I share that is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ：“相比于過去的歷史，我更喜歡未來的夢想。將人們從壓迫與絕望中解救出來是永遠(yuǎn)正確的。但是目前這個世界確 實(shí)存在著善惡雙方，而且雙方之間無法達(dá)成妥協(xié)。As we address these challengesAmerica must maintain our moral have often spoken to you about good and has

that should shape our ，美國將面對更多的艱難抉擇，而有一些指導(dǎo)性原則可以塑造我們的道路。但是，我總是為國家利益的最大化來行動。Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced are things I would do differently if given the I have always acted with the best interests of our country in have followed my conscience and done what I thought was may not agree with some tough decisions I have I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough ，我也曾經(jīng)歷過挫折。憑借著我們的決心和辛勤工作，我們將美國經(jīng)濟(jì)重新拉回到增長的車道 上。但是如果我們不采取行動的話，結(jié)果將會更為糟糕。當(dāng)金融危機(jī)發(fā)生時，我們采取果斷措施來保護(hù)我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)。When challenges to our prosperity emerged,

troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks
