希特勒最著名的演讲----给中国的领导们上一课

今天，我们站在这里！站在德国的土地上！站在柏林，这块我们祖先用鲜血和尊严浇灌的土地上！我的身后，是安德烈.柯里昂的雕像！他是全世界公认的自由斗士！他是全世界的光！ 我的面前，站着的是一个民族，一个在屈辱中呻吟的民族！那场战争结束之后，我们这个民族的骄傲就没有了！那些战胜者们骑在我们的脖子上作威作福，他们随意 践踏我们的尊严，一个欧洲大陆上最高贵的民族的尊严！你们告诉我，你们是选择像本杰明.马丁一样去做一个自由的斗士，还是一个奴隶？！

你们或许要说：希特勒先生，我需要一个工作，一块面包。是的，你的说法很对，生命实在是太重要了。但是我要告诉你们，这世界上还有一种东西比生命更重要，那就是自由！那就是尊严！

只要阿尔萨斯和洛林上空一日还飘扬着法国的国旗，我们的尊严就不存在！只要那些法国人、英国人在我们的国土上横行霸道，我们的尊严就不存在！只要在欧洲的 版图上，这个叫德国的国家四分五裂积弱不堪，我们的尊严就不存在！只要其他国家的人，在聊天的时候说到德国这个字眼的时候会发出一声轻蔑的笑声，我们的尊 严就不存在！

我们需要的，不是一块面包！而是一个生存空间！一个民族的生存空间！这生存空间，不是靠乞求和抗议来实现的，而是靠铁和血来实现的！

别人欺辱我们，哪怕是最弱小的民族也来践踏我们，我们只会叫着：我们表示强烈的愤慨和抗议，这样的人，是没有骨头的！这样的人，是低贱的！我们应该用大炮的震耳欲聋声让敌人颤抖！我们应该碾压他们的尊严、生命，让他们知道我们不是一群只知道抗议的懦夫！ 你们要记住，一个只懂得抗议的国家，是一个没有骨头的国家！一个只懂得抗议的政府，是一个没有骨头的政府！当我们地尊严、领土和生存的空间都遭受践踏的时候，还不知羞耻地抗议地政府，我们是不需要的！你们最后也会抛弃它们的！

我很骄傲，在你们这些人中，这样没有骨头的人，少之又少！我的面前，是一个留着千

年不屈血液的军团！这血液，曾经在我们祖先的血管里面流淌过，他们没有屈服过！现在，它们在我们的身体里面汩汩奔涌，你们告诉我，你们愿意它冷却吗！？

能够团结人们的，有两件东西：共同的理想和共同的敌人！我们有雕刻在德意志旗帜上面的伟大理想，我们会为这理想流尽我们的最后一滴血！在今天的柏林。没有 任何东西能够拯救我们的祖国，只有这理想！凡尔赛条约，是一个极大的耻辱！我们有拒绝执行它的决心和理由！做你们想做的吧！就像本杰明.马丁拿起枪，就像 他带领着他的同胞们高举着那面自由的大旗英勇杀敌一样！假如你们期望战斗，那就去战斗吧！然后我就能够看到你们是七千万奴隶还是七千万坚贞不屈的日耳曼 人！

如果有那么一天，我，阿道夫.希特勒，也会像本杰明.马丁那样，举着属于我们德意志的大旗冲在最前方！哪怕是战死，我也会微笑着进入天堂！我会见到那些德 意志的荣耀的祖先们，我可以昂着头颅走到伟大的腓特烈大帝跟前，我可以骄傲地对他说：我，你的子孙，没有给你丢脸，我为伟大的德意志流尽了最后一滴血！

我们为不被奴役而战！我们为自由而战！我们不是机器，不是牛马，我们是人！是从来没有屈服过的日耳曼人！

我们以自由的名义团结起来！为一个新的、公平的世界而战！我们为人人有工作而战！为那些奴役我们的人滚出德国人的土地而战！为我们不需要整天喊着抗议而 战！为我们的尊严而战！为我们的诺言而战！为解放这个国家而战！日耳曼人，我们为我们的祖先的荣耀而战！为我们的子孙后代能够骄傲地宣传：我们是从来不屈 服的日耳曼人而战！ 我的同胞们，德国和德国人民万岁！自由，万岁！

Figures of Speech Analysis of Churchill’s Speech

Abstract: On the base of the definition of figures of speech, this thesis gives a detailed analysis of some forms of figures of speech used in the famous speech by the well-known British prime minister Winston S .Churchill, and then excavate and show the characteristic of the article.

Key words: figures of speech; analysis; speech.

Rhetoric is a way of making our language figurative. When we use words in other than their ordinary or literal sense to lend force to an idea, to heighten effect, or to create suggestive imagery, we are said to be speaking or writing figuratively. In this thesis, I want to try my best to offer figures of speech analysis of Churchill?s Speech on Hitler?s Invasion of U.S.S.R.

1. Definition of Figures of Speech

A figure of speech is sometimes called a rhetoric or a locution. It is a use of a word that diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it such as a metaphor, simile, or personification. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity. However, clarity may also suffer from their use, as any figure of speech introduces an ambiguity between literal and figurative interpretation. Figures of speech are very common used in speech and literary works. For instance, the saying "I got your back" almost never has the literal meaning of receipt or possession of another's spine. It is a figure of speech that means the speaker intends to protect the listener, actually or symbolically. Also as "You want a piece of me?" means "You wanna start a fight?" and "It's raining cats and dogs" means it's raining intensely.

2. Information of Churchill and the Speech on Hitler’s Invasion of U.S.S.R.

Churchill is the hero that two war times expect to lead the British people to obtain the great victory of object to fascist's war, is one of " two war triumvirate" that stands together with Stalin, Roosevelt, is a great person of the historical work in world.

Churchill is the speech expert, legend hero in the war of the politician,

great talent that the outstanding writer, Anne's nation cures the country. He is in the importance in the World War II time, announce many rich in technique and move the lecture of public. His humor, tactful, always indomitable determination, give be placed in British people within crisis is go to the international community people, all brought to encourage matchlessly with the courage. Sweden college of arts says in give to his Nobel literature prize make awards phrase:" Churchill?s speech is mature, the topic is fresh and clear and emollient, the contents grand view is moving. As if a motive that casts the history link."

The effect of Churchill?s speech common people subdue, at moment of the suffering the most seriously in World War II, the British army and the people's spirit is supported, nearly all lecture by Churchill?s broadcast of every day of mound .

3. Figures of Speech Analysis of the Speech

Churchill?s Speech on Hitler?s Invasion of U.S.S.R is widely regarded as one of the most powerful ever delivered in the word. Almost every one who listened it can get encourage. The analysis of some common forms of figures of speech used in the speech is widely. Now let?s appreciate it together.

3.1 Use of Repetition:

Throughout the speech, the author used some words many times, which makes the sentence express his emotion strongly, this is a very outstanding feature in this speech called repetition. The term repetition is restricted to mean the case of exact copying of a certain previous unit in a text such as a word, phrase or even a sentence, because all the over-regular features in literature are in some sense repetitious. Used in speech, repetition not only makes it easy for the audience to follow what the speaker is saying, but also gives a strong rhythmic quality to the speech and makes it more memorable.

If we study the whole speech more carefully, it is easy for us to find lots of examples of repetition used.

(1) I see the Russian soldiers standing on the threshold of their native land… I see them guarding their homes where mothers and wives pray… I see the ten thousand villages of Russia… I see advancing upon all this in hideous onslaught the Nazi war machine… I see also the dull, drilled, docile, brutish masses of the Hun soldiery… I see the German bombers and fighters in the sky…

Author?s six sentences with “I see” together, described Nazi attack the Soviet Union situation, have indicated his position of at this time, and supported, sympathized with the Russian people and army. Detest the barbarous invasion of Nazi. Strengthen the imposing manner of tone; It an help the expression of the emotion.

(2) We will never parley; we will never negotiate with Hitler or any of his gang. We shall fight him by land, we shall fight him by sea, we shall fight him in the air, until, with the God?s help, we have rid the earth of his shadow and liberated its peoples from his yoke.

We can see obviously that Churchill will fight against Nazi until the end! If we study the whole speech more carefully, it is easy for us to find many other examples of repetition used.

(3) Let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience. Let us redouble our exertions, and strike with united strength while life and power remain.

All the sentence used repetition are reading smoothly. They can express Churchill?s emotion appropriately. And it declares that England will join together with other countries even socialist state to fight against Nazi for the freedom of people.

3.2 Use of Parallelism

Parallelism is another syntactic over-regularity. It means exact repetition in equivalent positions. It differs from simple repetition in that the identity does not extend to absolute duplication, it “requires some variable feature of the pattern-some contrasting elements which are ?parallel? with respect to their position in the pattern”. To put it simply, parallelism means the balancing of sentence elements that are grammatically equal. To take them parallel, balance nouns with nouns, verbs with verbs, prepositional phrases with prepositional phrases, clauses with clauses, and so forth.

In his speech, Churchill uses parallelism to create a strong rhythm to help the audience line up his ideas. Here are few examples:

(4) I see them guarding their homes where mothers and wives pray--- ah, yes, for there are times when all pray--- for the safety of their loved ones, the return of the bread-winner, of their champion, of their protector.

(5) I see advancing upon all this in hideous onslaught the Nazi war machine, with its clanking, heel-clicking, dandified Prussian officers, its crafty expert

agents fresh from the cowing and tying down of a dozen countries.

(6) Behind all this glare, behind all this storm, I see that small group of villainous men who plan, organize, and launch this cataract of horrors upon mankind.

It is traditionally believed that parallelism is used for the purpose of emphasizing and enhancing. In speech, the ideas expressed by the speaker, thus always encouraging and inspiring the audience.

3.3 Use of Similes and Metaphors

Similes and metaphors are comparisons that show similarities in things that are basically different, which can be used to add vividness and vitality to writing. We can change another word or sentence to express our means if we want to say something similes or uneasy to say. What?s more, it?s easy to understand. Churchill?s speech used it pertinently.

(7)I see also the dull, drilled, docile, brutish masses of the Hun soldiery plodding in like a swarm of crawling locusts.

We can see, Churchill here say Hun soldiery just like crawling locusts. They have the similar characteristic –they can spread and destroy.

(8)I asked whether for him, the arch anti-Communist, this was not bowing down in the House of Ramón.

It?s a metaphor. The paragraph “Bow down in the House of Ramón” was written in the Bible, it means “Prostrate oneself under the circumstances that false god face the foot”, and it always used to say “prostrate oneself under the foot of the money”, here Churchill want to say that he always object to communism, but this time if he change the attitude, then he express his idea.

4. Conclusion

From the test we can find and learn something from Churchill?s speech we can know why his speech was considered as one of the best wonderful speech in the word in the figures of speech ground. And we know that when we have a speech we should pay attention to use the figures of speech even more complex. But we can?t study Churchill?s speech completely. I hope we can learn some more from it.
