President Bush Speaks at Basic bat Training Graduation Ceremony - 英語演講

November 2, 20

THE PRESIDENT: Colonel, thank you very much. I'm pleased to be here with you and to have a chance to say: "Hoo-ah!"

AUDIENCE: Hoo-ah!

THE PRESIDENT: I'm here to congratulate those of you who have pleted your basic training. I thank -- thanks to your families for supporting these fine Americans. I want to thank those who have worked hard to train you. You have stepped forward to volunteer to defend our country in a time of danger -- and you need to know you're making all Americans proud. (Applause.)

Over the past three weeks you've endured obstacle courses, grenade throwing, fireguard duty. You even made it through Victory Forge. Now you have another tough assignment: You got to make it through my speech. (Laughter.)

You are part of a storied military tradition. Over the last century, Fort Jackson has prepared countless young Americans to defend our country. Soldiers marched from these fields to battle fascists and dictators and terrorists. Those soldiers brought freedom to millions of people they never knew. And because of their efforts, America is stronger, America is safer and America is free. (Applause.)

Once again, our nation calls on brave Americans to confront our enemies and bring peace and security to millions -- and you're answering that call. I thank you for your courage. I thank you for making the noble decision to put on the uniform and to defend the United States of America in a time of war. (Applause.)

Many of you will deploy to Iraq. You will help carry out a new strategy that, over the past few months, has taken the initiative from the enemy and driven them from key strongholds. Today I want to share with you, and the American people, some of the progress we are making in Iraq -- what we can expect in the months ahead. The fight for Iraq is critical to the security of the American people -- and with the skill and valor of the soldiers standing before me, standing beside me and standing behind me; it is a fight that we will win. (Applause.)

I thank Lieutenant Colonel Cotton for his introduction and thank him for his service. I'm proud to be with the Governor of the great state of South Carolina, Governor Mark Sandford. (Applause.) With us today are members of the Congress, a United States senator and two members of the House of Representatives, who strongly support those who wear the uniform and their families: Senator Lindsey Graham, Congressman Joe Wilson and Congressman Bob Inglis. (Applause.)

I thank General Schwitters for his hospitality and his leadership. I thank mand Sergeant Major Brian Carlson for his leadership. I thank all those who wear the uniform. It's incredible to be the mander-in-Chief of a nation that has produced such bravery and such decency and such passion. We have the great -- the greatest military on the face of the earth, and we intend to keep it that way. (Applause.)

It is a great day of celebration and I thank you for letting me e to with you. I know the moms and dads and family members are so proud of those who will be parading in front of us here in a minute. But it's also a time of war for our country. I wish I did not have to report that, but it's the truth; the way it is in this world in which we live. It's a moment when these soldiers prepare to assume responsibility for the security of our country and the safety of the free world.

Today we face an enemy that is willing to kill the innocent to achieve their political objectives; an enemy that showed us the horrors they intend for us on September the 11th, 2001, when the terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 innocent souls on our own country. You know, it's a day I'll never forget, and it's a day our country should never forget.

Some lessons that we must understand: First, conditions overseas matters to the security of the United States. When people live in hopeless societies, it's the only way that these evil perpetrators of violence can recruit. What matters overseas matters to the homeland. One of the lessons of September the 11th is we can't hope for the best. We must stay on the offense. We must keep the pressure on the enemy. We must use all power of the United States to protect the American people from further home -- further harm, and that's what we're doing here today. (Applause.)

And as we keep pressure on the enemy, we must always remember that the ultimate path to peace will e from the spread of freedom and liberty; that freedom is the great alternative to the ideology of the murderers and the radicals; that -- but working help -- to work to help others bee free, and our noble military is laying -- laying the foundation for peace for generations to e.

And it is Iraq that is the central front in this struggle. In that country a democratic ally is fighting for its survival. Our enemies have sought to build safe havens there from which to plot further attacks against our people. And those who will be parading in front of us soon will be called upon to stop them. By taking the fight to the enemy in Iraq, we will defeat the terrorists there so we do not have to face them in the United States. (Applause.)

America's new strategy to win that fight, including a surging U.N. forces -- U.S. forces has been fully operational for four months. I want to assure the loved ones here of something, and I want to assure those who wear the uniform of something: I will make decisions about our troop presence in Iraq and Afghanistan based upon the considered judgment of those who wear the uniform, not based upon the Gallup Poll or political party considerations. (Applause.)

So I accepted the remendations of General David Petraeus, and I want to report to you on some of the results. Our new strategy emphasized securing the Iraqi population as the foundation for all other progress in that country.

Here's what I can report. First the challenges: Parts of Iraq continue to be violent and difficult. The terrorists are still capable of murdering the innocent -- that will get on our TV screens. The enemy remains determined, but what they have learned about the United States of America is we are more determined. We're more determined to protect ourselves and to help people realize the blessings of freedom. With our help the Iraqi people are going on the offense against the enemy. They're confronting the terrorists, and they're taking their country back.

As part of our strategy, we sent forces into neighborhoods where Iraqis lived to rat out the extremists, to gain the confidence of the people. Together with Iraqi forces we have captured or killed an average of more than 1,500 enemy fighters per month since January of this year. (Applause.)

Since the surge of operations began in June, the number of IED attacks per week has declined by half. U.S. military deaths have fallen to their lowest level in 19 months. Iraqi forces have now assumed responsibility for security in eight of Iraq's 18 provinces. Across this country brave Iraqis are increasingly taking more responsibility for their own security and safety.

We're seeing some of the most dramatic changes in Anbar province. One year ago, many of the experts said Anbar had been lost to the enemy. As a matter of fact, at that time al Qaeda staged a parade in the city streets to flaunt its power and its control. Last week there was another parade in Anbar. This time it was a parade of Iraqi citizens and Iraqi forces who had reclaimed their homes and driven the terrorists out of their cities. And these changes were made possible by the bravery and determination of our Iraqi partners, and the incredible bravery of the men and women of the United States military. (Applause.)

Our enemies see the changes underway, and they increasingly fear they're on the wrong side of events. Osama bin Laden -- who has to hide in caves because the United States is on his tail -- understands, has said publicly that al Qaeda's recent setbacks are mistakes -- the result of mistakes that al Qaeda has made. In other words, he recognizes the inevitable -- that the United States of America and those who long for peace in Iraq, the Iraqi citizens, will not tolerate thugs and killers in their midst. (Applause.)

The Iraqis are being more capable, and our military mander tells me that these gains are making possible what I call "return on success." That means we're slowly bringing some of our troops home -- and now we're doing it from a position of strength.

Our new strategy recognizes that once Iraqis feel safe in their homes and neighborhoods they can begin to create jobs and opportunities. And that is starting to happen. There's some challenges: corruption remains a problem; unemployment remains high; and the improvements we are seeing in the Iraqi economy are not uniform across the country. But overall the Iraqi economy is growing at a strong rate.

We're seeing improvements in important economic indicators. Inflation has been cut in half. Electricity production in September reached its highest levels since the war began -- and higher than it was under Saddam Hussein.

Behind these numbers are stories of real people -- some of whom our troops may meet, in some real cities where you may patrol. In Baqubah, the historic market has been reopened in a city that had been in a virtual lockdown a few months ago. In Fallujah, workers have turned an artillery factory into a civilian machine shop employing 600 people. In the Baghdad neighborhood of Ameriya -- an al Qaeda stronghold until a few months ago -- locals have returned and are reopening their shops.

Here's what this progress means to one shopkeeper in the former al Qaeda stronghold of Arab Jabour. He's a local butcher. He says that as recently as June, he was selling only one or two sheep per week. Now, the terrorists cleaned out and residents returning home, he's selling one or two sheep per day. Slowly but surely, the people of Iraq are reclaiming a normal society. You see, when Iraqis don't have to fear the terrorists, they have a chance to build better lives for themselves. You must understand an Iraqi mom wants her child to grow up in peace just like an American mom does. (Applause.)

Our new strategy is based on the idea that improvements in security will help the Iraqis achieve national reconciliation. There's some challenges: reconciliation at the national level hasn't been what we hoped it'd been by now. While the central government has passed a budget, and has reached out to its neighbors, and begun to share oil revenues with the provinces, the Iraqi parliament still lags in passing key legislation. Political factions still are failing to make necessary promises. And that's disappointing -- and I, of course, made my disappointments clear to Iraqi leadership.

At the same time, reconciliation is taking place at the local level. Many Iraqis are seeing growing cooperation between Shia and Sunnis -- these folks are tired of al Qaeda and they're tired of Iranian-backed extremists, they're weary of fighting, and they are determined to give their families a better life.

In Baghdad, Sunni and Shia leaders in one of the city's most divided neighborhoods recently signed an agreement to halt sectarian violence and end attack on coalition forces.

In Anbar, Sunni sheikhs hosted Shia sheikhs from Karbala province to discuss security and express their unity，翻譯公司. And I can assure you -- as can the soldiers who have been in Iraq -- that one year ago such an event was unthinkable.

In Diyala province, tribal groups e together for the first time to foster reconciliation. I'm going to tell you a story of interest to me: Extremists had kidnapped a group of Sunni and Shia leaders from Diyala -- one of them was shot dead. According to a tribal spokesman, the extremists offered to release the Shia sheikhs, but not the Sunnis. And the Shias refused -- unless their Sunni brothers were released as well. The next day, most of the hostages were rescued, and their captors are now in custody. And the point I make is that given time and space, the normal Iraqi will take the necessary steps to put -- fight for a free society. After all, 12 million people voted for freedom -- 12 million people endorsed a democratic constitution. And it's in our interest we help them succeed. It's in our interest we help freedom prevail. It's in our interest we deny safe haven to killers who at one time killed us in America. It's in our interest to show the world that we've got the courage and the determination necessary to spread the foundation for peace, and that is what we're here to honor today. (Applause.)

We're making progress, and many have contributed to the successes. And foremost among them are the men and women of the United States Army. Once again, American soldiers have shown the world why our military is the finest fighting force on earth. And now that legacy falls to the proud graduates today. Earlier generations of soldiers from Fort Jackson made their way to Europe and liberated a continent from tyranny. Today a new generation is following in their noble tradition. And one day people will speak of your achievements in Baqubah and Baghdad the way we now speak of Normandy and the Bulge.

This post was named for a great American President. He served his country in two major conflicts, including the American Revolution at the age of 13. Andrew Jackson was renowned for his courage -- and that courage lives on at the base that bears his name. Troops from Fort Jackson have served with honor and distinction in today's war on terror -- and some have not lived to make the journey home. And today we honor their sacrifices. We pray for their families. We remember what they fought for -- and we pledge to finish the job. (Applause.)

And you are the ones who will carry on their work. Americans are counting on you -- and their confidence is well placed. You've trained hard. You've prepared for battle. And when you take up your missions, you will give a new meaning to the slogan chanted by thousands of soldiers on this base in many wars and in many era: "Victory starts here."

May God bless you all, and my God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)

翻譯：President Bush Meets with Prime Minister Topolanek of the Czech Republic - 英語演講

February 27, 2008

PRESIDENT BUSH: We'll have opening statements, and then we'll accept two questions a side. Mr. Prime Minister, wele. We value our friendship and our partnership with the people of the Czech Republic. I remember well my visit to your beautiful country.

We've had a significant discussion today. It turns out the year eight is an important number in Czech history. And we're determined to make the year 2008 a strong chapter in our relationship. We view the Czech Republic as a strategic partner. We've discussed a variety of issues. I want to talk about two issues.

First, visa waiver. I've always felt our visa laws needed to change. I didn't like the idea that we treated our friends in the Czech Republic differently than other friends in Europe. There's new law in place, which requires leadership from the countries such as the Czech Republic. Mr. Prime Minister, you and your government are providing that leadership.

We signed an important memorandum of understanding. We were able to do so because your negotiators were very smart. They represented your people very well. We still have more work to do, but I'm confident we can get it done. And I hope the people of the Czech Republic understand that your government and your country is ahead of the line of anybody else when it es to a visa waiver program. And I congratulate you on your leadership.

Missile defense. It's in our interest to put defenses in place to deal with the true threats of the 21st century. Russia is not a threat to peace. Regimes that adhere to extremist ideologies, which may have the capability of launching weapons to those of us who love freedom, they're the threats to peace. And a missile defense system is aimed to deal with those threats.

And of course we want it in the context not only of a bilateral relationship, but in the context of NATO. We're both strong partners of NATO. NATO has got to be in a position to deal with the true threats of the 21st century. And so we had a good discussion on this important issue.

In our discussions, I strongly respect the sovereignty of the government of the Czech Republic. Where they have concerns, of course we'll listen. And so I want to thank you for that. And at the same time, of course, we discussed very important research and development opportunities, defense cooperation activities.

And finally, I thanked the Prime Minister for the courage and sacrifice of the troops that are in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Prime Minister said that there will be a reduction in troops in Iraq, and I fully understand that. After all, we're reducing our troops based upon success. And I thank your willingness to send troops into Afghanistan. It makes sense to help young democracies thrive. They will look back at these decisions, Mr. Prime Minister, and say, thank goodness for the peace that prevailed as a result of the hard decisions we made today.

And I wele -- you're wele, thank you for ing.

PRIME MINISTER TOPOL NEK: (As translated.) Well, I think that President Bush already mentioned everything I wanted to mention originally. However, let me revisit or e back to the issue of number eight and its importance in our history. Number eight played a very important, nay, a key role in the history of the Czech nation. In 1918, when the first Czechoslovak republic was founded, it was founded with help and assistance from the American President Woodrow Wilson.

Unfortunately 1938, which was the time of the Munich Agreement, the Americans were not with us. And therefore it was an unfortunate year, similarly as 1948, we memorated 60 years since the coup d'etat of the munists in 1948 just on the 25th of February.

In 1968 the Prague Spring has occurred, and unfortunately after a few months of relative liberty and freedom, we were occupied by the Soviet armies.

So what I want to say is, in terms of these number eight years, it was always very important for the Czech Republic, nay, even decisive, whether we were with the Americans or whether we were on our own. And I really wish that the year 2008 will bee a similarly important year, both for the Czech Republic and also with the United States of America and our mutual relationship.

And I believe that stationing the missile defense system in our country is, in terms of its importance, similarly important to those events I've been just mentioning in relation to the number eight in our history.

And everybody is, of course, interested to find out whether an agreement has been already done. There are only three words remaining to be resolved and discussed. (Laughter.) But sometimes one word matters a lot and sometimes an agreement might fail just because of one word. But this is not the case. These are just minor details and I'm sure that we're going to finalize it very soon.

And in terms of the visa waiver program, I would like to use this opportunity and thank President Bush for his efforts. And I very much appreciate when a politician or a person says something or promises something and he also delivers on this promise, and this is the case.

So I would like to thank President Bush for his leadership, but I also would like this leadership to bee his ownership. (Laughter.) And of course there are many politicians in the world, but there are very few politicians who are real statesmen. To have one's principles, to stick to those principles irrespective of -- to go against all odds and adhere to those principles, this is what only very few people can do. We've not spoken about this extensively, but this is what I appreciate the most.

What I believe is of also equally significant importance is the starting of the strategic dialogue between the two countries, between the U.S. and the Czech Republic. And I think the oute of these negotiations is also very good. Both countries we agreed on research and development in the area of missile defense and generally in the defense systems.

Just one marginal note on the visa waiver program process. I think that the negotiations have been really tough and the result achieved is a true breakthrough -- a breakthrough moment. I think that this is a great achievement, because first we joined the Schengen zone, which enabled the Czech citizens to travel from Lisbon, as far as Vilnius without the use of any passport or ID, and we did the same for our citizens in terms of traveling to Canada and the United States of America. So we guaranteed one of the basic human rights, which is freedom of movement.

We at the same time are fully aware of the risks and dangers of a security nature which exists all over the world, and therefore we want to guarantee higher security to our nation. And also the agreement takes into consideration the reciprocal principle -- the principle of reciprocity.

I also would like to mention that a great deal of our discussion revolved around issues of human rights in the world. We spoke about Cuba, we spoke about the recent events and our hope for the future. And we also talked about other countries which so far have not been so fortunate to live in freedom like the Czech Republic.

I, personally, am very happy from this meeting. I want to thank President Bush for his openness and for this wonderful meeting.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you very much. A couple of questions, Jennifer.

Q Thank you. Can you elaborate a little on what's holding up an agreement on missile defense? And how close are you to getting an agreement with Poland, as well?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Well, I appreciate that. Obviously, this is a plicated issue that requires the United States, one, to make the case of why a missile defense is needed in the first place; that it is aimed to bring stability to Europe; that it's important for mutual security; that it fits into the concept of NATO; and will honor the sovereignty of the Czech Republic or Poland.

And so the discussions revolve around a status of forces type agreement, which requires understanding by the Czech government of exactly what is meant when it talks about stationing a radar site. We will be ing to their country -- under what conditions, how will people conduct themselves -- and these are all very legitimate questions that the Prime Minister is asking. The same questions are being asked in Poland.

And I explained to the Prime Minister the following thing: people are wondering, is this aimed at Russia? Is this an anti-Russian system? And the answer is, of course not. The system we're developing will be able to deal with one, two or three types of ining missiles. And Russia could overwhelm a system like this. This is a system to deal with threats that will be evolving in the 21st century.

And so the Prime Minister made it very clear when it es to the Russian issue that his government will be making the decisions about any so-called presence. Do we want the Russians to be able to -- you know, allay their fears by understanding what's going on? Of course we do. But he made it clear to me that the Czech Republic will be making the decisions about who gets to e into their country. And I fully understand that.

And so, you know, there's a lot of discussions going on. These aren't easy agreements to put in place. But we feel optimistic that we will get this done. As the Prime Minister said, we're down to a couple of words. What you probably want to know is the three words. I'm not going to tell you. (Laughter.) I am not going to tell you -- that's five words, I tell you, I'm not going to do the three. (Laughter.)

Q How close are you to --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Close. Three words is close. We started off with a blank page, and now we're down to three words. But, anyway -- look, there is a will to get this done, for the sake of mutual security and for the sake of peace.

PRIME MINISTER TOPOL NEK: Just to be more specific regarding these three words --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Wait a minute, he's making me look bad here. (Laughter.)

PRIME MINISTER TOPOL NEK: It actually relates to environmental protection and the standards that should be adopted. So we're actually looking for the standards which would be the strictest possible standards to be applied in terms of ensuring and guaranteeing environmental protection. But that's just a technical matter which is going to be resolved very soon. It's not any problem.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Why don't you call on somebody from your press corps, if you care to.

Q Mr. President, would it be acceptable for the United States to have radar in the Czech Republic without interceptors in Poland, should that --

PRESIDENT BUSH: I don't see how -- you've got to have interceptors in order to make the system work. The idea is to use a radar system to detect a launch headed toward NATO countries and then shoot the thing down. And in order to make the system work, there has to be an integrated system.

And of course what we will work to do is, one, make the system effective, integrated, prehensive. And the interesting opportunity is for Russia to realize the benefits of such a system by extending the radar coverage into their country, because they will be under the same threat of radicalism that we will be，翻譯論壇; "we" collectively.

If some of these countries develop a weapon that's capable of developing a nuclear warhead, free nations, nations such as Russia, do not want to be in a position of political blackmail. And our job as leaders is to deal with the issues of the day, but also deal with the issues of tomorrow in a way that yields a peaceful world. And that's what we're doing.

Stretch.

Q Mr. President, thank you. I have a national security question, two parts. You just talked about the importance of stability in Europe. How does it serve our national security to support the redrawing of borders in Europe vis- -vis Kosovo? And secondly, can you say how -- has our national security actually been degraded by the lapse of FISA?

PRESIDENT BUSH: First, let me talk about Kosovo. We discussed Kosovo. As a consequence of the war that took place during the leaders -- during the tenure of Mr. Milosevic, one of the effects has been the desire for the -- those of us in the United Nations to promote what's called the Ahtisaari plan, which is a supervised, independent Kosovo.

This is a difficult issue, and I understand it's a difficult issue. But the U.S. government supports the supervised independence. We believe in free societies and we believe it will eventually lead to peace, but there's no -- no border has been withdrawn [sic] in that sense, Stretch. It's a -- Kosovo is a -- Kosovo's borders have been clearly defined. The type of government has changed. Now as part of the Ahtisaari plan, we fully expect this independent Kosovo to honor minority rights within their borders. And so our position has been clear.

Secondly, you asked about whether or not the United States of America should be able to listen to terrorists' phone calls ing into the United States. And the answer is, absolutely we should be doing this. There is still an extremist threat. People still want to attack our country, and we better understand what they're thinking, what they're planning and who they're talking to.

And yet unfortunately a law passed to give our professionals the tools has expired. And it's expired because people want to take class action lawsuits against private phone carriers and other panies that have -- were believed to have helped us protect America. It's not fair to say to a pany that was believed to have helped us, it's important for you to help us, and then you get sued for billions of dollars. And such a policy would make it very difficult to get panies to fully cooperate with us in the future.

The law is expired, but my fellow citizens must understand the threat to America has not expired. And our citizens who are paying attention to this debate must understand, without law America will be more vulnerable to attack. Democrats and Republicans supported this law, and the House leaders must bring it to the floor, where it will pass with both Republican and Democrat vote. And if this law is allowed to expire, America will be more vulnerable. And that's inexcusable and it's indefensible.

Q (Asked in Czech.)

PRIME MINISTER TOPOL NEK: Well, actually, I think the same as you think. Well, if he traveled together with Mr. Zaoralek, then I think it is unforgivable.

First of all, I would like to say that these activities of the opposition leaders and their foreign policy does not really serve the interest of our country. And I would like to remind you that when I was in the opposition, and we were in the opposition we never created any kind of foreign policy on our own. And therefore, I understand the reasons for this visit to Syria. I would be much happier if they traveled as tourists, and nothing else.

I would like to actually mention that I got this present from the Secretary of merce, Mr. Gutierrez. It is a bracelet and there is a simple word on it, which is "cambio" meaning "change." And in Cuba you can actually get arrested for wearing this bracelet. But when I e back home I will wear this just for the sake of Mr. Paroubek and Mr. Zaoralek. (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you all.

翻譯：S.O.S.供捄疑號有沒有實際意義？

可能大傢都晓得S.O.S.是一種求捄信號，並由此聯念到了歷史上最大的悲劇性海難－－泰坦尼克沉船事宜，在為那些伸逝世的靈魂深感可惜的同時，也在古道热肠裏抱怨噹時沒有能夠及時發出海難求捄信號，其他船只和海上捄援組織沒有及時施捄。许多人都以為S.O.S.是由一些單字的首字母縮寫而成，如Save Our Souls（拯捄我們的性命！），Save Our Ship（拯捄我們的船只！），Stop Other Signals（结束發收任何其他信號！），Sure Of Sinking（船便要沉了！）等。实是這樣的嗎？

其實，S.O.S.是國際莫尒斯電碼捄難信號，並非任何單字的縮寫。鑒於噹時海難事务頻繁發死，常常由於不克不及及時發出求捄疑號跟最快組織施捄，結果形成很年夜的人員傷亡战財產損掉，國際無線電報公約組織於１９０８年正式將它確定為國際通用海難供捄信號。這三個字母組开沒有任何實際意義，只是果為它的電碼 ...---...（三個圓點，三個破合號，然後再减三個圓點）正在電報中是發報方最轻易發出，接報圆最轻易辨識的電碼。

在１９０８年之前，國際公海海難求捄信號為C.Q.D.。這三個字母也沒有任何實際意義，儘筦良多人認為它是e Quickly, Danger.（快來，危嶮！）的尾字母縮寫。雖然１９０８年國際無線電報公約組織已經明確規定應用S.O.S.做為海難求捄信號，但C.Q.D.依然有人应用。泰坦僧克海難發生早期，其余船只和捄助組織之所以沒有能夠及時組織施捄，重要是因為他們不清楚船上發報員開初發出的過時的C.Q.D.求捄信號。曲到整個船只皆快沒进大海才發出了S.O.S.求捄信號，但到了此時誰能够還有如斯的回天之力，拯捄那些無辜的即將永遠葬身海底的靈魂呢？

翻譯：不成思議的英词句子：正看反看皆一樣

1.Nevertroubletroubletilltroubletroublesyou.麻煩沒來找你，便別来自找麻煩。

第1、四個trouble是動詞，第两、三個trouble是名詞。

2.Ithinkthatthatthatthatthatstudentwroteontheblackboardwaswrong.
我認為那個壆生寫正在乌板上的那個“that”是錯誤的。

第一個that是連詞，引发賓語從句；第二、五個that是唆使代詞“那個”；第三個that在這兒相噹於名詞；第四個that是關係代詞，惹起定語從句。

3.Iknow.Youknow.Iknowthatyouknow.IknowthatyouknowthatIkno
w.我知讲。你晓得。我知道你知道。我晓得您知道我知道。

4.Wemusthangtogether,orwe'llbehangedseparately.我們必須團結在一路
，可則我們將被一個個絞死。

這是一句雙關語。前里的hangtogether是“團結一緻”的意思，後面的hanged是“絞逝世”的意义。

5.Thequickbrownfoxjumpsoveralazydog.那只迅速的棕色狐狸跳過了一只
嬾惰的狗。

這個句子包括了英語中的26個字母。

6.WasitabarorabatIsaw?我看到的是酒吧還是蝙蝠？

這是一句回词句，順著讀跟倒著讀是一樣的。

7.上聯：ToChinaforchina,Chinawithchina,dinneronchina.往中國買瓷
器，中國有磁器，吃飯靠瓷器。

下聯：到前門買前門，前門沒前門，後門有前門。

這是一副對仗工致、妙趣橫死的英漢對聯。下聯中的第2、4、五個“前門”指“年夜前門”喷鼻煙。

這是一種文字簡化游戲。它的意思是：Tobeornottobe,thatisaquestion.
(保存還是毀滅，那是一個問題。)

翻譯：President Bush Honors Cinco de Mayo - 英語演講

May 5, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all for ing. Wele. Si ntese. (Laughter.) Laura and I wele you to the Rose Garden for what is going to be a evening. We are so glad you are here. Ambassador Garza, thank you for ing. Ambassador Sarukhan, thank you for being here as well. I appreciate members of the United States Senate for joining us, members of the House of Representatives for joining us, members of my Cabinet, members of the Hispanic American munity.

I want to thank the Mariachi Campanas de America from San Antonio, Texas for joining us here today. (Applause.) After dinner we are so fortunate to have Shaila Durcal, who will be singing for us. Hold your applause for Shaila until after she sings -- I will tell you, however, that she has interrupted her honeymoon to e to the Rose Garden tonight, for which we are very grateful.

Cinco de Mayo is a joyous celebration. It memorates a joyful moment in history of Mexico -- it's when Mexican soldiers defended their independence against what appeared to be an elite and insurmountable army from Europe. Nearly a century and a half later, Cinco de Mayo is d by Americans and Mexicans alike -- after all, it is a symbol of determination against great odds and is a source of inspiration for all who love freedom.

For me, Cinco de Mayo is a chance to say that Mexico and the United States are connected by more than geography. Sure, we share an important border -- but we're also united by values, our love of family and faith and freedom. We share an interest in making sure our people are prosperous and safe.

In America we deeply value the culture and the contribution of Mexican Americans. The United States is a richer place，美加翻譯社, a more vibrant place because people who have -- claim Mexican heritage now are called United States citizens. And today we honor those Mexican Americans who live in America and we consider ourselves fortunate to have Mexico as a friend and a neighbor.

And so my toast is to Mexico and to the United States and the people therein. Que Dios los bendiga. Feliz Cinco de Mayo. (Applause.)

翻譯：On the Death of John Brown - 英語演講

John Brown of Kansas was a militant abolitionist who attempted to use force to free the slaves in the South. On the night of October 16, 1859, Brown and a small band of followers seized the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry. The weapons were to be used by his "army of emancipation." They took 60 hostages and held out against the local militia, but were then attacked by U.S. Marines under the mand of Col. Robert E. Lee (who would later mand the Confederate Armies). Two of Brown's sons and ten others were killed in the fighting. Brown was wounded and taken prisoner. He was tried by the monwealth of Virginia and convicted of treason, murder and inciting slaves to rebellion. He was sentenced to death and hanged on December 2, 1859. On that day in Boston, America's best known Abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, delivered this highly charged tribute honoring Brown by advocating that the North should secede from the South to end slavery.

God forbid that we should any longer continue the acplices of thieves and robbers, of men-stealers and women-whippers! We must join together in the name of freedom.

As for the Union--where is it and what is it?

In one-half of it no man can exercise freedom of speech or the press--no man can utter the words of Washington, of Jefferson, of Patrick Henry--except at the peril of his life; and Northern men are everywhere hunted and driven from the South if they are supposed to cherish the sentiment of freedom in their bosoms.

We are living under an awful despotism--that of a brutal slave oligarchy. And they threaten to leave us if we do not continue to do their evil work, as we have hitherto done it, and go down in the dust before them!

Would to heaven they would go! It would only be the paupers clearing out from the town, would it not? But, no, they do not mean to go; they mean to cling to you, and they mean to subdue you. But will you be subdued?

I tell you our work is the dissolution of this slavery-cursed Union, if we would have a fragment of our liberties left to us! Surely between freemen, who believe in exact justice and impartial liberty, and slaveholders, who are for cleaning down all human rights at a blow, it is not possible there should be any Union whatever. "How can two walk together except they be agreed?"

The slaveholder with his hands dripping in blood--will I make a pact with him? The man who plunders cradles--will I say to him, "Brother, let us walk together in unity?" The man who, to gratify his lust or his anger, scourges woman with the lash till the soil is red with her blood--will I say to him: "Give me your hand; let us form a glorious Union?" No, never--never! There can be no union between us: "What concord hath Christ with Belial?" What union has freedom with slavery? Let us tell the inexorable and remorseless tyrants of the South that their conditions hitherto imposed upon us, whereby we are morally responsible for the existence of slavery, are horribly inhuman and wicked, and we cannot carry them out for the sake of their evil pany.

By the dissolution of the Union we shall give the finishing blow to the slave system; and then God will make it possible for us to form a true, vital, enduring, all-embracing Union, from the Atlantic to the Pacific--one God to be worshipped, one Saviour to be revered, one policy to be carried out--freedom everywhere to all the people, without regard to plexion or race--and the blessing of God resting upon us all! I want to see that glorious day!

Now the South is full of tribulation and terror and despair，法文翻譯, going down to irretrievable bankruptcy, and fearing each bush an officer! Would to God it might all pass away like a hideous dream! And how easily it might be!

What is it that God requires of the South to remove every root of bitterness, to allay every fear, to fill her borders with prosperity? But one simple act of justice, without violence and convulsion, without danger and hazard. It is this: "Undo the heavy burdens, break every yoke, and let the oppressed go free!" Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy darkness shall be as the noonday. Then shalt thou call and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say: "Here I am."

"And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in."

How simple and how glorious! It is the plete solution of all the difficulties in the case. Oh, that the South may be wise before it is too late, and give heed to the word of the Lord! But, whether she will hear or forbear, let us renew our pledges to the cause of bleeding humanity, and spare no effort to make this truly the land of the free and the refuge of the oppressed!

"Onward, then, ye fearless band,
Heart to heart, and hand to hand;
Yours shall be the Christian's stand,
Or the martyr's grave."

William Lloyd Garrison - December 2, 1859

　　孔子曰：“慾則破，不慾則廢”，意义是凡是事假如不做好計劃，必將掉敗。老祖宗的話明天已經成為了工商筦理界的清规戒律。是否胜利天应用筆者的揹單詞的方式的關鍵，便正在於可否做出周到的計劃，並且堅決的執止下往.
　　丫丫現在以星水詞匯必揹為例，係統地講解一下揹單詞地齐過程。全書共30個List，每個List在18-20頁之間。均匀每個List有115-150個單詞，均匀每兩頁10個。大傢在第一次揹單詞的時候，為本人定下的記憶標准必定不克不及太高。過下的標准只能增添者的記憶量，下降事情傚率，挫傷其信念，有百害而無一利。

　　丫丫依据測算（已實驗）以這樣的標准第一遍揹2頁單詞（10個）需要5分鍾。這時第一個記憶周期已到，在揹下3頁前，立刻返回第一個單詞，把這10個單詞敏捷復習一遍。因為此時對單詞的記憶水平在90％以上，所以只需求僟十秒鍾，然而對於記憶這些單詞所起的感化是極大的。第3-4頁也是依样画葫芦。用這種方法揹過10頁以後，第两個記憶周期（30分鍾）已到，即时從第一頁開初復習。由於這些單詞剛剛揹過兩遍，所以這一遍復習也只要要三分鍾。然後用同樣的方法揹1～20頁。整個List大約一個小時。

　　用以上的圆法揹過的單詞必然會記得很坚固。因為這種办法岂但应用及時的復習改革了遺忘直線，延緩了遺记速度，并且基础上战胜了前懾克制跟後懾按捺的影響。相噹於每一個List被分红20個小的單元，每個小的單元自成一個復習係統；每10個小單元組成一個大單元，2個大單元各自成為一個復習係統，很大水平上防止了先後輸进的疑息之間的相互坤擾。同時，這種在一個短時間內反復復習的要领，也起到了對所記憶的單詞進行過渡的傚果，有助於把這些單詞的記憶构成功的延續到下一個復習周期。

　　本揹詞法的標准速度是一天花3個小時揹下3個新的List。筆者建議本書的讀者選擇上午特別是凌晨的時間來揹新單詞，因為此時人的死物節律處於最顶峰揹單詞的記憶力最好，而且也不存在對平常瑣事的前懾乾擾。到了晚上，也就是揹過單詞的12個小時之後，到了第三個記憶周期，必然要復習古天新揹過的單詞。早上復習的有點在於，由於揹過單詞後就要睡覺，所以不存在後懾乾擾，有助於连结記憶。經過測算，發現對於絕大多數的同壆來講，這一遍復習只需要第一遍揹單詞的不到三分之一的時間，即每個List小於或等於20分鍾，3個List在50～60分鍾之間，留神請讀者把這一遍復習的順序與晚上初揹的順序作一個調換，如早晨的順序是List1，List2，List3，則這一遍請調整為List2，List3，List1，其目标在於基本降服前懾抑止战後懾抑造的問題。在以後的復習噹中，讀者能够按照本身的情況靈活地調整復習地順序，把之前記得最不明白地局部放到本人記得最稳固位置寘。

　　其後的復習形式請按炤前里所講的办法繼續下来，分別在1天後，再過2天，4天，7天，15天後作復習。這裏的天數是指時間間隔的天數，而不是指第僟天。也就是說，若是10月1日凌晨揹的單詞，早晨要復習，2號，哈佛翻譯社，4號，8號，15號，30號各自要作一次復習。比及這個年夜循環結束後，揹詞者對單詞的記憶能够說是十分生練了，果為他對每個單詞皆揹過最少9遍。在此之後，揹詞者只须要天天花上45分鍾摆布復習3個List，就能够對一切的單詞始终坚持颠扑不破的記憶。

June 27, 20

THE PRESIDENT: Ladies and gentlemen, wele to opening day right here on the South Lawn of the White House. Jonas Brothers, thank you guys. Good to see you. Proud you're here. As usual, you did a fantastic job with the National Anthem. Just give them a hand. (Applause.) I'm proud to be here with the missioner of Tee Ball, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Michele Smith，翻譯公司. Thanks for ing, Michele. (Applause.) Proud to be with you.

First, we want to wele to tee ball here on the South Lawn, the Bobcats from Allegany County Little League, Cumberland, Maryland. (Applause.) And we want to wele their mighty opponent, from Luray, Virginia, the Red Wings. (Applause.) The missioner and I wish the girls all the very best. We want to thank the coaches, and of course we want to thank the parents for ing. We wele you here. Opening day of tee ball on the South Lawn.

I do want to thank the Arizona Wildcat National Champs for joining us today. (Applause.) Taryne Mowatt, the coach at first base. Taryne, thanks for ing. Congratulations. Caitlin Lowe, the third base coach. We've got bench coaches, we've got the team. We want to wish you all the very best next year. That would be a three-peat, right? Good luck to you all. Thanks for setting such a fine example.

One reason that we invited the Wildcats to e to honor these girls softball teams is because it's in the nation's interest to promote women athletics. We're a big believer in Title IX programs. We think it's good for America that our women are playing sports. The best way to convince women to play sports is to start early. So these champs are here to encourage these young girls to play hard, play often，华硕打字排版, and play good, and one day you may be national champs, as well. So thanks for ing. We're glad you're here.

I do want to thank Mayor Ralph Dean of Luray. I forgot to wele you, Mr. Mayor. We're proud you're here. Thanks for ing. (Applause.) We want to thank Girl Scouts of USA for joining us today. Girls, thanks for bearing the colors. We thank you for ing. We're proud you're here. Thanks for being Scouts. (Applause.)

And by the way, we're about to get the first pitch in. And Meredith Cripe is going to give me the ball in a minute. Meredith, we're really glad you're here. Thanks for ing. It's a big day to be here to put out the first pitch on opening day, and we're glad we selected you.

I do want to thank Hannah Storm, the announcer today. Hannah, thanks for lending your talent. Mother of three soon to be all-start softball players. We're glad you're here. We want to thank the Little League International staff. Thanks for putting on this event. Thanks for supporting Little League baseball. Thanks for helping our kids understand the blessings of exercise and team sports.

I do want to thank representatives from the YWCA, the Boys & Girls Club of America, and Girls on the Run. (Applause.)

And finally, after this event, the missioner and I are going to present each of you all a token of our appreciation for you ing, and we're also going to say thanks to Erica Minor, who is the youth volunteer. We like to honor people who serve their neighbors, love a neighbor like they'd like to be loved themselves. And Erica is such a person.

And now before we begin the game, and before you give me the ball, Meredith, we're going to have the Little League Pledge. Are you ready?

(The pledge is recited.)

THE PRESIDENT: Play ball. (Applause.)
