inaugural addre of barack obama january 20,2009 my fellow citizens: 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. 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. so it has been.so it must be with this generation of americans. 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; businees shuttered.our health care 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. these are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics.le measurable but no le profound is a sapping of confidence acro our landthey will be met. on this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. in reaffirming the greatne of our nation, we understand that greatne is never a given.it must be earned.our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for le.it has not been the path for the faint-heartedsome celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. for us, they packed up their few worldly poeions and traveled acro 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 sanh.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. this is the journey we continue today.we remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on earth.our workers are no le productive than when this crisis began.our minds are no le inventive, our goods and services no le 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 decisionsthat 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 worksto spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our busine in the light of dayeven greater cooperation and understanding between nations.we will begin to responsibly leave iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in afghanistan.with old friends and former foes, we will work tirelely to leen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet.we will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you. for we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakne.we are a nation of christians and muslims, jews and hindusknow that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.to those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dient, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. to the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds.and to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect.for the world has changed, and we must change with it. as we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains.they have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in arlington whisper through the ages.we honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingne to find meaning in something greater than themselves.and yet, at this momentit is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all. for as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the american people upon which this nation relies.it is the kindne to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflene of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours.it is the firefighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingne to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate. our challenges may be new.the instruments with which we meet them may be new.but those values upon which our succe dependsthese things are old.these things are true.they have been the quiet force of progre throughout our history.what is demanded then is a return to these truths.what is required of us now is a new era of responsibilitythe knowledge that god calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny. this is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration acro this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father le than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath. 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2：2009年奥巴马就职演讲稿 2009年奥巴马就职演讲稿
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，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，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，我们会不动摇地扞卫我们的生活方式。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。
对于穆斯林世界，我们将基于共同的利益和信仰，寻找更好的合作之路。对于那些在世界各个地方挑起冲突或一味批评西方不良影响的领导者：你的人民评判你的依据是你建立了什么，而不是破坏了什么。对于那些依靠腐败和欺骗并压制异议而追求权利的人们：你们站在了人类历史的对立面。如果你们能张开紧握的拳头，我们也将伸出友谊之手。
对于那些贫穷的人们，我们保证和你们一起建设繁茂的农场和干净的水源，滋养那些饥寒交迫的身体和心灵。对于那些与我们一样相对富裕的国家，我们不能再对外界的苦难漠不关心，更不能继续大肆索取世界的资源。世界必须改变，我们都必须改变。
当我们审视前方的道路时，我们会感激那些跨越千山万水来到这里的人们。今天，他们有话对我们说，也是安息在阿林顿国家公墓里的先烈们时刻提醒我们的。我们尊敬他们不仅因为是他们捍卫了我们的自由，更因为他们正是奉献精神的化身；他们致力于寻找远高于自身的生命真谛。而此时，在这个特殊的时代，我们更需让这种精神长存。 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。篇3：2009奥巴马就职演讲稿中英文对照

各位同胞：
今天我站在这里，为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑，对各位的信任心怀感激，对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务，也感谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。
四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言，这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表，或是在乌云密布，时局动荡之时。在艰困的时候，美国能箕裘相继，不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景，也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心，也忠於创建我国的法统。
因此，美国才能承继下来。因此，这一代美国人也必须承继下去。
现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正在与四处蔓延的 暴力和憎恨作战。我们的经济元气大伤——这既是某些人贪婪且不负责任的後果，也是大众未能做出艰难的选择，对国家进入新时代做准备不足所致。许多人失去房 子，丢了工作，生意萧条。我们的医疗太昂贵，学校教育让人失望。每天都有更多证据显示，我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌，威胁我们的星球。
这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。比较无法测量但同样深沉的，是举国信心尽失——持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退，也害怕下一代一定会眼界变低。
今天我要告诉各位，我们面临的挑战是真的，挑战非常严重，且不在少数。它们不是可以轻易，或在短时间内解决。但是，美国要了解，这些挑战会被解决。
在这一天，我们聚在一起，因为我们选择希望而非恐惧，有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。篇4：2009年奥巴马就职演讲
我今天站在这，为我们眼前的任务感到谦卑，为你们给我的信任感激，为我们先人的牺牲不忘怀。我多谢乔治布什总统对国家的服务，以及他在整个权力过渡过程展示的慷慨和合作。
至今44位美国人宣读过总统誓词。这些言词在繁荣潮起、在和平的风平浪静中说过，但很多时候，誓词是在阴霾密布中宣读。美国在这些时刻挺下去，不止是因为在位者的技巧或视野，而是因为我们人民坚信先人的理想，信守我们的立国文献。
过去如是，这一代美国人也如是。
我们正身陷危机，现在大家都很清楚了。国家正在打仗，对抗一个广大的暴力和仇恨网络。我们的经济严重地衰弱，是部份人贪婪和不负责任的结果，也是因为我们集体失败，未能作出艰难的决定，为国家进入新纪元作好准备。很多家没有了，工作被裁了，企业倒闭了。我们的医疗费太贵，我们的学校有负于太多人，每天都有新证据显示，我们用能源的方法，令我们的敌人强大，又威胁我们的星球。
这些都是危机的指针，有数据和统计。较难测量但同样影响深远的，是全国信心受重创，挥之不去的恐惧，担心美国衰落无可避免，担心下一代一定要降低期望。
今日我向你们说，我们面对的挑战千真万确，很严重也很多，不能轻易解决，不能短时间解决，但美国知道：挑战一定会克服。
这一天，我们聚首一堂，是因为我们选择希望，而非恐惧，选择目标一致，而不是冲突和争吵。
这一天，我们来宣布结束埋怨、虚假承诺、指摘和过时的条，它们窒息我们的政治太久了。
我们仍是一个年轻的国家，但正如《圣经》所说，是时候将孩子气放在一旁了。重申我们不灭精神的时候到了，去选取我们历史好的一面，去发扬那珍宝，那一代传一代的高尚理念：上帝承诺人人平等，人人自由，人人值得有机会追求快乐。
当我们再次肯定我国的伟大，我们知道伟大从来不是天生，而是争取得来的。我们的旅程从来没有走快捷方式，从不退而求其次。这不是胆小的人之路，这条路不是给那些喜欢安逸多于工作、只追求名利之乐的人。这条路是给肯冒险的人、做实事的人、创造事物的人的。这些人有些得到颂扬，但多数都是默默耕耘，是他们带领我们通过那漫长崎岖之路，通往繁荣和自由。
为了我们，他们收拾起仅有的财产，飘洋过海寻找新生命。
为了我们，他们在血汗工厂辛勤工作，在西部安顿下来，忍受鞭打，开垦恶土。
为了我们，他们战斗死亡，在康科德和葛底斯堡，在诺曼底和溪山。 一次又一次，这些男男女女挣扎牺牲，干活至双手粗糙，要让我们可以活得更好。他们以美国为大，大于小我，大于因出身、财富或派系的分歧。
今天我们延续这个旅程。我们仍是世上最富强的国家。我国工人的生产力，不输于危机开始的时候。还有我们脑袋的创造力不减，对我们货品和服务的需求，也不少于上周、上月或上一年。我们的能力并未衰减。但我们固守立场、保护狭隘利益和推迟作出不快决定的日子肯定已消逝。由今天开始，我们必须振作起来，拍掉身上的灰烟，再度开始重塑美国。
因为无论我们放眼那，都有工作要做。现时的经济情况亟待果断而迅即行动，而我们会手──不仅是创造新职位，而且是为经济增长奠下新基础。我们将修桥筑路，铺设电缆网络和数码线路，以协助商业发展，也让我们紧密联系。我们会让科学重归正当地位，运用科技的奇，提高健康水平和减少医疗开支。我们会撷取太阳、风力和泥土，为汽车提供燃料，让工厂运作。我们更会改变中小学和大学，迎合新时代的需要。这些我们都做得到。而且我们会手去做。
有些人质疑我们野心太大，他们说大计太多，政府应付不来。他们太善忘了。他们忘记了这国家的成绩；忘记了只要结合想象力和共同目标，结合需要和勇气，自由的人可以成就甚么事情。
愤世疾俗之辈没法理解的是，他们的论据已站不住脚──那些烦扰我们多时的陈腐政治论据，已不再合用。我们今天要问的，并非政府是否太大或太小，而是能否做出成绩──能否帮助家庭找到薪金合理的工作，获得负担得起的医疗照顾，以及过得到有尊严的退休生活。答案是肯定的话，我们就会看下一项；答案是否定的话，计划或要打住。我们这些管理公帑的人将要负起责任──钱要花得其所，改掉坏习惯，还要将一切决定公开──惟其如此，才可重建人民对政府的信任。
我们面对的问题，亦非市场力量是正是邪。市场创造财富、推动自由的威力，无可比拟，但这次危机提醒我们，欠缺监察的话，市场就会失控──而一个国家若偏帮富人，将不能得享长久的繁盛。我们的经济得到成功，除了端视我国国内生产总值之外，还要让更多人共享繁荣，以及让有心人得到机会──不是出于慈悲怜悯，而是因为这才是达到共荣的最确切途径。
至于共同防卫问题，我们不认为需要在安全和理想之间作出抉择。我国的开国元勋们，当年面对我们难以想象的险境，依然拟出确保法治和人权的宪章，并由历代人的鲜血加以发扬。那些理念至今仍照亮世人，我们断不会为一时之便而放弃这些理念。今天在看我们的各国政府和人民、由最宏伟的首都到家父出生的小村落，请听好：美国是每个国家的朋友，是想寻找和平与尊严的男人、女人和小孩的朋友，还有就是，我们已准备好，再一次领导世界。
要记得先辈压倒法西斯主义和共产主义，不只用导弹和坦克，还凭坚定的团结和不挠的信念。他们明了，单凭一己力量，我们不足以自保，更不能自把自为。反之，他们明白到，只有审慎运用，我们的力量才能壮大起来；我们的安稳，源自我们目标之正确、我们所作榜样的力量，还有谦卑与克制的温和质量。
我们是这个遗产的保存者。在这些原则的再次引领下，我们可以迎战需要更大努力、国家间更强合作和更大的理解而面对的新威胁。我们要开始负责任地将伊拉克，交还给该国人民，并在阿富汗打造要辛苦攫取的和平。在旧朋友和前敌人的陪同下，我们会努力不懈地减低核威胁，并逆转正在变暖的地球。我们不会为我们的生活方式道歉，也不会放弃防卫，对于那些透过恐怖手段和屠杀无辜者而达到目标的人，我们现在对你们说，我们的意志比你们更坚强，我们不会被击败，你们无法比我们更长久，我们会击败你们。
因为我们知道，祖先的遗产是力量，而非软弱。我们是一个基督徒、伊斯兰教徒、犹太教徒、印度教徒和无信仰者的国家。世界上每种语文和文化，塑造出我们。由于我们尝过内战和种族隔离的痛苦，我们能够更强和更团结地走出黑暗的一章。我们深切相信宿怨有一天会过去；种族部落间的裂缝很快会消弭；当世界变得越来越小时，我们的人性会彰显；美国必须扮演引导世界走向新和平纪元的角色。篇5：奥巴马2009就职演讲[1] 奥巴马就职演讲稿 (2008-11-11 10:49:48) 最近，老奥当选美国新一任总统，从此让世人见证了又一个黑人富有传奇色彩的人物,让大家看到了一个伟人的风采，他那慷慨激昂的演讲，让我们看到了美国制度在某些方面的优越性，看到了美国的未来，看到了我们国家对人才培养的缺陷，同时也让我们全世界人民关注美国的未来。今天把他的演讲稿全部摘录下来与大家一起分享。
《美国的变革时代已经到来》 hello, chicago. 芝加哥的市民们，你们好！ if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are poible; 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 answer.it’s 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 difference. 如果还有人对在美国是否凡事皆有可能这一点存疑，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。 it’s 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 meage 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 of america. 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。 it’s 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. 长久以来，很多人一再受到告诫，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。 i just received a very gracious call from senator mccain.he fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s 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 selfle leader.i congratulate him and governor palin for all they have achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead. 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。 i 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 president-elect of the united states, joe biden. 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，更是我们国家的下一位第一夫人：米歇尔?奥巴马(michelle obama)。萨莎(sasha)和玛丽亚(malia)，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。 to my campaign manager david plouffe, my chief strategist david axelrod, and the best campaign team ever aembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done. 我的竞选经理大卫?普劳夫(david plouffe)、首席策略师大卫?艾克斯罗德(david axelrod)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。 but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you. 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。 i was never the likeliest candidate for this office.we didn’t 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 charleston. 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。 it 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 from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and le 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.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。 i know you didn’t do this just to win an election and i know you didn’t 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 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 they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, or save enough for college.there is new energy to harne and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair. 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。你们这样做是因为你们明白摆在面前的任务有多艰巨。因为即便我们今晚欢呼庆祝，我们也知道明天将面临我们一生之中最为艰巨的挑战——两场战争、一个面临危险的星球，还有百年来最严重的金融危机。今晚站在此地，我们知道伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中还有勇敢的美国士兵醒来，甘冒生命危险保护着我们。会有在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠的父母，担心如何偿还按揭月供、付医药费或是存够钱送孩子上大学。我们亟待开发新能源、创造新的工作机会；我们需要修建新学校，还要应对众多威胁、修复与许多盟国的关系。 the 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. 前方的道路会十分漫长艰辛。我们可能无法在一年甚至一届任期之内实现上述目标，但我从未像今晚这样满怀希望，相信我们会实现。我向你们承诺---我们作为一个整体将会达成目标。 there will be setbacks and false starts.there are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government can’t 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 above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in america for two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. 我们会遭遇挫折和不成功的开端。对于我作为总统所做的每项决定和政策，会有许多人持有异议，我们也知道政府并不能解决所有问题。但我会向你们坦陈我们所面临的挑战。我会聆听你们的意见，尤其是在我们意见相左之时。最重要的是，我会请求你们参与重建这个国家，以美国221年来从未改变的唯一方式---一砖一瓦而成、胼手胝足相续。 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 you. 21个月前那个寒冬所开始的一切不应该在今天这个秋夜结束。今天的选举胜利并不是我们所寻求的改变——这只是我们进行改变的机会。而且如果我们仍然按照旧有方式行事，我们所寻求的改变不可能出现。没有你们，也不可能有这种改变。 so 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, it’s that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people. 因此，让我们发扬新的爱国精神，树立新的服务意识和责任感，让我们每个人下定决心全情投入、更加努力地工作，并彼此关爱。让我们铭记这场金融危机带来的教训：我们不可能在金融以外的领域备受煎熬的同时拥有繁荣兴旺的华尔街——在这个国家，我们患难与共。 let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettine 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 the divides that have held back our progre.as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “we are not enemies, but friends„though paion 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. 让我们抵制重走老路的诱惑，避免重新回到令美国政治长期深受毒害的党派纷争和由此引发的遗憾和不成熟表现。让我们牢记，正是伊利诺伊州的一名男子首次将共和党的大旗扛到了白宫。共和党是建立在自强自立、个人自由以及全民团结的价值观上，这也是我们所有人都珍视的价值。虽然民主党今天晚上赢得了巨大的胜利，但我们是以谦卑的态度和弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧的决心赢得这场胜利的。林肯在向远比我们眼下分歧更大的国家发表讲话时说，我们不是敌人，而是朋友——虽然激情可能褪去，但是这不会割断我们感情上的联系。对于那些现在并不支持我的美国人，我想说，或许我没有赢得你们的选票，但是我听到了你们的声音，我需要你们的帮助，而且我也将是你们的总统。 and to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of american leadership is at hand.to those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you.to those who seek peace and security – we support you. 那些彻夜关注美国大选的海外人士，从国会到皇宫，以及在这个世界被遗忘的角落里挤在收音机旁的人们，我们的经历虽然各有不同，但是我们的命运是相通的，新的美国领袖诞生了。那些想要颠覆这个世界的人们，我们必将击败你们。那些追求和平和安全的人们，我们支持你们。那些所有怀疑美国能否继续照亮世界发展前景的人们，今天晚上我们再次证明，我们国家真正的力量并非来自我们武器的威力或财富的规模，而是来自我们理想的持久力量：民主、自由、机会和不屈的希望。 for that is the true genius of america – that america can change.our union can be perfected.and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. 这才是美国真正的精华——美国能够改变。我们的联邦会日臻完善。我们取得的成就为我们将来能够取得的以及必须取得的成就增添了希望。 this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.but one that’s on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta.she’s 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 old. 这次大选创造了多项“第一”，也诞生了很多将世代流传的故事。但是今天晚上令我难忘的却是在亚特兰大投票的一名妇女：安?尼克松?库波尔(ann nixon cooper)。她和其他数百万排队等待投票的选民没有什么差别，除了一点：她已是106岁的高龄。 she 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 couldn’t vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin. 她出生的那个时代奴隶制度刚刚结束；那时路上没有汽车，天上也没有飞机；当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票－－一是她是女性，另一个原因是她的肤色。 and tonight, i think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in america – the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progre; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who preed on with that american creed: yes we can. 今天晚上，我想到了她在美国过去一百年间所经历的种种：心痛和希望；挣扎和进步；那些我们被告知我们办不到的世代，以及那些坚信美国信条---是的，我们能做到---的人们。 at a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismied, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.yes we can. 曾几何时，妇女没有发言权，她们的希望化作泡影，但是安?尼克松?库波尔活了下来，看到妇女们站了起来，看到她们大声发表自己的见解，看到她们去参加大选投票。是的，我们能做到。
