s journey to the 21st century, I39。m really looking forward to doing is taking questions, not only from students who are in the audience, but also we39。s President Yang for his hospitality(好客)and his gracious(有禮貌的,親切的)39。懷著希望和美德,讓我們?cè)俣葲_破結(jié)冰的逆流,度過(guò)接下來(lái)可能來(lái)臨的暴風(fēng)雪。在美國(guó)誕生這一年,在最寒冷的幾個(gè)月,在結(jié)冰的河岸,一群愛國(guó)人士抱著垂死的同志。這是公民的代價(jià)和承諾。我們的挑戰(zhàn)也許是新的,我們迎接挑戰(zhàn)的工具也許是新的,但我們賴以成功的價(jià)值觀─辛勤工作和誠(chéng)實(shí)、勇氣和公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng)、容忍和好奇心、忠實(shí)和愛國(guó)心─這些都是固有的。在堤防決堤時(shí),是人們的善心,讓他們招待陌生人。今天他們有話要對(duì)我們說(shuō),就和躺在阿靈頓(公墓)的英雄們世世代代輕聲訴說(shuō)的一樣。那些窮國(guó)的人民,我們保證會(huì)和你們合作,讓們的農(nóng)場(chǎng)豐收,讓清流涌入,滋補(bǔ)餓壞的身體,喂養(yǎng)饑餓的心靈。隨著世界越來(lái)越小,我們共通的人性也會(huì)彰顯,而美國(guó)必須扮演引進(jìn)新和平時(shí)代的角色。因?yàn)槲覀冎?,我們拼湊組合而成的遺產(chǎn)是我們的強(qiáng)處,而非弱點(diǎn)。在這些原則的再次指引下,我們可以面對(duì)那些新的威脅,這些威脅有賴國(guó)與國(guó)間更大的合作與諒解方能因應(yīng)?;叵胂惹暗氖来狗ㄎ魉怪髁x和共產(chǎn)主義,靠的除了飛彈和戰(zhàn)車之外,還有強(qiáng)固的聯(lián)盟和持久的信念。我們建國(guó)諸父在我們難以想像的危難之中。我們眼前的問(wèn)題也不是說(shuō)市場(chǎng)的力量是善或惡。我們今天的問(wèn)題不是政府太大或太小,而是有無(wú)功效,是否能幫助家庭找到薪水不錯(cuò)的工作,支付得起照顧費(fèi)用,有尊嚴(yán)的退休。現(xiàn)在,有人質(zhì)疑我們的雄心,暗示說(shuō)我們的體系無(wú)法承受太多的大計(jì)畫。我們將利用太陽(yáng)能、風(fēng)力和土壤作為汽車的燃料和工廠的能源。我們無(wú)論朝何處望去,都有工作必須完成。我們的心智一樣創(chuàng)新,我們的產(chǎn)品和勞務(wù)和上周或上個(gè)月或去年相比,一樣是必需品。他們將美國(guó)視為大於所有個(gè)人企圖心總和的整體,超越出身、財(cái)富或小圈圈的差異。為了我們,他們攜帶很少的家當(dāng),遠(yuǎn)渡重洋,追尋新生活。再次肯定我們國(guó)家的偉大,我們了解偉大絕非賜予而來(lái),必須努力達(dá)成。但是,美國(guó)要了解,這些挑戰(zhàn)會(huì)被解決。這些都是得自資料和統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)的危機(jī)指標(biāo)。我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)元?dú)獯髠@既是某些人貪婪且不負(fù)責(zé)任的後果,也是大眾未能做出艱難的選擇,對(duì)國(guó)家進(jìn)入新時(shí)代做準(zhǔn)備不足所致。在艱困的時(shí)候,美國(guó)能箕裘相繼,不僅因?yàn)榫痈呶徽哂心芰蛟妇?,也因?yàn)槿嗣癯掷m(xù)對(duì)先人的抱負(fù)有信心,也忠於創(chuàng)建我國(guó)的法統(tǒng)。a willingness to find meaning in something greater than yet, at this momentit is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest is the firefighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our challenges may be instruments with which we meet them may be those values upon which our success dependsthese things are things are have been the quiet force of progress throughout our is demanded

children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have the year of America’s birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy capital was enemy was snow was stained with a moment when the oute of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:“Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one mon danger, came forth to meet [it].” the face of our mon dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter。you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindusknow that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history。endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and

and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent Mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred ──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,但他的父親在不到60年前還不能在當(dāng)?shù)夭宛^受到接待。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)。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)和愛國(guó)──均由來(lái)以久。正是因?yàn)槿藗冊(cè)诖蟮瘫懒褧r(shí)接納陌生人的關(guān)愛之情,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。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。As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol faroff deserts and distant have something to tell us, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service。nor can we consume the world39。對(duì)于世界上那些妄圖制造矛盾、將自己社會(huì)的弊端歸罪于西方的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人,我們奉勸你們:你們的人民將以你們的建設(shè)成就而不是你們的毀滅能力來(lái)評(píng)判你們。由于我們飲過(guò)南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和種族隔離的苦水,走出了那個(gè)黑暗時(shí)代并變得更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和團(tuán)結(jié),我們不能不相信昔日的仇恨終有一天會(huì)成為過(guò)去;部族之間的界線很快會(huì)消失;隨著世界變得越來(lái)越小,我們共同的人性將得到彰顯;美國(guó)必須為迎來(lái)一個(gè)和平的新紀(jì)元發(fā)揮自己的作用。that as the world grows smaller, our mon humanity shall reveal itself。我們不會(huì)在價(jià)值觀念上退縮,也不會(huì)動(dòng)搖捍衛(wèi)它的決心,對(duì)于那些妄圖以煽動(dòng)恐怖和屠殺無(wú)辜的手段達(dá)到其目的的人,我們現(xiàn)在就告訴你們,我們的意志更加頑強(qiáng)、堅(jiān)不可摧;你們無(wú)法拖垮我們,我們必將戰(zhàn)勝你們。you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat 。our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and ,幾代人在戰(zhàn)勝法西斯主義和共產(chǎn)主義時(shí)依靠的不僅僅是導(dǎo)彈和坦克,更是牢固的聯(lián)盟和不渝的信念。今天,這些理念仍然照耀著世界,我們不會(huì)為一時(shí)之利而棄之。我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)成功從來(lái)不是僅僅依賴國(guó)內(nèi)總產(chǎn)值的規(guī)模,而是還依賴繁榮的普及,即為每一位愿意致富的人提供機(jī)會(huì)的能力——不是通過(guò)施舍——因?yàn)檫@才是最可靠的共同富裕之路。作為公共資金的管理者,我們必須承擔(dān)責(zé)任——明智地使用資金,拋棄壞習(xí)慣,在陽(yáng)光下履行職責(zé)——因?yàn)橹挥羞@樣我們才能恢復(fù)人民對(duì)政府的至關(guān)重要的信任。s
