篇一:世界名人演讲稿

李敖在北京大学的精彩演讲(全文)(图为李敖在北京大学演讲) 各位终于看到我了,

主任,校长,总裁,各位贵宾,各位老师,各位小朋友!来演讲紧张不紧张?

紧张!站在大庭广众面前,很多人可以指挥千军万马的军队,可是你让他讲几句话,他就缩

了不敢讲话,什么原因?胆小!美国人打赢南北战争的将军葛兰特,指挥千军万马打赢仗,

林肯总统请他上台给他勋章,让他几句话,他讲不出口,为什么?怕这玩意,一讲演就紧张。前天晚上我编了一个故事,一个北京的小姐,在一个大楼建筑里面,她看到一个人在里面走

来走去,嘴巴里面念念有词,那个小姐问他你干什么,他说我要到北京大学演讲,那个小姐

说你紧张吗?他说我不紧张,她说为什么你不紧张,你不紧张的话,为什么要跑到女厕所来?

那个人就是连战。连战唬弄了你们 台湾有一位很有名的歌星,崔苔菁,崔

是吹牛,苔是台湾人,菁是青年,台湾要靠混,靠吹牛,又是青年人混,连战就是这种人。

他可以唬弄别人,唬弄不到我们,可以唬弄你们。至少前一阵子唬弄你们,你们任何人觉得

连战讲演好的人,我就要警告你们,今天你们可能很失望,为什么呢?因为我无法花一个小

时把这个观念转过来,因为你们上了连战的当以后,我很难把这个观念转过来。 我在

这儿埋怨一个人,埋怨我的老板,凤凰电视台的刘长乐先生,为什么要埋怨他,他把我「鼓

囚」 ( 北京话,可理解为「弄」 ) 到北京来,对不起,我一看到你们就讲很多乡音,「鼓

囚」到北京来,可是我已经在中国大陆、在凤凰电视台上讲了有 400 多场,你们对我相当

的熟悉,用一个熟悉的眼光来看我,要我今天把这个讲演讲成功,这是高难度的,你们对连

战完全不了解,你们看到他吗?所以对我熟悉,对我是个困难,这个困难是刘长乐老板造成

的,所以我今天有所抱怨。 现在开始讲正题了,罗马教皇讲了一句话,他说你演讲的

时候不能用稿子,为什么不能用稿子?用稿子表示你记不住,如果你自己都记不住,你怎么

样让听众记得住呢?你这个演讲就失败了!所以大家看 ( 李敖敞开西装外套 ) ,没有稿子。

也没有小抄,可是我带了一些证据是有的,等会会显示证据。 我必须和大家说,接下

来这个演讲的时候是刘长乐老板告诉我,最后我问他一句话,把他问得愣住了,我说有没有

铺红地毯?他说柯林顿有、连战有,你没有。我说为什么我没有?他说,北大尊敬你,把你

当 成学术演讲,所以不铺红地毯,校长是不是这个意思?我说好,我做学术演讲,讲得好

就是学术演讲,讲不好,讲一半,铺红地毯还来得及。要先赞美共产党 为

什么我要这样说,不然人家说北京大学势利眼,怎么不给李敖铺红地毯,怎么给当官的,或

者说是政治人物铺红地毯?我在这儿有很多人眼睛看着我,说李敖骂过国民党骂过民进党,

骂过老美,骂过小日本,今天你在北京,你敢骂共产党?很多人不怀好意,幸灾乐祸看着我。

我告诉你,我先不骂共产党,我先赞美共产党和国民党曾经打倒的势力,那就是北洋军阀,

为什么赞美北洋军阀,大家知道吗?北京大学怎么出来的,北洋军阀,什么人叫蔡元培校长

做北京大学校长,那时候他是国民党人的身份,是北洋军阀,北洋军阀有这个肚量把全国最

好的大学交给和他敌对的一个政治势力的首敌,我们现在骂北洋军阀,我们有什么资格骂北

洋军阀呢?我们不要骂北洋军阀,我们要做历史性的反省。 以前北京大学胡适讲了一

段话说,他说,你要为国家牺牲你的自由,可是胡适说,争取你个人的自由,就是争取国家

的自由。柯林顿引用这句话的时候没有引用完,胡适说:「一个真正的开明进步的国家,不

是一群奴才造成的,是要有独立个性,有自由思考的人造成的。」所以柯林顿的演讲引证有

错误,后来又来了一个人,就是连战,他在讲演里面提到了四个字,有点犯忌讳的,可是事

实上他提到了,叫做「自由主义」。各位,连战对自由主义的解释完全错误,他说胡适把自

由主义带到台湾,所以台湾有一股自由主义的学风,在学校里面流传下来了。 我告诉

各位,没这个事,没有人敢这样做,包括连战,他们都不敢这样做,所以自由主义这四个字

虽然在连战的演讲里面,在北大的讲台上面出现了,我告诉你,没有这个东西。很多人说我

李敖是自由主义者,你在大陆,你在共产党统治的地区,我们要看你讲什么话,你要不要宣

传自由主义?我告诉大家,我要宣传,可是内容和你们所了解的都有出入,什么是自由主义?

自由主义我们看到学理上来讲,你出一本书,他出一本书,学理上非常高深,对我而言,没

那么复杂,自由主义只是两个部分,一部分是反求诸己,一部分是反求诸宪法。 我给

大家讲一个故事,台湾在过去清朝统治之前是给郑成功来统治,这是了不起的中国民族英雄,

郑成功的爸爸投降了,郑成功不肯,郑成功妈妈在福建被清朝的兵轮奸了,郑成功发现母亲

被轮奸了,怎么办,我来告诉你怎么办,他把他母亲身体切开,用水冲洗他母亲的尸体,他

认为他母亲被轮奸以后,脏,他母亲脏了,奸是一个动作,污是一个过程,用水冲可以解自

己心理的压力和痛苦。打着红旗反红旗各位想象看,在五四时代,有一

个问题只有胡适先生解决了,别人解决不了,就是有一个北大学生提出来,说他的一个朋友

的姐姐被土匪抢走了,绑票了,当然,也发生了刚才我说的那种不幸的结果,问北大的这些

思想家们,你们怎么样解释这个现象?大家解释不出来,胡适先生做出解释,他说,如果有

男人要讨被害的女孩子,我们要尊敬这个男的,其实在生理上变化很小,心理上难过,所以

如果有这个男的能够破除这种情结,这个男的很了不起,我们应该尊敬他。 世界三大

男高音帕华洛帝,一上来就是这个姿势 ( 双手张开 ) ,请你们鼓掌,为什么鼓掌,因为我

太传神了,你们都忘了鼓掌了。你们不习惯我这种讲话的方式。 今天我站在这里,大

家说,你要不要骂共产党,刚刚我说过,我先替北洋军阀讲了好话,让我替共产党讲一句好

说,说你怎么这样敢为共产党讲好话?为什么不敢?当共产党没有做坏事情的时候,我们为

什么不把真相澄清出来,谁说共产党不许别人讲话,我拿一本书给你们看 ( 拿出「毛泽东

文集」 ) ,当然你们会笑我你在打着红旗反红旗,其实不是,我给你们看一段蛮有趣的,

念给你们听示。 「怕负责任,老虎屁股摸不得」,这是很不对的,有了错,一定要自

我批评,凡是采取这种态度的人,人总是要讲的,既然我摸了老虎屁股。我今天给大家做一

个重大的宣示,我告诉大家,从 18 世纪 19 世纪以来,人类所梦想的自由主义这种追溯方

法都是这个自由那个自由。 可是自由主义最重要的第一个层面是你心灵能不能解放,

都是你自己的事情,你自己没有一个改革开放的自己,永远困扰自己。所以我说,真正的自

由主义者没有人想做,因为太痛苦了,因为太难了,要有很高的文化水平才能做自由主义者,

所以自由主义这一段叫做反求诸己,成功了,我自己就知道。你们乡音没我纯 我不是真正成功,我可能是卖东西的窑子,我是一个处女,这是自由主义的部分,另外一个

部分就是政府有联系,我们人民和政府的联系有几种方式,大家说乡音未改,我没改,可是

你们改了,北京变大了。你们讲的没有我讲的纯,我告诉你,人们和政府的关系第一个关系

就是政府这么坏,我不要活了,我「葛」了。辛亥革命以前的杨虎生在英国跳海,「葛」了,

就是我死了。 第二个感觉我「颠」了,就是跑了,我玩不过你,孔子说,危邦不入,

乱邦不居。第三个是「得」了,林云住在雍和宫附近,他到北京大学来作客,他在大陆录音

机里面,你找不到我,我猫起来了,就是在「葛」了,「颠」了,「得」了,就是藏起来了。第四种「菘」了,小时候我们在北京斗蟋蟀,就是我怕了,我不和你玩了,就是人民和政府,

我怕你,不和你玩了。 第五种就是「火」了,我和你干上了,我生气了,什么时候会

反了,人民忍无可忍的时候就是反。在 1932 年美国就发生一件事情,在第一次世界大战的

时候,很多美国军人打死了。 1918 年世界大战结束,很多兵回来了,要政府赔钱,政府说,

你们现在年轻力壮,现在不给,到 1945 年,你们老了,再给你们钱,大家一听,觉得也好。 结果 1932 年美国发生经济大恐慌,这些老兵憋不住了,跑到华盛顿广场集会,大家饥饿,

由早到晚,由日到夜,都不解散,中央政府广场被占有,好说歹说都不解散。 一个将

军叫做麦克阿瑟元帅,下面带了一个少将叫做巴顿将军,下面带了一个少校叫做艾森豪威尔

威尔,打枪,多少人死掉了,人民在他的中央政府广场里里面盘据不屈,这是美国的形象吗?

我给大家看看一个数据,告诉你们这是什么东西,这就是当年「纽约时报」的头条新闻讲到怎么样的开枪,你们看不清楚,没有关系,证据在这儿,一会主任和校长在这儿可以证明。 看这个表, 1932 年美国群众在中央政府盘据不屈,政府开枪, 1953 年德国群众盘据不屈开枪, 1956 年匈牙利群众盘据不屈,开枪; 1970 年美国又来了,又开枪。 可是人民来讲,逼他开枪,局面造成了我们逼他开枪,我们要不要反省,我们为什么这么笨呢,看看有没有什么聪明的方法,你不能够把政府摆平,你自己跟着受害,说我们争取言论自由,我告诉大家,没有人比我李敖古往今来,争取言论自由最多的,我写过 100 多本书,有 96 本被查禁。 被禁书表比我高 全世界古往今来有没有这么个人写了这么多禁书,而有这么个政府盯着他不放,我把我的书名、以及被查禁的表,你们看有多长。我的书和我著作等身,我这个表已经超过我的身高了,能证明什么,我坐牢就坐牢,你们说,你有抱怨,你抱什么怨,写文章大不了坐牢,你们不愿意,聪明了,觉得你李敖傻,坐那么多牢干什么? 我们现在知道有一种觉悟,我告诉大家,虽然这么多禁书不能卖,写了以后就被抢走了,怎么办呢?我的书在地摊上和黄色书刊一起卖,鱼目混珠,所以我出的书都是露屁股,看起来很凉快的。我的读者根本不是我的读者,他是买黄色书刊,买错了就变成我的读者。所以,我的读者里面有些人是色情狂,你们有没有,我不知道。 我告诉大家,写言论自由争取以后是这个下场,那么我们革命了,项羽这样喊,李自成也可以这样喊,你不能这样喊,项羽拥有武器,李自成拥有武器,和统治者差不多,你有一把刀,我有一把刀,差不多。 现在全世界任何政府的统治者用机关枪,坦克车,所以我说,人民要聪明,争取自由要靠智慧,大家看我这本小说写「北京法源寺」,今天下午我要去法源寺去看看,从来没有去过这个地方,为什么没有去过能把这个小说写得神龙活现,这就是文学家嘛,就干这个的。 我讲我的心里话给你们听,我回头看,除了我们的刘长乐老板以外,主任及校长都不太笑,我一回头看,就很紧张。我在内地最佩服的一个人叫做丁关根,你和他讨论问题绝对不笑,脸绷着一路绷到底,我真的佩服。 中国历史上有一个人和丁关根一样了不起的,叫包公,他也不笑,所以宋朝人当时有一句言语叫做「包公笑,黄河清」,因为这是不可能的事情。 言论自由像 A 片我今天谈言论自由,他们怕,其实有什么好怕的,我举例给大家看,什么东西开放,言论自由会更安全,我今天在这儿最想讲的一句话就是这句话。北欧、瑞典,丹麦他们是全世界性开放最早的地方,丹麦开放 A 片的那一年全国的强奸犯罪率减少了 16 %,不强奸了,看 A 片就好了,头一年全国偷看女人洗澡的偷窥犯减少了 80 %。 按照我们的标准,一定有伤风化,破坏民心士气,我所佩服的一个将军叫做许世友,以前南京军区的司令,南京军区不能看「红楼梦」。 现在告诉大家,瑞典的统计数字告诉我们,强奸犯减少 16 %,偷窥狂减少了 80 %,当您开放小电影的时候,大家整天看,已经平常了,反倒没事了,言论自由本身就是这样的。 我在台湾搞了这么多年的言论自由,结果怎么,整天查禁我的书,说李敖闯祸,影响民心士气,现在的书不禁了,可是也没事了。 我拿张照片给大家看,我指着一个老头子,这老头子前一阵子来到北京,他是国民党的上将叫做许历农,当年做总政战部主任,专门查禁我的书,后来变成好朋友,后来他在公开场合向我道歉,他说我们发现不查禁你这么多书,也不会亡党亡国。 所以今天大家聪明知道了,有些言论开放了以后,是火山一样的喷火口,让它喷出去,言论自由像看 A 片、看小电影一样,让他讲了,让他骂了,让他说了,老虎屁股让他摸了,没什么了不起。 我认为这是今天我们国家领导人最应该知道的一点,可是今天他们知道不知道?还不知道,为什么不知道?为什么柯林顿讲演现场全体全国播出,为什么连战的演讲现场全体播出,我李敖在这儿,为什么要想想看再播出? 看看毛主席的词「俏也不争春,只把春来报,待到春花烂漫时,她在丛中笑」,可是我告诉你,毛主席第一次原稿不是这样的。他的原稿是他在旁边笑,他是个旁观者变成在中间,大家知道这是什么境界呢?看王国维写的诗「人间词话」,「有我之境,有无我之境」。 现在女孩子

穿的是裤袜,以前女孩子穿的是玻璃丝袜,在大腿中间有吊带,你把这个袜子送给美国人,美国很高兴,我有全世界最好的玻璃丝袜,你把这个袜子送给法国女人,她会说我有了全世界最漂亮的大腿。 她把袜子穿上去以后,所以她有了全世界最漂亮的大腿,袜子没有穿上以前,我有了全世界最漂亮的丝袜,穿上去后,你有了全世界最漂亮的腿,就是他在旁边笑,丝袜套上大腿,就是他在花中笑。 现在北大太孬了 今天我来到这儿,香港一句俗话就是「不是猛龙不过江」,我敢来,我是个自由主义者,我敢骂国民党、敢骂小日本和老美,今天我来,不是骂人我也捧人,我捧了北洋军阀给您看。 那个时候北大怎么样对待政府,教育部公文来了退回不看,北大多狠,教育部钱来了,收进来了。现在的北大太孬了,在我看来,什么原因,怎么样可以不孬,我们的书记站起来,校长站起来,像我们以前的老校长马寅初不就是这样吗? 北大马寅初干了九年的校长,在国民党时代被软禁,后来在北大做校长的时候,本来和毛泽东感情好得很,为了人口政策两个人的看法变了,马寅初说中国人这样生下去我们不得了,我们的财政都被吃掉了。 王八多不是坏事 毛主席说,人多没有关系,人多好办事情,结果毛主席赢了,大家斗马寅初,一路斗到马寅初床前面的墙,都贴了大字报,可是马说我不在乎,我要干到死,我要孤军奋战,结果他没有死,他活到 100 岁,别人都死了,他还活着。 这就是北大精神,北大的教育,所以我说今天从北大开始,虽然毛主席说,北京大学水浅王八多,多几个王八也不是坏事。 我的话其实讲不完的,可是今天的重点大体上就说到这儿了,这些书你们懒得看,我告诉你,我看得熟不得了,我念一段周总理的话给你们听:「人民大众是有充分的思想自由的。」 所以今天我要替共产党讲好话,大家说共产党不让人讲话,是错的,是一部分共产党把毛主席周总理根本的精神给它紧缩了,才有今天的现象。 因为我和大家说,共产党有它自由的成分,过去被打压是一个错误,所以我们总觉得共产党一党专制是错的,必须说,整个的原因出在原来的马克思那里,可是现在我们知道有中国式的社会主义。我请大家问问,社会主义不够,为什么前面要加中国式的社会主义,因为社会主义不够,可是不灵了说不出口,夹了一个帽子,中国式的社会主义,不是吗? 我告诉各位,你们都不看毛选集,都有这段话,毛主席最后的一段话,你们听了绝对会惊心动魄,我念书给你们听,这些骂我们的像农民,像龙云、梁漱溟,我们要把它养起来,让他们骂,骂得无理,我们反驳,骂得有理我们接受。 这对党对人民,对社会主义比较有利。毛泽东思想里面有一部分是真的懂这个道理的,结果我们把这一部分毛泽东给忽略掉了,还有一个毛泽东你们知道他是谁吗? 共产党到今天还存在,我愿意它存在一千年,和我们是什么关系,共产党讲两手策略,一手是软的,一手是硬的。 抱住,我们也抱住它,共产党愿意为人们服务吗?我们就是人民,让它为我们服务,辛巴达过河的时候忽然有一个老头子爬上他的脖子让他背着他,你跟着我走结果是星光大道,怎么样甩他也甩不掉。 你要照顾他,我们希望共产党活一千年,我们在它背上贴着它,哄着它,耐着它,让它为我们服务,有什么不好,我们不服气要打,玩言论自由你们玩不过我,你们要革命你们玩不过坦克车,说我们不搞这些,那搞,我们去「葛」了,去「颠」了,去「得」了,去「反」了,用这种不健康的情绪在家里生闷气。拍桌子摔板凳是错误的,我们要和共产党合作,其实他们人太多了一点,现在共产党是 6900 万,比台湾人口多 3 倍,可是没有关系,你们要放弃自由,你们救共产党我们欢迎,可是我们还有老百姓。 共产党不喜欢笑 13 亿人口和 6900 万比起来是 19 : 1 , 19 个人里面有一个是共产党,广大的中国人民要干什么,我们放弃过去那种打天下、作对,反政府的念头,为什么落伍了,因为没有可行性。 人民会吃亏,共产党说,下一代的共产党很聪明,我看到胡锦涛真的很聪明,我们也很聪明,这个时代对我们也很有利,大家都忘了,王羲之的儿子王雱在书店里看书,死背,为什么要死背呢,因为没有钱买书。宋朝的王安石和他的好朋友说,我儿子是神童,看书一遍就看会,他的好朋友说哪家儿子看两遍,都是一遍看会,因为有高度智慧的人才能看书,今天我们就是

这种人,你们北京大学就是这种人。 各位想想看,等一下我把我爸爸在北大的文凭给你们看,我要送给校长,送给主任,那个时候毕业, 1926 年北大毕业, 365 个人,

今天 3 万,你们学校这么多人,大家想想看,我小时候一个中学生后面跟着 4000 个文盲。 我爸爸是北京大学的学生,可是我们想想看,今天你们的责任是什么,就是背后有这么多的人,他们在精英上精英不过你,本来你们从出生就是胜利者,父母亲受胎的时候是 2 、 3 亿的精子往前跑,后来是一个精子才出了你们。 你们赢了 13 亿,所以你们到了北京大学,不要以为到美国得了博士就完了,大家可以看到李文就是典型的例子,到了美国得了博士,得了什么会失落的,所以我和大家说,我们要拥抱共产党。 共产党不喜欢笑,共产党太严肃,我们把它放宽一点,就是我今天的主要目的。 我讲这一点很多人提心吊胆,包括我在内,人家说,你到大陆来要不要看长城,我说我可能没上长城先进了秦城 ( 监狱 ) 。 为什么说我不伤感,我不能伤感,我看到的北京是什么北京,以前我到店里的时候,他看我知道我买不起这杯东西,他会倒杯茶给我,那样彬彬有礼的北京已经没有了,现在是处处设防的北京,当你对人处处设防的时候,人心变了。 今天我做个样板给大家看,我捐了 35 万块人民币是为胡适在北京立铜像,就是告诉大家,其实胡适思想是最温和的,对我们有利的,现在我们开始知道立个铜像给他,当时胡适在我穷困的时候送了 1000

元台币给我,今天我相当于 1500 倍的人情来还,你们是这种人吗?可是有钱舍不得。 十天以前我离开看到高金素梅去联合国去宣布日本人可恶的时候,我还送了他 100 万台币,不要以为我李敖有钱,大家知道我在坐出租车吗 ?? 威武不能屈,富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移,时髦不能动,谢谢各位! (2005-09-21)

李敖在复旦大学的精彩演讲(全文)(图为李敖在复旦大学的演讲) 李敖开始演讲: 刘长乐先生感谢你,没有你我今天不会站在这儿。姜院长是我的老朋友,所以我可以开一句玩笑,他为了把我今天讲话故意的学术化,所以变成了这种样子,和他坐在一起。其实我跟大家说,他讲得太长了,并且他的普通话讲得不够好。学问一级棒,语言不好。我跟大家说,我最怕这种讲堂,原因讲过,作为一个演讲的人,他要很礼貌地照顾每一位,可是当讲堂是这个样子的时候,从左到右,从右到左,我就觉得我自己是一台电风扇。今天我在这里很倚老卖老地说,我看过的上海你们都没有看过。远在56年以前,当我离开上海的时候,我看到一幅景象就是在这个外滩,在银行的面前,上海的警察骑着大马手里拿着皮鞭打群众,群众怎么来的?清早5点钟戒严的时间一解开,四面八方涌向上海的银行,干什么呢?去挤兑黄金。这些黄金是当时国民党政府搜刮了人们的财产,用金圆券搜刮人民财产,就是说你家里有黄金,除了你手指上的金戒指以外,全部向政府来兑换金圆券。如果不兑换的话,黄金没收,人法办。这些黄金被国民党政府搜刮走了以后,忽然一夜之间要卖出来了,就是你

helping every american with autism achieve their full potential is one of this administration’s top priorities. at the u.s.

department of health and human services, we continue to strive to meet the complex needs of all people with autism spectrum disorders (asd) and their families. while there is no cure, early intervention is critical and can greatly improve a child’s development.

perhaps the biggest step we’ve taken to support those affected by autism and their families happened over a year ago, with the signing of the affordable care act. now, new insurance plans are required to cover autism screening and developmental assessments for children at no cost to parents. insurers will also no longer be

allowed to deny children coverage for a pre-existing condition such as asd or to set arbitrary lifetime or annual limits on benefits.also, thanks to the new law, young adults are allowed to stay on their family health insurance until they turn 26. for a young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their family, that means peace of mind. it means more flexibility, more options, and more opportunity to reach their full potential.

ultimately, there is more support for americans with autism than ever before. this means more promise of new breakthroughs that will help us understand autism even better. but in order to continue meeting the needs of people with autism, the combating autism act must be fully reauthorized. we still have a long way to go. working

collaboratively with important partners, the affordable care act and the combating autism act will allow us to continue important research and develop and refine vital treatments.

there are still many unknowns. however, one thing is certain. we will continue to work harder than ever to find solutions and provide support to individuals with asd and their families. together, we can help reduce disparities and allow everyone to actualize their greatest potential.

篇三:名人演讲中英文对照

释放你的创造力

比尔盖茨

I've been an optimist and I supposed that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. It's was a clunky and teletype machine that barely do anything compared to the computer we have today. But it changed my life.

When my friend Paul Allen and I stared Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of "a computer on every desk and in every home," which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believe that personal computer would change the world. And they have.

And after 30 years, I still inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.

我天生乐观,坚信人类凭创造力和聪明才智可以让世界日益美妙,这一设想一直根植于我的内心深处。

自从记事起,我就热衷于接触新事物、挑战难题。可想而知,我上七年级时第一次坐在计算机前是何等着迷,如入无我之境。那是一台锵锵作响的旧牌机器,和我们今天拥有的计算机相比,它相当逊色几乎一无所用,但正是它改变了我的生活。

30年前,我和朋友保罗·艾伦创办微软时,我们幻想实现"在每个家庭、在每张办公桌上都有一台计算机",这在大多数的计算机体积如同冰箱的尺寸的年代,听起来有点异想天开。但是我们相信个人电脑将改变世界。今天看来果真如此。30年后,我仍然象上七年级的时候那样为计算机而狂热着迷。

I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness-to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn't solve on their own. Computer have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge. They're helping us build communicates around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.

Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day I love to do. He calls it "tap-dancing to work". My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me "tap-dancing to the work" is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetime's worth of photos, and the say: "I didn't know you can do that with a pc!"

But for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.

我相信计算机是我们用来满足好奇心及发明创造的最神奇的工具--有了它们的帮助,甚至是最聪明的人凭自身力量无法应对的难题都将迎刃而解。计算机已经改变了我们的学习方式,为全球各地的孩子们开启了一扇通向大千世界知识的窗户。它可以帮我们围绕我们关注的事物建立"群",让我们和那些对自己重要的人保持密切联系,不管他们身处何方。

就像我的朋友沃伦·布非一样,我为每天都能做自己热爱的事情而感到无比幸运。他称之为"踢踏舞工作"。我在微软的工作永远充满挑战,但使我一直坚持"踢踏舞工作"的是我们向人们展示某些新成果的那些时刻,当他们看到计算机能辨认笔迹、语音或者能存储值得

保留一辈子的照片时就会赞不绝口:"我不敢相信个人电脑竟如此万能"。但是,除了能用电脑做出很酷的事情之外,我们还能通过许多别的方式在工作中发挥自己的创造力和聪明才智,以改善我们的世界。全球仍有许许多多的人连最基本的生存需求都未能解决。举例来说,每年仍有数以万计的人死于那些在发达国家易于预防和治疗的疾病。

I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility tp give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.

As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant. or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else. And that doesn't take much to make an immense difference in these children's lives.

我认为,我所拥有的大量财富也使我负有回馈社会的责任。我的妻子梅林达和我致力于为尽可能多的人改善健康和教育.

作为一个父亲,我认为,非洲孩子死去所引起的痛苦和悲伤丝毫不亚于任何其他的孩子的死亡;我认为,使这些孩子们的命运发生翻天地覆的变化并不费太大力气。

I'm still very optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world's toughest problems is possible-and it's happening every day. We're seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.

I'm excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness , creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.

我仍是一个坚定的乐观主义者,我坚信即使世界级难题取得进展都是有可能的--其实每天也都在发生着这种事情。我们看到治疗致命疾病的新药、新的诊断器械不断出现,而且,发展中国家的健康问题进入了人们的视野并日益得到重视。

我为医药、教育,当然还有技术发展的诸多前景而欢欣鼓舞。我相信,凭借人类与生俱来的发明创造能力和不畏艰难、坚忍不拔的品格,在我的有生之年里我们将在所有这些领域都创造出可喜的成就。

Duty, Honor, Country

MacArthur

General Westmoreland, General Grove, distinguished guests, and gentlemen of the Corps! As I was leaving the hotel this morning, a doorman asked me, &q(原文来自:wWw.xiaOcAofANweN.coM 小 草 范 文 网:世界名人演讲)uot;Where are you bound for, General?" And when I replied, "West Point," he remarked, "Beautiful place. Have you ever been there before?"

No human being could fail to be deeply moved by such a tribute as this [Thayer Award]. Coming from a profession I have served so long, and a people I have loved so well, it fills me with an emotion I cannot express. But this award is not intended primarily to honor a personality, but to symbolize a great moral code -- the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land of culture and ancient descent. That is the animation of this medallion. For all eyes and for all time, it is an expression of the ethics of the American soldier. That I should be integrated in this way with so noble an ideal arouses a sense of pride and yet of humility which will be with me always: Duty, Honor, Country.

Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

Unhappily, I possess neither that eloquence of diction, that poetry of imagination, nor that brilliance of metaphor to tell you all that they mean. The unbelievers will say they are but words, but a slogan, but a flamboyant phrase. Every pedant, every demagogue, every cynic, every hypocrite, every troublemaker, and I am sorry to say, some others of an entirely different character, will try to downgrade them even to the extent of mockery and ridicule.

But these are some of the things they do. They build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the custodians of the nation's defense. They make you strong enough to know when you are weak, and brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid. They teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for actions, not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge; to learn to stand up in the storm but to have compassion on those who fall; to master yourself before you seek to master others; to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; to reach into the future yet never neglect the past; to be serious yet never to take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. They give you a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of an appetite for adventure over love of ease. They create in your heart the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what next, and the joy and inspiration of life. They teach you in this way to be an officer and a gentleman.

And what sort of soldiers are those you are to lead? Are they reliable? Are they brave? Are they capable of victory? Their story is known to all of you. It is the story of the American man-at-arms. My estimate of him was formed on the battlefield many, many years ago, and has never changed. I regarded him then as I regard him now -- as one of the world's noblest figures, not only as one of the finest military characters, but also as one of the most stainless. His name and fame are the birthright of every American citizen. In his youth and strength, his love and loyalty, he gave all that mortality can give.

He needs no eulogy from me or from any other man. He has written his own history and written it in red on his enemy's breast. But when I think of his patience under adversity, of his courage under fire, and of his modesty in victory, I am filled with an emotion of admiration I cannot put into words. He belongs to history as furnishing one of the greatest examples of successful patriotism. He belongs to posterity as the instructor of future generations in the principles of liberty and freedom. He belongs to the present, to us, by his virtues and by his achievements. In 20 campaigns, on a hundred battlefields, around a thousand campfires, I have witnessed that enduring fortitude, that patriotic self-abnegation, and that invincible determination which have carved his statue in the hearts of his people. From one end of the world to the other he

has drained deep the chalice of courage.

As I listened to those songs [of the glee club], in memory's eye I could see those staggering columns of the First World War, bending under soggy packs, on many a weary march from dripping dusk to drizzling dawn, slogging ankle-deep through the mire of shell-shocked roads, to form grimly for the attack, blue-lipped, covered with sludge and mud, chilled by the wind and rain, driving home to their objective, and for many, to the judgment seat of God.

I do not know the dignity of their birth, but I do know the glory of their death.

They died unquestioning, uncomplaining, with faith in their hearts, and on their lips the hope that we would go on to victory.

Always, for them: Duty, Honor, Country; always their blood and sweat and tears, as we sought the way and the light and the truth.

And 20 years after, on the other side of the globe, again the filth of murky foxholes, the stench of ghostly trenches, the slime of dripping dugouts; those boiling suns of relentless heat, those torrential rains of devastating storms; the loneliness and utter desolation of jungle trails; the bitterness of long separation from those they loved and cherished; the deadly pestilence of tropical disease; the horror of stricken areas of war; their resolute and determined defense, their swift and sure attack, their indomitable purpose, their complete and decisive victory -- always victory. Always through the bloody haze of their last reverberating shot, the vision of gaunt, ghastly men reverently following your password of: Duty, Honor, Country.

The code which those words perpetuate embraces the highest moral laws and will stand the test of any ethics or philosophies ever promulgated for the uplift of mankind. Its requirements are for the things that are right, and its restraints are from the things that are wrong.

The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training -- sacrifice.

In battle and in the face of danger and death, he discloses those divine attributes which his Maker gave when he created man in his own image. No physical courage and no brute instinct can take the place of the Divine help which alone can sustain him.

However horrible the incidents of war may be, the soldier who is called upon to offer and to give his life for his country is the noblest development of mankind.

You now face a new world -- a world of change. The thrust into outer space of the satellite, spheres, and missiles mark the beginning of another epoch in the long story of mankind. In the five or more billions of years the scientists tell us it has taken to form the earth, in the three or more billion years of development of the human race, there has never been a more abrupt or staggering evolution. We deal now not with things of this world alone, but with the illimitable

distances and as yet unfathomed mysteries of the universe. We are reaching out for a new and boundless frontier.

We speak in strange terms: of harnessing the cosmic energy; of making winds and tides work for us; of creating unheard synthetic materials to supplement or even replace our old standard basics; to purify sea water for our drink; of mining ocean floors for new fields of wealth and food; of disease preventatives to expand life into the hundreds of years; of controlling the weather for a more equitable distribution of heat and cold, of rain and shine; of space ships to the moon; of the primary target in war, no longer limited to the armed forces of an enemy, but instead to include his civil populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy; of such dreams and fantasies as to make life the most exciting of all time.

And through all this welter of change and development, your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable: it is to win our wars.

Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purposes, all other public projects, all other public needs, great or small, will find others for their accomplishment. But you are the ones who are trained to fight. Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory; that if you lose, the nation will be destroyed; that the very obsession of your public service must be: Duty, Honor, Country.

Others will debate the controversial issues, national and international, which divide men's minds; but serene, calm, aloof, you stand as the Nation's war-guardian, as its lifeguard from the raging tides of international conflict, as its gladiator in the arena of battle. For a century and a half you have defended, guarded, and protected its hallowed traditions of liberty and freedom, of right and justice.

Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government; whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing, indulged in too long, by federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be. These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night: Duty, Honor, Country.

You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains who hold the nation's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country.

This does not mean that you are war mongers.
