晨读英语美文100篇六级We Walk on the Moon

[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:02.00]Passage 94 We Walk on the Moon [00:08.23]Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with a great sense of pride as an American [00:15.34]and with humility as a human being that I say to you today [00:21.22]what no men have been privileged to say before: “We walk on the moon.” [00:28.55]But the footprints at Tranquility Base belong to more than the crew of Apollo Ⅱ. [00:35.01]They were put there by hundreds of thousands of people across this country, [00:41.57]people in the government, industry and universities, [00:46.71]the teams and crews that preceded us, all who strived throughout the years with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. [00:56.23]Those footprints belong to the American people and you, the representatives, [01:03.13]who accept and support, inevitable challenge of the moon. [01:08.05]And, since we came in peace for all mankind those footprints belong also to all people of the world. [01:16.47]As the moon shines impartially on all those looking up from our spinning earth [01:23.47]so do we hope the benefits of space exploration will be spread equally [01:30.59]with a harmonizing influence to all mankind. [01:34.63]Scientific exploration implies investigating the unknown. [01:41.09]The result can never be wholly anticipated. [01:46.01]Charles Lindberg said, “Scientific accomplishment is a path, not an end; [01:53.24]a path leading to and disappearing in mystery.” [01:58.38]Our steps in space have been a symbol of this country's way of life [02:04.74]as we open our doors and windows to the world to view our successes and failures [02:11.51]and as we share with all nations our discovery. [02:15.55]The Saturn, Columbia, and Eagle and the Extravehicular Mobility Unit have proved to Neil, [02:24.64]Mike and me that this nation can produce equipment of the highest quality and dependability. [02:32.84]This should give all of us hope and inspiration to overcome some of the more difficult problems here on earth. [02:41.82]The Apollo lesson is that national goals can be met where there is a strong enough will to do so. [02:50.24]The first step on the moon was a step toward our sister planets and ultimately toward the stars. [02:58.78]“A small step for a man,” was a statement of a fact, [03:04.14]“a giant leap for mankind,” is a hope for future. [03:08.40]What this country does with the lessons of Apollo apply to domestic problems, [03:15.51]and what we do in further space exploration programs will determine [03:21.53]just how giant a leap we have taken. [03:24.92]Thank you.
