23、穿越海洋女士们、先生们，晚上好。今天，我演讲的题目是:穿越海洋。英国诗人罗得雅德吉卜林曾写过一首诗，名叫我们与他们，其中写道:像我们的人是我们其余的人是他们我们生活在海这边他们生活在路那边我们用牛角柄的刀叉吃猪牛肉吞吃粽叶包饭的他们吓得要死。第一次读到这首诗，我很震惊过去两个民族何以如此疏离、彼此陌生?当然今日的社会呈现出完全不同的情景:那些过去吃米饭的人们也开始喜欢吃鱼和薯条。 的确如此，就拿中国来说，西方的生活方式已经广泛地影响了我们的现代生活，以致对于年轻人对摇滚乐着迷，全家去吃麦当劳，老年人穿苹果牌牛仔裤，大家都已习以为常。 然而，这不过是我们当今社会中所发生的文化变迁的表面现象而已，
24、真正发生的却是我们的民族心理开始了微妙而又有重大意义的重建，大家只要看看周围就会清楚。 不久以前，大学生还只是束手空坐，等待政府给他们分配工作;如今，又有多少大学生正在做充分准备，为争取任何工作机会而激烈角逐? 20年前年轻人还完全依靠父母为他们安排未来，今天又有多少年轻人在急切地寻求一种独立的生活?试问今天参加演讲比赛的诸位，谁不是带着志在一搏的心情来到这里?谁不是铁下心来赢得这场比赛以实现自我?如今年轻人毫无顾忌地宣泄情感当众亲吻，我确信，倘若孔子在世，他必被吓坏。 很明显，我们这些东方古老文明的后裔们早已生活在西方文化的强烈影响之下，然而出现这种异质文化合流的现象不止是在中国。 以美国为
25、例，20世纪80年代，面对来自日本的强大竞争压力，许多美国公司如福特公司开始采用对手的集体合作管理方式，而这种方式正是东方文化核心之精华。 再以中华针灸为例，这种传统的医疗方法以及这种疗法的依据即人体阴阳失调导致疾病最终得到西方社会的承认，而在过去，西方人还认为这是无稽之谈。 女士们，先生们，我们恰逢一个伟大的时代:全球经济一体化、信息革命使得世界各种文化联系比以往更加紧密;我们恰逢一个特殊的年代:无论是东方国家还是西方国家都意识到自身急需调整传统价值。与此同时，我们正生活在发展的关键时刻:种族冲突，地区动荡正越来越威胁着整个人类的和平与幸福。如何对待这一时代，拥抱更加灿烂的未来，我们需要学会
26、在越来越小的世界大家庭中更加和睦地生活。 亲爱的同学们，我们掌握英语，得以了解西方文化，与此同时，又不失本民族的文化特征。 因此，促进中国与世界的文化交流与相互理解是我们神圣的责任。 我有一个美好的梦想，我梦想中国的年轻一代不仅仅在喝可口可乐、看好莱坞影片中成长，而且还受益于我们的父辈所从未梦想过的多元文化所带来的深远影响。 最后，再次以罗得雅德吉卜林的诗作为我此次演讲的结尾:像我们的人是我们其余的人是他们然而一旦你们穿洋越海就不会再把我们看做仅仅是他们。谢谢。 good evening, my fellow americans.tonight i want to talk to you on
27、 a subject of deep concern to all americans and to many people in all parts of the world, the war in vietnam.i believe that one of the reasons for the deep division about vietnam is that many americans have lost confidence in what their government has told them about our policy. the american people
28、cannot and should not be asked to support a policy which involves the overriding issues of war and peace unless they know the truth about that policy.tonight, therefore, i would like to answer some of the questions that i know are on the minds of many of you listening to me.how and why did america g
29、et involved in vietnam in the first place?how has this administration changed the policy of the previous administration?what has really happened in the negotiations in paris and the battlefront in vietnam?what choices do we have if we are to end the war?what are the prospects for peace?now let me be
30、gin by describing the situation i found when i was inaugurated on jan. 20th: the war had been going on for four years. thirty-one thousand americans had been killed in action. the training program for the south vietnamese was behind schedule. five hundred forty-thousand americans were in vietnam wit
31、h no plans to reduce the number. no progress had been made at the negotiations in paris and the united states had not put forth a comprehensive peace proposal.the war was causing deep division at home and criticism from many of our friend, as well as our enemies, abroad.in view of these circumstance
32、s, there were some who urged withdrawal of all american forces. from a political standpoint, this would have been a popular and easy course to follow. after all, we became involved in the war while my predecessor was in office. i could blame the defeat, which would be the result of my action, on him
33、 - and come out as the peacemaker. some put it to me quite bluntly: this was the only way to avoid allowing johnson¡¯s war to become nixon¡¯s war.but i had a greater obligation than to think only of the years of my administration, and of the next election. i had to think of the
34、 effect of my decision on the next generation, and on the future of peace and freedom in america, and in the world.let us all understand that the question before us is not whether some americans are for peace and some americans are against peace. the question at issue is not whether johnson¡&m
35、acr;s war becomes nixon¡¯s war. the great question is: how can we win america¡¯s peace?well, let us turn now to the fundamental issue: why and how did the united states become involved in vietnam in the first place? fifteen years ago north vietnam, with the logistical support o
36、f communist china and the soviet union, launched a campaign to impose a communist government on south vietnam by instigating and supporting a revolution.in response to the request of the government of south vietnam, president eisenhower sent economic aid and military equipment to assist the people o
37、f south vietnam in their efforts of prevent a communist takeover. seven years ago, president kennedy sent 16,000 military personnel to vietnam as combat advisers. four years ago, president johnson sent american combat forces to south vietnam.now many believe that president johnson¡¯s deci
38、sion to send american combat forces to south vietnam was wrong. and many others, i among them, have been strongly critical of the way the war has been conducted.but the question facing us today is - now that we are in the war, what is the best way to end it?in january i could only conclude that the
39、precipitate withdrawal of all american forces from vietnam would be a disaster not only for south vietnam but for the united states and for the cause of peace.for the south vietnamese, our precipitate withdrawal would inevitably allow the communists to repeat the massacres which followed their takeo
40、ver in the north 15 years before. they then murdered more than 50,000 people and hundreds of thousands more died in slave labor camps.we saw a prelude of what would happen in south vietnam when the communists entered the city of hue last year. during their brief rule there, there was a bloody reign
41、of terror in which 3,000 civilians were clubbed, shot to death, and buried in mass graves.with the sudden collapse of our support, these atrocities at hue would become the nightmare of the entire nation and particularly for the million-and-a half catholic refugees who fled to south vietnam when the
42、communists took over in the north.for the united states this first defeat in our nation¡¯s history would result in a collapse of confidence in american leadership not only in asia but throughout the world.three american presidents have recognized the great stakes involved in vietnam and u
43、nderstood what had to be done.in 1963 president kennedy with his characteristic eloquence and clarity said we want to see a stable government there, carrying on the struggle to maintain its national independence.we believe strongly in that. we are not going to withdraw from that effort. in my opinio
44、n, for us to withdraw from that effort would mean a collapse not only of south vietnam but southeast asia. so we¡¯re going to stay there.president eisenhower and president johnson expressed the same conclusion during their terms of office.for the future of peace, precipitate withdrawal wo
45、uld be a disaster of immense magnitude. a nation cannot remain great if it betrays its allies and lets down its friends. our defeat and humiliation in south vietnam without question would promote recklessness in the councils of those great powers who have not yet abandoned their goals of world conqu
46、est. this would spark violence wherever our commitments help maintain the peace - in the middle east, in berlin, eventually even in the western hemisphere. ultimately, this would cost more lives. it would not bring peace. it would bring more war.for these reasons i rejected the recommendation i shou
47、ld end the war by immediately withdrawing all of our forces. i chose instead to change american policy on both the negotiating front and the battle front in order to end the war on many fronts. i initiated a pursuit for peace on many fronts. in a television speech on may 14, in a speech before the u
48、nited nations, on a number of other occasions, i set forth our peace proposals in great detail.we have offered the complete withdrawal of all outside forces within one year. we have proposed to cease fire under international supervision. we have offered free elections under international supervision with the communists participating in the organization and co
