1
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:08,410
皮策校长、副总统先生、州长先生、
President Pitzer,
Mr. Vice President, Governor,

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,910
托马斯众议员、威利
参议员、米勒众议员、
Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley,
and Congressman Miller,

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,790
韦布先生、贝尔先生、
Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell,

4
00:00:17,380 --> 00:00:20,856
各位科学家、各位贵宾
女士们、先生们
scientists, distinguished guests,
and ladies and gentlemen:

5
00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:26,596
感谢贵校校长授予我
荣誉客座教授的头衔
I appreciate your president having
made me an honorary visiting professor,

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,156
我向各位保证
我的第一堂课会非常简短
and I will assure you that my first
lecture will be very brief.

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,796
我很高兴来到这里
I am delighted to be here

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,351
尤其高兴能在这样的时刻来到这里
and I'm particularly delighted
to be here on this occasion.

9
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:43,516
我们相聚在一所以知识著称的大学
一座以进步著称的城市
We meet at a college noted for knowledge,
in a city noted for progress,

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,590
一个以实力著称的州
而这三者我们都需要
in a state noted for strength,
and we stand in need of all three,

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,556
因为我们相聚在一个
变革与挑战的时刻
for we meet in an hour of change
and challenge,

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,736
一个希望与恐惧交织的十年
in a decade of hope and fear,

13
00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:58,956
一个知识与无知并存的时代
in an age of both knowledge and ignorance.

14
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,670
我们的知识增长得越多
我们的无知就暴露得越多
The greater our knowledge increases,
the greater our ignorance unfolds.

15
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,696
尽管一个惊人的事实是
人类有史以来的
Despite the striking fact
that most of the scientists

16
00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:13,710
大多数科学家
如今都还健在并仍在工作
that the world has ever known are alive
and working today,

17
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,216
尽管事实上
despite the fact

18
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:20,836
我国的科技人才每12年翻一番
that this Nation's own scientific
manpower is doubling every 12 years

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,710
增长速度是我国总人口增速的3倍多
in a rate of growth more than three times
that of our population as a whole,

20
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:32,636
尽管如此 那大片的未知领域、
despite that, the vast
stretches of the unknown

21
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,496
悬而未决的问题
and the unanswered

22
00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:41,210
和未竟的事业
仍远远超出我们全体的理解能力
and the unfinished still far
outstrip our collective comprehension.

23
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,416
没有人能完全理解我们
走了多远、走得多快
No man can fully grasp how far
and how fast we have come,

24
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,510
但不妨设想一下
but condense, if you will,

25
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,416
把人类有记载的5万年历史
the 50 thousand
years of man's recorded history

26
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,050
压缩到区区半个世纪之内
in a time span of but a half-century.

27
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:04,870
照此来说 对于最初的40年
我们知之甚少
Stated in these terms, we know
very little about the first 40 years,

28
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,010
只知道在这40年的末尾
except at the end of them

29
00:02:07,340 --> 00:02:11,470
先进的人类学会了用兽皮遮体
advanced man had learned
to use the skins of animals to cover them.

30
00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:15,550
接着 大约10年前 按这个标准
Then about 10 years ago,
under this standard,

31
00:02:15,940 --> 00:02:20,390
人类走出洞穴
搭建起其他形式的栖身之所
man emerged from his caves
to construct other kinds of shelter.

32
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:27,010
仅仅5年前 人类才学会写字
学会使用带轮子的车
Only five years ago man learned to write
and use a cart with wheels.

33
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:31,110
基督教诞生还不到2年
Christianity began
less than two years ago.

34
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,050
印刷机今年才出现
The printing press came this year,

35
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,856
然后不到2个月前
and then less than two months ago,

36
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:41,256
在这整整50年的人类历史中
during this whole 50-year
span of human history,

37
00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:45,370
蒸汽机提供了一种新的动力来源
the steam engine provided
a new source of power.

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,270
牛顿探索了引力的意义
Newton explored the meaning of gravity.

39
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:52,396
上个月 电灯、电话、
Last month electric lights and telephones

40
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,250
汽车和飞机才问世
and automobiles
and airplanes became available.

41
00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:02,876
直到上周
我们才研发出青霉素、电视和核能
Only last week did we develop penicillin
and television and nuclear power,

42
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,776
而现在
如果美国的新航天器成功抵达金星
and now if America's new
spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus,

43
00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:13,910
那么在今晚午夜之前
我们就真的抵达星辰了
we will have literally reached
the stars before midnight tonight.

44
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,670
这是令人惊叹的速度
This is a breathtaking pace,

45
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:23,670
而这样的速度在驱散旧弊的同时
必然带来新的弊病
and such a pace cannot help
but create new ills as it dispels old,

46
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,770
新的无知、新的问题、新的危险
new ignorance, new problems, new dangers.

47
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:34,550
诚然 太空展现的广阔前景
意味着高昂的代价与艰辛
Surely the opening vistas of space
promise high costs and hardships,

48
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,570
也意味着丰厚的回报
as well as high reward.

49
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,190
因此 不足为奇的是
So it is not surprising

50
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:45,550
有些人希望我们在原地多停留一会儿
休息 等待
that some would have us stay where
we are a little longer to rest, to wait.

51
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,636
但休斯敦这座城市、得克萨斯州、
But this city of Houston,
this state of Texas,

52
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,661
美国这个国家 都不是由那些等待、
this country of the United States
was not built by those who waited

53
00:03:53,745 --> 00:03:56,850
休息、只想回头看的人建成的
and rested and wished to look behind them.

54
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,830
这个国家由勇往直前的人征服
太空也将如此
This country was conquered by those who
moved forward—and so will space.

55
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,896
威廉·布拉德福德
William Bradford,

56
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:17,836
1630年在谈及
speaking in 1630 of the founding

57
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,576
普利茅斯湾殖民地的创建时
of the Plymouth Bay Colony,

58
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:21,376
说道 一切伟大
said that all great

59
00:04:21,460 --> 00:04:25,496
而光荣的事业都伴随着巨大的困难
and honorable actions are accompanied
with great difficulties,

60
00:04:25,580 --> 00:04:32,236
二者都必须以相应的
勇气去承担和克服
and both must be enterprised
and overcome with answerable courage.

61
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,370
如果说这段简短的
进步史能给我们什么启示
If this capsule history of our progress
teaches us anything,

62
00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:40,176
那就是
人类在追求知识与进步的过程中
it is that man,
in his quest for knowledge and progress,

63
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:43,116
意志坚定 不可阻挡
is determined and cannot be deterred.

64
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,916
太空探索将继续推进
The exploration of space will go ahead,

65
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,576
无论我们是否参与
whether we join in it or not,

66
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:53,096
这是有史以来最伟大的冒险之一
and it is one of the great
adventures of all time,

67
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:56,216
任何一个期望
and no nation which expects

68
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:59,516
成为其他国家领导者的国家
to be the leader of other
nations can expect

69
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,750
都不能指望在这场太空竞赛中落后
to stay behind in this race for space.

70
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,576
我们的先辈确保了
Those who came before us made certain

71
00:05:06,660 --> 00:05:11,556
这个国家乘上了
工业革命的第一波浪潮、
that this country rode the first
waves of the industrial revolution,

72
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,376
现代发明的第一波浪潮
the first waves of modern invention,

73
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:16,636
以及核能的第一波浪潮
and the first wave of nuclear power,

74
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,496
而我们这一代人不愿
and this generation does not intend
to founder

75
00:05:21,580 --> 00:05:24,950
在即将到来的太空时代的尾流中沉没
in the backwash of the coming
age of space.

76
00:05:25,060 --> 00:05:28,510
我们要参与其中——我们要引领它
We mean to be a part of it—we mean
to lead it.

77
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:43,036
因为如今全世界的目光都投向太空
For the eyes of the world now look
into space,

78
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,636
投向月球及更远的行星
to the moon and to the planets beyond,

79
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,376
我们已经立誓 绝不让它被
and we have vowed
that we shall not see it governed

80
00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:54,796
敌对的征服之旗所统治
by a hostile flag of conquest,

81
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,716
而要让它由自由与和平的旗帜引领
but by a banner of freedom and peace.

82
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:05,116
我们已经立誓
绝不让太空充斥着大规模杀伤性武器
We have vowed that we shall not see space
filled with weapons of mass destruction,

83
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,536
而要让它充满知识与理解的工具
but with instruments of knowledge
and understanding.

84
00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:14,096
然而 我国的誓言只有在
Yet the vows of this Nation
can only be fulfilled

85
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:17,396
我们这个国家争得第一时才能实现
if we in this Nation are first,

86
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,370
因此 我们决心要争第一
and, therefore, we intend to be first.

87
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,716
总之
我们在科学和工业上的领导地位、
In short,
our leadership in science and industry,

88
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,770
我们对和平与安全的期望、
our hopes for peace and security,

89
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:38,476
我们对自己以及对他人的义务
our obligations to ourselves
as well as others,

90
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,936
都要求我们做出这番努力
去解开这些谜团
all require us to make this effort,
to solve these mysteries,

91
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:46,376
为全人类的福祉去解开它们
to solve them for the good of all men,

92
00:06:46,460 --> 00:06:51,170
并成为世界头号航天大国
and to become the world's
leading space-faring nation.

93
00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:57,396
我们扬帆驶向这片新的海洋
是因为有新的知识等待获取
We set sail on this new sea because
there is new knowledge to be gained,

94
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,556
有新的权利等待争取
and new rights to be won,

95
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,676
而这些权利必须争取到手
并用于全人类的进步
and they must be won and used
for the progress of all people.

96
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,996
因为太空科学
如同核科学和一切技术一样
For space science,
like nuclear science and all technology,

97
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,610
本身并没有良知
has no conscience of its own.

98
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,790
它将成为造福还是作恶的力量
取决于人类
Whether it will become a force
for good or ill depends on man,

99
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:24,030
只有美国占据卓越的领先地位
and only if the United States
occupies a position of pre-eminence

100
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:30,616
我们才能帮助决定
这片新的海洋将成为和平之海
can we help decide whether
this new ocean will be a sea of peace

101
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:34,036
还是一个可怕的新战场
or a new terrifying theater of war.

102
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,876
我并不是说 我们应该
I do not say that we should

103
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,216
或者将会对敌对方滥用太空毫无防备
or will go unprotected against
the hostile misuse of space

104
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:49,116
正如我们不会对敌对方
利用陆地或海洋毫无防备
any more than we go unprotected
against the hostile use of land or sea,

105
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,256
但我确实要说 太空可以被探索、
but I do say that space can be explored

106
00:07:52,340 --> 00:07:56,410
被掌握 而无需助燃战火
and mastered without
feeding the fires of war,

107
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,436
也不必重蹈人类
without repeating the mistakes
that man has made

108
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,130
在我们这个星球上扩张势力时的覆辙
in extending his writ
around this globe of ours.

109
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,636
外层空间中 还没有纷争 没有偏见
There is no strife, no prejudice,

110
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,410
也没有国家间的冲突
no national conflict
in outer space as yet.

111
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,570
它的种种危险 与我们所有人为敌
Its hazards are hostile to us all.

112
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:17,410
征服太空值得全人类倾尽所长
Its conquest deserves
the best of all mankind,

113
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:22,770
而太空所提供的和平合作机会
可能再也不会出现
and its opportunity for peaceful
cooperation may never come again.

114
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,690
但有人会问 为什么是月球？
But why, some say, the moon?

115
00:08:25,780 --> 00:08:28,410
为什么选择它作为我们的目标？
Why choose this as our goal?

116
00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:32,990
他们也不妨问
为什么要攀登最高的山峰？
And they may well ask why
climb the highest mountain?

117
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,976
为什么35年前要飞越大西洋？
Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic?

118
00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:39,176
莱斯大学为什么要
和得克萨斯大学比赛？
Why does Rice play Texas?

119
00:08:39,260 --> 00:08:41,550
我们选择登月
We choose to go to the moon.

120
00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:44,190
我们选择登月……
We choose to go to the moon...

121
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:54,216
我们选择在这个十年登月
并完成其他事业
We choose to go to the moon in this decade
and do the other things,

122
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:58,076
不是因为它们轻而易举
而是因为它们困难重重
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard,

123
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,616
因为这个目标将有助于凝聚
because that goal will serve to organize

124
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:05,396
并检验我们最充沛的
精力和最精湛的技能
and measure the best of our energies
and skills,

125
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,470
因为这个挑战是我们乐于接受的
because that challenge is one
that we are willing to accept,

126
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,936
是我们不愿推迟的
one we are unwilling to postpone,

127
00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:15,550
是我们决心赢得的 其他挑战也一样
and one which we intend to win,
and the others, too.

128
00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:26,716
正是出于这些原因
我认为去年做出的决定——
It is for these reasons
that I regard the decision last year

129
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,296
把我们的航天事业从
低速挡换到高速挡——
to shift our efforts
in space from low to high gear

130
00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:33,696
是我在总统任期内
as among the most important decisions

131
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:37,896
将要做出的最重要的决定之一
that will be made during my incumbency
in the office of the Presidency.

132
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:43,176
在过去的24小时里
我们看到正在建造的设施
In the last 24 hours we have seen
facilities now being created

133
00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:48,350
将用于人类历史上最
伟大、最复杂的探索
for the greatest and most complex
exploration in man's history.

134
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:52,336
我们感受到大地震颤、空气撕裂
We have felt the ground shake
and the air shattered

135
00:09:52,420 --> 00:09:56,236
那是土星C-1助推火箭在进行试验
by the testing of a Saturn C-1
booster rocket,

136
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,576
它的推力是当年发射约翰·
格伦的宇宙神火箭的许多倍
many times as powerful as the Atlas
which launched John Glenn,

137
00:10:01,660 --> 00:10:05,376
产生的动力相当于1万辆汽车
generating power equivalent
to 10 thousand automobiles

138
00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:07,990
把油门踩到底
with their accelerators on the floor.

139
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,116
我们看到了这样一个场地
5台F-1火箭发动机
We have seen the site
where five F-1 rocket engines,

140
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,670
每台的功率都相当于土星
火箭全部8台发动机的总和
each one as powerful as all eight
engines of the Saturn combined,

141
00:10:19,220 --> 00:10:24,290
将集束在一起 构成高级土星火箭
will be clustered together
to make the advanced Saturn missile,

142
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,656
它将在卡纳维拉尔角
一座新建的大楼里组装
assembled in a new building
to be built at Cape Canaveral

143
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:31,936
大楼高达48层
as tall as a 48 story structure,

144
00:10:32,020 --> 00:10:38,470
宽如一个街区
长度相当于这片球场的两倍
as wide as a city block,
and as long as two lengths of this field.

145
00:10:38,660 --> 00:10:44,936
过去19个月里
至少有45颗卫星环绕地球运行
Within these last 19 months at least
45 satellites have circled the earth.

146
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:48,656
其中约40颗由美利坚合众国制造
Some 40 of them were made
in the United States of America

147
00:10:48,740 --> 00:10:50,858
它们要先进得多
and they were far more sophisticated

148
00:10:50,942 --> 00:10:54,516
为世界人民提供的知识也多得多
and supplied far more knowledge
to the people of the world

149
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,056
远超苏联的卫星
than those of the Soviet Union.

150
00:10:57,140 --> 00:10:59,190
水手号探测器……
The Mariner spacecraft...

151
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,056
正在飞往金星的水手号探测器
The Mariner spacecraft now on its way

152
00:11:07,140 --> 00:11:12,516
是太空科学史上最精密的仪器
to Venus is the most intricate instrument
in the history of space science.

153
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,676
那次发射的精度
The accuracy of that shot is comparable

154
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,096
相当于从卡纳维拉尔角发射一枚导弹
to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral

155
00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:22,170
让它落在这座体育场的
两条40码线之间
and dropping it in this stadium
between the 40-yard lines.

156
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:27,890
子午仪卫星正帮助我们的
海上船只更安全地航行
Transit satellites are helping our ships
at sea to steer a safer course.

157
00:11:27,974 --> 00:11:30,562
泰罗斯卫星为我们提供了前所未有的
Tiros satellites
have given us unprecedented

158
00:11:30,646 --> 00:11:33,136
飓风和风暴预警
warnings of hurricanes and storms,

159
00:11:33,220 --> 00:11:36,896
将来还会对森林火灾和冰山发出预警
and will do the same
for forest fires and icebergs.

160
00:11:36,980 --> 00:11:38,816
我们有过失败
We have had our failures,

161
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:41,956
别人也有 即便他们不承认
but so have others,
even if they do not admit them.

162
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,896
而且他们的失败可能不那么公开
And they may be less public.

163
00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:45,036
诚然……
To be sure,...

164
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,636
诚然 我们落后了
To be sure, we are behind,

165
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,596
而且在载人飞行方面
还将落后一段时间
and will be behind
for some time in manned flight.

166
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,616
但我们不打算一直落后
But we do not intend to stay behind,

167
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:02,590
在这个十年里
我们将迎头赶上 后来居上
and in this decade,
we shall make up and move ahead.

168
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,016
我们的科学与教育将得到发展和丰富
The growth of our science
and education will be enriched

169
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:16,982
得益于对宇宙和环境的新知识
by new knowledge of our universe
and environment,

170
00:12:17,066 --> 00:12:20,916
得益于学习、测绘和观测的新技术
by new techniques of learning
and mapping and observation,

171
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,816
得益于用于工业、医疗、
by new tools and computers for industry,
medicine,

172
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:27,070
家庭以及学校的新工具和计算机
and the home as well as the school.

173
00:12:27,340 --> 00:12:32,830
像莱斯大学这样的理工院校
将收获这些成果
Technical institutions, such as Rice,
will reap the harvest of these gains.

174
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,496
最后 航天事业本身
And finally, the space effort itself,

175
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:37,376
虽仍处于起步阶段
while still in its infancy,

176
00:12:37,460 --> 00:12:40,556
却已催生了大批新公司
has already created a great
number of new companies,

177
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,230
以及数以万计的新工作岗位
and tens of thousands of new jobs.

178
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,276
航天及相关产业正在产生新的需求
Space and related industries
are generating new demands

179
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,236
包括投资和技术人才
in investment and and skilled personnel,

180
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,896
而这座城市、这个州
and this city and this state,

181
00:12:53,980 --> 00:12:57,770
以及这一地区
都将在这一增长中大大受益
and this region,
will share greatly in this growth.

182
00:12:58,130 --> 00:13:02,096
这里曾是西部的
旧边疆上最前沿的哨所
What was once the furthest outpost
on the old frontier of the West

183
00:13:02,180 --> 00:13:07,890
也将成为科学与太空
新边疆上最前沿的哨所
will be the furthest outpost
on the new frontier of science and space.

184
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:15,196
休斯敦 你们的休斯敦市
Houston, your city of Houston,

185
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,896
凭借其载人航天器中心
with its Manned Spacecraft Center,

186
00:13:17,980 --> 00:13:23,650
将成为一个庞大的
科学与工程界的中心
will become the heart of of a large
scientific and engineering community.

187
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,516
未来5年里 美国国家航空
During the next 5 years
the National Aeronautics

188
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,136
航天局预计将把这一地区的
and Space Administration expects to double

189
00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:33,279
科学家和工程师人数翻一番
the number of scientists
and engineers in this area,

190
00:13:33,363 --> 00:13:35,996
将用于薪资
to increase its outlays for salaries

191
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,276
和开支的费用增至
每年6000万美元
and expenses to 60 million dollars a year;

192
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,896
投资约2亿美元建设
厂房和实验室设施
to invest some 200 million dollars
in plant and laboratory facilities;

193
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:47,616
并从这座城市的这个中心 指导或外包
and to direct
or contract for new space efforts

194
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:51,936
价值超过10亿美元的新航天项目
over 1 billion dollars
from this center in this city.

195
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:56,436
诚然 这一切都要花我们很多钱
To be sure, all this costs
us all a good deal of money.

196
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:02,396
今年的航天预算是
1961年1月时的3倍
This year's space budget is three
times what it was in January 1961,

197
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,576
而且超过了
and it is greater

198
00:14:04,660 --> 00:14:08,276
此前8年航天预算的总和
than the space budget of the previous
eight years combined.

199
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,356
这项预算目前为每年
That budget now stands at 5 billion 400

200
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,896
54亿美元——这是一笔惊人的巨款
million dollars a year—a staggering sum,

201
00:14:15,980 --> 00:14:20,830
虽然略低于我们每年
花在香烟和雪茄上的钱
though somewhat less than we pay
for cigarettes and cigars every year.

202
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,150
航天开支……
Space expenditures...

203
00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:30,936
航天开支很快还会再增加
Space expenditures
will soon rise some more,

204
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:34,136
从每人每周40美分
from 40 cents per person per week

205
00:14:34,220 --> 00:14:39,776
增加到美国每个男人、
女人和孩子每周50多美分
to more than 50 cents a week for every
man, woman and child in the United States,

206
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:46,636
因为我们已将这项计划列为国家
重点优先事项——尽管我也明白
for we have given this program a high
national priority—even though I realize

207
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,656
这在某种程度上是
出于信念与远见的举措
that this is in some measure
an act of faith and vision,

208
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:55,190
因为我们现在并不知道
会有什么益处在等着我们
for we do not now know
what benefits await us.

209
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,910
但是 同胞们 如果我说
我们要向月球——
But if I were to say, my fellow citizens,
that we shall send to the moon,

210
00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:06,256
那个距离休斯敦控制站
24万英里的地方——
240 thousand miles away
from the control station in Houston,

211
00:15:06,340 --> 00:15:11,036
发射一枚高达300
多英尺的巨型火箭
a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall,

212
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,576
长度相当于这座橄榄球场
由新型合金制成
the length of this football field,
made of new metal alloys,

213
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:18,150
其中有些合金尚未发明出来
some of which have not yet been invented,

214
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,216
它能承受的高温和应力
capable of standing heat and stresses

215
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:24,690
是以往所承受过的数倍
several times more than have ever
been experienced,

216
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,890
组装精度超过最精密的手表
fitted together with a precision better
than the finest watch,

217
00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:32,176
携带推进、
carrying all the equipment needed
for propulsion,

218
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:34,810
制导、控制、通信、
guidance, control, communications,

219
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,236
食品和生存所需的全部设备
执行一项从未尝试过的任务
food and survival, on an untried mission,

220
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,270
飞向一个未知的天体
然后再安全返回地球
to an unknown celestial body,
and then return it safely to earth,

221
00:15:44,380 --> 00:15:49,450
再入大气层时速度超过
每小时2.5万英里
re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of
over 25 thousand miles per hour,

222
00:15:49,792 --> 00:15:53,616
产生的高温约为太阳
温度的一半——几乎
causing heat about half
that of the temperature of the sun—almost

223
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:59,056
和今天这里一样热——要完成这一切
而且要做好
as hot as it is here today—and
do all this, and do it right,

224
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:04,650
还要在这个十年结束之前抢先
完成——那我们就必须勇敢无畏
and do it first before this decade
is out—then we must be bold.

225
00:16:13,710 --> 00:16:15,945
活儿都是我在干
I'm the one who is doing all the work,

226
00:16:16,029 --> 00:16:18,735
所以请大家先凉快一会儿
so we just want you to stay cool
for a minute.

227
00:16:19,481 --> 00:16:21,716
不过 我想我们会做到的
However, I think we're going to do it,

228
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,996
而且我认为该付出的
代价我们必须付出
and I think
that we must pay what needs to be paid.

229
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,796
我认为我们不应浪费一分钱
但我认为我们应该把这件事做成
I don't think we ought to waste any money,
but I think we ought to do the job.

230
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,616
这将在六十年代完成
And this will be done
in the decade of the Sixties.

231
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,916
也许在你们当中一些人
It may be done
while some of you are still here

232
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,176
还在这所大学就读时就能完成
at school at this college and university.

233
00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:39,396
这将在今天台上就座的一些人
It will be done during
the terms of office of some of the people

234
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,245
的任期之内完成
who sit here on this platform.

235
00:16:41,329 --> 00:16:42,356
但它一定会完成
But it will be done.

236
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,176
而且将在这个十年结束之前完成
And it will be done before
the end of this decade.

237
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:46,256
我很高兴
And I am delighted

238
00:16:46,340 --> 00:16:50,281
这所大学正在为把
人送上月球贡献力量
that this university is playing a part
in putting a man on the moon

239
00:16:50,365 --> 00:16:54,310
作为美利坚合众国一项
伟大国家事业的一部分
as part of a great national
effort of the United States of America.

240
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,656
多年前
伟大的英国探险家乔治·马洛里——
Many years ago the great
British explorer George Mallory,

241
00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:11,830
他后来遇难于珠穆朗玛峰
——被问及为何要攀登它
who was to die on Mount Everest,
was asked why did he want to climb it.

242
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,830
他说 “因为山就在那里 ”
He said, "Because it is there."

243
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,376
太空就在那里
Well, space is there,

244
00:17:15,460 --> 00:17:19,476
我们要去攀登它 月球和行星就在那里
and we're going to climb it,
and the moon and the planets are there,

245
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,356
对知识与和平的新希望也在那里
and new hopes for knowledge
and peace are there.

246
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,916
因此 当我们扬帆起航
我们祈求上帝赐福于这项最艰险、
And, therefore, as we set sail we ask
God's blessing on the most hazardous

247
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,796
最危险、也是人类
有史以来最伟大的冒险
and dangerous and greatest adventure
on which man has ever embarked.

248
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,090
谢谢大家
Thank you.
