2. 美國總統奧巴馬的演講稿

芝加哥,你好!

如果有人懷疑美國是個一切皆有可能的地方,懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們這個時代依然燃燒,懷疑我們民主的力量,那麼今晚這些疑問都有了答案。

學校和教堂門外的長龍便是答案。排隊的人數之多,在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投票,他們排隊長達三、四個小時。許多人一生中第一次投票,因為他們認為這一次大選結果必須不同以往,而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負。

無論年齡,無論貧富,無論民主黨人或共和黨人,無論黑人、白人,無論拉美裔、亞裔、印地安人, 無論同性戀、異性戀,無論殘障人、健全人,所有的人,他們向全世界喊出了同一個聲音:我們並不隸屬 「紅州」與 「藍州」的對立陣營,我們屬於美利堅合眾國,現在如此,永遠如此!

長久以來,很多人說:我們對自己的能量應該冷漠,應該恐懼,應該懷疑。但是,歷史之輪如今已在我們手中,我們又一次將歷史之輪轉往更美好的未來。

漫漫征程,今宵終於來臨。特殊的一天,特殊的一次大選,特殊的決定性時刻,美國迎來了變革。

剛才,麥凱恩參議員很有風度地給我打了個電話。在這次競選中,他的努力持久而艱巨。為了這個他摯愛的國家,他的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美國的奉獻超出絕大多數人的想像。他是一位勇敢無私的領袖,有了他的奉獻,我們的生活才更美好。我對他和佩林州長的成績表示祝賀。同時,我也期待著與他們共同努力,再續美國輝煌。

我要感謝我的競選搭檔——當選副總統喬•拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓市街頭長大、一起坐火車返回特拉華州的人們,拜登全心全意地竟選,他代表了這些普通人的聲音。

我要感謝下一位第一夫人米歇爾•奧巴馬。她是我家的中流砥柱,是我生命中的最愛。沒有她在過去16年來的堅定支持,今晚我就不可能站在這里。我要感謝兩個女兒薩沙和瑪麗婭,我太愛你們兩個了,你們將得到一條新的小狗,它將與我們一起入住白宮。我還要感謝已去世的外婆,我知道此刻她正在天上注視著我。她與我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們,他們對我的恩情比山高、比海深。

我要感謝我的競選經理大衛•普魯夫,感謝首席策劃師大衛•阿克塞羅德以及整個競選團隊,他們是政治史上最優秀的競選團隊。你們成就了今夜,我永遠感謝你們為今夜所付出的一切。

但最重要的是,我將永遠不會忘記這場勝利真正屬於誰---是你們!

我從來不是最有希望的候選人。起初,我們的資金不多,贊助人也不多。我們的競選並非始於華盛頓的華麗大廳,而是起於德莫奈地區某家的後院、康科德地區的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區的某家前廊。

勞動大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿來捐助我們的事業。年輕人證明了他們絕非所謂「冷漠的一代」。他們遠離家鄉和親人,拿著微薄的報酬,起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀的人也頂著嚴寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門助選。無數美國人自願組織起來,充當自願者。正是這些人壯大了我們的聲勢。他們的行動證明了在兩百多年以後,民有、民治、民享的政府並未從地球上消失。這是你們的勝利。

你們這樣做,並不只是為了贏得一場大選,更不是為了我個人。你們這樣做,是因為你們清楚未來的任務有多麼艱巨。今晚我們在歡慶,明天我們就將面對一生之中最為嚴峻的挑戰--兩場戰爭、一個充滿危險的星球,還有百年一遇的金融危機。今晚我們在這里慶祝,但我們知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,許許多多勇敢的美國人醒來後就將為了我們而面臨生命危險。許許多多的父母會在孩子熟睡後仍難以入眠,他們正在為月供、醫葯費,孩子今後的大學費用而發愁。我們需要開發新能源,創造就業機會,建造新學校,迎接挑戰和威脅,並修復與盟國的關系。

前方道路還很漫長,任務艱巨。一年之內,甚至一屆總統任期之內,我們可能都無法完成這些任務。但我從未像今晚這樣對美國滿懷希望,我相信我們會實現這個目標。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅民族將實現這一目標!

我們會遇到挫折,會出師不利,會有許多人不認同我的某一項決定或政策。政府並不能解決所有問題,但我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰。我會聆聽你們的意見,尤其是在我們意見相左之時。最重要的是,我會讓你們一起重建這個國家。用自己的雙手,從一磚一瓦做起。這是美國立國221年以來的前進方式,也是惟一的方式。

21個月前那個隆冬所開始的一切,絕不應在這一個秋夜結束。我們所尋求的變革並不只是贏得大選,這只是給變革提供了一個機會。假如我們照老路子辦事,就沒有變革;沒有你們,就沒有變革。

讓我們重新發揚愛國精神,樹立嶄新的服務意識、責任感,每個人下定決心,一起努力工作,彼此關愛;讓我們牢記這場金融危機帶來的教訓:不能允許商業街掙扎的同時卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個國家,我們作為同一個民族,同生死共存亡。

黨派之爭、瑣碎幼稚,長期以來這些東西荼毒了我們的政壇。讓我們牢記,當來自伊利諾伊州的一位先生首次將共和黨大旗扛進白宮時,伴隨著他的是自強自立、個人自由、國家統一的共和黨建黨理念。這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝,但我們態度謙卑,並決心彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧。

當年,林肯面對的是一個遠比目前更為分裂的國家。他說:「我們不是敵人,而是朋友……雖然激情可能不再,但是我們的感情紐帶不會割斷。」對於那些現在並不支持我的美國人,我想說,雖然我沒有贏得你們的選票,但我聽到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,我也將是你們的總統。
對於關注今夜結果的國際人士,不管他們是在國會、皇宮關注,還是在荒僻地帶收聽電台,我們的態度是:我們美國人的經歷各有不同,但我們的命運相關,新的美國領袖誕生了。對於想毀滅這個世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。對於追求和平和安全的人們,我們將支持你們。對於懷疑美國這盞燈塔是否依然明亮的人們,今天晚上我們已再次證明:美國的真正力量來源並非軍事威力或財富規模,而是我們理想的恆久力量:民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。

美國能夠變革,這才是美國真正的精髓。我們的聯邦會不斷完善。我們已經取得的成就,將為我們將來能夠並且必須取得的成就增添希望。
這次大選創造了多項「第一」,誕生了很多將流芳後世的故事,但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女:安妮•庫波爾。她和無數排隊等候投票的選民沒有什麼差別,唯一的不同是她高齡106歲。

在她出生的那個時代,黑奴制剛剛廢除。那時路上沒有汽車,天上沒有飛機。當時像她這樣的人由於兩個原因不能投票--一第一因為她是女性,第二個原因是她的膚色。
今天晚上,我想到了安妮在美國過去一百年間的種種經歷:心痛和希望,掙扎和進步,那些我們被告知我們辦不到的年代,以及我們現在這個年代。現在,我們堅信美國式信念——是的,我們能!
在那個年代,婦女的聲音被壓制,她們的希望被剝奪。但安妮活到了今天,看到婦女們站起來了,可以大聲發表意見了,有選舉權了。是的,我們能。
安妮經歷了上世紀三十年代的大蕭條。農田荒蕪,絕望籠罩美國大地。她看到了美國以新政、新的就業機會以及嶄新的共同追求戰勝了恐慌。是的,我們能。

二戰時期,炸彈襲擊我們的海港,全世界受到獨裁專制威脅,安妮見證了一代美國人的英雄本色,他們捍衛了民主。是的,我們能。
安妮經歷了蒙哥馬利公交車事件、伯明翰黑人暴動事件、塞爾馬血腥周末事件。來自亞特蘭大的一位牧師告訴人們:我們終將勝利。是的,我們能。

人類登上了月球、柏林牆倒下了,科學和想像把世界連成了一塊。今年,在這次選舉中,安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕,投下自己的一票。她在美國生活了106年,其間有最美好的時光,也有最黑暗的時刻,她知道美國能夠變革。是的,我們能。

美利堅,我們已經一路走來,我們已經看到了那麼多變化,但我們仍有很多事情要做。今夜,讓我們問自己這樣一個問題:假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個世紀,假如我的女兒們有幸與安妮一樣長壽,她們將會看到怎樣的改變?我們又取得了怎樣的進步?

現在,我們獲得了回答這個問題的機會。這是我們的時刻,我們的時代。讓我們的人民重新就業,為我們的孩子打開機會的大門;恢復繁榮,促進和平;讓美國夢重放光芒,再證這一根本性真理,那就是:團結一致,眾志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲諷和懷疑,說我們不能,我們就以這一永恆信條回應,因為它凝聚了整個民族的精神——是的,我們能!

謝謝大家!願上帝保佑你們,保佑美利堅合眾國。

3. 布希卸任演講詞原文《英文》

各位同胞:

過去的八年,我很榮幸地成為你們的總統。這個世紀的頭十年是一個非常重要的時期。今晚,帶著一顆感恩的心,我將利用這最後的機會和你們一起分享我的一些看法,對過去一起走過的時光以及我們國家未來的看法。

再過五天,世界將見證充滿活力的美國民主政治。根據我們建國時創立的傳統,總統職位將交給你們--美國人民選舉出來的繼任者。屆時站在國會台階上的那個人,他的經歷將折射出我們這個國家長久以來的承諾。對於我們整個國家來說,這是一個充滿希望和自豪的時刻。我將和其他所有美國人民一起,向當選總統奧巴馬、他的妻子米歇爾以及他們兩位美麗的女兒表達最美好的祝願。

今晚,我的內心充滿感激。我要感謝副總統切尼以及白宮的每一位工作人員;我要感謝勞拉,是她帶給了這個家庭無比的快樂,帶給我愛;我要感謝兩名優秀的女兒--巴巴拉和傑納;我要感謝我的父母,他們樹立的榜樣為我的一生提供了動力。除此之外,還我要感謝所有美國人民給予我的信任。謝謝你們的祈禱讓我鬥志昂揚。在過去的八年時間里,你們給了我無窮的勇氣和寬厚,我對此表示深深的感謝。

今晚,我的思緒重新回到2001年9月11日,當時我第一次在這里發表晚間演說。那天上午,恐怖分子對美國發動了自珍珠港事件以來最為嚴重的恐怖襲擊,造成約3000人死亡。我清楚地記得,我三天後站在世貿大樓的殘骸前,周圍是夜以繼日不停工作的救援人員。我記得我同那些穿過五角大樓濃煙密布的走廊進行救援的勇士們交談,同那些93號航班英雄們的妻子和愛人們對話。我還記得阿勒內-霍華德,她將自己已經犧牲的兒子的警徽送給我,提示我們所失去的一切。直到現在,我都一直保存著他的徽章。

隨著時光流逝,絕大多數美國人重新回到了911以前的生活狀態。但我卻從來沒有。每天早上,我都會聽取國家面臨威脅的一個簡報。那時我會發誓要盡我最大的努力來保證我們的安全。

在七年前,一個全新的機構--國土安全部正式成立了。美國的軍隊、情報機構以及聯邦調查局都進行了改造,我們的國家使用最新的裝備來監控恐怖分子的動向,凍結他們的財產並且粉碎他們的陰謀。和我們強有力的盟友一起,我們對恐怖分子以及他們的支持者宣戰。阿富汗原來是一個塔利班政權包庇「基地」組織,婦女走在街頭會遭到石頭襲擊的國家,但現在卻成為了一個新興的民主國家,它在與恐怖勢力做斗爭並且鼓勵女孩們上學。伊拉克也從一個殘暴的獨裁政權,一個發誓與美國不共戴天的國家,變成為中東心臟地帶的民主國家,變成為美國的朋友。

關於這些決策存在著一些合理的爭論,但對於這些結果卻沒有任何爭議。美國在過去的7年多時間里沒有再在本土遭到過恐怖襲擊,這要感謝那些日夜辛勤工作保衛我們安全的人,包括執法人員、情報分析人員、國土安全和外交官員,以及美國軍隊的男女士兵。

我們的國家非常幸運地擁有這樣的國民,當我們的國家處在危險之中時,他們自願起來保衛我們的國家。我非常珍視與這些無私的愛國者以及他們家人進行的會面,美國應該感謝你們。對於那些今晚正在聆聽這次演講的男女軍人們,我想說的是:這個世界上再也沒有比成為你們的總司令更讓人感到榮幸了。

我們的軍隊目前正在進行的戰爭,廣義上來看其實是兩種不同體系之間的戰爭。一種是一小撮狂熱分子要求人們完全臣服於壓迫的意識形態,他們迫害婦女並且殺害那些和他不一樣信仰的人。另外一種體系則建立在普世的民主基礎上,自由和正義照亮了和平之路。

我們的國家正是在這種信念下誕生的。長期來看,倡導這種信念是保衛我們國民的唯一切實有效的方法。當人們生活在民主政治中,他們就不會選舉出那些追隨恐怖勢力的領導人。當人們對未來充滿希望,他們就不會選擇放棄生命來發動暴力襲擊。因此,美國一直在全世界倡導自由、人權和尊嚴。我們向那些新興的民主政體提供支持,向艾滋病人提供葯物讓垂死的病人起死回生,讓母親和嬰兒們免受瘧疾的困擾。這個在自由基礎上誕生的偉大國家,正帶領全世界走向一個新時代,這個時代民主將屬於所有的國家。

過去八年裡,我們也努力地在國內擴張機會和希望。在全國,學生們現在可以在公立學校接受條件更好的教育;新的醫療福利政府讓老人和殘疾人更加安心;每一位納稅人的個人所得稅降低;通過信心重建計劃,那些吸毒者也找到了新的希望;人們脆弱的生命得到更好的保護;為老兵提供的資金保障幾乎增加一倍;美國的空氣、水源以及土地比以前更加清潔。

當繁榮遇到挑戰時,我們採取了行動。在面臨金融崩潰時,我們採取了決定性的措施來保衛經濟。對於那些辛苦工作的家庭來說,這是一個非常艱難的時期,但是如果我們不採取行動,後果會更嚴重,所有的美國人都受到了影響。團結一心的美國人將通過堅定信心和辛勤的工作來使我們的經濟再次走上成長之路。我們將向世界再次展示,美國自由企業制度的堅韌性。

和所有前任一樣,我也經歷過挫折,我也有一些失誤。不過,我的行動總是以我們國家的最佳利益為出發點。我對的起自己的良心,採取了我認為是正確的措施。你們可能不同意我所作出的一些艱難決定,但是我希望,你們能認為,我是一位願意作出艱難決定的總統。我們的國家在未來將面臨更多的艱難選擇,必須用一些指導性原則來指引我們的路線。

雖然我們的國家現在比七年前更為安全,但我們所面臨的最嚴重威脅仍然是恐怖襲擊。我們的敵人很有耐心,他們決心再次對我們發動襲擊。美國沒有試圖挑起沖突或者作過任何導致沖突的錯事。但我們有庄嚴的責任,必須負起責任。我們必須克服自滿,必須保持決心,不能放鬆警惕。

與此同時,我們必須抱有信心和明確目的與世界進行接觸。在面臨海外威脅的情況下,人們很容易受到孤立主義的誘惑,但是我們必須抵制孤立主義和保護主義,撤退至我們的國境線內只會招來危險。在21世紀,國內的安全和繁榮取決於自由事業在海外的擴展。如果美國不領導自由事業,那麼自由事業將沒有領導者。

在我們應對這些挑戰時,我們今晚還無法預測其它的挑戰,美國必須保持道德上的純潔。人們經常對你們談起正義和邪惡,這可能使一些人感到不舒服,但是這個世界存在著正義和邪惡,兩者之間不可能有妥協。無論何時何地,殺害無辜者來推動一種意識形態都是錯誤的,把人們從壓迫和絕望中解放出來永遠是正確的。美國必須為正義和真相說話。我們必須保衛它們,推進和平事業。

托馬斯-傑斐遜總統曾寫道:「我不緬懷過去的歷史,而致力於未來的夢想。」在我即將離開他兩個世紀前所居住的白宮時,我也持這種樂觀的態度。美國是一個年輕的國家,富有活力,不斷在成長和更新自己。即使是在最困難的時刻,我們也可以展望未來的前景。

我對美國的未來充滿信心,因為我知道美國人民的性格,這是一個激發移民冒著失去所有東西的風險來追求自由夢想的國家,這是公民們在危險時刻表現平靜、在遭受苦難時表現出同情心的國家。我們在身邊可以看到這樣的例子。我和勞拉今晚邀請了一些這樣的人到白宮。

我們可以在托尼-里卡斯尼爾的身上看到美國的性格,這位校長在卡特里娜颶風的廢墟上重建了他的學校。我們可以在胡利奧-梅迪納看到這種性格,這位前犯人領導著一個基於信仰的項目來幫助犯人們重返社會。我們也可以在奧布里-麥克達德參謀軍士身上看到這種性格,他沖入包圍圈,營救出了三名海軍陸戰隊戰友。

我們在加州醫生比爾-克里索夫身上看到了美國的這種性格,他的兒子納塔恩作為一名海軍陸戰隊隊員在伊拉克獻出了自己的生命。當我遇到克里索夫和他的家人時,他告訴我一些令我意想不到的消息:他告訴我,為了記念自己的兒子,他想加入海軍醫療部門。這位好人已60歲,超過規定年齡的上限18年,但他所提出的例外申請獲得了批准,他在過去一年一直在接受戰場救治的訓練。克里索夫中校今晚不能來到這里,因為他即將被部署至伊拉克,他將在那裡幫助救護美軍傷員,維護他為國犧牲的兒子所留下的遺產。

我們在這些公民身上看到我們國家最優良的品質:堅韌和抱有希望、有愛心和堅強。這些品質使我對美國有不可動搖的信心。我們曾面臨危險和考驗,未來還會有更多的危險和考驗。但是藉助於我們人民的勇氣和我們對理想的信心,這個偉大的國家將永遠不會疲倦、不會鬆懈,不會失敗。

作為你們的總統為你們服務是我一生的榮耀,任期內有過好日子和艱難的日子,但我每天都被我們國家的偉大所鼓舞,為我們人民的善良所振奮。我對自己有機會代表我們所熱愛的國家感到幸福,我將永遠對自己是美國公民而感到榮耀,對我來說,這一身份比任何其它身份都有份量。

所以,我親愛的美國同胞,讓我最後一次對你們說:晚安。願上帝保佑白宮和我們的下一位總統。願上帝保佑你和我們這個美好的國家。

樓上的是競選勝利演講,不對啊。
[size]My fellow citizens:
各位同胞:
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.
今天我站在這里,為眼前的重責大任感到謙卑,對各位的信任心懷感激,對先賢的犧牲銘記在心。我要謝謝布希總統為這個國家的服務,也感 謝他在政權轉移期間的寬厚和配合。
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken ring 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.
四十四位美國人發表過總統就職誓言,這些誓詞或是在繁榮富強及和平寧靜之際發表,或是在烏雲密布,時局動盪之時。在艱困的時候,美國 能箕裘相繼,不僅因為居高位者有能力或願景,也因為人民持續對先人的抱負有信心,也忠於創建我國的法統。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
因此,美國才能承繼下來。因此,這一代美國人必須承繼下去。
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.
現在大家都知道我們正置身危機核心,我國正處於對抗深遠暴力和憎恨的戰爭。我們的經濟元氣大傷,是某些人貪婪且不負責任的後果,也是 大眾未能做出艱難的選擇,為國家進入新時代做淮備所致。許多人失去房子,丟了工作,生意垮了。我們的醫療照護太昂貴,學校教育辜負了 許多人。每天都有更多證據顯示,我們利用能源的方式壯大我們的對敵,威脅我們的星球。
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.
這些都是得自資料和統計數據的危機指標。比較無法測量但同樣深沉的,是舉國信心盡失—持續擔心美國將無可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一 定會眼界變低。
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.
今天我要告訴各位,我們面臨的挑戰是真的,挑戰非常嚴重,且不在少數。它們不是可以輕易,或在短時間內解決。但是,美國要了解,這些 挑戰會被解決。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
在這一天,我們聚在一起,因為我們選擇希望而非恐懼,有意義的團結而非紛爭和不合。
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.
在這一天,我們來此宣示,那些無用的抱怨和虛偽的承諾已終結,那些扭曲我們政治已久的相互指控和陳舊教條已終結。
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 enring 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.
我們仍是個年輕的國家,但借用聖經的話,擺脫幼稚事物的時刻到來了,重申我們堅忍精神的時刻到來了,選擇我們更好的歷史,實踐那種代 代傳承的珍貴權利,那種高貴的理念:就是上帝的應許,我們每個人都是平等的,每個人都是自由的,每個人都應該有機會追求全然的幸福。
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.
再次肯定我們國家的偉大,我們了解偉大絕非賜予而來,必須努力達成。我們的旅程從來就不是抄捷徑或很容易就滿足。這條路一直都不是給 不勇敢的人走的,那些偏好逸樂勝過工作,或者只想追求名利就滿足的人。恰恰相反,走這條路的始終是勇於冒險的人,做事的人,成事的人 ,其中有些人很出名,但更常見的是在各自崗位上的男男女女無名英雄,在這條漫長崎區的道路上支撐我們,邁向繁榮與自由。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.
為了我們,他們攜帶很少的家當,遠渡重洋,追尋新生活。
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; enred the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.
為了我們,他們胼手胝足,在西部安頓下來;忍受風吹雨打,篳路藍縷。
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh.
為了我們,他們奮斗不懈,在康科特和蓋茨堡,諾曼地和溪山等地葬身。
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 indivial ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.
前人不斷的奮斗與犧牲,直到雙手皮開肉綻,我們才能享有比較好的生活。他們將美國視為大於所有個人企圖心總和的整體,超越出身、財富 或小圈圈的差異。
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less proctive 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, st ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
這是我們今天繼續前進的旅程。我們仍舊是全球最繁榮強盛的國家。這場危機爆發時,我們的勞工生產力並未減弱。我們的心智一樣創新,我 們的產品和勞務和上周或上個月或去年相比,一樣是必需品。我們的能力並未減損。但是我們墨守成規、維護狹小利益、推遲引人不悅的決定 ,這段時期肯定已經過去。從今天起,我們必須重新出發、再次展開再造美國的工程。
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.
我們無論朝何處望去,都有工作必須完成。經濟情勢需要大膽、迅速的行動,我們將有所行動,不光是創造新工作,更要奠定成長的新基礎。 我們將造橋鋪路,為企業興建電力網格與數位線路,將我們聯系在一起。我們將讓科學回歸合適的用途,運用科技的奇跡來提高醫療品質並降 低費用。我們將利用太陽能、風力和土壤作為汽車的燃料和工廠的能源。我們將讓中小學及大專院校轉型,因應新時代的需要。這些我們可以 作到。我們也將會作到。

5. 奧巴馬的演講稿(中英對照)

My fellow citizens:
我的同胞們:

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.
今天我站在這里,看到眼前面臨的重大任務,深感卑微。我感謝你們對我的信任,也知道先輩們為了這個國家所作的犧牲。我要感謝布希總統為國家做出的貢獻,以及感謝他在兩屆政府過渡期間給與的慷慨協作。

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken ring 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.
迄今為止,已經有44個美國總統宣誓就職。總統的宣誓有時面對的是國家的和平繁榮,但通常面臨的是烏雲密布的緊張形勢。在緊張的形勢中,支持美國前進的不僅僅是領導人的能力和遠見,也在於美國人民對國家先驅者理想的信仰,以及對美國立國文件的忠誠。

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
前輩們如此,我們這一代美國人也要如此。

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 healthcare 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.
現在我們都深知,我們身處危機之中。我們的國家在戰斗,對手是影響深遠的暴力和憎恨;國家的經濟也受到嚴重的削弱,原因雖有一些人的貪婪和不負責任,但更為重要的是我們作為一個整體在一些重大問題上決策失誤,同時也未能做好應對新時代的准備。我們的人民正在失去家園,失去工作,很多企業倒閉。社會的醫療過於昂貴、學校教育讓許多人失望,而且每天都會有新的證據顯示,我們利用能源的方式助長了我們的敵對勢力,同時也威脅著我們的星球。

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.
統計數據的指標傳達著危機的消息。危機難以測量,但更難以測量的是其對美國人國家自信的侵蝕--現在一種認為美國衰落不可避免,我們的下一代必須低調的言論正在吞噬著人們的自信。

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.
今天我要說,我們的確面臨著很多嚴峻的挑戰,而且在短期內不大可能輕易解決。但是我們要相信,我們一定會度過難關。

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
今天,我們在這里齊聚一堂,因為我們戰勝恐懼選擇了希望,摒棄了沖突和矛盾而選擇了團結。

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.
今天,我們宣布要為無謂的摩擦、不實的承諾和指責畫上句號,我們要打破牽制美國政治發展的若干陳舊教條。

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 enring 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.
美國仍是一個年輕的國家,借用《聖經》的話說,放棄幼稚的時代已經到來了。重拾堅韌精神的時代已經到來,我們要為歷史作出更好的選擇,我們要秉承歷史賦予的寶貴權利,秉承那種代代相傳的高貴理念:上帝賦予我們每個人以平等和自由,以及每個人盡全力去追求幸福的機會。

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.
在重申我們國家偉大之處的同時,我們深知偉大從來不是上天賜予的,偉大需要努力贏得。(我們的民族一路走來),這旅途之中從未有過捷徑或者妥協,這旅途也不適合膽怯之人、或者愛安逸勝過愛工作之人、或者單單追求名利之人。這條路是勇於承擔風險者之路,是實幹家、創造者之路。這其中有一些人名留青史,但是更多的人卻在默默無聞地工作著。正是這些人帶領我們走過了漫長崎嶇的旅行,帶領我們走向富強和自由。

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; enred 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.
為了我們,先輩們帶著微薄的細軟,橫渡大洋,尋找新生活;為了我們,先輩們忍辱負重,用血汗澆鑄工廠;為了我們,先輩們在荒蕪的西部大地辛勤耕作,定居他鄉;為了我們,先輩們奔赴(獨立戰爭中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二戰中的)諾曼底、(越戰中的)Khe Sahn,他們征戰、死去。

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 indivial ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.
一次又一次,我們的先輩們戰斗著、犧牲著、操勞著,只為了我們可以生活得更好。在他們看來,美國的強盛與偉大超越了個人雄心,也超越了個人的出身、貧富和派別差異。

This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less proctive 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, st ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
今天我們繼續先輩們的旅途。美國依然是地球上最富裕、最強大的國家。同危機初露端倪之時相比,美國人民的生產力依然旺盛;與上周、上個月或者去年相比,我們的頭腦依然富於創造力,我們的商品和服務依然很有市場,我們的實力不曾削弱。但是,可以肯定的是,輕歌曼舞的時代、保護狹隘利益的時代以及對艱難決定猶豫不決的時代已經過去了。從今天開始,我們必須跌倒後爬起來,拍拍身上的泥土,重新開始工作,重塑美國。

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 healthcare'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.
我目之所及,都有工作有待完成。國家的經濟情況要求我們採取大膽且快速的行動,我們的確是要行動,不僅是要創造就業,更要為(下一輪經濟)增長打下新的基礎。我們將造橋鋪路,為企業鋪設電網和數字線路,將我們聯系在一起。我們將回歸科學,運用科技的奇跡提高醫療質量,降低醫療費用。我們將利用風能、太陽能和土壤驅動車輛,為工廠提供能源。我們將改革中小學以及大專院校,以適應新時代的要求。這一切,我們都能做到,而且我們都將會做到。

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.
現在,有一些人開始質疑我們的野心是不是太大了,他們認為我們的體制承載不了太多的宏偉計劃。他們是健忘了。他們已經忘了這個國家已經取得的成就;他們已經忘了當創造力與共同目標以及必要的勇氣結合起來時,自由的美國人民所能發揮的能量。

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.

6. 奧巴馬就職演講稿 !全文 ,要英文的,

各位同胞:今天我站在這里,為眼前的重責大任感到謙卑,對各位的信任心懷感激,對先賢的犧牲銘記在心。我要謝謝布希總統為這個國家的服務,也感 謝他在政權轉移期間的寬厚和配合。四十四位美國人發表過總統就職誓言,這些誓詞或是在繁榮富強及和平寧靜之際發表,或是在烏雲密布,時局動盪之時。在艱困的時候,美國 能箕裘相繼,不僅因為居高位者有能力或願景,也因為人民持續對先人的抱負有信心,也忠於創建我國的法統。因此,美國才能承繼下來。因此,這一代美國人必須承繼下去。現在大家都知道我們正置身危機核心,我國正處於對抗深遠暴力和憎恨的戰爭。我們的經濟元氣大傷,是某些人貪婪且不負責任的後果,也是 大眾未能做出艱難的選擇,為國家進入新時代做淮備所致。許多人失去房子,丟了工作,生意垮了。我們的醫療照護太昂貴,學校教育辜負了 許多人。每天都有更多證據顯示,我們利用能源的方式壯大我們的對敵,威脅我們的星球。這些都是得自資料和統計數據的危機指標。比較無法測量但同樣深沉的,是舉國信心盡失—持續擔心美國將無可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一 定會眼界變低。今天我要告訴各位,我們面臨的挑戰是真的,挑戰非常嚴重,且不在少數。它們不是可以輕易,或在短時間內解決。但是,美國要了解,這些 挑戰會被解決。在這一天,我們聚在一起,因為我們選擇希望而非恐懼,有意義的團結而非紛爭和不合。在這一天,我們來此宣示,那些無用的抱怨和虛偽的承諾已終結,那些扭曲我們政治已久的相互指控和陳舊教條已終結。 我們仍是個年輕的國家,但借用聖經的話,擺脫幼稚事物的時刻到來了,重申我們堅忍精神的時刻到來了,選擇我們更好的歷史,實踐那種代 代傳承的珍貴權利,那種高貴的理念:就是上帝的應許,我們每個人都是平等的,每個人都是自由的,每個人都應該有機會追求全然的幸福。再次肯定我們國家的偉大,我們了解偉大絕非賜予而來,必須努力達成。我們的旅程從來就不是抄捷徑或很容易就滿足。這條路一直都不是給 不勇敢的人走的,那些偏好逸樂勝過工作,或者只想追求名利就滿足的人。恰恰相反,走這條路的始終是勇於冒險的人,做事的人,成事的人 ,其中有些人很出名,但更常見的是在各自崗位上的男男女女無名英雄,在這條漫長崎區的道路上支撐我們,邁向繁榮與自由。為了我們,他們攜帶很少的家當,遠渡重洋,追尋新生活。為了我們,他們胼手胝足,在西部安頓下來;忍受風吹雨打,篳路藍縷。為了我們,他們奮斗不懈,在康科特和蓋茨堡,諾曼地和溪山等地葬身。前人不斷的奮斗與犧牲,直到雙手皮開肉綻,我們才能享有比較好的生活。他們將美國視為大於所有個人企圖心總和的整體,超越出身、財富 或小圈圈的差異。這是我們今天繼續前進的旅程。我們仍舊是全球最繁榮強盛的國家。這場危機爆發時,我們的勞工生產力並未減弱。我們的心智一樣創新,我 們的產品和勞務和上周或上個月或去年相比,一樣是必需品。我們的能力並未減損。但是我們墨守成規、維護狹小利益、推遲引人不悅的決定 ,這段時期肯定已經過去。從今天起,我們必須重新出發、再次展開再造美國的工程。我們無論朝何處望去,都有工作必須完成。經濟情勢需要大膽、迅速的行動,我們將有所行動,不光是創造新工作,更要奠定成長的新基礎。 我們將造橋鋪路,為企業興建電力網格與數位線路,將我們聯系在一起。我們將讓科學回歸合適的用途,運用科技的奇跡來提高醫療品質並降 低費用。我們將利用太陽能、風力和土壤作為汽車的燃料和工廠的能源。我們將讓中小學及大專院校轉型,因應新時代的需要。這些我們可以 作到。我們也將會作到。 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 ring 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.

7. 奧巴馬就職演講稿.英文和中文都要.

Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we』ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.)
大家好!謝謝你們。謝謝你們。謝謝你們大家。好,大家請就坐。你們今天都好嗎?(掌聲)

(Tim Spicer)好嗎?(掌聲)我現在與


高中的學生們在一起。美國各地從小學預備班到中學12年級的學生正在收聽收看。我很高興大家今天都能參與。我還要感謝
高中出色的組織安排。請為你們自己熱烈鼓掌。(掌聲)
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or
, it』s your first day in a
, so it』s understandable if you』re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good
-- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And
grade you』re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could』ve stayed in bed
longer this morning.
我知道,今天是你們很多人開學的日子。對於進入小學預備班、初中或高中的學生,今天是你們來到新學校的第一天,心裡可能有點緊張,這是可以理解的。我能想像有些畢業班學生現在感覺很不錯——(掌聲)——還有一年就畢業了。不論在哪個年級,你們有些人可能希望暑假更長一點,今天早上還能多睡一小會兒。
I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my
, she didn』t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to
with an American ecation. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the
she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.
我了解這種感覺。我小時候,我們家生活在海外。我在
住了幾年。我媽媽沒有錢送我上其他
上的學校,但她認為必須讓我接受美式教育。因此,她決定從周一到周五自己給我補課。不過她還要上班,所以只能在清晨四點半給我上課。
Now, as you might imagine, I wasn』t too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, I』d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I』d complain, my
would just give me one of those looks and she』d say, 「This is no picnic for me either, buster.」 (Laughter.)
你們可以想見,我不太情願那麼早起床。有很多次,我趴在餐桌上就睡著了。但每當我抱怨的時候,我媽媽都會那樣地看我一眼,然後說:「小子,這對我也並不輕松。」(笑聲)
So I know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I』m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I』m here because I want to talk with you about your ecation and what』s expected of all of you in this
year.
我知道你們有些人還在適應開學後的生活。但我今天來到這里是因為有重要的事情要和你們說。我來這里是要和你們談談你們的教育問題,以及在這個新學年對你們所有人的期望。
Now, I』ve given a lot of speeches about ecation. And I』ve talked about responsibility a lot.
我做過很多次有關教育問題的演講。我多次談到過責任問題。
I』ve talked about teachers』 responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.
我談到過教師激勵學生並督促他們學習的責任。
I』ve talked about your parents』 responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don』t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox.
我談到過家長的責任,要確保你們走正路,完成
,不要整天坐在電視前或玩Xbox游戲。
I』ve talked a lot about your government』s responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren』t working, where students aren』t getting the opportunities that they deserve.
我多次談到過政府的責任,要制定高標准,支持教師和校長的工作,徹底改善不能為學生提供應有機會的、教育質量差的學校。
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you
to your parents and grandparents and other alts and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That』s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your ecation.
然而,即使我們擁有最敬業的教師,最盡力的家長和全世界最好的學校——如果你們大家不履行你們的責任,不到校上課,不專心聽講,不聽家長、祖父祖母和其他大人的話,不付出取得成功所必須的勤奮努力,那麼這一切都毫無用處,都無關緊要。這就是我今天講話的重點:你們每個人對自己的教育應盡的責任。
I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you』re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to
what that is. That』s the opportunity an ecation can provide.
我首先要講講你們對自己應盡的責任。你們每個人都有自己的長處。你們每個人都能做出自己的貢獻。你們對自己應盡的責任是發現自己的能力所在。而教育能夠提供這樣的機會。
Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paper that』s assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an
-- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or
-- but you might not know it until you do your project for your
class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a
or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.
你或許能成為一名出色的作家——甚至可能寫書或在報紙上發表文章——但你可能要在完成那篇英文課的作文後才會發現自己的才華。你或許能成為一名創新者或
——甚至可能設計出新一代iPhone或研製出新型葯物或疫苗——但你可能要在完成
的實驗後才會發現自己的才華。你或許能成為一名市長或
或最高法院的
——但你可能要在參加學生會的工作或辯論隊後才會發現自己的才華。
And
you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you』ll need an ecation to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an
, a lawyer or a member of our military? You』re going to need a good ecation for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You』ve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.
不論你的生活志向是什麼,我敢肯定你必須上學讀書才能實現它。你想當醫生、教師或警官嗎?你想當護士、
、律師或軍人嗎?你必須接受良好的教育,才能從事上述任何一種職業。你不能指望輟學後能碰上個好工作。你必須接受培訓,為之努力,為之學習。
And this isn』t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your ecation will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you』re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
這並非只對你個人的人生和未來意義重大。可以毫不誇大地說,教育給你帶來的益處將決定這個國家的未來。美國的未來取決於你們。你們今日在校學習的知識將決定我們作為一個國家是否能夠迎接我們未來所面臨的最嚴峻挑戰。
You』ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in
and math to cure diseases like
and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You』ll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You』ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and
our economy.
你們將需要利用你們通過
和數學課程所學到的知識和解決問題的能力來治癒

及其他疾病,開發新的
和保護我們的環境。你們將需要利用你們在

課堂上所獲得的知識和獨立思考能力來抗擊貧困和解決
問題,打擊犯罪和消除歧視,使我們的國家更公平、更自由。你們將需要利用你們在所有課堂上培養的創造力和智慧來創辦新公司,增加就業機會,振興我們的經濟。
We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don』t do that -- if you quit on school -- you』re not just quitting on yourself, you』re quitting on your country.
我們需要你們每個人發揮你們的聰明才智和技能,以便幫助老一輩人解決我們面臨的最棘手問題。如果你們不這樣做,如果你們輟學,你們不僅僅是
,也是拋棄自己的國家。
Now, I know it』s not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives
that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.
我自然知道要做到學業優秀並非總是易事。我知道你們許多人在生活中面臨挑戰,難以集中精力從事學業。
I get it. I know what it』s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn』t always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn』t fit in.
我明白這一點。 我有親身感受。兩歲時,我父親離家而去,我是由一位單親母親撫養成人的,母親不得不工作,並時常為支付生活費用而苦苦掙扎,但有時仍無法為我們提供其他孩子享有的東西。有時,我
中能有一位父親。有時我感到孤獨,感到自己不適應社會。
So I wasn』t always as focused as I should have been on school, and I did some things I』m not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.
我並非總是像我應該做到的那樣專心學習,我也曾做過我如今不能引以為豪的一些事情,我曾惹過不應該惹的麻煩。我的人生原本會輕易陷入更糟糕的境地。
But I was -- I was
. I got a lot of
s, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our
Michelle Obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn』t have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.
但是,我當年
不錯。我有過許多第二次機會,我有幸能上大學,上法學院,追求自己的理想。我的妻子,我們的


,也有著類似的經歷。她的父母都未曾上過大學,家裡很窮。但他們非常勤奮 ,她也是如此,因此她得以進入一些美國最好的學校。
Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don』t have alts in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there』s
money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don』t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren』t right.
你們中有一些人可能沒有那些有利條件。或許你們生活中沒有成年人為你們提供你們所需要的支持。或許你們家中有人失業,經濟非常拮據。或許你們生活在使你們感覺不安全的社區,或有朋友逼迫你們去做你們知道不對的事情。

8. 奧巴馬就職演講稿

樓上的是競選勝利演講,不對啊。
[size]My fellow citizens:
各位同胞:
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.
今天我站在這里,為眼前的重責大任感到謙卑,對各位的信任心懷感激,對先賢的犧牲銘記在心。我要謝謝布希總統為這個國家的服務,也感 謝他在政權轉移期間的寬厚和配合。
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken ring 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.
四十四位美國人發表過總統就職誓言,這些誓詞或是在繁榮富強及和平寧靜之際發表,或是在烏雲密布,時局動盪之時。在艱困的時候,美國 能箕裘相繼,不僅因為居高位者有能力或願景,也因為人民持續對先人的抱負有信心,也忠於創建我國的法統。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
因此,美國才能承繼下來。因此,這一代美國人必須承繼下去。
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.
現在大家都知道我們正置身危機核心,我國正處於對抗深遠暴力和憎恨的戰爭。我們的經濟元氣大傷,是某些人貪婪且不負責任的後果,也是 大眾未能做出艱難的選擇,為國家進入新時代做淮備所致。許多人失去房子,丟了工作,生意垮了。我們的醫療照護太昂貴,學校教育辜負了 許多人。每天都有更多證據顯示,我們利用能源的方式壯大我們的對敵,威脅我們的星球。
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.
這些都是得自資料和統計數據的危機指標。比較無法測量但同樣深沉的,是舉國信心盡失—持續擔心美國將無可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一 定會眼界變低。
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.
今天我要告訴各位,我們面臨的挑戰是真的,挑戰非常嚴重,且不在少數。它們不是可以輕易,或在短時間內解決。但是,美國要了解,這些 挑戰會被解決。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
在這一天,我們聚在一起,因為我們選擇希望而非恐懼,有意義的團結而非紛爭和不合。
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.
在這一天,我們來此宣示,那些無用的抱怨和虛偽的承諾已終結,那些扭曲我們政治已久的相互指控和陳舊教條已終結。
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 enring 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.
我們仍是個年輕的國家,但借用聖經的話,擺脫幼稚事物的時刻到來了,重申我們堅忍精神的時刻到來了,選擇我們更好的歷史,實踐那種代 代傳承的珍貴權利,那種高貴的理念:就是上帝的應許,我們每個人都是平等的,每個人都是自由的,每個人都應該有機會追求全然的幸福。
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.
再次肯定我們國家的偉大,我們了解偉大絕非賜予而來,必須努力達成。我們的旅程從來就不是抄捷徑或很容易就滿足。這條路一直都不是給 不勇敢的人走的,那些偏好逸樂勝過工作,或者只想追求名利就滿足的人。恰恰相反,走這條路的始終是勇於冒險的人,做事的人,成事的人 ,其中有些人很出名,但更常見的是在各自崗位上的男男女女無名英雄,在這條漫長崎區的道路上支撐我們,邁向繁榮與自由。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.
為了我們,他們攜帶很少的家當,遠渡重洋,追尋新生活。
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; enred the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.
為了我們,他們胼手胝足,在西部安頓下來;忍受風吹雨打,篳路藍縷。
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh.
為了我們,他們奮斗不懈,在康科特和蓋茨堡,諾曼地和溪山等地葬身。
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 indivial ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.
前人不斷的奮斗與犧牲,直到雙手皮開肉綻,我們才能享有比較好的生活。他們將美國視為大於所有個人企圖心總和的整體,超越出身、財富 或小圈圈的差異。
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less proctive 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, st ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.
這是我們今天繼續前進的旅程。我們仍舊是全球最繁榮強盛的國家。這場危機爆發時,我們的勞工生產力並未減弱。我們的心智一樣創新,我 們的產品和勞務和上周或上個月或去年相比,一樣是必需品。我們的能力並未減損。但是我們墨守成規、維護狹小利益、推遲引人不悅的決定 ,這段時期肯定已經過去。從今天起,我們必須重新出發、再次展開再造美國的工程。
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.
我們無論朝何處望去,都有工作必須完成。經濟情勢需要大膽、迅速的行動,我們將有所行動,不光是創造新工作,更要奠定成長的新基礎。 我們將造橋鋪路,為企業興建電力網格與數位線路,將我們聯系在一起。我們將讓科學回歸合適的用途,運用科技的奇跡來提高醫療品質並降 低費用。我們將利用太陽能、風力和土壤作為汽車的燃料和工廠的能源。我們將讓中小學及大專院校轉型,因應新時代的需要。這些我們可以 作到。我們也將會作到。[/

9. 奧巴馬就職演講稿賞識

「美國是一個任何事情都有可能發生的國家,對於這一點如果還有任何人心存懷疑的話,今晚就是對這一問題的最好回答」美國已經做出了回答。現在,就在芝加哥格蘭特廣場上聚集的125,000名支持者面前,我們的新總統誕生了。下面就是巴拉克-奧巴馬所做的2008年總統候選人就職演講全文:美國是一個任何事情都有可能發生的國家,對於這一點如果還有任何人心存懷疑,對民主的力量還表示疑慮的話,今晚就是對這一問題的最好回答。這個答案早已經印在了到處懸掛在學校和教堂的競選條幅上,人們隨處可見;這些人們已經等待了三四個小時,對於他們當中的大多數,這是有生以來第一次經歷這樣的過程,因為他們堅信這一時刻註定與眾不同,而這種不同便有可能源自他們所發出的聲音。這個答案出自這些人之口,無論是青年還是老年,窮人還是富人,民主黨還是共和黨,黑人還是白人,拉丁裔、亞裔還是美國本土人,同性戀者還是異性戀者,殘疾人還是非殘疾人——他們向世界發出了這樣的信息——我們從來不分紅色之州和藍色之州,我們永遠都是美利堅合眾國。這個答案告訴了那些一直以來充滿焦慮、恐懼和懷疑的人們,我們可以將雙手放在歷史的轉折點上,將它再次帶向充滿希望的美好明天。這一刻我們已經等待了太久,但是今晚,由於我們在這一決定性的時刻所作出的選擇,美國便迎來了它嶄新的一刻。
