1
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd planned to speak to you tonight to report on the State of the Union.
2
But the events of earlier today have led me to change those plans.
3
Today is a day for mourning and remembering.
4
Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger.
5
We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country.
6
This is truly a national loss.
7
Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground.
8
But we've never lost an astronaut in flight.
9
We've never had a tragedy like this.
10
And perhaps we've forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle.
11
But they, the Challenger Seven, were aware of the dangers, but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly.
12
We mourn seven heroes.
13
Michael Smith, Dick Scobie, Judith Resnick,
14
Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe.
15
We mourn their loss as a nation together.
16
The families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy.
17
But we feel the loss, and we're thinking about you so very much.
18
Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, give me a challenge and I'll meet it with joy.
19
They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths.
20
They wished to serve, and they did.
21
They served all of us.
22
We've grown used to wonders in this century.
23
It's hard to dazzle us.
24
But for 25 years, the United States space program has been doing just that.
25
We've grown used to the idea of space, and perhaps we forget that we've only just begun.
26
We're still pioneers.
27
They, the members of the Challenger crew, were pioneers.
28
And I want to say something to the school children of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle's takeoff.
29
I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen.
30
It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery.
31
It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons.
32
The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted.
33
It belongs to the brave.
34
The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them.
35
I've always had great faith in and respect for our space program, and what happened today does nothing to diminish it.
36
We don't hide our space program.
37
We don't keep secrets and cover things up.
38
We do it all up front and in public.
39
That's the way freedom is and we wouldn't change it for a minute.
40
We'll continue our quest in space.
41
There will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space.
42
Nothing ends here.
43
Our hopes and our journeys continue.
44
I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man
45
and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission
46
and tell them your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades, and we know of your anguish.
47
We share it.
48
There's a coincidence today.
49
On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama.
50
In his lifetime, the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said he lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.
51
Well, today, we can say of the Challenger crew, their dedication was, like Drake's, complete.
52
The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger honored us for the manner in which they lived their lives.
53
We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye
54
and slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God.
55
Thank you.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
