7、用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威逼着我们的星球。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 Americas decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。危机

The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gif

11、t, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用圣经的话说，放弃无趣的时代已经到来了。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，我们要秉承历史给予的珍贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的名贵理念：上帝给予我们每个人以同等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追
