我第一次感受到话语的力量是在1941年的12月8日,“珍珠港事件”之后。那时,我还是个孩子,和爸爸妈妈一起在家里的飞歌(Philco)收音机旁,听富兰克林·罗斯福总统振奋人心的“耻辱日”演讲。我永远不会忘记,在演讲的最后,罗斯福总统用他那浑厚的嗓音说道:“我们相信我们的军队,我们的人民有无比坚定的决心,因此胜利必定属于我们!愿上帝保佑我们!”在那个群情激越的时刻,罗斯福铿锵有力的话语一扫笼罩着我们的阴霾,提升了全民的士气,恢复了我们对国家的信心,让我们对未来又重燃希望。
The first time I felt the power of discourse was after December Pearl Harbor Incident on December 8, 1941. At that time, I was a kid, beside Mom and Dad at the family Philco radio and listening to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's inspiring Shameless Day speech. I will never forget that at the end of his speech, President Roosevelt said in his thick voice: “We believe in our army and our people with determination and firm determination, so victory must belong to us! God bless us! ” "At that moment of passion, Roosevelt's sonorous and powerful words swept over the haze, raised the morale of the entire people, restored our confidence in the country and rekindled our hope for the future.
