奥巴马就职演说中英文Barack Obama Inaugural Speech尊敬的各位嘉宾,市民们,亲爱的美国同胞们:Ladies and gentlemen, fellow citizens, beloved Americans,我此刻站在这里,肩负着美国总统的使命和荣誉,令我感到格外激动。

今天,我们正见证历史的时刻,这是美国梦成真的一刻。

我们共同作证,美国的力量源自我们每一个人,而非单纯依赖一个人。

As I stand here today, entrusted with the duty and honor of the Presidency, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of excitement. Today, we bear witness to a moment in history; a moment when the American dream becomes a reality. Together, we affirm that the strength of America lies not in one person, but in every individual among us.我向上一届的总统乔治·W·布什表示感谢,我们虽然意见不同,但我们是同一个国家的一员。

我们正面临着重大的挑战,不断变化着的世界需要我们共同努力迈向更好的未来。

我们将遵循我们的价值观,尊重我们的传统,并秉持我们的信仰,这些将引领我们向前。

I would like to express my gratitude to the previous President, George W. Bush. Though we may have had differences in opinions, we are all members of the same nation. We face significant challenges, as the world constantly evolves and demands our collective effort towards a better future. Guided by our values, grounded in our traditions, and sustained by our beliefs, we will move forward.在我们的国家历史上,我们曾经相信我们的国家可以战胜一切困难,对未来充满无限希望。

奥巴马就职演讲稿(原文及翻译)(3)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 honor 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.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.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 theknowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.This is the price and the promise of citizenship.This is the source of our confidence -- the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.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 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.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:"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]."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 forththat great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.【奥巴马就职中文版(供参考)】各位同胞:今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。

奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)

奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)
因為即使政府尽最大努力﹐尽最大义务﹐这个国家最终仍得依靠每个美国人的信念和决心。这种力量是洪灾泛滥时﹐陌生人间的温情善举﹔是人们寧可裁减工时也要保全朋友工作共同度过经济最困难时期的无私忘我﹔这是消防员们毅然冲入浓烟火海的无畏勇气﹐也是父母培养孩子的无私之心﹐孩子最终决定我们的命运\。
或许﹐我们今日面临着全新的挑战﹐我们迎接挑战的工具完全陌生。但是﹐我们赖以走向成功的价值观──勤劳、诚\实、勇敢、公正、宽容、好奇、忠诚\和爱国──从未改变。这些价值观是真实的。它们是推动我们歷史进步的沉默的力量。我们所需的就是回归这些真实的价值。如今我们需要的是一个勇於负责的新时代。人人都需要认识到﹐我们对自己﹐对国家乃至整个世界﹐都负有责任。我们不会抱怨﹐而会欣然接受这份责任﹐坚信没有什麼能比承担艰巨的任务更让人的精神充实﹐更能塑造我们的性格。
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﹐而是要靠我们努力争取。我们从不抄捷径﹐也不会退而求其次。我们的歷程不属於那些胆怯懦弱、享受安逸或追逐名利之人。这条歷程属於勇於承担风险者﹐属於实干家和创造者﹐他们中的一些人名留青史﹐但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嶇的旅途﹐带领我们走向富强和自由。
现在﹐有人质疑我们的目标是不是太大了﹐他们说我们的系统无法承受过多的宏大计划。他们太健忘了。因為他们忘了这个国家曾经取得过怎样的成绩﹐他们已经忘了当想象力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合到一起时﹐自由的人民所能发挥的能量。
这些怀疑论者不能理解美国正在发生的改变﹐曾长期耗费我们精力的陈腐政治争议已不被接受。如今我们提出的问题不是美国政府规模是太大还是太小﹐而是它是否发挥应用的作用、是否能帮助美国家庭找到收入理想的工作、可以担负得起的医疗服务和足够安度晚年的退休储蓄。如果答案是肯定的﹐那麼我们要继续执行这些政策﹐如果答案是否定的﹐那麼我们就结束这些政策。我们当中所有管理公共资金的人要负起责任﹐要精打细算、革除陋习﹐并确保我们的工作受到公眾监督﹐唯有这样﹐人民与政府之间至关重要的信任才能得以恢復。

2008-11-06 17:13:10如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑,还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活,还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量,那么今晚,这些问题都有了答案。

这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案;是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案,其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样,认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。

这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案——无论老少贫富,无论是民主党还是共和党,无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民,是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人——我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营,我们是美利坚合众国这个整体,永远都是。

长久以来,很多人一再受到告诫,要对我们所能取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能事,但这个答案让这些人伸出手来把握历史,再次让它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

已经过去了这么长时间,但今晚,由于我们在今天、在这场大选中、在这个具有决定性的时刻所做的,美国已经迎来了变革。

我刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。

他在这场大选中经过了长时间的努力奋斗,而他为自己所深爱的这个国家奋斗的时间更长、过程更艰辛。

他为美国做出了我们大多数人难以想像的牺牲,我们的生活也因这位勇敢无私的领袖所做出的贡献而变得更美好。

我向他和佩林州长所取得的成绩表示祝贺,我也期待着与他们一起在未来的岁月中为复兴这个国家的希望而共同努力。

我要感谢我在这次旅程中的伙伴——已当选美国副总统的拜登。

他全心参与竞选活动,为普通民众代言,他们是他在斯克兰顿从小到大的伙伴,也是在他回特拉华的火车上遇到的男男女女。

如果没有一个人的坚决支持,我今晚就不会站在这里,她是我过去16年来最好的朋友、是我们一家人的中坚和我一生的挚爱,更是我们国家的下一位第一夫人:米歇尔?奥巴马(Michelle Obama)。

萨莎(Sasha)和玛丽亚(Malia),我太爱你们两个了,你们已经得到了一条新的小狗,它将与我们一起入驻白宫。

奥巴马第一次就职演说全文

奥巴马第一次就职演说全文

奥巴马第一次就职演说全文巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)于20xx年1月20日宣誓就职美国第44任总统。

那么奥巴马第一次就职作何演说?以下是小编给大家分享了美奥巴马第一次就职演说全文,希望大家有帮助。

奥巴马第一次就职演说全文我的同胞们:我今天站在这里,我们面临的任务使我谦逊,我感谢你们的信任,我会谨记我们的祖辈所承受的牺牲。

我感谢布什总统为我们国家作出的服务,感谢他在过渡期间所展示的慷慨与合作。

如今已有44位美国人宣誓成为总统。

这些誓言曾在繁荣的高潮以及平静时期说过。

然而,这些誓言也常常会遭遇愁云惨雾和狂风暴雨。

在这些时刻,美国继续前进,这不仅是因为那些身居高位者的技巧或者远见,而且因为我们的人民仍然终于祖辈们的理念,并忠于我们的立国文件。

一直如此。

这一代的美国人也必须如此。

奥巴马第一次就职演说我们都明白我们现在处于危机当中。

我们的国家处于战争状态,与一个影响深远的、暴力与仇恨的网络作战。

我们的经济遭到严重削弱,这是部分人贪婪和不负责任的后果,但也因为我们作为一个集体没能作出艰难选择,为新时代作好准备。

有人失去了家园;就业减少;企业倒闭。

我们的医疗过于昂贵;我们的学校有太多缺陷;每一天都有更多证据证明我们使用能源的方法助长了我们的敌人,威胁了我们的地球。

这些是危机的指示灯,可以用数据和统计说明。

不那么容易衡量的、但同样深刻的是我国信心的削弱——一种焦灼,担心美国的衰退是一种必然,而且下一代必须降低期望。

今天,我要告诉你们,我们面临的挑战是真实的。

它们是严重的,而且数量众多。

我们无法轻易解决它们,无法在短期内解决它们。

但知道这一点,美国——它们将得到解决。

今天,我们聚集在一起,是因为我们选择希望而不是选择恐惧,选择团结目标而不是冲突和不协调。

今天,我们宣布结束琐碎的委屈、虚伪的承诺、互相揭丑、陈旧的教条,这些东西扼杀我们政治的时间太长久了。

我们仍然是一个年轻的国家,但摆脱幼稚的时机已经来临。

奥巴马就职总统演讲稿

奥巴马就职总统演讲稿

奥巴马就职总统演讲稿[正文开始]尊敬的各位,亲爱的美国同胞:今天,我站在这里,向全世界庄严宣誓,成为美利坚合众国第44任总统。

这一时刻无比庄重,却也承载着无尽的激动和责任。

我心中充满了深深的谦卑之情,因为我知道,这个国家赋予我了巨大的信任和期望。

我跟随的前辈总统们,带领我们的国家度过了许多艰难的时刻,他们为我们树立了高度的标杆,同时也为我树立了巨大的压力。

我诚挚地感谢他们的领导和奉献。

此刻,我们的国家正面临着前所未有的挑战和机遇。

经济危机、全球变暖、国际恐怖主义等问题摆在了我们面前。

在这个伟大的国家中,我们需要团结一心,共同面对这些挑战,为我们的子孙后代创造一个更美好的未来。

正如我在竞选演讲中所言:“我们面临的问题不亚于我们拥有的希望。

”这是我们的时代,这是你们的时代。

我们不能因为困难而退缩,而是要拿出勇气和智慧,勇往直前。

作为第一位非洲裔美国总统,我深深感受到了美国的多元和包容。

我们是一个由不同肤色、不同宗教、不同文化背景的人们组成的国家。

这是我们的力量,也是我们的独特之处。

我们将不分彼此,团结起来,共同迎接我们的未来。

为了实现我们的目标,我们需要对话和合作。

我们需要跨越党派之间的分歧,寻求共同利益的最佳解决方案。

我们需要恢复世界对美国的信任和尊重,坚持以和平与合作的方式处理国际事务。

我们的敌人应该知道,我们将坚定地捍卫我们的国家和价值观。

但是,我们也要明确,在保卫我们的利益的同时,我们将始终致力于寻求和平解决问题。

我们将尊重不同国家和民族的主权,推动国际社会的和平与发展。

我相信,一个更强大、更繁荣、更平等的美国不仅仅是可能的,而且是有可能实现的。

我们将努力推动经济的复苏,创造更多的就业机会。

我们将加强教育、科技和环境保护,提高我们的国家在全球的竞争力。

在这个历史性的时刻,让我们携起手来,为了我们共同的未来而努力奋斗。

相信我们的力量,坚持我们的信念,我们将不负众望,成就我们的国家和人民。

最后,我要向那些为我们的国家付出生命的军人、警察、消防员表示崇高的敬意。

奥巴马总统就职演说全文

这些,是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。而更难以衡量但同样意义深远的是美国人自信心的丧失──现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免,我们的下一代必须降低期待的恐惧正在吞噬着我们的自信。
奥巴马总我站在这里,面对眼前的任务,深感责任重大。感谢你们给予我的信任,我也清楚前辈们为这个国家所作的牺牲。我要感谢布什总统对国家的服务,感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给予的慷慨协作。 时至今日,已有44位美国总统宣誓就职。总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣,有时面临的是狂风骤雨的紧张形势。在这种时刻,支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见,更是美国人民对先驱者理想的坚定信仰,以及对美国建国宣言的忠诚。
过去是这样,我们这一代美国人也要如此。
我们都很清楚,我们正处于危机之中。我们的国家正在对触角广泛的暴力和仇恨网络宣战。国家的经济也受到了严重的削弱,这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果,但在做出艰难选择和准备迎接新时代方面,我们出现了集体性的失误。家园失去了;工作丢掉了;商业萧条了。我们的医疗卫生耗资巨大;我们的学校让许多人失望;每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大,并且威胁到了我们整个星球。

奥巴马就职演说全文

奥巴马就职演说全文

奥巴马就职演说全文北京时间1月22日凌晨,贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马宣誓就职第四十四任美利坚合众国总统并发表就职演说。

奥巴马在演讲中追溯美国民主传统和宪法精神,强调了民众的力量。

演讲中涉及了包括就业、医保、移民和同性恋等多项议题,以下为奥巴马就职演说全文:谢谢,非常感谢大家。

拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。

每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。

我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。

我们重申,将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们的肤色,也不是我们信仰的教条,更不是我们名字的来源。

让我们与众不同,让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。

200多年前,这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述:“我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的,人人生而平等。

造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,包括生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。

”今天,我们继续着这一未竟的征程,架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。

因为历史告诉我们,即便这些真理是不言而喻的,它们也从来不会自动生效。

因为虽然自由是上帝赋予的礼物,但仍需要世间的子民去捍卫。

1776年,美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王的暴政而战,也不是为赢得少数人的特权,建立暴民的统治。

先驱们留给我们一个共和国,一个民有、民治、民享的政府。

他们委托每一代美国人捍卫我们的建国信条。

在过去的200多年里,我们做到了。

从奴役的血腥枷锁和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了,建立在自由与平等原则之上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由的状态。

我们赢得了新生,誓言共同前进。

我们共同努力,建立起现代的经济体系。

架设铁路与高速公路,加速了旅行和商业交流。

建立学校与大学,培训我们的工人。

我们一起发现,自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。

我们共同决定让这个伟大的国家远离危险,保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸的侵扰。

一路走来,我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。

我们同样不屈服于这一谎言:一切的社会弊端都能够只靠政府来解决。

美国总统奥巴马就职演说稿全文

美国总统奥巴马就职演说稿全文

美国总统奥巴马就职演说稿全文美国总统奥巴马就职演说稿全文同胞们:我今天站在这里,因为面前的任务而感到谦卑,因为你们的信任而心存感激,同时铭记先辈们做所出的巨大牺牲。

感谢布什总统为这个国家做出的贡献,同时也谢谢他在整个政权交接期间表现出的慷慨与合作。

迄今已经有44名美国人宣誓就任总统。

这些誓词曾出现在繁荣的上升趋势和如水般平静的和平中,当然,也经常会出现在乌云密布和狂风暴雨之时。

在这各种时刻,美国一直在继续前行,这不仅仅是因为执政的技巧或者有先见之明,而是因为我们的人民一直在坚守先辈们的理想,忠实履行我们的建国宣言。

过去是这样,这一代的美国人仍将会坚持这样做。

众所周知,我们目前正处在危机之中。

我们的国家正在对暴力和仇恨宣战。

我们的经济也被严重削弱,这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果,但在做出艰难选择和准备迎接新时代方面,我们出现了集体性的失误。

房屋失去了;工作丢掉了;商业萧条了;我们的卫生保健耗资巨大;我们太多的学校不合格;每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大,并且威胁到了我们整个星球。

这些数据和统计都是危机的表现特征。

虽然无法具备测量,但产生的深远影响是我们的信心受到了侵蚀--担心美国的衰退不可避免,担心下一代会降低他们的期待。

今天我要向你们说的是,我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。

这些挑战很多,而且非常严重,它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就能得以解决。

但大家也必须认识到,美国,终将会解决这些困难。

今天,我们聚集在这里,是因为我选择用希望来战胜恐惧,用团结来战胜冲突与分歧。

今天,我们来到这里将结束悲戚和错误的承诺,抛弃指责和教条主义这些扼杀我们政治的东西。

我们仍然是一个年轻的国家,但现在应该摒弃充满孩子气的行为,重申我们不朽的精神;选择我们更好的历史;宏扬那些珍贵而且高尚的理念,并将这一代一代地传递下去。

上帝认为天下众生皆平等,众生皆自由,而且都应该拥有追求幸福的机会。

在重申我们国家的伟大时,我们必须明白,伟大绝对不会是一种馈赠,而是要靠我们去努力争取。

奥巴马就职演讲全文

奥巴马就职演讲全文奥巴马就职演讲全文亲爱的同胞们:今天我站在这里,为我们将面对的任重道远而慨叹。

感谢你们对我寄托的信任,同时缅怀我们的前人所做出的牺牲。

感谢布什总统为美国做出的贡献,以及他在总统任期交叠过程中的慷慨合作。

至此,共有四十四位美国人曾进行过总统宣誓。

这一誓言曾在国家和平、欣欣向荣时做出过。

然而这一誓词更曾在乌云笼罩和风暴袭来之时被宣读。

美国人民之所以能够走过那些艰难的时刻,不仅仅是因为领袖的能力或远见;更是因为我们,我们人民,保持着对先人理想的忠诚,对我们国家创始文件的追随。

对于我们这一代美国人来说,也是这样,也必须这样。

国家正面临危机,这一点大家已经没有疑问。

美国处在战争之中,面对一个有巨大影响力、充满暴-力和仇恨的网络。

我们的经济严重衰退。

这来源于部分人的贪婪和不负责任,更由于作为一个整体,我们未能做出面对一个新时代的艰难决策。

人民失去房屋、工作机会减少、商业活动遭到破坏。

医疗保障过于昂贵,学校教育系统出现太多失败。

而我们对能源的使用,日益让对手强大,与此同时又威胁着我们的星球。

这些,是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。

还有难以度量但同样深远的问题,那就是整个国家信心的缺失。

那萦绕在我们头上的恐惧,认为美国的衰败不可避免,认为我们的下一代人不可能再有太高的期望。

今天我要对你们说,我们面临的挑战是真切的、严重的,而且有很多重。

解决他们不可能很轻松,也不可能在短时间内发生。

但美国人民,请记住这一点:这些挑战会被解决。

今天,我们聚集在一起,因为我们选择了希望而不是恐惧;我们选择了为共同的目标团结在一起,而不是冲突与争执。

今天,我们共同终结那些虚假的承诺、陈腐的教条、以及指摘与怨言。

这些已经困扰了我们的政治体系太长时间。

我们的国家仍旧年轻,但借用圣经中的话,该是抛开那些孩子气的时候了。

现在,需要重新拿出我们的坚韧精神,选择自己的历史。

我们要延续代代相传的宝贵礼物,延续神圣的理想,那就是上帝赐予我们的承诺--人人平等,人人自由,人人都有机会去追求最大程度的幸福。

整理奥巴马就职演讲全文

整理奥巴马就职演讲全文

第44任美国总统奥巴马就职演说美国东部时间1月20日中午12时左右,美国第44任总统贝拉克-奥巴马发表就职演说,全文如下:各位同胞:今天我站在这里,为眼前的重贵大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。

我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务,也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。

1十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言,这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表,或是在乌云密布,时局动荡之时。

在艰困的时候,美国能箕裘相继,不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景,也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心,也忠於创建我国的法统。

此,美国才能承继下来。

因此,这一代美国人也必须承继下去。

现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心,我国正在与四处蔓延的暴力和憎恨作战。

我们的经济元气大伤一一这既是某些人贪婪且不负责任的篌果,也是大众未能做出艰难的选择,对国家进入新时代做准备不足所致。

许多人失去房子,丢了工作,生意萧条。

我们的医疗太昂贵,学校教育让人失望。

每天都有更多证据显示,我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌,威胁我们的星球。

这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。

比较无法测量但同样深沉的,是举国信心尽失一一持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。

今天我要告诉各位,我们面临的挑战是真的,挑战非常严重,且不在少数。

它们不是可以轻易,或在短时间内解决。

但是,美国要了解,这些挑战会被解决。

在这一天,我们聚在一起,因为我们选择希望而三厢惧,有意义的团结时隔争和不合。

在这一天,我们来此宣示,那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结,那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。

我们仍是个年轻的国家,但借用圣经的话,摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了,重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了,选择我们更好的历史,实践那种代代传承的珍贵权利,那种高贵的理念:就是上帝的应许,我们每个人都是平等的,每个人都是自由的,每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。

再次肯定我们国家的伟大,我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来,必须努力达成。

奥巴马就职演讲全文中英文版090121第一篇:奥巴马就职演讲全文中英文版 090121奥巴马就职演说全文(英文版)Barack Obama’s Inaugural AddressMy fellow citizens: 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.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.So it has been.So it must be with this generation of Americans.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 health care 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.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics.Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our landthey will be met.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope overfear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.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.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 1 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.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-heartedsome celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.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 Sanh.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 individual ambitions;greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.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 remainsundiminished.But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisionsnot 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 health care’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.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitionsthat 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 worksto spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of dayand that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors 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 of our prosperity;on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing hearteven 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 apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you 3 now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken;you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not aweakness.We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindusknow 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.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 w e consume the world’s resources without regard to effect.For the world has changed, and we must change with it.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 honor 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 momentit is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.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 t o storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.Our challenges may be new.The instruments with which we meet them may be new.But thosevalues upon which our success dependsthese 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 responsibilitythe knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.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.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 peop le: “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].” 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.奥巴马就职演讲全文:凝聚力量重塑美国2009年01月21日02:08奥巴马发表就职演讲据美国媒体报道,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。

美国第44届总统奥巴马就职演说词全文

美国第44届总统奥巴马就职演说词全文

美国第44届总统奥巴马就职演说词全文按语:美国总统奥巴马1961年8月4日出生于夏威夷。

父亲是肯尼亚一名黑人经济学家,母亲是美国一名白人女教师。

父母在奥巴马两岁的时候分手,在听说父亲1982年在肯尼亚死于车祸前,奥巴马只见过父亲一次,奥巴马跟着母亲和姥姥姥爷长大。

奥巴马的就职演说注定要载入史册:第一位黑人总统——实现了马丁·路德·金的梦想;美国正经历着1929年以来最严重的经济危机,美国人民,甚至全世界,都拭目以待!同胞们:今天,我站在这里,真是诚惶诚恐,因为摆在我们面前的任务十分艰巨。

对我的信任,我很感激,我更不敢忘记我们的祖先所付出的牺牲。

我还要感谢布什总统为我们这个国家所作出的贡献,还有他在总统权力交接过程中所表现出的大度与合作精神。

迄今为止,已有四十四名美国人在这里宣誓就任总统。

在经济发展潮起潮涌的繁荣时期,在风平浪静的和平时期,这样的宣誓,我们有过;然而,好些时候,总统的宣誓却是在风起云涌的历史关头进行的。

每到这样的历史关头,美国都坚强地走过来了。

我们所仰仗的,并不是身处高位者的政治技巧或远见卓识,而是我们美国人民一直都没有忘记先辈们的崇高理想,是人民对我们立国之本的信赖。

是的,我们的誓言历来如此。

是的,我们这一代美国人,还将继续谨守这一伟大誓言。

大家都很清楚,我们正处于经济危机之中。

我们的国家正在为反抗暴力与仇恨而战,我们的斗争,任重而道远。

我们的经济严重衰退,之所以如此,既有贪婪和缺乏责任心的原因,也有集体错误的原因。

这些错误,是我们在不得不作出艰难抉择的时候,在为使我国进入新的发展阶段而奋斗的过程中产生的。

住房没了,工作丢了,生意停了。

我们的医疗费用太高了,我们的学校很多也不行了。

我们还能明显看到,我们的能源消耗方式只能让我们雪上加霜,对我们这个星球也造成了很大威胁。

所有这些,都是经济危机的反映,这些还是有资料,也有数据来佐证的。

还有一些方面,则难以用数字来说明问题,但其严重性却同样不可忽视,那就是整个国家的自信心还在不断削弱——大家都在暗自担心,美国的下滑是不可避免的,下一代人的眼界必须得降低。

President Obama's Second Inaugural Address奥巴马连任就职演讲全文Here is the full text of President Barack Obama's second inaugural address on Jan. 21, 2013, as prepared for delivery:2013年1月21日,美国总统奥巴马宣誓就职,开始第二任期。

以下是就职演讲全文。

Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:副总统拜登、首席大法官先生、国会议员、各位嘉宾、公民们: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:每一次我们聚在一起见证总统就职,我们都在见证美国宪法的持久力量。

奥巴马就职讲话全文

奥巴马就职讲话全文

奥巴马就职演讲全文谢谢大家,拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。

每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。

我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。

我们重申,将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们皮肤的颜色,也不是我们信仰的教条,更不是我们族名的来源。

让我们与众不同,让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。

200多年前,这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述:“我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的,人人生而平等。

造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。

”今天,我们继续着这一未竟的征程,来架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。

因为历史告诉我们,即使这些真理是不言而喻的,它们也从来不会自动生效。

因为虽然自由是上帝赋予的礼物,但仍然需要世间的子民去捍卫。

1776年,美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王的暴政而战,也不是为赢得少数人的特权,建立暴民的统治。

先驱们留给我们一个共和国,一个民有、民治、民享的政府。

他们委托每一代美国人保卫我们的建国信条。

在过去的200百多年里,我们做到了。

从奴役的血腥绳索,和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了,建立在自由与平等原则之上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由的状态。

我们赢得了新生,誓言共同前进。

我们共同努力,建立起现代的经济体系。

架设铁路与高速公路,加速了旅行和商业交流。

建立学校与大学,培训我们的工人。

我们一起发现,自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。

我们共同下决心让这个伟大的国家远离危险,保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸侵扰。

一路走来,我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。

我们同样不屈服于这一谎言:一切的社会弊端都能够只靠政府来解决。

我们对积极向上与奋发进取的赞扬,我们对努力工作与个人责任的坚持,这些都是美国精神的基本要义。

我们也理解,时代在变化,我们同样要变革。

对建国精神的忠诚,需要我们肩负起新的责任,迎接新的挑战。

保护我们的个人自由,最终需要所有人的共同努力。

奥巴马演讲原文(合集5篇)

奥巴马演讲原文(合集5篇)第一篇:奥巴马演讲原文2012 02 25 Hello, everybody.In the State of the Union, I laid out three areas we need to focus on if we’re going to build an economy that lasts: new American manufacturing, new skills and education for American workers, and new sources of American-made energy.These days, we’re getting another painful reminder why developing new energy is so important to our future.Just like they did last year, gas prices are starting to climb.Only this time, it’s happening earlier.And that hurts everyone –everyone who owns a car;everyone who owns a business.It means you have to stretch your paycheck even further.Some folks have no choice but to drive a long way to work, and high gas prices are like a tax straight out of their paychecks.Now, some politicians always see this as a political opportunity.And since it’s an election year, they’re already dusting off their three-point plans for $2 gas.I’ll save you the suspense: Step one is drill, step two is drill, and step three is keep drilling.We hear the same thing every year.Well the American people aren’t stupid.You know that’s not a plan – especially since we’re already drilling.It’s a bumper sticker.It’s not a strategy to solve our energy challenge.It’s a strategy to get politicians through an election.You know there are no quick fixes to this problem, and you know we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices.If we’re going to take control of our energy future and avoid these gas price spikes down the line, then we need a sustained, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels, and more.We need to keep developing the technologythat allows us to use less oil in our cars and trucks;in our buildings and plants.That’s the strategy we’re pursuing, and that’s the only real solution to this challenge.Now, we absolutely need safe, responsible oil production here in America.That’s why under my Administration, America is producing more oil today than at any time in the last eight years.In 2010, our dependence on foreign oil was under 50% for the first time in more than a decade.And while there are no short-term silver bullets when it comes to gas prices, I’ve directed my administration to look for every single area where we can make an impact and help consumers in the months ahead, from permitting to delivery bottlenecks to what’s going on in the oil markets.But over the long term, an all-of-the-above energy strategy means we have to do more.It means we have to make some choices.Here’s one example.Right now, four billion of your tax dollars subsidize the oil industry every year.Four billion dollars.Imagine that.Maybe some of you are listening to this in your car right now, pulling into a gas station to fill up.As you watch those numbers rise, know that oil company profits have never been higher.Yet somehow, Congress is still giving those same companies another four billion dollars of your money.That’s outrageous.It’s inexcusable.And it has to stop.A century of subsidies to the oil companies is long enough.It’s time to end taxpayer giveaways to an industry that’s never been more profitable, and use that money to reduce our deficit and double-down on a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising.Because of the investments we’ve already made, the use of wind and solar energy in this country has nearly doubled –and thousands of Americans have jobs because of it.And because we put in place the toughest fuel economy standards in history, our cars willaverage nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade – something that, over time, will save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump.Now Congress needs to keep that momentum going by renewing the clean energy tax credits that will lead to more jobs and less dependence on foreign oil.Look, we know there’s no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight.But what we can do is get our priorities straight, and make a sustained, serious effort to tackle this problem.That’s the commitment we need right now.And with your help, it’s a commitment we can make.Thank you.2012 02 18 Hello, everybody.I’m speaking to you this week from the Boeing Plant in Everett, Washington.Boeing has been in this community for half a century.But it’s what they’re doing here today that has folks really excited;because at this plant they’re building the plane of the future –the Dreamliner.It’s an impressive sight.And, to be honest, part of why I came was to see it up close.But I also came because this is a great example of how we can bring jobs and manufacturing back to America.You see, the last few decades haven’t been easy for manufacturing in this country.New technology has made businesses more efficient and productive –and that’s good –but it’s also made a lot of jobs obsolete.The result has been painful for a lot of families and communities.Factories where people thought they’d retire have left town.Jobs that provided a decent living have been shipped overseas.And the hard truth is that a lot of those jobs aren’t coming back.But that doesn’t mean we have to settle for a lesser future.I don’t accept that idea.In America, there’s always something we can do to create new jobs and new manufacturing and new security for the middle-class.In America, we don’t giveup, we get up.Right now, that’s exactly what we’re doing.Over the past 23 months, businesses have created 3.7 million new jobs.And manufacturers are hiring for the first time since the 1990s.It’s now getting more expensive to do business in places like China.Meanwhile, America is more productive than ever.And companies like Boeing are realizing that even when we can’t make things cheaper than China, we can make things be tter.That’s how we’re going to competeglobally.For Boeing, business right now is st year, orders for commercial aircraft rose by more than 50 percent.To meet that rising demand, they’ve put thousands of folks to work all over the country.We want to see more of this.We need to make it as easy as we can for our companies to create more jobs in America, not overseas.And that starts with our tax code.No company should get a tax break for outsourcing jobs.Instead, tax breaks should go to manufacturers who set up shop here at home.Bigger tax breaks should go to high-tech manufacturers who create the jobs of the future.And if you relocate your company to a struggling community, you should get help financing that new plant, that new equipment, or training for new workers.It’s time to stop rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas, and start rewarding businesses that create jobs here in America.And Congress should send me that kind of tax reform right away.Another thing we’re doing is to make it easier fo r companies like Boeing to sell their products all over the world, because more exports mean more jobs.Two years ago, I set a goal of doubling U.S.exports over five years.And we’re on track to meet that goal – ahead of schedule.We have a big opportunity right now to build not only an economy that will help us succeed today, but an economy that will help our kids and their kidssucceed tomorrow.We know what we need to do.We need to strengthen American manufacturing.We need to invest in American-made energy and new skills for American workers.And above all, we need to renew the values that have always made this country great: Hard work.Fair play.Shared responsibility.We can do this.Ask the folks in Everett.Right here, a few years ago, the first Dreamliner took off on its maiden trip.Thousands of employees came to watch.One was an executive office administrator named Sharon O’Hara.As Sharon saw that first plane take flight – a result of so much hard work – she got goose bumps.In her words, she said, “We said we would do it and we did.” That’s the story of America.We said we would do it, and we did.That’s the can-do spirit that makes us who we are.We’ve seen challenging times before.But we always emerge from them stronger.And that’s what we’re going to do again today.Thanks, and have a great weekend.2012 02 11 Hello, everybody.In recent weeks, we’ve seen signs that our economy is growing stronger and creating jobs at a faster clip.While numbers and figures will go up and down in the coming months, what cannot waver is our resolve to do everything in our power to keep stoking the fires of the recovery.And the last thing we should do is let Washington stand in the way.You see, at the end of the month, taxes are set to go up on 160 million working Americans.If you’re o ne of them, then you know better than anyone that the last thing you need right now is a tax hike.But if Congress refuses to act, middle class taxes will go up.It’s that simple.Now, if this sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve been here before.Back in December, Congress faced this exact same predicament.Ultimately, thanks to your voices, they did the right thing –but only after a great deal of bickering and politicalposturing that put the strength of our economy and the security of middle class families at risk.We can’t go through that again.Congress needs to stop this middle class tax hike from happening.Period.No drama.No delay.And no ideological side issues that have nothing to do with this tax cut.Now is not the time for self-inflicted wounds to our recovery.Now is the time for common-sense action.And this tax cut is common-sense.If you’re a family making about $50,000 a year, this tax cut amounts to about $1,000 a year.That’s about $40 in every paycheck.I know there are some folks in this town who think $40 isn’t a lot of money.But to a student or a senior who’s trying to stretch the budget a little bit further? To a parent who’s filling up the tank and looking at rising gas prices? To them, $40 can make all the difference in the world.And so can your voice.I hope you’ll pick up the phone, send a tweet, write an email, and tell your representative that they should get this done before it gets too late.Tell them not to play politics again by linking this debate to unrelated issues.Tell them not to manufacture another needless standoff or crisis.Tell them not to stand in the way of the recovery.Tell them to just do their job.That’s what our middle class needs.That’s what our country needs.In the wake of the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, we’re getti ng things going again.And we’re going to keep at it until everyone shares in America’s comeback.Thanks, and have a great weekend.2012 02 04 Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been traveling around the country and talking with folks about my blueprint for an economy built to last.It’s a blueprint that focuses on restoring the things we’ve always done best.Our strengths.American manufacturing.American energy.The skills and education of American workers.most importantly, American values likefairness and responsibility.We know what happened when we strayed from those values over the past decade – especially when it comes to our housing market.Lenders sold loans to families who couldn’t afford them.Banks packaged those mortgages up and traded them for phony profits.It drove up prices and created an unsustainable bubble that burst – and left millions of families who did everything right in a world of hurt.Itwas wrong.The housing crisis has been the single biggest drag on our recovery from the recession.It has kept millions of families in debt and unable to spend, and it has left hundreds of thousands of construction workers out of a job.But there’s something even more important at stake.I’ve been saying this is a make-or-break moment for the middle class.And the housing crisis struck right at the heart of what it means to be middle-class in this country: owning a home.Raising our kids.Building our dreams.Rightnow, there are more than 10 million homeowners in this country who, because of a decline in home prices that is no fault of their own, owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth.Now, it is wrong for anyone to suggest that the only option for struggling, responsible homeowners is to sit and wait for the housing market to hit bottom.I don’t accept tha t.None of us should.That’s why we launched a plan a couple years ago that’s helped nearly one million responsible homeowners refinance their mortgages and save an average of $300 on their payments each month.Now, I’ll be the first to admit it didn’t help as many folks as we’d hoped.But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep trying.That’s why I’m sending Congress a plan that will give every responsible homeowner the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgages by refinancing at historically low rates.No more redtape.No more endless forms.And a small fee on the largest financial institutions will make sure it doesn’t add a dime to the deficit.I want to be clear: this plan will not help folks who bought a house they couldn’t afford and then walked away f rom it.It won’t help folks who bought multiple houses just to turn around and sell them in speculation.What this plan will do is help millions of responsible homeowners who make their payments every month, but who, until now, couldn’t refinance because their home values kept dropping or they got wrapped up in too much red tape.But here’s the catch.In order to lower mortgage payments for millions of Americans, we need Congress to act.They’re the ones who have to pass this plan.And as anyone who has followed the news in the last six months can tell you, getting Congress to do anything these days is not an easy job.That’s why I’m going to keep up the pressure on Congress to do the right thing.But I also need your help.I need your voice.I need everyone who agrees with this plan to get on the phone, send an email, tweet, pay a visit, and remind your representatives in Washington who they work for.Tell them to pass this plan.Tell them to help more families keep their homes, and more neighborhoods stay vibrant and whole.The truth is, it will take time for our housing market to recover.It will take time for our economy to fully bounce back.But there are steps we can take, right now, to move this country forward.That’s what I promise to do as your President, and I hope Members of Congress will join me.Thank you, and have a great weekend.2012 01 21 Hello, everybody.On Thursday, I went down to Florida to visit Disneyworld.To Sasha and Malia’s great disappointment, I was not there to hang out with Mickey or ride Space Moun tain.Instead, I was there to talk about steps we’re takingto boost tourism and create jobs.Tourism is the number one service we export.Every year, tens of millions of tourists come from all over the world to visit America.They stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants, and see all the sights America has to offer.That’s good for local businesses.That’s good for local economies.And the more folks who visit America, the more Americans we get back to work.It’s that simple.We can’t wait to seize this opportuni ty.As I’ve said before, I will continue to work with Congress, states, and leaders in the private sector to find ways to move this country forward.But where they can’t act or won’t act, I will.Because we want the world to know that America is open for busi ness.And that’s why I announced steps we’re taking to promote America and make it easier for tourists to come and visit.Frequent travelers who pass an extensive background check will be able to scan their passports and fingerprints and skip long lines at immigration at more airports.We’re going to expand the number of countries where visitors can get pre-cleared by Homeland Security so they don’t need a tourist visa.And we’re going to speed up visa processing for countries with growing middle classes that can afford to visit America – countries like China and Brazil.We want more visitors coming here.We want them spending money here.It’s good for our economy, and it will help provide the boost more businesses need to grow and hire.And we can’t wait to make it happen.T oo often over the last few months, we’ve seen Congress drag its feet and refuse to take steps we know will help strengthen our economy.That’s why this is the latest in a series of actions I’ve taken on my own to help our economy keep growing, creating jobs, and restoring security for middle-class families.In September, we decided to stop waiting for Congress to fix NoChild Left Behind and give states the flexibility they need to help our kids meet higher standards.We made sure that small businesses that have contracts with the Federal Government can get paid faster so they can start hiring more people.We made it easier for veterans to get jobs and put their skills to work.We took steps to help families whose home values have fallen refinance their mortgages and save up to thousands of dollars a year.We sped up the loan process for companies that want to rebuild our roads and bridges –putting construction workers back on the job.And I appointed Richard Cordray to be America’s consumer watchdog and protect working Americans from the worst abuses of the financial industry.These are good steps.Now we need to do more.On Tuesday evening, I’ll deliver my State of the Union Address, where I’ll lay out my blueprint for actions we need to take together – not just me, or Congress, but every American –to rebuild an economy where hard work and responsibility are rewarded.An economy that’s built to last.I hope you’ll tune in.In the meantime, I’m going to keep doing everything I can to make this country not only the best place to visit and do business – but the best place to live and work and build a better life.Thanks for watching.Have a great weekend.And I’ll see you on Tuesday.第二篇:奥巴马竞选演讲原文奥巴马竞选演讲原文SENATOR BARACK OBAMA:(Cheers, applause.)Hello, Chicago.(Cheers, applause.)If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our Founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.(Cheers, applause.)It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled--(cheers)--Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states;we are and always will be the United States of America.(Cheers, applause.)It's the answer that--that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.(Cheers, applause.)A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.(Cheers, applause.)Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine.We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfleleader.(Applause.)I congratulate him, I congratulate Governor palin for all they've achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.(Cheers, applause.)I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and womenhe grew up with on the streets of Scranton, and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.(Cheers, applause.)And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.(Cheers, applause.)Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.(Cheers, applause.)And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I mithem tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.To my sister Maya, my sister Auma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given to me.I am grateful to them.(Cheers, applause.) And to my campaign manager, David plouffe--(cheers, applause)--the unsung hero of this campaign who built the best--(cheers)--the best political campaign I think in the history of the United States of America--(cheers, applause)--to my chief strategist, David Axelrod--(cheers, applause)--who has been a partner with me every step of the way, to the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics--(cheers)--you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.(Cheers, applause.)But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.It belongs to you.(Cheers, applause.)It belongs to you.(Cheers.)I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.We didn't start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington;it began in thebackyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.(Cheers, applause.)It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy--(cheers)--who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and lesleep.It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from the Earth.This is your victory.(Cheers, applause.) Now, I know you didn't do this just to win an election, and I know you didn't do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime: two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year or even in one term, but America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you: We as a people will get there.(Cheers, applause.)AUDIENCE: Yes, we can!Yes, we can!Yes, we can!Yes, we can!Yes, we can!MR.OBAMA: There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know the government can't solve every problem.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of rema-ki-ng this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years--block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek;it is only the chance for us to make that change.第三篇:奥巴马告别演讲中英对照原文中英对照原文: Hello Skybrook!It's good to be home!Thank you, everybody!Thank you.Thank you.Thank you so much, thank you.Thank you.Thank you.It's good to be home.Thank you.你好,芝加哥!回家的感觉真好!谢谢,谢谢大家!(省略N个谢谢)We're on live TV here, I've got to move.我们正在电视直播呢,我要开始演讲了。

奥巴马就职总统演讲稿

奥巴马就职总统演讲稿尊敬的美国人民:今天,我站在这里,怀着无比的敬畏和深深的责任感,开始履行我作为美国总统的职责。

在这个庄严的时刻,我们首先要向那些为了我们的自由和权利而奋斗、牺牲的先辈们致以最崇高的敬意。

是他们的勇气和奉献,铸就了我们今天的国家。

我们共同走过了漫长而曲折的道路。

我们曾面临巨大的挑战,经历过经济的衰退,遭遇过战争的磨难。

但每一次,我们都凭借着坚韧的精神和对未来的信念,重新站起来,继续前行。

如今,我们站在新的起点上。

我们深知,前方的道路依然充满艰难险阻。

但我们也坚信,只要我们团结一心,就没有克服不了的困难。

我们的国家正面临着严峻的经济形势。

许多家庭失去了工作,失去了住房,生活陷入了困境。

我们必须采取果断的行动,创造更多的就业机会,重振经济,让每一个美国人都能过上有尊严的生活。

我们要改革我们的教育体系,让每一个孩子都能接受到优质的教育,无论他们来自富裕的家庭还是贫困的社区。

因为只有教育,才能赋予我们的下一代足够的能力,去迎接未来的挑战。

我们要致力于改善医疗保健制度,让每一个美国人都能享受到负担得起的医疗服务,不再因为疾病而陷入绝望。

同时,我们不能忽视能源问题。

我们必须寻找新的、清洁的能源,减少对外国石油的依赖,保护我们的环境,为子孙后代留下一个美好的地球。

在国际舞台上,我们将以合作和尊重的态度,与其他国家共同应对全球性的挑战。

我们将努力维护世界的和平与稳定,促进各国之间的友好交流与合作。

但我们要明白,这一切的改变,都需要我们每一个人的努力。

政府不能独自完成所有的任务,我们需要企业的创新,需要社会各界的积极参与。

亲爱的同胞们,我们是一个伟大的国家,我们有着无限的潜力。

只要我们怀揣着梦想,只要我们勇敢地追求,我们一定能够实现我们的目标。

让我们携手共进,为了我们的国家,为了我们的未来,为了我们的孩子,努力奋斗!谢谢大家!以上演讲稿仅为示例,您可以根据具体需求进行修改和完善。

在我们国家的历史长河中,这是一个庄严而又充满希望的时刻。

我们的国家,正面临着诸多的挑战和困难。

经济的衰退让许多家庭失去了工作和住所,教育的不足让我们的孩子在未来的竞争中处于劣势,医疗保障的缺失让许多人在疾病面前感到无助。

然而,我坚信,我们有能力,也有决心去战胜这些困难。

同时,我们也要意识到,我们生活在一个相互依存的世界里。

我们的安全和繁荣不仅仅取决于我们自己的努力,也取决于我们与其他国家的合作。

美国东部时间1月20日中午12时左右,美国第44任总统贝拉克-奥巴马发表就职演说,全文如下:各位同胞:今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。

我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务,也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。

四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言,这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表,或是在乌云密布,时局动荡之时。

在艰困的时候,美国能箕裘相继,不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景,也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心,也忠於创建我国的法统。

因此,美国才能承继下来。

因此,这一代美国人也必须承继下去。

现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心,我国正在与四处蔓延的暴力和憎恨作战。

我们的经济元气大伤——这既是某些人贪婪且不负责任的後果,也是大众未能做出艰难的选择,对国家进入新时代做准备不足所致。

许多人失去房子,丢了工作,生意萧条。

我们的医疗太昂贵,学校教育让人失望。

每天都有更多证据显示,我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌,威胁我们的星球。

这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。

比较无法测量但同样深沉的,是举国信心尽失——持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。

今天我要告诉各位,我们面临的挑战是真的,挑战非常严重,且不在少数。

它们不是可以轻易,或在短时间内解决。

但是,美国要了解,这些挑战会被解决。

在这一天,我们聚在一起,因为我们选择希望而非恐惧,有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。

在这一天,我们来此宣示,那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结,那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。

我们仍是个年轻的国家,但借用圣经的话,摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了,重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了,选择我们更好的历史,实践那种代代传承的珍贵权利,那种高贵的理念:就是上帝的应许,我们每个人都是平等的,每个人都是自由的,每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。

再次肯定我们国家的伟大,我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来,必须努力达成。

我们的旅程从来就不是抄捷径或很容易就满足。

这条路一直都不是给不勇敢的人走的,那些偏好逸乐胜过工作,或者只想追求名利就满足的人。

恰恰相反,走这条路的始终是勇於冒险的人,做事的人,成事的人,其中有些人很出名,但更常见的是在各自岗位上的男男女女无名英雄,在这条漫长崎岖的道路上支撑我们,迈向繁荣与自由。

为了我们,他们携带很少的家当,远渡重洋,追寻新生活。

为了我们,他们胼手胝足,在西部安顿下来;忍受风吹雨打,筚路蓝缕。

为了我们,他们奋斗不懈,在康科特和盖茨堡,诺曼地和溪山等地葬身。

前人不断的奋斗与牺牲,直到双手皮开肉绽,我们才能享有比较好的生活。

他们将美国视为大於所有个人企图心总和的整体,超越出身、财富或小圈圈的差异。

这是我们今天继续前进的旅程。

我们仍旧是全球最繁荣强盛的国家。

这场危机爆发时,我们的劳工生产力并未减弱。

我们的心智一样创新,我们的产品和劳务和上周或上个月或去年相比,一样是必需品。

我们的能力并未减损。

但是我们墨守成规、维护狭小利益、推迟引人不悦的决定,这段时期肯定已经过去。

从今天起,我们必须重新出发、再次展开再造美国的工程。

我们无论朝何处望去,都有工作必须完成。

经济情势需要大胆、迅速的行动,我们将有所行动,不光是创造新工作,更要奠定成长的新基础。

我们将造桥铺路,为企业兴建电力网格与数位线路,将我们联系在一起。

我们将让科学回归合适的用途,运用科技的奇蹟来提高医疗品质并降低费用。

我们将利用太阳能、风力和土壤作为汽车的燃料和工厂的能源。

我们将让中小学及大专院校转型,因应新时代的需要。

这些我们可以作到。

我们也将会作到。

现在,有人质疑我们的雄心,暗示说我们的体系无法承受太多的大计画。

这些人的记性不好。

因为他们忘记了这个国家已经完成的成就,当创造力朝同一个目标发展,不受约束的男男女女可以完成何等成就,必要的是勇气。

怀疑者无法理解的是他们的主张已经站不住脚,长期以来折磨我们的陈腐政治争议已经行不通。

我们今天的问题不是政府太大或太小,而是有无功效,是否能帮助家庭找到薪水不错的工作,支付得起照顾费用,有尊严的退休。

哪个方向能够提供肯定的答案,我们就往那里走。

答案是否定的地方,计画就会停止。

所有我们这些管理大众金钱的人都将负起责任,花钱要精明,改掉恶习,正大光明作事情,只有这样我们才能重建政府与人民间最重要的信任。

我们眼前的问题也不是说市场的力量是善或恶。

市场创造财富和增加自由的力量无与伦比,但是这场危机提醒我们没有监督时,市场发展将失控,当市场只偏爱有钱人时,国家无法永续繁荣。

我们经济成功的依据,不只是国内生产毛额的规模,还有繁荣可及的范围,以及我们将机会拓展给每个愿意打拚的人,不是因为施舍,而是因为这就是达到我们共同利益最稳健的途径。

至於我们的共同防卫,我们认为必须在我们的自由和理想之间作一抉择是不确实的,我们拒绝接受。

我们建国诸父在我们难以想像的危难之中。

拟具了确保法治和人权的宪章,被一代代以鲜血扩大充实的宪章。

这些理想依然照亮这个世界,我们不会为了便宜行事而扬弃它。

同样地,今日在观看此情此景的其他民族和政府,从最宏伟的都城到家父出生的小村庄,我要说:任何一个国家、男、女、和孩童,只要你在追求一个和平且有尊严的未来,美国就是你的朋友,我们准备再次带领大家。

回想先前的世代力抗法西斯主义和共产主义,靠的除了飞弹和战车之外,还有强固的联盟和持久的信念。

他们知道单单力量本身不足以让我们自保,也不能让我们为所欲为。

相反地,他们知道我们的力量因为谨慎使用而增强,我们的安全源自我们理想的正当性,我们所树立楷模的力量,以及谦逊和克制所具有的调和特质。

我们是这些遗产的保存者。

在这些原则的再次指引下,我们可以面对那些新的威胁,这些威胁有赖国与国间更大的合作与谅解方能因应。

我们将开始以负责任的方式把伊拉克还给它的人民,并在阿富汗建立赢来不易的和平。

我们会努力不懈地与老朋友和昔日的对手合作,以减轻核子威胁,和地球的暖化。

我们不会为我们的生活方式而道歉,也会毫不动摇地保护它,对那些想要藉由带来恐怖与杀害无辜以遂其目的者,我们现在告诉你,我们的精神强过你们,无法摧折,你们不可能比我们长久,我们必定打败你们。

因为我们知道,我们拼凑组合而成的遗产是我们的强处,而非弱点。

我们是由基督徒和穆斯林,犹太教徒和印度教徒,以及非信徒组成的国家。

我们由取自世界四面八方的各种语文和文化所形塑。

而且由於我们曾尝过内战和种族隔离的苦果,并且在走出那黑暗时期之後变得更坚强和团结,这让我们不得不相信旧日的仇恨终究会过去,部族之间的界线很快就会泯灭。

随着世界越来越小,我们共通的人性也会彰显,而美国必须扮演引进新和平时代的角色。

对穆斯林世界,我们寻求一种新的前进方式,以共同的利益和尊重为基础。

那些想播植冲突并把自己社会的问题怪罪於西方的领袖,须知你的国民藉以判断你的,是你能建立什麽,而非你能毁坏什麽。

那些靠着贪腐欺骗和箝制异己保住权势的人,须知你门站在历史错误的一边,而只要你愿意松手,我们就会帮忙。

那些穷国的人民,我们保证会和你们合作,让们的农场丰收,让清流涌入,滋补饿坏的身体,喂养饥饿的心灵。

而对那些和我们一样比较富裕的国家,我要说,我们不能再对国界以外的苦痛视而不见,也不能再消耗世上的资源而不计後果。

因为世界已经变了,我们也要跟着改变。

在我们思索眼前道路的此际,我们以谦虚感激的心想到,有些勇敢的美国同胞正在遥远的沙漠和山岭上巡逻。

今天他们有话要对我们说,就和躺在阿灵顿(公墓)的英雄们世世代代轻声诉说的一样。

我们尊荣他们,不只因为他们扞卫我们的自由,更因为他们代表着服务的精神;愿意在比自己更大的事物上找寻意义。

而在此刻,能够界定一个世代的此刻,必须常驻你我心中的,正是这种精神。

即使政府能做和必须做,这个国家最终仍得靠美国人民的信念与决心。

在堤防决堤时,是人们的善心,让他们招待陌生人。

是工作人员的无私,让他们宁可减工时,也不愿看到朋友失业,陪伴我们度过最黑暗时期。

是消防员的勇气,让他们冲进满是浓烟的楼梯间。

是父母心甘情愿培育孩子,最终决定我们的命运。

我们的挑战也许是新的,我们迎接挑战的工具也许是新的,但我们赖以成功的价值观─辛勤工作和诚实、勇气和公平竞争、容忍和好奇心、忠实和爱国心─这些都是固有的。

这些价值是真实的,是我们历史上进步的沈默力量。

我们有必要找回这些真实价值。

我们现在需要一个勇於负责的新时代,每一个美国人都体认到我们对自己、对国家、对世界负有责任,我们不是不情愿地接受这些责任,而是欣然接受,坚信没有什麽比全力以赴完成艰难的工作,更能得到精神上的满足,更能找到自我。

这是公民的代价和承诺。

这是我们信心的来源,体认上帝召唤我们创造不确定的命运。

这是我们的自由和信条的真谛,为什麽不同种族和信仰的男女老幼能在这个大草坪上共同庆祝,为什麽一个人的父亲在不到六十年前也许还不能进当地的餐厅用餐,现在却能站在你们面前做最神圣的宣誓。

让我们记住这一天,记住我们是谁、我们走了多远。

在美国诞生这一年,在最寒冷的几个月,在结冰的河岸,一群爱国人士抱着垂死的同志。

首都弃守,敌人进逼,雪沾了血。

在那时,我们革命的成果受到质疑,我们的国父下令向人民宣读这段话:「让这段话流传后世,在深冬,只剩下希望和美德,这个城市和这个国家,面临共同危险,站起来迎向它。

」美国,面对我们共同的危险,在这个艰困的冬天,让我们记得这些永恒的话语。

怀着希望和美德,让我们再度冲破结冰的逆流,度过接下来可能来临的暴风雪。

让我们孩子的孩子继续流传下去,说我们受到考验时,我们拒绝让旅程结束,我们不回头,也不踌躇;眼睛注视着远方,上帝的恩典降临我们,我们带着自由这个伟大的礼物,安全送达未来的世世代代。

奥巴马手按林肯当年用《圣经》宣誓就任美总统Barack Obama’s Inaugural AddressMy fellow citizens: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.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. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the 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, 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 health care 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.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 Ame rica’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.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.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.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.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.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 labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.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 Sanh. 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 individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.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 protectingnarrow 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.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 health care’s quality and lower its cost. We wi ll 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.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.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. A nd 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.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 favors 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 of our prosperity; 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.As for our common defense, 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.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.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 ahard-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 apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, 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. 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.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.

We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge ahard-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 apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek toadvance 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.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.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 s ow 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.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.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 honor 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.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 thr ough 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.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 theknowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.This is the price and the promise of citizenship.This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.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.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: "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]."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 stor ms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we weretested 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.据中国多家媒体报道,《奥巴马就职典礼花絮:读第一句誓词就出现口误》.事实上,这是报道上的严重失误.大家可以重放一遍宣誓词部分。
