美国总统布什向全国发表电视告别演说

布什发表告别演说为任期表现做最后辩护演讲视频布什的告别演说:八年我对得起自己良心布什发表告别演说承认任内经历过“挫折”布什称赖斯是最伟大国务卿之一回顾布什执政:告别布什这8年媒体猜测布什卸任后可能从事5项工作(图)独家策划:别了,布什谁是最伟大的美国总统当地时间15日晚上8时(北京时间16日9时),美国总统布什向全国发表电视告别演说,反思911恐怖袭击以及布什政府八年来为反恐所做的努力。

布什的演说耗时10至15分钟,谈及他在总统生涯中获得的经验教训,以及他对未来的看法。

以下为演说全文摘要:关于权力移交五天以后,世界将再次见证美国民主制度的活力。

从立国之日起,我们就秉承着一个传统——前任总统的接班人,必须由你们——美国人民选举产生。

对于站在国会前的宣誓者来说,他的故事兑现了这块土地的不朽承诺。

对于我们整个国家而言,那个时刻充满希望和骄傲。

在此,我和所有美国人民一起,向候任总统奥巴马先生,她的妻子米歇尔女士,以及他们的一双美丽女儿致以最美好的祝愿。

关于感激今晚,我的心中充满感恩之情。

我感激人民曾经给予的信任,感激那些曾经让我振奋心智的祝福。

我还感谢在过去八年中,我曾经无数次目睹的你们那些勇敢、慷慨与高尚的行为。

关于反恐战争今晚,我的思绪再次回到了2001年9月11日后我首次在此向你们讲话时的情景。

那天早上,恐怖分子夺去了将近3000个生命,我们遭受到了自珍珠港事件以来最惨重的袭击。

时过境迁,如今,多数美国人已经大致恢复了911之前的生活。

但是我没有。

每天早上,我都会收到一份关于国家安全的简报,并且我一直在尽一切努力保障我们的安全。

在过去的7年里,我们建立了一个崭新的国土安全部。

美国的军队,情报机关和联邦调查局也已经改头换面。

我们的国家有了新的工具监视恐怖分子的活动,冻结他们的资金,挫败他们的阴谋。

而且,在我们盟友的有力支援下,我们主动出击与恐怖分子和他们的支持者战斗。

关于政府这些行为的合法性,人们有很多的讨论;但是这些行为的成就是毋庸置疑的。

老布什访华演讲

老布什访华演讲

老布什访华演讲第一篇:老布什访华演讲Toast at Welcoming BanquetGeorge BushMay 7, 1982I want to first thank you for a superlative dinner and magnificent hospitality.These are among the hallmarks of China.Barbara and I have a special regard and personal friendship for the people of China.Beijing is for us an old and nostalgic home.During our stay here we spent a great deal of time with the people—working, shopping, sightseeing, and the endless hours we spent touring the city on our bicycles.During that time we never experienced anything other than the utmost courtesy and genuine friendship of the people.Those were happy days.They were good days, important days.We were part of the dramatic process which brought our two countries back together and set us on the road to full normalization of relations between the United States and China.It started with what Americans affectionately refer to as ping pong diplomacy.It moved through the decade of rapprochement.When relations between our governments and peoples expanded in such a dramatic fashion that they captured the full attention of the entire world.President Reagan in his recent letter to Premier Zhao, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Shanghai Communique, rightly observed that our relationship now extends into almost every field of human endeavor.This should come as no surprise.Your late Premier and esteemed statesman, Zhou Enlai, in welcoming President Nixon to China more than 10 years ago commented that, “the Chinese people are a great people and the Americanpeople are a great people.” Zhou Enlai’s words are as correct today as they were then.If he were still with us, he would be pleased with the progress we have made as our nations and our peoples become closer.Following the Shanghai Communique of 1972, relations between our two countries prospered, matured and evolved in such a way that the establishment of full diplomatic relations was the logical conclusion.Normalization brought with it recognition by the United States that the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government of China and acknowledged the Chinese position that there is but one-China and that Taiwan is a part of China.This understanding is strongly supported by President Reagan along with the one China policy established in both the Shanghai and Joint Normalization Communiques.As representatives of two great peoples we not only have the opportunity but the obligation to make major contributions to the cause of global peace.It must be remembered that we share not only common interest in the face of hegemonist expansionism, but we share a common responsibility.We in the United States believe that our real strength as a nation lies not so much in our Army, or our Navy or the size of our national economy.It rests in the decency, and compassion of our people.It rests also in the value of our world.The president asked me to come to China because of the vital importance he places on the United States-China relations and because of his strong personal commitment to building an enduring relationship---one based on equality and mutual trust and understanding.While we are not so naïve as to believe that there are not some issues of difference to be discussed, I also believe, as does the President, that our differences are greatly overshadowed by issues which bind us and strengthen ourrelationship.My visit is a symbol of the good faith with which we seek to build upon the strength of our friendship, our cultural and commercial ties and our important strategic relationship.Events of the past decade have confirmed time and time again that American and Chinese friendship and cooperation will flourish through the rest of this century and beyond.第二篇:老布什就职演讲美国历届总统就职演说之---第41任总统George Herbert Walker Bush的就职演讲稿Inaugural Address of George BushMr.Chief Justice, Mr.President, Vice President Quayle, Senator Mitchell, Speaker Wright, Senator Dole, Congressman Michel, and fellow citizens, neighbors, and friends: There is a man here who has earned a lasting place in our hearts and in our history.President Reagan, on behalf of our Nation, I thank you for the wonderful things that you have done for America.I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I placed my hand is the Bible on which he placed his.It is right that the memory of Washington be with us today, not only because this is our Bicentennial Inauguration, but because Washington remains the Father of our Country.And he would, I think, be gladdened by this day;for today is the concrete expression of a stunning fact: our continuity these 200 years since our government began.We meet on democracy's front porch, a good place to talk as neighbors and as friends.For this is a day when our nation is made whole, when our differences, for a moment, are suspended.And my first act as President is a prayer.I ask you to bow your heads: Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Yourlove.Accept our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that makes its continuance likely.Make us strong to do Your work, willing to heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: “Use power to help people.” For we are given power not to advance our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name.There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people.Help us to remember it, Lord.Amen.I come before you and assume the Presidency at a moment rich with promise.We live in a peaceful, prosperous time, but we can make it better.For a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn;for in man's heart, if not in fact, the day of the dictator is over.The totalitarian era is passing, its old ideas blown away like leaves from an ancient, lifeless tree.A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on.There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken.There are times when the future seems thick as a fog;you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right path.But this is a time when the future seems a door you can walk right through into a room called tomorrow.Great nations of the world are moving toward democracy through the door to freedom.Men and women of the world move toward free markets through the door to prosperity.The people of the world agitate for free expression and free thought through the door to the moral and intellectual satisfactions that only liberty allows.We know what works: Freedom works.We know what's right: Freedom is right.We know how to securea more just and prosperous life for man on Earth: through free markets, free speech, free elections, and the exercise of free will unhampered by the state.For the first time in this century, forthe first time in perhaps all history, man does not have to invent a system by which to live.We don't have to talk late into the night about which form of government is better.We don't have to wrest justice from the kings.We only have to summon it from within ourselves.We must act on what we know.I take as my guide the hope of a saint: In crucial things, unity;in important things, diversity;in all things, generosity.America today is a proud, free nation, decent and civil, a place we cannot help but love.We know in our hearts, not loudly and proudly, but as a simple fact, that this country has meaning beyond what we see, and that our strength is a force for good.But have we changed as a nation even in our time? Are we enthralled with material things, less appreciative of the nobility of work and sacrifice?My friends, we are not the sum of our possessions.They are not the measure of our lives.In our hearts we know what matters.We cannot hope only to leave our children a bigger car, a bigger bank account.We must hope to give them a sense of what it means to be a loyal friend, a loving parent, a citizen who leaves his home, his neighborhood and town better than he found it.What do we want the men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there? That we were more driven to succeed than anyone around us? Or that we stopped to ask if a sick child had gotten better, and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship?No President, no government, can teach us to remember what is best in what we are.But if the man you have chosen to lead this government can help make a difference;if he can celebrate the quieter, deeper successes that are made not of gold and silk, but of better hearts and finer souls;if he can do these things, then he must.America is never wholly herself unless sheis engaged in high moral principle.We as a people have such a purpose today.It is to make kinder the face of the Nation and gentler the face of the world.My friends, we have work to do.There are the homeless, lost and roaming.There are the children who have nothing, no love, no normalcy.There are those who cannot free themselves of enslavement to whatever addiction—drugs, welfare, the demoralization that rules the slums.There is crime to be conquered, the rough crime of the streets.There are young women to be helped who are about to become mothers of children they can't care for and might not love.They need our care, our guidance, and our education, though we bless them for choosing life.The old solution, the old way, was to think that public money alone could end these problems.But we have learned that is not so.And in any case, our funds are low.We have a deficit to bring down.We have more will than wallet;but will is what we need.We will make the hard choices, looking at what we have and perhaps allocating it differently, making our decisions based on honest need and prudent safety.And then we will do the wisest thing of all: We will turn to the only resource we have that in times of need always grows—the goodness and the courage of the American people.I am speaking of a new engagement in the lives of others, a new activism, hands-on and involved, that gets the job done.We must bring in the generations, harnessing the unused talent of the elderly and the unfocused energy of the young.For not only leadership is passed from generation to generation, but so is stewardship.And the generation born after the Second World War has come of age.I have spoken of a thousand points of light, of all the community organizations that are spread like stars throughout the Nation, doing good.We will work hand in hand,encouraging, sometimes leading, sometimes being led, rewarding.We will work on this in the White House, in the Cabinet agencies.I will go to the people and the programs that are the brighter points of light, and I will ask every member of my government to become involved.The old ideas are new again because they are not old, they are timeless: duty, sacrifice, commitment, and a patriotism that finds its expression in taking part and pitching in.We need a new engagement, too, between the Executive and the Congress.The challenges before us will be thrashed out with the House and the Senate.We must bring the Federal budget into balance.And we must ensure that America stands before the world united, strong, at peace, and fiscally sound.But, of course, things may be difficult.We need compromise;we have had dissension.We need harmony;we have had a chorus of discordant voices.For Congress, too, has changed in our time.There has grown a certain divisiveness.We have seen the hard looks and heard the statements in which not each other's ideas are challenged, but each other's motives.And our great parties have too often been far apart and untrusting of each other.It has been this way since Vietnam.That war cleaves us still.But, friends, that war began in earnest a quarter of a century ago;and surely the statute of limitations has been reached.This is a fact: The final lesson of Vietnam is that no great nation can long afford to be sundered by a memory.A new breeze is blowing, and the old bipartisanship must be made new again.To my friends—and yes, I do mean friends—in the loyal opposition—and yes, I mean loyal: I put out my hand.I am putting out my hand to you, Mr.Speaker.I am putting out my hand to you, Mr.Majority Leader.For this is the thing: This is the age of the offered hand.We can't turn back clocks, and I don't want to.But when our fatherswere young, Mr.Speaker, our differences ended at the water's edge.And we don't wish to turn back time, but when our mothers were young, Mr.Majority Leader, the Congress and the Executive were capable of working together to produce a budget on which this nation could live.Let us negotiate soon and hard.But in the end, let us produce.The American people await action.They didn't send us here to bicker.They ask us to rise above the merely partisan.“In crucial things, unity”—and this, my friends, is crucial.To the world, too, we offer new engagement and a renewed vow: We will stay strong to protect the peace.The “offered hand” is a reluctant fis t;but once made, strong, and can be used with great effect.There are today Americans who are held against their will in foreign lands, and Americans who are unaccounted for.Assistance can be shown here, and will be long remembered.Good will begets good will.Good faith can be a spiral that endlessly moves on.Great nations like great men must keep their word.When America says something, America means it, whether a treaty or an agreement or a vow made on marble steps.We will always try to speak clearly, for candor is a compliment, but subtlety, too, is good and has its place.While keeping our alliances and friendships around the world strong, ever strong, we will continue the new closeness with the Soviet Union, consistent both with our security and with progress.One might say that our new relationship in part reflects the triumph of hope and strength over experience.But hope is good, and so are strength and vigilance.Here today are tens of thousands of our citizens who feel the understandable satisfaction of those who have taken part in democracy and seen their hopes fulfilled.But my thoughts have been turning the past few days to those who would be watching at home, to an older fellow whowill throw a salute by himself when the flag goes by, and the women who will tell her sons the words of the battle hymns.I don't mean this to be sentimental.I mean that on days like this, we remember that we are all part of a continuum, inescapably connected by the ties that bind.Our children are watching in schools throughout our great land.And to them I say, thank you for watching democracy's big day.For democracy belongs to us all, and freedom is like a beautiful kite that can go higher and higher with the breeze.And to all I say: No matter what your circumstances or where you are, you are part of this day, you are part of the life of our great nation.A President is neither prince nor pope, and I don't seek a window on men's souls.In fact, I yearn for a greater tolerance, an easy-goingness about each other's attitudes and way of life.There are few clear areas in which we as a society must rise up united and express our intolerance.The most obvious now is drugs.And when that first cocaine was smuggled in on a ship, it may as well have been a deadly bacteria, so much has it hurt the body, the soul of our country.And there is much to be done and to be said, but take my word for it: This scourge will stop.And so, there is much to do;and tomorrow the work begins.I do not mistrust the future;I do not fear what is ahead.For our problems are large, but our heart is larger.Our challenges are great, but our will is greater.And if our flaws are endless, God's love is truly boundless.Some see leadership as high drama, and the sound of trumpets calling, and sometimes it is that.But I see history as a book with many pages, and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning.The new breeze blows, a page turns, the story unfolds.And so today a chapter begins, a small and stately story of unity, diversity, and generosity—shared, and written,together.Thank you.God bless you and God bless the United States of America.第三篇:尼克松访华演讲美国总统尼克松在欢迎晚会上的演讲总理先生,以及今晚的来宾,代表所有美国来宾,我想感谢你们无比的热情款待,中国人民正是因此而世界闻名的。

布什就职演说英文版

布什就职演说英文版下面介绍的是布什就职演说英文版,希望对您有所帮助!首席大法官伦奎斯特,卡特总统,布什总统,总统克林顿,尊敬的来宾们,我的同胞们,和平的权力移交在历史上很少见,但在我国却很普遍。

随着一个简单的誓言,我们肯定旧的传统,创造新的开始。

首先,我感谢克林顿总统为我们国家做出的贡献。

我感谢副总统戈尔以精神和以优雅结束。

我很荣幸也很谦卑地站在这里,许多美国领导人在我之前,会有很多人跟随。

在一个漫长的故事中,我们都有自己的位置一个我们继续的故事,但是我们看不到他的结局。

这是一个新世界的故事旧时代的朋友和解放者,一个蓄奴社会的故事成为自由的仆人,一个权力进入世界的故事保护而不是占有,捍卫而不是征服。

这是美国的故事一个有缺陷和易犯错的人团结一致的故事一代又一代伟大而持久的理想。

这些理想中最伟大的是正在展现的美国承诺每个人都是渴望每个人都有机会,没有一个微不足道的人曾经出生。

美国人被要求在我们的生活和法律中实现这一承诺。

t尽管我们的国家有时停止,有时拖延,但我们必须跟随no其他课程。

在上个世纪的大部分时间里,美国对自由和民主的信念是汹涌大海中的一块岩石。

现在它是风中的一粒种子,扎根于许多国家。

我们的民主信念不仅仅是我们国家的信条,它是天生h希望我们的人性,一个我们拥有但不拥有的理想,一个我们拥有的信任走开。

即使过了将近225年,我们还有很长的路要走旅行。

虽然我们的许多公民繁荣昌盛,但其他人怀疑这一承诺,甚至怀疑正义,我们自己国家的正义。

一些美国人的雄心是有限的失败的学校和隐藏的偏见以及他们所处的环境出生。

有时我们的分歧如此之深,似乎我们有一个共同之处大陆,但不是一个国家。

我们不接受,也不会允许。

我们的团结,我们的联盟每一代领导人和公民的严肃工作。

这是我庄严的誓言我将努力建设一个正义的国家机遇。

我知道这是我们力所能及的,因为我们被一种比在他的形象中创造我们平等的我们自己。

我们对团结和带领我们前进的原则充满信心。

美国总统乔治布什2020年就职演讲稿下面是小编为大家整理的美国总统乔治布什20xx年就职,希望大家能够从中有所收获!美国总统乔治布什20xx年就职演讲稿(中英文)January 20, 20xxPresident Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens:The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation; and I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story. A story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer. It is the American story. A story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals. The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born. Americans are called upon to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws; and though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedomand democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations. Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along; and even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth; and sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country. We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation; and this is my solemn pledge, "I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity." I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us equal in His image and we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them; and every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character. America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness. Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a timeof peace, the stakes of our debates appear small. But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most. We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. This commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous. Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives; we will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent; we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans; we will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge; and we will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake, America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests; we will show purpose without arrogance; we will meet aggression and bad faith withresolve and strength; and to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise. Whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love. The proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls. Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities, and all of us are diminished when any are hopeless. Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government. Some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws. Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do. I can pledge our nation to a goal, "When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side."。

小布什竞选演讲稿

大家好!今天,我站在这里,心中充满了激动和自豪。

我,乔治·W·布什,一个普通的美国人,一个热爱我们的国家、热爱我们的人民的美国人,站在这里,向你们表达我竞选美国总统的决心和信念。

首先,我要感谢所有支持我、信任我的朋友们。

正是因为有了你们的陪伴,我才能在今天站在这里,为实现我们的共同梦想而努力。

回顾过去,我们伟大的美国在历史的长河中,经历了无数的辉煌和挑战。

从独立战争到南北战争,从两次世界大战到冷战时期,我们始终站在世界的前列,为人类的进步和和平做出了巨大贡献。

然而,我们也要清醒地认识到,在新的历史时期,我们面临着前所未有的挑战。

亲爱的同胞们,我们正处在全球化、多极化、信息化的大背景下,世界正发生着深刻的变化。

我们的国家面临着一系列严峻的挑战,如恐怖主义、核扩散、能源危机、环境恶化、贫富差距等。

面对这些挑战,我们不能掉以轻心,更不能袖手旁观。

作为美国总统,我有责任带领我们的国家,勇敢地面对挑战,为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦而努力。

以下是我竞选美国总统的几点承诺:一、维护国家安全恐怖主义是威胁我们国家安全的首要敌人。

我将坚定不移地打击恐怖主义,消除恐怖主义的根源。

同时,我将与各国携手合作,共同维护世界和平与稳定。

二、促进经济发展经济发展是国家繁荣的基础。

我将采取有效措施,推动科技创新,提高劳动生产率,降低失业率,缩小贫富差距。

乔治 W 布什 就职演说

乔治 W 布什   就职演说

乔治W 布什就职演说
权利的和平过度在历史的上是牟见的,但在美国是平常的。

我们以朴素的宣言证明了古老的传统,开始了新的历程。

首先,我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家做出的贡献,也要感谢副总统谢戈尔在竞选过程中的风度。

站在这里,我很荣幸,也感到谦卑。

在我之前;许多美国人从这里起步;在我之后,也会有许多人从这里继续前进。

我们每一个人在一个漫长的故事中独有自己的位置,我们还在继续着这个小故事,但是看不到故事的结束。

是一个新大陆变成旧世界的朋友、并解放旧世界的的故事,是强国保护而不是占有世界、捍卫而不是征服世界,这就是美国的故事,使用伟大和永恒的理想,把分裂而又易于犯错误的民族的一代又一代人团结起来的故事。

这些理想中最伟大的是正在缓慢实现的美国的若言,这就是:每个人都有自己的价值,每个人都应该得到机会,从来没有人天生微贱。

美国人接受了召唤,要把这个若言变成生活中和法律上的现实。

虽然我们的国家有时停滞不前,但是我们不会遵循其他道路。

在上个世纪的大部分时间里,美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海里的礁石。

如今,她是风中的种子,正在许多其他国家里扎根。

民主信念不仅是国家的信念,而且是全人类与生俱来的希望;我们坚持这个理想而不会独占,肩负这个信念并且不断传递下去。

将近225年过去了,但即是如此,我们h。

布什竞选总统的演讲稿

大家好!我是乔治·W·布什,一个普通的美国人,一个热爱这个国家的人。

今天,我站在这里,怀着无比激动的心情,向你们宣布:我将竞选美国总统!首先,我要感谢你们,感谢你们在过去的日子里给予我的支持与鼓励。

正是因为有了你们,我才有勇气走上这条道路,为我们的国家、为我们的未来而努力。

我们的国家正处于一个重要的历史时刻。

在全球化的浪潮中,我们面临着前所未有的机遇和挑战。

我们需要一个坚定的领导者,一个能够带领我们走向繁荣、和平与安全的总统。

在过去的几年里,我亲眼目睹了美国人民在困难时刻所展现出的坚韧和团结。

这种精神,正是我们国家的力量所在。

然而,我们也要清醒地看到,当前美国面临着诸多问题。

经济困境、社会不公、教育落后、医疗体系改革……这些问题困扰着每一个美国人,也考验着我们的国家。

作为一个有责任感的公民,我有义务站出来,为这些问题寻找解决方案。

3. 严厉打击犯罪,维护社会治安。

4. 改善教育资源分配,让每个孩子都有公平的教育机会。

小布什离职中英文演讲稿!八年的总统生涯,是美国人民赋予我的荣耀!21世纪的前10年是一个并不寻常的时期.今晚,我带着一颗感恩的心来到这里,并且我希望你们能给我最后一次机会,因为我想和你们分享我对过去八总统生涯的想法,以及我对国家未来的展望.5天以后,全世界就将会看到美国民主的活力.我即将把我的工作交由你们心目中的理想总统,奥巴马!能够接受全美人民崇敬的人,必须能够为你们,为这片土地带来希望.对于我们的国家来说,这是一个充满希望和自豪的时刻.并且,我渴望与美国人民一道为奥巴马,他的妻子和两个漂亮的女儿送去美好的祝愿.今天,我满怀感激之情,感谢我的副总统切尼以及我所有的政府成员.我还要感谢我的妻子劳拉和我的女儿芭芭拉,詹娜,是她们给我的生活带来了无尽的快乐和爱意.我感谢我的父母,是他们给予了我前进的动力.最重要的是,我感谢美国人民给予我的信任.,我感谢你们给予我的勇气、宽容.今晚,我的思绪回到了2001年的9月11日.当天早晨,恐怖分子带走了近3000人的生命.自珍珠港事件后,恐怖分子制造了美国历史上最严重的一次恐怖袭击.我想起了3天后我站在世贸中心废墟前的情景,那时,我诚挚地与那些夜以继日抢救伤者的救援工人们交谈,他们不顾自己的危险,在浓烟滚滚的五角大楼的走廊里抓紧工作.同时,我也为不幸遇难的人感到痛心,他们是我们的英雄!我想起了阿琳-霍华德,他当时把他死去儿子的警察盾牌交给了我,以表达对逝者的思念之情.而现在,我仍然珍藏着他的徽章.随着时间的推移,大部分的美国人民能够从悲痛中解脱出来,并重归“9.11”之前正常的生活.然而,我还没有解脱.每天清晨,我都会收到简报,获知是什么还在威胁着我们国家的安全,并且我发誓一定会竭尽全力来维护你们的安全.在过去的7年中,我们成立了新的国土安全部.我们的军队,军事情报部门,以及FBI都进行了改革.为了监视恐怖分子的行动,我们已经做了充分的准备,我们冻结了恐怖分子的账户,并屡屡打破了他们的图谋.我们身边也有强大的同盟国,并且我们携起手来共同打击恐怖分子以及那些支持恐怖分子的人.在我们的帮助下,阿富汗已经由恐怖主义的天堂转变成了一个尚未成熟的民主国家,那里的人们正和恐怖主义战斗.此外,女孩子上学也得到了应有的尊重.伊拉克也已经摆脱了萨达姆的残酷统治,并且其不再是美国人民的敌人.相反,伊拉克已经成为了中东地区阿拉伯民主的核心和美国的朋友.针对我的许多决策,有人对其合法性表示出怀疑.但是,当我们看到结果时这些人就不会再发出疑问了.在过去的七年多来,美国本土再也没有遭受过恐怖袭击.这要归功于那些日夜辛劳保护我们安全的人们:执法人员、情报分析员、国土安全人员、外交人员、以及美军的士兵们.受上帝的恩典,美国有这些愿意在国家危难之际挺身保护他人的公民.我非常珍惜美国可以拥有这些无私的爱国者及其家庭.美国感激你们.对于那些正在收听的演讲的美军士兵们来说,没有什么荣誉要比让你当上总司令还要崇高.美军正在从事的战争从属于两种系统之间的冲突,而这两种系统又有天壤之别.在其中的一种系统中,一小撮狂热分子要求所有人都服从于他们所制定的暴虐的意识形态,这些人让妇女屈从,而对那些不相信他们暴政的人进行谋杀.而另一种系统则相信自由是上帝给予全世界的礼物,自由与正义是通往和平的道路.美国,正是基于这样的信念诞生的.从长远来看,推广这种理念是保护我们公民的唯一选择.当人们生活在自由之中时,他们就不愿再去选择那些追求恐怖活动的领导者.当人们对未来怀有希望时,他们就不会将自己的生命交给暴力和极端主义.环视全球,美国正在推动人类自由、人权及人的尊严的发展.我们同持有不同政见者以及年轻的民主国家同在,我们为挽救生命而提供治疗艾滋病的药物,我们避免母亲和自己的孩子染上疟疾.自由是美国成立的唯一基石,并且领导世界向一个自由普照全球的时代发展.过去的八年,我们努力扩大美国人民所拥有的机会与希望.在美国,学生不断上进,以求符合公立学校更高的标准.对于老人和残疾人来说,一种新的医疗处方药福利令他们颇感舒心.每个纳税人缴纳了更少的税款.通过以信仰为基础的治疗项目,那些瘾君子和痛苦的人们找到了新希望.过去八年来的工作更好地保护了人脆弱的生命.对于退伍老兵的补助几乎增加了一倍.美国的一山一水都真切地变得更为干净.睿智的山姆-阿力拓、首席法官约翰-罗伯茨加入到联邦法院中.当美国的繁荣遇到挑战时,我们勇敢地去面对.当金融危机发生时,我们采取果断措施来保护我们的经济.对于那些辛勤工作的家庭来说,这些都是十分艰难的时期.但是如果我们不采取行动的话,结果将会更为糟糕.所有的美国人都站在了一起.凭借着我们的决心和辛勤工作,我们将美国经济重新拉回到增长的车道上.我们将向世界再次展现美国自由企业制度的复兴.正如所有前任总统一样,我也曾经历过挫折.如果可能的话,我会采取不一样的方式来应对这些措施.但是,我总是为国家利益的最大化来行动.你也许会不同意我所做出的一些决定,但我希望你能理解我是愿意采取这些措施的.未来的几十年,美国将面对更多的艰难抉择,而有一些指导性原则可以塑造我们的道路.尽管我们的国家要比7年前更为安全,但目前美国最严峻的威胁仍然是另一场恐怖袭击.我们的敌人十分耐心,并且决心要再次发动袭击.美国没有故意挑起冲突.但是我们肩负着庄严的责任,必须同恐怖主义作斗争.我们不能骄傲自满,我们要坚定决心,我们绝不能放松警惕.与此同时,我们必须带着信心和清晰的目标参与世界事务.面对来自海外的威胁,在国内寻求安慰是一种诱人的举措.但是我们必须拒绝孤立主义与保护主义.退缩只会找来危险.在21世纪,国内的安全和繁荣需要依靠国外自由的扩展.如果美国不领导自由事业,那么自由事业就将无所适从.一方面我们在处理这些眼前和未来的挑战,另一方面美国必须保持自己在道义上的明确性.我经常谈及善恶问题,这令一些人颇感不适.但是目前这个世界确实存在着善恶双方,而且双方之间无法达成妥协.通过谋杀无辜来宣扬某种意识形态无论在何时何地都是错误的.将人们从压迫与绝望中解救出来是永远正确的.美国必须坚持为正义与真理而呼喊,我们必须保护正义与真理,并且推动和平事业的发展.托马斯-杰斐逊曾写到:“相比于过去的历史,我更喜欢未来的梦想.”随着我马上要离开白宫,我赞同杰斐逊这样的乐观精神.美国是一个年轻的国家,充满了活力,不断发展与更新.即便在最艰难的时候,美国仍然没有放弃对未来的梦想.我了解我们民族的特质,因此我也相信美国的明天会更美好.这是一个鼓励移民们为自由的梦想而去尝试一切事情的国家,这是一个在面对危险使仍然镇定的国家,这是一个面对苦难仍抱有同情心的国家.我们在身边的每一个人身上都可以看到美国的特征.今晚,受我和夫人劳拉的邀请,一切代表也来到了白宫.我在外科医生克里索夫身上看到了美国人民的伟大个性.克里索夫的儿子,一名海军,在伊拉克光荣地献出了自己的生命.当我见到克里索夫和他家人的时候,他告诉了我一个惊人的消息:他告诉我,为了缅怀儿子,他希望加入美国海军医疗团.克里索夫已经60岁了,超过了年龄限制,但是他的申请得到了批准.在过去的一年中,克里索夫接受了良好的训练,但已经荣升少校的他今晚不能来到这里,他很快就会前往伊拉克,在那里他可以救助我们受伤的勇士并继续他儿子为完成的事业.同时,从美国公民身上,我看到了我们国家优秀的一面—我们的国家充满关怀和希望,这样的优点令我对国家有着坚贞的信念.我们面临着危险和审判,而且在未来我们仍将需要应对更多的挑战.然而,依靠你们的勇气和信心,伟大的美国永远会稳如磐石,从来不会走向没落.对我来说,能够担任你们的总统,是我一生的荣耀.我有过欢乐也有过困苦.但是,每天我都会受到伟大祖国的鼓舞,并且我也一直在为我们的国家祈祷.在以后的时光里,我会永远珍视这样一段话:美利坚合众国的公民.我亲爱的同胞们,我的演说就到这里了,晚安!愿上帝保佑奥巴马!愿上帝保佑你和我们美好的国家!Fellow citizens: For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence -- a time set apart. Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey that we have traveled together, and the future of our nation. Five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of American democracy. In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the American people. Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land. This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation. And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-Elect Obama, his wife Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.Tonight I am filled with gratitude -- to Vice President Cheney and members of my administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime. And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me. I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits. And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity, and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years.This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house -- September the 11th, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I remember standing in the rubble of the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon, and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93.I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son's police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge.As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community, and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists' movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots. And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States.There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions. But there can be little debate about the results. America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe -- law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women of the United States Armed Forces.Our nation is blessed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger. I have cherished meeting these selfless patriots and their families. And America owes you a debt of gratitude. And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight: There has been no higher honor than serving as your Commander-in-Chief.The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens. When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. When people have hope in thefuture, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism. So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights, and human dignity. We're standing with dissidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to dying patients -- to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria. And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.For eight years, we've also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. The addicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America's air and water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John RobertsWhen challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them. Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy. These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted. All Americans are in this together. And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth. We will show the world once again the resilience of America's free enterprise system.Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks. There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I've always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. Our enemies are patient, and determined to strike again. America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never let down our guard.At the same time, we must continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose. In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger. In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad. If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.As we address these challenges -- and others we cannot foresee tonight -- America must maintain our moral clarity. I've often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always bewilling to act in their defense -- and to advance the cause of peace.President Thomas Jefferson once wrote, "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past." As I leave the house he occupied two centuries ago, I share that optimism. America is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing itself. And even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ahead.I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people. This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom. This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger, and compassion in the face of suffering. We see examples of America's character all around us. And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.We see America's character in Dr. Tony Recasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina. We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society. We've seen it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.We see America's character in Bill Krissoff -- a surgeon from California. His son, Nathan -- a Marine -- gave his life in Iraq. When I met Dr. Krissoff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son. This good man was 60 years old -- 18 years above the age limit. But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine. Lieutenant Commander Krissoff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America's wounded warriors -- and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.In citizens like these, we see the best of our country - resilient and hopeful, caring and strong. These virtues give me an unshakable faith in America. We have faced danger and trial, and there's more ahead. But with the courage of our people and confidence in our ideals, this great nation will never tire, never falter, and never fail.It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve as your President. There have been good days and tough days. But every day I have been inspired by the greatness of our country, and uplifted by the goodness of our people. I have been blessed to represent this nation we love. And I will always be honored to carry a title that means more to me than any other - citizen of the United States of America.And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night. May God bless this house and our next President. And may God bless you and our wonderful country. Thank you. (Applause.)文案编辑词条B 添加义项?文案,原指放书的桌子,后来指在桌子上写字的人。

小布什演讲全文

小布什演讲全文

Thank you!Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves whocreates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.小布什出任美国总统的就职演说(二)America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.小布什出任美国总统的就职演说(三)Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.。

布什第二次就职演说演讲全文

布什第二次就职演说演讲全文

布什第二次就职演说演讲全文——将自由带到全世界“世界和平的最大希望在于把自由扩展到全世界。

”今天,按宪法规定我们举行这仪式。

在此,我们来欢庆我国宪法持久的智慧,追寻我们团结全国的深切责任感。

我感佩这时刻带来的荣耀,意识到我们时代的期盼并期待着完成我的誓言,请你们做证。

这是我们第二次聚会,我们的责任并非由我的讲演来确定,它源于我们当前历史时期的要求。

半个世纪以来,美国在遥远的边界上捍卫着我们的自由。

共产主义破产后我们有相对平和,懒散的年月,而后是火光四射的那一天。

我们已明了自身的弱点,我们也深知其根源。

只要世界某些区域酝酿着不满滋生着暴君,就会产生宣扬仇恨和为屠杀寻找借口的意识形态,就会聚集暴力和毁灭的能量,它们会越过严密把守的边界带来毁灭的威胁。

这世界只存在一种力量可以冲决仇恨揭露暴君的虚伪,扶植容忍培育尊严,那就是人类的自由。

我们受常识的指引和历史的教诲,得到如下结论:自由是否能在我们的土地上存在,正日益依赖于自由在别国的胜利。

对和平的热切期望只能源于自由在世界上的扩展。

******基于此,美国的政策是寻求并支持世界各国和各种文化背景下成长的民主运动,寻求并支持民主的制度化。

最终的目标是终结世间的任何极权制度。

这个目标最终不应由暴力达成,尽管在必要时,我们将以武力自卫,并保卫我们的朋友。

自由的性质要求公民去自觉地选择它,捍卫它,并通过立法加以维护,同时保障劣势者。

当一个国家的魂魄最终选择自由时,它的制度将反映着不同于我们的文化和传统。

美国将不会强迫任何国家接受我们的国家体制。

我们的目的,是帮助其他国家找到自己的声音,获得自身的自由,发现自己的自由之路。

终结专制统治的巨大使命是几代人努力的目标。

其难度不是束手无为的借口。

美国的影响有限,但值得庆幸的是,美国的影响也是有力的,我们将充满信心地在追求自由的道路上帮助你们。

我最庄严的责任是保护我的国家和它的人民不再受到任何袭击和威胁。

有些人不明智地选择了试探美国的决心,他们发现了我们坚定的意志。

今晚,让我表达对副总统切尼和内阁成员的感激之情;我还要感谢劳拉(译者注:布什的夫人),是你为我们的家庭带来欢乐,为我的生活带来爱;还要感谢我们的女儿,芭芭拉和詹纳;以及我的父母――是他们的榜样为我提供了一生的力量。

而最重要的,我要感谢你们――美国人民,感谢你们给予我的信任。

感谢你们的祈祷,它振奋着我的灵魂。

感谢在过去八年间我所见证过的,无以计数的勇气、慷慨、和仁爱。

今晚,我的思绪回到2001年9月11日,我第一次在这里向全国发表讲话。

那个早上,恐怖分子在那次自珍珠港事件以来,美国所遭受过的最严重的袭击中夺去了近3000名美国人民的生命。

我记得三天后,我站在世贸中心的废墟之中,身边是加班加点连续作战的救援人员。

我记得与那些穿越五角大楼浓烟的勇士们的对话,以及与93航班上殉难英雄们的妻子或丈夫们的交谈。

我记得艾琳•霍华德。

她把她逝去的儿子的警徽送给我。

那个警徽提示我们所有失去的记忆――我至今仍然随身携带他的徽章。

随着时间的逝去,大多数美国人能够恢复到9.11之前的正常生活中去。

芮恩奎斯特:上帝保佑我。

布什:上帝保佑我。

芮恩奎斯特:恭喜!谢谢大家!尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官,卡特总统,布什总统,克林顿总统,尊敬的来宾们,我的同胞们,这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的,但在美国是平常的。

我们以朴素的宣誓庄严地维护了古老的传统,同时开始了新的历程。

首先,我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家作出的贡献,也感谢副总统戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与风度。

站在这里,我很荣幸,也有点受宠若惊。

在我之前,许多美国领导人从这里起步;在我之后,也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。

在美国悠久的历史中,我们每个人都有自己的位置;我们还在继续推动着历史前进,但是我们不可能看到它的尽头。

这是一部新世界的发展史,是一部后浪推前浪的历史。

这是一部美国由奴隶制社会发展成为崇尚自由的社会的历史。

这是一个强国保护而不是占有世界的历史,是捍卫而不是征服世界的历史。

这就是美国史。

它不是一部十全十美的民族发展史,但它是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的历史。

这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺,这就是:每个人都有自身的价值,每个人都有成功的机会,每个人天生都会有所作为的。

美国人民肩负着一种使命,那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。

虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退,但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。

在上个世纪的大部分时间里,美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。

现在它更像风中的种子,把自由带给每个民族。

在我们的国家,民主不仅仅是一种信念,而是全人类的希望。

民主,我们不会独占,而会竭力让大家分享。

民主,我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。

225年过去了,我们仍有很长的路要走。

有很多公民取得了成功,但也有人开始怀疑,怀疑我们自己的国家所许下的诺言,甚至怀疑它的公正。

失败的教育,潜在的偏见和出身的环境限制了一些美国人的雄心。

布什告别演讲稿精选(中英文对照)Bushsfarewellspeech第一篇:布什告别演讲稿精选(中英文对照)Bush's farewell speech THE PRESIDENT: Fellow citizens: For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence — a time set apart. Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey that we have traveled together, and the future of our nation.Five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of American democracy. In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the American people. Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land. This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation. And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-Elect Obama, his wife Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.Tonight I am filled with gratitude — to Vice President Cheney and members of my administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime. And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me. I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits. And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity, and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years.This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house —September the 11th, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I remember standing in the rubbleof the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon, and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93. I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son’s police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge.As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community, and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists’ movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots. And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States.There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions. But there can be little debate about the results. America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe — law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women ofthe United States Armed Forces.Our nation is blessed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger. I have cherished meeting these selfless patriots and their families. And America owes you a debt of gratitude. And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight: There has been no higher honor than serving as your Commander-in-Chief.The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens. When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism. So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights, and human dignity. We’re standing with dissidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to dying patients — to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria. And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.For eight years, we’ve also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. Theaddicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America’s air and water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.When challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them. Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy. These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted. All Americans are in this together. And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth. We will show the world once again the resilience of America’s free enterprise sys tem.Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks. There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I’ve always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. Our enemies are patient, and determined to strike again. America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never letdown our guard.At the same time, we must continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose. In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger. In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad. If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.As we address these challenges —and others we cannot foresee tonight —America must maintain our moral clarity. I’ve often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense —and to advance the cause of peace.President Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “I l ike the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.” As I leave the house he occupied two centuries ago, I share that optimism. America is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing itself. And even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ahead.I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people. This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom. This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger, and compassion in the face of suffering. We see examples ofAmerica’s character all around us. And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.We see America’s character in Dr. Tony Recasn er, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina. We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society. We’ve seen it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charg ed into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.We see America’s character in Bill Krissoff — a surgeon from California. His son, Nathan — a Marine — gave his life in Iraq. When I met Dr. Krissoff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son. This good man was 60 years old — 18 years above the age limit. But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine. Lieutenant Commander Krissoff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America’s wounded warriors — and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.In citizens like these, we see the best of our countrycitizen of the United States of America.And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night. May God bless this house and our next President. And may God bless you and our wonderful country. Thank you. (Applause.) 各位公民:八年来,我有幸担任你们的总统。

2004年乔治 沃克 布什(George W. Bush)胜选演讲稿

2004年乔治·沃克·布什(George W. Bush)在总统大选胜选后的演讲全文(英文):Thank you all. Laura and I appreciate your warm welcome, and we're grateful for the opportunity to gather here in this beautiful city at this beautiful moment in American history.Tonight, with a grateful heart, I have a special message for the people of America: My fellow citizens, my campaign has ended, but our work together has just begun.I want to thank my opponent, Senator Kerry. He has served our country with distinction and honor. And I now call on all Americans, as I have often called during this campaign, to come together, to work together, to unite for the good of our country.I have always believed that America's strength comes not from our government, but from our people. The dreams and aspirations of our citizens are what built this nation, and it is their dreams and aspirations that will continue to lead us into the future.In the coming days and weeks, I will reach out my hand to those who did not support me, and I will seek their counsel and their help so that we can move forward together.The challenges we face are real and they are tough. But I have always believed that if we stay true to our values, if we stay true to our principles, and if we stay united, there is no challenge we cannot meet, no problem we cannot solve.We will continue to fight the war on terror with every means necessary to protect our citizens and our way of life. We will stand strong for freedom and democracy around the world.And we will work tirelessly to bring peace and prosperity to all people.To the millions of volunteers, organizers, and supporters who worked tirelessly on my campaign, I want to say thank you. Your dedication and hard work made this victory possible.And to my family, my wonderful wife Laura, my dear mother Barbara, my sister Dorothy, my brother Jeb, and all my other family members and friends, I love you, and I thank you for your unwavering support.This is a moment of great pride for our country, and it is a moment of great hope for our future. Together, we will continue to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more united America.Thank you, and may God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.。

就职演说1989年1月20日首席大法官先生①,总统先生②,奎尔③副总统,米切尔④参议员,赖特⑤议长,多尔⑥参议员,米歇尔⑦众议员,同胞们,邻友们,朋友们:①指威廉·H·伦奎斯特。

他于1986年出任联邦最高法院首席大法官。

②指第四十任总统罗纳德·威尔逊·里根。

③詹姆斯·丹福思·奎尔,曾任国会众议员、参议员,1988年作为布什的竞选伙伴当选副总统。

④乔治·约翰·米切尔,国会民主党参议员,当时为参议院多数党领袖。

⑤小詹姆斯·克劳德·赖特,1957—1959年任众议院议长。

⑥罗伯特·J·多尔,国会参议员。

⑦罗伯特·亨利·米歇尔,国会共和党众议员,当时为众议院少数党领袖。

我们这里有一位人士,他在我们的心中和我国历史上赢得了永久的地位。

里根总统,我谨代表我国人民向你致谢,感谢你对美国作出的杰出贡献。

刚才,我逐字逐句地重复了乔治·华盛顿二百年前宣读过的誓词,我的手所按的也正是他当年按过的那部《圣经》。

今天,我们应当纪念华盛顿,这不仅是因为今天这次典礼乃是我国首任总统就职二百周年的纪念,同时也是因为华盛顿仍然是我们的国父。

我想他的在天之灵一定会为今天而感到高兴,因为今天具体体现了一个令人振奋的事实——我国政府自成立以来的二百年里,一直保持着连续性。

今天,我们相聚于民主大厦①的前门走廊,这是一个我们以邻居和朋友的身分进行交谈的好地方。

因为今天我国人民变成了一个整体,我们的分歧也得以暂时搁置。

而我作为总统的第一个举动,就是要进行祈祷。

我请各位低下头来:①指国会大厦。

“在天的父啊,我们俯首向您致谢,感谢您的垂爱。

请接受我们的谢意吧,我们感谢促成今日盛典的安宁徉和局面,庆幸我们拥有使这种局面永世长存的共同信念。

让我们变得强大有力以完成您的使命吧,我们愿意关注和听从您的意旨,把…御力以助人‟这一蔑言铭刻在心头。

因为我们被赋予力量,并不是为了实现我们自己的目标,也不是为了在世界上大肆炫耀,更不是为了追逐浮名。

正当运用力量的途径只有一条,那就是服务于人民。

主啊,佑助我们牢记这些吧。

阿门。

”在这个充满希望的时刻,我来到各位面前,就任总统之职。

我们生活在一个安宁、繁荣的时代,但我们有能力使之变得更加美好。

因为一股新的轻风正在吹拂,一个经过自由洗礼的新世界看来已经获得新生;因为独裁者的时代即便没有在事实上终结,它在人们的内心则已成为陈迹。

极权主义的时代正在逝去,其过时观念就像一棵古老衰朽之树的叶片,已随风飘零。

一股新的轻风正在吹拂,经过自由洗礼的全国人民已经做好出发的准备。

新的阵地有待我们去占领,新的行动有待我们去着手。

有时未来似乎为重重迷雾所遮蔽;于是人们就坐下来等待,盼望迷雾自行散去,正确的道路会清晰地出现在脚下。

但在这个时代,未来就像一扇打开的门,人们可以直接穿过,进入一个叫做明天的房间。

世界各个大国正在经过通向自由的大门走向民主。

全世界的男男女女则经过通向繁荣的大门进入市场。

全世界人民正在经过通向只有自由才能赋予的道德与智性满足的大门,奋力争取言论自由和思想自由。

我们懂得发挥作用的东西是什么,那是自由;我知道正确的东西是什么,那也是自由。

我们知道怎样为地球上的人类争取更为公正和繁荣的生活,那就是借助自由市场、自由言论、自由选举以及不受国家干涉地行使自由意志。

人类再也毋须发明一套赖以生存的体制,这在本世纪乃是首次,在整个历史上或许也是破天荒的第一回。

我们现在用不着就何种政府形式更好这一问题进行喋喋不休的讨论。

我们也用不着从什么君王那里争取正义,而只须从我们自己内部把正义召唤出来即可。

我们必须根据我们所知的事物进行活动。

我把这种圣徒式的希望作为自己的行动指南——在关键的问题上,做到团结一致;在重大的问题上,允许多样性;在所有问题上,则须宽宏大量。

今天的美国乃是一个骄傲和自由的国家,庄严正派,谦和有礼,对于这样一个国度,我们怎能不十分热爱呢!我们固然不必大声张扬和自负自傲,但我们却从内心懂得一个简单的事实,即这个国家的意义决不仅限于我们所看到的一切,我们拥有的实力乃是一种向善的力量。

即便在我们这个时代,我们作为一个国家是否也发生了变化呢?我们是否已被物质层面的事物所迷惑,而不再像过去那样欣赏工作和牺牲的崇高伟大了呢?我的朋友们,我们并不等于我们所拥有财产的总和,那些东西也不能成为评价我们生活的尺度。

我们在内心懂得什么是至关重要的。

我们不能只希望仅仅留给自己的后代一辆更大的汽车或一笔更多的银行存款。

我们应当寄希望于让他们懂得,做一个忠实的朋友意味着什么,做一个慈爱的家长意味着什么,以及做一个离别家人、邻里和家乡后仍能留下更好名声的公民意味着什么。

当我们不在某一个地方时,我们会希望那些与我们共过事的男男女女说些什么呢?是说我们比任何人都更没命地追求成功吗?或者是我们自己停下来自问一声:当一个生病的孩子已经好转,我们会稍停片刻同他友好地交谈几句吗?任何总统、任何政府都不能教导我们应记住什么东西对我们是最好的。

但是,你们推选出来领导这个政府的人,如果能够发挥一定的作用,如果他会赞美那些不是由金银而是由更美好的心灵构成的平静而深刻的成功,如果他能做到这些事情,那他就应当去做。

美国若不奉行崇高的道德准则,就永远无法实现自身的完善。

今天,我们作为一个民族,就具有这样一个目标。

这个目标旨在使我们国家的面貌变得更加仁厚善良,使这个世界的面貌变得更加温文尔雅。

我的朋友们,我们有许多事情要做。

有些人无家可归,已经迷失方向,正在四处徘徊。

有些孩子失去了一切,既没有亲人之爱,也无法享有正常的生活。

有些人则无法摆脱各种个人癖好的奴役,他们沉溺于吸毒、依赖救济为生,或沾染上各种肆虐于贫民窟的堕落习气。

有不少犯罪行为有待于制压,譬如那些大街上的粗暴罪行。

还有一些年轻的妇女①需要帮助,她们就要做母亲了,但对自己将要出生的孩子不是无法照顾,就是可能不会加以爱护。

他们需要我们去关心,去引导,去进行教育,尽管我们衷心祝福他们选择合适的生活。

①指未婚怀孕的妇女。

过去的解决办法和过去的途径,是片面相信政府的公共开支即可消除这些问题。

但我们已经了解到,情况并非如此。

而且不论怎样说,我们的资金总是有限的。

我们还要削减赤字。

②我们的愿望总是超过我们钱袋的支付能力,而愿望又正是我们所需要的东西。

②参见本书第446页注释④和第461页注释①。

我们要做出艰难的决择,对我们拥有的东西细加盘算,或许还要进行重新配置,使我们的决策立足于真正的需要和审慎的安全之上。

于是我们要做一件最为明智的事情,那就是求助于美国人民的善良品质和无畏勇气,这乃是我们所拥有的、在需要之时能够不断增长的唯一资源。

我现在倡导重新关心他人的生活,倡导一种新的积极行动精神,大家动手,全力投入,以期大功告成。

我们应当把不同年龄层的人都吸收进来,发挥老年人的未尽之才,调动年轻人未用在正处的精力。

因为代代相传的不仅是领导职位,而且还有对国家事务的管理。

而且,第二次世界大战后出生的一代人也已经成年。

我已谈及千万盏明灯的作用,也就是那些星罗棋布于全国各地、正在从事有益工作的所有社区组织。

我们要携手工作,鼓足勇气,或发挥领导作用,或服从领导,这样就必能有所收获。

我们在白宫、在各内阁机构都要致力于此。

我会到人民中间去,发起一些更有意义的项目,我也会要求本政府的所有成员参与其事。

履行义务、作出牺牲、实践承诺以及爱国精神这些古老的观念,又获得了新的生机,因为它们并不陈旧,而是超越时间的,它们都会在人们的参与和奋斗中得到体现。

在政府的行政部门和国会之间,我们也需要达成一项新的约定。

只要白宫和参、众两院协同努力,我们面临的挑战就会被一扫而光。

我们必须使联邦预算恢复平衡。

我们还应当保证美国在全世界面前显得团结一致,坚如磐石,爱好和平,而且财政健全。

当然,事情不会是一帆风顺的。

我们需要妥协让步,因为我们之间有过纷争不和;我们需要和睦相处,因为我们当中存在过激烈的意见分歧。

在我们这个时代,就是国会也发生了变化,其中发生了一定程度的分化,我们曾经看到人们怒气满面,听到人们发表各种声明,这些声明所体现的并不是不同观点的较量,而是各自动机的争执。

①而且我们的两大党②通常处于互不往来和互不信任的状态。

①在第四十任总统罗纳德·威尔逊·里根当政时期,行政部门与国会经常为一些意识形态方面的问题发生争执。

②指共和党和民主党。

自越南战争③以来,情形就一直如此。

这场战争至今仍使我们发生分裂。

但是,朋友们,这场战争始于足足二十五年以前,而且肯定已经达到了法律所能允许的极限。

事实是我们从越南战争中得出了一条最后的教训,这就是任何大国都无法长期承受由记忆的阴影所造成的分裂。

③详见本书第411页注释①。

一股清风正在吹拂,原来的两党制①也必须更新。

①详见本书第458页注释①。

我要向那些忠诚的反对派朋友们伸出我的手。

是的,我的意思的确是说,他们虽然处于反对派地位,但忠诚于我们的国家,因而仍是我的朋友。

议长先生②,我把我的手向你伸出;多数党领袖先生③,我也正向你伸出我的手。

因为事情就是这样——我们处于一个握手言和的时代。

我们无法使时钟倒转,我也不想这样。

但是,议长先生,当我们的父辈年轻之时,我们的分歧仅限于对外事务方面。

我们也不希望让时光倒流,但是,多数党领袖先生,我们的母亲年轻之时,国会和行政部门能够一起合作,共同制订我国得以生存的预算方案。

让我们迅速而努力地进行协商,但最终我们需要得出结果。

④②指小詹姆斯·克劳德·赖特。

③指乔治·约翰·米切尔。

④布什上任时,民主党乃是国会的多数党,所以他极力谋求两党合作,以改变第四十任总统罗纳德·威尔逊·里根时期的冲突与不和。

美国人民在等待我们采取行动。

他们把我们派到这里,不是要我们相互斗嘴争吵。

他们要求我们超越纯粹的党派立场。

我说过,在关键问题上我们要团结一致,朋友们,这个就是关键的问题。

对于世界各国,我们也提出新的约定,做出新的保证:我们会保持强大的实力以捍卫和平。

“握手言和的手”实际乃是一只不愿捏拢的拳头,而这只拳头一旦捏拢,就会十分有力,在运用当中也会产生极大的效力。

今天,仍有美国人被违心地羁留在异国他乡,也有一些美国人下落不明。

在这里援助的意义就能得到显示,并且会被人们长久地铭记。

善有善报,美好的信仰能像一只从不停转的螺旋钻,不断地向前推进。

常言道,“大国如同伟人,应当格守诺言”。

美国一旦说了什么,便是真当一回事的,不论其形式是一项条约、一个协定或是在这大理石的台阶上做出的保证。

我们将永远力求言辞清楚明白,因为坦率乃是一种值得赞美的东西。

但巧妙同样有其价值,应当占有一席之地。
