The Hill We Climb
Mr. President, Dr. Biden, Madam Vice President, Mr. Emhoff,
Americans, and the world,
When day comes we ask ourselves:
Where can we find light in this never-ending shade
The loss we carry, a sea we must wade.
Weve braved the belly of the beast.
Weve learned that quiet isnt always peace.
And the norms and notions of what just is isnt always justice.
And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it.
Somehow we do it.
Somehow weve weathered and witnessed
A nation that isnt broken, but simply unfinished.
We, the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny black girl
Descended from slaves and raised by a single mother
Can dream of becoming president
Only to find herself reciting for one.
And yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine,
But that doesnt mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect.
We are striving to forge our union with purpose,
To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man.
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us,
But what stands before us.
We close the divide because we know to put our future first.
We must first put our differences aside.
We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another.
We seek harm to none and harmony for all.
Let the globe, if nothing else,
Say this is true
That even as we grieved, we grew;
That even as we hurt, we hoped;
That even as we tired, we tried;
That we will forever be tied together victorious.
Not because we will never again know defeat,
But because we will never again sow division.
ure tells us to envision
That everyone shall sit under their own vine in a fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid.
If were to live up to our own time,
Then victory wont lie in the blade,
But in all the bridges weve made.
That is the promise to glade,
The hill we climb if only we dare it
Because being American is more than a pride we inherit;
Its the past we step into and how we repair it.
Weve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it,
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy,
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed,
It can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth, in this faith, we trust
For while we have our eyes on the future,
History has its eyes on us.
This is the era of just redemption
We feared at its inception.
We did not feel prepared to be the heirs
Of such a terrifying hour.
But within it, we found the power
To author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves.
So while once we asked
How could we possibly prevail over catastrophe
Now we assert
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us
We will not march back to what was
But move to what shall be
A country that is bruised,
But whole, benevolent, but bold, fierce, and free.
We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation
Because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation.
Our blunders become their burdens,
But one thing is certain,
If we merge mercy with might and might with right,
Then love becomes our legacy and change our childrens birthright.
So let us leave behind a country
Better than the one we were left
With every breath from my bronze-pounded chest
We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one.
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the West.
We will rise from the wind-swept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution.
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states.
We will rise from the sun-baked South.
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover
In every known nook of our nation,
In every corner called our country,
Our people, diverse and beautiful,
Will emerge battered and beautiful.
When day comes,
We step out of the shade aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it,
For there is always light,
If only were brave enough to see it,
If only were brave enough to be it.
although/while倒装的用法?
although/though/while引导的从句,even if/even though引导的从句,no matter 疑问词/疑问词 ever引导的从句,as引导的让步状语从句;都要求考生熟练掌握。下面详细讲解一下:
第一:although和though同义,一般情况下,可以互换使用。只是though较普遍,常用于非正式的口语或书面语中,而although则较为正式。另外although语气比though重,常用以强调让步概念。 注意:汉语“尽管...但是...”英语中只用其中一个词,要么用though,要么就只用but,二者不可同时出现在一个句子中。
当让步状语从句指某种假设情况时,通常用though,而不用although
though可以独立用作副词,常放在句末,意为all the same (还是;仍然)或however(可是;然而),而although无此用法。
though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装,而although从句则不能。
(4)as/while二者都可以译为“尽管”,但是as 做引导词时候,句子要倒装
e.g:Try as he might,he couldn’t lift the stone. 尽管他可能试了,但他举不起这块石头。
而while就不需要倒装e.g:While he has many good points, Tom has his shortcomings. 虽然汤姆有许多优点, 但也有缺点.
比如:原句though he is young ,根据第一个套法。 young as he is
原句though he makes it well 根据第三种套法: well as he makes it
原句 though she is a girl 根据第二种套法: girl as she is(原句是可数名词单数时,一定要去掉不定冠词a/an)
第二:
1,no matter what 只能引导让步状语从句,不能引导名词性从句(主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句)
2,whatever 既可以引导让步状语从句,又可以引导名词性从句,他用的范围比较广,所以当whatever 和no matter what 一起出现的时候,考点肯定是考“no matter what 不能引导名词性从句”,所以考题出现的时候就选whatever 而不选 no matter what
下面举个例子吧:
No matter what you say is of no importance now.(错)
Whatever you say is of no importance now.(对)
看第一句,no matter what you say 这一部分是整句句子的主语,所以no matter what 引导的是主语从句,但是no matter what 是不能引导主语从句的(名词性从句的一种),所以这句话是错的,而第二句,whatever you say 也同样是句子的主语,而whatever 可以引导名词性从句,所以这句话是对的
下面我再举一个引导状语从句的例子
No matter what happened ,he would not mind.
Whatever happened ,he would not mind.
这两句都是对的,因为这两句从句都是让步状语从句,而no matter what 和whatever 都可以引导,所以是对的
注意:(1)与whatever一样,whoever, whomever, whichever这几个疑问代词不仅可以引导名词性从句,也可引导让步状语从句。引导让步状语从句时等于no matter what, no matter whom, no matter which。
(2)whenever, wherever, whyever, however是疑问副词,不能引导名词性从句。所以它们与no matter when, no matter where, no matter why, no matter how的用法完全相同,都只能引导让步状语从句。
第三:
even ifeven though即使,纵然,引导让步状语从句,与although/though用法等同,没有什么特别值得注意的地方。例如:Even if I failed again,I will not give up the experiment.”即使我再一次失败,我也绝不会放弃实验。
