【正文】 There are too many distinguished guests to mention all of you I do want to acknowledge a few who have champione。米歇爾和我歡迎大家光臨白宮。奧巴馬美國華盛頓 白宮 國宴廳2011年1月19日Good evening, have a behalf of Michelle and myself, wele to the White thank you for joining us as we host President Hu and the Chinese delegation, and as we pay tribute to the bonds between two great nations and two proud 。讓我們孩子的孩子繼續(xù)流傳下去，說我們受到考驗(yàn)時(shí)，我們拒絕讓旅程結(jié)束，我們不回頭，也不躊躇；眼睛注視著 遠(yuǎn)方，上帝的恩典降臨我們，我們帶著自由這個(gè)偉大的禮物，安全送達(dá)未來的世世代代?！泵绹鎸?duì)我們共同的危險(xiǎn)，在這個(gè)艱困的冬天，讓我們記得這些永恒的話語。首都棄守，敵人進(jìn)逼，雪沾了血。讓我們記住這一天，記住我們是誰、我們走了多遠(yuǎn)。這是我們信心的來源，體認(rèn)上帝召喚我們創(chuàng)造不確定的命運(yùn)。我們現(xiàn)在需要一 個(gè)勇於負(fù)責(zé)的新時(shí)代，每一個(gè)美國人都體認(rèn)到我們對(duì)自己、對(duì)國家、對(duì)世界負(fù)有責(zé)任，我們不是不情愿地接受這些責(zé)任，而是欣然接受，堅(jiān)信沒有什麼比全力以赴完 成艱難的工作，更能得到精神上的滿足，更能找到自我。這些價(jià)值是真實(shí)的，是我們歷史上進(jìn)步的沉默力量。是父母心 甘情愿培育孩子，最終決定我們的命運(yùn)。是工作人員的無私，讓他們寧可減工時(shí)，也不愿看到朋友失業(yè)，陪伴我們度過最黑暗時(shí)期。即使政府能做和必須做，這個(gè)國家最終仍得靠美國人民的信念與決心。我們尊榮他們，不只因?yàn)樗麄兒葱l(wèi)我們的自由，更因?yàn)樗麄兇碇?wù)的精 神；愿意在比自己更大的事物上找尋意義。在我們思索眼前道路的此際，我們以謙虛感激的心想到，有些勇敢的美國同胞正在遙遠(yuǎn)的沙漠和山嶺上巡邏。而對(duì)那些和我們一樣比較富裕的國家，我要說，我們不能再對(duì)國界以外的苦痛視而不見，也不能再消耗世上的資源而不計(jì)後果。那些靠著貪腐欺騙和箝制異己保住權(quán)勢的人，須知你們站在歷史錯(cuò)誤的一 邊，而只要你愿意松手，我們就會(huì)伸出援助之手。對(duì)穆斯林世界，我們尋求一種新的前進(jìn)方式，以共同的利益和尊重為基礎(chǔ)。而且由於我們?cè)鴩L過內(nèi)戰(zhàn)和種族隔離的苦果，并且在走出那黑暗時(shí)期之後變得 更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和團(tuán)結(jié)，這讓我們不得不相信舊日的仇恨終究會(huì)過去，部族之間的界線很快就會(huì)泯滅。我們是由基督徒和穆斯林，猶太教徒和印 度教徒，以及非信徒組成的國家。我們不會(huì)為我們的生活方式而道歉，也會(huì)毫不動(dòng)搖地保護(hù)它，對(duì)那些想要藉由帶來恐怖與殺害無辜以遂其目的者，我們現(xiàn)在告訴你，我們的精神強(qiáng)過你們，無法摧折，你們不可能比我們長久，我們必定打敗你們。我們將開始以負(fù)責(zé)任的方式把伊拉克還給它的人民，并在阿富汗建立贏來不易的和平。我們是這些遺產(chǎn)的保存者。他們知道單單力量本身不足以讓我們自保，也不能讓我們?yōu)樗麨?。同樣地，今日在觀看此情此景的其他民族和政府，從最宏偉的都城到家父出生的小村莊，我要說：任何一個(gè)國家、男、女、和孩童，只要你在追求一個(gè)和平且有尊嚴(yán)的未來，美國就是你的朋友，我們準(zhǔn)備再次帶領(lǐng)大家。擬具了確保法治和人權(quán)的憲章，被一代代以鮮血擴(kuò)大充實(shí)的憲章。至於我們的共同防衛(wèi)，讓我們必須在自由和理想之間作一抉 擇，是錯(cuò)誤的，我們拒絕接受。市場創(chuàng)造財(cái)富 和增加自由的力量無與倫比，但是這場危機(jī)提醒我們沒有監(jiān)督時(shí)，市場發(fā)展將失控，當(dāng)市場只偏愛有錢人時(shí)，國家無法永續(xù)繁榮。所有我們這些管理大眾金錢的人都將負(fù)起責(zé)任，花錢要精明，改掉惡習(xí)，正大 光明作事情，只有這樣我們才能重建政府與人民間最重要的信任。哪個(gè)方向能夠提供肯定的答案，我們就往那里走。懷疑者無法理解的是他們的主張已經(jīng)站不住腳，長期以來折磨 我們的陳腐政治爭議已經(jīng)行不通。這些人的記性不好。我們也將會(huì)作到。我們將讓中小學(xué)及大專院校轉(zhuǎn) 型，因應(yīng)新時(shí)代的需要。我們將讓 科學(xué)回歸合適的用途，運(yùn)用科技的奇蹟來提高醫(yī)療品質(zhì)并降低費(fèi)用。經(jīng)濟(jì)情勢需要大 膽、迅速的行動(dòng)，我們將有所行動(dòng)，不光是創(chuàng)造新工作，更要奠定成長的新基礎(chǔ)。由今天開始，我們必須振作起來，拍掉身上的灰塵，再度開始重塑美國。我們 的能力并未減損。這場危機(jī)爆發(fā)時(shí)，我們的勞工生產(chǎn)力并未減弱。這是我們今天繼續(xù)前進(jìn)的旅程。前人不斷的奮斗與犧牲，直到雙手皮開肉綻，我們才能享有比較好的生活。為了我們，他們胼手胝足，在西部安頓下來；忍受風(fēng)吹雨打，篳路藍(lán)縷。恰恰相 反，走這條路的始終是勇於冒險(xiǎn)的人，做事的人，成事的人，其中有些人很出名，但更常見的是在各自崗位上的男男女女無名英雄，在這條漫長崎嶇的道路上支撐我 們，邁向繁榮與自由。我們的旅程從來就不是抄捷徑或很容易就滿足。我們?nèi)允莻€(gè)年輕的國家，但借用圣經(jīng)的話，擺脫幼稚事物的時(shí)刻到來了，重申我們堅(jiān)忍精神的時(shí)刻到來了，選擇我們更好的歷史，實(shí)踐那種代代傳承的珍貴權(quán)利，那種高貴的理念：就是上帝的應(yīng)許，我們每個(gè)人都是平等的，每個(gè)人都是自由的，每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該有機(jī)會(huì)追求全然的幸福。在這一天，我們聚在一起，因?yàn)槲覀冞x擇希望而非恐懼，有意義的團(tuán)結(jié)而非紛爭和不合。它們不是可以輕易，或在短時(shí)間內(nèi)解決。比較無法測量但同樣深沉的，是舉國信心盡失——持續(xù)擔(dān)心美國將無可避免地衰退，也害怕下一代一定會(huì)眼界變低。每天都有更多證據(jù)顯示，我們利用能源的方式壯大我們的對(duì)敵，威脅我們的星球。許多人失去房 子，丟了工作，生意蕭條?，F(xiàn)在大家都知道我們正置身危機(jī)核心，我國正在與四處蔓延的 暴力和憎恨作戰(zhàn)。因此，美國才能承繼下來。四十四位美國人發(fā)表過總統(tǒng)就職誓言，這些誓詞或是在繁榮富強(qiáng)及和平寧靜之際發(fā)表，或是在烏云密布，時(shí)局動(dòng)蕩之時(shí)。s grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future （供參考）各位同胞：今天我站在這里，為眼前的重責(zé)大任感到謙卑，對(duì)各位的信任心懷感激，對(duì)先賢的犧牲銘記在心。s children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end,
