第12章 非常时刻(11)

I have only one thing I hope to convey to you today. We are all human beings, individuals transcending nationality and race and religion, and we are all fragile eggs faced with a solid wall called The System.BTo all appearances, we have no hope of winning.The wall is too high, too strong and too cold.CIf we have any hope of victory at all, it will have to come from our believing in the utter uniqueness and irreplaceability of our own and others"souls and from our believing in the warmth we gain by joining souls together.

Take a moment to think about this. Each of us possesses a tangible, living soul.The System has no such thing.We must not allow the System to exploit us.We must not allow the System to take on a life of its own.The System did not make us:we made the System.

That is all I have to say to you.

I am grateful to have been awarded the Jerusalem Prize. I am grateful that my books are being read by people in many parts of the world.And I would like to express my gratitude to the readers in lsrael.You are the biggest reason why I am here.And I hope we are sharing something, something very meaningful.And I am glad to have had the opportunity to speak to you here today.

Thank you very much.

to all appearances显然,看来。例如:He was to all outward appearances dead.他显然已经死了。

CIf we have any hope of victory at all, it will have to come from our believing in the utter uniqueness and irreplaceability of our own and others"souls and from our believing in the warmth we gain by joining souls together.

假如我们有任何赢的希望,那一定来自我们对于自身及他人灵魂绝对的独特性和不可替代性的信任,来自于我们灵魂聚集一处获得的温暖。

Good morning.Monday is Memorial Day and all across America this weekend, people are remembering those who fought for freedom and who gave their lives in service to their country.

AHere in the Nation"s Capital, Saturday has a special significance as we dedicate the World War II Memorial in the presence of thousands of veterans of that conflict. When it mattered most, an entire generation of Americans stepped forward to fight evil and show the finest qualities of our nation, and of humanity.

The World War II Memorial will stand forever as a tribute to the generation that fought that war, and to the more than 400,000 Americans who gave their lives. Because of their sacrifice, tyrants fell;fascism and Nazism were vanquished;and freedom prevailed.

BToday, freedom faces new enemies, and a new generation of Americans has stepped forward to defeat them. Since the hour this nation was attacked on September the 11th,2001,we have seen the character of the men and women who wear our country"s uniform.In places like Kabul and Kandahar, Mosul and Baghdad, we have seen their decency and brave spirit.And because of their fierce courage, America is safer.And two terror regimes are gone forever, and more than 50 million souls now live in freedom.

Our mission continues, and we will see it through to victory. We have a strategy to defeat our terrorist enemy, and a plan to help establish lasting freedom in lraq.The stakes are high, and they are clear.The enemy seeks to establish a new haven for terror and violence at the heart of the Middle East.They seek to force free nations to retreat into isolation and fear, yet we will persevere, and defeat this enemy, and hold this hard-won ground for the realm of liberty.

Through our history, America has gone to war reluctantly because we have known the costs of war. And in every generation, it is the best among us who are called to pay that price.CThose who have paid those costs have given us every moment we live in freedom, and every living American is in their debt.We can never repay what they gave for this country.But on this holiday, we acknowledge the debt by showing our respect and gratitude.
