My fellow citizens:各位同胞:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。
我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务,也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言,这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表,或是在乌云密布,时局动荡之时。
奥巴马芝加哥就职演讲稿篇一:奥巴马就职演讲稿成功赢得美国总统大选的奥巴马11月5日下午(北京时间)在芝加哥格兰特公园举行盛大的集会,发表以“美国的变革”为主题的获胜演说。
他表示,美国迎来变革时代(changeiscomingtoamerica),并且呼吁美国人民团结起来。
-----以下为演讲全文(已更新为华尔街日报翻译的版本,谢谢157楼的朋友提醒)-----如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑,还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活,还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量,那么今晚,这些问题都有了答案。
这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案;是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案,其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样,认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。
这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案--无论老少贫富,无论是民主党还是共和党,无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民,是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人--我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营,我们是美利坚合众国这个整体,永远都是。
长久以来,很多人一再受到告诫,要对我们所能取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能事,但这个答案让这些人伸出手来把握历史,再次让它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。
已经过去了这么长时间,但今晚,由于我们在今天、在这场大选中、在这个具有决定性的时刻所做的,美国已经迎来了变革。
我刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。
他在这场大选中经过了长时间的努力奋斗,而他为自己所深爱的这个国家奋斗的时间更长、过程更艰辛。
他为美国做出了我们大多数人难以想像的牺牲,我们的生活也因这位勇敢无私的领袖所做出的贡献而变得更美好。
我向他和佩林州长所取得的成绩表示祝贺,我也期待着与他们一起在未来的岁月中为复兴这个国家的希望而共同努力。
我要感谢我在这次旅程中的伙伴--已当选美国副总统的拜登。
他全心参与竞选活动,为普通民众代言,他们是他在斯克兰顿从小到大的伙伴,也是在他回特拉华的火车上遇到的男男女女。
美国第44任总统贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马就职演说(全文)谢谢,非常感谢,副总统拜登、首席大法官、美国国会议员,各位尊敬的来宾以及各位国民。
每次在总统就职仪式上,我们都见证了我们宪法持久的力量。
我们重新讲出对宪法的承诺,无论我们种族背景如何、我们信仰怎样,我们都是美国大家庭的一员。
在两个多世纪之前,我们就已经做出相关的承诺,所有的人生来平等,他们生来就富有别人无法剥夺的权利,他们有自由,也有追寻幸福的权利。
今天我们将会继续这样的一个旅程,把这些词语的意义带入现实,历史告诉我们,也许事实非常的明显,但是事实不会无中生有,我们必须是脚踏实地的。
我们的爱国者并不是那些有者任何特权的人所争取来的,他们给我们这样的合众国,给我们一个大家共同作决定的政府,他们相信每一代人都建立在我们祖辈所建立的国家基础之上,200多年来,通过流血、战争,我们这样的国家建立在争取人们自由原则基础上,我们实现了重生,而且准备好向前进。
现代的民主国家需要我们建立强大的基础设施,建立强大的学校,培训我的工人,自由的市场,必须保证公平的竞争才能够得以繁荣发展。
作为一个整体,我们的国家必须保护弱者,保护我们的国民免受灾难。
我们从没有像现在这样凝聚我们的力量,我们也不会屈服于任何挑战,政府不可能单独完成这样的任务,我们要依赖我们的企业、依赖我们勤奋的人民,这是我们性格的根源。
我们一直以来都知道时代转变的时候,我们必须与时俱进,我们需要承担新的责任,应对新的挑战,为了保证个人的自由,我们必须要共同行动,对于美国人来说,他们不可能单独行动,以保护他们的自由,就好像我们的士兵不能单独行动一样,没有一个单独的人可以培训美国的科学家,可以保证美国孩子们的未来,不可能把我们的工作保护在我们的国土内,这不是一个人能够做到的事情,我们必须作为一个国家、作为一个整体、作为一个民族共同实现这些目标。
这一代美国人受到了很多危机的挑战,而展现出他们强硬的意志,我们已经结束了持续十年的战争,经济的复苏正在开始,美国的前景是前所未有的,因为我们证实我们的年轻人,我们有多元的文化,我们有着强大的能力应对风险、应对挑战,我的美国人们,我们将会迎接挑战,只要我们共同面对挑战,我们就能够应对这些挑战。
奥巴马演讲稿中文翻译北京时刻1月22日凌晨,贝拉克侯赛因奥巴马宣誓就职第四十四任美利坚合众国总统并发表就职演说。
奥巴马在演讲中追溯美国民主传统和宪法精神,强调了民众的力量。
演讲中涉及了包括就业、医保、移民和同性恋等多项议题,以下为奥巴马就职演说全文:MR. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much. Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:谢谢,超级感激大伙儿。
拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊重的列位佳宾、亲爱的公民们。
Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional what makes us American is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:每一次咱们集会庆贺总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。
咱们都是在确信美国民主的许诺。
咱们重申,将那个国家紧密联系在一路的不是咱们的肤色,也不是咱们信仰的教条,更不是咱们名字的来源。
2009年1月20日,奥巴马在美国首都华盛顿国会山前宣誓就任第44任美国总统,成为美国历史上首位非洲裔总统。
以下是就职演讲全文:亲爱的同胞们:今天我站在这里,为我们将面对的任重道远而慨叹。
感谢你们对我寄托的信任,同时缅怀我们的前人所做出的牺牲。
感谢布什总统为美国做出的贡献,以及他在总统任期交迭过程中的慷慨合作。
至此,共有四十四位美国人曾进行过总统宣誓。
这一誓言曾在国家和平、欣欣向荣时做出过。
然而这一誓词更曾在乌云笼罩和风暴袭来之时被宣读。
美国人民之所以能够走过那些艰难的时刻,不仅仅是因为领袖的能力或远见;更是因为我们,我们人民,保持着对先人理想的忠诚,对我们国家创始文件的追随。
对于我们这一代美国人来说,也是这样,也必须这样。
国家正面临危机,这一点大家已经没有疑问。
美国处在战争之中,面对一个有巨大影响力、充满暴力和仇恨的网络。
我们的经济严重衰退。
这来源于部分人的贪婪和不负责任,更由于作为一个整体,我们未能做出面对一个新时代的艰难决策。
人民失去房屋、工作机会减少、商业活动遭到破坏。
医疗保障过于昂贵,学校教育系统出现太多失败。
而我们对能源的使用,日益让对手强大,与此同时又威胁着我们的星球。
这些,是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。
还有难以度量但同样深远的问题,那就是整个国家信心的缺失。
那萦绕在我们头上的恐惧,认为美国的衰败不可避免,认为我们的下一代人不可能再有太高的期望。
今天我要对你们说,我们面临的挑战是真切的、严重的,而且有很多重。
解决他们不可能很轻松,也不可能在短时间内发生。
但美国人民,请记住这一点:这些挑战会被解决。
今天,我们聚集在一起,因为我们选择了希望而不是恐惧;我们选择了为共同的目标团结在一起,而不是冲突与争执。
今天,我们共同终结那些虚假的承诺、陈腐的教条、以及指摘与怨言。
这些已经困扰了我们的政治体系太长时间。
我们的国家仍旧年轻,但借用圣经中的话,该是抛开那些孩子气的时候了。
现在,需要重新拿出我们的坚韧精神,选择自己的历史。

奥巴马就职演说演讲稿尊敬的各位嘉宾、尊敬的各位观众:大家好!首先,我要衷心感谢你们出席今天的庆典活动。
今天,我站在这里,迎接第44任美国总统的宝座,我感到无比荣幸,同时也深感责任重大。
我说话可能有点啰嗦,请大家见谅。
(首席消息指示:在此处应加入“演讲者的姓名”。
)今天,我站在这里发表演讲,不仅代表我自己个人,更代表着全体美国人民。
在过去的几个月里,我们经历了辛苦的竞选,经历了激烈的选战,但我们的目标始终如一,那就是为美国人民谋福祉,为我们的国家带来更美好的未来。
在我就职之前,我们要对已经离任的第43任总统表示由衷的感谢。
乔治·W·布什总统在他的任期内,秉持着改革、自由和国家安全的原则,为美国的繁荣做出了巨大的贡献。
我要对他过去8年的领导表示敬意,并承诺我将继续推动我们共同的目标。
今天,我站在这里,我们面临着巨大的挑战。
全球金融危机的影响依然存在,失业率居高不下,世界各地的战争和冲突使人民生活在苦楚之中。
然而,我们不能因此沮丧。
相反,我们应该以乐观和自信的态度去面对这些困难。
在我的领导下,我相信我们可以实现真正的变革和发展。
首先,我们将加大力度改革我们的经济体系,推动就业机会的增加,提高人民的生活水平。
我们将制定一系列的政策措施,鼓励企业创新和投资,为消费者提供更多的选择和机会。
此外,我们也将致力于改善全球关系。
我们将继续支持联合国的工作,推动各国之间的合作与理解。
我们将积极参与全球事务,为维护世界和平与安全做出我们应有的贡献。
一个国家的强大不仅在于军事力量和经济实力,更在于其人民的奋斗和智慧。
作为总统,我将全力以赴地为每一个美国人民争取他们应有的权益和利益。
我将推动各项政策的制定和实施,确保社会的公平与正义。
最后,我要向全世界宣告,美国是一个充满希望和机遇的国家,而我将引领美国走向更加辉煌的未来。
我相信,只要我们齐心协力,共同努力,我们一定能够创造一个更加繁荣、和谐的社会。
让我们携起手来,共同书写这个国家新的篇章。
First Inaugural Addressby Barack ObamaToday I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America—they will be met. 今天,我告诉大家,我们面临的挑战真实存在,并且严重而且多种多样。
它们不可能在一个短时间内被轻易征服。
但是,美国,请记住这句话——它们将被征服。
1. span [spæn] n.一段时间On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.我们今天聚集在这里是因为我们选择希望而不是恐惧,选择齐心协力而不是冲突对立。
2. discord ['d?sk?rd] n.冲突On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.我们今天在这里宣告,让斤斤计较与虚假承诺就此结束,让窒息我国政治为时太久的相互指责和陈词滥调就此完结。
3. proclaim [pr?'klem] v.宣告,宣布4. petty ['p?t?] a.心胸狭窄的5. grievance ['griv?ns] n.不满,抱怨(grieve vt.使悲伤,使苦恼)6. recrimination [r?,kr?m?'ne??n] n.反责7. worn out a.陈腐的8. dogma ['d?gm?] n.教条9. strangle ['stræ?gl] vt.使窒息We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit;to choose our better history;to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation:the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.我们仍是一个年轻的国家,但用《圣经》的话说,现在是抛弃幼稚的时候了。
奥巴马就职演说全文北京时间1月22日凌晨,贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马宣誓就职第四十四任美利坚合众国总统并发表就职演说。
奥巴马在演讲中追溯美国民主传统和宪法精神,强调了民众的力量。
演讲中涉及了包括就业、医保、移民和同性恋等多项议题,以下为奥巴马就职演说全文:谢谢,非常感谢大家。
拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。
每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。
我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。
我们重申,将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们的肤色,也不是我们信仰的教条,更不是我们名字的来源。
让我们与众不同,让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。
200多年前,这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述:“我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的,人人生而平等。
造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,包括生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。
”今天,我们继续着这一未竟的征程,架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。
因为历史告诉我们,即便这些真理是不言而喻的,它们也从来不会自动生效。
因为虽然自由是上帝赋予的礼物,但仍需要世间的子民去捍卫。
1776年,美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王的暴政而战,也不是为赢得少数人的特权,建立暴民的统治。
先驱们留给我们一个共和国,一个民有、民治、民享的政府。
他们委托每一代美国人捍卫我们的建国信条。
在过去的200多年里,我们做到了。
从奴役的血腥枷锁和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了,建立在自由与平等原则之上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由的状态。
我们赢得了新生,誓言共同前进。
我们共同努力,建立起现代的经济体系。
架设铁路与高速公路,加速了旅行和商业交流。
建立学校与大学,培训我们的工人。
我们一起发现,自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。
我们共同决定让这个伟大的国家远离危险,保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸的侵扰。
一路走来,我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。
我们同样不屈服于这一谎言:一切的社会弊端都能够只靠政府来解决。
第44任美国总统奥巴马就职演说(中英全文)[ 2009-01-21 09:12:57 |亲爱的公民同胞们:今天我站在这里,面对眼前的任务,深感卑微。
感谢你们给予我的信任,我也清楚前辈们为这个国家所作的牺牲。
我要感谢布什总统对国家的服务,感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给予的慷慨协作。
时至今日,已有44位美国总统宣誓就职。
总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣,有时面临的是狂风骤雨的紧张形势。
在这种时刻,支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见,更是美国人民对先驱者理想的坚定信仰,以及对美国建国宣言的忠诚。
过去是这样,我们这一代美国人也要如此。
我们都很清楚,我们正处于危机之中。
我们的国家正在对触角广泛的暴力和仇恨网络宣战。
国家的经济也受到了严重的削弱,这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果,但在做出艰难选择和准备迎接新时代方面,我们出现了集体性的失误。
家园失去了;工作丢掉了;商业萧条了。
我们的医疗卫生耗资巨大;我们的学校让许多人失望;每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大,并且威胁到了我们整个星球。
这些,是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。
而更难以衡量但同样意义深远的是美国人自信心的丧失──现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免,我们的下一代必须降低期待的恐惧正在吞噬着我们的自信。
今天我要向你们说的是,我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。
这些挑战很多,也很严重,它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就得以克服。
但记住这一点:美国终将渡过难关。
今天,我们聚集在这里,是因为我们选择了希望而不是恐惧,团结而不是冲突与争执。
今天,我们在这里宣布要为无谓的抱怨、不实的承诺和指责画上句号,我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的陈旧教条。
我们仍是一个年轻的国家,但借用《圣经》的话说,摒弃幼稚的时代已经来临。
是时候重树我们坚韧的精神;选择我们更好的历史;弘扬那些珍贵的天赋和高尚的理念,并代代传承下去,即上帝赋予的信念:天下众生皆平等,众生皆自由,且均应有追求最大幸福的机会。
美国第44任总统奥巴马就职演说全文各位读友大家好,此文档由网络收集而来,欢迎您下载,谢谢各位同胞:今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。
我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务,也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。
四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言,这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表,或是在乌云密布,时局动荡之时。
在艰困的时候,美国能箕裘相继,不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景,也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心,也忠於创建我国的法统。
因此,美国才能承继下来。
因此,这一代美国人也必须承继下去。
现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心,我国正在与四处蔓延的暴力和憎恨作战。
我们的经济元气大伤——这既是某些人贪婪且不负责任的後果,也是大众未能做出艰难的选择,对国家进入新时代做准备不足所致。
思想汇报专题许多人失去房子,丢了工作,生意萧条。
我们的医疗太昂贵,学校教育让人失望。
每天都有更多证据显示,我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌,威胁我们的星球。
这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。
比较无法测量但同样深沉的,是举国信心尽失——持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退,也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。
今天我要告诉各位,我们面临的挑战是真的,挑战非常严重,且不在少数。
它们不是可以轻易,或在短时间内解决。
但是,美国要了解,这些挑战会被解决。
在这一天,我们聚在一起,因为我们选择希望而非恐惧,有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。
在这一天,我们来此宣示,那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结,那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。
我们仍是个年轻的国家,但借用圣经的话,摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了,重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了,选择我们更好的历史,实践那种代代传承的珍贵权利,那种高贵的理念:就是上帝的应许,我们每个人都是平等的,每个人都是自由的,每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。
再次肯定我们国家的伟大,我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来,必须努力达成。
美国东部时间1月20日中午12时左右,美国第44任总统贝拉克-奥巴马发表就职演说,全文如下:各位同胞:今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。

奥巴马就职演讲全文中英文版090121第一篇:奥巴马就职演讲全文中英文版 090121奥巴马就职演说全文(英文版)Barack Obama’s Inaugural AddressMy fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace.Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms.At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.So it has been.So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood.Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.Homes have been lost;jobs shed;businesses shuttered.Our health care is too costly;our schools fail too many;and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics.Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our landthey will be met.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope overfear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit;to choose our 1 better history;to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.It must be earned.Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less.It has not been the path for the faint-heartedsome celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West;endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg;Normandy and Khe Sanh.Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life.They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions;greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.This is the journey we continue today.We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth.Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began.Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year.Our capacity remainsundiminished.But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisionsnot only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost.We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.All this we can do.And all this we will do.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitionsthat the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it worksto spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of dayand that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous.The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity;on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing hearteven greater cooperation and understanding between nations.We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan.With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet.We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you 3 now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken;you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not aweakness.We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindusknow that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history;but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow;to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds.And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders;nor can w e consume the world’s resources without regard to effect.For the world has changed, and we must change with it.As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains.They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages.We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service;a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves.And yet, at this momentit is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies.It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the

美国第44届总统奥巴马就职演说词全文按语:美国总统奥巴马1961年8月4日出生于夏威夷。
父亲是肯尼亚一名黑人经济学家,母亲是美国一名白人女教师。
父母在奥巴马两岁的时候分手,在听说父亲1982年在肯尼亚死于车祸前,奥巴马只见过父亲一次,奥巴马跟着母亲和姥姥姥爷长大。
奥巴马的就职演说注定要载入史册:第一位黑人总统——实现了马丁·路德·金的梦想;美国正经历着1929年以来最严重的经济危机,美国人民,甚至全世界,都拭目以待!同胞们:今天,我站在这里,真是诚惶诚恐,因为摆在我们面前的任务十分艰巨。
对我的信任,我很感激,我更不敢忘记我们的祖先所付出的牺牲。
我还要感谢布什总统为我们这个国家所作出的贡献,还有他在总统权力交接过程中所表现出的大度与合作精神。
迄今为止,已有四十四名美国人在这里宣誓就任总统。
在经济发展潮起潮涌的繁荣时期,在风平浪静的和平时期,这样的宣誓,我们有过;然而,好些时候,总统的宣誓却是在风起云涌的历史关头进行的。
每到这样的历史关头,美国都坚强地走过来了。
我们所仰仗的,并不是身处高位者的政治技巧或远见卓识,而是我们美国人民一直都没有忘记先辈们的崇高理想,是人民对我们立国之本的信赖。
是的,我们的誓言历来如此。
是的,我们这一代美国人,还将继续谨守这一伟大誓言。
大家都很清楚,我们正处于经济危机之中。
我们的国家正在为反抗暴力与仇恨而战,我们的斗争,任重而道远。
我们的经济严重衰退,之所以如此,既有贪婪和缺乏责任心的原因,也有集体错误的原因。
这些错误,是我们在不得不作出艰难抉择的时候,在为使我国进入新的发展阶段而奋斗的过程中产生的。
住房没了,工作丢了,生意停了。
我们的医疗费用太高了,我们的学校很多也不行了。
我们还能明显看到,我们的能源消耗方式只能让我们雪上加霜,对我们这个星球也造成了很大威胁。
所有这些,都是经济危机的反映,这些还是有资料,也有数据来佐证的。
还有一些方面,则难以用数字来说明问题,但其严重性却同样不可忽视,那就是整个国家的自信心还在不断削弱——大家都在暗自担心,美国的下滑是不可避免的,下一代人的眼界必须得降低。

Barack Obama takes the Oath of Office as the 44th President of the United States as he is sworn in by US Chief Justice John Roberts with his wife Michelle by his side during the inauguration ceremony in Washington, January 20, 2009. Obama became the first African-American president in US history.OBAMA: My f ellow citizens:I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents.So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land, a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America, they will be met.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted -- for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act, not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions, who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them, that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works, whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs willend. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account, to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day, because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control, and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart, not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort, even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. Theyhave something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages.We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment, a moment that will define a generation, it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It 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 hours. It 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 fate.Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends -- hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -- these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility, a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.This is the price and the promise of citizenship.This is the source of our confidence, the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed, why men 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 oath.So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In 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 river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome 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 common danger, came forth to meet (it)."America, in the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let 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; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.美国当地时间1月20日上午12点05分(北京时间21日凌晨1点05分),第44届美国总统奥巴马发表了就职演说。
