丘吉尔著名演讲原文

Never Give Up

October 29, 1941

Harrow School

When Churchill visited Harrow on October 29 to hear the traditional songs again, he discovered that an additional verse had been added to one of them. It ran:

"Not less we praise in darker days

The leader of our nation,

And Churchill's name shall win acclaim

From each new generation.

For you have power in danger's hour

Our freedom to defend, Sir!

Though long the fight we know that right

Will triumph in the end, Sir!

Almost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master's kind invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen very terrible catastrophic events in the world - ups and downs, misfortunes - but can anyone sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time we were quite alone, desperately alone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed today; but then we were very poorly armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; and I expect you are beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up!

But we must learn to be equally good at what is short and sharp and what is long and tough. It is generally said that the British are often better at the last. They do not expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the thing has to be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes months - if it takes years - they do it.

Another lesson I think we may take, just throwing our minds back to our meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive, and as Kipling well says, we must "…meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same."

You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be done. Those people who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist; certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. But for everyone, surely, what we have gone through in this period - I am addressing myself to the School - surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this tradition of ours, our songs, our School history, this part of the history of this country, were gone and finished and liquidated.

Very different is the mood today. Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. There was no flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those outside these Islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a position where I say that we can be sure that we have only to persevere to conquer.

You sang here a verse of a School Song: you sang that extra verse written in my honour, which I was very greatly complimented by and which you have repeated today. But there is one word in it I want to alter - I wanted to do so last year, but I did not venture to. It is the line: "Not less we praise in darker days."

I have obtained the Head Master's permission to alter darker to sterner. "Not less we praise in sterner days."

Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.

丘吉尔著名演讲过程永不放弃

“永不放弃”—— 丘吉尔简短精彩的演讲

丘吉尔默默的注视着所有的听众。过了一分钟，他打着“v”型手势向听众致意，会场顿时安静下来。

又过了一分钟，他幽默地语重心长地说了四个字：“Never, never, never, never give up!( (永不放弃)”

一分钟后，掌声再次响起。

丘吉尔低头看了看台下的听众。良久，他挥动着手臂，又打着“v”型手势向听众致意，会场又安静了。他铿锵有力说出了四个字：

“永不放弃!”

这次他呼喊着，声音响彻整个会堂。

人们惊讶着，等待着他接下来的演说。

会场又安静下来了。

但大多数听众意识到了其实不需要更多的话语，丘吉尔已经道出了他一生的感悟和成功的秘诀，已经道出了他对学生的忠告。

听众知道，在丘吉尔一生所遭遇的危难中，他永远没有放弃他所要做的事情，世界因为他的出现而改变了。

丘吉尔说完，慢慢地穿上外套，戴上帽子，大家意识到演讲已经结束。

他转过身准备走下讲台，这时整个会场鸦雀无声，人们注视着他，期待着他继续演说。

又停顿了一分钟。丘吉尔转过身来，依然默默地看着听众。此时，他看上去红光满面，炯炯有神。接着，他又开口了，这次声音更加洪亮：

“永不放弃!”

丘吉尔再一次停顿下来，他那刚毅的眼中饱含着泪水。

听众想起了纳粹飞机在伦敦上空肆虐，炸弹落在校园、住宅和教堂上;想起了那个左手紧握着雪茄，右手挥舞着胜利的手势，带领大家从噩梦中冲出来的丘吉尔;想起了曾几次竞选首相失败的丘吉尔，但他毫不气馁，仍然像“一头雄狮”那样去战斗，最后终于取得了成功。他说过：“我想干什么，就一定干成功。”他不但意志坚强，而且待人十分宽厚，能够谅解他人的过失，包括那些曾强烈反对过他的人。他的虚怀若谷，使他摆脱许多烦恼。在长时间的沉默和回想中，听众都感动地流下了眼泪。

丘吉尔又打着“v”型手势向听众致意，转身走下讲台，离开会场。

会场又爆起了热烈的经久不息的掌声。

这是丘吉尔一生中最精彩的一次演讲，也是世界上最简短最震憾的一次演讲。

这次演讲的全过程大概持续了20分钟，但是在这20分钟内，年迈的丘吉尔只讲了三句相同的话——“永不放弃!” 却成了中外演说史上的经典之作。

“永不放弃”——就是永远不要放弃你应该做的事情。

一个人不管在什么时候，处于什么环境中，都会有失败，也会有成功。一个人可喜的收获应该在人生旅途的终点，并非在起点。一个人不知道要走多少步才能到达目的地，当踏上第一千步一万步的时候，仍然有可能遭到失败。但只要有坚定的信念，坚强的毅力，吸取失败的教训，用敏锐的目光去发现机遇，用果断的行动去抓住机遇，坚持不懈地努力。

温斯顿·丘吉尔(1874--1965)，政治家、画家、演说家、作家以及记者，1953年诺贝尔文学奖得主(获奖作品《第二次世界大战回忆录》)，曾于1940—1945年及1951—1955年期间两度任英国首相，被认为是20世纪最重要的政治领袖之一(英国保守党领袖)。他是在第二次世界大战期间，带领英国人民取得反法西斯战争伟大胜利的民族英雄，是与斯大林、罗斯福并立的“三巨头”之一，是矗立于世界史册上的一代伟人。他是历史上掌握英语单词词汇量最多的人之一(12万多)，被美国杂志《展示》列为近百年来世界最有说服力的八大演说家之一。，BBC举行了一个名为“最伟大的100名英国人”的调查，结果丘吉尔获选为有史以来最伟大的英国人。

1948年，英国牛津大学举办了一次“成功奥秘”讲座，邀请的是当时已经声誉登峰造极的英国首相丘吉尔来大学讲演。在讲演前三个月，各种媒体就开始了热烈的炒作，各界人士引颈等待，翘首以盼讲座的到来。

讲演的那一天，会场上人山人海。全世界各大新闻媒体都到齐了。人们都在洗耳恭听的等着这位政治家、外交家、曾获诺贝尔文学奖文学家的“成功秘诀'。

只见丘吉尔走上讲台，两手抓住讲台，两眼注视着观众，用手势止住大家雷动的掌声，说：“我的成功秘诀有三个：第一是，决不放弃;第二是，决不、决不放弃;第三是，决不、决不、决不放弃!我的演讲结束了!”

说完，他就走下了讲台。

会场上沉寂了一分钟后，突然爆发出热烈的掌声。那掌声经久不息

第一个“决不放弃”，是讲干什么事情都要坚持到底;第二个“决不、决不放弃',是讲当你想放弃的时候，而是要坚持“决不、决不放弃”的信心;第三个“决不、决不、决不放弃”，是讲永远坚持下去就能够成功。当然，这是后人做的解释。

这场演讲，是成功演讲史上的经典之作，也是丘吉尔给人们留下的最为精彩的演讲。

丘吉尔著名演讲过程背景(永不放弃)

“永不放弃”—— 丘吉尔简短精彩的演讲

古今中外，有很多演说家以演说的真谛，拨动了无数听众的心弦，留下了脍炙人口的 篇章，丘吉尔(注)就是其中的一个。他在第二次世界大战后，应邀在剑桥大学一次毕业典礼上的演说，简短、精彩，令人难以忘怀。

据说，当时整个会场有上万个学生和其他听众，正迫不及待地要听这位伟大首相那美妙而幽默的励志演说，感受伟人的风采。

丘吉尔在他的随从陪同下准时走进了会场，慢慢地迈着自信的步伐登上讲台。他穿着厚重的外套，戴着黑色的礼帽。在听众的欢呼声中，他脱下外套交给随从，又慢慢地摘下帽子从容地放在讲台上。他看上去很苍老、疲惫，但很自豪、笔直地站在听众面前。
