【文章內容簡介】 是，我們拒絕接受這種看法，亦即美國必須在照顧建設了國家的那代人和投資于開創(chuàng)國家未來的那代人之間作出選擇。我們記得過去的教訓：老人的暮年在貧困中度過，殘疾孩子的父母走投無路。我們不相信，在這個國家里自由只屬于幸運者，幸福只屬于少數(shù)人。我們知道，無論我們平日如何負責，我們當中任何人，在任何時候，都有可能面臨失業(yè)、突然生病或者房子被風暴卷走的情況。我們通過聯(lián)邦醫(yī)療保險、醫(yī)療補助計劃以及社會安全保障為彼此作出的承諾，不僅不會挫傷我們的積極性，反而使我們更加強壯。它們不會使我們成為一群不勞而獲的人，反而使我們敢于去冒險，這才使國家強大。We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful path towardssustainable

，美國人，依然相信我們作為美國人的承諾不僅是對自己的，也是對所有子孫后代的。我們會對氣候變化的威脅做出回應，因為我們了解如果不這樣做，將會違背對子孫后代的承諾。有些人可能依然不承認科學的判斷，但所有人都無法不去正視瘋狂的野火、殘酷的干旱、更大風暴的襲擊。通往可持續(xù)發(fā)展能源的道路會是漫長的，而且有時會很艱難。但美國不能抗拒這個轉變，而是必須領導這個轉變。我們不能將可以增加就業(yè)、誕生新型產業(yè)的這些技術拱手讓給其它國家，我們必須擁有這些技術。這是維護我們經濟的活力與國家財富的途徑，這些財富包括我們的森林、江河、農田、雪山。這是保護我們的地球的途徑，那是上帝交給我們去守護的。這也是我們?yōu)橄闰寕冃镜男拍钤黾有碌暮x的途徑。We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war, who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends, and we must carry those lessons into this time as ，美國人，依然相信不必通過無休止的戰(zhàn)爭就能獲得永久的安全與和平。我們的軍人久經戰(zhàn)火考驗，技能和勇氣都舉世無雙。我們的人民永遠銘記先烈們的犧牲，珍惜自由的來之不易。不忘先烈們的犧牲將讓我們永遠對敵人保持警惕。但是我們同樣牢記那些不僅能夠贏得戰(zhàn)爭、還能贏得和平、化頑敵為摯友的人們。這些經驗教訓，我們今天必須發(fā)揚光大。We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully – not because we are na239。ve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe。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。from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience pel us to act on behalf of those who long for we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our mon creeddescribes:tolerance and opportunity。human dignity and 。我們將通過試圖與其它國家和平地解決爭端來顯示我們的勇氣——這不是出于對我們面臨的危險的無知，而是相信協(xié)商能夠更長久地解除懷疑與恐懼。美國將繼續(xù)在世界每個角落都保持積極的聯(lián)盟，我們也將繼續(xù)維護那些令我們能夠在國外應付危機的機制，因為沒有哪個國家會比世界上最強大的國家更需要一個和平的世界。我們將支持從亞洲到非洲、從拉美到中東的民主發(fā)展，因為利益和良知促使我們去支持那些希望自由的人們。我們也必須是貧困、疾病、歧視、偏見的受害者們的后援——這不僅僅是出于慈善為懷，也因為我們時代的和平需要不斷地推動我們共同信念所基于的原則，包括寬容、機遇、人類尊嚴與公正。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。just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall。just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone。to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on ，美國人，今天宣布，最不言自明的真理——人人生而平等——仍然是指引我們的北斗星，就像當年這條真理在色內加瀑布[1]、塞爾瑪[2]、石墻[3]這些地方指引著人們，它指引著在這個宏大的草坪上留下了足跡的所有知名和不知名的人們。他們來到這里聆聽宣講，說我們不能獨自行進；他們來聆聽一位王者[4]說，我們的個人自由與地球上每個人的自由是緊密地聯(lián)系在一起的。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

lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from 。在我們的妻子、母親、女兒，在得到與她們的付出相符的待遇之前，我們的使命還沒有完成；在我們同性戀的兄弟和姐妹像其他人一樣在法律上被視真正平等之前，我們的使命還沒有完成因為如果我們之間真正平等，那么可以肯定，我們所承諾的彼此相愛也必須是平等的。在所有公民行使投票權不必被迫等待幾個小時之前，我們的使命還沒有完成。在我們找到一個更好的方式來歡迎那些仍然可以把美國看作一個充滿機遇的土地，樂于奮斗，充滿希望的移民之前，在那些聰明的年輕學生和工程師被納入到我們的勞動大軍之中而不是被驅逐出境之前，我們的使命還沒有完成。在從底特律的街頭到阿巴拉契亞山間到紐頓安靜的小巷中，我們所有的孩子們都知道他們在被關心和愛護，安全有保障之前，我們的使命還沒有完成。That
