青年支持肯尼迪 "胸针

 

约翰-肯尼迪在纪念体育馆发表的就职演说中，正面回应了人们对他的天主教信仰的担忧。

"他开始说："我充分意识到，民主党通过提名我的信仰者，承担了许多人认为是新的和危险的风险--至少是自1928年以来的新风险。

他的提名反映了代表们对选民公平性的信任，他接着说。

"我希望，考虑到这个国家面临的真正关键问题，没有一个美国人会仅仅因为我的宗教信仰而投票给我或反对我，从而浪费他的选举权。

这是不相关的。"

In his acceptance speech at the Memorial Coliseum, John Kennedy tackled concerns about his Catholicism head-on. “I am fully aware of the fact that the Democratic Party, by nominating someone of my faith, has taken on what many regard as a new and hazardous risk—new, at least, since 1928,” he began. His nomination reflected the delegates’ trust in the fairness of voters, he went on. “I hope that no American, considering the really critical issues facing this country, will waste his franchise by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant.”

 

他的讲话最令人难忘的是他对他所谓的 "新领域 "的标志性呼吁。

"他说："但我所说的新领域不是一套承诺，而是一套挑战。

"它总结的不是我打算向美国人民提供什么，而是我打算向他们提出什么要求。

"

What his address is most remembered for was his signature call for what he called a New Frontier. “But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises—it is a set of challenges,” he said. “It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.”

 

第二天晚上，作为一种特殊的待遇，她的父母让南希选择一家餐厅吃饭。

她选择了比佛利山庄的罗曼诺夫餐厅，这是好莱坞老牌劲旅的最爱。

当服务员拿来菜单时，她父亲脸色发白。

"哇，看看这些价格，"他抗议说。

"你是怎么找到这个地方的？我们为什么在这里？" 他的女儿辩解地回答说："嗯，这里是好莱坞，这里要花很多钱。

The next night, as a special treat, her parents let Nancy choose a restaurant for dinner. She picked Romanoff’s in Beverly Hills, a favorite of Hollywood’s old guard. When the waiter brought the menus, her father blanched. “Wow, look at these prices,” he protested. “How did you ever find this place? Why are we here?” His daughter replied, defensively, “Well, this is Hollywood and it costs a lot of money here.”

 

然后，突然间，一切都被原谅了。

"门开了，约翰-F-肯尼迪和他的随行人员走了进来，突然间这个地方就完美了，"佩洛西回忆说。

"他直接走到桌前。

'市长先生，你好吗？谢谢你所做的一切帮助和所有其他的事情"。

她很高兴她戴着她的 "青年支持肯尼迪 "胸针。

还有那份昂贵的菜单？在肯尼迪的问候下，她的父亲不再介意了。

她说："价格似乎融化了，"她说。

Then, suddenly, all was forgiven. “The door opens and in walks John F. Kennedy and his entourage, and all of a sudden this place is perfect,” Pelosi recalled. “He came right over to the table. ‘Mr. Mayor, how are you? Thanks for all you’re doing to help and all the rest.’” She was glad she was wearing her “Youth for Kennedy” pin. And the pricey menu? After JFK’s greeting, her father no longer minded. “The prices just seemed to melt,” she said.

 

第二年1月在华盛顿，她在严寒中参加了肯尼迪的就职典礼，地面上有8英寸的雪。

In Washington the next January, she attended Kennedy’s inauguration in the freezing cold, eight inches of snow covering the ground.
