翻譯:愛國就是對祖國的忠誠和熱愛。歷朝歷代,許多仁人志士都具有強烈的憂國憂民思想,以國事為己任,前仆後繼,臨難不屈,保衛祖國,關懷民生,這種可貴的精神,使中華民族歷經劫難而不衰。愛國的內容十分廣泛,熱愛祖國的山河,熱愛民族的歷史,關心祖國的命運,在危難之時英勇戰斗,為祖國捐軀,都是愛國主義的表現。在中華民族五千年的發展歷程中,中華民族形成了以愛國主義為核心的偉大的民族精神。
捐軀赴國難,視死忽如歸,正是由於對祖國的深切熱愛,勤勞智慧的中華兒女共同開拓了遼闊的疆域,創造了輝煌燦爛的文化。肩負著實現中華民族偉大復興的我們,要熱愛祖國的大好河山,積極維護祖國的主權獨立和領土完整,祖國的領土寸土不能丟,不能被分裂侵佔;要熱愛祖國的歷史和文化,提高民族自尊心和自信心,為創造更加輝煌的民族文化而盡心盡力。
今天,我國已步入新的歷史時期,加入世貿組織使我國與世界各國的聯系更加密切,機遇與挑戰並存,我們將面臨越來越多的新情況、新問題。推進我國改革開放的偉大事業,加快社會主義現代化建設的進程,更需要我們不斷弘揚愛國主義的優良傳統。只有這樣,中華民族才能重振雄風,為人類文明與進步做出更大的貢獻。
少年興則國興,小年強則國強。我們要適應時代發展的要求,正確認識祖國的歷史和現實,增強愛國的情感和振興祖國的責任感,樹立民族自尊心與自信心;弘揚偉大的中華民族精神,高舉愛國主義旗幟,銳意進取,自強不息,艱苦奮斗,頑強拼搏,真正把愛國之志變成報國之行。今天為振興中華而勤奮學習,明天為創造祖國輝煌未來貢獻自己的力量!

想過去,看今朝,多少輝煌與滄桑,你我可記得春天裡的故事。三十周年過去了,中國像一個成長中的青年,正一他朝氣蓬勃的生機,一天天壯大,一步步強壯。「東亞病夫」這個枯朽名詞早已沉澱歷史,所謂黑眼睛的、黃皮膚的中國人站起來了!是改革開放的力量讓每一個華人的臉上都洋溢著春風般的笑容,我們都會自豪的說:「我是中國人,我愛中華人民共和國」!
1978年,十年浩劫早已精疲力盡,三中全會像一杯聖水澆灌了飢渴的生靈,像一座燈塔指引了迷失的航船,像一位智者點醒了求索人的智慧……改革開放,一個歷史性的轉變,讓中國走上走向現代化的正確道路。我們都知道改革開放成就了社會主義,誰又能說不是改革開放拯救了社會主義呢?三十年來,中國共產黨帶領各族人民不停地探索,從成功中積累經驗,從失敗中獲取教訓,終於找到了一條符合中國國情的特色社會主義道路。一位老人說過:發展才是硬道理。是啊,市場經濟,入世,到今天的和諧世界。中國已從過去的被動轉變為現在的主動。繼往開來,「三個代表」使中國成功跨入了21世紀,科學發展觀更是展開了21世紀中國發展的藍圖,誰又能「十七大」不是改革開放道路中的一個加油站呢?
或許一開始你我只能從歷史上了解中國可以建造鐵路,生產配件,大不了來一個「中國製造」。是的,那是開始,那同樣也是成就。從京九鐵路到今天的高速鐵路;昨天的加工配件,今天卻有了自主品牌;曾經的製造也可以在世界人的心目中不得不承認創造也會來自中國。改革,中國在改革,世界就有了新的改變;開放,中國的開放,世界就有了新的生機。進出口貿易擴大,沒有改革開放,世界會有今天中國著龐大的市場嗎?究竟是中國成就了世界,還是世界成就了中國,好像都已不是很重要了。
曲折中前進,前進中曲折。98金融危機早已安然而去,今天金融風波又將給中國帶來新的挑戰。不論是非典、雪災、地震,每一個中國人都深深銘記著萬眾一心,眾志成城。就算是出了什麼挑釁、台獨、3•14,可能對於一些極少數人是個蒙蔽,但那已是不得人心的事實,甚至一提起大家就會咬牙切齒!今天北京盛會的成功舉行,神七的發射升空,正證明了團結、積極、向上的凝聚力、自信心、自豪感。三十年風雨滄桑,三十年光輝歲月,你我更堅信:一切皆有可能,發展永不止步! 「恰同學少年,風華正茂」,我們應該肩負起歷史的責任,做一名真正的改革開放的繼承者和接班人!

I love you, China
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I』 very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is 「I love you, China.」
Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I』ve ever learnt has been 「I love you, China!」
I love you, China, and I』m so proud of being a Chinese. I』m proud that I』ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I』m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.
I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father』s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and asked: 「Little boy, how long have you been in America?」 「About a month,」 I answered, 「How lucky you are!」 he said, 「If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?」 I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, 「I』m proud of you, China. For you are offering us the best ecation.」
When I came back from the USA, my friends asked me: 「How do you feel about your staying there?」 「Wonderful」 I said. 「Then why do you come back?」 Hearing this, I told them there were lots of beautiful countries in the world, but none of them can compare with our own country—China. How true the saying is: 「There』s no place like home!」
I love you, China. As a young student, all we should do is to study hard and devote ourselves whole-heartedly in the future, to the great cause of building you into an even stronger and greater country in the world. I love you, my dear motherland! I love you, China!
Thank you for your listening !

獨立宣言
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
First Draft
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a people to advance from that subordination in which they have hitherto remained, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the equal and independent station to which the laws of nature and of nature's god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the change
We hold these truths to be [sacred and undeniable] selfevident, that all men are created equal and independent; that from that equal creation they derive in rights inherent and inalienables, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing it's powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes: and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, begun at a distinguished period, and pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to [subject] rece them to arbitrary power, it is their right, it is their ty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --
Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to expunge their former systems of government. the history of his present majesty is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations, among which no fact stands single or solitary to contradict the uniform tenor of the rest, all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. to prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.
Second Draft
In Congress, July 4, 1776,
THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to the m shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to rece them under absolute Des potism, it is their right, it is their ty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands .
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introcing the same absolute rule into t hese Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the Lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the H ead of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and sett lement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf t o the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Bri tain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. An d for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

1776年7月4日北美原十三個英屬殖民地一致通過的《獨立宣言》原文:
在有關人類事務的發展過程中,當一個民族必須解除其和另一個民族之間的政治聯系,並在世界各國之間依照自然法則和上帝的意旨,接受獨立和平等的地位時,出於人類輿論的尊重,必須把他們不得不獨立的原因予以宣布。
我們認為下面這些真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等,造物者賦予他們若干不可剝奪的權利,其中包括生命權、自由權和追求幸福的權利。為了保障這些權利,人類才在他們之間建立政府,而政府之正當權力,是經被治理者的同意而產生的。當任何形式的政府對這些目標具破壞作用時,人民便有權力改變或廢除它,以建立一個新的政府;其賴以奠基的原則,其組織權力的方式,務使人民認為唯有這樣才最可能獲得他們的安全和幸福。為了慎重起見,成立多年的政府,是不應當由於輕微和短暫的原因而予以變更的。過去的一切經驗也都說明,任何苦難,只要是尚能忍受,人類都寧願容忍,而無意為了本身的權益便廢除他們久已習慣了的政府。但是,當追逐同一目標的一連串濫用職權和強取豪奪發生,證明政府企圖把人民置於專制統治之下時,那麼人民就有權利,也有義務推翻這個政府,並為他們未來的安全建立新的保障--這就是這些殖民地過去逆來順受的情況,也是它們現在不得不改變以前政府制度的原因。當今大不列顛國王的歷史,是接連不斷的傷天害理和強取豪奪的歷史,這些暴行的唯一目標,就是想在這些州建立專制的暴政。為了證明所言屬實,現把下列事實向公正的世界宣布--
他拒絕批准對公眾利益最有益、最必要的法律。
他禁止他的總督們批准迫切而極為必要的法律,要不就把這些法律擱置起來暫不生效,等待他的同意;而一旦這些法律被擱置起來,他對它們就完全置之不理。
他拒絕批准便利廣大地區人民的其它法律,除非那些人民情願放棄自己在立法機關中的代表權;但這種權利對他們有無法估量的價值,而且只有暴君才畏懼這種權利。
他把各州立法團體召集到異乎尋常的、極為不便的、遠離它們檔案庫的地方去開會,唯一的目的是使他們疲於奔命,不得不順從他的意旨。
他一再解散各州的議會,因為它們以無畏的堅毅態度反對他侵犯人民的權利。
他在解散各州議會之後,又長期拒絕另選新議會;但立法權是無法取消的,因此這項權力仍由一般人民來行使。其實各州仍然處於危險的境地,既有外來侵略之患,又有發生內亂之憂。
他竭力抑制我們各州增加人口;為此目的,他阻撓外國人入籍法的通過,拒絕批准其它鼓勵外國人移居各州的法律,並提高分配新土地的條件。
他拒絕批准建立司法權力的法律,藉以阻撓司法工作的推行。
他把法官的任期、薪金數額和支付,完全置於他個人意志的支配之下。
他建立新官署,派遣大批官員,騷擾我們人民,並耗盡人民必要的生活物質。
他在和平時期,未經我們的立法機關同意,就在我們中間維持常備軍。
他力圖使軍隊獨立於民政之外,並凌駕於民政之上。
他同某些人勾結起來把我們置於一種不適合我們的體制且不為我們的法律所承認的管轄之下;他還批准那些人炮製的各種偽法案來達到以下目的:
在我們中間駐扎大批武裝部隊;
用假審訊來包庇他們,使他們殺害我們各州居民而仍然逍遙法外;
切斷我們同世界各地的貿易;
未經我們同意便向我們強行征稅;
在許多案件中剝奪我們享有陪審制的權益;
羅織罪名押送我們到海外去受審;
在一個鄰省廢除英國的自由法制,在那裹建立專制政府,並擴大該省的疆界,企圖把該省變成既是一個樣板又是一個得心應手的工具,以便進而向這里的各殖民地推行同樣的極權統治;
取消我們的憲章,廢除我們最寶貴的法律,並且根本上改變我們各州政府的形式;
中止我們自己的立法機關行使權力,宣稱他們自己有權就一切事宜為我們制定法律。
他宣布我們已不屬他保護之列,並對我們作戰,從而放棄了在這里的政務。
他在我們的海域大肆掠奪,蹂躪我們沿海地區,焚燒我們的城鎮,殘害我們人民的生命。
他此時正在運送大批外國傭兵來完成屠殺、破壞和肆虐的勾當,這種勾當早就開始,其殘酷卑劣甚至在最野蠻的時代都難以找到先例。他完全不配作為一個文明國家的元首。
他在公海上俘虜我們的同胞,強迫他們拿起武器來反對自己的國家,成為殘殺自己親人和朋友的劊子手,或是死於自己的親人和朋友的手下。
他在我們中間煽動內亂,並且竭力挑唆那些殘酷無情、沒有開化的印第安人來殺掠我們邊疆的居民;而眾所周知,印第安人的作戰規律是不分男女老幼,一律格殺勿論的。
在這些壓迫的每一陷階段中,我們都是用最謙卑的言辭請求改善;但屢次請求所得到的答復是屢次遭受損害。一個君主,當他的品格已打上了暴君行為的烙印時,是不配作自由人民的統治者的。
我們不是沒有顧念我們英國的弟兄。我們時常提醒他們,他們的立法機關企圖把無理的管轄權橫加到我們的頭上。我們也曾把我們移民來這里和在這里定居的情形告訴他們。我們曾經向他們天生的正義善感和雅量呼籲,我們懇求他們念在同種同宗的份上,棄絕這些掠奪行為,以免影響彼此的關系和往來。但是他們對於這種正義和血緣的呼聲,也同樣充耳不聞。因此,我們實在不得不宣布和他們脫離,並且以對待世界上其它民族一樣的態度對待他們:和我們作戰,就是敵人;和我們和好,就是朋友。
因此,我們,在大陸會議下集會的美利堅聯盟代表,以各殖民地善良人民的名義,非經他們授權,向全世界最崇高的正義呼籲,說明我們的嚴正意向,同時鄭重宣布;這些聯合一致的殖民地從此是自由和獨立的國家,並且按其權利也必須是自由和獨立的國家,它們取消一切對英國王室效忠的義務,它們和大不列顛國家之間的一切政治關系從此全部斷絕,而且必須斷絕;作為自由獨立的國家,它們完全有權宣戰、締和、結盟、通商和採取獨立國家有權採取的一切行動。
為了支持這篇宣言,我們堅決信賴上帝的庇佑,以我們的生命、我們的財產和我們神聖的名譽,彼此宣誓。
