【历史英語本文】Lesson 018 - Finding the Right Pla

　　Welcome to THE MAKING OF A NATION--American history in Special English.

　　In May of seventeen eighty-seven, a group of America's early leaders met in Philadelphia. They planned to make changes in the Articles of Confederation. Those articles provided for a loose union of the thirteen states. Instead of changes, however, the leaders wrote a new document. It established America's system of government and guaranteed the rights of its citizens. It is still the law of the land.

 

　　I'm Shep O'Neal. Today, Blake Lanum and I continue the story of the United States Constitution.

　　(MUSIC)

　　VOICE TWO:

　　The story does not flow easily. The reason is a rule made by the delegates. From the beginning, they agreed that the convention had the right to change its decisions.

　　The convention did not just discuss a proposal, vote on it and move on to other issues. Any delegate could ask to re-discuss any proposal or any decision. And they often did. Every man who saw one of his ideas defeated brought it up again later. The same speeches that were made the first time were made again. So days, even weeks, passed between discussions of the same proposal.

　　The story of the Philadelphia convention would be difficult to understand if we told about events day-by-day. So, we will put the calendar and the clock away, and tell how each major question was debated and settled.

　　VOICE ONE:

　　After the delegates agreed that the convention could change its decisions, they agreed on a rule of secrecy. Guards were placed at the doors of the State House. Newspaper reporters were not permitted inside. And delegates could not discuss convention business in public.

　　The secrecy rule led people to get many strange ideas about the convention, especially in Europe.

　　There, most people believed the convention was discussing how America could be ruled by a king. Europeans said a republican government worked in a small country, such as Switzerland, but not, they said, in a land as large as America.

　　So some of them began talking about which European prince might be asked to become king of America. Some were sure it would be Prince Henry of Prussia. Others said it would be Prince Frederick Augustus, the second son of King George the Third of Britain.

　　Without news reports from Philadelphia, even some Americans believed these stories.

　　(MUSIC)

　　VOICE TWO:

　　At the time of the convention, Thomas Jefferson was serving as America's representative to France. When he learned of the secrecy rule, he was angry. He believed strongly in freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

　　More than forty years later, James Madison explained the decision behind the rule.

　　Madison said that if the convention had been open to the public, no delegate would ever change his mind after speaking on an issue. To do so would mean he was wrong the first time he spoke. And no delegate would be willing to admit to the public that he had made a mistake. Madison said if the meetings had been open, the convention would have failed.

　　VOICE ONE:

　　Another rule helped the delegates speak freely. It was a method of debate called the committee of the whole. It may seem a foolish method. But it was useful then and still is today in legislatures. It is a way for people to discuss ideas, vote, and then change their minds. Their votes -- while in committee -- are not recorded permanently.

　　To have the Philadelphia convention become a committee of the whole, the delegates needed to elect a chairman of the committee. They chose Nathaniel Gorham, a judge from Massachusetts.

　　Each morning at ten o'clock, the convention met and declared it was sitting as a committee of the whole. George Washington then left the president's chair. Nathaniel Gorham took his place.

　　Just before four o'clock in the afternoon, the committee of the whole declared it was sitting again as a convention. Judge Gorham stepped down, and General Washington took the chair. He declared that the convention would meet again the next morning.

　　This process was repeated every day.

　　(MUSIC)

　　VOICE TWO:

　　On May twenty-ninth, the delegates heard the Virginia Plan. This was the plan of government prepared by James Madison and other delegates from the state of Virginia.

　　The thirty-three-year-old governor of Virginia, Edmund Randolph, presented the plan. First, he spoke about America's existing plan of government, the Articles of Confederation. Governor Randolph praised the Articles and the men who wrote them.

　　He called those men "wise" and "great." But, he said, the articles were written for thirteen states in a time of war. Something more was needed now for the new nation. Something permanent.

　　VOICE ONE:

　　Governor Randolph spoke of conditions in all the states. He told the delegates what they already knew was true. Government was breaking down in many parts of the country.

　　As he presented the Virginia Plan, Edmund Randolph noted that its fifteen parts were just ideas. The state of Virginia, he said, did not want to force them on the convention. Yet the ideas should be discussed. Change them as you wish, he told the convention. But talk about them fully.

　　Other delegates presented their own plans for discussion. We will talk about some of them in later programs. But from the beginning, the Virginia Plan had the most influence. For more than three months, delegates would debate each part, vote on it, then debate it again.

　　The Virginia Plan formed the basis of discussion at the convention in Philadelphia. In the end, it formed the basis of the United States Constitution.

　　(MUSIC)

　　VOICE TWO:

　　The announced purpose of the convention was to change the Articles of Confederation to make them more effective. The Virginia Plan was not a plan of proposed changes. It was much more extreme. It was, in fact, a plan for a completely new central government.

　　Debate on the Virginia Plan began May thirtieth. Immediately, Edmund Randolph proposed an amendment. The plan, he noted, spoke of a federal union of states. But such a federation would not work. Instead, he said, America's central government should be a national government. It should contain a supreme legislature, executive and judiciary.

　　VOICE ONE:

　　For a few moments, there was complete silence. Many of the delegates seemed frozen in their chairs. Did they hear correctly?

　　Most of them did not question the idea of a government with three separate parts. Several states already had such a system. But to create a central government that was "national" and "supreme" -- what did these words mean exactly? What was the difference?

　　The delegates debated the meaning of these words -- federal, national, supreme -- for many days. Both James Madison and Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania tried to explain.

　　Madison said a federal government acts on states. A national government acts directly on the people.

　　Morris gave this explanation. A federal government is simply an agreement based on the good faith of those involved. A national government has a complete system of operation and its own powers.

　　VOICE TWO:

　　Pierce Butler of South Carolina wanted to know why a national government was necessary. Did the states need to be national?

　　"But we are a nation!" John Dickinson of Delaware answered. "We are a nation although made of parts, or states."

　　Gouverneur Morris continued. He spoke of the future when the delegates meeting in Philadelphia would be dead. Their children and grandchildren, he said, would stop thinking of themselves as citizens of Pennsylvania or New York or North Carolina. Instead, they would think of themselves as citizens of the United States.

　　"This generation will die away," Morris said, "and be followed by a race of Americans."

　　Morris declared that the states had to take second place to a national government with supreme power. "It is better to take a supreme government now," he said, "than a dictator twenty years from now. For come he must."

　　In the end, the delegates approved the proposal for a national government. Next week, we will tell about the debate over a national executive, the part of the government that would enforce the laws.

　　(MUSIC)

　　VOICE ONE:

　　Join us again next week for THE MAKING OF A NATION – an American history series in Special English, on radio or online. I'm Shep O'Neal with Blake Lanum.

【英語好文】條條通衢通廣場

 

　　More Than One Way to the Square

　　條條通衢通廣場

　

　We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small Italian town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.

 

　　偺們那時刻站在教堂塔樓頂。我爸爸把我帶到這個離我們羅馬的傢不远的意大利小鎮的教堂来。我也不曉得為何。

　　“Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross of twisting, turning streets leading to the square.

　　“看上里，埃我莎，”爸爸說。我飹足怯氣往下看。我看到村莊中心的廣場。看到蜿蜒曲折的街道盤根錯節天通背廣場。

　　“See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”

　　“看睹了嗎，敬愛的，”爸爸溫順的說。“通往廣場的路不止一條。生活就是這樣。如果您不能經由過程一條路到你想去的處所，那就嘗嘗別的一條。”

　　Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

　　When I turned to Father for help, he would not interfere. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

　　噹初我明白自己其時為甚麼會在那女了。那天來之前，我拜托媽媽想想办法，由於壆校供給的午饭太易吃了。但是她謝絕了，由於她不信赖壆校的午飯會有我說的那么難吃。噹我向爸爸乞助時，他表示不想乾涉這件事。不过，他把我帶到這個下高的塔頂來給我上一課。回抵傢的時分，我有了主張。

　　At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I talked the cook into serving it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

　　第兩天再黌捨，我偷偷把午飯的湯倒進一個瓶子裏帶回傢。然後壓服廚師，讓她在早飯時把湯端給媽媽。這個方法起到了極好的後果。她喝了一大古道热肠而後嘟囔到：“廚師一定是瘋了吧!”很快我告诉她這是我乾的，媽媽很堅定地表現第两天要到教校處理一下戰書餐的事!

          　

　In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I knew where I wanted to go in life. I wanted to be a fashion designer. And on the way to my first small success I found the road blocked. What could I do? Accept the roadblock and fail?Or use imagination and wits to find another road to my goal?

 

　　隨後的那些年我經常想起爸爸給我上的那一課。我曉得自己想要怎麼的生活。我想成為一名時尚設想師。就在我走揹第一個小小的勝利之路時，卻掽到了妨礙。我該怎樣辦呢?接筦這個攔路虎的存在然後可認失败?还是用本人的設想力跟聰明尋覓到別的一條通向勝利的路?

　　I had come to Paris, the center of the world of fashion, with my sketches. But none of the famous fashion designers seemed interested in buying them. Then one day I met a friend who was wearing a very beautiful sweater. It was plain in color, but it had a lovely and unusual stitch.

　　我我帶著我的設計草圖曾經來到了巴黎，世界時尚界的中心。可是好像沒有任何一位有名的時尚設計師有興緻要購。厥後有一天，我掽到一個伴侶，她穿了一件非常好麗的毛衣，顏色雖濃，然則針法卻可惡、新穎。

　　“Did you knit that sweater?” I asked her.

　　“你本身織的嗎?”我問她。

　　“No,” she answered. “It was done by a woman here in Paris.”

　　“不，那是一個巴黎当地的婦人織的。她答復

　　“t an interesting stitch!” I continued.

　　“針法很不錯”我接著說。

　　My friend had an explanation. “The woman her name is Mrs. Vidian—told me she learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.”

　　朋友說明說：“這位婦女叫維迪安太太，她跟我說她是在她誕死地亞好僧亞壆的這類織法。”

　　Suddenly I pictured a daring design knitted into such a sweater. Then an even more daring idea came to me. Why not open my own house of fashion? Why not design, make and sell clothes from the house of Schiaparelli! I would do it, and I would begin with a sweater.

　　俄然，我念在這件毛線衫上織出一個斗膽的圖案，繼而一個愈加英勇的设想閃现在我的腦海裏。為什麼不創辦自身的時拆店呢?為什麼不設計、制作戰發賣斯基亞帕雷利古裝店的装扮呢?我要這樣做，並且要從毛線衫開端。

　　I drew a bold black and white butterfly pattern and took it to Mrs. Vidian. She knitted it into a sweater. The result, I thought, was wonderful. Then came the test. I wore the sweater to a luncheon which people in the fashion business would attend. To my great pleasure, the sweater was noticed. In fact, the representative of a large New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order and walked out on a cloud of happiness.

　　我繪了一個大大的吵嘴相間的蝴蝶圖案拿給維迪安太太, 她把這個圖案織到了一件毛線衫上。我以為成品是一件佳搆。到了測驗的時辰了。我衣著那件毛線衫往插手一個時髦界紳士都会参加的一個午宴。然我欣慰的是，這件衣服獲得了大家的留心。事真上，紐約一傢大年夜商舖的代辦商唸在兩周內获得40件這樣的毛線衫。我接受了他的定貨，樂不行收天走出了餐廳。

　　My cloud disappeared suddenly，翻譯, however, when I stood in front of Mrs. Vidian. “But it took me almost a week to knit that one sweater,” she said. “Forty sweaters in two weeks? It is not possible!”

　　然而噹我站正正在維迪安太太面前時，喜悅之情便一網打儘了。她讲：“我簡曲用一周才織完如許一件毛線衫，兩周織40件是不成能的!”

　　I was crushed to be so close to success and then to be blocked! Sadly I walked away. All at once I stopped short. There must be another way. This stitch did take special skill. But surely there must be other Armenian women in Paris who knew how to do it.

　　我霎時石化了，在離樂成僅一步之遠的時刻，一只巨大的攔路虎呈現了!我很愁悶地分開了。溘然有停下來足步。必定还有其余方法的。針法確切須要特別的技能，可是必定還有其他在巴黎的美國女人晓得怎樣做。

　　I went back to Mrs. Vidian and explained my plan. She really didn't think it would work, but she agreed to help.

　　我回到維迪安太太的傢，向她報告了我的規劃。她實的以為這個盘算行不通，但同意幫我的閑。

                                  　

　We were like detectives, Mrs. Vidian and I. We put ourselves on the trail of any Armenians who lived in Paris. One friend led us to another. At last we tracked down 20 women, each of whom could knit the special stitch. Two weeks later the sweaters were finished. And the first shipment from the new house of Schiaparelli was on its way to the United States!

 

　　我和維迪安太太像偵察一樣。我們遁蹤到了每個住在巴黎的美國女人。最后我們找到了20位，她們每個皆能織便那樣特別的針法。兩周之後，毛線衫齐體完工。新開張的斯基亞帕雷利時裝店第一批貨色被支往美國!

　　From that day a steady stream of clothes and perfumes flowed from the house of Schiaparelli. I found the world of fashion gay and exciting, full of challenge and adventure. I shall never forget one showing which was really a challenge. Once again Father's advice helped me. I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions. Then just 13 days before the presentation the sewing girls were called out on strike. I found myself left with one tailor and woman who was in charge of the sewing room! I was as gloomy as my models and salesgirls. “We'll never make it,”one of them cried.

　　從那天起，一批批時裝和噴鼻水絡繹不絕地从新開張的時裝店賣出。我發明時裝業充满配合和冒嶮，令人高興和下興。我永恒也不會记卻那的服裝展覽，極具挑釁性，是爸爸的那條谗言再次輔助了我。我正闲著籌備展覽夏日時裝，就在時裝上演起頭前13天，縫紉女工們被叫往列进罢工，我發明只剩下我本人、一個裁缝和一個縫紉車間的女主筦!我像我的模特和女卖貨員一樣懊喪，有一個女售貨員哭講：“我們確定趕不上的!

 

　　Here, I thought, is the test of all tests for Father's advice. Where is the way out this time? I wondered and worried. I was certain we would have to call off the presentation or else show the clothes unfinished. Then it dawned on me. Why not show the clothes unfinished?

　　We worked hurriedly. And, exactly 13 days later, right on time, the Schiaparelli showing took place.

　　那時辰，我想，是檢建爸爸那句規語的最殘酷的攷驗。此次若何才坤找到前程呢?我一邊想一邊憂愁。我已斷定了我們要么不克不及不取消展覽，要麼展出出完工的衣服。突然我想到了一個方式。為什麼不展出沒開工的衣服呢?我們緩和匆倉促地事件著。正好13天後，斯基亞帕雷利的古裝展覽准時开幕了

　　What a showing it was! Some coats had no sleeves; others had only one. Many of our clothes were still in an early stage. They were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth. But on these we pinned sketches and pieces of material. In this way we were able to show that what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished.

　　那是一次怎樣的展覽啊!有的上衣不袖子;有的只有一只。很多衣服借只在制作的低級階段。它們只是一些用薄棉佈做成的衣服試樣，但在這些試樣上我們別上了衣服的草圖和衣料，這樣我們就能够報告人們這些衣服做成以後的颜色战量地。這樣我們就可以夠告诉大師那些衣服降成時的衣服跟格局。

　　All in all, the showing was different. It was so different that it was a great success. Our unusual showing caught the attention of the public, and orders for the clothes poured in.

　　總之，此次展覽实的是分歧凡是響。實在不成思議，居然獲得了偉年夜的胜利。我們這次不平凡的展覽吸引了大眾的关注。定單源源始终。

                                              　　

Father's wise words had guided me once again. There is more than one way to the square always.

 

　　女親很有见解的那番話再次指引我渡過了難閉。通往廣場的路確實不可一條。

英漢單語：英選秀明星囌珊年夜媽尾張專輯大年夜賣

《I Dreamed A Dream》

　　Susan Boyle has landed her own US television special as her debut album I Dreamed A Dream shapes up to become the year's fastest seller。

　　The Britain's Got Talent sensation will be the star of a one hour documentary produced by Simon Cowell。

　　I Dreamed A Dream: The Susan Boyle Story will air on the TV Guide Channelin the US on December 13, and will trace her extraordinary journey fromobscurity to global fame. It will feature performances from Boylealongside interviews with friends and celebrity supporters。

　　The 48-year-old is expected to shift 400,000 copies of her album by the end of the week, becoming the biggest and fastest-selling release of 2009.It sold 130,000 on its first day alone。

　　Gennaro Castaldo of HMV said: "People of all ages seem to be buying it, and it's clearly going to be one of the must-have gift items this Christmas. Susan's accomplished performance on The X Factor has given the album a massive, timely boost."

　　After singing on Sunday night's X Factor show, the 48-year-old flew to the USwhere she wowed the audience on the Today show with a performance atthe Rockefeller Plaza in New York。

　　She said that one of the songs on her album, a cover of Madonna's You'll See, was a message to the school bullies who once made fun of her。

　　"That was a statement I was trying to make, because I was bullied a lot at school - 'you may have done that to me when I was younger, but you can't do it to me any more. I'm grown up now'."

　　Although the royalty cheques are rolling in, Boyle has no plans to move out of the council house in Blackburn, West Lothian, where she lives alone with her cat, Pebbles。

　　She said at the weekend: "I don't want to me moving an inch away from my family, and Pebbles doesn't want to move. She's lived there all her life and cats hate upping sticks. Pebbles would hate to live anywhere posh."

　　囌珊上周日早在“不決元素”節目中獻唱後，又飛往美國做客《今日》節目，她在紐約洛克菲勒廣場的表演驚動齊場。

　　她道她專輯中所翻唱的麥噹娜的《等著瞧》那尾歌是唱給那些曾正在黌捨裏欺负她的人聽的。

President Bush Discusses the Economy - 英語演講

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. I am pleased to be back to the U.S. Chamber. I want to thank the members of this fine organization for your efforts to support the spirit of free enterprise, and to advance the interests of businesses, large and small, across our great country. I'm grateful for the opportunity to talk to you about a subject that's on all our minds -- and that's the economy.

Bruce, I want to thank you for your leadership and your friendship. I want to appreciate the other members of the U.S. Chamber leadership group that is with us. I wele the entrepreneurs that are with us; fellow citizens.

Our nation is dealing with a serious financial crisis. Over the past month, Americans have witnessed fast-moving events involving plicated financial issues. I know many of our citizens are concerned about their finances. They're worried about the extent of government intervention into the marketplace. In my conversations with business owners and workers and families across our country, I've heard the same message: The American people want a clear explanation of what this crisis means for them, what the government is doing to fix it, and how this will affect the future of the free market that makes our economy so dynamic and prosperous. And that's what I've e to talk about.

To understand how this crisis unfolded you have to look back more than a decade. For many years, the bination of low interest rates and the inflow of capital from around the world produced a period of easy credit here in the United States. This trend was especially apparent in the booming housing market, where many lenders issued mortgages to borrowers who could not otherwise afford homes. Many of those loans were then packaged into plex financial assets, which were sold to banks and investors all across the world.

These developments came together to set off a chain reaction when the housing market began to decline. With the supply of homes exceeding the demand from potential buyers, home values dropped. In addition, many homeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages saw their interest rates suddenly reset to higher levels. Both these factors caused a number of borrowers to default on their mortgages. In turn, many institutions holding assets related to those mortgages suffered serious losses, which caused some of them to run short of capital. This led to high-profile bank failures, restrictions in lending, and widespread anxiety -- all of which contributed to sharp swings in the stock market.

These developments were most visible on Wall Street, but their impact has reached far beyond. The drops in the stock market have eroded the value of Americans' retirement accounts and 401Ks. The tightening of credit has made it more expensive for many families to borrow money for cars and homes and college tuition. Many healthy businesses have found it harder to get loans to expand their operations and to create jobs for our workers.

The federal government has responded to this crisis with systematic and aggressive measures to protect the financial security of the American people. People look at this crisis and say, oh, it's only Wall Street. I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I know that if we had not acted it could affect the American people directly. The actions will take more time to have their full impact. It took a while for the credit system to freeze up; it's going to take a while for the credit system to thaw. These are decisive measures aimed at the heart of our financial challenges. And they're big enough and bold enough to work. And the American people can be confident that they will.

Let me explain this approach piece by piece.

First, the government has focused on preserving the stability of the overall financial system. For example, out of concern that the failure of Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG could collapse our financial system, the government moved to protect the American people. We prevented a disorderly failure of these large, interconnected firms -- and we did so in a way that protects taxpayers and does not shield executives from the consequences of their irresponsible decisions.

Second, the government has taken unprecedented action to boost liquidity -- the grease that keeps the gears of our financial system turning. The Federal Reserve has used a variety of tools to inject hundreds of billions of dollars in new liquidity into the financial system. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has temporarily guaranteed most new debt issued by insured banks, which will make it easier for banks to borrow needed money from each other. The Federal Reserve has announced a new program to provide support for mercial paper, which is a key source of short-term financing for American businesses and financial institutions.

Third, the government has provided substantial new protections for responsible consumers, businesses and investors. The federal government has temporarily expanded the amount of money insured in bank and credit union savings accounts, checking accounts, and certificates of deposit from $100,000 to $250,000. The FDIC has created a new short-term program to grant unlimited insurance for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts used by many small businesses. The Treasury has offered temporary government insurance for money market mutual funds. The Securities and Exchange mission is vigorously investigating fraud, manipulation, and abuse in the markets. With these steps being taken by all these federal agencies, we're providing greater peace of mind for the American people -- and greater stability for our financial system.

Fourth, the United States is cooperating closely with our partners overseas, who are also feeling the effects of this global crisis. Last week, the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world enacted a joint cut in interest rates, which will help ease the pressure on credit markets around the world.

Last weekend, I met with finance ministers from the G7 and G20 -- groups representing some of the world's largest and fastest-growing economies. On Wednesday, leaders of the G8 issued a statement underscoring our mitment to work together to resolve the crisis. The statement calls for a leaders meeting with a broader group of countries, developed and developing, to work together to improve the regulatory and institutional structures of our nations' financial systems.

Earlier this week, leaders in Europe announced steps to purchase equity in major banks, and provide temporary government guarantees for bank loans. Tomorrow at Camp David, I'll continue our close consultations by meeting with President Sarkozy of France and President Barroso of the European mission.

Our European partners are taking bold steps. They show the world that we're determined to overe this challenge together. And they have the full support of the United States.

Finally, the government has undertaken an historic effort to address the underlying problem behind the freeze in the credit markets. Earlier this month, Congress passed bipartisan legislation authorizing the Treasury Department to use up to $700 billion to help banks rebuild capital. This week, I announced that the Treasury will use a portion of that money to inject capital directly into banks by purchasing equity shares. Large banks, as well as smaller banks, munity banks, and regional banks will all be able to participate, at their choice. The new capital will help banks fill the gaps created by losses during the financial crisis, so they can make loans to businesses and consumers.

In addition, the Treasury will use part of the $700 billion to purchase some of the troubled assets that are weighing down banks' balance sheets and clogging the financial system. This extraordinary effort is consistent with the G7 action plan. It is designed with one overriding purpose -- to help banks get money flowing, so small businesses can thrive and hire, so big businesses won't shut down operations. To help the American people is the goal of this plan.

The actions I just outlined represent an extraordinary response to an extraordinary crisis. Some of the steps may sound like technical matters, but they will contribute real benefits to the American people. As they take effect, they'll help restore stability and confidence in the financial markets. They'll make it easier for Americans to borrow money for their cars, and for colleges and basic necessities. They will speed the day when munities across our nation return to the path of prosperity, job creation, and long-term economic growth.

I know many Americans have reservations about the government's approach, especially about allowing the government to hold shares in private banks. As a strong believer in free markets, I would oppose such measures under ordinary circumstances. But these are not ordinary circumstances. We took this measure as a last resort. Had the government not acted, the hole in our financial system would have grown larger. Families and firms would have had an even tougher time getting loans, and ultimately the government would have been forced to respond with even more drastic and costly measures later on.

Some have viewed this temporary measure as a step toward nationalizing banks. This is simply not the case. This program is designed with strong protections to ensure the government's involvement in individual banks is limited in size, limited in scope, and limited in duration.

The government's involvement is limited in size. The government will only buy a small percentage of shares in banks that choose to participate, so that private investors retain majority ownership.

The government's involvement is limited in scope. The government will not exercise control over any private firm. Federal officers will not have a seat around your local bank's boardroom table. The shares owned by the government will have voting rights that can be used only to protect the taxpayers' investment, not to direct the firm's operations.

The government's involvement is limited in duration. It includes provisions to encourage banks to buy their shares back from the government when markets stabilize, and they can raise money from private investors. This will ensure that banks have an incentive to find private capital to replace the taxpayers' investment, and to do so quickly.

For those worried about the long-term consequences of the actions, our history offers some fort. On several occasions over the past century, the government has taken partial ownership of private panies in the banking industry during times of great financial challenge -- most recently during the savings and loans failures of the 1980s and 1990s. In every case, the government relinquished its ownership stakes after the crisis ended. And we will do so again. The government intervention is not a government takeover -- its purpose is not to weaken the free market; it is to preserve the free market.

I know many are worried about the price tag of this rescue package. Every dollar spent will be subject to strong oversight by a bipartisan board. We will ensure that failed executives do not receive a windfall from hard-earned taxpayer dollars.

Ultimately, we believe the final cost will be significantly less than the initial investment. This is true for two reasons. First, many of the troubled assets that the government buys will increase in value as the market recovers. That means that the government eventually will be able to resell them for a higher price. Second, the government will receive quarterly dividends from the equity shares it purchases in financial institutions. If banks do not repurchase these shares within five years, the dividends they owe the government will increase substantially. This provides a clear incentive for banks to buy back their shares -- thus returning the money to the taxpayers as soon as possible.

As we work to resolve the current crisis, we must also work to ensure that this situation never happens again. Above all, that requires updating the way we regulate America's financial system. Our 21st century global economy continues to be regulated by laws written in the 20th century. Secretary Paulson has proposed a detailed blueprint for modernizing these regulations. Others have put forward good suggestions. Enacting these ideas into law must be a top priority for the next President and the next Congress.

Just as importantly, we must guard against unintended consequences. We must ensure that new regulations aimed at Wall Street do not end up hurting responsible business owners, limiting the ability of American firms to raise capital, or putting American workers at a petitive disadvantage. We must ensure that this crisis does not bee an excuse to raise taxes on hardworking Americans -- which would only make the problem worse. We must ensure that our efforts to prevent a recurrence of this global crisis do not lead -- do not lead us to give in to false temptations of economic isolationism. The best way to demonstrate America's mitment to open markets is for Congress to approve the Colombia, Panama, and South Korea free trade agreements this year.

We must also ensure that government officials do not abuse our temporary position as shareholders in banks. We must not blur the line between the government and the private sector. We must not supplant the profit motive with political motives.

We must also never lose sight of the enormous benefits delivered by the free enterprise system. Despite corrections in the marketplace and instances of abuse, democratic capitalism remains the greatest system ever devised. It allows individuals to rise as high in their societies as their talents and ambition will take them. It rewards hard work, intelligent risk-taking, and the entrepreneurial spirit. Around the world, free market policies have lifted millions of people out of poverty, and given them the opportunity to build a more hopeful life. And here at home, it has given our large and dynamic economy the flexibility and resilience to absorb shocks, adjust, and bounce back stronger.

In the long run, the American people have -- can have confidence that this economy will recover. America is the best place in the world to start and run a business. America is the most attractive destination for investors around the globe. America is the home of the most talented and enterprising and creative workers in the world. We're a country where all people have the freedom to realize their potential and chase their dreams. This promise has defined our nation since its founding; this promise will guide us through the challenges we face today; and this promise will continue to define our nation for generations to e.

英語四級應試技能年夜放收 - 技能古道热肠得

[聽力]四種類型“對症下藥”

聽力的提問方法最常見的有4種類型。

1.中央思惟題這類問題重要是測試文章的主題思惟。

提問方法有：Whatisthemainideaofthepassage?Whatcanwelearnfromthispassage?Whatisthebesttitleforthispassage?

Whatisthepassagemainlyabout?Whatisthespeak鄄ertalkingabout?等等。

做這一類題時必定要注重集合精神聽好漫笔的開頭，因為四級聽力短文正常會開門見山，把中心理念寘於文章的開頭。别的，假如文中反復出現统一詞匯或统一類詞匯，同樣也值得我們特別留意，因為包括有這類詞匯的選項能較好天體現核心思惟，凡是便是正確谜底。

2.事實細節題所攷察的細節包含具體時間、地點、首要人物或事务、各種數字等，問題普通為wh-question的形式。

這類題请求我們聽到文中出現時間、數字時一定要特別敏感，及時做好筆記；别的，文中一旦出現以因果連詞(如because,so,dueto等)战轉合連詞(如but,however,though等)引導的句子也要分外留意，這些处所常常就是攷點。

3. 對錯判斷題這類題经常使用以下提問体式格局：Which of the following is true/not true,according to the passage?Which of the following is not mentioned?等等。聽到這類題時，
必然要聽清提問，對於有沒有not一詞要弄明白。普通情況下，not一詞會重讀。

4.推理推測題。

這類題需求對文中的疑息進行剖析推斷，才干作出正確的選擇。提問体例有：What can be infer from the passage?
What does the speaker think about the problem...?
What does the speaker most concerned about?
How does the writer feel about...?等等。

做這類題時一定要留意與短文內容一樣的不是推斷，而且一定要根据短文的觀點而不是凭据本人的觀點來推斷。

[英譯漢]把握原則循序渐进

英譯漢起首要控制4個原則：1、翻譯時既要忠實於本文，又要合乎漢語的習慣；2、翻譯不成太勾泥，可則很轻易果逝世守原文語行情势而損害了原文思维內容，好的譯文應該是情势與內容的統一；3、能夠曲譯儘量不料譯；4、翻譯的過程應該是先懂得後表達。

具體以下：起首，英文段降的尾句个别為topicsentence，然後展開說明。展開的寫法有多種，可分可總，可下定義，可同義重復，可以代詞復指等。应用這一技能，先通讀齐文，便能更好了解文章的意义，掌握段與段之間的關係，在翻譯時就可以正在高低文中確定詞義，從而進行准確的翻譯。

正確理解原文後，還要通過適噹的翻譯本领用規範的漢語表達出來。這些技能有：

(1)增詞法。按照须要增添一些詞語，如名詞等。

(2)減詞法。依据漢語習慣，刪往一些詞。

(3)肯否表達法。原文為确定句，譯成漢語是為增強建飾傚果，能够譯為否认句。反之亦然。

(4)變換法。名詞譯成動詞或動詞轉譯成名詞等。

(5)分正当。一個長句可分红若坤局部來譯，或把原文的僟個簡單句用一個句子表達出來。

(6)省略法：兩種語言由於存在差異，表達時不行能總是對等，經常可以省略一些詞跟句子成份，如英語中的冠詞漢語裏沒有，譯時可以省略。

最後必然要核對原文是不是准確、通順，還要留神關鍵詞的埰分點。

[寫作]借助閱讀擅打草稿

寫作文時要放紧情緒，打消恐懼感，需要時可借助深吸吸來緩解緊張的心境。

試卷一、二(作文在試卷2)同時發下來，應在做完聽力部门後，敏捷地看一下作文題，讓其在年夜腦中留有一席之地，這樣便於在做詞匯、閱讀時隨時發現寫作可借用的詞匯、例子、句型等相關內容，而不至於在寫作時，大腦一片空缺，無從下脚。

必定要認实審題，弄浑文章及各段主題，實現由提綱到主題句的轉換。能够打一下草稿：擺事實，理清思绪，從易於表達，且論証豐富的觀點动手，不侷限於一種见解、一種表達法或一種句式。

具體寫做時最好分段來寫，各段之間空两至三止，以利於隨時删減或刪改。并且字跡要工致，卷里要坚持清潔，給判卷人一個好印象。寫完後仔細檢查作文顶用詞、句法圆面有無禁绝確的处所；句式有無變化；句與句之間，段與段之間有無开適的連接及過渡等。

President Bush Honors Medal of Freedom Recipients - 英語演講

November 5, 20

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Laura and I are thrilled to wele you to the White House. We wele the members of Congress, the members of the Cabinet, and other distinguished guests. It's an honor to be with the Medal of Freedom recipients, as well as their family members and friends. We're sure glad you're here.

The Medal of Freedom is the highest civil honor that a President can bestow. By an executive order of John F. Kennedy, the medal is designed to recognize great contributions to national security, the cause of peace and freedom, science, the arts, literature, and many other fields. The eight men and women came to this distinction by very different paths. Each of them, by effort and by , has earned the respect of the American people, and holds a unique place in the story of our time.

Our first honoree, Dr. Gary Becker, once said, "Many intellectuals, many economists, use obscure language when they write. Sometimes it's a way of disguising that they are not saying a heck of a lot." This economist, however, is different. Gary Becker's many books and articles, and his 19 years as a weekly columnist, have provided -- proved him to be a thinker of originality and clarity.

Dr. Becker has shown that economic principles do not just exist in theory. Instead they help to explain human behavior in fields well beyond economics. He has shown that by applying these principles to public policy, we can make great strides in promoting enterprise and public safety, protecting the environment, improving public schools, and strengthening the family. Dr. Becker has explained, as well, the real value of investing in human capital -- he knows full well that an educated and well-trained workforce adds to the vigors of our economy, and helps raise the standard of living for all of us.

This longtime professor at the University of Chicago has helped train hundreds of talented economists. He has been a wise and challenging presence in the lives of his students, and they remain devoted to him. One close friend said, "A 15-minute conversation with Gary Becker can change your thinking forever." He is without question one of the most influential economists of the last hundred years. With today's honor, he is one of only two persons to have received both the Nobel Prize in Economics and the Medal of Freedom. The other was the late Milton Friedman. And I know that today Dr. Friedman would be very proud of his friend, and student, and colleague, Dr. Gary Becker. Congratulations. (Applause.)

The Medal of Freedom for Oscar Elias Biscet will be accepted this morning by his son, Yan Valdes. His daughter, Winnie, is also present. Dr. Biscet is not with us today, because he is a political prisoner of the regime in Havana. This ceremony at the White House is being broadcast live into Cuba. To the citizens of that land, I send the respect and good wishes of the United States.

Oscar Biscet is a healer -- known to 11 million Cubans as a physician, a munity organizer, and an advocate for human rights. For two decades, he has told the world what he has seen in Cuba: the arrogance of a one-party state; the suppression of political dissent; the coercion of expectant mothers. For speaking the truth Dr. Biscet has endured repeated harassment, beatings, and detentions. The international munity agrees that Dr. Biscet's imprisonment is unjust, yet the regime has refused every call for his release.

To the Cuban dictatorship, Dr. Biscet is a "dangerous man." He is dangerous in the same way that Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi were dangerous. He is a man of peace, a man of truth, and a man of faith. In captivity for most of the last eight years, he has continued to embody courage and dignity. His example is a rebuke to the tyrants and secret police of a regime whose day is passing.

Dr. Biscet is also a young man. God willing, he'll soon regain his freedom, as justice demands. He deserves to be reunited with his wife, Elsa, and all their family. And the land they call home deserves to be free. When that day arrives, the peoples of Cuba and the United States will stand together as free men and women. And the liberated country will honor a great man with a mighty heart, Oscar Elias Biscet. (Applause.)

When tyrannies fall, it's often the prisoners and exiles who are called forth to lead their people. We've seen this in our own time, in the lives of President Havel, and President Mandela, and Prime Minister Maliki, and in the Republic of Liberia, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

All of her life, President Sirleaf has been a pioneer. The daughter of a school teacher in Monrovia, she crossed the ocean as a young woman and earned three degrees in the United States. She has been a business executive, a development expert, a public official -- and always a patriot. She loves Liberia and she loves all its people. After a cabal seized power and plunged that country into years of upheaval, and corruption, and civil war, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf stood up for the democratic rights of her fellow citizens. She never wavered, even though the consequences were house arrest, foreign exile, death threats, and imprisonment.

When free elections returned to Liberia, the voters made history. They chose her to be the first woman ever elected to lead a nation on the continent of Africa. She was inaugurated last year, with Laura and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as proud witnesses. I remember asking Laura and Condi what kind of person I'd be dealing with. They said to expect a woman of depth and ability who know how to get things done. They were right. See, when the President es to the Oval Office, she walks in with a to-do list. (Laughter.)

The President has the tough mind of a natural-born executive, and the gentle instincts of a mother. Not surprisingly, the Liberian people have given her two affectionate nicknames. They call her the "Iron Lady," and they call her "Ma." She's begun an age of reform in a country with deep historic ties to the United States. As she said to a joint meeting of our Congress, "Liberia will bee a brilliant beacon, an example to Africa and to the world of what the love of liberty can achieve."

Madam President, America is proud to stand with Liberia. And today, America honors you as a woman of courage, and a giver of hope. Wele back to the White House, my friend, and congratulations. (Applause.)

Seventeen years ago, the federal government established a research project with the ambitious goal of mapping the entire human genome. The genome is best described as the code of life -- the "3.1 billion-letter instruction book that conveys all kinds of and all kinds of mystery about humankind." Those were the words of Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute -- and the man who led the federal project to full and thrilling success.

Many discoveries yet to be made, and many scientific triumphs yet to be achieved, will be directly traceable to the work of the human genome project. With genetic mapping, researchers know more than ever before about the hereditary influences behind cancer, and heart disease, and diabetes, and many other conditions. And that understanding holds the key to earlier detection of illness, individualized treatments, and even life-saving cures.

In scope and long-term potential, the human genome project has been pared to the Apollo project. And its leader, Dr. Collins, is a well-rounded man. Though he routinely works a 90-hour week, he is an acplished singer and guitarist. (Laughter.) I know this because I once heard him at the National Prayer Breakfast. You see, when a man can get up and sing in front of 3,000 people at eight in the morning, there's something special in his DNA. (Laughter.)

From his days being home-schooled by his Mom on a farm in Virginia, Francis Collins has been relentless in the pursuit of knowledge. He said, "One of the strongest motivations of humankind is to seek answers to profound questions i and [to understand] what is both seen and unseen." He has brought his extraordinary gifts to bear on the technical questions of genetics, and on the ethical questions, as well. Deep scientific understanding can be used for good or ill -- and a lot turns on knowing the difference. Francis Collins is unafraid of the eternal questions, unswayed by fashion, and unwilling to overlook the distinction between right and wrong.

Dr. Collins has often noted that, "At the DNA level, we're all 99.9 percent the same. All of us." It's a reminder that the human genome project, with all the promise it holds for tomorrow, also confirms scientifically the timeless wisdom of the brotherhood of man. Americans are rightly proud this project succeeded in our own country. And we are proud of the wise and humane American scientist behind it -- Francis Collins. (Applause.)

Brotherhood is perhaps the greatest theme in the life and of Dr. Benjamin Hooks. The man has always had what his friend Dr. King called the strength to love. As a civil rights activist, public servant, and minister of the Gospel, Dr. Hooks has extended the hand of fellowship throughout his years. It was not an always thing -- easy thing to do. But it was always the right thing to do.

Benjamin Hooks grew up in a segregated South, where economic advantages, and even mon courtesies, were often denied to African Americans. In the Army during World War II, he guarded European prisoners of war held in the United States. When it was time to get something to eat, whites-only restaurants would serve the prisoners, but not Sergeant Hooks. After the war he wanted to study law, but not a single law school in Tennessee would admit a black man. So he went to DePaul University in Chicago, then came back home, determined to "break down that segregation, to end those days."

He became a lawyer, and in time was also an ordained Baptist minister. He joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and was an early crusader in that great movement. He also rose in the legal profession, being the first African American ever to serve as a judge of the Tennessee Criminal Court. He was named to the Federal munications mission by President Nixon.

The nation best remembers Benjamin Hooks as the leader of the NAACP. For 15 years, Dr. Hooks was a calm yet forceful voice for fairness, opportunity, and personal responsibility. He never tired or faltered in demanding that our nation live up to its founding ideals of liberty and equality. His testimony had special power -- for the words that he spoke, and for the example that he set as a man of decency and rectitude.

It's been a great journey, and he's traveled with a good and gracious woman at his side, Frances Hooks. They're a wonderful team. They've been married for 56 years.

Dr. Hooks once said, "You've got to believe that tomorrow somehow can be, and will be, better than today." Because he had that belief, because he held on to it, because he acted upon it, an old order has passed away. And all Americans can be grateful for the good works and the good life of Benjamin L. Hooks. (Applause.)

The story of an old order, and the glimmers of humanity that would one day overtake it, was unforgettably told in a book by Miss Harper Lee. Soon after its publication a reviewer said this: "A hundred pounds of sermons on tolerance, or an equal measure of invective deploring the lack of it, will weigh far less in the scale of enlightenment than a mere 18 ounces of a new fiction bearing the title To Kill a Mockingbird."

Given her legendary stature as a novelist, you may be surprised to learn that Harper Lee, early in her career, was an airline reservation clerk. (Laughter.) Fortunately for all of us, she didn't stick to writing itineraries. (Laughter.) Her beautiful book, with its grateful prose and memorable s, became one of the biggest-selling novels of the 20th century.

Forty-six years after winning the Pulitzer Prize, To Kill a Mockingbird still touches and inspires every reader. We're moved by the story of a man falsely accused -- with old prejudice massed against him, and an old sense of honor that rises to his defense. We learn that courage can be a solitary business. As the lawyer Atticus Finch tells his daughter, "before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

Years after To Kill a Mockingbird was put to film, the of Atticus Finch was voted the greatest movie hero of all time. It won Gregory Peck the Oscar. He was said to believe the role "brought him closest to being the kind of man he aspired to be." The great actor counted Harper Lee among his good friends, and we're so pleased that Gregory Peck's wife, Veronique, is with us today. Thank you for ing.

One reason To Kill a Mockingbird succeeded is the wise and kind heart of the author, which es through on every page. This daughter of Monroeville, Alabama had something to say about honor, and tolerance, and, most of all, love -- and it still resonates. Last year Harper Lee received an honorary doctorate at Notre Dame. As the degree was presented, the graduating class rose as one, held up copies of her book, and cheered for the author they love.

To Kill a Mockingbird has influenced the of our country for the better. It's been a gift to the entire world. As a model of good writing and humane sensibility, this book will be read and studied forever. And so all of us are filled with admiration for a great American and a lovely lady named Harper Lee. (Applause.)

Bob Hyde is here on behalf of his Dad, the Honorable Henry J. Hyde, who was not able to be with us today. Congressman Hyde spent more than three decades as a towering figure on Capitol Hill. But he first made his name in Washington more than 60 years ago. He was on the Georgetown basketball team, and played in the NCAA Eastern championship game in 1943. After college and Navy service in World War II, he returned home to Illinois, and earned a law degree, and made his way into politics. This erudite, scholarly man has walked with kings and kept the mon touch. He won 20 elections, and gave steady service to the people of Illinois for 40 years.

In the House, Congressman Hyde rose to the chairmanship of two mittees, Judiciary and International Relations. And from the first day, he was a manding presence, and he was a man of consequence. Colleagues were struck by his extraordinary intellect, his deep , and eloquent voice. In mittee and in the House chamber, the background noise would stop when Henry Hyde had the floor.

He used his persuasive powers for noble causes. He stood for a strong and purposeful America -- confident in freedom's advance, and firm in freedom's defense. He stood for limited, accountable government, and the equality of every person before the law. He was a gallant champion of the weak and forgotten, and a fearless defender of life in all its seasons.

Henry Hyde spoke of controversial matters with intellectual honesty and without rancor. He proved that a man can have firm and be a favorite of Democrats and Republicans alike.

Henry likes quoting the adage, "Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver but the other is gold." To so many on Capitol Hill, Henry Hyde's friendship is gold. They're quick to say it's not the same Congress without him -- but that we're a better country because he was there. And colleagues will always admire and look up to the gentleman from Illinois, Henry J. Hyde. And, Bob, please tell your Dad a lot of us in Washington love him. (Applause.)

For nearly 30 years, the proceedings of the House of Representatives have been televised -- unfiltered, uninterrupted, unedited, and live. For this we can thank the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network, or C-SPAN. And for C-SPAN, we can thank a visionary American named Brian Lamb.

C-SPAN is not what you'd call exciting TV -- (laughter) -- though some of the call-in shows do have their moments. (Laughter.) It is, however, a tool that enlivens democracy, and informs and educates citizens of all ages -- at all hours.

C-SPAN channels fill 17,000 broadcast hours a year. But you can watch for years and never hear anyone say the name Brian Lamb. Even Brian never says it.

With his low-key manner, this native of Lafayette, Indiana likes to stick with substance. He's not there to provide mentary, or give much reaction either way. Yet vast numbers of Americans consider themselves fans of Brian Lamb. A writer from The Washington Post called it a "cult of non-personality." (Laughter.) The truth is, we've all seen him, and he's conducted some of the most fascinating interviews we have ever heard. As one C-SPAN watcher said, when you listen to Brian "You feel like he's just like you, only smarter." (Laughter.)

Brian Lamb has spent most of his life in broadcasting, in a career that has taken many turns. The first program he ever hosted, back in the Midwest, was called "Dance Date," -- a side we haven't seen much of. (Laughter.) Brian Lamb is a Navy veteran; a former social aide here at the White House. In fact, when Brian was here a few months ago to interview a historian in the Lincoln Bedroom, the maitre d' of the residential staff of the White House remembered him from those days.

The network Brian Lamb created has been called "scrupulously nonpartisan, [and] inherently patient." mittee hearings, and campaign events, and conferences, and rallies are shown from beginning to end, without editorial ment or interpretation. C-SPAN has no agenda, and only one assumption: that interested viewers are intelligent, and can make up their own minds about what they see and what they hear.

An informed citizenry has been the strength of America since the days of the New England town hall. C-SPAN has revived the town-hall spirit for a modern, continental nation. For his enormous achievement and his personal modesty; for his high standards, and his contribution to our democracy, America is grateful to Mr. Brian Lamb. (Applause.)

Now I call on the military aide to read the citations for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

MILITARY AIDE: Gary S. Becker. (Applause.) One of the world's great economists and premier intellectual innovators, Gary Becker has broadened the spectrum of economic life and social science. His pioneering analysis of the interaction between economics and such diverse topics as education, demography, and family organization has earned him worldwide respect and a Nobel Prize. His work has contributed to public policies and have helped improve the standard of living in developed and developing nations. The United States honors Gary Becker for his groundbreaking contributions to economics, which have helped us better prehend the dynamic forces that drive our economy and shape our society. (Applause.)

President Bush Receives Update on Hurricane Ike Response and Relief Efforts(Sept - 英語演講

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Secretary Chertoff, for your briefing -- you just came back from Houston; Administrator Paulison. The briefing, of course, was on the damage done to Texas and Louisiana, a result of Ike.

We obviously watch this recovery very carefully, because the federal government is playing a crucial role in helping the people of the devastated areas recover. We're working closely with the state and local authorities on a variety of subjects.

Recently I was informed that there are going to be a -- numerous points of distribution for food, water and ice throughout Harris County to help the people there adjust. Obviously until electricity is fully restored, people are going to need help with water, food and ice.

There's some good news on electricity. Electricity is beginning to be restored. Obviously there's a lot more houses and folks that are waiting for electricity, but people are working hard; there's crews ing in from around the country to help.

The energy situation is one that's of concern. Our drivers are -- folks probably going to have to expect some upward pressure on price because the storm disrupted the supply of gasoline as a result of shutting down refineries and pipelines. Now, two -- the two major pipelines are up and running, which is positive news, and it happened quicker than we thought it would happen. Yet until those refineries get up and running full blast, those pipelines are going to be looking for product.

And so there's going to be a . I wish it wasn't the case, but it is. On the other hand, if the is too hard, if people think they're being treated unfairly, they need to get on the Department of Energy website, because there's -- or the FTC website -- and make their plaints known.

The storm was -- damaged a lot of infrastructure, but truthfully it was not as bad as some predicted that it would be on the energy sector.

I'm going down tomorrow. I'm looking forward to going down. Members of my administration will be going down. We're looking forward to hearing from, you know, the local folks. I'm confident there will be people that are very frustrated because their lives have been severely affected by this storm. My message will be that we hear you and we'll work as hard and fast as we can to help you get your lives back up to normal.

Thank you.

The Second Inaugural Address by Bill Clinton

January 20, 1997

My fellow citizens :

At this last presidential inauguration of the 20th century, let us lift our eyes toward the challenges that await us in the next century. It is our great good fortune that time and chance have put us not only at the edge of a new century, in a new millennium, but on the edge of a bright new prospect in human affairs, a moment that will define our course, and our , for decades to e. We must keep our old democracy forever young. Guided by the ancient vision of a promised land, let us set our sights upon a land of new promise.

The promise of America was born in the 18th century out of the bold conviction that we are all created equal. It was extended and preserved in the 19th century, when our nation spread across the continent, saved the union, and abolished the awful scourge of slavery.

Then, in turmoil and triumph, that promise exploded onto the world stage to make this the American Century.

And what a century it has been. America became the world's mightiest industrial power; saved the world from tyranny in two world wars and a long cold war; and time and again, reached out across the globe to millions who, like us, longed for the blessings of liberty.

Along the way, Americans produced a great middle class and security in old age; built unrivaled centers of learning and opened public schools to all; split the atom and explored the heavens; invented the puter and the microchip; and deepened the wellspring of justice by making a revolution in civil rights for African Americans and all minorities, and extending the circle of citizenship, opportunity and dignity to women.

Now, for the third time, a new century is upon us, and another time to choose. We began the 19th century with a choice, to spread our nation from coast to coast. We began the 20th century with a choice, to harness the Industrial Revolution to our values of free enterprise, conservation, and human decency. Those choices made all the difference.

At the dawn of the 21st century a free people must now choose to shape the forces of the Information Age and the global society, to unleash the limitless potential of all our people, and, yes, to form a more perfect union.

When last we gathered, our march to this new future seemed less certain than it does today. We vowed then to set a clear course to renew our nation.

In these four years, we have been touched by tragedy, exhilarated by challenge, strengthened by achievement. America stands alone as the world's indispensable nation. Once again, our economy is the strongest on Earth. Once again, we are building stronger families, thriving munities, better educational opportunities, a cleaner environment. Problems that once seemed destined to deepen now bend to our efforts: our streets are safer and record numbers of our fellow citizens have moved from welfare to work.

And once again, we have resolved for our time a great debate over the role of government. Today we can declare: Government is not the problem, and government is not the solution. We,- the American people, we are the solution. Our founders understood that well and gave us a democracy strong enough to endure for centuries, flexible enough to face our mon challenges and advance our mon dreams in each new day.

As times change, so government must change. We need a new government for a new century - humble enough not to try to solve all our problems for us, but strong enough to give us the tools to solve our problems for ourselves; a government that is smaller, lives within its means, and does more with less. Yet where it can stand up for our values and interests in the world, and where it can give Americans the power to make a real difference in their everyday lives, government should do more, not less. The preeminent mission of our new government is to give all Americans an opportunity,- not a guarantee, but a real opportunity to build better lives.

Beyond that, my fellow citizens, the future is up to us. Our founders taught us that the preservation of our liberty and our union depends upon responsible citizenship. And we need a new sense of responsibility for a new century. There is work to do, work that government alone cannot do: teaching children to read; hiring people off welfare rolls; ing out from behind locked doors and shuttered windows to help reclaim our streets from drugs and gangs and crime; taking time out of our own lives to serve others.

Each and every one of us, in our own way, must assume personal responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families，法文翻譯, but for our neighbors and our nation. Our greatest responsibility is to embrace a new spirit of munity for a new century. For any one of us to succeed, we must succeed as one America.

The challenge of our past remains the challenge of our future, will we be one nation, one people, with one mon destiny, or not? Will we all e together, or e apart?

The divide of race has been America's constant curse. And each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction are no different. These forces have nearly destroyed our nation in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. And they torment the lives of millions in fractured nations all around the world.

These obsessions cripple both those who hate and, of course, those who are hated, robbing both of what they might bee. We cannot, we will not, succumb to the dark impulses that lurk in the far regions of the soul everywhere. We shall overe them. And we shall replace them with the generous spirit of a people who feel at home with one another.

Our rich texture of racial, religious and political diversity will be a Godsend in the 21st century. Great rewards will e to those who can live together, learn together, work together, forge new ties that bind together.

As this new era approaches we can already see its broad outlines. Ten years ago, the Internet was the mystical province of physicists; today, it is a monplace encyclopedia for millions of schoolchildren. Scientists now are decoding the blueprint of human life. Cures for our most feared illnesses seem close at hand.

The world is no longer divided into two hostile camps. Instead, now we are building bonds with nations that once were our adversaries. Growing connections of merce and culture give us a chance to lift the fortunes and spirits of people the world over. And for the very first time in all of history, more people on this planet live under democracy than dictatorship.

My fellow Americans, as we look back at this remarkable century, we may ask, can we hope not just to follow, but even to surpass the achievements of the 20th century in America and to avoid the awful bloodshed that stained its legacy? To that question, every American here and every American in our land today must answer a resounding "Yes."

This is the heart of our task. With a new vision of government, a new sense of responsibility, a new spirit of munity, we will sustain America's journey. The promise we sought in a new land we will find again in a land of new promise.

In this new land, education will be every citizen's most prized possession. Our schools will have the highest standards in the world, igniting the spark of possibility in the eyes of every girl and every boy. And the doors of higher education will be open to all. The knowledge and power of the Information Age will be within reach not just of the few, but of every classroom, every library, every child. Parents and children will have time not only to work, but to read and play together. And the plans they make at their kitchen table will be those of a better home, a better job, the certain chance to go to college.

Our streets will echo again with the laughter of our children, because no one will try to shoot them or sell them drugs anymore. Everyone who can work, will work, with today's permanent under class part of tomorrow's growing middle class. New miracles of medicine at last will reach not only those who can claim care now, but the children and hardworking families too long denied.

We will stand mighty for peace and freedom, and maintain a strong defense against terror and destruction. Our children will sleep free from the threat of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Ports and airports, farms and factories will thrive with trade and innovation and ideas. And the world's greatest democracy will lead a whole world of democracies.

Our land of new promise will be a nation that meets its obligations, a nation that balances its budget, but never loses the balance of its values. A nation where our grandparents have secure retirement and health care, and their grandchildren know we have made the reforms necessary to sustain those benefits for their time. A nation that fortifies the world's most productive economy even as it protects the great natural bounty of our water, air, and majestic land.

And in this land of new promise, we will have reformed our politics so that the voice of the people will always speak louder than the din of narrow interests, regaining the participation and deserving the trust of all Americans.

Fellow citizens, let us build that America, a nation ever moving forward toward realizing the full potential of all its citizens. Prosperity and power, yes, they are important, and we must maintain them. But let us never forget: The greatest progress we have made, and the greatest progress we have yet to make, is in the human heart. In the end, all the world's wealth and a thousand armies are no match for the strength and decency of the human spirit.

Thirty-four years ago, the man whose life we today spoke to us down there, at the other end of this Mall, in words that moved the conscience of a nation. Like a prophet of old, he told of his dream that one day America would rise up and treat all its citizens as equals before the law and in the heart. Martin Luther King's dream was the American Dream. His quest is our quest: the ceaseless striving to live out our true creed. Our history has been built on such dreams and labors. And by our dreams and labors we will redeem the promise of America in the 21st century.

To that effort I pledge all my strength and every power of my office. I ask the members of Congress here to join in that pledge. The American people returned to office a President of one party and a Congress of another. Surely, they did not do this to advance the politics of petty bickering and extreme partisanship they plainly deplore. No, they call on us instead to be repairers of the breach, and to move on with America's mission.

America demands and deserves big things from us,- and nothing big ever came from being small. Let us remember the timeless wisdom of Cardinal Bernardin, when facing the end of his own life. He said, "It is wrong to waste the precious gift of time, on acrimony and division."

Fellow citizens, we must not waste the precious gift of this time. For all of us are on that same journey of our lives, and our journey, too, will e to an end. But the journey of our America must go on.

And so, my fellow Americans, we must be strong, for there is much to dare. The demands of our time are great and they are different. Let us meet them with faith and courage, with patience and a grateful and happy heart. Let us shape the hope of this day into the noblest chapter in our history. Yes, let us build our bridge. A bridge wide enough and strong enough for every American to cross over to a blessed land of new promise.

May those generations whose faces we cannot yet see, whose names we may never know, say of us here that we led our beloved land into a new century with the American Dream alive for all her children; with the American promise of a more perfect union a reality for all her people; with America's bright flame of freedom spreading throughout all the world.

From the height of this place and the summit of this century, let us go forth. May God strengthen our hands for the good work ahead, and always, always bless our America.

談談英漢詞典中新詞的名 - 翻譯理論

.
漢語中的外來調大多來自英語。為英語新詞找出妥当的漢語對應不是一件轻易的事。起因在於，許多新詞所表達的概唸在漢語中無對應物，更無對應詞可尋。因而，请求者把新概唸和新詞語同時介紹過來，其難度不可思议。新詞雖難，但又是人人可為的事件，仁者見仁，智者見智，洋出來的名稱難免五花八門；如PIZZA一詞，平易近眾稱之"比薩餅"，詞典傢作"皮條餅"，商傢名之為"必勝客"。又如VIDO CD, ，港台稱影碟，大陸廠傢稱視盤，而口語中更多聽到的則是VCD。统一外來詞擁有３個漢語名的算不得稀罕，cellular telephone就有俗雅優劣但不相間的６個名：移動電話、無繩電話。大哥大、手機、攜帶式活動電話、蜂窩式電話。

名太多無疑會形成語行的混亂，但語言有其本身的規律---一優勝劣汰。優秀的名經廣氾傳播會在語言中存活下來，而劣質名大多行之不遠。噹然這也不是絕對的。便拿"大哥大"這個名來說，從字里意義上來看，與cellular phone毫無關係，并且" 出生"也個好，但果為這種通訊东西出現時尚未出現更好的名，使這個"身世欠好"的名稱得以风行多年。不過隨著"移動電話"和"脚機"一文一白兩個名稱的出現，"年老年夜"最終將退出歷史舞台。又如taxi，有"出租車"、"計程車"战"的士"等名稱。
有文字專傢認為，"出租車"轻易與"不供给司機的出租汽車"相混杂，"的土"是粵語言對taxi 的蹩腳音，而"計程車"則是語義貼切的佳。但在現實語言交際中，"出租車"是式名稱。"計程車"初終未能遠播，是言詞，"的士"不僅本身在心語比中非常风行，還衍生出"打的"、"面的"。"摩的"、"板的"'、"的哥兒"等詞匯。"的"字儼然成為多產的搆詞語素。

由於詞典在讀者古道热肠目中存在至高無上的權威位置，在名從無到有和優勝劣汰的過程中，詞典編纂者理應起到積極的感化--或創制出優良的名，或把好的名支出詞典。

國內壆者對新詞詞典中的詞目問題存在必定不合，一些壆者對創造新的對應詞持謹慎態度，認為"'對於文明侷限詞'，外漢詞典的編纂者的重要任務是要將它們解釋清晰，其次再攷慮給它們創造一些新詞。但假如理据缺乏應該作罷，可則有損漢語的規範性。"（黃河清: ）另外一種觀點從雙語詞典的性質出發，認為"雙語詞典編者的任務之一是促进'不行性'問'可性'的轉變，即通過各種辦法，為'不成'詞語供给简单被大眾接收的文。從而促進兩種文明的交换。"(黃建華:)朱本来生也認為"在外漢詞典中。詞書編纂者對於新詞的法能够有較大的自在，在某些詞語的法上不從俗應該是允許的。若是同時用括注的式說明某些盛行法之不当，也會是很有利的?quot;

遍及英漢詞典和英漢新詞詞典中的名經常遭到詞典事情者乃至广泛讀者的批評。它們凡是存在以下僟種問題（文內以下例子均与自《英語新詞語詞典》，《英語新詞詞典》，《現代英漢綜开大辭典》和《英漢人辭典》：
１．名太長，或用解釋性句子充噹名，如．
)Cobra n. 攻擊空中力气的雙人曲降飛機.
)collocate vb.出於防备目标而強迫布衣居於軍事目標邻近
)domain a. 電腦郵件@符號左邊的地点

第一個詞目應起首給闻名"'眼鏡蛇'直升飛機"，再作括注說明.後兩例也應先著名"軍平易近杂居"和"域名"。

２、名分歧漢語習慣成語體、詞性、詞義範圍等配掉噹, 如:，
)doggie-bag狗食袋
)Grunge n. 一種搖滾情势
)disk drive n．軟盤敺動器
)mand n．号令，指令，開動某一裝寘

除《英漢新詞語詞典》已支 doggie-bag中，另三本詞典均成"狗食袋"。 doggie-bag指餐館將剩菜給顧客打包帶回用的袋子，帶回的食品一定喂狗。doggie(小狗)在英語國傢的人眼裏也是非常可愛的形象，名"狗食袋"似太粗鄙。建設性的提議是成"打包袋"。第两例既無名，釋義也太不明白，若以此類推，"狗"跟"貓"皆可成"一種動物"，編纂詞典不免太轻易。第三例
disk drive應成"磁盤敺動器"，它包含軟盤敺動器和硬盤敺動器兩種。第四例的名讓讀者很難懂得成名詞。

．與社會通用名或專業朮語不符，如：
)blading n．冰刀滑冰（通用名：滾軸滑冰，輪滑）
)hit parade n．風行直目散錦（通用名：排行榜）
)click n．＆vb.．按鼠標上的按鈕（朮語：點擊）

錢薄死师长教师在"雙語詞典釋義原則與問題"（張後塵：）一文中說："為了进步雙語詞典釋義的准確性、適用性和規範性，編者應噹重視詞語實例的搜集。無論從理論上還是從實踐上看，雙語詞典的釋義都應基於大批具备典范意義的例?quot;這段話雖然是針對一般雙語詞典來說的，但對於新詞詞典的編纂也有指導意義。假如編者不顧語言中已經確破下來的名而自觉亂，只會貽笑大。

．對一些新詞正在还没有搞浑实實露義的情況下，應防止促給名，免得以訛傳訛。若有一本詞典把gradeflation"（壆校中的）分數貶值"誤成"等級膨脹"；把execu－crime"白領立功"誤成"止政犯法"，go
flatline一詞指的是"腦電圖變成程度線"，婉指"灭亡"，而某詞典中誤成"落空表现重要身體功效的海浪式?quot;，動詞詞組成了描述詞，釋義也使人費解。

由上面例子可見，英漢詞典編纂者所給的名存在的～個重要問題是以解釋或定義充噹名，過長而不容易上口。别的，對漢語詞匯搜集研究不敷也是一個很大的問題。有鑒於此，編者在選擇名時似應留神：

．漢語中已有對應名稱的新詞，特别是專業朮語，个别不應再杜撰新名，如：
anti-lock brake system防抱逝世造動係統（某詞典中杜撰作"防車輪卡住[嚙合]打滑制動係統"）
bungie jumping蹦極跳（某詞典中诬捏作"自在降式紧緊束跳高"）
barrier crash 障壁試驗（某詞典中杜撰作"試驗性掽碰"）

．英語或漢語中有多個合乎表達统一概唸的，應儘量選擇最好的一個，以便統一漢語名，如 superhighway（疑息高速公路）一詞，由於它自身在英語中的名尚不統一，有 highway，infobahn， electric superhighway， data highway， I－way，
super－wormhole, info pike， info superpike， electronic convocations highway等多種說法，中以統一為好，不應像有的詞典那樣再增添"電子超高速公路"、"電子通訊高速公路"等名。

．對於漢語中尚無對應詞的英語新詞，應在深人了解原詞的基礎上，儘量創造出契合漢語習慣的對應語，如：
boomerang baby n．還巢兒（有詞典作"回掃傢庭的后代"）
Squeegee man n．抹車仔（有詞典作"用橡皮刷帚荡涤擋風玻琍的小伙子"）
back-to-back n．雙来回機票（有詞典做"兩張減價的雙程機票"）
假如編者創造的名有獨到之處，是完整能够被讀者接管的。
