【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 of unique qualities not to need to be seen
as a saint. indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of
your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you
double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle
in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely.
this is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. and if we look to analyze
what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive
feel for what was really important in all our lives. without your godgiven sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance
at the anguish of aids and hiv sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation
of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. diana explained to me once that it
was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with
her constituency of the rejected. the world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her
vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty. the last time i saw diana was
on july the first, her birthday, in london, when typically she was not taking time
to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fundraising
charity evening. she sparkled of course, but i would rather cherish the days i spent with her in
march when she came to visit me and my children in our home in south africa. i am
proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting president
mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the everpresent paparazzi from getting a
single picture of her. that meant a lot to her. these were days i will always treasure. it was as if wed been transported back
to our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two
youngest in the she hadnt changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as
a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our
parents homes with me at weekends. it is a tribute to her levelheadedness and strength
that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact,
true to herself. there is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this
time. she talked endlessly of getting away from england, mainly because of the treatment she
received at the hands of the newspapers. i dont think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered
at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring
her down. it is baffling. my own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is
threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. it is a point to remember that of all the ironies about diana, perhaps the greatest
was this。 that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the
end, the most hunted person of the modern age. she would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys william
and harry from a similar fate. and i do this here, diana, on your behalf. we will
not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful
that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, i pledge that we, your blood
family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you
were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply
immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned. we fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born, and will always
respect and encourage them in their royal role. but we, like you, recognize the need
for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm them
spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. i know you would have expected
nothing less from us.

序言
對(duì)于英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者來(lái)說(shuō)，多聽(tīng)多看多練英語(yǔ)演講是學(xué)地道英語(yǔ)的最佳有效途徑之一，也是訓(xùn)練語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)最有效的輔助手段。你不用擔(dān)心這些演講是否有語(yǔ)法問(wèn)題，也不用擔(dān)心用詞是否準(zhǔn)確，表達(dá)是否到位。因?yàn)橐恍┟说难葜v稿通常是字斟句酌精心完成的。此外，通過(guò)演講學(xué)英語(yǔ)還可以潛移默化地幫助自己提升對(duì)英文的駕馭能力，增強(qiáng)英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)感和美感。
本書(shū)精選了19篇具有代表性的名人的英語(yǔ)演講。這些名人或是國(guó)家領(lǐng)袖，或是關(guān)心民權(quán)民生的政治人物，或是創(chuàng)造經(jīng)濟(jì)財(cái)富的精英，或是用文字抒發(fā)情懷的作家記者，或是演藝界的娛樂(lè)名人。他們都在自己的領(lǐng)域里作出了杰出的貢獻(xiàn)。他們思想深刻，見(jiàn)解獨(dú)到，注定是站在時(shí)代前列的人。
這些名人的演講充滿了智慧，富含啟迪。它們或是結(jié)合自身經(jīng)歷立足于個(gè)人發(fā)展的諄諄教誨，像亞馬遜ceo杰夫貝索斯在普林斯頓大學(xué)演講，他講了自己創(chuàng)業(yè)的故事，以此鼓勵(lì)畢業(yè)生：未來(lái)掌握在自己的手中，追尋自己的夢(mèng)
想，慎重選擇?；蚴翘?hào)召民眾面對(duì)困難迎難而上，像美國(guó)第32任總統(tǒng)富蘭克林羅斯福，他就任于美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條時(shí)期，國(guó)內(nèi)民生凋敝，萎靡不振，他告訴大家，我們惟一害怕的是害怕本身，展示了帶領(lǐng)民眾走出低谷的豪情。或者充滿人文關(guān)懷，如美國(guó)著名作家威廉福克納，站在人類精神的高度，勉勵(lì)作家文人心中時(shí)時(shí)充滿愛(ài)、憐憫、同情和犧牲的精神?；蚴秋@示了追求自由平等的決心，如馬釘路德金和南非總統(tǒng)曼德拉，他們?cè)谘葜v中都表達(dá)了誓死捍衛(wèi)民主和自由的決心?；蚴秋@示了對(duì)家庭的愛(ài)，并把這種愛(ài)升華為“老吾老，以及人之老。幼吾幼，以及人之幼”，如米歇爾奧巴馬，她在演講中表達(dá)了對(duì)家庭的熱愛(ài)，同時(shí)也為丈夫競(jìng)選吶喊助威如果巴拉克奧巴馬當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)，將會(huì)保證每個(gè)美國(guó)
