富兰克林·罗斯福英语励志演讲稿 The only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror,which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. 我们唯一害怕的 是害怕本身——这种难以名状、失去理智和毫无道理的恐惧，把人转退为进所需的种种努力化为泡影。 President Hoover, Mister Chief Justice, my friends: 胡佛总统，首席法官先生，朋友们： This is a day of national consecration, and I am certain that on this day, my fellow Americansexpect that on my induction in the Presidency I will address them with a candor and adecision which the present situation of our people impels.
