1、经典名人英语演讲稿经典名人英语演讲稿篇一：名人演讲中英文对照释放你的创造力比尔盖茨Ive been an optimist and I supposed that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place.For as long as I can remember, Ive loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a computer
2、 for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. Its was a clunky and teletype machine that barely do anything compared to the computer we have today. But it changed my life.When my friend Paul Allen and I stared Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of a computer on every desk and in every hom
3、e, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believe that personal computer would change the world. And they have.And after 30 years, I still inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.我天生乐观，坚信人类凭创造力和聪明才智可以让世界日益美妙，这一
4、设想一直根植于我的内心深处。自从记事起，我就热衷于接触新事物、挑战难题。可想而知，我上七年级时第一次坐在计算机前是何等着迷，如入无我之境。那是一台锵锵作响的旧牌机器，和我们今天拥有的计算机相比，它相当逊色几乎一无所用，但正是它改变了我的生活。30年前，我和朋友保罗艾伦创办微软时，我们幻想实现在每个家庭、在每张办公桌上都有一台计算机，这在大多数的计算机体积如同冰箱的尺寸的年代，听起来有点异想天开。但是我们相信个人电脑将改变世界。今天看来果真如此。30年后，我仍然象上七年级的时候那样为计算机而狂热着迷。I believe that computers are the most incredible
5、 tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness-to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldnt solve on their own. Computer have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the worlds knowledge. Theyre helping us build communicates around the thing
6、s we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day I love to do. He calls it tap-dancing to work. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me tap-dan
7、cing to the work is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetimes worth of photos, and the say: I didnt know you can do that with a pc!But for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots
8、 other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.我相信计算机是我们用来满足好
9、奇心及发明创造的最神奇的工具-有了它们的帮助，甚至是最聪明的人凭自身力量无法应对的难题都将迎刃而解。计算机已经改变了我们的学习方式，为全球各地的孩子们开启了一扇通向大千世界知识的窗户。它可以帮我们围绕我们关注的事物建立群，让我们和那些对自己重要的人保持密切联系，不管他们身处何方。就像我的朋友沃伦布非一样，我为每天都能做自己热爱的事情而感到无比幸运。他称之为踢踏舞工作。我在微软的工作永远充满挑战，但使我一直坚持踢踏舞工作的是我们向人们展示某些新成果的那些时刻，当他们看到计算机能辨认笔迹、语音或者能存储值得保留一辈子的照片时就会赞不绝口：我不敢相信个人电脑竟如此万能。但是，除了能用电脑做出很酷的事
10、情之外，我们还能通过许多别的方式在工作中发挥自己的创造力和聪明才智，以改善我们的世界。全球仍有许许多多的人连最基本的生存需求都未能解决。举例来说，每年仍有数以万计的人死于那些在发达国家易于预防和治疗的疾病。I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility tp give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as many
11、 people as possible.As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant. or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else. And that doesnt take much to make an immense difference in these childrens lives.我认为，我所拥有的大量财富也使我负有回馈社会的责任。我的妻子梅林达和我致力于为尽可能多的人改善健康和教育.作为一个父亲，我认为，非洲孩子
12、死去所引起的痛苦和悲伤丝毫不亚于任何其他的孩子的死亡;我认为，使这些孩子们的命运发生翻天地覆的变化并不费太大力气。Im still very optimist, and I believe that progress on even the worlds toughest problems is possible-and its happening every day. Were seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in
13、 the developing world.Im excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness , creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, were going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lif
14、etime.我仍是一个坚定的乐观主义者，我坚信即使世界级难题取得进展都是有可能的-其实每天也都在发生着这种事情。我们看到治疗致命疾病的新药、新的诊断器械不断出现，而且，发展中国家的健康问题进入了人们的视野并日益得到重视。我为医药、教育，当然还有技术发展的诸多前景而欢欣鼓舞。我相信，凭借人类与生俱来的发明创造能力和不畏艰难、坚忍不拔的品格，在我的有生之年里我们将在所有这些领域都创造出可喜的成就。 Duty, Honor, Country MacArthurGeneral Westmoreland, General Grove, distinguished guests, and gentleme
15、n of the Corps! As I was leaving the hotel this morning, a doorman asked me, Where are you bound for, General? And when I replied, West Point, he remarked, Beautiful place. Have you ever been there before?No human being could fail to be deeply moved by such a tribute as this Thayer Award. Coming fro
16、m a profession I have served so long, and a people I have loved so well, it fills me with an emotion I cannot express. But this award is not intended primarily to honor a personality, but to symbolize a great moral code - the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land of cultu
17、re and ancient descent. That is the animation of this medallion. For all eyes and for all time, it is an expression of the ethics of the American soldier. That I should be integrated in this way with so noble an ideal arouses a sense of pride and yet of humility which will be with me always: Duty, H
18、onor, Country.Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn. Un
19、happily, I possess neither that eloquence of diction, that poetry of imagination, nor that brilliance of metaphor to tell you all that they mean. The unbelievers will say they are but words, but a slogan, but a flamboyant phrase. Every pedant, every demagogue, every cynic, every hypocrite, every tro
20、ublemaker, and I am sorry to say, some others of an entirely different character, will try to downgrade them even to the extent of mockery and ridicule. But these are some of the things they do. They build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the custodians of the nations def
21、ense. They make you strong enough to know when you are weak, and brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid. They teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for actions, not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stre
22、ss and spur of difficulty and challenge; to learn to stand up in the storm but to have compassion on those who fall; to master yourself before you seek to master others; to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; to reach into the future yet
23、never neglect the past; to be serious yet never to take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. They give you a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emoti
24、ons, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of an appetite for adventure over love of ease. They create in your heart the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what next, and the joy and inspiration of life. They teach you in this way to be a
25、n officer and a gentleman. And what sort of soldiers are those you are to lead? Are they reliable? Are they brave? Are they capable of victory? Their story is known to all of you. It is the story of the American man-at-arms. My estimate of him was formed on the battlefield many, many years ago, and
26、has never changed. I regarded him then as I regard him now - as one of the worlds noblest figures, not only as one of the finest military characters, but also as one of the most stainless. His name and fame are the birthright of every American citizen. In his youth and strength, his love and loyalty
27、, he gave all that mortality can give. He needs no eulogy from me or from any other man. He has written his own history and written it in red on his enemys breast. But when I think of his patience under adversity, of his courage under fire, and of his modesty in victory, I am filled with an emotion
28、of admiration I cannot put into words. He belongs to history as furnishing one of the greatest examples of successful patriotism. He belongs to posterity as the instructor of future generations in the principles of liberty and freedom. He belongs to the present, to us, by his virtues and by his achi
29、evements. In 20 campaigns, on a hundred battlefields, around a thousand campfires, I have witnessed that enduring fortitude, that patriotic self-abnegation, and that invincible determination which have carved his statue in the hearts of his people. From one end of the world to the other he has drain
30、ed deep the chalice of courage. As I listened to those songs of the glee club, in memorys eye I could see those staggering columns of the First World War, bending under soggy packs, on many a weary march from dripping dusk to drizzling dawn, slogging ankle-deep through the mire of shell-shocked road
31、s, to form grimly for the attack, blue-lipped, covered with sludge and mud, chilled by the wind and rain, driving home to their objective, and for many, to the judgment seat of God. I do not know the dignity of their birth, but I do know the glory of their death. They died unquestioning, uncomplaini
32、ng, with faith in their hearts, and on their lips the hope that we would go on to victory. Always, for them: Duty, Honor, Country; always their blood and sweat and tears, as we sought the way and the light and the truth. And 20 years after, on the other side of the globe, again the filth of murky foxholes, the stench of ghostly trenches, the slime of dripping dugouts; those boiling suns of relentless heat, those torrential rains of devastating storms; the loneliness and utter de
