加载中…Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a
place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream
of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power
of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around
schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by
people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first
time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be
different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and
poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian,
Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.
Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been
just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and
blue states.
We are, and alwa
The greater the undertaking, the more difficult it is, and the longer it will take to accomplish it. Sometimes it can't be accomplished even after a lifetime of effort. But it will nevertheless be a contribution of ours if we can devote part of our lifetime to opening up a way, long or short, for the future generations. The same is true if what little we have done serves as a good example to them, or if our fruitless efforts serve as a useful lesson to them. Therefore, succeed or fail, one is considered to have made a contribution so long as he has tried his utmost. Those who refuse to act, those who are afraid to act for fear of failure and those who stop half way in the face of obstacles will have nothing to their credit at all.
---英译中国现代散文选（三） 张培基著
原文：什么事不可能--邹韬奋
Look before you leap. 三思而后行
Make hay while the sun shines.
There is no smoke without fire. 无风不起浪
Ill news travles fast.
Practice makes perfect.
More haste, less speed. 欲速则不达
East or west, home is best. 金窝银窝不如自家狗窝
Everything comes to him who waits. 皇天不负有心人
The moon is not seen when the sun shines. 小巫见大巫
配对类题型是雅思阅读的一个特色题型之一。其难度相对较大，对考生能力要求相对较高。在目前的雅思考试当中，配对题已经占了非常大的比重，考生在复习的时候必须非常重视。
