布什演讲稿（中英对照）演讲范文Thank ou!Chief Justie Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush， President Clinton, distinguished guests and m fello itizens, the peaeful transfer of authorit is rare in histor, et mon in our ountr. With a simple oath, e affirm old traditions and make ne beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his servie to our nation.And I thank Vie President Gore for a ontest onduted ith spirit and ended ith grae.I am honored and humbled to stand here, here so man of Ameria's leaders have e before me, and so man ill follo.We have a plae, all of us, in a long stor -- a stor e ontinue, but hose end e ill not see. It is the stor of a ne orld that beame a friend and liberator of the old, a stor of a slave-holding soiet that beame a servant of freedom, the stor of a poer that ent into the orld to protet but not possess, to defend but not to onquer.It is the Amerian stor -- a stor of flaed and fallible people, united aross the generations b grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding Amerian promise that everone belongs, that everone deserves a hane, that no insignifiant person as ever born.Amerians are alled to enat this promise in our lives and in our las. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delaed, e must follo no other ourse.Through muh of the last entur, Ameria's faith in freedom and demora as a rok in a raging sea. No it is a seed upon the ind, taking root in man nations.Our demorati faith is more than the reed of our ountr, it is the inborn hope of our humanit, an ideal e arr but do not on, a trust e bear and pass along. And even after nearl 225 ears, e have a long a et to travel.While man of our itizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justie, of our on ountr. The ambitions of some Amerians are limited b failing shools and hiddenprejudie and the irumstanes of their birth. And sometimes our differenes run so deep, it seems e share a ontinent, but not a ountr.We do not aept this, and e ill not allo it. Our unit, our union, is the serious ork of leaders and itizens in ever generation. And this is m solemnpledge: I ill ork to build a single nation of justie and opportunit.I kno this is in our reah beause e are guided b a poer larger than our selves ho reates us equal in His image.And e are onfident in priniples that unite and lead us onard.Ameria has never been united b blood or birth or soil. We are bound b ideals that move us beond our bakgrounds, lift us above our interests and teah us hat it means to be itizens. Ever hild must be taught these priniples. Ever itizen must uphold them. And ever immigrant, b embraing these ideals, makes our ountr more, not less, Amerian.Toda, e affirm a ne mitment to live out our nation's promise through ivilit, ourage, passion and harater.Ameria, at its best, mathes a mitment to priniple ith a onern for ivilit. A ivil soiet demands from eah of us goodill and respet, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politis an afford to bepett beause, in a time of peae, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for Ameria are never small. If our ountr does not lead the ause of freedom, it ill not be led. If e do not turn the hearts of hildren toard knoledge and harater, e ill lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If e permit our eonom to drift and deline, the vulnerable ill suffer most.We must live up to the alling e share. Civilit is not a tati or a sentiment. It is the determined hoie of trust over niism, of munit over haos. And this mitment, if e keep it, is a a to shared aplishment.Ameria, at its best, is also ourageous.Our national ourage has been lear in times of depression and ar, hen defending mon dangers defined our mon good. No e must hoose if the example of our fathers and mothers ill inspire us or ondemn us. We must sho ourage in a time of blessing b onfronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, e ill relaim Ameria's shools, before ignorane and apath laim more oung lives.We ill reform Soial Seurit and Mediare, sparing our hildren from struggles e have the poer to prevent. And e ill redue taxes, to reover the momentum of our eonom and reard the effort and enterprise of orking Amerians.We ill build our defenses beond hallenge, lest eakness invite hallenge.We ill onfront eapons of mass destrution, so that a ne entur is spared ne horrors.The enemies of libert and our ountr should make no mistake: Ameria remains engaged in the orld b histor and b hoie, shaping a balane of poer thatf avors freedom. We illdefend our allies and our interests. We ill sho purposeithout arrogane. We ill meet aggression and bad faith ith resolve and strength. And to all nations, e ill speak for the values that gave our nation birth.Ameria, at its best, is passionate. In the quiet of Amerian onsiene, e kno that deep, persistent povert is unorth of our nation's promise.And hatever our vies of its ause, e an agree that hildren at risk are not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not atsof God, the are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, hoever neessar, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is dut. Amerians in need are not strangers, the are itizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of us are diminished hen an are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for publi safet and publi health, for ivil rights and mon shools. Yet passion is the ork of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep the ill onl respond to a mentor's touh or a pastor's praer. Churh and harit, snagogue and mosque lend our munities their humanit, and theill have an honored plae in our plans and in our las.Man in our ountr do not kno the pain of povert, but e an listen to those ho do.And I an pledge our nation to a goal: When e see that ounded traveler on the road to Jeriho, e ill not pass to the other side.Ameria, at its best, is a plae here personalresponsibilit is valued andexpeted.Enouraging responsibilit is not a searh for sapegoats, it is a all to onsiene. And though it requires sarifie, itbrings a deeper fulfillment. We find the fullness of life not onl in options, but in mitments. And e find that hildren and munit are the mitments that set us free.Our publi interest depends on private harater, on ivi dut and famil bonds and basi fairness, on unounted, unhonored ats of deen hih give diretion to our freedom.Sometimes in life e are alled to do great things. But asa saint of our times has said, ever da e are alled to dosmall things ith great love. The most important tasks of a demora are done b everone.I ill live and lead b these priniples: to advane m onvitions ith ivilit, to pursue the publi interest ith ourage, to speak for greater justie and passion, to all for responsibilit and tr to live it as ell.In all these as, I ill bring the values of our histor to the are of ourtimes.What ou do is as important as anthing government does. I ask ou to seek a mon good beond our fort; to defend needed reforms against eas attaks; to serve our nation, beginningith our neighbor. I ask ou to be itizens: itizens, not spetators; itizens, not subjets; responsible itizens,building munities of servie and a nation of harater.Amerians are generous and strong and deent, not beause e believe in ourselves, but beause e hold beliefs beond ourselves. When this spirit of itizenship is missing, no government program an replae it. When this spirit is present, no rong an stand against it.After the Delaration of Independene as signed, Virginia statesman John Page rote to Thomas Jefferson: "We kno the rae is not to the sift nor the battle to the strong. Do ou not think an angel rides in the hirlind and direts this storm?"Muh time has passed sine Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The earsand hanges aumulate. But the themes of this da he ould kno: our nation's grand stor of ourage andits simple dream of dignit.We are not this stor's author, ho fills time and eternit ith his purpose. Yet his purpose is ahieved in our dut, and our dut is fulfilled in servie to one another.Never tiring, never ielding, never finishing, e rene that purpose toda, to make our ountr more just and generous, to affirm the dignit of our lives and ever life.This ork ontinues. This stor goes on. And an angel still rides in the hirlind and direts this storm.God bless ou all, and God bless Ameria.谢谢大家！尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官，卡特总统，布什总统，克林顿总统，尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们，这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国是平常的。

布什就职演说（英文版）Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush, PresidentClinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peacefultransfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. Witha simple 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 andended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leadershave come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, butwhose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became afriend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society thatbecame a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the worldto protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, unitedacross the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise thateveryone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person waseverborn.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 mustfollow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faithin freedom and democracywasa rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root inmany nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is theinborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear andpass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet totravel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even thejustice, of our own country. The ambitions of some Americans are limitedby failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of theirbirth. And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share acontinent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it. Our unity, our union, isthe serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this ismy solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice andopportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger thanourselves 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 byideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interestsand teach us what it means to be citizens. Every child must be taughtthese principles. Every citizen must uphold them. And every immigrant, by embracing theseideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise throughcivility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern forcivility. 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, ina time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not leadthe cause of freedom, it will not be led. If we do not turn the hearts ofchildren toward knowledge and character, we willlose their gifts andundermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline,the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share. Civility is not a tactic or asentime nt. It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, ofcommunity over chaos. And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way toshared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, whendefending common dangers defined our common good. Now we must choose ifthe example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us. Wemust show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead ofpassing them on tofuture generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathyclaim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children fromstruggles we have the power to prevent. And we will reduce taxes, torecover the momentum of our economy and reward theeffort and enterpriseof working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invitechallenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century issparednew horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: Americaremains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balanceof power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We willshow purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith withresolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the valuesthat gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate. In the quiet of Americanconscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of ournation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at riskare not at fault. Abandonment and abuse are not actsof God, they arefailures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute forhope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty. Americans in need are notstrangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities. And all of usare 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 anation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor'stouch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lendour communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in ourplans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen tothose who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveleron the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valuedand expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call toconcience. And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeperfulfillment. We find the fullness of life not only in options, but incommitments. And we find that children and community are the commitmentsthat set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and familybonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonoredacts of decency whichgive direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of ourtimes has said, every day we are called to do small things with greatlove. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions withcivility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greaterjustice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it aswell.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care ofour times.What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seeka common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easyattacks;to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.I ask you to becitizens:citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens,building communities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, notbecause we believe inourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spiritof citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When thisspirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman JohnPage wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift northe battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind anddirects this storm?"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived forhis inauguration. Theyears and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know:our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with hispurpose.Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled inservice to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purposetoday, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignityof our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in thewhirl wind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.。

小布什就职演讲稿

小布什就职演讲稿篇一：美国总统布什就职演讲稿(中英文对照)美国总统布什就职演讲稿（中英文对照）布什：保护与捍卫《美国宪法》。

芮恩奎斯特：上帝保佑我。

布什：上帝保佑我。

芮恩奎斯特：恭喜！谢谢大家！尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官，卡特总统，布什总统，克林顿总统，尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们，这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国是平常的。

我们以朴素的宣誓庄严地维护了古老的传统，同时开始了新的历程。

首先，我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家作出的贡献，也感谢副总统戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与风度。

站在这里，我很荣幸，也有点受宠若惊。

在我之前，许多美国领导人从这里起步；在我之后，也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。

在美国悠久的历史中，我们每个人都有自己的位置；我们还在继续推动着历史前进，但是我们不可能看到它的尽头。

这是一部新世界的发展史，是一部后浪推前浪的历史。

这是一部美国由奴隶制社会发展成为崇尚自由的社会的历史。

这是一个强国保护而不是占有世界的历史，是捍卫而不是征服世界的历史。

这就是美国史。

它不是一部十全十美的民族发展史，但它是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的历史。

这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺，这就是：每个人都有自身的价值，每个人都有成功的机会，每个人天生都会有所作为的。

美国人民肩负着一种使命，那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。

虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退，但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。

在上个世纪的大部分时间里，美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。

现在它更像风中的种子，把自由带给每个民族。

在我们的国家，民主不仅仅是一种信念，而是全人类的希望。

民主，我们不会独占，而会竭力让大家分享。

民主，我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。

225年过去了，我们仍有很长的路要走。

有很多公民取得了成功，但也有人开始怀疑，怀疑我们自己的国家所许下的诺言，甚至怀疑它的公正。

失败的教育，潜在的偏见和出身的环境限制了一些美国人的雄心。

Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute forhope 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 allof usare 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 just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor'stouch or a pastor's prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lendour communities their humanity, and they will have an honored placein ourplans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we canlisten tothose who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveleron the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valuedand expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is acall toconcience. 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 commitmentsthat set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and familybonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency whichgive direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of ourtimes 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 withcivility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greaterjustice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it aswell.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the careofour times.What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seeka common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easyattacks;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 inourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves. When this spiritof citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it. When thisspirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman JohnPage wrote to Thomas Jefferson: "We know the race is not to the swift northe battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwindanddirects this storm?"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration.Theyears and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know:our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's 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 purposetoday, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignityof our lives and every life.This work continues. This story goes on. And an angel still rides in thewhirl wind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.。

小布什就职演说中英文

小布什就职演说中英文乔治·沃克·布什，是美国第43任总统(第54-55届)。

那么你想知道美国总统小布什在就职时是怎么发言的？以下是给大家分享了美国总统小布什就职演说中英文，希望大家有帮助。

美国总统小布什就职演说中文尊敬的芮恩奎斯特大法官，卡特总统，布什总统，克林顿总统，尊敬的来宾们，我的同胞们，这次权利的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的，但在美国是平常的。

我们以朴素的宣誓庄严地维护了古老的传统，同时开始了新的历程。

首先，我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家作出的贡献，也感谢副总统戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与风度。

站在这里，我很荣幸，也有点受宠若惊。

在我之前，许多美国领导人从这里起步;在我之后，也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。

在美国悠久的历史中，我们每个人都有自己的位置;我们还在继续推动着历史前进，但是我们不可能看到它的尽头。

这是一部新世界的发展史，是一部后浪推前浪的历史。

这是一部美国由奴隶制社会发展成为崇尚自由的社会的历史。

这是一个强国保护而不是占有世界的历史，是捍卫而不是征服世界的历史。

这就是美国史。

它不是一部十全十美的民族发展史，但它是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的历史。

这些理想中最伟大的是正在慢慢实现的美国的承诺，这就是：每个人都有自身的价值，每个人都有成功的机会，每个人天生都会有所作为的。

美国人民肩负着一种使命，那就是要竭力将这个诺言变成生活中和法律上的现实。

虽然我们的国家过去在追求实现这个承诺的途中停滞不前甚至倒退，但我们仍将坚定不移地完成这一使命。

在上个世纪的大部分时间里，美国自由民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。

现在它更像风中的种子，把自由带给每个民族。

在我们的国家，民主不仅仅是一种信念，而是全人类的希望。

民主，我们不会独占，而会竭力让大家分享。

民主，我们将铭记于心并且不断传播。

220xx年过去了，我们仍有很长的路要走。

有很多公民取得了成功，但也有人开始怀疑，怀疑我们自己的国家所许下的诺言，甚至怀疑它的公正。

布什告别演讲稿精选（中英文对照）Bushsfarewellspeech

布什告别演讲稿精选（中英文对照）Bushsfarewellspeech第一篇：布什告别演讲稿精选(中英文对照)Bush's farewell speech THE PRESIDENT: Fellow citizens: For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence — a time set apart. Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey that we have traveled together, and the future of our nation.Five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of American democracy. In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the American people. Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land. This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation. And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-Elect Obama, his wife Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.Tonight I am filled with gratitude — to Vice President Cheney and members of my administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime. And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me. I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits. And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity, and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years.This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house —September the 11th, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I remember standing in the rubbleof the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon, and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93. I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son’s police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge.As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe.Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community, and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists’ movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots. And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States.There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions. But there can be little debate about the results. America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe — law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women ofthe United States Armed Forces.Our nation is blessed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger. I have cherished meeting these selfless patriots and their families. And America owes you a debt of gratitude. And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight: There has been no higher honor than serving as your Commander-in-Chief.The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace.This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens. When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism. So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights, and human dignity. We’re standing with dissidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to dying patients — to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria. And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations.For eight years, we’ve also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. Theaddicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America’s air and water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.When challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them. Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy. These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted. All Americans are in this together. And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth. We will show the world once again the resilience of America’s free enterprise sys tem.Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks. There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I’ve always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. Our enemies are patient, and determined to strike again. America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never letdown our guard.At the same time, we must continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose. In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger. In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad. If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led.As we address these challenges —and others we cannot foresee tonight —America must maintain our moral clarity. I’ve often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense —and to advance the cause of peace.President Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “I l ike the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.” As I leave the house he occupied two centuries ago, I share that optimism. America is a young country, full of vitality, constantly growing and renewing itself. And even in the toughest times, we lift our eyes to the broad horizon ahead.I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people. This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom. This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger, and compassion in the face of suffering. We see examples ofAmerica’s character all around us. And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening.We see America’s character in Dr. Tony Recasn er, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina. We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society. We’ve seen it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charg ed into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines.We see America’s character in Bill Krissoff — a surgeon from California. His son, Nathan — a Marine — gave his life in Iraq. When I met Dr. Krissoff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son. This good man was 60 years old — 18 years above the age limit. But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine. Lieutenant Commander Krissoff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America’s wounded warriors — and uphold the legacy of his fallen son.In citizens like these, we see the best of our countrycitizen of the United States of America.And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night. May God bless this house and our next President. And may God bless you and our wonderful country. Thank you. (Applause.) 各位公民：八年来，我有幸担任你们的总统。
