美国历届总统就职演说之---第41任总统George Herbert Walker Bush的就职演讲稿
Inaugural Address of George Bush
Mr.Chief Justice, Mr.President, Vice President Quayle, Senator Mitchell, Speaker Wright, Senator Dole, Congressman Michel, and fellow citizens, neighbors, and friends: There is a man here who has earned a lasting place in our hearts and in our history.President Reagan, on behalf of our Nation, I thank you for the wonderful things that you have done for America.I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I placed my hand is the Bible on which he placed his.It is right that the memory of Washington be with us today, not only because this is our Bicentennial Inauguration, but because Washington remains the Father of our Country.And he would, I think, be gladdened by this day;for today is the concrete expression of a stunning fact: our continuity these 200 years since our government began.We meet on democracy's front porch, a good place to talk as neighbors and as friends.For this is a day when our nation is made whole, when our differences, for a moment, are suspended.And my first act as President is a prayer.I ask you to bow your heads:
Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love.Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely.Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: “Use power to help people.” For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name.There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people.Help us to remember it, Lord.Amen.I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise.We live in a peaceful, prosperous time, but we can make it better.For a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn;for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over.The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on.There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken.There are times when the future seems thick as a fog;you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right path.But this is a time when the future seems a door you can walk right through into a room called tomorrow.Great nations of the world are moving toward democracy through the door to freedom.Men and women of the world move toward free markets through the door to prosperity.The people of the world agitate for free expression and free thought through the door to the moral and intellectual satisfactions that only liberty allows.We know what works: Freedom works.We know what's right: Freedom is right.We know how to secure
a more just and prosperous life for man on Earth: through free markets, free speech, free elections, and the exercise of free will unhampered by the state.For the first time in this century, for the first time in perhaps all history, man does not have to invent a system by which to live.We don't have to talk late into the night about which form of government is better.We don't have to wrest justice from the kings.We only have to summon it from within ourselves.We must act on what we know.I take as my guide the hope of a saint: In crucial things, unity;in important things, diversity;in all things, generosity.America today is a proud, free nation, decent and civil, a place we cannot help but love.We know in our hearts, not loudly and proudly, but as a simple fact, that this country has meaning beyond what we see, and that our strength is a force for good.But have we changed as a nation even in our time? Are we enthralled with material things, less appreciative of the nobility of work and sacrifice?
My friends, we are not the sum of our possessions.They are not the measure of our lives.In our hearts we know what matters.We cannot hope only to leave our children a bigger car, a bigger bank account.We must hope to give them a sense of what it means to be a loyal friend, a loving parent, a citizen who leaves his home, his neighborhood and town better than he found it.What do we want the men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there? That we were more driven to succeed than anyone around us? Or that we stopped to ask if a sick child had gotten better, and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship?
No President, no government, can teach us to remember what is best in what we are.But if the man you have chosen to lead this government can help make a difference;if he can celebrate the quieter, deeper successes that are made not of gold and silk, but of better hearts and finer souls;if he can do these things, then he must.America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle.We as a people have such a purpose today.It is to make kinder the face of the Nation and gentler the face of the world.My friends, we have work to do.There are the homeless, lost and roaming.There are the children who have nothing, no love, no normalcy.There are those who cannot free themselves of enslavement to whatever addiction—drugs, welfare, the demoralization that rules the slums.There is crime to be conquered, the rough crime of the streets.There are young women to be helped who are about to become mothers of children they can't care for and might not love.They need our care, our guidance, and our education, though we bless them for choosing life.The old solution, the old way, was to think that public money alone could end these problems.But we have learned that is not so.And in any case, our funds are low.We have a deficit to bring down.We have more will than wallet;but will is what we need.We will make the hard choices, looking at what we have and perhaps allocating it differently, making our decisions based on honest need and prudent safety.And then we will do the wisest thing of all: We will turn to the only resource we have that in times of need always grows—the goodness and the courage of the American people.I am speaking of a new engagement in the lives of others, a new activism, hands-on and involved, that gets the job done.We must bring in the generations, harnessing the unused talent of the elderly and the unfocused energy of the young.For not only leadership is passed from generation to generation, but so is stewardship.And the generation born after the Second World War has come of age.I have spoken of a thousand points of light, of all the community organizations that are spread like stars throughout the Nation, doing good.We will work hand in hand, encouraging, sometimes leading, sometimes being led, rewarding.We will work on this in the White House, in the Cabinet agencies.I will go to the people and the programs that are the brighter points of light, and I will ask every member of my government to become involved.The old ideas are new again because they are not old, they are timeless: duty, sacrifice, commitment, and a patriotism that finds its expression in taking part and pitching in.We need a new engagement, too, between the Executive and the Congress.The challenges before us will be thrashed out with the House and the Senate.We must bring the Federal budget into balance.And we must ensure that America stands before the world united, strong, at peace, and fiscally sound.But, of course, things may be difficult.We need compromise;we have had dissension.We need harmony;we have had a chorus of discordant voices.For Congress, too, has changed in our time.There has grown a certain divisiveness.We have seen the hard looks and heard the statements in which not each other's ideas are challenged, but each other's motives.And our great parties have too often been far apart and untrusting of each other.It has been this way since Vietnam.That war cleaves us still.But, friends, that war began in earnest a quarter of a century ago;and surely the statute of limitations has been reached.This is a fact: The final lesson of Vietnam is that no great nation can long afford to be sundered by a memory.A new breeze is blowing, and the old bipartisanship must be made new again.To my friends—and yes, I do mean friends—in the loyal opposition—and yes, I mean loyal: I put out my hand.I am putting out my hand to you, Mr.Speaker.I am putting out my hand to you, Mr.Majority Leader.For this is the thing: This is the age of the offered hand.We can't turn back clocks, and I don't want to.But when our fathers were young, Mr.Speaker, our differences ended at the water's edge.And we don't wish to turn back time, but when our mothers were young, Mr.Majority Leader, the Congress and the Executive were capable of working together to produce a budget on which this nation could live.Let us negotiate soon and hard.But in the end, let us produce.The American people await action.They didn't send us here to bicker.They ask us to rise above the merely partisan.“In crucial things, unity”—and this, my friends, is crucial.To the world, too, we offer new engagement and a renewed vow: We will stay strong to protect the peace.The “offered hand” is a reluctant fist;but once made, strong, and can be used with great effect.There are today Americans who are held against their will in foreign lands, and Americans who are unaccounted for.Assistance can be shown here, and will be long remembered.Good will begets good will.Good faith can be a spiral that endlessly moves on.Great nations like great men must keep their word.When America says something, America means it, whether a treaty or an agreement or a vow made on marble steps.We will always try to speak clearly, for candor is a compliment, but subtlety, too, is good and has its place.While keeping our alliances and friendships around the world strong, ever strong, we will continue the new closeness with the Soviet Union, consistent both with our security and with progress.One might say that our new relationship in part reflects the triumph of hope and strength over experience.But hope is good, and so are strength and vigilance.Here today are tens of thousands of our citizens who feel the understandable satisfaction of those who have taken part in democracy and seen their hopes fulfilled.But my thoughts have been turning the past few days to those who would be watching at home, to an older fellow who will throw a salute by himself when the flag goes by, and the women who will tell her sons the words of the battle hymns.I don't mean this to be sentimental.I mean that on days like this, we remember that we are all part of a continuum, inescapably connected by the ties that bind.Our children are watching in schools throughout our great land.And to them I say, thank you for watching democracy's big day.For democracy belongs to us all, and freedom is like a beautiful kite that can go higher and higher with the breeze.And to all I say: No matter what your circumstances or where you are, you are part of this day, you are part of the life of our great nation.A President is neither prince nor pope, and I don't seek a window on men's souls.In fact, I yearn for a greater tolerance, an easy-goingness about each other's attitudes and way of life.There are few clear areas in which we as a society must rise up united and express our intolerance.The most obvious now is drugs.And when that first cocaine was smuggled in on a ship, it may as well have been a deadly bacteria, so much has it hurt the body, the soul of our country.And there is much to be done and to be said, but take my word for it: This scourge will stop.And so, there is much to do;and tomorrow the work begins.I do not mistrust the future;I do not fear what is ahead.For our problems are large, but our heart is larger.Our challenges are great, but our will is greater.And if our flaws are endless, God's love is truly boundless.Some see leadership as high drama, and the sound of trumpets calling, and sometimes it is that.But I see history as a book with many pages, and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning.The new breeze blows, a page turns, the story unfolds.And so today a chapter begins, a small and stately story of unity, diversity, and generosity—shared, and written, together.Thank you.God bless you and God bless the United States of America.
第二篇:老布什访华演讲
Toast at Welcoming Banquet
George Bush
May 7, 1982
I want to first thank you for a superlative dinner and magnificent hospitality.These are among the hallmarks of China.Barbara and I have a special regard and personal friendship for the people of China.Beijing is for us an old and nostalgic home.During our stay here we spent a great deal of time with the people—working, shopping, sightseeing, and the endless hours we spent touring the city on our bicycles.During that time we never experienced anything other than the utmost courtesy and genuine friendship of the people.Those were happy days.They were good days, important days.We were part of the dramatic process which brought our two countries back together and set us on the road to full normalization of relations between the United States and China.It started with what Americans affectionately refer to as ping pong diplomacy.It moved through the decade of rapprochement.When relations between our governments and peoples expanded in such a dramatic fashion that they captured the full attention of the entire world.President Reagan in his recent letter to Premier Zhao, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Shanghai Communique, rightly observed that our relationship now extends into almost every field of human endeavor.This should come as no surprise.Your late Premier and esteemed statesman, Zhou Enlai, in welcoming President Nixon to China more than 10 years ago commented that, “the Chinese people are a great people and the American people are a great people.” Zhou Enlai’s words are as correct today as they were then.If he were still with us, he would be pleased with the progress we have made as our nations and our peoples become closer.Following the Shanghai Communique of 1972, relations between our two countries prospered, matured and evolved in such a way that the establishment of full diplomatic relations was the logical conclusion.Normalization brought with it recognition by the United States that the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government of China and acknowledged the Chinese position that there is but one-China and that Taiwan is a part of China.This understanding is strongly supported by President Reagan along with the one China policy established in both the Shanghai and Joint Normalization Communiques.As representatives of two great peoples we not only have the opportunity but the obligation to make major contributions to the cause of global peace.It must be remembered that we share not only common interest in the face of hegemonist expansionism, but we share a common responsibility.We in the United States believe that our real strength as a nation lies not so much in our Army, or our Navy or the size of our national economy.It rests in the decency, and compassion of our people.It rests also in the value of our world.The president asked me to come to China because of the vital importance he places on the United States-China relations and because of his strong personal commitment to building an enduring relationship---one based on equality and mutual trust and understanding.While we are not so naïve as to believe that there are not some issues of difference to be discussed, I also believe, as does the President, that our differences are greatly overshadowed by issues which bind us and strengthen our relationship.My visit is a symbol of the good faith with which we seek to build upon the strength of our friendship, our cultural and commercial ties and our important strategic relationship.Events of the past decade have confirmed time and time again that American and Chinese friendship and cooperation will flourish through the rest of this century and beyond.

就职演讲稿
各位领导、老师同学们:
大家晚上好!我是新一届自律会主任李明巍。
此时此刻,站在这里,我思绪万千。坦白的说,接过闪耀着激情与光辉的旗帜,接过这沉甸甸的责任与嘱托,我的心情复杂而凝重。首先我必须感谢自律会,感谢老师和同学们给予的信任与支持。两年来,目睹着各部门不断的开拓与发展,各项规章制度的逐渐完善,各个朋友的不断成熟,我也在其中不断的成长。与自律会共同走过的每段路途,都在我生命的旅程中留下前进的轨迹。而今天站在这里接受重任,不仅是对我成长的检验,更是我对自己的一次挑战。为此,我可以承诺,对即将为自律会付出的一切,我无怨无悔。
自律会是在学生处的直接领导和正确指导下开展工作的学生组织,是切实为同学服务的团体。我校第七届自律会是开拓创新不断进取的一届,更是取得辉煌成绩的一届。正如源祥主任所说的各项工作和活动,都在进一步的不断完善,也都取得了优秀的成绩。对我印象最深的是,自律会的两个大型活动“社区文化节”和“社区吉尼斯”的成功举办,丰富的同学们的社区生活,同时也为同学们提供了展示自己才艺的舞台。当然我们的成就不仅只体现在这两个大型活动上,各部门开展的各项日常工作和活动都是非常有意义的,就如:督导部的查违规电器减轻了社区的安全隐患、管理部的卫生检查促进了社区的美化、权益部的3.15活动提高了同学们的维权意识、社区生活报的文章丰富了同学们的精神文化生活,等等。眼前的成就都是从各部
门平凡的日常工作中取得,是所有第七届成员共同努力地结果。
当然在取得以上成绩的同时,由于时间有限和其他客观原因,自律会在发展的道路中也存在着一些问题。刚才源祥主任已经说了很多了,我这里在强调三点。1自律会各部门在工作的交流与合作还有所不足。2各部门成员在工作职责不够明确,考核制度不够完善,致使部门成员在工做中缺少准则等。3由于我们的工作性质,很多工作不被同学理解,造成成员们的工作激情有所减弱。
前人优秀的方面我们需要传承与发扬,不足的地方我们需要改善与创新,针对以上存在的问题,新学年我打算采取以下措施:1通过各种方法增强各部门的各项交流,比如校自律会各部门座谈交流会、趣味小互动、友谊拔河赛等等 2通过对考核制度的完善,加强对自律会全体干部、委员的考核,调动大家的积极性,让日后的工作做到有据可依。3在做好本职工作的同时,做好各项宣传,将我们的工作与同学们形成互动,努力一同建设和谐社区4还有其他的不足在新学年的工作中,我会用我的行动逐一做好。
自律会是把神圣火炬,我们每个人都是火炬手。接下本届自律会承前启后的一棒,新的团队,新的机遇,新的挑战,我深知肩上的任务之重。我可以并希望大家也能充分预见到,在今后的工作中,我们将面临各种压力与挑战,我们必须有魄力、有信心、有步骤地一一克服。压力很大,但我们永不放弃超越。每个人的力道虽然微薄,但自律会集体的能量是巨大的。
“聚是一团火,散是满天星。”面对如此优秀、团结的队伍,我不必再说多么美好的誓言。‘低调做人,高调做事’,这是我欣赏的一句话,也将成为我对自律会的诠释。今晚此刻我有一个梦想,希望在座的新一届自律会成员、特别是10级的新生,你们是自律会的明天,是自律会的未来。我相信通过我们的努力,在自律会这个温暖的大家庭中,我们可以继续不断完善自己、磨练自己、施展自己。我们将一道尽自己的智慧与力量去拼搏、去奋斗,去争取一颗平常心,一步一个脚印地完成蜕去稚嫩、走向成熟的心路历程,做好我们自律会。
再次感谢学生处领导对我们的栽培,感谢同学们对我们的信任,我们不会辜负大家的厚望。我们会用自己的行动,让你们看到一个崭新的自律会。谢谢!
第四篇:就职演讲
尊敬的各位领导,老师,亲爱的同学们:
大家晚上好!很荣幸能站在这里参加管院学生会的就职演讲,更要感谢大家对我的支持和信任,谢谢大家!首先,做一下自我介绍,我叫房宏扬,来自于09级工程管理1班,很荣幸担任实践部部长。
实践部是一个充满了激情与挑战的展现自己的平台。让同学们在实践中学习,在实践中成长,在实践中锻炼自己,在努力与坚持之后更加成熟。实践部是同学们参加各项实践活动的窗口,负责学生会的保障工作及开展实践活动,是一个旨在加强学生与社会交流、丰富广大学生课余生活的职能部门。
俗话讲,“没有金刚钻,不揽瓷器活”,我相信今天上台的各位都是各部的佼佼者,对于我而言,长达一年的实践部的工作经历,使我对实践部的各项工作得到了进一步的了解,能力也得到了很大的提高,但是人的能力要在充足的空间下,才能充分的发挥,否则将会“骈死与槽枥之间”所以我希望自己站在更高的位置上,看的更远些,发挥更大的作用,去带领实践部,把实践部的工作搞的更好更出色。
我将从以下几方面开展我的工作:
一,抓住根本,经常搞一些与实践有关的各类活动,让每一位同学都参与到实践活动中,真正的去体验实践活动所带来的乐趣,另外要向同学们大力宣传实践活动所带来的好处,增加同学们的积极性。
二,挖掘部门中各干事潜力,让每一位学生会的干事都参与到活动中,真正实现锻炼到每一位干事的目标.多举办一些活动,使我们部承担的各项活动,扩大规模,以提高我们部门在全院的影响力.三,发挥本部特色,加强与其他部的联系共同搞好学生工作。
我将努力加强自身修养,努力提高完善自身素质,我将时时要求自己待人正直,公正做事,时时要求自己,严以律己,宽以待人,我要力争学生干部的职责与个人品德同时到位。
凭借一年以来在学生会的工作经验,凭借我对实践部工作的热情,我确信自己一定能胜任实践部部长一职
最后,我真诚的希望大家,相信我,支持我,赋予我这次展示才能的机会。
谢谢大家!

尊敬的师兄师姐,亲爱的同学们
大家早上好
今天,很荣幸站在这个神圣的讲台上竞选学生会的换届选举,我是13美术教育1班的罗伟星,我竞选的职位是心促部部长。
在心促部工作近一年的我,参加过许许多多的心理活动,例如团体素质培训,参与心理活动周和心理活动月的策划与工作,主持过心委交流会,也曾支援其他部门的活动。在工作上我认真负责,谨慎细心。同时在心促部的这一年中,我学到了不仅是对心理咨询的理论和技术,还有为人处世的准则,待人接物的态度,最重要的我学会了“少说空话,多做事。” 在我看来,学生会干部就是为学生服务的,有一份热就要放一分光。也许你会问:我凭什么竞选呢?我的回答是:我有三颗心。那就是对工作的热心,认真负责的责任心,和不断向上的进取心。
假如我当选上部长这一职,我将会以饱满的热情和积极的心态去对待每一件事情。积极的开展心理活动,时刻关注学生的生活和心理状况。认真贯彻我们学生会的服务精神。
除此之外,我还会加强心促部的体制。每周都开个部门会议,对这周内心促部干事的活动进行评估和建议,通过部门成员间的互评反应情况,指出他们在工作中的优点和缺点,我会以朋友的身份与他们商讨解决方案并制定出下阶段计划。还会经常与他们谈心,彼此交流对生活、工作的看法。我会带领好我的干事们努力工作,更好的为大家服务,一起营造一个有利学生身心健康的良好氛围。
关于竞选心促部部长,我不想再给大家过多的承诺,因为承诺在付诸实践之前都是一张白纸,我更希望能有机会用实践证明这一切,也希望大家给我这个机会,谢谢大家
