【正文】 第一篇：奧巴馬就職演講稿(中英文對照同傳現(xiàn)場)專題北京時間1月22日凌晨，貝拉克侯賽因奧巴馬宣誓就職第四十四任美利堅合眾國總統(tǒng)并發(fā)表就職演說。奧巴馬在演講中追溯美國民主傳統(tǒng)和憲法精神，強調(diào)了民眾的力量。演講中涉及了包括就業(yè)、醫(yī)保、移民和同性戀等多項議題，以下為奧巴馬就職演說全文：: Thank you so President Biden, Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:謝謝，非常感謝大家。拜登副總統(tǒng)、首席大法官先生、國會議員們、尊敬的各位嘉賓、親愛的公民們。Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our affirm the promise of our recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:每一次我們集會慶?？偨y(tǒng)就職都是在見證美國憲法的持久力量。我們都是在肯定美國民主的承諾。我們重申，將這個國家緊密聯(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，讓我們成為美國人的是我們對于一種理念的恪守。200多年前，這一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰闡述：“We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”“我們認為下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。造物主賦予他們?nèi)舾刹豢蓜儕Z的權利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的權利。”Today we continue a neverending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our history tells us that while these truths may be selfevident, they have never beenselfexecuting。that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding ，我們繼續(xù)著這一未竟的征程，架起這些理念與我們時代現(xiàn)實之間的橋梁。因為歷史告訴我們，即便這些真理是不言而喻的，它們也從來不會自動生效。因為雖然自由是上帝賦予的禮物，但仍需要世間的子民去捍衛(wèi)。1776年，美國的愛國先驅(qū)們不是只為了推翻國王的暴政而戰(zhàn)，也不是為贏得少數(shù)人的特權，建立暴民的統(tǒng)治。先驅(qū)們留給我們一個共和國，一個民有、民治、民享的政府。他們委托每一代美國人捍衛(wèi)我們的建國信條。For more than two hundred years, we ，我們做到了。Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive halfslave and made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward ，建立在自由與平等原則之上的聯(lián)邦不能永遠維持半奴隸和半自由的狀態(tài)。我們贏得了新生，誓言共同前進。Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and merce。schools and colleges to train our workers。我們共同努力，建立起現(xiàn)代的經(jīng)濟體系。架設鐵路與高速公路，加速了旅行和商業(yè)交流。建立學校與大學，培訓我們的工人。Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure petition and fair ，自由市場的繁榮只能建立在保障競爭與公平競爭的原則之上。Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and ，保護她的人民不受生命威脅和不幸的侵擾。Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government celebration of initiative and enterprise。our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our ，我們從未放棄對集權的質(zhì)疑。我們同樣不屈服于這一謊言：一切的社會弊端都能夠只靠政府來解決。我們對積極向上與奮發(fā)進取的贊揚，我們對努力工作與個人責任的堅持，這些都是美國精神的基本要義。But we have always understood that when times change, so must we。that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges。that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism ormunism with muskets and single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs thatwill bring new jobs and businesses to our , more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one ，時代在變化，我們同樣需要變革。對建國精神的忠誠，需要我們肩負起新的責任，迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)。保護我們的個人自由，最終需要所有人的共同努力。因為美國人不能再獨力迎接當今世界的挑戰(zhàn)，正如美國士兵們不能再像先輩一樣，用步槍和民兵同敵人(法西斯主義與共產(chǎn)主義)作戰(zhàn)。一個人無法培訓所有的數(shù)學

resolve and proved our decade of war is now economic recovery has ’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive。diversity and openness。an endless capacity for risk and a gift for fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it ，經(jīng)濟危機堅定了我們的決心，證明了我們的恢復力。長達十年的戰(zhàn)爭正在結束，經(jīng)濟的復蘇已經(jīng)開始。美國的可能性是無限的，因為我們擁有當今沒有邊界的世界所需要的所有品質(zhì)：年輕與活力、多樣性與開放、無窮的冒險精神以及創(chuàng)造的天賦才能。我親愛的同胞們，我們正是為此刻而生，我們更要在此刻團結一致，抓住當下的機會。For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising

girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our ，美國人民，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，我們的國家就無法成功。我們相信，美國的繁榮必須建立在不斷上升的中產(chǎn)階級的寬闊臂膀之上，我們知道美國的繁榮只有這樣才能實現(xiàn)。只有當每個人都能找到工作中的自立與自豪時才能實現(xiàn)。只有當誠實勞動獲得的薪水足夠讓家庭 擺脫困苦的懸崖時才能實現(xiàn)。我們忠誠于我們的事業(yè)，保證讓一個出生于最貧窮環(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會。因為她是一個美國人，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。We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our must
