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(全文--英文版)

My 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 forebearers, 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 land -- a nagging fear that America'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 shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the fainthearted -- 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 thelong, rugged path toward 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 Sahn.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 protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions -- that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.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 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 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. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account -- to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day -- because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generatewealth 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 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 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 nonbelievers. 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 sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West: Know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.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 nationslike 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 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 the knowledge 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 tomeet ［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.。

奥巴马芝加哥就职演说

奥巴马芝加哥就职演说篇一：奥巴马就职演讲芝加哥同胞们：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。

现在应是我们让永恒的精神发扬光大的时侯，应是选择创造更佳历史业绩的时侯，应是将代代相传的宝贵财富、崇高理想向前发展的时侯：上帝赋予所有人平等、所有人自由和所有人充分追求幸福的机会。

在重申我们国家伟大精神的同时，我们懂得，伟大从非天生，而是必须赢得。

奥巴马第二任就职演讲稿

奥巴马第二任就职演讲稿（中英文对照）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，强调伟大国家的塑造必须依赖每个美国人的力量。

My fellow citizens:我的同胞们：I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.今天我站在这里，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微。

我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。

我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。

I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and co-operation 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 land —a nagging fear that America’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 shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for thefaint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and travelled 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 protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions —that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.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 itscost. 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 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. And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account —to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day — because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government. Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control —and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favours only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach 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 defence, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so to all other peop les and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where myfather 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 enduringconvictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nordoes 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 co-operation 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 spectre of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defence, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — andnon-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 sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.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. Wehonour 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 usall.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 thefirefighter’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 the knowledge 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 travelled. 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 gr ace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.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。

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.。

美国总统奥巴马就职演说中英文对照-演讲致辞模板

美国总统奥巴马就职演说中英文对照：公众演讲Text of President Barack Obamas inaugural address on Tuesday, as prepared for delivery and released by the Presidential Inaugural Committee.Barack Obama takes the Oath of Office as the 44th President of the United States as he is sworn in by US Chief Justice John Roberts with his wife Michelle by his side during the inauguration ceremony in Washington, January 20, 20XX. Obama became the first African-American president in US history. [Agencies]OBAMA: My 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 forebears, 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 land, a nagging fear that Americas 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 e 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 e to set aside childish things. The time has e 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 shortcuts 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 Sahn.我的同胞们，今天我站在这里，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨;国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备我们的人民正在失去家园，失去工作，很多且要倒闭社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望，而且每天都会有新的证据显示，我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威胁着我们的星球统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息危机难以测量，但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀——现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免，我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信今天我要说，我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战，而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决但是我们要相信，我们一定会度过难关今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结今天，我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号，我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用《圣经》的话说，放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来，我们要为历史作出更好的选择，我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念：上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时，我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的，伟大需要努力赢得(我们的民族一路走来)，这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协，这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人这条路是勇于承担风险者之路，是实干家、创造者之路这其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行，带领我们走向富强和自由为了我们，先辈们带着微薄的细软，横渡大洋，寻找新生活;为了我们，先辈们忍辱负重，用血汗浇铸工厂;为了我们，先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他乡;为了我们，先辈们奔赴(独立战争中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二战中的)诺曼底、(越战中的)Khe Sahn，他们征战、死去。

第二次就职演说

第二次就职演说1985年1月21日* *1985年1月20日为星期日，故就职典礼改在次日举行。

马赛厄斯参议员，伯格首席大法官，布什副总统，奥尼尔众议院议长，多尔参议员，尊敬的牧师，我的家人和朋友们，同胞们：今天由于有一位一度外出的人的光临我们的典礼更加光彩夺目。

约翰·斯坦尼斯参议员，上帝保佑你，欢迎你的归来。

然而，有一个人今天不能和我们在一起了。

他就是来自路易斯安那州的众议员吉利斯·朗，他于昨晚离开了我们。

我提议我们一起为他默默祈祷片刻。

阿门。

对于你们所赋予我的巨大荣誉，我无法用语言充分表达我的感激之情。

我将鞠躬尽瘁，决不辜负你们的重托。

正如马赛厄斯参议员所说，今天是我们美国人民第五十次举行这一历史性的庆典。

第一任总统乔治·华盛顿把手放在《圣经》上时，他．所站立的地方与原始而未被开发的荒原相距不远，只有骑马不到一天的路程。

那时，联邦只有十三个州，人口不过四百万。

如今我们的联邦已有五十个州，人口则是当年的六十倍。

我们的创造发明照亮了整个世界，世界上无论什么地方有人呼救，我们就立即前去援助；我们登上了月球，接着又安全地返回。

这个世界已是沧海桑田，但我们依然像两个世纪前那样紧密地站在一起。

四年前我宣誓就职之际，正值我国经济困难的时期。

那时有很多人呼吁，我们必须回顾我们昔日的伟大和光荣。

但是，我们这些当代的美国人没有沉缅于回顾过去。

因为在这块上帝踢福的土地上，总是拥有一个更为美好的明天。

四年前我曾向你们谈及“新开端”的问题，现在我们已经完成这个任务。

但从另一个意义上说，我们现在的这个新开端，乃是两个世纪前创立的那个开端的延续。

那时，人民在人类历史上首次宣告，政府并非我们的主人，而是我们的仆人，其唯一权力不过是人民允许它拥有的那些权力。

这一制度从未让我们失望，但我们却一度有负于这一制度。

我们向政府要求它没有能力提供的东西。

我们把原本属于州政府、地方政府或人民自己的权力，拱手让与联邦政府。

奥巴马就职演讲

对于穆斯林世界，基于共同的利益和对彼此的尊重，我们将寻求前进的新方式。对于那些只知道挑拨是非，指摘西方世界诟病的领导者，你们要知道，人民评判你是看你建立了什么，而不是看你毁灭了什么；对于那些依靠腐败欺诈压制异议而谋取权利的人，你们站在了历史的对立面；如果你们先松开握紧的拳头，我们也会伸出友谊之手。
这些是数据和统计显示的危机征兆。不可测量却侵蚀了全民的自信——我们开始困扰美国的衰落是否不可避免，我们开始怀疑下一代是否终将风光不再。
今天，我告诉你们，我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。它们严重而繁琐。可能短期内不会遇见，但是美国与它们终将相遇。
今天，我们相聚在一起，因为我们选择了希望来克服恐惧，联合起来解决矛盾和是非。
现在，有人质疑我们的野心。有人暗示我们的体制不可能容纳太多宏伟的计划。共同的目的以及必要的勇气结合起来时，自由的人们所能实现的一切。
愤世嫉俗者不能理解他们脚下的这片土地所发生的转变。陈腐的政治已经困扰了我们太久。今天，我们的问题不是政府的大小，而是它是否有效运转——是否帮助人们找到合适的工作，是否关注人们能否承担生活所需，退休之后能否得体的生活。如果答案是否定的，那么这个制度就应终止。那些掌管纳税人钱的人有责任精打细算、摒除陋习、光明正大地做事——这样才能重建人民和政府之间的信任。
为了我们，他们背起行囊，远涉重洋，寻找新的生活。
为了我们，他们条件恶劣的工厂埋首苦干，开拓建立了西方世界；他们忍受鞭笞，辛勤耕耘贫瘠的土壤。
为了我们，他们誓死奋战，鲜血洒在康科德（Concord），盖茨堡（Gettysburg），诺曼底（Normandy）和科萨恩（KheSahn）。
但是，我们赖以成功的价值观——勤劳，诚实，勇敢，公平，宽容，好奇，忠诚和爱国——从未改变。这些真理默默地推进了历史的进城。我们需要回归这些真理。现在，我们要面临的是一个全新的责任时代——每个美国人，都对自己，国家甚至世界负责。我们会欣然接受这个重任，重申一遍，没有比这个更能充实精神，完善个性，全心全意奉献自己的重任了。

奥巴马就职演说中英文

奥巴马就职演说中英文（Presidential Inaugural Address）My fellow citizens,今天，我站在这里，感到无比荣幸和谦卑，站在这里，代表着我所敬爱的美国人民，发表我的就职演说。

美国总统奥巴马第二任期就职演说全文(中英文)

美国总统奥巴马当地时间1月21日在国会山第二任期就职演说全文MR. OBAMA: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: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。

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：“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.”“我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。

奥巴马第二次就职演说全文(中英对照)

在过去的200多年里，我们做到了。
（For more than two hundred years, we have.）
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。
（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.）
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，用步枪和民兵同敌人(法西斯主义与共产主义)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ough 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, these are constants in our character.）

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!。

拜登副總統、首席大法官先生、國會議員們、尊敬的各位嘉賓、親愛的公民們：（MR. OBAMA: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:）每一次我們集會慶祝總統就職，我們都在見證美國憲法的持久力量。

我們都在確認美國民主的承諾。

我們重申，將這個國家緊密聯繫在一起的不是我們的膚色，也不是我們信仰的教條，更不是我們族名的來源。

讓我們與眾不同，讓我們成為美國人的是，我們對於一種理念的恪守。

200多年前，這一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰表明：（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:）―我們認為下述真理是不言而喻的：人人生而平等。

造物主賦予他們若干不可剝奪的權利，包括生命權、自由權和追求幸福的權利。

‖（―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.‖）今天，我們繼續著這一未竟的征程，架起這些理念與我們時代現實之間的橋梁。

因為歷史告訴我們，即便這些真理是不言而喻的，它們也從來不會自動生效。

因為雖然自由是上帝賦予的禮物，但仍需要世間的子民去捍衛。

1776年，美國的愛國先驅們不是只為了推翻國王的暴政而戰，也不是為贏得少數人的特權，建立暴民的統治。

先驅們留給我們一個共和國，一個民有、民治、民享的政府。

他們委托每一代美國人捍衛我們的建國信條。

（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.）在過去的200多年裡，我們做到了。

（For more than two hundred years, we have.）從奴役的血腥枷鎖和刀劍的血光厮殺中我們懂得了，建立在自由與平等原則之上的聯邦不能永遠維持半奴隸和半自由的狀態。

我們贏得了新生，誓言共同前進。

（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.）我們共同努力，建立起現代的經濟體系。

架設鐵路與高速公路，加速了旅行和商業交流。

建立學校與大學，培訓我們的工人。

（Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers。

）我們一起發現，自由市場的繁榮只能建立在保障競爭與公平競爭的原則之上。

（Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.）我們共同決定讓這個偉大的國家遠離危險，保護她的人民不受生命威脅和不幸的侵擾。

一路走來，我們從未放棄對集權的質疑。

（Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.）我們同樣不屈服於這一謊言：一切的社會弊端都能夠只靠政府來解決。

我們對積極向上與奮發進取的讚揚，我們對努力工作與個人責任的堅持，這些都是美國精神的基本要義。

（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 personalresponsibility, these are constants in our character.）我們也理解，時代在變化，我們同樣需要變革。

對建國精神的忠誠，需要我們肩負起新的責任，迎接新的挑戰。

保護我們的個人自由，最終需要所有人的共同努力。

因為美國人不能再獨力迎接當今世界的挑戰，正如美國士兵們不能再像先輩一樣，用步槍和民兵同敵人(法西斯主義與共產主義)作戰。

一個人無法培訓所有的數學與科學老師，我們需要他們為了未來去教育孩子們。

一個人無法建設道路、鋪設網絡、建立實驗室來為國內帶來新的工作崗位和商業機會。

現在，與以往任何時候相比，我們都更需要團結合作。

作為一個國家，一個民族團結起來。

（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 allthe 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.）這一代美國人經歷了危機的考驗，經濟危機堅定了我們的決心，證明了我們的恢復力。

長達十年的戰爭正在結束，經濟的復甦已經開始。

美國的可能性是無限的，因為我們擁有當今沒有邊界的世界所需要的所有品質：年輕與活力、多樣性與開放、無窮的冒險精神以及創造的天賦才能。

我親愛的同胞們，我們正是為此刻而生，我們更要在此刻團結一致，抓住當下的機會。

（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 – solong as we seize it together.）因為我們，美國人民，清楚如果只有不斷萎縮的少數人群體獲得成功，而大多數人不能成功，我們的國家就無法成功。
