1、奥巴马09年就职演讲奥巴马09年就职演讲篇一：美国总统奥巴马201X年就职演讲 Inaugural Address of Barak Obama Januar 20,201X M fello itizens: I stand here toda humbled b the task before us, grateful for the trust ou have bestoed, mindful of the sarifies borne b our anestors. I thank President Bush for his servie to our nation, as ell a

2、s the generosit and ooperation he has shon throughout this transition. Fort-four Amerians have no taken the presidential oath. The ords have been spoken during rising tides of prosperit and the still aters of peae. Yet, ever so often the oath is taken amidst gathering louds and raging storms. At the

3、se moments, Ameria has arried on not simpl beause of the skill or vision of those in high offie, but beause We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding douments. So it has been. So it must be ith this generation of Amerians. That e are in the midst

4、of risis is no ell understood. Our nation is at ar, against a far-reahing netork of violene and hatred. Our eonom is badl eakened, a onsequene of greed and irresponsibilit on the part of some, but also our olletive failure to make hard hoies and prepare the nation for a ne age. Homes have been lost;

5、 jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health are is too ostl; our shools fail too man; and eah da brings further evidene that the as e use energ strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indiators of risis, subjet to data and statistis. Less measurable but no less profound is

6、 a sapping of onfidene aross our land - a nagging fear that Amerias deline is inevitable, and that the next generation must loer its sights. Toda I sa to ou that the hallenges e fae are real. The are serious and the are man. The ill not be met easil or in a short span of time. But kno this, Ameria -

7、 the ill be met. On this da, e gather beause e have hosen hope over fear, unit of purpose over onflit and disord. On this da, e e to prolaim an end to the pett grievanes and false promises, the reriminations and orn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politis. We remain a oung natio

8、n, but in the ords of Sripture, the time has e to set aside hildish things. The time has e to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to hoose our better histor; to arr forard that preious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, a

9、nd all deserve a hane to pursue their full measure of happiness. In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, e understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journe has never been one of short-uts or settling for less. It has not been the path for thefaint-hearted - for those ho

10、prefer leisure over ork, or seek onl the pleasures of rihes and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some elebrated but more often men and omen obsure in their labor, ho have arried us up the long, rugged path toards prosperit and freedom. For us, the paked up

11、 their fe orldl possessions and traveled aross oeans in searh of a ne life. For us, the toiled in seatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the hip and ploed the hard earth. For us, the fought and died, in plaes like Conord and Gettsburg; Normand and Khe Sanh. Time and again these men and

12、omen struggled and sarified and orked till their hands ere ra so that e might live a better life. The sa Ameria as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differenes of birth or ealth or fation. This is the journe e ontinue toda. We remain the most prosperous, poerful n

13、ation on Earth. Our orkers are no less produtive than hen this risis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and servies no less needed than the ere last eek or last month or last ear. Our apait remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of proteting narro interests and putting of

14、f unpleasant deisions - that time has surel passed. Starting toda, e must pik ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the ork of remaking Ameria. For everhere e look, there is ork to be done. The state of the eonom alls for ation, bold and sift, and e ill at - not onl to reate ne jobs, but

15、 to la a ne foundation for groth. We ill build the roads and bridges, the eletri grids and digital lines that feed our mere and bind us together. We ill restore siene to its rightful plae, and ield tehnologs onders to raise health ares qualit and loer its ost. We ill harness the sun and the inds and

16、 the soil to fuel our ars and run our fatories. And e ill transform our shools and olleges and universities to meet the demands of a ne age. All this e an do. And all this e ill do. No, there are some ho question the sale of our ambitions - ho suggest that our sstem annot tolerate too man big plans.

17、 Their memories are short. For the have forgotten hat this ountr has alread done; hat free men and omen an ahieve hen imagination is joined to mon purpose, and neessit to ourage. What the nis fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale politial arguments that have

18、 onsumed us for so long no longer appl. The question e ask toda is not hether our government is too big or too small, but hether it orks - hether it helps families find jobs at a deent age, are the an afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the anser is es, e intend to move forard. Where the a

19、nser is no, programs ill end. And those of us ho manage the publis dollars ill be held to aount - to spend isel, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of da - beause onl then an e restore the vital trust beteen a people and their government.Nor is the question before us hether the mark

20、et is a fore for good or ill. Its poer to generate ealth and expand freedom is unmathed, but this risis has reminded us that ithout a athful ee, the market an spin out of ontrol - and that a nation annot prosper long hen it favors onl the prosperous. The suess of our eonom has alas depended not just

21、 on the size of our Gross Domesti Produt, but on the reah of our prosperit; on our abilit to extend opportunit to ever illing heart - not out of harit, but beause it is the surest route to our mon good. As for our mon defense, e rejet as false the hoie beteen our safet and our ideals. Our Founding F

22、athers, faed ith perils e an sarel imagine, drafted a harter to assure the rule of la and the rights of man, a harter expanded b the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the orld, and e ill not give them up for expedienes sake. And so to all other peoples and governments ho are athing toda

23、, from the grandest apitals to the small village here m father as born: kno that Ameria is a friend of eah nation and ever man, oman, and hild ho seeks a future of peae and dignit, and that e are read to lead one more. Reall that earlier generations faed don fasism not just ith missiles and tanks, b

24、ut ith sturd allianes and enduring onvitions. The understood that our poer alone annot protet us, nor does it entitle us to do as e please. Instead, the kne that our poer gros through its prudent use; our seurit emanates from the justness of our ause, the fore of our example, the tempering qualities

25、 of humilit and restraint. We are the keepers of this lega. Guided b these priniples one more, e an meet those ne threats that demand even greater effort - even greater ooperation and understanding beteen nations. We ill begin to responsibl leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peae in A

26、fghanistan. With old friends and former foes, e ill ork tirelessl to lessen the nulear threat, and roll bak the speter of a arming planet. We ill not apologize for our a of life, nor ill e aver in its defense, and for those ho seek to advane their aims b induing terror and slaughtering innoents, e s

27、a to ou no that our spirit is stronger and annot be broken; ou annot outlast us, and e ill defeat ou. For e kno that our pathork heritage is a strength, not a eakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jes and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped b ever language and ulture, dran from e

28、ver end of this Earth; and beause e have tasted the bitter sill of ivil ar and segregation, and emerged from that dark hapter stronger and more united, e annot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someda pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the orld gros smaller, our mon

29、 humanit shall reveal itself; and that Ameria must pla its role in ushering in a ne era of peae. To the Muslim orld, e seek a ne a forard, based on mutual interest and mutual respet. To those leaders around the globe ho seek to so onflit, or blame their soiets ills on the West - kno that our people

30、ill judge ou on hat ou an build, not hat ou destro. To those ho ling to poer through orruption and deeit and the silening of dissent, kno that ou are on the rong side of histor; but that e ill extend a hand if ou are illing to unlenh our fist. To the people of poor nations, e pledge to ork alongside

31、 ou to make our farms flourish and let lean aters flo; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungr minds. And to those nations like ours thatenjo relative plent, e sa e an no longer afford indifferene to suffering outside our borders; nor an e onsume the orlds resoures ithout regard to effet. For the o

32、rld has hanged, and e must hange ith it. As e onsider the road that unfolds before us, e remember ith humble gratitude those brave Amerians ho, at this ver hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. The have something to tell us toda, just as the fallen heroes ho lie in Arlington hisper thr

33、ough the ages. We honor them not onl beause the are guardians of our libert, but beause the embod the spirit of servie; a illingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And et, at this moment - a moment that ill define a generation - it is preisel this spirit that must inhabit us a

34、ll. For as muh as government an do and must do, it is ultimatel the faith and determination of the Amerian people upon hih this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger hen the levees break, the selflessness of orkers ho ould rather ut their hours than see a friend lose their job hih

35、sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighters ourage to storm a staira filled ith smoke, but also a parents illingness to nurture a hild, that finall deides our fate. Our hallenges ma be ne. The instruments ith hih e meet them ma be ne. But those values upon hih our suess depends - hard

36、ork and honest, ourage and fair pla, tolerane and uriosit, loalt and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. The have been the quiet fore of progress throughout our histor. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us no is a ne era of responsibilit - a

37、 reognition, on the part of ever Amerian, that e have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the orld, duties that e do not grudgingl aept but rather seize gladl, firm in the knoledge that there is nothing so satisfing to the spirit, so defining of our harater, than giving our all to a diffiult task.

38、This is the prie and the promise of itizenship. This is the soure of our onfidene - the knoledge that God alls on us to shape an unertain destin. This is the meaning of our libert and our reed - h men and omen and hildren of ever rae and ever faith an join in elebration aross this magnifient mall, a

39、nd h a man hose father less than sixt ears ago might not have been served at a loal restaurant an no stand before ou to take a most sared oath. So let us mark this da ith remembrane, of ho e are and ho far e have traveled. In the ear of Amerias birth, in the oldest of months, a small band of patriot

40、s huddled b ding ampfires on the shores of an i river. The apital as abandoned. The enem as advaning. The sno as stained ith blood. At a moment hen the oute of our revolution as most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these ords be read to the people: Let it be told to the future orld.that i

41、n the depth of inter, hen nothing but hope and virtue ould survive.that the it and the ountr, alarmed at one mon danger, ame forth to meet .Ameria. In the fae of our mon dangers, in this inter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless ords. With hope and virtue, let us brave one more the i urr

42、ents, and endure hat storms ma e. Let it be said b our hildrens hildren that hen e ere tested e refused to let this journe end, that e did not turn bak nor did e falter; and ith ees fixed on the horizon and Gods grae upon us, e arried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safel to future

43、 generations. 译文：同胞们：我今天站在这里，因为面前的任务而感到谦卑，因为你们的信任而心存感激，同时铭记先辈们做所出的巨大牺牲。感谢布什总统为这个国家做出的贡献，同时也谢谢他在整个政权交接期间表现出的慷慨与合作。 迄今已经有44名美国人宣誓就任总统。这些誓词曾出现在繁荣的上升趋势和如水般平静的和平中，当然，也经常会出现在乌云密布和狂风暴雨之时。在这各种时刻，美国一直在继续前行，这不仅仅是因为执政的技巧或者有先见之明，而是因为我们的人民一直在坚守先辈们的理想，忠实履行我们的建国宣言。过去是这样，这一代的美国人仍将会坚持这样做。 众所周知，我们目前正处在危机之中。我们的国家正在对暴力

44、和仇恨宣战。我们的经济也被严重削弱，这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果，但在做出艰难选择和准备迎接新时代方面，我们出现了集体性的失误。房屋失去了；工作丢掉了；商业萧条了；我们的卫生保健耗资巨大；我们太多的学校不合格；每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大，并且威胁到了我们整个星球。 这些数据和统计都是危机的表现特征。虽然无法具备测量，但产生的深远影响是我们的信心受到了侵蚀-担心美国的衰退不可避免，担心下一代会降低他们的期待。今天我要向你们说的是，我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。这些挑战很多，而且非常严重，它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就能得以解决。但大家也必须认识到，美国，终将会解

45、决这些困难。 今天，我们聚集在这里，是因为我选择用希望来战胜恐惧，用团结来战胜冲突与分歧。今天，我们来到这里将结束悲戚和错误的承诺，抛弃指责和教条主义这些扼杀我们政治的东西。我们仍然是一个年轻的国家，但现在应该摒弃充满孩子气的行为，重申我们不朽的精神；选择我们更好的历史；宏扬那些珍贵而且高尚的理念，并将这一代一代地传递下去。上帝认为天下众生皆平等，众生皆自由，而且都应该拥有追求幸福的机会。 在重申我们国家的伟大时，我们必须明白，伟大绝对不会是一种馈赠，而是要靠我们去努力争取。我们的征途从来没有捷径，也不属于那些胆怯懦弱、消谴工作或者只追求财富名利的人。为了我们，他们整理起自己不多的物品开始穿越

46、大海寻找新的生活；为了我们，他们在血汗工厂辛苦劳作，忍受着皮鞭的抽打并且犁开坚硬的土地；为了我们，他们在诸如康科得、盖茨堡、诺曼底等等地方作战并献出生命。这些男男女女们不停地奋斗和牺牲，一直工作直到双手生疼，目的只是为了过上更好一些的生活。在他们的眼中，美国比他们个人的报负更加重要，也比所有出身、财富或者宗派之间的差别更加重要。这就是我们今天仍在继续的征程。我们仍然是世界上最繁荣、最强大的国家。当这场危机开始后，我们工人的生产力并没有下降；我们的思想也没有失去创造力；我们现在需要的商品和服务，并没有比上周、上月或篇二：201X年奥巴马就职演讲稿 201X年奥巴马就职演讲稿 我的同胞们：今天我站

47、在这里，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微。我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。 迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。 前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。 现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中。我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨；国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更

48、为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。我们的人民正在失去家园，失去工作，很多企业倒闭。社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望，而且每天都会有新的证据显示，我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威胁着我们的星球。 统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。危机难以测量，但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀-现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免，我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。 今天我要说，我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战，而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。但是我们要相信，我们一定会度过难关。 今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，

49、摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。 今天，我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号，我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。 美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用圣经的话说，放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来，我们要为历史作出更好的选择，我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念：上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。 在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时，我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的，伟大需要努力赢得。（我们的民族一路走来），这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协，这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。这条路是勇于承担风险者之路，是实干家、创造者之路。这其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行，带领我们走向富强和自由。 为了我们，先辈们带着微薄的细软，横渡大洋，寻找新生活；为了我们，先辈们忍辱负重，用血汗浇铸工厂；为了我们，先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他乡；为了我们，先辈们奔赴（独立战争中的）康科德城和葛底斯堡、（二战中的）诺曼底、（越战中的）Khe Sahn，他们征战、死去。 一次又一次，我们的先辈们战斗着、牺牲着、操劳着，只为了我们可以生活得更好。在他们看来
