》》精彩回顧-奧巴馬精彩演說匯總
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.

今天我站在這里，看到眼前面臨的重大任務，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。

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導人的能力和遠見，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。

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 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. 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.

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

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.

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，同時也未能做好應對新時代的準備。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。

統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)的指標傳達著危機的消息。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。

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)。

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)。

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