一些经典语句，摘录下来

On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy delivered his speech before a crowd of 35,000 people in the Rice University football stadium. The most quoted portion of the speech is in the middle:

We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.

There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the Moon! ...

We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things,

not because they are easy, but because they are hard;

because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win .

That’s one small step for a man…one giant leap for mankind

"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind", the famous words of Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong when he became the first human to both set foot on the Moon, and the first human to step onto another world.

I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again. ——Troy(2004)

我跟你透露个小秘密吧。你在你那神庙里永远都学不到的秘密。众神们都嫉妒我们。他们嫉妒我们因为我们是凡人，因为每时每刻都有可能是我们的最后一刻。正是因为我们注定毁灭，一切才更加美丽，你以后永远都不可能比现在的你更加美丽，我们也永远不可能再次出现在这里了。——《特洛伊》

- You're still my enemy in the morning.

- You're still my enemy tonight. But even enemies can show respect. ——Troy(2004)

- 你明天会是我的敌人。

- 你今晚还是我的敌人。但敌人之间也能互相尊重啊。——《特洛伊》

Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved? ——Troy(2004)

人类总是渴望那永恒的力量，所以我们常常自问：我们的一举一动，能否留名史册；多年以后，人们是否还会传颂我们的美名，是否会追思我们的往昔，是否会高歌我们的战役，是否会铭记我们的爱情？——《特洛伊》

You say you're willing to die for love but you know nothing about dying and you know nothing about love! ——Troy(2004)

你说你愿意为爱而死，但是你却一点都不了解死亡，也不了解爱情！——《特洛伊》
