溫斯頓·邱吉爾簡(jiǎn)介

溫斯頓·倫納德·斯賓塞·丘吉爾，政治家、畫家、演說(shuō)家、作家、記者，1953年諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得主（獲獎(jiǎng)作品《不需要的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)》），曾于1940－1945年及1951－1955年期間兩度任英國(guó)首相，被認(rèn)為是20世紀(jì)最重要的政治領(lǐng)袖之一，帶領(lǐng)英國(guó)獲得第二次世界大戰(zhàn)的勝利。據(jù)傳為歷史上掌握英語(yǔ)單詞詞匯量最多的人之一（十二萬(wàn)多）。被美國(guó)雜志《展示》列為近百年來(lái)世界最有說(shuō)服力的八大演說(shuō)家之一。2002年，BBC舉行了一個(gè)名為“最偉大的100名英國(guó)人”的調(diào)查，結(jié)果丘吉爾獲選為有史以來(lái)最偉大的英國(guó)人。

Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politician who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. He is the only British Prime Minister in history to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was also the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States.

Churchill was born into an aristocratic family as the grandson of the 7th Duke of Marlborough. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jennie Jerome, was an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, The Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns.

丘吉爾名言：

Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
民主是最壞的政府形式——除了其他所有不斷地被試驗(yàn)過(guò)的政府形式之外。

Ingratitude towards great men is the mark of a strong people.
對(duì)他們的偉大人物忘恩負(fù)義，是偉大民族的標(biāo)志。

Young gentlemen, Never give up! Never give up! Never! Never! Never! Never!
少年人哪，永不要放棄！永不要放棄！永不！永不！永不！永遠(yuǎn)都不要放棄！

The price of greatness is responsibility.
偉大的代價(jià)就是責(zé)任。

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
一個(gè)人絕對(duì)不可在遇到危險(xiǎn)的威脅時(shí)，背過(guò)身去試圖逃避。若是這樣做，只會(huì)使危險(xiǎn)加倍。但是如果立即面對(duì)它毫不退縮，危險(xiǎn)便會(huì)減半。

Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
勇氣是人類最重要的一種特質(zhì)，倘若有了勇氣，人類其他的特質(zhì)自然也就具備了。

Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.

成功并不是終點(diǎn)，失敗并不是終結(jié)，只有勇氣才是永恒。
