An inspiring person to me(about five minutes)
Ladies and gentlemen:
Good morning! Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of America, possessed a legendary life and exerted a tremendous inspiration on me. It is his story that motivated me and encouraged me when adversities come to me. From him, I come to realize that if one can do something by persistence, then he or she will be extraordinary and succeed sooner or later. Now please allow me to briefly tell you about him.
At the age of 22, he suffered a lot from his business, which made him awfully disappointed. Then he turned his mind into being a politician. Unfortunately, without enough economic funding and reputation, he failed again. Defeated twice in one year, he was undoubtedly painful.
Subsequently, he decided to run for the election of state legislator for the second time, this time, he succeeded. From then on, he grew a hope that maybe he would rapidly go up in the world.
Sadly, another misfortune fell on him after several years, his wife, as well as his spiritual support, passed away because of illness. This might be an extreme shock to him and he was next to collapsed. In 1843, he lost again in his election of American representatives. However, instead of being despair, Abraham Lincoln overcame his depression and turned it into a motivation which eventually led him to become arguably one of the greatest presidents in America. Moreover, he got over constant ridicule during the Civil War even when he was a president. But he never became dejected because of it.
Actually, Abraham Lincoln could have given up every time he suffered.But, he faced up to all the difficulties with a brave heart anda strong will. He was one of those who not only looked adversity in an optimistic way but also learned valuable lessons on overcoming difficult circumstances and were able to move ahead.
It inspires me a lot. As we all know, 800-meter-race is the necessary item to be tested in every semester, lacking adequate exercise, I always can’t finish the whole race. Since I learned more about Lincoln, every time I want to give up half way, his deeds will linger in my mind, this always supports me to achieve my goals. Never give up and everything is promising.
No quitting, so winning. It is the perseverance that keeps bright the key to the door of achievement so we have no reason but to persist in everything we are doing.
As Abraham Lincoln himself said, “I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.” Facing up difficulties, he didn’t hang back or run away, but hold on and fight for it instead. He had never thought how he should do if he failed again, but just kept on.
There is no doubt that Abraham Lincoln is so great that he could inspire us all our life. No matter what time, no matter what may happen, I will never allow myself to give up. This spirit, will become my lifelong navigation.
Thank you for your attention.
林肯的英語演講稿 [篇2]
I am honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
今天,我很榮幸能和你們一起參加畢業典禮,斯坦福大學是世界上最好的大學之一。說實話,(雖然)我從來沒有從大學中畢業,但今天是我生命中離大學畢業最近的一天了。今天我想向你們講述我生活中的三個故事。不說大道理,就是三個故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots.
第一個故事是關于如何把生命中的點點滴滴串連起來。
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
我在里德學院讀了六個月之后就退學了,但是在十八個月以后,我還經常去學校。我為什么要退學呢?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do
you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption pa-pe-rs. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. This was the start in my life. 故事要從我的出生說起。我的親生母親是一名年輕未婚的大學畢業生。她決定讓別人收養我,她十分想讓大學畢業生收養我。所以在我出生前,她已經準備一切,讓一位律師和他的妻子收養。但是她沒有料到,在我出生后,律師夫婦突然決定要一個女孩。所以,我的養父養母(他們當時還在候選名單上)突然在半夜接到了一個電話:“我們有一個意外降生的男嬰,你們想收養他嗎?”他們回答說: “當然!” 但是我親生母親隨后發現,我的養母從未上過大學,我的養父高中沒畢業。于是她拒絕簽訂收養合同。但在幾個月以后,因為我的養父養母答應她一定要讓我上大學,她才心軟同意了。
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I na-iv-ely chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.
在十七歲那年,我的確上大學了。但我天真地選擇了一個幾乎和斯坦福大學一樣貴的學校,我父母還處于工薪階層,為了交學費,他們幾乎耗光所有積蓄。六個月后,我幾乎看不到在學校的價值。我不知道(我生命中)要追求什么,我也不知道學校是否能幫我找到答案。但在學校,我將花光我父母這一輩子的積蓄。所以,我決定退學,并且我相信車到山前必有路。(不可否認),我當時非常害怕,但現在回頭來看,這個決定是我一生中最明智決定之一。在我做出退學決定后,我再也不用去上那些我絲毫沒有興趣的必修課,我開始去聽那些看起來有趣的課程。
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
這一點也不浪漫。沒了宿舍,所以我要到朋友家睡地板;為了填飽肚子,我撿過值5美分的可樂罐;為了每周一頓的好一點的飯,每個星期天晚上,我穿街過巷,步行7英里到Hare Krishna教堂。我喜歡那里的飯菜。在好奇和直覺的引導下,我跌跌撞撞地遇到很多東西,這些后來被證明是無價瑰寶。我給你們舉一個例子吧:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful,
historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
那時候,里德學院的書法課程也許是全美最好的。學校里的每個海報,抽屜上的每個標簽,上面全都是漂亮的書法。因為我退學了,沒有了正常的課程,所以我決定去上/書法課,去學學怎樣寫出漂亮的字。我學到了san serif 和serif字體,我學會了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中變化間距,還有怎么樣做最好的版式。那種美感、真實感和藝術感,是科學永遠不能捕捉到的,(我發現)那實在是太迷人了。
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
當時這些東西似乎在我生命中沒什么可用之處。但十年之后,當我們在設計第一臺Macintosh計算機的時候,就全部派上用場。我把當時我學的那些東西全都融入到Mac。那是擁有漂亮字體的第一臺計算機。如果我當時沒有退學,我沒機會沉迷于書法課程,Mac就不會有種類繁多或的行距整齊的字體。如果Windows沒有抄襲Mac,個人電腦很可能就不會這么多字體。如果我沒有退學,
我不會沉迷于書法課程,個人電腦很可能就不會這么多字體。當然了,我在學校的時候不可能把這些點點滴滴提前串連起來。但在十年之后回顧過去,這些東西歷歷在目。
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it would made all the difference.
再說一次,你不可能把這些點點滴滴提前串連起來;你只能在回顧的時候把它們串連起來。所以你必須相信這些點點滴滴是和你的未來項鏈的。你必須要相信某些東西:直覺、命運、生命、因緣等等。這個方法從未讓我失望過,它讓我與眾不同。

Abraham Lincoln, an Influential President in the American History
The United States of America is a country with a president system. The president of USA is not only head of the state and the government, but also administrative departments of the supreme leader and army commander, usually called Mr.President. There are 44 presidents in the history of the United States. Abraham Lincoln is the 16th one who maintained the unity of the nation and abolished the slavery that influenced the nation much. He is the first Republican president and also ranked among the greatest president ranked first. USA once held a poll in 2015--"the greatest Americans", Lincoln was elected America figure of second. He is one of the most popular presidents.
On February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in a poor family in Hardin County in Kentucky prefecture. His parents are descendants of British immigrants, taking farming and hunting.When he was young, he helped the family move firewood, water, do farm work and so on.In 1816, Lincoln's family moved to Indiana Southwest. At his age of 9, his mother died who was just 36 years old. Second years, his father married a kindness and enlightened woman named Sarah Bush, and the family lived happily. Because of poverty, his education degree wasn't high. In order to earn money, he was a ferry worker on the Ohio River and a plantation worker when he was young.
Lincoln is a man who loves reading. At his young age, he read all the writings of Shakespeare and "American history", also read lots of books about history and literature.He became a learned and wisdom man through self-study. He ran for state senator that meant he embarked on a political road since 1832. Finally he was electedpresident in 1860. In the 28 years, he has undergone a lot of difficulties that normal people cannot imagine. Eight elections, eight voted out, twice failed in business, and even once mental collapse, many times, he could give up, but he didn't. Just because of not giving up, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America.The teacher of the revolution Marx highly evaluated Lincoln, "he is a man who will not be scared by difficulties, not to confuse for success, he refuse to be cowed or submit to his great goal, but never act rashly and blindly, he steadily forward, and never back;...... In a word, he is a rare character that achieved the great realm and still maintained his excellent quality". Owing to his view of abolishing slavery, Lincoln's election, threatened the benefits of the Southern plantation owners. They certainly don't want a man who advocates the abolition of slavery as their president. Then the Civil War broke out in 1861.
At the beginning of the war, Lincoln tried to seek the policy that compromised with the Southern plantation owners. With the military losing ground, Lincoln realized that to abolish slavery truly, there must have sacrifice, peaceful means can not solve any problems. If they want to win the war, they must transfer the enthusiasm of farmers, abolish the slavery, and liberate black slaves .In 1862 May, Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. This measure eliminated the possibility of southern slave owners to seize the western land fundamentally, but also met the urgent needs of the peasants, greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers to participate in. On January 1, 1863, "Emancipation Proclamation" was promulgated formally, announced the abolition of slavery in the rebel states today, the liberated slaves can call in the union army. Announced the slaves free, fundamentally undermined the rebels' fighting force, meanwhile, the Yankees had abundant manpower.In 1864, Lincoln put forward slogan that "the people, by the people". It enhanced troop's morale. In April, 1865, the Yankees achieved victory in the Civil War, meaning the war that lasted four years ended. The Civil War is called the second revolution after the War of Independence. Lincoln beca
me a symbol of black liberation.
Because Lincoln can adapt to the demand of the masses, destroyed slavery in a revolutionary way, and solved the people's demand for land in the Civil War of the most critical juncture, thus he promoted the development of America's capitalism, and made important contributions to safeguard national unity and liberate black slaves. Due to the excellent achievements of Abraham Lincoln, he was elected as America's president again on November 8, 1864. However, Lincoln haven't put his post-war policies into effect, tragedy happened. Because slave owners hatred Lincoln extremely. On April 14, 1865 night at ten fifteen, fifth days after the surrender of the Southern army. Lincoln was attacked by an assassin in Ford theatre in Washington. Lincoln's unfortunate death caused a huge shock at home and abroad. American people conveyed profound condolences to him, about 7,000,000 people stood mourning funeral procession on both sides of the road, and there are 1,500,000 people looked at Lincoln's face with reverence.
Lincoln was buried in his hometown -- Illinois Springfield. His wife was later buried in there, too. So far, motor vehicle license plate of Illinois's self-proclaimed "State of Lincoln". In 1867, to commemorate Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents in American's history, the county town of Lancaster County, renamed the Lincoln, and became the state's capital.
Although not to receive advanced education, Lincoln has excellent eloquence and grace, the direct embodiment is the famous Gettysburg address. The last sentence became the definition of modern democratic government: to enable us to get free living under God in this country, the government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. There are four presidential giant statues in the Rushmore National Park, Lincoln's is in the right. Lincoln Memorial in the capital of America-- Washington ,is located on the National Mall, is one of the most famous monuments of the national.
Lincoln is an outstanding statesman, also a distinguished lawyer. In order to promote the development of American social, Abraham Lincoln has made tremendous contributions. He gained American's respect, his popularity even more than Washington in American's mind. Remembered for his integrity, kindness and strong personality, he has been one of the American history's most admired president. Historians regard Washington as the father, while Lincoln as the National salvation. In American, the third Monday of February each year is the "President's Day", to commemorate the two great leaders. In brief, Abraham Lincoln is the influential president in the American history.

At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of his great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it; all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving teing delivered from thisurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war-seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by
negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. Their slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict theterritorialen largement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. That of neither has
been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of
offenses; for it must need be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comet." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern there in any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away? Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago so still it must be said "The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the might, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
