英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典美文誦讀100篇：028.courage

[00:02.41]028. Courage [00:11.45]The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; [00:18.57]but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. [00:25.54]A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, [00:30.34]in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality. [00:39.81]To be courageous ... requires no exceptional qualifications, [00:45.03]no magic formula, no special combination of time, place and circumstance. [00:51.73]It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. [00:57.99]Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage. [01:04.57]In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, [01:08.88]whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience - the loss of his friends, [01:15.87]his fortune, his contentment, [01:18.74]even the esteem of his fellow men - each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. [01:27.25]The stories of past courage can define that ingredient - they can teach, they can offer hope, [01:34.87]they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. [01:41.03]For this each man must look into his own soul.
