Good afternoon everyone. Today, I am very happy to have the chance standing here, delivering a speech to all of you today. I am going to talk about things that are closely related t all of us, no matter how old are you, what is your gender and so on.
Friendship is vital and it's necessary for the development, not only the individual but also the whole society and even the world. Friendship, to describe chemically, is a bond between two people, from unfamiliar, to familiar and then become close friends. Do you need friends? I am sure that all of your answers are definite yes!
But have you ever wondered why God will create such special bonding between human, instead of leaving all of us an lonely island? That can't be explained simply through the importance of cooperation. Friendship is much more than that and also deeper. Cooperation can be existed in both partners and friends. But friends at the same time, can be your partner too! Not your partner when doing project or at work, but your lifetime partner! It's as important as your marital partner.
Whenever you are depressed, your friends will definitely comfort you and give you some spiritual support. There's no existence of profits and loss, which are materialistic things in the world, but simply friendship and love. Whenever you are happy or successful, your friends won't envy you and share the happiness with you as well.
Maybe you can't realize the importance of friendship at this stage as most of you didn't experience much about the outside world. Your friends actually is a platform for you to release your both good and bad emotion away at a regular interval. If you just don't give it away and accumulate them inside your heart, you won't live out the true meaning of this life as you only think of bad things and you don't know how to get it away! So, never underestimate the importance and power of friendship!
I hope through this speech, all of you can really learn something about life. Of course, they are very objective things, and definitely need you to explore themselves. This is the end of my sharing. Thank you!
Foreign observers, including 692 Americans, considered this election to be a fair expression of the views of the Greek people.
The Greek Government has been operating in an atmosphere of chaos and extremism.
It has made mistakes.
The extension of aid by this country does not mean that the United States condones everything that the Greek Government has done or will do.
We have condemned in the past, and we condemn now, extremist measures of the right or the left.
We have in the past advised tolerance, and we advise tolerance now.
Greeks [sic] neighbor, Turkey, also deserves our attention.
The future of Turkey, as an independent and economically sound state, is clearly no less important to the freedom-loving peoples of the world than the future of Greece.
The circumstances in which Turkey finds itself today are considerably different from those of Greece.
Turkey has been spared the disasters that have beset Greece.
And during the war, the United States and Great Britain furnished Turkey with material aid.
Nevertheless, Turkey now needs our support.
Since the war, Turkey has sought financial assistance from Great Britain and the United States for the purpose of effecting that modernization necessary for the maintenance of its national integrity.
That integrity is essential to the preservation of order in the Middle East.
The British government has informed us that, owing to its own difficulties, it can no longer extend financial or economic aid to Turkey.
As in the case of Greece, if Turkey is to have the assistance it needs, the United States must supply it.
We are the only country able to provide that help.
I am fully aware of the broad implications involved if the United States extends assistance to Greece and Turkey, and I shall discuss these implications with you at this time.
One of the primary objectives of the foreign policy of the United States is the creation of conditions in which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free from coercion.
This was a fundamental issue in the war with Germany and Japan.
Our victory was won over countries which sought to impose their will, and their way of life, upon other nations.
To ensure the peaceful development of nations, free from coercion, the United States has taken a leading part in establishing the United Nations.
The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members.
Mr.John Doleva,Hall of Fame Executive Committee,ladies and gentlemen,good evening.
名人堂总裁约翰・多勒夫先生、女士们、先生们,晚上好。
When I heard that I was speaking first tonight,I thought that someone made a mistake.The first speaker should be the great Allen Iverson.I need practice more than he does.
听说今晚第一个发言,我以为有人搞错了。第一个发言的应该是伟大的阿伦・艾弗森。相比于他,我需要更多的练习。
First of all,I would like to thank you for giving me this great honor.Your recognition has made tonight a most memorable moment for me.Although perhaps my career ended too soon,for me I treasure each and every moment.I am grateful for my time on the court,and for your recognition tonight.
首先,我要感谢给我如此殊荣,对我而言,你们的认可让今晚成为最难忘的时刻。尽管我的职业可能生涯结束的太早了,对我而言,我珍惜每一个时刻。我感谢我在球场上的时光,感谢今晚你们的认可。
I would like to thank my sponsors.
我要谢谢我的推介人。
Bill Russell.I remember that you invited me to dinner at your house in Seattle in my rookie year.That evening,and all of your advice since,really built up my confidence and made me feel comfortable in a new country.
比尔・拉塞尔,我不会忘记在新秀季中,你邀请我到西雅图家中进餐。那天晚上,以及此后你所有的建议,让我在新的国度中建立信心,倍感轻松。
Bill Walton.You supported me all the way.Thank you for your advice and encouragement.You were the first one who called me when I woke up from mysurgery.You told me to stay positive.I will always remember that.
比尔・沃尔顿,你一直都支持着我,谢谢你的建议和鼓励。我做手术醒来后,你第一个打电话给我。你告诉我要积极,我一直铭记在心。
Dikembe Mutombo.I put you last because you are the oldest of the three.We played together for five years and had so many memories on and off the court.Nothing can break the bond between us―not even all those elbows you gave me in practice.
迪肯贝・穆托姆博,我最后提你,因为你看起来是三人中最老的。我们五年间一起打球,在球场内外有许多回忆。没有什么能破坏我们的友谊,就算在训练中你给了我不少“黑肘”。
译注:相比82岁的拉塞尔,穆托姆博当然不是最老的,这是个玩笑,谣传说他非洲老家计算年龄的办法是每年在一棵树上砍一刀,后来他到美国打球,回到老家后发现树上刻满了字,就推说记不住自己的年龄了。
As you know I am from China,and my journey began there.
大家知道我来自中国,我的旅程从那里开始。
My parents were basketball players back in the 1970s.I heard so many great stories about them,about how they played and how good they were.More importantly,so many people know how good they are as people.I am very fortunate to be your son.
我的父母是上世纪七十年代的篮球运动员,我听过很多他们的故事,他们如何打球,更重要的,如何做个好人。作为你们的儿子,我感到非常幸运。
The gift I had from you was not only height...the way you taught me how to think,how to make decisions.And of course,my soft touch on the free throw line.Which is why I had 10,000 free throws less than O'Neill.
你们赐予我的礼物不只是个头儿,你们教会我如何思考,如何做出决定。当然还有罚球线上的柔和手感,这也是为什么我比奥尼尔少罚了10000个球。
My wife Li.We met when we were high school age.You know how much you mean to me.Thank you for being my life partner.Our lovely daughter Amy is a treasure to both of us.We wish she could be here,but she is in her first week of school.And she has to live with the consequences of choosing soccer over basketball...I'll fix that.
我的妻子叶莉也来到现场,我们在高中时认识的。你知道你对我有多重要,谢谢你成为我生命中的伴侣。我们可爱的女儿艾米是我们共同的宝贝,很希望她今天也能来,但她开学第一周。她还要承担选择足球而非篮球的后果……我会把她扳回来的。
My basketball journey began on the back of coach Li Zhangmin’s bicycle when he gave me a ride to my very first practice on the basketball court.I would like to congratulate you on a very successful and very long career as you retire this year.Thank you for your work and your effrot,and so many kids have benefited from you and your work.
我的篮球生涯始于李章明教练的自行车后座,他带着我第一次去篮球场训练。你今年退休,我想祝贺你历经非常成功和非常漫长的职业生涯。谢谢你的工作和努力,那么多的孩子受益于你和你的工作。
Coach Li Qiuping you were my coach at the Shanghai Sharks.You led us to win so far the only CBA championship before I came to NBA,and you gave us so much and sacrifice so much in that year you lost your wife to cancer.Thank you for your dedication and your sacrifices to us.
李秋平教练是我在上海大鲨鱼队的教练。你带领我们获得迄今仅有一次的CBA冠军,我后来就来了NBA,你付出良多,牺牲良多,那一年你的妻子因癌症离世。谢谢你的贡献和牺牲。
I want to thank the city of Shanghai,the Shanghai Sharks and the CBA league for doing everything to encourage me,prepare me,train me.They helped me to be ready for the next challenges in my life.
我要感谢上海市,上海大鲨鱼对和CBA联赛,你们尽一切努力鼓励我、帮助我、训练我,让我为人生中下一次挑战做好准备。
There is old saying in China that if the mirror is made of bronze,one can dress properly.If the mirror is history,one can predict ups and downs.If the mirror is people,one can reflect on one’s own weakness and strength.And now,I would like to mention a few mirrors in my life.
中国有句老话,以铜为镜,可以正衣冠;以史为镜,可以知兴替;以人为镜,可以明得失。现在我要提几面我人生中的镜子。
First,I want to mention Mr.Mou Zouyun.He was a basketball legend.Over 80 years ago,Mr.Mou came here to Springfield to study basketball.He went back to China and dedicated his life to Chinese basketball.Today,the CBA Championship Cup is named after him.This cup is the life goal that every CBA player can dream of.
首先,我要提牟作云,他是篮球界的传奇。80年前,牟先生来到斯普林菲尔德学习篮球,回中国后,他把毕生精力都奉献给中国篮球。今天,CBA联赛杯以他的名字命名,这座奖杯是每一位CBA球员梦想的人生目标。
I am not the first Chinese man to play in the NBA.That honor belongs Wang Zhi Zhi.He was a pioneer for all future Chinese players who dream of coming to the NBA.He cleared the road for us and made so many sacrifices.I learned so much from him.Although he cannot be here today,I want to thank him.
我不是第一个到NBA打球的中国人,这份荣誉归于王治郅。他是梦想到NBA打球的所有未来中国球员的先行者。他为我们扫清了道路,做出很多牺牲。我从他那里获益良多。尽管他今年不能来,我还是想谢谢他。
Many people know the story that began when the Rockets drafted me in 20xx.Not many people know how much effort the Rockets put in before I arrived and throughout my career.Thank you to Les Alexander,Michael Goldberg,Carroll Dawson,Tad Brown,Daryl Morey and Keith Jones for making me feel at home in Houston.
很多人知道故事从20xx年火箭队选中我时开始,可不是所有人知道火箭队在我来之前和我整个生涯中付出的努力。感谢莱斯・亚历山大、迈克尔・戈德伯格、卡罗尔・道森、泰德・布朗、达里尔・莫雷和基斯・琼斯,让我在休斯顿感受到家的温暖。
When I arrived in Houston on my first day,Steve Francis gave me a strong high five and a big hug to welcome me.Steve has been the perfect big brother to me ever since that day.
我第一天来休斯顿时,史蒂夫・弗朗西斯给了我一个大力击掌,并深情拥抱来欢迎我,此后他一直是我的老大哥。
Cuttino Mobley invited me to his home for something called“soul food.”I thought he meant salty food which confused me a little bit.Thank you to Steve,Cuttino and everyone on my early Rockets teams for making me feel so welcome.
卡迪诺・莫布里请我去他家吃“灵魂食物”,我听成了“咸口食物”,让我有点摸不着头脑。谢谢史蒂夫、卡迪诺以及早年间火箭队的`队友,让我感到家的感觉。
Rudy T.is famous for saying,“Never underestimate the heart of a champion.”Rudy has demonstrated this not only on the court,but off the court too,especially in his battle with cancer.Rudy,you have always inspired me to be the better that I can be.
鲁迪・汤姆贾诺维奇有句名言:“永远不要低估冠军的心。”鲁迪力行这一格言,不仅在场上,也在场外,尤其在他与癌症抗争的过程中。鲁迪,你一直激励着我做到更好。
When Jeff Van Gundy arrived with Patrick Ewing and Tom Thibodeau,that coaching staff turned us into a tough defensive team,like he always does.
杰夫・范甘迪和帕特里克-尤因、汤姆・锡伯杜加入火箭后,教练组把我们变成防守强悍的队伍,他一向如此。
With T-Mac,Shane Battier,Rafer Alston,we became a talented young team,especially with Dikembe.That team was not only competitive,but a team with a brotherhood.
我们有麦迪、沙恩・巴蒂尔、拉夫・阿尔斯通,我们朝气蓬勃,才华横溢,尤其还有穆托姆博。那支队伍不仅有竞争力,还团结友爱。
I always remember Coach Van Gundy said once that,“The best chance also could be your last.”That is true in basketball and in life.
我一直都记着范甘迪教练曾说:“最好的机会是你最后的机会。”在篮球和生活中都是这样。
My last NBA coach was Rick Adelman.He helped us develop so many talented players like Carl Landry,Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks.We had a great run in 20xx-20xx,but unfortunately my injury cut things short and ended my time with the Rockets too soon.I will always remember my time spent with the Houston Rockets as some of the best times in my life.
我最后一个NBA教练是里克・阿德尔曼,他为球队挖掘了卡尔・兰德里、路易斯・斯科拉和阿隆・布鲁克斯等天才球员。我们08-09赛季高歌猛进,但因为我的伤痛未能走得更远,太早结束了在火箭队的生涯。在休斯顿火箭队的时光我将永远铭记,那是我生命中最好的时光之一。
As a basketball player,I was one of the most blessed players on the planet.I played against some of the best athletes in the world.
作为篮球运动员,我是这个行星上最幸运的选手之一,我和世界上最出色的运动员交手。
A great athlete not only has great teammates,but great opponents.Great opponents push us forward.Opponents like Shaquille O’Neal.Shaq:Every game we played reminded me of the old saying,“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”Thank you for that.
伟大的运动员不仅拥有伟大的队友,还有伟大的对手。伟大的对手推动自己前进。像大鲨鱼奥尼尔这样的对手,我们每打一场比赛都会让我想到一句老话:“杀不死你的让你更强大。”谢谢。
I consider Houston my second home,so I want to say something to the people of Houston.You stood by me in good and bad times.You gave me strength to move forward.I will always consider you my family.I am a Texan and a Houston Rocket for life.
我认为休斯顿是我第二故乡,我想说说休斯顿人民。无论顺境逆境,你们都在背后支持我。你们给了我前进的力量,我将一直把你们当做家人。这辈子,我都是德克萨斯人,我是休斯顿火箭人。
All of this would not be possible without the vision of David Stern and the NBA.Thank you to David Stern,Adam Silver,Kim Bohuny and everyone at the NBA for your kindness and support.
没有大卫・斯特恩的高瞻远瞩和他建立的NBA,这一切都无从谈起。谢谢斯特恩、亚当・席尔瓦、吉姆・伯哈尼和所有NBA人,谢谢你们的好意与支持。
Finally,to Team Yao.We all look older and fatter than when we first met.
最后,谢谢姚之队,我们都比初相见时更老、更胖了。
Ladies and gentlemen,I like to pay my respect to Dr.Naismith,to the 361 members of the Hall of Fame,and to everyone who has contributed to the game of basketball all over the world in last 125 years.
女士们,先生们,我要向奈史密斯博士和名人堂的361名成员致敬,对过去120xx年对篮球运动做出贡献的全世界运动员致敬。

所有这些人都是星辰,他们共同组成了篮球界的浩瀚银河。篮球运动激励了全世界数十亿人。作为其中一员,我将尽我的努力继续推动篮球事业发展,我们盼望着明日之星闪亮登场。
Thank you for this great honor.Thank you.
谢谢给我这份荣誉,谢谢。
Vice President Johnson,Mr. Speaker,Mr. Chief Justice,President Eisenhower,Vice President Nixon,President Truman,reverend clergy,fellow citizens:
We observe today not a victory of party,but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end,as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal,as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state,but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place,to friend and foe alike,that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century,tempered by war,disciplined by a hard and bitter peace,proud of our ancient heritage,and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed,and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know,whether it wishes us well or ill,that we shall pay any price,bear any burden,meet any hardship,support any friend,oppose any foe,to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge -- and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share,we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do -- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free,we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom -- and to remember that,in the past,those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery,we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves,for whatever period is required -- not because the Communists may be doing it,not because we seek their votes,but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.
To our sister republics south of our border,we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds,in a new alliance for progress,to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.
To that world assembly of sovereign states,the United Nations,our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace,we renew our pledge of support -- to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective,to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak,and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run. Finally,to those nations who would make themselves our adversary,we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace,before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.
We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course -- both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons,both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom,yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness,and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear,but let us never fear to negotiate.
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides,for the first time,formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms,and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars,conquer the deserts,eradicate disease,tap the ocean depths,and encourage the arts and commerce.
Let both sides unite to heed,in all corners of the earth,the command of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens,and [to] let the oppressed go free." And,if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion,let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power,but a new world of law -- where the strong are just,and the weak secure,and the peace preserved. All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration; nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.
In your hands,my fellow citizens,more than mine,will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded,each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms,though arms we need -- not as a call to battle,though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle,year in and year out,"rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation," a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny,poverty,disease,and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance,North and South,East and West,that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world,only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy,the faith,the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so,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 man.
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 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.

约翰逊副总统,Speaker先生,首席大法官艾森豪威尔总统,总统,尼克松总统,杜鲁门总统,牧师牧师,同胞们:
今天我们庆祝的不是政党的胜利,而是自由的庆典——象征着一个结束,也是一个开始——意味着更新,以及改变。因为我已在你们和全能的上帝面前庄严宣誓,我们的祖先175年前。
现在世界是非常不同的。因为人类掌握在他生命中的力量,它可以消除所有形式的人类贫困和所有形式的人类生活。可是我们的祖先为之奋斗的革命信念,在世界各地仍然有问题,这个信念就是:人的权利并非来自国家的慷慨,而是来自上帝之手。
今天,我们不敢忘记我们是第一次革命的继承者。让我们从这个时间和地点,朋友和敌人,这火炬已经传给新一代美国人-出生在本世纪,经历过战争的锻炼,在艰苦的和平,有我们古老的遗产感到自豪,他们不愿目睹或允许缓慢打倒那些人权是这个国家一直致力于,也是我们致力于在国内和世界各地的今天。
让每一个国家都知道,无论它希望我们好或坏,我们将付出任何代价,承担任何负担,应付任何困难,支持任何朋友,反对任何敌人,以确保自由的生存和成功。这是我们的承诺-和更多。
对于那些我们共同分享的文化和精神起源的老盟友,我们保证忠实的朋友的忠诚。在一个合作企业中,我们几乎不能做什么。分有一点我们可以做的--因为我们不敢应付强大的挑战在争吵不休、四分五裂时。对于那些我们欢迎的自由的行列的新国家,我们保证我们的话,一种形式的殖民统治不会消失,仅仅是由一个更为残酷的暴政所取代。我们并不总是指望他们支持我们的观点。但我们始终希望找到他们强烈地支持他们自己的.自由,并记住,在过去,那些愚蠢地寻求权力的人骑在老虎的后面结束了。
对于那些在半个地球上挣扎着打破大众苦难的村庄的小屋和村庄的人们,我们保证我们尽最大努力帮助他们帮助他们自己,无论什么时期是必需的-不是因为共产党人可以这样做,不是因为我们寻求他们的选票,而是因为它是正确的。如果一个自由的社会不能帮助那些贫穷的人,它就不能拯救少数富有的人。
在我们的边境南部的姐妹共和国,我们提供了一个特殊的承诺:把我们的好的话变成善行,在一个新的联盟的进步,帮助自由的人和自由的政府摆脱贫困的枷锁。但这种希望的和平革命不能成为敌对势力的猎物。让我们所有的邻居都知道,我们将与他们一起反对在美洲任何地方的侵略或颠覆。让每一个其他的力量知道,这个半球打算保持自己的房子的主人。
对于世界上所有的主权国家,联合国,我们最后的希望,在这样一个时代,战争的手段已经远远超过了和平的工具,我们重申予以支持,防止它仅仅成为谩骂的场所,加强它对新的和弱小国家的保护,并扩大在其主导作用的领域。最后,对于那些与我们为敌,我们提供的不是保证,而是要求:双方重新开始寻求和平,在科学释放出的毁灭性力量有意无意地毁灭全人类。
我们不敢用弱点来诱惑他们。只有当我们的手臂足够超越怀疑时,我们才能毫无疑问地确信他们永远不会被雇用。但也不能两个强有力的国家集团,从我们目前的课程舒适--双方都背负着现代武器的负担,都理所当然使致命的原子武器的不断扩散,但双方都力图改变那不稳定的恐怖平衡保持人类的最后一战。
因此让我们重新开始,双方都应记住,谦恭不是软弱,真诚有待验证。让我们不要出于恐惧而谈判,但让我们不要害怕谈判。
让双方都来探讨使我们团结起来的问题,而不是那些使我们分裂的问题。让双方第一次为检查和控制武器制定严肃和精确的建议,并在所有国家的绝对控制下,带来毁灭其他国家的绝对力量。
让双方寻求召唤的奇迹
