Unit Two: History and Personality Text A Voice of CourageBy Jonathan Alter?勇气之声〔美国〕乔纳森·奥尔特?A few days after Franklin Delano Roosevelt was sworn into office, he sat in the White House working on a radio speech about the countrys banking crisis, scheduled for delivery on Sunday, March 12, 1933. It was the depths of the Depression, with a quarter of Americans out of work, homeless and destitute. Glancing out the window, FDR saw a workman taking down the inaugural scaffolding on the White House grounds.在富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福宣誓就职的几天后,他坐在白宫里起草一份关于美国银行业危机的广播演说,它将于1933年3月12日这个星期天播出。此时此刻,美国正处于经济大萧条的水深火热之中,四分之一的美国人不是失业,就是无家可归,穷困潦倒。罗斯福向窗外望去,只见一个工人正在拆掉白宫临时搭建的总统就职演说的平台。? I decided Id try to make a speech that this workman could understand, he told Louis Howe, his chief aide. “我一定要让这样的普通工人也能听得懂我的演讲。”他对首席助理路易斯·霍夫说。??The American economic system was in a state of shock.

If you had your money in a bank that went bust, you were wiped out. With no idea whether banks would reopen, millions of people hid their few remaining assets under their mattresses, where no one could steal them without a fight. 这就是底线了。如果你存钱的银行倒闭了,那么你也就完蛋了。数以百万计的美国人无法确定银行是否能够重新开门,于是把自己仅剩的那点财产都藏在褥垫下面。除非经过一场激战,藏在这里的钱谁也偷不走。Roosevelts inaugural address at the Capitol had begun to restore hope, with his standout line, The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
