Blood, Sweat and Tears

Winston Churchill

May 13, 1940

On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.

It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.

I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.

It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.

The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.

家庭背景：丘吉尔出生于一个英国贵族家庭。祖上约翰·丘吉尔因在“光荣革命”中支持威廉三世，且又在对西班牙和法国的战争中作为军队总司令取得胜利而于1702年被安妮女王封为马尔巴罗公爵。

温斯顿·丘吉尔

他是历史上掌握英语单词数量最多的人之一（十二万多），被列为近百年来世界最有说服力的八大演说家之一。

平日里喜欢抽雪茄，最多一天30根，有人统计他一生抽了3000多公斤的雪茄，这一记录至今无人打破。

二战后英国国会通过提案，想要给他在公园设置铜像，他听后说到：“谢谢大家的好意，我怕鸟儿在我铜像上拉屎。”

75岁生日的时候，一位年轻的记者说：“首相先生，真心希望明年还能来祝贺您的生日。”他拍拍记者的肩膀说：“先生，您那么年轻，身体这么棒，应该是毫无问题的。”

他是一个传奇！

在他传奇的背后，有他童年的失败、惨景、尴尬。但是他总是用一种自嘲的方式面对这些——感恩、自信、谦逊、幽默、持之以恒。

温斯顿·丘吉尔的演讲艺术

摘要：演讲好像一种工具，可以用来抒发感情，交流思想，发布主张等。商场上，一段利辞，可以赢得无尽的财富；官场上，一次高水平的演说，能使万民拥戴；战场上，一篇有号召力的战前演讲，能使军威大振。这些出色的演讲，更像是一门学问，一门艺术。本文着重研究了英国前首相丘吉尔的演讲辞，通过搜索历史视频与文献资料，以及翻阅有关学者的相关研究文章的方法，阐述了丘吉尔演讲的艺术，论证了有效的演讲辞与出色的演讲家必备的几点要素，得出了有效的演讲辞拥有不可估量的力量，出色的演讲家拥有无穷的魅力，演讲是一门每个人都应掌握的艺术。

关键词：修辞学 感情色彩词汇 诗化 自我磨练

高三时，一次偶然的机会在《格言》上看到了丘吉尔那篇最短的也是最后的演讲：“决不放弃，决不决不放弃，决不决不决不放弃。”那是关于成功秘诀的演说，寥寥的几个字在当时赢得了雷鸣般的掌声，我无法得知当时台下听众们的心情，却清楚地记得那时有一颗原本想要自暴自弃，在高考之路上胆怯的心得到了鼓舞，有新鲜的血液在身体里涌动翻滚着。往后奋战的日子里它成了疗伤的良药，继续前行的动力，直到今天那篇文章依然在床头。这是我第一次接触丘吉尔的演讲，那份魅力早已化成了无尽的力量，一直拥有着。这次的机会的也促使我不断的了解丘吉尔，了解他的演讲，了解他的艺术。

温斯顿·丘吉尔，英国前首相，领导英国取得第二次世界大战的胜利，是二十世纪全球最重要的政治领袖之一。然而他不仅是一位杰出的政治家，也是一位出色的演说家。面对山呼海啸一般的掌声，丘吉尔的演说，就是掠过风雨的惊雷、穿透黑夜的闪电，思想深邃，气势非凡，集聚了英国民众的智慧与力量，道德与情感。尤其在二战时期发表的诸多富于技巧而简练精湛的演说，更是在关键时刻鼓舞人心，坚定了反法西斯联盟的决心。

19xx年，他被授予诺贝尔文学奖时颁奖词如此评价他：“丘吉尔成熟的演说，目的敏捷准确，内容壮观动人。犹如一股铸造历史环节的力??丘吉尔在自由和人性尊重的关键时刻的滔滔不绝的演说，却另有一番动人心魄的魔力。也许他自己正是以这伟大的演说，建立了永垂不朽的丰碑。” 今天的我们，用平常
