Independence Day（《独立日》）中最激动人心的演讲
Good morning.
早上好.
In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world.
再过一小时,这里的飞机将与世界各地的盟友并肩战斗.
And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind.
你们将参与人类历史上最大的空战.
Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today.
人类.这个词今天对于我们所有人将有新的意义.

We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more.
我们不能再为小小的分歧而内耗.
We will be united in our common interest.
我们将为共同利益团结起来.
Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July.
也许是上帝的安排,今天是独立日.
And you will once again be fighting for our freedom.
你们将再一次为自由而战.
Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution.
不是为了反抗暴政、压迫和迫害.
But from annihilation.
而是免遭毁灭.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
是为生存的权力而战斗.
And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice.
如果我们今天能够胜利,七月四日将不仅是美国人民的假日,而且将使全世界人民发出同样的呐喊：
"We will not go quietly into the night!"
“我们不会默默地走向黑暗!”
"We will not vanish without a fight!"
“我们不会就这样坐以待毙!”
"We're going to live on!"
“我们要生活一下去!”
"We're going to survive!"
“我们一定要生存下去!”
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!
今天我们要庆祝自己的独立日!

US Independence Day
July 4th (US)
Independence Day is the national holiday of the United States of America commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
At the time of the signing the US consisted of 13 colonies under the rule of England's King George III. There was growing unrest in the colonies concerning the taxes that had to be paid to England. This was commonly referred to as "Taxation without Representation" as the colonists did not have any representation in the English Parliament and had no say in what went on. As the unrest grew in the colonies, King George sent extra troops to help control any rebellion. In 1774 the 13 colonies sent delegates to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to form the First Continental Congress. The delegates were unhappy with England, but were not yet ready to declare war.
In April 1775 as the King's troops advanced on Concord Massachusetts Paul Revere would sound the alarm that "The British are coming, the British are coming" as he rode his horse through the late night streets. The battle of Concord and its "shot heard round the world" would mark the unofficial beginning of the colonies war for Independence.
The following May the colonies again sent delegates to the Second Continental Congress. For almost a year the congress tried to work out its differences with England, again without formally declaring war.
By June 1776 their efforts had become hopeless and a committee was formed to compose a formal declaration of independence. Headed by Thomas Jefferson, the committee included John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston and Roger Sherman. Thomas Jefferson was chosen to write the first draft which was presented to the congress on June 28. After various changes a vote was taken late in the afternoon of July 4th. Of the 13 colonies, 9 voted in favor of the Declaration, 2 - Pennsylvania and South Carolina voted No, Delaware undecided and New York abstained.
And although the signing of the Declaration was not completed until August, the 4th of July has been accepted as the official anniversary of United States independence. The first Independence Day celebration took place the following year - July 4 1777. By the early 1800s the traditions of parades, picnics, and fireworks were established as the way to celebrate America's birthday. And although fireworks have been banned in most places because of their danger, most towns and cities usually have big firework displays for all to see and enjoy.
