名人励志英语演讲 第35期:为理想我愿献出生命(9)

 　　Today，I wish to report to you that my talks with the government have been aimed at normalizing the political situation in the country. We have not as yet begun discussing the basic demands of the struggle. I wish to stress that I myself have at no time entered into negotiations¹ about the future of our country, except to insist on a meeting between the ANC and the government.

　　今天，我希望能向大家通报：我同政府进行的一些列会谈，其目的一直是使我国的政治局势正常化。迄今为止我们还没有开始讨论本次斗争的基本要求。我愿意强调一下，就我国的未来前途，我除了坚持要求在非国大和政府之间进行磋商以外，本人决不会介入和政府的谈判。

　　Mr. De Klerk the has gone further than any other Nationalist President in taking real steps to normalize the situation. However, there are further steps as outlined in the Harare Declaration² that have to be met before negotiations on the basic demands of our people can begin.

　　在采取切实可行的措施使局势正常化方面，德·克勒克先生比以往任何一位民族主义总统走得都远。但是就如同《哈拉雷宣言》规划的那样，在就我们人民的基本需要展开谈判之前，我们还有更多措施需要实施。
