　　【注】下面一段布什总统的演讲让人震撼，世贸大楼刚刚倒塌没几天后，小布什在废墟堆上发表的，当时我正在收看凤凰卫视，正好看到此景，觉得这可能是布什此生最精彩的演讲了。

　　G. BUSH: Thank you all. I want you all to know -- it can't go any louder -- I want you all to know that America today is on bended knee, and prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn, this nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens -- I can hear you!

　　CROWD: USA -- USA -- USA!
