来源: Independence Day (Movie)

Good morning. Good morning.

In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind.

Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today.

We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interest.

Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom.

Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice, 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive.' Today we celebrate our independence day!"

《独立日》(Independence Day)，投入产出比极高的一部美国科幻片，以7500万美元的投入赚取了8.17亿美元票房。该片由比尔·普尔曼、威尔·史密斯等主演，获奥斯卡金像奖、土星奖等奖项。

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;

it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;

it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;

it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the etite for adventure over the love of ease.

This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.

Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
