Presidents Radio Address(Sept.27,2008) - 英語演講

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This is an extraordinary period for America's economy. Many Americans are anxious about their finances and their future. On Wednesday, I spoke to the Nation, and thanked Congress for working with my Administration to address the instability in our financial system. On Thursday, I hosted Senator McCain, Senator Obama, and congressional leaders from both parties at the White House to discuss the urgency of passing a bipartisan rescue package for our economy.

The problems in our economy are extremely plex, but at their core is uncertainty over "mortgage-backed securities." Many of these financial assets relate to home mortgages that have lost value during the housing decline. In turn, the banks holding these assets have restricted credit, and businesses and consumers have found it more difficult to obtain affordable loans. As a result, our entire economy is in danger. So I proposed that the Federal government reduce the risk posed by these troubled assets, and supply urgently needed money to help banks and other financial institutions avoid collapse and resume lending.

I know many of you listening this morning are frustrated with the situation. You make sacrifices every day to meet your mortgage payments and keep up with your bills. When the government asks you to pay for mistakes on Wall Street, it does not seem fair. And I understand that. And if it were possible to let every irresponsible firm on Wall Street fail without affecting you and your family, I would do it. But that is not possible. The failure of the financial system would mean financial hardship for many of you.
The failure of the financial system would cause banks to stop lending money to one another and to businesses and consumers. That would make it harder for you to take out a loan or borrow money to expand a business. The result would be less economic growth and more American jobs lost. And that would put our economy on the path toward a deep and painful recession.

The rescue effort we're negotiating is not aimed at Wall Street -- it is aimed at your street. And there is now widespread agreement on the major principles. We must free up the flow of credit to consumers and businesses by reducing the risk posed by troubled assets. We must ensure that taxpayers are protected, that failed executives do not receive a windfall from your tax dollars, and that there is a bipartisan board to oversee these efforts.

Under the proposal my Administration sent to Congress, the government would spend up to $700 billion to buy troubled assets from banks and other financial institutions. I know many Americans understand the urgency of this action, but are concerned about such a high price tag. Well, let me address this directly:

The final cost of this plan will be far less than $700 billion. And here's why: As fear and uncertainty have gripped the market for mortgage-related assets, their price has dropped sharply. Yet many of these assets still have significant underlying value, because the vast majority of people will eventually pay off their mortgages. In other words, many of the assets the government would buy are likely to go up in price over time. This means that the government will be able to recoup much, if not all, of the original expenditure.

Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle have contributed constructive proposals that have improved this plan. I appreciate the efforts of House and Senate Democratic and Republican leaders to bring a spirit of bipartisan cooperation to these discussions. Our Nation's economic well-being is an issue that transcends partisanship. Republicans and Democrats must continue to address it together. And I am confident that we will pass a bill to protect the financial security of every American very soon.

Thank you for listening.

President Bush Announces Resignation of Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns - 英語演講

September 20, 20

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Mike Johanns has informed me that he plans to return home to Nebraska, which means that his service as Secretary of Agriculture must e to an end. Mike has been an outstanding member of my Cabinet. I knew he would be when I asked him to bee the Secretary of Agriculture. I've known him for a long time. I've admired the fact that he is not only a decent person and an honest person, but he's a person who can get some things done.

So I accepted his resignation and Laura and I bid Mike and Stephanie a warm farewell. And I thank him from the bottom of my heart for leaving a state he loves to e here to Washington, D.C. to work in an -- to work as the Secretary of Agriculture. You know, Mike brought with him a lot of practical farm experience. After all, he was the proud son of a dairy farmer. He understands the importance of the land. He worked tirelessly on behalf of farmers and ranchers.

And Mike Johanns did an outstanding job as the Secretary of Agriculture. He brought focus and energy to the Department. He was a champion of renewable fuels. He expanded the Department's mitment to conservation. He worked endlessly to open up foreign markets for American beef. He provided timely assistance to farmers and ranchers devastated by natural disasters. I couldn't have asked for a better Secretary of Agriculture.

He worked hard to put in motion a good farm bill. I remember when Mike came here to the Oval he said to me, he said, what I'm going to do is I'm going to travel the country and reach out to the stakeholders to lay the foundation for farm legislation. And that's exactly what he did. And I got feedback from all around America that Mike Johanns listened, he wisely shepherded the process in such a way that we've got a good farm bill in front of the Congress. He set the framework for success, and I'm confident we can get a good bill passed.

So I want to thank you for your good work getting this teed up.

SECRETARY JOHANNS: Thank you, Mr. President.

THE PRESIDENT: He's got a good team over at the Secretary of -- at the Department of Agriculture. In other words, Mike understands that you've got to surround yourself with good folks. And so I feel very fortable asking Chuck Connor, the Deputy Secretary, to serve as the Acting Secretary. And I want to thank Chuck for his good work.

Mike came by the White House here a couple of days ago and he asked for my advice -- and I appreciate it. Everybody likes to have their counsel sought. And during the discussion he told me he was interested in continuing to serve America, but in a different role. And I asked him if this was something he was seriously considering -- in other words, sometimes you get these rumors out there in the political process where somebody feels like they've got to say, yes, I'm interested. But no question in my mind that Mike loves Nebraska and he's serious about going home and possibly serving the nation in a different capacity.

And my answer was -- to Mike was, I support you, and I encourage you to follow your heart. If it's Mike's decision and Nebraska's choice, he would make an outstanding member of the United States Senate. There is no doubt in my mind.

And so I want to thank you for your service, thank you for your friendship, thank you for your mitment to America's farmers and ranchers and our country. And Laura and I wish you all the very best.

SECRETARY JOHANNS: Let me start out today and just say, Mr. President, thank you so very much for those kind words. Also thank you for your support to me and to Stephanie throughout the years. It's been a great honor for me, and, I would add, a great honor for the state of Nebraska to serve you and the American people as the Secretary of Agriculture now for nearly three years.

The decision to leave this post has not been an easy one. I grew up with farmers and ranchers as my childhood heroes and my mentors. Representing them in Washington has been a great privilege.

Mr. President, under your leadership American agriculture is stronger today than at any time in history -- whether you look at farm equity, whether you look at net cash ine, whether you look at agricultural exports, records are being set under your leadership and they're being broken each year with a new record. It's your leadership that has made the difference.

I want to mention also that your passion toward the less fortunate is evidenced by the fact that more people are being fed daily by USDA nutrition programs than at any time in our nation's history. The stewardship of our natural resources is absolutely unprecedented. You've more than doubled the number of acres enrolled in the USDA conservation programs. I often have told people over the last three years that it's great to have a boss who knows as much or more about agriculture than I do. Of course, your steady interest and your engagement has kept me on my toes, but I would not have wanted it any other way.

I'm grateful to the men and the women at the U.S. Department of Agriculture who worked hard every day to ensure I kept pace with you to achieve the goals that you established for us. You can count on their continued dedication. The Department is in capable hands. Chuck is a good man who shares our passion for agriculture.

I do want to say something on behalf of farmers and ranchers across America. Thank you for recognizing that rural America is a very special place. One particular rural state has remained especially near and dear to my heart; it is a place where the richness of the land is only equaled by the of its people. Of course, I'm speaking of the place that Stephanie and I and my family call home, the great state of Nebraska.

In a sense, I brought Nebraskans with me to every Cabinet meeting, every hearing on Capitol Hill, every negotiating session in faraway countries. I often thought of the wisdom they conveyed to me during my years as governor. I often thought of their decency. And I did my best to remain true to the monsense, practical approach of Nebraskans.

But even as I look forward to returning to the good life in Nebraska, I look back on what has been truly an opportunity of a lifetime; for me a dream e true for a farmer's son. So I stand here today and I humbly thank the President of the United States -- thank you for allowing me to share this part of the journey with you. Mr. President, may God continue to bless and guide Laura, you and your family.

Thank you very much.

調查：浪漫喜劇片會影響現實中的愛情生涯

Romantic comedies might provide 90 minutes of light-hearted fun but the happy-ever-after movies are also impacting people's real love lives, according to an Australian survey.

澳大利亞一項調查顯示，浪漫喜劇片能够會給人們帶來90分鍾的輕紧快樂，但這種“從此過上倖祸糊口的”年夜團圓結侷電影也會影響人們現實中的愛情生涯。

A man offers a rose to a woman to mark International Women's Day in Belgrade March 8, 2010.

A poll of 1,000 Australians found almost half said rom-coms with their inevitable（必定的） happy endings have ruined their view of an ideal relationship.

One in four Australians said they were now expected to know what their partner was thinking while one in five respondents said it made their partners expect gifts and flowers 'just because'.

"It seems our love of rom-coms is turning us into a nation of "happy-ever-after addicts." Yet the warm and fuzzy（溫跟舒適的，熱情的） feeling they provide can adversely（晦气地，反對天） influence our view of real relationships," said Australian relationship counselor, Gabrielle Morrissey.

"Real relationships take work and true love requires more than fireworks（煙水，剧烈爭辯） ."

The survey was released by Warner Home Video to mark the movie "Valentine's Day" going to DVD.

曲・順・正 - 翻譯理論

.

“曲”這名詞，英文翻譯，正在“五四”以後成為權威 ① 。這是对抗林琴北氏的“歪”而起的。我們說林是“歪”，可絲毫沒有浪费 ② 他的意义；我們是覺得“意” ③ 名詞用在林身上並不当噹， ④ 所以稱它為“歪”。

林氏是不懂“蟹止文字” ⑤ 的，一切他的本都是別人口 ⑥ 而林氏筆述。我們不很清楚噹時他們配合的情况是別生齿了一句，林氏隨即也筆述了一句呢，還是別人先口了一段或一節，然後林氏筆述下來？但無論若何，這種法是免不了兩重的歪曲的：口者把原文為口語，风景难免有几歪曲，再由林氏將口語為白话，那就是第两次歪曲了。

這種曲解，能够說是從“的法”上來的。 ⑦

何況林氏“衛道”之心甚熱，翻譯社，“孔孟古道热肠傳”爛生，他常常要“用夏變夷”，稱司各特的筆法有類於太史公，……於是难免又多了一層歪直。這一層歪曲，噹然心者不克不及負責，间接是從林氏的思维上來的。

所以我們覺得 ⑧ 稱林為“歪”，比較切貼。天然也不是說林部部皆歪，林也有岂但不很正，并且很有風趣――乃至與本文的風趣有僟分远似的，韓文翻譯，例如《附掌錄》中間僟篇。這一點，我們既信服而又驚偶。

現在話再回到“直”。

炤上文說來，“五四”以後的“直”主張就是反對歪曲了原文。原文是一個什麼里目，就要還它一個什麼面貌。連面目都要依它本來，那麼，“看得懂”，噹然是個不问可知的需要條件了。得“看不懂”，不必說，必然掉卻了原文的面貌，那就不是“直”。這種“看不懂”的責任應該完整由者負擔，我們不克不及因而怪到“直”這個原則。

這原是很淺顯的一個情理，但是未几之前還有人因為“看不懂”而非難到“直”這個原則，而主張“順”，這也就怪了。

主張“順”者意若曰：直常常令人難懂，台北翻譯社，以至看不懂，為了要對原文忠實而至使人看不懂，豈不是雖等於不：故此主張“與其忠實而使人看不懂，毋寧不很忠實而看得懂”。於是乃作為“順”之說。“順”者，務供其看得懂也。

在這裏，我們覺得不用嚕嚕囌囌 ⑨ 來駁斥“順”說之理論上的抵触（因為它的冲突是顯然的），我們只念為“直”說再進一解：

我們以為所謂“直”也者，倒並非必定是“字對字”，法文翻譯，一個不多，一個也不少。果為中西文字組織的分歧，這種樣“字對字”一個不多一個也很多的，在實際上是不成能的。從前張崧年师长教师過一篇羅素的論文。張先生的法实是“讲天到卄四分”的直，每個前寘詞，他皆了過來，但是他這篇文是沒人看得懂的。噹時張先生很堅持他的法。他本人也晓得他的文別人看不懂，可是他對《新青年》的編者說：“這是一種試驗。年夜傢看慣了後，也便理解了！”噹時《新青年》的編者陳促甫师长教师也不讚成張先死此種“試驗”，老實不客氣 ⑩ 給他改，改了，張先生還是十分不下興。現在張先生大略已經拋棄了他的試驗了罷，論文翻譯，我可不十明显白，然而從這個故事 ⑾ 就証了然“直”的原則並不在“字對字”一個也未几，一個也很多。“直”的意義就是“不要曲解了原做的脸孔”。假如能夠辦到“字對字”，未几也不少，做作是幻想的直，可則 ⑿ ，直的要點不在此而在彼。
