11、very day of mound .The news that Hitlers invasion of Russia was brought to Churchill when he awoke on the morning of Sunday, the 22nd, June 1941. This changed conviction into certainty. Churchill asked that notice should immediately be given that he would broadcast at 9 oclock that night. The German
12、s had invaded Russia on an enormous front, had surprised a large portion of the Soviet Air Force grounded on the airfields, and seemed to be driving forward with great rapidity and violence. 2. A Stylistic Analysis of the Speech (An analysis of some of the stylistic devices used in the speech)Church
13、ills Speech on Hitlers Invasion of U.S.S.R is widely regarded as one of the most powerful ever delivered in the word. Almost every one who listened it can get encourage. The analysis of some of the stylistic devices used in the speech is widely Now lets appreciate it together. 2.1 Repetition: Throug
14、hout the speech, the author used some words many times, It make the sentence express his emotion strongly, and at the same time .we can see, it makes the thesis wonderful.(1) I see the Russian soldiers standing on the threshold of their native land I see them guarding their homes where mothers and w
15、ives pray I see the ten thousand villages of Russia I see advancing upon all this in hideous onslaught the Nazi war machine I see also the dull, drilled, docile, brutish masses of the Hun soldiery I see the German bombers and fighters in the skyAuthors six sentences with “I see” together, described
16、Nazi attack the Soviet Union situation, have indicated his position of at this time, and supported, sympathized with the Russian people and army. Detest the barbarous invasion of Nazi. Strengthen the imposing manner of tone; It an help the expression of the emotion.(2) We shall fight him by hand, we
17、 shall fight him by sea, we shall fight him by the air.We can see obviously that Churchill will fight against Nazi until the end!If we study the whole speech more carefully, it is easy for us to find many other examples of repetition used.(3) We will never parley; we will never negotiate with Hitler
18、 or any of his gang. We shall fight him by land, we shall fight him by sea, we shall fight him in the air, until, with the Gods help, we have rid the earth of his shadow and liberated its peoples from his yoke.(4) Any man or state who fight on against Nazidom will have our aid. Any man or state who
19、marches with Hitler is our foe(5) Let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience. Let us redouble our exertions, and strike with united strength while life and power remain. All the sentence used repetition are reading smoothly. They can express Churchills emotion appropriately. An
20、d it declares that England will join together with other countries even Socialist state to fight against Nazi for the freedom of people. 2.2 Use of Parallelism Parallelism is another syntactic over-regularity. It means exact repetition in equivalent positions.In his speech, Churchill uses parallelis
21、m to create a strong rhythm to help the audience line up his ideas. Here are few examples:(6) The past, with its crimes, its follies, and its tragedies, flashes away.(7) He hopes that if he succeeds in this he will be He hopes, no doubt, that all this mayand the he canHe hopes that he may that proce
22、ss of and that then(8) I see them guarding their homes where mothers and wives pray- ah, yes, for there are times when all pray- for the safety of their loved ones, the return of the bread-winner, of their champion, of their protector.(9) I see advancing upon all this in hideous onslaught the Nazi w
23、ar machine, with its clanking, heel-clicking, dandified Prussian officers, its crafty expert agents fresh from the cowing and tying down of a dozen countries.(10) Behind all this glare, behind all this storm, I see that small group of villainous men who plan, organize, and launch this cataract of ho
24、rrors upon mankind.(11) We shall appeal to all our friends and allies in every part of the world to take the same course and pursue it, as we shall faithfully and steadfastly to the end. 3.3 Use of Similes and MetaphorsWe can change another word or sentence to express our means if we want to say som
25、ething similes or uneasy to say. Whats more, its easy to understand. Churchills speech used it pertinently. (12)I see also the dull, drilled, docile, brutish masses of the Hun soldiery plodding in like a swarm of crawling locusts. We can see, Churchill here say Hun soldiery just like crawling locust
26、s. They have the similar characteristic they can spread and destroy. (13)I asked whether for him, the arch anti-Communist, this was not bowing down in the House of Rimmon. Its a metaphor. The paragraph Bow down in the House of Rimmon was written in the Bible, it means Prostrate oneself under the cir
27、cumstances that false god face the foot, and it always used to say “prostrate oneself under the foot of the money”, here Churchill want to say that he always object to communism, but this time if he change the attitude, then he express his idea. (14)Behind all the glare, behind all this storm, I see
28、 Glare means angry sight, but here it means that hatred, fierce and cruel expression; storm means windstorm, but here it means war or attacking. (15)I see the German bombers and fighters in the sky, still smarting from many a British whipping, delighted to find what they believe is an easier and a s
29、afer prey.3.4 Use of Contrast If two things are different, we can Contrast it to show the difference. The audience can understand it easily. Churchills speaking was understood easily, we can learn how the contrast used in the speaking. (16)I see the ten thousand villages of Russia where the means of
30、 existence is wrung so hardly from the soil, but where there are still primordial human joys, where maidens laugh and children play. (17)This is no class war, but a war in which the whole British Empire and Commonwealth of Nations is engaged, without distinction of race, creed, or party. its not for
31、 me tobut (18)It is not for me to speak of the action of the United States, but this I will say. (19)This is no time to moralize on the follies of countries and Governments which have allowed themselves to be struck down one by one, when by united action they could have saved themselves and saved th
32、e world from this catastrophe. 4. Conclusion From the test we can find and learn something from Churchills speech we can know why his speech was considered as one of the best wonderful speech in the word in the stylistics promises ground. And we know that when we have a speech we should pay attention to use stylistics promises even more complex. But we cant study Churchills speech completely. I hope we can learn something from it .
