名人英语演讲 Harry S. Truman: "The Truman
Doctrine"
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Congress of the United
States: The gravity of the situation which confronts the world
today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the
Congress. The foreign policy and the national security of this
country are involved. One aspect of the present situation, which I
present to you at this time for your consideration and decision,
concerns Greece and Turkey. The United States has received from
the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic
assistance. Preliminary reports from the American Economic
Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador
in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that
assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation.
I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish
to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government. Greece is
not a rich country. Lack of sufficient natural resources has always
forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet.

Since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered
invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal
strife. When forces of liberation entered Greece they found that
the retreating Germans had destroyed virtually all the railways,
roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine. More
than a thousand villages had been burned. Eighty-five per cent of
the children were tubercular. Livestock, poultry, and draft animals
had almost disappeared. Inflation had wiped out practically all
savings. As a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority,
exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political
chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.
Greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those
goods which are essential to bare subsistence. Under these
circumstances, the people of Greece cannot make progress in
solving their problems of reconstruction. Greece is in desperate
need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume
purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds. These are indispensable
for the
subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad.
Greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore
internal order and security, so essential for economic and political
recovery. The Greek Government has also

asked for the assistance of experienced American administrators,
economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other
aid given to Greece shall be
used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy
and in improving its public administration.
The very existence of the Greek state is today threatened by the
terrorist activities of several thousand armed men, led by
Communists, who defy the government's authority at a
number of points, particularly along the northern boundaries. A
Commission appointed by the United Nations security Council is at
present investigating disturbed conditions in northern Greece and
alleged border violations along the frontiers between Greece on the
one hand and Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia on the other.
Meanwhile, the Greek Government is unable to cope with the
situation. The Greek army is small and poorly equipped. It needs
supplies and equipment if it is to restore authority of the
government throughout Greek territory. Greece must
have assistance if it is to become a self-supporting and
self-respecting democracy. The United States must supply this
assistance. We have already extended to Greece certain types of
relief and economic aid. But these are inadequate. There is no other
country to which democratic Greece can turn. No other nation is

willing and able to provide the necessary support for a democratic
Greek
government.

2005年6月12日Remembering that you are going to die is the
best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to
lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your
time is limited, so don't waste it living someone
else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living
with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the
noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And
most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary。

自己内心的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你 的内心与直觉，
它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。其他的，都是次要

2005年5月21日There are these two young fish swimming along
and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way,
who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How's the
water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then
eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What
the hell is water?”... simple awareness; awareness of what is so real
and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time,
that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:“This is
water。”“This is water。”It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay
conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out。
有两条小鱼一起在水里游，碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老 鱼向他

往前游了一会儿后， 其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了，看了一下另一
条小鱼，问道:“水到底是什么东西?”……简单的意识;对 我们生

水。”“这是水。”天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活，在成人世界中做
