篇一:约翰肯尼迪总统就职演说

[演讲者简介]: 约翰·肯尼迪是一位战争英雄,普利策奖获得者,整个五十年代,都是美国参议员。1960年11月,年仅43岁的他成为美国历史上由选举产生的最年轻的总统。1963年11月22日他在德克萨斯州的达拉斯遇刺身亡,是美国历史上第四位死于暗杀者的子弹的总统。

今天我们庆祝的不是政党的胜利,而是自由的胜利。这象征着一个结束,也象征着一个开端;意味着延续也意味着变革。因为我已在你们和全能的上帝面前,宣读了我们的先辈在170年前拟定的庄严誓言。

现在的世界已大不相同了。人类的巨手掌握着既能消灭人间的各种贫困,又能毁灭人间的各种生活的力量。但我们的先辈为之奋斗的那些革命信念,在世界各地仍然有着争论。这个信念就是人的权利并非来自国家的慷慨,而是来自上帝恩赐。

今天,我们不敢忘记我们是第一次革命的继承者。让我们的朋友和敌人同样听见我此时此地的讲话:火炬已经传给新一代美国人。这一代人在本世纪诞生,在战争中受过锻炼,在艰难困苦的和平时期受过陶冶,他们为我国悠久的传统感到自豪——他们不愿目睹或听任我国一向保证的、今天仍在国内外作出保证的人权渐趋毁灭。

让每个国家都知道——不论它希望我们繁荣还是希望我们衰落一为确保自由的存在和自由的胜利,我们将付出任何代价,承受任何负担,应付任何艰难,支持任何朋友,反抗任何敌人。 这些就是我们的保证——而且还有更多的保证。

对那些和我们有着共同文化和精神渊源的老盟友,我们保证待以诚实朋友那样的忠诚。我们如果团结一致,就能在许多合作事业中无往不胜:我们如果分歧对立,就会一事无成——因为我们不敢在争吵不休、四分五裂时迎接强大的挑战。

对那些我们欢迎其加入到自由行列中来的新国家,我们恪守我们的誓言:决不让一种更为残酷的暴政来取代一种消失的殖民统治。我们并不总是指望他们会支持我们的观点。但我们始终希望看到他们坚强地维护自己的自由——而且要记住,在历史上,凡愚蠢地狐假虎威者,终必葬身虎口。

对世界各地身居茅舍和乡村,为摆脱普遍贫困而斗争的人们,我们保证尽最大努力帮助他们自立,不管需要花多长时间——之所以这样做,并不是因为共产党可能正在这样做,也不是因为我们需要他们的选票,而是因为这样做是正确的。自由社会如果不能帮助众多的穷人,也就无法挽救少数富人。

对我国南面的姐妹共和国,我们提出一项特殊的保证——在争取进行的新同盟中,把我们善意的话变为善意的行动,帮助自由人们和自由的政府摆脱贫困的枷锁。但是,这种充满希望的和平革命决不可以成为敌对国家的牺牲品。我们要让所有邻国都知道,我们将和他们在一起,反对在美洲任何地区进行侵略和颠覆活动。让所有其他国家都知道,本半球的人仍然想做自己家园的主人。 1961. 1. 20

[Brief introduction to the speaker]: John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) John F. Kennedy was a war hero, a Pulitzer Prize [1]-winning author, a U. S. Senator for most of the 1950s. In November 1960, at the age of 43, he became the youngest man ever elected president of the United States. On Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, Tex [2], the fourth United States president to die by an assassin's bullet.

We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom. Symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning, signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you, and almighty God, the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed [3] nearly a century and three quarters ago.

The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life. And yet, the same revolutionary beliefs for

which our forbears fought are still at issue [4] around the globe. The belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth

[5], from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness, or permit, the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today, at home and around the world.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well of ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty. This much we pledge and more.

To those old allies, whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do, in a host of [6] cooperative ventures [7]. Divided there is little we can do. For we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split us asunder.

To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our words that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view, but we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom, and to remember that in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe, struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

To our sister republics [8] south of our border, we offer a special pledge, to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress to assist free men and free governments in casting off [9] the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas.

注释:

1.Pulitzer Prize:普利策奖,美国的文学奖。

2.Dallas, TX:美国德克萨斯州的达拉斯市,位于美国南部。TX是Texas的简写。

3.Prescribed:规定,指示所应遵循的行动方针。我们办手续时常常听到的一句话“请填好规定的表格”用英语说就是Please complete the prescribed form。

4.at issue:issue这里是个名词,意思是“引起讨论的问题”。at issue表示正在讨论中,也就是存在争议。The matter is still at issue就是“这个问题还在讨论”。

5.go forth:意思是公布、发表,公布发表的东西也是为了让别人知道,而本文是一篇演讲,所以翻译为“让……听到”。

6.a host of:是习惯用法,与of连用,表示许多。He has a host of friends. 的意思就是“他有许多朋友”。

7.Ventures:venture的原意是冒险或冒险事业。有人说: No venture, no success. 意思就是“没有冒险就没有成功”。肯尼迪在演讲中宣称的一切理想都需要在未来得以实施。未来总是一个未知数,所以他用了venture这个词代表他希望施展抱负的事业。而他本人最终遭到暗

杀,也恰恰应验了venture一词。

8.sister republics:这里是指美国边界以南的国家,也就是拉丁美洲国家,肯尼迪宣称把他们都看作美国的姐妹。

9.cast off:原意是松开、放开,比喻意义是抛弃、丢弃。这个动词词组的宾语是枷锁,所以引申为挣脱的意思。

约翰·肯尼迪就职演说稿中文

我们今天不是祝贺党派的胜利,而是参加自由的庆典:它象征着一个开始——也是一个结束;它代表换代——也是更新。因为在你们和全能的上帝面前,我已经宣布了一百七十四年前我们祚告诫这同一个庄严的誓言。

现在的世界发生巨大的变化。人类用自己的死亡之手握住了荡尽所有人间贫困和所有人类生命的势力。然而,我们祚这战斗的这同一个革命信念,仍然围绕着地球在争论——这个信念就是:人类的权利并非来自政府的慷慨施舍,而是来自上帝的手赠送。

今天,我们不敢忘记我们是独立革命的后嗣。让革命这个词从这个时刻,这个地点传给朋友,也传给敌人。这个火把已经传给了新的一代美国人——他们诞生在这个国度,经历过战争的锻炼,又接受了一个艰苦、严峻的和平时期的考验;他们为自己继承的悠久传统自豪;他们不愿意目睹或容忍那些人类权利无休无止的躁蹭。正是为了这些权利,这个国家一直在献身;也正是为了这些权利,我们今天在国内、在世界各地还在继续献身;也正是为了这些权利,我们今天在国内,在世界各地还在继续献身。

让每一个国家都知道,不论它是祝福我们,还是诅咒我们,我们将不惜任何代价、肩负任何重担、迎对任何艰难、支援任何朋友、反抗任何敌人,以保障自由的主权和胜利!这就是我们的保证,而且不仅如此:

——对那些分享其文化、精神血统的昔日盟国,我们保证是他们忠实朋友。团结起来我们在合作探险的广阔天地里就无所不能;一旦分裂,我们则将一事无成,因为在争吵与离异中,我们就不敢面对强有力的挑战。

——对那些我们欢迎加入自由行列的新独立国家,我们保证:决不允许殖民统治刚刚死亡,就又被一位变本加厉的专制暴君代替!我们并不总是期待着看到他们支持我们的观点,但是,我们将永远希望看见他们坚决维护自己的自由,并且记住:在以往,凡是愚蠢地骑在虎背上追求权力的人,无不葬身虎腹??

——对我们国家南部的姐妹共和国,我们提出特别保证:把我们善意的词句变成善意的行动,在一个争取进步的联盟里,帮助自由人民共国和自由政府斩断贫穷的锁链。但是,这个希望中的和平革命不能成为不友好政权嘴中的猎物。让我们所有的邻邦都知道:我们将坚决和他们一起,反抗在美洲任何地方的侵略与颠覆;也让每一个外部势力都清楚,这个半球决意继续当它自己房间的主人。

——对联合国这个主权国家的世界集体,我们在战争机器远远胜过和平机器的一段时期里表示过最良好的祝愿。我们重申支持它的保证;阻止它就仅是恶语攻击的讲坛;加强它保护新独立国家和弱小国家作用;扩大服从它的法令地区。

——最后,对那些愿作我们敌人的国家,我们提出的不是保证,而是一项请求,不要挨到被科学释放的毁灭性可怕能量在蓄谋或意外的自毁中吞灭了整个人类,让我们双方重新开始寻求和平吧。

我们不敢用软弱来劝诱他们。只有当我们武器不容置疑的充足,我们才能毋庸置疑地肯定它们永久不会被使用。然而,两个强大阵营都不可能从我们目前的角逐中尝到舒适——双方都背负着现代武器的沉重耗费;双方都受到原子死神扩散的直言警告;可是双方又都拼命改变那延缓人类末日战争指针转动的,不稳定的恐怖平衡。

因此让我们重新开始——双方都记住:礼貌并非是怯懦的表示,而真诚则永远需要得到验证。让我们决不要因为害怕而谈判,但是,让我们决不要害怕谈判。让双方都来探索使我们走到一起的途径,而不是对那些使我们对立的问题作不必要的说明。让双方都第一次提出严肃的切实可行的建议,来检查和控制武器,并且把摧毁别国的绝对力量置于所有国家的绝对控制之下。

让以方都来寻求科学奇迹的福星,而不是它的恐惧。让我们来共同探索星球、征服沙漠、

根绝疾病、开发海底以及鼓励艺术和商业贸易。

让双方联合起来,在这片土地的每一个角落,遵从以赛亚的指引,“解下轭上的索,使被欺压者得到自由”。

如果建立合作的基础可以缓和尔虞我诈的恶争,让我们携手进行新的努力,不是新的势力平衡,而是一个新法法制世界,在那里,强者正义,弱者无虑,和平受到保卫。

所有这些在一百日内不会完成,在一千日内和本届政府的任期内也不会完成,甚至当我们(这一代人)在这个星球上终止我们的生命时,它们也许会完成。但是,让我们着手吧!我的同胞们,在我的手里,更在你们的手里决定着我们的事业的最后成败。自从这个国家建立以来,每一个美国人都受到召唤在证明他对国家的忠诚。年轻的美国人响应了这一召唤,为国尽忠,他们的陵墓遍布世界各地。

现在,号角又在召唤我们:不是扛起枪,尽管我们需要武器;不是战斗,尽管我们严阵以待。而是肩负起漫长的黎明前斗争的重担,年复一年,“在希望中欢乐,在苦难中忍耐”——这是反对暴政、贫困、疾病和战争本身这些人类共同敌人一场斗争。

南方、北方、东部、西部,我们就不能铸成反对那些敌人的雄壮的全球同盟吗?它能够保证整个人类生活得更富裕丰足。你们愿意参加这个具有历史意义的斗争吗?
