2016奥巴马就职演讲稿

1 / 52 2016 奥巴马就职演讲稿 奥巴马英文就职演讲稿 if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, latino, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states: we are, and always will be, the united states 2 / 52 of america. its the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. i just received a very gracious call from senator mccain. he fought long and hard in this campaign, and hes fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. i congratulate him and governor palin for all they have achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nations promise in the months want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of scranton and rode with on that train home to delaware, the vice 3 / 52 president-elect of the united states, joe biden. i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my bestto my campaign manager david plouffe, my chief strategist david axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done. but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you. i was never the likeliest candidate for this office. we didnt start with much money or many endorsements. our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington - it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. it grew strength 4 / 52 from the young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. this is your victory. i know you didnt do this just to win an election and i know you didnt do it for me. you did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. for even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave americans waking 5 / 52 up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us. there are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how theyll make the mortgage, or pay their doctors bills, or save enough for college. there is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to road ahead will be long. our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even one term, but america - i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there. i promise you - we as a people will get there. there will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who wont agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government cant solve every problem. but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you, especially when we disagree. and 6 / 52 above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way its been done in america for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. what began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. this victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. it cannot happen without let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, its that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one 7 / 52 people. let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. those are values we all share, and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal thedivides that have held back our progress. as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies, but friends.though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. and to those americans whose support i have yet to earn - i may not have won your vote, but i hear your voices, i need your help, and i will be your president too. for that is the true genius of america - that america can change. 8 / 52 our union can be perfected. and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. but one thats on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta. shes a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - ann nixon cooper is 106 years was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldnt vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin. and tonight, i think about all that shes seen throughout her century in america - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we cant, and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes we a time when womens voices 9 / 52 were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. yes we can. when there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she sawwhen the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. yes we man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in america, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how america can change. yes we can. this is our chance to answer that call. this is our moment. this is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm 10 / 52 that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we cant, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:yes we can. thank you, god bless you, and may god bless the united states of america. 篇二： 2016 年奥巴马就职演讲稿 英文版 mr. obama: vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our constitution. we affirm the promise of our democracy. we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. what makes us exceptional what makes us american is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two 11 / 52 centuries ago: “ we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth. the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. they gave to us a republic, a government of, 1 and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed. for more than two hundred years, we blood drawn by lash and blood 12 / 52 drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. we made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward , we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life s worst hazards and misfortune. through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society s ills can be cured through government alone. our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately 2 this generation of americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve 13 / 52 and proved our resilience. a decade of war is now ending. an economic recovery has begun. america s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. my fellow americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it so long as we seize it together. for we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. we believe that america s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. we know that america thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest 3 poverty knows that she has the same chance 14 / 52 to succeed as anybody else, because she is an american, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of god but also in our own. we understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. we must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. but while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single american. that is what this moment requires. that is what will give real meaning to our creed. to each other through medicare, and medicaid, and social security these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. they do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country , the people, still believe that 15 / 52 enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too 5 篇三：奥巴马 就职演讲稿 -以下为演讲全文 -如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑，还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的 时代是否依然鲜活，还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，这些问题都有了答案。这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时 的选民所给出的答案，其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不 一样，认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案无论老少贫富 ，无论是民主党还是共和党，无论 是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民，是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人 我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营，我们是美利坚合众国这个整体，永远都是。长久以来，很多人16 / 52 一再受到告诫，要对我们所能取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能 事，但这个答案让这些人伸出手来把握历史，再次让它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。 已经过去了这么长时间，但今晚，由于我们在今天、在这场大选中、在这个具有决定性 的时刻所做的，美国已经迎来了变革。 我 刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。他在这场大选中经过了长时间的努力奋斗， 而他为自己所深爱的这个国家奋斗的时间更长、过程更艰辛。他为美国做出了我们大多数人 难以想像的牺牲，我们的生活也因这位勇敢无私的领袖所做出的贡献而变得更美好。我向他 和佩林州长所取得的成绩表示祝贺，我也期待着与他们一起在未来的岁月中为复兴这个国家 的希望而共同努力。 我要感谢我在这次旅程中的伙伴已当选美国副总统的拜登。他全心参与竞选活动， 为普通民众代言，他们是他在斯 克兰顿从小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉华的火车上遇到的 男男女女。 如果没有一个人的坚决支持，我今晚就不会站在这里，她是我过去 16 年来最好的朋友、 是我们一家人的中坚和我一生的挚爱，更是我们国17 / 52 家的下一位第一夫人：米歇尔奥巴马 。萨莎和玛丽亚，我太爱你们两个了，你们已经得到了一 条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入驻白宫。虽然我的外祖母已经不在了，但我知道她与我的亲 人肯定都在看着我，因为他们，我才能拥有今天的成就。今晚，我想念他们，我知道自己欠 他们的无可计量。 我的竞选经理大卫普劳夫、首席策略师大卫艾克斯罗德以及政治史上最好的竞选团队是你们成就了今天，我永远感激你们为实现今天 的成就所做出的牺牲。但最重要的是，我永远不会忘记这场胜利真正的归属它属于你们。 我从来不是最有希望的候选人。一开始，我们没有太多资金，也没有得到太多人的支持。 我们的竞选活动并非诞生于华盛顿的高门华第之内，而是始于得梅因、康科德、查尔斯顿这 些地方的普通民众家中。 我们的竞选活动能有今天的规模，是因为辛勤工作的人们从自己的 微薄积蓄中拿出钱来， 捐出一笔又一笔 5 美元、 10 美元、 20 美元。而竞选活动的声势越来越大则是源自那些年轻人， 他们拒绝接受认为他们这代人冷漠的荒诞说法；他18 / 52 们离开家、离开亲人，从事报酬微薄、极 其辛苦的工作；同时也源自那些已经不算年轻的人们，他们冒着严寒酷暑，敲开陌生人的家 门进行竞选宣传；更源自数百万的美国民众，他们自动自发地组织起来，证明了在两百多年 以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。这是你们的胜利。我知道你们的所做所为并不只是为了赢 得大选，我也知道你们做这一切并不是为了我。 奥巴马 2016年就职演讲中英文对照北京时间 1月 22日凌晨，贝拉克侯赛因奥巴马宣誓就职第四十四任美利坚合众国总 统并发表就职演说。奥巴马在演讲中追溯美国民主传统和宪法精神，强调了民众的力量。演 讲中涉及了包括就业、医保、移民和同性恋等多项议题，以下为奥巴马就职演说全文： mr. obama: thank you. thank you so much. vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:谢谢，非常感谢大家。拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、 亲爱的公民们。 19 / 52 each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our constitution. we affirm the promise of our democracy. we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. what makes us exceptional what makes us american is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。我们都是在肯定美国民 主的承诺。我们重申，将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们的肤色，也不是 我们信仰的教 条，更不是我们名字的来源。让我们与众不同，让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的 恪守。 200 多年前，这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述： “ we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they areendowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are 20 / 52 life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” “我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权 利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。” today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth. the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. they gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.今天，我们继续着这一未竟的征程，架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。因为历 史告诉我们，即便这些真理是不言而喻的，它们也从来不会自动生效。因为虽 然自由是上帝 赋予的礼物，但仍需要世间的子民去捍卫。 1776 年，21 / 52 美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王 的暴政而战，也不是为赢得少数人的特权，建立暴民的 统治。先驱们留给我们一个共和国， 一个民有、民治、民享的政府。他们委托每一代美国人捍卫我们的建国信条。 for more than two hundred years, we have. 在过去的 200 多年里，我们做到了。 through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. we made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together. 从奴役的血腥枷锁和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了，建立在自由与平等原则之 上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由的状态。我们赢得了新生，誓言共同前进。 我们共同努力，建立起现代的经济体系。架设铁路与高速公路，加速了旅行和商业交流。 建立学校与大学，培训我们的工人。我们一起发现，自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。 together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life s worst hazards and misfortune. 我22 / 52 们共同决定让这个伟大的国家远离危险，保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸的侵扰。 through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society s ills can be cured through government alone. our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character. 一路走来，我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。我们同样不屈服于这一谎言：一切的社会弊 端 都能够只靠政府来解决。我们对积极向上与奋发进取的赞扬，我们对努力工作与个人责任的 坚持，这些都是美国精神的基本要义。 but we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. for the american people 我们也理解，时代在变化，我们同样需要变
