布什19号到美国国家档案馆参观,观看美国⽴国的三部最重要⽂件:〈独⽴宣⾔〉,〈美国宪法〉,和〈公民权利法案〉。
他还特别查阅了美国第⼀任总统华盛顿当年发表的就职演讲。
在第⼀任期即将结束,第⼆任期即将开始的时候,布什说他绝对能够体会到这⼀时刻的历史感。
记者:“你是否正在体会这⼀时刻在历史中的位置?”
布什:“绝对的。
”
布什的⾼级顾问罗夫表⽰,在就职前⼣反思美国的⽴国经过,参观档案馆可能成为布什之后其它总统的新传统。
尽管民调显⽰美国民众对布什的反对率达到历史之最,罗夫说布什仍然对第⼆任期⾮常乐观。
⽩宫发⾔⼈麦克莱伦说,布什在就职演说中将强调美国⽬前所处的特殊历史机遇期。
麦克莱伦说,“总统在(就职)演说中将谈到我们⽣活的这个历史性的时代。
他还将谈到在他⼼⽬中充满希望的美国和世界。
他的演说将是针对美国⼈民和全世界的。
”
他说,就职演说的主旨将包括在世界各地传播民主和⾃由,凭借美国的强⼤影响⼒推⼴和平,保护美国的利益。
据透露,就职演说的长度为17分钟。
由于天⽓的原因,布什将不会按照传统,⽤当年华盛顿就职时使⽤的〈圣经〉宣誓就职,⽽是使⽤他⽗亲⽼布什当年就职使⽤的〈圣经〉。
布什周三在⽩宫设宴招待146名前来贺喜的家庭成员。
他还参加了主要共和党赞助商举办的晚会。
9·11恐怖袭击周年纪念日,当地时间9月11日晚上21:01(北京时间12日早上9:01,以静静肃立的自由女神像为背景,美国总统布什在纽约爱丽思岛向全国发表讲话发誓:美国不会被袭击摧垮。
President: Good evening. A long year has passed since enemies attacked our country. We've seen the images so many times they are seared on our souls, and remembering the horror, reliving the anguish, re-imagining the terror, is hard — and painful.For those who lost loved ones, it's been a year of sorrow, of empty places, of newborn children who will never know their fathers here on earth. For members of our military, it's been a year of sacrifice, and service far from home. For all Americans, it has been a year of adjustment — of coming to terms with the difficult knowledge that our nation has determined enemies, and that we are not invulnerable to their attacks.Yet in the events that have challenged us, we've also seen the character that will deliver us. We've seen the greatness of America in airline passengers who defied their hijackers and ran a plane into the ground to spare the lives of others. We've seen the greatness of America in rescuers who rushed up flights of stairs toward peril. And we continue to see the greatness of America in the care and compassion our citizens show to each other.September the 11th, 2001, will always be a fixed point in the life of America. The loss of so many lives left us to examine our own. Each of us was reminded that we are here only for a time, and these counted days should be filled with things that last and matter: love for our families, love for our neighbors, and for our country; gratitude for life and to the giver of life. We resolved a year ago to honor every last person lost. We owe them remembrance, and we owe them more. We owe them, and their children, and our own, the most enduring monument we can build: a world of liberty and security made possible by the way America leads, and by the way Americans lead our lives.The attack on our nation was also attack on the ideals that make us a nation. Our deepest national conviction is that every life is precious, because every life is the gift of a creator who intended us to live in liberty and equality.More than anything else, this separates us from the enemy we fight. We value every life; our enemies value none — not even the innocent; not even their own. And we seek the freedom and opportunity that give meaning and value to life.There is a line in our time, and in every time, between those who believe that all men are created equal, and those who believe that some men, and women,and children, are expendable in the pursuit of power. There is a line in our time, and in every time, between the defenders of human liberty and those who seek to master the minds and souls of others. Our generation has now heard history's call, and we will answer it.America has entered a great struggle that tests our strength, and even more our resolve. Our nation is patient and steadfast坚定的; 不动摇的; 固定不动的. We continue to pursue the terrorists in cities, and camps, and caves across the earth. We are joined by a great coalition of nations to rid the world of terror. And we will not allow any terrorist or tyrant to threaten civilization with weapons of mass murder. Now and in the future, Americans will live as free people, not in fear, and never at the mercy of any foreign plot or power.This nation has defeated tyrants and liberated death camps, raised this lampof liberty to every captive land. We have no intention of ignoring or appeasing history's latest gang of fanatics trying to murder their way to power. They are discovering, as others before them, the resolve of a great country and a great democracy. In the ruins of two towers, under a flag unfurled展开, 张开, 铺开at the Pentagon at the funerals of the lost, we have made a sacred promise, to ourselves and to the world: We will not relent until justice is done and our nation is secure. What our enemies have begun, we will finish.I believe there is a reason that history has matched this nation with this time. America strives to be tolerant and just. We respect the faith of Islam, even as we fight those whose actions defile that faith. We fight, not to impose our will, but to defend ourselves and extend the blessings of freedom.We cannot know all that lies ahead. Yet we do know that God has placed us together in this moment, to grieve together, to stand together, to serve each other and our country. And the duty we have been given — defending America and our freedom — is also a privilege we share.We're prepared for this journey. And our prayer tonight is that God will see us through, and keep us worthy.Tomorrow is September the 12th. A milestone is passed, and a mission goes on. Be confident. Our country is strong. And our cause is even larger than our country. Ours is the cause of human dignity: freedom guided by conscience, and guarded by peace. This ideal of America is the hope of all mankind. That hope drew millions to this harbor. That hope still lights our way. And the light shines in the darkness. And the darkness will not overcome it.May God bless America.。

概况“9.11事件”(又称“911”、“美国911事件”等)指的是2001年9月11日恐怖分子劫持的飞机撞击美国纽约世贸中心和华盛顿五角大楼的历史事件。
2001年9月11日,四架民航客机在美国的上空飞翔,然而这四架飞机却被劫机犯无声无息地劫持。
当美国人刚刚准备开始一天的工作之时,纽约世贸中心,连续发生撞机事件,世贸中心的摩天大楼,轰然倒塌,化为一片废墟,造成了3000多人丧生。
过程8:45 :波音767-B-223ER在飞离波士顿洛根国际机场不久后就被劫持,撞毁在世贸中心北楼,大楼随后坍塌。
机上人员:92,遇难: 92。
9:03:波音B-767-222同样地在飞离波士顿洛根国际机场不久后就被劫持,撞毁在世贸中心南楼,大楼随后坍塌。
机上人员:65,遇难: 65。
9:45 :波音757-223飞离杜勒斯国际机场后不久被劫持,随后撞向五角大楼一角。
机上人员:64,遇难: 64。
10:20:波音B-757-222飞离纽华克国际机场后不久被劫持,直向华盛顿飞去。
随后高速坠毁在宾夕法尼亚乡间,据猜测是乘客与劫机者搏斗阻止了这架飞机撞向目标。
机上人员:45,遇难: 45。
整个美国都为之震惊,人们陷入了极度恐慌之中引起了全世界的震惊,这是美国历史上遭遇的最为严重的灾难之一。
影响1、〖对美国〗“美国911事件”发生后,美国经济一度处于瘫痪状态,对一些产业造成了直接经济损失和影响。
地处纽约曼哈顿岛的世界贸易中心是20世纪70年代初建起来的摩天大楼,造价高达11亿美元,是世界商业力量的会聚之地,来自世界各地的企业共计1200家之多,平时有5万人上班,每天来往办事的业务人员和游客约有15万人。
两座直冲云霄的大楼一下子化为乌有,五角大楼的修复工作至少在几亿美元之上,人才损失难以用数字估量。
而且交通运输和旅游业造成严重损失。
美国国内航班一天被劫持了四架,并造成巨大的人员伤亡和财产损失,确实是历史罕见。
无论对美国总统布什,对美国民众或者对美国政坛人士来说,9月11日所遭遇的恐怖分子攻击事件都是一次历史性的震撼。
Bush’s speech on 911 attack"Good evening.Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors.Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.And no one will keep that light from shining.Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared.Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.The search is under way for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible andbring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me."This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.Thank you. Good night and God bless America."。
President Radio Addresses on the Third 9/11AnniversaryGood morning. This is a day of remembrance for our country. And I am honored to be joined at the White House today by Americans who lost so much in the terrible events of September the 11th, 2001, and have felt that loss every day since. 早上好。
Three years ago, the struggle of good against evil was compressed into a single morning. In the space of only 102 minutes, our country lost more citizens than were lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Time has passed, but the memories do not fade. We remember the images of fire, and the final calls of love, and the courage of rescuers who saw death and did not flee.We remember the cruelty of enemies who murdered the innocent, and rejoiced in our suffering. We remember the many good lives that ended too soon -- which no one had the right to take.And our nation remembers the families left behind to carry a burden of sorrow. They have shown courage of their own. And with the help of God's grace, and with support from one another, the families of terror victims have shown a strength that survives all hurt. Each of them remains in the thoughts and prayers of the American people.The terrorist attacks on September the 11th were a turning point for our nation. We saw the goals of a determined enemy: to expand the scale of their murder, and force America to retreat from the world. And our nation accepted a mission: We will defeat this enemy. The United States of America is determined to guard our homeland against future attacks. As the September the 11th Commission concluded, our country is safer than we were three years ago, but we are not yet safe.So every day, many thousands of dedicated men and women are on duty -- as air marshals, airport screeners, cargo inspectors, border patrol officers, and first responders. At the same time, Americans serving in the FBI and CIA are performing their daily work with professionalism, while we reform those agencies to see the dangers around the next corner. Our country is grateful to all our fellow citizens who watch for the enemy, and answer the alarms, and guard America by their vigilance.The United States is determined to stay on the offensive, and to pursue the terrorists wherever they train, or sleep, or attempt to set down roots. We have conducted this campaign from the mountains of Afghanistan, to the heart of the Middle East, to the horn of Africa, to the islands of the Philippines, to hidden cells within our own country.More than three-quarters of all Qaeda's key members and associates have been detained or killed. We know that there is still a danger to America. So we will not relent until the terrorists who plot murder against our people are found and dealt with. The United States is also determined to advance democracy in the broader Middle East, because freedom will bring the peace and security we all want. Whenthe peoples of that region are given new hope and lives of dignity, they will let go of old hatreds and resentments, and the terrorists will find fewer recruits. And as governments of that region join in the fight against terror instead of harboring terrorists, America and the world will be more secure. Our present work in Iraq and Afghanistan is difficult. It is also historic and essential.By our commitment and sacrifice today, we will help transform the Middle East, and increase the safety of our children and grandchildren.Since September the 11th, the sacrifices in the war on terror have fallen most heavily on members of our military, and their families. Our nation is grateful to the brave men and women who are taking risks on our behalf at this hour. And America will never forget the ones who have fallen -- men and women last seen doing their duty, whose names we will honor forever. The war on terror goes on. The resolve of our nation is still being tested. And in the face of danger we are showing our character. Three years after the attack on our country, Americans remain strong and resolute, patient in a just cause, and confident of the victory to come.Thank you for listening.。

乔治布什9.11演讲“晚上好,今天,我们的同胞、我们的生活及我们珍视的自由受到了恐怖主义分子的蓄意攻击。
许多被劫持的乘客、正在办公的工作人员都不幸遇难,他们可能是:秘书文员、商人、妇女、军方或联邦政府工作人员、为人父母、你们的亲朋好友或邻居。
数千人在恐怖分子的卑劣和罪恶行径下突然间失掉了宝贵的生命。
面对飞机撞毁、熊熊大火、楼房倒塌等图片,我们无法相信眼前的惨状,感到无比的悲哀和愤怒。
恐怖分子的大范围屠戮行为旨在将我们的国家引向混乱和倒退。
但他们的阴谋不会得逞。
我们的国家依然强大。
伟大的美国人民已被动员起来保卫自己的国家。
恐怖主义分子的袭击可以震撼我们的建筑,但他们无法动摇我们牢固的国家基础。
这些行径可以粉碎钢铁,但它们无法挫伤美国人民捍卫国家的决心。
美国之所以成为攻击的目标,是因为我们的自由和机遇之灯塔是世界上最明亮、最耀眼的。
没有人能阻止这种自由之光。
今天,我们见识了人性中最肮脏的灵魂,而我们以美国人的善良回应罪恶,我们的救援人员表现出了大无畏精神、人们纷纷为陌生人及邻里贡献鲜血及爱心。
在首次遭受袭击后,我下令实施了政府紧急救援计划。
我们的强大的军队随时准备投入战斗。
紧急行动小组正在纽约市和华府协助地方力量实施求援。
我们的第一要务是抢救受伤人员,并保护国内及全世界的美国人不再受到伤害。
美国政府的政务仍在正常进行,今天被迫撤出华府的联邦各部门中的重要机构今晚已恢复办公,所有部门均将于明天恢复办公。
政府的经济机构仍强大有力,美国各经济部门也将正常办公。
调查此次邪恶事件元凶的工作正在进行。
我已下令美国所有的情报机构和警察机构全力找出肇事元凶,并将其绳之以法。
胆敢包庇肇事恐怖分子的人也会被我们视为恐怖分子。
我向内阁中与我一道强烈声讨此次恐怖事件的成员表示感谢,也代表美国人民向表示哀悼并给予我们帮助的其他国家的领导人表示感谢。
美国、我们的盟国与友邦和全世界所有热爱和平的人将并肩战斗,与恐怖主义活动作斗争。
小布什就职演说中英文乔治·沃克·布什,是美国第43任总统(第54-55届)。
那么你想知道美国总统小布什在就职时是怎么发言的?以下是给大家分享了美国总统小布什就职演说中英文,希望大家有帮助。
美国总统小布什就职演说中文尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官,卡特总统,布什总统,克林顿总统,尊敬的来宾们,我的同胞们,这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的,但在美国是平常的。
我们以朴素的宣誓庄严地维护了古老的传统,同时开始了新的历程。
首先,我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家作出的贡献,也感谢副总统戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与风度。
站在这里,我很荣幸,也有点受宠若惊。
在我之前,许多美国领导人从这里起步;在我之后,也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。
在美国悠久的历史中,我们每个人都有自己的位置;我们还在继续推动着历史前进,但是我们不可能看到它的尽头。
这是一部新世界的发展史,是一部后浪推前浪的历史。
这是一部美国由奴隶制社会发展成为崇尚自由的社会的历史。
这是一个强国保护而不是占有世界的历史,是捍卫而不是征服世界的历史。
这就是美国史。
它不是一部十全十美的民族发展史,但它是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的历史。
这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺,这就是:每个人都有自身的价值,每个人都有成功的机会,每个人天生都会有所作为的。
美国人民肩负着一种使命,那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。
虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退,但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。
在上个世纪的大部分时间里,美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。
现在它更像风中的种子,把自由带给每个民族。
在我们的国家,民主不仅仅是一种信念,而是全人类的希望。
民主,我们不会独占,而会竭力让大家分享。
民主,我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。
220xx年过去了,我们仍有很长的路要走。
有很多公民取得了成功,但也有人开始怀疑,怀疑我们自己的国家所许下的诺言,甚至怀疑它的公正。

Good night and God bless America.'巴顿Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. H e won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All re al Americans love the sting of battle.When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do a bout fornicating.Now, we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know, by God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards. We're going to cut out their liv ing guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lou sy Hun bastards by the bushel.Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken-out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll k now what to do.Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages s aying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything -- except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose, and we're gonna kick him in the as s. We're gonna kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're gonna go through him lik e crap through a goose!Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home -- an d you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your firesi de with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War Two?" -- you won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled **** in Louisiana."Alright now you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel.Oh, I will be proud to lead you wonderful guysinto battle anytime,anywhere.。
