奥巴马就职演说精彩语录2009年01月31日 13:56:41 作者： 脑图忆培优 美国当选总统、民主党人奥巴马1月20日在美国国会大厦西侧的露天平台上正式宣誓就任美国第44任总统。宣誓就职后，奥巴马发表就职演说。演说中，奥巴马呼吁全体美国民众端正心态，努力提高公民责任感，为振兴国家贡献自己的力量。以下是就职演说的精彩语录。关于布什我感谢布什总统为我们国家作出的服务，感谢他在过渡期间所展示的慷慨与合作。I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.关于困境我们都明白我们现在处于危机当中。我们的国家处于战争状态，与一个影响深远的、暴力与仇恨的网络作战。我们的经济遭到严重削弱，这是部分人贪婪和不负责任的后果，但也因为我们作为一个集体没能作出艰难选择，没能为新时代作好准备。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.关于经济从今天开始，我们必须从跌倒中起来，拍拍灰尘，再次开始重塑美国。Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动，我们的确是要行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为（下一轮经济）增长打下新的基础。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.市场创造财富、拓展自由的能力无可匹敌，但是这场危机提醒我们，如果没有监管，市场很可能就会失去控制，而且偏袒富人国家的繁荣无法持久。国家经济的成败不仅仅取决于国内生产总值的大小，而且取决于繁荣的覆盖面，取决于我们是否有能力让所有有意愿的人都有机会走向富裕。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.关于外交我想对正在观看这一仪式的其他国家的人民和政府说，不论他们现在各国伟大的首府还是在如同我父亲出生地一般的小村落，我想让他们知道：对于每个追求和平和自尊的国家和个人而言，美国都是朋友，我们愿意再次领导大家踏上追寻之旅。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.我们将以负责任的态度，将伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民，同时巩固阿富汗来之不易的和平。对于老朋友和老对手，我们将继续努力，不遗余力，削弱核威胁，遏制全球变暖的幽灵。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.关于安全对于那些企图通过恐怖主义或屠杀无辜平民达成目标的人，我们要对他们说：我们的信仰更加坚定，不可动摇，你们不可能拖垮我们，我们定将战胜你们。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.关于美国精神我们面临的挑战也许是新的，我们应对挑战的措施也许也是新的，但那些长期以来指导我们成功的价值观勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心，还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义却是历久弥新，这些价值观是可靠的。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.
