Sorry to have made my posting that long. (BUT those renditions were hard to locate at the time of posting and I didn't want to miss any one of them.)
I purposely have the different Chinese versions posted (BOTH CENSORED AND FULL) so that okenglish pals here could have a better view of how an original English speech was "treated", "cured", "embellished", and whatnot. After all, this is the aim of this English forum; right?
Last but not least, thanks for your translation.
