推荐第1篇：布什的演讲

布什清华大学演讲稿((含译文) (注：由于布什总统在讲演中临时发挥，故英文原文同中文译稿稍有出入。) 胡副主席，非常感谢您的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和夫人劳拉。劳拉和我们的国务卿鲍威尔在一起。我也看到我的助理赖斯女士，她曾经是斯坦福大学的教务长，因此她回到像清华这样的校园是再合适不过了。非常感谢各位对我的热情接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，来到世界上最了不起的学府之一清华。这所大学恰好是在美国的帮助下成立的，成立的目标是为了推动我们两国间的关系。我也知道清华大学对于胡锦涛副主席有着十分重要的意义，他不仅在这里获得了学位，而且是在这里与他优雅的夫人相识。我同时感谢在座的各位学生给我这个跟大家见面的机会，谈一谈我自己的国家，并且回答大家的一些问题。清华大学的治学标准和声誉闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身是一个很大的成就。祝贺你们。我和我的太太有两个女儿，像你们一样正在上大学，一个女儿在德州大学，另外一个在耶鲁大学。她们是双胞胎。我们对两个女儿倍感骄傲，我想你们的父母对你们也是同样的引以为荣。我这次访华恰逢一个重要的周年纪念，刚才副主席也提到了这一点。三十年前的这个星期，一位美国总统来到中国，他的访华之旅结束了长达数十年的隔阂和长达数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向全世界显示，两个截然不同的国家可以在相互利益的基础上，本着相互尊重的精神站在一起。当他离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说，你与我的握手越过了世界上最辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。从那时以后的30多年里，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。随着两国间接触的日益频繁，两国的国民也逐渐加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常非常重要的。曾经一度，美国人只知道中国是一个历史悠久的伟大国家，有伟大的文明。今天，我们看到中国仍在奉行重视家庭、学业和荣誉的优良的传统，中国正在日益成为世界上最富活力和最富创造力的社会之一，在座的各位所具备的知识和潜力是最好的说明。中国正在强大起来，而美国欢迎一个强大的、和平与繁荣的中国的出现在美国人进一步了解中国的同时，我担心中国人不一定总是能够很清楚地看到我的国家的真实面貌，这里面有多种原因，其中一些是我们自己造成的。我们的电影，还有电视节目，往往并没有全面反映我所知道的美国。我们成功的企业显示了美国的商业力量。我们的精神、我们的社区精神，还有我们对彼此的帮助，往往并不像我们在金钱方面的成功那样显而易见。但是对美国的一些不正确的描述也来自外部世界。我的朋友、美国驻华大使告诉我，中国的一些教科书说，“美国人欺负弱者，压制穷人。”另外，去年出版的一本教科书教育学生说，联邦调查局是被用来“压迫工人的”。这些都不是正确的。这些话可能是以前遗留下来的，但是会误导人们对美国的认识。实际上，美国人觉得对穷人和弱者有一种特别的责任。美国政府拿出数千亿美元，为他们提供医疗保健、食品和住房。更为重要的是，我们的许多公民主动捐出自己的金钱，自己的时间来帮助有需求的人士。美国的同情心远远超越了自己的国界，在人道主义援助方面，我们居于世界首位，援助世界各地的人们。至于联邦调查局和执法人员，他们也是劳动人民的一员，他们献身于打击犯罪，打击腐败。我们的国家也和其他国家一样有问题，这是毫无疑问的。也和大多数国家一样有我们的缺点。我们正在一条漫长的道路上，按照自己的理念努力营造一个平等公正的国家。但是美国被认为是世界上最具希望和发展机会的国家，全世界的许多人都梦想到美国来。这是因为美国是一个自由的国家，人们享有实现梦想的同等机会。不论你的背景如何，不论你出生在什么地方，在美国你都可以受到很好的教育，开办企业，建立家庭，信仰自由，帮助选出社区和国家的领导人。你可以支持政府的政策，你也可以自由的反对这些政策。那些害怕自由的人有时争辩说，这样会引起混乱，但是这是不会的，因为自由意味着每个人不只为自己。自由使我们的人民有很多权力，但是同时人们也必须负起他们的重要责任。自由的方向和目的受到道德的引导，这体现在坚实的家庭、社区和教会，并受到牢固和公正司法体系

的监督。对于世界来说，美国最伟大的象征是自由女神。自由女神是经过精心设计的。不知道你们看到过没有。如果仔细看的话，你会发现，女神手持两样东西，而不是一个。她的一只手高举着自由明灯，另一只手拿的是法典。美国是一个法制国家，我们的法庭是公正和诚实的。我作为总统不可能告诉法庭应该做出什么裁决，而且行政当局的任何官员和立法人员也都不可以这样做。根据我们的宪法，每个人都是平等的，没有人可以置于法律之上，也没有人不受到法律的保护。美国所有的政治权力都不是无限的和永久的，权力只能通过公民自由选举产生。我们有一部宪法，已经有两百年的历史，它限制和平衡三个权力机构之间的权利，这三个权力机构是司法、立法和行政当局。我就是行政机构的一员。指导我们的很多价值观是在家庭中形成的，就像中国一样。美国的妈妈和爸爸们疼爱自己的孩子，为他们辛勤地劳动，作出牺牲，因为我们相信，下一代的生活一定会更好。在我们的家庭中，我们可以找到关爱，可以学习如何负起责任，如何陶冶人格。很多美国人都抽出时间为其他人服务，几乎一半的成年人每周都抽出时间，使得他们的社区办得更好，他们辅导儿童，探访病人，照顾老人，并且帮助做许许多多数不胜数的事情。这是我们国家的一大优势。人们主动承担起责任，主动帮助别人。他们这样做是出于善良的心和信仰。美国是在信仰指导下的国家，一些人曾经称美国是“一个具有教会精神的国家”。你们对这种说法可能感兴趣。95%的美国人信仰上帝，我就是其中之一。几个月前，当我在上海见到江泽民主席的时候，我很荣幸有机会向他讲述了信仰是如何改变我的生活，以及如何改变美国的。信仰指出，在人类的法律之外还有一个道德法律，在物质之外还有更高的责任。不应该害怕宗教自由，而是应该欢迎，因为信仰让我们有了道德核心，教育我们要按照更高的标准，爱戴和服务他人，并更加负责。如果你去美国旅行的话，如果你从来没有到过美国的话，希望你们有一天能够到美国来，你会见到来自不同种族背景和有着不同信仰的人。我们是一个多元化、多姿多彩的国家，在那里有230万的华人。在我们大公司的办公室里、在总统内阁里、在美国奥林匹克滑冰代表队中都有华人。每一个移民只要宣誓效忠美国，就可以和美国总统一样成为美国公民。美国显示，一个社会可以是多元，但仍然是一个国家，仍然可以要求公民效忠国家和爱自己的国民。美国的所有这些品德都在9月11号恐怖份子袭击美国的这一天生动地表现出来。数百名警察和消防队员冲进世贸大楼，希望能够抢救他人的生命。来自全国各地的自愿工作者来到纽约，帮助抢救工作。美国人捐血、捐钱，帮助受害者家属。美国各地的人们参加各种祈祷活动，手举国旗，对自己的国家感到骄傲，并显示团结。这些都不是政府组织的，是自由人民的自发行动。美国的生活显示，在法律伴随下的自由是没有什么可怕的。在一个自由社会里，分歧不是混乱，辩论不是冲突，不同意见不是革命。自由社会相信自己的人民会把自己，也把自己的国家变得更加伟大。我很荣幸能够在1975年访问中国。你们中的很多人当时还没有出生。从那时到现在中国发生了很大得变化。中国在开放、企业精神、经济自由等方面都取得了惊人的进步，这些进步初显了中国伟大的潜在力。中国加入了世贸组织，只要中国遵守世贸组织的规定，就会对中国的法律体系带来变化。一个现代化的中国将会通过法律指导商业活动，保障人民权利。新中国正在成长，建设新中国需要中国人悠久传统的智慧。我们的国家和许多其他成功的国家都面临物质的诱惑，重视个人和家庭责任的古老道德传统将使中国受益匪浅。在中国如今经济成功的背后，有着朝气蓬勃的人才。在不久的将来，这些人将在这个政府中发挥积极和全面的作用。清华大学不仅在培养技术专家，同时也在培育公民。这些公民不是国家事务的袖手旁观者，而是未来建设的参与者。中国正在发生变化，地方政府已经在举行不记名投票的地方选举。将近二十年前，中国伟大的领导人邓小平曾经说过，中国最终要把民主选举扩大到中央一级。我盼望看到这一天的到来。今天成千上万的中国人在重新学习佛教、道教和当地的宗教传统，或者在信仰基督教、伊斯兰教和其他宗教。不论人们在什么地方，以什么方式从事宗教活动，都不会对社会构成威胁。实际上，他们会成为优秀公民。几个世纪以来，中国一直是一个容忍宗教

的国家。我在这里祈祷，停止一切迫害，让所有中国人都能够按照自己的意愿，自由地从事宗教活动。所有的这些变化将导致中国更加强大，更有自信，一个将使世界瞩目，也使世界更加丰富的中国。这样的中国就是你们这一代人帮助创立的。中国现在正处在一个历史上非常令人振奋的时刻，此时此刻，就连最宏伟的梦想也似乎唾手可得。美国尊敬中国，并向中国伸出友谊之手。再过六年，美国和世界各国的运动员将到贵国参加奥林匹克运动会。我坚信，他们见到的中国将是正在变成一个大国，一个内部和平稳定，并与世界和平相处的中国。谢谢。我现在期待你们提出的问题。

推荐第2篇：布什就职演讲

2009 01 02 bush

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.Over the past week, I have been monitoring the situation in the Middle East closely with the members of my national security team.Secretary Rice is actively engaged in diplomacy.And I\'ve been in contact with leaders throughout the region -- including the King of Saudi Arabia, the King of Jordan, the President of Egypt, the President and Prime Minister of the Palestinian Territories, and the Prime Minister of Israel.

This recent outburst of violence was instigated by Hamas -- a Palestinian terrorist group supported by Iran and Syria that calls for Israel\'s destruction.Eighteen months ago, Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in a coup, and since then has imported thousands of guns and rockets and mortars.Egypt brokered a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, but Hamas routinely violated that ceasefire by launching rockets into Israel.On December 19th, Hamas

announced an end to the ceasefire and soon unleashed a barrage of rockets and mortars that deliberately targeted innocent Israelis -- an act of terror that is opposed by the legitimate leader of the Palestinian people, President Abbas.In response to these attacks on their people, the leaders of Israel have launched military operations on Hamas positions in Gaza.As a part of their strategy, Hamas terrorists often hide within the civilian population, which puts innocent Palestinians at risk.Regrettably, Palestinian civilians have been killed in recent days.

The United States is deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation facing the Palestinian people.Since Hamas\'s violent takeover in the summer of 2007, living conditions have worsened for Palestinians in Gaza.By spending its resources on rocket launchers instead of roads and schools, Hamas has

demonstrated that it has no intention of serving the Palestinian people.America has helped by providing tens of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid, and this week we contributed an additional $85 million through the United Nations.We have consistently called on all in the region to ensure that aistance reaches those in need.And as I told President Mubarak, America appreciates the role Egypt has played in facilitating the delivery of relief supplies in recent days.In addition to reducing humanitarian suffering, all nations must work toward a lasting end to the violence in the Holy Land, and a return to the path of peace.The United States is leading diplomatic efforts to achieve a meaningful ceasefire that is fully respected.Another one-way ceasefire that leads to rocket attacks on Israel is not acceptable.And promises from Hamas will not suffice -- there must be monitoring mechanisms in place to help ensure that smuggling of weapons to terrorist groups in Gaza comes to an end.I urge all parties to

preure Hamas to turn away from terror, and to support legitimate Palestinian leaders working for peace.

In the days ahead, the United States will stay closely engaged with our partners in the region, in Europe, and in the international community.My Administration will continue to keep the President-elect and his team informed.And America\'s objectives in the Middle East will remain clear: We seek security and peace for our allies, the free people of Israel.For the Palestinian people, we seek a

peaceful and democratic Palestinian state that serves its citizens and respects its neighbors.For all in the region, we seek an end to terror.And we seek an enduring peace based on justice, dignity, and human rights for every person in every nation of the Middle East.

Thank you for listening.

推荐第3篇：布什离任演讲

美国当地时间15日晚8时(北京时间16日上午9时)，美国总统布什在白宫发表最后告别演说。据白宫官员透露，演说总长13分钟，共5页，布什称自己的总统任期为“在危机中取得重大成就”的时期。

Fellow citizens: For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President.The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequenceto Vice President Cheney and members of the Administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime.And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me.I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits.And I thank you for the countle acts of courage, generosity, and grace that I have witneed these past eight years.今天，我满怀感激之情，感谢我的副总统切尼以及我所有的政府成员。我还要感谢我的妻子劳拉和我的女儿芭芭拉，詹娜，是她们给我的生活带来了无尽的快乐和爱意。我感谢我的父母，是他们给予了我前进的动力。最重要的是，我感谢美国人民给予我的信任，我感谢你们给予我的勇气、宽容。

This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addreed you from this houselaw enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.针对我的许多决策，有人对其合法性表示出怀疑。但是，当我们看到结果时这些人就不会再发出疑问了。在过去的七年多来，美国本土再也没有遭受过恐怖袭击。这要归功于那些日夜辛劳保护我们安全的人们：执法人员、情报分析员、国土安全人员、外交人员、以及美军的士兵们。

Our Nation is bleed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger.I have cherished meeting these selfle patriots and their families.America owes you a debt of gratitude.And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight: There has been no higher honor than serving as your Commander in Chief.受上帝的恩典，美国有这些愿意在国家危难之际挺身保护他人的公民。我非常珍惜美国可以拥有这些无私的爱国者及其家庭。美国感激你们。对于那些正在收听的演讲的美军士兵们来说，没有什么荣誉要比让你当上总司令还要崇高。

The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems.Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppreive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks unbelievers for murder.The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.美军正在从事的战争从属于两种系统之间的冲突，而这两种系统又有天壤之别。在其中的一种系统中，一小撮狂热分子要求所有人都服从于他们所制定的暴虐的意识形态，这些人让妇女屈从，而对那些不相信他们暴政的人进行谋杀。而另一种系统则相信自由是上帝给予全世界的礼物，自由与正义是通往和平的道路。

This is the belief that gave birth to our Nation.And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens.When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror.When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism.So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights, and human dignity.We are standing with diidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria.And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.美国，正是基于这样的信念诞生的。从长远来看，推广这种理念是保护我们公民的唯一选择。当人们生活在自由之中时，他们就不愿再去选择那些追求恐怖活动的领导者。当人们对未来怀有希望时，他们就不会将自己的生命交给暴力和极端主义。环视全球，美国正在推动人类自由、人权及人的尊严的发展。我们同持有不同政见者以及年轻的民主国家同在，我们为挽救生命而提供治疗艾滋病的药物，我们避免母亲和自己的孩子染上疟疾。自由是美国成立的唯一基石，并且领导世界向一个自由普照全球的时代发展。

For eight years, we have also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home.Acro our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools.A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled.Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes.The addicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs.Vulnerable human life is better protected.Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled.America\'s air, water, and lands are measurably cleaner.And the Federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.

过去的八年，我们努力扩大美国人民所拥有的机会与希望。在美国，学生不断上进，以求符合公立学校更高的标准。对于老人和残疾人来说，一种新的医疗处方药福利令他们颇感舒心。每个纳税人缴纳了更少的税款。通过以信仰为基础的治疗项目，那些瘾君子和痛苦的人们找到了新希望。过去八年来的工作更好地保护了人脆弱的生命。对于退伍老兵的补助几乎增加了一倍。美国的一山一水都真切地变得更为干净。睿智的山姆-阿力拓、首席法官约翰-罗伯茨加入到联邦法院中。

When challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them.Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy.These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted.All Americans are in this together.And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth.We will show the world once again the resilience of America\'s free enterprise system.当美国的繁荣遇到挑战时，我们勇敢地去面对。当金融危机发生时，我们采取果断措施来保护我们的经济。对于那些辛勤工作的家庭来说，这些都是十分艰难的时期。但是如果我们不采取行动的话，结果将会更为糟糕。所有的美国人都站在了一起。凭借着我们的决心和辛勤工作，我们将美国经济重新拉回到增长的车道上。我们将向世界再次展现美国自由企业制度的复兴。

Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks.There are things I would do differently if given the chance.Yet I have always acted with the best interests of our country in mind.I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right.You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made.But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.正如所有前任总统一样，我也曾经历过挫折。如果可能的话，我会采取不一样的方式来应对这些措施。但是，我总是为国家利益的最大化来行动。你也许会不同意我所做出的一些决定，但我希望你能理解我是愿意采取这些措施的。

The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.未来的几十年，美国将面对更多的艰难抉择，而有一些指导性原则可以塑造我们的道路。 While our Nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack.Our enemies are patient and determined to strike again.America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict.But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them.We must resist complacency.We must keep our resolve.And we must never let down our guard.尽管我们的国家要比7年前更为安全，但目前美国最严峻的威胁仍然是另一场恐怖袭击。我们的敌人十分耐心，并且决心要再次发动袭击。美国没有故意挑起冲突。但是我们肩负着庄严的责任，必须同恐怖主义作斗争。我们不能骄傲自满，我们要坚定决心，我们绝不能放松警惕。

At the same time, we must continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose.In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward.But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism.Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger.In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad.If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.与此同时，我们必须带着信心和清晰的目标参与世界事务。面对来自海外的威胁，在国内寻求安慰是一种诱人的举措。但是我们必须拒绝孤立主义与保护主义。退缩只会找来危险。在21世纪，国内的安全和繁荣需要依靠国外自由的扩展。如果美国不领导自由事业，那么自由事业就将无所适从。

As we addre these challengesAmerica must maintain our moral clarity.I have often spoken to you about good and evil.This has made some uncomfortable.But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two there can be no compromise.Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere.Freeing people from oppreion and despair is eternally right.This Nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth.We must always be willing to act in their defense and to advance the cause of peace.一方面我们在处理这些眼前和未来的挑战，另一方面美国必须保持自己在道义上的明确性。我经常谈及善恶问题，这令一些人颇感不适。但是目前这个世界确实存在着善恶双方，而且双方之间无法达成妥协。通过谋杀无辜来宣扬某种意识形态无论在何时何地都是错误的。将人们从压迫与绝望中解救出来是永远正确的。美国必须坚持为正义与真理而呼喊，我们必须保护正义与真理，并且推动和平事业的发展。

President Thomas Jefferson once wrote, \"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.\" As I leave the house he occupied two centuries ago, I share that optimism.America is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing itself.And even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ahead.托马斯-杰斐逊曾写到：“相比于过去的历史，我更喜欢未来的梦想。”随着我马上要离开白宫，我赞同杰斐逊这样的乐观精神。美国是一个年轻的国家，充满了活力，不断发展与更新。即便在最艰难的时候，美国仍然没有放弃对未来的梦想。 I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.This is a Nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom.This is a Nation where citizens show calm in times of danger and compaion in the face of suffering.We see examples of America\'s character all around us.And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.我了解我们民族的特质，因此我也相信美国的明天会更美好。这是一个鼓励移民们为自由的梦想而去尝试一切事情的国家，这是一个在面对危险使仍然镇定的国家，这是一个面对苦难仍抱有同情心的国家。我们在身边的每一个人身上都可以看到美国的特征。今晚，受我和夫人劳拉的邀请，一切代表也来到了白宫。 We see America\'s character in Dr.Tony Recasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina.We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society.We see it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.我们看到里卡斯钠博士的美国特质，这位校长在卡特里娜飓风的废墟中开办一所新的特许学校。我们看到麦地那身上的美国特质，这位前囚犯带领一个以信仰为基础的项目，帮助囚犯重回社会。我们在上士麦达德身上的美国特质，他负责伊拉克的一次埋伏并拯救了三名同伴的海军陆战队队员。

We see America\'s character in Bill Krioff, a surgeon from California.His son Nathan, a Marine, gave his life in Iraq.When I met Dr.Krioff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son.This good man was 60 years old – 18 years above the age limit.But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine.Lieutenant Commander Krioff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America\'s wounded warriors and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.我在外科医生克里索夫身上看到了美国人民的伟大个性。克里索夫的儿子，一名海军，在伊拉克光荣地献出了自己的生命。当我见到克里索夫和他家人的时候，他告诉了我一个惊人的消息：他告诉我，为了缅怀儿子，他希望加入美国海军医疗团。克里索夫已经60岁了，超过了年龄限制，但是他的申请得到了批准。在过去的一年中，克里索夫接受了良好的训练，但已经荣升少校的他今晚不能来到这里，他很快就会前往伊拉克，在那里他可以救助我们受伤的勇士并继续他儿子为完成的事业。

In citizens like these, we see the best of our country – resilient and hopeful, caring and strong.These virtues give me an unshakable faith in America.We have faced danger and trial, and there is more ahead.But with the courage of our people and confidence in our ideals, this great Nation will never tire „ never falter „ and never fail.同时，从美国公民身上，我看到了我们国家优秀的一面-我们的国家充满关怀和希望，这样的优点令我对国家有着坚贞的信念。我们面临着危险和审判，而且在未来我们仍将需要应对更多的挑战。然而，依靠你们的勇气和信心，伟大的美国永远会稳如磐石，从来不会走向没落。

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President.There have been good days and tough days.But every day I have been inspired by the greatne of our country and uplifted by the goodne of our people.I have been bleed to represent this Nation we love.And I will always be honored to carry a title that means more to me than any other: citizen of the United States of America.对我来说，能够担任你们的总统，是我一生的荣耀。我有过欢乐也有过困苦。但是，每天我都会受到伟大祖国的鼓舞，并且我也一直在为我们的国家祈祷。在以后的时光里，我会永远珍视这样一段话：美利坚合众国的公民。 And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night.May God ble this house and our next President.And may God ble you and our wonderful country.我亲爱的同胞们，我的演说就到这里了，晚安！愿上帝保佑奥巴马！愿上帝保佑你和我们美好的国家！

推荐第4篇：布什清华演讲

Vice President Hu,thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks.Thank you for welcoming me and my wife , laura, here.

I see she is keeping pretty good company with the Secretary of State, Collin Powell.

It is good to see you, Mr.Secretary.

And I see my National Security Adviser, Ms.Codoleezza Rice, who once was the provost of Stanford University, so she is comfortable on the university campuses such as this.

Thank you for being here ,Codin.

I am so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of China’s and the world’s great universities.

The standards and the reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here.So congratulations.My visit to China comes an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.Thirty years ago this week an American president arrived in China on an trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicious.President Richard Nixon showed that two vastly different

government could meet on the grounds of common interests in the spirit of mutual respect.

As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou En-Lai said this to President Nixon: “you handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world-25years of no communication.

During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many

handshakes of friendship and commerce.And as we have had more contact with each other ,the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other.

It was my honor to visit China in 1975.Some of you were not even born then.It shows how old I am.

And a lot has changed in your country since then.China has made amazing progre in openne and enterprise and economic freedom.And this progre previews China’s great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to Chinese leagal system.A morden China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.

The new China you generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions.The lure of materialism challenges society in our country- and in many succeful countries.

All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China, a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that you generation will help create.

This is one of the mose exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem in your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship.

Six years from now, athletes from America and all around the world will come to you country for the Olympic Games, and I am confident they will find a China that is becoming a Daguo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.

非常感谢**主席热情洋溢的欢迎致词，非常感谢您再这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。我发现她和国务卿科林。鲍威尔先生相处的非常好。

很高兴看到你国务卿先生。

我也看到了我的国家安全顾问康多莉萨.赖斯女士，她曾经是斯坦福大学的校长，因此她回到校园是再合适不过了。

谢谢你能来，康迪。

非常感谢各位对我的热情接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一。清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身就是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。

我这次访华恰逢一个重要的纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，30年前的这一周，一位美国总统来到了中国，他访华之旅的目的是为了结速两国之间长达数十年的隔阂。，和数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向世界表明了两个有重大差异的国家，本着互惠互利，互相尊重的精神是能够站在一起的。

那天他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说：“你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋，这个还有就是互不交往的25年。”

30年以来，美国和中国握过多次友谊之手和商业之手。随着我们两国间接触的日益频繁，我们两国的国民也加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常重要的。

我在1975年有幸访问过中国，那时候在座的有些人可能还没有出生，这也表明我是多么老了。

从那时以来，贵国发生了很多变化。中国在开发，企业，经济自由方面都取得了惊人的成绩。这一成绩显示了中国的巨大潜能。中国已经加入了世贸组织，在各位旅行其义务的同时这些义务势必给中国的法律制度带来变化。一个现代化的中国将有着统一的法制来规范他们的商业生活和保障人民的利益。

你们这一代人正在建设的中国也需要深远传统的智慧结晶。物质利益的诱惑对我们的社会造成了挑战－在我们的国家给我们的社会造成了调整，在很多发达国家也是。

所以的这些变化将导致中国更强大，更自信，这个中国将使世界瞩目，也将使世界更加丰富。

这个这个就是诸位这一代帮助创立的中国。现在使中国历史上非常令人振奋的一个时期，此时此刻连最宏伟的梦想似乎也唾手可得。我的国度，对中国表示尊敬和友谊。

再过六年，来自美国和世界各地的运动员将到贵国参加奥运会，我坚信，他们能够见到的中国是一个正在变成大国的中国，一个走在世界前沿的国家，一个民心安定，与世界和平共处的国家。

美国，正是基于这样的信念诞生的。从长远来看，推广这种理念是保护我们公民的唯一选择。当人们生活在自由之中时，他们就不愿再去选择那些追求恐怖活动的领导者。当人们对未来怀有希望时，他们就不会将自己的生命交给暴力和极端主义。环视全球，美国正在推动人类自由、人权及人的尊严的发展。我们同持有不同政见者以及年轻的民主国家同在，我们为挽救生命而提供治疗艾滋病的药物，我们避免母亲和自己的孩子染上疟疾。自由是美国成立的唯一基石，并且领导世界向一个自由普照全球的时代发展。

当美国的繁荣遇到挑战时，我们勇敢地去面对。当金融危机发生时，我们采取果断措施来保护我们的经济。对于那些辛勤工作的家庭来说，这些都是十分艰难的时期。但是如果我们不采取行动的话，结果将会更为糟糕。所有的美国人都站在了一起。凭借着我们的决心和辛勤工作，我们将美国经济重新拉回到增长的车道上。我们将向世界再次展现美国自由企业制度的复兴。

正如所有前任总统一样，我也曾经历过挫折。如果可能的话，我会采取不一样的方式来应对这些措施。但是，我总是为国家利益的最大化来行动。你也许会不同意我所做出的一些决定，但我希望你能理解我是愿意采取这些措施的。

The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.

未来的几十年，美国将面对更多的艰难抉择，而有一些指导性原则可以塑造我们的道路。

While our Nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack.Our enemies are patient and determined to strike again.America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict.But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them.We must resist complacency.We must keep our resolve.And we must never let down our guard.

尽管我们的国家要比7年前更为安全，但目前美国最严峻的威胁仍然是另一场恐怖袭击。我们的敌人十分耐心，并且决心要再次发动袭击。美国没有故意挑起冲突。但是我们肩负着庄严的责任，必须同恐怖主义作斗争。我们不能骄傲自满，我们要坚定决心，我们绝不能放松警惕。

与此同时，我们必须带着信心和清晰的目标参与世界事务。面对来自海外的威胁，在国内寻求安慰是一种诱人的举措。但是我们必须拒绝孤立主义与保护主义。退缩只会找来危险。在21世纪，国内的安全和繁荣需要依靠国外自由的扩展。如果美国不领导自由事业，那么自由事业就将无所适从。

一方面我们在处理这些眼前和未来的挑战，另一方面美国必须保持自己在道义上的明确性。我经常谈及善恶问题，这令一些人颇感不适。但是目前这个世界确实存在着善恶双方，而且双方之间无法达成妥协。通过谋杀无辜来宣扬某种意识形态无论在何时何地都是错误的。将人们从压迫与绝望中解救出来是永远正确的。美国必须坚持为正义与真理而呼喊，我们必须保护正义与真理，并且推动和平事业的发展。

托马斯-杰斐逊曾写到：“相比于过去的历史，我更喜欢未来的梦想。”随着我马上要离开白宫，我赞同杰斐逊这样的乐观精神。美国是一个年轻的国家，充满了活力，不断发展与更新。即便在最艰难的时候，美国仍然没有放弃对未来的梦想。

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.This is a Nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom.This is a Nation where citizens show calm in times of danger and compaion in the face of suffering.We see examples of America\'s character all around us.And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.

我了解我们民族的特质，因此我也相信美国的明天会更美好。这是一个鼓励移民们为自由的梦想而去尝试一切事情的国家，这是一个在面对危险使仍然镇定的国家，这是一个面对苦难仍抱有同情心的国家。我们在身边的每一个人身上都可以看到美国的特征。今晚，受我和夫人劳拉的邀请，一切代表也来到了白宫。

We see America\'s character in Dr.Tony Recasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina.We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society.We see it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.

我们看到里卡斯钠博士的美国特质，这位校长在卡特里娜飓风的废墟中开办一所新的特许学校。我们看到麦地那身上的美国特质，这位前囚犯带领一个以信仰为基础的项目，帮助囚犯重回社会。我们在上士麦达德身上的美国特质，他负责伊拉克的一次埋伏并拯救了三名同伴的海军陆战队队员。

我在外科医生克里索夫身上看到了美国人民的伟大个性。克里索夫的儿子，一名海军，在伊拉克光荣地献出了自己的生命。当我见到克里索夫和他家人的时候，他告诉了我一个惊人的消息：他告诉我，为了缅怀儿子，他希望加入美国海军医疗团。克里索夫已经60岁了，超过了年龄限制，但是他的申请得到了批准。在过去的一年中，克里索夫接受了良好的训练，但已经荣升少校的他今晚不能来到这里，他很快就会前往伊拉克，在那里他可以救助我们受伤的勇士并继续他儿子为完成的事业。

同时，从美国公民身上，我看到了我们国家优秀的一面-我们的国家充满关怀和希望，这样的优点令我对国家有着坚贞的信念。我们面临着危险和审判，而且在未来我们仍将需要应对更多的挑战。然而，依靠你们的勇气和信心，伟大的美国永远会稳如磐石，从来不会走向没落。

对我来说，能够担任你们的总统，是我一生的荣耀。我有过欢乐也有过困苦。但是，每天我都会受到伟大祖国的鼓舞，并且我也一直在为我们的国家祈祷。在以后的时光里，我会永远珍视这样一段话：美利坚合众国的公民。

And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night.May God ble this house and our next President.And may God ble you and our wonderful country.

我亲爱的同胞们，我的演说就到这里了，晚安！愿上帝保佑奥巴马！愿上帝保佑你和我们美好的国家！

演说全文摘要:

关于权力移交

五天以后，世界将再次见证美国民主制度的活力。从立国之日起，我们就秉承着一个传统——前任总统的接班人，必须由你们——美国人民选举产生。对于站在国会前的宣誓者来说，他的故事兑现了这块土地的不朽承诺。对于我们整个国家而言，那个时刻充满希望和骄傲。在此，我和所有美国人民一起，向候任总统奥巴马先生，她的妻子米歇尔女士，以及他们的一双美丽女儿致以最美好的祝愿。

关于感激

今晚，我的心中充满感恩之情。我感激人民曾经给予的信任，感激那些曾经让我振奋心智的祝福。我还感谢在过去八年中，我曾经无数次目睹的你们那些勇敢、慷慨与高尚的行为。

关于反恐战争

今晚，我的思绪再次回到了2001年9月11日后我首次在此向你们讲话时的情景。那天早上，恐怖分子夺去了将近3000个生命，我们遭受到了自珍珠港事件以来最惨重的袭击。

时过境迁，如今，多数美国人已经大致恢复了911之前的生活。但是我没有。每天早上，我都会收到一份关于国家安全的简报，并且我一直在尽一切努力保障我们的安全。

在过去的7年里，我们建立了一个崭新的国土安全部。美国的军队，情报机关和联邦调查局也已经改头换面。我们的国家有了新的工具监视恐怖分子的活动，冻结他们的资金，挫败他们的阴谋。而且，在我们盟友的有力支援下，我们主动出击与恐怖分子和他们的支持者战斗。

关于这些政府这些行为的合法性，人们有很多的讨论；但是这些行为的成就是毋庸置疑的。在过去的7年多里，美国再也没有遭到像911一样的恐怖袭击。这个成就，是对那些为保卫我们安全为鞠躬尽瘁的人们——执法官员，情报人员，国土安全和外交人员以及美国三军将士的最高褒奖。

当人们生活在自由之中时，他们不会心甘情愿地让鼓吹恐怖者骑在头上；当人们对未来生活有幸福憧憬时，不会把他们的生命出卖给暴力和极端。因此，美国在全世界致力于提升人的自由、人的权利以及人的尊严。我们支持世界各地的持不同政见者和年轻的民主活动者，我们向世界各地提供艾滋病药物将病人从死神手中夺回，我们还在挽救那些罹患疟疾的妇女和儿童。当我们这个伟大的共和国诞生时，她与自由独行；现在，她站在一个新时代的入口，指引着所有国家走向自由。

关于国内成就

八年来，我们也一直在为扩大国内的机会和希望殚精竭虑。在美国的各个角落，越来越多的学生开始在公立学校接受更高水平的教育；新的医疗保险制度让老年人和身体有缺陷者后顾无忧；每一个纳税者的个人所得税负担都得到减轻；吸毒者从各种基于信念的戒毒项目中获得新生。人的生命脆弱，但是在美国得到了更好的保护。我们的退伍军人基金已经翻番，美国的空气、水和土地更为清洁。最高联邦法院也注入了更新鲜的智慧，如大法官山姆-艾利托和大法官约翰-罗伯特。

关于错误决策

和那些曾在椭圆办公室工作过的前任总统一样，制定决策时我也经历过一些挫折。如果再给我一次机会，我会做出不同的决定。但是我一直都是在保护国家利益这一信念下行动。我跟随着良知，做我认为是正确的事情。你们可能不同意我所做的一些严苛决定，但是我希望你们知道，我是自愿做出那些决定的。

关于美国面临的挑战

今后几十年，我们国家将面临更艰难的抉择。有一些原则可以指导我们制定方针。

尽管我们现在比7年之前更加安全，但是美国人民面临的最大威胁仍是另外一场恐怖袭击。我们的敌人颇具耐心，他们已决定将再次发动袭击。美国没有做任何事情去自寻麻烦，也没有做任何事情应得到这种报应。但是我们被赋予了庄严的职责，我们必须面对。我们必须抵制自满情绪；我们必须坚守决心；我们永远不能放松警惕。

与此同时，我们要继续充满信心和明确方向地参与世界事务。当面临外来威胁时，一个国家可能会倾向于孤立封闭以自寻安慰。但是我们必须抵制孤立主义和它的伴生物，贸易保护主义。在国境线内畏缩不前只会招致危险。在21世界，国内的安全与繁荣有赖于自由在世界的扩张。如果美国人不领导世界的自由事业，那么自由事业将无人领导。

当我们谈及这些看的见挑战，以及那些看不见的挑战时，美国必须保持道德上的清白。我经常讲到善恶之分。这可能使某些人感到不愉快。但是善与恶是在世界上真实存在的，而且，两者之间没有妥协。

关于美国的前途

即使在最黑暗的时刻，我们也抬起眼睛遥望着广阔的地平线。我对美国的前途充满信心。因为我知道我们人民的品性。这个国度，激励着远道而来的移民为了自由梦而甘冒一切风险。这个国度的人民，能够在危险面临保持冷静，能够在苦难之中充满激情。这些优点，让我对美国有不可动摇的信念。我们面临着危险和考验，而且未来路途一样多舛。但是有我们人们的勇敢，有我们对信仰的信心，这个伟大的国家永远不会疲惫，永远不会退缩，永远不会失败。

各位同胞：在过去的八年间作为你们的总统，是我的荣幸。新世纪的第一个十年，是重要的十年——一个与众不同的十年。

今晚，怀着感恩之心，请允许我在这最后的机会分享一些想法，一些有关总统历程和国家未来的想法。

五天之后，世界将目击美国民主的一个重要时刻。按照建国伊始的传统，总统之职将传递给你们——美国人民选择的继任者。这位即将站在国会台阶上的人，他的故事正彰显了我们这块土地所延续的承诺。

对我们整个国家来说，这是一个充满希望与自豪的时刻。我与全体美国人民一道，对候任总统奥巴马、他的妻子米歇尔和他们那一双美丽的女儿，致以最美好的祝愿。

今晚，让我表达对副总统切尼和内阁成员的感激之情；我还要感谢劳拉（译者注：布什的夫人），是你为我们的家庭带来欢乐，为我的生活带来爱；还要感谢我们的女儿，芭芭拉和詹纳；以及我的父母――是他们的榜样为我提供了一生的力量。

而最重要的，我要感谢你们――美国人民，感谢你们给予我的信任。感谢你们的祈祷，它振奋着我的灵魂。感谢在过去八年间我所见证过的，无以计数的勇气、慷慨、和仁爱。今晚，我的思绪回到2001年9月11日，我第一次在这里向全国发表讲话。

那个早上，恐怖分子在那次自珍珠港事件以来，美国所遭受过的最严重的袭击中夺去了近3000名美国人民的生命。我记得三天后，我站在世贸中心的废墟之中，身边是加班加点连续作战的救援人员。

我记得与那些穿越五角大楼浓烟的勇士们的对话，以及与93航班上殉难英雄们的妻子或丈夫们的交谈。

我记得艾琳•霍华德。她把她逝去的儿子的警徽送给我。那个警徽提示我们所有失去的记忆――我至今仍然随身携带他的徽章。

随着时间的逝去，大多数美国人能够恢复到9.11之前的正常生活中去。但我不能。每天早上，我都会收到一份对我国威胁状况的简报。我发誓尽我的一切力量保卫美国的安全。

在过去的八年间，一个新的部门——国土安全部成立了。军队、情报部门、FBI都发生了改观。

我们的国家掌握了新的手段来监视恐怖分子的活动、冻结他们的财务、打破他们的图谋。而有坚强的盟友与我们一道，我们对恐怖分子和他们的支持者宣战。

阿富汗，从一个塔利班袒护基地组织、妇女当街遭乱石致死的国家，转变为一个对抗恐怖主义、支持女孩子们走进校门的年轻民主国家。

伊拉克从一个残酷的独裁国家、美国的宿敌，转变为位于中东心脏的阿拉伯民主国家，和美国的朋友。对于这些决策进行辩论是完全合理的，但其结果是不可辩驳的。

在过去的七年间没有发生一起在美国土地上的恐怖袭击活动。这是那些夜以继日保障我们安全者的功劳——执法官员、情报分析员、国土安全与外交人士，和美国武装部队中服役的男女士兵。

这些在危难时志愿保卫我们国家的公民是美国之福。我记忆中珍藏着与这些无私的爱国者，以及他们的家人的见面的情景。美国感谢你们。

对于今晚正在收听讲话的部队中的男女士兵，我要说：没有比作为你们的最高统帅更荣耀的事了。我们的战士所进行的战争，在广义上，是这样两个截然不同的体系间的斗争。在一个体系中，是一小撮狂热分子，追求对一种压迫性的意识形态的绝对服从；女性只能屈从附属；异教徒遭到谋杀。

而另一个系统是基于这样的信念：自由是全能的上帝赐予我们的普世礼物；自由与公证将点亮通往和平之路。我们的国家正是诞生于这样的信仰之中。而从长远来看，只有发扬这样的信仰，才能实实在在保护我们公民的安全。

当人们生活在自由中，他们不会去选择那些发动恐怖战争的领袖。当人们对未来充满希望时，他们不会令生活向暴力与极端主义俯首。因此在世界范围内，美国推崇人类自由、人权与尊严。

我们与持不同政见者和年轻的民主力量并肩作战；我们提供艾滋病药品挽救垂危的病人；我们挽救患疟疾的母亲与婴儿。我们这个与自由共同降生的伟大共和国，正引领世界走向一个自由属于所有国家的新时代。

在过去的八年间，我们还努力在美国本土扩展机会和希望。在美国各地，公立学校的学生们获得提升，达到更高的标准。

一个新的医疗福利计划让老年人和残障人士无后顾之忧。每位纳税人的所得税更低。瘾君子与其他处在痛苦中的人士从基于信仰的组织中找到新希望。人类脆弱的生命获得了更好的保护。安置退伍老兵的资金几乎倍增。美国的空气、水与土地更清洁。睿智的新法官，如山姆•阿利托法官和约翰•罗伯茨首席法官加入联邦法院。

当影响美国繁荣的挑战出现时，我们直面之。当面对金融崩溃的前景时，我们采取果断措施，保卫我们的经济。

对于那些努力工作的家庭来说，这一时刻相当艰难。但如果我们不采取任何行动的话，情况会糟糕得多。对此，全美国凝聚在一起。信念、苦干和团结，将让我们把经济重新带回增长的轨道。

我们会再次向世界展示美国自由企业系统的韧性。如同所有我的前任一样，我也经历过挫折。如果还能有机会，有些事我会做出不同的选择。然而，我始终是以我们国家的利益为考虑标准。我跟随良知的指引，做我认为正确的选择。

你可能不同意我曾经做出的一些强硬的决定。但是我希望你能相信，那是出自我的真实意愿。未来的十年里，我们将面临更多的艰难抉择，我们应该有一些原则来决定我们的方针政策。

虽然我们的国家比七年前更加安全，但恐怖袭击依然是我们面临的最大威胁。我们的敌人极富耐心地等待下一次袭击。美国人本不应该承受这种灾难。但是我们有责任，也必须去面对这些威胁。我们要避免自满，我们要坚定决心，我们决不能放松警惕。

同时，我们还应该继续怀着自信和清晰的目标来参与世界各地的事务。面对来自外面的威胁，人们很容易畏缩不前。但是我们必须杜绝孤立主义和保护主义，闭门造车无异于玩火自焚。在21世纪里，一个国家的稳定和繁荣，取决于整个世界的自由进程。如果美国不能引导自由，那就没有人可以做到。

当我们谈论这些问题的时候——还有那些我们今晚无法预测的问题——美国人必须保持明确的道德性。我曾经无数次地跟你们讨论过善与恶。这个话题可能过于沉重，但世界上的确是善恶并存，并且没有妥协。

依靠残害无辜来推进意识形态在任何时候、任何地方都是错误的。将人们从压迫和绝望中解救出来才是正确的。这个国家必须继续宣扬真理和正义。我们要继续坚持推进和平。

托马斯·杰斐逊总统曾经写道：“我不缅怀过去的历史，而致力于未来的梦想。”当我要离开两个世纪前他住过的这座建筑的时候，我希望能够与你们分享这种乐观。美国是个年轻的国家，充满活力，不断成长，不断创新。即使在最艰难的时刻，我们仍昂首望着远方。

我对美国的承诺充满信心，因为我知道美国人的精神。

这是一个能够激励移民冒所有的风险来追求自由的国家。这是一个人民在危机中仍保持镇静，在痛苦中仍怀有同情的国家。我们周围都是这样的人。

今晚，劳拉和我邀请了一些人来白宫加入我们。我们在托尼·雷卡斯纳尔博士身上看到了美国精神，他在卡特里娜飓风的废墟中建立起一座崭新的学校。我们在胡里奥·梅迪纳身上看到了美国精神，他出狱后怀着信仰，领导了一个帮助犯人重返社会的帮助计划。

我们在奥布里·麦克戴德身上看到了美国精神，他在伊拉克勇闯敌阵救出了三个战友。我们在比尔·克里索夫身上看到了美国精神，这位来自加利福尼亚的外科医生，他的儿子牺牲在了伊拉克的战场。

当我见到克里索夫医生和他的家人时，他告诉我一个令人惊异的消息：为了纪念他的儿子，他希望加入海军医疗队。这位老人已经60岁了——比参军年龄上限大了整整18岁。但是他的请求被允许了，过去几年里他一直在战地医院接受培训。克里索夫海军少校今天无法来到现场，因为他马上就要开赴伊拉克，在那里，他将帮助受伤的勇士们，并以此来纪念他的儿子。在这些美国人的身上，我们看到了我们国家的精髓——百折不挠而又充满希望，心存善良而又生性坚强。

这些美德使得我对美国的信心不可动摇。我们经历了危机与考验，而前方还会有诸多凶险。但是有了我们的勇气和信念，这个伟大的国家将不知疲倦……毫不犹豫……永不言败。我很荣幸有生之年能够成为总统，我体会过快乐，也经历过艰难。

但是每天我都为这个伟大的国家和善良的人民所振奋。我非常幸运地能够代表这个我们深爱的国家。我将永远为这个对我意味着更多的头衔而感到骄傲：美利坚合众国公民。

所以，美国人民，在这最后的时刻：晚安。愿上帝保佑下一任总统。愿上帝保佑我们和这个美丽的国家。

推荐第6篇：清华大学演讲布什

布什在清华大学的演讲

非常感谢胡锦涛副主席的欢迎致辞。非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。我发现她与鲍威尔先生相处得很好，今天很高兴看到国务卿先生。同时我也看到我的事务助理赖斯女士，她曾经是斯坦福大学的校长，因此她回到校园是最适合不过了。我非常感谢各位对我热情的接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，来到清华大学这所世界最伟大的学府之一，这所大学恰好是在美国的支持下成立的，目标是为了推动我们两国的关系。我也知道清华大学对于副主席先生有着十分重要的意义，他不仅在这里获得了学位，而且在这里与他优雅的夫人相识。我想同时也感谢在座的各位同学给我这个机会跟大家见面谈一谈我自己的国家，并且回答大家的一些问题。

清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学也是一个成就，祝贺你们。我不知道大家是不是知道这一点，我和我的太太有两个女儿，她们像你们一样正在上大学，有一个女儿上的是得州大学，有一个女儿上的是耶鲁大学。她们是双胞胎。我对我们的两个女儿倍感骄傲，我想你们的父母对你们的成就同样也是引以为荣的。

我这次访华恰逢重要的周年纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，30年前的这一周，一个美国总统来到中国，他的访华之旅目的是为了结束两国长达数十年的隔阂和数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向世界显示了两个迥然不同的政府能够本着相互的利益、相互的尊重来到一起。那天他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说你与我的握手越过了世界上最辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。自那时以来，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。

随着我们两国间接触日益频繁，我们两国的国民也逐渐加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常非常重要的。曾经一度美国人只知道中国是历史悠久的、伟大的国家，今天我们仍然看到中国奉行着重视家庭、学业和荣誉的优良传统。同时，我们也看到中国也日益成为世界上最富有活力和创造力的国家之一，这一点最佳的验证是在坐诸位所具有的知识和潜力。

中国正走在一个兴起的道路上，而美国欢迎强大、和平与繁荣的中国出现。美国人在更进一步了解中国的同时，我却担心中国人不一定总是能够很清楚地看到我的国家的真实面貌，这里面有多种原因，其中有一些是我们自己造成的。我们的电影，还有电视节目，往往并没有全面反映出美国。

我们成功的企业显示了美国商业的力量。但是我们的精神，我们的社区精神，还有我们相互对彼此的贡献往往并不像我们在金钱方面的成功那么显而易见。

有一些关于美国错误的描述是他们做出的，我的朋友——美国驻华大使告诉我中国的教科书讲到美国人欺负弱者，压制穷人。另外有一本中国的教科书是去年出版的，书里说联邦调查局的特工们被用来压制劳动人民。这两种说法都是不真实的。这种措辞很可能是过去时代遗留的产物，不过它确实是误人子弟的，而且是有害的。美国人对于保护穷人或者弱者有着特殊的责任感，我们政府每年花费数十亿美元来提供医疗、食品和住房给那些无法自助的人们。

更为重要的是，我们许多的公民主动捐出自己的时间、金钱帮助有需要的人士。美国人的同情心同时也远远地超越了我们自己的国界。在人道主义援助方面，我们居世界首位，援助世界各地的人民。至于我们的联邦调查局和执法界的人们，他们本身就是劳动人民，他们从事限制打击腐败。我们国家毫无疑问有自己的问题和缺陷，像大部分的国家一样，我们正走在一个漫长的道路上，走向自己理想中的平等和正义。但是我们国家成为一个希望的灯塔是有原因的，世界各地很多人梦寐以求地来到美国也是有原因的，是因为我们是自由的国度。在美国，无论男女都有机会实现自己的梦想，不论你的背景、家境如何，在美国都可以得到很好的教育，可以创办企业，可以养育子女，可以自由地从事宗教活动，并且可以推选出你自己社区和国家的领导人。在美国，你可以支持我们政府的政策，同时你也可以公开、毫不掩饰地表示不同的观点。有些人害怕自由，他们会说自由可能会导致混乱，但是实际上并不会这样。因为自由的含义远远超越了人人为己，自由赋予了我们很多的权利，同时要求他们履行重大的责任。

我们的自由因为有道德，所以是一种有方向、有目的的自由，我们的自由在社区中、在宗教中得到熏陶，同时也有法律监督。我的国家最伟大的象征就是自由女神像，我不知道大家是不是看过她，她是经过精心设计的，她手里拿的是两件东西，而不是一件，其中一件拿的是大家比较熟悉的火炬，是自由之光，另一个手里拿的是法典。我们美国是一个自由的国家，每一个法律都是独立的。我是总统也无法告诉你是怎样判案的，根据我们的法律每一个人都是平等的，没有任何一个人是凌驾于法律之上的。

我们有着一部宪法，它现在已经有200年的历史，它限制并且平衡三个部门之间的权利，我是行政机构的一员。指导我们美国生活的很多价值观，首先都是在家庭中陶冶形成的，就像在中国一样。美国的妈妈、爸爸们疼爱他们的孩子，为他们辛勤劳动，做出牺牲，因为我们相信下一代的生活总会更好。

在我们的家庭中，我们可以找到关爱，可以学习如何负起责任，如何陶冶人格。很多美国人都主动地抽出时间为其他人提供服务，有很多人，成年人中几乎一半人每周都拿出时间使得他们的社区办得更好，他们辅导儿童，探访病人，照顾老人，并且做许许多多数不胜数的事情，这就是我的国家的一大优点。人们主动地承担起责任，帮助他人，他们的原动力就是善良的心，还有他们的信仰。

美国，是一个受信仰指导的国度，曾经有人称呼我们是教会制衡的国度，有95%的人说他们信神，我便是其中之一。几个月之前，我在上海见到江泽民主席的时候，我感到非常荣幸地跟他分享我的经历，就是信仰是如何影响了我的一生，信仰是如何充实了我们国家的生活，信仰为我们指出一种道德的规范，这超越人们的法律，也号召我们承担比物质利益更为崇高的使命。宗教自由不仅不可怕，而且应当受到欢迎，因为信仰给我们道德的追溯，它教我们如何用高标准要求自己，如何爱其他人，如何为其他人服务，如何有责任地过我们的生活。如果你到美国旅行的话，你会见到来自不同种族背景，有不同信仰的人，我们是多元化多姿多彩的国家，在那里有230万华人繁衍生息。在我们大公司的办公室里有华人工作，在美国政府内阁里有华人工作，在奥运会有代表美国参加比赛的华人，在美国只要宣誓效忠美国，就会成为不折不扣的美国公民。在美国的生活是多姿多彩的，但仍然是一个国家。美国的所有这些特征，都在一天之中生动、有力地显示出来，这就是9月11日，那天恐怖分子攻击了我的国家，美国警察们和救火队员们，成百上千的人冲进了燃烧的大楼，他们带着一线希望来拯救他们的同胞。志愿者来自各地，来帮助救援工作，美国人中有的献血，有的捐钱来帮助受难者的家庭。美国各地都举行祈祷会，人们升起他们的国旗，表明他们作为美国人的荣誉和团结，这些都不是政府下令做的，都是自由地、自发地、主动地做出的。

美国的生活表明，在一个自由的生活中多样化不是混乱，辩论不是争斗。一个自由的社会，信任其公民，会在其自身和国家的身上找到一个伟大的境界。我在1975年有幸访问过中国，在坐有些人可能还没有出生，这也表明我是多么老了。从那时以来，贵国发生了很多变化，中国取得了举世闻名的进步，在开放方面、在企业方面、在经济自由方面都是如此，从所有的进步中，人们可以看到中国有着巨大的潜力，中国已经加入了世界贸易组织。在诸位履行新的义务的同时，这些新的义务将对贵国的法律制度带来变化，一个现代化的中国将有着法制规范他们的商业生活。物质利益的诱惑在我们的国家给我们的社会造成了挑战，在很多成功的国家也造成了挑战。

诸位，重视个人和家庭责任的古老道德传统将使各位受益匪浅。在中国，如今经济成功的背后有着有活力的人才，在不久的将来，这些人无论是男是女将在政府中发挥积极和全面的作用。清华大学她不仅在培养专家，她也是在培育公民，公民在他们国家的事务中不是袖手旁观者，而是建设未来的参与者。变化正在到来，中国已经在地方一级进行不计名投票和地方选举。在32年以前，中国伟大的领导人邓小平说“中国最后将把这种民主选举推广到中央一级”，我期待着这一天的到来。上千万中国人如今都在重温佛教、道教和一些地方信仰的传统，还有信仰耶稣、伊斯兰和其他的宗教，不管怎样，他们都不会对公共造成威胁，他们是很好的公民。中国在包容各种宗教方面有古老的传统，我为一切迫害的终结祈祷，让所有的中国人都有从事宗教的自由。所有的这些将导致中国更加强大、更有自信，这个中国将使世界瞩目，也使世界更加丰富，这个中国就是诸位这一代帮助创建的中国。现在是非常令人振奋的时刻，此时此刻就连最宏伟的梦想也似乎唾手可得。我的国度为中国表示尊敬和友谊，再过六年，来自美国和世界的运动员将到贵国参加奥林匹克运动会，我坚信，他们能够见到的中国将是正在变成大国的中国，一个走在世界前沿的国家，一个与其他人民无争的中国。

President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua University Tsinghua University

Beijing, People\'s Republic of China 10:35 A.M.(Local)

I\'m so grateful for the hospitality, and honored for the reception at one of China\'s, and the world\'s, great universities. This university was founded, interestingly enough, with the support of my country, to further ties between our two nations.I know how important this place is to your Vice President.He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here.(Laughter.)

My visit to China comes on an important anniversary, as the Vice President mentioned.Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion.President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, in the spirit of mutual respect.As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said this to President Nixon: \"Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world -- 25 years of no communication.\"

During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce.And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other.And that\'s important.Once America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization.Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor.And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world -- as demonstrated by the knowledge and potential right here in this room.China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong and peaceful and prosperous China.(Applause.)

As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country.This happens for many reasons, and some of them of our own making.Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know.Our succeful businees show a strength of American commerce, but our spirit, community spirit, and contributions to each other are not always visible as monetary succe.

Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others.My friend, the Ambaador to China, tells me some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans of \"bullying the weak and repreing the poor.\" Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to \"repre the working people.\" Now, neither of these is true -- and while the words may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and they\'re harmful.

In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the weak and the poor.Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves -- and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need.American compaion also stretches way beyond our borders.We\'re the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world.And as for the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement, they\'re working people; they, themselves, are working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption.

My country certainly has its share of problems, no question about that.And we have our faults.Like most nations we\'re on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice.Yet there\'s a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America.It\'s because we\'re a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams.No matter your background or your circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, you can start your own busine, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and help elect the leaders of your community and your country.You can support the policies of our government, or you\'re free to openly disagree with them.Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself.

Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities.Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions, and overseen by a strong and fair legal system.

My country\'s greatest symbol to the world is the Statue of Liberty, and it was designed by special care.I don\'t know if you\'ve ever seen the Statue of Liberty, but if you look closely, she\'s holding not one object, but two.In one hand is the familiar torch we call the \"light of liberty.\" And in the other hand is a book of law.

All political power in America is limited and it is temporary, and only given by the free vote of the people.We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the power of the three branches of our government, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch, of which I\'m a part. Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country.American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation.In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.

And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving other people.An amazing number -- nearly half of all adults in America -- volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children, or by visiting the sick, or caring for the elderly, or helping with thousands of other needs and causes.This is one of the great strengths of my country.People take responsibility for helping others, without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith.

America is a nation guided by faith.Someone once called us \"a nation with the soul of a church.\" This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I\'m one of them.

When I met President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I had the honor of sharing with him how faith changed my life and how faith contributes to the life of my country.Faith points to a moral law beyond man\'s law, and calls us to duties higher than material gain.Freedom of religion is not something to be feared, it\'s to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and to serve others, and to live responsible lives.

If you travel acro America -- and I hope you do some day if you haven\'t been there -- you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths.We\'re a varied nation.We\'re home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, or in the Cabinet of the President of the United States, or skating for the America Olympic team.Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as just as American as the President.America shows that a society can be vast and it can be varied, yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.

And all these qualities of America were widely on display on a single day, September the 11th, the day when terrorists, murderers, attacked my nation.American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in desperation to save their fellow citizens.Volunteers came from everywhere to help with rescue efforts.Americans donated blood and gave money to help the families of victims.America had prayer services all over our country, and people raised flags to show their pride and unity.And you need to know, none of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of free people.

Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law is not to be feared.In a free society, diversity is not disorder.Debate is not strife.And dient is not revolution.A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatne in themselves and their country.

It was my honor to visit China in 1975 -- some of you weren\'t even born then.It shows how old I am.(Laughter.) And a lot has changed in your country since then.China has made amazing progre -- in openne and enterprise and economic freedom.And this progre previews China\'a great potential.

China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to China\'s legal system.A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions.The lure of materialism challenges our society -- challenges society in our country, and in many succeful countries.Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.

Behind China\'s economic succe today are talented, brilliant and energetic people.In the near future, those same men and women will play a full and active role in your government.This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens.And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country.They are participants in its future. Change is coming.China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level.Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- I want you to hear his words.He said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level.I look forward to that day.

Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths.Regardle of where or how these believers worship, they\'re no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens.For centuries, this country has had a tradition of religious tolerance.My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.

All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China -- a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create.This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.

My nation offers you our respect and our friendship.Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games.And I\'m confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.

今天，我满怀感激之情，感谢我的副总统切尼以及我所有的成员。我还要感谢我的妻子劳拉和我的女儿芭芭拉，詹娜，是她们给我的生活带来了无尽的快乐和爱意。我感谢我的父母，是他们给予了我前进的动力。最重要的是，我感谢美国人民给予我的信任，我感谢你们给予我的勇气、宽容。

This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addreed you from this houseand others we cannot foresee tonight - America must maintain our moral clarity.I have often spoken to you about good and evil.This has made some uncomfortable.But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two there can be no compromise.Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere.Freeing people from oppreion and despair is eternally right.This Nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth.We must always be willing to act in their defense and to advance the cause of peace.

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.This is a Nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom.This is a Nation where citizens show calm in times of danger and compaion in the face of suffering.We see examples of America’s character all around us.And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.

We see America’s character in Dr.Tony Recasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina.We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society.We see it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.

我们看到里卡斯钠b0士的美国特质，这位校长在卡特里娜飓风的废墟中开办一所新的特许学校。我们看到麦地那身上的美国特质，这位前囚犯带领一个以信仰为基础的项目，帮助囚犯重回社会。我们在上士麦考(试大达德身上的美国特质，他负责伊拉克的一次埋伏并拯救了三名同伴的海军陆战队队员。

We see America’s character in Bill Krioff, a surgeon from California.His son Nathan, a Marine, gave his life in Iraq.When I met Dr.Krioff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son.This good man was 60 years old – 18 years above the age limit.But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine.Lieutenant Commander Krioff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America’s wounded warriors and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.

我在外科医生克里索夫身上看到了美国人民的伟大个性。克里索夫的儿子，一名海军，在伊拉克光荣地献出了自己的生命。当我见到克里索夫和他家人的时候，他告诉了我一个惊人的消息：他告诉我，为了缅怀儿子，他希望加入美国海军医疗团。克里索夫已经60岁了，超过了年龄限制，但是他的申请得到了批准。在过去的一年中，克里索夫考(试大接受了良好的训练，但已经荣升少校的他今晚不能来到这里，他很快就会前往伊拉克，在那里他可以救助我们受伤的勇士并继续他儿子为完成的事业。

And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night.May God ble this house and our next President.And may God ble you and our wonderful country.

我亲爱的同胞们，我的演说就到这里了，晚安！愿上帝保佑奥巴马！愿上帝保佑你和我们美好的国家！

Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks.Thank you for welcoming me and my wife, Laura, here.

I see she\'s keeping pretty good company with the secretary of state, Colin Powell.

It\'s good to see you, Mr.Secretary.

And I see my national security adviser, Ms.Condoleezza Rice, who at one time was the provost of Stanford University, so she\'s comfortable on the university campuses such as this.

Thank you for being here, Condi.

I\'m so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of China\'s and the world\'s great universities.

The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here.So congratulations.

My visit to China comes on an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.Thirty years ago this week an American president arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion.President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest in the spirit of mutual respect.

As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou En-Lai said this to President Nixon: “Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world——25 years of no communication.”

It was my honor to visit China in 1975.Some of you weren\'t even born then.It shows how old I am.

A lot has changed in your country since then.China has made amazing progre in openne and enterprise and economic freedom.And this progre previews China\'s great potential.China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to the Chinese legal system.A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.

All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China, a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create.

This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.My nation offers you our respect and our friendship.

Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic Games, and I\'m confident they will find a China that is becoming a daguo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.

非常感谢胡副主席热情洋溢的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。

我发现她与国务卿科林·鲍威尔先生相处得很好。看到你很高兴，国务卿先生。

我也看到我的国家安全顾问康多莉莎·赖斯女士，她曾经是斯坦福大学的校长，因此她回到校园是最适合不过的了。

谢谢你能来，康迪。

非常感谢各位对我热情的接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一。

清华大学的治学标准和声望世界闻名，我也知道能考入这所大学本身也是一个很大的成就，因此，我要祝贺你们。

正如副主席刚才谈到的，我这次访华恰逢一个重要的周年纪念日，三十年前的这一周，一个美国总统来到了中国，他的访华之旅，目的是为了结束两国长达数十年的隔阂，和数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向世界表明了有着重大差异的两个国家，本着互利互惠，相互尊重的精神是能够站在一起的。

那天，他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说：“你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。”

三十年来，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。随着我们两国间接触的日益增多，我们两国人民逐步加深了了解，这是非常重要的。

我在1975年有幸访问过中国，那时在座的有些人可能还没有出生，这也表明我是多么老了。

从那以来，贵国发生了很多变化。中国在开放方面、在企业方面、在经济自由方面都取得了惊人的成就。这一成就显示了中国有着巨大的潜能。中国已经加入了世界贸易组织，在你们履行世界贸易组织成员义务的同时，这些义务势必将给中国的法律体系带来变化。一个现代化的中国将有着统一的法制来规范他们的商业生活和保障人民的权益。

你们这一代人正在建设的中国，需要你们的深远传统的智慧。物质利益的诱惑对我们的社会造成了挑战——在我们的国家给我们的社会造成了挑战，在很多成功的国家也造成了挑战。

所有的这些变化，将导致中国更加强大、更加自信，这个中国将使世界瞩目，也使世界更加丰富。

这个中国就是各位一代所帮助创立的中国。现在是中国历史上一个非常令人振奋的时刻。此时此刻，就连最宏伟的梦想也似乎唾手可得。我的国度，对中国表示敬意和友谊。

再过六年，来自美国和世界各国的运动员，将到贵国参加奥林匹克运动会，我坚信，他们能够见到的中国将是正在变成一个大国的中国，一个走在世界前沿的国家，一个民心安定，与世界和平相处的中国。

推荐第10篇：布什告别演讲中英文

布什离职演讲的中英文文稿

George W.Bush: \"This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth.\"

Thank you.Fellow citizens, for eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your president.

The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence, a time set apart.

Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey we have traveled together and the future of our nation.

Five days from now, the world will witne the vitality of American democracy.In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pa to a succeor chosen by you, the American people.Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land.

This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation.And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-elect Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.

Tonight, I am filled with gratitude to Vice President Cheney and members of the administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime.

And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me.I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits.And I thank you for the countle acts of courage, generosity and grace that I have witneed these past eight years.

This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addreed you from this house, September 11, 2001.That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor.

I remember standing in the rubble of the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock.I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke- filled corridors at the Pentagon and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93.

I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son\'s police shield as a reminder of all that was lost.And I still carry his badge.

As the years paed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11.But I never did.Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation.And I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.

Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created.The military, the intelligence community and the FBI have been transformed.Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists\' movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots.

And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them.Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school.

Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States.

There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions, but there can be little debate about the results.America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil.This is a tribute to those who toil day and night to keep us safe -- law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women of the United States armed forces.

Our nation is bleed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger.I have cherished meeting these selfle patriots and their families.And America owes you a debt of gratitude.

And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight, there has been no higher honor than serving as your commander in chief.

The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.

This is the belief that gave birth to our nation.And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens.

When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror.When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism.

So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights and human dignity.We are standing with diidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria.And this great republic, born alone in liberty, is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.

The addicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith- based programs.Vulnerable human life is better protected.Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled.America\'s air, water and lands are measurably cleaner.And the federal bench includes wise new members, like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.

All Americans are in this together.And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth.We will show the world once again the resilience of America\'s free enterprise system.

Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks and there are things I would do differently, if given the chance. Yet, I\'ve always acted with the best interests of our country in mind.I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right.You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made, but I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.

The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.

While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack.Our enemies are patient and determined to strike again.

America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict.But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them.We must resist complacency.We must keep our resolve.And we must never let down our guard.

At the same time, we just continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose.In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward.But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism.

Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger.In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad.If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.

As we addre these challenges, and others we cannot foresee tonight, America must maintain our moral clarity.

I have often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable.But good and evil are present in this world and between the two, there can be no compromise.Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere.

Freeing people from oppreion and despair is eternally right.This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth.We must always be willing to act in their defense and to advance the cause of peace.

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom.

This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger and compaion in the face of suffering.We see examples of America\'s character all around us, and Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.

We see America\'s character in Dr.Tony Recasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina.We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society.We see it in Staff Sgt.Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.

This good man was 60 years old, 18 years above the age limit.But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine.

Lt.Cmdr.Krioff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America\'s wounded warriors and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.

In citizens like these we see the best of our country, resilient and hopeful, caring and strong.These virtues give me an unshakable faith in America.We have faced danger and trial, and there is more ahead.

But with the courage of our people and confidence in our ideals, this great nation will never tire, never falter and never fail.

It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your president.There have been good days and tough days.But every day, I have been inspired by the greatne of our country and uplifted by the goodne of our people.

I have been bleed to represent this nation we love.And I will always be honored to carry a title that means more to me than any Other -- citizen of the United States of America.

And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time, good night.May God ble this house and our next president.And may God ble you and our wonderful country.

.为大家做美国总统是我一生中的荣耀，今晚，我带着感恩的心，让我有最后一次机会跟大家分享我过去八年的想法，以及我为这个国家所做的什么。

没有人能够否认美国经济的繁荣与活力。美国总统即将交给一个由你们选出来的优秀的继任人。

我要恭喜奥巴马，他的夫人和他的两个女儿，我要谢谢副总统切尼，还有我所有的官员。还有我的夫人劳拉在一生中为我作出的贡献。这个演讲也要献给我的父母一生中对我的养育之恩。我感谢美国人民给我的宽容，对我在过去八年来的支持。

今晚，我在这里发表最后的演说，我会想到八年前的那一年，我们也遇到了美国史上最严重的一次恐怖袭击。三天以后，救援人员赶到现场，我还记得当时和周围的官员执行沟通，我非常的痛心。我对于飞机上失事的人感到非常的遗憾。我对于美国的这些英雄，他们献出了自己宝贵的生命，也献出了对美国的忠心，我到现在还记得这些美国的英雄人物。每天早上，我在接受到简报的时候，我发誓我将尽一切的努力保护美国人民的安全。

在过去七年时间，我们的国土安全得到了前所未有的改善，军事情报和FBI都得到了改变和改善。为了保护国土安全，突破国外恐怖分子的情报，我们都已经进入到了反恐的前线。

阿富汗也得到了前所未有的改变，阿富汗迎来了民主，他们迎来了第一批民主选民。他们得到我们的支持，我们也愿意在以后继续和他们前行。

中东是我们关注的地方，这个决定引来了很多的争议，但是对于结果我们没有任何争议。但是美国过去七年来没有遭受任何一次恐怖袭击，这是所有人的努力。法律部门、情报部门、国土安全局，美国男女都为此作出了巨大的努力。美国受到了上帝的保佑，在危难时刻我们一起渡过，我珍惜这些所做的贡献。今天在场的所有人，他们有至高的荣誉，我们未能完成的战争，第一，我们在意识形态上面临着巨大的挑战，我们打击那些恐怖主义。第二点是自由主义，自由是上天给予我们的礼物，我们应该珍惜，这是上天给每一个美国人的礼物。我们相信这也是保护每一个人的唯一的途径。只有生活在自由中，我们才能够拥有最高的勇气去战胜恐怖主义。在全世界，美国也在推行人权主义，我们推行的是尊严。在这样的一个伟大的国家，我们是与解放自由相结合在一起的。在八年的时间里。我们也不断的在为未来做各种各样的努力。教育体制得到了各种各样的改变，保健体系也得到了改善。为残疾人士提供了很多的优惠。

我们也看到，比瑞科瑞萨芙他在加州，他的儿子为反恐战争献出了生命，他告诉我他想参加海军，来表达他对他儿子的爱心。我对这些人感到无比的感动。在过去的时间，他们在医药保健领域也涌现了很多优秀的人物。但是在这些领域，有些人不能到场。像这样的民众，我们看到了美国最好的一面，他们为我展现无限伟大的未来。他们让我们相信，美国人拥有信心和勇气。这样一个伟大的国家，永远不会退休。永远不会失败。作为总统，我觉得这是我至上的荣誉。在好的日子和艰难的日子，我都这样认为。像我之前的讲话一样，我相信如果再给我一次机会，很多事情我会选择不同的做法。但是我相信我的出发点都是以美国的利益为重。也许你们不同意我的某些强硬的决策。但是，过去的几十年来，我们确实也面临许多巨大的挑战，我们必须要作出艰难的选择。七年以后我们的国家变得更加安全，当然，还是面临着恐怖袭击的威胁。我们愿意继续的与恐怖主义做斗争。我们肩负重任，我们必须迎向这些挑战。我们必须继续保持决心，我们也不能让这些保佑美国的人失望。

我们希望为世界注入信心，当然，也会有短暂的挫折，保护主义是我们必须要警觉的。在二十一世纪，安全和希望建立在全球自由的基础上，如果美国不走自由的道路，就没有人能够信服。这些威胁是我们无法预见的。我们必须要保持着道德的清晰。整个世界上会有好的与邪恶的东西，但是这可能会让很多人感到不安，但是我们必须要说，我们必须要承认他的存在，去面对这些邪恶的东西。美国民族必须要继续为伸张正义而前行。为和平而努力，我喜欢未来胜过于过去。我在上任时就保持着这样的信念，美国是一个拥有多元化的国家，在最困难的时候，我们也将眼光放得长远。我有信心，因为我知道美国民族的性格，因为美国人愿意牺牲任何事情来实现美国的梦想。我们看到许多典型的例子，劳拉和我也邀请他们来到白宫，今天晚上我们将共聚一堂。在卡特里拉期间，我们看到有优秀的老师为学生打开了一个庇护所.

我感受到了美国人民的伟大。我受到上天的保佑，感受美国人民的支持。我永远会记住这些时刻。永远会记住美国民众的支持。我今天晚上向大家作出告别，我希望美国继续保佑美国。谢谢！

第11篇：乔治布什2002年演讲

Radio Addre by the President to the Nation (Text Only)The White House President George W.BushPrint this document

For Immediate Release Office of the Pre Secretary September 21, 2002

Radio Addre by the President to the Nation

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.In the past week, U.S.officials in Pakistan took custody of five al Qaeda members, including a key strategist for the September the 11th attacks.And here in America, federal agents arrested six men suspected of having trained at al Qaeda terrorist camps in Afghanistan.

These arrests remind us that we are engaged in a new kind of war, fought on many fronts, including the home front.The arrests also remind us that the enemy is still at large, threatening our safety and security.Defeating terrorism requires constant vigilance and preparation by our citizens and by our government.

One way for the Congre to protect the American people is to pa legislation creating a new department of homeland security.This new department must have a single, overriding responsibility, to coordinate our homeland defense efforts, which are now scattered acro the government.

After le than a week of debate, the House of Representatives paed a good bill, a bill that gives me the flexibility to confront emerging threats quickly and effectively.Yet after three weeks of debate, the Senate has still not paed a bill I can sign.The legislation the Senate is debating is deeply

flawed.The Senate bill would force the new department to fight against terror threats with one hand tied behind its back.The department of homeland security must be able to move people and resources quickly, to respond to threats

immediately, without being forced to comply with a thick book of bureaucratic rules.

Yet the current Senate approach keeps in place a cumbersome proce that can take five months to hire a needed employee, and 18 months to fire someone who is not doing his job.In the war on terror, this is time we do not have.

Even worse, the Senate bill would weaken my existing authority to prohibit collective bargaining when national security is at stake.Every President since

Jimmy Carter has had this very narrow authority throughout the government, and I need this authority in the war on terror.

As Democrat Senator Zell Miller said, the daunting task of securing this country is almost incomprehensible.Let\'s not make it more difficult by tying this President\'s hands and the hands of every President who comes after him. In an effort to break the logjam in the Senate, Senator Miller and Republican Senator Phil Gramm have taken the lead in crafting a bipartisan alternative to the current flawed Senate bill.I commend them, and support their approach.

Their proposal would provide the new secretary of homeland security much of the flexibility he needs to move people and resources to meet new threats.It will protect every employee of the new department against illegal discrimination, and build a culture in which federal employees know they are keeping their fellow citizens safe through their service to America.

I ask you to call your senators and to urge them to vote for this bipartisan

alternative.Senators Miller and Gramm, along with Senator Fred Thompson, have made great progre in putting the national interest ahead of partisan interest. I\'m confident that every Senator, Republican and Democrat, wants to do what is best for America.

Creating a new department of homeland security will make America stronger and safer.It is time for the Senate to act. Thank you for listening. END

第12篇：布什清华演讲[推荐]

The Speech delivered by President Bush at

Tsinghua University

布什总统在清华大学的演讲词(节选)

Vice President Hu, thank you for your words of welcome.I am grateful for your hospitality, and honored by this reception at one of China\'s great universities.

胡副主席，感谢您和诸位对我的热情款待，同时我也对能参观此中国最优秀的学府之一而表示荣幸。

Tsinghua University was founded, with the support of America, to further the ties between our two nations.I know how important this place is to the Vice President, who earned his degree here and even more important, met his gracious wife Liu Yongqing here.

清华学府从始建的那一刻，就凝聚着中美两国的共同努力，发展着中美两国的关系。我也知道清华学府对于胡副主席有着多么重要的意义--他于这里获得学位，并钟情于他贤淑的妻子--刘雍晴女士。

I also thank the students here for this opportunity to meet with you, to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions.The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here.My wife Laura and I have two daughters in college, one at Yale and the other at the University of Texas.We are proud of our daughters just like I am sure your parents are proud of you.

同时我也感谢在座的诸位同学，给予我这个机会，谈一谈我的国家，并回答大家一些问题。清华学府蜚声全球，她在你们国家更有着不可替代的位置。劳拉和我的两个女儿，一个在耶鲁大学就读，一个在德克萨斯进修。我们为她们而感到自豪，就正如你们的父母为你们而自豪一样。

My visit to China comes on an important anniversary.Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion.President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, and in a spirit of mutual respect.As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said to President Nixon, ``Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world twenty-five years of no communication.\'\'

我这次访华恰逢一重要的周年纪念日。30年前的此星期，一个美国总统来到了中国。本着结束中美两国之间长达数十年的隔阂及长达数百年的互相猜忌，尼克松总统向世界宣告，两个迥然不同的政府能够基于共同的利益和相互的尊重走到一起。当他们在离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说，您和我的握手越过了这个世界上最为浩瀚的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。

此后的30年，中美两国已经在发展友谊和商业交往中进行多次握手。随着中美两国的更多接触，两国人民也逐渐增加了互相了解。

Once, America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization.Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor.And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world as demonstrated by all the knowledge and potential right here in this room.

曾经一度，美国人只能通过历史知道中国是一个拥有悠久文明的伟大国家。今天我们看到中国仍然奉行重视家庭，学业和荣誉的良好传统；并且，我们看到中国正日益成为世界上最有活力和创造力的国家之一。在座诸位所具备的知识和潜力便是其最好的证明。

China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong, peaceful, and prosperous China.

中国正在蒸蒸日上，而美国是欢迎一个强大、和平与繁荣的中国出现的。

It was my honor to visit China in 1975, and a lot has changed in your country since then.China has made amazing progre in openne, and enterprise, and economic freedom.And this progre previews China\'s great potential.

我曾有幸在1975年时参观中国，从那以后，中国进行了翻天覆地的变化。中国的巨大潜力在其开放程度、企业改革和经济自由中表现的淋漓尽致。

China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they will bring changes in China\'s legal system.A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.

中国已加入了世贸组织，我相信中国的法律体系也定会随之而得到完善。一个现代化的中国将会拥有一个完善的法制----规范其商业活动，也保护其公民权利。

The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions.The lure of materialism challenges society in our country and in many succeful countries.Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well.

诸位，你们这代人在建设一个新中国时，也同样需要继承贵国传统中博大精深的智慧。拜金主义的危害使我们的国家受到影响，也同样使其他许多强大的国家备受其害。贵国传统文化中那些优秀的个人品质及家庭责任感将能帮助你们克服这些困难。

My nation offers you our respect and our friendship.Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games.And I am confident they will find a China that is becoming a daguo, a leading nation, at peace with the world.

作为一个国家，我们对贵国表示尊重和友好。再过6年，来自美国和全世界的运动员将到贵国参加奥林匹克比赛。我坚信，他们一定会看到一个强大的国家；一个走在世界前段的国家；一个与世界和平相处的国家。

Thank you！

谢谢大家！

第13篇：布什演讲8月稿

8.30.2008 President\'s Radio Addre

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.This weekend, millions of Americans will celebrate Labor Day.This holiday marks the traditional end of the summer season.It is also an opportunity to reflect on the contributions of hardworking Americans all acro our countrysurprising analysts who were predicting an economic receion.

These welcome signs indicate that the economic stimulus package that I signed earlier this year is having its intended effect.The growth package will return more than $150 billion back to American families and businees this year.Many Americans who received tax rebates are spending them.Businees are taking advantage of tax incentives to purchase new equipment this year.And there are signs that the stimulus package will continue to have a beneficial impact on the economy in the second half of the year.

Labor Day is also the traditional start of the election season.In the coming months, it will be tempting for some in Congre to try to score political points instead of getting work done for the American people.Our citizens deserve better.We still have time to accomplish important goals for our country.My Administration remains hopeful that we can work with Democratic leaders in Congre on bipartisan measures to help Americans cope with this period of economic uncertainty.

We need to work together on a comprehensive approach to our energy problems.I\'ve called on Congre to permit us to tap vast, unused sources of oil and gas, expand domestic refining capacity, and encourage the development of alternative energy sources.Congre continues to stand in the way of this comprehensive approach.At a minimum, Democratic leaders in Congre should move forward on common-sense energy proposals that have bipartisan supportso that we can create more opportunities for American farmers, ranchers, and entrepreneurs.

We need to work together to keep your taxes low.At a time of economic challenge, the last thing American families need is a maive tax increase.It\'s not too late for Congre to make the tax relief we paed in 2001 and 2003 permanent.

Despite our economic difficulties, there is every reason to be optimistic about America\'s future.Our workforce is dynamic and productive.Our economy is showing that it is resilient.And our Nation is the most industrious, creative, and prosperous on earth.

Laura and I wish you a safe and joyous Labor Day weekend.Thank you for listening.

第14篇：布什演讲 addre to the nation

Bush’s Addre to the Nation

Good evening.Today our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom, came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.The victims were in aeroplanes or in their offices: secretaries, businemen and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors.Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadne and a quiet, unyielding anger.

These acts of ma murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat.But they have failed.Our country is strong.A great people have been moved to defend a great nation.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America.These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

America was targeted for attack because we\'re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.And no one will keep that light from shining.

Today our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature.And we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.

Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government\'s emergency response plans.

Our military is powerful, and it\'s prepared.Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, DC, to help with local rescue efforts.Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.The functions of our government continue without interruption.Federal agencies in Washington， which had to be evacuated today are reopening for eential personnel tonight and will be open for busine tomorrow.Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for busine as well.The search is under way for those who are behind these evil acts.I have directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice.We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbored them.I appreciate so very much the members of Congre who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks.And on behalf of the American people I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and aistance.America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world.And we stand together to win the war against terrorism.Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened.And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me.This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace.America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.Thank you.Good night, and God ble America.

第15篇：布什选举获胜演讲

Thank you all.Thank you very much.Thank you.Thank you very much.Good evening, my fellow Americans.I appreciate so very much the opportunity to speak with you tonight.Mr.Speaker, Lieutenant Governor, friends, distinguished guests, our country has been through a long and trying period, with the outcome of the presidential election not finalized for longer than any of us could ever imagine.

Vice President Gore and I put our hearts and hopes into our campaigns.We both gave it our all.We shared similar emotions, so I understand how difficult this moment must be for Vice President Gore and his family.

He has a distinguished record of service to our country as a congreman, a senator and a vice president.This evening I received a gracious call from the vice president.We agreed to meet early next week in Washington, and we agreed to do our best to heal our country after this hard-fought contest.Tonight I want to thank all the thousands of volunteers and campaign workers who worked so hard on my behalf.I also salute the vice president and his supports for waging a spirited campaign.And I thank him for a call that I know was difficult to make.Laura and I wish the vice president and Senator Lieberman and their families the very best.I have a lot to be thankful for tonight.I\'m thankful for America and thankful that we were able to resolve our electoral differences in a peaceful way.

I\'m thankful to the American people for the great privilege of being able to serve as your next president.I want to thank my wife and our daughters for their love.Laura\'s active involvement as first lady has made Texas a better place, and she will be a wonderful first lady of America.I am proud to have Dick Cheney by my side, and America will be proud to have him as our next vice president.Tonight I chose to speak from the chamber of the Texas House of Representatives because it has been a home to bipartisan cooperation.Here in a place where Democrats have the majority, Republicans and Democrats have worked together to do what is right for the people we represent.We\'ve had spirited disagreements.And in the end, we found constructive consensus.It is an experience I will always carry with me, an example I will always follow.I want to thank my friend, House Speaker Pete Laney, a Democrat, who introduced me today.I want to thank the legislators from both political parties with whom I\'ve worked.

Acro the hall in our Texas capitol is the state Senate.And I cannot help but think of our mutual friend, the former Democrat lieutenant governor, Bob Bullock.His love for Texas and his ability to work in a bipartisan way continue to be a model for all of us.The spirit of cooperation I have seen in this hall is what is needed in Washington, D.C.It is the challenge of our moment.After a difficult election, we must put politics behind us and work together to make the promise of America available for every one of our citizens.I am optimistic that we can change the tone in Washington, D.C.I believe things happen for a reason, and I hope the long wait of the last five weeks will heighten a desire to move beyond the bitterne and partisanship of the recent past.Our nation must rise above a house divided.Americans share hopes and goals and values far more important than any political disagreements.Republicans want the best for our nation, and so do Democrats.Our votes may differ, but not our hopes.I know America wants reconciliation and unity.I know Americans want progre.And we must seize this moment and deliver.Together, guided by a spirit of common sense, common courtesy and common goals, we can unite and inspire the American citizens.Together, we will work to make all our public schools excellent, teaching every student of every background and every accent, so that no child is left behind.Together we will save Social Security and renew its promise of a secure retirement for generations to come.Together we will strengthen Medicare and offer prescription drug coverage to all of our seniors.Together we will give Americans the broad, fair and fiscally responsible tax relief they deserve.Together we\'ll have a bipartisan foreign policy true to our values and true to our friends, and we will have a military equal to every challenge and superior to every adversary.Together we will addre some of society\'s deepest problems one person at a time, by encouraging and empowering the good hearts and good works of the American people.This is the eence of compaionate conservatism and it will be a foundation of my administration.These priorities are not merely Republican concerns or Democratic concerns; they are American responsibilities.During the fall campaign, we differed about the details of these proposals, but there was remarkable consensus about the important iues before us: excellent schools, retirement and health security, tax relief, a strong military, a more civil society.We have discued our differences.Now it is time to find common ground and build consensus to make America a beacon of opportunity in the 21st century.I\'m optimistic this can happen.Our future demands it and our history proves it.Two hundred years ago, in the election of 1800, America faced another close presidential election.A tie in the Electoral College put the outcome into the hands of Congre.After six days of voting and 36 ballots, the House of Representatives elected Thomas Jefferson the third president of the United States.That election brought the first transfer of power from one party to another in our new democracy.

Shortly after the election, Jefferson, in a letter titled \"Reconciliation and Reform,\" wrote this.\"The steady character of our countrymen is a rock to which we may safely moor; unequivocal in principle, reasonable in manner.We should be able to hope to do a great deal of good to the cause of freedom and harmony.\" Two hundred years have only strengthened the steady character of America.And so as we begin the work of healing our nation, tonight I call upon that character: respect for each other, respect for our differences, generosity of spirit, and a willingne to work hard and work together to solve any problem.I have something else to ask you, to ask every American.I ask for you to pray for this great nation.I ask for your prayers for leaders from both parties.I thank you for your prayers for me and my family, and I ask you to pray for Vice President Gore and his family.I have faith that with God\'s help we as a nation will move forward together as one nation, indivisible.And together we will create and America that is open, so every citizen has acce to the American dream; an America that is educated, so every child has the keys to realize that dream; and an America that is united in our diversity and our shared American values that are larger than race or party.

I was not elected to serve one party, but to serve one nation.The president of the United States is the president of every single American, of every race and every background.Whether you voted for me or not, I will do my best to serve your interests and I will work to earn your respect.I will be guided by President Jefferson\'s sense of purpose, to stand for principle, to be reasonable in manner, and above all, to do great good for the cause of freedom and harmony.The presidency is more than an honor.It is more than an office.It is a charge to keep, and I will give it my all.Thank you very much and God ble America.Good evening.

布什清华演讲全文（附译文）(2009-07-20 22:26:21)转载▼标签：杂谈

Remarks by President Bush at Tsinghua University

I\'m so grateful for the hospitality, and honored for the reception at one of China\'s, and the world\'s, great universities.

This university was founded, interestingly enough, with the support of my country, to further ties between our two nations.I know how important this place is to your Vice President.He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here.(Laughter.)

Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country.American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation.In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character.

America is a nation guided by faith.Someone once called us \"a nation with the soul of a church.\" This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I\'m one of them.

Change is coming.China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level.Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- I want you to hear his words.He said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level.I look forward to that day.

Thank you for letting me come.(Applause.)

非常感谢胡锦涛副主席的欢迎致辞。非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。我发现他与鲍威尔先生相处得很好，今天很高兴看到国务卿先生。同时我也看到我的事务助理莱斯女士，她曾经是斯坦福大学的校长，因此她回到校园是最适合不过了。我非常感谢各位对我热情的接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一，这所大学恰好是在美国的支持下成立的，目标是为了推动我们两国的关系。我也知道清华大学对于副主席先生有着十分重要的意义，他不仅在这里获得了学位，而且在这里与他优雅的夫人相识。我想同时也感谢在座的各位学生给我这个机会跟大家见面谈一谈我自己的国家，并且回答大家的一些问题。

清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学也是一个成就，祝贺你们。我不知道大家是不是知道这一点，我和我的太太有两个女儿，她们像你们一样正在上大学，有一个女儿上的是德州大学，有一个女儿是上耶鲁大学。她们是双胞胎。我对我们的两个女儿倍感骄傲，我想你们的父母对你们的成就同样也是引以为荣的。

我这次访华恰逢重要的周年纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，30年前的这一周，一个美国总统来到中国，他的访华之旅目的是为了结束两国长达数十年的隔阂和数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向世界显示了两个迥然不同的政府能够本着相互的利益、相互的尊重来到一起。那天他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说你与我的握手越过了世界上最辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。自从那时以来，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。

随着我们两国间接触的日益频繁，我们两国的国民也逐渐的加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常非常重要的。曾经一度美国人知道中国是历史悠久的、伟大的国家，今天我们仍然看到中国奉行着重视家庭、学业和荣誉的优良的传统。同时，我们也看到中国也日益成为世界上最富有活力和创造力的国的之一，这一点最佳的验证是在座诸位所具有的知识和潜力。

中国正走在一个兴起的道路上，而美国欢迎强大、和平与繁荣的中国的出现。我同美国人在更进一步了解中国的同时，我却担心中国人不一定总是能够很清楚的看到我的国家的真实面貌，这里面有多种原因，其中有一些是我们自己造成的。我们的电影，还有电视节目，往往并没有全面反映出美国。

我们成功的企业显示了美国商业的力量。但是我们的精神，我们的社区精神，还有我们相互对彼此的贡献往往并不像我们金钱方面的成功那么的显而易见。

有一些关于美国错误的描述是他们做出的，我的朋友--美国驻华大使告诉我中国的教科书讲到美国人欺负弱者，压制穷人。另外有一本中国的教科书是去年出版的，书里说联邦调查局的特工们被用来压制劳动人民。这两种说法都是不真实的。这种措辞很可能是过去时代遗留的产物，不过它确实是误人子弟的，而且是有害的。美国人对于保护穷人或者弱者有着特殊的责任感，我们政府每年花费数十亿美元来提供医疗、食品和住房给那些无法自助的人们。

更为重要的是，我们许多的公民主动捐出自己的时间、金钱帮助有需要的人士。美国人的同情心同时也远远的超越了我们自己的国界。在人道主义援助方面，我们居世界首位，援助世界各地的人民。至于我们的联邦调查局和执法界的人们，他们本身就是劳动人们，他们从事限制打击腐败。我们国家毫无疑问有自己的问题和缺陷，像大部分的国家一样，我们正走在一个漫长的道路上，走向自己理想中的平等和正义。但是我们国家成为一个希望的灯塔是有原因的，世界各地很多人梦寐以求的来到美国也是有原因的，是因为我们是自由的国度。在美国无论男女都有机会实现自己的梦想，不论你的背景、家境如何，在美国都可以得到很好的教育，可以创办企业，可以养育子女，可以自由的从事宗教活动，并且可以推选出你自己社区和国家的领导人。在美国你可以支持我们政府的政策，同时你也可以公开、毫不掩饰的表示不同的观点。有些人害怕自由，他们会说自由可能会导致混乱，但是实际上并不会这样。因为自由的含义远远超越了人人为己，自由赋予了我们很多的权利，同时要求他们履行重大的责任。

我们的自由因为有道德，所以是一种有方向、有目的的自由，我们的自由在强健的加强中，在强健的社区中，在强健的宗教中得到熏陶，同时也有法律监督。我的国家最伟大的象征就是自由女神像，我不知道大家是不是看过她，她是经过精心设计的，她手里拿的是两件东西，而不是一件，其中一件拿的是大家比较熟悉的火炬，是自由之光，另一个手里拿的是法典。我们美国是一个自由的国家，每一个法律都是独立的。我是总统也无法告诉是怎样判案的，根据我们的法律每一个人都平等的，没有任何一个人是凌驾于法律之上的。

我们有着一部宪法，它现在已经有200年的历史，它限制并且平衡三个部门之间的权利，我是行政机构的一员。指导我们美国生活的很多价值观，首先都是在家庭中陶冶形成的，就像在中国一样。美国的妈妈、爸爸们疼爱他们的孩子，为他们辛勤的劳动做出牺牲，因为我们相信下一代的生活总会更好。

在我们的家庭中，我们可以找到关爱，可以学习如何负起责任，如何陶冶人格。很多美国人都主动的抽出时间为其他人提供服务，有很多人，几乎成年中的一半人每周都拿出时间使得他们的社区办得更好，他们辅导儿童，探访病人，照顾老人，并且做许许多多数不胜数的事情，这就是我的国家的一大优点。人们主动的承担起责任，帮助他人，他们的原动力就是善良的心还有他们的信仰。

美国，是一个受信仰指导的国度，曾经有人称呼我们是教会制衡的国度，有95％的人说他们信神，我便是其中之一。几个月之前，我在上海见到江泽民主席的时候，我感到非常荣幸的跟他分享我的经历，就是信仰是如何影响了我的一生，信仰是如何充实了我们国家的生活，信仰为我们指出一种道德的规范，这超越人们的法律，也号召我们承担比物质利益更为崇高的使命。宗教自由不仅不可怕，而且应当受到欢迎，因为信仰给我们道德的追溯，它教我们如何用高标准要求自己，如何爱其他人，如何为其他人，如何有责任的过我们的生活。如果你到美国旅行的话，你会见到来自不同种族背景，有不同信仰的人，我们是多元化多姿多彩的国家，在那里有230万华人繁衍生息。在我们大公司的办公室里有华人工作，在美国政府内阁里有华人工作，在奥林匹克代表美国参加比赛的有华人，在美国只要宣誓效忠美国，就会成为不折不扣的美国公民。在美国的生活是多姿多彩的，但是仍然是一个国家。美国的所有这些特征，都在一天之中生动、有力的显示出来，这就是9月11日，那天恐怖分子攻击了我的国家，美国警察们和救火队员们，成百上千的冲进了燃烧的大楼，他们带着一线的拯救同胞的希望，志愿者来自各地，来帮助救援工作，美国人中有的献血，有的捐钱帮助受难者的家庭。美国各地都举行祈祷会，人们升起他们的国旗，表明他们作为美国人的荣誉和团结，这些都不是政府下令做的，都是自由的、自发的、主动的做出的。

美国的生活表明，在一个自由的生活中多样化不是混乱，辩论不是争斗。一个自由的社会，信任其公民，会在其自身和国家的身上找到一个伟大的境界。我在1975年有幸访问过中国，在座有些人可能还没有出生，这也表明我是多么老了。从那时以来，贵国发生了很多变化，中国取得了举世闻名的进步，在开放方面、在企业方面、在经济自由方面都是如此，从所有的进步中，人们可以看到中国有着巨大的潜力，中国已经加入了世界贸易组织。在诸位履行新的义务的同时，这些新的义务将对贵国的法律制度带来变化，一个现代化的中国将有着法制规范他们的商业生活。物质主义的诱惑在我们的国家给我们的社会造成挑战，在很多成功的国家也造成了挑战。

诸位，重视个人和家庭责任的古老道德传统将使各位受益匪浅。在中国如今经济成功的背后有着有活力的人才，在不久的将来，这些人无论是男是女将在政府中发挥积极和全面的作用。清华大学她不仅在培养专家，她也是在培育公民，光明在他们国家的事务中不是袖手旁观者，他们是建设未来的参与者，变化正在到来，中国已经在地方一级进行不计名投票和地方选举。在32年以前，中国伟大的领导人邓小平说：\"中国最后将把这种民主选举推广到中央一级\"，我期待着这一天的到来。上千万中国人如今都在重温佛教、道教和一些地方信仰的传统，还有信仰耶稣、伊斯兰和其他的信仰，不管怎样，他们都不会对公共造成威胁，他们是很好的公民。中国在包容各种宗教方面有古老的传统，我为一切迫害的终结祈祷，让所有的中国人都有从事宗教的自由。所有的这些将导致中国更加强大、更大有自信，这个中国将使世界瞩目，也使世界更加丰富，这个中国就是诸位这一代帮助创建的中国。现在是非常令人振奋的时刻，此时此刻就连最宏伟的梦想也似乎唾手可得。我的国度为中国表示尊敬和友谊，再过六年，来自美国和世界的运动员将到贵国参加奥林匹克比赛，我坚信，他们能够见到的中国将是正在变成大国的中国，一个走在世界前沿的国家，一个与其他人民无争的中国。

第17篇：布什清华大学演讲口译

President Bush:

Vice President Hu, thank you for your words of welcome.I am grateful for your hospitality, and honored by this reception at one of China\'s great universities. Tsinghua University was founded, with the support of America, to further the ties between our two nations.I know how important this place is to the Vice President, who earned his degree here and even more important, met his gracious wife Liu Yongqing here.

I also thank the students here for this opportunity to meet with you, to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions.The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here. My wife Laura and I have two daughters in college, one at Yale and the other at the University of Texas.We are proud of our daughters just like I am sure your parents are proud of you.

During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce.And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of our two countries have gradually learned more about each other. Once, America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization.Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor.And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world as demonstrated by all the knowledge and potential right here in this room.

China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong, peaceful, and prosperous China. As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country.This happens for many reasons, some of them of our own making.Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know.Our succeful businees show the strength of American commerce, but the community spirit and contributions of those businees are not always as visible as their monetary succe.Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others.My friend, the Ambaador to China, tells me that some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans ``bullying the weak and repreing the poor.\'\' Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to ``repre the working people.\'\' Neither of these is true and while the books may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and harmful.In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the poor and the weak.Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need.American compaion stretches way beyond our borders.We are the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world.As for the men and women of our FBI and law enforcement, they are themselves working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption.

My country certainly has its share of problems and faults; like most nations we\'re on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice.Yet there is a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America. We are a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams.No matter your background or circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, start a busine, raise a family, worship freely and help elect the leaders of your community and country.You can support the policies of our government, or you are free to openly disagree with them.Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself. Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities.Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions and overseen by a strong and fair legal system. My country\'s greatest symbol to the world, the Statue of Liberty, was designed with great care.As you look closely, you will see that she is holding not one object, but two.In one hand is the familiar torch, the light of liberty.In the other is a book of law. We are a Nation of laws.Our courts are honest and independent.The President can\'t tell the courts how to rule and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch.Under our law, everyone stands equal.No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it. All political power in America is limited and temporary, and only given by a free vote of the people.We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the powers of the three branches of our government: judicial, legislative and executive. Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country.American Moms and Dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation.In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character. And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving others.An amazing number nearly half of all adults in America volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children visiting the sick caring for the elderly and helping with a thousand other needs and causes.This is one of the great strengths of my country.People take responsibility for helping others without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith. America is a nation guided by faith.Someone once called us ``a nation with the soul of a church.\'\' Ninety-five percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I\'m one of them.

When I met with President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I told him how faith has shaped my own life, and how faith contributes to the life of my country.Faith points to a moral law beyond man\'s law and calls us to duties higher than material gain.Freedom of religion is not something to be feared but to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and serve others, and to live responsible lives.

If you travel acro America, you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths.We are a varied country.We are home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our biggest companies, serving in my own Cabinet, and skating for America at the Olympics.Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as much an American as the President of the United States.America shows that a society can be vast and varied, and yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people.

All of these qualities of America were vividly displayed on a single day, September 11th, when terrorists attacked America.American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in the desperate hope of saving other lives.Volunteers came from everywhere to help with the rescue efforts.Americans donated blood, and gave money to help the families of victims.People went to prayer services all over America, and raised flags to show their pride and unity.None of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of a free people.

Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law, is not to be feared.In a free society, diversity is not disorder.Debate is not strife.And dient is not revolution.A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatne in themselves and their country. It was my honor to visit China in 1975, and a lot has changed in your country since then.China has made amazing progre in openne, and enterprise, and economic freedom.And this progre previews China\'s great potential. China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they will bring changes in China\'s legal system.A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.

Behind China\'s economic succe today are talented, energetic people.In the near future, these same men and women will play a full and active role in your government.This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens.And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country.They are participants in its future.

Change is coming.China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level.Nearly twenty years ago, Deng Xiaoping said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level and I look forward to that day.

Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths.Regardle of where or how these believers worship, they are no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens.For centuries, this country had a tradition of religious tolerance.My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish.

All of these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create.This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach.

Thank you for letting me here.

胡副主席，非常感谢您的欢迎致辞，非常感谢您在这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。我也看到我的助理赖斯女士，她曾经是斯德莫大学的校长，因此她回到校园是最适合不过的了。非常感谢各位对我的热情的接待，很荣幸能够来到中国，甚至是世界最伟大的一座学府之一，这所大学恰好是在美国的支持下成立的，成立的目标是为了推动我们两国间的关系。我也知道清华这所大学对于副主席先生有着十分重要的意义，他不仅在这里获得了学位，而且是在这里与他优雅的夫人相识的。我想同时，也感谢在座的各位学生给我这个机会跟大家见面，谈一谈我自己的国家，并且回答大家的一些问题。

清华大学的治学标准和名声闻名于世，我也知道能考入这所大学本身是一个很大的成就，祝贺你们。

我和我的太太有两个女儿，像你们一样正在上大学，有一个女儿上的是德州大学，一个女儿上的是耶鲁大学，他们是双胞胎。我们对我们的两个女儿倍感骄傲，我想你们的父母对你们的成就也是同样的引以为荣的。我这次访华恰逢一个重要的周年纪念日，副主席刚才也谈到了，三十年前这一周，一个美国的总统来到了中国，他的访华之旅目的是为了结束长达数十年的隔阂，和长达数百年的相互猜疑，本着相互利益，本着相互尊重的精神站在一起。那天他们离开机场的时候，周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话，他说，你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋，这个海洋就是互不交往的25年。自从那时以来，美国和中国已经握过多次的友谊之手和商业之手。

随着我们两国间接触的日益频繁，我们两国的国民也逐渐地加深了对彼此的了解，这是非常非常重要的。曾经一度，美国人只知道中国是一个历史悠久的一个伟大的国家，有伟大的文明。今天，我们仍然看到中国奉行着重视家庭、学业和荣誉的优良的传统，同时，我们所看到的中国正日益成为世界上一个最富活力和最富创造力的社会之一，这一点最佳的验证便是在座诸位所具备的知识和潜力。中国正走在一个发展的道路上，而美国欢迎一个强大、和平与繁荣的中国的出现。我同美国人在更进一步了解中国的同时，也担心中国人不一定总是能够很清楚地看到我的国家的真实面貌，这里面有多种原因，其中有一些是我们自己造成的。我们的电影，还有电视节目，往往并没有全面反映出美国。我们成功的企业显示了美国商业的力量。但是我们的精神、我们的社区精神，还有我们相互对彼此的贡献往往并不像我们金钱方面的成功那样的显而易见。有一些关于美国错误地描述是别人做出的，我的朋友——美国驻华大使告诉我中国的教科书讲到美国人欺压弱者，压制穷人。另外有一本中国的教科书是去年出版的，书里说美国联邦调查局的特工们被用来压制劳动人民。

这两种说法都是不真实的。这种措辞很可能是过去时代遗留的产物。不过它只会有误导作用，而且是有害的。美国人对保护穷人或者弱者有着特殊的责任感，我们政府每年花费数十亿美元来提供医疗、食品和住房给那些无法自助的人们。

更为重要的是，我们许多的公民主动捐出自己的金钱，自己的时间来帮助有需求的人士。美国的同情心，同时也远远超越了我们自己的国界，在人道主义援助方面，我们居于世界首位，援助世界各地的人们。至于联邦调查局和执法界的工作人员，他们自己就是劳动人民的一员，他们献身于打击犯罪，打击腐败。

我们国家毫无疑问有自己的问题和缺陷，像大部分的国家一样，我们正走在一个漫长的道路上，走向自己理想中的平等和正义。但是我们国家成为一个希望的灯塔是有原因的，世界各地很多人梦想来到美国也是有原因的。我们是自由的国度。在美国无论男女都有机会实现自己的梦想，不论你的背景、家境如何，在美国都可以得到很好的教育，可以创办企业，可以养育子女，可以自由的从事宗教活动，并且可以推选出自己社区和国家的领导人。在美国你可以支持我们政府的政策，同时你也可以公开、毫不掩饰的表示不同的观点。有些人害怕自由，他们会说自有可能会导致混乱，但是实际上并不会这样。因为自由的含义远远超越了人人为己，自由赋予了我们很多的权利，同时要求他们履行重大的责任。

我们的自由因为有道德，所以是一种由方向、有目的的自由，我们的自由在稳固的家庭中，在稳固的社区中，在强大的宗教中得到熏陶，同时也有法律监督。

我的国家最伟大的象征就是自由女神像，我不知道大家是不是看过她，她是经过精心设计的，她手里拿的是两件东西，而不是一件，其中一件拿的是大家比较熟悉的火炬，是自由之光，另一个手上拿的是法典。我们美国是一个自由的国家，每一个法律都是独立的。我是总统也无法干预法庭怎么判案，政府的行政部门还有立法部门中的任何人也不能。根据我们的法律每一个人都是平等的，没有任何一个人游离于法律之外。在美国，所有的政治权利都受到限制，使人民通过自由投票授予了这些权利。我们有一部宪法，已经有二百年的历史，它限制并且平衡三个部门之间的权利，这三个部门就是司法、立法和行政机构，我是行政机构的一员。

指导我们的很多的价值观是在家庭中陶冶形成的，就像在中国一样，美国的妈妈们，爸爸们疼爱他们的孩子，为他们辛勤地劳动，作出牺牲，因为我们相信，下一代的生活总会更好，在我们的家庭中，我们可以找到关爱，可以学习如何负起责任，如何陶冶人格。

很多美国人都抽出时间为其他人服务，成年中的一半人每周都拿出时间，使得他们的社区办得更好，他们辅导儿童，探访病人，照顾老人，并且帮助做许许多多数不胜数的事情。这就是我的国家的一大优点。我们主动承担起责任，帮助他们，他们的原动力就是善良的心，还有他们的信仰。

如果你去美国旅行的话，你会见到来自不同种族背景，有着不同信仰的人。我们是一个多元化、多姿多彩的国家，在那里有230万华人，他们在那里繁衍生息。在我们大公司的办公室里有华人工作，在美国政府中有华人工作，在奥林匹克比赛中代表美国参加滑冰比赛的也有华人。

诸位，重视个人和家庭责任的古老道德传统将使诸位受益匪浅。在中国如今经济成功的背后，有着有活力的人才。在不久的将来，这些人无论是男是女，将在这个政府中发挥积极和全面的作用。清华大学它不仅在培养专家，它也是在培育公民。公民在他们国家的事务中不是袖手旁观者，他们是建设未来的参与者。

所有的这些变化，将导致中国更加强大，更加有自信，这个中国将使世界瞩目，也使世界更加丰富。这个中国就是诸位这一代人所帮助创立的中国，现在在中国的历史上是一个非常令人振奋的时刻。此时此刻，就连最宏伟的梦想也似乎唾手可得。

我的国度，对中国提出尊敬和友谊，再过六年，来自美国和世界的运动员将到贵国来参加奥林匹克比赛，我坚信，他们能够见到的中国将是正在变成一个大国的中国，一个走在世界前沿的国家，一个与其人民无争，与世界和平相处的中国。

谢谢诸位让我来此演讲。

第18篇：美国总统布什911演讲

美国总统布什于华盛顿时间9月20日晚上9:00（北京时间9月21日早上9:00）在国会参众两院联席会议上向全国民众发表电视演讲。以下是演讲的全文：

众议院议长、参议院临时议长、国会全体议员以及美国民众：

你们好！

在正常情况下，总统来到这个地方是为了发表国情咨文，然而这样的国情咨文今天晚上已经没有必要了，因为美国人民为了美国已经发出了他们的呐喊。

我们在被劫飞机乘客的英勇行动中看到了这一切，他们奋不顾身地与恐怖分子展开争斗，目的是为了拯救地面上的我们。他们当中就有一个叫泰德·毕默的勇士。今晚在这儿，请允许我向他的妻子莉莎致意。

我们在救援人员的顽强和不知疲倦的工作中看到了美国人民的这种精神；我们看到了飘扬的旗帜、燃烧的烛光、献血的民众以及祈祷中的人们，无论他们是用英语、希伯来语还是阿拉伯语在为美国祈祷。我们看到了民众相互关爱，无私捐助，他们把陌生人的悲痛当成自己的痛苦。

我的同胞们，在过去九天的时间内，整个世界都目睹了美国的情况——它依然强大。

今天晚上，我们的国家由于威胁而惊醒，我们的民众被唤起捍卫自由。悲痛已经化为愤怒，愤怒已经变成决心。我们要将敌人绳之以法，正义终将被伸张。

感谢国会在这样一个重要时刻做出的表率作用。所有被这场悲剧震惊的美国人民已经看到，共和党人和民主党人共聚国会山，共唱国歌“上帝保佑美利坚”。而你们，我的国会议员们，你们做出了更多。你们在行动，你们让国会通过了400亿美元的紧急拨款，以重建我们的家园和满足军队的需要。

（众议院）议长哈斯塔德，（众议院）少数党领袖格普哈特，（参议院）多数党领袖达施勒和（参议院）少数党领袖洛特，感谢你们的鼎立相助、你们的领导和你们对国家的贡献。

我代表美国人民感谢世界各地提供给美国的支持。美国人民永远不会忘记，我们的国歌在白金汉宫，在巴黎街道，在柏林勃兰登堡奏响。美国人民永远不会忘记，韩国儿童聚集在汉城的美国大使馆前面低声祈祷。美国人民也不会忘记开罗一座清真寺里传出的同情之声。美国人民当然也不会忘记，几天来，澳大利亚、非洲和拉丁美洲举行的纪念或者默哀活动。

我们同样不会忘记与美国民众一起遇难的来自80个国家的人民，其中有几十名巴基斯坦人，130多名以色列人，250多名印度人，还有来自萨尔瓦多、伊朗、墨西哥和日本的男男女女，以及来自英国的数百民众。美国人民再也找不到比英国更好的朋友了。美国和英国又一次团结起来，为了一个伟大的事业而奋斗。英国首相布莱尔从大洋彼岸赶过来，以显示他与美国人民的团结一致，我们感谢布莱尔首相的到来。

9月11日，自由的敌人对我们国家发动了一场战争。美国人民早就领教过战争，然而除了1941年那个星期天发生的（珍珠港）事件外，过去136年间发生的战争都是在外国领土上进行的；美国人民也早已知道战争的伤亡——但那些伤亡都不是在一个平和的早上，在一个伟大的城市发生的；美国人民也曾经遭受过袭击——但是袭击事件从来没有针对数以千计的平民。所有这一切都在一天之内发生了，接下来就是黑夜，整个自由世界正遭到威胁。

今晚，美国民众都有很多疑问，他们都在问，究竟是谁袭击了我们的国家？

我们现在所搜集到的证据都指向了一个松散的恐怖主义组织——阿尔-凯达（al-Qaida），他们也是袭击美国驻坦桑尼亚和肯尼亚大使馆的罪魁祸首，而且他们也应对美国驱逐舰“科尔”号爆炸案负责。

阿尔-凯达之于恐怖主义，就像黑手党之于犯罪一样。他们的目标不是为了钱，而是为了重新改造世界，是为了把他们的极端教义散播给世界各地的人们。

这些伊斯兰极端主义学说早就被穆斯林学者和大部分穆斯林所抛弃，然而这些恐怖分子却将其奉为神明，并肆意曲解倡导和平的伊斯兰教义。恐怖分子的理论就是要把所有的基督教徒杀死，要把所有的美国人杀死，不管是军人还是平民，也不管是妇女还是小孩。

这个恐怖组织和他的首领本·拉登同世界许多国家的组织有着千丝万缕的联系，其中包括埃及伊斯兰组织吉哈德和乌兹别克斯坦的伊斯兰运动组织。

这样的恐怖分子成百上千，广泛分布在世界60多个国家。他们从自己的国家和邻国招募成员，带到像阿富汗之类的国家接收恐怖训练，然后被派回自己的国家或者隐藏在别的国家，策划罪恶的勾当和进行破坏。

阿尔-凯达在阿富汗有着深厚的影响，他们支持塔利班控制了阿富汗大部分地区。这些恐怖分子在阿富汗的行动让我们窥见了阿尔-凯达这个恐怖组织的嘴脸。

他们使阿富汗人民遭受了沉重苦难——许多人被饿死，许多人被迫逃离家园；妇女不能上学，拥有一台电视就可能把你打入牢狱；所有的宗教信仰只能按照领袖的命令行事；要是一个人的胡子不够长，他就有可能被逮捕。

美国人民尊重阿富汗人民——毕竟，美国是阿富汗最大的人道主义援助国，但是我们谴责塔利班政权。它不仅没有尊重自己的民众，而且通过支持、庇护和帮助恐怖分子，把自己的人民吓得惊恐不已，四处躲避。通过资助和煽动恐怖分子搞谋杀，塔利班政权自己也在搞谋杀。今晚，美利坚合众国向塔利班提出如下要求：

把阿富汗境内所有的阿尔-凯达成员及其领导人交给美国政府；释放所有非法关押的外国人员，其中包括美国人。保护外国记者、外交官员以及救援人员；立即和永远关闭恐怖分子的训练营地，把恐怖分子悉数交给有关方面；让美国自由进入恐怖分子训练营地，确保这些营地不再被使用。

所有这些要求都是不容谈判的，是没有商量余地的。塔利班政权必须执行，必须马上执行。他们应该交出恐怖分子，否则恐怖分子的下场就是塔利班的下场。

今天晚上，我还想直接对世界各地的穆斯林讲一句话：我们尊重你们的信仰。在美国，有数百万民众自由地信奉伊斯兰教，而美国的友邦中则有更多的人信仰伊斯兰教。伊斯兰教义是好的，是推崇和平的。那些借真主之名犯罪的人亵渎了真主的神圣。我们的穆斯林朋友和阿拉伯朋友不是美国的敌人。我们的敌人是一个恐怖主义极端组织以及任何一个支持这种组织的政府。

我们反恐怖主义的斗争将从打击阿尔-凯达开始，但不会在阿尔-凯达身上结束。我们将继续战斗，直到世界各地的恐怖主义组织被发现、阻止和彻底击败，否则我们就不会停止。

美国人民或许在问：他们为什么要仇恨我们？

因为他们仇恨我们这间大厦里的一切——我们是一个经过民主选举的政府，而他们的领导人则是指定的。他们还仇恨我们的自由——我们的宗教自由、言论自由、选举自由、集会自由，拥有反对意见的自由等。

这些恐怖分子妄图推翻许多穆斯林国家的现有政府，比如埃及、沙特阿拉伯和约旦。他们要把以色列人赶出中东，要把基督教徒和犹太教徒从亚洲和非洲的广大地区赶出去。

这些恐怖分子肆意屠杀不仅仅是为了结束生命，而是想打乱和终止一种生活方式。他们之所以一次次地制造暴行，就是希望使美国成为一个弥漫着恐惧的国家，从世界舞台上退却下来，并抛弃自己的朋友。他们打击美国，只是因为我们挡住了他们的道路。

我们没有被他们虚伪的宗教虔诚欺骗，我们以前也曾看见过他们所谓的善行，他们只不过是20世纪一些臭名昭著的理论指导下的残渣余孽。通过牺牲献出生命来实现他们极端的思想，通过抛弃一切价值观念唯独相信权利的欲望，他们所走的道路与法西斯、纳粹主义和极端主义如出一辙。他们会沿着这条道路走下去，直到这条路的终点：被遗弃的谎言筑成的历史无名冢。

美国人民都在问：我们怎样去发动这场战争，怎样赢得这场战争呢？

我们必须动用所有的资源——所有的外交途径、所有的情报机构、所有的执法机关、所有的金融影响以及所有的战争武器——以瓦解和击败全球恐怖主义犯罪组织。

这场战争不像十年前打击伊拉克一样，那时我们的目标就是解放（科威特）被占领土，迅速结束战争。这场战争也不像两年前在科索沃进行的战争一样，那时我们没有地面部队参战，没有一个美国人丧生。

除了立即报复和单纯的军事打击外，我们要做的事情还有很多。美国人民不应该期望只进行一次战役，这将是一场长期的战争，一场我们从来没有经历过的战争。它可能包括一些大规模的打击，这一点你们将在电视上看见；它还可能包括一些秘密的行动计划，即便是成功你们也可能不知道。我们要切断恐怖分子的资金来源，使他们反目成仇、互相争斗，把他们赶得四处逃散，没有藏身之地。世界各个地区的每个国家，你们现在处在一个抉择的时刻，你们要么和我们站在一起，要么和恐怖分子同流合污。从今天开始，美国将把任何继续庇护和支持恐怖主义的国家看作是敌对国家。

我们已经向民众做出告诫，我们仍有可能遭到袭击。我们将采取防御性措施，打击恐怖主义，保卫美国民众。

今天，联邦政府数十个部门和办事处，与各州以及各地区的政府部门，都有保卫国家安全的义不容辞的义务。这些工作都必须由一个最高机构来协调。所以，今天晚上，我宣布成立直接向我负责的内阁级别机构——祖国安全办公室（Office Of Homeland Security）。

这些措施都是最基本的。但是，防止恐怖主义对我们生命构成威胁的唯一办法是在它滋长起来的地方制止它，消除它，毁灭它。

很多人将会为这些行动而努力，从联邦调查局到情报部门，再到我们后备役军人。我们应当感谢他们，为他们祈祷。今天晚上，就在离遭袭的五角大楼数英里的此地，我要对我们的军队说：做好准备。我要求军队时刻待命当然是有原因的。当美国行动的那一刻到来时，我们将为你们而自豪！

然而这不仅仅是美国的斗争，危在旦夕的也不仅仅是美国的自由，这是整个世界的斗争，这是整个人类文明的斗争，这是所有相信进步和多元论、相信宽容和自由的人们的斗争。

我们要求每一个国家都加入我们。我们会要求，而且我们也需要全世界的警察、情报机构、银行系统来帮助我们。美国十分感激，很多国家和国际机构已经做出了回应——表达同情和支持，这些国家遍布世界各地，从拉美、亚洲、非洲到欧洲，再到伊斯兰世界。也许北约宪章（NATO Charter）最准确地反映了国际社会的态度：攻击一个就是攻击我们大家。

文明的社会都站在美国这一边。他们明白，如果恐怖主义不受惩罚，那么他们的城市和他们的民众可能就是下一个目标。毫无疑问，恐怖主义不仅仅会袭击大楼，还会威胁合法政府的稳定。我们不会允许他们这样做。

美国人民或许在问：我们应该做些什么呢？

我要求你们活着，拥抱你们的孩子。我知道很多民众今晚都感到恐怖，我请求你们镇定，意志坚决，即使是威胁仍然存在。

我要求你们弘扬美国的价值观念，记住为什么那么多人来到这儿。我们是在为原则而战，我们首要的责任是依靠这些原则生存下去，任何人都不能因为他们的种族和宗教信仰而遭受不公平的对待和不友好的指责。

我希望你们用你们所有，继续支持灾难中的受害者。那些想要捐助的人们可以登陆到网站libertyunites.org，去查找一下在纽约、宾夕法尼亚和弗吉尼亚提供直接帮助的机构的名称。

成千上万正在工作的联邦调查局职员们也需要你们的帮助，我希望你们也能够帮助他们。

我也希望你们在由于加强安全而导致的各种延误和诸多不便中保持耐心，在可能会长期进行的斗争中保持耐心。

我还希望你们继续投入国家建设，对经济前景充满信心。恐怖主义只是袭击了美国繁荣的一个小的标志而已，他们不会触及到美国繁荣的根源。美国之所以成功，就是因为他们人民的勤奋、创造力和进取心。这些都是我们在9月11日以前真正的经济实力，也是我们今天的力量。

最后，请为我们在恐怖中的受害者及其家人祈祷，为消防员、警察、战士们祈祷，为我们伟大的祖国祈祷。祈祷将会抚平我们的伤痛，为我们未来的行程鼓足士气。

今天晚上，我感谢所有的美国人，感谢你们为国家所作的一切和将要做的一切。国会各位女士和先生们，我也感谢你们，感谢你们为国家所作的一切和将要做的一切。

今天晚上，我们国家面临新的、突如其来的挑战。我们要一起加强在航空方面的安全，大规模地增加国内航班安全检查人员的数量，制订新的措施阻止劫机事件的发生。

我们要加强我们的执法力度，授予执法机关所需的一切，彻底打击国内的一切恐怖活动。我们还要强化我们的情报机关，以便及时截获恐怖分子的信息，将他们的恐怖活动扼杀在摇篮中。

我们要团结一致，积极采取有关步骤，增强美国的经济，使人们恢复工作。

今天晚上，我们看到的这两位就是在这次事件当中表现得相当出色的领导者：纽约市长鲁道夫·朱利安尼和纽约州州长乔治·保陶基。作为美国决心的象征，我的内阁将与国会和这两位领导人加强合作，向世人展示，我们要重建纽约。

在这一切发生之后，在所有损失发生之后，大家也许会问，美国的前途究竟会怎么样？是不是会生活在恐惧当中？我知道，前面依然有挑战，未来依然有危险。但是我们的国家将书写我们的时代，而不是时代来书写国家。只要美国国家和民众有坚定的信念，我们将不会受到恐怖主义的打击，因为这不是恐怖主义活动的年代，这是一个自由的年代，无论是这儿还是在世界任何地方。

我们在这次事件当中受到了严重的损害和损失。在悲痛和愤怒当中，我们找到了自己的使命，意识到所处的时刻。自由将和恐惧交战。人类自由事业的前进——我们这个时代的伟大成就，同时也是任何时代人们的伟大追求——就指望我们了。我们的国家——我们这代人——为了我们的人民和我们的光明未来，一定要将暴力恐怖的黑暗和威胁驱散。我们不会累，我们不会泄气，我们更不会失败。

在接下来的几个月和几年内，人们的生活能够恢复正常是我的希望。我们将重新恢复我们的正常生活，这是人人都渴望以求的。随着时间的推移，悲伤会渐渐过去。但是我们打击恐怖主义的决心必将持续下去。我们每个人都会记得那一天、那一时刻发生的事情，以及谁在那一时刻永远地离我们而去。我们会记得那个恐怖消息来临的时刻，我们当时在哪儿，我们又正在干什么。我们中的一些人会记得那个着火的场面，或者一则营救的消息。而某个永远离我们而去的面孔和声音将永远凝固在一些人的脑海中。

而我将会永远保留这个纪念品，它是一位名叫乔治·霍华德的曼哈顿警察留下的警徽，而霍华德却在抢救世贸大厦遇难人员时永远离我们而去。他的母亲阿琳娜将它作为对儿子的骄傲的记忆给了我。这个警徽时刻提醒我，一个生命就这样结束了，而我们的事业将要继续下去。

我不会忘记这次袭击给我们国家造成的创伤，也不会忘记是谁造成的创伤。我将不会屈服——我不会停滞——我不会在这场关系到美国人民自由和安全的斗争中有一念之仁。

这场斗争的道路还不明朗，但是它的结局是肯定的。自由和恐惧，公正和残酷，自古以来就针锋相对，并且我们知道，“上帝”在两者中是会有所取舍的。

同胞们，我们必须要以忍耐、公正来对付恐怖活动，我们对我们事业的正义性和将要取得的胜利充满信心。展望未来，愿上帝赐予我们智慧，保佑美利坚合众国。

谢谢！

附：英文全文

Addre to a Joint Seion of Congre and the American People

United States Capitol

Washington, D.C.

9:00 P.M.EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Mr.Speaker, Mr.President Pro Tempore, members of Congre, and fellow Americans:

In the normal course of events, Presidents come to this chamber to report on the state of the Union.Tonight, no such report is needed.It has already been delivered by the American people.

We have seen it in the courage of paengers, who rushed terrorists to save others on the ground -- paengers like an exceptional man named Todd Beamer.And would you please help me to welcome his wife, Lisa Beamer, here tonight.(Applause.)

We have seen the state of our Union in the endurance of rescuers, working past exhaustion.We have seen the unfurling of flags, the lighting of candles, the giving of blood, the saying of prayers -- in English, Hebrew, and Arabic.We have seen the decency of a loving and giving people who have made the grief of strangers their own.

My fellow citizens, for the last nine days, the entire world has seen for itself the state of our Union -- and it is strong.(Applause.)

Tonight we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom.Our grief has turned to anger, and anger to resolution.Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done.(Applause.)

I thank the Congre for its leadership at such an important time.All of America was touched on the evening of the tragedy to see Republicans and Democrats joined together on the steps of this Capitol, singing \"God Ble America.\" And you did more than sing; you acted, by delivering $40 billion to rebuild our communities and meet the needs of our military.

Speaker Hastert, Minority Leader Gephardt, Majority Leader Daschle and Senator Lott, I thank you for your friendship, for your leadership and for your service to our country.(Applause.)

And on behalf of the American people, I thank the world for its outpouring of support.America will never forget the sounds of our National Anthem playing at Buckingham Palace, on the streets of Paris, and at Berlin\'s Brandenburg Gate.

We will not forget South Korean children gathering to pray outside our embay in Seoul, or the prayers of sympathy offered at a mosque in Cairo.We will not forget moments of silence and days of mourning in Australia and Africa and Latin America.

Nor will we forget the citizens of 80 other nations who died with our own: dozens of Pakistanis; more than 130 Israelis; more than 250 citizens of India; men and women from El Salvador, Iran, Mexico and Japan; and hundreds of British citizens.America has no truer friend than Great Britain.(Applause.) Once again, we are joined together in a great cause -- so honored the British Prime Minister has croed an ocean to show his unity of purpose with America.Thank you for coming, friend.(Applause.)

On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country.Americans have known wars -- but for the past 136 years, they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one Sunday in 1941.Americans have known the casualties of war -- but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning.Americans have known surprise attacks -- but never before on thousands of civilians.All of this was brought upon us in a single day -- and night fell on a different world, a world where freedom itself is under attack.

Americans have many questions tonight.Americans are asking: Who attacked our country? The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al Qaeda.They are the same murderers indicted for bombing American embaies in Tanzania and Kenya, and responsible for bombing the USS Cole.

Al Qaeda is to terror what the mafia is to crime.But its goal is not making money; its goal is remaking the world -- and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere. The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics -- a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam.The terrorists\' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinction among military and civilians, including women and children.

This group and its leader -- a person named Osama bin Laden -- are linked to many other organizations in different countries, including the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.There are thousands of these terrorists in more than 60 countries.They are recruited from their own nations and neighborhoods and brought to camps in places like Afghanistan, where they are trained in the tactics of terror.They are sent back to their homes or sent to hide in countries around the world to plot evil and destruction.

The leadership of al Qaeda has great influence in Afghanistan and supports the Taliban regime in controlling most of that country.In Afghanistan, we see al Qaeda\'s vision for the world.

Afghanistan\'s people have been brutalized -- many are starving and many have fled.Women are not allowed to attend school.You can be jailed for owning a television.Religion can be practiced only as their leaders dictate.A man can be jailed in Afghanistan if his beard is not long enough.

The United States respects the people of Afghanistan -- after all, we are currently its largest source of humanitarian aid -- but we condemn the Taliban regime.(Applause.) It is not only repreing its own people, it is threatening people everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and supplying terrorists.By aiding and abetting murder, the Taliban regime is committing murder.

And tonight, the United States of America makes the following demands on the Taliban: Deliver to United States authorities all the leaders of al Qaeda who hide in your land.(Applause.) Release all foreign nationals, including American citizens, you have unjustly imprisoned.Protect foreign journalists, diplomats and aid workers in your country.Close immediately and permanently every terrorist training camp in Afghanistan, and hand over every terrorist, and every person in their support structure, to appropriate authorities.(Applause.) Give the United States full acce to terrorist training camps, so we can make sure they are no longer operating.

These demands are not open to negotiation or discuion.(Applause.) The Taliban must act, and act immediately.They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate.

I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world.We respect your faith.It\'s practiced freely by many millions of Americans, and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends.Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah.(Applause.) The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself.The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends.Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them.(Applause.)

Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there.It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.(Applause.)

Americans are asking, why do they hate us? They hate what we see right here in this chamber -- a democratically elected government.Their leaders are self-appointed.They hate our freedoms -- our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and aemble and disagree with each other.

They want to overthrow existing governments in many Muslim countries, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East.They want to drive Christians and Jews out of vast regions of Asia and Africa.

These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life.With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends.They stand against us, because we stand in their way.

We are not deceived by their pretenses to piety.We have seen their kind before.They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century.By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions -- by abandoning every value except the will to power -- they follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism.And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history\'s unmarked grave of discarded lies.(Applause.)

Americans are asking: How will we fight and win this war? We will direct every resource at our command -- every means of diplomacy, every tool of intelligence, every instrument of law enforcement, every financial influence, and every neceary weapon of war -- to the disruption and to the defeat of the global terror network.

This war will not be like the war against Iraq a decade ago, with a decisive liberation of territory and a swift conclusion.It will not look like the air war above Kosovo two years ago, where no ground troops were used and not a single American was lost in combat.

Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes.Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen.It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in succe.We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest.And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism.Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make.Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.(Applause.) From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.

Our nation has been put on notice: We are not immune from attack.We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans.Today, dozens of federal departments and agencies, as well as state and local governments, have responsibilities affecting homeland security.These efforts must be coordinated at the highest level.So tonight I announce the creation of a Cabinet-level position reporting directly to me -- the Office of Homeland Security.

And tonight I also announce a distinguished American to lead this effort, to strengthen American security: a military veteran, an effective governor, a true patriot, a trusted friend -- Pennsylvania\'s Tom Ridge.(Applause.) He will lead, oversee and coordinate a comprehensive national strategy to safeguard our country against terrorism, and respond to any attacks that may come.

These measures are eential.But the only way to defeat terrorism as a threat to our way of life is to stop it, eliminate it, and destroy it where it grows.(Applause.)

Many will be involved in this effort, from FBI agents to intelligence operatives to the reservists we have called to active duty.All deserve our thanks, and all have our prayers.And tonight, a few miles from the damaged Pentagon, I have a meage for our military: Be ready.I\'ve called the Armed Forces to alert, and there is a reason.The hour is coming when America will act, and you will make us proud.(Applause.)

This is not, however, just America\'s fight.And what is at stake is not just America\'s freedom.This is the world\'s fight.This is civilization\'s fight.This is the fight of all who believe in progre and pluralism, tolerance and freedom.

We ask every nation to join us.We will ask, and we will need, the help of police forces, intelligence services, and banking systems around the world.The United States is grateful that many nations and many international organizations have already responded -- with sympathy and with support.Nations from Latin America, to Asia, to Africa, to Europe, to the Islamic world.Perhaps the NATO Charter reflects best the attitude of the world: An attack on one is an attack on all.

The civilized world is rallying to America\'s side.They understand that if this terror goes unpunished, their own cities, their own citizens may be next.Terror, unanswered, can not only bring down buildings, it can threaten the stability of legitimate governments.And you know what -- we\'re not going to allow it.(Applause.)

Americans are asking: What is expected of us? I ask you to live your lives, and hug your children.I know many citizens have fears tonight, and I ask you to be calm and resolute, even in the face of a continuing threat.

I ask you to uphold the values of America, and remember why so many have come here.We are in a fight for our principles, and our first responsibility is to live by them.No one should be singled out for unfair treatment or unkind words because of their ethnic background or religious faith.(Applause.)

I ask you to continue to support the victims of this tragedy with your contributions.Those who want to give can go to a central source of information, libertyunites.org, to find the names of groups providing direct help in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The thousands of FBI agents who are now at work in this investigation may need your cooperation, and I ask you to give it.

I ask for your patience, with the delays and inconveniences that may accompany tighter security; and for your patience in what will be a long struggle.

I ask your continued participation and confidence in the American economy.Terrorists attacked a symbol of American prosperity.They did not touch its source.America is succeful because of the hard work, and creativity, and enterprise of our people.These were the true strengths of our economy before September 11th, and they are our strengths today.(Applause.)

And, finally, please continue praying for the victims of terror and their families, for those in uniform, and for our great country.Prayer has comforted us in sorrow, and will help strengthen us for the journey ahead.

Tonight I thank my fellow Americans for what you have already done and for what you will do.And ladies and gentlemen of the Congre, I thank you, their representatives, for what you have already done and for what we will do together.

Tonight, we face new and sudden national challenges.We will come together to improve air safety, to dramatically expand the number of air marshals on domestic flights, and take new measures to prevent hijacking.We will come together to promote stability and keep our airlines flying, with direct aistance during this emergency.(Applause.)

We will come together to give law enforcement the additional tools it needs to track down terror here at home.(Applause.) We will come together to strengthen our intelligence capabilities to know the plans of terrorists before they act, and find them before they strike.(Applause.)

We will come together to take active steps that strengthen America\'s economy, and put our people back to work.

Tonight we welcome two leaders who embody the extraordinary spirit of all New Yorkers: Governor George Pataki, and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.(Applause.) As a symbol of America\'s resolve, my administration will work with Congre, and these two leaders, to show the world that we will rebuild New York City.(Applause.)

After all that has just paed -- all the lives taken, and all the poibilities and hopes that died with them -- it is natural to wonder if America\'s future is one of fear.Some speak of an age of terror.I know there are struggles ahead, and dangers to face.But this country will define our times, not be defined by them.As long as the United States of America is determined and strong, this will not be an age of terror; this will be an age of liberty, here and acro the world.(Applause.)

Great harm has been done to us.We have suffered great lo.And in our grief and anger we have found our miion and our moment.Freedom and fear are at war.The advance of human freedom -- the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time -- now depends on us.Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future.We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage.We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.(Applause.)

It is my hope that in the months and years ahead, life will return almost to normal.We\'ll go back to our lives and routines, and that is good.Even grief recedes with time and grace.But our resolve must not pa.Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened.We\'ll remember the moment the news came -- where we were and what we were doing.Some will remember an image of a fire, or a story of rescue.Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever.

And I will carry this: It is the police shield of a man named George Howard, who died at the World Trade Center trying to save others.It was given to me by his mom, Arlene, as a proud memorial to her son.This is my reminder of lives that ended, and a task that does not end.(Applause.)

I will not forget this wound to our country or those who inflicted it.I will not yield; I will not rest; I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people.

The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain.Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.(Applause.)

Fellow citizens, we\'ll meet violence with patient justice -- aured of the rightne of our cause, and confident of the victories to come.In all that lies before us, may God grant us wisdom, and may He watch over the United States of America.

Thank you.

President Bush Speaks at Tsinghua University

Tsinghua University Beijing, People\'s Republic of China

10:35 A.M.(Local)

PRESIDENT BUSH: Vice President Hu, thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks.Thank you for welcoming me and my wife, Laura, here.(Applause.) I see she\'s keeping pretty good company, with the Secretary of State, Colin Powell.It\'s good to see you, Mr.Secretary.(Applause.) And I see my National Security Advisor, Ms.Condoleezza Rice, who at one time was the provost at Stanford University.So she\'s comfortable on university campuses such as this.Thank you for being here, Condi.(Applause.) I\'m so grateful for the hospitality, and honored for the reception at one of China\'s, and the world\'s, great universities. This university was founded, interestingly enough, with the support of my country, to further ties between our two nations.I know how important this place is to your Vice President.He not only received his degree here, but more importantly, he met his gracious wife here.(Laughter.) I want to thank the students for giving me the chance to meet with you, the chance to talk a little bit about my country and answer some of your questions.The standards and reputation of this university are known around the world, and I know what an achievement it is to be here.So, congratulations.(Applause.) I don\'t know if you know this or not, but my wife and I have two daughters who are in college, just like you.One goes to the University of Texas.One goes to Yale.They\'re twins.And we are proud of our daughters, just like I\'m sure your parents are proud of you. My visit to China comes on an important anniversary, as the Vice President mentioned.Thirty years ago this week, an American President arrived in China on a trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion.President Richard Nixon showed the world that two vastly different governments could meet on the grounds of common interest, in the spirit of mutual respect.As they left the airport that day, Premier Zhou Enlai said this to President Nixon: \"Your handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world -- 25 years of no communication.\" During the 30 years since, America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce.And as we have had more contact with each other, the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other.; And that\'s important.Once America knew China only by its history as a great and enduring civilization.Today, we see a China that is still defined by noble traditions of family, scholarship, and honor.And we see a China that is becoming one of the most dynamic and creative societies in the world -- as demonstrated by the knowledge and potential right here in this room.China is on a rising path, and America welcomes the emergence of a strong and peaceful and prosperous China.(Applause.) As America learns more about China, I am concerned that the Chinese people do not always see a clear picture of my country.This happens for many reasons, and some of them of our own making.Our movies and television shows often do not portray the values of the real America I know.Our succeful businees show a strength of American commerce, but our spirit, community spirit, and contributions to each other are not always visible as monetary succe. Some of the erroneous pictures of America are painted by others.My friend, the Ambaador to China, tells me some Chinese textbooks talk of Americans of \"bullying the weak and repreing the poor.\" Another Chinese textbook, published just last year, teaches that special agents of the FBI are used to \"repre the working people.\" Now, neither of these is true -- and while the words may be leftovers from a previous era, they are misleading and they\'re harmful. In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the weak and the poor.Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves -- and even more important, many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need.American compaion also stretches way beyond our borders.We\'re the number one provider of humanitarian aid to people in need throughout the world.And as for the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement, they\'re working people; they, themselves, are working people who devote their lives to fighting crime and corruption. My country certainly has its share of problems, no question about that.And we have our faults.Like most nations we\'re on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice.Yet there\'s a reason our nation shines as a beacon of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America.It\'s because we\'re a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams.No matter your background or your circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, you can start your own busine, you can raise a family, you can worship freely, and help elect the leaders of your community and your country.You can support the policies of our government, or you\'re free to openly disagree with them.Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself. Liberty gives our citizens many rights, yet expects them to exercise important responsibilities.Our liberty is given direction and purpose by moral character, shaped in strong families, strong communities, and strong religious institutions, and overseen by a strong and fair legal system.

We\'re a nation of laws.Our courts are honest and they are independent.The President -- me -- I can\'t tell the courts how to rule, and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch of government.Under our law, everyone stands equal.No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it. All political power in America is limited and it is temporary, and only given by the free vote of the people.We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the power of the three branches of our government, the judicial branch, the legislative branch, and the executive branch, of which I\'m a part. Many of the values that guide our life in America are first shaped in our families, just as they are in your country.American moms and dads love their children and work hard and sacrifice for them, because we believe life can always be better for the next generation.In our families, we find love and learn responsibility and character. And many Americans voluntarily devote part of their lives to serving other people.An amazing number -- nearly half of all adults in America -- volunteer time every week to make their communities better by mentoring children, or by visiting the sick, or caring for the elderly, or helping with thousands of other needs and causes.This is one of the great strengths of my country.People take responsibility for helping others, without being told, motivated by their good hearts and often by their faith. America is a nation guided by faith.Someone once called us \"a nation with the soul of a church.\" This may interest you -- 95 percent of Americans say they believe in God, and I\'m one of them. When I met President Jiang Zemin in Shanghai a few months ago, I had the honor of sharing with him how faith changed my life and how faith contributes to the life of my country.Faith points to a moral law beyond man\'s law, and calls us to duties higher than material gain.Freedom of religion is not something to be feared, it\'s to be welcomed, because faith gives us a moral core and teaches us to hold ourselves to high standards, to love and to serve others, and to live responsible lives. If you travel acro America -- and I hope you do some day if you haven\'t been there -- you will find people of many different ethic backgrounds and many different faiths.We\'re a varied nation.We\'re home to 2.3 million Americans of Chinese ancestry, who can be found working in the offices of our corporations, or in the Cabinet of the President of the United States, or skating for the America Olympic team.Every immigrant, by taking an oath of allegiance to our country, becomes just as just as American as the President.America shows that a society can be vast and it can be varied, yet still one country, commanding the allegiance and love of its people. And all these qualities of America were widely on display on a single day, September the 11th, the day when terrorists, murderers, attacked my nation.American policemen and firefighters, by the hundreds, ran into burning towers in desperation to save their fellow citizens.Volunteers came from everywhere to help with rescue efforts.Americans donated blood and gave money to help the families of victims.America had prayer services all over our country, and people raised flags to show their pride and unity.And you need to know, none of this was ordered by the government; it happened spontaneously, by the initiative of free people. Life in America shows that liberty, paired with law is not to be feared.In a free society, diversity is not disorder.Debate is not strife.And dient is not revolution.A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatne in themselves and their country. It was my honor to visit China in 1975 -- some of you weren\'t even born then.It shows how old I am.(Laughter.) And a lot has changed in your country since then.China has made amazing progre -- in openne and enterprise and economic freedom.And this progre previews China\'a great potential. China has joined the World Trade Organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to China\'s legal system.A modern China will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.The new China your generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions.The lure of materialism challenges our society -- challenges society in our country, and in many succeful countries.Your ancient ethic of personal and family responsibility will serve you well. Behind China\'s economic succe today are talented, brilliant and energetic people.In the near future, those same men and women will play a full and active role in your government.This university is not simply turning out specialists, it is preparing citizens.And citizens are not spectators in the affairs of their country.They are participa nts in its future. Change is coming.China is already having secret ballot and competitive elections at the local level.Nearly 20 years ago, a great Chinese leader, Deng Xiaoping, said this -- I want you to hear his words.He said that China would eventually expand democratic elections all the way to the national level.I look forward to that day. Tens of millions of Chinese today are relearning Buddhist, Taoist, and local religious traditions, or practicing Christianity, Islam, and other faiths.Regardle of where or how these believers worship, they\'re no threat to public order; in fact, they make good citizens.For centuries, this country has had a tradition of religious tolerance.My prayer is that all persecution will end, so that all in China are free to gather and worship as they wish. All these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident China -- a China that can astonish and enrich the world, a China that your generation will help create.This is one of the most exciting times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem within your reach. My nation offers you our respect and our friendship.Six years from now, athletes from America and around the world will come to your country for the Olympic games.And I\'m confident they will find a China that is becoming a da guo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.

Thank you for letting me come.(Applause.)

Statue of Liberty, and it was designed by special care.I don\'t know if you\'ve ever seen the Statue of Liberty, but if you look closely, she\'s holding not one object, but two.In one hand is the familiar torch we call the \"light of liberty.\" And in the other hand is a book of law.We\'re a nation of laws.Our courts are honest and they are independent.The President -- me -- I can\'t tell the
