名人演说

第一篇：名人演说

Once again，I’ve had a great time ,y’know.And I can’t „ I can’t say enough for the people who’ve supported me.And ,you know ,my life will take a change.And a lot of people say , “Well doesn’t have any challenges away from the game of basketball.” Well ,I dispute that ,you know.Being a parent is very challenging.If you have kids you know that ,you know.I welcome that challenge and I look forward to it.From Michael Jordan’s “Retirement Speech” in 1999

曾经一度，我有过辉煌时代，而且我对那些曾经支持过我的人感激不尽。正如你所知道的，我的生活要发生变化。很多人说‘是的，离开了篮球迈克•乔丹不会有任何挑战。’但我不同意这些说法。你知道当一个父母是很困难的，如果你有孩子的话，你会明白的。我欢迎挑战，我期待着它。

来自1999年乔丹的退役演讲

My third story is about death.When I was 17 ,I read a quote that went something like : “If you live each day as if it was your last ,someday you’ll most certainly be right.”It made an impression on me ,and since then ,for the past 33 years ,I have looked in the mirror every moring and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life ,would I want to do what I am about to do today ?”And whenever the answer has been “NO”for too many days in a row ,I know I need to change something.Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.Because almost everything—all external expections,all pride ,all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of deat ,leaving only what is truly important.From the “Commencement Address at Standford University”by Steve Jobs

我的第三个故事是关于死亡。

在我17岁的时候，我读过一则名言，好像说：“如果你把过的每一天当做生命的最后一天，有一天你会发现你是完全正确的。”这句话给我留下很深的印象。从那以来，在过去的33年里，我每天早晨对着镜子看着自己，问自己如果今天是我生命的最后一天，我还会做现在我将要做的事吗。不论什么时候，当答案连续许多天是否定的，那么我知道我需要改变一些事了。

始终记得我将会死去是最重要的方法，在生活中它帮助我作重要的决定。因为几乎所有的事，包括所有的期望，荣誉，对窘迫事情的惧怕和失败，这些事会在死亡面前微不足道，剩下的只有那些真正重要的。

来自乔布斯斯坦福大学毕业演说

The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted;it belongs to the brave.The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future ,and we’ll continue to follow them.We’ll continue our quest in space.There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and , yes, more volunteers ,more civilians ,more teachers in space.Nothing ends here;our hopes and our journeys continue.From the Space Shuttle “Challenger” Tragedy Address by Ronald Reagan

未来不属于那些胆小的人，而是属于那些勇士。“挑战者”号全体队员正在把我们带进未来，我们也将会继续的跟从他们的脚踪，在太空继续我们的追求。将来会有更多的太空航班和更多的宇航员，当然，也会有更多的志愿者，公民和教师。这样的追求不会结束，我们的希望和旅行会进行到底。

第二篇：名人演讲：国会珍珠港演说

美国第32任总统富兰克林·D·罗斯福(Franklin D.Roosevelt)(1933—1945)，一直被视为美国历史上最伟大的总统之一，是20世纪美国最孚众望和受爱戴的总统，也是美国历史上惟一连任4届总统的人，从1933年3月起，直到1945年4月去世时为止，任职长达12年。曾赢得美国民众长达7周的高支持率，创下历史记录。

富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福出生于纽约。父亲詹姆斯·罗斯福是一个百万富翁。母亲萨拉·德拉诺比父亲小26岁。罗斯福曾就读于哈佛大学和哥伦比亚大学。1910年任纽约州参议员。1913年任海军部副部长。1921年因患脊髓灰质炎致残。1928年任纽约州长。1932年竞选总统获胜。执政后，以“新政”对付经济危机，颇有成效，故获得1936年、1940年、1944年大选连任。第二次世界大战初，美国采取不介入政策，但对希特勒采取强硬手段，以“租借法”支持同盟国。1941年底，美国参战。罗斯福代表美国两次参加同盟国“三巨头”会议。罗斯福政府提出了轴心国必须无条件投降的原则并得到了实施。罗斯福提出了建立联合国的构想，也得到了实施。63岁时由于脑溢血去世。

很多网友相信都看过电影《珍珠港》(pearl Harbor)，第二次世界大战在欧亚大陆打的如火如荼，而跨海相隔的美国却隔岸观火，仿佛事不关己。直到1941年12月7日早晨7点53分，日本突袭美军在夏威夷的基地珍珠港。次日，美国总统罗斯福在国会愤然发表了这篇的演说，至此，太平洋战争全面爆发。

Yesterday, December 7th, 1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.昨天，1941年12月7日──它将永远成为国耻日──美利坚合众国遭到了日本帝国海空军预谋的突然袭击。

Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.Last night, Japanese forces attacked the philippine Islands.Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.昨天日本政府也发动了对马来地区的进攻。

昨夜日本军队进攻了香港。

昨夜日本军队进攻关岛。

昨夜日本军队进攻菲律宾群岛。

昨夜日本军队进攻威克岛。

今晨日本军队进攻了中途岛。

演讲全文：pearl Harbor Address to the Nation

Mr.Vice president, Mr.Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:

Yesterday, December 7th, 1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the pacific.Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message.And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago.During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces.I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost.In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.Last night, Japanese forces attacked the philippine Islands.Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the pacific area.The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves.The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.Hostilities exist.There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph--so help us God.I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.

竞争演说：名人警句摘录(10)

十、讲究策略方法

1、先理纲，后理纪；先理令，后理罚；先理近，后理远；先理内，后理外；先理本，后理末；先理强，后理弱；先理大，后理小；先理上，后理下；先理身，后理人。是以理纲则纪张，理令则罚行，理近则远安，理内则外端，理本则末通，理强则弱深，理大则小行，理上则下正，理身则人敬。此乃治国之道也。（三国·诸葛亮）

释：先确定大政方针，再制定具体措施；先制定法令，再实行刑罚；先治理当前的，再治理长远的；先处理好内部事务，再处理外部；先治理好带根本性的问题，再解决细节问题；先治理好强的，再治理弱的，先治理好大的，再解决小的，先治理好上层机构，再治理下层社会，先治理好自身，再去管理别人。这是由于确立了大政方针，具体措施才能得以实施；制定好了国家法令，才能具体实施刑罚；治理好近的，远的才能安定；治理好内部，外部就会端正；治理好根本，末节就能畅通；治理住强的，弱的就能伸展；治理住大的，小的就能通顺；治理好上层，下层就能正直，治理好自身，他人就会敬重服从。这些就是治理国家的根本道理。

2、夫军国之弊，有五害焉：一曰，结党相连，毁谮贤良；二曰，侈其衣服，异其冠带；三曰，虚夸妖术，诡言神道；四曰，专察是非，私以动众；五曰，伺候得失，阴结敌人。此所谓奸伪悖得之人，可远而不可亲也。（三国·诸葛亮）

释：治国治军有五害：一是拉帮结伙，二是哗众取宠，三是妄加谈论，四是混淆是非，五是心怀不轨。对这些都应防范它们。

3、欲安，则莫若平政爱民矣；欲荣，则莫若隆礼敬士矣；欲立功名，则莫若尚贤使能矣。（荀子）

释：想保持安定，巩固地位，那么没有比平政爱民更好的办法了；想获得美好声誉，那么没有比崇礼敬士更好的办法了；想建立伟大功业，那么没有比尚贤使能更好的办法了。

4、上之为政，得下之情则治，不得下情则乱（墨子）

释：上面为官从政的，如了解得到下边的情况并制定出符合实际的政策，就可很好地治理，反之，不真正了解掌握下边情况，政策脱离实际，就会发生**。

5、善将者，其刚不可折，甚柔不可卷，故以弱致强，以柔制刚。纯柔纯弱，其势必削；纯刚纯强，其势必亡。不柔不刚，合道之常。（三国·诸葛亮）

释：善作将领的必须有刚柔兼备的性格，但刚强不固执、温柔不软弱，所以可以弱致强，以柔制刚。但单讲温柔会导致软弱，势力会削弱；单讲刚强会导致固执己见，一意孤行，势必灭亡。不柔不刚，才合乎道理的常规。

6、其安易持，其未兆易谋，其脆易泮，其微易散，为之于未有，治之于未乱。（老子）

人事考试教育网

释 ：在安定的时候容易管理，凶事未发生时容易解决，问题没弄到最严重时易判断，麻烦事在细小时容易处理。因此，凡事都要在没有定局之前妥善安排，在**未发生之前就采取正确的预防措施。

7、摇木者一一摄其叶，则劳而不遍。左右抵其本，而叶遍摇矣。（《韩非子》）

释：摇树木的人，如一片叶子一片叶子地去动，那么即使弄得精疲力尽也不可能全部动遍。如从左右推拍树干，那么可使一树叶子都摇动了。

8、将欲歙之，必固张之；将欲弱之，必固强之；将欲废之，必固兴之；将欲夺之，必固与之：是谓微明。（老子）

释：要想缩小它，必须暂且故意让它扩张一下；要想削弱它，必须暂且故意让它强大一下；要想废除它，必须暂且故意让它兴旺一下；要想夺取它，必须暂且故意给它一点。这就叫深藏起来的高明。

9、宁伪作不知不为，不伪作假知妄为。静不露机，云雷屯也。（孙武）

释：宁可假装糊涂而不有所行动，也不冒充聪明而轻举妄动。暗中策划，不露声色，就象冬天的雷电，储存力量，待机爆发一样。

10、数中有术，术中有数。阴阳燮理，机在其中。机不可设，设则不中。（孙武）

释：在客观实际中蕴藏着谋略，谋略的运用也要根据客观实际。认识了客观事物的矛盾性，就可掌握和运用谋略。谋略不可违背客观实际，凭主观想象去生搬硬套，就要招致失败。

11、天下有定理而无定法。定理者，知人而已矣，安民而已矣，进贤远奸而已矣。无定法者，一兴一废一繁一简之间，因乎时而不可执也。（清·王夫之）

释：天下有治国的大原则，而具体的法规制度则不能一成不变。大的原则只不过是知人、安民、进贤远奸罢了，而法规制度的制定、废除，是繁还是简，就要因当时具体条件而定，不应拘泥不变。

12、制事者因其则，服药者因其良。书不必起仲尼之门，药不必出扁鹊之方。合之者善，可以为法，因世而权行。（汉·陆贾）

释：处理事情要根据事情本身的规律和法则，吃药治病要根据药物对疾病的功效。一本书的好坏不一定以是否出之孔子之手，一副药的效用也不一定以扁鹊所开之方为标准。凡是符合实际，合乎规律的就是好的，可以把它当作法令制度，根据时代不同而灵活执行。

13、智者之虑，必杂于利害，杂于利，而务可信也；杂于害，而患可解也。（孙武）

释：足智多谋的将帅对情况的考虑，必须兼顾利和害两个方面。在不利情况中要充分考虑到有利条件，才能提高胜利信心；在顺利情况下看到不利方面，才能消除可能发生的祸患。

14、将有五善四欲。五善者，所谓善知敌人之形势，善知进退之道，善知国力之虚实，善知天时人事，善知山川险阻。四欲者，所谓战欲奇，谋欲密，众欲静，心欲一。（三国·诸葛亮）

释：将帅要具有五善四欲的军事实践的才能。所谓五善，就是善知敌方形势，善知进退战术，善知国势财力大小，善知适时把握天时人心，善知山川河流地形。四欲者，作战时要出奇制胜，谋划时要严守机密，复杂情况下要镇静，指挥决心要坚定专一。

15、清白之士，不可以爵禄得；节义之士，不可以威刑胁。（黄石公）

释：对廉洁的人不可用爵禄收买，对有节操义行的人不可用重刑相威胁。

16、图未就之功，不如保已成之业；悔既往之失，不如防将来之非。（《莱根谭》）

释：与其计划没有把握完成的功业，不如维持好已经完成的事业；与其懊悔以前的过失，还不如预防未来可能发生的错误。

17、不责人小过，不发人隐私，不念人旧恶。（《莱根谭》）

释：不要责难他人的小过错，不随便揭发他人隐私，不可对别人的坏处耿耿于怀。

18、从时者，犹救火。（左丘明）

释：想抓住和顺应时机，好比救火一样，要迅速、坚决。

19、遇沉沉不语之士，且莫输心；见悻悻自好之人，应须防口。（《莱根谭》）

释：遇到表面阴沉而不爱说话的人，千万不要一下子就推心置腹地跟他作朋友；见了自以为是了不起的人，应尽量小心谨慎不与他说话。

20、辟邪不得其情，则邪愈肆；攻疾不对其症，则病愈剧。（明·吕坤）

释：治理邪气得不到真实情况和原因而盲目去治，就会使邪气更猖獗，治疗疾病不能对症用药用术，就会使病情更加严重。

21、千斤之石，置于立板之上，一力可以落九仞；万斛之舟，溯于急流之中，片帆可以去千里。（宋·林逋）

释：千斤重的巨石，放在立起的木板上翘，稍一用力就可使之从很高处落下来；装载万斛的大船，放在顺水急流中，一片帆就可行去很远。

22、治世不一道，使国不必法古。（商鞅）

释：治理世事没有一成不变的道理，管理国家不必非要全按古人的方法。

人事考试教育网

23、执古以绳今，是为诬今；执今以律古，是为诬古。（清·魏源）

释：完全拿古代的东西约束现在的情况，这是对现时的诬蔑和欺骗；拿现时的东西当法则去看古代，这是对历史的诬蔑和欺骗。

24、有备则制人，无备则制于人。（汉·桓宽）

释：有了准备就可掌握主动，没有准备就会被别人所制，陷于被动。

25、多言不可与远谋，多动不可与久处。（隋·王通）

释：对爱多说话的人不能和他作长远的谋划，对多动的人不能长久长处。

26、入山问樵，入水问渔。（明·庄元臣）

释：要到山上去，就要向樵夫了解山上的情况；要到水里去，就要向渔民了解水里的情况。

27、事虽易，而以难处之，未有不治之变；患虽远，而以近处之，未有不及之谋。（明·王廷相）

释：事情虽容易，却把它当难事去认真办理，就没有治不了的变故；祸患虽在很远，却当成在眼前来处理，就没有来不及解决问题的安排。

28、焚林而猎，愈多得兽，后必无兽。（《淮南子》）

释：采取烧掉树林狩猎的做法，虽当时能多得猎物，但以后必没有了猎物。

29、善疑者，不疑人之所疑，而疑人之所不疑。（明·方以智）

释：善于疑虑问题的人，不去疑虑人们都怀疑的事，而是去疑虑人们不会怀疑的事情或情况。

30、操千曲而后晓声，观千剑而后识器。（梁·刘勰）

释：操演千曲之后才能知晓音乐声的优劣，观察千剑之后才会辨识武器的好坏。

第五篇：名人演讲:布什胜利演说

“The voters turned out in record numbers and delivered anhistoric victory.”Earlier today, Senator Kerry called with his congratulations.We had a really good phone call.He was very gracious.“Senator Kerry waged a spirited campaign, and he and his supporters can be proud of their efforts.”Laura and I wish Senator Kerry and Teresa and their whole family all our best wishes.“America has spoken, and I'm humbled by the trust and the confidence of my fellow citizens.”With that trust comes a duty to serve all Americans.And I will do my best to fulfill that duty every day as your president.“There are many people to thank and my family comes first.”Laura is the love of my life.I'm glad you love her too.“I want to thank our daughters who joined their dad for his last campaign.I appreciate the hard work of my sister and brothers.”I especially want to thank my parents for their loving support.I'm grateful to the vice president and Lynne and their daughters who have worked so hard and been such a vital part of our team.“The vice president serves America with wisdom and honor and I'm proud to serve beside him.”I want to thank my superb campaign team.I want to thank you all for your hard work.I was impressed every day by how hard and how skillful our team was.“I want to thank the thousands of our supporters across our country.I want to thank you for your hugs on the rope lines.I want thank you for your prayers on the rope lines.I want to thank you for your kind words on the rope lines.”I want to thank you for everything you did to make the calls and to put up the signs, to talk to your neighbors and to get out the vote.“And because you did the incredible work, we are celebrating today.”There is an old saying, 'Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers;pray for powers equal to your tasks.'

“In four historic years, America has been given great tasks and faced them with strength and courage.”Our people have restored the vigor of this economy and shown resolve and patience in a new kind of war.“Our military has brought justice to the enemy and honor to America.Our nation has defended itself and served the freedom of all mankind.”I'm proud to lead such an amazing country, and I'm proud to lead it forward.“Because we have done the hard work, we are entering a season of hope.”We will continue our economic progress.We'll reform our outdated tax code.We'll strengthen the Social Security for the next generation.We'll make public schools all they can be.And we will uphold our deepest values of family and faith.“We'll help the emerging democracies of Iraq and Afghanistan...so they can grow in strength and defend their freedom.”And then our service men and women will come home with the honor they have earned.“With good allies at our side, we will fight this war on terror with every resource of our national power so our children can live in freedom and in peace.”Reaching these goals will require the broad support of Americans.So today I want to speak to every person who voted for my opponent.“To make this nation stronger and better, I will need your support and I will work to earn it.I will do all I can do to deserve your trust.”A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation.We have one country, one Constitution, and one future that binds us.“And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America.”Let me close with a word for the people of the state of Texas.“We have known each other the longest, and you started me on this journey.”On the open plains of Texas, I first learned the character of our country: sturdy and honest, and as hopeful as the break of day.“I will always be grateful to the good people of my state.And whatever the road that lies ahead, that road will take me home.”The campaign has ended, and the United States of America goes forward with confidence and faith.“I see a great day coming for our country and I am eager for the work ahead.”God bless you and may God bless America."

此次选民的投票率创下了历史新高，带来了历史性的胜利。今天早些时候，凯瑞参议员打电话祝贺我竞选成功。我们在电话中谈得很好，他非常亲切。凯瑞参议员发起了充满活力的竞选攻劫，他和他的支持者可以为此感到自豪。萝拉和我向凯瑞、爱德华兹以及他们全家表示最衷心的祝愿。

美国做出了选择。对于同胞们的信任，我很感激。这种信任意味著我将承担为所有美国公民服务的义务。作为你们的总统，我每天都将竭尽全力。

我需要感谢许多人，首先是我的家人。劳拉是我一生的挚爱，我对你们也爱她感到高兴。我还要感谢在竞选后期加入竞选团的女儿，感谢兄弟姐妹们付出的努力，特别感谢严父慈母的支持。

我感谢副总统、（他的夫人）切尼和他们的女儿。他们付出了努力，是竞选团的重要成员。副总统聪明睿智、正直高贵，我为跟他共事感到自豪。

我感谢优秀的竞选团，感谢你们所有人付出的努力。你们的勤奋和智慧每天都给我留下了深刻的印象。

我感谢全国上下成千上万名支持者，感谢你们在竞选集会上的拥抱、祈祷和亲切言语，感谢你们想方设法打出标语，呼吁邻居前去投票。

正是由于你们付出了惊人的努力，我们今天才能庆祝胜利。

有句谚语说，不要祈求能力所能胜任的任务，要祈求能胜任任务的能力。在四年历史性时期，美国被赋予了伟大的任务，并以实力和勇气面对这些任务。我国人民使经济活力复苏，并在新型战争中显示出决心和耐心。我军已经将敌人绳之以法，给美国带来了荣誉。我国保卫了自己，维护了全人类的自由。领导这样出色的国家，我感到自豪；带领这个国家前进，我感到自豪。

我们已经完成了艰难的任务，进入了充满希望的时期。我们将继续推动经济增长，改革落后的税法，为下一代加强社会保障。我们将尽量改善公立学校，维护在家庭和信仰方面的核心价值观。

我们将帮助伊拉克和阿富汗建立民主制度……以便他们增强实力和维护自由。然后，我军官兵将带著他们获得的荣誉回国。在优秀盟国的支持下，我们将动用美国的一切力量打赢这场反恐战争，确保我们的孩子们的自由与和平。

要实现这些目标，美国公民的广泛支持是必不可缺的。因此今天，我要对支持对手的所有人说，为了让美国变得更强大更美好，我需要你们的支持，我也将努力获得你们的支持，并将竭尽所能以担当得起你们的支持。

新一届任期使我有机会影响整个国家。正是同一个国家、同一部宪法和同一个未来把我们联系在一起。当我们一起努力的时候，美国的前途无可限量。

作为结束语，请允许我向得克萨斯州人民讲几句话：我们彼此认识的时间最长，你们是我旅程的起点。在得州广阔无垠的平原上，我初次学到了美国的特点：强壮有力、真诚坦率，充满了黎明般的希望。我将永远感谢这个州的优秀人民。不管前方的路怎么样，这条路都将带我回家。

选举已经结束，美国将充满自信地前进。我看到我们的国家正迎来伟大的日子，很期待下一周的开始。

愿上帝保佑你们，保佑美国！
