奥巴马的演讲稿（中英对照）
My fellow citizens:我的同胞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.今天我站在这里，看到眼临的重大任务，深感卑微。
我你们对我的信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。
Forty-four 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。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. 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.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。
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。
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.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。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。
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.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。
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 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。
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 short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, 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.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。
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.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。
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.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，美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心，也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。
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.今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。
美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。
同危机初露端倪之时相比，美国人民的生产力依然旺盛；与上周、上个月或者去年相比，我们的头脑依然富于创造力，我们的商品和服务依然很有市场，我们的实力不曾削弱。
但是，可以肯定的是，轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。
从今天开始，我们必须跌倒后爬起来，拍拍身上的泥土，重新开始工作，重塑美国。
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.我目之所及，都有工作有待完成。
国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动，我们的确是要行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为（下一轮经济）增长打下新的基础。
我们将造桥铺路，为企业铺设电网和数字线路，将我们联系在一起。
我们将回归科学，运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量，降低医疗费用。
我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆，为工厂提供能源。
我们将改革中小学以及大专院校，以适应新时代的要求。
这一切，我们都能做到，而且我们都将会做到。
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.现在，有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了，他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。
他们是健忘了。
他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就；他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时，自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。
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.

Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. ~Henry David Thoreau迷失自我，才能发现自我。
——亨利·大卫·梭罗（美国作家及自然主义者）Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, then I would be forced to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by buying a house and a car. It seemed like a never-ending cycle that had no place for the possibility of a dream. 我们未来的一切似乎都模糊地设定好了，利用贷款上大学，然后为了还债被迫去找一份工作，还要为了买房买车背负更多的债务……这仿佛是一个无休止的循环，让我们的梦想没有实现的机会。
I want more—but not necessarily in the material sense of personal wealth and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion, a conceptual dream that wouldn't let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or shine, and have that zest for life that seemed so intrinsic in early childhood. 我们想要的更多——并不是对于个人财富和成功等物质性需求，我们对于生活，想要更多。
我想要热忱、有概念的梦想，让我不会空怀纯粹的兴奋入睡。
我希望能在早晨一跃起床，无论是阳光普照还是刮风下雨，也能对生活充满热情，就像我们的童年时固有的一样。
We all have a dream. It might be explicitly defined or just a vague idea, but most of us are so stuck in the muck of insecurity and self-doubt that we just dismiss it as unrealistic or too difficult to pursue. 我们都有梦想，无论它是明确的目标还是模糊的主意，但我们大多数人都受困于不安全和自我怀疑的泥泞里，我们把梦想看做是不现实的、难以追求的，最后放弃了。
We become so comfortable with the life that has been planned out for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and societal norms that we feel that it's stupid and unsafe to risk losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more fulfilling. 我们变得满足于父母、老师、传统及社会规条为我们营造的安逸生活。
为了那一点点能够为生活变得更充实的希望去冒险，我们会认为这是愚蠢和危险的。
The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk of all. ~Jawaharlal Nehru过于谨慎才是最大的危险——贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁（印度开国总理）Taking a risk is still a risk. We can, and will, fail. Possibly many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That uncertainty can be viewed negatively, or it can empower us. 冒险始终还是有风险。
我们，也有可能失败，还有可能是失败很多很多次。
但这会让我们更加兴奋。
不确定因素看起来有不利，但同时也能激励我们。
Failing is what makes us grow, it makes us stronger and more resilient to the aspects of life we have no control over. The fear of failure, although, is what makes us stagnant and sad. So even though I couldn't see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge in hopes that in the depths of fear and failure, I would come out feeling more alive than ever before. 失败能让我们成长，让我们更强大，让我们更能适应生活中难以控制的各个方面。
对于失败的恐惧，让我们停滞不前，悲伤不已。
尽管不能清晰地看见未来，在恐惧和失败的深渊里，我们也要保持希望，那么我们将活得更有生命力。
If you feel lost, just take a deep breath and realize that being lost can be turning point of finding out who you truly are, and what you truly want to do. 如果你迷失了自我，请深呼吸，迷失或许能成为你人生的转折点，让你发现真正的自己，并让你知道自己想真正成为怎样的人。
求一篇关于人类第一次登月的演讲稿，要全英文的，谢谢
On July 16, 1969, the three astronauts aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft. After the long journey into the orbit of the moon, here, sent two messengers ride Eagle in the lunar module landed on the lunar surface, began in human history since the moon landings. Captain Armstrong first walked the hatch platform, face the strange moon world gaze for a few minutes, move the right foot, three steps to stop climbing down the ladder. 5 meters high 9 steps, he spent 3 minutes! Then, his left foot and right foot to touch the moon with great care, still on the stairs. When he found his left foot into the lunar surface is small, the courage to the right foot on the moon. Then he said: this is a small step for a man, but it is a leap for mankind.!Unfortunately, the moon in front of Armstrong is a super Sahara without air, water and life . Have no to meet the moon goddess and goddess in the Moon Fairy, Wu Gang did not endorse the sweet scented osmanthus wine, to meet his is the deep black sky, gray brown dust and a piece of icy wilderness and silent world.18 minutes later, Aldrin also embarked on a lunar astronaut. They were wearing a spacesuit ghost in lunar swimming, jumping, shooting moonscape, collect lunar rock and regolith, installation of equipment, experiment and to the ground control center sends back information detection.After the event, they took the lunar module ascent to fly away from the moon, enter the orbit of the moon, and piloted by Collins, waiting in the lunar orbit on the command module rendezvous docking. 3 astronauts returned to earth by the command module, splashed down in the Pacific ocean.The flight lasted 8 days and 3 hours and 18 minutes, 21 hours and 18 minutes to stay on the moon. Time is short, but it is a historic feat. Astronauts on the moon left a monument to the following words: in the July 1969, the human beings on earth, on this first set foot on the moon, we represent the peace of all mankind.1969年716日，3名宇航员乘坐“阿波罗-11”号飞船过跋涉后进入月球轨道，在这派出2名使者转乘“鹰号”登月舱在降落到月面，，开始了人类有史以来的登月活动。
船长阿姆斯特朗首先走上舱门平台，面对陌生的月球世界凝视几分钟后，挪动右脚，一步三停地爬下扶梯。
5米高的9级台阶，他整整花了3分钟
随后，他的左脚小心翼翼地触及月面，而右脚仍然停留在台阶上。
当他发现左脚陷入月面很少时，才鼓起勇气将右脚踏上月面。
这时他说：“对一个人来说这是一小步，但对人类来说却是一个飞跃
” 遗憾的是，阿姆斯特朗眼前的月球世界是个没有空气、水和生命的“超级撒哈拉”。
月亮女神和嫦娥仙女没有来迎接，吴刚也未捧出桂花酒，迎接他的只是深黑色的天空、棕灰色的尘土和一片荒冰而死寂的世界。
18分钟后，宇航员奥尔德林也踏上月面。
他俩穿着宇航服幽灵似的在月面“游动”、跳跃，拍摄月面景色、收集月岩和月壤、安装仪器、进行实验和向地面控制中心发回探测信息。
活动结束后，他俩便乘登月舱上升段飞离月面，升入月球轨道，与由科林斯驾驶的、在月球轨道上等候的指挥舱会合对接。
3名宇航员共乘指挥舱返回地球，在太平洋溅落。
整个飞行历时8天3小时18分钟，在月面停留21小时18分钟。
时间虽然短暂，却是一次历史性的壮举。
宇航员们还在月球上留下刻有下述文字的“纪念碑”：公元1969年7月，地球行星上的人类，在此首次踏上月球，我们代表全人类的和平来此。

这个够牛了吧
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.100年前，一位伟大的美国人——今天我们就站在他象征性的身影下——签署了。
这项重要法令的颁布，对于千百万灼烤于非正义残焰中的黑奴，犹如带来希望之光的硕大灯塔，恰似结束漫漫长夜禁锢的欢畅黎明。
But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.然而，100年后，黑人依然没有获得自由。
100年后，黑人依然悲惨地蹒跚于种族隔离和的枷锁之下。
100年后，黑人依然生活在物质繁荣翰海的贫困孤岛上。
100年后，黑人依然在美国社会中间向隅而泣，依然感到自己在国土家园中流离漂泊。
所以，我们今天来到这里，要把这骇人听闻的情况公诸于众。
In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.从某种意义上说，我们来到国家的首都是为了兑现一张支票。
我们共和国的缔造者在拟写宪法和的辉煌篇章时，就签署了一张每一个美国人都能继承的期票。
这张期票向所有人承诺——不论白人还是黑人——都享有不可让渡的生存权、自由权和权。
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked insufficient funds. But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.然而，今天美国显然对她的有色公民拖欠着这张期票。
美国没有承兑这笔神圣的债务，而是开始给黑人一张空头支票——一张盖着“资金不足”的印戳被退回的支票。
但是，我们决不相信正义的银行会破产。
我们决不相信这个国家巨大的机会宝库会资金不足。
So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.因此，我们来兑现这张支票。
这张支票将给我们以宝贵的自由和正义的保障。
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.我们来到这块圣地还为了提醒美国：现在正是万分紧急的时刻。
现在不是从容不迫悠然行事或服用渐进主义镇静剂的时候。
现在是实现民主诺言的时候。
现在是走出幽暗荒凉的种族隔离深谷，踏上种族平等的阳关大道的时候。
现在是使我们国家走出种族不平等的流沙，踏上充满手足之情的磐石的时候。
现在是使上帝所有孩子真正享有公正的时候。
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.忽视这一时刻的紧迫性，对于国家将会是致命的。
自由平等的朗朗秋日不到来，黑人顺情合理哀怨的酷暑就不会过去。
1963年不是一个结束，而是一个开端。
Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.如果国家依然我行我素，那些希望黑人只需出出气就会心满意足的人将大失所望。
在黑人得到公民权之前，美国既不会安宁，也不会平静。
反抗的旋风将继续震撼我们国家的基石，直至光辉灿烂的正义之日来临。
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.但是，对于站在通向正义之宫艰险门槛上的人们，有一些话我必须要说。
在我们争取合法地位的过程中，切不要错误行事导致犯罪。
我们切不要吞饮仇恨辛酸的苦酒，来解除对于自由的饮渴。
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.我们应该永远得体地、纪律严明地进行斗争。
我们不能容许我们富有创造性的抗议沦为暴力行动。
我们应该不断升华到用对付肉体力量的崇高境界。
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.席卷黑人社会的新的奇迹般的，不应导致我们对所有白人的不信任——因为许多白人兄弟已经认识到：他们的命运同我们的命运紧密相连，他们的自由同我们的自由休戚相关。
他们今天来到这里参加集会就是明证。
We cannot walk alone.And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, When will you be satisfied? We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.我们不能单独行动。
当我们行动时，我们必须保证勇往直前。
我们不能后退。
有人问热心民权运动的人：“你们什么时候会感到满意
”只要黑人依然是不堪形容的警察暴行恐怖的牺牲品，我们就决不会满意。
只要我们在旅途劳顿后，却被公路旁汽车游客旅社和城市旅馆拒之门外，我们就决不会满意。
只要黑人的基本活动范围只限于从狭小的黑人居住区到较大的黑人居住区，我们就决不会满意。
只要我们的孩子被“仅供白人”的牌子剥夺个性，损毁尊严，我们就决不会满意。
只要的黑人不能参加选举，纽约州的黑人认为他们与选举毫不相干，我们就决不会满意。
不，不，我们不会满意，直至公正似水奔流，正义如泉喷涌。
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.我并非没有注意到你们有些人历尽艰难困苦来到这里。
你们有些人刚刚走出狭小的牢房。
有些人来自因追求自由而遭受迫害风暴袭击和警察暴虐狂飙摧残的地区。
你们饱经风霜，历尽苦难。
继续努力吧，要相信：无辜受苦终得拯救。
Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.回到密西西比去吧；回到亚拉巴马去吧；回到去吧；回到佐治亚去吧；回到路易斯安那去吧；回到我们北方城市中的贫民窟和黑人居住区去吧。
要知道，这种情况能够而且将会改变。
我们切不要在绝望的深渊里沉沦。
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.朋友们，今天我要对你们说，尽管眼下困难重重，但我依然怀有一个梦。
这个梦深深植根于美国梦之中。
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.我梦想有一天，这个国家将会奋起，实现其立国信条的真谛：“我们认为这些真理不言而喻：人人生而平等。
”I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.我梦想有一天，在的红色山岗上，昔日奴隶的儿子能够同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐，亲如手足。
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.我梦想有一天，甚至连——一个非正义和压迫的热浪逼人的荒漠之州，也会改造成为自由和公正的青青绿洲。
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.我梦想有一天，我的四个小女儿将生活在一个不是以皮肤的颜色，而是以品格的优劣作为评判标准的国家里。
I have a dream today.我今天怀有一个梦。
I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.我梦想有一天，会有所改变——尽管该州州长现在仍滔滔不绝地说什么要对联邦法令提出异议和拒绝执行——在那里，黑人儿童能够和白人儿童兄弟姐妹般地携手并行。
I have a dream today.我今天怀有一个梦。
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.我梦想有一天，深谷弥合，高山夷平，歧路化坦途，曲径成通衢，上帝的光华再现，普天下生灵共谒。
This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.这是我们的希望。
这是我将带回南方去的信念。
有了这个信念，我们就能绝望之山开采出希望之石。
有了这个信念，我们就能把这个国家的嘈杂刺耳的争吵声，变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。
有了这个信念，我们就能一同工作，一同祈祷，一同斗争，一同入狱，一同维护自由，因为我们知道，我们终有一天会获得自由。
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.从到了这一天，上帝的所有孩子都能以新的含义高唱这首歌：我的祖国，可爱的自由之邦，我为您歌唱。
这是我祖先终老的地方，这是早期移民自豪的地方，让自由之声，响彻每一座山岗。
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.如果美国要成为伟大的国家，这一点必须实现。
因此，让自由之声响彻新罕布什尔州的巍峨高峰
让自由之声响彻纽约州的崇山峻岭
让自由之声响彻宾夕法尼亚州的阿勒格尼高峰
让自由之声响彻科罗拉多州冰雪皑皑的洛基山
让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰
不，不仅如此；让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山
让自由之声响彻田纳西州的望山
让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰，一个个土丘
让自由之声响彻每一个山岗
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!当我们让自由之声轰响，当我们让自由之声响彻每一个大村小庄，每一个州府城镇，我们就能加速这一天的到来。
那时，上帝的所有孩子，黑人和白人，犹太教徒和非犹太教徒，耶稣教徒和天主教徒，将能携手同唱那首古老的黑人灵歌：“终于自由了
终于自由了
感谢全能的上帝，我们终于自由了
”
奥巴马最著名的演讲是哪一次?
是不同时期起到不同作用的演讲，你看喜欢篇吧。
第一篇 The Audacity of Hope有希望则无所畏惧奥巴马在美国民主党全国代表大会上的主题演讲，是令奥巴马从美国一个小州（伊利诺伊州）走向白宫的一次具有里程碑意义的重要演讲。
本次演讲对于时年43岁的奥巴马来说也是一次重大考验，是一个向全党、全国及全世界推销自己的绝好机会，成功则能威名远扬，失败则可能会黯然退出民主党的政治中心。
事实证明奥巴马没有辜负民主党元老们的重托，演讲取得了巨大成功，为其在党内的地位奠定了坚实的基础，也为其以后的大选奠定了基础。
第二篇 Change Is Coming to America变革正向美国走来这是奥巴马在艾奥瓦州初选获胜的演讲。
奥巴马进行此番演讲时，两党的选情都呈胶着状态，民主党方面尤其如此。
前第一夫人希拉里·克林顿与参议员巴拉克·奥巴马短兵相接，在不同的民意调查中分别领先。
奥巴马在艾奥瓦州的胜出对于年轻气盛但经验远远不够丰富的他来说不亚于久旱后的甘雨，来得恰是时候。
开局的胜利让奥巴马踌躇满志，信心倍增，因此他1月3日的胜选演讲可谓如行云流水，一气呵成，气势如虹，气吞山河，而在场的上千名观众听得也是如醉如痴，欢声雷动。
第三篇 A More Perfect Union更加完善的联邦这是奥巴马在宾夕法尼亚州费城发表的演讲，也是他在参选以后第一次就种族问题发表公开演讲。
2008年初的初选过程中，奥巴马皈依的芝加哥圣三位一体联合基督教教会牧师赖特以前在布道时发表的一些仇恨白人和反美的激情演讲片段被媒体公布，全国顿时一片哗然，奥巴马顿时陷入严重的信任危机。
3月18日，奥巴马在费城美国宪法中心发表了此篇深入探讨美国种族问题的演讲，获得好评如潮，成功地走出了信任危机。
本篇译文参考了王道余先生发表在互联网上的译文，在此向他致谢。
第四篇 Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.缅怀马丁·路德·金这番演讲发表于印第安纳州纪念马丁·路德·金遇刺40周年的集会上。
在此番演讲中，奥巴马号召美国人民继续金博士终生追求的事业——追求社会正义和经济正义，并指出要实现马丁·路德·金的美国梦还有很长的路要走。
本文大量引用了马丁·路德·金在被刺杀前夕的布道演讲“I've been to the mountaintop”。
第五篇 Yes We Can是的，我们能本次演讲是奥巴马在北卡罗来纳州初选获胜的感言，地点是在北卡罗来纳州州立大学的雷诺兹体育馆。
从1月3日初选开始以来，为赢取党内提名，奥巴马和希拉里展开了旷日持久、势均力敌的争夺战，两大选举阵营投入了大量人力和物力进行选举宣传战，彼此互有攻击。
但因为希拉里在选举人票数上一直落后于奥巴马，所以她的选举阵营就加大了对奥巴马的攻击力度。
在本次演讲中，奥巴马强调了民主党要团结一致对抗共和党候选人麦凯恩。
第六篇 The Future Lies Ahead未来就在前方这是奥巴马于2008年5月25日在康涅狄格州的卫斯理公会大学毕业生典礼上的演讲稿。
演讲人原定的是参议员Edward M. Kennedy，但由于他被诊断患有恶性脑瘤而送院治疗，奥巴马临危受命代替肯尼迪前往演讲，同时接受该校为其授予的名誉法学博士学位。
在本次演讲中，奥巴马敦促毕业生要积极投身于社区服务工作。
The Atlantic杂志资深记者、曾任美国前总统吉米·卡特首席白宫讲稿撰写人的James Fallows曾对奥巴马的本篇演讲稿大加赞赏，认为奥巴马“has gotten better at the necessary poetry of ceremonial speaking” 并且“passed that test”。
该演讲必将成为毕业典礼演讲的典范。
第七篇 Their Lives Are a Model for Us All他们是我们学习的榜样这是奥巴马2008年5月26日在阵亡将士纪念日集会上的演讲，地点为美国新墨西哥州，听众中大部分为军人。
Memorial Day是美国大多数州都要纪念的节日，时间为5月的最后一个星期一。
美国总统同时也是三军总司令，所以争取得到军人的支持尤显重要，奥巴马利用阵亡将士纪念日向美国军人表示敬意，一方面是他真情的流露，另一方面也是选举的需要。
该篇演讲短小精悍，感人至深。
第八篇 Our Responsibility as Fathers父亲的责任奥巴马2008年6月15日在芝加哥南部的上帝使徒教堂参加周日礼拜（Sunday Services）时发表了演讲，该日正好是父亲节（6月的第三个周日）。
奥巴马结合自己的身世就父亲在家庭社会的责任发表演讲。
他批评美国父亲在家庭中父亲角色的缺失，敦促他们、尤其是黑人父亲在抚养子女方面承担起更多的责任。
奥巴马的这篇演讲获得普遍好评，加深了人们对他是个有责任感的总统候选人的印象。
从演讲中可以看出，他强调的竞争是一种“追求卓越”，同时又要兼具“同理心”的价值观。
他的强者观念是：“把别人击倒的人不是强者，把别人扶起来的人才是强者”。
第九篇 The America We Love我们所热爱的美国这是奥巴马2008年6月30日在杜鲁门总统的故乡密苏里州独立城所作的演讲。
自从奥巴马参选美国总统以来，竞争对手一直利用他非裔美国人的身份质疑并攻击他的爱国情怀，比如批评他没有佩戴国旗胸针、没有宣誓对美国效忠，攻击他唱国歌时没有把手放在胸口等等。
在这样真真假假的媒体攻势下，大批选民被蒙蔽，开始怀疑奥巴马是否是一个爱国者。
为此，奥巴马特意选择了7月4日美国国庆节到来之前发表本演讲，向美国选民表明他的爱国之心，同时向人们阐明何谓爱国，何谓不爱国。
第十篇 Veterans Should be Honored向老兵致敬奥巴马的选举力量来自基层民众，但是美国总统同时也是三军总司令，所以争取得到军人的支持尤显重要。
基于自己并没有在军队服过役，更没有对手麦凯恩的赫赫战功可以向世人炫耀，奥巴马利用美国国庆前夕向退伍军人表示敬意，这一方面是他真情的流露，另一方面也是选举的需要。
尽管美国北达科他州历来是共和党的天下，即所谓的红州，但奥巴马仍不放弃任何机会，充分发挥自己的演讲优势，第二次到该州演讲拉选票，他的竞选官员相信奥巴马有机会赢得该州的选票。
不过最后还是麦凯恩赢得了该州的选举人票。
第十一篇 The America's Promise美国的承诺2008年8月28日是美国民主党历史上值得大书特书的日子，因为在这一天奥巴马被正式提名为民主党的美国总统候选人，代表民主党参加2008年11月4日美国总统大选，这是美国历史上第一位获得党内提名参加总统大选的黑人。
本篇演讲是奥巴马在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的民主党全国代表大会上正式接受提名时向在场的八万四千多名来自全国的民主党党员发表的里程碑式演讲。
可以说，至此奥巴马已经创造了历史。
第十二篇 Financial Crisis Requires Action金融危机需要我们行动起来这是2008年10月17日奥巴马在弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克市的演讲，针对美国愈演愈烈的金融危机以及麦凯恩开出的治国政策，给出了自己的大政方针。
他用雄辩的事实和辛辣但不刺耳的语言有力回击了麦凯恩阵营的攻击。
有些共和党的死硬派听了奥巴马的演讲后也转变了立场，改为拥护奥巴马。
第十三篇 This Is Your Victory这是美国人民的胜利2008年11月4日，奥巴马成为美国历史上第一位黑人总统。
奥巴马当晚在其芝加哥的竞选总部向现场15000名支持者发表了胜选演讲，演讲谈古论今、旁征博引、气势磅礴、文采华丽，为奥巴马历时两年的竞选之路画上了圆满的句号。
第十四篇 New Era of Responsibility (Inaugural Speech)开创负责任的新时代（就职演说）2009年1月20日，近200万美国民众聚集在华盛顿的国家广场（National Mall），在这个1963年马丁路德金高呼“I have a dream”的地方，见证美国历史上第一位黑人总统的诞生。
中午12点刚过，奥巴马将手放在林肯1861年宣誓就职时用过的《圣经》上宣誓就任美国第44任总统。
整个演说振奋人心，充满着对美国历史的追溯和对未来生活的希望。
震撼世界的演讲《梦想》英语演讲稿
I don’t know what that dream is that you have, I don’t care how disappointing it might have been as you’ve been working toward that dream, but that dream that you’re holding in your mind, that it’s possible!Some of you already know, that it’s hard, it’s not easy, it’s hard changing your life. That in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. There are moments that you are going to doubt yourself. You said, God why is this happening to me? I’m just trying to take care of my family, trying to give them a good life, I’m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. Why does this have to happen to me. For those of you that have experienced some hardships – don’t give up on your dream.The rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, God like feature that only the special among can achieve. It’s something that truly exists, in all of us. It’s very important for you to believe that you are the one!Most people they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, the stop pushing themselves. Then a lot of people like to complain but they don’t wanna do anything about their situation. And most people don’t work on their dreams – why?1. Is because of fear, fear of failure “what if things don’t work out“?2. Is fair of success “what if they do and I can’t handle it?”These are not risk takersYou have spent so much time with other people, you have spent so much time trying to get people to like you, you know other people more than you know yourself. You’ve studied them, you know about them, you want to hang out with them, you want to be just like them. You’ve invested so much time on them, you don’t know who you are. I challenge you to spend time by yourself.It’s necessary, that you get the losers out of your life, if you want to live your dream. But people who are running towards their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning. When you become the ‘right-person’, what you do is you start separating yourself from other people you begin to have a certain uniqueness, as long as you follow other people, as long as you are being a ‘copy-cat’, you will never ever be the best copy-cat in the world but you will be the best you can be!I challenge you to define your value.Everybody won’t see it, everybody won’t join you, everybody won’t have the vision…it’s necessary to know that you are an uncommon breed. It’s necessary that you align yourself with people and attract people into your business, who are hungry, people who are unstoppable and unreasonable, people who are refusing to live life just as it is and who want more!The people that are living their dreams are parting with winners, to attach themselves to the and the people who are living their dreams are the people that know that if it’s going to happen it’s up to them!If you want to be more successful, if you want to have and do stuff you never done before then I’m asking you to invest in you!Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality.You don’t have to go through life being a victim. And even though you face disappointments, you have to know within yourself that ‘I can do this, even if no one else sees it for me, I must see it for myself!’No matter how bad it is, how hard it gets, say to yourself, I’m going to make it!I wanna represent an idea. I wanna represent possibilities. Some of you right now, you wanna go to the next level. You wanna be a civil engineer, you wanna council, you wanna be a doctor.Listen to me: You can’t get to that level. You can’t get to that level until you start to invest in your mindI dare you to invest in your mind.I dare you to invest time.I dare you to be alone.I dare you to spend an HOUR alone to get to know yourself.I challenge you to get to a place where people do not like or do not even bother you anymore. Why? Because you’re not concerned with making them happy anyway. Because you’re trying to blow up. You’re trying to get to the next level. Because you’re investing in your mind.If you’re still talking about your dream and your goals but you have not done anything just TAKE THE FIRST STEP.You can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud you can touch millions of peoples lives and the world will never be the same again because you came this way. Don’t let anybody steal your dream!After we face a rejection and a “no” or we have a meeting and no one shows up, or somebody says “you can count on me” and they don’t come through, what if we have that kind of attitude that cause reposes, nobody believes in you, you’ve lost again, and again, the lights are cut off but you are still looking at your dream, reviewing it everyday and saying to yourself: IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN!You can live your dream!是这个吗
世界经典著名演讲稿
美国当地1月20日上午12点05分(北京时间21日凌晨1点05分)，第44届美国总巴马发表了就职演说。
为演讲全文实录： 我的同胞们， 今天我站在这里，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，很多且要倒闭。
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，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 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，美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心，也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。
今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。
美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。
同危机初露端倪之时相比，美国人民的生产力依然旺盛;与上周、上个月或者去年相比，我们的头脑依然富于创造力，我们的商品和服务依然很有市场，我们的实力不曾削弱。
但是，可以肯定的是，轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。
从今天开始，我们必须跌倒后爬起来，拍拍身上的泥土，重新开始工作，重塑美国。
我目之所及，都有工作有待完成。
国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动，我们的确是要行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为(下一轮经济)增长打下新的基础。
我们将造桥铺路，为企业铺设电网和数字线路，将我们联系在一起。
我们将回归科学，运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量，降低医疗费用。
我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆，为工厂提供能源。
我们将改革中小学以及大专院校，以适应新时代的要求。
这一切，我们都能做到，而且我们都将会做到。
现在，有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了，他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。
他们是健忘了。
他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就;他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时，自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。
这些怀疑论者的错误在于，他们没有意识到政治现实已经发生了变化，长期以来耗掉我们太多精力的陈腐政治论争已经不再适用。
今天，我们的问题不在于政府的大小，而在于政府能否起作用，政府能否帮助家庭找到薪水合适的工作、给他们可以负担得起的医疗保障并让他们体面地退休。
哪个方案能给与肯定的答案，我们就推进哪个方案。
哪个方案的答案是否定的，我们就选择终止。
而掌管纳税人税金的人应当承担起责任，合理支出，摒弃陋习，磊落做事，这有这样才能在政府和人民之间重建至关重要的相互信任。
我们面临的问题也不是市场好坏的问题。
市场创造财富、拓展自由的能力无可匹敌，但是这场危机提醒我们，如果没有监管，市场很可能就会失去控制，而且偏袒富人国家的繁荣无法持久。
国家经济的成败不仅仅取决于国内生产总值的大小，而且取决于繁荣的覆盖面，取决于我们是否有能力让所有有意愿的人都有机会走向富裕。
我们这样做不是慈善，而是因为这是确保实现共同利益的途径。
就共同防御而言，我们认为国家安全与国家理想的只能选其一的排他选择是错的。
面对我们几乎无法想像的危险，我们的先辈们起草了确保法治和个人权利的宪章。
一代代人民的鲜血夯实了这一宪章。
宪章中的理想依然照亮着世界，我们不能以经验之谈放弃这些理想。
因此我想对正在观看这一仪式的其他国家的人民和政府说，不论他们现在各国伟大的首府还是在如同我父亲出生地一般的小村落，我想让他们知道：对于每个追求和平和自尊的国家和个人而言，美国都是朋友，我们愿意再次领导大家踏上追寻之旅。
回想先辈们在抵抗法西斯主义之时，他们不仅依靠手中的导弹或坦克，他们还依靠稳固的联盟和坚定的信仰。
他们深知单凭自己的力量我们无法保护自己，他们也深知我们强大并不足以使我们有权利为所欲为。
他们明白，正是因为使用谨慎，我们的实力才不断增强;正是因为我们的事业是公正的、我们为世界树立了榜样，因为我们的谦卑和节制，我们才安全。
我们继承了这些遗产。
在这些原则的再次领导下，我们有能力应对新的威胁，我们需要付出更多的努力、进行国家间更广泛的合作以及增进国家间的理解。
首先，我们将以负责任的态度，将伊拉克交还给伊拉克人民，同时巩固阿富汗来之不易的和平。
对于老朋友和老对手，我们将继续努力，不遗余力，削弱核威胁，遏制全球变暖的幽灵。
我们不会为我们的生活方式感到报歉，我们会不动摇地捍卫我们的生活方式。
对于那些企图通过恐怖主义或屠杀无辜平民达成目标的人，我们要对他们说：我们的信仰更加坚定，不可动摇，你们不可能拖垮我们，我们定将战胜你们。
因为我们知道，我们的多元化遗产是一个优势，而非劣势。
我们国家里有基督徒也有穆斯林，有犹太教徒也有印度教徒，同时也有非宗教信徒。
我们民族的成长受到许多语言和文化的影响，我们吸取了这个星球上任何一个角落的有益成分。
正是因为我们民族曾亲尝过内战和种族隔离的苦酒，并且在经历了这些黑色的篇章之后变得更加强大更加团结，因此我们不由自主，只能相信一切仇恨终有一天都会成为过去，种族的划分不久就会消失，而且随着世界变得越来越小，我们相信终有一天人类共有的人性品德将会自动显现。
在迎接新的和平时代到来的过程中，美国需要发挥自己的作用。
上一页 [1] [2] [3] 下一页 思索前方的路，我们无时无刻不在铭记那些远征沙漠和偏远山区的英勇美国战士，对他们充满了感激之情，他们和那些安息在阿灵顿国家公墓之下的战争英雄们一样，给与我们启示。
我们尊敬他们，不仅因为他们是自由的守护者，还因为他们代表的是为国家服务的精神，他们自愿追寻比自身的价值更伟大的意义(美国国家之伟大)。
此时此刻，在这个要塑造一代人的时刻，我们需要的正是这样一种精神。
因为无论美国政府能做多少，必须做多少，美国国家的立国之本最终还是美国人的决心和信念。
于防洪堤坝决堤之时收留陌生受难者的善意，于在经济不景气的时候宁愿减少自己工时也不肯看着朋友失业的无私，正是他们支撑我们走过黑暗的时刻。
消防队员冲入满是浓烟的楼梯抢救生命的勇气，父母养育孩子的坚持，正是这些决定了我们的命运。
我们面临的挑战也许是新的，我们应对挑战的措施也许也是新的，但那些长期以来指导我们成功的价值观——勤奋、诚实、勇气、公平竞争、包容以及对世界保持好奇心，还有对国家的忠诚和爱国主义——却是历久弥新，这些价值观是可靠的。
他们是创造美国历史的无声力量。
我们现在需要的就是回归这些古老的价值观。
我们需要一个新的负责任的时代，一个觉醒的时代，每个国人都应意识到即我们对自己、对国家和世界负有责任，我们不应该不情愿地接受这些责任，而应该快乐地承担起这些责任。
我们应该坚定这一认识，即没有什么比全身心投入一项艰巨的工作更能锻炼我们的性格，更能获得精神上的满足。
这是公民应尽的义务，应做出的承诺。
我们自信源于对上帝的信仰，上帝号召我们要掌握自己的命运。
这就是我们自由和信仰的意义，这也是为何不同种族、不同信仰、不同性别和年龄的人可以同聚一堂在此欢庆的原因，也是我今天能站在这里庄严宣誓的原因，而在50多年前我的父亲甚至都不能成为地方餐馆的服务生。
所以，让我们铭记自己的身份，镌刻自己的足迹。
在美国诞生的时代，那最寒冷的岁月里，一群勇敢的爱国人士围着篝火在冰封的河边取暖。
首都被占领，敌人在挺进，冬天的雪被鲜血染成了红色。
在美国大革命最受质疑的时刻，我们的国父们这样说： “我们要让未来的世界知道……在深冬的严寒里，唯有希望和勇气才能让我们存活……面对共同的危险时，我们的城市和国家要勇敢地上前去面对。
” 今天的美国也在严峻的寒冬中面对共同的挑战，让我们记住国父们不朽的语言。
带着希望和勇气，让我们再一次勇敢地面对寒流，迎接可能会发生的风暴。
我们要让我们的子孙后代记住，在面临挑战的时候，我们没有屈服，我们没有逃避也没有犹豫，我们脚踏实地、心怀信仰，秉承了宝贵的自由权利并将其安全地交到了下一代的手中。
