Inaugural Address1Weobserve today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you an

3、d Almighty God the same solemn oathour forebears prescribednearly a century and three-quarters ago.2The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the powerto abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our foreb

4、ears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.3We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Letthe word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that

5、the torchhas been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoingof these human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to whi

6、ch we are committed today at home and around the world.4Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.5This much we pledge-and more.6To tho

7、se old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a hostof co-operative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do, for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at oddsand split asunder.7To those new states

8、whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find themsupporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own

9、freedom, and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.8To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them helpthemselves, for whatever

10、 period is required, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.9To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our

11、good words into good deeds, in a new alliancefor progress, to assistfree menand free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the preyof hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subvers

12、ionanywherejn the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.10To that world assembly of sovereignstates, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments ofpeace, we renew

13、 our pledge of support: to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective,to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak, and to enlarge the area in which its writmay run.11Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both side

14、s begin anew the quest for peace, beforethe dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulfall humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.12We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be e

15、mployed.13But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course-both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, bothrightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alterthat uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of

16、mankinds final war.14So let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civilityis not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject toproof.Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.15Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboringthose probl

17、ems which divide us.16Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.17Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of i

18、ts terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tapthe ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.18Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiahto undo the heavy burdens.（and） let the oppressed go free.19And if a beachhea

19、dof co-operation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, buta new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.20All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will itb

20、e finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.21In your hands, myfellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generati

21、on ofAmericans has been summoned to give testimonyto its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.22Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a cal

22、l to bear theburden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patientin tribulation,a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.23Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, tha

23、t can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Willyou join in the historic effort?24In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it. I do not believe th

24、at any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serveit, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.25And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your coun

25、try can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.26My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.27Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of stre

26、ngth and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscienceour only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth Gods work must truly be our own.（from A Treasury of the Worlds Gre
