onsibilitythe knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain ,上帝號召我們要掌握自己的命運(yùn)。在美國誕生的時代,那最寒冷的歲月里,一群勇敢的愛國人士圍著篝火在冰封的河邊取暖。s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter。我們要讓我們的子孫后代記住,在面臨挑戰(zhàn)的時候,我們沒有屈服,我們沒有逃避也沒有猶豫,我們腳踏實(shí)地、心懷信仰,秉承了寶貴的自由權(quán)利并將其安全地交到了下一代的手中。我要感謝布什總統(tǒng)對祖國的貢獻(xiàn),(APPLAUSE 鼓掌歡呼)同時也要感謝他在此次交接過程里展現(xiàn)出的風(fēng)度與協(xié)作。在這些艱難時刻,美國能一路挺進(jìn)并非僅僅因?yàn)轭I(lǐng)袖們的才能與遠(yuǎn)見,更是由于我們,美國人民,保持了對先輩們美好理想和基本信條的信仰與忠誠。我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)嚴(yán)重惡化,雖可以歸咎于某些人的貪得無厭與不負(fù)責(zé)任,在該做出艱難抉擇及為未來準(zhǔn)備方面,整個國家都集體迷失了。難以測量,但影響同樣深遠(yuǎn)的,是對國民信心的侵蝕:他們會憂心忡忡,擔(dān)心美國的衰退是無法避免的,擔(dān)憂下一代人必須降低期待。就在這一天,我們在此宣告,相互指摘與陳規(guī)舊律已經(jīng)束縛我們的政策太久了,無謂的爭論與不實(shí)的承諾必須終結(jié)。而必須是努力掙得的。為了我們,他們打點(diǎn)行裝,跨越海洋,尋找新生活。他們認(rèn)識到建設(shè)美利堅(jiān)這一事業(yè)比任何人的雄心壯志都更加宏大,比各不相同的出身、財(cái)富或是黨派更加偉大。我們的心靈依然渴望創(chuàng)造,與上周、往月、去年相比,我們的商品和服務(wù)照樣需求旺盛。(APPLAUSE 鼓掌歡呼)看看我們身邊,那有許多工作亟待完成。我們將恢復(fù)科學(xué)到原有的正確方向,運(yùn)用技術(shù)成果提升健康保障的質(zhì)量??(APPLAUSE 鼓掌歡呼).??并降低成本?,F(xiàn)在,有人質(zhì)疑我們的遠(yuǎn)大抱負(fù),認(rèn)為我們的社會難以支撐太多的宏大計(jì)劃。當(dāng)回答是肯定的,我們將不斷推行。(因?yàn)椋┦袌鰟?chuàng)造財(cái)富與擴(kuò)展自由的力量是無與倫比的。(APPLAUSE 鼓掌歡呼)至于我們的共同安全,我們拒絕安全與理想不能兩全的抉擇。(APPLAUSE 鼓掌歡呼)回想先輩,他們挫敗了法西斯主義和共產(chǎn)主義,不是靠炮彈與坦克,而是靠穩(wěn)固的聯(lián)盟與堅(jiān)定的信仰。我們會開始負(fù)責(zé)任地撤離伊拉克并交給她的人民,我們也會在阿富汗鞏固來之不易的和平。你們必將失敗,而我們終將獲勝”。正因?yàn)槲覀冊?jīng)品嘗過國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爭、種族隔離的苦酒,翻過那些黑暗篇章,我們愈發(fā)強(qiáng)大、更加團(tuán)結(jié),這使我們不由自主地相信:久遠(yuǎn)的仇恨終有一天會成為過去;種族的隔閡將會很快化解;隨著世界越來越小,我們共有的人性將會顯現(xiàn);而在引領(lǐng)進(jìn)入全新和平紀(jì)元的過程中,美國必須發(fā)揮自己的作用。(APPLAUSE 鼓掌歡呼)對于那些生活在貧窮國度里的人們,我們發(fā)誓與你們一起努力,使田莊豐產(chǎn),讓清水淌流;滋養(yǎng)瘦弱的身體,哺育衰弱的心靈。他們的叮囑,有如長眠在阿靈頓的無名英雄們發(fā)出穿越時空的沉吟。那是堤壩決潰時對受難者的善行義舉,那是寧可降低收入也不愿看到朋友失去工作的無私工友,正是由于他們,我們度過了危難時刻。這些傳統(tǒng)貫穿我們的歷史,默默發(fā)揮著強(qiáng)大作用。這就是信心之源:智慧上帝賦予我們智慧造化未知命運(yùn)。首都淪陷,敵人來勢洶洶,漫天白雪映血紅。謝謝你們,上帝保佑你們。s
