张靓颖英文歌曲欣赏

高中英语 版本 （三 ）

　　However mean your life is, meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means. which should be more disreputable. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends, Turn the old, return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

　　不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

Laughing Matter-Woman Resorts to Comedy to Confront the Trauma of Cancer (2002)

　　To cope with the trauma of chemotherapy, Bonnie Southcott has posed for a series of humorous cards and calendars.

Cancer is no laughing matter, but a woman suffering through chemotherapy is rethinking that.

　　Bonnie Southcott, of Ferndale, Wash., is teaching people that even though cancer isn't fun, it can be funny.

　　She was seven months pregnant with her second child Nate when doctors found the tumor.

　　"In a flash moment, I went from being a happy expectant mother, to being someone afraid for her life," she told reporters.

　　Minutes after doctors delivered Nate by emergency C-section, Southcott went into surgery. The diagnosis was ovarian cancer.

　　Suddenly tears and chemotherapy overtook her life. But the lowest moment came after she lost all her hair and a free wig arrived.

　　She tried it on as her older son Kyler watched.

　　"I thought I can cry about this bad wig and he'll remember it, or I can laugh about it and he will remember that," Southcott said.

　　That was when she started laughing a lot, and found it was the perfect medicine.

　　"I spent a lot time looking for anything humor based for cancer patients," she said. "And I'll tell you what: There isn't much out there."

　　Using herself as a bald model, Bonnie started her own line of greeting cards and a calendar. Each pose pokes fun at the tribulations of chemo.

　　"We desperately need to laugh," she said. "It's vital to our joy."

　　Even though Southcott's ovarian cancer is in remission, the diagnosis is no laughing matter - a 25-percent chance she will live for another two-years.

　　She plans to appreciate every moment of motherhood. And she plans to laugh.

　　伴随癌症的从来都不会是欢笑，但是一位正在因患癌症而接受化疗的妇女却重新审视了癌症--这个可怕的病魔。

美国华盛顿州芬代尔的癌症女患者邦尼?索恩科特正在向人们传播这样的理念：尽管癌症不会是什么乐趣，但是我们可以让它变得充满乐趣。

　　当她从医生那里得知自己身患癌症这个噩耗的时候，她的第二个孩子纳特即将出世，她当时已经有了七个月的身孕。

　　索恩科特告诉记者说："在那一瞬间，我从一个快乐的准妈妈变成了一个时刻要担心自己生命的人。"

　　就在索恩科特剖腹产生下纳特短短几分钟后，她又被推进了外科手术室。诊断结果她患的是卵巢癌。

　　顷刻之间，泪水和化疗淹没了她的生活。在满头秀发完全脱落并得到了一副免费假发的时候，她感到自己走到了人生的最低谷。

　　在大儿子凯勒的注视下，她试戴了她的假发。

　　索恩科特说："我想如果我因为这顶糟糕的假发痛哭他就能记住这种东西，或者我还可以对着它大笑，这样他也能记住它。"

　　于是索恩科特开始哈哈大笑，并且发现这居然是最有效的药物。

她说："我花了很多时间在癌症患者身上搜寻各种幽默元素。但是我不得不告诉你：这样的幽默实在太少了。"

　　邦尼以自己的秃头形象为模特，开始设计问候卡片，此外还有一种日历。尽管化疗时要经历种种苦痛，但是卡片上她的每个姿势都十分有趣，她用自己的表达方式传播欢笑。

　　她说："我们非常需要欢笑。我们需要欢笑带来的快乐。"

　　虽然索恩科特的卵巢癌病情正在好转，但是目前的诊断结果仍旧不容乐观--她的生命只剩下两年的时间，而且这种几率也只有25％。

　　索恩科特准备要细细品味作母亲的点滴时刻。此外，她准备要笑对人生。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　颐和园

　　Situated in the western outskirts of Haidian District, the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved, it was designated, in 1960 by the State Council, as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998, it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

　　Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called "Qingyi Garden" (Garden of Clear Ripples), it was know as one of the famous "three hills and five gardens" (Longevity Hill, Jade Spring Mountain, and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples, Garden of Everlasting Spring, Garden of Perfection and Brightness, Garden of Tranquility and Brightness, and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing, it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888, Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit, changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there, dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900, it suffered again, being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution, it was opened to the public.

　　Composed mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, The Summer Palace occupies an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres), three quarters of which is water. Guided by nature, artists designed the gardens exquisitely so that visitors would see marvelous views and be amazed by perfect examples of refined craftwork using the finest materials.

　　Centered on the Tower of Buddhist Incense (Foxiangge) the Summer Palace consists of over 3,000 structures including pavilions, towers, bridges, and corridors. The Summer Palace can be divided into four parts: the court area, front-hill area, front-lake area, and rear-hill and back-lake area.

Front-Hill Area: this area is the most magnificent area in the Summer Palace with the most constructions. Its layout is quite distinctive because of the central axis from the yard of Kunming Lake to the hilltop, on which important buildings are positioned including Gate of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Moral Glory, Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Hall of the Sea of Wisdom, etc.

　　Rear-Hill and Back-Lake Area: although the constructions are fewer here, it has a unique landscape, with dense green trees, and winding paths. Visitors can feel a rare tranquility, and elegance. This area includes scenic spots such as Garden of Harmonious Interest and Suzhou Market Street.

　　Court Area: this is where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu met officials, conducted state affairs and rested. Entering the East Palace Gate, visitors may see the main palace buildings: the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity served as the office of the Emperor, the Hall of Jade Ripples where Guangxu lived, the Hall of Joyful Longevity, Cixi's residence, the Hall of Virtue and Harmony where Cixi was entertained.

　　Front Lake Area: covering a larger part of the Summer Palace, opens up the vista of the lake. A breeze fluttering, waves gleam and willows kiss the ripples of the vast water. In this comfortable area there are the Eastern and Western Banks, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, Nanhu Island, and so on. On the western bank float six distinct bridges amongst which the Jade-Belt Bridge is the most beautiful.

　　颐和园是我国现存最完好、规模最宏大的古代园林。位于北京市海淀区境内，距天安门20余公里，占地290公顷。

　　颐和园原为封建帝王的行宫和花园，远在金贞元元年 （1153年）即在这里修建"西山八院"之一的"金山行宫"。明弘治七年（1494年）修建了园静寺，后皇室在此建成好山园。1664年清廷定都北京后，又将好山园更名为"瓮山行宫"。清乾隆年间，经过15年的修建工程，将该园改名为"清漪圆"。此时的清漪园，北自文昌阁至西宫门筑有围墙，东、南、西三面以昆明湖水为屏障，园内修建了许多亭台楼阁，桥廊斋榭，山清水秀，富丽堂皇。咸丰十年（1860年），英法联军疯狂抢劫并焚烧了园内大部分建筑，除宝云阁（俗称"铜亭"）智慧海、多宝 琉璃塔幸存外，珍宝被洗劫一空，建筑夷为一片废墟。光绪十四年（1888年）慈待太后挪用海军经费3000万两白银，在清漪园的废墟上兴建起颐和园。光绪二十六年（1900年）颐和园又遭八国联军的野蛮破坏，后慈禧又动用巨款重新修复。数百年来，这里一直是封建帝王、皇室的享乐之地，解放辟为公园。1961年国务院公布颐和园为全国重点文物保护单位。

　　颐和园包括万寿山、昆明湖两大部分，园内山水秀美，建筑宏伟。全园有各式建筑3000余间，园内布局可分为政治、生活、游览三个区域。政治活动区，以仁寿段为中心，是过去慈禧太后和光绪皇帝办理朝事、会见朝臣、使节的地方。生活居住区，以玉澜堂、宜芸馆、乐寿堂为主体，是慈禧、光绪及后妃居住之地。风景游览区，以万寿山前山、后山、后湖、昆明湖为主， 是全园的主要组成部分。

　　在世界古典园林中享有盛誉的颐和园，布局和谐，浑然一体。在高60米的万寿山前山的中央，纵向自低而高排列着排 云门、排云股、德辉殿、佛香阁、智慧海等一组建筑，依山而立， 步步高升，气派宏伟。以高大的佛香阁为主体，形成了全园的中心线。沿昆明湖北岸横向而建的长廊，长728米，共273间， 像一条彩带横跨于万寿山前，连结着东面前山建筑群。长廊中有精美柁画 14000多幅，素有"画廊"之美称。位于颐和园东北角，万寿山东麓的谐趣园，具有浓重的江南园林特色，被誉为 "园中之园"。

　　占全园总面积四分之三的昆明湖，湖水清澈碧绿，景色宜人。在广阔的湖面上，有三个小岛点缀，其主要景物是西堤、西堤六桥、东堤、南湖岛、十七孔桥等。湖岸建有廓如亭、知春亭、凤凰墩等秀美建筑，其中位于湖西北岸的清晏舫（石访）中西合璧，精巧华丽，是园中著名的水上建筑。后山后湖，林茂竹青，景色幽雅，到处是松林曲径，小桥流水，风格与前山迥然不同。山脚下的苏州河，曲折蜿蜒，时狭时阔，颇具江南特色。在岸边的树丛中建有多宝琉璃塔。后山还有一座仿西藏建筑--香岩宗印之阁，造型奇特。苏州街原为宫内的民间买卖街，现已修复并向游人开放。拥山抱水，绚丽多姿的颐和园，体现了我国造园艺术的高超水平。

　　　　　　　　　　　　 Fighting infection effectively

　　Leading naturopath shows how to su percharge your immune system and fight infections with out relying on antibi otics．

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 抗感染的良方

　 自然疗法专家告诉你如何抛开抗生素、利用自身的免疫系统来治疗感染。

　　There are natural ways to boost your body's defence system．In the right circumstances antibiotics are invaluable, but we have to use them selectively．

　　As a result of overusing them, we are gradually seeing the rise of drug－resistant bacteria－－superbugs that are a real danger to our health．Even when antibiotics are used against the "bad" bacteria that infect us, "friendly" bacteria, which we need for optimum health, are also damaged or killed．The solution is to help yourself．

　　 我们可以借助一些自然疗法来增强机体的免疫力。在对症的情况下，抗生素的确是不可多得的灵丹妙药，但我们需要加以选择地使用。

　 滥用抗生素造成的后果是现在具有抗药性的病菌层出不穷，这些超级病菌是真正的健康杀手。而在使用抗生素来消灭影响我们身体健康的"有害"细菌时，健康身体所必需的"有益"细菌也受到伤害或被杀死。依靠自身的抵抗力是解决这一难题的办法。

　 The key is to help strengthen your immune system and modify symptoms without taking them away because they are part of the recovery process．There are natural ways of doing this very effectively, for adults and children．

　 Sore throat This tells you an infection is on its way．It could be viral or bacterial, but the first course of action is to take zinc lozenges（from chemists and health－food shops）．

　 问题的关键在于增强你的免疫力，而不是通过简单地消除症状来缓解病情，因为这些症状是痊愈过程的必然环节。对此，有些自然疗法极具功效，且老少咸宜。

　 咽喉肿痛 咽喉肿痛是感染发生的信号。无论是病毒性感染还是细菌引起的感染，当务之急是服用几粒锌片儿（可以在药房和保健食品店购买）。

　　If your lymph glands are swollen, showing your waste disposal mechanism is blocked, lymphatic drainage massage will help．You should also try to avoid breathing through your mouth rather than your nose because this means not only is the air not filtered, but you are also drying up the mucous membrane, part of your body's defence mechanism．

　淋巴结发炎说明机体的废物处理机制受到阻塞。这时可以采用淋巴排毒按摩疗法。同时还应尽量避免以口代鼻呼吸，因为以口呼吸时，不仅空气未能得到过滤，人体内防御系统的一部分──黏膜也无法保持湿润。

　　Enhance your immune function by taking care over your diet．High levels of refined carbohydrates, high－fat foods, alcohol and caffeine all affect efficiency．A good multivitamin and mineral supplement will act as insurance against any deficiency but probiotics also help．The herb extract echinacea has immune－enhancing properties．Gargling with one or two drops of tea tree oil mixed with water helps；it is a powerful anti－fungal, anti－bacterial, an ti－viral agent．

　　要提高免疫力还需注意饮食。过多地摄取精制碳水化合物、高脂肪食品、酒精和咖啡因都会使你的免疫力大打折扣。适当补充多种维生素和矿物质可以避免免疫力的下降, 益生菌制品也有此功效。松果菊属草药提取物也可以提高免疫力。把一两滴茶树油溶于水中用来漱口也是良方；茶树油具有抗真菌、抗细菌和抗病毒的功能。

　　Toothache If you have an infected tooth, you need to take antibiotics．Here, the alternative is not about what to do instead of taking them, it is about what to do as well as taking antibiotics and how to protect yourself after you've finished the course．The key is to take a supplement of the two main probiotics we need for the intestine, lacto－bacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium bifidum．Both help to detoxify the bowel, manufacture B vitamins and keep yeasts and undesirable bacteria in check, but are damaged by antibiotics．

　　牙痛 牙齿发炎确实需要服用抗生素。对此, 自然疗法也并不是抛开抗生素, 而是在服用抗生素的同时以及疗程过后采取一些自我保护措施。主要是补充肠道所需的两种有益菌群：嗜酸乳酸杆菌和两歧双歧杆菌。它们有助于排除肠道内的毒素, 制造维生素B, 并且能够有效控制酵母菌和不受欢迎的细菌的生长。然而抗生素会使它们遭到破坏。

　　Ear infection A short fast will help．Stick to water and juice for the first 24 or 36 hours and because the body is not distracted by the digestive process, you will fight the infection more efficiently．Hot packs and cold compresses ease symptoms．Both garlic and echinacea are antiviral and antibacterial and liquorice is a good immune system enhancer．Studies show treating otitis with antibiotics leads to more ear problems, more frequently．The best option is usually no antibiotics at all, except in the case of acute otitis．Instead, after visiting the doctor, concentrate on easing your child's symptoms while their immune system fights the infection on its own．Along with painkillers and medical decongestants, Lymphatic drainage massage, cold compresses and hot packs are all soothing and will ease the pain．

　　耳部炎症 短期的禁食会有疗效。在最初的２４小时或３６小时内只饮用水或果汁, 由于机体不会分散过多的精力用来消化, 治疗感染的效果就会提高。热敷与冷敷都可以缓解症状。大蒜和松果菊属植物都是既抗病毒又抗细菌, 甘草也具有极佳的增强免疫的功能。研究表明用抗生素治疗中耳炎可以导致更多、更频繁的耳部疾病。除急性中耳炎之外, 治疗耳部炎症的最佳选择往往是干脆不用抗生素。在看过医生后, 应让孩子的免疫系统自己战胜感染, 同时尽可能地帮他缓解病痛。除了使用止痛剂和减充血剂, 淋巴排毒按摩、冷敷和热敷都有镇痛功能。

　　Sinus trouble Depending on the severity of the problem, you may or may not need antibiotics．If you don't, a short fast will help, along with steam inhalations, which involve adding a couple of drops of tea tree oil to hot water．If you do need antibiotics, follow them with probiotics．

　　Stomach ulcer　?More than 70 percent of duodenal and stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterium called helicobacter pylori. The standard treatment is antibiotics but，worryingly，in many patients H. pylori has now become resistant to antibiotics.

　　鼻窦炎 是否需要抗生素治疗取决于炎症的轻重。如果不需要, 可以尝试短期的禁食和雾化疗法。采取雾化疗法时需要在热水中加入几滴茶树油。如果需要服用抗生素的话, 同时服用一些益生菌制品。

　　胃溃疡有70%以上的十二指肠溃疡和胃溃疡是由幽门螺杆菌引起的。标准的疗法是使用抗生素，但令人担忧的是许多病人体内的幽门螺杆菌已经对抗生素产生了抗药性。

　　All kinds of alternative approaches have been tried，but by far the most successful is an ancient Greek remedy called mastic. This is a natural chewing gum from the sap of the mastic tree that grows wild in Greece. The ancient Greeks chewed this to deal with stomach ulcers. Recent studies show between one and two grams of mastic，taken daily as a supplement for just a few weeks，heals ulcers and completely deactivates H. pylori in almost three-quarters of people with ulcers--even when the bacterium was resistant to antibiotics.

　　 人们已尝试了所有可能的替代性治疗方法，但迄今为止最见效的是一种名叫乳香的古希腊药物。它是希腊野生的乳香黄连木的汁液中所产的天然胶状物。古希腊人就嚼食它来治疗胃溃疡。最近的研究表明，溃疡病人在坚持每天服用一至两克乳香，持续几周之后，有3/4的溃疡患者可以愈合，幽门螺杆菌也完全丧失活力，甚至对那些对抗生素有抗药性的细菌也有效。

　　Bladder infection One of the best ways to treat a bladder infection such as cystitis is with cranberry concentrate. It doesn't kill bacteria but it prevents them sticking to the walls of the bladder. If you also drink lots of water you can flush out the infection.

　　膀胱感染 越橘浓缩物是治疗膀胱炎等疾病的一种灵丹妙药。它虽然不能杀菌，但可以阻止细菌聚积在膀胱壁上。如果你大量饮水，就可以将其排出体外。　?

　　Infected wound　?There are many studies looking at the anti-fungal，anti-bacterial effect of honey，or even sugar，on infected wounds. Both are extremely effective and are often used in hospitals.

　　伤口感染 目前人们有关蜂蜜甚至糖对感染伤口的抗真菌 、抗细菌功效进行了大量研究。两者都有很好的疗效，医院也经常使用。

　　Sugar is sterile. You can keep it for a hundred years and nothing will grow on it. To make a honey or sugar compress，sprinkle it on to the wound，cover with a bandage and change daily.

　　糖具有抗菌作用。它可以贮存１００年而不发生任何霉变。如果用糖或蜂蜜来敷伤口，要把它洒在伤处，用绷带覆盖并需每日更换。

　　I have done it again.

　　One year in every ten

　　I manage it--

　　A sort of walking miracle， my skin

　　Bright as a Nazi lampshade，

　　My right foot

　　A paperweight，

　　My face a featureless， fine

　　Jew linen.

　　Peel off the napkin

　　O my enemy.

　　Do I terrify？--

　　The nose， the eye pits， the full set of teeth？

　　The sour breath

　　Will vanish in a day.

　　Soon， soon the flesh

　　The grave cave ate will be

　　At home on me

　　And I a smiling woman.

　　I am only thirty.

　　And like the cat I have nine times to die.

　　This is Number Three.

　　What a trash

　　To annihilate each decade.

　　What a million filaments.

　　The peanut-crunching crowd

　　Shoves in to see

　　Them unwrap me hand and foot--

　　The big strip tease.

　　Gentlemen， ladies

　　These are my hands

　　My knees.

　　I may be skin and bone，

　　Nevertheless， I am the same， identical woman.

　　The first time it happened I was ten.

　　It was an accident.

　　The second time I meant

　　To last it out and not come back at all.

　　I rocked shut As a seashell.

　　They had to call and call

　　And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.

　　Dying Is an art， like everything else.

　　I do it exceptionally well.

　　I do it so it feels like hell.

　　I do it so it feels real.

　　I guess you could say I've a call.

　　It's easy enough to do it in a cell.

　　It's easy enough to do it and stay put.

　　It's the theatrical Comeback in broad day To the same place， the same face， the same brute Amused shout：

　　'A miracle！' That knocks me out.

　　There is a charge For the eyeing of my scars， there is a charge For the hearing of my heart It really goes.

　　And there is a charge， a very large charge For a word or a touch Or a bit of blood Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.

　　So， so， Herr Doktor.

　　So， Herr Enemy.

　　I am your opus，

　　I am your valuable，

　　The pure gold baby

　　That melts to a shriek.

　　I turn and burn.

　　Do not think I underestimate your great concern.

　　Ash， ash You poke and stir.

　　Flesh， bone， there is nothing there

　　A cake of soap，

　　A wedding ring，

　　A gold filling.

　　Herr God， Herr Lucifer Beware Beware.

April 7, 2007

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This week, people around the world celebrate Passover and Easter. These holy days remind us of the presence of a loving God who delivers His people from oppression, and offers a love more powerful than death. We take joy in spending this special time with family and friends, and we give thanks for the many blessings in our lives.

One of our greatest blessings as Americans is that we have brave citizens who step forward to defend us. Every man or woman who wears our Nation's uniform is a volunteer, a patriot who has made the noble decision to serve a cause larger than self. This weekend, many of our service men and women are celebrating the holidays far from home. They are separated from their families by great distances, but they are always close in our thoughts. And this Passover and Easter, I ask you to keep them in your prayersOur men and women in uniform deserve the gratitude of every American. And from their elected leaders, they deserve something more: the funds, resources, and equipment they need to do their jobs.

Sixty-one days have passed since I sent Congress an emergency war spending bill to provide the funds our troops urgently need. But instead of approving that vital funding, Democrats in Congress have spent the past 61 days working to pass legislation that would substitute the judgment of politicians in Washington for the judgment of our generals in the field.

In both the House and Senate, Democratic majorities have passed bills that would impose restrictions on our military commanders, set an arbitrary date for withdrawal from Iraq, and fund domestic spending that has nothing to do with the war. The Democrats who passed these bills know that I will veto either version if it reaches my desk, and they know my veto will be sustained. Yet they continue to pursue the legislation. And now the process is on hold for two weeks, until the full Congress returns to session.

I recognize that Democrats are trying to show their current opposition to the war in Iraq. They see the emergency war spending bill as a chance to make that statement. Yet for our men and women in uniform, this emergency war spending bill is not a political statement, it is a source of critical funding that has a direct impact on their daily lives.

When Congress does not fund our troops on the front lines, our military is forced to make cuts in other areas to cover the shortfall. Military leaders have warned Congress about this problem. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Pete Pace, recently testified that if Congress fails to pass a bill I can sign by mid-April, the Army will be forced to consider cutting back on training, equipment repair, and quality of life initiatives for our Guard and Reserve forces. In a letter to Congress, Army Chief of Staff Pete Schoomaker put it this way: "Without approval of the supplemental funds in April, we will be forced to take increasingly draconian measures which will impact Army readiness and impose hardships on our soldiers and their families."

If Congress fails to pass a bill I can sign by mid-May, the problems grow even more acute. The Army will be forced to consider slowing or even freezing funding for depots where pivotal equipment is repaired, delaying or curtailing the training of some active duty forces, and delaying the formation of new brigade combat teams. The bottom line is that Congress's failure to fund our troops will mean that some of our military families could wait longer for their loved ones to return from the front lines. And others could see their loved ones headed back to war sooner than they need to. That is unacceptable to me, and I believe it is unacceptable to the American people.

The full Congress will not be back from spring vacation until the week of April 16th. That means the soonest the House and Senate could get a bill to my desk will be sometime late this month, after the adverse consequences for our troops and their families have already begun. For our troops, the clock is ticking. If the Democrats continue to insist on making a political statement, they should send me their bill as soon as possible. I will veto it, and then Congress can go to work on a good bill that gives our troops the funds they need, without strings and without further delay.

We have our differences in Washington, D.C., but our troops should not be caught in the middle. All who serve in elected office have a solemn responsibility to provide for our men and women in uniform. We need to put partisan politics aside, and do our duty to those who defend us.

Thank you for listening.

END
