丘吉尔二战著名演讲

1、丘吉尔二战闻名演讲：热血、汗水和眼泪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首领艾德礼，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，发表了闻名的讲话：“我没有不的，只有热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水献给大伙儿你们问：我们的目的是什么？我能够用一个词来答复：胜利，不惜一切代价去争取胜利，不管多么恐惧也要争取胜利，不管道路多么遥远困难，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。演讲全文：On Friday evening las

2、t I received from His Majesty最高元首 the mission to form a new administration行政机构.上星期五晚上，我奉陛下之命，组织新的一届政府。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.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。I h

3、ave 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.我差不多完成了这项任务的最要紧的部分。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。It was necessary that this should be done in one single day

4、on account of为的缘故 the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting服从、呈递 a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.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。我希望改日就能完成几位

5、要紧大臣的任命。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各方面.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。I considered it in the public interest to sugg

6、est to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of todays 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尽快.为公众利益着想，我建议议长今天就召开国会。今天的

7、议程结束时，建议休会到5月21日，并预备在必要时提早开会。有关事项当会及早通知各位议员。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:现在我请求国会作出决议，批准我所采取的各项步骤，启发记录在案，同时声明信任新政府。决议如下：That this House welcomes the formation of a government represent

8、ing代表 the united一致的 and inflexible不屈不挠的 resolve of the nation to prosecute依法进行 the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.“本国会欢迎新政府的组成，她体现了举国一致的坚决不移的决心：对德作战，直到最后胜利。”To form an administration of this scale规模 and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself本质上. But we are in the preliminary Phas

9、e 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在国内.组织如此规模和如此复杂的政府原本是一项重大的任务。然而我们正处于历史上罕见的一场大战的初始时期。我们在其他许多地点作战在

10、挪威，在荷兰，我们还必须在地中海做好预备。空战正在接着，而且在本土也必须做好许多预备工作。In this crisis危险关头 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 o

11、f ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.值此危险关头，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阻碍的朋友、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。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考验 of t

12、he most grievous痛苦的、严厉的 kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.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。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 give

13、n us, and to wage war against a monstrous巨大的 tyranny残暴的行为 never surpassed凌驾 in the dark and lamentable可悲的 catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.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，尽上帝给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。这确实是我们的政策。You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, It is victor

14、y. Victory at all costs-victory in spite of不管 all terrors-victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival幸存.若问我们的目标是什么？我能够用一个词来回答，那确实是胜利。不惜一切代价，去夺取胜利不惧一切恐惧，去夺取胜利不论前路如何漫长、如何困难，去夺取胜利。因为没有胜利就不能生存。Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survi

15、val for all that the British Empire has stood for代表、支持, no survival for the urge强烈欲望, the impulse冲动 of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.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。I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our ca

16、use will not be suffered to fail among men.我精神振奋、满怀信心地承担起我的任务。我确信，大伙儿联合起来，我们的事业就可不能遭到挫败。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团结一致的力量.在现在此刻的危险关头，我觉得我有权要求各方面的支持。我要讲：“来吧，让我们群策群力，并肩前进！史上最狂妄的演讲甲骨文

17、公司总裁Larry Ellison在耶鲁大学的演讲Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a good look around you. Look at the classmate on your left在左边. Look at the classmate on your right在右边.Now, consider this设想一下: five

18、years from now从现在起, 10 years from now, even thirty years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude以优等成绩毕业者. In fact, as I look out before

19、 me today, I dont see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I dont see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers. Youre upset. Thats understandable. After all, how can I,Lawrence Larry Ellison, college dropout辍学, have the audacity大胆的 to spout such heresy异端 to the

20、graduating class of one of the nations most prestigious有名望的 institutions?Ill tell you why. Because I, Lawrence Larry Ellison, second richest man on the planet在那个星球上, am college dropout, and you are not. Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet-for now anyway-is a college dropout, and you are no

21、t. Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not. And for good measure另外, because Michael Dell, No.9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.Hmm . youre very upset. Thats understandable. So let me stroke you

22、r Egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain徒然. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what youve learned and endured will serve服务、发球 you well in the years ahead. Youve established good work habits. Youve est

23、ablished a network of people that will help you down the road. And youve established what will be lifelong终身的 relationships with the word therapy疗法. All that of is good.For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy. You will need them be

24、cause you didnt drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to 10 or 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I dont have to tell you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late blo

25、omer开花植物.Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, Are wondering, Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all? Actually, no. Its too late. Youve absorbed too much, think you know too much. Youre not 9 anymore. You have a built-in cap,and Im not referring

26、to the mortarboards on your heads头上的学士帽.Hmm . youre really very upset. Thats understandable. So perhaps this Could be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of 00. You are a write-off, so Ill let you slink溜走 off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your cheques will be

27、 signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago. Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I cant stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and dont come back. Drop out. Start up. For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you d

28、own just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down.(At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.)耶鲁的毕业生们，我专门抱歉-假如你们不喜爱如此的开场白。我想请你们为我做一件事。请你-好好看一看周围，看一看站在你左边的同学，看一看站在你右边的同学。请你设想如此的情况：从现在起5年之后，10年之后，或30年之后，今天站在你左边的那个人会是一个失败者；右边的那个人，同样，也是个失败者。而你，站在中间的家伙，你以

29、为会如何样？一样是失败者。失败的经历。失败的优等生。讲实话，今天我站在那个地点，并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂以后。我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者，我只看到了一千个失败者。你们感到沮丧，这是能够理解的。什么缘故，我，埃里森，一个退学生，难道在美国最具声望的学府里如此厚颜地散布异端？ 我来告诉你缘故。因为，我，埃里森，那个行星上第二富有的人，是个退学生，而你不是。因为比尔盖茨，那个行星上最富有的人-就目前而言-是个退学 生，而你不是。因为艾伦，那个行星上第三富有的人，也退了学，而你没有。再来一点证据吧，因为戴尔，那个行星上第九富有的人-他的排位还在不断上升， 也是个退学生。而你，不是。你们

30、特不沮丧，这是能够理解的。你们今后需要这些有用的工作适应。你今后需要这种“治疗”。你需要它们，因为你没辍学，因此你永久可不能成为世界上最富有的人。哦，因此，你能够，也许， 以你的方式进步到第10位，第11位，就像Steve。只是，我没有告诉你他在为谁工作，是吧？依照记载，他是研究生时辍的学，开化得稍晚了些。现在，我猜想你们中间专门多人，也许是绝大多数人，正在琢磨，能做什么？我究竟有没有前途？因此没有。太晚了，你们差不多汲取了太多东西，以为自己明白得太多。你们再也不是19岁了。你们有了内置的帽子，哦，我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。 嗯.你们差不多特不沮丧啦。这是能够理解的。因此，现在可能是讨论

31、实质的时候啦-绝不是为了你们，2000年毕业生。你们差不多被报销，不予考虑了。我想，你们就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20万的悲伤工作吧，在那儿，工资单是由你两年前辍学的同班同学签字开出来的。事实上，我是寄希望于眼下还没有毕业 的同学。我要对他们讲，离开那个地点。收拾好你的东西，带着你的点子，不再回来。退学吧，开始行动。我要告诉你，一顶帽子一套学位服必定要让你沦落.就像这些保安立即要把我从那个讲台上撵走一样必定.（现在，拉里埃里森被带离了讲台）I have been to the mountaintop马丁路德金：Thank you very kindly, my friends. As I liste

32、ned to Ralph Abernathy and his eloquent雄辩 and generous大方的 introduction and then thought about myself想到我自己, I wondered who he was talking about谈论. Its always good to have your closest friend and associate to say something good about you. And Ralph Abernathy is the best friend that I have in the world

33、. Im delighted to see each of you here tonight in spite of 尽管a storm warning. You reveal揭露 that you are determined to go on anyhow.Something is happening in Memphis; something is happening in our world. And you know, if I were standing at the beginning of time, with the possibility of taking a kind

34、of 一种general and panoramic view of the whole of human history up to now, and the Almighty said to me, Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in? I would take my mental flight by Egypt and I would watch Gods children in their magnificent trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or

35、rather 更精确地讲across the Red Sea, through the wilderness on toward the promised land希望之乡. And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldnt stop there.I would move on by Greece and take my mind to Mount Olympus. And I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanes assembled around the Part

36、henon. And I would watch them around the Parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality. But I wouldnt stop there.I would go on, even to the great heyday of the Roman Empire. And I would see developments around there, through various emperors and leaders. But I wouldnt stop ther

37、e.I would even come up to the day of the Renaissance, and get a quick picture of all that the Renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man. But I wouldnt stop there.I would even go by the way that the man for whom I am named 和我相同名字的那个人had his habitat. And I would watch Martin Luther as

38、 he tacked his ninety-five theses on the door at the church of Wittenberg. But I wouldnt stop there.I would come on up even to 1863, and watch a vacillating President by the name of Abraham Lincoln finally come to the conclusion得出结论 that he had to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. But I wouldnt st

39、op there.I would even come up to the early thirties, and see a man grappling with努力克服 the problems of the bankruptcy of his nation. And come with an eloquent cry that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. But I wouldnt stop there.Strangely enough讲来也惊奇, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, If yo

40、u allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century20世纪的后半期, I will be happy.Now thats a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up刻薄、混乱. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around. Thats a strange statement. But I know, somehow, that o

41、nly when it is dark enough can you see the stars. And I see God working in this period of the twentieth century in a way 某种程度上that men, in some strange way, are responding.Something is happening in our world. The masses of people are rising up觉醒. And wherever they are assembled today, whether they a

42、re in Johannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee - the cry口号 is always the same: We want to be free.And another reason that Im happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are

43、going to have to grapple with克服 the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didnt force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now多年来, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it.

44、 It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; its nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.And also in the human rights revolution, if something isnt done, and done in a hurry匆忙, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty困境

45、, their long years of hurt and neglect忽略怠慢, the whole world is doomed注定. Now, Im just happy that God has allowed me to live in this period to see what is unfolding. And Im happy that Hes allowed me to be in Memphis.I can remember - I can remember when Negroes were just going around as Ralph has said

46、, so often, scratching where they didnt itch, and laughing when they were not tickled. But that day is all over. We mean business不是开玩笑 now, and we are determined to gain our rightful place in Gods world.And thats all this whole thing is about. We arent engaged in any negative否定 protest抗议 and in any

47、negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men. We are determined to be people. We are saying - We are saying that we are Gods children. And that we are Gods children, we dont have to live like we are forced to live.Now, what does all of this mean in this great perio

48、d of history? It means that weve got to stay together. Weve got to stay together and maintain unity保持团结. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whe

49、never the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaohs court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, thats the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity让我们保持团结.Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are. The issue is injustice. The iss

50、ue is the refusal of Memphis to be fair and honest in its dealings with处理 its public servants公职人员, who happen to be sanitation workers环卫工人. Now, weve got to keep attention on that. Thats always the problem with a little violence. You know what happened the other day不久前一天, and the press dealt only wi

51、th the window-breaking. I read the articles. They very seldom got around to mentioning the fact that one thousand, three hundred sanitation workers are on strike罢工, and that Memphis is not being fair to them, and that Mayor Loeb is in dire need of急需 a doctor. They didnt get around to that.Now were g

52、oing to march again, and weve got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is supposed to被期望 be - and force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of Gods children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through熬过 dark and dreary nights wondering how this thing is going to

53、come out. Thats the issue. And weve got to say to the nation: We know how its coming out. For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point停止点 short of 缺乏victory.We arent going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our no

54、nviolent movement in disarming police forces; they dont know what to do. Ive seen them so often. I remember in Birmingham, Alabama, when we were in that majestic struggle there, we would move out of the 16th Street Baptist Church day after day; by the hundreds we would move out. And Bull Connor woul

55、d tell them to send the dogs forth, and they did come; but we just went before the dogs singing, Aint gonna let nobody turn me around.Bull Connor next would say, Turn the fire hoses on. And as I said to you the other night, Bull Connor didnt know history. He knew a kind of physics that somehow didnt

56、 relate to the transphysics that we knew about. And that was the fact that there was a certain kind of fire that no water could put out. And we went before the fire hoses; we had known water. If we were Baptist or some other denominations, we had been immersed. If we were Methodist, and some others,

57、 we had been sprinkled, but we knew water. That couldnt stop us.And we just went on before the dogs and we would look at them; and wed go on before the water hoses and we would look at it, and wed just go on singing Over my head I see freedom in the air. And then we would be thrown in the paddy wago

58、ns, and sometimes we were stacked in there like sardines in a can. And they would throw us in, and old Bull would say, Take em off, and they did; and we would just go in the paddy wagon singing, We Shall Overcome. And every now and then wed get in jail, and wed see the jailers looking through the wi

59、ndows being moved by our prayers, and being moved by our words and our songs. And there was a power there which Bull Connor couldnt adjust to; and so we ended up transforming Bull into a steer, and we won our struggle in Birmingham.Now weve got to go on in Memphis just like that. I call upon you to

60、be with us when we go out Monday.Now about injunctions: We have an injunction and were going into court tomorrow morning to fight this illegal, unconstitutional injunction. All we say to America is, Be true to what you said on paper. If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, m
