A Time for Choosing英语演讲稿1
Reagan: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you and good evening. The sponsor has been identified, but unlike most television programs, the performer hasn't been provided with a script. As a matter of fact, I have been permitted to choose my own words and discuss my own ideas regarding the choice that we face in the next few weeks.
I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines. Now, one side in this campaign has been telling us that the issues of this election are the maintenance of peace and prosperity. The line has been used, "We've never had it so good."
But I have an uncomfortable feeling that this prosperity isn't something on which we can base our hopes for the future. No nation in history has ever survived a tax burden that reached a third of its national income. Today, 37 cents out of every dollar earned in this country is the tax collector's share, and yet our government continues to spend 17 million dollars a day more than the government takes in. We haven't balanced our budget 28 out of the last 34 years. We've raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations of the world. We have 15 billion dollars in gold in our treasury; we don't own an ounce. Foreign dollar claims are 27.3 billion dollars. And we've just had announced that the dollar of 1939 will now purchase 45 cents in its total value.
As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.
Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are." And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to." And in that sentence he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man.
This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down -- [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.
A Time for Choosing英语演讲稿2
暑假飞快地过完了，那快乐的，安心的暑假在一夜之间消失不见。来迎接我们的不是惊喜，不是快乐，而是那令人烦恼的初一。
走进大保实的第一步，我已经不再是那个爱搞恶作剧，上课不认真听的小学生了。一大批作业随风而来，把我的脸打得紫一块，青一块的，我的脸被打得又红又肿。我的身体已经疲惫不堪，连以前爱不释手的平板如今也在角落积满灰尘，“游戏”这两个字在我的`记忆中也已经渐渐淡忘了。现在我已是一个初中生，随着学科的增多，吃喝玩乐的时间逐渐缩小，做作业的时间随之增多。
踏进教室一眼便看到陌生又熟悉的面孔——班主任郭老师。她兴匆匆地来迎接我们了，各科的任课老师也都带着不同的心情来迎接我们。郭老师不仅和蔼可亲，而且也是一个独特的老师。她上课方式与众不同，性格也与众不同，有时幽默风趣，有时也很严肃。
在新的学期中我认识了不少新朋友，不同的人，也给我留下了不同的印象。
中学部的操场对我们来说也是全新的，整个操场也变得跟以前不一样了，像换上了新的服装，披上了新的铠甲。而我却没有明显的“变新”啊，虽然老师们都很看好我，可我那“不要脸”的精神依然给同学和各科老师留下了深刻的印象。
希望初一的我会努力进步，希望初一的我成绩良好。新的学期有的是时间，有的是希望，等着我去扭转乾坤！
