奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文对照)
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.
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.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.
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Байду номын сангаас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。
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 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 of America.

feeling. when i wayoung, mfamillived overseas. i lived in indonesia for a few years. and mmother, she didn“t have the moneto send me where all the american kidwent to school, but she thought it waimportant for me to keep up with an american education. so she decided to teach me extra lessonherself, mondathrough friday. but because she had to go to work, the onltime she could do it waat 4:30 in the morning.now, ayou might imagine, i wasn“t too happabout getting up that early. and a lot of times, i“d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. but whenever i“d complain, mmother would just give me oneof those lookand she“d say, “thiino picnic for me either, buster.“（laughter.）so i know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. but i“m here todabecause i have something important to discuswith you. i“m here because i want to talk with you about your education and what“expected of all of you in thinew school year. now, i“ve given a lot of speecheabout education. and i“ve talked about responsibilita lot.i“ve talked about teachers“responsibilitfor inspiring studentand pushing you to learn.i“ve talked about your parents“ responsibilitfor making sure you staon track, and you get your homework done, and don“t spend everwaking hour in front of the tv or with the xbox.i“ve talked a lot about your government“responsibilitfor setting high standards, and supporting teacherand principals, and turning around schoolthat aren“t working, where studentaren“t getting the opportunitiethat thedeserve.but at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schoolin the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matterunlesall of you fulfill your responsibilities, unlesyou show up to those schools, unlesyou paattention to those teachers, unlesyou listen to your parentand grandparentand other adultand put in the hard work it taketo succeed. that“what i want to focuon today: the responsibiliteach of you hafor your education.i want to start with the responsibilityou have to yourself. eversingle one of you hasomething that you“re good at. eversingle one of you hasomething to offer. and you have a responsibilitto yourself to discover what that is. that“the opportunitan education can provide.maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articlein a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that english paper -- that english claspaper that “assigned to you. maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iphone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a supreme court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate teaand no matter what you want to do with your life, i guaranteethat you“ll need an education to do it. you want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? you want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? you“re going to need a good education for eversingle one of those careers. you cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. you“ve got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.and thiisn“t just important for your own life and your own future. what you make of your education will decide nothing lesthan the future of thicountry. the future of america dependon you. what you“re learning in school todawill determine whether we aa nation can meet our greatest challengein the future.you“ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skillyou learn in science and math to cure diseaselike cancer and aids, and to develop new energtechnologieand protect our environment. you“ll need the insightand critical-thinking skillyou gain in historand social studieto fight povertand homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. you “ll need the creativitand ingenuityou develop in all your classeto build new companiethat will create new joband boost our economy. we need eversingle one of you to develop your talentand yourskilland your intellect so you can help uold folksolve our most difficult problems. if you don“t do that -- if you quit on school -- you“re not just quitting on yourself, you“re quitting on your country.now, i know it“not alwayeasto do well in school. i know a lot of you have challengein your liveright now that can make it hard to focuon your schoolwork.i get it. i know what it“like. mfather left mfamilwhen i watwo yearold, and i waraised ba single mom who had to work and who struggled at timeto pathe billand wasn“t alwayable to give uthe thingthat other kidhad. there were timewhen i missed having a father in mlife. there were timewhen i waloneland i felt like i didn“t fit in.so i wasn“t alwayafocused ai should have been on school, and i did some thingi“m not proud of, and i got in more trouble than i should have. and mlife could have easiltaken a turn for the worse. but i wa-- i walucky. i got a lot of second chances, and i had the opportunitto go to college and law school and follow mdreams. mwife, our first ladmichelle obama, she haa similar story. neither of her parenthad gone to college, and thedidn“t have a lot of money.but theworked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schoolin thicountry.some of you might not have those advantages. maybe you don “t have adultin your life who give you the support that you need. maybe someone in your familhalost their joand there“not enough moneto go around. maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don “t feel safe, or have friendwho are pressuring you to do thingyou know aren“t right.but at the end of the day, the circumstanceof your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much moneyou have, what you “ve got going on at home -- none of that ian excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. that“no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. there ino excuse for not trying.where you are right now doesn“t have to determine where you “ll end up. no one“written your destinfor you, because here in america, you write your own destiny. you make your own future. that“what young people like you are doing everday, all acrosamerica.young people like jazmin perez, from roma, texas. jazmin didn“t speak english when she first started school. neither of her parenthad gone to college. but she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to brown universit-- inow in graduate school, studying public health, on her wato becoming dr. jazmin perez. i“m thinking about andoni schultz, from loaltos, california, who“fought brain cancer since he wathree. he“had to endure all sortof treatmentand surgeries, one of which affected himemory, so it took him much longer -- hundredof extra hour-- to do hischoolwork. but he never fell behind. he“headed to college thifall.and then there“shantell steve, from mhometown of chicago, illinois. even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoodin the city, she managed to get a joat a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she“on track to graduate high school with honorand go on to college.and jazmin, andoni, and shantell aren“t andifferent from anof you. theface challengein their livejust like you do. in some casethey“ve got it a lot worse off than manof you. but therefused to give up. thechose to take responsibilitfor their lives, for their education, and set goalfor themselves. and i expect all of you todo the same.that“whtodai“m calling on each of you to set your own goalfor your education -- and do everything you can to meet the your goal can be something asimple adoing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each dareading a book. maybe you “ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. maybe you“ll decide to stand up for kidwho are being teased or bullied because of who theare or how thelook, because you believe, like i do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to studand learn. maybe you“ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more readto learn. and along those lines, bthe way, i hope all of you are washing your handa lot, and that you stahome from school when you don“t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu thifall and winter. but whatever you resolve to do, i want you to commit to it. i want you to reallwork at it.i know that sometimeyou get that sense from tv that you can be rich and successful without anhard work -- that your ticket to succesithrough rapping or basketball or being a realittv star. chanceare you“re not going to be anof those things.the truth is, being successful ihard. you won“t love eversubject that you study. you won“t click with everteacher that you have. not everhomework assignment will seem completelrelevant to your life right at thiminute. and you won“t necessarilsucceed at everything the first time you try.that“okay. some of the most successful people in the world are the onewho“ve had the most failures. j.k. rowling“-- who wrote harrpotter -- her first harrpotter book warejected 12 timebefore it wafinallpublished. michael jordan wacut from hihigh school basketball tea he lost hundredof gameand missed thousandof shotduring hicareer. but he once said, “i have failed over and over and over again in mlife. and that“whi succeed.“these people succeeded because theunderstood that you can“t let your failuredefine you -- you have to let your failureteach you. you have to let them show you what to do differentlthe next time. so if you get into trouble, that doesn“t mean you“re a troublemaker, it meanyou need to trharder to act right. if you get a bad grade, that doesn“t mean you“re stupid, it just meanyou need to spend more time studying.no one“born being good at all things. you become good atthingthrough hard work. you“re not a varsitathlete the first time you plaa new sport. you don“t hit evernote the first time you sing a song. you“ve got to practice. the same principle applieto your schoolwork. you might have to do a math problem a few timebefore you get it right. you might have to read something a few timebefore you understand it. you definitelhave to do a few draftof a paper before it“good enough to hand in.don“t be afraid to ask questions. don“t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. i do that everday. asking for help isn“t a sign of weakness, it“a sign of strength because it showyou have the courage to admit when you don“t know something, and that then allowyou to learn something new. so find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you staon track to meet your goals.and even when you“re struggling, even when you“re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don“t ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.the storof america isn“t about people who quit when thinggot tough. it“about people who kept going, who tried harder, who lovedtheir countrtoo much to do anything lesthan their best.it“the storof studentwho sat where you sit 250 yearago, and went on to wage a revolution and thefounded thination. young people. studentwho sat where you sit 75 yearago who overcame a depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rightand put a man on the moon. studentwho sat where you sit 20 yearago who founded google and twitter and facebook and changed the wawe communicate with each other.so today, i want to ask all of you, what“your contribution going to be? what problemare you going to solve? what discoveriewill you make? what will a president who comehere in 20 or 50 or 100 yearsaabout what all of you did for thicountry?now, your families, your teachers, and i are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. i“m working hard to fix up your classroomand get you the bookand the equipment and the computeryou need to learn. but you“ve got to do your part, too. so i expect all of you to get seriouthiyear. i expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. i expect great thingfrom each of you. so don“t let udown. don“t let your famildown or your countrdown. most of all, don“t let yourself down. make uall proud.thank you vermuch, everybody. god blesyou. god blesamerica. thank you. （applause.）end12:22 p.

奥巴马就职演讲（中英文双译）
奥巴马就职演讲（中英文双译）第一篇：奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)亲爱的公民同胞们：今天我站在这裡﹐面对眼前的任务﹐深感卑微。
感谢你们给予我的信任﹐我也清楚前辈们為这个国家所作的牺牲。
我要感谢布什总统对国家的服务﹐感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给予的慷慨协作。
时至今日﹐已有44位美国总统宣誓就职。
总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣﹐有时面临的是狂风骤雨的紧张形势。
在这种时刻﹐支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见﹐更是美国人民对先驱者理想的坚定信仰﹐以及对美国建国宣言的忠诚。
过去是这样﹐我们这一代美国人也要如此。
我们都狠清楚﹐我们正处於危机之中。
我们的国家正在对触角广泛的暴力和仇恨网络宣战。
国家的经济也受到了严重的削弱﹐这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果﹐但在做出艰难选择和準备迎接新时代方面﹐我们出现了集体性的失误。
家园失去了﹔工作丢掉了﹔商业萧条了。
我们的医疗卫生耗资巨大﹔我们的学校让许多人失望﹔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﹐是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。
而更难以衡量但同样意义深远的是美国人自信心的丧失──现在一种认為美国衰落不可避免﹐我们的下一代必须降低期待的恐惧正在吞噬着我们的自信。
今天我要向你们说的是﹐我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。
这些挑战狠多﹐也狠严重﹐它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就得以克服。
但记住这一点：美国终将渡过难关。
今天﹐我们聚集在这裡﹐是因為我们选择了希望而不是恐惧﹐团结而不是冲突与争执。
今天﹐我们在这裡宣佈要為无谓的抱怨、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陈旧教条。
我们仍是一个年轻的国家﹐但借用《圣经》的话说﹐摒弃幼稚的时代已经来临。
是时候重树我们坚韧的精神﹔选择我们更好的歷史﹔弘扬那些珍贵的天赋和高尚的理念﹐并代代传承下去﹐即上帝赋予的信念：天下眾生皆平等﹐眾生皆自由﹐且均应有追求最大幸福的机会。
奥巴马演讲中英文对照版
奥巴马演讲中英文对照版Ladies and Gentlemen:女士们，先生们：Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that recognized the constitutional right toprivacy and dignity in a woman’s most personal decisions about her health, her family, and her future.今天是作出保障妇女在其个人健康，家庭以及未来的自由决定的宪法权利上所公认的Roe v. Wade法令37周年纪念日。
而且也更加温和、委婉地纪念; 在Roe法令37年期间，我们见证了一代年轻人在他们拥有控制自己生殖决策权的环境中长大。
事实上，今天的年轻人可能甚至连Roe以前的时代都不太记得。
但我们也不能忘记那些来之前我们的勇敢女性以及和他们一起奋战的勇敢男女，他们有勇气要求自己最私密的决定被视作一项基本的人权。
这也是我们今天聚集在此的原因--要重申这个基本真理，并再次致力于保护妇女在全世界的生殖权利以及机会，不管她们的收入或背景如何。
This moment should not be about politics, it should be about, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reminded us, “the decision whether and when to bear a child” being in the hands of women themselves.这一刻不应是关于政治，而是，正如法官鲁丝·巴德·金斯伯格曾提醒过的，“是否及何时有孩子”这项决定应在女性自己手中。
而且，虽然保护妇女权利和自主的斗争不会于今天就结束。

Tonight more than200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its owndestiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. It movesforward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed thespirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit thathas lifted this country from the depths of despair to the sofhope. The belief that while each of us will pursue our ownindivual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or falltogether as one nation and as one people.今晚，是在一个曾经的殖民地在赢得自己主权200多年之后，我们来到这里，不断前行，这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望，实现移民的梦想。
每一个人都可以独立的争取自己的未来，我们将会作为一个国家共同起落。
Tonight in thiselection, you, the American people, remind us while our road hasbeen hard, while our journey has been long, we have pickedourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in ourhearts that the united states of America the best is yet tocome.今晚，在选举的过程当中，你们——美国的人民，让我们记得我们的道路是非常艰辛的，我们的道路是漫长的，我们重新站了起来，我们也从内心知道，美国还没有迎来最好的时代。

完美精华版奥巴马演讲中英文对照Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you as the President of the United States, humbled by the trust you have placed in me and grateful for the opportunity to address you all. The challenges we face are great, but together, we can overcome them and build a brighter future for our nation and the world.女士们先生们，今天，作为美国总统，我站在你们面前，对你们对我的信任感到谦卑，感激有机会向你们全体发表讲话。
我们面临的挑战艰巨，但是我们可以共同克服它们，为我们的国家和世界建设一个更加光明的未来。
As I look back on the past eight years, I am proud of what we have accomplished. We have overcome economic recession, expanded healthcare coverage, and made progress in areas such as climate change and marriage equality. But there is still work to be done.回顾过去的八年，我为我们所取得的成就感到自豪。
我们克服了经济衰退，扩大了医疗保障范围，在气候变化和婚姻平等等领域取得了进展。
但是还有工作要做。
In the years ahead, we must continue to strive for progress and upholdthe values that make our nation strong. We must invest in education, support innovation and entrepreneurship, and ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can build an inclusive and prosperous society.在未来的岁月里，我们必须继续努力进取，坚守使我们国家强大的价值观。

[size]My fellow citizens:各位同胞：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，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。
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.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，也忠于创建我国的法统。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.因此，美国才能承继下来。
因此，这一代美国人必须承继下去。
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 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.现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。
我们的经济元气大伤，是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果，也是大众未能做出艰难的选择，为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。
许多人失去房子，丢了工作，生意垮了。
我们的医疗照护太昂贵，学校教育辜负了许多人。
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。
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.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。
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。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.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。
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.在这一天，我们来此宣示，那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结，那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。
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.我们仍是个年轻的国家，但借用圣经的话，摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了，重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了，选择我们更好的历史，实践那种代代传承的珍贵权利，那种高贵的理念：就是上帝的应许，我们每个人都是平等的，每个人都是自由的，每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。
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 ofshort-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 andfame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.再次肯定我们国家的伟大，我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来，必须努力达成。
我们的旅程从来就不是抄捷径或很容易就满足。
这条路一直都不是给不勇敢的人走的，那些偏好逸乐胜过工作，或者只想追求名利就满足的人。
恰恰相反，走这条路的始终是勇于冒险的人，做事的人，成事的人，其中有些人很出名，但更常见的是在各自岗位上的男男女女无名英雄，在这条漫长崎区的道路上支撑我们，迈向繁荣与自由。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.为了我们，他们携带很少的家当，远渡重洋，追寻新生活。
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.为了我们，他们胼手胝足，在西部安顿下来；忍受风吹雨打，筚路蓝缕。
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh.为了我们，他们奋斗不懈，在康科特和盖茨堡，诺曼地和溪山等地葬身。
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.前人不断的奋斗与牺牲，直到双手皮开肉绽，我们才能享有比较好的生活。
