奥巴马9.11十周年讲话

Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights. Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field. Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters –- they were taken from us with a heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty. And on September 12, 2001, we awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future.

In the decade since, much has changed for Americans. We’ve known war and recession, passionate debates and political divides. We can never get back the lives that were lost on that day or the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed.

And yet today, it is worth remembering what has not changed. Our character as a nation has not changed. Our faith -– in God and in each other –- that has not changed. Our belief in America, born of a timeless ideal that men and women should govern themselves; that all people are created equal, and deserve the same freedom to determine their own destiny –- that belief, through tests and trials, has only been strengthened.

These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear. The rescue workers who rushed to the scene, the firefighters who charged up the stairs, the passengers who stormed the cockpit -- these patriots defined the very nature of courage. Over the years we’ve also seen a more quiet form of heroism -- in the ladder company that lost so many men and still suits up and saves lives every day, the businesses that have been rebuilt from nothing, the burn victim who has bounced back, the families who press on.

Last spring, I received a letter from a woman named Suzanne Swaine. She had lost her husband and brother in the Twin Towers, and said that she had been robbed of, “so many would-be proud moments where a father watches their child graduate, or tend a goal in a lacrosse game, or succeed academically.” But her daughters are in college, the other doing well in high school. “It has been 10 years of raising these girls on my own,” Suzanne wrote. “I could not be prouder of their strength and resilience.” That spirit typifies our American family. And the hopeful future for those girls is the ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers who took the life of their father. These past 10 years have shown America’s resolve to defend its citizens, and our way of life. Diplomats serve in far off posts, and intelligence professionals work tirelessly without recognition. Two million Americans have gone to war since 9/11. They have demonstrated that those who do us harm cannot hide from the reach of justice, anywhere in the world. America has been defended not by conscripts, but by citizens who choose to serve -– young people who signed up straight out of high school, guardsmen and reservists, workers and business-people, immigrants and fourth-generation soldiers. They are men and women who left behind lives of comfort for two, three, four, five tours of duty. Too many will never come home. Those that do carry dark memories from distant places and the legacy of fallen friends.

The sacrifices of these men and women, and of our military families, reminds us that the wages of war are great; that while service to our nation is full of glory, war itself is never glorious. Our troops have been to lands unknown to many Americans a decade ago -– to Kandahar and Kabul; to Mosul and Basra. But our strength is not measured in our ability to stay in these places; it comes from our commitment to leave those lands to free people and sovereign states, and our desire to move from a decade of war to a future of peace.

These 10 years have shown that we hold fast to our freedoms. Yes, we’re more vigilant

against those who threaten us, and there are inconveniences that come with our common defense. Debates –- about war and peace, about security and civil liberties –- have often been fierce these last 10 years. But it is precisely the rigor of these debates, and our ability to resolve them in a way that honors our values and our democracy, that is the measure of our strength. Meanwhile, our open markets still provide innovators the chance to create and succeed, our citizens are still free to speak their minds, and our souls are eiched in churches and temples, our synagogues and our mosques.

These past 10 years underscores the bonds between all Americans. We have not succumbed to suspicion, nor have we succumbed to mistrust. After 9/11, to his great credit, President Bush made clear what we reaffirm today: The United States will never wage war against Islam or any other religion. Immigrants come here from all parts of the globe. And in the biggest cities and the smallest towns, in schools and workplaces, you still see people of every conceivable race and religion and ethnicity -– all of them pledging allegiance to the flag, all of them reaching for the same American dream –- e pluribus unum, out of many, we are one.

These past 10 years tell a story of our resilience. The Pentagon is repaired, and filled with patriots working in common purpose. Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and families who lost loved ones there. New York -- New York remains the most vibrant of capitals of arts and industry and fashion and commerce. Where the World Trade Center once stood, the sun glistens off a new tower that reaches towards the sky.

Our people still work in skyscrapers. Our stadiums are still filled with fans, and our parks full of children playing ball. Our airports hum with travel, and our buses and subways take millions where they need to go. And families sit down to Sunday dinner, and students prepare for school. This land pulses with the optimism of those who set out for distant shores, and the courage of those who died for human freedom.

Decades from now, Americans will visit the memorials to those who were lost on 9/11. They’ll run their fingers over the places where the names of those we loved are carved into marble and stone, and they may wonder at the lives that they led. And standing before the white headstones in Arlington, and in peaceful cemeteries and small-town squares in every corner of the country, they will pay respects to those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ll see the names of the fallen on bridges and statues, at gardens and schools.

And they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America. They will remember that we’ve overcome slavery and Civil War; we’ve overcome bread lines and fascism and recession and riots, and communism and, yes, terrorism. They will be reminded that we are not perfect, but our democracy is durable, and that democracy –- reflecting, as it does, the imperfections of man -– also give us the opportunity to perfect our union. That is what we honor on days of national commemoration –- those aspects of the American experience that are enduring, and the determination to move forward as one people.

More than monuments, that will be the legacy of 9/11 –- a legacy of firefighters who walked into fire and soldiers who signed up to serve; of workers who raised new towers, and citizens who faced down their private fears. Most of all, of children who realized the dreams of their parents. It will be said that we kept the faith; that we took a painful blow, and we emerged stronger than before.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

With a just God as our guide, let us honor those who have been lost, let us rededicate

ourselves to the ideals that define our nation, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope.

May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.

翻译：

圣经告诉我们“哭泣可能会持续一夜，但欢乐会在明早到来。”

十年前，美国经历了历史上最黑暗的一天。双子塔楼坍塌了，五角大楼升起了黑烟，飞机在宾夕法尼亚州坠毁。亲朋好友们，兄弟姐妹们，父亲母亲们，孩子们，他们离开了我们，让我们承受着难以弥合的伤痛。在2001年9月12日，我们醒来所面对的世界充满了罪恶和对未知未来的恐惧。 在此之后的十年里，美国人经历了许多变故。我们经历了战争和萧条，激烈的争辩和政治分歧。我们永远也不能唤回失去的生命，或是那些在此后战争中英勇捐躯的英烈。

但是，在今天，我们应该去纪念我们走过的路。我们国家的核心价值依然没有变。我们的信念——相信上帝和彼此的力量——并没有变。我们这个国家坚信，人人自律、人人平等、人人自由，这一信念经受了考验，现在更加坚不可摧。

过去的十年证明，美国并没有畏缩。搜救人员跑进了火场，消防警察冲锋陷阵，飞机乘客跟歹徒搏斗，这些勇士证明了美国人的勇敢。在之后的十年中，我们看到了美国英雄主义的另一种表现形式：云梯消防队依然有勇敢的队员在拯救人们生命，工商企业开始重建，灾难幸存者重新振作起来，遇难者家属开始了新的生活。

Conside...you.

In all time before now and in all time to come,there has never been and will never be anyone just like you.You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe.Wow!Stop and think about that.You're better than one in a million,or a billion,or a 1 gazillion.

You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!

You're amazing!You're awesome!And by the way,TAG,you're it.As amazing and awesome as you already are,you can be even more so.Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature,but beautiful old people are true works of art.But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process. Real beauty comes from learning,growing,and loving in the ways of life.That is the Art of life.Youcan leam slowly,and sometimes painfully,by just waiting for life to happen to you.Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.

Paint a Masterpiece. God gives every bird its food,but he doesn't throw it into its nest.Wherever you want to go,whatever you want to do,it's truly up to you..

关于...你。

在过去和将来的所有时间内，从来也再不会有任何一个人像你一。.你在历史和宇宙的未来中是唯一的。哇，停下来想一想，你是百万分之，亿万分之一，无数万分之一。 你是无尽的海洋中的唯一一个。

你令人感叹！你令人敬畏！顺便说，TAG，你就是。你已经如此令人感叹，令人敬畏，你还可以更加如此。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，美丽的老人是艺术的杰作。但是你不能只靠时间的流逝变得美丽。

真正的美丽来自于学习，成长，和对生活的热爱。那是生活的艺术。如果你坐等生活，你会学得慢，学的痛苦。而你可以加速你的成长，有目的的献身于生活提供给你的挑战。你是一个艺术家，用今天的画笔绘出你的将来。

绘出一幅杰作。

上帝给每个鸟食物，但没有放进它们的鸟窝。你想去何方，你想做何事,真正取决于你自己。

Happiness

Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happiness will naturally follow.Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth.

The world is full of very rich peoplewho are as miserable as if they were living in hell.We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.

Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.Gamble winnings do not bring happiness.To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,There is no use saying in your contribution towards others’ happinessand in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort.If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means,you will know that it is ill earned money.If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it.You will think you are a base person.

Long－term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self－esteem.Happiness is not an end; it is a process.It is a continuous process o(来自:WwW.ZHaOqt.nEt 蒲公英文 摘:大学英语四级美文晨读100篇)f honest, productive workwhich makes a real contribution to othersand makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person.As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”“Some day when I achieve these goals,when I get a car, build a house and own my own business,then I will be really happy.”Life just does not work that way.

If you wait for certain things to happenand depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,you will always feel unfulfilled.There will always be something missing

翻译：

幸福

很多人认为当他们有钱和成功时，幸福自然而然地来临。

让我来告诉你没有什么完全是事实。

这个世界充满了那些非常痛苦像在地狱生活的却很富裕的人。

我们已经读过一些关于电影明星自杀或因毒品死亡的故事。

很明显，钱不是所有问题的唯一答案。

通过不正当手段获得的财富并不带来快乐。彩票奖金不能带来幸福。赌博赢钱不能带来幸福。在我看来幸福的秘密在于你成功的工作。无需说你为别人的幸福的贡献，在你的财富中已经有你通过诚实努力所获得的。如果你通过幸运或者不诚实获得钱财，你将会知道那是有失明智的方式获得钱财的。如果你通过利用别人或者伤害别人的方式获得钱财，你将会为之感到不高兴。你会认为自己是个卑鄙的人。长期的幸福是建立在诚实，高效的作业和自信心的基础上的。幸福不是一个结局而是一个过程。它是一个诚实，高效工作持续的过程，是为他人真正贡献，冰让自己觉得自己是个有用，可敬的人。

就像韦恩所写的，“没有方法可以获得幸福，幸福就是方法。”“某天，当我实现这些目标，当我有一辆车，一幢房子和自己的事业时，我就会感到幸福。”

生活是你工作的方式。

如果你等待某种特定的事发生和让你快乐的生活取决于外部的环境，你将永远不会感到满足。

你一定会错过某些事。
