英文演讲The Gettysburg Address赏析

想学好英文，不外乎几个途径——多听、多讲和多写。要听好的英语，最好是听英语世界的名人演讲，不单学习他们的腔调，也学习他们遣词造句的精髓，以及人生的智能。

演讲在西方有悠久的传统，希腊的学者和政治家在三千前，已经在广场向群众宣扬自己的学说和政治理念。从政者必须是一个出色的演说家，前美国总统林肯，就是最伟大的英语演说家之一，他的文辞浅白，从不在演语中乱丢书包、或故意卖弄，而且句子简洁、铿锵有力。发表于1863年的The Gettysburg Address可说是其中的佼佼者。下面我们来欣赏一下。

The Gettysburg Address

Abraham Lincoln November 1863

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.We are met on a great battlefield of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.It is altogether fit and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicatewe cannot hallow this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before usthat we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vainand that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth.葛底斯堡的演讲 87年以前，我们的先辈们在这个大陆上创立了一个新国家。它孕育于自由之中，奉行一切人生来平等的原则。

现在我们正从事一场伟大的内战，以考验这个国家，或者说以考验任何一个孕育于自由而奉行上述原因的国家是否能够存在下去。我们在这场战争中的一个伟大战场上集会。烈士们为使这个国家能够生存下去而献出了自己的生命，我们在此集会是为了把这个战场的一部分奉献给他们作为最后安息之所。我们这样做是完全应该而且非常恰当的。

但是，从更广泛的意义上来说，这块土地我们不能够奉献，不能够圣化，不能够神化。曾在这里战斗过的勇士们，活着的和死了的，已经把这块土地神圣化了。这远不是我们微薄的力量所能增减的。全世界将很少注意到、也不会长期地记起我们在这里所说的话，但全世界永远不会忘记勇士们在这里做过的事。毋宁说，倒是我们这些还活着的人，应该在这里把自己奉献于勇士们已经如此崇高地向前推进但尚未完成的事业，倒是我们应该在这里把自己奉献于仍然留在我们面前的伟大任务，以便使我们从这些光荣的死者身上汲取更多的献身精神，来完成他们已经完全彻底为之献身的事业，以便使我们在这里下定最大的决心，不让这些死者白白牺牲，以便使国家在上帝福佑下得到自由的新生，并且使这个民有、民治、民享的政府永世长存。

底斯堡战役是美国南北战争中一个具有决定意义的转折点,挫败南方军队向北的进攻。为了纪念这一具有历史意义的战役,北方各州决定在葛底斯堡修建烈士公墓。1863年11月19日举行的烈士公墓落成典礼,林肯应邀出席并作了历史上有名的葛底斯堡演说。

在此演讲中, 6个字母及以上的词汇量的数目为57个,占21%的比例,同时不常见的词也较多,如consecrate, hallow, perish等;这些词完全可以被其它词或词组替换,如“fourscore and seven years ago”可以表达为“eightythat we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain 最后又用了三个that引导的从句,但是引导的不是状语从句而是三个宾语从句。这也是对偶的修辞手法: That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth.第三个宾语从句中的of the people, by the people, for the people也使用了排比的修辞手法。

《葛底斯堡演说》这篇演说辞虽然短小精悍,但是声调铿锵有力,语义丰富,力量集中,说理有力。无论是从词汇层面,词组短语层面还是从句法层面都有其独特的文体特征。也正是这些独特的文体特征使得本篇演说辞更加富有感染力。

第二篇：英文演讲

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!I’m very glad to stand here and give you a speech.Hello!I wonder whether everybody knows the meaning of these two words of “energy-conservation ” and “ low carbon ”? I assume as a matter of course and know.Does “energy-conservation” save the energy? Does “low carbon” reduce carbon emission? Yes, it is really simple.We often chat about them.But, do you really understand them? Have they really taken root on your bottom of heart deeply?

Once, the Earth mother left our rich energy to cause us to be jubilant, sighed on Earth's energy inexhaustible, inexhaustible, now, the newest statistics indicated, the petroleum will dry up after 60 years, the coal also might supply the humanity to use for 250 years;Once, developed first, the environment question the situation which neglected is often occurred, now, the sustainable development, was together harmoniously with the nature the biggest topic.Not difficult to see, the environment question in is taken unceasingly by the people.For all this, the environment question was still stern, the energy conservation reduced the platoon, the low-carbon lives imminently.At the Copenhagen climate congress, this affects the human destiny the question slowly to be unable to reach the agreement actually.In the life, is driving the great displacement automobile, purchases including the fluorine air conditioning, the refrigerator, including the phosphorus laundry powder, turns on the air conditioning the low temperature also one side to bind in the summer the quilt, the daylight lamp is being long all night clearly, water cock water drop sound day and night not rest......These influence environment phenomenon common occurrence.This is rebels with ours position.American President Kennedy has said: Do not have to ask the country can

make any for us, must ask first oneself can make any for the country.The low-carbon life needs everybody to participation!

The low-carbon life first is one kind of life manner.So long as wants, each person may be able to achieve!The electricity saving, saves gas and oil, the solar terms, saving water, the tree-planting, makes use of waste, by step generation of vehicle......The intravenous drip, in life each aspect, all may choose the low-carbon life the manner.The low-carbon life is also representing one kind healthily, the more natural life style.Little eats counter-season food, the generation by works as season food;Little uses the disposable product, the generation by the duplicated things;Little rides an overhead traveling crane, little sits one time the elevator, the generation rides the bicycle, crawls the staircase, while falls the low-carbon withdrawal, we will have a healthier body and mind.We believed, so long as everybody works as one, participation together, humanity's tomorrow certainly will be able to be happier!Schoolmates, today, your low-carbon?

老师们、同学们：

大家好！不知大家是否知道“节能”和“低碳”这两个词的意思？我想当然知道。“节能”不就是节约能源吗？“低碳”不就是降低碳排放量吗？是啊，的确简单。我们经常把它们挂在嘴边。可是，你真的理解它们吗？它们真的深深扎根在你的心底了吗？

曾经，地球母亲留给我们丰富的能源使我们兴高采烈，感叹地球上的能源取之不尽，用之不竭，现在，最新统计表明，石油将在60年后枯竭，煤还可以供人类使用250年；曾经，物资、能源的浪费多么猖獗，现在，“节约光荣，浪费可耻”成了新一代的口头禅；曾经，“发展第一”，环境问题被忽视的情况时常发生，现在，可持续发展，与大自然和谐相处成了最大的课题。不难看出，环境问题在不断被人们重视。

尽管如此，环境问题仍然严峻，节能减排、低碳生活迫在眉睫。在哥本哈根气候大会上，这一影响人类命运的问题却迟迟无法达成协议。在生活中，开着大排量汽车，购买含氟空调、冰箱，含磷洗衣粉，夏天把空调开着低温还一边裹着被子，日光灯彻夜长明，水龙头滴水声日夜不息......，这些影响环境的现象屡见不鲜。这是与我们的主张所悖逆的。

如果整个社会是大海，每个人就是一滴水，大海的污染，影响着每一滴水，也需要每一滴水努力帮助净化污染。美国总统肯尼迪说过：“不要问国家能为我们做些什么，先要问自己能为国家做些什么。”低碳生活需要人人参与！

第四篇：英文演讲

Low-carbon is a buzzword these days, but the notion is no longer ambiguous for cities in China as the country selects five provinces and eight cities to make them the first batch of low-carbon pilot areas.Su Yi has the detail.The selected areas have promised to work out a low-carbon development plan to accelerate the establishment of a low carbon industry and promote people's low-carbon lifestyles.Lei Hongpeng, senior program officer of climate and energy programme with World Wide Fund for Nature, the world's largest conservation non-governmental organization, says the pilot project is a significant measure China has taken to deal with climate change.“Firstly, from a global perspective, we all know climate change is one of the biggest challenges the whole world is facing, I think China is one of the big emitters and also one of the countries who is affected by climate change, so China should do some thing to tackle climate change.The second is domestic perspective;China needs to explore a way to realize its development target, at the same time with limited sources and environment.”

The selected provinces are Guangdong, Liaoning, Hubei, Shaanxi and Yunnan, while the eight cities include Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guiyang and Baoding.Lei Hongpeng explains the government's thinking behind choosing these places as the first batch of the pilot program.“I think from provincial level, the government selected these pilots mainly base on-every area, one province or municipality is selected.For example, northeast we have Liaoning province, north China we have Tianjin municipality and so on.For the cities, I think the governments really consider about capacity and their actions in the past several years, which mean the cities can go forward further with their strong experience and knowledge on low-carbon development.”

By the end of August, these provinces and cities have to submit their plan to the National Development and Reform Commission for approval.Xu Mindong, an official from the Development and Reform Commission of Hangzhou, talks about their plan.“Hangzhou started the preparation long ago, and we have an environmental advantage.The selected areas have their own unique features, some focus on new energy, some focus on ecological construction.Hangzhou's emphasis is on six aspects, including low carbon economy, environment, architecture, transportation and a low carbon society.”

The local governments in those areas have to manage to establish a data gathering system of greenhouse gas emissions, while combining the efforts of all their industries to achieve the goal of maintaining a low-carbon society.For CRI, Im Su Yi.值此第五届中国投资贸易洽谈会召开之际，我谨代表中国政府，向来自世界各地的嘉宾表示热烈欢迎！自1997年以来，中国已经成功地举办了四届投资贸易洽谈会。投资贸易洽谈会在宣传中国利用外资政策、促进外商来华投资、引导中国企业到海外投资等方面发挥了重要作用。

On the occasion of the Fifth China International Fair for Investment and Trade, I would like to extend, on behalf of the Chinese government, my warm welcome to all distinguished guests coming from all over the world.Since 1997, China has held four successful International Fairs for Investment and Trade.The Fair has played an important role in publicizing China’s policies on foreign investment attraction, promoting foreign capital inflow, and guiding Chinese companies to

make overseas investments.洽谈会采取“引进来”与“走出去”相结合、投资与贸易相结合、展示与洽谈相结合、项目推介与政策咨询相结合、商务活动与学术研讨相结合的方式。洽谈会为海外朋友和企业家了解中国、走进中国，中国企业家了解世界、走向世界创造了一个机会，开辟了一条渠道。

The Fair integrates the strategy of “Attracting Foreign Investment” by “going global”, and deals with investment and trade together.It is combination of exhibitions and negotiations, a venue for both project presentation and policy consultation, and a place where business activities and academic seminars take place at the same time.The Fair has created an opportunity for foreign friends and entrepreneurs to know about China and make their way into this country;on the other hand, it has opened a new channel for Chinese businessmen to get acquainted with the rest of the world and go abroad.

演讲稿二：

Good morning(or afternoon), my teachers and classmates!

The friend in need is a friend in deed 患难见真情

A life without friend is a life without sun!Many people will in and out of our life,but only true friend will leave footprints in our hearts.人生没有朋友,犹如生活无太阳。很多人会在我们的生命出现,但是只有真正的朋友会在我们的心里留下脚印。

They like the bright lights in the dark, accompaning with us through the fear and confusion, guiding us to the right way of a nice future.They try their best to help us without thinking what they can get from it.他们如同黑暗中明亮的阳光，陪伴我们度过恐惧和困惑，指引我们走向正确的道路。他们尽他们最大的努力来帮助我们却从不考虑他们能从中得到什么。

They like a warm coat in the rainy day, giving us strength to getting rid of dilemma, embracing us with big arms.They convince us that nothing is hard to conquer as long as they are with us.他们如同下雨天的温暖外套，给我们力量去摆脱困境，用他们宽大的臂膀来拥抱我们。

他们让我们知道只要有他们在身边没有什么是不能战胜的。

They like a rule to point out our shortcomings, just hoping us to present best in front of others.The man who tells your faults is the one who really cares about you.他们如同一把标尺指出我们身上的缺点，只是希望我们能在其他人面前表现出最好的自己。能够指出你身上不足的人才是真正关心你的人。

An ordinary friend has never seen your tears,but a real friend has shoulders for you to dilute your tears.An ordinary friend will take a bottle of wine to your part, but a real friend will come early to help you prepare,and go back late to help you tidy.An ordinary friend call you to talk about your trouble, but a real friend call you to handle your trouble 一个普通的朋友从未看过你流泪,但一个真正的朋友却给你肩膀让你依靠。一个普通的朋友会带瓶葡萄酒参加你的派对,但一个真正的朋友会最早一个来帮你准备，最晚一个走来帮你收拾残局。一个普通的朋友打电话给你聊聊你的麻烦,但一个真正的朋友告诉你怎么样处理你的烦恼。

If you establish your friendship when you are in trouble, please cherish it.Otherwise when you lose it, you will find that how important it is.如果你在困难的时候建立起这份友谊的，请珍惜它，否则当你失去的时候，你会发现它是多么的重要。

演讲稿三（诗歌）：

A forever friend 永远的朋友

A friend walk in when the rest of the world walks out.别人都走开的时候，朋友仍与你在一起。”

someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.他会让你相信人间有真情。

someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。

This is forever friendship.这就是永远的友谊。

When you’re down，当你失意，and the world seems dark and empty，当世界变得黯淡与空虚，your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。

your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times.你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。

If you turn and walk away，你转身走开时，your forever friend follows，真正的朋友会紧紧相随，if you lose you way，你迷失方向时，your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.真正的朋友会引导你，鼓励你。

your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。
