【正文】 我們必須行動，要意識到我們的工作并不完美。我們的征途不會結(jié)束，直到我們所有的兒童，從底特律的街道到阿巴拉契亞的山嶺，再到康涅狄格州紐鎮(zhèn)安靜的小巷，直到他們得到關(guān)心和珍視，永遠(yuǎn)避免受到傷害。It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers our journey is not plete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their journey is not plete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we

until we find a better way to wele the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity。We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still。and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful will support democracy from Asia to Africa。這將給我們的建國之父們曾宣布的信條賦予意義。our croplands and snowcapped is how we will preserve our planet, manded to our care by ’s what will lend meaning to the creed

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。作為一個國家，一個民族團(tuán)結(jié)起來。that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges。建立學(xué)校與大學(xué)，培訓(xùn)我們的工人。他們委托每一代美國人捍衛(wèi)我們的建國信條。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(rèn)為下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。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。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。這是公民應(yīng)盡的義務(wù)，應(yīng)做出的承諾。s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke,
