有什麼經典的英語演講？
一個成功的演講，不僅語言優美、準確，而且能像指揮家一樣調動聽眾，在他們心中掀起熱情、憤怒、悲傷等等情緒，這才稱得上經典。以下四段演講，大家一起來品品。
1、富蘭克林·德拉諾·羅斯福（Franklin Delano Roosevelt），第32任美國總統，是美國二三十年代經濟危機和第二次世界大戰的中心人物之一。從1933年至1945年間，連續出任四屆美國總統，也是唯一連任超過兩屆的美國總統。
以下片段摘自《羅斯福爐邊談話·經濟篇》之四：On the Currency Situation。美國大蕭條時期，羅斯福利用剛剛興起的廣播媒介，向國民發表了一系列深入淺出的演講，稱為「爐邊談話」，獲得巨大反響，甚至影響了歷史的進程。這篇講話的主題是國內經濟形勢，羅斯福先介紹了就業率回升數據，然後進一步鼓勵聽眾為國家而奮鬥。
難度：雅思級
&>&>&>&> 原文：
How are we constructing the edifice of recovery—the temple which, when completed, will no longer be a temple of money-changers or of beggars, but rather a temple dedicated to and maintained for a greater social justice, a greater welfare for America—the habitation of a sound economic life? We are building, stone by stone, the columns which will support that habitation. Those columns are many in number and though, for a moment the progress of one column may disturb the progress on the pillar next to it, the work on all of them must proceed without let or hindrance.
&>&>&>&> 譯文：
我們該如何建造復興的大廈呢？這座大廈一旦建成，就不應該是一座只充斥著貨幣兌換商或乞丐的廟堂，而應該是一座致力於為全體美國人民建立和維護更高意義上的社會正義和福祉的殿堂，是一座經濟生活穩健發展的庇護所。我們正在一塊一塊石頭地壘起支撐整個庇護所的廊柱。這些廊柱數量眾多。也許我們在建造一根廊柱的同時，暫時可能會影響到旁邊一個廊柱的建造進程，但是整個工程必須推進，不容許任何懈怠和阻礙。
&>&>&>&> 推薦理由：
羅斯福以建築大廈為喻，闡述美國當時的貨幣形式與社會現狀，言語間便粉碎謠言、解釋政策、發出召喚、凝聚民心，展現了一代國際領袖的風範。
2、英國女王 伊麗莎白二世（Elizabeth II），本名伊麗莎白·亞歷山德拉·瑪麗（Elizabeth Alexandra Mary），是當今全球在位時間第二長的國家元首，也是歷史上在位時間最長的女性君主。
以下片段摘自女王在黛安娜王妃遇難後的講話，時間為1997年9月5日。
難度：大學六級
&>&>&>&> 原文：
We have all been trying in our different ways to cope. It is not easy to express a sense of loss，since the initial shock is often succeeded by a mixture of other feelings：disbelief，incomprehension，anger——and concern for those who remain.We have all felt those emotions in these last few days.So what I say to you now，as your Queen and as a grandmother，I say from my heart.
&>&>&>&> 譯文：
我們都以自己的方式，竭力去面對這個事實。我們失去親人的心情，一時很難用語言來表達，最初的震驚過後，緊隨而來的常常是各種情緒的交織：難以置信、無法理解、非常憤怒，以及對生者的擔憂。過去的這些天里，我們體驗到了以上的各種情感。因此，我以你們的女王，也以一位祖母的名義，對你們現在所說的話，皆是發自內心。
&>&>&>&> 推薦理由：
英女王站在大眾的角度表達了對黛安娜王妃逝世的震驚與哀痛，話語真摯、簡單而又嚴肅，扭轉了英國王室在此事件中的被動地位。伊麗莎白二世自小接受王室教育，她的語音、語調、遣詞造句等都被視為純正、優雅、從容、高貴的典範。品讀她的言辭，不僅有助於讀者進一步了解英國和英聯邦的歷史和現狀，而且對於英語語言的規範運用也大有裨益。
3、貝拉克·奧巴馬（Barack Obama），美國民主黨籍政治家，是第一位非裔美國總統。
以下片段摘自《奧巴馬訪談錄》第7篇《Press Conference by President Obama at White House》。這是2009年1月20日，奧巴馬宣誓就任美國總統，2月9日晚間8時許(美國東部時間)在白宮東廳舉行上任後的第一次記者招待會回答記者提問。
難度：大學六級
&>&>&>&> 原文：
We find ourselves in a rare moment where the citizens of our country and all countries are watching and waiting for us to lead. It"s a responsibility that this generation did not ask for, but one that we must accept for the future and our children and our grandchildren. And the strongest democracies flourish from frequent and lively debate, but they endure when people of every background and belief find a way to set aside smaller differences in service of a greater purpose.
&>&>&>&> 譯文：
我們發現我們自己所處的時刻極其罕見，我們國家的公民乃至全世界的公民都在盯著我們，都在等待著我們走在前面。這是我們義不容辭的責任，儘管我們這一代並不想自找麻煩，但是為了我們的未來，同時也為了我們的子孫後代，我們必須接受這一責任。經常且活躍的辯論使得最強大的民主制度朝氣蓬勃，不過當所有背景不同、信仰不同的人為了更偉大的目標而存小異求大同時，民主才能持久。
&>&>&>&> 推薦理由：
白宮記者是記者行業中的精英，他們的提問往往最難纏，最尖利。奧巴馬巧妙地將時代、責任與民主結合，在闡述政府使命的同時，提升了個人形象與政府的公眾形象，縝密又振奮人心。
4、安東尼·查爾斯·林頓·布萊爾（Anthony Charles Lynton Blair），英國政治家，是工黨歷史上在任最長的英國首相，也是該黨唯一一位帶領工黨連續三次贏得大選的首相，2007年6月27日離任。
以下片段摘自《布萊爾演說集》：I Did What I Thought Was Right，這是布萊爾在2007年5月10日進行的辭職演說。
難度：四級
&>&>&>&> 原文：
I"ve been prime minister of this country for just over 10 years. In this job in the world of today, I think that"s long enough for me, but more especially for the country. And sometimes, the only way you conquer the pull of power is to set it down.
&>&>&>&> 譯文：
我已在這個國家做了十年多一點的首相。放眼世界，我認為這個任期對我而言，尤其對我們國家而言已經足夠長了。有時候，克服權力誘惑的唯一途徑就是放下權力。
&>&>&>&> 推薦理由：
《泰晤士報》曾說布萊爾站在台上演講一分鐘，就能進賬9000美元，是「目前世界上出場費最高的演說者」。在本片段中，布萊爾講述人生智慧，「克服權力誘惑的唯一途徑就是放下權力」，他雄辯、機智與幽默的演說風格定能給你以啟發。

當然是葛。。。 肯尼迪就職演說
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.
這句話背誦的目的是讓你熟悉動詞ing形式的用法。這段話里的很多生詞都是非常常用的，可背。而且整個句子非常有氣勢。
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the
power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet
the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue
around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the
generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that
the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this
century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our
ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those
human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are
committed today at home and around the world.注意alike的用法。另外後面的排比句寫法可以學習。中國人總是被英語長句子繞暈。其實長句子很簡單，把後面那些從句干擾項去掉，句子主幹就是 the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans，後面所有的排比都是在修飾這個new generation；與此同時，這句話本身也是作為word這個詞引申出來的從句。所以這段六行的超長句，就是let the word go forth.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay
any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any
foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.又是排比。簡潔明快的動詞使用，每個動詞都值得學習。
This much we pledge -- and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, wepledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a
host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do -- for we dare
not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.United 是一個單詞就作為一個條件從句，這種用法不常見，但可以熟悉。Divided同樣。To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our
word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be
replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them
supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting
their own freedom -- and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly
sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.最後一句話是玩火自焚的英語地道說法，可以記憶。另一個需要注意的是shall/should not have done sth的用法，這個用法我看過無數人用錯。
break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help
themselves, for whatever period is required -- not because the Communists may be
doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free
society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are
rich.Not because.. but because 作文中可以使用。最後一句話很有哲理，可以背誦。To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to
convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to
assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But
this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let
all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or
subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this
hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.
best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the
instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support -- to prevent it from
becoming merely a forum for invective, to strengthen its shield of the new and
the weak, and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.world assembly of sovereign states 多牛逼的說法，可以學習。又是排比句用法。Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer
not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace,
before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity
in planned or accidental self-destruction.unleash engulf 多地道的辭彙 。 另外就是情態動詞 would / may / might 的用法，這是一組，和剛才shall / should / must 一組都需要熟練掌握。不要指望一上來就把這兩組全吃透，我見過很多說了十幾年英語都沒吃透的。We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient
beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be
employed.But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take
comfort from our present course -- both sides overburdened by the cost of modern
weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both
racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of
mankind"s final war.So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a
sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never
negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.最後一句 (let us never negotiate out of fear)又是簡潔明快，可以用在寫作和口語中。
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those
problems which divide us.
for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy
other nations under the absolute control of all nations.formulate proposals 正式商務辭彙，必須學習。目前為止上面幾段，都是正常的長句子
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its
terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate
disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.
Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free."1先知以賽亞的名句也值得背誦And, if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion,
let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power,
but a new world of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and
the peace preserved.All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be
finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration;
nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than 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.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,"2 a struggle against the common enemies of man:
tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.這段話儘管只有一句，但是多簡潔明快？這就是英語長句的魅力，可以仔細鑽研學習。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?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.And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask
what you can do for your country.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.上面兩句話很經典，可以背誦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.這一篇如果能在理解的基礎上全背下來，你的英語能力瞬間上升一個檔次。一定要聽原聲錄音，跟著錄音念，背誦。
我是學經濟的，對經濟史比較感興趣。剛才碰巧在 YouTube 上聽到一段與上世紀末中美經貿有關的英語演講，感覺演講者挺有水平的。隨手查了下，網上似乎還沒有 transcript，所以自己做了一點微小的工作，放在下面。
... facility, [defend our] growth of economic relations and trade.
[In further] developing our economic relations and trade as well as expanding the scientific and technological exchanges between China and the United States, we are faced with opportunities never seen before.
China"s market is open to you all. Of course, an open market is a competitive market. Only those who can seize opportunities and bring their advantages into full play can eventually gain a market share.
We are ready to continue to improve conditions for US firms to invest in China. We also hope that the US government will take positive and effective steps to support their firms in entering the Chinese market for equal competition.
As Franklin Roosevelt once said, "the only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." Let us move forward with a strong and active face. By the same token, let us work hard to push for a closer bilateral cooperation in the economic and trade areas to the benefits of the people of China and the United States.

林肯在葛底斯堡的演講值得一提。
The Gettysburg Address Gettysburg, Pennsylvania November 19, 1863 Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.這個太多了，喬布斯在斯坦福，蓋茨在哈佛，J·K 羅琳在哈佛的演講都很精彩。重點推薦幾個奧巴馬的演講吧1.The Audacity of Hope奧巴馬在民主黨全國代表大會上的演講，是他第一次在全國性政治舞台上的演講，是展示自己的絕好機會，此次演講非常成功。2.Yes, We Can奧巴馬在北卡初選獲勝後的演講3.This is Your Victory 奧巴馬勝選演講4.New Era of Responsibility (Inaugural speech)就職演講

電影《聞香識女人》中的7分鐘經典演講，史法蘭在學校禮堂激昂演說，挽救了查理的前途，諷刺了學校的偽善。二人在互相鼓舞中得到重生。正文如下:
Trask: Mr. Simms, you are a cover-up artist and you are a liar.
西門斯先生，你是一個狡猾的包庇者，是一個說謊者。
Frank: But not a snitch!
卻不是告密者。
Trask: Excuse me?
請原諒，再說一遍。
Frank: No, I don"t think I will.
我不會原諒你。
Trask: Mr. Slade
斯萊德先生
Frank: This is such a crock of shit!
這純粹是一堆狗屁話。
Trask: Please watch your language, Mr. Slade; you are in the Baird School, not a barracks. Mr. Simms, I"ll give you one final opportunity to speak up.
請注意你的語言斯萊德先生，這裡是拜爾德中學不是軍營。西門斯先生我給你最後一次機會申辯。
Frank: Mr. Simms doesn"t want it. He doesn"t need to be labeled, still worthy of being a Baird man! What the hell is that? What is your motto here? Boys, inform on your classmates, save your hide, anything short of that, we"re gonna burn you at the stake? Well, gentleman, when the shit hits the fan some guys run and some guys stay, here"s Charlie, facing the fire and there"s George hiding in big daddy"s pocket. And what are you doing? And you are gonna reward George, and destroy Charlie.
西門斯先生不需要申辯，他不需要被貼上無愧於拜爾德人的標籤。這到底是什麼?你們的校訓是什麼?孩子們，給你們的同學打小報告，要是隱瞞不能撒底的交待，就把你放在火上烤。看吧!子彈掃來的時候，有些人跑了，有些人毅力不動。這位查理迎上去面對火刑，而喬治躲到他老爸的卵翼之下去了，你要怎麼做，獎賞喬治，還是毀掉查理。
Trask: Are you finished, Mr. Slade?
你講完了沒有斯萊德中校。
Frank: No, I"m just getting warmed up! I don"t know who went to this place, William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryant, William Tell, whoever, their spirit is dead, if they ever had one. It"s gone. You"re building a rat ship here, a vessel for seagoing snitches. And if you think you"re preparing these minnows for manhood, you better think again, because I say you"re killing the very spirit this institution proclaims it instills. What a sham! What kind of a show are you guys putting on here today? I mean, the only class in this act is sitting next to me, I"m here to tell you this boy"s soul is intact, it"s non-negotiable, you know how I know, someone here, and I"m not gonna say who, offered to buy it, only Charlie here wasn"t selling.
不。我才剛剛開了個頭，我不知道那些有名的校友是誰——威廉-霍華德塔夫、威廉-詹尼斯-布萊克、威廉-蒂爾，管他呢;他們的精神已經死了，就算有也不在了。你眼下正在打造用來運送告密者的遠洋輪，要是你以為正在把他們培養成男子漢，那麼你想錯了，因為你殺死了恰恰是這種精神，也就這學校所聲稱的立校精神。多麼可恥，你們今天上演的到底是一出什麼樣的鬧劇，在這件事情當中唯一值得誇獎的人就坐在我身邊，讓我告訴你們這個孩子的品行無可挑剔，這是毋庸置疑，以為我不知道，這裡有人~我不說是誰，想收買他。查理不會出賣自己的靈魂
Trask: Sir, you"re out of order.
不要破壞規矩
Frank: I"ll show you out of order. You don"t know what out of order is, Mr. Trask, I"d show you, but I"m too old, I"m too tired, I"m too fucking blind, if I were the man I was five years ago, I"d take a flame thrower to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you"re talking to? I"ve been around, you know? There was a time I could see, and I have seen, boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off, but there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that, you think you"re merely sending this splendid foot solider back home to Oregen with his tail between his legs, but I say you"re executing his soul! And why? Because he is not a Baird man. Baird men, you hurt this boy, you"re gonna be Baird bums, the lot of you. And Harry, Jimmy, and Trent, wherever you are out there, fuck you too!
讓你見識見識什麼是破壞規矩，你不知道什麼叫破壞規矩，克拉斯先生，真該讓你見識，可我太老了!我太累了!該死的我還是個瞎子。要是五年前，我會拿火焰噴射劑把這給燒了，破壞規矩，你以為在跟誰說話，我可是久經殺場，那時候我還能看的見，我看見的是象他們這麼大孩子們胳膊被炸段了，雙腿被截段了，可我從來沒見過孩子們的精神有過任何程度的缺損，他們從不缺少這種精神。你以為你只是把這個優秀的「戰士」潛送回家?讓他回到俄勒岡，從此你們就萬事大吉了嗎?可我要說你們正在謀殺這個孩子的精神，為什麼!就因為他不是一個拜爾德人，拜爾德人?你們傷害了這個孩子，你們就是拜爾德的混蛋，你們全是。哈瑞、吉米、享特，不管你們坐在哪，見你們的鬼。
Trask: Stand down, Mr. Slade!
請你肅靜,斯萊德中校
Frank: I"m not finished. As I came in here, I heard those words: cradle of leadership. Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and it has fallen here, it has fallen. Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you"re producin" here. I don"t know if Charlie"s silence here today is right or wrong, I"m not a judge or jury, but I can tell you this: he won"t sell anybody out to buy his future! And that my friends is called integrity, that"s called courage. Now, that"s the stuff leaders should be made of. Now I have come to crossroads in my life, I always knew what the right path was. Without exception, I knew, but I never took it, you know why, it was too * hard. Now here"s Charlie, he"s come to the crossroads, he has chosen a path. It"s the right path, it"s a path made of principle that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy"s future in your hands, committee, it"s a valuable future, believe me. Don"t destroy it, protect it. Embrace it. It"s gonna make you proud one day, I promise you. How"s that for cornball?
我還說完呢，我剛一進到這裡，就聽到那些話：「未來領袖的搖籃」如果架子斷了，搖籃也就掉了，它已經掉了，它墜落了，造就青年，培養未來的領袖，看吧!要小心了，你們在培養什麼樣的領袖，我不知道!今天查理保持沉默是對還是錯，我雖然不是法官但我可以告訴你，他不會為了自己的前途而出賣任何人。朋友們!這就是人們常說的正直，這就是勇氣，這才是未來領袖所具有的品質。現在我到了一個人生的十字路口，我一向知道哪條路是正確的，這毋庸置疑。我知道，可我沒走，為什麼?因為做到這一點他太堅難了。輪到查理了，他也在一個人生的十字路口，他必須選擇一條路，一條正確的路，一條有原則的路，一條成全他人格的路，讓他沿著這條是繼續前行，這孩子的前途掌握在你們的手裡委員們，他會前途無量的，相信我，別毀了他!保護他!支持他!我保證會有一天你們會為此而感到驕傲。

經典的英語演講很多，比如《I have a dream》等歷史的名篇。看你學習的目的是什麼，如果只是作為英語學習的素材，我覺得都差不多，關鍵在於日積月累。多讀多模仿，練習比知識更重要。如果你想多了解西方社會，可以看看TED的演講，以及美國總統每周講話。如果純粹是想鍛煉自己的英語演講能力，推薦你去看國際演講協會Toastmasters的世界冠軍演講。春季秋季全球峰會冠軍演講合集歡迎關注我的公眾號：布萊爾的蟲洞，我會每周分享一篇演講技巧幹貨。
