㈠ 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. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our 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. In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life. For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; 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 Sanh. Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our indivial ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less 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.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.

㈡ 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。

㈢ 求奧巴馬就職演講的中英文演講稿

奧巴馬就職演說全文
以下是奧巴馬總統就職演說的中英文對照全文,中文由美國國務院國際信息局(IIP)根據演說記錄稿翻譯。
(巴拉克•奧巴馬(Barack Obama)於2009年1月20日宣誓就職美國第44任總統)
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.
同胞們:
我今天站在這里,深感面前使命的重大,深謝你們賦予的信任,並銘記我們前輩所付的代價。我感謝布希總統對國家的貢獻以及他在整個過渡階段給予的大度合作。
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 forebears, and true to our founding documents.
至此,有四十四個美國人發出總統誓言。這些字詞曾在蒸蒸日上的繁榮時期和寧靜安詳的和平年代誦讀。但是間或,它們也響徹在陰雲密布、風暴降臨的時刻。美國能夠歷經這些時刻而勇往直前,不僅因為當政者具有才幹或遠見,而且也因為「我們人民」始終堅信我們先輩的理想,對我們的建國理念忠貞不渝。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
這是過來之路。這是這一代美國的必由之路。
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.
我們處於危機之中,這一點已得到充分認識。我國在進行戰爭,打擊分布廣泛的暴力和仇恨勢力。我們的經濟嚴重衰弱,部分歸咎於一些人的貪婪不軌,同時也因為我們作為一個整體,未能痛下決心,讓國家作好面對新時代的准備。如今,住房不再,就業減少,商業破產。醫療保健費用過度昂貴;學校質量沒有保障;而每一天都在不斷顯示,我們使用能源的方式在助長敵人的威風,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.
這些是危機的跡象,數據統計將予以證明。不易於衡量然而同樣嚴重的是全國各地受動搖的信心——一種揮之不去的恐懼感,認為美國將不可避免地走下坡路,下一代人不得不放低眼光。
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,我告訴大家,我們面臨的挑戰真實存在,並且嚴重而多重。它們不可能在一個短時間內被輕易征服。但是,美國,請記住這句話——它們將被征服。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
我們今天聚集在這里是因為我們選擇希望而不是恐懼,選擇齊心協力而不是沖突對立。
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.
我們今天在這里宣告,讓斤斤計較與虛假承諾就此結束,讓窒息我國政治為時太久的相互指責和陳詞濫調就此完結。
(親愛的黑人兄弟在看就職典禮)
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.
我們仍是一個年輕的國家,但用聖經的話說,現在是拋棄幼稚的時侯了。現在應是我們讓永恆的精神發揚光大的時侯,應是選擇創造更佳歷史業績的時侯,應是將代代相傳的寶貴財富、崇高理想向前發展的時侯:上帝賦予所有人平等、所有人自由和所有人充分追求幸福的機會。
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 shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.
在重申我們國家偉大精神的同時,我們懂得,偉大從非天生,而是必須贏得。我們的歷程從來不是走捷徑或退而求其次的歷程。它不是弱者的道路——它不屬於好逸惡勞或只圖名利享受的人;這條路屬於冒險者,實幹家,創造者——有些人享有盛名,但大多數是默默無聞耕耘勞作的男女志士,是他們帶我們走向通往繁榮和自由的漫長崎嶇之路。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.
為了我們,他們打點起貧寒的行裝上路,遠涉重洋,追求新生活。
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,他們在血汗工廠勞作,在西部原野拓荒,忍著鞭笞之痛在堅硬的土地上耕耘。
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh.
為了我們,他們奔赴疆場,英勇捐軀,長眠於康科德、葛底斯堡、諾曼底和溪山。
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.
為了我們能夠過上更好的生活,他們前赴後繼,歷盡艱辛,全力奉獻,不辭勞苦,直至雙手結起層層老繭。他們看到的美國超越了我們每一個人的雄心壯志,也超越了所有種族、財富或派系的差異。
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.
今天,作為後來者,我們踏上了這一未竟的旅程。我們依然是地球上最繁榮、最強大的國家。我們的勞動者的創造力並沒有因為眼前的這場危機而減弱。我們的頭腦依然像以往那樣善於發明創新。我們的產品與服務仍舊像上星期、上個月或去年一樣受人歡迎。我們的能力絲毫無損。但是,維持現狀、保護狹隘的利益集團、推遲困難的抉擇的時代無疑已成為過去。從今天起,我們必須振作起來,掃除我們身上的塵土,重新開啟再造美國的事業。
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. All this we will do.
無論我們把目光投向何處,都有工作在等待著我們。經濟形勢要求我們果敢而迅速地行動,我們將不辱使命——不僅要創造新的就業機會,而且要打下新的增長基礎。我們將建造道路和橋梁,架設電網,鋪設承載我們的商務和把我們緊密相連的電子通訊網路。我們將恢復尊重科學的傳統,利用高新技術的超常潛力提高醫療保健質量並降低成本。我們將利用太陽能、風力和地熱為車輛和工廠提供能源。我們將改造我們的中小學和高等院校,以應對新時代的挑戰。這一切我們都能做到。這一切我們必將做到。
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,有人懷疑我們的雄心壯志——他們說我們的體制不能承受太多的宏偉規劃。他們的記憶是短暫的,因為他們忘記了這個國家已經取得的成就,忘記了一旦共同的目標插上理想的翅膀、現實的要求鼓起勇氣的風帆,自由的人民就會爆發出無窮的創造力。
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. 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.
那些冷眼旁觀的人沒有認識到他們腳下的大地已經移動——那些長期以來空耗我們的精力的陳腐政治觀點已經過時。我們今天提出的問題不是我們的政府太大還是太小,而是它是否行之有效——它是否能夠幫助人們找到報酬合理的就業機會,是否能夠為他們提供費用適度的醫療保健服務,是否能夠確保他們在退休後不失尊嚴。如果回答是肯定的,我們就要向前推進。如果回答是否定的,計劃和項目必須終止。作為公共資金的管理者,我們必須承擔責任——明智地使用資金,拋棄壞習慣,在陽光下履行職責——因為只有這樣我們才能恢復人民對政府的至關重要的信任。
Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control — and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic proct, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
我們提出的問題也不在於市場力量是替天行道還是為虎作倀。市場在生成財富和傳播自由方面具有無與倫比的力量,但這場危機提醒我們:沒有嚴格的監督,市場就會失控——如果一個國家僅僅施惠於富裕者,其富裕便不能持久。我們的經濟成功從來不是僅僅依賴國內總產值的規模,而是還依賴繁榮的普及,即為每一位願意致富的人提供機會的能力——不是通過施捨——因為這才是最可靠的共同富裕之路。
(就職典禮)
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers ... our found fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all the other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.
至於我們的共同防禦,我們決不接受安全與理念不可兩全的荒謬論點。建國先賢面對我們難以想見的險惡局面,起草了一部保障法治和人權的憲章,一部子孫後代以自己的鮮血使之更加完美的憲章。今天,這些理念仍然照耀著世界,我們不會為一時之利而棄之。因此,對於今天正在觀看此情此景的其他各國人民和政府——從最繁華的首都到我父親出生的小村莊——我們希望他們了解:凡追求和平與尊嚴的國家以及每一位男人、婦女和兒童,美國是你們的朋友。我們已經做好准備,再一次走在前面。

㈣ 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。

㈤ 奧巴馬就職典禮演講稿

奧巴馬總統就職演說
Jan 20, 2009

我的同胞們:

我今天站在這里,以謙卑的心情面對著在我面前的使命,對於你們賦予我的信任心存感激,也不敢遺忘開國先賢們所作的犧牲。我感謝布希總統為我們國家所作的服務、以及在政權交接過程中他所展示的大度及合作。

到現在已經有44位美國人進行了總統就職宣誓。這些言辭在繁榮興旺時以及和平時期作出。但是,也有一些時期,這些誓言是在陰雲密布和暴風雨來襲時作出。在這些時期里,美國繼續向前行,不單單是身為總統者的睿智和遠見,也是因為我們身為人民者仍然忠於開國先賢們的理想、以及忠實執行開國時的文件宣言。

所以,世代一直是如此的。所以我們這一代的美國人也必須如此。

我們現在非常了解我們正處於危機之中。我們的國家正在作戰狀態,對抗一個暴力和仇恨的廣大網路。我們的經濟大大受到削弱,這不僅是一些人貪婪和不負責任的後果,也是我們在做出艱難抉擇,為國家進入新時代進行准備方面的共同失誤所使然。房屋失去了;工作機會流失了;商業陷入凋敝的困境。我們的醫療費用過於昂貴;我們有太多的學校令人失望;每天都有更多的證據顯示,我們使用能源的方式只能令我們的對手變強,同時威脅到我們的星球。

這些就是危機的信號,數據和統計結果都顯示出來。數字不容易顯示出來的、但是卻不容忽視的是,我們全國各地有些信心正在消蝕,擔心的是美國的衰落不可避免,擔心我們的下一代不得不降低對未來的期許。

今天我要對你們說的是,我們面臨的挑戰是真實的。這些挑戰不僅嚴峻,而且復雜。應對這些挑戰絕非易事,更非一朝一夕之功。但是,美國,請明白這一點:這些挑戰將會面對。

我們今天聚集在一起,因為我們選擇了希望而不是恐懼,選擇了眾志成城而不是紛爭不和。

我們今天共同來宣布,讓心胸狹窄的怨言和虛妄的諾言成為過去,結束相互指責和攻擊以及令人厭倦的教條,這些已經窒息壓制我們的政治太過長久。

我們仍然還是一個年青的國家,不過用聖經的話來說,拋棄幼稚東西的時間已經到了。現在,我們要彰顯美國的持久精神,創造新的歷史,繼承和發揚代代傳承的珍貴才智和崇高的理想:那就是上帝賦予我們的,人人平等,人人自由,人人都有機會尋求最大幸福。

重申我們國家偉大的同時,我們深深懂得,偉大從來不是與生具來的。它必須努力贏得;我們的道路從來沒有捷徑,也沒有妥協。我們的道路從來不是懦夫們所走的,也不是給那些喜歡輕松,或者喜歡追逐財富和名譽的人走的。而是給那些不畏風險的人、腳踏實地的實踐者、那些發明創造者。帶領我們走向繁榮和自由的漫長崎嶇之路的前進者之中,有些有名聲的人,但是更多的是工作中默默無聞的男女大眾。

為了我們,他們背起簡單的行囊,飄洋過海,尋求新的生活。

為了我們,他們在血汗車間和作坊中辛勤勞作,並且在美國的西部紮下根,他們忍受皮鞭的抽打,在堅硬的土地上辛勤耕作。

為了我們, 他們在康科德和蓋底斯堡,在諾曼底和溪山出生入死地戰斗。

為了我們能夠過上好日子,我們的這些男女大眾,前仆後繼,英勇奮斗,不懈犧牲,直到他們的雙手粗糙地磨出老繭;他們看到的美國是一個理想高於個人雄心壯志的國家,他們把美國的理想看得高於個人的生死,高於財富和派別。

這就是我們今天要繼續進行的旅程。我們依然是世界上最繁榮、最強大的國家;我們勞工的創造力並沒有比這場危機開始的時候低;我們的思想也沒有缺乏創造性;對我們產品和服務的需求,也沒有比上個星期或者上個月或者上一年減少;我們的能力依然沒有減弱;但是,我們那種一成不變,保護狹隘利益,推出不受歡迎決策的時代註定已經成為過去。從今天開始, 我們將重新鼓舞,揩乾凈身上的灰塵,重新開始重新創造美國的任務。

放眼四周,到處是需要從事的工作,目前的經濟狀況需要我們迅速採取果敢的行動,我們將行動起來,不僅要創造就業機會,而且還要為今後的發展奠定基礎。我們將修路架橋,架設電力網線,修建通往商務和連接民眾的數據通道。我們將恢復科學應有的正確位置。利用科技奇跡提高醫療保健的質量,同時降低成本。為了能為我們的車輛和工廠提供能源,我們要進一步利用陽光,風力和土壤。我們要改造學校和大學,滿足新時代的要求;我們有能力完成上述任務,我們一定能夠完成上述任務。

現在,有些人對我們的雄心壯志表示懷疑,他們說,我們的體制不可能讓我們實現這么多的宏偉計劃。這些人的記憶實在太糟了。

因為他們忘記了這個國家過去已經取得的成就,忘記了當自由的男男女女的想像力為了共同目標而激勵、而聚集在一起的時候,能夠達成些什麼。

這些冷嘲熱諷的人不可能理解的是,他們腳下的這片土地已經發生了變化,長期以來耗盡我們精力的無聊的政治辯論已經不復存在。我們今天要問的,不是我們的政府是否太大或者太小,而是我們的政府是否起到作用,是否幫助美國家庭找到一份像樣收入的工作,能夠支付起醫療保險,一個有尊嚴的退休生活。如果回答是肯定的,我們就應該繼續執行。如果回答是否定的,那麼計劃將會停止,那些負責管理公共資金的人應該負起責任。我們的支出必須睿智,必須改變壞習氣,運作必須光明正大。只有這樣,才能恢復美國人民和政府之間至關重要的信任。

市場到底是好的還是壞的力量,這也不是我們面臨的問題。市場給人們帶來的財富和擴大自由的力量是無可比擬的。但是目前的金融危機提醒我們,如果缺乏監督,市場可能會失去控制。如果一個國家只追求繁榮,繁榮是不可能長久的。美國經濟之所以成功並不總是因為我們國內生產總值的規模,而是因為經濟繁榮已經滲透到各個領域和層次,是因為我們有能力向一切願意接受幫助的人提供機會。我們幫助其他國家不是出於慈善,而是因為這是達到我們共同利益最可靠的途徑。

至於我們的共同防禦,我們認為在我們的安全和理想之間做出選擇是錯誤的。我們的建國先賢們在面對難以想像的危險的時候,他們起草了一份確保法制和人權的憲章,一份後來用幾代人的鮮血發展的憲章。他們的理念如今依然照亮著全世界,我們不應該為了權宜之計而放棄。今天,觀看這場就職典禮的世界各地的所有人民和政府,無論是在大都市,還是我父親出生的小村莊,都知道,美國是所有追求和平與尊嚴的國家和人民的朋友,美國已做好准備,將再次成為世界領導人。

回想前輩們通過牢固的盟友和堅定的信念,而不是導彈和坦克,來面對法西斯主義和共產主義。他們明白,僅靠我們單獨的力量是不能保衛我們自己的,而且我們也無權隨心所欲要做我們想做的事情。他們知道只有通過明智的使用力量,力量才會增強,只有通過我們正義的信念、自身的榜樣,以及具有人道主義和自我剋制的溫和素質,才會有國家的安全。

我們是這些美國傳統的保持人,在這些原則再一次的指引下,通過各國之間更好的合作、理解和更多的努力,我們能夠面對那些新的威脅。我們將開始負責任地撤離伊拉克,把伊拉克交給她的人民,並且鞏固得來不易的阿富汗和平。我們將跟老朋友和從前的對手在一起,不辭辛勞地來減少核威脅,減少全球溫室效應。我們不會為我們的生活方式而道歉,也不會放棄保衛這種生活方式。那些通過恐怖主義和屠殺無辜的方式來達到目的的人,我們現在要對你們說,我們的信念比以前更加強壯,是堅不可摧的,你們不會比我們更長久,我們一定會打敗你們。

因為我們知道,多元化的傳統是我們強點,而不是弱點。我們是一個由基督教和穆斯林、猶太教和印度教以及無信仰者組成的國家,我們是由來自地球每個角落的各種語言和文化組成的;因為我們承受過內戰和種族隔離的痛苦洗禮,走出黑暗的歷程,我們更加堅強,更加團結。我們不得不相信,以前的仇恨總有一天會過去,派別分歧遲早會消失。隨著世界在變小,我們共有的人道主義精神一定會展示出來,美國一定要率先走進新的和平紀元。

針對穆斯林世界,我們要在相互有利和相互尊重的基礎上,尋找新的推動方式;針對那些企圖製造沖突,或者把自己的社會問題推卸給西方的各國領導人,要知道,你們的人民會用你的建設成就,而不是摧毀能力來評判你;針對那些通過腐敗、欺騙和鎮壓異議人士來維持權力的人,要知道你們是在錯誤的歷史一邊;不過只要你們願意放開拳頭,我們願意向你們伸出手。

針對那些貧窮國家,我們保證和你們一起工作,讓你們的土地肥沃,讓清水長流;我們會滋養飢餓的身軀,灌輸飢渴的頭腦。針對那些和我們一樣相對富足的國家,我們要說,對我們境外的痛苦,我們再不能無動於衷了,在消耗世界資源的同時,我們不能不考慮後果。因為世界已經改變了,我們也一定要隨之改變。

當我們思考未來的道路,我們要帶著謙卑的感恩之心,牢牢記住那些勇敢的美國人,他們現在正在遙遠的沙漠和山脈執行巡邏任務。他們今天有話要告訴我們,就像安葬在阿靈頓那些逝去的英雄一直對我們低語一樣。我們向他們致敬,不只是因為他們捍衛我們的自由,他們更落實了服務的精神,他們願意尋找比自己意義更重大的事情。在這個時刻,這個將定義整個時代的時刻,正是這樣的精神,必須長存在我們心中。

不論政府能夠或者需要做什麼,這個國家最終仰賴的還是美國人民的信仰和決心。在堤壩決堤的時候,接納一個陌生人所展現的仁慈;因為不願意看到朋友失業,而寧願減少自己的工時所展現的無私,這些美德幫助我們度過最黑暗的時間。消防隊員沖進滿是濃煙的樓梯間所展現的勇氣;父母教養孩子展現的自發性,這些最終決定了我們的命運。

我們的挑戰或許是全新的。我們解決的方式也可能是全新的。但是我們的成功所仰賴的價值觀卻是恆古不變的,這些價值觀是辛勤工作、誠實、勇氣、公平、寬容和好奇。這些是真實的。在歷史上,這些是推動我們前進的寧靜力量。現在需要的是回歸這些真理。我們現在需要的一個新的責任世紀。每一個美國人都要認清,我們對我們自己、我們的國家、世界都有義務。我們不是勉強的接受這些義務,而是歡欣的接納。我們堅定的知道,沒有什麼比為艱難的任務全力付出更能滿足我們的精神,更能定義我們的特質。

這是公民權的代價和承諾。

這是我們自信的泉源。我們知道神召喚我們為了要塑造這個充滿變動的未來。

這是我們的自由和信仰的意義,這說明了為什麼不同種族和信仰的男女和幼童相聚在這個宏偉的廣場上;這說明了為什麼一個當他的父親在不到60年前或許還不能在餐廳里接受服務的人,今天能夠在你們面前,許下這個最神聖的誓言。

讓我們以這樣的態度紀念這一天:我們記得自己是誰,我們前進了多遠。在美國誕生的年代,在最寒冷的月份,一小群愛國者在冰凍的河岸上,蜷縮在將熄的營火旁。那時,首都被遺棄了。敵人正在向前推進。白雪上沾染了鮮血。當時,我們革命的結果遭受最大的懷疑,但我們的建國之父命令要對人民宣讀這些文字:

"讓未來的世界知道,在寒冷的冬天,這個只有希望和美德能夠生存的時候,受到一個共同危機挑戰的城市和國家,曾經勇敢的面對他。"

美國。面對我們共同的危機,在這個艱苦的嚴冬,讓我們記得這些永恆的字句。帶著希望和美德,我們再次勇敢的面對冰冷的激流,承受未來可能降臨的風暴。讓我們的下一代傳頌,當我們受到考驗的時候,我們拒絕結束這場旅程。我們沒有回頭,也沒有步履蹣跚。我們的眼光定在地平線上,神的恩典顧及我們,我們帶著一份偉大的禮物,也就是自由,向前進,然後將這份禮物安全的交給未來的世世代代。

謝謝大家!
上帝保佑你們!
上帝保佑美國! ----------這是未刪節版本

為什麽一個人的父親在不到六十年前也許還不能進當地的餐廳用餐,現在他的兒子卻能站在你們面前做最神聖的宣誓。

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。[/

奧巴馬競選演講稿

芝加哥的市民們,你們好!

如果還有人對在美國是否凡事皆有可能這一點存疑,還有人懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們所處的時代是否依然鮮活,還有人質疑我們的民主制度的力量,那麼今晚,這些問題都有了答案。這是設在學校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未見的長隊給出的答案;是等了三四個小時的選民所給出的答案,其中許多人都是有生以來第一次投票,因為他們認定這一次肯定會不一樣,認為自己的聲音會是這次大選有別於以往之所在。

這是所有美國人民共同給出的答案--無論老少貧富,無論是民主黨還是共和黨,無論是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亞裔、原住民,是同性戀者還是異性戀者、殘疾人還是健全人--我們從來不是「紅州」和「藍州」的對立陣營,我們是美利堅合眾國這個整體,永遠都是。

長久以來,很多人一再受到告誡,要對我們所能取得的成績極盡諷刺、擔憂和懷疑之能事,但這個答案讓這些人伸出手來把握歷史,再次讓它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

已經過去了這么長時間,但今晚,由於我們在今天、在這場大選中、在這個具有決定性的時刻所做的,美國已經迎來了變革。

我剛剛接到了麥凱恩參議員極具風度的致電。他在這場大選中經過了長時間的努力奮斗,而他為自己所深愛的這個國家奮斗的時間更長、過程更艱辛。他為美國做出了我們大多數人難以想像的犧牲,我們的生活也因這位勇敢無私的領袖所做出的貢獻而變得更美好。我向他和佩林州長所取得的成績表示祝賀,我也期待著與他們一起在未來的歲月中為復興這個國家的希望而共同努力。

我要感謝我在這次旅程中的夥伴--已當選美國副總統的拜登。他全心參與競選活動,為普通民眾代言,他們是他在斯克蘭頓從小到大的夥伴,也是在他回特拉華的火車上遇到的男男女女。

如果沒有一個人的堅決支持,我今晚就不會站在這里,她是我過去16年來最好的朋友、是我們一家人的中堅和我一生的摯愛,更是我們國家的下一位第一夫人:米歇爾•奧巴馬(Michelle Obama)。薩莎(Sasha)和瑪麗亞(Malia),我太愛你們兩個了,你們已經得到了一條新的小狗,它將與我們一起入駐白宮。雖然我的外祖母已經不在了,但我知道她與我的親人肯定都在看著我,因為他們,我才能擁有今天的成就。今晚,我想念他們,我知道自己欠他們的無可計量。

我的競選經理大衛•普勞夫(David Plouffe)、首席策略師大衛•艾克斯羅德(David Axelrod)以及政治史上最好的競選團隊--是你們成就了今天,我永遠感激你們為實現今天的成就所做出的犧牲。

但最重要的是,我永遠不會忘記這場勝利真正的歸屬--它屬於你們。

我從來不是最有希望的候選人。一開始,我們沒有太多資金,也沒有得到太多人的支持。我們的競選活動並非誕生於華盛頓的高門華第之內,而是始於得梅因、康科德、查爾斯頓這些地方的普通民眾家中。

我們的競選活動能有今天的規模,是因為辛勤工作的人們從自己的微薄積蓄中拿出錢來,捐出一筆又一筆5美元、10美元、20美元。而競選活動的聲勢越來越大則是源自那些年輕人,他們拒絕接受認為他們這代人冷漠的荒誕說法;他們離開家、離開親人,從事報酬微薄、極其辛苦的工作;同時也源自那些已經不算年輕的人們,他們冒著嚴寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門進行競選宣傳;更源自數百萬的美國民眾,他們自動自發地組織起來,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。

我知道你們的所做所為並不只是為了贏得大選,我也知道你們做這一切並不是為了我。你們這樣做是因為你們明白擺在面前的任務有多艱巨。因為即便我們今晚歡呼慶祝,我們也知道明天將面臨我們一生之中最為艱巨的挑戰---兩場戰爭、一個面臨危險的星球,還有百年來最嚴重的金融危機。今晚站在此地,我們知道伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中還有勇敢的美國士兵醒來,甘冒生命危險保護著我們。會有在孩子熟睡後仍難以入眠的父母,擔心如何償還按揭月供、付醫葯費或是存夠錢送孩子上大學。我們亟待開發新能源、創造新的工作機會;我們需要修建新學校,還要應對眾多威脅、修復與許多盟國的關系。

前方的道路會十分漫長艱辛。我們可能無法在一年甚至一屆任期之內實現上述目標,但我從未像今晚這樣滿懷希望,相信我們會實現。我向你們承諾---我們作為一個整體將會達成目標。

我們會遭遇挫折和不成功的開端。對於我作為總統所做的每項決定和政策,會有許多人持有異議,我們也知道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,我會請求你們參與重建這個國家,以美國221年來從未改變的唯一方式---一磚一瓦而成、胼手胝足相續。

21個月前那個寒冬所開始的一切不應該在今天這個秋夜結束。今天的選舉勝利並不是我們所尋求的改變---這只是我們進行改變的機會。而且如果我們仍然按照舊有方式行事,我們所尋求的改變不可能出現。沒有你們,也不可能有這種改變。

因此,讓我們發揚新的愛國精神,樹立新的服務意識和責任感,讓我們每個人下定決心全情投入、更加努力地工作,並彼此關愛。讓我們銘記這場金融危機帶來的教訓:我們不可能在金融以外的領域備受煎熬的同時擁有繁榮興旺的華爾街---在這個國家,我們患難與共。

讓我們抵制重走老路的誘惑,避免重新回到令美國政治長期深受毒害的黨派紛爭和由此引發的遺憾和不成熟表現。讓我們牢記,正是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的大旗扛到了白宮。共和黨是建立在自強自立、個人自由以及全民團結的價值觀上,這也是我們所有人都珍視的價值。雖然民主黨今天晚上贏得了巨大的勝利,但我們是以謙卑的態度和彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧的決心贏得這場勝利的。林肯在向遠比我們眼下分歧更大的國家發表講話時說,我們不是敵人,而是朋友……雖然激情可能褪去,但是這不會割斷我們感情上的聯系。對於那些現在並不支持我的美國人,我想說,或許我沒有贏得你們的選票,但是我聽到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,而且我也將是你們的總統。

那些徹夜關注美國大選的海外人士,從國會到皇宮,以及在這個世界被遺忘的角落裡擠在收音機旁的人們,我們的經歷雖然各有不同,但是我們的命運是相通的,新的美國領袖誕生了。那些想要顛覆這個世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們,我們支持你們。那些所有懷疑美國能否繼續照亮世界發展前景的人們,今天晚上我們再次證明,我們國家真正的力量並非來自我們武器的威力或財富的規模,而是來自我們理想的持久力量:民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。

這才是美國真正的精華---美國能夠改變。我們的聯邦會日臻完善。我們取得的成就為我們將來能夠取得的以及必須取得的成就增添了希望。

這次大選創造了多項「第一」,也誕生了很多將世代流傳的故事。但是今天晚上令我難忘的卻是在亞特蘭大投票的一名婦女:安•尼克松•庫波爾(Ann Nixon Cooper)。她和其他數百萬排隊等待投票的選民沒有什麼差別,除了一點:她已是106歲的高齡。

她出生的那個時代奴隸制度剛剛結束;那時路上沒有汽車,天上也沒有飛機;當時像她這樣的人由於兩個原因不能投票--一是她是女性,另一個原因是她的膚色。

今天晚上,我想到了她在美國過去一百年間所經歷的種種:心痛和希望;掙扎和進步;那些我們被告知我們辦不到的世代,以及那些堅信美國信條---是的,我們能做到---的人們。

曾幾何時,婦女沒有發言權,她們的希望化作泡影,但是安•尼克松•庫波爾活了下來,看到婦女們站了起來,看到她們大聲發表自己的見解,看到她們去參加大選投票。是的,我們能做到。

當30年代的沙塵暴和大蕭條引發人們的絕望之情時,她看到一個國家用羅斯福新政、新就業機會以及對新目標的共同追求戰勝恐慌。是的,我們能做到。

當炸彈襲擊了我們的海港、獨裁專制威脅到全世界,她見證了美國一代人的偉大崛起,見證了一個民主國家被拯救。是的,我們能做到。

她看到蒙哥馬利通了公共汽車、伯明翰接上了水管、塞爾馬建了橋,一位來自亞特蘭大的傳教士告訴人們:我們能成功。是的,我們能做到。

人類登上月球、柏林牆倒下,世界因我們的科學和想像被連接在一起。今年,就在這次選舉中,她用手指觸碰屏幕投下自己的選票,因為在美國生活了106年之後,經歷了最好的時光和最黑暗的時刻之後,她知道美國如何能夠發生變革。是的,我們能做到。

美國,我們已經走過漫漫長路。我們已經歷了很多。但是我們仍有很多事情要做。因此今夜,讓我們自問---如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀;如果我們的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長,他們將會看到怎樣的改變?我們將會取得怎樣的進步?

現在是我們回答這個問題的機會。這是我們的時刻。這是我們的時代---讓我們的人民重新就業,為我們的後代敞開機會的大門;恢復繁榮發展,推進和平事業;讓「美國夢」重新煥發光芒,再次證明這樣一個基本的真理:我們是一家人;一息尚存,我們就有希望;當我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑,當有人說我們辦不到的時候,我們要以這個永恆的信條來回應他們:是的,我們能做到。

感謝你們。上帝保佑你們。願上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

㈩ 跪求奧巴馬在芝加哥的就職演講的英文演講稿

英文:, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of indivials or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has enred sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
