美国经典英文演讲100篇:The Great Society(6)
This is the place where the Peace Corps was started.
It is inspiring to see how all of you, while you are in this country, are trying so hard to live at the level of the people.
A second place where we begin to build the Great Society is in our countryside. We have always prided ourselves on being not only America the strong and America the free, but America the beautiful. Today that beauty is in danger. The water we drink, the food we eat, the very air that we breathe, are threatened with pollution. Our parks are overcrowded, our seashores overburdened. Green fields and dense forests are disappearing.
A few years ago we were greatly concerned about the "Ugly American." Today we must act to prevent an ugly America.
这里是创建“和平队伍”的地方。
当看到你们所有的人为了按照人民的标准去生活而努力工作时，这无不让人欢欣鼓舞。
创建“伟大社会”的第二个方面在我们的乡村。一直以来，我们引以为豪的是，美国不但是一个强大，自由的美国，也是一个美丽的美国。可时至今日，那种美丽正面临着威胁。我们喝的水，我们吃的食物，我们呼吸的空气，正遭受污染。我们的公园和海滩拥挤不堪，绿地和浓密的森林正在消失。
几年前，我们对“丑陋的美国人”现象忧心忡忡。今天，我们必须行动起来，防止再次出现一个“丑陋的美国”。
