1、富兰克林·罗斯福英语励志演讲稿The nly thing we have t fear is fear itself nameless, unreasning, unjustified terrr,which paralyzes needed effrts t cnvert retreat int advance.我们唯一害怕的 是害怕本身这种难以名状、失去理智和毫无道理的恐惧，把人转退为进所需的种种努力化为泡影。President Hver, Mister Chief Justice, my friends:胡佛总统，首席法官先生，朋友们：This is a day f natin

2、al cnsecratin, and I am certain that n this day, my fellw Americansepect that n my inductin in the Presidency I will address them with a candr and adecisin which the present situatin f ur peple impels.

S first f all, let me epress my firm belief that the nly thing wehave t fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasning, unjustified terrr, which paralyzes neededeffrts t cnvert retreat i

4、nt advance. In every dark hur f ur natinal life, a leadership ffrankness and vigr has met with that understanding and supprt f the peple themselves,which is essential t victry. And I am cnvinced that yu will again give that supprt tleadership in these critical days.今天，对我们的国家来说，是一个神圣的日子。我肯定，同胞们都期待我在就

5、任总统时，会像我国目前形势所要求的那样，坦率而果断地向他们讲话。现在正是坦白、勇敢地说出实话，说出全部实话的比较好时刻。我们不必畏首畏尾，不老老实实面对我国今天的情况。这个伟大的国家会一如既往地坚持下去，它会复兴和繁荣起来。因此，让我首先表明我的坚定信念：我们唯一不得不害怕的就是害怕本身-一种莫名其妙、丧失理智的、毫无根据的恐惧，它把人转退为进所需的种种努力化为泡影。凡在我国生活阴云密布的时刻，坦率而有活力的领导都得到过人民的理解和支持，从而为胜利准备了必不可少的条件。我相信，在目前危急时刻，大家会再次给予同样的支持。In such a spirit n my part and n yurs,

6、 we face ur cmmn difficulties. They cncern, thankGd, nly material things. Values have shrunken t fantastic levels; taes have risen, urability t pay has fallen; gvernment f all kinds is faced by serius curtailment f incme; themeans f echange are frzen in the currents f trade; the withered leaves f in

7、dustrialenterprise lie n every side; farmers find n markets fr their prduce, and the savings fmany years and thusands f families are gne.我和你们都要以这种精神，来面对我们共同的困难。感谢上帝，这些困难只是物质方面的。价值难以想象地贬缩了;课税增加了;我们的支付能力下降了;各级政府面临着严重的收入短缺;交换手段在贸易过程中遭到了冻结;工业企业枯萎的落叶到处可见;农场主的产品找不到销路;千家万户多年的积蓄付之东流。Mre imprtant, a hst f un

8、emplyed citizens face the grim prblem f eistence, and an equaland great number til with little return. nly a flish ptimist can deny the dark realities fthe mment.更重要的是，大批失业公民正面临严峻的生存问题，还有大批公民正以艰辛的劳动换取微薄的报酬。只有愚蠢的乐天派会否认当前这些阴暗的现实。And yet, ur distress cmes frm n failure f substance, we are stricken by n

9、 plague flcusts. Cmpared with the perils which ur frefathers cnquered, because they believed andwere nt afraid, we have s much t be thankful fr. Nature surrunds us with her bunty, andhuman effrts have multiplied it. Plenty is at ur drstep, but a generus use f it languishesin the very sight f the sup

10、ply. Primarily, this is because the rulers f the echange fmankinds gds have failed, thrugh their wn stubbrnness and their wn incmpetence,have admitted their failure and have abdicated. Practices f the unscrupulus mney changersstand indicted in the curt f public pinin, rejected by the hearts and mind

11、s f men.但是，我们的苦恼决不是因为缺乏物资。我们没有遭到什么蝗虫的灾害。我们的先辈曾以信念和无畏一次次转危为安，比起他们经历过的险阻，我们仍大可感到欣慰。大自然仍在给予我们恩惠，人类的努力已使之倍增。富足的情景近在咫尺，但就在我们见到这种情景的时候，宽裕的生活却悄然离去。这主要是因为主宰人类物资交换的统治者们失败了，他们固执己见而又无能为力，因而已经认定失败了，并撒手不管了。贪得无厌的货币兑换商的种种行径。将受到舆论法庭的起诉，将受到人类心灵理智的唾弃。True, they have tried, but their effrts have been cast in the patte

12、n f an utwrn traditin.Faced by a failure f credit, they have prpsed nly the lending f mre mney. Stripped fthe lure f prfit by which they induce ur peple t fllw their false leadership, they haveresrted t ehrtatin, pleading tearfully fr restred cnfidence. They nly knw the rulesf a generatin f self-see

13、kers. They have n visin, and when there is n visin, the pepleperish.是的，他们是努力过，然而他们用的是一种完全过时的方法。面对信贷的失败，他们只是提议借出更多的钱。没有了当诱饵引诱人民追随他们的错误领导的金钱，他们只得求助于讲道，含泪祈求人民重新给予他们信心。他们只知自我追求者们的处世规则。他们没有眼光，而没有眼光的人是要灭亡的。Yes, the mney changers have fled frm their high seats in the temple f ur civilizatin. Wemay nw restr

14、e that temple t the ancient truths. A measure f that restratin lies in theetent t which we apply re nble than mere mnetary prfits.如今，货币兑换商已从我们文明庙宇的高处落荒而逃。我们要以千古不变的真理来重建这座庙宇。衡量这重建的尺度是我们体现比金钱利益更高尚的社会价值的程度。Happiness lies nt in the mere pssessin f mney, it lies in the jy f achievement, in thethrill f cr

15、eative effrts, the jy and mral stimulatin f wrk n lnger must be frgtten inthe mad chase f evanescent prfits.These dark days, my friends, will be wrth all they cstus, if they teach us that ur true destiny is nt t be ministered n t, but t minister turselves, t ur fellw men.幸福并不在于单纯地占有金钱;幸福还在于取得成就后的喜悦，

16、在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励，而去疯狂地追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些暗淡的时日能使我们认识到，我们真正的天命不是要别人侍奉，而是为自己和同胞们服务，那么，我们付出的代价就完全是值得的。Recgnitin f the falsity f material wealth as the standard f success ges hand in hand withthe abandnment f a false belief that public ffice and high plitical psitin are t be valuednly by the sta

17、ndards f pride f place and persnal prfits, and there must be an end t urcnduct in banking and in business, which t ften has given t a sacred trust the likenessf callus and selfish wrng-ding. Small wnder that cnfidence languishes, fr it thrivesnly n hnesty, n hnr, n the sacredness f ur bligatin, n fa

18、ithful prtectin andn unselfish perfrmance. Withut them it cannt live.认识到把物质财富当作成功的标准是错误的，我们就会抛弃以地位尊严和个人收益为唯一标准，来衡量公职和高级政治地位的错误信念;我们必须制止银行界和企业界的一种行为，它常常使神圣的委托混同于无情和自私的不正当行为。难怪信心在减弱，信心，只有靠诚实、信誉、忠心维护和无私履行职责。而没有这些，就不可能有信心。Restratin calls, hwever, nt fr changes in ethics alne. This natin is asking fr act

19、in, andactin nw.但是，复兴不仅仅只要改变伦理观念。这个国家要求行动起来，现在就行动起来。ur greatest primary task is t put peple t wrk. This is n unslvable prblem if we take itwisely and curageusly. It can be accmplished in part by direct recruiting by thegvernment itself, treating the task as we wuld treat the emergency f a war, but a

20、t the sametime, thrugh this emplyment, accmplishing greatly needed prjects t stimulate andrerganize the usef ur great natural resurces.我们最大、最基本的任务是让人民投入工作。只要我信行之以智慧和勇气，这个问题就可以解决。这可以部分由政府直接征募完成，就象对待临战的紧要关头一样，但同时，在有了人手的情况下，我们还急需能刺激并重组巨大自然资源的工程。Hand in hand with that, we must frankly recgnize the verba

21、lance f ppulatin in urindustrial centers and by engaging n a natinal scale in a redistributin in an effrt tprvide better use f the land fr thse best fitted fr the land.我们齐心协力，但必须坦白地承认工业中心的人口失衡，我们必须在全国范围内重新分配，使土地在最适合的人手中发表挥更大作用。Yes the task can be helped by definite effrts t raise the value f the agr

22、icultural prduct andwith this the pwer t purchase the utput f ur cities. It can be helped by preventingrealistically, the tragedy f the grwing lsses thrugh fre clsures f ur small hmes and urfarms. It can be helped by insistence that the federal, the state, and the lcal gvernment actfrthwith n the de

23、mands that their csts be drastically reduce. It can be helped by theunifying f relief activities which tday are ften scattered, unecnmical, unequal. It can behelped by natinal planning fr, and supervisin f all frms f transprtatin, and fcmmunicatins, and ther utilities that have a definitely public c

24、haracter. There are many waysin which it can be helped, but it can never be helped by merely talking abut it. We must act,we must act quickly.明确地为提高农产品价值并以此购买城市产品所做的努力，会有助于任务的完成。避免许多小家庭业、农场业被取消赎取抵押品的权利的悲剧也有助于任务的完成。联邦、州、各地政府立即行动回应要求降价的呼声，有助于任务的完成。将现在常常是分散不经济、不平等的救济活动统一起来有助于任务的完成。对所有公共交通运输，通讯及其他涉及公众生活

25、的设施作全国性的计划及监督有助于任务的完成。许多事情都有助于任务完成，但这些决不包括空谈。我们必须行动，立即行动。And finally, in ur prgress tward a resumptin f wrk, we require tw safeguards against thereturn f the evils f the ld rder; there must be a strict supervisin f all banking andcredits and investments; there must be an end t speculatin with ther p

26、eples mney; andthere must be prvisins fr an adequate but sund currency.最后，为了重新开始工作，我们需要两手防御，来抗御旧秩序恶魔卷土从来;一定要有严格监督银行业、信贷及投资的机制：一定要杜绝投机;一定要有充足而健康的货币供应。These, my friends, are the lines f attack. I shall presently urge upn a new Cngress in specialsessin, detailed measures fr their fulfillment, and I sha

27、ll seek the immediate assistancef the 48 states.以上这些，朋友们，就是施政方针。我要在特别会议上敦促新国会给予详细实施方案，并且，我要向某个州请求立即的援助。Thrugh this prgram f actin, we address urselves t putting ur wn natinal huse inrder, and making incme balance utflw. ur internatinal trade relatins, thugh vastlyimprtant, are in pint f time and nec

28、essity secndary t the establishment f a sundnatinal ecnmy. I favr as a practical plicy the putting f first things first. I shall spare neffrt t restre wrld trade by internatinal ecnmic readjustment, but the emergency athme cannt wait n that accmplishment.通过行动，我们将予以我们自己一个有秩序的国家大厦，使收入大于支出。我们的国际贸易，虽然很重

29、要，但现在在时间和必要性上，次于对本国健康经济的建立。我建议，作为可行的策略、首要事务先行。虽然我将不遗余力通过国际经济重新协调所来恢复国际贸易，但我认为国内的紧急情况无法等待这重新协调的完成。The basic thught that guides these specific means f natinal recvery is nt narrwlynatinalistic. It is the insistence, as a first cnsideratin upn the inter-dependence f thevarius elements in all parts f th

30、e United States f America ndash; a recgnitin f the ld and thepermanently imprtant manifestatin f the American spirit f the pineer. It is the way trecvery, it is the immediate way, it is the strngest assurance that recvery will endure.指导这一特别的全国性复苏的基本思想并非狭隘的国家主义。我首先考虑的是坚持美国这一整体中各部分的相互依赖性-这是对美国式的开拓精神的古

31、老而永恒的证明的体现。这才是复苏之路，是即时之路，是保证复苏功效持久之路。In the field f wrld plicy, I wuld dedicate this natin t the plicy f the gd neighbr. Theneighbr wh reslutely respects himself, and because he des s, respects the rights f thers.The neighbr wh respects his bligatin, and respects the sanctity f his agreement, in and

32、with, a wrld f neighbr.在国际政策方面，我将使美国采取睦邻友好的政策。做一个决心自重，因此而尊重邻国的国家。做一个履行义务，尊重与他国协约的国家。If I read the temper rrectly, we nw realize what we have never realized befre,ur inter-dependence n each ther, that we cannt merely take, but we must give as well.That if we are t g frward, we must mve as a trained a

33、nd lyal army, willing t sacrificefr the gd f a cmmn discipline, because withut such discipline, n prgress can bemade, n leadership becmes effective. We are all ready and willing t submit ur lives andur prperty t such discipline because it makes pssible a leadership which aims at thelarger gd. This,

34、I prpse t ffer, we are ging t larger purpses, bind upn us, bind upnus all, as a sacred bligatin with a unity f duty, hithert evked nly in times f armedstrife.如果我对人民的心情的了解正确的话，我想我们已认识到了我们从未认识的问题，我们是互相依存的，我们不可以只索取，我们还必须奉献。我们前进时，必须象一支训练有素的忠诚的军队，愿意为共同的原则而献身，因为，没有这些原则，就无法取得进步，领导就不可能得力。我们都已做好准备，并愿意为此原则献出生

35、命和财产，因为这将使志在建设更美好社会的领导成为可能。我倡议，为了更伟大的目标，我们所有的人，以一致的职责紧紧团结起来。这是神圣的义务，非战乱，不停止。With this pledge taken, I assume unhesitatingly, the leadership f this great army f urpeple dedicated t a disciplined attack upn ur cmmn prblems. Actin in this image,actin t this end, is feasible under the frm f gvernment wh

36、ich we have inherited frm myancestrs. ur cnstitutin is s simple, s practical, that it is pssible always, t meetetrardinary needs, by changes in emphasis and arrangements withut lss f a centralfrm, that is why ur cnstitutinal system has prved itself the mst superbly enduringplitical mechanism the mde

37、rn wrld has ever seen. It has met every stress f vastepansin f territry, f freign wars, f bitter internal strife, f wrld relatins.有了这样的誓言，我将毫不犹豫地承担领导伟大人民大军的任务，致力于对我们普遍问题的强攻。这样的行动，这样的目标，在我们从祖先手中接过的政府中是可行的。我们的宪法如此简单，实在。它随时可以应付特殊情况，只需对重点和安排加以修改而不丧失中心思想，正因为如此，我们的宪法体制已自证为是最有适应性的政治体制。它已应付过巨大的国土扩张、外战、内乱及国际关系所带来的压力。And it is t be hped that the nrmal balance f eecutive and legislative authrity will befully equal, fully adequate t meet the unp
