【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 美國國會議員、尊敬的客人和美國同胞們： 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 exceptionalis our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每次聚在一起舉行總統(tǒng)就職儀式時，我們總能見證到憲法經(jīng)久不衰的力量。我們肯定民主的承諾。我們回憶起，團結(jié)這個國家的力量不是皮膚的顏色、所信奉的教條或名字的起源。讓我們與眾不同、成為美國人的是源自對一個理念的效忠，它早在2個多世紀前就在一份宣言中有過明確表述：―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.‖―我們認為這一真理是不言自明的：人人生而平等，并由造物主賦予了某些不可轉(zhuǎn)讓的權(quán)利，其中包括生命、自由和追求幸福的權(quán)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’ve never been selfexecuting。that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth.(applause.)the 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 ，為了縮小這些文字意義與當今現(xiàn)實間的差距，我們將繼續(xù)這場沒有盡頭的旅程。因為歷史告訴我們，雖然這些真理也許不言自明，但它們從不會自動生效；雖然自由是來自上帝的禮物，但它必須由地球上的子民們?nèi)幦　?776年的愛國者們不是為了用少數(shù)人的特權(quán)或烏合之眾的法則取代國王的暴政而戰(zhàn)斗。他們給予我們的是一個共和國、一個民有、民治、民享的政府，并委托每一代人去捍衛(wèi)我們的建國理念。and for more than two hundred years, we ，我們一直如此。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 ，我們學到，沒有哪個建立在自由平等原則上的聯(lián)盟能夠容忍半奴隸半自由的狀態(tài)。我們重塑自我，并發(fā)誓一同前進。我們一同決定，一個現(xiàn)代經(jīng)濟體需要鐵路和高速路來促進旅游和商務(wù)，需要學校和大學來培訓我們的工人。我們一同發(fā)現(xiàn)，一個自由市場只有當規(guī)則能確保公平競爭時才能夠繁榮。together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and ，一個偉大的國家必須照顧弱者，并保護他們不受到生活最惡劣的傷害和不幸。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 ，我們從未放棄過對中央集權(quán)的質(zhì)疑，也未曾對光靠政但是我們一直懂得，當時代改變時，我們也必須做出相應(yīng)的改變：忠于建國原則需要我們以新的方式應(yīng)對新的挑戰(zhàn)；保證個人自由最終需要我們采取集體行動。因為沒有哪個美國人能獨自滿足當今世界的需求，就像美國士兵無法獨自迎戰(zhàn)擁有槍彈和民兵的法西斯主義。沒有哪一個人能為我們孩子的未來培訓所有的數(shù)學和理科教師，或是通過修路聯(lián)網(wǎng)和建立研究型實驗室給我們海岸帶來更多就業(yè)和商業(yè)活動。作為一個國家、一個民族，我們現(xiàn)在比以往任何時候都有必要團結(jié)一致，共同去做這些事。第二篇：奧巴馬就職演講稿奧巴馬就職演講稿Hello,

who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better ，太多的人在很長的時間內(nèi)給他們說這個答案，以至于他們對此持憤世疾俗的態(tài)度，對我們是否可以再一次把握歷史的希望感到擔心和懷疑。It’s been a long time ing, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has
