【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 to tonight, let us ask ourselvesif our children should live to see the next century。if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have

: 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(guó)會(huì)議員們、尊敬的各位嘉賓、親愛(ài)的公民們。Each time we

每一次我們集會(huì)慶?？偨y(tǒng)就職都是在見(jiàn)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(lái)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 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。造物主賦予他們?nèi)舾刹豢蓜儕Z的權(quán)利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的權(quán)利?！琓oday we continue 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(shí)代現(xiàn)實(shí)之間的橋梁。因?yàn)闅v史告訴我們，即便這些真理是不言而喻的，它們也從來(lái)不會(huì)自動(dòng)生效。因?yàn)殡m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(guó)的愛(ài)國(guó)先驅(qū)們不是只為了推翻國(guó)王的暴政而戰(zhàn)，也不是為贏得少數(shù)人的特權(quán)，建立暴民的統(tǒng)治。先驅(qū)們留給我們一個(gè)共和國(guó)，一個(gè)民有、民治、民享的政府。他們委托每一代美國(guó)人捍衛(wèi)我們的建國(guó)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(yuǎn)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(jìn)。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(jì)體系。架設(shè)鐵路與高速公路，加速了旅行和商業(yè)交流。建立學(xué)校與大學(xué)，培訓(xùn)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(chǎng)的繁榮只能建立在保障競(jìng)爭(zhēng)與公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng)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(hù)她的人民不受生命威脅和不幸的侵?jǐn)_。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(duì)集權(quán)的質(zhì)疑。我們同樣不屈服于這一謊言：一切的社會(huì)弊端都能夠只靠政府來(lái)解決。我們對(duì)積極向上與奮發(fā)進(jìn)取的贊揚(yáng)，我們對(duì)努力工作與個(gè)人責(zé)任的堅(jiān)持，這些都是美國(guó)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 or munism with muskets and single person can train all the math and science
