好英文娓娓动听Words and Expressions

A genuine revolution of values means in the final analysis that our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional.Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies.

This call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond one"s tribe, race, class, and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all mankind. This oft misunderstood, this oft misinterpreted concept, so readily dismissed by the Nietzsches of the world as a weak and cowardly force, has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of man.When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response.I am not speaking of that force which is just emotional bosh.I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life.Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality.This Hindu-Muslim-Christian-Jewish-Buddhist belief about ultimate reality is beautifully summed up in the first epistle of Saint John:“If we love one another, God dwelleth in us and his love is perfected in us.”ALet us hope that this spirit will become the order of the day.

We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate.And history is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate.As Arnold Toynbee says,“Love is the ultimate force that makes for the saving choice of life and good against the damning choice of death and evil.BTherefore the first hope in our inventory must be the hope that love is going to have the last word”.

ALet us hope that this spirit will become the order of the day.

我们共同希望这种精神会蔚然成风。

the order of the day 1.议事日程:put sth.on the order of the day 把某事提到议事日程上。

2.风气:Coordination and mutual help have become the order of the day.协作与互助已经蔚然成风。

BTherefore the first hope in our inventory must be the hope that love is going to have the last word.

所以,在我们众多的希望中,列在首位的一定是希望爱会最终决定一切。

(have)the last word(做出)最后决定,说了算数。例如:He always has to have the last word in any argument.在任何争论中,总是得他最后说了算。

好英文娓娓动听Words and Expressions

We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today.We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late.Procrastination is still the thief of time.ALife often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with a lost opportunity.The tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood—it ebbs.We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is adamant to every plea and rushes on.Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words,“Too late.”There is an invisible book of life that faithfully records our vigilance or our neglect.Omar Khayyam is right:“The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.”

We still have a choice today:nonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation. We must move past indecision to action.We must find new ways to speak for peace in Vietnam and justice throughout the developing world, a world that borders on our doors.If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.

Now let us begin. BNow let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world.This is the calling of the sons of God, and our brothers wait eagerly for our response.Shall we say the odds are too great?Shall we tell them the struggle is too hard?Will our message be that the forces of American life militate against their arrival as full men, and we send our deepest regrets?Or will there be another message—of longing, of hope, of solidarity with their yearnings, of commitment to their cause, whatever the cost?The choice is ours, and though we might prefer it otherwise, we must choose in this crucial moment of human history.
