*In Other Ways
#其他开场方式欣赏
Today I come to Oslo as a trustee, inspired and with renewed dedication to humanity; I accept this prize on behalf of all men who loved peace and brotherhood. I say I come as a trustee, for in the depths of my heart I am aware that this prize is much more than an honor to me personally.
今天,我以受托人的身份来到奥斯陆,心情激动,充满了献身人类的新勇气。我代表所有热爱和平与兄弟情谊的人们接受这个奖。我之所以以受托人的身份来到这里,是因为,在我的内心深处,我意识到这个奖决不仅仅是我个人的荣誉。
The road of history is not level and smooth all along. Sometimes the path will come to a dangerous and difficult place.
It is only with the valiant and gallant spirit of the travelers that it can be passed through.
The vast and mighty Yangtzi River, when it comes to an endless, broad plain, will flow ten thousand miles in a rapid current. But as it reaches a narrow valley with high ranges of mountains, cliffs and precipices on both sides, which look dangerously steep, the river has to force its way through them in a winding, tortuous course. The same is the case with the developing course of a nation"s history.
The history of human race is like going on a journey. Some of the places the traveler passes through are smooth and level pianos, and others are dangerous and rugged paths. The experienced travelers, when they moved on to a broad, level road, will naturally walk along with a light heart, but while they are passing through a rugged place they will all the more be seized with curiosity, and in such an extremely fantastic and magnificent realm, will all the more feel a sort of pleasure in an adventure.
历史的道路,不总是平坦的,有时会变得艰难险阻。这只能靠英勇无畏的精神才能够冲过去。
一条浩浩荡荡的长江大河,有时流到很宽阔的境界,一望无际,一泻千里。有时流到很逼狭的境界,两岸丛山叠岭,绝壁断崖,江河流于其间,曲折迂回,极为险峻。民族生命的进展,其历程亦复如是。
人类在历史上的生活正如旅行一样。旅途上的征人所经过的地方有时是坦荡平原,有时是崎岖险路。老于旅途的人,走到平坦的地方固是高高兴兴地向前走,走到崎岖的境界,愈是奇趣横生,觉得在此奇艳壮绝的境界,愈能感得一种冒险的美趣。
My fellow and my friends;
Once I read a piece of news report. It says, "A middle school student in a remote mountainous area was doing his revision at home one day. His brother, whose age excelled school age, was playing and drawing on the paper with his elder brother"s pencil at his side. Suddenly the younger brother raised his head thoughtfully, his little eyes were winking, and said to his brother seriously, "When will it thirty-second, brother?" The elder brother looked at his innocent younger brother and said with a smile, "What are you going to do on that thirty-second?" "Papa promised me to send me to school," said his younger brother. His brother, the middle school student looked at his lovely brother and his heart seemed to be stitched with needles. My God! My parents were working day and night in order to be able to afford my schooling. They were exhausted. How could they afford my younger brother"s schooling? Oh, thirty-second ...
My dear friends, hearing this, didn"t you feel sorry for them? We share the same native land, the same blue sky under the sun. Why cannot they be given lesson at school, sitting in the bright and big classroom? We are used to saying that education goes first before vitalizing the country. But now the country"s fiscal solvency and material resources are not ample enough. What should we do? It requires that we should be of one heart and exert our efforts for our motherland.
同胞们,朋友们:
我曾看过这样一则报道:"某边远山区一个中学生,一天在家复习功课,一旁的已过入学年龄的小弟弟拿他的铅笔在纸上写着、涂着、画着,突然若有所思地仰起小脸,眨巴几下小眼睛,认真地问:"哥哥,什么时候才到32号呀?"这位中学生看看天真的小弟弟,笑着逗他:"32号你要干啥?""爸爸说,到32号才能送我去上学。"中学生望着可爱的小弟弟,内心针扎般难受:天哪,父母为了供自己上学,整日操劳,身体都累垮了,哪还有能力再送弟弟上学?啊!32号......"
朋友们,当你听了这个故事,你不感到痛心吗?同在一片故土上,同在一片蓝天下,为什么他们不能坐在宽敞明亮的教室里去读书?我们常说:国家要振兴,教育须先行。而我国的财力、物力都不宽裕,怎么办?这就需要全社会的人齐心协力为国家分忧,为国家出力!
