奥巴马就职演讲全文(中文稿)
2013年奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文版本)
英文版MR. OBAMA: 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 H appiness.”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。
奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)
奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)第一篇:奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)亲爱的公民同胞们:今天我站在这裡﹐面对眼前的任务﹐深感卑微。
感谢你们给予我的信任﹐我也清楚前辈们為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。
我们都狠清楚﹐我们正处於危机之中。
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準备迎接新时代方面﹐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。
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──现在一种认為美国衰落不可避免﹐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。
今天我要向你们说的是﹐我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。
这些挑战狠多﹐也狠严重﹐它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就得以克服。
但记住这一点:美国终将渡过难关。
今天﹐我们聚集在这裡﹐是因為我们选择了希望而不是恐惧﹐团结而不是冲突与争执。
今天﹐我们在这裡宣佈要為无谓的抱怨、不实的承诺和指责画上句号﹐我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的陈旧教条。
我们仍是一个年轻的国家﹐但借用《圣经》的话说﹐摒弃幼稚的时代已经来临。
是时候重树我们坚韧的精神﹔选择我们更好的歷史﹔弘扬那些珍贵的天赋和高尚的理念﹐并代代传承下去﹐即上帝赋予的信念:天下眾生皆平等﹐眾生皆自由﹐且均应有追求最大幸福的机会。
奥巴马就职演说中英文
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。
奥巴马就职演说中文版
奥巴马就职演说中文版同胞们:今天,我站在这里,面对眼前的诸多困难,深感重任在肩,我被你们的信任所感动,亦为我们先辈的付出铭感于怀。
感谢布什总统的勤恳服务,感谢他在整个交接过程中所表现出的宽容与风度。
历史上曾有四十四位美国公民宣誓就任美国总统。
誓言回荡在这个国家澎湃如潮的繁荣时期以及平静如水的和平年代。
这些誓言往往伴随着些许阴霾更或凄风骤雨。
但是,每当危机来临之时,我们的国家总能克复匹敌,这不仅仅是因为身居高位者的运筹帷幄、远见卓识,更因为我们的人民对先辈的理想坚定不移,对这个国家的建国纲领矢志不渝。
所以我们能风雨无惧,所以我们必须要将这种精神传承下去。
我们确确实实地处于危机之中。
这个国家正在经历战争,抵抗一张由暴力与仇恨交织而成的巨网。
我们的经济已是病骨支离,一方面是由于贪婪和失责,另一方面则是长久以来在某些重要问题上、在迎接新时代挑战过程中的屡屡失策。
流离失所、民生凋敝、百业俱废,我们的健康得不到保证,我们的教育亦难当重任。
每一天,不尽合理的能源消耗方式让我们的敌人愈强,却将我们共同的家园至于危险境地。
看得见的危机,我们可以用数据和统计来加以衡量。
但是不可名状却又显而易见的危机正在动摇这个国家的信心——一种悲观而恐惧的声音徘徊着,惶言美国的衰落积重难返,我们的后代将失掉自信。
听我说,这些威胁并非子虚乌有,它们不仅迫在眉睫而且多乱如麻。
要想一挥而就解决这些问题绝非易事。
但是请相信,我们的国家总能披荆斩棘,转危为安。
今天,大家相聚于此,是因为我们不惧危险,义无反顾地选择了希望,选择同舟共济的方式来消解分歧和对抗。
今天,我们相聚与此,向那些斤斤计较的宿怨说再见,向失信于民的承诺说再见,向唾沫横飞的争吵说再见,向陈腐不堪的教条说再见。
长久以来,正是这些流毒让我们的政治步伐举步维艰。
我们的国家还很年轻,但我们信条却巍然永隽。
就让我们摒弃那些幼稚的行为,代之以成熟和坚毅。
让我们重申那经久不灭的伟大精神;让辉煌的过去历久弥新;让我们继承这份珍贵的遗产、高尚的思想,代代传承上帝的旨意:众生平等、万物自由,人人可奋而自助,极乐怡怡。

奥巴马就职演说中英文
奥巴马就职演说中英文Mr. Obama's Inaugural AddressLadies and gentlemen, esteemed guests,Today, we gather here to witness the historic moment of my inauguration as the 44th President of the United States of America. I stand before you with a deep sense of gratitude, confidence, and responsibility, ready to guide our nation towards a brighter future. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the American people for your trust and unwavering support.As we embark on this new chapter in our nation's history, let us remember the challenges we face and the opportunities that lie ahead. Our path forward may not be easy, but together, we can overcome any obstacle and build a better future for generations to come.Overcoming Economic CrisisSince taking office, we have witnessed the devastating effects of the global economic crisis. Our economy has suffered greatly, jobs have been lost, and many families have experienced financial hardship. However, I am confident that by working together, we can overcome these challenges and rebuild our economy.My administration will prioritize economic recovery by implementing comprehensive strategies that promote job creation, stimulate economic growth, and ensure financial stability. We will invest in renewable energy,infrastructure development, and scientific innovations, creating new opportunities for businesses and fostering sustainable growth.Promoting Equality and InclusivityAmerica is a nation built on the principles of equality, liberty, and justice for all. Yet, we continue to face deep-rooted divisions and inequalities. It is our responsibility to address these issues head-on and build a society where every individual has equal opportunities to succeed.We will strive to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, to eliminate discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual orientation, and to ensure equal access to education, healthcare, and employment. Together, we can create a society that upholds the values of fairness, compassion, and justice.Protecting the EnvironmentClimate change poses one of the greatest threats to our planet and future generations. We must act now to preserve our environment and ensure a sustainable future for all. As a nation, we will take a leading role in combating climate change and transitioning to a clean energy economy.Investing in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power will not only reduce our carbon footprint but also create jobs and promote technological advancements. We will work towards international cooperation to address climate change, adhering to the principles of the Paris Agreement.Ensuring National SecurityIn an increasingly interconnected world, our national security is of paramount importance. We will continue to strengthen our military capabilities, defend against cyber threats, and enhance intelligence gathering to protect our citizens and safeguard our democracy.Furthermore, we must reaffirm our commitment to diplomacy, working with our allies and promoting peaceful resolutions to global conflicts. By fostering dialogue and understanding, we can build bridges instead of walls, and establish a more secure and peaceful world for future generations.ConclusionIn closing, I stand here today humbled and honored to serve as your President. Together, we will strive for a more prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable America. Let us embrace the challenges ahead with determination, unity, and a renewed spirit of optimism.Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.。

奥巴马就职演说中英文
奥巴马就职演说中英文尊敬的各位同胞:今天我站在这里,怀着敬畏和谦卑的心情,肩负着你们赋予的信任和使命。
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。
我们是一个伟大的国家,一个从不缺乏勇气和创造力的国家。
我们的先辈们在艰苦的环境中开拓进取,为我们创造了今天的繁荣。
现在,轮到我们去继承他们的精神,去为我们的子孙后代创造一个更加美好的未来。
我们要重建我们的经济,让每一个愿意工作的人都能找到一份体面的工作,让每一个企业都能在公平的竞争环境中茁壮成长。
我们要投资于教育,让每一个孩子都能接受到优质的教育,无论他们来自城市还是乡村,无论他们的家庭富有还是贫困。
我们要改革我们的医疗保障体系,让每一个人都能在生病的时候得到及时的治疗,而不必担心高昂的医疗费用。
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。
我们要与世界各国建立友好的关系,共同应对全球性的挑战,如气候变化、恐怖主义和疾病的传播。
在这个过程中,我们可能会遇到挫折和困难。
但是,我们不能退缩,不能放弃。
我们要以坚定的信念和不屈的精神,勇往直前。
因为我们是美国人,我们从不畏惧困难,我们总是在逆境中崛起。
最后,我要感谢每一位美国公民。
你们的声音,你们的希望,你们的梦想,是我前进的动力。
让我们一起携手共进,为了我们的国家,为了我们的未来,努力奋斗!以下是对应的英文版本:My fellow citizens:Today I stand here, with awe and humility, bearing the trust and mission you have bestowed upon me In the long history of our nation, this is a solemn and hopeful momentOur country is facing numerous challenges and difficulties The economic recession has deprived many families of jobs and homes The insufficiency in education has placed our children at a disadvantage in the future competition The lack of medical security has left many people feeling helpless in the face of illness However, I firmly believe that we have the ability and the determination to overcome these difficultiesWe are a great nation, one that has never lacked courage and creativity Our predecessors forged ahead in difficult circumstances and created today's prosperity for us Now, it is our turn to inherit their spirit and create a better future for our descendantsWe must rebuild our economy so that everyone who is willing to work can find a decent job and every enterprise can thrive in a fair competitive environment We must invest in education so that every child can receive a quality education, regardless of whether they come from urban or rural areas, or whether their families are rich or poor We must reform our healthcare system so that everyone can receive timely treatment when they are sick without having to worry about exorbitant medical costsAt the same time, we must also recognize that we live in an interdependent world Our security and prosperity depend not only on our own efforts but also on our cooperation with other countries We must establish friendly relations with countries around the world and jointly address global challenges such as climate change, terrorism, and the spread of diseasesDuring this process, we may encounter setbacks and difficulties But we cannot retreat or give up We must forge ahead with firm belief and indomitable spirit Because we are Americans, we have never feared difficulties We always rise in adversityFinally, I would like to thank every American citizen Your voices, your hopes, and your dreams are the driving force for me to move forward Let us join hands and work together for our country and our future!。

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。
Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to theenduring 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 orthe 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 adeclaration made more than two centuries ago: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。

Hello, Chicago.If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America i s a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if th e dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still question s the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It's the a nswer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches i n numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, b ecause they believed that this time must be different, that thei r voices could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by you ng and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and n ot disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we h ave 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. I t's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can a chieve 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 com ing, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this el ection at this defining moment change has come to America. A lit tle bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily grac ious call from Sen. McCain. Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the co untry that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the se rvice rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. A nd I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's pr omise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this jo urney, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the me n and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rodewith on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. And I would not be standing here t onight without the unyielding support of mybest friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the n ation's next first lady Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia I love y ou both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new p uppy that's coming with us to the new White House. And while she 's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along wi th the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my sister Maya, my s ister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them. And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of t his campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner wi th me every step of the way. To the best campaign team ever asse mbled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you. I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or m any endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of W ashington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the livin g rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was b uilt by working men and women who dug into what little savings t hey had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause. It grew strengt h from the young people who rejected the myth of their generatio n's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep. It drew strength from the no t-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more th an two centuries later a government of the people, by the people,and for the people has not perished from the Earth. This is you r victory. And 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 unde rstand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bri ng are the greatest of our lifetime-- two wars, a planet in per il, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand he re tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the d eserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their li ves for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake aft er the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mort gage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child' s college education.。

因为我们,美国人民,清楚如果只有不断萎缩的少数人群体获得成功,而大多数人不能成功,我们的国家就无法成功。我们相信,美国的繁荣必须建立在不断上升的中产阶级的宽阔臂膀之上,我们知道美国的繁荣只有这样才能实现。只有当每个人都能找到工作中的自立与自豪时才能实现。只有当诚实劳动获得的薪水足够让家庭摆脱困苦的悬崖时才能实现。我们忠诚于我们的事业,保证让一个出生于最贫穷环境中的小女孩都能知道,她有同其他所有人一样的成功机会。因为她是一个美国人,她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不仅由上帝来见证,更由我们亲手保护。
我们通过医疗保险、联邦医疗补助计划、社会保障项目向每个人做出承诺,这些不会让我们的创造力衰竭担风险,让国家伟大。
我们,人民,仍然相信,我们作为美国人的义务不只是对我们自己而言,还包括对子孙后代。我们将应对气候变化的威胁,认识到不采取措施应对气候变化就是对我们的孩子和后代的背叛。一些人可能仍在否定科学界的压倒性判断,但没有人能够避免熊熊火灾、严重旱灾、更强力风暴带来的灾难性打击。通向可再生能源利用的道路是漫长的,有时是困难的。但美国不能抵制这种趋势,我们必须引领这种趋势。我们不能把制造新就业机会和新行业的技术让给其他国家,我们必须明确这一承诺。这是我们保持经济活力和国家财富(我们的森林和航道,我们的农田与雪峰)的方法。这将是我们保护我们星球的办法,上帝把这个星球托付给我们。这将给我们的建国之父们曾宣布的信条赋予意义。
我的美国同胞,我今天在你们面前宣读的誓词,如同在国会山服务的其他人曾宣读过的誓词一样,是对上帝和国家的誓词,不是对党派或是派别的,我们必须在任期内忠实地履行这些承诺。但我今天宣读的誓词与士兵报名参军或者是移民实现梦想时所宣读的誓词没有多少差别。我的誓词与我们所有的人向我们头顶飘扬的、让我们心怀自豪的国旗所表达的誓言没有多大差别。
“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,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。
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。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。
感谢你们,上帝保佑你们,愿上帝永远保佑美利坚合众国。
那是我们这一代的任务——让生存、自由和追求幸福的言语、权力和价值切实体现在每个美国人的身上。我们的立国文本没有要求我们将每个人的生活一致化。这并不意味着,我们会以完全一样的方式去定义自由,沿着同样的道路通向幸福。进步不会终止几个世纪以来一直纠结的关于政府角色的争论,但这要求我们现在就采取行动。
我们,人民,今天昭示的最明白的事实是——我们所有人都是生而平等的,这是依然引领我们的恒星。它引领我们的先辈穿越纽约塞尼卡瀑布城(女权抗议事件)、塞尔马(黑人权力事件)和石墙骚乱(同性恋与警察发生的暴力事件),引领着所有的男性和女性,留下姓名和没留姓名的人。在伟大的征程中,一路上留下足迹的人。曾经听一位牧师说,我们不能独自前行。马丁-路德-金说,我们个人的自由与地球上每个灵魂的自由不可分割。

奥巴马就职演讲全文(中文):
当地时间1月21日中午,美国总统奥巴马在国会山公开宣誓后发表第二任期就职演讲,演讲强调美国建国精神,并提及就业、医疗、移民、气候、同性恋、儿童安全等多项议题。以下为奥巴马就职演说全文:
我们将通过强大的军力和法制保护我们的人民,捍卫我们的价值观。我们将展现试图和平解决与其它国家分歧的勇气,但这不是因为我们对面临的危险持幼稚的态度,而是因为接触能够更持久地化解疑虑和恐惧。美国将在全球保持强大的联盟,我们将更新这些能扩展我们应对海外危机能力的机制。因为作为世界上最强大的国家,我们在世界和平方面拥有最大的利益。我们将支持从亚洲到非洲、从美洲至中东的民主国家,因为我们的利益和良心驱使我们代表那些想获得自由的人们采取行动。我们必须成为贫困者、病患者、被边缘化的人士、异见受害者的希望来源,不仅仅是出于慈善,也是因为这个时代的和平需要不断推进我们共同信念中的原则:宽容和机遇,人类尊严与正义。
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。
这一代美国人经历了危机的考验,经济危机坚定了我们的决心,证明了我们的恢复力。长达十年的战争正在结束,经济的复苏已经开始。美国的可能性是无限的,因为我们拥有当今没有边界的世界所需要的所有品质:年轻与活力、多样性与开放、无穷的冒险精神以及创造的天赋才能。我亲爱的同胞们,我们正是为此刻而生,我们更要在此刻团结一致,抓住当下的机会。
我们知道,我们已然陈旧的程序不足以满足时代的需要。我们必须应用新理念和新技术重塑我们的政府,改进我们的税法,改革我们的学校,让我们的公民拥有他们所需要的技能,更加努力地工作,学更多的知识,向更高处发展。这意味着变革,我们的目标是:国家可以奖励每个美国人的努力和果断。
这是现在需要的。这将给我们的信条赋予真正的意义。
我们,人民,仍然相信持久的安全与和平,不需要持续的战争。我们勇敢的士兵经受了战火的考验,他们的技能和勇气是无可匹敌的。我们的公民依然铭记着那些阵亡者,他们非常清楚我们为自由付出的代价。明白他们的牺牲将让我们永远对那些试图伤害我们的势力保持警惕。但我们也是那些赢得和平而不只是战争的人们的后代,他们将仇敌转变成最可靠的朋友,我们也必须把这些经验带到这个时代。
继续先辈开创的事业是我们这代人的任务。直到我们的妻子、母亲和女儿的付出能够与她们的努力相称,我们的征途才会结束。我们的征途不会终结,我们要让同性恋的兄弟姐妹在法律之下得到与其他人同样的待遇。如果我们真正是生而平等的,那么我们对彼此的爱也应该是平等的。我们的征途没有结束,直到没有公民需要等待数个小时去行使投票权。我们的征途不会结束,直到我们找到更好的方法迎接努力、有憧憬的移民,他们依旧视美国是一块充满机会的土地。直到聪颖年轻的学生和工程师为我们所用,而不是被逐出美国。我们的征途不会结束,直到我们所有的儿童,从底特律的街道到阿巴拉契亚的山岭,再到康涅狄格州纽镇安静的小巷,直到他们得到关心和珍视,永远避免受到伤害。

简述:奥巴马就职演讲全文非常感谢大家.拜登副总统首席大法官先生..。MR. OBAMA: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States....奥巴马就职演讲全文(中文):当地时间1月21日中午,美国总……
我们也理解,时代在变化,我们同样需要变革。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。因为美国人不能再独力迎接当今世界的挑战,正如美国士兵们不能再像先辈一样,用步枪和民兵同法西斯势力作战。一个人无法培训所有的数学与科学老师,我们需要他们为了未来去教育孩子们。一个人无法建设道路、铺设网络、建立实验室来为国内带来新的工作岗位和商业机会。现在,与以往任何时候相比,我们都更需要团结合作。作为一个国家,一个民族团结起来。
我们,人民,仍然认为,每个公民都应当获得基本的安全和尊严。我们必须做出艰难抉择,降低医疗成本,缩减赤字规模。但我们拒绝在照顾建设国家的这一代和投资即将建设国家的下一代间做出选择。因为我们记得过去的教训:老年人的夕阳时光在贫困中度过,家有残障儿童的父母无处求助。我们相信,在这个国家,自由不只是那些幸运儿的专属,或者说幸福只属于少数人。我们知道,不管我们怎样负责任地生活,我们任何人在任何时候都可能面临失业、突发疾病或住房被可怕的飓风摧毁的风险。
目前是由我们决策,我们不能拖延。我们不能将绝对主义当作原则,或者以表象代替政治,或将中伤视作理性的辩论。我们必须行动,要意识到我们的工作并不完美。我们必须行动,意识到今天的胜利是并不完全的。这些将有赖于未来4年、40年或是400年致力于这项事业的人,去推进当年在费城制宪会议大厅传承给我们的永恒精神。
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,我们都在见证美国宪法的持久力量。我们都在确认美国民主的承诺。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表明:
这些是公民的誓词,代表着我们最伟大的希望。
你和我,作为公民,都有为这个国家设定道路的权力。
你和我,作为公民,有义务塑造我们时代的辩题,不仅是通过我们的选票,而且要为捍卫悠久的价值观和持久的理想发声。
现在让我们相互拥抱,怀着庄严的职责和无比的快乐,这是我们永恒的与生俱来的权利。有共同的努力和共同的目标,用热情与奉献,让我们回应历史的召唤,将珍贵的自由之光带入并不确定的未来。
