good evening.
just moments ago�i spoke with george .w.bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the united states�and i promised him that i wouldn’t call him back this time.
i offered to meet with him as soon as possible so that we can start to heal the divisons of the campaign and the contest through which we just passed.
almost a century and a half ago� senator stephen douglas told abraham lincoln�who had just defeated him for the presidency�“partisan feeling must yield to patriotism�i’m with you �mr.president � and god bless you.”
well �in that same spirit� i say to president-elect bush that what remains of partisan rancor must now be put aside � and may god bless his stewardship of this country.
neither he nor i anticipated this long and difficult road. Certainly neither of us wanted it to happen. Yet it came�and now it has ended� resolved� as it must be resolved�through the honored institutions of our democracy.
over the library of one of our great law schools is inscribed the motto� “not under man but under god and law.”that’s the ruling principle of american freedom�the source of our democratic liberties. I’ve tried to make it my guide throughout this contest as it has guided america’s deliberations of all the complex issues of the past five weeks.
now the u.s supreme court has spoken. Let there be no doubt� while i strongly disagree with the court’s decision� i accept it. I accept the finality of this outcome which will be ratified next monday in the electoral college� and tonight� for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy � i offer my concession.
indeed � that history gives us many examples of contests as hotly debated�as fiercely fought� with their own challenges to the popular will.
other disputes have dragged on for weeks before reaching resolution.and each time� both the victor and the vanquished have accepted the result peacefully and in the spirit of reconciliation.
so let it be with us.
i know that many of my supporters are disappointed.i am too . But our disappointment must be overcome by our love of country.
and i say to our fellow members of the world community� let no one see this contest as a sign of american weakness�the strength of american democracy is shown most clearly through the difficulties it can overcome.
some have expressed concern that the unusual nature of this election might hamper the next president in the conct of his office. I do not believe it need be so.
president-elect bush inherits a nation whose citizens will be ready to assist him in the conct of his large responsibilities.
i personally will be at his disposal�and i call on all americans -i particularly urge all who stood with us to unite being our next president. This is america. Just as we fight hard when the stakes are high�we close ranks and come together when the contest is done.
and while there will be time enough to debate our continuing differences�now is the time to recognize that that which unites us is greater than that which divides us.
while we yet hold and do not yield our opposing beliefs�there is a higher ty than the one we owe to political party.this is america and we put country before party.we will stand together behind our new president.
as for what i’ll do next�i don’t know the answer to that one yet . Like many of you� i’m looking forward to spending the holidays with family and old friends.i know i’ll spend time in tennessee and mend some fences�literally and figuratively.
some have asked whether i have any regrets and i do have one regret� that i didn’t get the chance to stay and fight for the american people over the next four years �especially for those who need burdens lifted and barriers removed�especially for those who feel their voices have not been heard� i heard you and i will not forget.
i’ve seen america in this campaign and i like what i see. It’s worth fighting for and that’s a fight i’ll never stop.
as for the battle that ends tonight � i do believe as my father once said � that on matter how hard the loss�defeat might serve as well as victory to shape the soul and let the glory out.
so for me this campaign ends as it began�with the love of tipper and our family� with faith in god and in the country i have been so proud to serve�from vietnam to the vice presidency�and with gratitude to our truly tireless campaign staff and volunteers�including all those who worked so hard in florida for the last 36 days.
now the political struggle is over and we turn again to the unending struggle for the common good of all americans and for those multitudes around the world who look to us for leadership in the cause of freedom.
in the words of our great hymn�“america � america”�“let us crown thy good with brotherhood�from sea to shining sea.”
and now� my friends� in a phrase i once addressed to others�it’s time for me to go.
thank you and good night�and god bless america .�
向失败者致敬!
戈尔认输演说中译文
晚上好。
我刚跟乔治·W·布什谈过话,祝贺他成为合众国第43位总统;我向他保证,这回绝不会再打电话给他追回原话了。
我提议尽快和他会面,尽快消除过去的竞选运动和官司所带来的分歧。
差不多一个半世纪前,参议员道格拉斯对总统选举击败自己的林肯说:“党派的门户之见必须让路给爱国主义。我支持你,总统先生,愿主保佑你。”
那么,在这样的精神下,我对候任总统布什说,我们一定要将党派之争结下的仇恨抛诸脑后,愿主保佑他好好管治这个国家。
“这条路是那么崎岖漫长”
他和我谁都料想不到这条路是那么崎岖漫长。当然,我们谁也不希望这些事会发生。不过,事情到底来了,现在结束了,而且果然通过我们民主政体的机制解决了。
我国一所法律学院的图书馆上镌刻着这样的一句格言:“听命于法与主,而非听命于人”。这是美国自由的核心原则,也是民主自由之滥觞。在投票日之后的五个星期里,我以此为鉴,这也是美国独立以来所有复杂事件的引鉴。
也有人担心,这次选举凸显的反常状况,势必影响新一任总统的施政举措。我不相信那是势所必然。
有人问我曾否遗憾,是的,我有一桩憾事:我没有机会在未来4年为国人打拼,尤其是亟欲抛开负担、排除困难的一群;尤其是感到没有人听到他们的声音的一群。我听到了你们的呼声,我永不会忘记。
我看到了大选中的美国,我很喜欢看到的那一切。那是值得一拼的,我不会罢休。
至于今晚偃旗息鼓的一役,我坚信父亲说过的一句话:不论败得多惨,失利跟胜利一样,涤荡心灵,光耀千秋。
因此,对我而言,大选的结束和开始时一样:照样拥有妻子家人的爱;拥有对主的信念;拥有对这个我为它出征越南一直到做副总统的国家;拥有努力奔走的竞选义工和工作人员,包括36天来在佛罗里达州奋力工作的人们。
如今,*上的斗争已成过去,我们转过头去为了美国人民的幸福而奋斗不懈,为全世界追求自由而对我们有所企望的人们而奋斗不懈。
在我们的赞歌《亚美利加,亚美利加》里说的:“让我们以兄弟之爱为称的善行加冕,从大海到闪亮的波涛。”
好了,朋友们,用我以前讲过的话,“这是我该走的时候了。”谢谢你们,晚安,主佑美国。�
SHALL WE CHOOSE DEATH?
Bertrand Russell
December 30, 1954
I am speaking not as a Briton, not as a European, not as a member of a western democracy, but as a human being, a member of the species Man, whose continued existence is in doubt. The world is full of conflicts: Jews and Arabs; Indians and Pakistanis; white men and Negroes in Africa; and, overshadowing all minor conflicts, the titanic struggle between communism and anticommunism.
Almost everybody who is politically conscious has strong feelings about one or more of these issues; but I want you, if you can, to set aside such feelings for the moment and consider yourself only as
The general public, and even many men in positions of authority, have not realized what would be involved in a war with hydrogen bombs. The general public still thinks in terms of the obliteration of cities. It is understood that the new bombs are more powerful than the old and that, while one atomic bomb could obliterate Hiroshima, one hydrogen bomb could obliterate the largest cities such as London, New York, and Moscow. No doubt in a hydrogen-bomb war great cities would be obliterated. But this is one of the minor disasters that would have to be faced. If everybody in London, New York, and Moscow were exterminated, the world might, in the course of a few centuries, recover from the blow. But we now know, especially since the Bikini test, that hydrogen bombs can graally spread destruction over a much wider area than had been supposed. It is stated on very good authority that a bomb can now be manufactured which will be 25,000 times as powerful as that which destroyed Hiroshima. Such a bomb, if exploded near the ground or under water, sends radioactive particles into the upper air. They sink graally and reach the surface of the earth in the form of a deadly st or rain. It was this st which infected the Japanese fishermen and their catch of fish although they were outside what American experts believed to be the danger zone. No one knows how widely such lethal radioactive particles might be diffused, but the best authorities are unanimous in saying that a war with hydrogen bombs is quite likely to put an end to the human race. It is feared that if many hydrogen bombs are used there will be universal death - sudden only for a fortunate minority, but for the majority a slow torture of disease and disintegration...
I cannot believe that this is to be the end. I would have men forget their quarrels for a moment and reflect that, if they will allow themselves to survive, there is every reason to expect the triumphs of the future to exceed immeasurably the triumphs of the past. There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal, as a human being to human beings: remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death.
我们该选择死亡吗？
伯特兰·罗素
1954年12月30日
我不是作为一个英国人、一个欧洲人、一个西方民主国家的一员，而是作为一个人，作为不知是否还能继续生存下去的人类的一员在讲演。世界充满了争斗：犹太人和阿拉伯人；印度人和巴勒斯坦人；非洲的白人和黑人；以及使所有的小冲突都相形见绌的********和反********之间的大搏斗。
差不多每个有*意识的人都对这类问题怀有强烈的感受；但是我希望你们，如果你们能够的话，把这份感受暂搁一边，并把自己只看作一种具有非凡历史、谁也不希望它灭亡的生物的一员。可能会迎合一群人而冷落另一群人的词语，我将努力一个字都不说。所有的人，不分彼此，都处在危险之中；如果大家都看到了这种危险，那么就有希望联合起来避开它。我们必须学习新的思想方法。我们必须学习不自问能采取什么措施来使我们所喜欢的人群获得军事上的胜利，因为不再有这样的措施。我们必须自问的问题是：能采取什么措施来避免必然会给各方造成灾难的军事竞赛？
我无法相信结局会是这样。人们如果想让自己生存下去，他们就应暂时忘掉争吵，进行反省，人们有千万条理由期待未来的成就极大地超过以往的成就，如果让我们选择，那么擂在我们面前的有幸福、知识和智慧的持续增长。我们能因为无法忘掉争吵而舍此去选择死亡吗？作为一个人，我向所有的人呼吁：记住你们的人性，忘掉其余的一切。如果你们能这样做，通向一个新的天堂的路就畅通无阻；如果你们做不到这一点，摆在你们面前的就只有全世界的毁灭。
