Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Gabriel Verne 词汇提示 1.Atlantic 大西洋 2.ravines 深谷 3.whistle 汽笛 原文 Chapter 6: When our friends risk their lives 25 November They were now sailing across the Pacific on the Carnatic in the direction of San Francisco. On the journey, Passepartout started to remember more details about his evening with Mr. Fix and he began to ask questions. Why did the man try and keep him in the bar for so long? Why was he doing the exact same journey as them? It wasn't an unusual route, but why did he also want to do it so quickly? Was he following them? 'I'm going for a walk. I believe Mrs. Aouda will join me. I'll see you in the morning at seven-fifteen,' said Phileas Fogg,interrupting his manservant's thoughts. His master certainly did not look worried and Passepartout decided that he had to think about just one thing: his master had to win his bet. In the next few days, it became clear that Mrs. Aouda was very close to Phileas Fogg. He, on the other hand, did not seem to notice the beautiful lady by his side. Tuesday- 2 hours ahead. Wednesday - 3 hours behind. Thursday - arrived in San Francisco on time. The same evening, at exactly six o'clock, our adventurers left San Francisco to travel to New York. The journey that once took six months to complete, now took seven days on the new Union Pacific Railroad that took the passengers from San Francisco in the west,to Omaha in the central state of Nebraska. From there Phileas Fogg hoped to continue to New York for the final part of their journey: crossing the Atlantic to England on 11 December. On the train, Passepartout sat next to Inspector Fix, but he did not want to talk to him. He was still confused by his behavior in the bar and he did not like him. After just one hour, it started to snow. Fortunately,the snow did not slow down the train. However,about nine o'clock the next morning, the train stopped. To their amazement it was not because of the snow but because hundreds of buffalos we crossing the tracks in front of the train. Passepartout became very impatient. 'I can't believe this!' he shouted. 'This country has a modern railway and the train must stop for a group of animals!' The train driver told them he had no choice. The buffalos were not moving and they could damage the engine. They had to wait until the buffalos moved across the tracks – three hours later! As they went through the mountains in Wyoming, Phileas Fogg taught Mrs. Aouda howto play cards. Mrs. Aouda was a very patient learner, and they were soon so occupied with their games that they did not even seem to notice the deep ravines below them. Passepartout was looking out of the window, thinking about the bet, when he almost hit the seating front of him. The train stopped suddenly and gave several loud whistles. He got up to see what the problem was. He saw the driver talking to a man from the next station, a place called Medicine Bow. 'The station guard sent me to tell you that you can't go any further," he said."The bridge across the ravine is not safe and it can't take the weight of the train. We have sent a telegram to Omaha, but it will be six hours before another train arrives.' 'We can't stay here all night. We'll die of cold in this snow!' shouted one of the passengers, hearing their conversation. 'Yes,but it will take six hours to go on foot to the next station.' said the train driver's assistant. 'I think I have an idea', said the train driver. 'We can get our train across the bridge, if we go fast enough.' Passepartout was interested to hear more. 'If the train moves at its top speed, the train won't be as heavy on the bridge',he continued. 'And we can get across before the bridge breaks.' Passepartout was worried for himself and the other passengers. The bridge could break before the train reached the other side! He could not understand why the other passengers seemed to think this was a good idea. 'Isn't there a simpler solution, perhaps...?' he began to ask the driver. The driver was not listening. 'No,no, this is the best solution we have,' he said. "Yes,but maybe not the safest...' Passepartout tried to explain that he had another idea. 'Maybe the passengers can go across the bridge on foot.Then the train could follow after wards,' he said to the train driver's assistant 'No,the driver is right. If we go at top speed, we can get across the bridge. The train's leaving!' cried his assistant. The train driver blew the whistle and the train went back along the tracks about two kilometers. Then he blew the whistle again. The train moved faster and faster as it came closer to the bridge. In what seemed like minutes, or maybe it was only a few seconds, they were over on the other side, just in time to see the bridge fall into the deep ravine behind them.

词汇提示 1.Normandy 诺曼底 2.allied 盟军 3.tyranny 暴政 4.Rangers 游骑兵 5.desolate 荒凉的 6.grenades 手榴弹 原文 Ronald Reagan: 'Speech at Normandy' We're here to mark that day in history when the Allied peoples joined in battle to reclaim this continent to liberty. For four long years, much of Europe had been under a terrible shadow. Free nations had fallen, Jews cried out in the camps, millions cried out for liberation. Europe was enslaved, and the world prayed for its rescue. Herein Normandy the rescue began. Here the Allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history. We stand on a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France. The air is soft, but forty years ago at this moment, the air was dense with smoke and the cries of men, and the air was filled with the crack of rifle fire and the roar of cannon. At dawn, on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, 225 Rangers jumped off the British landing craft and ran to the bottom of these cliffs. Their mission was one of the most difficult and daring of the invasion: to climb these sheer and desolate cliffs and take out the enemy guns. The Allies had been told that some of the mightiest of these guns were here and they would be trained on the beaches to stop the Allied advance. The Rangers looked up and saw the enemy soldiers -at the edge of the cliffs shooting down at them with machine-guns and throwing grenades. And the American Rangers began to climb. They shot rope ladders over the face of these cliffs and began to pull themselves up. When one Ranger fell, another would take his place. When one rope was cut, a Ranger would grab another and begin his climb again. They climbed, shot back, and held their footing. Soon,one by one, the Rangers pulled themselves over the top,and in seizing the firm land at the top of these cliffs, they began to seize back the continent of Europe. Two hundred and twenty-five came here. After two days of fighting only ninety could still bear arms. Behind me is a memorial that symbolizes the Ranger daggers that were thrust into the top of these cliffs. And before me are the men who put them there. These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war. Gentlemen,I look at you and I think of the words of Stephen Spender's poem. You are men who in your lives fought for life...and left the vivid air signed with your honor'... Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here. You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet you risked everything here. Why?Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow, we know the answer. It was faith, and belief; it was loyalty and love. The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or on the next. It was the deep knowledge – and pray God we have not lost it -that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest. You were here to liberate, not to conquer, and so you and those others did not doubt your cause. And you were right not to doubt. You all knew that some things are worth dying for. One's country is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying for,because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man. All of you loved liberty. All of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew the people of your countries were behind you. 翻译 罗纳德·里根:“诺曼底演讲” 我们在这里纪念历史上的那一天，盟国人民共同为解放这片大陆而战。 在漫长的四年里，欧洲大部分地区都笼罩在可怕的阴影之下。 自由的国家已经沦陷，犹太人在集中营里大声疾呼，数百万人大声疾呼要求解放。 欧洲被奴役了，全世界都在祈祷拯救它。 在诺曼底，救援行动开始了。 盟军站在这里，在人类历史上无与伦比的伟大事业中与暴政作斗争。 我们站在法国北岸一个孤独的、被风吹过的地方。 空气是柔和的，但四十年前的这个时候，空气中弥漫着浓烟和人们的呼喊声，空气中充满了步枪的噼啪声和大炮的轰鸣声。 1944年6月6日清晨，黎明时分，225名游骑兵从英国登陆艇上跳下，奔向悬崖底部。 他们的任务是入侵中最困难和最大胆的任务之一:爬上这些陡峭而荒凉的悬崖，摧毁敌人的大炮。 盟军被告知，这里有一些最强大的大炮，它们将在海滩上接受训练，以阻止盟军的推进。 游骑兵们抬头一看，看到了悬崖边的敌军士兵，他们用机关枪和手榴弹向他们射击。 美国游骑兵开始往上爬。 他们把绳梯架在悬崖上，开始往上爬。 当一个游骑兵倒下时，另一个会接替他的位置。 当一根绳子被割断时，游骑兵就会抓住另一根绳子重新开始攀登。 他们爬上去，反击，站稳脚跟。 很快，游骑兵们一个接一个地爬上了山顶，在占领了悬崖顶上坚固的土地后，他们开始夺回欧洲大陆。 225人来过这里。 经过两天的战斗，只有90人还拿着武器。 我身后是一座纪念碑，象征着刺入悬崖顶端的游骑兵匕首。 在我面前的是把他们放在那里的人。 这些是奥克角的孩子们。 就是这些人占领了悬崖。 他们是帮助解放一个大陆的斗士。 他们是帮助结束战争的英雄。 先生们，我看着你们就想起了斯蒂芬·斯彭德的诗。 你们是为生命而战的人……留下了写有“阁下”字样的生动的空气…… 自从你们在这里战斗以来，已经过去了40个夏天。 你踏上这些悬崖的那天还很年轻;你们中的一些人还仅仅是孩子，有着生命中最深的快乐。 但你却冒着一切危险。 为什么?你为什么要这么做? 是什么促使你们抛开自我保护的本能，冒着生命危险去爬这些悬崖? 是什么激励了所有在这里相遇的士兵? 我们看着你，不知怎么的，我们知道答案。 这是信念，是信念;那是忠诚和爱。 诺曼底的战士们坚信他们所做的是正确的，坚信他们为全人类而战，坚信公正的上帝会在这个滩头阵地或下一个滩头阵地给予他们怜悯。 这是一个深刻的认识——祈祷上帝我们没有失去它——在使用武力解放和使用武力征服之间存在着深刻的道德差异。 你们来这里是为了解放，而不是征服，所以你们和其他人都没有怀疑自己的事业。 你不怀疑是对的。 你们都知道有些东西是值得为之牺牲的。 一个人的国家值得为之牺牲，民主也值得为之牺牲，因为它是人类所创造的最崇高的政府形式。 你们所有人都热爱自由。 你们所有人都愿意与暴政作斗争，你们知道你们国家的人民都在支持你们。

Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Gabriel Verne 单词提示 1.acrobats 杂技演员 2.Monsieur 先生 3.bald 秃的 4.pyramid 金字塔 5.destination 目的地 原文 Chapter 5: When Passepartout becomes an acrobat Hong Kong was the last country they traveled to under British law. This was the inspector's final opportunity to get an arrest warrant for Phileas Fogg. It was not difficult to imagine his anger when he discovered that the British officials in Hong Kong knew nothing about the warrant and told him he had to wait for it. His only chance to arrest Phileas Fogg was to keep him in Hong Kong, but how? While he was thinking about this, Fix recognized Passepartout walking down the steps of the Carnatic, the ship which was taking them to Yokohama. An excited Inspector Fix ran towards him. Nice to meet you again, Mr ...?' 'Fix.We met in Egypt, in the Suez.' 'I'm sorry, Mr. Fix, but I really don't have time to talk,' said Passepartout, and he continued walking. 'Of course, I won't stop you, but tell me, do you always go everywhere so quickly?' 'I need to go back to the hotel to tell my master that the Carnatic, isn't leaving tomorrow morning. The repairs are complete and the ship is going to leave tonight.' 'Oh,I understand, but let me walk with you on the way to your hotel,' said Inspector Fix. Suddenly Fix had an idea. 'Maybe I can stop Passepartout from telling Phileas Fogg about the ship, and then the ship will leave without him!' he thought to himself. 'It's still early,' Inspector Fix began. 'Why don't we have a drink, Monsieur Passepartout? I know a nice place near the hotel. I'm sure we can stop for a drink. It's difficult to find a good friend to talk to after such a long journey away from home. ' 'Well,just one drink... 'said Passepartout, who was enjoying his conversation with Inspector Fix. When they were inside the bar the detective's plan was complete. He ordered the drinks and asked the barman to make a very strong drink for Passepartout. Less than an hour later, Passepartout was drunk and fell asleep at the table. 'Ah! Phileas Fogg will never know about the ship now,' he said to himself. 'And, now Mr. Fogg, I just need to wait until I have the warrant for your arrest, and it won't be long now, you can be certain of that!' The next day, when Phileas Fogg woke up, he was a little surprised to see that Passepartout was not there. He packed the suitcases himself and paid the hotel bill. Then he went straight to the port with Mrs. Aouda. But Passepartout was not there. 'How strange!' thought Phileas Fogg, but he showed no surprise to find that the Carnatic was not at the port. In fact, he did not seem worried about the departure of the ship or his manservant. Instead he went to speak to the captains of the different boats in the port. Inspector Fix, who was waiting for Phileas Fogg, followed behind. What was Phileas Fogg's new plan? Fix saw him pay the captain of a small ship, who agreed to leave immediately. 'Oh no!' thought Inspector Fix.' He always thinks of something. That thief! He can't escape! Not now.' Fix was very angry and upset. He walked up and down near the ship, until Phileas Fogg noticed the poor man. 'Are you looking for a ship, too, my good man?' he asked. 'We're going to Japan. If that's the direction you're going in, you're welcome to come with us! 'Thank you, sir. That's very kind of you. My ship left early and I am in a terrible situation, in fact, I was just thinking about how I could find another ship to take me to Yokohama,' replied Inspector Fix. He was amazed at his good luck but he was worried that things were not going exactly as he planned. He was determined to catch his thief. 'I'll have to follow Fogg around the world if that's the only way I can catch him,'he thought. But where was our friend Passepartout? Passepartout woke up in the bar a few hours later. His head hurt and he could not remember anything, except that he came into a bar with someone he met and that he talked to a man about... the ship! The Carnatic was leaving that evening. He looked at his watch. 'Oh no!' he thought. 'I'm late. Mr. Fogg will be at the port now.' He ran to the boat and got on. He looked everywhere for Mr. Fogg and Mrs. Aouda, but he could not see them. It was then that he started to remember his afternoon with the man he met at the port. 'But of course,' he thought. 'Mr. Fogg doesn't know. How could he? I was still in that bar with Mr. Fix, and then l... ' It was too late. The ship was already sailing towards Yokohama. He felt very bad. This was terrible. His master was losing his bet because of him. And he did not have a penny in his pocket! When he arrived in Yokohama, he walked around the streets, trying to decide what to do. Soon he felt hungry and he decided to sell his elegant European jacket and buy an old Japanese one, but the money was not enough. He needed money to eat and to sleep, and, above all, to return home. Just when he thought the situation was hopeless, he saw an advertisement for a circus. Don't miss Batulcar's Circus. The last show before the circus moves to America.Acrobats, clowns, lions, tigers and much more! 'What luck!' thought Passepartout. 'I'll go to the circus owner. If he lets me go with them, I can go to America, and from there to England.' 'So,you say you're from Paris?' said Mr. Batulcar, a big man with a bald head and a moustache. He looked at Passepartout carefully. 'Yes,a true Parisian, from Paris,' replied Passepartout. 'Well,you know how to make funny faces then,' said Mr. Batulcar smiling from the corners of his moustache. Passepartout did not understand what he meant. 'Err... yes,' he said uncertainly. 'Good!Then you can start as a clown,' said Mr. Batulcar, 'and then you can do other jobs if we need an extra man. You can look after the tigers, for example.' Passepartout was not very happy about this offer, but he needed the job. That night an acrobat was ill, and Passepartout had to take his place as part of a human pyramid. Passepartout was at the bottom of the pyramid and he had to carry the weight of several men on his shoulders. The audience shouted out loudly, the drums sounded like a thunderstorm, and then...the people in the pyramid fell to the floor like a pack of cards. What happened? Passepartou twas running towards someone in the audience, someone he was very happy to see. It was his old employer, Phileas Fogg. But how did he get there? When Fogg and Mrs. Aouda arrived in Yokohama a week later, they spoke to the captain of the Carnatic and found Passepartout's name among the list of passengers, but his ticket only took him to Yokohama. Phileas Fogg and Mrs. Aouda wanted to find Passepartout before the ship left for its next destination - San Francisco. Inspector Fix, on the other hand, had no choice. He went with them and became their 'friend'. They looked all over the city but they could not find him anywhere. 'We haven't much time left in the city. Let's go and see the circus. I believe it'svery good,' he told the others. Mr.Fix and Mrs. Aouda agreed. Phileas Fogg did not see his manservant among the acrobats, but his manservant certainly saw him, and he left everyone else in the human pyramid in a big group of arms and legs on the floor. They had no time to say sorry to a very angry Mr. Batulcar. The Carnatic was leaving for America.

词汇提示 1.assassination 暗杀 2.polarization 两极分化 3.comprehend 领悟 4.stain 污渍 5.dedicate 奉献 6.tame 驯服 7.savageness 野蛮 原文 Robert F. Kennedy: 'Speech after Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.' I have bad news for you, for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and killed tonight. Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black-considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible you can be filled with bitterness,with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend,and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love. For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act,against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States,we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times. My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote, "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will,comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred;what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another,So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, that's true,but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country,which all of us love-a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke. We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder. But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together,want to improve the quality of our life,and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land. Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and to make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people. 翻译 罗伯特·f·肯尼迪:“马丁·路德·金遇刺后的演讲” 我有个坏消息要告诉你们，告诉我们所有的同胞，告诉全世界热爱和平的人们，那就是马丁·路德·金今晚被枪杀了。 马丁·路德·金把他的一生奉献给了爱和正义，为他的人类同胞，他也因此而死。 在这个困难的日子里，在美国的这个困难的时刻，也许我们应该问问自己，我们是一个什么样的国家，我们想朝哪个方向前进。 对于你们当中的黑人来说，考虑到有明显的证据表明白人对此事负有责任，你们可能会充满痛苦、仇恨和复仇的欲望。 作为一个国家，我们可以朝着这个方向前进，在巨大的两极分化中黑人和黑人，白人和白人，充满了对彼此的仇恨。 或者我们可以做出努力，就像马丁·路德·金所做的那样，去理解，去领悟，去取代那种暴力，那种在我们的土地上蔓延的流血的污点，努力用同情和爱去化解。 对于你们当中的黑人，对于这种不公正的行为，对所有白人充满了仇恨和不信任，我只能说，我自己心里也有同样的感觉。 我的一个家人被杀了，但他杀的是一个白人。 但是在美国，我们必须努力，我们必须努力去理解，去超越这些相当困难的时期。 我最喜欢的诗人是埃斯库罗斯。 他写道:“在我们的睡眠中，无法忘记的痛苦一滴一滴地落在我们的心上，直到在我们自己的绝望中，违背我们的意愿，上帝的可怕恩典带来智慧。” 我们美国需要的不是分裂;我们在美国需要的不是仇恨;在美国，我们需要的不是暴力和无法无天，而是爱、智慧和对彼此的同情。因此，今晚我要求你们回家，为马丁·路德·金的家人祈祷，这是真的，但更重要的是，为我们所有人所爱的国家祈祷——为我所说的理解和同情祈祷。 我们可以在这个国家做得很好。 我们将来会有困难的时候。 这不是暴力的终结;这不是无法无天的终结;这不是混乱的终结。 但是，这个国家的绝大多数白人和绝大多数黑人想要共同生活，想要提高我们的生活质量，想要为居住在这片土地上的所有人类伸张正义。 让我们献身于希腊人多年前所写的:驯服人类的野蛮，使这个世界的生活变得温和。 让我们为此献身，为我们的国家和人民祈祷。

Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Gabriel Verne 词汇提示 1.suttee 缝合 2.pagoda 佛塔 3.sacrifice 牺牲 4.Yokohama 横滨，日本东部城市 原文 Chapter 4: When our adventurers rescue a woman from certain death They stopped near a village, where they heard the sound of strange musical instruments. Their guide went to discover what was happening and he was soon back with the news. The people of the village, their guide said, were celebrating a local tradition called suttee. Our travelers immediately wanted to know more about it. The guide told them that when a woman's husband dies, his wife must die with him and they burn her alive in a big fire. "The name of the woman is Mrs. Aouda,' he told them, and she's very beautiful. Everyone knows her. She is from a rich family. Her father was a businessman in a town near Bombay. Her parents sent her to a European school in Bombay. She learnt European languages there, and she has European ways. Her parents died and she had to marry an old prince. She became a widow after only three months. They are taking her to the pagoda tonight. They are going to burn her alive tomorrow, at sunrise.' 'My goodness! How terrible! Do such traditions still exist?' asked Phileas Fogg. He seemed surprised, but his voice sounded curious. 'Poor woman!' whispered Passepartout. 'We can still save her,' said Phileas Fogg. 'We are a few hours ahead of time.' "Yes,but sir, if we save this woman, they'll try and kill us!' said their guide. 'I can only speak for myself, but I am prepared to take that risk,' replied Phileas Fogg. When they arrived, they started to plan the rescue. Unfortunately,there were guards all around the pagoda and so they decided that it was too dangerous to do anything. They were about to leave, when Passepartout said that maybe he had an idea. When the sun came up the next day, the crowd arrived to see the bonfire ready for the sacrifice. Our travelers disappeared among the people. They saw the dead prince and his young wife through the smoke. Phileas Fogg prepared himself to run towards the fire in a final effort to save Mrs. Aouda, when suddenly a terrified cry came from the crowd. Her husband was not dead! He stood up in the flames, took his wife in his hands and ran in the opposite direction to the crowd. It was not difficult to imagine Phileas Fogg's surprise when he later discovered that the woman's 'husband' was Passepartout. A few moments later, our heroes disappeared into the forest with their new travelling companion, followed by the angry guards. Mrs. Aouda slowly started to wake up when they reached the station at Allahabad. Phileas Fogg thanked his guide for his loyalty and gave him the elephant. For a young guide an elephant like Kiouni was a big present. He could make a lot more money now that he had his own elephant. He was very happy and continued to thank Mr. Fogg and the others until they left. On the train to Calcutta, Phileas Fogg and Passepartout told Mrs. Aouda all about their adventure. Mrs. Aouda couldn't believe it: these men risked their lives - for her! At seven o'clock they arrived in Calcutta. The ship for Hong Kong did not leave until twelve o'clock midday. Fortunately,they were still on time. Inspector Fix was also on his way to Hong Kong. How did he know they were there? How did he get there? That remains a mystery, but one thing was sure: Inspector Fix was determined to arrest Phileas Fogg and he had a plan. He just had to wait a little longer. After the ship stopped for a short time in Singapore, it continued on its way to Hong Kong where, on the morning of 6 November, a boat going to Yokohama, in Japan,was waiting for them. Unfortunately,they arrived a day later than planned, because of a bad storm. 'Oh no! ' thought Passepartout.' The boat will leave without us, and my master won't win his bet!' When they were at the port, Phileas Fogg and Passepartout walked towards the captain of a small boat. 'When does the next boat to Yokohama leave?' Fogg asked. 'Tomorrow morning,' he replied. 'Didn't it leave this morning?' 'No,they had to repair it, so it's not leaving until tomorrow.' Passepartout was very happy to hear this good news and shook the captain's hand. The captain was a little surprised. Phileas Fogg simply wrote how late they were in his diary. 6 November - minus 24 hours

词汇提示 1.democracy 民主 2.besieged 包围 3.vitality 活力 4.elementary 基本地 5.sober 冷静的 原文 John F. Kennedy: 'Ich bin ein Berliner' Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was 'Civis Romanus sum'. Today,in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is 'Ich bin ein Berliner'. There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin. There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. Let them come to Berlin. And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system,but it permits us to make economic progress. Let them come to Berlin. Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put up a wall to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us. I want to say, on behalf of my countrymen, who live many miles away on the other side of the Atlantic, who are far distant from you, that they take the greatest pride that they have been able to share with you, even from a distance, the story of the last eighteen years. I know of no town, no city, that has been besieged for eighteen years that still lives with the vitality and the force, and the hope and the determination of the city of West Berlin. While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist the system, all the world can see, we take no satisfaction in it, for it is, as your mayor has said,an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together. What is true of this city is true of Germany-real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of freemen, and that is to make a free choice. In eighteen years of peace and good faith, this generation of Germans has earned the right to be free including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people. You live in a defended island of freedom, but your life is part of the main. So let me ask you, as I close, to lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today, to the hopes of tomorrow, beyond the freedom merely of this city of Berlin, or your country of Germany, to the advance of freedom everywhere,beyond the wall to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind. Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades. All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Berliner. 翻译 约翰·肯尼迪：“我在柏林（德语）” 两千年前，最引以为豪的话是“我是罗马人（拉丁语）”。 今天，在自由的世界里，最引以为豪的是“我在柏林”。 世界上有很多人真的不明白，或者说他们不明白，自由世界和共产主义世界之间的大问题是什么。 让他们来柏林吧。 有人说共产主义是未来的潮流。 让他们来柏林吧。 还有一些人说，在欧洲和其他地方，我们可以与共产党合作。 让他们来柏林吧。 甚至有少数人说，共产主义确实是一种邪恶的制度，但它允许我们取得经济进步。 让他们来柏林吧。 自由有很多困难，民主也不完美，但我们从来没有必要筑起一堵墙来保护我们的人民，防止他们离开我们。 我想代表我的同胞们说，他们生活在大西洋彼岸数英里之外，与你们相距甚远，他们非常自豪能够与你们分享过去18年的故事，即使是在远处。 据我所知，没有一个城镇，没有一座城市，被围困了18年，仍然以西柏林的活力、力量、希望和决心生活着。 虽然这堵墙最明显、最生动地展示了共产党的失败——全世界都能看到，但我们对此并不满意，因为正如你们的市长所说，这不仅是对历史的冒犯，也是对人类的冒犯，分裂了家庭，分裂了丈夫、妻子、兄弟姐妹，分裂了希望团结在一起的人民。 这座城市的真实情况和德国的真实情况一样，只要四分之一的德国人被剥夺了自由人的基本权利，即做出自由选择，欧洲的真正、持久和平就永远无法保证。 在18年的和平与善意中，这一代德国人赢得了自由的权利，包括将他们的家庭和国家团结在持久和平中的权利，并对所有人怀有善意。 你生活在一个被捍卫的自由之岛上，但你的生活是主体的一部分。 因此，在我结束发言之际，让我请你们把目光从今天的危险中，从明天的希望中，从仅仅是柏林市或你们的德国的自由中，从世界各地的自由中抬起，从柏林墙之外，到正义的和平之日，从你们自己到全人类。 自由是不可分割的，当一个人被奴役时，所有人都不是自由的。 当所有人都自由了，那么我们就可以期待有一天，这座城市、这个国家和这个伟大的欧洲大陆将成为一个和平而充满希望的世界。 当那一天终于到来时，西柏林人民可以清醒地满足于他们在前线工作了近20年。 所有自由人，无论他们住在哪里，都是柏林的公民，因此，作为一个自由人，我为“我在柏林”这句话感到骄傲。
