We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort - even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

我們繼承了這些遺產。在這些原則的再次領導下,我們有能力應對新的威脅,我們需要付出更多的努力、進行國家間更廣泛的合作以及增進國家間的理解。首先,我們將以負責任的態(tài)度,將伊拉克交還給伊拉克人民,同時鞏固阿富汗來之不易的和平。對于老朋友和老對手,我們將繼續(xù)努力,不遺余力,削弱核威脅,遏制全球變暖的幽靈。我們不會為我們的生活方式感到報歉,我們會不動搖地捍衛(wèi)我們的生活方式。對于那些企圖通過恐怖主義或屠殺無辜平民達成目標的人,我們要對他們說:我們的信仰更加堅定,不可動搖,你們不可能拖垮我們,我們定將戰(zhàn)勝你們。

因為我們知道,我們的多元化遺產是一個優(yōu)勢,而非劣勢。我們國家里有基督徒也有穆斯林,有猶太教徒也有印度教徒,同時也有非宗教信徒。我們民族的成長受到許多語言和文化的影響,我們吸取了這個星球上任何一個角落的有益成分。正是因為我們民族曾親嘗過內戰(zhàn)和種族隔離的苦酒,并且在經歷了這些黑色的篇章之后變得更加強大更加團結,因此我們不由自主,只能相信一切仇恨終有一天都會成為過去,種族的劃分不久就會消失,而且隨著世界變得越來越小,我們相信終有一天人類共有的人性品德將會自動顯現(xiàn)。在迎接新的和平時代到來的過程中,美國需要發(fā)揮自己的作用。

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.

To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages.

We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.

對于穆斯林世界,我們將基于共同的利益和信仰,尋找更好的合作之路。對于那些在世界各個地方挑起沖突或一味批評西方不良影響的領導者:你的人民評判你的依據是你建立了什么,而不是破壞了什么。對于那些依靠腐敗和欺騙并壓制異議而追求權利的人們:你們站在了人類歷史的對立面。如果你們能張開緊握的拳頭,我們也將伸出友誼之手。

對于那些貧窮的人們,我們保證和你們一起建設繁茂的農場和干凈的水源,滋養(yǎng)那些饑寒交迫的身體和心靈。對于那些與我們一樣相對富裕的國家,我們不能再對外界的苦難漠不關心,更不能繼續(xù)大肆索取世界的資源。世界必須改變,我們都必須改變。

當我們審視前方的道路時,我們會感激那些跨越千山萬水來到這里的人們。今天,他們有話對我們說,也是安息在阿林頓國家公墓里的先烈們時刻提醒我們的。我們尊敬他們不僅因為是他們捍衛(wèi)了我們的自由,更因為他們正是奉獻精神的化身;他們致力于尋找遠高于自身的生命真諦。而此時,在這個特殊的時代,我們更需讓這種精神長存。
