　　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，是扞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。

有时，我们的分歧是如此之深，似乎我们虽身处同一个大陆，但不属于同一个国家。

我们不能接受这种分歧，也无法容许它的存在。

我们的团结和统一，是每一代领导人和每一个公民的严肃使命。

在此，我郑重宣誓：

我将竭力建设一个公正、充满机会的统一国家。

我知道这是我们的目标，因为上帝按自己的身形创造了我们，上帝高于一切的力量将引导我们前进。

　　对这些将我们团结起来并指引我们向前的原则，
