悬念式英语演讲开场欣赏A hundred ears ago toda a man died。 He died immortal。 He departed laden ith ears, laden ith orks, laden ith the most illustrious and the most fearful or responsibilities, the responsibilit of the human onsiene informed and retifies。 He ent ursed and blessed, ursed b the past, blessed b the future; and these are to super forms of glor。 On the deathbed he had, on the one hand, the alaim of ontemporaries and of posterit; on the other, that triumph of hooting and of hating hih the impl*ble past bestos on those ho have bated it。 He as more than a man as; he as an age。 He had exerised funtions and fulfilled a mission。 He had been evidentl hosen for the ork, hih he had done b the Supreme Will, hih manifests itself as visibl in the las of destin as in the las of nature。 The eight-four ears, hih this man lived, span the interval beteen the monarh at its apogee and the Revolution at its dan。 Whene as born, Luis *IV still reigned; hen he died, Louis of *VI alread ore ron; so that his radle sa the last ras of the great throne, and his offin the first gleams from the great abss。 In the presene of this soiet, frivolous and dismal, Voltaire alone, having before his ees those united fores, the ourt, the nobilit, apital; that unonsious poer, the blind multitude 。一百年前的今天,一个人去世了。但他是永生的。他离开人世间时已是古稀之年,但其著作丰富。他肩负着的责任既是世界上最感光荣的,也是最令人畏惧的。他让人们懂得良知并教化他们。对于他的去世,有人诅咒,也有人祝福。旧时代的人们诅咒他,而只有新时代的人才祝福他。无论诅咒也罢,祝福也罢,这两者对于他都是光荣和至高无上的。他临终时,受到了当代人和他们后代的美,但另一方面,像许多同旧时代战斗过的人一样,他也受到了对他恨之入骨的旧时代的高声大骂。他不仅是他一个人,而且是一个时代。他曾尽责尽职,完成了一项使命。显然是天意助他完成这一项大事的。命运法则和自然法则都清楚地显示了上天的这个旨意CB法则和住这位伟人所生活的八十四年,从专制统治的鼎盛时期一直延续到革命的萌芽阶段。他诞生之际,路易十四仍大权在握;他去世时,路易十六已戴上皇冠。因此,王朝鼎盛时期的余辉照耀过他的摇篮,从那深渊里透出最初的光芒映照着他的灵柩。伏尔泰一个人,在这个无聊惨淡的时代,只身面对着宫廷、贵族和资本家的联合力量,面对着那群毫无觉醒意识的暴力、盲目的民众。
