著什么,正如在阿靈頓(Arlington)公墓長(zhǎng)眠的陣亡英雄在漫漫歲月中低淺的吟誦。我們崇敬他們,不僅因?yàn)樗麄兒葱l(wèi)著我們的自由,而且因?yàn)樗麄兇碇I(xiàn)身精神,體現(xiàn)了超越個(gè)人,尋求遠(yuǎn)大理想的意愿。然而,在這個(gè)時(shí)刻,這個(gè)具有劃時(shí)代意義的時(shí)刻,我們大家必須具備的正是這種精神。雖然政府能有許多作為也必須有許多作為,但最終離不開美國(guó)人民的信仰和決心,這便是我國(guó)的立國(guó)之本。正是因?yàn)槿藗冊(cè)诖蟮瘫懒褧r(shí)接納陌生人的關(guān)愛(ài)之情,正是因?yàn)楣と藗儗幵笢p少自己的工時(shí)而不愿看到朋友失去工作的無(wú)私精神,才使我們度過(guò)了最暗淡的時(shí)光。正是因?yàn)橄狸?duì)員們有勇氣沖進(jìn)濃煙滾滾的樓道,也正是因?yàn)樽龈改傅南M囵B(yǎng)一個(gè)孩子,我們才能決定最后的命運(yùn)。我們面臨的挑戰(zhàn)可能前所未聞。我們迎接挑戰(zhàn)的方式也可能前所未有。然而,我們賴以成功的價(jià)值觀──誠(chéng)實(shí)和勤奮、勇氣和公平、寬容心和探索精神、忠誠(chéng)和愛(ài)國(guó)──均由來(lái)以久。這些價(jià)值觀都是千真萬(wàn)確的。這些價(jià)值觀是我國(guó)整個(gè)歷史過(guò)程中一股無(wú)聲的進(jìn)步力量?,F(xiàn)在需要的便是重歸這些真理。我們現(xiàn)在需要做的是開創(chuàng)負(fù)責(zé)任的新時(shí)代──每一位美國(guó)人都需要認(rèn)識(shí)到我們對(duì)自己、對(duì)國(guó)家、對(duì)全世界都承擔(dān)著義務(wù)。對(duì)于這些義務(wù),我們并非勉強(qiáng)接受,而是心甘情愿主動(dòng)承擔(dān),同時(shí)堅(jiān)信我們?yōu)槠D巨的使命付出一切,沒(méi)有任何事可以如此滿足我們的道義感,也沒(méi)有任何事能如此體現(xiàn)我們的特性。這就是公民的義務(wù)和承諾。這就是我們自信的來(lái)源──認(rèn)識(shí)到上帝呼喚我們?cè)谇巴静幻鞯那闆r下掌握自己的命運(yùn)。這就是我們的自由和我們堅(jiān)守的信條具有的意義──說(shuō)明了為什么各種族、各類信仰的男女老少能在這個(gè)雄偉的大草坪上歡聚一堂,也說(shuō)明了為什么今天有人能站在這里進(jìn)行最莊嚴(yán)的宣誓,但不到60年前他父親在當(dāng)?shù)夭宛^還不能受到接待。為此,讓我們記住這一天,記住我們是什么樣的人,記住我們已經(jīng)走過(guò)了多長(zhǎng)的路。在美利堅(jiān)誕生的年月,在那些最寒冷的日子里,為數(shù)不多的愛(ài)國(guó)者聚集在一條冰河的岸邊,身旁的篝火即將熄滅。首都已經(jīng)撤防。敵人正在進(jìn)軍。雪地沾滿了斑斑血跡。在我們的革命何去何從,結(jié)局最難以估計(jì)的時(shí)刻,我國(guó)的開國(guó)元?jiǎng)讻Q定向人民宣讀以下這段話:“讓我們昭告未來(lái)的世界......在這個(gè)酷寒的冬季,萬(wàn)物蕭蘇,只有希望和美德堅(jiān)忍不拔......這個(gè)城市和這個(gè)國(guó)家,受到共同危難的召喚,挺身而出,奮起迎戰(zhàn)。”美利堅(jiān)。在我們面臨共同危難之際,在我們遇到艱難險(xiǎn)阻的冬日,讓我們牢記這些永恒的話語(yǔ)。心懷希望和美德,讓我們?cè)僖淮尾粦謬?yán)寒,勇為中流砥柱,不論什么風(fēng)暴來(lái)襲,我們必將堅(jiān)不可摧。今后,讓我們的后代子孫如此評(píng)說(shuō):我們?cè)谟龅娇简?yàn)的時(shí)候沒(méi)有半途而廢,沒(méi)有退縮不前,也沒(méi)有絲毫動(dòng)搖;讓我們?nèi)褙炞?,高瞻遠(yuǎn)矚,感謝上帝對(duì)我們的恩典,繼承自由這個(gè)寶貴的傳統(tǒng),平穩(wěn)地世代相傳。第五篇:奧巴馬就職演講稿奧巴馬就職演講稿(中英文對(duì)照+同傳現(xiàn)場(chǎng))My
