嘲被罗姆尼阵营暴光的6岁吃狗肉事宜,双关讽刺对手“咬狗”)。
Now, if I do win a second term as President, let me just say something to all the--let me just say something to all my-oriented friendson the right who think I am planning to unleash some secret agenda:You are absolutely right.So allow me to close with a quick preview of the secret agenda you can expect in a second Obamaadministration.目前,若是我真的博得蝉联,我想告诉所有深嗜诡计论的右派同伙,你们认为我企图进行某些隐秘计划,你们说得一点没错。所以结尾部分我要预报一下在我的第二任期内将
泛起的隐秘计划。
In my first term, I sang Al Green;inmy second term, Im going with Young Jeezy.Michelle said, yeah.Ising that to her sometimes.In my first term, we ended the war in Iraq;in my second term, I will win the war on Christmas.In my first term, we repealed the policy known as “dont ask, dont tell”--wait, though;in my second term, we will replace it with a policy known as, its raining men.In my first term, we passed health carereform;in my second term, I guess Ill pass it again.在我的第一任期我唱了Al Green的歌,在我的第二任期,我要唱Young Jeezy。米歇尔说:“好啊。”我有时间会给她唱。在我的第一任期我们竣事了伊拉克战争,在第二任期,我们会打赢“圣诞之战”(共和党上纲上线捏造的战争)。在我的第一任期,我们倾覆了“不问不说”政策(部队的鄙视同性恋政策),先别急,在我的第二任期,我们会将此政策更换成“漫天基情”(典型的男同性恋歌曲)。在我第一任期,我们通过了医保改革;在我的第二任期,我想我得再通过一次(共和党企图倾覆医保改革)。
I do want to end tonight on as lightly more serious note--whoever takes the oath of office next January will face some great challenges, but he will also in herittraditions that make us greater than the challenges we face.And one of those traditions is represented here tonight: a free press that is not afraid to ask questions, to examine and to criticize.And in service of that mission, all of you make sacrifices.其实我想用端庄点的内容做今晚的结语,不管明年一月谁宣誓就任都会面对严峻的磨练,但他也会继承使我们能克服磨练的传统精力。今晚各位所代表的就是这样的传统精力。媒体自由让我们不怕质疑,勇于调查,直言批判。而为了这样的方针,你们所有人都做出了牺牲。
Tonight, we remember journalists such as Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin--who made thesacrifice as they sought to shine a light on some of the most important stories of our time.So whether you are a blogger or a broadcaster, whether you take on powerful interests here at home or put yourself in harms way overseas, I have the greatest respect and admiration for what you do.I know sometimes you like to give me a hard time--and I certainly like to return the favor--but I never forget that our country depends on you.You help protect our freedom, our democracy, and our way of life.今晚,让我们来纪念像Anthony Shadid和Marie Colvin这样的大胆记者(都是在国外报导时殉职),他们为了将当代最重大的新闻公诸于世付出了崇高的牺牲。所以不管你是博客作者还是媒体主播,不管你是在国内尽力报导还是在海外身处险境,我都对你们的事业表示最高的尊重和敬意。我知道有时间你们喜欢让我难堪,我也非常想以牙还牙。但我从未忘掉我们的国家需要你们。你们帮我们捍卫自由、民主和我们的生活方式。(本次演讲的精髓正题,标榜美国的民主媒体言论自由)
And just to set the record straight,I really do enjoy attending these dinners.In fact, I had a lot more material prepared, but I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new.最后说点直接的,我非常喜欢参加这样的晚宴。我本来准备了很多段子,但我得让特勤局特工们早点回家向老婆报到(自嘲特勤局特工集体招妓事件,此时镜头切换给毫无表情的总统保镖们)。
Thank you very much, everybody.Thankyou.非常谢谢各位,谢谢!选自互联网
