名家筆下的父親

6月15日是今年的父親節(jié)。每當(dāng)此時(shí)，很多人都會(huì)談起父親的話題。父愛就像朱自清先生《背影》中的那樣，是無言的、嚴(yán)肅的、深厚的。閑暇時(shí)，看名家筆下的父親，會(huì)觸發(fā)我們無限的深思。

著名科學(xué)家楊振寧，在《父親和我》中重溫了他與父親在一起時(shí)的幸福和收獲，以及后來分離兩岸的痛苦。楊振寧去美國留學(xué)前，父親送他的情景，仍不時(shí)停留在他的腦海中?！暗攘艘粋€(gè)多鐘頭，車始終沒有發(fā)動(dòng)。突然我旁邊的一位美國人向我做手勢(shì)，要我向窗外看：驟然間發(fā)現(xiàn)父親原來還在那里等！他瘦削的身材，穿著長袍，額前頭發(fā)已顯斑白?？匆娝麧M面焦慮的樣子，我忍了一早晨的熱淚，一時(shí)崩發(fā)，不能自已?！敝敝两袢眨瑮钫駥庍€時(shí)常念起：“父親曾在芝加哥大學(xué)獲得博士學(xué)位。他游歷甚廣。但我知道，直到臨終前，對(duì)于我的放棄故國，他在心底里的一角始終沒有寬恕過我?！备缸诱媲?，溢于言表。

著名畫家吳冠中記憶中的父愛，卻能載于小舟之中，飄入他的夢(mèng)境。在《父愛之舟》一文中，吳冠中寫了他在艱難求學(xué)的過程中，父親給予他的無私的愛。父親送他入學(xué)時(shí)的情景記憶猶新：“父親不搖櫓的時(shí)候，便抓緊時(shí)間為我縫補(bǔ)棉被，因我那長期臥床的母親，未能給我備齊行裝。我從艙里往外看，父親那彎腰低頭縫補(bǔ)的背影擋住了我的視線。后來我讀到朱自清先生的《背影》時(shí)，這個(gè)船艙里的背影便也就分外明顯，永難磨滅了?！本褪沁@一只小船，送吳冠中走到人生的一個(gè)又一個(gè)關(guān)口，承載著父親對(duì)他的深切希望和濃重的愛。

著名女作家龍應(yīng)臺(tái)，在《目送》中寫到了她對(duì)父親的記憶。龍應(yīng)臺(tái)博士學(xué)位讀完之后，回臺(tái)灣教書?！暗酱髮W(xué)報(bào)到第一天，父親用他那輛運(yùn)送飼料的廉價(jià)小貨車長途送我。到了我才發(fā)覺，他沒開到大學(xué)正門口，而是停在側(cè)門的窄巷邊。卸下行李之后，他爬回車內(nèi)，準(zhǔn)備回去，明明啟動(dòng)了引擎，卻又搖下車窗，頭伸出來說：‘女兒，爸爸覺得很對(duì)不起你，這種車子實(shí)在不是送大學(xué)教授的車子?！饼垜?yīng)臺(tái)感嘆道：“所謂父女一場(chǎng)，你和他的緣分就是今生今世，不斷地在目送他的背影漸行漸遠(yuǎn)。你站立在小路的這一端，看著他逐漸消失在小路轉(zhuǎn)彎的地方，而且，他用背影默默告訴你：不必追?！焙髞砀赣H去世了，龍應(yīng)臺(tái)也結(jié)束了她最后一次的目送，完結(jié)的目送，完結(jié)了傳遞的父女之愛。

著 名作家賈平凹的心里，父親對(duì)他一生影響最大。在《酒》《祭父》等文中，賈平凹寫到，父親是個(gè)鄉(xiāng)村教師，愛朋友愛熱鬧愛主持別人的事情。父親對(duì)家里人都嚴(yán)厲 得很，尤其對(duì)作為長子的賈平凹非常嚴(yán)格。父親的嚴(yán)厲，從某種意義上講，成就了賈平凹。對(duì)父親的敬畏，使他刻苦地走上了文學(xué)之路。父親日日夜夜跟他嘮叨的“做人要寬容、要善良、要謙虛，要好好干事”，影響了他的一生，更成為了他的財(cái)富。賈平凹說，他對(duì)父親特別有感情。他父親只活了六十六歲，因患胃癌去世?！叭松亩檀俸捅?，大義上我全明白，”賈平凹說，但“面對(duì)父親的死我卻無法解脫?！?/p>

著名詩人艾青說，“為什么我的眼里常含著淚水，因?yàn)槲覍?duì)這土地愛得深沉”。父親的愛就像這深沉的大地。這些名家筆下的父親，更讓我們加深了對(duì)父親由衷的愛。

第四篇：英文名家演講語錄9

First Fireside Chat

“The Banking Crisis”

My friends:

I want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the United States about banking--to talk with the comparatively few who understand the mechanics of banking, but more particularly with the overwhelming majority of you who use banks for the making of deposits and the drawing of checks.I want to tell you what has been done in the last few days, and why it was done, and what the next steps are going to be.I recognize that the many proclamations from State capitols and from Washington, the legislation, the Treasury regulations, and so forth, couched for the most part in banking and legal terms, out to be explained for the benefit of the average citizen.I owe this, in particular, because of the fortitude and the good temper with which everybody has accepted the

inconvenience and hardships of the banking holiday.And I know that when you understand what we in Washington have been about, I shall continue to have your cooperation as fully as I have had your sympathy and your help during the past week.First of all, let me state the simple fact that when you deposit money in a bank, the bank does not put the money into a safe deposit vault.It invests your money in many different forms of credit--in bonds, in commercial paper, in mortgages and in many other kinds of loans.In other words, the bank puts your money to work to keep the wheels of industry and of agriculture turning around.A comparatively small part of the money that you put into the bank is kept in currency--an amount which in normal times is wholly sufficient to cover the cash needs of the average citizen.In other words, the total amount of all the currency in the country is only a comparatively small proportion of the total deposits in all the banks of the country.What, then, happened during the last few days of February and the first few days of March? Because of undermined confidence on the part of the public, there was a general rush by a large portion of our population to turn bank deposits into currency or gold--a rush so great that the soundest banks couldn't get enough currency to meet the demand.The reason for this was that on the spur of the moment it was, of course, impossible to sell perfectly sound assets of a bank and convert them into cash, except at panic prices far below their real value.By the afternoon of March third, a week ago last Friday, scarcely a bank in the country was open to do business.Proclamations closing them, in whole or in part, had been issued by the Governors in almost all the states.It was then that I issued the proclamation providing for the national bank holiday, and this was the first step in the Government’s reconstruction of our financial and economic fabric.The second step, last Thursday, was the legislation promptly and patriotically

passed by the Congress confirming my proclamation and broadening my powers so that it became possible in view of the requirement of time to extend the holiday and lift the ban of that holiday gradually in the days to come.This law also gave

authority to develop a program of rehabilitation of our banking facilities.And I want to tell our citizens in every part of the Nation that the national Congress--Republicans and Democrats alike--showed by this action a devotion to public welfare and a realization of the emergency and the necessity for speed that it is difficult to match in all our history.The third stage has been the series of regulations permitting the banks to continue their functions to take care of the distribution of food and household necessities and the payment of payrolls.This bank holiday, while resulting in many cases in great inconvenience, is affording us the opportunity to supply the currency necessary to meet the situation.Remember that no sound bank is a dollar worse off than it was when it closed its doors last week.Neither is any bank which may turn out not to be in a position for immediate opening.The new law allows the twelve Federal Reserve Banks to issue additional currency on good assets and thus the banks that reopen will be able to meet every legitimate call.The new currency is being sent out by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in large volume to every part of the country.It is sound currency because it is backed by actual, good assets.Another question you will ask is this: Why are all the banks not to be reopened at the same time? The answer is simple and I know you will understand it: Your

Government does not intend that the history of the past few years shall be repeated.We do not want and will not have another epidemic of bank failures.As a result, we start tomorrow, Monday, with the opening of banks in the twelve Federal Reserve Bank cities--those banks, which on first examination by the

Treasury, have already been found to be all right.That will be followed on Tuesday by the resumption of all other functions by banks already found to be sound in cities where there are recognized clearing houses.That means about two hundred and fifty cities of the United States.In other words, we are moving as fast as the mechanics of the situation will allow us.On Wednesday and succeeding days, banks in smaller places all through the country will resume business, subject, of course, to the Government's physical ability to complete its survey It is necessary that the reopening of banks be extended over a period in order to permit the banks to make applications for the necessary loans, to obtain currency needed to meet their requirements, and to enable the Government to make common sense checkups.Please let me make it clear to you that if your bank does not open the first day you are by no means justified in believing that it will not open.A bank that opens on one of the subsequent days is in exactly the same status as the bank that opens tomorrow.I know that many people are worrying about State banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System.There is no occasion for that worry.These banks can and will receive assistance from member banks and from the Reconstruction

Finance Corporation.And, of course, they are under the immediate control of the State banking authorities.These State banks are following the same course as the National banks except that they get their licenses to resume business from the State authorities, and these authorities have been asked by the Secretary of the Treasury to permit their good banks to open up on the same schedule as the national banks.And so I am confident that the State Banking Departments will be as careful as the national Government in the policy relating to the opening of banks and will follow the same broad theory.It is possible that when the banks resume a very few people who have not recovered from their fear may again begin withdrawals.Let me make it clear to you that the banks will take care of all needs, except, of course, the hysterical demands of hoarders, and it is my belief that hoarding during the past week has become an exceedingly unfashionable pastime in every part of our nation.It needs no prophet to tell you that when the people find that they can get their money--that they can get it when they want it for all legitimate purposes--the phantom of fear will soon be laid.People will again be glad to have their money where it will be safely taken care of and where they can use it conveniently at any time.I can assure you, my friends, that it is safer to keep your money in a reopened bank than it is to keep it under the mattress.The success of our whole national program depends, of course, on the cooperation of the public--on its intelligent support and its use of a reliable system.Remember that the essential accomplishment of the new legislation is that it makes it possible for banks more readily to convert their assets into cash than was the case before.More liberal provision has been made for banks to borrow on these assets at the Reserve Banks and more liberal provision has also been made for issuing

currency on the security of these good assets.This currency is not fiat currency.It is issued only on adequate security, and every good bank has an abundance of such security.One more point before I close.There will be, of course, some banks unable to

reopen without being reorganized.The new law allows the Government to assist in making these reorganizations quickly and effectively and even allows the

Government to subscribe to at least a part of any new capital that may be required.I hope you can see, my friends, from this essential recital of what your Government is doing that there is nothing complex, nothing radical in the process.We have had a bad banking situation.Some of our bankers had shown themselves either incompetent or dishonest in their handling of the people’s funds.They had used the money entrusted to them in speculations and unwise loans.This was, of course, not true in the vast majority of our banks, but it was true in enough of them to shock the people of the United States, for a time, into a sense of insecurity and to put them into a frame of mind where they did not differentiate, but seemed to assume that the acts of a comparative few had tainted them all.And so it became the Government’s job to straighten out this situation and do it as quickly as possible.And that job is being performed.I do not promise you that every bank will be reopened or that individual losses will not be suffered, but there will be no losses that possibly could be avoided;and there would have been more and greater losses had we continued to drift.I can even promise you salvation for some, at least, of the sorely presses banks.We shall be engaged not merely in reopening sound banks but in the creation of more sound banks through reorganization.It has been wonderful to me to catch the note of confidence from all over the

country.I can never be sufficiently grateful to the people for the loyal support that they have given me in their acceptance of the judgment that has dictated our course, even though all our processes may not have seemed clear to them.After all, there is an element in the readjustment of our financial system more important than currency, more important than gold, and that is the confidence of the people themselves.Confidence and courage are the essentials of success in carrying out our plan.You people must have faith;you must not be stampeded by rumors or guesses.Let us unite in banishing fear.We have provided the machinery to restore our financial system, and it is up to you to support and make it work.It is your problem, my friends, your problem no less than it is mine.Together we cannot fail.

第五篇：英文名家演講語錄8

Adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights

Mr.President, fellow delegates:

The long and meticulous study and debate of which this Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the product means that it reflects the composite views of the many men and governments who have contributed to its formulation.Not every man nor every government can have what he wants in a document of this kind.There are of course particular provisions in the declaration before us with which we are not fully satisfied.I have no doubt this is true of other delegations, and it would still be true if we continued our labors over many years.Taken as a whole the Delegation of the United States believes that this a good document--even a great document--and we propose to give it our full support.The position of the United States on the various parts of the declaration is a matter of record in the Third Committee.I shall not burden the Assembly, and particularly my colleagues of the Third Committee, with a restatement of that position here.Certain provisions of the declaration are stated in such broad terms as to be

acceptable only because of the limitations in article 29 providing for limitation on the exercise of the rights for the purpose of meeting the requirements of morality, public order, and the general welfare.An example of this is the provision that

everyone has the right of equal access to the public service in his country.The basic principle of equality and of nondiscrimination as to public employment is sound, but it cannot be accepted without limitations.My government, for example, would consider that this is unquestionably subject to limitation in the interest of public order and the general welfare.It would not consider that the exclusion from public employment of persons holding subversive political beliefs and not loyal to the basic principles and practices of the constitution and laws of the country would in any way infringe upon this right.Likewise, my Government has made it clear in the course of the development of the declaration that it does not consider that the economic and social and cultural rights stated in the declaration imply an obligation on governmental action.This was made quite clear in the Human Rights Commission text of article 23 which served as a so-called “umbrella” article to the articles on economic and social rights.We consider that the principle has not been affected by the fact that this article no longer contains a reference to the articles which follow it.This in no way affects our whole-hearted support for the basic principles of economic, social, and cultural rights set forth in these articles.In giving our approval to the declaration today it is of primary importance that we keep clearly in mind the basic character of the document.It is not a treaty;it is not an international agreement.It is not and does not purport to be a statement of basic principles of law or legal obligation.It is a declaration of basic principles of human

rights and freedoms, to be stamped with the approval of the General Assembly by formal vote of its members, and to serve as a common standard of achievement for all peoples of all nations.We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United

Nations and in the life of mankind, that is the approval by the General Assembly of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights recommended by the Third Committee.This declaration may well become the international Magna Carta of all men

everywhere.We hope its proclamation by the General Assembly will be an event comparable to the proclamation of the Declaration of the Rights of the Man by the French people in 1789, the adoption of the Bill of Rights by the people of the United States, and the adoption of comparable declarations at different times in other countries.At a time when there are so many issues on which we find it difficult to reach a common basis of agreement, it is a significant fact that 58 states have found such a large measure of agreement in the complex field of human rights.This must be taken as testimony of our common aspiration first voiced in the Charter of the United Nations to lift men everywhere to a higher standard of life and to a greater enjoyment of freedom.Man’s desire for peace lies behind this declaration.The

realization that the fragrant violation of human rights by Nazi and Fascist countries sowed the seeds of the last world war has supplied the impetus for the work which brings us to the moment of achievement here today.In a recent speech in Canada, Gladstone Murray said:

“The central fact is that man is fundamentally a moral being, that thelight we have is imperfect does not matter so long as we are always

trying to improve it … we are equal in sharing the moral freedom thatdistinguishes us as men.Man’s status makes each individual an end inhimself.No man is by nature simply the servant of the state or of

another man … the ideal and fact of freedom—and not

technology—are the true distinguishing marks of our civilization.”

This declaration is based upon the spiritual fact that man must have freedom in which to develop his full stature and through common effort to raise the level of human dignity.We have much to do to fully achieve and to assure the rights set forth in this declaration.But having them put before us with the moral backing of 58 nations will be a great step forward.As we here bring to fruition our labors on this Declaration of Human Rights, we must at the same time rededicate ourselves to the unfinished task which lies before us.We can now move on with new courage and inspiration to the completion of an international covenant on human rights and of measures for the implementation of human rights.In conclusion I feel that I cannot do better than to repeat the call to action by Secretary Marshall in his opening statement to this Assembly:

“Let this third regular session of the General Assembly approve by anoverwhelming majority the Declaration of Human Rights as a

statement of conduct for all;and let us, as Members of the UnitedNations, conscious of our own short-comings and imperfections, joinour effort in all faith to live up to this high standard.”
