名人英语演讲稿tribute to diana
致戴安娜——查尔斯·斯宾塞 在全世界，戴安娜是同情心、责任心、风度和美丽的化身，是无私和人道的象征，是维
护真正被践踏的权益的旗手，是一个超越国界的英国女孩，是一个带有自然的高贵气质的人，
是一个不分阶层的人。this is the text of earl spencers tribute to his sister at her funeral. there
is some very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment. would that those at whom it is
aimed would take heed. the versions posted on several news services had minor errors.
this is precisely as it was deliverd. i stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country
in mourning before a world in shock. we are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to diana but rather
in our need to do so. for such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking
part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually
met her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of sunday
morning. it is a more remarkable tribute to diana than i can ever hope to offer her
today. today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even
though god granted you but half a life. we will all feel cheated, always, that you
were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along
at all. only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want
you to know that life without you is very, very difficult. we have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of
the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength
to move forward. there is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory. there is no need to do
so. you stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen
as a saint. indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of
your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you
double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle
in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely contain.but your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely.
this is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. and if we look to analyze
what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive
feel for what was really important in all our lives. without your god-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance
at the anguish of aids and hiv sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation
of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. diana explained to me once that it
was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with
her constituency of the rejected. the world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her
vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty. the last time i saw diana was
on july the first, her birthday, in london, when typically she was not taking time
to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fund-raising
charity evening. she sparkled of course, but i would rather cherish the days i spent with her in
march when she came to visit me and my children in our home in south africa. i am
proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting president
mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a
single picture of her. that meant a lot to her. these were days i will always treasure. it was as if wed been transported back
to our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two
youngest in the family.fundamentally she hadnt changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as
a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our
parents homes with me at weekends. it is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength
that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact,
true to herself. there is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this
time. she talked endlessly of getting away from england, mainly because of the treatment she
received at the hands of the newspapers. i dont think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered
at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring
her down. it is baffling. my own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is
threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. it is a point to remember that of all the ironies about diana, perhaps the greatest
was this; that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the
end, the most hunted person of the modern age. she would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys william
and harry from a similar fate. and i do this here, diana, on your behalf. we will
not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful
despair.beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, i pledge that we, your blood
family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you
were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply
immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned. we fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born, and will always
respect and encourage them in their royal role. but we, like you, recognize the need
for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm them
spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. i know you would have expected
nothing less from us. william and harry, we all care desperately for you today. we are all chewed up
with sadness at the loss of a woman who wasnt even our mother. how great your suffering
is we cannot even imagine.i would like to end by thanking god for the small mercies he has shown us at this
dreadful time; for taking diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had
joy in her private life.释放你的创造力
比尔盖茨
ive 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.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。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。 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 doesnt take much to make
an immense difference in these childrens 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。 im still very optimist, and i believe that progress on even the worlds toughest
problems is possible-and its happening every day. were seeing new drugs for deadly
diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the
developing world.
im 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, were 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, countrymacarthur
general westmoreland, general grove, distinguished guests, and gentlemen of the
corps! as i was leaving the hotel this morning, a doorman asked me, where are you
bound for, general? and when i replied, west point, he remarked, beautiful place.
have you ever been there before?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. 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 worlds 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 enemys 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 hehas drained deep the chalice of courage.as i listened to those songs [of the glee club], in memorys 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.always, for them: duty, honor, country; always their blood and sweat and tears,
as we sought the way and the light and the truth. 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 illimitabledistances 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. others will debate the controversial issues, national and international, which
divide mens minds; but serene, calm, aloof, you stand as the nations 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. this does not mean that you are war mongers.篇三：英文演讲介绍名人

continue the existing diplomatic negotiations,it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
it will be recorded that the distance of hawaii from japan makes it
obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago.during the intervening time,the japanese government has deliberately hope for continued peace.

合众国当时同该国处于和平状态，并且，根据日本的请求，当时仍在同该国政府和该国天皇举行着会话，但愿维持承平洋地域的和平，实际上，就在日本空队伍中队已经起头轰炸美国瓦胡岛然后一钟头，日本驻合众国大使及其同事还向国务卿提交处理了对美国最近致日方的信函的正式答复。虽则复函声言继续现行交际谈判已一无用法，它并未包罗关于战争或武装进击的威胁或暗示。
应该记录在案的是：思量到夏威夷同日本的间隔，此次进击显然是很多天乃至若干礼拜之前就已蓄谋筹谋的。在筹谋的历程中，日本政府通过虚假的声明和表示但愿维护和平处心积虑地棍骗合众国。
昨天对夏威夷群岛的进击，给美国海陆军军队造成了紧张的损伤。我遗憾地告诉各位，很多美国人损失了生命。此外，据报告，美国商船在旧金山和火奴鲁鲁之间的公海上也遭到了鱼雷袭击。
昨天，日本政府已策动了对马来亚的进击。
昨夜，日本军队袭击了喷鼻港。昨夜，日本军队攻击了关岛。
昨夜，日本军队攻击了菲律宾群岛。 昨夜，日本人袭击了威克岛。 今晨，日本人袭击了中途岛。 因此，日本在整个承平洋地区范围承平洋地区范围策动了俄然攻势。发生在昨天和今天的事证实了这一点。美国人民很是明白，并且十分清楚这关系到我们国家的安全和保存的紧张事态。
作为三军总司令，我已申令，采取一切措施保卫我们的国家。
我们整个国家都将永远记住此次对我们的无耻进击。
不论要用多长的时间才气战胜此次蓄谋已久的入侵，美国人民以自己的公理力量必患上赢患上绝对的胜利。
我现在断言，我们不仅要作出最大的努力来保卫我们自己，我们还将确保这种形式的违信弃义永远不会再威胁到我们。我相信抒发了国会和人民的意志。
战争已经起头。我国人民，我国国土和我国利益都处于紧张危险之中，对此我们不必闪烁其辞。
相信我们的武装军队--依靠我国人民的坚定刻意--我们必将取患上最后的胜利--愿天主助我！ 我要求国会宣布：自1941年12月7日--礼拜天日本举行无缘无故和鄙俚胆小的进击时起，合众国和日本帝国之间已处于战争状态。美国第32任总统富兰克林·d·罗斯福(franklin d.roosevelt)(1933-1945)，一直被视为美国历史上最伟大的总统之一，是20世纪美国最孚人望和受爱戴的总统，也是美国历史上惟一蝉联4届总统的人，从1933年3月起，直至1945年4月去世时截止，担任职务长达12年。曾赢患上美国民众长达7周的高支持率，创下历史记录。
富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福出生于纽约。父亲詹姆斯·罗斯福是一个百万财主。母亲萨拉·德拉诺比父亲小26岁。罗斯福曾就读于哈佛大学和哥伦比亚大学。1910年任纽约州参议员。1913年任海军部副部长。1921年因患脊髓灰质炎致残。1928年任纽约州长。1932年竞选总统获胜。执政后，以新政对付经济危机，颇有成效，故获患上1936年、1940年、1944年大选蝉联。第二次世界大战初，美国采取不参与政策，但对希特勒采取倔强手段，以租借法支持同盟国。1941年底，美国参战。罗斯福代表美国两次参加同盟国三巨头会议。罗斯福政府提出了轴心国必需无条件投降的原则并获患上了实施。罗斯福提出了建立联合国的构想，也获患上了实施。63岁时由于脑溢血去世。
很多网友相信都看过影戏《珍珠港》(pearl
harbor)，第二次世界大战在欧亚大陆打的如火如荼，而跨海相隔的美国却隔岸不雅火，仿佛事不关己。直至1941年12月7日早晨7点53分，日本奇袭美军在夏威夷的基地珍珠港。次日，美国总统罗斯福在国会愤然揭晓了这篇的演讲，至此，承平洋战争全面爆发。日本狙击珍珠港的历史违景：
日本从1941年中起头向东南亚的发展引起了这个地域主要强国的不安，为了给日本一点颜色，美国冻结了对日本的经济贸易，其中重要的是高辛烷石油，没有石油日本的飞机无法仙游，舰艇无法在海中行驶，日本就无法继续对外扩张。
加上日本的石油只能维持半年的时间，日本明白，要么从其中国撤军，停止对外扩张，交际上向美国挨近。要么自组旗帜，南下夺取战略资源，继续加强对外侵略。南洋有美国，英国，荷兰的半殖民地，进兵南洋就等于向美盎司国宣战。
承平洋上的珍珠港是交通的主要枢纽，夏威夷东距美国西海岸，西距日本，西南到诸岛群，北到阿拉斯加和白令海峡，都在2000海里到3000海里之间，跨越承平洋南来北往的飞机，都以夏威夷为中续站。日本认为先在承平洋上夺取制空制海权就意味着南下的道路没有阻碍畅通，必需先摧毁珍珠港，于是日本筹谋了珍珠港奇袭。
日本政府决定占领东南亚的资源作为对禁运的回答。他们不克不及假定，假如他们起头行动了，美国会在一旁袖手旁不雅?这是山本半百六思量事先覆灭美国在承平洋的力量的原因。日本联合舰队司令山本半百六袭击珍珠港的海军基地的计划是实现这个战略目的中的一个战术步骤。日本资料显示山本于1941年初起头思量袭击珍珠港。数月后，在做了一些预先考察后，他被批准起头准备这个行动。日本海军内部有强烈的阻挡这样一个行动的力量。山本威胁，假如这个行动被中止的话，他将引退。1941年夏，在一次由日本天皇亲自出席的御前会议上，这个行动正式被批准。11月，在另一次天皇亲自出席的御前会议上，出兵承平洋的决定被批准。在11月的会议上还决定，只有在美国完全同意日本主要要求的的环境下才放弃此次行动。 袭击珍珠港的目的是为了(至少暂时)覆灭美国海军在承平洋上的主力。袭击珍珠港计划的筹谋者山本半百六本人认为一次成功的袭击只能带来一年左右的战略上风。从1931年起头日本
与中邦交战，此前天本占领了满洲。从1941年1月日本起头计划袭击珍珠港以取患上战略上风，颠末一些海军内部的讨论和争执后从年中起头日本海军起头为此次行动举行严格的训练。 日本计划的一部分是在袭击前(并且必需在袭击前)中止与美国的协商。到12月7日截止，日本驻华盛顿大使中的交际官一直在与美外洋交部举行很广泛的讨论，包括美国对日本在1941年夏入侵东南亚的反应。袭击前天本大使从日本交际部获患上了一封很长的电报，并受令在袭击前(华盛顿时间下午一时)将它递交国务卿科德尔·赫尔。但大使人员未能实时解码和打印这篇很长的国书。最后这篇宣战书在袭击后才递交给美国。这个延迟增长了美国对此次袭击的愤怒，它是罗斯福总统将这天称为一个无耻的日期的主要原因。山本上将似乎同意这个不雅点。在日美合拍的影戏《虎！虎！虎！》中他被援用说：我恐怕我们将一个甜睡的伟人叫醒了，现在他充满了愤怒。(这句话山本本人可能从未说过，即使如此他似乎的确如此觉患上)。 实际上这篇国书在日本递交美国前就已经被美国解码了。乔治·卡特利特·马歇尔在读过这篇国著作后面立刻向夏威夷送出了一张紧急警告，但由于美军内部传送系统的混乱这篇电报不患上不通过民用电信局来传达。在路上它落空了它的紧急标志。袭击数钟头后一个年轻的日裔美国邮递员将这张电保送到美军司令部。林肯(1809~1865)
lincoln，abraham
美国总统(1861~1865)。1809年2月12日生于肯塔基州。自幼从事体力劳动，成年后当过雇农、船夫、小市肆伴计，也做过村落邮务员和土地测量员。
林肯没有受过系统的教诲，可是通过自学，涉猎了关于法律、文学、修辞学及历史等方面的书籍，尤其是专攻法律。1834~1840年4次被选入伊利诺伊州议会。1836年通过律师资格考试，开业当律师。1838年公开阻挡奴隶制，成为州议会辉格党的领袖。
1847年，当选为美国国会众议员。他的主张和活动代表北方资产阶层的利益。阻挡奴隶制度，但不是废奴主义者，阻挡立刻解放奴隶，更阻挡解放奴隶而不给奴隶主以赔偿。因此，在阻挡奴隶制问题上他归属温和派。1856年加入共和党。在1860年的总统选举中，共和党获胜，林肯当选为总统。不久，南方奴隶主策动叛乱，挑起南北战争。1862年五月林肯颁布《宅地法》，划定公民缴付10美元登记费，可在西部领取64.74公顷土地，耕种5年后归其所有。林肯为了早日恢复联邦的统一而积极筹谋和带领战争，但他最初不敢触动南方奴隶制度。1862年9月22日，由于战况不利和人--动的压力，揭晓预报性的《解放宣言》草案。这个宣言标志着林肯从阻挡奴隶制度改变为废奴主义者。1862年末，他不顾保守分子一再施加的压力，拒不收回关于解放奴隶的决定，并在1863年1月1日揭晓正式的《解放宣言》。厥后又竭尽全尽力促使使国会两院通过宪法第13条修正案。该修正案划定在合众国国土上永远禁绝奴隶制。为了把阻挡奴隶制的战争举行到底，1863年，他坚决征召黑人参加部队，使成千累万的黑人走上战场，为战争的胜利作出了伟大的贡献。1864年3月，他升引u.s.格兰特为联邦军总司令，这对于内战的最后胜利起了相当重要的作用。
1864年11月林肯再次当选为总统。1865年4月14日晚，林肯在华盛顿的福特剧院里被维护奴隶制的狂热分子j.w.布思开枪打伤，翌晨逝世。林肯：葛底斯堡演讲(中英文) the gettysburg address gettysburg,pennsylvania november 19,1863 four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent,a new
nation,conceived in liberty,and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
now we are engaged in agreat civil war,testing whether that nation,or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,can long endure.we are met on agreat field,as afinal resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
but,in alarger sense,we can not dedicate--we can not consecrate--we can not hallow--this ground.the brave men,living and dead,who struggled
here,have consecrated it,far above our poor power to add or detract.the world will little note,nor long remember what we say here,but it can never
forget what they did here.it is for us the living,rather,to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of
devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died
in vain--that this nation,under god,shall have anew birth of freedom--and that government of the people,by the people,for the people,shall not perish from the earth. 主讲：亚伯拉罕林肯 时间：1863年11月19日
地点：美国，宾夕法尼亚，葛底斯堡
八十七年之前，我们的祖先在这大陆上建立了一个国家，它孕育于自由，并且投身给一种理念，即所有人都是小时候起平等的。
时下，我们正在从事一次伟大的内战，我们在磨练，究竟这个国家，或任何一个有这种主张和这种信仰的国家，是否能长久存在。我们在那次战争的一个伟大的战场上集会。我们来到这里，奉献阿谁战场上的一部分土地，作为在此地为阿谁国家的保存而牺牲了自己生命的人的永世眠息之所。我们这样做，是十分合情合理的。
可是，就更深一层意义而言，我们是无从奉献这片土地的--无从使它成为圣地--也不克不及把它变为许多人景仰之所。那些在这里战斗的猛士，活着的和死去的，已使这块土地神圣化了，远非我们的菲薄能力所能左右。世人会半大注意，更不会长久想的起来我们在此地所说的话，然而他们将永远忘不了这些人在这里所做的事。相反，我们活着的人应该投身于那些曾在此作战的许多人所英勇推动而尚未完成的事情。我们应该在此投身于我们面前所篇二：69篇世界名人英语演讲词

名人英语演讲稿tribute to diana
致戴安娜——查尔斯·斯宾塞 在全世界，戴安娜是同情心、责任心、风度和美丽的化身，是无私和人道的象征，是维
护真正被践踏的权益的旗手，是一个超越国界的英国女孩，是一个带有自然的高贵气质的人，
是一个不分阶层的人。this is the text of earl spencers tribute to his sister at her funeral. there
is some very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment. would that those at whom it is
aimed would take heed. the versions posted on several news services had minor errors.
this is precisely as it was deliverd. i stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country
in mourning before a world in shock. we are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to diana but rather
in our need to do so. for such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking
part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually
met her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of sunday
morning. it is a more remarkable tribute to diana than i can ever hope to offer her
today. today is our chance to say thank you for the way you brightened our lives, even
though god granted you but half a life. we will all feel cheated, always, that you
were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along
at all. we have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of
the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength
to move forward. there is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory. there is no need to do
so. you stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen
as a saint. indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of
your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you
double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle
in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely contain.but your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely.
this is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. and if we look to analyze
what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive
feel for what was really important in all our lives. without your god-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance
at the anguish of aids and hiv sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation
of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. diana explained to me once that it
was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with
her constituency of the rejected. the world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her
vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty. the last time i saw diana was
on july the first, her birthday, in london, when typically she was not taking time
to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fund-raising
charity evening. she sparkled of course, but i would rather cherish the days i spent with her in
march when she came to visit me and my children in our home in south africa. i am
proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting president
mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a
single picture of her. that meant a lot to her. these were days i will always treasure. it was as if wed been transported back
to our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two
youngest in the family.fundamentally she hadnt changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as
a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our
parents homes with me at weekends. it is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength
that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact,
true to herself. there is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this
time. she talked endlessly of getting away from england, mainly because of the treatment she
received at the hands of the newspapers. i dont think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered
at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring
her down. it is baffling. my own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is
threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. it is a point to remember that of all the ironies about diana, perhaps the greatest
was this; that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the
end, the most hunted person of the modern age. she would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys william
and harry from a similar fate. and i do this here, diana, on your behalf. we will
not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful
despair.beyo
family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you
were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply
immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned. we fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born, and will always
respect and encourage them in their royal role. but we, like you, recognize the need
for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm them
spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. i know you would have expected
nothing less from us. william and harry, we all care desperately for you today. we are all chewed up
with sadness at the loss of a woman who wasnt even our mother. how great your suffering
is we cannot even imagine.i would like to end by thanking god for the small mercies he has shown us at this
dreadful time; for taking diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had
joy in her private life.释放你的创造力

ive 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.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。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。 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 doesnt take much to make
an immense difference in these childrens 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。 im still very optimist, and i believe that progress on even the worlds toughest
problems is possible-and its happening every day. were seeing new drugs for deadly
diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the
developing world.
im 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, were 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, countrymacarthur
general westmoreland, general grove, distinguished guests, and gentlemen of the
corps! as i was leaving the hotel this morning, a doorman asked me, where are you
bound for, general? and when i replied, west point, he remarked, beautiful place.
have you ever been there before?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. 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 worlds 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 enemys 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 hehas drained deep the chalice of courage.as i listened to those songs [of the glee club], in memorys 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.always, for them: duty, honor, country; always their blood and sweat and tears,
as we sought the way and the light and the truth. 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 illimitabledistances 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. others will debate the controversial issues, national and international, which
divide mens minds; but serene, calm, aloof, you stand as the nations 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. this does not mean that you are war mongers.篇三：英文演讲介绍名人 1st
