中英双语照奥巴马就职演讲稿第1篇

Myfellowcitizens:

我的同胞们：

Istandheretodayhumbledbythetaskbeforeus,gratefulforthetrustyouhavebestowed,mindfulofthesacrificesbornebyourancestors.IthankPresidentBushforhisservicetoournation,aswellasthegenerosityandcooperationhehasshownthroughoutthistransition.

今天我站在这里，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微。我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。

Forty-fourAmericanshavenowtakenthepresidentialoath.Thewordshavebeenspokenduringrisingtidesofprosperityandthestillwatersofpeace.Yet,everysooftentheoathistakenamidstgatheringcloudsandragingstorms.Atthesemoments,Americahascarriedonnotsimplybecauseoftheskillorvisionofthoseinhighoffice,butbecauseWethePeoplehaveremainedfaithfultotheidealsofourforbearers,andtruetoourfoundingdocuments.

迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。

Soithasbeen.SoitmustbewiththisgenerationofAmericans.

前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。

Thatweareinthemidstofcrisisisnowwellunderstood.Ournationisatwar,againstafar-reachingnetworkofviolenceandhatred.Oureconomyisbadlyweakened,aconsequenceofgreedandirresponsibilityonthepartofsome,butalsoourcollectivefailuretomakehardchoicesandpreparethenationforanewage.Homeshavebeenlost;jobsshed;businessesshuttered.Ourhealthcareistoocostly;ourschoolsfailtoomany;andeachdaybringsfurtherevidencethatthewaysweuseenergystrengthenouradversariesandthreatenourplanet.

现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中。我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨；国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。我们的人民正在失去家园，失去工作，很多企业倒闭。社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望，而且每天都会有新的证据显示，我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威胁着我们的星球。

Thesearetheindicatorsofcrisis,subjecttodataandstatistics.Lessmeasurablebutnolessprofoundisasappingofconfidenceacrossourland-anaggingfearthatAmerica''''sdeclineisinevitable,andthatthenextgenerationmustloweritssights.

统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。危机难以测量，但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀--现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免，我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。

TodayIsaytoyouthatthechallengeswefacearereal.Theyareseriousandtheyaremany.Theywillnotbemeteasilyorinashortspanoftime.Butknowthis,America-theywillbemet.

今天我要说，我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战，而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。但是我们要相信，我们一定会度过难关。

Onthisday,wegatherbecausewehavechosenhopeoverfear,unityofpurposeoverconflictanddiscord.

今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。

Onthisday,wecometoproclaimanendtothepettygrievancesandfalsepromises,therecriminationsandwornoutdogmas,thatforfartoolonghavestrangledourpolitics.

今天，我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号，我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。

Weremainayoungnation,butinthewordsofScripture,thetimehascometosetasidechildishthings.Thetimehascometoreaffirmourenduringspirit;tochooseourbetterhistory;tocarryforwardthatpreciousgift,thatnobleidea,passedonfromgenerationtogeneration:theGod-givenpromisethatallareequal,allarefree,andalldeserveachancetopursuetheirfullmeasureofhappiness.

美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用《圣经》的话说，放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来，我们要为历史作出更好的选择，我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念：上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。

Inreaffirmingthegreatnessofournation,weunderstandthatgreatnessisneveragiven.Itmustbeearned.Ourjourneyhasneverbeenoneofshort-cutsorsettlingforless.Ithasnotbeenthepathforthefaint-hearted-forthosewhopreferleisureoverwork,orseekonlythepleasuresofrichesandfame.Rather,ithasbeentherisk-takers,thedoers,themakersofthings-somecelebratedbutmoreoftenmenandwomenobscureintheirlabour,whohavecarriedusupthelong,ruggedpathtowardsprosperityandfreedom.

在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时，我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的，伟大需要努力赢得。（我们的民族一路走来），这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协，这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。这条路是勇于承担风险者之路，是实干家、创造者之路。这其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行，带领我们走向富强和自由。

Forus,theypackeduptheirfewworldlypossessionsandtraveledacrossoceansinsearchofanewlife.

Forus,theytoiledinsweatshopsandsettledthewest;enduredthelashofthewhipandplowedthehardearth.

Forus,theyfoughtanddied,inplaceslikeConcordandGettysburg;NormandyandKheSahn.

为了我们，先辈们带着微薄的细软，横渡大洋，寻找新生活；为了我们，先辈们忍辱负重，用血汗浇铸工厂；为了我们，先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他乡；为了我们，先辈们奔赴（独立战争中的）康科德城和葛底斯堡、（二战中的）诺曼底、（越战中的）KheSahn，他们征战、死去。

Timeandagainthesemenandwomenstruggledandsacrificedandworkedtilltheirhandswererawsothatwemightliveabetterlife.TheysawAmericaasbiggerthanthesumofourinpidualambitions;greaterthanallthedifferencesofbirthorwealthorfaction.

一次又一次，我们的先辈们战斗着、牺牲着、操劳着，只为了我们可以生活得更好。在他们看来，美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心，也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。

Thisisthejourneywecontinuetoday.Weremainthemostprosperous,powerfulnationonEarth.Ourworkersarenolessproductivethanwhenthiscrisisbegan.Ourmindsarenolessinventive,ourgoodsandservicesnolessneededthantheywerelastweekorlastmonthorlastyear.Ourcapacityremainsundiminished.Butourtimeofstandingpat,ofprotectingnarrowinterestsandputtingoffunpleasantdecisions-thattimehassurelypassed.Startingtoday,wemustpickourselvesup,dustourselvesoff,andbeginagaintheworkofremakingAmerica.

今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。同危机初露端倪之时相比，美国人民的生产力依然旺盛；与上周、上个月或者去年相比，我们的头脑依然富于创造力，我们的商品和服务依然很有市场，我们的实力不曾削弱。但是，可以肯定的是，轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。从今天开始，我们必须跌倒后爬起来，拍拍身上的泥土，重新开始工作，重塑美国。

Foreverywherewelook,thereisworktobedone.Thestateoftheeconomycallsforaction,boldandswift,andwewillact-notonlytocreatenewjobs,buttolayanewfoundationforgrowth.Wewillbuildtheroadsandbridges,theelectricgridsanddigitallinesthatfeedourcommerceandbindustogether.Wewillrestoresciencetoitsrightfulplace,andwieldtechnology''''swonderstoraisehealthcare''''squalityandloweritscost.Wewillharnessthesunandthewindsandthesoiltofuelourcarsandrunourfactories.Andwewilltransformourschoolsandcollegesanduniversitiestomeetthedemandsofanewage.Allthiswecando.Andallthiswewilldo.

我目之所及，都有工作有待完成。国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动，我们的确是要行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为（下一轮经济）增长打下新的基础。我们将造桥铺路，为企业铺设电网和数字线路，将我们联系在一起。我们将回归科学，运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量，降低医疗费用。我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆，为工厂提供能源。我们将改革中小学以及大专院校，以适应新时代的要求。这一切，我们都能做到，而且我们都将会做到。

Now,therearesomewhoquestionthescaleofourambitions-whosuggestthatoursystemcannottoleratetoomanybigplans.Theirmemoriesareshort.Fortheyhaveforgottenwhatthiscountryhasalreadydone;whatfreemenandwomencanachievewhenimaginationisjoinedtocommonpurpose,andnecessitytocourage.

现在，有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了，他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。他们是健忘了。他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就；他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时，自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。

Whatthecynicsfailtounderstandisthatthegroundhasshiftedbeneaththem-thatthestalepoliticalargumentsthathaveconsumedusforsolongnolongerapply.Thequestionweasktodayisnotwhetherourgovernmentistoobigortoosmall,butwhetheritworks-whetherithelpsfamiliesfindjobsatadecentwage,caretheycanafford,aretirementthatisdignified.Wheretheanswerisyes,weintendtomoveforward.Wheretheanswerisno,programswillend.Andthoseofuswhomanagethepublic''''sdollarswillbeheldtoaccount-tospendwisely,reformbadhabitsanddoourbusinessinthelightofday-becauseonlythencanwerestorethevitaltrustbetweenapeopleandtheirgovernment.

这些怀疑论者的错误在于，他们没有意识到政治现实已经发生了变化，长期以来耗掉我们太多精力的陈腐政治论争已经不再适用。今天，我们的问题不在于政府的大小，而在于政府能否起作用，政府能否帮助家庭找到薪水合适的工作、给他们可以负担得起的医疗保障并让他们体面地退休。哪个方案能给与肯定的答案，我们就推进哪个方案。哪个方案的答案是否定的，我们就选择终止。而掌管纳税人税金的人应当承担起责任，合理支出，摒弃陋习，磊落做事，这样才能在政府和人民之间重建至关重要的相互信任。

Noristhequestionbeforeuswhetherthemarketisaforceforgoodorill.Itspowertogeneratewealthandexpandfreedomisunmatched,butthiscrisishasremindedusthatwithoutawatchfuleye,themarketcanspinoutofcontrol-andthatanationcannotprosperlongwhenitfavoursonlytheprosperous.Thesuccessofoureconomyhasalwaysdependednotjustonthesizeofourgrossdomesticproduct,butonthereachf;onourabilitytoextendopportunitytoeverywillingheart-notoutofcharity,butbecauseitisthesurestroutetoourcommongood.

我们面临的问题也不是市场好坏的问题。市场创造财富、拓展自由的能力无可匹敌，但是这场危机提醒我们，如果没有监管，市场很可能就会失去控制，而且偏袒富人国家的繁荣无法持久。国家经济的成败不仅仅取决于国内生产总值的大小，而且取决于繁荣的覆盖面，取决于我们是否有能力让所有有意愿的人都有机会走向富裕。我们这样做不是慈善，而是因为这是确保实现共同利益的途径。

Asforourcommondefence,werejectasfalsethechoicebetweenoursafetyandourideals.Ourfoundingfathers,facedwithperilswecanscarcelyimagine,draftedachartertoassuretheruleoflawandtherightsofman,acharterexpandedbythebloodofgenerations.Thoseidealsstilllighttheworld,andwewillnotgivethemupforexpedience''''ssake.Andsotoallotherpeoplesandgovernmentswhoarewatchingtoday,fromthegrandestcapitalstothesmallvillagewheremyfatherwasborn:knowthatAmericaisafriendofeachnationandeveryman,womanandchildwhoseeksafutureofpeaceanddignity,andthatwearereadytoleadoncemore.

就共同防御而言，我们认为国家安全与国家理想的只能选其一的排他选择是错的。面对我们几乎无法想像的危险，我们的先辈们起草了确保法治和个人权利的宪章。一代代人民的鲜血夯实了这一宪章。宪章中的理想依然照亮着世界，我们不能以经验之谈放弃这些理想。因此我想对正在观看这一仪式的其他国家的人民和政府说，不论他们现在各国伟大的首府还是在如同我父亲出生地一般的小村落，我想让他们知道：对于每个追求和平和自尊的国家和个人而言，美国都是朋友，我们愿意再次领导大家踏上追寻之旅。

Recallthatearliergenerationsfaceddownfascismandcommunismnotjustwithmissilesandtanks,butwithsturdyalliancesandenduringconvictions.Theyunderstoodthatourpoweralonecannotprotectus,nordoesitentitleustodoasweplease.Instead,theyknewthatourpowergrowsthroughitsprudentuse;oursecurityemanatesfromthejustnessofourcause,theforceofourexample,thetemperingqualitiesofhumilityandrestraint.

回想先辈们在抵抗法西斯主义之时，他们不仅依靠手中的导弹或坦克，他们还依靠稳固的联盟和坚定的信仰。他们深知单凭自己的力量我们无法保护自己，他们也深知我们强大并不足以使我们有权利为所欲为。他们明白，正是因为使用谨慎，我们的实力才不断增强；正是因为我们的事业是公正的、我们为世界树立了榜样，因为我们的谦卑和节制，我们才安全。

Wearethekeepersofthislegacy.Guidedbytheseprinciplesoncemore,wecanmeetthosenewthreatsthatdemandevengreatereffort-evengreatercooperationandunderstandingbetweennations.WewillbegintoresponsiblyleaveIraqtoitspeople,andforgeahard-earnedpeaceinAfghanistan.Witholdfriendsandformerfoes,wewillworktirelesslytolessenthenuclearthreat,androllbackthespecterofawarmingplanet.Wewillnotapologiseforourwayoflife,norwillwewaverinitsdefence,andforthosewhoseektoadvancetheiraimsbyinducingterrorandslaughteringinnocents,wesaytoyounowthatourspiritisstrongerandcannotbebroken;youcannotoutlastus,andwewilldefeatyou.

我们继承了这些遗产。在这些原则的再次领导下，我们有能力应对新的威胁，我们需要付出更多的努力、进行国家间更广泛的合作以及增进国家间的理解。首先，我们将以负责任的态度，将伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民，同时巩固阿富汗来之不易的和平。对于老朋友和老对手，我们将继续努力，不遗余力，削弱核威胁，遏制全球变暖的幽灵。我们不会为我们的生活方式感到报歉，我们会不动摇地扞卫我们的生活方式。对于那些企图通过恐怖主义或屠杀无辜平民达成目标的人，我们要对他们说：我们的信仰更加坚定，不可动摇，你们不可能拖垮我们，我们定将战胜你们。

Forweknowthatourpatchworkheritageisastrength,notaweakness.WeareanationofChristiansandMuslims,JewsandHindus-andnon-believers.Weareshapedbyeverylanguageandculture,drawnfromeveryendofthisEarth;andbecausewehavetastedthebitterswillofcivilwarandsegregation,andemergedfromthatdarkchapterstrongerandmoreunited,wecannothelpbutbelievethattheoldhatredsshallsomedaypass;thatthelinesoftribeshallsoondissolve;thatastheworldgrowssmaller,ourcommonhumanityshallrevealitself;andthatAmericamustplayitsroleinusheringinaneweraofpeace.

因为我们知道，我们的多元化遗产是一个优势，而非劣势。我们国家里有基督徒也有穆斯林，有犹太教徒也有印度教徒，同时也有非宗教信徒。我们民族的成长受到许多语言和文化的影响，我们吸取了这个星球上任何一个角落的有益成分。正是因为我们民族曾亲尝过内战和种族隔离的苦酒，并且在经历了这些黑色的篇章之后变得更加强大更加团结，因此我们不由自主，只能相信一切仇恨终有一天都会成为过去，种族的划分不久就会消失，而且随着世界变得越来越小，我们相信终有一天人类共有的人性品德将会自动显现。在迎接新的和平时代到来的过程中，美国需要发挥自己的作用。

TotheMuslimworld,weseekanewwayforward,basedonmutualinterestandmutualrespect.Tothoseleadersaroundtheglobewhoseektosowconflict,orblametheirsociety''''sillsonthewest-knowthatyourpeoplewilljudgeyouonwhatyoucanbuild,notwhatyoudestroy.Tothosewhoclingtopowerthroughcorruptionanddeceitandthesilencingofdissent,knowthatyouareonthewrongsideofhistory;butthatwewillextendahandifyouarewillingtounclenchyourfist.

对于穆斯林世界，我们将基于共同的利益和信仰，寻找更好的合作之路。对于那些在世界各个地方挑起冲突或一味批评西方不良影响的领导者：你的人民评判你的依据是你建立了什么，而不是破坏了什么。对于那些依靠腐败和欺骗并压制异议而追求权利的人们：你们站在了人类历史的对立面。如果你们能张开紧握的拳头，我们也将伸出友谊之手。

对于那些贫穷的人们，我们保证和你们一起建设繁茂的农场和干净的水源，滋养那些饥寒交迫的身体和心灵。对于那些与我们一样相对富裕的国家，我们不能再对外界的苦难漠不关心，更不能继续大肆索取世界的资源。世界必须改变，我们都必须改变。

Asweconsidertheroadthatunfoldsbeforeus,werememberwithhumblegratitudethosebraveAmericanswho,atthisveryhour,patrolfar-offdesertsanddistantmountains.Theyhavesomethingtotellustoday,justasthefallenheroeswholieinArlingtonwhisperthroughtheages.Wehonourthemnotonlybecausetheyareguardiansofourliberty,butbecausetheyembodythespiritofservice;awillingnesstofindmeaninginsomethinggreaterthanthemselves.Andyet,atthismoment-amomentthatwilldefineageneration-itispreciselythisspiritthatmustinhabitusall.

当我们审视前方的道路时，我们会感激那些跨越千山万水来到这里的人们。今天，他们有话对我们说，也是安息在阿林顿国家公墓里的先烈们时刻提醒我们的。我们尊敬他们不仅因为是他们捍卫了我们的自由，更因为他们正是奉献精神的化身；他们致力于寻找远高于自身的生命真谛。而此时，在这个特殊的时代，我们更需让这种精神长存。

Forasmuchasgovernmentcandoandmustdo,itisultimatelythefaithanddeterminationoftheAmericanpeopleuponwhichthisnationrelies.Itisthekindnesstotakeinastrangerwhentheleveesbreak,theselflessnessofworkerswhowouldrathercuttheirhoursthanseeafriendlosetheirjobwhichseesusthroughourdarkesthours.Itisthefirefighter''''scouragetostormastairwayfilledwithsmoke,butalsoaparent''''swillingnesstonurtureachild,thatfinallydecidesourfate.

因为无论美国政府能做多少，必须做多少，美国国家的立国之本最终还是美国人的决心和信念。于防洪堤坝决堤之时收留陌生受难者的善意，于在经济不景气的时候宁愿减少自己工时也不肯看着朋友失业的无私，正是他们支撑我们走过黑暗的时刻。消防队员冲入满是浓烟的楼梯抢救生命的勇气，父母养育孩子的坚持，正是这些决定了我们的命运。

Ourchallengesmaybenew.Theinstrumentswithwhichwemeetthemmaybenew.Butthosevaluesuponwhichoursuccessdepends-hardworkandhonesty,courageandfairplay,toleranceandcuriosity,loyaltyandpatriotism-thesethingsareold.Thesethingsaretrue.Theyhavebeenthequietforceofprogressthroughoutourhistory.Whatisdemandedthenisareturntothesetruths.Whatisrequiredofusnowisaneweraofresponsibility-arecognition,onthepartofeveryAmerican,thatwehavedutiestoourselves,ournation,andtheworld,dutiesthatwedonotgrudginglyacceptbutratherseizegladly,firmintheknowledgethatthereisnothingsosatisfyingtothespirit,sodefiningofourcharacter,thangivingouralltoadifficulttask.

我们面临的挑战也许是新的，我们应对挑战的措施也许也是新的，但那些长期以来指导我们成功的价值观--勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心，还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义--却是历久弥新，这些价值观是可靠的。他们是创造美国历史的无声力量。我们现在需要的就是回归这些古老的价值观。我们需要一个新的负责任的时代，一个觉醒的时代，每个国人都应意识到即我们对自己、对国家和世界负有责任，我们不应该不情愿地接受这些责任，而应该快乐地承担起这些责任。我们应该坚定这一认识，即没有什么比全身心投入一项艰巨的工作更能锻炼我们的性格，更能获得精神上的满足。

Thisisthepriceandthepromiseofcitizenship.

这是公民应尽的义务，应做出的承诺。

Thisisthesourceofourconfidence-theknowledgethatGodcallsonustoshapeanuncertaindestiny.

我们自信源于对上帝的信仰，上帝号召我们要掌握自己的命运。

这就是我们自由和信仰的意义，这也是为何不同种族、不同信仰、不同性别和年龄的人可以同聚一堂在此欢庆的原因，也是我今天能站在这里庄严宣誓的原因，而在50多年前我的父亲甚至都不能成为地方餐馆的服务生。

Soletusmarkthisdaywithremembrance,ofwhoweareandhowfarwehavetraveled.IntheyearofAmerica''''sbirth,inthecoldestofmonths,asmallbandofpatriotshuddledbydyingcampfiresontheshoresofanicyriver.Thecapitalwasabandoned.Theenemywasadvancing.Thesnowwasstainedwithblood.Atamomentwhentheoutcomeofourrevolutionwasmostindoubt,thefatherofournationorderedthesewordsbereadtothepeople:

所以，让我们铭记自己的身份，镌刻自己的足迹。在美国诞生的时代，那最寒冷的岁月里，一群勇敢的爱国人士围着篝火在冰封的河边取暖。首都被占领，敌人在挺进，冬天的雪被鲜血染成了红色。在美国大革命最受质疑的时刻，我们的国父们这样说：公务员之家:

"Letitbetoldtothefutureworld...thatinthedepthofwinter,whennothingbuthopeandvirtuecouldsurvive...thatthecityandthecountry,alarmedatonecommondanger,cameforthtomeet[it]."

“我们要让未来的世界知道……在深冬的严寒里，唯有希望和勇气才能让我们存活……面对共同的危险时，我们的城市和国家要勇敢地上前去面对。”

America.Inthefaceofourcommondangers,inthiswinterofourhardship,letusrememberthesetimelesswords.Withhopeandvirtue,letusbraveoncemoretheicycurrents,andendurewhatstormsmaycome.Letitbesaidbyourchildren''''schildrenthatwhenweweretestedwerefusedtoletthisjourneyend,thatwedidnotturnbacknordidwefalter;andwitheyesfixedonthehorizonandGod''''sgraceuponus,wecarriedforththatgreatgiftoffreedomanddelivereditsafelytofuturegenerations.

今天的美国也在严峻的寒冬中面对共同的挑战，让我们记住国父们不朽的语言。带着希望和勇气，让我们再一次勇敢地面对寒流，迎接可能会发生的风暴。我们要让我们的子孙后代记住，在面临挑战的时候，我们没有屈服，我们没有逃避也没有犹豫，我们脚踏实地、心怀信仰，秉承了宝贵的自由权利并将其安全地交到了下一代的手中。

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.

首席大法官罗伯茨先生，卡特总统，克林顿总统，布什总统，奥巴马总统，各位美国同胞，世界人民，谢谢你们。

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

各位美国公民，我们正在参与一项伟大的全国性事业：重建我们的国家，恢复对全体人民的承诺。

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

我们将一起决定未来很多年内美国乃至全世界的道路。

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

我们会遭遇挑战，我们会遇到困难。但是我们能将这项事业完成。

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

每过四年，我们都相聚在这里进行有序和平的权力交接。我们应该感谢总统奥巴马和第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马，他们在权力交接中，慷慨地给予我帮助。他们真的很棒。

Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

今天的就职典礼有着特殊的意义。因为，今天，我们不只是将权力由一任总统交接到下一任总统，由一个政党交接给另一政党。今天我们是将权力由华盛顿交接到人民的手中，也就是你们的手中。

For too long, a small group in our nation's Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

长久以来，首度华盛顿的一小撮人攫取了政府的利益果实，代价却要由人民来承受。

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

华盛顿欣欣向荣，人民却没有分享到财富。

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

政客们赚得盆满锅满，但工作机会越来越少，工厂纷纷倒闭。

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

当权派保护的是他们自己，而不是我们国家的公民。

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation's Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

他们的胜利不等同于你们的胜利。当他们在我们的首都欢呼庆祝时，无数挣扎在这片土地上的家庭却没有什么可以庆祝的。

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

但这些都会改变，就在此时此地。因为当下是你们的时刻，这一刻属于你们。

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

这一刻属于今天聚集在这里的所有人和全国正在收看这次典礼的所有美国人。

This is your day. This is your celebration.

这是你们的一天，这是你们的庆祝日。

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

美利坚合众国，是你们的国家。

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

真正重要的并不是哪个党派当政，而是政府是否由人民做主。

January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

2017年1月20日，这一天将会被铭记，美国人重新成为了国家的主人。

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

曾经被忽视的美国人不会继续被忽视。

Everyone is listening to you now.

现在，所有人都在倾听你们。

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

你们数以千万计地投入到这场历史运动中，这样的事情世界上前所未有。

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.

这一就职典礼的核心是一个重要信念——国家是为服务人民而存在的。美国人希望孩子们可以享受优良的学校教育，家人可以享受安全的社区环境，自己可以得到优质的就业岗位。

These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

这些公正、合理的诉求来自正直的民众。

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

但对很多公民来说，现实却是另一番景象。在内城区，母亲和孩子正饱受贫困，生锈的工厂像墓碑一样布满我们国家的土地，教育系统充斥着黑暗的权钱交易，导致我们年轻又俊俏的学生们在知识上出现漏洞。犯罪团伙和毒品夺走了很多生命，损害了我们国家众多尚未释放的潜力。

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

我们国家中的这些屠杀行为将永久结束在此地、结束在此刻。

We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

我们同属一个国家，他们的痛苦就是我们的痛苦。他们的梦想也是我们的梦想，他们的成就也会是我们的成就。我们万众一心，同住一个家园，共享辉煌命运。

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

今天我所做的就职誓言是对所有美国人的效忠。

For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;

几十年来，我们牺牲了美国工业，让别国工业得以兴旺；

Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

为别国军队施以援手，对我国军力令人心痛的耗损却视而不见；

We've defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend our own;

我们曾参与保卫其他国家的领地，却疏忽了对自己领土的保护；

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

我们在海外投入成千上万亿美元，自己的基础设施却年久失修、长年荒废。

We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

我们帮助其他国家走上了富裕之路，自己的财富、力量和自信却逐渐消失在地平线上。

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.

我们的工厂一个接一个倒闭，却没有考虑被落下的成千上万名工人。

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

我们中产阶级的财富被剥削，再被分配给世界其他国家。

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

但这些都是过去了，现在，我们要看向未来。

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

今天我们聚集于此，是为了颁布新的命令，让它在每座城市、每个国家的首都、每座权力的殿堂回响。

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

从今天起，我们的国家将拥有新的愿景。

From this moment on, it's going to be America First.

从此刻起，美国将是第一。

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

每一个关于贸易、税收、移民、外交的决定，都会使美国工人和家庭受益。

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

我们要保护我们的国家，免受他国的破坏，他们生产着我们的商品，剽窃我们的公司，毁掉了我们的工作机会。只有保护，才能实现真正的繁荣富强。

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.

我会拼尽全力，为你们奋战到底。而且，我永远，永远不会让你们失望。

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

美国会再次获胜，迎来史无前例的荣光。

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.

我们会夺回属于我们的工作。我们会重新守卫住国界。我们会赢回我们的财富。我们要重新实现我们的梦想。

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

在我们辽阔伟大的国土上，我们要修建新的道路、高速公路、桥梁、机场、隧道和铁路。

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

我们将不再仅仅依靠福利，而是回到工作岗位，依靠美国人的双手和劳动，重建我们的国家。

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

我们将遵循两条最简单的原则：买美国商品，雇美国人民。

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

我们会与世界其他国家和睦修好，但是我们之所以这样做，是因为我们明白，所有国家都有权以自己的利益为先。

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

我们不刻意将自己的生活方式强加于人，而是希望我们自己以身作则，为别人树立榜样。

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

我们会加强与旧盟友的关系，建立新的联系，将文明世界的国家团结起来，抵御激进的伊斯兰恐怖主义，我们会把他们从地球全部清除。

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

政治必须以完全拥护我们自己的国家为基础。我们会经由衷心对待我们的国家，实现我们彼此之间的忠诚。

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

当你的心中充满着爱国的激情，就不会再心存偏见。

The Bible tells us, "how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity."

圣经告诉我们，当上帝的子民团结一致，那将是何等愉悦美好。

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

我们必须开诚布公，真诚地就不同意见进行辩论，同时也要追求团结。

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

当美国人民团结一致时，美国就会势不可当。

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.

我们无需心存恐惧。我们会被保护，我们会永远被保护。

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

那些来自军队和执法部门的优秀成员将保护我们，更重要的是，上帝会保佑我们。

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

最后，我们必须大胆想象，敢于做梦。

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

在美国，我们必须明白，一个国家只有不断努力奋斗，才能继续生存。

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

我们再也不会接纳那些只说不做、不断抱怨而不干实事的政客。

The time for empty talk is over.

讲空话的时代已经结束了。

Now arrives the hour of action.

行动的时刻到了。

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

不要相信任何人说你不能做到。没有什么可以战胜美国人的心性、斗志和精神。

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

我们不会失败。我们的国家将会再次繁荣兴旺。

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

我们站在新千年的当口，我们准备好破解太空的奥秘，将地球从疾病的痛苦中解脱出来，利用未来的能源、工业和技术。

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our pisions.

一种新的国家荣誉感在我们的灵魂中激荡，提升我们的视野，弥合我们的分歧。

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

是时候让我们的斗士回想起那个古老的智慧了——不管是黑皮肤，棕皮肤还是白皮肤，我们都流着同样的爱国者的红色血液，我们享受同一片自由的光辉，我们一起向同一面伟大的美国国旗致敬。

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

我们的孩子，不管是出生在底特律城郊，还是内布拉斯加州被风吹过的平原上，他们仰望的是同一片夜空，他们的内心承载着同样的梦想，他们被同一个万能的造物主注入生命之息。

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

所有美国人民，无论你身在哪个城市，或远或近，或大或小，即使远隔千山万水，也请你听清下面的话：

You will never be ignored again.

你再也不会被忽视。

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

你们的声音，你们的希望和你们的梦想，将定义美国的命运。你们的勇气、善良和爱将永远为我们指引前路的方向。

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

我们在一起，会让美国再次强大。

We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

我们会让美国再次富有。

We Will Make America Proud Again.

我们会让美国再次骄傲。

We Will Make America Safe Again.

我们会让美国再次安全。

And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.

当然，我们在一起，让美国再次伟大。谢谢你们，上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美利坚。

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

今天我站在这里，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微。我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our healthcare is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中。我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨；国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。我们的人民正在失去家园，失去工作，很多企业倒闭。社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望，而且每天都会有新的证据显示，我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威胁着我们的星球。

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。危机难以测量，但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀--现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免，我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.

今天我要说，我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战，而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。但是我们要相信，我们一定会度过难关。

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

今天，我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号，我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。

We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用《圣经》的话说，放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来，我们要为历史作出更好的选择，我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念：上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时，我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的，伟大需要努力赢得。（我们的民族一路走来），这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协，这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。这条路是勇于承担风险者之路，是实干家、创造者之路。这其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行，带领我们走向富强和自由。

For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.

For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the west; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.

为了我们，先辈们带着微薄的细软，横渡大洋，寻找新生活；为了我们，先辈们忍辱负重，用血汗浇铸工厂；为了我们，先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他乡；为了我们，先辈们奔赴（独立战争中的）康科德城和葛底斯堡、（二战中的）诺曼底、（越战中的）Khe Sahn，他们征战、死去。

Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our inpidual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.

一次又一次，我们的先辈们战斗着、牺牲着、操劳着，只为了我们可以生活得更好。在他们看来，美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心，也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。同危机初露端倪之时相比，美国人民的生产力依然旺盛；与上周、上个月或者去年相比，我们的头脑依然富于创造力，我们的商品和服务依然很有市场，我们的实力不曾削弱。但是，可以肯定的是，轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。从今天开始，我们必须跌倒后爬起来，拍拍身上的泥土，重新开始工作，重塑美国。

For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise healthcare's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.

我目之所及，都有工作有待完成。国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动，我们的确是要行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为（下一轮经济）增长打下新的基础。我们将造桥铺路，为企业铺设电网和数字线路，将我们联系在一起。我们将回归科学，运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量，降低医疗费用。我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆，为工厂提供能源。我们将改革中小学以及大专院校，以适应新时代的要求。这一切，我们都能做到，而且我们都将会做到。

Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.

现在，有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了，他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。他们是健忘了。他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就；他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时，自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。

What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

这些怀疑论者的错误在于，他们没有意识到政治现实已经发生了变化，长期以来耗掉我们太多精力的陈腐政治论争已经不再适用。今天，我们的问题不在于政府的大小，而在于政府能否起作用，政府能否帮助家庭找到薪水合适的工作、给他们可以负担得起的医疗保障并让他们体面地退休。哪个方案能给与肯定的答案，我们就推进哪个方案。哪个方案的答案是否定的，我们就选择终止。而掌管纳税人税金的人应当承担起责任，合理支出，摒弃陋习，磊落做事，这样才能在政府和人民之间重建至关重要的相互信任。

Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favours only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach f; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.

我们面临的问题也不是市场好坏的问题。市场创造财富、拓展自由的能力无可匹敌，但是这场危机提醒我们，如果没有监管，市场很可能就会失去控制，而且偏袒富人国家的繁荣无法持久。国家经济的成败不仅仅取决于国内生产总值的大小，而且取决于繁荣的覆盖面，取决于我们是否有能力让所有有意愿的人都有机会走向富裕。我们这样做不是慈善，而是因为这是确保实现共同利益的途径。

As for our common defence, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.

就共同防御而言，我们认为国家安全与国家理想的只能选其一的排他选择是错的。面对我们几乎无法想像的危险，我们的先辈们起草了确保法治和个人权利的宪章。一代代人民的鲜血夯实了这一宪章。宪章中的理想依然照亮着世界，我们不能以经验之谈放弃这些理想。因此我想对正在观看这一仪式的其他国家的人民和政府说，不论他们现在各国伟大的首府还是在如同我父亲出生地一般的小村落，我想让他们知道：对于每个追求和平和自尊的国家和个人而言，美国都是朋友，我们愿意再次领导大家踏上追寻之旅。

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.

回想先辈们在抵抗法西斯主义之时，他们不仅依靠手中的导弹或坦克，他们还依靠稳固的联盟和坚定的信仰。他们深知单凭自己的力量我们无法保护自己，他们也深知我们强大并不足以使我们有权利为所欲为。他们明白，正是因为使用谨慎，我们的实力才不断增强；正是因为我们的事业是公正的、我们为世界树立了榜样，因为我们的谦卑和节制，我们才安全。

We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort - even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologise for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defence, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

我们继承了这些遗产。在这些原则的再次领导下，我们有能力应对新的威胁，我们需要付出更多的努力、进行国家间更广泛的合作以及增进国家间的理解。首先，我们将以负责任的态度，将伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民，同时巩固阿富汗来之不易的和平。对于老朋友和老对手，我们将继续努力，不遗余力，削弱核威胁，遏制全球变暖的幽灵。我们不会为我们的生活方式感到报歉，我们会不动摇地扞卫我们的生活方式。对于那些企图通过恐怖主义或屠杀无辜平民达成目标的人，我们要对他们说：我们的信仰更加坚定，不可动摇，你们不可能拖垮我们，我们定将战胜你们。

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

因为我们知道，我们的多元化遗产是一个优势，而非劣势。我们国家里有基督徒也有穆斯林，有犹太教徒也有印度教徒，同时也有非宗教信徒。我们民族的成长受到许多语言和文化的影响，我们吸取了这个星球上任何一个角落的有益成分。正是因为我们民族曾亲尝过内战和种族隔离的苦酒，并且在经历了这些黑色的篇章之后变得更加强大更加团结，因此我们不由自主，只能相信一切仇恨终有一天都会成为过去，种族的划分不久就会消失，而且随着世界变得越来越小，我们相信终有一天人类共有的人性品德将会自动显现。在迎接新的和平时代到来的过程中，美国需要发挥自己的作用。

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the west - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.

对于穆斯林世界，我们将基于共同的利益和信仰，寻找更好的合作之路。对于那些在世界各个地方挑起冲突或一味批评西方不良影响的领导者：你的人民评判你的依据是你建立了什么，而不是破坏了什么。对于那些依靠腐败和欺骗并压制异议而追求权利的人们：你们站在了人类历史的对立面。如果你们能张开紧握的拳头，我们也将伸出友谊之手。

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

对于那些贫穷的人们，我们保证和你们一起建设繁茂的农场和干净的水源，滋养那些饥寒交迫的身体和心灵。对于那些与我们一样相对富裕的国家，我们不能再对外界的苦难漠不关心，更不能继续大肆索取世界的资源。世界必须改变，我们都必须改变。

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honour them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.

当我们审视前方的道路时，我们会感激那些跨越千山万水来到这里的人们。今天，他们有话对我们说，也是安息在阿林顿国家公墓里的先烈们时刻提醒我们的。我们尊敬他们不仅因为是他们捍卫了我们的自由，更因为他们正是奉献精神的化身；他们致力于寻找远高于自身的生命真谛。而此时，在这个特殊的时代，我们更需让这种精神长存。

For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.

因为无论美国政府能做多少，必须做多少，美国国家的立国之本最终还是美国人的决心和信念。于防洪堤坝决堤之时收留陌生受难者的善意，于在经济不景气的时候宁愿减少自己工时也不肯看着朋友失业的无私，正是他们支撑我们走过黑暗的时刻。消防队员冲入满是浓烟的楼梯抢救生命的勇气，父母养育孩子的坚持，正是这些决定了我们的命运。

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.

我们面临的挑战也许是新的，我们应对挑战的措施也许也是新的，但那些长期以来指导我们成功的价值观--勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心，还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义--却是历久弥新，这些价值观是可靠的。他们是创造美国历史的无声力量。我们现在需要的就是回归这些古老的价值观。我们需要一个新的负责任的时代，一个觉醒的时代，每个国人都应意识到即我们对自己、对国家和世界负有责任，我们不应该不情愿地接受这些责任，而应该快乐地承担起这些责任。我们应该坚定这一认识，即没有什么比全身心投入一项艰巨的工作更能锻炼我们的性格，更能获得精神上的满足。

This is the price and the promise of citizenship.

这是公民应尽的义务，应做出的承诺。

This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

我们自信源于对上帝的信仰，上帝号召我们要掌握自己的命运。

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.

这就是我们自由和信仰的意义，这也是为何不同种族、不同信仰、不同性别和年龄的人可以同聚一堂在此欢庆的原因，也是我今天能站在这里庄严宣誓的原因，而在50多年前我的父亲甚至都不能成为地方餐馆的服务生。

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:

所以，让我们铭记自己的身份，镌刻自己的足迹。在美国诞生的时代，那最寒冷的岁月里，一群勇敢的爱国人士围着篝火在冰封的河边取暖。首都被占领，敌人在挺进，冬天的雪被鲜血染成了红色。在美国大革命最受质疑的时刻，我们的国父们这样说：

"Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."

“我们要让未来的世界知道……在深冬的严寒里，唯有希望和勇气才能让我们存活……面对共同的危险时，我们的城市和国家要勇敢地上前去面对。”

America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

今天的美国也在严峻的寒冬中面对共同的挑战，让我们记住国父们不朽的语言。带着希望和勇气，让我们再一次勇敢地面对寒流，迎接可能会发生的风暴。我们要让我们的子孙后代记住，在面临挑战的时候，我们没有屈服，我们没有逃避也没有犹豫，我们脚踏实地、心怀信仰，秉承了宝贵的自由权利并将其安全地交到了下一代的手中。
