Several months ago, the Trump Administration instructed the Department of Education to prioritize STEM education, especially computer science, in our schools. The guidance we offered directed that these programs be designed with gender and racial diversity in mind.
At the direction of the President, I have worked closely with leadership across government Agencies to prioritize workforce development and proven on-the-job training programs like apprenticeships so that young women – and men – have more opportunities to earn while they learn, provide for their families, and master the skills that drive progress in the 21st century.
Finally, we must empower women who live in countries that prevent them from leading.
Across the world, there are still laws that stop women from fully participating in their nation’s economy.
In some countries, women are not allowed to own property, travel freely, or work outside of the home without the consent of their husbands.
Countries like the United States and Japan cannot be complacent. We must continue to champion reforms in our own countries while also empowering women in restricted economies.
a lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. as she was very fussy, it took her a long time to pick on one. already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "an excellent choice, madam. you look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" to his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "i don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as i take it off. show me some more hats!"
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
Thank you.
We shall not realize our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free peoples to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes.
This is no more than a frank recognition that totalitarian regimes imposed upon free peoples, by direct or indirect aggression, undermine the foundations of international peace, and hence the security of the United States.
The peoples of a number of countries of the world have recently had totalitarian regimes forced upon them against their will.
The Government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation in violation of the Yalta agreement in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria.
I must also state that in a number of other countries there have been similar developments.
At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life.
The choice is too often not a free one.
One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression.
The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority.
It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio, fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.
I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.
I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.
I believe that our help should be primarily through economic and financial aid which is essential to economic stability and orderly political processes.
The world is not static, and the status quo is not sacred.
But we cannot allow changes in the status quo in violation of the Charter of the United Nations by such methods as coercion, or by such subterfuges as political infiltration.
In helping free and independent nations to maintain their freedom, the United States will be giving effect to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
It is necessary only to glance at a map to realize that the survival and integrity of the Greek nation are of grave importance in a much wider situation.
If Greece should fall under the control of an armed minority, the effect upon its neighbor, Turkey, would be immediate and serious.
I Am Prepared to Die for an Idea.
My friends, comrades, and fellow South Africans: I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy, and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore have placed the remaining years of my life in your , I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release. I extend special greetings to the people of Cape Town the city through which — which has been my home for three decades.
I salute the rank?and?file members of the ANC: You have sacrificed life and limb in the pursuit of the noble cause of our , like Solomon Mahlangu and Ashley Kriel, who have paid the ultimate price for the freedom of all South Africans. I salute the South African Communist Party for its sterling contribution to the struggle for democracy. You have survived 40 years of unrelenting persecution.
The memory of great communists like Moses Kotane, Yusuf Dadoo, Bram Fischer, and Moses Mabhida will be cherished for generations to come. I salute General Secretary Joe Slovo, one of our finest patriots. We are heartened by the fact that the alliance between ourselves and the Party remains as strong as it — it always , the National Education Crisis Committee, the South African Youth Congress, the Transvaal and Natal Indian Congresses, and COSATU and the many other formations of the Mass Democratic Movement. I also salute the Black Sash and the National Union of South African Students.
We note with pride that you have looked — that you have acted as the conscience of white South Africa. Even during the darkest days in the history of our struggle you held the flag of liberty high. The large?scale mass mobilization of the past few years is one of the key factors which led to the opening of the final chapter of our — Your organized strength is the pride of our movement. You remain the most dependable force in the struggle to end exploitation and oppression.
I greet the traditional leaders of our country — many among you continue to walk in the footsteps of great heroes like Hintsa and , you, the young lions. You, the young lions, have energized our entire struggle. I pay tribute to the mothers and wives and sisters of our nation. Without your support our struggle would not have reached this advanced stage. The sacrifice of the frontline states will be remembered by South Africans , black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security.
The mass campaigns of defiance and other actions of our organizations and people can onlyculminate in the establishment of continent is in calculable. The fabric of family life of millions of my people has been shattered. Millions are homeless and unemployed. Our economy — Our economy lies in ruins and our people are embroiled in political strife. Our resort to the armed struggle in 19xx with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed , strategies, and , I feel duty?bound to make the point that a leader of the movement is a person who has been democratically elected at a national conference.
This is a principle which must be upheld without any , I wish to report to you that my talks with the government have been aimed at normalizing the political situation in the country. We have not as yet begun discussing the basic demands of the struggle. I wish to stress that I myself have at no time entered into negotiations about the future of our country except to insist on a meeting between the ANC and the has gone further than any other Nationalist President in taking real steps to normalize the situation. However, there are further steps, as outlined in the Harare Declaration, that have to be met before negotiations on the basic demands of our people can begin.
Negotiations cannot take place — Negotiations cannot take place above the heads or behind the backs of our people. It is our belief that the future of our country can only be determined by a body which is democratically elected on a non?racial basis. Negotiations on the dismantling of apartheid will have to address the overwhelming demands of our people for a democratic, non?racial and unitary South Africa. And this reality is that we are still suffering under the policies of the Nationalist , so that the process towards democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait.
Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts. To relax our efforts now would be a mistake which generations to come will not be able to role in a united democratic and non?racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony. In conclusion, I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 19xx. They are as true today as they were then. I spoke: I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and — and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens:
We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom xx symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning xx signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and threexquarters 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 forebears fought are still at issue around the globe xx 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 from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans xx 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 or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge xx 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 cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do xx for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word 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 xx and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
Good morning,ladies and gentlemen,today i am so happy to stand here to give you a rather, a real story of mine.
Though with time going by,i can still remember what you once told should be a brave ing,you looked into my in,year out,nearly most of my memories are fading little by only this simple sentence remained,without being forgotten in my life.
Again and again,i can not stop myself from thinking about ordinary,but so impressive,so moving,just like the brightest sunshine,it helps me go through the darkest night.I am such a sensitive girl in your said,my sorroful facial expression made feel so ver,there is one thing i never tell you,that is ,i am becoming a big girl gradually with your words and smiles.I never tell you about it,for i believe oneday,you can see the great changes of mine for is what i want to do in i know,that will be the best gift for you.
I suddenly think of a song named MY HEART WILL GO e is a beautiful sentence going like are safe in my than once,i was moved to tears by it.I know ,i am also safe in your heart.i have already forgotten when i told you i was going to leave for Australia this summer just smiled as usual,gently ever you decide to do,i will be in favor of it,but, just onething,remember,when you fell lonely abroad,do not forget we are here ,praying for are all around you,far across the distance and space between us.i closed my eyes,the flashback memories we had together,once we played games on the palyground,we played jokes on each other,you always wrote a lot of sentences on my articles to encourage the most unforgetable thing,you told me,you believed m i could be a big er or later.

I promise,i will be a brave girl.
I promise,i will keep walking in sunshine.
That is my speech,thank you!
Ladies and Gentlemen
I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening because I have some -- some very sad news for all of you -- Could you lower those signs please? -- I have some very sad news for all of you and I think sad news for all of our fellow citizens and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis Tennessee.
Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day in this difficult time for the United States it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black -- considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness and with hatred and a desire for revenge.
We can move in that direction as a country in greater polarization -- black people amongst blacks and white amongst whites filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort as Martin Luther King did to understand and to comprehend and replace that violence that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land with an effort to understand compassion and love.
For those of you who are black and are tempted to fill with -- be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act against all white people I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed but he was killed by a white man.
But we have to make an effort in the United States. We have to make an effort to understand to get beyond or go beyond these rather difficult times.
Doleva,Hall of Fame Executive Committee,ladies and gentlemen,good evening.
名人堂總裁約翰·多勒夫先生、女士們、先生們，晚上好。
When I heard that I was speaking first tonight,I thought that someone made a first speaker should be the great Allen Iverson.I need practice more than he does.
聽說今晚第一個發言，我以爲有人搞錯了。第一個發言的應該是偉大的阿倫·艾弗森。相比於他，我需要更多的練習。
First of all,I would like to thank you for giving me this great recognition has made tonight a most memorable moment for ough perhaps my career ended too soon,for me I treasure each and every moment.I am grateful for my time on the court,and for your recognition tonight.
首先，我要感謝給我如此殊榮，對我而言，你們的認可讓今晚成爲最難忘的時刻。儘管我的職業可能生涯結束的太早了，對我而言，我珍惜每一個時刻。我感謝我在球場上的時光，感謝今晚你們的認可。
I would like to thank my sponsors.
我要謝謝我的推介人。

比爾·沃爾頓，你一直都支持着我，謝謝你的建議和鼓勵。我做手術醒來後，你第一個打電話給我。你告訴我要積極，我一直銘記在心。
Dikembe Mutombo.I put you last because you are the oldest of the played together for five years and had so many memories on and off the ing can break the bond between us—not even all those elbows you gave me in practice.
迪肯貝·穆託姆博，我最後提你，因爲你看起來是三人中最老的。我們五年間一起打球，在球場內外有許多回憶。沒有什麼能破壞我們的友誼，就算在訓練中你給了我不少“黑肘”。
譯註：相比82歲的拉塞爾，穆託姆博當然不是最老的，這是個玩笑，謠傳說他非洲老家計算年齡的辦法是每年在一棵樹上砍一刀，後來他到美國打球，回到老家後發現樹上刻滿了字，就推說記不住自己的年齡了。
As you know I am from China,and my journey began there.
大家知道我來自中國，我的旅程從那裏開始。
My parents were basketball players back in the 1970s.I heard so many great stories about them,about how they played and how good they importantly,so many people know how good they are as people.I am very fortunate to be your son.

你們賜予我的禮物不只是個頭兒，你們教會我如何思考，如何做出決定。當然還有罰球線上的柔和手感，這也是爲什麼我比奧尼爾少罰了10000個球。

我的妻子葉莉也來到現場，我們在高中時認識的。你知道你對我有多重要，謝謝你成爲我生命中的伴侶。我們可愛的女兒艾米是我們共同的寶貝，很希望她今天也能來，但她開學第一週。她還要承擔選擇足球而非籃球的後果……我會把她扳回來的。
My basketball journey began on the back of coach Li Zhangmin’s bicycle when he gave me a ride to my very first practice on the basketball court.I would like to congratulate you on a very successful and very long career as you retire this k you for your work and your effrot,and so many kids have benefited from you and your work.

I want to thank the city of Shanghai,the Shanghai Sharks and the CBA league for doing everything to encourage me,prepare me,train helped me to be ready for the next challenges in my life.
我要感謝上海市，上海大鯊魚對和CBA聯賽，你們盡一切努力鼓勵我、幫助我、訓練我，讓我爲人生中下一次挑戰做好準備。
There is old saying in China that if the mirror is made of bronze,one can dress the mirror is history,one can predict ups and the mirror is people,one can reflect on one’s own weakness and now,I would like to mention a few mirrors in my life.
中國有句老話，以銅爲鏡，可以正衣冠;以史爲鏡，可以知興替;以人爲鏡，可以明得失。現在我要提幾面我人生中的鏡子。
First,I want to mention was a basketball 80 years ago, came here to Springfield to study went back to China and dedicated his life to Chinese y,the CBA Championship Cup is named after cup is the life goal that every CBA player can dream of.
首先，我要提牟作雲，他是籃球界的傳奇。80年前，牟先生來到斯普林菲爾德學習籃球，回中國後，他把畢生精力都奉獻給中國籃球。今天，CBA聯賽盃以他的名字命名，這座獎盃是每一位CBA球員夢想的人生目標。
I am not the first Chinese man to play in the honor belongs Wang Zhi was a pioneer for all future Chinese players who dream of coming to the cleared the road for us and made so many sacrifices.I learned so much from ough he cannot be here today,I want to thank him.
我不是第一個到NBA打球的中國人，這份榮譽歸於王治郅。他是夢想到NBA打球的所有未來中國球員的先行者。他爲我們掃清了道路，做出很多犧牲。我從他那裏獲益良多。儘管他今年不能來，我還是想謝謝他。
Many people know the story that began when the Rockets drafted me in many people know how much effort the Rockets put in before I arrived and throughout my k you to Les Alexander,Michael Goldberg,Carroll Dawson,Tad Brown,Daryl Morey and Keith Jones for making me feel at home in Houston.
很多人知道故事從20xx年火箭隊選中我時開始，可不是所有人知道火箭隊在我來之前和我整個生涯中付出的努力。感謝萊斯·亞歷山大、邁克爾·戈德伯格、卡羅爾·道森、泰德·布朗、達里爾·莫雷和基斯·瓊斯，讓我在休斯頓感受到家的溫暖。
When I arrived in Houston on my first day,Steve Francis gave me a strong high five and a big hug to welcome e has been the perfect big brother to me ever since that day.
我第一天來休斯頓時，史蒂夫·弗朗西斯給了我一個大力擊掌，並深情擁抱來歡迎我，此後他一直是我的老大哥。

卡迪諾·莫布里請我去他家吃“靈魂食物”，我聽成了“鹹口食物”，讓我有點摸不着頭腦。謝謝史蒂夫、卡迪諾以及早年間火箭隊的`隊友，讓我感到家的感覺。
Rudy famous for saying,“Never underestimate the heart of a champion.”Rudy has demonstrated this not only on the court,but off the court too,especially in his battle with ,you have always inspired me to be the better that I can be.
魯迪·湯姆賈諾維奇有句名言：“永遠不要低估冠軍的心。”魯迪力行這一格言，不僅在場上，也在場外，尤其在他與癌症抗爭的過程中。魯迪，你一直激勵着我做到更好。
When Jeff Van Gundy arrived with Patrick Ewing and Tom Thibodeau,that coaching staff turned us into a tough defensive team,like he always does.
傑夫·范甘迪和帕特里克-尤因、湯姆·錫伯杜加入火箭後，教練組把我們變成防守強悍的隊伍，他一向如此。

我們有麥迪、沙恩·巴蒂爾、拉夫·阿爾斯通，我們朝氣蓬勃，才華橫溢，尤其還有穆託姆博。那支隊伍不僅有競爭力，還團結友愛。

我一直都記着范甘迪教練曾說：“最好的機會是你最後的機會。”在籃球和生活中都是這樣。
My last NBA coach was Rick helped us develop so many talented players like Carl Landry,Luis Scola and Aaron had a great run in 20xx-20xx,but unfortunately my injury cut things short and ended my time with the Rockets too soon.I will always remember my time spent with the Houston Rockets as some of the best times in my life.
我最後一個NBA教練是裏克·阿德爾曼，他爲球隊挖掘了卡爾·蘭德里、路易斯·斯科拉和阿隆·布魯克斯等天才球員。我們08-09賽季高歌猛進，但因爲我的傷痛未能走得更遠，太早結束了在火箭隊的生涯。在休斯頓火箭隊的時光我將永遠銘記，那是我生命中最好的時光之一。
As a basketball player,I was one of the most blessed players on the planet.I played against some of the best athletes in the world.
作爲籃球運動員，我是這個行星上最幸運的選手之一，我和世界上最出色的運動員交手。

我認爲休斯頓是我第二故鄉，我想說說休斯頓人民。無論順境逆境，你們都在背後支持我。你們給了我前進的力量，我將一直把你們當做家人。這輩子，我都是德克薩斯人，我是休斯頓火箭人。
All of this would not be possible without the vision of David Stern and the k you to David Stern,Adam Silver,Kim Bohuny and everyone at the NBA for your kindness and support.
沒有大衛·斯特恩的高瞻遠矚和他建立的NBA，這一切都無從談起。謝謝斯特恩、亞當·席爾瓦、吉姆·伯哈尼和所有NBA人，謝謝你們的好意與支持。

謝謝給我這份榮譽，謝謝。
Vice President Johnson，Mr. Speaker，Mr. Chief Justice，President Eisenhower，Vice President Nixon，President Truman，reverend clergy，fellow citizens:
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 forebears prescribed 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 forebears fought are still at issue 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 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 or ill，that we shall pay any price，bear any burden，meet any hardship，support any friend，oppose any foe，to assure the survival and the 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 cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do -- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free，we pledge our word 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 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 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. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.
To that world assembly of sovereign states，the United Nations，our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace，we renew our pledge of support -- to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective，to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak，and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run. Finally，to those nations who would make themselves our adversary，we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace，before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.
We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course -- both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons，both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom，yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness，and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear，but let us never fear to negotiate.
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides，for the first time，formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms，and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars，conquer the deserts，eradicate disease，tap the ocean depths，and encourage the arts and commerce.
Let both sides unite to heed，in all corners of the earth，the command of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens，and [to] let the oppressed go free." And，if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion，let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power，but a new world of law -- where the strong are just，and the weak secure，and the peace preserved. All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration; nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.
In your hands，my fellow citizens，more than mine，will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded，each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms，though arms we need -- not as a call to battle，though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle，year in and year out，"rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation，" a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny，poverty，disease，and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance，North and South，East and West，that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world，only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy，the faith，the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so，my fellow Americans，ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world，ask not what America will do for you，but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally，whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world，ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward，with history the final judge of our deeds，let us go forth to lead the land we love，asking His blessing and His help，but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

約翰遜副總統，Speaker先生，首席大法官艾森豪威爾總統，總統，尼克松總統，杜魯門總統，牧師牧師，同胞們：
今天我們慶祝的不是政黨的勝利，而是自由的慶典——象徵着一個結束，也是一個開始——意味着更新，以及改變。因爲我已在你們和全能的上帝面前莊嚴宣誓，我們的祖先175年前。
現在世界是非常不同的。因爲人類掌握在他生命中的力量，它可以消除所有形式的人類貧困和所有形式的人類生活。可是我們的祖先爲之奮鬥的革命信念，在世界各地仍然有問題，這個信念就是：人的權利並非來自國家的慷慨，而是來自上帝之手。
今天，我們不敢忘記我們是第一次革命的繼承者。讓我們從這個時間和地點，朋友和敵人，這火炬已經傳給新一代美國人-出生在本世紀，經歷過戰爭的鍛鍊，在艱苦的和平，有我們古老的遺產感到自豪，他們不願目睹或允許緩慢打倒那些人權是這個國家一直致力於，也是我們致力於在國內和世界各地的今天。
讓每一個國家都知道，無論它希望我們好或壞，我們將付出任何代價，承擔任何負擔，應付任何困難，支持任何朋友，反對任何敵人，以確保自由的'生存和成功。這是我們的承諾-和更多。
對於那些我們共同分享的文化和精神起源的老盟友，我們保證忠實的朋友的忠誠。在一個合作企業中，我們幾乎不能做什麼。分有一點我們可以做的--因爲我們不敢應付強大的挑戰在爭吵不休、四分五裂時。對於那些我們歡迎的自由的行列的新國家，我們保證我們的話，一種形式的殖民統治不會消失，僅僅是由一個更爲殘酷的暴政所取代。我們並不總是指望他們支持我們的觀點。但我們始終希望找到他們強烈地支持他們自己的自由，並記住，在過去，那些愚蠢地尋求權力的人騎在老虎的後面結束了。
對於那些在半個地球上掙扎着打破大衆苦難的村莊的小屋和村莊的人們，我們保證我們盡最大努力幫助他們幫助他們自己，無論什麼時期是必需的-不是因爲共產黨人可以這樣做，不是因爲我們尋求他們的選票，而是因爲它是正確的。如果一個自由的社會不能幫助那些貧窮的人，它就不能拯救少數富有的人。
在我們的邊境南部的姐妹共和國，我們提供了一個特殊的承諾：把我們的好的話變成善行，在一個新的聯盟的進步，幫助自由的人和自由的政府擺脫貧困的枷鎖。但這種希望的和平革命不能成爲敵對勢力的獵物。讓我們所有的鄰居都知道，我們將與他們一起反對在美洲任何地方的侵略或顛覆。讓每一個其他的力量知道，這個半球打算保持自己的房子的主人。
對於世界上所有的主權國家，聯合國，我們最後的希望，在這樣一個時代，戰爭的手段已經遠遠超過了和平的工具，我們重申予以支持，防止它僅僅成爲謾罵的場所，加強它對新的和弱小國家的保護，並擴大在其主導作用的領域。最後，對於那些與我們爲敵，我們提供的不是保證，而是要求：雙方重新開始尋求和平，在科學釋放出的毀滅性力量有意無意地毀滅全人類。
我們不敢用弱點來誘惑他們。只有當我們的手臂足夠超越懷疑時，我們才能毫無疑問地確信他們永遠不會被僱用。但也不能兩個強有力的國家集團，從我們目前的課程舒適--雙方都揹負着現代武器的負擔，都理所當然使致命的原子武器的不斷擴散，但雙方都力圖改變那不穩定的恐怖平衡保持人類的最後一戰。
因此讓我們重新開始，雙方都應記住，謙恭不是軟弱，真誠有待驗證。讓我們不要出於恐懼而談判，但讓我們不要害怕談判。
讓雙方都來探討使我們團結起來的問題，而不是那些使我們分裂的問題。讓雙方第一次爲檢查和控制武器制定嚴肅和精確的建議，並在所有國家的絕對控制下，帶來毀滅其他國家的絕對力量。
讓雙方尋求召喚的奇蹟

On every one of hisprojects, you’ll see him talking to the super, the painter, the engineers, the electricians, he’ll ask them for their feedback, if they think something should be done differently, or could be done better. When Donald Trump is in charge, all that counts is ability, effort and has long been the philosophy at the Trump Organization. At my father’s company, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally for the work that we do and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut n represent 46 percent of the total U.S. labor force, and 40 percent of American households have female primary breadwinners. In 20xx, women made 83 cents for every dollar madeby a man. Single women without children earn 94 cents for each dollar earned by a man, whereas married mothers made only 77 cents. As researchers have noted, gender is no longer the factor creating the greatest wage discrepancy in this country, motherhood is.
Harry S.
Truman: The Truman Doctrine ident, ker, Members of the Congress of the United States: The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress.
The foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved.
One aspect of the present situation, which I present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns Greece and Turkey.
The United States has received from the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance.
Preliminary reports from the American Economic Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation.
I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government.
Greece is not a rich country.
Lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet.
Since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.
When forces of liberation entered Greece they found that the retreating Germans had destroyed virtually all the railways, roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine.
More than a thousand villages had been burned.
Eighty-five per cent of the children were tubercular.
Livestock, poultry, and draft animals had almost disappeared.
Inflation had wiped out practically all savings.
As a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority, exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.
Greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those goods which are essential to bare subsistence.
Under these circumstances, the people of Greece cannot make progress in solving their problems of reconstruction.
Greece is in desperate need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds.
These are indispensable for the subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad.
Greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore internal order and security, so essential for economic and political recovery.
The Greek Government has also asked for the assistance of experienced American administrators, economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other aid given to Greece shall be used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy and in improving its public administration.
how do you master your youth?youthyouth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshne; it is the freshneof the deep springs of life h means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. ts often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we grow old by deserting our s wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry, fear, self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to her 60 of 16, there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing cldlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wirelestation: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at k you!
Confusion and disorder might well spread throughout the entire Middle East.
Moreover, the disappearance of Greece as an independent state would have a profound effect upon those countries in Europe whose peoples are struggling against great difficulties to maintain their freedoms and their independence while they repair the damages of war.
It would be an unspeakable tragedy if these countries, which have struggled so long against overwhelming odds, should lose that victory for which they sacrificed so much.
Collapse of free institutions and loss of independence would be disastrous not only for them but for the world.
Discouragement and possibly failure would quickly be the lot of neighboring peoples striving to maintain their freedom and independence.
Should we fail to aid Greece and Turkey in this fateful hour, the effect will be far reaching to the West as well as to the East.
We must take immediate and resolute action.
I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of $400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948.
In requesting these funds, I have taken into consideration the maximum amount of relief assistance which would be furnished to Greece out of the $350,000,000 which I recently requested that the Congress authorize for the prevention of starvation and suffering in countries devastated by the war.
In addition to funds, I ask the Congress to authorize the detail of American civilian and military personnel to Greece and Turkey, at the request of those countries, to assist in the tasks of reconstruction, and for the purpose of supervising the use of such financial and material assistance as may be furnished.
I recommend that authority also be provided for the instruction and training of selected Greek and Turkish personnel.
Finally, I ask that the Congress provide authority which will permit the speediest and most effective use, in terms of needed commodities, supplies, and equipment, of such funds as may be authorized.
If further funds, or further authority, should be needed for purposes indicated in this message, I shall not hesitate to bring the situation before the Congress.
On this subject the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government must work together.
This is a serious course upon which we embark.
I would not recommend it except that the alternative is much more serious.
The United States contributed $341,000,000,000 toward winning World War II.
i once came across an american tourist. she said, “china has a history of five
thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago,
china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading.”my heart
was deeply touched by these words. it is true that were still a developing nation,
but it doesnt mean that we can despise (鄙視) ourselves. we have such a long-standing
history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people,
and we have enough to be proud of.
