奥巴马就职演说2013全文
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created eual, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.
Together, we determined that a modern economy reuires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers。
奥巴马宣誓就职演讲词
barack obama’s inaugural address ——美国第44任总统奥巴马宣誓就职的演讲词英文：my fellow citizens:i stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you havebestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. i thank president bushfor his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shownthroughout this transition.forty-four americans have now taken the presidential oath. the words have beenspoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. yet, everyso 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 highoffice, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of ourforbearers, and true to our founding documents. so it has been. so it must be with this generation of americans. that we are inthe midst of crisis is now well understood. our nation is at war, against afar-reaching network of violence and hatred. our economy is badly weakened, aconsequence of greed and irresponsi bility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choicesand prepare the nation for a new age. homes have been lost; jobs shed; businessesshuttered. our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each daybrings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries andthreaten our planet.these are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. lessmeasurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a naggingfear that america’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lowerits sights.today i say to you that the challenges we face are real. they are serious andthey are many. they will not be met easily or in a short span of time. but know this,america - they will be met.on this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purposeover conflict and discord.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 topursue their full measure of happiness. in reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is nevera given. it must be earned. our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settlingfor less. it has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisureover work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. rather, it has been therisk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often menand women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towardsprosperity and freedom.for us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceansin search of a new life.for us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the west; endured the lash of thewhip and plowed the hard earth. for us, they fought and died, in places like concord and gettysburg; normandyand khe sanh.time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till theirhands were raw so that we might live a better life. they saw america as bigger thanthe sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth orwealth or faction. this is the journey we continue today. we remain the most prosperous, powerfulnation on earth. our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. ourminds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they werelast week or last month or last year. our capacity remains undiminished. but our timeof standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions- that time has surely passed. starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dustourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking america.中文：同胞们：我今天站在这里，深感面前使命的重大，深谢你们赋予的信任，并铭记我们前辈所付的代价。

2013奥巴马就职演讲全文vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress,distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: 拜登副总统，最高法院首席大法官先生，美国国会议员们，尊敬的客人们，同胞们： eachtime we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strengthof our constitution. we affirm the promise of our democracy. we recall that whatbinds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faithor the origins of our names. what makes us exceptional – what makes us american– is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than twocenturies ago: 当我们每次聚集在一起为总统举行就职典礼时，我们都是在见证美国宪法的不朽力量。
我们是在又一次立下美国民主的承诺。
我们再次提醒说，把这个国家凝聚在一起的不是我们的肤色，不是信仰的教条，也不是我们的姓氏源于何处。
使我们与众不同——使我们成为美国人——的，是我们对一个在两个多世纪以前发表的宣言中所表述的理念：―we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, thatthey are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among theseare life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.‖―我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的：人人生而平等，他们都从他们的造物主那里被赋予了某些不可剥夺的权利，包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。
奥巴马第二任期就职演讲
奥巴马第二任期就职演讲美国当地时间2013年1月21日11时55分（北京时间00时55分），奥巴马在国会山宣誓就职美国总统，正式开启第二任期。
此次就职演说持续20分钟，全文如下：副总统拜登、首席法官、美国国会议员、尊敬的客人和美国同胞们：每次聚在一起举行总统就职仪式时，我们总能见证到宪法经久不衰的力量。
我们肯定民主的承诺。
我们回忆起，团结这个国家的力量不是皮肤的颜色、所信奉的教条或名字的起源。
让我们与众不同、成为美国人的是源自对一个理念的效忠，它早在2个多世纪前就在一份宣言中有过明确表述：“我们认为这一真理是不言自明的：人人生而平等，并由造物主赋予了某些不可转让的权利，其中包括生命、自由和追求幸福的权利。
”今天，为了缩小这些文字意义与当今现实间的差距，我们将继续这场没有尽头的旅程。
因为历史告诉我们，虽然这些真理也许不言自明，但它们从不会自动生效；虽然自由是来自上帝的礼物，但它必须由地球上的子民们去争取。
1776年的爱国者们不是为了用少数人的特权或乌合之众的法则取代国王的暴政而战斗。
他们给予我们的是一个共和国、一个民有、民治、民享的政府，并委托每一代人去捍卫我们的建国理念。
两百多年来，我们一直如此。
通过皮鞭抽打和刀剑割划流出的鲜血，我们学到，没有哪个建立在自由平等原则上的联盟能够容忍半奴隶半自由的状态。
我们重塑自我，并发誓一同前进。
我们一同决定，一个现代经济体需要铁路和高速路来促进旅游和商务，需要学校和大学来培训我们的工人。
我们一同发现，一个自由市场只有当规则能确保公平竞争时才能够繁荣。
我们一同下定决定，一个伟大的国家必须照顾弱者，并保护他们不受到生活最恶劣的伤害和不幸。
通过以上所有，我们从未放弃过对中央集权的质疑，也未曾对光靠政府就能解决所有社会弊病的幻想有过屈服。
对首创精神和进取精神的歌颂、对勤劳和责任的坚持已经成为我们性格中无法改变的一部分。
但是我们一直懂得，当时代改变时，我们也必须做出相应的改变：忠于建国原则需要我们以新的方式应对新的挑战；保证个人自由最终需要我们采取集体行动。

奥巴马就职演讲全文
奥巴马就职演讲全文:凝聚力量重塑美国据美国媒体报道，当地时间1月20日上午12点05分(北京时间21日凌晨1点05分)第44届美国总统奥巴马发表了就职演说。
奥巴马说，美国仍然是年轻的国家，但这个时代受到挑战，我们必须凝聚力量，重新塑造美国。
以下为奥巴马演讲全文：同胞们：我今天站在这里，深感面前使命的重大，深谢你们赋予的信任，并铭记我们前辈所付的代价。
我感谢布什总统对国家的贡献以及他在整个过渡阶段给予的大度合作。
至此，有四十四个美国人发出总统誓言。
这些字词曾在蒸蒸日上的繁荣时期和宁静安详的和平年代诵读。
但是间或，它们也响彻在阴云密布、风暴降临的时刻。
美国能够历经这些时刻而勇往直前，不仅因为当政者具有才干或远见，而且也因为“我们人民”始终坚信我们先辈的理想，对我们的建国理念忠贞不渝。
这是过来之路。
这是这一代美国的必由之路。
我们处于危机之中，这一点已得到充分认识。
我国在进行战争，打击分布广泛的暴力和仇恨势力。
我们的经济严重衰弱，部分归咎于一些人的贪婪不轨，同时也因为我们作为一个整体，未能痛下决心，让国家作好面对新时代的准备。
如今，住房不再，就业减少，商业破产。
医疗保健费用过度昂贵；学校质量没有保障；而每一天都在不断显示，我们使用能源的方式在助长敌人的威风，威胁我们的星球。
这些是危机的迹象，数据统计将予以证明。
不易于衡量然而同样严重的是全国各地受动摇的信心——一种挥之不去的恐惧感，认为美国将不可避免地走下坡路，下一代人不得不放低眼光。
今天，我告诉大家，我们面临的挑战真实存在，并且严重而多重。
它们不可能在一个短时间内被轻易征服。
但是，美国，请记住这句话——它们将被征服。
我们今天聚集在这里是因为我们选择希望而不是恐惧，选择齐心协力而不是冲突对立。
我们今天在这里宣告，让斤斤计较与虚假承诺就此结束，让窒息我国政治为时太久的相互指责和陈词滥调就此完结。
我们仍是一个年轻的国家，但用圣经的话说，现在是抛弃幼稚的时侯了。

2013年奥巴马第二任期就职演说文字稿
Barack Obama's Second Inaugural AddressJanuary 21, 201312:14 PMThe remarks of President Obama, as released by The White House and prepared for delivery:Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional — what makes us American —is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.For more than two hundred years, we have.Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers.Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life's worst hazards and misfortune.Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society's ills can be cured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, are constants in our character.But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we'll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people.This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America's possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it — so long as we seize it together.For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give real meaning to our creed. We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other — through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security — these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries — we must claim its promise. That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure — our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That's what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty. The knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. But we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war, who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends, and we must carry those lessons into this time as well.We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully — not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear. America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice —not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advanceof those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears throughSeneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.It is now our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.That is our generation's task — to make these words, these rights, these values — of Life, and Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness — real for every American. Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time — but it does require us to act in our time.For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today's victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall.My fellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction — and we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service. But the words I spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty, or an immigrant realizes her dream. My oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.They are the words of citizens, and they represent our greatest hope.You and I, as citizens, have the power to set this country's course.You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time — not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals.Let each of us now embrace, with solemn duty and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.Thank you, God Bless you, and may He forever bless these United States of America.。

Inaugural Address by President Barack ObamaUnited States Capitol11:55 A.M. ESTTHE PRESIDENT: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice,members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional -- what makes us American -- is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”Today we continue a never-ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they’ve never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. (Applause.) The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.And for more than two hundred years, we have.Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce, schools and colleges to train our workers.Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured t hrough government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation and one people. (Applause.)This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. (Applause.) An economic recovery has begun. (Applause.) America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together. (Applause.)For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. (Applause.) We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American; she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own. (Applause.)We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. So we must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires.
