lessons into this time as ，美國人，依然相信不必通過無休止的戰(zhàn)爭就能獲得永久的安全與和平。我們的軍人久經(jīng)戰(zhàn)火考驗(yàn)，技能和勇氣都舉世無雙。我們的人民永遠(yuǎn)銘記先烈們的犧牲，珍惜自由的來之不易。不忘先烈們的犧牲將讓我們永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)敵人保持警惕。但是我們同樣牢記那些不僅能夠贏得戰(zhàn)爭、還能贏得和平、化頑敵為摯友的人們。這些經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)，我們今天必須發(fā)揚(yáng)光大。We

about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe。and we will renew those institutions that

because our interests and our conscience pel us to act on behalf of those who long for we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere

。我們將通過試圖與其它國家和平地解決爭端來顯示我們的勇氣——這不是出于對(duì)我們面臨的危險(xiǎn)的無知，而是相信協(xié)商能夠更長久地解除懷疑與恐懼。美國將繼續(xù)在世界每個(gè)角落都保持積極的聯(lián)盟，我們也將繼續(xù)維護(hù)那些令我們能夠在國外應(yīng)付危機(jī)的機(jī)制，因?yàn)闆]有哪個(gè)國家會(huì)比世界上最強(qiáng)大的國家更需要一個(gè)和平的世界。我們將支持從亞洲到非洲、從拉美到中東的民主發(fā)展，因?yàn)槔婧土贾偈刮覀內(nèi)ブС帜切┫Ｍ杂傻娜藗儭Ｎ覀円脖仨毷秦毨А⒓膊　⑵缫暋⑵姷氖芎φ邆兊暮笤@不僅僅是出于慈善為懷，也因?yàn)槲覀儠r(shí)代的和平需要不斷地推動(dòng)我們共同信念所基于的原則，包括寬容、機(jī)遇、人類尊嚴(yán)與公正。We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still。just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall。just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone。to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on ，美國人，今天宣布，最不言自明的真理——人人生而平等——仍然是指引我們的北斗星，就像當(dāng)年這條真理在色內(nèi)加瀑布[1]、塞爾瑪[2]、石墻[3]這些地方指引著人們，它指引著在這個(gè)宏大的草坪上留下了足跡的所有知名和不知名的人們。他們來到這里聆聽宣講，說我們不能獨(dú)自行進(jìn)；他們來聆聽一位王者[4]說，我們的個(gè)人自由與地球上每個(gè)人的自由是緊密地聯(lián)系在一起的。It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers our journey is not plete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their journey is not plete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we mit to one another must be equal as journey is not plete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to journey is not plete until we find a better way to wele the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity。until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our journey is not plete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from

today’s victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us

，我們不能承受拖延的后果。我們不能誤以為毫無妥協(xié)余地是在堅(jiān)持原則，或者以做秀取代政治，或者以相互指責(zé)取代理性的辯論。我們必須行動(dòng)，盡管知道我們的工作不會(huì)十全十美。我們必須行動(dòng)，盡管知道今天的勝利只是部分的成功，它將更多地取決于今后四年、四十年乃至四百年后站在這里的人們，繼續(xù)發(fā)揚(yáng)從費(fèi)城獨(dú)立廳傳到我們手中的超越時(shí)代的精神。My
