A Time for Choosing英語演講稿1
Reagan: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own words and discuss my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks.
I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used, "We've never had it so good."
But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share, and yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in. We haven't balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We've raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations of the world. We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury; we don't own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are 27.3 billion dollars. And we've just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.
As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.
Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to." And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.
This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down -- [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.
A Time for Choosing英語演講稿2
暑假飛快地過完了，那快樂的，安心的暑假在一夜之間消失不見。來迎接我們的不是驚喜，不是快樂，而是那令人煩惱的初一。
走進大保實的第一步，我已經不再是那個愛搞惡作劇，上課不認真聽的小學生了。一大批作業隨風而來，把我的臉打得紫一塊，青一塊的，我的臉被打得又紅又腫。我的身體已經疲憊不堪，連以前愛不釋手的平板如今也在角落積滿灰塵，“游戲”這兩個字在我的記憶中也已經漸漸淡忘了。現在我已是一個初中生，隨著學科的增多，吃喝玩樂的時間逐漸縮小，做作業的時間隨之增多。
踏進教室一眼便看到陌生又熟悉的面孔——班主任郭老師。她興匆匆地來迎接我們了，各科的`任課老師也都帶著不同的心情來迎接我們。郭老師不僅和藹可親，而且也是一個獨特的老師。她上課方式與眾不同，性格也與眾不同，有時幽默風趣，有時也很嚴肅。
在新的學期中我認識了不少新朋友，不同的人，也給我留下了不同的印象。
中學部的操場對我們來說也是全新的，整個操場也變得跟以前不一樣了，像換上了新的服裝，披上了新的鎧甲。而我卻沒有明顯的“變新”啊，雖然老師們都很看好我，可我那“不要臉”的精神依然給同學和各科老師留下了深刻的印象。
希望初一的我會努力進步，希望初一的我成績良好。新的學期有的是時間，有的是希望，等著我去扭轉乾坤！
