5、verybody‟s business is nobody‟s business
There are four people named everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody. There was an important job to be done and everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but nobody did it. Some body got angry about that because it was
everybody‟s job. Everybody thought anybody could do it, but nobody realized that everybody wouldn‟t do it. It ended up that everybody blamed somebody when nobody did what anybody could have done. 有四個人分別叫做：「每個人」、「某個人」、「任何人」和「沒有人」。有一次，他們每個人都要被要求去完成一件重要的工作。大家都相信某個人會去做這件事。其實，任何人都可以完成這項工作的，但就是沒有人去做。某個人對此感到非常氣憤，因為這是大家的任務。每個人都認為任何人可以完成這件事，但沒有人認識到大家都不會去做這件事。結果呢，當沒有人去做其實任何人都可以做到的事情的時候，每個人都在抱怨某個人。
6、A Woodman came into a forest to ask the Trees to give him a handle for Ax. It seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once agreed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain, homely Ash should furnish what was wanted.
No sooner had the Woodman fitted the staff to his purpose ,than he began laying about him on all side. felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the Cedar: "the first concession has lost all ;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves."
有一個樵夫來到森林裡，要求樹給他一跟斧柄，看來他的請求非常謙虛，立刻得到了樹的首領的同意。他們決定由平凡而樸素的白楊樹來提供所需要的東西。樵夫剛按好斧柄，就開始到處亂砍，森林裡最高的樹都砍倒了，樹林現在察覺大勢已去，就小聲對衫樹說："第一次的讓步已失去了一切。如果我們不犧牲我們的小小的鄰居，我們自己還可以活無數年呢。"

一：Love Is Not Like Merchandise
A reader in Florida, apparently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain, "If I steal a nickel's worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished; but if I steal the love of another's wife, I am free."
This is a prevalent misconception in many people's minds---that love, like merchandise, can be "stolen". Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for "alienation of affections".
But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.
When a husband or wife is "stolen" by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The "love bandit" was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken.
We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children "belonging" to their parents. But nobody "belongs" to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their parents' trusteeship.
Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At the time, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that "caused" the break, but the lack of a real relationship.
On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a "third party". This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.
Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has "come between" oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.
But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any "third party" has appeared on the scene.
譯文：愛情不是商品
佛羅里達州的一位讀者顯然是在個人經歷上受過創傷, 他寫信來抱怨道: 「如果我偷走了五分錢的商品, 我就是個賊, 要受到懲罰, 但是如果我偷走了他人妻子的愛情, 我沒事兒。」
這是許多人心目中普遍存在的一種錯誤觀念——愛情, 像商品一樣, 可以 「偷走」。實際上，許多州都頒布法令，允許索取「情感轉讓」賠償金。
但是愛情並不是商品；真情實意不可能買到，賣掉，交換，或者偷走。愛情是志願的行動，是感情的轉向，是個性發揮上的變化。
當丈夫或妻子被另一個人「偷走」時，那個丈夫或妻子就已經具備了被偷走的條件，事先已經准備接受新的伴侶了。這位「愛匪」不過是取走等人取走、盼人取走的東西。
我們往往待人如物。我們甚至說孩子「屬於」父母。但是誰也不「屬於」誰。人都屬於自己和上帝。孩子是託付給父母的，如果父母不善待他們，州政府就有權取消父母對他們的託管身份。
我們多數人年輕時都有過戀人被某個更有誘惑力、更有吸引力的人奪去的經歷。在當時，我們興許怨恨這位不速之客---但是後來長大了，也就認識到了心上人本來就不屬於我們。並不是不速之客「導致了」決裂，而是缺乏真實的關系。
從表面上看，許多婚姻似乎是因為有了「第三者」才破裂的。然而這是一種心理上的幻覺。另外那個女人，或者另外那個男人，無非是作為借口，用來解除早就不是完好無損的婚姻罷了。
因失戀而痛苦，因別人「插足」於自己與心上人之間而圖報復，是最沒有出息、最自作自受的樂。這種事總是歪曲了事實真相，因為誰都不是給別人當俘虜或犧牲品——人都是自由行事的，不論命運是好是壞，都由自己來作主。
但是，遭離棄的情人或配偶無法相信她的心上人是自由地背離他的——因而他歸咎於插足者心術不正或迷人有招。他把他叫做催眠師、竊賊或破壞家庭的人。然而，從大多數事例看，一個家的破裂，是早在什麼「第三者」出現之前就開始了的。
二：放慢你的腳步
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street，
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out
from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw
something.
As his car passed， one child appeared， and a brick smashed into the Jag's
side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where
the brick had been
thrown.
He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked
car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are
you doing?"Building up a head of steam， he went on"That's a new car and that
brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do
it?"
「Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!」pleaded
the youngster." It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out
of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up.
Sobbing， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back
into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for
me."
Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in
his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his
handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was
going to be
okay.
"Thank you， sir. And God bless you，" the grateful child said to him. The man
then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their
home.
It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long， slow walk. He never did
repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so
fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your
attention.
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes,when you don't
have the time to listen,it's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or
wait for the brick!
Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy
leaving them to wonder whether you really love
them?
譯文：一位年輕的總裁，以有點快的車速，開著他的新車子經過住宅區的巷道。他必須小心游戲中的孩子突然跑到路中央，所以當他覺得小孩子快跑出來時，就要減慢車速。
就在他的車經過一群小朋友的時候，一個小朋友丟了一塊磚頭打到了他的車門，他很生氣的踩了煞車並後退到磚頭丟出來的地方。
他跳出車外，抓了那個小孩，把他頂在車門上說：「你為什麼這樣做，你知道你剛剛做了什麼嗎？」
接著又吼道：「你知不知道你要賠多少錢來修理這台新車，你到底為什麼要這樣做？」
小孩子求著說：「先生，對不起，我不知道我還能怎麼辦？」他接著說：「因為我哥哥從輪椅上掉下來，我沒辦法把他抬回去。」
那男孩啜泣著說：「你可以幫我把他抬回去嗎？他受傷了，而且他太重了我抱不動。」
這些話讓這位年輕的總裁深受感動，他抱起男孩受傷的哥哥，幫他坐回輪椅上。並拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的傷口，以確定他哥哥沒有什麼大問題。
那個小男孩感激地說：「謝謝你，先生，上帝保佑你。」 然後他看著男孩推著他哥哥回去。
年輕總裁返回的路變的很漫長，他也沒有修他汽車的側門。他保留著車上的凹痕就是提醒自己。生活的道路不要走的太匆忙，否則需要其他人敲打自己來注意生活的真諦。
當生命想與你的心靈竊竊私語時，若你沒有時間，你有兩種選擇：傾聽你心靈的聲音或讓磚頭來砸你！
請問你是否曾因為生活太快、太忙碌而忽略了你所愛的人，然後讓他們開始開始懷疑起你是不是真的愛他們呢？
三：Facing the Sea With Spring Blossoms—HaiZi
From tomorrow on,I will be a happy man.
Grooming,chopping and traveling all over the world.
From tomorrow on,I will care foodstuff and vegetable.
Living in a house towards the sea, with spring
blossoms.
From tomorrow on,write to each of my dear ones.
Telling them of my happiness.
What the lightening of happiness has told me.
I will spread it to each of them.
Give a warm name for every river and every mountain.
Strangers,I will also wish you happy.
May you have a brilliant future!
May you lovers eventually become spouses!
May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!
I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.
譯文：面朝大海，春暖花開—海子
從明天起，做一個幸福的人
喂馬，劈柴，周遊世界
從明天起，關心糧食和蔬菜
我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花開
從明天起，和每一個人通信
告訴他們我的幸福
那幸福的閃電告訴我的
我將告訴每一個人
給每一條河每一座山取一個溫暖的名字
陌生人，我也為你祝福
願你有一個燦爛的前程
願有情人終成眷屬
願你們在塵世獲得幸福
我只願面朝大海，春暖花開
四：True Nobility
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn.Bereavements and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
譯文： 真正的高貴
在風平浪靜的大海上,每個人都是領航員。
但只有陽光沒有陰影,只有快樂沒有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人來說,他的生活也是一團纏結在一起的亂麻。痛苦與幸福交替出現,使得我們一會悲傷一會高興。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可愛。在人生清醒的時刻,在悲傷與失落的陰影之下,人們與真實的自我最為接近。
在生活和事業的種種事務之中，性格比才智更能指導我們，心靈比頭腦更能引導我們，而由判斷獲得的剋制、耐心和教養比天分更能讓我們受益。
我一向認為，內心生活開始更為嚴謹的人，他的外在生活也會變得更為簡朴。在物慾橫流的年代，但願我能向世人表明：人類的真正需求少得多麼可憐。
反思自己的過錯不至於重蹈覆轍才是真正的悔悟。高人一等並沒有什麼值得誇耀的。真正的高貴是優於過去的自已。
五：行如其人
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?"
The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?"
Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00."
The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference."
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.
譯文：
行如其人
這是奧克拉荷馬城的一個晴朗的星期六下午。我的朋友巴比·路易斯，一位令人敬佩的父親，帶著他的兩個小兒子去玩迷你高爾夫。他走向售票處，向售票員問道：「進去需要花多少錢？」
那個年輕人回答道：「你，3美元；6歲以上的兒童，3美元。6歲以下的兒童免費。他們多大了？」
巴比回答：「律師，3歲；醫生，7歲。所以我想我應該付給你6美元。」
那個售票的說：「嘿，先生，你是剛贏了彩票還是怎麼了？你本可以省下3美元的。你可以告訴我，最大的6歲。我根本看不出來。」巴比回答：「對，那可能行得通，但是這些孩子會知道這其中的差別。」
就像拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生說的那樣：「你本身要比你所說的話重要。」在這個道德比以往任何時候都重要的年代裡，你最好給和你一起你生活和工作的人樹立一個良好的榜樣。

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not amatter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of thewill, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by anumber of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Transforming Obstacles into Benefits
By Richard Stewart,Los Angeles, U.S.A. (Originally in English)
美國洛杉磯 理查德．史都華德（原文為英文）
A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of themfell into a deep pit. Immediately, all the other frogs in the groupgathered around the pit and watched as the imprisoned frogs tried tojump out. The frogs on top could see that the pit was very deep and itlooked as if there was no way out, so they started yelling at the twofrogs in the pit to give up. "The pit is too deep. You're as good asdead," the chorus of frogs said. When the trapped frogs kept trying,the crowd yelled louder, "Give up. You're as good as dead." After awhile, one of the exhausted frogs took heed to what the others weresaying, and fell down and died.
But amazingly, the second frog kept jumping as hard as she coulddespite the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her toaccept the inevitable and just die. Finally, with one valiant leap, shemade it out of the pit!
This amazing result occurred because the second frog was deaf annable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they hadbeen cheering her on the entire time they were yelling! What she hadmistakenly perceived as encouragement inspired her to try harder andsucceed against all odds. And that made all the difference!
With a positive mindset, and being deaf to others' opinions, thesecond frog made use of such negativity to overcome obstacles and reachher goals by using it as encouragement, instead of being influenced byothers like the first frog, who failed to develop her potential tostrive for survival. Thus, when we surmount others' criticism, ridiculeor cynical comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just asthe second frog did. But, if we are not deaf like this frog, who couldnot be influenced by others e to a physical condition, we need the Wisdom to guide us to the proper way, so as not to be blindly guided byworldly opinion.

決定去拯救，
你唯一能拯救的生命。

about sports時間:2010-02-21 16:04作者:lan 點擊:53979次
Nowadays,high school students hold different opinions about after-class activities.there are two quite different phenomenonena.
Some students are crazy about sports and some other activities.they spend much time in joining the outdoor activities and varies of groups , and also,making new friends.However,they pay a little attention to their studies.
On the contrary, some students spend almost of their time in studies and don't enjoy attending other activities.
In my opinion,I think neither of them is correct.I think we should study hard,but we also need time to relax ourselves,because if a one in a good state,he can do better.
Opportunity and Success
Opportunity is one of the elements of success. But opportunities don't come often. And not all the opportunities can certainly lead to success. Moreover, opportunities are usually disguised as hard work; therefore most people don't recognize them. So if you want to achieve something, you must make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to you. In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who have made enough preparations and are highly talented can make use of them to achieve their purpose

True Happiness
"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The authors of the American Declaration proclaimed happiness to be one of the essential rights that make life worth living. William James, the first American psychologist, echoed this emphasis on happiness: "If we were to ask the question: 'What is human life's chief concern? One of the answers we should receive would be: 'It is happiness.'" Every philosophical and religious system has offered its pathway to happiness for the indivial and the group. Happiness has been related to pleasure, refuge from pain, intellectual contemplation, union with God, friendship, children, wealth, honor, successful activity, and even state burial with statues! Today, scientists have joined the dialogue to seek answers about what contributes to happiness or, as they call it, "subjective well-being".
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence. – Aristotle The concept of happiness--while difficult to define-- is obviously here to stay. But the desire for happiness can set up expectations that are often hard to fulfill. The right to pursue happiness was conceived of as an inalienable right; the entitlement that everyone be happy was never promised. As captured by Eric Hoffer, a misguided search we hope to provide a framework that will guide you in your personal pursuit of happiness.

A Picnic
It was a sunny day. We decided to have a picnic outside the city. In the morning, we took an early bus to Nanhui. It was quite a colorful world. there were GREen trees, orange leaves,red peach blossoms. At noon, we reached the place, we sat by the river bank and took out a lot of things, such as bread, orange juice, apples, cakes, eggs and so on. But all of a sudden, it began to rain. Unluckily there was no shelter nearby. We had to take a bus to go back home in a hurry.
What an unforgettable picnic it was!
Early Rising
Early rising benefits us in many ways.
First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.
Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly.
Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work.
So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.

With a positive mindset, and being deaf to others' opinions, thesecond frog made use of such negativity to overcome obstacles and reachher goals by using it as encouragement, instead of being influenced byothers like the first frog, who failed to develop her potential tostrive for survival. Thus, when we surmount others' criticism, ridiculeor cynical comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just asthe second frog did. But, if we are not deaf like this frog, who couldnot be influenced by others e to a physical condition, we need the Wisdom to guide us to the proper way, so as not to be blindly guided byworldly opinion.
Transforming Obstacles into Benefits
By Richard Stewart,Los Angeles, U.S.A. (Originally in English)
美國洛杉磯 理查德．史都華德（原文為英文）
A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of themfell into a deep pit. Immediately, all the other frogs in the groupgathered around the pit and watched as the imprisoned frogs tried tojump out. The frogs on top could see that the pit was very deep and itlooked as if there was no way out, so they started yelling at the twofrogs in the pit to give up. "The pit is too deep. You're as good asdead," the chorus of frogs said. When the trapped frogs kept trying,the crowd yelled louder, "Give up. You're as good as dead." After awhile, one of the exhausted frogs took heed to what the others weresaying, and fell down and died.
But amazingly, the second frog kept jumping as hard as she coulddespite the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her toaccept the inevitable and just die. Finally, with one valiant leap, shemade it out of the pit!

Ⅷ 5篇英語美文 幾十個單詞就行，不要太長 最好附帶翻譯
一．Man』s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.
人生最寶貴的是生命。生命對於人來說只有一次。一個人的生命應該這樣度過：當他回首往事時，不因虛度年華而悔恨；也不會因為碌碌無為而羞恥。在臨死的時候他能夠說：我的整個生命和全部精力都已經獻給了世界上最壯麗的事業――為人類的解放事業而斗爭！
二．Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.
幸福並不在於單純的佔有金錢，幸福還在於取得成功後的喜悅，在於創造努力時的激情。務必不能再忘記勞動帶來的喜悅和激勵，而去瘋狂追逐那轉瞬即逝的利潤。如果這些黯淡的日子能使我們認識到，我們真正的使命不是要別人侍奉，而是要為自己和同胞們服務的話，那麼，我們付出的代價是完全值得的。
三．I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. i have a dream today! When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God』s children-black men and white men , jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 「free at least ,free at last . Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.」
我有一個夢：有一天，這個國家將站起來，並實現他的信條的真正含義：我們將捍衛這些不言而喻的真理，即所有人生來平等。我有一個夢：有一天在喬治亞洲紅色的山丘上，從前的奴隸的子孫們能和奴隸主的子孫們像兄弟一樣坐在同一張桌旁；我有一個夢我的四個孩子有一天將生活在這樣一個國度，在那裡，人們不以膚色，而是以品格來評價他們。當自由的鍾聲響起的時候，當我們讓它從每一個村莊，每一個州，每一個城市響起的時候，我們將能夠加速這一天的到來。那是，上帝所有的孩子，無論黑人白人還是猶太人，異教徒。天主教徒，還是新教徒，他們都能夠手挽手歌唱那古老的黑人聖歌：「終於自由了，終於自由了，感謝上帝，我們終於自由了！」
四．I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word, it is victory. Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized, no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that British Empire has stood for , no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall more forward toward his goal. I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, 「Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.」
我能奉獻的唯有熱血、辛勞、淚水和汗水。我們所面臨的將是一場極為殘酷的考驗，我們面臨的將是曠日持久的斗爭和苦難。你若問我們的目標是什麼？我可以用一個詞來概括，那就是勝利。不惜一切代價去奪取勝利，不畏懼一切恐怖去奪取勝利，不論前路再長再苦也要多去勝利，因為沒有勝利糾無法生存！我們必須意識到，沒有勝利就沒有大英帝國，沒有勝利就沒有大英帝國所象徵的一切，沒有勝利就沒有多少世紀以來強烈的要求和沖動：人類應當向自己的目標邁進。此刻，我的精神振奮，滿懷信心地承當起自己的人物。我確信，只要我們大家聯合，我們的事業就不會挫敗。此時此刻千鈞一發之際，我覺得我有權要求各方面的支持。我要呼籲：「來吧，讓我們群策努力，並肩邁進！」
五. My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men. Finally whether you are citizens of America, or citizens of the world, ask of us here, the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own.--By John F. Kennedy
譯文：
美國同胞們，不要問美國能為你們做些什麼，應該問你們能為美國貢獻些什麼。全世界的同胞們，不要問美國將為你做些什麼，應該問我們一同能為人類的自由做些什麼。最後，無論你是美國公民還是其他國家的同胞，你們應該要求我們獻出我們同樣要求於你們的高度的力量和犧牲。無愧於心是我們惟一可靠的獎賞，歷史是我們行動最終的裁判。這一切讓我們大步向前，去引領我們所熱愛的這片土地。我們祈求上帝的保佑和幫助，但我們很清楚，上帝在塵世的工作必定是我們自己的工作。 --[美]約翰·肯尼迪
