美国经典英文演讲100篇:The Great Society(10)

I intend to establish working groups to prepare a series of White House conferences and meetings — on the cities, on natural beauty, on the quality of education, and on other emerging challenges. And from these meetings and from this inspiration and from these studies we will begin to set our course toward the Great Society.

The solution to these problems does not rest on a massive program in Washington, nor can it rely solely on the strained resources of local authority. They require us to create new concepts of cooperation, a creative federalism, between the National Capital and the leaders of local communities.

Woodrow Wilson once wrote: "Every man sent out from his university should be a man of his Nation as well as a man of his time."

我计划成立几个工作组,筹备一系列的白宫会议,解决出现的城市,自然景观,教育质量等问题。通过这些会议,我们研究制定奔向“伟大社会”的路线。

要想解决这些问题,仅仅依靠华盛顿庞大的计划是不够的,也不能仅仅依靠地方政府的有限资源,而是要求我们在首都和地方社区领导之间形成合作的新观念和富有创造性的联邦制度。

伍德罗•威尔逊总统写道:“大学里送出的每个人,都应该成为他的国家,他那个时代的栋梁。”在你们的人生中,已经释放出强大的力量,它将把我们带上一条超越自我,超越我们想象空间的人生道路。
