3、enturies ag:每一次我們集會(huì)慶?？偨y(tǒng)就職都是在見證美國(guó)憲法的持久力量。我們都是在肯定美國(guó)民主的承諾。我們重申，將這個(gè)國(guó)家緊密聯(lián)系在一起的不是我們的膚色，也不是我們信仰的教條，更不是我們名字的來源。讓我們與眾不同，讓我們成為美國(guó)人的是我們對(duì)于一種理念的恪守。200多年前，這一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰闡述：“we hld these truths t be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endwed by their creatr with certain unalienable rights, tha

9、ther, we reslved that a great natin must care fr the vulnerable, and prtect its peple frm lifes wrst hazards and misfrtune.我們共同決定讓這個(gè)偉大的國(guó)家遠(yuǎn)離危險(xiǎn)，保護(hù)她的人民不受生命威脅和不幸的侵?jǐn)_。thrugh it all, we have never relinquished ur skepticism f central authrity, nr have we succumbed t the fictin that all scietys ills can be

15、a gift fr reinventin.my fellw americans, we are made fr this mment, and we will seize it ndash; s lng as we seize it tgether.這一代美國(guó)人經(jīng)歷了危機(jī)的考驗(yàn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)堅(jiān)定了我們的決心，證明了我們的恢復(fù)力。長(zhǎng)達(dá)十年的戰(zhàn)斗正在結(jié)束，經(jīng)濟(jì)的復(fù)蘇已經(jīng)開始。美國(guó)的可能性是無限的，因?yàn)槲覀儞碛挟?dāng)今沒有邊界的世界所需要的所有品質(zhì)：年輕與活力、多樣性與開放、無窮的冒險(xiǎn)精神以及創(chuàng)造的天賦才能。我親愛的同胞們，我們正是為此刻而生，我們更要在此刻團(tuán)結(jié)一致，抓住當(dāng)下的機(jī)會(huì)。fr we, the p

16、eple, understand that ur cuntry cannt succeed when a shrinking few d very well and a grwing many barely make it. we believe that americas prsperity must rest upn the brad shulders f a rising middle class. we knw that america thrives when every persn can find independence and pride in their wrk; when

17、 the wages f hnest labr liberate families frm the brink f hardship. we are true t ur creed when a little girl brn int the bleakest pverty knws that she has the same chance t succeed as anybdy else, because she is an american, she is free, and she is equal, nt just in the eyes f gd but als in ur wn.因

18、為我們，美國(guó)人民，清楚如果只有不斷萎縮的少數(shù)人群體獲得成功，而大多數(shù)人不能成功，我們的國(guó)家就無法成功。我們相信，美國(guó)的繁榮必須建立在不斷上升的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的寬闊臂膀之上，我們知道美國(guó)的繁榮只有這樣才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。只有當(dāng)每個(gè)人都能找到工作中的自立與自豪時(shí)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。只有當(dāng)誠(chéng)實(shí)勞動(dòng)獲得的薪水足夠讓家庭擺脫困苦的懸崖時(shí)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們忠誠(chéng)于我們的事業(yè)，保證讓一個(gè)出生于最貧窮環(huán)境中的小女孩都能知道，她有同其他所有人一樣的成功機(jī)會(huì)。因?yàn)樗且粋€(gè)美國(guó)人，她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不僅由上帝來見證，更由我們親手保護(hù)。we understand that utwrn prgrams are inadequate t

20、rminatin f every single american. that is what this mment requires. that is what will give real meaning t ur creed.我們知道，我們已然陳舊的程序不足以滿足時(shí)代的需要。我們必須應(yīng)用新理念和新技術(shù)重塑我們的政府，改進(jìn)我們的稅法，改革我們的學(xué)校，讓我們的公民擁有他們所需要的技能，更加努力地工作，學(xué)更多的知識(shí)，向更高處發(fā)展。這意味著變革，我們的目標(biāo)是：國(guó)家可以獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)每個(gè)美國(guó)人的努力和果斷。這是現(xiàn)在需要的。這將給我們的信條賦予真正的意義。we, the peple, still believe

21、 that every citizen deserves a basic measure f security and dignity. we must make the hard chices t reduce the cst f health care and the size f ur deficit. but we reject the belief that america must chse between caring fr the generatin that built this cuntry and investing in the generatin that will build its future. fr we remember the lessns f ur past, when twilight years were spent in pverty, and parents f a child with a disability had nwhere t turn. we d nt believe that in this cuntry, freedm is reserved fr the lucky, r happiness fr the few. we
