Thank you!

　　Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush， President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a *** oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.

　　As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.

　　And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.

　　I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of Americas leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.

　　We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that　became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.

　　It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.

　　The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant pe ([!--t資/料來.源,于:/網(wǎng) ]布什演講稿（中英對(duì)照）www.ｆｗJIa.ｃoｍ】 rson was ever born.

　　Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.

　　Through much of the last century, Americas faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.

　　Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.

　　While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.

　　We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemn
pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.

　　I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than our selves who creates us equal in His image.

　　And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.

　　
America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taught these principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.

　　Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nations promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.

　　America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.

　　Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.

　　But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerabl ( [!范;文,之.家網(wǎng) 布什演講稿（中英對(duì)照）(2))hTTp://wWw.fWJiａ.cOm } e will suffer most.

　　We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.

　　America, at its best, is also courageous.

　　Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.

　　Together, we will reclaim Americas schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.

　　We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.

　　We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.

　　We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.

　　The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake:
America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power thatf avors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.

　　America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nations promise.

　　And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.

　　And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.

　　Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.

　　Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not (此資料轉(zhuǎn) 貼于范-文,家_網(wǎng) 布什演講稿（中英對(duì)照）(3)HtTp://WwW.FwJIa.coM ) just a government.

　　And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentors touch or a pastors prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.

　　Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.

　　And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.

　　America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and
expected.

　　
　　Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments. And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.

　　Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.

　　Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.

　　I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.

　　In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our
times.

　　What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.

　　Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.

　　After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and direct{http://www.fWJiA.COm布什演講稿（中英對(duì)照）(4)歡迎您訪問范,文,家[!--titleurl--]}s this storm?"

　　Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The yearsand changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nations grand story of courage and its *** dream of dignity.

　　We are not this storys author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose. Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.

　　Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.

　　This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.

　　God bless you all, and God bless America.

　　尊敬的芮恩奎斯特***官，卡特總統(tǒng)，布什總統(tǒng)，克林頓總統(tǒng)，尊敬的來賓們，我的同胞們，

　　這次權(quán)利的和平過渡在歷史上是罕見的，但在美國事平常的。我們以樸素的宣誓莊重地維護(hù)了古老的傳統(tǒng)，同時(shí)開始了新的歷程。首先，我要感謝克林頓總統(tǒng)為這個(gè)國家作出的貢獻(xiàn)，也感謝副總統(tǒng)戈?duì)栐诟傔x進(jìn)程中的熱情與風(fēng)度。

　　站在這里，我很榮幸，也有點(diǎn)受寵若驚。在我之前，很多美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人從這里起步；在我以后，也會(huì)有很多領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人從這里繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。

　　在美國悠久的歷史中，我們每個(gè)人都有自己的位置；我們還在繼續(xù)推動(dòng)著歷史前進(jìn)，但是我們不可能看到它的盡頭。這是一部新世界的發(fā)展史，是一部后浪推前浪的歷史。這是一部美國由奴隸制社會(huì)發(fā)展成為崇尚自由的社會(huì)的歷史。這是一個(gè)強(qiáng)國保護(hù)而不是占有世界的歷史，是保衛(wèi)而不是征服世界的歷史。這就是美國史。它不是一部十全十美的民族發(fā)展史，但它是一部在偉大和永久理想指導(dǎo)下幾代人團(tuán)結(jié)奮斗的歷史。

　　這些理想中最偉大的是正在漸漸實(shí)現(xiàn)的美國的承諾，這就是：每個(gè)人都有本身的價(jià)值，每個(gè)人都有成功的機(jī)會(huì)，每個(gè)人天生都會(huì)有所作為的。美國人民肩負(fù)著一種使命，那就是要極力將這個(gè)諾言變成生活中和法律上的現(xiàn)實(shí)。固然我們的國家過往在尋求實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)承諾的途中停滯不前乃至倒退，但我們?nèi)詫?jiān)定不移地完成這一使命。

　　在上個(gè)世紀(jì)的大部份時(shí)間里，美國自由民主的信念如同洶涌大海中的巖石�，F(xiàn)在它更像風(fēng)中的種子，把自由帶給每個(gè)民族。在我們的國家，民主不單單是一種信念，而是全人類的�？�。民主，我們不會(huì)獨(dú)占，而會(huì)極力讓大家分享。民主，我們將銘記于心并且不斷傳播。225年過往了，我們?nèi)杂泻荛L的路要走。

　　有很多公民取得了成功，但也有人開始懷疑，懷疑我們自己的國家所許下的諾言，乃至懷疑它的公正。失敗的教育，潛伏的偏見和出身的環(huán)境限制了一些美國人的雄心。有時(shí)，我們的分歧是如此之深，仿佛我們雖身處同一個(gè)大陸，但不屬于同一個(gè)國家。我們不能接受這類分歧，也沒法容許它的存在。我們的團(tuán)結(jié)和同一，是每代領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和每個(gè)公民的嚴(yán)厲使命。在此，我慎重宣誓：我將極力建設(shè)一個(gè)公正、布滿機(jī)會(huì)的同一國家。我知道這是我們的目標(biāo)，由于上帝按自己的身形創(chuàng)造了我們，上帝高于一切的[布什演講稿（中英對(duì)照）(5)http://www.fwJIA.cOM 歡迎您訪問范.文,之.家[]]氣力將引導(dǎo)我們前進(jìn)。

　　對(duì)這些將我們團(tuán)結(jié)起來并指引我們向前的原則，我們布滿信心。血緣、出身或地域從未將美國聯(lián)合起來。只有理想，才能使我們心系一處，超出自己，放棄個(gè)人利益，并逐漸領(lǐng)會(huì)何謂公民。每個(gè)孩子都必須學(xué)習(xí)這些原則。每個(gè)公民都必須堅(jiān)持這些原則。每個(gè)移民，只有接受這些原則，才能使我們的國家不喪失而更具美國特點(diǎn)。

　　
今天，我們在這里重申一個(gè)新的信念，即通過發(fā)揚(yáng)謙恭、勇氣、同情心和個(gè)性的精神來實(shí)現(xiàn)我們國家的理想。美國在它最壯盛時(shí)也沒忘記遵守謙遜有禮的原則。一個(gè)文明的社會(huì)需要我們每個(gè)人品質(zhì)良好，尊重他人，為人公平和寬宏大量。

　　有人以為我們的政治制度是如此的微不足道，由于在和平年代，我們所爭辯的話題都是無關(guān)緊要的。但是，對(duì)我們美國來講，我們所討論的題目歷來都不是甚么小事。假如我們不領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和平事業(yè)，那末和平將無人來領(lǐng)導(dǎo)；假如我們不引導(dǎo)我們的孩子們真心腸酷愛知識(shí)、發(fā)揮個(gè)
性，他們的天分將得不到發(fā)揮，理想將難以實(shí)現(xiàn)。假如我們不采取適當(dāng)措施，聽?wèi){經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，最大的受害者將是平民百姓。

　　我們應(yīng)當(dāng)時(shí)刻聽取時(shí)代的呼喚。謙遜有禮不是戰(zhàn)術(shù)也不是感情用事。這是我們最堅(jiān)定的選擇--在批評(píng)聲中贏得信任；在混亂中尋求同一。假如遵守這樣的承諾，我們將會(huì)享有共同的成績。

　　美國有強(qiáng)大的國力作后盾，將會(huì)勇往直前。

　　在大蕭條和戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期，我們的人民在困難眼前表現(xiàn)得非常英勇，克服我們共同的困難體現(xiàn)了我們共同的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)�，F(xiàn)在，我們正面臨著選擇，假如我們作出正確的選擇，祖輩一定會(huì)鼓勵(lì)我們；假如我們的選擇是錯(cuò)誤的，祖輩會(huì)譴責(zé)我們的。上帝正眷顧著這個(gè)國家，我們必須顯示出我們的勇氣，勇于面對(duì)題目，而不是將它們遺留給我們的后代。

　　我們要共同努力，健全美國的學(xué)校教育，不能讓無知和冷漠吞噬更多的年輕生命。我們要改革社會(huì)醫(yī)療和保險(xiǎn)制度，在力所能及的范圍內(nèi)解救我們的孩子。我們要減低稅收，恢復(fù)經(jīng)
濟(jì)，酬勞辛勞工作的美國人民。我們要防患于未然，懈怠會(huì)帶來麻煩。我們還要禁止武器泛濫，使新的世紀(jì)擺脫恐怖的要挾。

　　反對(duì)自由和反對(duì)我們國家的人應(yīng)當(dāng)明白：美國仍將積極參與國際事務(wù)，力求世界氣力的均衡，讓自由的氣力遍及全球。這是歷史的選擇。我們會(huì)保護(hù)我們的盟國，保衛(wèi)我們的利益。我們將謙遜地向世界人民表示我們的目標(biāo)。我們將果斷反擊各種侵犯和不取信用的行動(dòng)。我們
要向全球宣傳孕育了我們偉大民族的價(jià)值觀。

　　正處在壯盛時(shí)期的美國也不缺少同情心。

　　當(dāng)我們靜心思考，我們就會(huì)明了根深蒂固的貧困根本不值得我國作出承諾。不管我們?nèi)绾慰创毨У木売�，我們都必須承認(rèn)，孩子勇于冒險(xiǎn)不即是在出錯(cuò)誤。放縱與濫用都為上帝所不容。這些都是缺少愛的結(jié)果。監(jiān)獄數(shù)目的增長固然看起來是有必要的，但實(shí)在不能代替我們心中? (此資料轉(zhuǎn) 貼于范-文,家_網(wǎng) 布什演講稿（中英對(duì)照）(6)HtTp://WwW.FwJIa.coM ) 南？?人人遵紀(jì)遵法。

　　哪里有痛苦，我們的義務(wù)就在哪里。對(duì)我們來講，需要幫助的美國人不是陌生人，而是我們的公民；不是負(fù)擔(dān)，而是急需救助的對(duì)象。當(dāng)有人墮進(jìn)失看時(shí)，我們大家都會(huì)因此變得渺小。

　　對(duì)公共安全和大眾健康，對(duì)民權(quán)和學(xué)校教育，政府都應(yīng)負(fù)有極大的責(zé)任。然而，同情心不只是政府的職責(zé)，更是整個(gè)國家的義務(wù)。有些需要是如此的迫切，有些傷痕是如此的深進(jìn)，
只有導(dǎo)師的愛撫、牧師的祈禱才能有所感慨。不論是教堂還是慈善機(jī)構(gòu)、猶太會(huì)堂還是清真寺，都賦予了我們的社會(huì)它們獨(dú)占的人性，因此它們理應(yīng)在我們的建設(shè)和法律上遭到尊重。

　　我們國家的很多人都不知道貧困的痛苦。但我們可以聽到那些感慨頗深的人們的傾訴。我發(fā)誓我們的國家要到達(dá)一種境地：當(dāng)我們看見受傷的行人倒在遠(yuǎn)行的路上，我們決不會(huì)袖手旁觀。正處于壯盛期的美國重視并期待每個(gè)人擔(dān)當(dāng)起自己的責(zé)任。

　　鼓勵(lì)人們勇于承當(dāng)責(zé)任不是讓人們充當(dāng)替罪羊，而是對(duì)人的知己的呼喚。固然承當(dāng)責(zé)任意味著犧牲個(gè)人利益，但是你能從中體會(huì)到一種更加深進(jìn)的成績感。

　　我們實(shí)現(xiàn)人生的完全不單是通過擺在我們眼前的選擇，而且是通過我們的實(shí)踐來實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們知道，通過對(duì)整個(gè)社會(huì)和我們的孩子們盡我們的義務(wù)，我們將得到終究自由。

　　我們的公共利益依靠于我們獨(dú)立的個(gè)性；依靠于我們的公民義務(wù)，家庭紐帶和基本的公正；依靠于我們無數(shù)的、默默無聞的體面行動(dòng)，正是它們指引我們走向自由。

　　在生活中，有時(shí)我們被召喚著往做一些震天動(dòng)地的事情。但是，正如我們時(shí)代的一位圣人所言，天天我們都被召喚帶著摯愛往做一些小事情。一個(gè)民主制度最重要的任務(wù)是由大家每個(gè)人來完成的。

　　我為人處事的原則包括：堅(jiān)信自己而不強(qiáng)加于人，為公眾的利益勇往直前，尋求正義而不乏同情心，勇?lián)?zé)任而決不推辭。我要通過這一切，用我們歷史上傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀來哺養(yǎng)我們的時(shí)代。

　　(同胞們)，你們所做的一切和政府的工作一樣重要。我�？茨銈儾灰獌H僅尋求個(gè)人享受而忽視公眾的利益；要保衛(wèi)既定的改革措施，使其不會(huì)輕易被攻擊；要從身邊小事做起，為我們的國家效力。我希看你們成為真實(shí)的公民，而不是旁觀者，更不是臣民。你們應(yīng)成為有責(zé)任心的公民，共同來建設(shè)一個(gè)互幫互助的社會(huì)和有特點(diǎn)的國家。

　　美國人民慷慨、強(qiáng)大、體面，這并非由于我們信任我們自己，而是由于我們具有超出我們自己的信念。一旦這類公民精神喪失了，不管何種政府計(jì)劃都沒法彌補(bǔ)它。一旦這類精神出
現(xiàn)了，不管任（布什演講稿（中英對(duì)照）(7)來源于 f范/文-家網(wǎng) WWw.fwJIa.COm } 何錯(cuò)誤都沒法抗衡它。

　　在《獨(dú)立宣言》簽署以后，弗吉尼亞州的政治家約翰·佩齊曾給托馬斯·杰弗遜寫信說："我們知道，身手靈敏不一定就可以贏得比賽，氣力強(qiáng)大不一定就可以贏得戰(zhàn)爭。難道這一切不都是上帝安排的嗎？"

　　杰斐遜就任總統(tǒng)的那個(gè)年代離我們已很遠(yuǎn)了。時(shí)光飛逝，美國發(fā)生了天翻地覆的變化。但是有一點(diǎn)他肯定能夠預(yù)知，即我們這個(gè)時(shí)代的主題依然是：我們國家無畏向前的恢宏故事和它尋求尊嚴(yán)的質(zhì)樸夢想。

　　我們不是這個(gè)故事的作者，是杰斐遜作者本人的偉大理想穿越時(shí)空，并通過我們天天的努力在變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。我們正在通過大家的努力在履行著各自的職責(zé)。

　　帶著永不疲憊、永不氣餒、永不完竭的信念，今天我們重樹這樣的目標(biāo)：使我們的國家變得更加公正、更加慷慨，往驗(yàn)證我們每個(gè)人和所有人生命的尊嚴(yán)。

　　這項(xiàng)工作必須繼續(xù)下往。這個(gè)故事必須延續(xù)下往。上帝會(huì)駕馭我們航行的。

　　愿上帝保佑大家！愿上帝保佑美國！
