宁静致远,始终如一Make it a better place, for you and me. 转帖兼评论:奥巴马胜选演说·文言版最近突然对奥巴马的演讲非常着迷,在网上看还不够,又买来译林出版社出版的,中英双语还附带光盘的《奥巴马演说集》研读之。奥氏不愧历届美国总统中最具技巧和口才者(据说肯尼迪和里根也与之有得一比),演讲稿文采飞扬,旁征博引,排比递进,道古论今;演说更是饱含深情,抑扬顿挫,理性雄辩,铿锵有力。无论读之、听之都让人心潮为之一振,到绝妙处不禁击节叫好。无怪乎奥巴马竞选时的多场演说如同巨星演唱会一般华丽热闹。 美国就是这样一个国度,让人爱也让人狠,爱之“要是我们也这样就好”,恨之“怎么这样对我们”。听奥巴马的演讲,前一个感叹就会蹦出,我们的头头脑脑如果也能多少具备一些这样的表现力该有多好。当然我们的官员讷言慎行有着复杂的现实原因和文化背景,不过政治家如果不能掌握感染人、说服人的本领,这业务素质也很难说是强的。每每看到他们与“官媒”机器与机器搬的对话,看到D报头版排版排得像报表(点我),听到大会小会冗长的一二三四四三二一,叫我如何不想睡呢? 又扯远了,还是回到奥巴马的演讲吧,2008年11月4日,奥巴马竞选获胜,当晚,在芝加哥竞选总部的这场演讲《This is your Victory》相当精彩。更牛的是,居然有人将其议成了文言版(真正的大侠在民间啊),读之更是感慨万千。中国的语言文字无论文白,感染力都是很强的,关键在于其承载的内容和表现的方式了。当然,还是期待我们也能早日听到如此精彩的中文演说。 标题:《奥巴马胜选演说·文言版》 Hello,Chicago! If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America. It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America. A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain. I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House. And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them. And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best — the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you. I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep. This is your victory. And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage or pay their doctors’ bills or save enough for their child’s college education. There’s new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there. There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other. Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too. And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. That’s the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we’ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old. She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin. And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can. At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can. When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can. When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can. She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can. A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can. America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves — if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made? This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can. Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America. 【全球首发,美女妙文】周末二日的流水账博主按:长沙俗语有云,“一天不乐,不得断黑”,人生苦短,有乐子就好,没有乐子就要学会创造乐子。上班上得人烦躁,周末两天免打扰。上周末,在戴总吆喝喧天连拖带扯的努力下,我们又度过了一个快乐的周末。正如戴总所言:“独乐乐不如众乐乐,众乐乐不如杨乐乐,杨乐乐不如……(还有更多的ABB不如CDD)”,欢乐过后一定要留下痕迹,记住欢笑,传播快乐(怎么越写越像给芒果台写宣传稿)。Ylling妹妹不愧麓山才女,昨日从老板那“借来”一天的时间,记下了这个周末的故事。经征求Ylling同意,特在我的部落格中全球首发,以飨观众。 注:文中多处用方言表达,如有疑问,可留言提出,容我之后一一解释。 这个周末可算搞死了,流水账汇报一哈,待我慢慢道来~ 周五: PM6:30跑去西单退鞋,然后买旅行包、七七八八的旅行装, PM7:30和戴总、01碰头晚餐, PM9:00和二刘集结,奔赴后海, PM10:30恰冰激凌至凌晨,戴总接着陪老妹,偶们鸟兽散,回家捡场收拾行装, 2:40终就寝~ 周六: 匆匆赶赴清东陵,沿路多亏小郭那吵死人的GPS,左转转右转转,到了目的地搜寻攻略中的酒店又是一番折腾。酒店安顿后下午3时有余,急欲觅食,走了两圈,除了烂铺子还是烂铺子,邋遢得我们宁愿饿死,终于找到一农家铺,小郭探路,眼见老板一家其乐融融正在米西一大桌,“老板,你们还做饭不?”看了我几眼,纠结了一哈,“好吧”。四人风卷残云一顿,总消费55元,相当符合小郭关于人均15滴预算。 茶足饭饱赶赴景区买票找导游,结果被告知不久将闭馆,言下之意即“你们今天来不及了!”。累计伙计看了个乾隆墓,号称最豪华的地宫,其实soso啊,不过冷气确实足,出地宫天公发宝打雷闪电瓢泼大雨,亏啊,悔啊,怨啊(十分钟下车前,小郭和女刘下车特意把伞丢车上,“噶大的太阳哪会下雨罗”),个个淋了个落汤鸡只好返程,天色尚早于是开发新路线至东陵所谓商业街,前后搜索一圈毫无购物滴可能,遂回宾馆小憩,戴总本是搬出笔记本准备撰写周报,不过几分钟后很正常滴又开始边酣边睡,睡醒“恰饭克,恰饭克”。 再至商业街,找了个火锅店,三层大火锅,几大盆肉,但结果是喜欢丢肉的不是喜欢恰肉的,而喜欢恰肉的眼不明手也不快,但见肉丝和肉星,结果还严重超支,人均近30。 饭毕归宅,洗刷刷,PM10:00开始打牌,9-A,前两局保持着1-1.5小时结束战斗的正常速度,可第三局就“精彩在wo~”了,戴总从开始的嚣张到最后的“盘摸盘残”,而女刘经过一番艰苦滴调教,从不懂套路到渐入佳境兼愈战愈勇。 凌晨很high,1点还早,2点还好,3点小累,4点想死,期间小郭不止一次滴提醒“克噶哒明天还要早起”“等哈可就要天亮了”,可大家抱着不抛弃不放弃滴执着精神,坚持打完这一局,“卫生双百分”居然打至天亮,最后一盘在女刘手里终结,齐齐如释重负“终于可以睡觉了,清东陵之夜好歹算是把博士培养出来了”,天可怜见,戴总其实一晚都在心系周报啊,休息,休息一下,还是明天再写吧~ (东陵次日是重头戏,本与男导相约8:00-8:30,可未曾想双百分学习班开得这么晚,于是小郭于4:36短信男导“我们早上有点事,会稍微晚点,大概十点多和你短信联系”,然后关机安心睡觉!) 周日: 开至景区与男导碰头,免不了一番碎碎念,为了不打击他的讲解情绪,我们采取“不辩不言不齿”滴六字方针专心朝圣,接着参观慈禧墓、珍妃墓、二郎神庙……(大同小异,略去百把字),奇珍异宝仅剩图片,残棺破馆比比皆是,唉,就像这老佛爷,贴一殿的金子又噢斯罗,过世才二十年就被军阀偷了个精光,连尸衣都给扒个精光,尸身遗弃角落,可悲可叹啊。 离开东陵,中午至龙门口水库,小郭洗了几个阿杏,戴总换了条清爽短裤,二刘晒了几分钟太阳,继续出发,目标锁定蓟县千年古刹独乐寺,途中GPS还小筐一瓢,导着我们驶向一土堆,土堆后大山巍峨,毫无前进空间,难道是要我们愚公移山吗?“有宝摆”司机小伙怒从心生。掉头再走,终至独乐寺,“门票40,太贵哒”,“抢钱摆,噶贵都可以克故宫了”,团友经过一番探讨,游寺活动改为寺前品山寨圣代。 时针指向pm,又开始搜食记,诺大一县城找个干净饭铺也极为不易,以门口泊车数量为参考,最后锁定一“燕鲍翅特价8折”店,不过就戴总一个人吃了“鱼翅”,还咽了一碗白饭,解释为“逢吃鱼,回吃回卡”。 饭毕飞车上路,途中,周报领导再次催促,戴总心急火燎,还未动笔且尚未回京,真的很赶啊。行进途中,女刘发扬上车即睡风,男刘保持怀抱GPS态,小郭强打精神和司机小伙策,快了,近了,终于,二刘醒了,女刘伸了个懒腰,男刘“噶GPS吵死人,可以关噶哒摆”。 (流水至此,饥饿难耐,困乏难抵,午睡起来接着流……) 回京了,第一站赴西单位置(昨夜大火)接戴总小妹,这就是传说中的美国小妹,火场逃生的小妹,喜欢穿高跷鞋的小妹。据小妹口述,火灾发生之时,她当机立断抛弃行李,仅带着随身包包,并迅速回忆了急救常识,找了块湿毛巾跑下宾馆。如此临危不乱,果真是美貌与智慧并重啊。 下一站宁国府,致电宁公,“墨子情况?”“在准备列,黄瓜煮鳝鱼啦!”,这里,不得不提一下这顿丰盛晚餐的由来。故事起源于四年前,清东陵这个项目本是宁公发起,小郭,玥玥,二刘当时都是被邀嘉宾,女刘还特意看了东陵大盗系列书籍,可由于种种原因,四年来都无法成行。2009,风风火火的戴总来了,周五吆喝,周六就出发,可怜宁公周六要上课,周日约了修窗户,最终无法同行,本以为会从此大受打击,没想到贤惠宁公主动提出为大家接风,其实也为大秀厨技,伺机加分。 虽然东陵并无特产,然未给大厨带任何礼物,小郭提了自己没吃完的杏,但戴总仍觉不妥,行至小区门口,遍寻印象中的美味烧鸡,既为见面礼,又可饱腹(实为元宵佳节的经验教训,就一最简单的火锅餐,结果肉买少了菜买少了,最后靠速冻汤圆和戴总外出买的阿肯全家桶才归了元)(博主注:点击此处可见当日博文),烧鸡无影,搜寻了两西瓜,绝对公费,项目是“礼品费”。 小郭敲门,宁公开,递一钥匙,不解,脑筋短路n秒,原来是让大家门口换鞋,开柜自理,这公务员就是名堂多啊,很难得接住坨。“今天会少菜不?”“那不得,我都是跟得盒饭一样的大盆大盆。”放心了,搞饭的继续搞饭,扯谈的继续扯谈,唯独要写周报的在书房耐不住寂寞,实在是看不得大家休闲。 开吃,鳝鱼煮黄瓜、油豆腐烧肉、湖藕炖排骨、猪耳朵炒辣椒,腐乳空心菜,今天还是比较成功滴,宁公极为得色,席间不住询问“今天加分了冒”,无人应答。女刘关注滴点不同:“现在鳝鱼好多钱一斤啊?”宁公:“反正嘎是30多块钱滴!”戴总:“啊!那克嘎哒,外头点一份也才40多啦!”小郭:“重点不是鳝鱼,而是湖南紫苏好吧!”是滴,除了湖南紫苏,还有戴总钟爱滴八角,“嘎汤里噢该不放点列?”红烧肉因为八角也美味,但湖藕炖排骨就搞不清了,或许在戴总心中,八角就像辣椒一样,随墨子菜放点都好恰。 饭后活动,有人在看焦点访谈,有人依然在纠结周报,宁公为了把大家凝结成一股绳,特意拿出迪拜水烟壶,欲表演一番吞云吐雾,装壶,点炭,冒烟,起火,最后总结,炭买错了,表演失败了,热热闹闹上演了一出“火烧宁国府”,小郭忙着拿铁扇扫烟,女刘暗自摇头,小妹掩不住的失望,男刘依然焦点访谈,而周报男只好继续周报。 一场失败的秀其实并不打紧,真正的好戏还在后头,培训班一期优秀学员女刘号召“打牌不落”,于是新格局展开,只是戴总换成了宁公。虽然宁公口口声声不太会玩,但起步水平貌似比女刘略好,想来只是谦虚之辞,小郭和女刘依然是老搭档,男刘负责培养新进学员。 打了三盘,发现宁公不是不太会玩,而是真的很不会玩,男刘无奈,女刘暗笑,小郭依然是嬉笑暗讽,欲把培养女刘那一套搬宁公身上。第四把,戴总上,想着双星合璧,一定天下无敌,不过事实证明,博士就是博士阿,那硬是灵范得乐,而宁公只能用十二字箴言来形容:嘴巴不停,脑壳不转,牌技不涨。打张牌要碎碎念两分钟,分析n分钟加指正n分钟,可怜戴总唾沫横飞,教学加实战,宁公最后一句“你们把我说晕了”,反正是急死戴总没商量,培训班第二期失败,新进学员潜力或许还有,但目前最关键的是要培养兴趣和信心(参考宁公今日签名档:看来真的不适合棋牌游戏,只能靠做好服务取悦你们了),再怎么说,侨联同志也不能只晓得打桥牌萨! 宁国府依依惜别,经过一番左绕右绕,小郭回府,又是凌晨,短夜无眠啊。至此,清东陵两日游圆满结束,此番旅行一路经典,“梅花鹿,ur big”女刘从此迈入优质牌友一列,“生前风光死后凄惨”,男刘关于帝王也有难料事的感伤, “东陵适合练弯道”,小戴如何300公里成了北京老司机。 至于小郭嘛,戴总评价“原来还是蛮强势滴!”哈哈~ 最后,感谢宁公的盛情招待,感谢司机小戴滴不辞辛劳,感谢二刘一路很不河蟹滴吵闹提神,感谢GPS大哥在关键时刻给与的帮助,小郭的流水帐暂记到此,同时也感谢兼姐百忙之中抽出ICBC的宝贵时间来通读千字小文,辛苦大家哒!
博主后记:一边编辑我就一边想把“宁公”改作“宁公子”,无奈还是尊重原创为要。Ylling的十二字箴言所言极是,看来我苦练牌技还需时日啊。戴总周一替我总结:“昨晚你那一个博士三个硕士,一个白领一个司机,人气相当的高啊!”我说那你就不是一般的司机拉,那是掌舵的司机,没有你高涨的兴致和交通工具,东陵之行那只是念在口里四年的计划而已。搞活动出身的就是不如搞项目出身的啊!希望今后多有这样的机会。另外,西瓜买得很好,特别是留下的那只,昨晚剖开又甜又沙,谢了。最后,宁国府失物招领:周报同志留下的笔,博士留下的毛巾,看你们什么时候来拿? 今年长沙的高考楹联(敏感期过去,终于解禁了!) 去年高考的时候,写了篇《长沙高考考场楹联》的帖子,颇受大家关注。今年又到高考,长沙的考场依然挂起了楹联,不过已有新闻媒体作了详细的分析,关注的各位可以点击此处去看看。(长沙市一中还在自己的网站上作了详细的解释,猛击此处可见。) 红歌大家唱:血染的风采
