Hitler always said:"The bigger the lie,the more people will believe it." 希特勒常说：“谎言越是骇人听闻，质疑的声音就越小。”
Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed,lonely man who wanted attention and got it by killing a President,was only the first in a long line of patsies. Lee Harvey Oswald，一个孤僻的，为了出风头而行刺总统的疯子，只是那一长串替罪羊中的第一个。
In later years, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King...men whose commitment to change and peace,made them dangerous to men committed to war,would follow also killed by such lonely, crazed men. 几年以来，Bobby Kennedy，Martin Luther King。。。这些矢志于变革与和平的人，让战争贩子们感到碍手碍脚，因而也都先后死于这一类孤僻的疯子之手。
Men who remove all guilt by making murder a meaningless act of a loner. 将谋杀归咎为疯子的毫无意义的行为，旁人便心安理得。
We've all become Hamlet in our country, children of a slain father-leader whose killers still possess the throne. 我们都成了这个国家的哈姆雷特，父王被刺身亡而凶手却仍然大权在握。
The ghost of John F .Kennedy confronts us with the secret murder at the heart of the American Dream. John F .Kennedy的亡魂将一个暗杀阴谋摆在我们满怀美国梦的内心深处。
He forces on us the appalling questions： 他以一连串问题震骇着我们：
Of what is our Constitution made? 奠定我国宪法的基础是什么？
What is our citizenship more our lives worth? 我们的公民身份乃至我们的生命价值何在？
What is the future of a democracy where a President can be assassinated under conspicuously suspicious circumstances while the machinery of legal action scarcely trembles? 总统可以被离奇地刺杀，而司法机构对此却无动于衷，这样的民主将会走向何方？
How many more political murders disguised as heart attacks, suicides, cancers, drug overdoses? 还会有多少被掩饰成心脏病、自杀、癌症和吸毒过量的政治谋杀？
How many airplane and car crashes will occur before they are exposed for what they are? 还会有多少飞机和汽车将在真相大白之前失事？
"Treason doth never prosper!" wrote an English poet, What's the reason? 一位英国诗人写道：“叛逆从不曾成功！” 原因何在？
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason. 因为如果成功了，就没有人敢称之为叛逆。
The American public hasn't yet to see the Zapruder film, why? 美国公众至今看不到Zapruder影片，为什么？
The American public hasn't yet to see the real X-rays and photographs of the autopsy, why? 美国公众至今看不到真正的X光片和验尸照片，为什么？
There are hundreds of documents that could help prove this conspiracy, why have they been withheld or burned by the government? 数百份资料有助于证实这个阴谋，却通通被政府扣押或销毁，为什么？
Each time my office or you, the people, asked those questions, demanded crucial evidence, the answer from on high has always been"national security". 每当我的办公室或你们——民众——问到这些问题、需要关键性的证据时，官方的回答永远是：“国家安全”。
What kind of "national security" do we have when we have been robbed of our leaders? 如果连我们的领袖都不能保全，那么我们所拥有的是种什么样的“国家安全”？
What "national security" permits the removal of fundamental power from the hands of the American people and validates the ascendancy of invisible government in the United States? 在美国，什么“国家安全”准许了对美国民众基本权利的剥夺行径，什么“国家安全”认可了一个看不到的所谓“政府”的支配地位？
That kind of "national security", gentlemen of the jury, is when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like it, you call it what it is —— Fascism！ 当“国家安全”演化至斯，陪审员先生们，其实质就是——你们所谓的——法西斯主义！
I submit to you that what took place on November 22, 1963 was a coup d'etat. 我所要向你们提出的就是：1963年11月22日所发生的是一场政变。
Its most direct and tragic result was a reversal of President Kennedy's commitment to withdraw from Vietnam. 其最直接和悲剧性的后果就是改变了Kennedy所作出的从越南撤军的承诺。
The war is the biggest business in America worth $80 billion a year. 战争是美国最大的一桩生意，年花销达八百亿美元。
President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy that was planned in advance at the highest levels of our government and was carried out by fanatical and disciplined Cold Warriors in the Pentagon and CIA's covert operations apparatus, among them, Clay Shaw, here before you. Kennedy总统被政府最高层所策划的阴谋杀害，由来自国防部和中情局掩饰行动组的狂热的训练有素的冷血枪手付诸行动，其中，就包括你们面前的这位Clay Show。
It was a public execution and it was covered up by like-minded individuals in the Dallas Police Department, the Secret Service, the FBI, and the White House, all the way up to and including J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson——whom I consider accomplices after the fact. 这是一场公然执行的枪决，且为达拉斯警察局、秘密勤务局、联邦调查局和白宫中志同道合者们甚至上至J. Edgar Hoover以及我个人认为在既成事实后成其帮凶的Lyndon Johnson所掩盖。
The assassination reduced the President to a transient official. 暗杀使总统成为过渡官员。
His job, his assignment is a speaker as often as possible of this nation's desire for peace while he acts as a business agent in the Congress for the military and hardware manufacturers. 他的工作和任务就是在国会替军方及军火制造商做代理，同时尽可能高谈国家对和平的渴望。
Some people say I'm crazy, southern caricature seeking higher office. 有人说我疯了，一个南方小丑在捞政治本钱。
Well there is a simple way to determine if I am paranoid: let's ask the two men who have profited the most from the assassination——your former President Lyndon Baines Johnson and your new President Richard Nixon——to release 51 CIA documents pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby, or the secret CIA memo on Oswald's activities in Russia that was "destroyed" while being photocopied. 其实用一个简单的方法就可以判断是不是我居心叵测：请从暗杀得利最多的两位——前总统Lyndon Baines Johnson和现任总统Richard Nixon——公布与Lee Oswald和Jack Ruby有关的中情局51号档案，或“已销毁的”有关Oswald在俄活动的中情局机密备忘录的翻拍副本。
All these documents are yours, the peoples property, you pay for it！ 这些资料都是你们的，是民众的财产，你们纳了税的！
But because the government considers you as children who might be too disturbed or distressed to face this reality, or because you might possibly lynch those involved, you cannot see these documents for another 75 years. 但政府视你们为小孩子，难辨是非或者难抑悲痛因而不宜看到真相，或者因为担心有人会“妖言惑众”，所以你们不得不再等上75年才能看到这些资料。
I'm in my early 40's, so I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil by then, but I'm already telling my 8 year-old son to keep himself physically fit so that one glorious September morning in 2038 he can walk into the National Archives and find out what the CIA and the FBI knew. 我已年届四十，到那时我已不在人世，但是我已经告诫我八岁的儿子保持身体健康，这样，在2038年9月的某个明媚的早晨，他可以到国家档案馆看看当年中情局和联邦调查局究竟隐瞒了些什么。
They may even push it back then. It may become a generational affair, with questions passed down from father to son, mother to daughter. 或许届时他们会将时间再次延后，疑问由父母留给子女，变成代代相传的秘密。
But someday somewhere, someone may find out the damned truth！ 但终有一天，终有一处，终会有人查明这见鬼的真相！
We'd better, we'd better or we might just as well build ourselves another Government——like the Declaration of Independence says to——when the old one ain't work, just a little farther out West. 我们最好，我们最好或者说我们只好自己建立一个新的政府——正如《独立宣言》所告诉我们的——当旧的政府不能代表人民时，大不了再靠西一些.
An American naturalist wrote:"a patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government". 一位美国自然主义者写道：“爱国者要随时准备好为了保卫国家而与政府斗争！”
I'd hate to be in your shoes today. 我今天并非有意让你们不安。
You have a lot to think about. 需要你们考虑的很多。
You've seen much evidence that the American public hasn't never seen. 你们看到了大量美国公众看不到的证据。
Going back to when we were children, I think most of us in this courtroom thought that justice came into being automatically, that virtue was its own reward, the good would triumph over evil. 回想孩提时代，我相信在场的大多数人都曾认为正义的实现有如瓜熟蒂落般自然，善有善报，邪不压正。
But as we get older we know that this just isn't true. 然而长大后我们会发现恰恰相反。
Individual human beings have to create justice and this is not easy because truth often possess a threat to power and one often has to fight power in great risk to themselves. 每个人都必须去伸张正义，而这却并非易事，因为真相常常意味着来自权势的威胁，人们常常不得不冒着巨大的风险与权势做斗争。
People like S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers, Jean Hill, and Willie O'Keefe have all taken that risk, have all come forward. 正如S.M. Holland、Lee Bowers、Jean Hill、Willie O'Keefe，他们都是冒着这种风险前来出庭作证的。
I have here some $8000 in these letters sent to my office from all over the country——quarters、dimes、dollar bills from housewives、plumbers、car salesmen、teachers、imbeciles ... 这些信封里面有大约八千美元，是从全国各地寄到我办公室的，有两角五的、一角的、一元的，来自家庭主妇、水管工、汽车推销员、教师、残障人士。。。
These are the people who cannot afford to send money but do; these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in the hospitals, who see their kids go to Vietnam, why? 他们都是那些掏不出多少钱的，但他们却掏了，他们开出租车、在医院当护士、目送自己的儿子去越南的，为什么？
Because they care; because they want to know the truth; because they want their country back; because it still belongs to us; as long as the people have the guts to fight for what they believe in! 因为他们在意；因为他们渴望了解真相；因为他们仍然对自己的国家充满期待；因为只要民众还有为信仰而战的一腔热忱，它就仍旧是属于我们的.
The truth is the most important value we have because if the truth does not endure, if the government murders truth, if we cannot respect the hearts of these people, then this is not the country in which we were born in and is certainly not the country that I want to die in！ 真相是我们拥有的最重要的价值，因为如果它不再存续，如果政府蓄意隐瞒真相，如果我们不能敬重这些赤子之心，那么这里将不再是我们生于斯更不是我愿意葬于斯的那个国家！
Tennyson wrote:"Authority forgets a dying king". Tennyson写道：“当权者无暇顾及垂死的国王”。
And this was never more true than for John F. Kennedy whose murder was probably one of the most terrible moment in the history of our country. 对于John F. Kennedy来说没有比这句话更贴切的了，而他的遇刺亦恐怕是我国历史上最恐怖的一刻。
You the people——the jury system——sitting in judgement on Clay Shaw, represent the hope of humanity against government power. 在座的，出庭审判Clay Show的诸位，代表着陪审团制度，代表着对抗政府权势的人性的希望。
In discharging your duty, to bringing the first conviction in this house of cards against Clay Shaw. 履行你们的职责，宣告Clay Shaw的罪名成立，哪怕时局维艰。
"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." “不要问你的国家能为你做些什么，问问你能为你的国家做些什么”
Do not forget your dying king！ 别忘记你们垂死的国王！
Show the world, this is still a government of the people、for the people、and by the people. 让世人知道，这仍旧是一个“民有、民享、民治”的政府。
Nothing as long as you live will ever be more important. 在你们有生之年，没有什么比这更重要。

Just a bit farther out West. 某位美国自然主义者曾写道： An American naturalist wrote: “一个爱国者要随时准备 A patriot must always be ready 为了捍卫他的祖国而对抗政府。” to defend his country against its government. （面对众陪审员） 我不想面对你们所要作的决择。 I'd hate to be in your shoes today. 你们要深思熟虑 You have a lot to think about. 你们看过公众看不到的证据。 You've seen evidence the public hasn't seen. 回想我们年幼的时候， Going back to when we were children... 我猜测法庭上大部人都认为， ...I think most of us in this courtroom 正义是自然而来的、 thought justice came automatically. 好人自有好报、 That virtue was its own reward. 正定能胜邪。 That good triumphs over evil. 但越是长大成人就越是知道事实并非如此。 But as we get older we know this isn't true. 每一个人都要去“创造”正义，这并不容易。 Individual human beings have to create justice, and this is not easy... 因为真相往往威胁有权势的人。 ...because the truth often poses a threat to power... 坚持真理的人挑战权贵之时 ...and one often has to fight power 往往要冒极大的风险。 at great risk to themselves. 像S.M.霍兰、 People like S.M.

Because it still belongs to us... 只要人民还有为信仰奋斗的勇气， ...as long as the people have the guts 这个国家就仍然属于我们。 to fight for what they believe in. 我们所拥有的最珍贵的就是真理， The truth is the most important value 因为如果真理无法持久， we have, because if it doesn't endure... 如果政府抹杀真相， ...if the government murders truth... 如果我们无法尊重这些人， ...if we cannot respect these people... 那这里就不再是我生于斯死于斯的祖国， ...then this is not the country I was born in, or the country I want to die in. 丁尼生写过： Tennyson wrote: “权力遗忘死去的帝王” Authority forgets a dying king. 对约翰F肯尼迪来说，这是千真万确的事实。 This was never more true than for John F. Kennedy... 他的遇刺可能是美国历史上 ...whose murder was probably one 最恐怖的时刻。 of the most terrible moments... ...in the history of our country. 我们、人民、陪审团制度 We, the people, the jury system sitting 对克雷萧的审判 in judgment on Clay Shaw... 代表了 ...represent the hope... 人性对抗暴政的希望 ...of humanity against government power. 为了履行你们的职责 In discharging your duty... 请在这风雨飘摇的时刻 ...to bring a first conviction in this house of cards... 对克雷萧作出裁决。 ...against Clay Shaw... 别问国家能为你做些什么该问你能为国家做些什么 "...ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." 不要忘记… Do not forget... 你们死去的帝王 ...your dying king. 向世人显示 Show this world... 这仍是一个民有、 ...this is still a government "of the people, 民享、民治的政府 for the people and by the people." 在我们有生之年， Nothing as long as you live... 没什么比这个更重要了。 ...will ever be more important. 这是你们抉择。 It's up to you.
The glitter of official lies and the epic splendor of the thought-numbing funeral of J.F.K. confuse the eye and confound the understanding.
Hitler said:"The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it."Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed lonely man who wanted attention and got it by killing a President was only the first in a long line of patsies.
In later years, Bobby Kennedy,Martin Luther King....men whose commitment to change and peace....made them dangerous to men committed to war, would follow....also killed by such lonely crazed men.
Men who remove all guilt by making murder a meaningless act of a loner. We've all become Hamlets in our country,children of a slain father-leader. whose killers still possess the throne.
The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us with the secret murder at the heart of the American Dream.He forces on us the appalling questions:Of what is our Constitution made?
What are our lives worth?What is the future of a democracy..?where a President can be assassinated under suspicious circumstances..while the machinery of legal action scarcely trembles? How many more political murders disguised as heart attacks......suicides, cancers, drug overdoses?How many plane and car crashes will occur...before they are exposed for what they are?
I submit to you that what took place on November 22, 1963.was a coup d'etat.Its most direct and tragic result was the reversal of Kennedy's decision to withdraw from Vietnam.
The war is the biggest business in America with 80 billion dollars a year.
President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy planned at the highest levels of government carried out by fanatical and disciplined cold warriors in the Pentagon and CIA's covert operation apparatus.Among them, Clay Shaw, here before you.
It was a public execution,and it was covered up by like-minded people in the Dallas police the Secret Service, the FBI and the White House up to and including J. Edgar Hoover,and Lyndon Johnson who were accomplices after the fact.
胡佛和林登约翰逊，我相信他们是共犯，因前总统被刺而入主白宫的这个总统。
The assassination reduced the President to a transient official.His job is to speak as often as possible of the nation's desire for peace while he acts as a business agent in the Congress for the military and their contractors.
Some people say I'm crazy.Southern caricature seeking higher office.There's a simple way to determine if I am paranoid.Ask the 2 men who profited most from the assassination former President Johnson andyour new President, Nixon to release the 51 CIA documents pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby.
or the secret CIA memo on Oswald's activities in Russia that was destroyed while being photocopied.These documents are yours.The people's property. You pay for it.
But as the government sees you as children....who might be too disturbed to face this reality....or because you might lynch those involved you cannot see these documents for another 75 years.
I'm in my 40's so I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil by then.
But I'm telling my 8-year-old son to keep himself physically fit. so that one glorious September morning, in 2038, he can go to the National Archives and learn what the CIA and FBI knew.They may push it back then.
It may become a generational affair.Questions passed from parent to child.But some day, somewhere, someone may find out the damn truth.
We better.Or we might just as well buildourselves another government like the Declaration of lndependencesays to, when the old one don't work. Just a bit farther out West.
An American naturalist wrote:"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government."
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.You have a lot to think about. You'veseen evidence the public hasn't seen.Going back to when we were children.l think most of us in this court thought justice came automatically.
That virtue was its own reward. That good triumphs over evil.But as we get older we know this isn't true.Individual human beings have to create justice, and this is not easy because the truth often poses a threat to power and we often have to fight power at great risk to ourselves.
People like S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers, Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe, have all taken that risk and they've all come forward.
I have here some $8,000 in these letters sent from all over the country. Quarters, dimes, dollars from housewives plumbers, car salesmen, teachers, invalids.These are people who cannot afford to send money but do.People who drive cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who see their kids go to Vietnam.
Why?
Because they care.
Because they want the truth.
Because they want their country back.
Because it still belongs to us.as long as the people fight for what they believe in.
The truth is the most important value we have because if it doesn't endure, if the government murders truth if we cannot respect these people then this is not the country I was born in, or the country I want to die in.
We, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw represent the hope of humanity against government power. In discharging your duty to bring a first conviction against Clay Shaw, ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.
Do not forget your dying king. Show this world this is still a government of the people, for the people and by the people.Nothing, as long as you live, will ever be more important.
这段话过去几年中曾经翻了若干次，下面贴出来的是这两天最新翻的一版，也是迄今为止我本人最满意的一版。

每当我的办公室或你们——民众——问到这些问题、需要关键性的证据时，官方的回答永远是：“国家安全”。
What kind of "national security" do we have when we have been robbed of our leaders?
如果连我们的领袖都不能保全，那么我们所拥有的是种什么样的“国家安全”？
What "national security" permits the removal of fundamental power from the hands of the American people and validates the ascendancy of invisible government in the United States?
在美国，什么“国家安全”准许了对美国民众基本权利的剥夺行径，什么“国家安全”认可了一个看不到的所谓“政府”的支配地位？
That kind of "national security", gentlemen of the jury, is when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like it, you call it what it is —— Fascism！
当“国家安全”演化至斯，陪审员先生们，其实质就是——你们所谓的——法西斯主义！
I submit to you that what took place on November 22, 1963 was a coup d'etat.
我所要向你们提出的就是：1963年11月22日所发生的是一场政变。
Its most direct and tragic result was a reversal of President Kennedy's commitment to withdraw from Vietnam.
其最直接和悲剧性的后果就是改变了Kennedy所作出的从越南撤军的承诺。
The war is the biggest business in America worth $80 billion a year.
战争是美国最大的一桩生意，年花销达八百亿美元。
President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy that was planned in advance at the highest levels of our government and was carried out by fanatical and disciplined Cold Warriors in the Pentagon and CIA's covert operations apparatus, among them, Clay Shaw, here before you.
Kennedy总统被政府最高层所策划的阴谋杀害，由来自国防部和中情局掩饰行动组的狂热的训练有素的冷血枪手付诸行动，其中，就包括你们面前的这位Clay Show。
It was a public execution and it was covered up by like-minded individuals in the Dallas Police Department, the Secret Service, the FBI, and the White House, all the way up to and including J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson——whom I consider accomplices after the fact.
这是一场公然执行的枪决，且为达拉斯警察局、秘密勤务局、联邦调查局和白宫中志同道合者们甚至上至J. Edgar Hoover以及我个人认为在既成事实后成其帮凶的Lyndon Johnson所掩盖。
The assassination reduced the President to a transient official.
暗杀使总统成为过渡官员。
His job, his assignment is a speaker as often as possible of this nation's desire for peace while he acts as a business agent in the Congress for the military and hardware manufacturers.
他的工作和任务就是在国会替军方及军火制造商做代理，同时尽可能高谈国家对和平的渴望。
Some people say I'm crazy, southern caricature seeking higher office.
有人说我疯了，一个南方小丑在捞政治本钱。
Well there is a simple way to determine if I am paranoid: let's ask the two men who have profited the most from the assassination——your former President Lyndon Baines Johnson and your new President Richard Nixon——to release 51 CIA documents pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby, or the secret CIA memo on Oswald's activities in Russia that was "destroyed" while being photocopied.
其实用一个简单的方法就可以判断是不是我居心叵测：请从暗杀得利最多的两位——前总统Lyndon Baines Johnson和现任总统Richard Nixon——公布与Lee Oswald和Jack Ruby有关的中情局51号档案，或“已销毁的”有关Oswald在俄活动的中情局机密备忘录的翻拍副本。
All these documents are yours, the peoples property, you pay for it！
这些资料都是你们的，是民众的财产，你们纳了税的！
But because the government considers you as children who might be too disturbed or distressed to face this reality, or because you might possibly lynch those involved, you cannot see these documents for another 75 years.
但政府视你们为小孩子，难辨是非或者难抑悲痛因而不宜看到真相，或者因为担心有人会“妖言惑众”，所以你们不得不再等上75年才能看到这些资料。
I'm in my early 40's, so I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil by then, but I'm already telling my 8 year-old son to keep himself physically fit so that one glorious September morning in 2038 he can walk into the National Archives and find out what the CIA and the FBI knew.
我已年届四十，到那时我已不在人世，但是我已经告诫我八岁的儿子保持身体健康，这样，在2038年9月的某个明媚的早晨，他可以到国家档案馆看看当年中情局和联邦调查局究竟隐瞒了些什么。
They may even push it back then. It may become a generational affair, with questions passed down from father to son, mother to daughter.
或许届时他们会将时间再次延后，疑问由父母留给子女，变成代代相传的秘密。
But someday somewhere, someone may find out the damned truth！
但终有一天，终有一处，终会有人查明这见鬼的真相！
We'd better, we'd better or we might just as well build ourselves another Government——like the Declaration of Independence says to——when the old one ain't work, just a little farther out West.
我们最好，我们最好或者说我们只好自己建立一个新的政府——正如《独立宣言》所告诉我们的——当旧的政府不能代表人民时，大不了再靠西一些.
An American naturalist wrote:"a patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government".
一位美国自然主义者写道：“爱国者要随时准备好为了保卫国家而与政府斗争！”
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.
我今天并非有意让你们不安。
You have a lot to think about.
需要你们考虑的很多。
You've seen much evidence that the American public hasn't never seen.
你们看到了大量美国公众看不到的证据。
Going back to when we were children, I think most of us in this courtroom thought that justice came into being automatically, that virtue was its own reward, the good would triumph over evil.
回想孩提时代，我相信在场的大多数人都曾认为正义的实现有如瓜熟蒂落般自然，善有善报，邪不压正。
But as we get older we know that this just isn't true.
然而长大后我们会发现恰恰相反。
Individual human beings have to create justice and this is not easy because truth often possess a threat to power and one often has to fight power in great risk to themselves.
每个人都必须去伸张正义，而这却并非易事，因为真相常常意味着来自权势的威胁，人们常常不得不冒着巨大的风险与权势做斗争。
People like S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers, Jean Hill, and Willie O'Keefe have all taken that risk, have all come forward.
正如S.M. Holland、Lee Bowers、Jean Hill、Willie O'Keefe，他们都是冒着这种风险前来出庭作证的。
I have here some $8000 in these letters sent to my office from all over the country——quarters、dimes、dollar bills from housewives、plumbers、car salesmen、teachers、imbeciles ...
这些信封里面有大约八千美元，是从全国各地寄到我办公室的，有两角五的、一角的、一元的，来自家庭主妇、水管工、汽车推销员、教师、残障人士。。。
These are the people who cannot afford to send money but do; these are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in the hospitals, who see their kids go to Vietnam, why?
他们都是那些掏不出多少钱的，但他们却掏了，他们开出租车、在医院当护士、目送自己的儿子去越南的，为什么？
Because they care; because they want to know the truth; because they want their country back; because it still belongs to us; as long as the people have the guts to fight for what they believe in!
因为他们在意；因为他们渴望了解真相；因为他们仍然对自己的国家充满期待；因为只要民众还有为信仰而战的一腔热忱，它就仍旧是属于我们的.
The truth is the most important value we have because if the truth does not endure, if the government murders truth, if we cannot respect the hearts of these people, then this is not the country in which we were born in and is certainly not the country that I want to die in！
真相是我们拥有的最重要的价值，因为如果它不再存续，如果政府蓄意隐瞒真相，如果我们不能敬重这些赤子之心，那么这里将不再是我们生于斯更不是我愿意葬于斯的那个国家！
Tennyson wrote:"Authority forgets a dying king".
Tennyson写道：“当权者无暇顾及垂死的国王”。
And this was never more true than for John F. Kennedy whose murder was probably one of the most terrible moment in the history of our country.
对于John F. Kennedy来说没有比这句话更贴切的了，而他的遇刺亦恐怕是我国历史上最恐怖的一刻。
You the people——the jury system——sitting in judgement on Clay Shaw, represent the hope of humanity against government power.
在座的，出庭审判Clay Show的诸位，代表着陪审团制度，代表着对抗政府权势的人性的希望。
In discharging your duty, to bringing the first conviction in this house of cards against Clay Shaw.
履行你们的职责，宣告Clay Shaw的罪名成立，哪怕时局维艰。
"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."
“不要问你的国家能为你做些什么，问问你能为你的国家做些什么”
Do not forget your dying king！
别忘记你们垂死的国王！
Show the world, this is still a government of the people、for the people、and by the people.
让世人知道，这仍旧是一个“民有、民享、民治”的政府。
Nothing as long as you live will ever be more important.
在你们有生之年，没有什么比这更重要。
It's up to you！
全看你们的了！

一个春天的早晨，我醒得很早。外面天还未亮。懒懒的不想起来，便放起头天晚上刚看了开头便抵不住睡意的影碟《刺杀肯尼迪》（JFK）。
两张碟，接近三个小时，当片尾字幕出现的时候，我才发现天已亮了，外面有小鸟在叫着，我的脸上淌着泪水。
1963年11月22日，得克萨斯州达拉斯榆树街，坐在敞篷车上的美国总统肯尼迪被子弹击中身亡。2小时后，一名叫奥斯瓦尔德的嫌犯被逮捕，12小时后，奥斯瓦尔德在众目睽睽之下被人开枪打死。数月后，由政府和议院指定的调查机构——华伦委员会确认奥斯瓦尔德为唯一凶手。此案了结。
但达拉斯地方检察官杰姆·加里逝却在自己的调查中发现了一项惊人的阴谋。
他是孤独的，他独个对抗代表国家的政府和财团，对抗美国最有权的人和最有钱的人，没有后援，没有战友，敌人无所不在又无影无形，证人一个个离奇死去。
但他仍然象个剑客一样拨出了剑，起诉其中一个刺杀阴谋的参与者。他是全美国唯一出招的剑客。
他在法庭上说，真相是我们最重要的价值，因为这是我们的国家，一个爱国者要随时准备捍卫他的国家，反对政府。
饰演检察官的凯文·科斯特纳三十多分钟的法庭陈述可能是电影史上最经典的独白之一，就是它打动了我和我干涸的眼框。
这让我既羞愧又高兴。流眼泪不是什么值得夸耀的事，对我的年龄来说，理智成熟远比感情丰富好得多，我有些羞愧，因为不知道自己是不是很矫情。我高兴，因为我还有眼泪可流，为一个人的行动，为他追寻事实和真理的勇气，我的心没有麻木，它活着，还能被感动。
肯尼迪遇刺是美国历史上最恐怖的时刻，旧有的价值观和美国人引以为自豪的对民主政治的信念开始崩塌。它和越战及水门事件一起宣告了一个时代的终结。
该片导演奥利佛·斯通生于1946年，1967年参加了越战。我不知道上述事件在青少年斯通的心中留下了怎样的影像，促使他锲而不舍的在自己的每一部影片中追索真相，1986年《野战排》（越战），1989年《生于七月四日》（越战），1991年《刺杀肯尼迪》，1995年《尼克松》……有多少过去的真相湮没在时间的长河之中，我们所熟悉的历史是被别人告知的。
但总有富有正义感和良知的人站出来。
1998年，也就是肯尼迪遇刺35年之后，当时担任副总统、肯尼迪死后两小时即接任总统的林登·约翰逊的情妇马德莱娜在法国《费加罗》杂志上披露，刺杀肯尼迪是得克萨斯的石油大亨出钱，约翰逊具体策划和幕后指挥的大阴谋，他利用自己手中的权力掩盖了真相。这和影片中检察官加里逊的调查结论是一致的。
直到今天，美国政府仍然未对此案重新调查，真相依然被掩盖着。
法庭上，检察官加里逊说，回忆我们年幼时，以为正义是自然而来的，正必胜邪，年龄大了才知道不是，坚持正义并不容易，因为真相往往威胁着有权势的人，我们要冒很大的风险。
他败诉了，他被说成是捞取政治资本的小丑，人们不相信他，有关事件的档案被政府以国家安全的名义秘不示人。
可是这个孤独的剑客依然未放下手中的剑——面对法官、陪审团，旁听的人们，阴谋家。
“政府的档案要75年后才解禁，我已年过40，那时已在坟墓之中，但我要8岁的儿子保持身体健康，在2038年9月的清晨去翻看那些资料。也许他们还会想出借口推迟时间，可能这件事只能成为一代一代的传说。但终有一天会真相大白。”
他说，我不会辞职，即使花三十年才能揭发一个暗杀者，我会继续三十年。
片尾字幕写道：本片献给继续追寻真相的青年。
1963年11月22日
上午11时37分：肯尼迪从得克萨斯州的沃思堡抵达达拉斯市的拉夫菲尔德机场。肯尼迪和夫人杰基是前往达拉斯为下一年的总统选举做提前准备。
下午12时30分：肯尼迪在敞蓬豪华轿车上遇刺。
JFK
美国历史上的一个谜？
《JFK》这部电影带给我们一种说法，姑且不说是否正确，但起码给了我们一些启示。
肯尼迪的死有很多疑问
1得克萨斯当局在游行前临时更改行车路线
2街道两旁特工很少，窗户竟然可以打开
3街道允许群众带伞，没有特工狙击手
4车速低于10公里/小时
5晚间12点34分整个华盛顿电话故障1小时
6“杀手”被捕后，没有笔录，没有审讯，没有律师，直接判处死刑
7在把犯人运到法院的途中，被一名刺客杀死，在场70名警察没一人作出行动
8检查总统尸体时，没有一名平民医生，全部军医，尸体解剖被军方严密控制，书面报告指出1颗子弹是尼克松死亡的致命伤，但这颗子弹在人体上造成了7处不同的伤口（戏称“魔术子弹”）
谜团还有很多，最大的谜团就是肯尼迪遇刺的方式
官方称肯尼迪是被奥斯华用卡克努在拐角的书库3楼上开枪射杀的，在5.6秒内打了3发子弹，一发命中头部，造成致命伤。但疑问时，卡克努是一款非常老久步枪，是单发的，没上一发子弹需要最少2.3秒，所以再加上瞄准时间，是不可能在5.6秒内打出3发子弹的，而且狙击点和汽车之间是有树木遮盖着的，射击难度非常大，以至于官方用20多名射击好手也没有复制出肯尼迪遇刺时的弹道。
真正的问题是为什么？
为什么肯尼迪被杀？
谁会得到好处？
谁有权掩饰？
来看看肯尼迪的政策吧，国家安全备忘录55、56、57最高机密决定把CIA和国家安全局分成1千个小单位，这就是说，肯尼迪打算虚弱CIA和国家安全局的权力，这种做法是二战以来史无前例的，造成的影响是巨大的，这也间接给肯尼迪带来了很多的潜在敌人。这项议案最终没有执行，也是因为内阁的阻力很大。
在来说说古巴，肯尼迪认为与古巴和平相处，殊不知国家安全局每年将近百亿的开销都是对于古巴间谍活动军事打击所准备，所以这也间接导致了CIA对于肯尼迪的敌视。这百亿对于美国其实是小事，但肯尼迪对于军费的削减却是最致命的，25个州近52个军事基地，21个海外基地，庞大的费用，在越南损失了3000 架的直升飞机！谁制造的？贝尔直升飞机公司？
谁拥有贝尔？贝尔濒临破产时是CIA通过美国第一银行向贝尔购买在印度和中国使用的直升机（资本与CIA，我想你知道了其中的联系）…… F-111战斗机呢？德州华兹堡动力通用公司，谁掌管的…… 每年国防预算将近1千亿（60年代！）
不打战就没钱，组织流通的原则就是战争！国家当局统治人民至于战力， 肯尼迪想结束冷战，结束太空竞赛，和苏联合作，他签署了禁止核武器试爆的合约，1962年拒绝进攻古巴，企图从越南撤退，但在1963年11月22日终结了。
就像凯撒被敌人暗中包围……
国防部，承包商、石油商、银行家……所有这些大的资本集团准备刺杀行动了。
为什么是这些人想要总统的命？
因为他们需要钱！
战争、只有战争才能带来最大的利益！
没有人说他必须死，没有投票，没有写在文件里，没人遭到指责，就像左轮手枪里有五发子弹一发空弹，我们没想杀你，只是你运气不好，没有人有罪恶感！权力机构每个人都否认有理，没有联系，除了最高机密点！不论死多少或付出多少代价，共谋者要站在赢得一边，不能起诉任何犯案，任何人——这就是政变！（再想想伊拉克战争，美国真的只是维护和平吗？）
代理总统詹森签署了国安备忘录273，驳回了肯尼迪越南撤军政策，正是这份资料促成了越战！
接着肯尼迪的弟弟罗伯.肯尼迪也在选举中被刺身亡了，还有伟大的黑人领袖马丁.路德金，这一切的原因就是——他们倡导和平！
我们的宪法奠定了什么？生命的价值是什么？民主的未来是什么？多少更多的政治谋杀被装成了心脏病、自杀、癌症、药物过量？多少飞机汽车碰撞发生在他们所能透露之前？美国诗写着叛逆不会兴盛，为什么？因为没有人敢把叛逆称之为兴盛。大众没有看过刺杀纪录片，为什么？没有看过真的X光和验尸报告，为什么？有上百份的资料证明这是一起阴谋，为什么被官方扣押烧毁？当人民问到这些证据时，回答永远是：国家安全（这些资料将在2029年公布，等待着……）
当我们领袖遭到暗杀，还有什么国家安全？什么样的国家安全允许移走来自人民的基本权利，这样的国家安全，闻起来，听起来，看起来，就像：法西斯！
不要问国家能为你做什么？
而要问你能为国家做什么。
让全世界知道，美国仍然是人民享有民主的国家，没有什么比真相的存在更加重要的，全靠大家！
历史只是序幕
本片献给所有追求真理的年轻人！
Hitler said:"The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it."Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed lonely man who wanted attention and got it by killing a President was only the first in a long line of patsies.
当局在撒谎，诗史般的肯尼迪葬礼迷惑了我们的双眼和头脑。希特勒说：越大的谎言越有人相信。一个疯狂的无名之辈，想出风头暗杀了总统，这只是一长串名单中的第一个替罪羊。
In later years, Bobby Kennedy,Martin Luther King....men whose commitment to change and peace....made them dangerous to men committed to war, would follow....also killed by such lonely crazed men.
Men who remove all guilt by making murder a meaningless act of a loner. We've all become Hamlets in our country,children of a slain father-leader. whose killers still possess the throne.
近年来，肯尼迪、马丁路德金凡是想改革想和平的人，都是那些向往战争权贵们的眼中钉。这些人也同样被疯狂、孤独的个人杀害。这些毫无意义的个人愚蠢行为使我们毫无内疚之感。我们都成了哈姆雷特认贼作父，而凶手同样占据着皇位。
The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us with the secret murder at the heart of the American Dream.He forces on us the appalling questions:Of what is our Constitution made?
What are our lives worth?What is the future of a democracy..?where a President can be assassinated under suspicious circumstances..while the machinery of legal action scarcely trembles? How many more political murders disguised as heart attacks......suicides, cancers, drug overdoses?How many plane and car crashes will occur...before they are exposed for what they are?
而肯尼迪总统和他被害的那些秘密终于与我们在我们的美国梦中相遇了，它向我们提出这样一个问题，我们的宪法核心是什么，我们生命的价值又是什么呢？一个国家的总统被杀害，在众多疑问面前，它的司法机构只会在那里发抖，那么这个国家的民主又是什么呢？还有多少政治谋杀被说成是：心脏病发作、自杀、癌症和过量吸毒，还有多少飞机失事和车祸将发生在事情暴露的前夜呢？
"Treason doth never prosper," wrote an English poet.
What's the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
The American public has yetto see the Zapruder film.
Why?
The American public has yet to see the real X-rays and autopsy pictures.
Why?
Hundreds of documents could help prove this conspiracy.
Why are they being withheld or burned by the government?
When my office or you, the people, asked those questions, demanded evidence, the answer from on high has always been: national security.
What kind of national security do we have when we're robbed of our leaders?
What national security permits the removal..of fundamental power from the people.and validates the ascendancy of invisible government in the U.S.?
That kind of national security.when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like.you call it what it is: Fascism!
一位英国的诗人曾经这样写道，背信弃义是永远不会成功的，因为他成功了就没人敢叫他背信弃义了。为什么？美国人民到现在为止还没有看录像带，为什么？有成千上万的文件可以作证，为什么却被政府撤掉或者烧毁了呢？每次我的办公室或你们――人民，提出并要求查看证据时，得到的答案永远是：国家安全机密。我们国家的领导人被夺取了生命，还有什么国家安全所言呢？什么样的国家安全被允许夺走人民手中最基本的权利，并允许一个看不见的政府统治我们的美国呢！这样的国家安全，当他看上去如此、闻上去如此、感觉上如此的时候，我们就可以叫他：法西斯主义。
I submit to you that what took place on November 22, 1963.was a coup d'etat.Its most direct and tragic result was the reversal of Kennedy's decision to withdraw from Vietnam.
The war is the biggest business in America with 80 billion dollars a year.
President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy planned at the highest levels of government carried out by fanatical and disciplined cold warriors in the Pentagon and CIA's covert operation apparatus.Among them, Clay Shaw, here before you.
我向你们提出发生在1963年11月22日的事件，那是一场政变。它最直接最可悲的后果就是改变了肯尼迪从越南撤军的决定。每年消耗8000亿的战争是美国最大的生意。肯尼迪总统的谋杀案由美国政府的最高层精心策划，由五角大楼和国防部中的战争狂热分子来实施。
It was a public execution,and it was covered up by like-minded people in the Dallas police the Secret Service, the FBI and the White House up to and including J. Edgar Hoover,and Lyndon Johnson who were accomplices after the fact.
胡佛和林登约翰逊，我相信他们是共犯，因前总统被刺而入主白宫的这个总统。
The assassination reduced the President to a transient official.His job is to speak as often as possible of the nation's desire for peace while he acts as a business agent in the Congress for the military and their contractors.
Some people say I'm crazy.Southern caricature seeking higher office.There's a simple way to determine if I am paranoid.Ask the 2 men who profited most from the assassination former President Johnson andyour new President, Nixon to release the 51 CIA documents pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby.
or the secret CIA memo on Oswald's activities in Russia that was destroyed while being photocopied.These documents are yours.The people's property. You pay for it.
But as the government sees you as children....who might be too disturbed to face this reality....or because you might lynch those involved you cannot see these documents for another 75 years.
I'm in my 40's so I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil by then.
But I'm telling my 8-year-old son to keep himself physically fit. so that one glorious September morning, in 2038, he can go to the National Archives and learn what the CIA and FBI knew.They may push it back then.
It may become a generational affair.Questions passed from parent to child.But some day, somewhere, someone may find out the damn truth.
We better.Or we might just as well buildourselves another government like the Declaration of lndependencesays to, when the old one don't work. Just a bit farther out West.
An American naturalist wrote:"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government."
现在会有人说我是疯了，这有个简单的方法能证明我是否是偏执狂。我要求政府公开中情局51份档案，这些文件都是你们的。不，这些文件是人民的财产，你们为此而付了钱（纳税）。当时政府或许认为你们还是孩子，怕被那些实事吓坏的，或者你们会激动私自处死有关人员。所以在未来75年里你们是看不到这些文件的。我现在40岁，我是看不到了，但我希望我儿子在2038年9月一个阳光明媚的早晨，在国家档案馆翻看这些秘密。这可能成为几代人的事情，不过总会有一天，在某个地方某个人会发现真相。到那时我们自己最好能给自己建立一个新的政府，如独立宣言中所说：任何形式的政府，一旦起破坏作用时，人们便有权给予更换或者废除。一位美国的博物学家说，一位爱国者必须随时随地的准备与政府做斗争，以保护他的国家。
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.You have a lot to think about. You'veseen evidence the public hasn't seen.Going back to when we were children.l think most of us in this court thought justice came automatically.
That virtue was its own reward. That good triumphs over evil.But as we get older we know this isn't true.Individual human beings have to create justice, and this is not easy because the truth often poses a threat to power and we often have to fight power at great risk to ourselves.
回想我们的小时候，大多数人会认为正义会自己降落在我们身边，美德是对美德做好的回报，正义总会战胜邪恶。可我们长大后才知道，事情并非不都是真的，每个人都必须为正义而斗争，而这并不容易。因为真理总会引起权势们的恐慌，我们不得不冒着风险与权势们斗争。
People like S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers, Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe, have all taken that risk and they've all come forward.
I have here some $8,000 in these letters sent from all over the country. Quarters, dimes, dollars from housewives plumbers, car salesmen, teachers, invalids.These are people who cannot afford to send money but do.People who drive cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who see their kids go to Vietnam.
Why?
Because they care.
Because they want the truth.
Because they want their country back.
Because it still belongs to us.as long as the people fight for what they believe in.
The truth is the most important value we have because if it doesn't endure, if the government murders truth if we cannot respect these people then this is not the country I was born in, or the country I want to die in.
我们只要为自己的信仰而斗争，这个国家依然是我们的。寻求真理仍然是我们最重要的人生价值，如果真理已经受到政府谋杀，人民不在受到尊重，那这个地方就不是我们出生的那个国家，肯定也不会是我将与之终身厮守的那个国家。
Tennyson wrote:"Authority forgets a dying king."
This was never more true than for John F. Kennedy whose murder was probably one of the most terrible moments in the history of our country.
丁尼斯写到：当权者忘记了死去的国王。这就是肯尼迪遇害最真实的写照，这可能是我们国家历史之上最可怕的历史时刻之一。
We, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw represent the hope of humanity against government power. In discharging your duty to bring a first conviction against Clay Shaw, ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.
Do not forget your dying king. Show this world this is still a government of the people, for the people and by the people.Nothing, as long as you live, will ever be more important.
今天的判决代表人民与政府斗争的希望，不要问这个国家能为你做什么，而问你能为这个国家做什么。不要忘却你死去的国王。这个政府依然还是一个民有、民治、民享的政府，只要我们还活着，没有比这更重要的了。
