布什白宫电视讲话全文 2001-09-12 9:45AM Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices. Secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. 　　 “晚上好，今天，我们的同胞，我们的生活，我们的自由，遭到 了一系列有预谋的、惨无人道的恐怖分子袭击。许多人在飞机上或者 是在他们的办公室中不幸遇难，他们中有秘书，有商人和妇女，有军 人和政府工作人员，有父亲和母亲，还有朋友和邻居。数千个生命瞬 间就被邪恶的恐怖主义袭击吞噬了。 The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. 飞机撞到了高楼上，浓烟滚滚，巨大的建筑物坍塌了，我们无法 相信这一画面。我们心中充满了极度的悲痛和无言的、无法妥协的愤 怒。 These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people have been moved to defend a great nation. 这次大规模屠杀行为目的是为了恐吓我们的国家，使美国陷入 片混乱之中。但他们失败了。我们的国家非常强大，我们伟大的人民 已经行动起来，勇敢保卫我们伟大的祖国。 Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. 恐怖主义袭击能够摧毁我们一些高大的建筑物，但却动摇不了美 国人民坚定的信念。这些恐怖活动能够破坏钢铁大厦，但却摧毁不了 美国人民钢铁般的坚强意志。 America was targeted for attack because were the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining. 美国成为恐怖分子的袭击目标，是因为我们在世界上高举自由和 理想的火炬，但是任何人都不可能将这一火炬熄灭。 Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could. 　　 今天我们的国家遭遇了邪恶，这种邪恶是人性中最恶毒的。美国 人民将全力以赴应对这一邪恶，我们的救援人员英勇无畏，无论是陌 生人还是我们的朋友，他们纷纷伸出援助之手，向我们提供血液，给 予他们力所能及的帮助。
