國家的經(jīng)濟情況要求我們采取大膽且快速的行動，我們的確是要行動，不僅是要創(chuàng)造就業(yè)，更要為(下一輪經(jīng)濟)增長打下新的基礎(chǔ)。以下是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編給大家整理的奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的就職演講(中英對照) ，希望能幫到你!

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的就職演講(中英對照)

　　My fellow citizens:

　　我的同胞們：

　　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.

　　今天我站在這里，看到眼前面臨的重大任務(wù)，深感卑微。我感謝你們對我的信任，也知道先輩們?yōu)榱诉@個國家所作的犧牲。我要感謝布什總統(tǒng)為國家做出的貢獻，以及感謝他在兩屆政府過渡期間給與的慷慨協(xié)作。

　　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.

　　迄今為止，已經(jīng)有44個美國總統(tǒng)宣誓就職?？偨y(tǒng)的宣誓有時面對的是國家的和平繁榮，但通常面臨的是烏云密布的緊張形勢。在緊張的形勢中，支持美國前進的不僅僅是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的能力和遠見，也在于美國人民對國家先驅(qū)者理想的信仰，以及對美國立國文件的忠誠。

　　So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

　　前輩們?nèi)绱?，我們這一代美國人也要如此。

　　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 healthcare 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.

　　現(xiàn)在我們都深知，我們身處危機之中。我們的國家在戰(zhàn)斗，對手是影響深遠的暴力和憎恨;國家的經(jīng)濟也受到嚴重的削弱，原因雖有一些人的貪婪和不負責(zé)任，但更為重要的是我們作為一個整體在一些重大問題上決策失誤，同時也未能做好應(yīng)對新時代的準(zhǔn)備。我們的人民正在失去家園，失去工作，很多企業(yè)倒閉。社會的醫(yī)療過于昂貴、學(xué)校教育讓許多人失望，而且每天都會有新的證據(jù)顯示，我們利用能源的方式助長了我們的敵對勢力，同時也威脅著我們的星球。

　　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.

　　統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)的指標(biāo)傳達著危機的消息。危機難以測量，但更難以測量的是其對美國人國家自信的侵蝕--現(xiàn)在一種認為美國衰落不可避免，我們的下一代必須低調(diào)的言論正在吞噬著人們的自信。

　　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.

　　今天我要說，我們的確面臨著很多嚴峻的挑戰(zhàn)，而且在短期內(nèi)不大可能輕易解決。但是我們要相信，我們一定會度過難關(guān)。

　　On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

　　今天，我們在這里齊聚一堂，因為我們戰(zhàn)勝恐懼選擇了希望，摒棄了沖突和矛盾而選擇了團結(jié)。

　　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.

　　今天，我們宣布要為無謂的摩擦、不實的承諾和指責(zé)畫上句號，我們要打破牽制美國政治發(fā)展的若干陳舊教條。

　　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.

　　美國仍是一個年輕的國家，借用《圣經(jīng)》的話說，放棄幼稚的時代已經(jīng)到來了。重拾堅韌精神的時代已經(jīng)到來，我們要為歷史作出更好的選擇，我們要秉承歷史賦予的寶貴權(quán)利，秉承那種代代相傳的高貴理念：上帝賦予我們每個人以平等和自由，以及每個人盡全力去追求幸福的機會。

　　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 of short-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 and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.

　　在重申我們國家偉大之處的同時，我們深知偉大從來不是上天賜予的，偉大需要努力贏得。(我們的民族一路走來)，這旅途之中從未有過捷徑或者妥協(xié)，這旅途也不適合膽怯之人、或者愛安逸勝過愛工作之人、或者單單追求名利之人。這條路是勇于承擔(dān)風(fēng)險者之路，是實干家、創(chuàng)造者之路。這其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人卻在默默無聞地工作著。正是這些人帶領(lǐng)我們走過了漫長崎嶇的旅行，帶領(lǐng)我們走向富強和自由。

　　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.

　　For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.

　　為了我們，先輩們帶著微薄的細軟，橫渡大洋，尋找新生活;為了我們，先輩們?nèi)倘柝撝?，用血汗?jié)茶T工廠;為了我們，先輩們在荒蕪的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他鄉(xiāng);為了我們，先輩們奔赴(獨立戰(zhàn)爭中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二戰(zhàn)中的)諾曼底、Khe Sahn，他們征戰(zhàn)、死去。

　　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.

　　一次又一次，我們的先輩們戰(zhàn)斗著、犧牲著、操勞著，只為了我們可以生活得更好。在他們看來，美國的強盛與偉大超越了個人雄心，也超越了個人的出身、貧富和派別差異。

　　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.

　　今天我們繼續(xù)先輩們的旅途。美國依然是地球上最富裕、最強大的國家。同危機初露端倪之時相比，美國人民的生產(chǎn)力依然旺盛;與上周、上個月或者去年相比，我們的頭腦依然富于創(chuàng)造力，我們的商品和服務(wù)依然很有市場，我們的實力不曾削弱。但是，可以肯定的是，輕歌曼舞的時代、保護狹隘利益的時代以及對艱難決定猶豫不決的時代已經(jīng)過去了。從今天開始，我們必須跌倒后爬起來，拍拍身上的泥土，重新開始工作，重塑美國。
