[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:]聽力課堂 pm4x.cn [00:05.48]Rejoicing in Hope, Patient in Tribulation [00:08.98]By John Fitzgerald Kennedy [00:12.47]We observe today not a victory of party [00:14.66]but a celebration of freedom — [00:16.41]symbolizing an end as well as a beginning — [00:19.36]signifying renewal as well as change. [00:22.65]We dare not forget today that [00:25.05]we are the heirs of that first revolution. [00:27.35]Let the word go forth from this time and place, [00:30.52]to friend and foe alike, [00:32.60]that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, [00:36.31]born in this century, [00:38.28]tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, [00:42.11]proud of our ancient heritage, [00:44.74]and unwilling to witness [00:46.26]or permit the slow undoing of those human rights [00:49.11]to which this nation has always been committed, [00:51.30]and to which we are committed today [00:53.26]at home and around the world. [00:55.35]Let every nation know, [00:58.74]whether it wishes us well or ill, [01:00.60]that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, [01:03.76]meet any hardship, support any friend, [01:07.59]oppose any foe to assure the survival [01:10.76]and the success of liberty. [01:13.17]This much we pledge — and more. [01:17.55]In your hands, my fellow citizens, [01:19.40]more than mine, [01:20.71]will rest the final success or failure of our course. [01:23.78]Since this country was founded, [01:26.73]each generation of Americans has been summoned [01:29.57]to give testimony to its national loyalty. [01:32.20]The graves of young Americans [01:34.39]who answered the call to service surround the globe. [01:37.44]Now the trumpet summons us again, [01:40.40]not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; [01:43.90]not as a call to battle, though in battle we are; [01:47.62]but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, [01:51.77]year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, [01:54.18]patient in tribulation, [01:55.71]a struggle against the common enemies of man: [01:58.77]tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. [02:05.55]In the long history of the world, [02:07.30]only a few generations have been granted [02:08.94]the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. [02:12.44]I do not shrink from this responsibility — [02:15.18]I welcome it. The energy, the faith, the devotion [02:19.23]which we bring to this endeavor [02:20.64]will light our country and all who serve it — [02:22.72]and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. [02:25.78]And so, my fellow Americans: [02:28.74]ask not what your country can do for you — [02:31.47]ask what you can do for your country. [02:34.64]My fellow citizens of the world: [02:37.38]ask not what America will do for you, [02:40.00]but what together we can do for the freedom of man. [02:43.50]Finally, whether you are citizens of America [02:47.66]or citizens of the world, [02:49.41]ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice [02:53.46]which we ask of you. [02:54.87]With a good conscience⒂ our only sure reward, [02:58.26]with history the final judge of our deeds, [03:00.99]let us go forth to lead the land we love, [03:03.73]asking His blessing and His help, [03:06.36]but knowing that here on earth [03:08.22]God’s work must truly be our own.

激情晨讀英語美文 第七章 追隨你的夢想:在希望中歡樂，在磨難中忍耐

We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning; signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.

今天我們慶祝的不是政黨的勝利，而是自由的勝利。這象征著一個結束，也象征著一個開端；意味著延續(xù)也意味看變革。因為我已在你們和全能的上帝面前，宣讀了我們的先輩在170多年前擬定的莊嚴誓言。

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

公民們，我們方針的最終成敗與其說掌握在我手中，不如說掌握在你們手中。自從合眾國建立以來，每一代美國人都曾受到召喚去證明他們對國家的忠誠。響應召喚而獻身的美國青年的墳墓遍及全球。

Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation"，a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

現(xiàn)在，號角已再次吹響---不是召喚我們拿起武器，雖然我們需要武器；不是召喚我們去作戰(zhàn)，雖然我們嚴陣以待。它召喚我們?yōu)橛永杳鞫缲撈鹇L斗爭的重任，年復一年，從希望中得到歡樂，在磨難中保持耐性，對付人類共同的敵人---專制、社團、疾病和戰(zhàn)爭本身。

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

為反對這些敵人，確保人類更為豐裕的生活，我們能夠組成一個包括東西南北各方的全球大聯(lián)盟嗎？你們愿意參加這一歷史性的努力嗎？

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

在漫長的世界歷史中，只有少數幾代人在自由處于最危急的時刻被賦予保衛(wèi)自由的責任。我不會推卸這一責任，我歡迎這一責任。我不相信我們中間有人想同其他人或其他時代的人交換位置。我們?yōu)檫@一努力所奉獻的精力、信念和忠誠，將照亮我們的國家和所有為國效勞的人，而這火焰發(fā)出的光芒定能照亮全世界。

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

因此，美國同胞們，不要問國家能為你們做些什么、而要問你們能為國家做些什么。

My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

全世界的公民們，不要問美國將為你們做些計人，而要問我們共同能為人類的自由做些什么。

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own.

最后，不論你們是美國公民還是其他國家的公民，你們應要求我們獻出我們同樣要求于你們的高度力量和犧牲。問心無愧是我們唯一可靠的獎賞，歷史是我們行動的最終裁判，讓我們走向前去，引導我們所熱愛的國家。我們祈求上帝的福佑和幫助，但我們知道，確切地說，上帝在塵世的工作必定是我們自己的工作。
