美国历届总统就职演讲（中英文对照）

第44总统奥巴马发表职演说
My fellow citizens
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
天站里眼前面重务深感卑微感谢信知道先辈国家作牺牲感谢布什总统国家做出贡献感谢两届政府渡期间慷慨协作

Fortyfour 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
迄止已44美国总统宣誓职总统宣誓时面国家繁荣通常面乌云密布紧张形势紧张形势中支持美国前进仅仅领导力远见美国民国家先驱者理想信仰美国立国文件忠诚

So it has been So it must be with this generation of Americans
前辈代美国

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood Our nation is at war against a farreaching 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 healthcare 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
统计数指标传达着危机消息危机难测量更难测量美国国家信侵蚀现种认美国衰落避免代必须低调言正吞噬着信

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
天说确面着严峻挑战短期轻易解决相信定会度难关
On this day we gather because we have chosen hope over fear unity of purpose over conflict and discord
天里齐聚堂战胜恐惧选择希摒弃突矛盾选择团结

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
天宣布谓摩擦实承诺指责画句号破牵制美国政治发展干陈旧教条

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 Godgiven promise that all are equal all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness
美国年轻国家圣话说放弃幼稚时代已重拾坚韧精神时代已历史作出更选择秉承历史赋予宝贵权利秉承种代代相传高贵理念：帝赋予等全力追求幸福机会

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 fainthearted for those who prefer leisure over work or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame Rather it has been the risktakers the doers the makers of things some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour who have carried us up the long rugged path towards prosperity and freedom
重申国家伟处时深知伟天赐予伟需努力赢（民族路走）旅途中未捷径者妥协旅途适合胆怯者爱安逸胜爱工作者单单追求名利条路勇承担风险者路实干家创造者路中名留青史更默默闻工作着正带领走漫长崎岖旅行带领走富强

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
先辈带着微薄细软横渡洋寻找新生活先辈忍辱负重血汗浇铸工厂先辈荒芜西部辛勤耕作定居乡先辈奔赴（独立战争中）康科德城葛底斯堡（二战中）诺曼底（越战中）Khe Sahn征战死

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
次次先辈战斗着牺牲着操劳着生活更美国强盛伟超越雄心超越出身贫富派差异

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 healthcare'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
现开始质疑野心太认体制承载太宏伟计划健忘已忘国家已取成已忘创造力目标必勇气结合起时美国民发挥量

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 will end 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
怀疑者错误没意识政治现实已发生变化长期耗掉太精力陈腐政治争已适天问题政府政府否起作政府否帮助家庭找薪水合适工作负担起医疗保障体面退休方案肯定答案推进方案方案答案否定选择终止掌纳税税金应承担起责合理支出摒弃陋磊落做事样政府民间重建关重相互信

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 favours 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 f 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
面问题市场坏问题市场创造财富拓展力匹敌场危机提醒果没监市场会失控制偏袒富国家繁荣法持久国家济成败仅仅取决国生产总值取决繁荣覆盖面取决否力意愿机会走富裕样做慈善确保实现利益途径

As for our common defence 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 and communism 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
回想先辈抵抗法西斯义时仅手中导弹坦克稳固联盟坚定信仰深知单力量法保护深知强足权利欲明白正谨慎实力断增强正事业公正世界树立榜样谦卑节制安全

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 hardearned 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 apologise for our way of life nor will we waver in its defence 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 nonbelievers 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

To the Muslim world we seek a new way forward based on mutual interest and mutual respect To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict or blame their society's ills on the west know 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
穆斯林世界基利益信仰寻找更合作路世界方挑起突味批评西方良影响领导者：民评判建立什破坏什腐败欺骗压制异议追求权利：站类历史立面果张开紧握拳头伸出友谊手

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 we consume the world's resources without regard to effect For the world has changed and we must change with it
贫穷保证起建设繁茂农场干净水源滋养饥寒交迫身体心灵样相富裕国家外界苦难漠关心更继续肆索取世界资源世界必须改变必须改变

As we consider the road that unfolds before us we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who at this very hour patrol faroff 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 honour 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
审视前方道路时会感激跨越千山万水里天话说安息阿林顿国家公墓里先烈时刻提醒尊敬仅捍卫更正奉献精神化身致力寻找远高身生命真谛时特殊时代更需种精神长存

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
面挑战许新应挑战措施许新长期指导成功价值观勤奋诚实勇气公竞争包容世界保持奇心国家忠诚爱国义历久弥新价值观创造美国历史声力量现需回古老价值观需新负责时代觉醒时代国应意识国家世界负责应该情愿接受责应该快乐承担起责应该坚定认识没什全身心投入项艰巨工作更锻炼性格更获精神满足

This is the price and the promise of citizenship
公民应义务应做出承诺

This is the source of our confidence the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny
信源帝信仰帝号召掌握命运

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
信仰意义种族信仰性年龄聚堂欢庆原天站里庄严宣誓原50年前父亲甚成方餐馆服务生

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
铭记身份镌刻足迹美国诞生时代寒冷岁月里群勇敢爱国士围着篝火冰封河边取暖首占领敌挺进冬天雪鲜血染成红色美国革命受质疑时刻国父样说：

Let it be told to the future worldthat in the depth of winter when nothing but hope and virtue could survivethat the city and the country alarmed at one common danger came forth to meet [it]
未世界知道……深冬严寒里唯希勇气存活……面危险时城市国家勇敢前面

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
天美国严峻寒冬中面挑战记住国父朽语言带着希勇气次勇敢面寒流迎接会发生风暴子孙代记住面挑战时候没屈服没逃避没犹豫脚踏实心怀信仰秉承宝贵权利安全交代手中























2001年美国总统布什职演说
Inaugural Address of George W Bush

　　January 20 2001

　　President Clinton distinguished guests and my fellow citizens

　　The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history yet common in our country With a simple oath we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings

　　As I begin I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation and I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace

　　I am honored and humbled to stand here where so many of America's leaders have come before me and so many will follow

　　We have a place all of us in a long story A story we continue but whose end we will not see It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old a story of a slaveholding society that became a servant of freedom the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess to defend but not to conquer It is the American story A story of flawed and fallible people united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs that everyone deserves a chance that no insignificant person was ever born Americans are called upon to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws and though our nation has sometimes halted and sometimes delayed we must follow no other course

　　Through much of the last century America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea Now it is a seed upon the wind taking root in many nations Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country it is the inborn hope of our humanity an ideal we carry but do not own a trust we bear and pass along and even after nearly 225 years we have a long way yet to travel

　　While many of our citizens prosper others doubt the promise even the justice of our own country The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth and sometimes our differences run so deep it seems we share a continent but not a country We do not accept this and we will not allow it Our unity our union is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation and this is my solemn pledge I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us equal in His image and we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward

　　America has never been united by blood or birth or soil We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens Every child must be taught these principles Every citizen must uphold them and every immigrant by embracing these ideals makes our country more not less American

　　Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility courage compassion and character America at its best matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect fair dealing and forgiveness Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because in a time of peace the stakes of our debates appear small But the stakes for America are never small If our country does not lead the cause of freedom it will not be led If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism If we permit our economy to drift and decline the vulnerable will suffer most We must live up to the calling we share Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism of community over chaos This commitment if we keep it is a way to shared accomplishment

　　America at its best is also courageous Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war when defending common dangers defined our common good Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations

　　Together we will reclaim America's schools before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives we will reform Social Security and Medicare sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent we will reduce taxes to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans we will build our defenses beyond challenge lest weakness invite challenge and we will confront weapons of mass destruction so that a new century is spared new horrors

The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice shaping a balance of power that favors freedom We will defend our allies and our interests we will show purpose without arrogance we will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength and to all nations we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth

　　America at its best is compassionate In the quiet of American conscience we know that deep persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise Whatever our views of its cause we can agree that children at risk are not at fault Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God they are failures of love The proliferation of prisons however necessary is no substitute for hope and order in our souls Where there is suffering there is duty Americans in need are not strangers they are citizens not problems but priorities and all of us are diminished when any are hopeless Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health for civil rights and common schools Yet compassion is the work of a nation not just a government Some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer Church and charity synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty but we can listen to those who do I can pledge our nation to a goal When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho we will not pass to the other side

　　America at its best is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats it is a call to conscience Though it requires sacrifice it brings a deeper fulfillment We find the fullness of life not only in options but in commitments We find that children and community are the commitments that set us free Our public interest depends on private character on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness on uncounted unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom Sometimes in life we are called to do great things But as a saint of our times has said every day we are called to do small things with great love The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone I will live and lead by these principles to advance my convictions with civility to pursue the public interest with courage to speak for greater justice and compassion to call for responsibility and try to live it as well In all of these ways I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times

　　What you do is as important as anything government does I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort to defend needed reforms against easy attacks to serve your nation beginning with your neighbor I ask you to be citizens Citizens not spectators citizens not subjects responsible citizens building communities of service and a nation of character

　　Americans are generous and strong and decent not because we believe in ourselves but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves When this spirit of citizenship is missing no government program can replace it When this spirit is present no wrong can stand against it

　　After the Declaration of Independence was signed Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration The years and changes accumulate but the themes of this day he would know our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity

　　We are not this story's author who fills time and eternity with His purpose Yet His purpose is achieved in our duty and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another Never tiring never yielding never finishing we renew that purpose today to make our country more just and generous to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life

　　This work continues This story goes on And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm

　　God bless you all and God bless America

1993年美国总统克林顿职演说
January 20 1993

　　My fellow citizens

　　Today we celebrate the mystery of American renewal

　　This ceremony is held in the depth of winter But by the words we speak and the faces we show the world we force the spring A spring reborn in the world's oldest democracy that brings forth the vision and courage to reinvent America

　　When our founders boldly declared America's independence to the world and our purposes to the Almighty they knew that America to endure would have to change Not change for change's sake but change to preserve America's ideals life liberty the pursuit of happiness Though we march to the music of our time our mission is timeless Each generation of Americans must define what it means to be an American

　　On behalf of our nation I salute my predecessor President Bush for his halfcentury of service to America And I thank the millions of men and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice triumphed over Depression fascism and Communism

　　Today a generation raised in the shadows of the Cold War assumes new responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom but threatened still by ancient hatreds and new plagues

　　Raised in unrivaled prosperity we inherit an economy that is still the world's strongest but is weakened by business failures stagnant wages increasing inequality and deep divisions among our people

　　When George Washington first took the oath I have just sworn to uphold news traveled slowly across the land by horseback and across the ocean by boat Now the sights and sounds of this ceremony are broadcast instantaneously to billions around the world

　　Communications and commerce are global investment is mobile technology is almost magical and ambition for a better life is now universal We earn our livelihood in peaceful competition with people all across the earth

　　Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world and the urgent question of our time is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy

　　This new world has already enriched the lives of millions of Americans who are able to compete and win in it But when most people are working harder for less when others cannot work at all when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to bankrupt many of our enterprises great and small when fear of crime robs lawabiding citizens of their freedom and when millions of poor children cannot even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead we have not made change our friend

　　We know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps But we have not done so Instead we have drifted and that drifting has eroded our resources fractured our economy and shaken our confidence

　　Though our challenges are fearsome so are our strengths And Americans have ever been a restless questing hopeful people We must bring to our task today the vision and will of those who came before us

　　From our revolution the Civil War to the Great Depression to the civil rights movement our people have always mustered the determination to construct from these crises the pillars of our history

　　Thomas Jefferson believed that to preserve the very foundations of our nation we would need dramatic change from time to time Well my fellow citizens this is our time Let us embrace it

　　Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America

　　And so today we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift a new season of American renewal has begun To renew America we must be bold We must do what no generation has had to do before We must invest more in our own people in their jobs in their future and at the same time cut our massive debt And we must do so in a world in which we must compete for every opportunity It will not be easy it will require sacrifice But it can be done and done fairly not choosing sacrifice for its own sake but for our own sake We must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its children

Our Founders saw themselves in the light of posterity We can do no less Anyone who has ever watched a child's eyes wander into sleep knows what posterity is Posterity is the world to come the world for whom we hold our ideals from whom we have borrowed our planet and to whom we bear sacred responsibility We must do what America does best offer more opportunity to all and demand responsibility from all

　　It is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing from our government or from each other Let us all take more responsibility not only for ourselves and our families but for our communities and our country To renew America we must revitalize our democracy

　　This beautiful capital like every capital since the dawn of civilization is often a place of intrigue and calculation Powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is in and who is out who is up and who is down forgetting those people whose toil and sweat sends us here and pays our way

　　Americans deserve better and in this city today there are people who want to do better And so I say to all of us here let us resolve to reform our politics so that power and privilege no longer shout down the voice of the people Let us put aside personal advantage so that we can feel the pain and see the promise of America Let us resolve to make our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called bold persistent experimentation a government for our tomorrows not our yesterdays Let us give this capital back to the people to whom it belongs

　　To renew America we must meet challenges abroad as well at home There is no longer division between what is foreign and what is domestic the world economy the world environment the world AIDS crisis the world arms race they affect us all

　　Today as an old order passes the new world is more free but less stable Communism's collapse has called forth old animosities and new dangers Clearly America must continue to lead the world we did so much to make

　　While America rebuilds at home we will not shrink from the challenges nor fail to seize the opportunities of this new world Together with our friends and allies we will work to shape change lest it engulf us

　　When our vital interests are challenged or the will and conscience of the international community is defied we will act with peaceful diplomacy when ever possible with force when necessary The brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf in Somalia and wherever else they stand are testament to our resolve

　　But our greatest strength is the power of our ideas which are still new in many lands Across the world we see them embraced and we rejoice Our hopes our hearts our hands are with those on every continent who are building democracy and freedom Their cause is America's cause

　　The American people have summoned the change we celebrate today You have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus You have cast your votes in historic numbers And you have changed the face of Congress the presidency and the political process itself Yes you my fellow Americans have forced the spring Now we must do the work the season demands

　　To that work I now turn with all the authority of my office I ask the Congress to join with me But no president no Congress no government can undertake this mission alone My fellow Americans you too must play your part in our renewal I challenge a new generation of young Americans to a season of service to act on your idealism by helping troubled children keeping company with those in need reconnecting our torn communities There is so much to be done enough indeed for millions of others who are still young in spirit to give of themselves in service too

　　In serving we recognize a simple but powerful truth we need each other And we must care for one another Today we do more than celebrate America we rededicate ourselves to the very idea of America

　　An idea born in revolution and renewed through two centuries of challenge An idea tempered by the knowledge that but for fate we the fortunate and the unfortunate might have been each other An idea ennobled by the faith that our nation can summon from its myriad diversity the deepest measure of unity An idea infused with the conviction that America's long heroic journey must go forever upward

　　And so my fellow Americans at the edge of the 21st century let us begin with energy and hope with faith and discipline and let us work until our work is done The scripture says And let us not be weary in welldoing for in due season we shall reap if we faint not

　　From this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in the valley We have heard the trumpets We have changed the guard And now each in our way and with God's help we must answer the call

　　Thank you and God bless you all

1981年美国总统里根职演说
First Inaugural Address of Ronald Reagan

　　TUESDAY JANUARY 20 1981

　　Senator Hatfield Mr Chief Justice Mr President Vice President Bush Vice President Mondale Senator Baker Speaker O'Neill Reverend Moomaw and my fellow citizens To a few of us here today this is a solemn and most momentous occasion and yet in the history of our Nation it is a commonplace occurrence The orderly transfer of authority as called for in the Constitution routinely takes place as it has for almost two centuries and few of us stop to think how unique we really are In the eyes of many in the world this every4year ceremony we accept as normal is nothing less than a miracle

　　Mr President I want our fellow citizens to know how much you did to carry on this tradition By your gracious cooperation in the transition process you have shown a watching world that we are a united people pledged to maintaining a political system which guarantees individual liberty to a greater degree than any other and I thank you and your people for all your help in maintaining the continuity which is the bulwark of our Republic

　　The business of our nation goes forward These United States are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions We suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history It distorts our economic decisions penalizes thrift and crushes the struggling young and the fixed income elderly alike It threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people

　　Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment causing human misery and personal indignity Those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity

　　But great as our tax burden is it has not kept pace with public spending For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present To continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social cultural political and economic upheavals

　　You and I as individuals can by borrowing live beyond our means but for only a limited period of time Why then should we think that collectively as a nation we are not bound by that same limitation

　　We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow And let there be no misunderstandingwe are going to begin to act beginning today

　　The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades They will not go away in days weeks or months but they will go away They will go away because we as Americans have the capacity now as we have had in the past to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom

　　In this present crisis government is not the solution to our problem

　　From time to time we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by selfrule that government by an elite group is superior to government for by and of the people But if no one among us is capable of governing himself then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else All of us together in and out of government must bear the burden The solutions we seek must be equitable with no one group singled out to pay a higher price

　　We hear much of special interest groups Our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions and it crosses political party lines It is made up of men and women who raise our food patrol our streets man our mines and our factories teach our children keep our homes and heal us when we are sickprofessionals industrialists shopkeepers clerks cabbies and truckdrivers They are in short We the people this breed called Americans

　　Well this administration's objective will be a healthy vigorous growing economy that provides equal opportunity for all Americans with no barriers born of bigotry or discrimination Putting America back to work means putting all Americans back to work Ending inflation means freeing all Americans from the terror of runaway living costs All must share in the productive work of this new beginning and all must share in the bounty of a revived economy With the idealism and fair play which are the core of our system and our strength we can have a strong and prosperous America at peace with itself and the world

　　So as we begin let us take inventory We are a nation that has a governmentnot the other way around And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth Our Government has no power except that granted it by the people It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed

　　It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States the States created the Federal Government

　　Now so there will be no misunderstanding it is not my intention to do away with government It is rather to make it workwork with us not over us to stand by our side not ride on our back Government can and must provide opportunity not smother it foster productivity not stifle it

　　If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much prospered as no other people on Earth it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth The price for this freedom at times has been high but we have never been unwilling to pay that price

　　It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government It is time for us to realize that we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams We are not as some would have us believe loomed to an inevitable decline I do not believe in a fate that will all on us no matter what we do I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing So with all the creative energy at our command let us begin an era of national renewal Let us renew our determination our courage and our strength And let us renew our faith and our hope

　　We have every right to dream heroic dreams Those who say that we are in a time when there are no heroes just don't know where to look You can see heroes every day going in and out of factory gates Others a handful in number produce enough food to feed all of us and then the world beyond You meet heroes across a counterand they are on both sides of that counter There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create new jobs new wealth and opportunity They are individuals and families whose taxes support the Government and whose voluntary gifts support church charity culture art and education Their patriotism is quiet but deep Their values sustain our national life

　　I have used the words they and their in speaking of these heroes I could say you and your because I am addressing the heroes of whom I speakyou the citizens of this blessed land Your dreams your hopes your goals are going to be the dreams the hopes and the goals of this administration so help me God

　　We shall reflect the compassion that is so much a part of your makeup How can we love our country and not love our countrymen and loving them reach out a hand when they fall heal them when they are sick and provide opportunities to make them self sufficient so they will be equal in fact and not just in theory

　　Can we solve the problems confronting us Well the answer is an unequivocal and emphatic yes To paraphrase Winston Churchill I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy

　　In the days ahead I will propose removing the roadblocks that have slowed our economy and reduced productivity Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government Progress may be slowmeasured in inches and feet not milesbut we will progress Is it time to reawaken this industrial giant to get government back within its means and to lighten our punitive tax burden And these will be our first priorities and on these principles there will be no compromise

　　On the eve of our struggle for independence a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers Dr Joseph Warren President of the Massachusetts Congress said to his fellow Americans Our country is in danger but not to be despaired of On you depend the fortunes of America You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn Act worthy of yourselves

　　Well I believe we the Americans of today are ready to act worthy of ourselves ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves our children and our children's children

　　And as we renew ourselves here in our own land we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom

　　To those neighbors and allies who share our freedom we will strengthen our historic ties and assure them of our support and firm commitment We will match loyalty with loyalty We will strive for mutually beneficial relations We will not use our friendship to impose on their sovereignty for or own sovereignty is not for sale

　　As for the enemies of freedom those who are potential adversaries they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people We will negotiate for it sacrifice for it we will not surrender for itnow or ever

　　Our forbearance should never be misunderstood Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will When action is required to preserve our national security we will act We will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength

　　Above all we must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have It is a weapon that we as Americans do have Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors

　　I am told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day and for that I am deeply grateful We are a nation under God and I believe God intended for us to be free It would be fitting and good I think if on each Inauguration Day in future years it should be declared a day of prayer

　　This is the first time in history that this ceremony has been held as you have been told on this West Front of the Capitol Standing here one faces a magnificent vista opening up on this city's special beauty and history At the end of this open mall are those shrines to the giants on whose shoulders we stand

　　Directly in front of me the monument to a monumental man George Washington Father of our country A man of humility who came to greatness reluctantly He led America out of revolutionary victory into infant nationhood Off to one side the stately memorial to Thomas Jefferson The Declaration of Independence flames with his eloquence

　　And then beyond the Reflecting Pool the dignified columns of the Lincoln Memorial Whoever would understand in his heart the meaning of America will find it in the life of Abraham Lincoln

　　Beyond those monuments to heroism is the Potomac River and on the far shore the sloping hills of Arlington National Cemetery with its row on row of simple white markers bearing crosses or Stars of David They add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our freedom

　　Each one of those markers is a monument to the kinds of hero I spoke of earlier Their lives ended in places called Belleau Wood The Argonne Omaha Beach Salerno and halfway around the world on Guadalcanal Tarawa Pork Chop Hill the Chosin Reservoir and in a hundred rice paddies and jungles of a place called Vietnam

　　Under one such marker lies a young manMartin Treptowwho left his job in a small town barber shop in 1917 to go to France with the famed Rainbow Division There on the western front he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire

　　We are told that on his body was found a diary On the flyleaf under the heading My Pledge he had written these words America must win this war Therefore I will work I will save I will sacrifice I will endure I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone

　　The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow and so many thousands of others were called upon to make It does require however our best effort and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds to believe that together with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us

　　And after all why shouldn't we believe that We are Americans God bless you and thank you

1977年美国总统卡特职演说
Inaugural Address by Jimmy Carter
(January 20 1977)

For myself and for our Nation I want to thank my predecessor for all he has done to heal our land

In this outward and physical ceremony we attest once again to the inner and spiritual strength of our Nation As my high school teacher Miss Julia Coleman used to say We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles

Here before me is the Bible used in the inauguration of our first President in 1789 and I have just taken the oath of office on the Bible my mother gave me a few years ago opened to a timeless admonition from the ancient prophet Micah He hath showed thee O man what is good and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God (Micah 68)

This inauguration ceremony marks a new beginning a new dedication within our Government and a new spirit among us all A President may sense and proclaim that new spirit but only a people can provide it

Two centuries ago our Nation's birth was a milestone in the long quest for freedom but the bold and brilliant dream which excited the founders of this Nation still awaits its consummation I have no new dream to set forth today but rather urge a fresh faith in the old dream

Ours was the first society openly to define itself in terms of both spirituality and of human liberty It is that unique selfdefinition which has given us an exceptional appeal but it also imposes on us a special obligation to take on those moral duties which when assumed seem invariably to be in our own best interests

You have given me a great responsibilityto stay close to you to be worthy of you and to exemplify what you are Let us create together a new national spirit of unity and trust Your strength can compensate for my weakness and your wisdom can help to minimize my mistakes

Let us learn together and laugh together and work together and pray together confident that in the end we will triumph together in the right

The American dream endures We must once again have full faith in our country and in one another I believe America can be better We can be even stronger than before

Let our recent mistakes bring a resurgent commitment to the basic principles of our Nation for we know that if we despise our own government we have no future We recall in special times when we have stood briefly but magnificently united In those times no prize was beyond our grasp

But we cannot dwell upon remembered glory We cannot afford to drift We reject the prospect of failure or mediocrity or an inferior quality of life for any person Our Government must at the same time be both competent and compassionate

We have already found a high degree of personal liberty and we are now struggling to enhance equality of opportunity Our commitment to human rights must be absolute our laws fair our natural beauty preserved the powerful must not persecute the weak and human dignity must be enhanced

We have learned that more is not necessarily better that even our great Nation has its recognized limits and that we can neither answer all questions nor solve all problems We cannot afford to do everything nor can we afford to lack boldness as we meet the future So together in a spirit of individual sacrifice for the common good we must simply do our best

Our Nation can be strong abroad only if it is strong at home And we know that the best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation

To be true to ourselves we must be true to others We will not behave in foreign places so as to violate our rules and standards here at home for we know that the trust which our Nation earns is essential to our strength

The world itself is now dominated by a new spirit Peoples more numerous and more politically aware are craving and now demanding their place in the sunnot just for the benefit of their own physical condition but for basic human rights

The passion for freedom is on the rise Tapping this new spirit there can be no nobler nor more ambitious task for America to undertake on this day of a new beginning than to help shape a just and peaceful world that is truly humane

We are a strong nation and we will maintain strength so sufficient that it need not be proven in combata quiet strength based not merely on the size of an arsenal but on the nobility of ideas

We will be ever vigilant and never vulnerable and we will fight our wars against poverty ignorance and injusticefor those are the enemies against which our forces can be honorably marshaled

We are a purely idealistic Nation but let no one confuse our idealism with weakness

Because we are free we can never be indifferent to the fate of freedom elsewhere Our moral sense dictates a clearcut preference for these societies which share with us an abiding respect for individual human rights We do not seek to intimidate but it is clear that a world which others can dominate with impunity would be inhospitable to decency and a threat to the wellbeing of all people

The world is still engaged in a massive armaments race designed to ensure continuing equivalent strength among potential adversaries We pledge perseverance and wisdom in our efforts to limit the world's armaments to those necessary for each nation's own domestic safety And we will move this year a step toward ultimate goalthe elimination of all nuclear weapons from this Earth We urge all other people to join us for success can mean life instead of death

Within us the people of the United States there is evident a serious and purposeful rekindling of confidence And I join in the hope that when my time as your President has ended people might say this about our Nation

that we had remembered the words of Micah and renewed our search for humility mercy and justice
that we had torn down the barriers that separated those of different race and region and religion and where there had been mistrust built unity with a respect for diversity
that we had found productive work for those able to perform it
that we had strengthened the American family which is the basis of our society
that we had ensured respect for the law and equal treatment under the law for the weak and the powerful for the rich and the poor
and that we had enabled our people to be proud of their own Government once again
I would hope that the nations of the world might say that we had built a lasting peace built not on weapons of war but on international policies which reflect our own most precious values

These are not just my goals and they will not be my accomplishments but the affirmation of our Nation's continuing moral strength and our belief in an undiminished everexpanding American dream



























1974年美国总统福特职演说
Vice President Gerald Ford was sworn in as the 38th President of the United States after the resignation of President Nixon

President Ford's Inaugural Address

[Oath of Office administered by Chief Justice Warren E Burger]

Mr Chief Justice my dear friends my fellow Americans

The oath that I have taken is the same oath that was taken by George Washington and by every President under the Constitution But I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances never before experienced by Americans This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts

Therefore I feel it is my first duty to make an unprecedented compact with my countrymen Not an inaugural address not a fireside chat not a campaign speech just a little straight talk among friends And I intend it to be the first of many

I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your President by your ballots and so I ask you to confirm me as your President with your prayers And I hope that such prayers will also be the first of many If you have not chosen me by secret ballot neither have I gained office by any secret promises I have not campaigned either for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency I have not subscribed to any partisan platform I am indebted to no man and only to one woman my dear wife as I begin this very difficult job

I have not sought this enormous responsibility but I will not shirk it Those who nominated and confirmed me as Vice President were my friends and are my friends They were of both parties elected by all the people and acting under the Constitution in their name It is only fitting then that I should pledge to them and to you that I will be the President of all the people

Thomas Jefferson said the people are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty And down the years Abraham Lincoln renewed this American article of faith asking Is there any better way or equal hope in the world

I intend on Monday next to request of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate the privilege of appearing before the Congress to share with my former colleagues and with you the American people my views on the priority business of the Nation and to solicit your views and their views And may I say to the Speaker and the others if I could meet with you right after these remarks I would appreciate it

Even though this is late in an election year there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people's urgent needs We cannot stand still or slip backwards We must go forward now together

To the peoples and the governments of all friendly nations and I hope that could encompass the whole world I pledge an uninterrupted and sincere search for peace America will remain strong and united but its strength will remain dedicated to the safety and sanity of the entire family of man as well as to our own precious freedom I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together not only our Government but civilization itself That bond though stained is unbroken at home and abroad

In all my public and private acts as your President I expect to follow my instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in the end

My fellow Americans our long national nightmare is over

Our Constitution works Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men Here the people rule But there is a higher Power by whatever name we honor Him who ordains not only righteousness but love not only justice but mercy As we bind up the internal wounds of Watergate more painful and more poisonous than those of foreign wars let us restore the golden rule to our political process and let brotherly love purge our hearts of suspicion and of hate

In the beginning I asked you to pray for me Before closing I ask again your prayers for Richard Nixon and for his family May our former President who brought peace to millions find it for himself May God bless and comfort his wonderful wife and daughters whose love and loyalty will forever be a shining legacy to all who bear the lonely burdens of the White House I can only guess at those burdens although I have witnessed at close hand the tragedies that befell three Presidents and the lesser trials of others

With all the strength and all the good sense I have gained from life with all the confidence of my family my friends and my dedicated staff impart to me and with the good will of countless Americans I have encountered in recent visits to 40 States I now solemnly reaffirm my promise I made to you last December 6 To uphold the Constitution to do what is right as God gives me to see the right and to do the very best I can for America

God helping me I will not let you down

Thank you

　　Senator Dirksen Mr Chief Justice Mr Vice President President Johnson Vice President Humphrey my fellow Americansand my fellow citizens of the world community

　　I ask you to share with me today the majesty of this moment In the orderly transfer of power we celebrate the unity that keeps us free

　　Each moment in history is a fleeting time precious and unique But some stand out as moments of beginning in which courses are set that shape decades or centuries

　　This can be such a moment

　　Forces now are converging that make possible for the first time the hope that many of man's deepest aspirations can at last be realized The spiraling pace of change allows us to contemplate within our own lifetime advances that once would have taken centuries

　　In throwing wide the horizons of space we have discovered new horizons on earth

　　For the first time because the people of the world want peace and the leaders of the world are afraid of war the times are on the side of peace

　　Eight years from now America will celebrate its 200th anniversary as a nation Within the lifetime of most people now living mankind will celebrate that great new year which comes only once in a thousand yearsthe beginning of the third millennium

　　What kind of nation we will be what kind of world we will live in whether we shape the future in the image of our hopes is ours to determine by our actions and our choices

　　The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker This honor now beckons Americathe chance to help lead the world at last out of the valley of turmoil and onto that high ground of peace that man has dreamed of since the dawn of civilization

　　If we succeed generations to come will say of us now living that we mastered our moment that we helped make the world safe for mankind

　　This is our summons to greatness

　　I believe the American people are ready to answer this call

　　The second third of this century has been a time of proud achievement We have made enormous strides in science and industry and agriculture We have shared our wealth more broadly than ever We have learned at last to manage a modern economy to assure its continued growth

　　We have given freedom new reach and we have begun to make its promise real for black as well as for white

　　We see the hope of tomorrow in the youth of today I know America's youth I believe in them We can be proud that they are better educated more committed more passionately driven by conscience than any generation in our history

　　No people has ever been so close to the achievement of a just and abundant society or so possessed of the will to achieve it Because our strengths are so great we can afford to appraise our weaknesses with candor and to approach them with hope

　　Standing in this same place a third of a century ago Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a Nation ravaged by depression and gripped in fear He could say in surveying the Nation's troubles They concern thank God only material things

　　Our crisis today is the reverse

　　We have found ourselves rich in goods but ragged in spirit reaching with magnificent precision for the moon but falling into raucous discord on earth

　　We are caught in war wanting peace We are torn by division wanting unity We see around us empty lives wanting fulfillment We see tasks that need doing waiting for hands to do them

　　To a crisis of the spirit we need an answer of the spirit

　　To find that answer we need only look within ourselves

　　When we listen to the better angels of our nature we find that they celebrate the simple things the basic thingssuch as goodness decency love kindness

　　Greatness comes in simple trappings

　　The simple things are the ones most needed today if we are to surmount what divides us and cement what unites us

　　To lower our voices would be a simple thing

　　In these difficult years America has suffered from a fever of words from inflated rhetoric that promises more than it can deliver from angry rhetoric that fans discontents into hatreds from bombastic rhetoric that postures instead of persuading

　　We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one anotheruntil we speak quietly enough so that our words can be heard as well as our voices

　　For its part government will listen We will strive to listen in new waysto the voices of quiet anguish the voices that speak without words the voices of the heartto the injured voices the anxious voices the voices that have despaired of being heard

　　Those who have been left out we will try to bring in

　　Those left behind we will help to catch up

　　For all of our people we will set as our goal the decent order that makes progress possible and our lives secure

　　As we reach toward our hopes our task is to build on what has gone beforenot turning away from the old but turning toward the new

　　In this past third of a century government has passed more laws spent more money initiated more programs than in all our previous history

　　In pursuing our goals of full employment better housing excellence in education in rebuilding our cities and improving our rural areas in protecting our environment and enhancing the quality of lifein all these and more we will and must press urgently forward

　　We shall plan now for the day when our wealth can be transferred from the destruction of war abroad to the urgent needs of our people at home

　　The American dream does not come to those who fall asleep

　　But we are approaching the limits of what government alone can do

　　Our greatest need now is to reach beyond government and to enlist the legions of the concerned and the committed

　　What has to be done has to be done by government and people together or it will not be done at all The lesson of past agony is that without the people we can do nothing with the people we can do everything

　　To match the magnitude of our tasks we need the energies of our peopleenlisted not only in grand enterprises but more importantly in those small splendid efforts that make headlines in the neighborhood newspaper instead of the national journal

　　With these we can build a great cathedral of the spiriteach of us raising it one stone at a time as he reaches out to his neighbor helping caring doing

　　I do not offer a life of uninspiring ease I do not call for a life of grim sacrifice I ask you to join in a high adventureone as rich as humanity itself and as exciting as the times we live in

　　The essence of freedom is that each of us shares in the shaping of his own destiny

　　Until he has been part of a cause larger than himself no man is truly whole

　　The way to fulfillment is in the use of our talents we achieve nobility in the spirit that inspires that use

　　As we measure what can be done we shall promise only what we know we can produce but as we chart our goals we shall be lifted by our dreams

　　No man can be fully free while his neighbor is not To go forward at all is to go forward together

　　This means black and white together as one nation not two The laws have caught up with our conscience What remains is to give life to what is in the law to ensure at last that as all are born equal in dignity before God all are born equal in dignity before man

　　As we learn to go forward together at home let us also seek to go forward together with all mankind

　　Let us take as our goal where peace is unknown make it welcome where peace is fragile make it strong where peace is temporary make it permanent

　　After a period of confrontation we are entering an era of negotiation

　　Let all nations know that during this administration our lines of communication will be open

　　We seek an open worldopen to ideas open to the exchange of goods and peoplea world in which no people great or small will live in angry isolation

　　We cannot expect to make everyone our friend but we can try to make no one our enemy

　　Those who would be our adversaries we invite to a peaceful competitionnot in conquering territory or extending dominion but in enriching the life of man

　　As we explore the reaches of space let us go to the new worlds togethernot as new worlds to be conquered but as a new adventure to be shared

　　With those who are willing to join let us cooperate to reduce the burden of arms to strengthen the structure of peace to lift up the poor and the hungry

　　But to all those who would be tempted by weakness let us leave no doubt that we will be as strong as we need to be for as long as we need to be

　　Over the past twenty years since I first came to this Capital as a freshman Congressman I have visited most of the nations of the world

　　I have come to know the leaders of the world and the great forces the hatreds the fears that divide the world

　　I know that peace does not come through wishing for itthat there is no substitute for days and even years of patient and prolonged diplomacy

　　I also know the people of the world

　　I have seen the hunger of a homeless child the pain of a man wounded in battle the grief of a mother who has lost her son I know these have no ideology no race

　　I know America I know the heart of America is good

　　I speak from my own heart and the heart of my country the deep concern we have for those who suffer and those who sorrow

　　I have taken an oath today in the presence of God and my countrymen to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States To that oath I now add this sacred commitment I shall consecrate my office my energies and all the wisdom I can summon to the cause of peace among nations

　　Let this message be heard by strong and weak alike

　　The peace we seek to win is not victory over any other people but the peace that comes with healing in its wings with compassion for those who have suffered with understanding for those who have opposed us with the opportunity for all the peoples of this earth to choose their own destiny

　　Only a few short weeks ago we shared the glory of man's first sight of the world as God sees it as a single sphere reflecting light in the darkness

　　As the Apollo astronauts flew over the moon's gray surface on Christmas Eve they spoke to us of the beauty of earthand in that voice so clear across the lunar distance we heard them invoke God's blessing on its goodness

　　In that moment their view from the moon moved poet Archibald MacLeish to write

　　To see the earth as it truly is small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal coldbrothers who know now they are truly brothers

　　In that moment of surpassing technological triumph men turned their thoughts toward home and humanityseeing in that far perspective that man's destiny on earth is not divisible telling us that however far we reach into the cosmos our destiny lies not in the stars but on Earth itself in our own hands in our own hearts

　　We have endured a long night of the American spirit But as our eyes catch the dimness of the first rays of dawn let us not curse the remaining dark Let us gather the light

　　Our destiny offers not the cup of despair but the chalice of opportunity So let us seize it not in fear but in gladness and riders on the earth together let us go forward firm in our faith steadfast in our purpose cautious of the dangers but sustained by our confidence in the will of God and the promise of man

1961年美国总统肯尼迪职演说
Inaugural Address of John F Kennedy

　　FRIDAY JANUARY 20 1961

　　Vice President Johnson Mr Speaker Mr Chief Justice President Eisenhower Vice President Nixon President Truman reverend clergy fellow citizens we observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedomsymbolizing an end as well as a beginningsignifying renewal as well as change For I have sworn I before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears l prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago

　　The world is very different now For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globethe belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God

　　We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution Let the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americansborn in this century tempered by war disciplined by a hard and bitter peace proud of our ancient heritageand unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed and to which we are committed today at home and around the world


　　Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price bear any burden meet any hardship support any friend oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty

　　This much we pledgeand more

　　To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures Divided there is little we can dofor we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder

　　To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedomand to remember that in the past those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside

　　To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves for whatever period is requirednot because the Communists may be doing it not because we seek their votes but because it is right If a free society cannot help the many who are poor it cannot save the few who are rich

　　To our sister republics south of our border we offer a special pledgeto convert our good words into good deedsin a new alliance for progressto assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house

　　To that world assembly of sovereign states the United Nations our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace we renew our pledge of supportto prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invectiveto strengthen its shield of the new and the weakand to enlarge the area in which its writ may run

　　Finally to those nations who would make themselves our adversary we offer not a pledge but a request that both sides begin anew the quest for peace before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental selfdestruction

　　We dare not tempt them with weakness For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed

　　But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present courseboth sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war

　　So let us begin anewremembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness and sincerity is always subject to proof Let us never negotiate out of fear But let us never fear to negotiate

　　Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us

　　Let both sides for the first time formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of armsand bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations

　　Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors Together let us explore the stars conquer the deserts eradicate disease tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce

　　Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiahto undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free

　　And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion let both sides join in creating a new endeavor not a new balance of power but a new world of law where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved

　　All this will not be finished in the first 100 days Nor will it be finished in the first 1000 days nor in the life of this Administration nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet But let us begin

　　In your hands my fellow citizens more than in mine will rest the final success or failure of our course Since this country was founded each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe

　　Now the trumpet summons us againnot as a call to bear arms though arms we need not as a call to battle though embattled we arebut a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle year in and year out rejoicing in hope patient in tribulationa struggle against the common enemies of man tyranny poverty disease and war itself

　　Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance North and South East and West that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind Will you join in that historic effort

　　In the long history of the world only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger I do not shank from this responsibilityI welcome it I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation The energy the faith the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve itand the glow from that fire can truly light the world

　　And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for youask what you can do for your country

　　My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you but what together we can do for the freedom of man

　　Finally whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you With a good conscience our only sure reward with history the final judge of our deeds let us go forth to lead the land we love asking His blessing and His help but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own

1949年美国总统杜鲁门职演说
Inaugural Address of Harry S Truman

　　THURSDAY JANUARY 20 1949

　　Mr Vice President Mr Chief Justice and fellow citizens I accept with humility the honor which the American people have conferred upon me I accept it with a deep resolve to do all that I can for the welfare of this Nation and for the peace of the world

　　In performing the duties of my office I need the help and prayers of every one of you I ask for your encouragement and your support The tasks we face are difficult and we can accomplish them only if we work together

　　Each period of our national history has had its special challenges Those that confront us now are as momentous as any in the past Today marks the beginning not only of a new administration but of a period that will be eventful perhaps decisive for us and for the world

　　It may be our lot to experience and in large measure to bring about a major turning point in the long history of the human race The first half of this century has been marked by unprecedented and brutal attacks on the rights of man and by the two most frightful wars in history The supreme need of our time is for men to learn to live together in peace and harmony

　　The peoples of the earth face the future with grave uncertainty composed almost equally of great hopes and great fears In this time of doubt they look to the United States as never before for good will strength and wise leadership

　　It is fitting therefore that we take this occasion to proclaim to the world the essential principles of the faith by which we live and to declare our aims to all peoples

　　The American people stand firm in the faith which has inspired this Nation from the beginning We believe that all men have a right to equal justice under law and equal opportunity to share in the common good We believe that all men have the right to freedom of thought and expression We believe that all men are created equal because they are created in the image of God

　　From this faith we will not be moved

　　The American people desire and are determined to work for a world in which all nations and all peoples are free to govern themselves as they see fit and to achieve a decent and satisfying life Above all else our people desire and are determined to work for peace on eartha just and lasting peacebased on genuine agreement freely arrived at by equals

　　In the pursuit of these aims the United States and other like minded nations find themselves directly opposed by a regime with contrary aims and a totally different concept of life

　　That regime adheres to a false philosophy which purports to offer freedom security and greater opportunity to mankind Misled by this philosophy many peoples have sacrificed their liberties only to learn to their sorrow that deceit and mockery poverty and tyranny are their reward

　　That false philosophy is communism

　　Communism is based on the belief that man is so weak and inadequate that he is unable to govern himself and therefore requires the rule of strong masters

　　Democracy is based on the conviction that man has the moral and intellectual capacity as well as the inalienable right to govern himself with reason and justice

　　Communism subjects the individual to arrest without lawful cause punishment without trial and forced labor as the chattel of the state It decrees what information he shall receive what art he shall produce what leaders he shall follow and what thoughts he shall think

　　Democracy maintains that government is established for the benefit of the individual and is charged with the responsibility of protecting the rights of the individual and his freedom in the exercise of his abilities

　　Communism maintains that social wrongs can be corrected only by violence

　　Democracy has proved that social justice can be achieved through peaceful change

　　Communism holds that the world is so deeply divided into opposing classes that war is inevitable

　　Democracy holds that free nations can settle differences justly and maintain lasting peace

　　These differences between communism and democracy do not concern the United States alone People everywhere are coming to realize that what is involved is material wellbeing human dignity and the right to believe in and worship God

　　I state these differences not to draw issues of belief as such but because the actions resulting from the Communist philosophy are a threat to the efforts of free nations to bring about world recovery and lasting peace

　　Since the end of hostilities the United States has invested its substance and its energy in a great constructive effort to restore peace stability and freedom to the world

　　We have sought no territory and we have imposed our will on none We have asked for no privileges we would not extend to others

　　We have constantly and vigorously supported the United Nations and related agencies as a means of applying democratic principles to international relations We have consistently advocated and relied upon peaceful settlement of disputes among nations

　　We have made every effort to secure agreement on effective international control of our most powerful weapon and we have worked steadily for the limitation and control of all armaments

　　We have encouraged by precept and example the expansion of world trade on a sound and fair basis

　　Almost a year ago in company with 16 free nations of Europe we launched the greatest cooperative economic program in history The purpose of that unprecedented effort is to invigorate and strengthen democracy in Europe so that the free people of that continent can resume their rightful place in the forefront of civilization and can contribute once more to the security and welfare of the world

　　Our efforts have brought new hope to all mankind We have beaten back despair and defeatism We have saved a number of countries from losing their liberty Hundreds of millions of people all over the world now agree with us that we need not have warthat we can have peace

　　The initiative is ours

　　We are moving on with other nations to build an even stronger structure of international order and justice We shall have as our partners countries which no longer solely concerned with the problem of national survival are now working to improve the standards of living of all their people We are ready to undertake new projects to strengthen the free world

　　In the coming years our program for peace and freedom will emphasize four major courses of action

　　First we will continue to give unfaltering support to the United Nations and related agencies and we will continue to search for ways to strengthen their authority and increase their effectiveness We believe that the United Nations will be strengthened by the new nations which are being formed in lands now advancing toward selfgovernment under democratic principles

　　Second we will continue our programs for world economic recovery

　　This means first of all that we must keep our full weight behind the European recovery program We are confident of the success of this major venture in world recovery We believe that our partners in this effort will achieve the status of selfsupporting nations once again

　　In addition we must carry out our plans for reducing the barriers to world trade and increasing its volume Economic recovery and peace itself depend on increased world trade

　　Third we will strengthen freedomloving nations against the dangers of aggression

　　We are now working out with a number of countries a joint agreement designed to strengthen the security of the North Atlantic area Such an agreement would take the form of a collective defense arrangement within the terms of the United Nations Charter

　　We have already established such a defense pact for the Western Hemisphere by the treaty of Rio de Janeiro

　　The primary purpose of these agreements is to provide unmistakable proof of the joint determination of the free countries to resist armed attack from any quarter Each country participating in these arrangements must contribute all it can to the common defense

　　If we can make it sufficiently clear in advance that any armed attack affecting our national security would be met with overwhelming force the armed attack might never occur

　　I hope soon to send to the Senate a treaty respecting the North Atlantic security plan

　　In addition we will provide military advice and equipment to free nations which will cooperate with us in the maintenance of peace and security

　　Fourth we must embark on a bold new program for making the benefits of our scientific advances and industrial progress available for the improvement and growth of underdeveloped areas

　　More than half the people of the world are living in conditions approaching misery Their food is inadequate They are victims of disease Their economic life is primitive and stagnant Their poverty is a handicap and a threat both to them and to more prosperous areas

　　For the first time in history humanity possesses the knowledge and the skill to relieve the suffering of these people

　　The United States is preeminent among nations in the development of industrial and scientific techniques The material resources which we can afford to use for the assistance of other peoples are limited But our imponderable resources in technical knowledge are constantly growing and are inexhaustible

　　I believe that we should make available to peaceloving peoples the benefits of our store of technical knowledge in order to help them realize their aspirations for a better life And in cooperation with other nations we should foster capital investment in areas needing development

　　Our aim should be to help the free peoples of the world through their own efforts to produce more food more clothing more materials for housing and more mechanical power to lighten their burdens

　　We invite other countries to pool their technological resources in this undertaking Their contributions will be warmly welcomed This should be a cooperative enterprise in which all nations work together through the United Nations and its specialized agencies wherever practicable It must be a worldwide effort for the achievement of peace plenty and freedom

　　With the cooperation of business private capital agriculture and labor in this country this program can greatly increase the industrial activity in other nations and can raise substantially their standards of living

　　Such new economic developments must be devised and controlled to benefit the peoples of the areas in which they are established Guarantees to the investor must be balanced by guarantees in the interest of the people whose resources and whose labor go into these developments

　　The old imperialismexploitation for foreign profithas no place in our plans What we envisage is a program of development based on the concepts of democratic fairdealing

　　All countries including our own will greatly benefit from a constructive program for the better use of the world's human and natural resources Experience shows that our commerce with other countries expands as they progress industrially and economically

　　Greater production is the key to prosperity and peace And the key to greater production is a wider and more vigorous application of modern scientific and technical knowledge

　　Only by helping the least fortunate of its members to help themselves can the human family achieve the decent satisfying life that is the right of all people

　　Democracy alone can supply the vitalizing force to stir the peoples of the world into triumphant action not only against their human oppressors but also against their ancient enemies hunger misery and despair

　　On the basis of these four major courses of action we hope to help create the conditions that will lead eventually to personal freedom and happiness for all mankind

　　If we are to be successful in carrying out these policies it is clear that we must have continued prosperity in this country and we must keep ourselves strong

　　Slowly but surely we are weaving a world fabric of international security and growing prosperity

　　We are aided by all who wish to live in freedom from feareven by those who live today in fear under their own governments

　　We are aided by all who want relief from the lies of propaganda who desire truth and sincerity

　　We are aided by all who desire selfgovernment and a voice in deciding their own affairs

　　We are aided by all who long for economic securityfor the security and abundance that men in free societies can enjoy

　　We are aided by all who desire freedom of speech freedom of religion and freedom to live their own lives for useful ends

　　Our allies are the millions who hunger and thirst after righteousness

　　In due time as our stability becomes manifest as more and more nations come to know the benefits of democracy and to participate in growing abundance I believe that those countries which now oppose us will abandon their delusions and join with the free nations of the world in a just settlement of international differences

　　Events have brought our American democracy to new influence and new responsibilities They will test our courage our devotion to duty and our concept of liberty

　　But I say to all men what we have achieved in liberty we will surpass in greater liberty

　　Steadfast in our faith in the Almighty we will advance toward a world where man's freedom is secure

　　To that end we will devote our strength our resources and our firmness of resolve With God's help the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice harmony and peace

1933年美国总统罗斯福职演说
First Inaugural Address of Franklin D Roosevelt

　　 SATURDAY MARCH 4 1933

　　I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our Nation impels This is preeminently the time to speak the truth the whole truth frankly and boldly Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today This great Nation will endure as it has endured will revive and will prosper So first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itselfnameless unreasoning unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days

　　In such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties They concern thank God only material things Values have shrunken to fantastic levels taxes have risen our ability to pay has fallen government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income the means of exchange are frozen in the currents of trade the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side farmers find no markets for their produce the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone

　　More important a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence and an equally great number toil with little return Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment

　　Yet our distress comes from no failure of substance We are stricken by no plague of locusts Compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered because they believed and were not afraid we have still much to be thankful for Nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it Plenty is at our doorstep but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply Primarily this is because the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods have failed through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence have admitted their failure and abdicated Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion rejected by the hearts and minds of men

　　True they have tried but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership they have resorted to exhortations pleading tearfully for restored confidence They know only the rules of a generation of selfseekers They have no vision and when there is no vision the people perish

　　The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit

　　Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money it lies in the joy of achievement in the thrill of creative effort The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men

　　Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit and there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing Small wonder that confidence languishes for it thrives only on honesty on honor on the sacredness of obligations on faithful protection on unselfish performance without them it cannot live

　　Restoration calls however not for changes in ethics alone This Nation asks for action and action now

　　Our greatest primary task is to put people to work This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war but at the same time through this employment accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our natural resources

　　Hand in hand with this we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land The task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural products and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities It can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure of our small homes and our farms It can be helped by insistence that the Federal State and local governments act forthwith on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered uneconomical and unequal It can be helped by national planning for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of communications and other utilities which have a definitely public character There are many ways in which it can be helped but it can never be helped merely by talking about it We must act and act quickly

　　Finally in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments there must be an end to speculation with other people's money and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency

　　There are the lines of attack I shall presently urge upon a new Congress in special session detailed measures for their fulfillment and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the several States

　　Through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balance outgo Our international trade relations though vastly important are in point of time and necessity secondary to the establishment of a sound national economy I favor as a practical policy the putting of first things first I shall spare no effort to restore world trade by international economic readjustment but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishment

　　The basic thought that guides these specific means of national recovery is not narrowly nationalistic It is the insistence as a first consideration upon the interdependence of the various elements in all parts of the United Statesa recognition of the old and permanently important manifestation of the American spirit of the pioneer It is the way to recovery It is the immediate way It is the strongest assurance that the recovery will endure

　　In the field of world policy I would dedicate this Nation to the policy of the good neighborthe neighbor who resolutely respects himself and because he does so respects the rights of others the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors

　　If I read the temper of our people correctly we now realize as we have never realized before our interdependence on each other that we can not merely take but we must give as well that if we are to go forward we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline because without such discipline no progress is made no leadership becomes effective We are I know ready and willing to submit our lives and property to such discipline because it makes possible a leadership which aims at a larger good This I propose to offer pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in time of armed strife

　　With this pledge taken I assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems

　　Action in this image and to this end is feasible under the form of government which we have inherited from our ancestors Our Constitution is so simple and practical that it is possible always to meet extraordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without loss of essential form That is why our constitutional system has proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the modern world has produced It has met every stress of vast expansion of territory of foreign wars of bitter internal strife of world relations

　　It is to be hoped that the normal balance of executive and legislative authority may be wholly adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us But it may be that an unprecedented demand and need for undelayed action may call for temporary departure from that normal balance of public procedure

　　I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require These measures or such other measures as the Congress may build out of its experience and wisdom I shall seek within my constitutional authority to bring to speedy adoption

　　But in the event that the Congress shall fail to take one of these two courses and in the event that the national emergency is still critical I shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then confront me I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisisbroad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe

　　For the trust reposed in me I will return the courage and the devotion that befit the time I can do no less

　　We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of the national unity with the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious moral values with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stem performance of duty by old and young alike We aim at the assurance of a rounded and permanent national life

　　We do not distrust the future of essential democracy The people of the United States have not failed In their need they have registered a mandate that they want direct vigorous action They have asked for discipline and direction under leadership They have made me the present instrument of their wishes In the spirit of the gift I take it

　　In this dedication of a Nation we humbly ask the blessing of God May He protect each and every one of us May He guide me in the days to come
