美国经典英文演讲 Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation (下)

　　Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation (下)

　　Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

　　As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.

　　No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

　　I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

　　Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
