英国凯特王妃19日首次以王室成员身份公开演讲，表现自信。

凯特当天访问英格兰东部伊普斯维奇市一家绝症儿童护理机构，看望那些致力帮助患绝症儿童的工作人员和志愿者。

她说，这家临终关怀医院“远不是收治患病儿童、让人压抑的地方”，而是“一个家”。现场以掌声回应凯特的演讲。

演讲稿：

First of all, I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for not only accepting me as your Patron but thank you also for inviting me here today.

You have all made me feel so welcome and I feel hugely honored to be here to see this wonderful center.

I am only sorry that William can't be here today; he would love it here. A view of his - that I share - is that through teamwork, so much can be achieved.

What you have all achieved here is extraordinary.

You as a community have built the Treehouse; a group of people who have made every effort to support and help each other.

When I first visited the Hospice in Milton, I had a pre-conceived idea as to what to expect. Far from being a clinical, depressing place for sick children, it was a home. Most importantly, it was a family home, a happy place of stability, support and care. It was a place of fun.

Today I have seen again that the Treehouse is all about family and fun. For many, this is a home from home - a lifeline, enabling families to live as normally as possible, during a very precious period of time.

What you do is inspirational, it is a shining example of the support and the care that is delivered, not just here, but in the children's hospice movement at large, up and down the country.

The feelings you inspire - feelings of love and of hope - offer a chance to families to live a life they never thought could be possible.

So thank you again for inviting me here today. I feel enormously proud to be part of East Anglia's Children's Hospices and to see the wonderful life-changing work that you do. Thank you.

Remarks at Launch of the 100,000 Strong Foundation

by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State

Ben Franklin Room

January 24, 2013

美国国务卿希拉里·罗德姆·克林顿就成立―10万人留学中国计划基金会‖发表的讲话 本杰明·富兰克林厅

华盛顿哥伦比亚特区

20xx年1月24日

Thank you. Well, we’re all getting a little emotional and around here – (laughter) – with about a little over a week to go in my . And I am so pleased to welcome all of you here. I see many, many familiar faces and some good friends in this audience.

谢谢。我们大家在这里都有点激动和动感情——（笑声）——再过一个多星期我就要离任了。我非常高兴欢迎各位到来。我在你们当中看到许许多多熟悉的面孔，还有些好朋友。

And I particularly want to thank Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell for driving not only this program, but so much that we have accomplished in the last four years to deepen and strengthen our relationship with China and others in the region, but particularly with China, as it is such a relationship, one that we believe so strongly in. Ambassador Zhang, once again, welcome to the State Department. Because it is, for us, a way of making clear that our relations, government-to-government, are obviously essential. But it is those people-to-people ties that are going to determine the quality of the relationship for the future.

我要特别感谢助理国务卿库尔特·坎贝尔不仅为这个项目，而且为在过去四年中我们为深化和加强我们与中国及该地区其他国家——但主要是中国——的关系取得的许多成就所发挥的推动作用，因为这是如此意义重大的关系，我们对它如此深信。张大使，再次欢迎您光临国务院。因为，这以一种方式表明我们的关系——政府对政府的关系——明显地极其重要。然而，决定这一关系未来质量的将是那些人民对人民的联系。

Our engagement with China today deals with a wide range of the most pressing challenges and the most exciting opportunities. And when we began looking at ways to make our exchanges with China more productive, we of course ramped up our diplomatic engagement. We took delegations of investors and entrepreneurs to China. We institutionalized the Strategic and Economic Dialogue. We are very clear that what we’ve tried to build, an architecture that will stand the test of time regardless of what is going on in either of our countries, has been an essential effort.

我们今天与中国的接触涉及多方面最迫切的挑战以及最令人兴奋的机遇。当我们开始寻求如何才能使与中国的交流更有成效时，我们当然增加了外交接触。我们带投资者和企业家代表团到中国。我们将战略与经济对话制度化。我们非常明确，我们在努力建立的——一种无论两国各自国内动态如何能够经得起时间考验的架构——是一项根本性的努力。

And in 2010, we launched the 100,000 Strong Initiative. And as Kurt said, this is aimed at increasing the number of American students studying in China to 100,000 over four years. We focused on student exchanges because we believe that the future is very clearly in the hands of the young people of both of our countries. And the more we can foster exchanges and understanding, mutual trust, the better off not only the relationship will be, but each of our countries individually. We have to have far more than conversations with diplomats or journalists or leaders or

businesspeople. There’s nothing more important than trying to build a structure of exchanges between us when it comes to students and other young people.

20xx年，我们发起了―10万人留学中国计划‖。正如库尔特所说，这项计划旨在在四年时间内将美国学生到中国留学的人数增加到10万人。我们把重点放在学生交换上，因为我们相信，未来显然掌握在我们两国的年轻人手中。而我们越是能够增进交流和理解以及相互信任，就越对不仅两国关系、而且对我们两国各自有益。我们必须大大超越与外交官、记者、领导人或企业家对话的范畴。对学生和其他年轻人而言，没有什么比努力在我们之间建立一个交流结构来得更重要。

Now, we’ve made tremendous progress since 2010. We’ve already expanded study abroad programs. We’ve supported scholarship funds to help American students from underserved communities study in China. We’ve worked with Education USA to provide tools and resources for Chinese students seeking to study here. And the number of students coming between our two countries continues to grow. But we still have a lot of room for improvement.

自20xx年以来，我们已经取得了巨大的进展。我们扩大了海外留学计划。我们为奖学金提供了支持，帮助来自缺少机会的社区的美国学生到中国学习。我们与美国教育咨询中心合作，为中国学生提供来这里学习的手段和资源。我们两国间互往的学生人数持续增长。但是，我们仍然有很多改进的余地。

So I’m happy today that we’re launching a permanent, independent nonprofit organization focused not only on our goal of 100,000 American students in China by 2014, but on continuing to strengthen the student exchanges for years to come. And I’m so grateful to all of our State Department partners who are here today who have helped put the 100,000 Strong Foundation together.

因此，我今天很高兴看到我们将成立一个永久性的、独立的非营利性组织，不仅致力于到20xx年使美国学生在中国留学人数达到10万的目标，而且将不断在未来岁月中增进学生交换。我在此衷心感谢今天在座的曾帮助共同创立―10万人留学中国计划基金会‖的国务院的所有合作伙伴。

As I think back on the four years that I’ve been privileged to serve as Secretary of State, there are moments that just jump out of my memory bank. And one of them is when I finally got to our at the Shanghai Expo, which, as a number of you know, I am very proud to be called the mother of whenever I go to China because of the circumstances in which it was birthed. (Laughter.) But when I did get there for this magnificent expo that had been built up with pavilions from around the world and a magnificent Chinese pavilion, I was thrilled that the main attraction of our

USA Pavilion were American students who had been studying Chinese, who were our designated hosts and greeters.

回顾过去四年我有幸担任国务卿的岁月，有些时刻会立即显现在眼前。其中之一是，在我抵达我们在上海世博会的展馆——此事你们不少人都知道——每当我到访中国——由于展馆诞生的经历——我都会被冠以妈妈的称呼（笑声）。但是当我确实到了那里，参观那个建有世界各地展馆和一座宏伟的中国馆的世博会时，让我感到极其兴奋的是，我们美国馆最吸引人的是那些一直在学汉语的美国学生，他们是我们指定的展馆接待员和礼宾员。

And I had the best time watching long lines of Chinese citizens who were coming to see our pavilion like they had been coming to see all of the pavilions looking surprised when some little African American girl would come up and start talking to them in Chinese, or some big tall Hispanic youngster would give them directions about how to go through the pavilion, or some other child – child; I’m so old, they’re all children – (laughter) – but some other student would come up and say something similar. And it was wonderful to watch the interchange. And I talked to some of the students. ―Where were you from?‖ ―Oh, from LA.‖ ―Where are you from?‖ ―Oh, from New York City.‖ And so many of these young people were first-generation college students in America who had just become taken with China, and so they were studying Chinese and now they were there as official representatives of the United States Government.

观看排长队等候参观我国展馆的中国人是让我非常开心的经历，那些前来参观所有展馆的人在看到一位非洲裔美国小女孩走上前去开始用汉语同他们说话时一脸惊讶，或某个高大的西班牙裔小伙子为他们指路，告诉他们如何在展馆里参观，或其他哪个孩子——孩子，因为我这么大年纪，所以他们都是些孩子（笑声）——某个学生会走上来，说些类似的事情。目睹这些交流真是好极了。我同其中的一些学生聊起来。―你从哪里来？‖―哦，洛杉矶。‖―你从哪里来？‖―哦，纽约市。‖这些年轻人中，有许多是刚刚被中国吸引的美国第一代大学生，他们正在学习汉语，而此刻他们成了美国政府在那里的正式代表。

I say that because that’s what we want to see more of. We want to see Chinese youngsters here, American youngsters in China, and we want to see them breaking down the barriers that exist between any peoples from different cultures and experiences and histories and backgrounds. And I think that will happen because in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago, young people in both China and the United States are global citizens. They are communicating with new tools of technology that were not even dreamt of a decade ago. And so they are already building cyber or Internet relationships, and we want to give them a chance to form the real deal – getting to know each other, getting to understand each other.

我说这些，是因为这就是我们希望能更多看到的情况。我们希望在这里看到中国的年轻人，而在中国能看到美国的年轻人，我们希望他们能够打破任何存在于不同文化、经历、历史、背景的人之间的障碍。我认为这会实现，因为中美两国的年轻人已经以仅在短短几年前还不可想象的方式变成全球公民。他们在用十年前想都想不到的新技术工具进行交流。因此他们已经在建立网际或因特网关系了，而我们希望给他们一个机会去形成一种货真价实的关系——相互认识，相互理解。

So I’m thrilled that we’re announcing this foundation. I thank everyone here at the State Department and all of our partners who are making this possible. And I’m also very excited because this is a perfect example of a public-private partnership, and nobody does it better than the United States. We really are good at this because we have a long tradition of understanding that we have to have both government action and government involvement, but where most of life takes place in our country is not there; it’s outside of government. It’s in these other institutions –

colleges and universities, foundations and philanthropies, individual efforts of all kind. So we are deeply grateful that you have understood our vision for 100,000 Strong and are making it a reality. 所以我们宣布这个基金会的成立让我特别高兴。我感谢国务院在座各位以及所有促成此事的所有合作伙伴。另一个令我兴奋的原因是，这是政府-民间伙伴关系的一个完美实例，没有谁比美国做得更好。这一点的确是我们所擅长的，因为我们有着悠久的传统，即理解我们必须既有政府行动也有政府参与，但我国的大部分生活并不在政府范畴内，而是在政府之外，是在其他机制中——高等院校、基金会和慈善机构，以及通过个人的种种努力。因此，我们对于你们理解我们的―10万人留学中国计划‖愿景并正在使其成为现实深表感谢。

And with that, let me turn it back to Assistant Secretary Campbell. Thank you all. (Applause.) 就此，让我把话筒还给助理国务卿坎贝尔。谢谢大家（掌声）。

《风雨哈佛路》Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story 讲述了一个女孩与命运抗争的故事：莉丝出生在纽约的贫民窟，在毒品、艾滋、饥饿充斥的环境中度过童年，家庭破裂她流落街头。无处安身的莉丝常在地铁站、走廊里学习、睡觉，她用两年的时间完成了4年的课程，并获得―《纽约时报》一等奖学金‖，以优异的成绩进入哈佛大学。面对逆境与绝望，她不屈服的勇者精神令人动容。

Liz Murray 演讲内容精选：

I don't know. I don’t know how long can you know that there is something bigger for you, and yet you ignore that.

我不知道。我不知道你要多久才能知道你有很重要的事要做，而你却仍旧忽视它。

Don’t we do that? We tell ourselves what? I’m gonna take on a bigger picture in myself, I really will my career, relationship, health.

我们不这样吗？我们不是这样告诉自己吗？我真得对我的人生有个大计划，我真的会好好工作，好好处理人际管理，好好保持健康。

When? Later! Right?

什么时候呢？以后吧！是吗？

We always do this. I am. I just can’t because I’m busy right now, and we get so wrapped up in the moment we make this promise to ourselves later.

我们经常这么做。我是这样的。我可以做，只是我现在很忙。我们作出这样的反应，然后我们对自己保证―以后……‖。

I pushed away school to later. I pushed away taking, stepping into my life in the biggest sense. I push that away later. And when you push that away, you’ll push away even the most important things.

我推后了上学的时间，也推后了开始有意义的人生的时间。我把这件事拖后得太晚了。当你这样做时，你也会把最重要的事都拖后。

Cause I sat on my friend’s coaches and I realized they were complaining, and complaining and complaining, and I sat down and I said to myself. You know what, and I just stood up and look at my friends and say, ―Guess what guys, I don’t know where I’m sleeping tonight, one of your houses maybe, maybe outside. I don’t know what I’m gonna eat, I don’t have... I don’t have... I don’t have...

所以我坐在我朋友的沙发上，我意识到，他们一直在抱怨、抱怨，不断地抱怨。我坐下对自己说。然后，你们知道吗，我站起来看着我的朋友，我说：―伙计们，你们猜怎么着，我不知道我今晚应该睡哪，也许住你们家，也许住外面。我不知道我该去哪吃饭，我没有这个……我没有那个……‖

―But you know what I do have: two hands and two feet. I have a brain in my head and air in my

lungs, and what else do I really need?‖

―但是你知道，我自己有手有脚，我有大脑，我还在呼吸，那我还需要其他什么东西吗？‖ Like what else do you really need to begin a today to lead the life you know you are meant to lead? You know in your heart what it is. And what more do you need to change before you step into that? I stood up, and I looked at them, and then next feeling which has been the biggest resource in my life since - ―gratitude‖.

你知道你想要什么样的生活，你要开始这样的生活，要做成这件事你难道还需要什么别的东西吗？。我站起来，看着他们，接下来我的感受是：感恩。这后来也成为了我人生中最强大的品质。

You can either pick one thing in life, resentment or gratitude, get on the side, I promise you. I looked at that moment and realized I may not have my mother ever again, but I had these resources. I had myself and I could go forward.

你可以选择靠愤恨或是靠感恩来生活，你务必要选择一个立场，我保证。那一刻，我意识到我再也没有妈妈了，但我有这么多精神力量，我有自己，我还可以继续向前走。

I remember that the feeling inside of me, and a need to change my life, and that voice at the back of my head - it took on the specific question, and the question was ―What if ...?‖

我记得我内心的感受，我知道我需要作出改变，我记得我背后有一个声音一直在问我一个同样的问题：―如果……？‖

You know that voice in the back of your head and said ―what if……‖? ―What if I tried that much harder?‖ ―What if I pushed one more time?‖ ―What if ...?‖ It’s the part of you that dreams.

你背后也出现过这样对你说―如果……‖的声音吗？―如果我再多努力一些呢？‖―如果我再努力试一次会怎么样？‖―如果……？‖这就是你内心还怀揣着的梦想。

A disempowered conversation will do a couple of things that will look for blame, and it’s concerned with the past. It’ll go, ―What happened before? Why didn’t it work out?‖ It will count what is not there.

让人失去动力的自我对话只会让你找个能责怪的人，这种对话永远只是关于过去的。对话里面只会说：―过去发生了什么？没什么没有成功？‖这种对话里只有虚的东西。

An empowered conversation is unconcerned with blame. It simply says, ―what’s next?‖ and it steps forward with a willingness to be responsible for what happens next. That is the difference between empowered and disempowered conversation. And I stood at that doorway and I knew nothing in my history took away from the fact that I still had a choice.

让人有动力的自我对话中不会出现你想要责怪的人。对话里只是说：―接下来怎么办？‖并且你会为接下来发生的事情负责任。这就是让人有动力的自我对话和让人没有动力的对话之间的区别。我站在门铃前，我知道，我过去所有的经历都不会剥夺这个事实，那就是我还是有选择的。

Life is a miracle. You don’t have to be stuck in a situation that you are in. If there is something in your life that is holding you back, you have to identify what that is, because, I promise you, there is a way to break pasted.

人生就是一场奇迹。你不必受困于现在的处境。如果在你的生活中有些东西使你停滞不前，去认清那是什么。因为，我敢保证，必定会有一条出路。

I want you to identify that voice inside of yourself and begin to trust it. And ask yourself what is it that has been in my way and how do I unblock that? Dig deep inside.

我希望你能听从你内心的声音，相信这个声音。问问你自己，是什么在阻挡我前进？我应该怎么跨过这个障碍？更深地挖掘自己的内心。

Life does not wait for anyone, and your life isn’t later. Your life is right now.

人生不会等待任何人，你也不生活在―以后‖。你就活在现在。

Mr. Speaker, Leader Reid, Leader McConnell, Leader Pelosi, Assistant Leader Clyburn; to the friends and family of Rosa Parks; to the guests who are gathered here today.

议长先生、（参议院多数党）领袖里德、（参议院少数党）领袖麦康奈尔、（众议院少数党）领袖佩洛西、（众议院少数党）助理领袖克莱伯恩、罗莎-帕克斯的朋友和家人以及今天聚集此地的贵宾们：

This morning, we celebrate a seamstress, slight in stature but mighty in courage. She the odds, and she defied injustice. She lived a life of activism, but also a life of dignity and grace. And in a single moment, with the simplest of gestures, she helped change America -- and change the world.

今天早上，我们纪念一位身材瘦小，但勇气巨大的女裁缝。她不畏逆境，反抗不公。她的一生是献身社会行动的一生，同时也是保持尊严与风姿的一生。她在顷刻之间，以最简单的姿态帮助改变了美国——也改变了世界。

Rosa Parks held no elected office. She no fortune; lived her life far from the formal seats of power. And yet today, she takes her rightful place among those who’ve shaped this nation’s course. I thank all those persons, in particular the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, both past and present, for making this moment possible. (Applause.)

罗莎-帕克斯没有担任过民选公职。也不曾拥有财富，她的生活与权位相距甚远。然而今天，她在塑造了美国发展历程的人物中，占据了应有的一席之地。我感谢所有使这一时刻成为可能的人，尤其是国会黑人核心小组——它过去和现在的成员。（掌声）

A childhood friend once said about Mrs. Parks, ―Nobody ever bossed Rosa around and got away with it.‖ (Laughter.) That’s what an Alabama driver learned on December 1, 1955. Twelve years earlier, he had kicked Mrs. Parks off his bus simply because she entered through the front door when the back door was too crowded. He grabbed her sleeve and he pushed her off the bus. It made her mad enough, she would recall, that she avoided riding his bus for a while.

一位儿时的朋友曾这样形容帕克斯夫人：―从来没有人可以对罗莎-帕克斯颐指气使而逍遥无事。‖（笑声）这也正是一位阿拉巴马州司机在19xx年12月1日所领会的。在那之前12年，他曾将帕克斯夫人赶下他的公交车，原因只是她在后门太拥挤时从前门上车。他抓住她的袖子，将她推下车。她后来回忆说，她如此气愤以致有好一段时间不乘他的车。

And when they met again that winter evening in 1955, Rosa Parks would not be pushed. When the driver got up from his seat to insist that she give up hers, she would not be pushed. When he threatened to have her arrested, she simply replied, ―You may do that.‖ And he did.

当他们于19xx年那个冬天的晚上再次相遇时，罗莎-帕克斯是不会任人摆布的。当司机从他的座位上起身，坚持要她让座时，她不为所动。当他威胁要将她逮捕时，她只回答说：―悉听尊便。‖司机果真如此行事。

A few days later, Rosa Parks challenged her arrest. A little-known pastor, new to town and only 26 years old, stood with her -- a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. So did thousands of Montgomery, Alabama commuters. They began a -- teachers and laborers, clergy and domestics, through rain and cold and sweltering heat, day after day, week after week, month after month, walking miles if they had to, arranging carpools where they could, not thinking about the blisters on their feet, the weariness after a full day of work -- walking for respect, walking for freedom, driven by a solemn determination to affirm their God-given dignity.

几天后，罗莎-帕克斯对被捕提出异议。一位鲜为人知的牧师——刚到城里不久，只有26岁——挺身支持她，这人就是马丁-路德-金。数千名阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利市乘客也对她表示支持。他们开始联合罢乘——教师和工人、教士和家佣，顶风冒雨，不畏严寒酷暑，日复一日，周复一周，月复一月，如果有必要就步行数里，如果有可能就安排拼车，不顾脚上的水泡，不顾整日劳作后的疲惫——为尊严而步行，为自由而步行，维护他们天赋尊严的庄严决心在鼓励他们向前。

Three hundred and eighty-five days after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, the boycott ended. Black men and women and children re-boarded the buses of Montgomery, newly desegregated, and sat in whatever seat happen to be open. (Applause.) And with that victory, the entire edifice of , like the ancient walls of Jericho, began to slowly come tumbling down.

在罗莎-帕克斯拒绝让座385天后，罢乘行动宣告结束。黑人男子、妇女和儿童重新乘坐废除了种族隔离的蒙哥马利市公交车，任意坐任何空座位。（掌声）随着这场胜利，整座种族隔离的大厦，像杰里科的古老城墙一样，开始慢慢地坍塌。

It’s been often remarked that Rosa Parks’s activism didn’t begin on that bus. Long before she made headlines, she had stood up for freedom, stood up for equality -- fighting for voting rights, rallying against in the criminal justice system, serving in the local chapter of the NAACP. Her quiet leadership would continue long after she became an icon of the civil rights movement, working with Congressman Conyers to find homes for the homeless, preparing disadvantaged youth for a path to success, striving each day to right some wrong somewhere in this world.

人们常说，罗莎-帕克斯的社会行动并非开始于那辆公交车。早在成为新闻人物之前，她就曾为自由、为平等挺身而出——为争取投票权奋斗，为反对刑事司法系统中的歧视呼吁，为全国有色人种协进会的地方分会服务。她那无声的带头作用在她成为民权运动的象征后长久持续——与国会议员科尼尔斯一道为无家可归者寻找住处，帮助弱势青少年踏上成功之路，每天都在为纠正世界某处的某种不公正而奋斗。

And yet our minds fasten on that single moment on the bus -- Ms. Parks alone in that seat, clutching her purse, staring out a window, waiting to be arrested. That moment tells us something about how change happens, or doesn’t happen; the choices we make, or don’t make. ―For now we see through a glass, darkly,‖ Scripture says, and it’s true. Whether out of inertia or selfishness, whether out of fear or a simple lack of moral imagination, we so often spend our lives as if in a fog, accepting injustice, rationalizing inequity, tolerating the intolerable.

然而，我们的记忆凝聚在公交车上的那个时刻——帕克斯女士独自坐在座位上，紧握提包，眼睛凝视窗外，等待被捕。那个时刻向我们显示了改变为什么会发生，或者不会发生；揭示着我们的选择，或是不选择。圣经说：―如今我们对着镜子观看，模糊不清。‖这是真的。无论出于惰性还是自私，无论出于恐惧或只是缺乏道德想象力，我们常常像生活在迷雾中，接受不公正、文饰不平等、容忍不可容忍的情形。

Like the bus driver, but also like the passengers on the bus, we see the way things are -- children hungry in a land of plenty, entire neighborhoods ravaged by violence, families by job loss or illness -- and we make excuses for inaction, and we say to ourselves, that's not my responsibility, there’s nothing I can do.

就像那位公交车司机，但也像公交车上的乘客，我们视一切习以为常——孩子们在鱼米之乡挨饿，整个社区被暴力蹂躏，家庭受累于失业和疾病——我们为无动于衷找借口，对自己说，那不是我的责任，我无能为力。

Rosa Parks tell us there’s always something we can do. She tells us that we all have

responsibilities, to ourselves and to one another. She reminds us that this is how change happens -- not mainly through the exploits of the famous and the powerful, but through the countless acts of often courage and kindness and fellow feeling and responsibility that continually, stubbornly, expand our conception of justice -- our conception of what is possible.

罗莎-帕克斯告诉我们，我们总能有所作为。她告诉我们，我们每个人都有责任，对自己，也对他人。她提醒我们，改变是这样到来的——不是主要靠名人权势的丰功伟绩，而是通过无数往往默默无闻的富于勇气、仁慈、手足情和责任感的行动，这些行动在持续地、不屈不饶地让我们拓宽正义的理念——和我们对可能性的认识。

Rosa Parks’s singular act of launched a movement. The tired feet of those who walked the dusty roads of Montgomery helped a nation see that to which it had once been blind. It is because of these men and women that I stand here today. It is because of them that our children grow up in a land more free and more fair; a land truer to its founding creed.

罗莎-帕克斯独自一人的抵制行动引发了一场运动。那些在蒙哥马利市尘土飞扬的街道上行走的疲惫脚步，帮助一个国家看清了它曾经视而不见的情景。正是因为这些男女公民，我今天才站在这里。正是因为他们，我们的孩子才能在一片更加自由、更加公平的土地上成长；一片现在更忠实于其创始理念的土地。

And that is why this statue belongs in this hall -- to remind us, no matter how humble or lofty our positions, just what it is that leadership requires; just what it is that citizenship requires. Rosa Parks would have turned 100 years old this month. We do well by placing a statue of her here. But we can do no greater honor to her memory than to carry forward the power of her principle and a courage born of .

而这正是这座雕像屹立于这座大厅的原因——它让我们看到，无论我们的地位如何卑微或高贵，这才是领导作用的内涵；公民责任的内涵。这个月是罗莎-帕克斯诞辰100周年。我们在这里落成她的雕像恰逢其时。但是，将她的原则力量和源自信念的勇气发扬光大才是对她的最好纪念。

May God bless the memory of Rosa Parks, and may God bless these United States of America. (Applause.)

愿上帝保佑对罗莎-帕克斯的怀念，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。（掌声）

Through events around the world, we are now marking 1,000 days to achieving the Development Goals. The MDGs are the most successful global anti-poverty push in history. World poverty has been cut in half. More girls are in school. Child has dropped. We are fighting killer diseases. The list goes on. But, too many women still die in childbirth, when we have the means to save them. Too many communities still lack access to . Too many families are still being left behind. We have 1,000 days to close the gaps -- 1,000 days to accelerate action.

在世界各地，我们正举办活动来迎接实现千年发展目标1000天倒计时。千年发展目标是有史以来最为成功的全球消除贫穷推进项目。世界贫困人口已减少了一半，越来越多的女童步入校园，儿童死亡率有所下降，我们正与致命疾病抗争，我可以列举更多，然而，虽然现在我们有不错的医疗条件，但仍有太多的妇女在分娩中死亡，太多的社区仍然缺乏卫生设施，太多的家庭仍处于落后状态，我们还有1000天来缩小这些差距，还有1000天来加快行动。 Here are four ways to step-up our efforts.

有四种方式向我们的目标迈进。

First, scale up success through strategic, targeted investments -- in health, education, energy and sanitation. Above all, by empowering women and girls who can boost results in all other areas. 首先，要争取扩大成功范围，通过有针对性的战略投资来完成，主要在健康、教育、能源和卫生等领域，尤其是通过赋权妇女和女童以提高所有其他领域的表现。

Second, focus on the poorest and most countries that are finding it most difficult to make progress despite their best efforts.

第二，着眼于最贫穷和最脆弱的国家，是那些最难取得进展的国家，尽管已竭尽全力仍很贫穷的国家进步。

Third, keep our fiscal promises. These are difficult budgetary times. But we cannot balance budgets on the backs of the most vulnerable.

第三，信守我们的财政承诺，即使在这预算紧缺时期，也不能通过这些国家来平衡我们的预算，因此加重最脆弱国家的负担。

Fourth, let us re-energize the global movement from governments to the that has made such a difference.

第四，让我们赋予这项全球运动新活力，从政府到基层，一起来改变世界。

Action now will improve lives and add as we look beyond 2015 to the challenges of sustainable development. The MDGs have helped unite, inspire and change the world. In the next 1,000 days, let us give 1,000 percent.

现在就采取行动将能改善生计，为实现目标推波助澜。当我们放远视野超越20xx年直面可持续发展的挑战，千年发展目标让我们团结起来，激励并改变着这个世界。在未来1000天的日子里，让我们1000%地全力以赴。

Thank you.

谢谢！

Mrs. Thatcher＇s Farewell Speech

撒切尔夫人离职演讲

Blackpool 1985

布莱克浦 19xx年

Government apart，the strength of a civilized nation depends on the natural authority of the family，the school，the church and our great institutions. Who is to answer the child crying for help？Who is to protect the elderly couple？Who can win back the youngster hooked on drugs？Police，social workers，the voluntary organizations all must do respond. But that is not enough. We are the neighbors of that child，of that elderly couple，of that youngster. Upholding the law can't be left to the police and the courts alone. We are all involved. We can not pass by on the other side． 一个文明国家，其力量不仅在于政府，还在于家庭、学校、教会和我们优越制度的天赋权威。谁来回应无助哭泣的儿童？谁来保护年迈体衰的夫妇？谁能挽救沉溺毒品的青年？警察、社工、志愿组织责无旁贷，但不能仅此而已。我们与孩子、老人、青年比邻而居。维护法制，不只是警察和法庭的责任。我们人人休戚相关。我们不能置身其外。

Come with us then towards the next decade. Let us together set our sights on a Britain that three out of four families own their homes，that owning shares is as common as having a car，where families have a degree of independence their forefathers could only dream about：a Britain where there is a of enterprise，of more people selfemployed，more businesses and therefore more jobs；a Britain where there is a standard health care far better than anything we have ever known.

共赴未来10年，让我们共同展望：在英国，四分之三的家庭拥有住房，股票像轿车一样遍及大众，先人梦寐以求的独立在一定程度上得以实现；在英国，企业重振雄风，人们自主创业，商业繁荣，就业增加；在英国，医疗保健规范完善，前所未闻。

Yes！We have set our sights high，but these goals are within our reach. Let us ensure that we'll bring them within our grasp.

诚然！我们雄心勃勃，但目标并非遥不可及。让我们确信，我们必将使之近在身边、得以实现。

In the past eight years something has changed in Britain，perhaps the most important change for a generation. Quite simply，it is a change of the spirit. People all over Britain are finding a new confidence and a new pride．The Conservative Government didn't create that spirit. It's the true spirit of the British people. What we did was just set it free．We were determined to give people back the incentive to work and the confidence to save．That’s why we have to cut inflations：that’s why we would determine to take power from the trade union bosses and give it back to Union members；and that's why we abolished a whole mass of controls，and we stopped government trying to run businesses，which is something politicians have never been much good at. So we them. The manager is managed，the workers shared in the ownership and the industries turned from losses into profit. As a result of all this，the living standards in this country are the highest there have ever been. Britain really is a country again and his prosperity is spreading steadily through the Community.

过去8年，英国发生了变迁，这一变迁对于当代或许尤为重要。简而言之，这一变迁即精神的革新。英国举国上下正致力探寻一种新的自信、自豪的精神。这种精神不是保守党政府的发明创造，而是英国人民的真正思想。我们所做的只是使其释放。我们坚定不移地将工作动力和储蓄信心归还民众。所以，我们要降低通货膨胀；所以，我们让工会老板还权于民；所以，我们革除诸多桎桎梏，制止政府经商，因为这非其所长。所以，我们进行私有改造，使经理接受管理，工人分享所有权，企业扭亏为盈。其结果是，人民生活水平得以空前提高。英国再次真正成为一个国家，其繁荣向整个欧共体稳步延伸。

Thirty years ago only thirty people in a hundred owned their own homes. Today it's sixty-five in every hundred.

30年前，有房者只占30%，如今这一数字达到65％。

It's always the dream and the of the Conservative Party that what used to be the luxuries of the few should become the daily experience，indeed the necessity of the many．It's happening with homes：it’s happening with shares，and it is happening with savings. And the result has been a greater prosperity. It's not only our standard of living that has increased，it means we’ve been able to put greater resources into health and social security，but you can only do that when you first created the .And all this has been achieved by government and people together，the government running things well，like any good housekeeper and the people responding，and that partnership is even more vital in keeping the law.

昔日少数人的奢侈品真正成为多数人日常生活的必需品，这始终是保守党人的梦想与希望。无论是房产股票，还是银行储蓄，这一希望都正变为现实。我们的国家日益繁荣。而只有促进繁荣，我们才能提高生活水平，才能加大对卫生和社会保障事业的投人。我们所取得的一切成就得益于政府与人民的齐心协力，得益于政府如同娴熟管家般的良好治理，得益于民众的积极响应。这一配合精神在维护法制方面尤为重要。

Yes！This government has increased the numbers of police and we will increase them still further.

There are more bobbies on the beat！taut crime is not a matter of the police alone. It never was. Police needs support from all of us. Indeed，the enemies of the British bobby are the enemies of liberty itself. The police served the rule of law impartially. They need our support. They deserve our trust.

的确，本届政府增加了警员编制，并将继续增加，包括a区警员数量。然而，打击犯罪从来都不只是警务部门的责任，他们需要公众的支持。毫无疑问，英国警察的敌人就是自由的敌人。警务人员秉公执法、大公无私，他们需要我们支持，他们值得我们信赖。

And there's one thing that only government can and must do. It must secure the country's defence，and in a nuclear age，that means we must have a nuclear . Winston Churchill，who knew so much about the dangers of weakness in appeasement，warned us thirty-five years ago. He said，be careful above all things，not to let go of the atomic weapon until you are sure and more than sure that other means of preserving peace are in your hands. For a government to surrender our nuclear deterrent will be an unprecedented act of folly that will put the nation in jeopardy. The nuclear deterrent has preserved peace in Europe for forty years.

政府所能做且必须做的事情只有一件，即确保国防安全。在核武器时代，这意味我们必须拥有核威慑力量。温斯顿·丘吉尔深谙绥靖政策的弊端与危害，早在35年前就曾告诫我们。他说，―要事事谨慎，除非确保并绝对确保手中握有其他维和的方法，否则绝不弃核。‖作为政府，放弃核威慑将是空前的愚行，并将使国家陷于危难。这一威慑力量已经使欧洲和平维持了40年之久。

And I believe peace is the heart of what we in Britain ask our government to safeguard. Peace in industry has enabled people to honour living without fear of intimidation or been called out on strike against their will and without a ballot. Peace of mind，that comes with knowing that this will continue to be a safe country，a good place for us to live and for our children to grow up in. Peace that comes from being independent and being able to run your life and spend your own money in your own way，above all，the peace of a country that is properly defended against any adversary，that's what this government and this people in partnership have been building for the past eight years．Yet all of it will vanish unless we preserve the economic strength，the strong defence and spirit of enterprise that have made us prosperous at home and respected throughout the world. It is that which is at issue on Thursday. Of course，we feel passionately about it because for us it is about the very heat and soul of Britain.

我相信，捍卫和平是英国人民要求政府工作的核心任务。工业和平维护人生尊严，免受威言恫吓之忧与强迫罢工选举之苦。心境和平意指知晓无论对人民生活还是儿童成长，我们都将继续作为一个安全的国度和良好的居所而存在。和平来自独立，来自按自己的方式生活消费。总之，维护国家和平就要彻底防御外敌，这也正是本届政府与人民在过去8年同心同德所取得的成就。然而，只有继续保持经济实力、巩固国防力量、促进进取精神，这些成就才不会付诸东流，正是它们使我们赢得了国内的繁荣和世界的尊重。这也是本周四即将探讨的话题。的确，对这一话题我们深有感慨，因为它关乎英国真正的精神与灵魂。
