胜利必将属于我们 – 美国国会演讲

宋美龄

19xx年2月18日

议长先生，美国参议院各位议员，各位女士、先生，受到诸位所代表的美国人民热情与真诚的欢迎，令我感动莫名。我事先不知今天要在参议员发表演说，只以为要到此说声"大家好，很高兴见到各位"，并向贵国人民转达敝国百姓的问候之意。不过，在来到此地之前，贵国副总统告诉我，他希望我和各位说几句话。

我并不善于即席演说，事实上根本称不上是演说家，但我不会因此怯场，因为前几天我在海德公园参观过总统图书馆，在那里看见一些东西鼓动了我，让我感觉各位或许不会对我的即席演说要求太多。

各位知道我在那里见到什么吗？我看到了许多，但最让我感兴趣的，莫过于一个放着总统先生（译注：即罗斯福总统）演说草稿的玻璃箱，里头从第一份草稿，第二份草稿，一直到第六份草稿。昨天，我碰巧向总统先生提及此事，我说倭很高兴知道，以他如次知名又公认的演说家，还必须写这么多份草稿。他回答说，有时他一次演说得写12份草稿。因此，今天本人在此发表的即席演说，我确信各位一定会包容。

贵国和敝国之间有着160年悠久历史的情谊，我觉得贵国人民和敝国百姓有许许多多的相似点，而这些相似点正是两国情谊的基础，我也相信并非只有我有这样的感觉。

在此，我想说个小故事，来说明此一信念。

杜利特尔将军和部下一起去轰炸东京，回程时有些美国子弟兵不得不在中国内陆跳伞，其中一人后来告诉我，他被迫从飞机跳伞，踏上中国的土地时，看到当地居民跑向他，他就挥着手，喊出他会说的唯一中国话："美国。美国"，也就是"美利坚"的意思，（掌声）美国在中国话的意思是"美丽的国家"。这个大男孩说，敝国人民听了都笑起来，拥抱他，像欢迎失散多年的兄弟一般。他还告诉我说，当他看到我们的人民，感觉 他已经回到了家；而那是他第一次来到中国。（掌声）

蒋夫人致辞：

议长先生，贵国的参议院议员，女士先生们，（感谢诸位的到来）。

贵国人民自发的热情接待让我感到受宠无限，而在坐诸位是全美国人民的代表。我事先不知今天要在参议院发表演说，只以为要到此说声"大家好，很高兴见到各位".受国人之拖，我将中国人民的问候带给贵国的人民。 不过，在来到此地之前，贵国副总统告诉我，他希望我和各位说几句话。

我不善于即兴演讲，确切地说，我根本不是个演讲者。但我并不沮丧，因为几天前，我在海德公园，有幸参观了总统先生的书库。我所看到的一个情景鼓舞了我，让我做了这样的心里准备：也许在座各位对我的演讲并不报过多的期望。你猜我在那里读到什么了呢？我读到了许多东西。但是，最吸引我的是在总统先生的玻璃柜中，放了一张总统先生的演说词的初稿，在上面，我又见到了第二初稿，直到第六张。昨天，我无意中向总统先生提起这件事，并告诉他，我松了一口气，因为作为一个世界知名的演说家，尚且要准备这么多的手稿。他回答我说，一些时候，他甚至准备过12张演讲初稿。因此，希望各位对我的即席演说，在评价前能给予宽容的心态。

贵国与我国的传统友谊已有160多年的历史。我认为，我也相信，诸位和我一样，认识到美中两国人民有着极大的相同之处，而正是这些相似之处奠定了我们友谊的基础。

我要给各位讲一个小故事，将说明这一信念。当General Doolittle 和他的部下前往东京作战时，在他们返航的途中，一些战士逃往到我

国的土地上避难。后来，其中的一个人告诉我，在向本国船只求就无效后，他来到了我国的土地上。我国人民见到了他，跑了过来。他挥舞着手臂，口里喊着他唯一知晓的两个中国汉字“美国，美国”，指的就是“America”（掌声）。

在我国，这两个字的字面意思是“美丽的地方”。这个孩子说，我的国民听到他那有趣的发音后大笑了起来，并拥抱着欢迎他，好似找到了失去已久的兄弟。后来，他又告诉我，见到了我国热情的人民，他好似回到了家一样安心和温暖。但是，这却是他第一次踏上中国的土地。（掌声）

1943 Mr. President, Members of the Senate of the United States, ladies and gentlemen, I am overwhelmed by the warmth and spontaneity of the welcome of the American people, of whom you are the representatives. I did not know that I was to speak to you today at the Senate except to say, “How do you do? I am so very glad to see you,” and to bring the greetings to my people to the people of America. However, just before coming here, the Vice President told me that he would like to have me say a few words to you. I am not a very good extemporaneous speaker; in fact, I am no speaker at all; but I am not so very much discouraged, because a few days ago I was at Hyde Park, and went to the President?s library. Something I saw there encouraged me, and made me feel that perhaps you will not expect overmuch of me in speaking to you extemporaneously. What do you think I saw there? I saw many things. But the one thing which interested me most of all was that in a glass case there was the first draft of tone of the President?s speeches, a second draft, and on and on up to the sixth draft. Yesterday I happened to mention this fact to the President, and told him that I was extremely glad that he had to write so many drafts when he is such a well-known and acknowledgedly fine speaker.

Members of the Congress of the United States: At any time it would be a privilege for me to address Congress, more especially this present august body which will have so much to do in shaping the destiny of the world. In speaking to Congress I am literally speaking to the American people. The Seventy-seventh Congress, as their representatives, fulfilled the obligations and responsibilities of its trust by declaring war on the aggressors. That part of the duty of the people’s representatives was discharged in 1941. The task now confronting you is to help win the war and to create and uphold a lasting peace which will justify the sacrifices and sufferings of the victims of aggression.

美国众议院诸位议员： 无论何时，余得向贵国国会致词，实属荣幸；尤在今日，余得向一庄严伟大之团体，对于世界命运之形成有绝大影响如贵院者致词，尤属特别荣幸。余向贵国国会演说，实际上系向美国人民演说。贵国第七十七届国会，以代表美国人民之资格，对侵略者宣战，已尽其人民所信托之义务与责任。此为人民代表之一部分职责，早已在一九四一年履行。诸君当前之要务，乃协助争取胜利，并创建与维护一种永久之和平，俾此次遭受侵略者之一切牺牲与痛苦，具有意义。

宋美龄美国演说词（19xx年）

选自美国国会记录第1080～1081页

我来到贵国时是个小女孩，我熟悉贵国人民，我和他们一起生活过。我生命中成长的岁月是和贵国人民一起度过的。我说你们的话，我想的和你们一样，说的也和你们一样。所以今天来到这里，我也感觉到我好像回到家了（掌声）。
