英文演讲——We Are All Fighters

We Are All Fighters 《我们都是战士》 作者：Jessica Liu This is a war without smoke, and we are all fighters. To the fighters We are facing a dark time right now. Some of us are stuck at home Some are stuck far away from home Some of us have lost their jobs， Some have to shut down their businesses Some of us are cutting down the expenses Some can’t even pay their rent and bills Some can’t go back to school Some can’t get back to their jobs And some of us are still working day and night, no matter how exhausted 〔ɪɡˈzɔːstɪd〕they are Or how dangerous it is. Some of us have become infected. They are isolated [ˈaɪsəleɪtɪd] fromtheir families, their loved ones, and have to be alone in the wards, Or even worse, it is their children,their parents, or loved ones that are infected and they don’t even have a chance to say goodbye The virus [ˈvaɪrəs] is rampaging [ræmˈpeɪdʒɪŋ] The numbers are increasing The rumors [ˈruːməz] are spreading The fear is growing It seems that all of a sudden the whole country lost its vitality [vaɪˈtæləti] and prosperity. [prɑːˈsperəti] You are not the only one who is worrying, you are not the only one who is fearing, You are not the only one who is struggling We are all facing a dark time right now, Our whole country is facing a dark time right now. This is a war! It’s a war without guns, bombs, or smoke But it’s a war with virus, doubts, [daʊts] fears, rumors [ˈrumərz], and discrimination. But we shall all be fighters, my dear fellows! Not just the doctors, the nurses, the policemen and the scientists who should fight All of us should be the fighters in this war We shall fight against fear We shall fight against uncertainty We shall fight against doubts We shall fight against selfishness We shall fight against rumors We shall fight against discrimination This is going to be a fierce [fɪəs] and cruel war But don’t be afraid, We’re going to win this war together in the end! Our people may get sick, our city may get sick, but we， as a brave nation will never ever get sick Because we have the spirit, history and determination [dɪˌtɜːmɪˈneɪʃn] to win. We’ve been on this planet for over 5000 years. We’ve witnessed [ˈwɪtnəst] much darker moments We’ve been though much crueler trials [ˈtraɪəlz] No matter it’s the war, , starvation, poverty [ˈpɒvəti] or natural disasters [dɪˈzæstərz] We’ve always survived [sərˈvaɪvd] and We’ve always stood back up on our feet We’ve always won in the end. And we will definitely [ˈdefɪnətli] win this time. We don’t know how long this will take, or what cost we have to pay, But there’s one thing we are 100% sure That is We are going to win this war in the end! Because that’s what we’ve been doing for the past 5000 years. And that’s what makes us the greatest nation ever It is only by going through dark times that we can separate the greatest from the great. 我们才能区分伟大和平庸 In each dark time, We’ve always fought together No matter how strong our enemy was Or how impossible it seemed to win We just kept fighting Because we are all fighters! When all of this is over, we’ll have another great and heroic [həˈroʊɪk] story to tell our children, our grandchildren and they will tell the next generations. [ˌdʒɛnəˈreɪʃənz] That’s how we’ll pass this great spirit on, and keep it alive forever!
