克林顿求婚演讲英文

你要的是克林顿昨天在美国民主党代表大会上的讲话？下面是你要的那部分：

In the spring of 1971,I met a girl The first time I saw her, we were, appropriately enough, in aclass on political and civil rights She had thick blond hair, big glassesWore no makeup And she exuded this strength of self-possession I found magnetic

After the class, Ifollowed her out, intending to introduce myself I got close enough to touchher back, but I couldn't do it Somehow, I knew this would not be just anothertap on the shoulder, that I might be starting something I couldn't stop I saw herseveral more times the next few days but still didn't speak to her Then onenight in the law library talking to a classmate who wanted me to join the YaleLaw Journal, he said it would guarantee me a job at a big firm or a clerkshipwith a federal judge I really wasn’t interested — I just wanted to go home toArkansas

Then I saw the girlagain, standing at the opposite end of that long room Finally, she was staringback at me So I watched her She closed her book, put it down, and startedwalking toward me She walked the whole length of the library, came up to me,and said, "Look, if you are going to keep staring at me, we at least oughtto know each other's name I'm Hillary Rodham, who are you" I was soimpressed and surprised that, whether you believe it or not, momentarily, I wasspeechless

Finally, I sort ofblurted out my name and we exchanged a few words, and she went away Well, Ididn't join the Law Review, but I did leave that library with a whole new goalin mind A couple days later, I saw her again, wearing a long, white, floweryskirt, and I went up to her and she said she was going to register for classesfor the next term I said I would go too

We stood in line andtalked — you had to do that to register back then I thought I was doing prettywell until we got to the front of the line and the registrar looked up andsaid, "Bill, what are you doing here You registered this morning"

I turned red and shelaughed that big laugh of hers and I thought, well, heck, since my cover hasbeen blown, I asked her to take a walk down to the art museum We have beenwalking, and talking, and laughing together ever since

And we have done it ingood times, through joy and heartbreak We cried together this morning on thenews that our good friend and a lot of your good friend, Mark Weiner, passedaway early this morning We built up a lifetime of memories After the firstmonth and that first walk, I drove her home to Park Ridge, Illinois, to meether family and see the town where she grew up, a perfect example of post-WorldWar II middle-class America Street after street of nice houses, great schools,good parks, a big public swimming pool And almost all white

I really liked herfamily, her crusty, conservative father, her rambunctious brothers, allextolling the virtue of rooting for the bears and the cubs And for the peopleof Illinois here, they even told me what waiting for next year meant — could benext year, guys

Now, her mother wasdifferent She was more liberal than the boys She had a childhood that mademine look like a piece of cake She was easy to underestimate with her softmanner and she reminded me all over again of the truth of that old saying thatyou should never judge a book by its cover Knowing her was one of the greatestgifts Hillary ever gave me

I learned that Hillarygot her introduction to social justice through her Methodist youth minister,Don Jones He took her downtown to Chicago to hear Martin Luther King Jr speakand he remained her friend for the rest of his life This will be the onlycampaign of hers he ever missed

When she got tocollege, her opposition to the Vietnam War compelled her to change parties andbecome a Democrat And then between college and law school, on a total lark,she went alone to Alaska and spent time sliming fish

More to the point, bythe time I met her she had already been involved in the law school's legalservices project and she had been influenced by Marian Wright Edelman She tooka summer internship interviewing workers in migrant camps for Sen WalterMondale’s subcommittee She had also begun working in the Yale New Havenhospital to develop procedures to handle suspected child abuse cases

She got so involved inchildren's issues that she actually took an extra year in law school working atthe child studies center to learn what more could be done to improve the livesand futures of poor children She was already determined to figure out how tomake things better

Hillary opened my eyesto a whole new world of public service by private citizens In the summer of1972, she went to Dothan, Alabama, to visit one of those segregated academiesthat enrolled over a half a million white kids in the South The only way theeconomics worked was if they claimed federal tax exemptions to which they werenot legally entitled She got sent to prove they weren't

So she sauntered intoone of these academies all by herself, pretending to be a housewife that justmoved to town and needed to find a school for her son And they exchangepleasantries and finally, she said, "Look, let's get to the bottom lineIf I enroll my son in this school, will he be in a segregated school Yes orno" And the guy said "Absolutely" She had him I’ve seen it athousand times since

And she went back andher encounter was part of a report that gave Marian Wright Edelman the forcethey needed to keep working to get the Nixon administration to take those taxexemptions away and give our kids access to an equal education

Then she went down toSouth Texas, where she met one of the nicest fellows I ever met, the wonderfulunion leader Franklin Garcia, and he helped her register Mexican-Americanvoters I think some of them are still around to vote for her in 2016 Andthen, in our last year in law school, Hillary kept up this work She went toSouth Carolina to see why so many young African-American boys — I mean, youngteenagers — were being jailed for years with adults in men's prisons She fileda report on that, which led to some changes too Always making things better

Meanwhile, let's getback to business I was trying to convince her to marry me I first proposed toher on a trip to Great Britain, the first time she'd ever been overseas Wewere on the shoreline of this wonderful lake, Lake Ennerdale I asked her tomarry me and she said, "I can't do it"

So in 1974, I wenthome to teach in law school and Hillary moved to Massachusetts to keep workingon children's issues This time, trying to figure out why so many kids countedin the census weren't enrolled in school

She found one of themsitting alone on her porch in a wheelchair Once more, she filed a report aboutthese kids and that helped influence ultimately the Congress to adopt theproposition that children with disabilities, physical or otherwise, should haveequal access to public education You saw the result of that last night whenAnastasia Somoza talked She never made fun of people with disabilities Shetried to empower them based on their abilities

Meanwhile, I was stilltrying to get her to marry me The second time I asked, I tried a differenttactic I said, "I really want you to marry me, but you shouldn't doit" She smiled and looked at me like what is this boy up to She said,"That is not a very good sales pitch" I said, "I know but it'strue" And I meant it It was true I said, "I know most of the youngDemocrats our age who want to go into politics, they mean well and they speakwell, but none of them is as good as you are at actually doing things to makepositive changes in people's lives"

So I suggested she gohome to Illinois or move to New York and look for a chance to run for officeShe laughed and said, "Are you out of your mind Nobody would ever votefor me" So I finally got her to come visit me in Arkansas And when shedid, the people at the law school were so impressed, they offered her ateaching position And she decided to take a huge chance

She moved to a strangeplace, more rural and conservative than anywhere she had been Where she knewgood and well that people were wondering what in the world she was like andwhether they could or should accept her Didn't take them long to find out whatshe was like

She loved herteaching She got frustrated when one of her students said, "What do youexpect, I'm just from Arkansas" She said, "Don’t tell me thatYou’re as smart as anybody You just have to believe in yourself and work forit and set high goals" She believed anyone could make it She alsostarted the first legal aid clinic in northwest Arkansas, providing legal aidservices to poor people who couldn't pay for them

One day, I was drivingher to the airport to fly back to Chicago when we passed this little brickhouse that had a for-sale sign on it and she said, "Boy, that's a prettyhouse" It had 1,100 square feet, an attic fan and no air conditioner inhot Arkansas, and a screened-in porch Hillary commented on what a uniquelydesigned and beautiful house it was

So I took a bigchance I bought the house My mortgage was $175 a month When she came back, Ipicked her up and said, "You remember that house you like" I said,"While you were gone, I bought it, and you have to marry me now" Thethird time was the charm We were married in that little house on October 11,1975 I married my best friend

如何用英语求婚　Let’s tie the knot！我们结婚吧！这句话可以换一种表达方法：“Let’s get hitch！”这两句话都是用一种轻松幽默的方式去建议结婚。当然啦，用传统的方式去pop the question你可以说“Will you marry me？”（你愿意和我结婚吗？)　也可以Will you marry me？你愿意嫁给（娶)我吗？Would you be my wife/husband？你愿意当我的妻子/丈夫吗？I think it’s time we took some vows。我想是我们该许下誓言的时候了。I think it’s time we settled down…我想是我们该稳定下来的时候了……I want to spend the rest of my life with you。我要与你共度余生。　 怎样求婚成功率更高　 最感人的求婚告白1　告白适合在烛光晚餐的时候，海边散步的时候，月下轻语的时候，在晚霞相拥，晨光相生。有种感动可以让你欢笑，有种感动会让你流泪。爱她需要了解她，了解她需要的是什么，如果你能做到，那么就把这当做惊喜赐予她。告诉她“在一千个身边走过的`女人中，我只听到了你的脚步声，那999个人踏在地上，只有你踏在我心上，那是一种暖意，不管走到哪里，我都希望有这个脚步陪伴着我，留在我身边！XXX我爱你！”　 最感人的求婚告白2　没有鲜花不要紧，但是求婚戒指可千万不能忽略，因为它代表了你的承诺！你可以带她去一个最想去的旅游景点，在她开心欢笑的欣赏美景的时候，你掏出准备好的戒指跟她求婚告白，“XXX嫁给我吧！请允许我能够在你生命的每一天里照顾你，带给你欢乐，我不敢肯定你是世界上最幸福女人，在你面前有两个选择，一个是爱，一个是不爱；而我可以肯定的是，会为你成为最幸福的女人而努力，我的选择只有两个，一个是爱，另一个是更爱。”　求婚英文怎么说2　 1、登峰造极　如果你的女友是运动型，你可以在一天的攀岩活动之后，站在山峰的至高点向她求婚。其他可行的方法包括：跳伞时在半空中，潜水时在深海中，如此等等　 2、录像表心意　制作一盘向她求婚的录像带很可以打动她的心，特别是如果你能够同她一起观看这盘录像。　她一定会高兴得跳起来，立刻就要和你去度蜜月　 3、空中要挟　一种更公开的方式是利用你们一起坐飞机的机会。你可以请求机长通过无线电通话系统将你的求婚传达给身边的女友。例如，你可以请机长说：我们正飞行在青藏高原的上空，再有将近40分钟就可以到达目的地。顺便说一句，安娜，李可问你他是否有幸能够娶你为妻。在众目睽睽之下，相信你得到的只可能是一个愿意，当然，还有安全降落。　 4、高速路上　设想她正在开车回家的路上，前面广告牌上的皮鞋广告突然变成了露露，你愿意嫁给我吗？这一定能够使你的求婚事半功倍。不仅如此，来来往往的车辆都会了解你的心意，并且祝福你成功。他们还会祝愿你的露露别因为过于兴奋而撞到牌子上。　 5、银幕为媒　你勉强同意陪她去看最新上映的超级言情大片。就在影片正式开演之前，播放了只有一行字幕的加片：马雅，你愿意做我的妻子吗？虽然你不会因为精心导演此片而荣获奥斯卡奖，至少它会作为浪漫一幕被记录在该**院的院史之中。
