1、奥巴马就职演讲MP3奥巴马2013年就职演讲中英文对照 北京时间1月22日凌晨，贝拉克侯赛因奥巴马宣誓就职第四十四任美利坚合众国总统并发表就职演说。奥巴马在演讲中追溯美国民主传统和宪法精神，强调了民众的力量。演讲中涉及了包括就业、医保、移民和同性恋等多项议题，以下为奥巴马就职演说全文： mr. obama: thank you. thank you so much. vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow ci

2、tizens: 谢谢，非常感谢大家。拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。 each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our constitution. we affirm the promise of our democracy. we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our

3、 faith or the origins of our names. what makes us exceptional what makes us american is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。我们重申，将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们的肤色，也不是 我们信仰的教条，更不是我们名字的来源。让我们与众不同，让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。

4、200多年前，这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述： “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” “我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。” today

5、 we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth. the

6、patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. they gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed. 今天，我们继续着这一未竟的征程，架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。因为历史告诉我们，即便这些真理是不

7、言而喻的，它们也从来不会自动生效。因为虽 然自由是上帝赋予的礼物，但仍需要世间的子民去捍卫。1776年，美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王的暴政而战，也不是为赢得少数人的特权，建立暴民的 统治。先驱们留给我们一个共和国，一个民有、民治、民享的政府。他们委托每一代美国人捍卫我们的建国信条。 for more than two hundred years, we have. 在过去的200多年里，我们做到了。 through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the p

8、rinciples of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. we made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together. 从奴役的血腥枷锁和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了，建立在自由与平等原则之 上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由的状态。我们赢得了新生，誓言共同前进。 我们共同努力，建立起现代的经济体系。架设铁路与高速公路，加速了旅行和商业交流。建立学校与大学，培训我们的工人。 我们一起发现，自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。 tog

9、ether, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from lifes worst hazards and misfortune. 我们共同决定让这个伟大的国家远离危险，保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸的侵扰。 through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all so

10、cietys ills can be cured through government alone. our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character. 一路走来，我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。我们同样不屈服于这一谎言：一切的社会弊端都能够只靠政府来解决。我们对积极向上与奋发进取的赞扬，我们对努力工作与个人责任的坚持，这些都是美国精神的基本要义。 but we have

11、always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. for the american people 我们也理解，时代在变化，我们同样需要变革。对建国精神的忠诚，需要我们肩负起新的责任，迎接新的挑战。保护我们的个人自由，最

12、终需要所有人的共同努力。 因为美国人不能再独力迎接当今世界的挑战，正如美国士兵们不能再像先辈一样，用步枪和民兵同敌人(法西斯主义与共产主义)作战。一个人无法培训所有的数学 与科学老师，我们需要他们为了未来去教育孩子们。一个人无法建设道路、铺设网络、建立实验室来为国内带来新的工作岗位和商业机会。现在，与以往任何时候相比，我们都更需要团结合作。作为一个国家，一个民族团结起来。 this generation of americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. a dec

13、ade of war is now ending. an economic recovery has begun. americas possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. my fellow americans, we are m

14、ade for this moment, and we will seize it so long as we seize it together. 这一代美国人经历了危机的考验，经济危机坚定了我们的决心，证明了我们的恢复力。长达十年的战争正在结束，经济的复苏已经开始。美国的可能性是无限的，因 为我们拥有当今没有边界的世界所需要的所有品质：年轻与活力、多 样性与开放、无穷的冒险精神以及创造的天赋才能。我亲爱的同胞们，我们正是为此刻而生，我 们更要在此刻团结一致，抓住当下的机会。 for we, the people, understand that our country cannot suc

15、ceed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. we believe that americas prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. we know that america thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor libe

16、rate families from the brink of hardship. we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an american, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of god but also in our own. 因为我们，美国人民，清楚

17、如果只有不断萎缩的少数人群体获得成功，而大多数人不能成功，我们的国家就无法成功。我们相信，美国的繁荣必须建立在不断上升的 中产阶级的宽阔臂膀之上，我们知道美国的繁荣只有这样才能实现。只有当每个人都能找到工作中的自立与自豪时才能实现。只有当诚实劳动获得的薪水足够让家庭 摆脱困苦的悬崖时才能实现。我们忠诚于我们的事业，保证让一个出生于最贫穷环境中的小女孩都能知道，她有同其他所有人一样的成功机会。因为她是一个美国人，她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不仅由上帝来见证，更由我们亲手保护。 we understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the

18、needs of our time. we must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. but while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards

19、the effort and determination of every single american.篇二：奥巴马2016国情咨文演讲-中英对照 奥巴马2016国情咨文演讲（双语全文） 当地时间12号晚间，美国总统奥巴马在华盛顿发表了任上最后一次国情咨文，这也是他第八次进行国情咨文演讲。 mr. speaker, mr. vice president, members of congress, my fellow americans: 议长先生、副总统先生、各位国会议员和美国同胞们： 今晚是我在这里做国情咨文的第八个年头，也是最后一次。我将尽量简而言之。我知道你们中有些人急着回爱荷华州（

20、译者注：两党党内预选进行地）。 i also understand that because its an election season, expectations for what well achieve this year are low. still, mr. speaker, i appreciate the constructive approach you and the other leaders took at the end of last year to pass a budget and make tax cuts permanent for working fami

21、lies. so i hope we can work together this year on bipartisan priorities like criminal justice reform, and helping people who are battling prescription drug abuse. we just might surprise the cynics again. 我也理解此时正当大选之季，因此公众对我们今年成就的期望并不高。但是，议长先生，您以及其他领导人去年年末通过了建设性的预算决议，使得工薪家庭减税计划能够长久实施下去，我对此深表感激。因此我衷心希

22、望今年两党能够在一些重要事务上同心协作，比如，推行刑事司法改革，帮助那些与处方药滥用行为抗争的人们。我们很可能会让质疑者们再次大吃一惊。 violence. equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. all these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and i will not let up until they get done. 但在今晚，我打算少谈些像往年那样的发展计划

23、。别担心，我还是有很多计划要谈，比如，帮助学生学习编写计算机代码，以及对病人进行个性化治疗。我将继续推动这些未竟事业的进步。完善有漏洞的移民体系。保护我们的孩子们免遭枪械暴力。继续推行同工同酬及带薪休假，并提高最低工资水平。所有的这一切对于努力工作的家庭们来说依然至关重要；这些仍是我们要做的对的事情。我绝不会放松这些工作，直至他们完成为止。 but for my final address to this chamber, i dont want to talk just about the next year. i want to focus on the next five years,

24、ten years, and beyond. 但这是我最后一次在此发表讲话，我不想只谈论来年的事宜。我想关注今后的五年、十年，甚至更久远的事情。 i want to focus on our future. 我更关注我们的未来。 we live in a time of extraordinary change change thats reshaping the way we live, the way we work, our planet and our place in the world. its change that promises amazing medical breakt

25、hroughs, but also economic disruptions that strain working families. it promises education for girls in the most remote villages, but also connects terrorists plotting an ocean away. its change that can broaden opportunity, or widen inequality. and whether we like it or not, the pace of this change

26、will only accelerate. 我们生活在一个充满巨变的时代，这场巨变改变了我们的生活、工作方式，改变了我们的星球和我们在世界上的地位。这种巨变预示着医学将出现重大突破，也会带来困扰着工薪家庭的经济动荡。它为生活在边远山区的女孩们带去教育的希望，却也使远距重洋的恐怖分子得以串通一气策划阴谋。这场巨变能够带来机遇，也会扩大不公。无论我们喜欢与否，这场巨变的进度只会越来越快。 america has been through big changes before wars and depression, the influx of immigrants, workers fightin

27、g for a fair deal, and movements to expand civil rights. each time, there have been those who told us to fear the future; who claimed we could slam the brakes on change, promising to restore past glory if we just got some group or idea that was threatening america under control. and each time, we ov

28、ercame those fears. we did not, in the words of lincoln, adhere to the dogmas of the quiet past. instead we thought anew, and acted anew. we made change work for us, always extending americas promise outward, to the next frontier, to more and more people. and because we did because we saw opportunit

29、y where others saw only peril we emerged stronger and better than before. 过去的真理，现在亦未曾改变。我们的乐观主义与职业道德，我们的发现与创新精神，我们种族多样化和法治信条，这些都是我们作为一个国家所拥有的独一无二的优点，使我们具备了世代繁荣昌盛、国泰民安的一切条件。 in fact, its that spirit that made the progress of these past seven years possible. its how we recovered from the worst economi

30、c crisis in generations. its how we reformed our health care system, and reinvented our energy sector; how we delivered more care and benefits to our troops and veterans, and how we secured the freedom in every state to marry the person we love. 事实上，正因有了这种精神力量，我们过去七年才可能取得进步。它使我们得以从几代以来最严重的经济危机中恢复；是我

31、们改革医疗体系、改造能源部门的动力；保证了我们给予军人和老兵更多关心和福利。也正因为此，我们能够让每个州的人都获得了与所爱的人结婚的自由。 but such progress is not inevitable. it is the result of choices we make together. and we face such choices right now. will we respond to the changes of our time with fear, turning inward as a nation, and turning against each othe

32、r as a people? or will we face the future with confidence in who we are, what we stand for, and the incredible things we can do together?篇三：2013年美国总统奥巴马就职演说中英文对照文稿(全) 2013年美国总统奥巴马就职演说中英文对照文稿（全） 北京时间1月22日凌晨，贝拉克侯赛因奥巴马宣誓就职第四十四任美利坚合众国总统并发表就职演说。奥巴马在演讲中追溯美国民主传统和宪法精神，强调了民众的力量。演讲中涉及了包括就业、医保、移民和同性恋等多项议题，以下为奥巴马就职演说全文： mr. obama: thank you. thank you so much. vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: 谢谢，非常感
