让我们迎接一个更美好的明天
尊敬的联邦大法官约翰·罗伯茨先生、我的同胞们:插画手绘
今天我们在这里隆重集会,庆祝一个重要的日子——经全美人民推选出来的总统的就职典礼!我很开心,因为美国人民再次选举了我来领导世界上一流的超级大国——美利坚合众国!这种荣誉和自豪是难以用语言形容的,也许只有你自己身处美国总统的位置才能体会我此时的心情!感谢伟大美国人民对我的信任与支持,感谢大家前来参加我的就职仪式,感谢我的太太米歇尔女士和女儿萨莎、玛利亚对我的爱和鼓励!文艺青年
四年前,同样是在这里,我第一次当选总统后在这里宣誓就职。那时,正是全球经济危机最为困难的时期。为了改善美国经济糟糕的状况,上任后,我与我的团队共同努力、扎实工作、在国内推行了一系列的经济改革法案和社会福利政策,竭力要提高民众的就业率和社会福利待遇。我们做了,虽然说成绩不够显著,但下届政府仍将沿着之前尚未完成的任务,一步一个脚印面对险阻继续前进。用富有标榜的成绩使大家看到一个拥有美好明天的美国!微电影排行榜 手工制作
上届政府工作的成效,我想大家都有目共睹的。尤其是在国际安全问题上,我们成功击毙了基地头号大亨本拉登,为我们在9-11恐怖袭击中遇难的兄弟姐妹们报了仇、血了恨!同时也极大的鼓舞了美国人民反恐的决心和信心,为我们创造了一个和平安宁的国际环境的目标又走近了成功的一步!此外,我们还结束了长达8年的伊拉克战争,顺利地撤军伊拉克,让他们自己来管理国家事务,把民主自由、和平安宁交给了他们。而军人的凯旋回归证明了我们国家的战斗力无坚不摧、军人素质和军事力量是一支强劲的王者之师。这还让我们的军人及其家人更加安心,因为他们可以团聚了,亲人们再以不用忐忑不安地惦记他们,军人则也免除了受战争带来牺牲的风险,这一切无论对我国还是伊拉克来说都是一件喜事、好事!百度影音
本届政府将在原来政策和方针下,进一步完善和改进未完成的任务。用灵活新颖工作模式,努力处理好国内事务和国际事件。经济、就业、安全、社会福利是国内事务必须做好的四个点,因为这些因素是制约美国发展进步的关键,只有把这些做好了,才能为大家交上一份满意的答卷,才能做到我作为一名总统的职责。在国际问题上,我们会继续加强巩固与原盟国关系,并协调好和一些国家、地区间的关系。在东欧导弹部署问题上,我们将会以美国及其盟国利益为第一的基础上和某些国家和平谈判。但是,要知道作为世界和平卫士的美国推行的全球
战略的目标不会动摇。在中东和北非问题上,我们会以军事和外交手段双管齐下,支持一些新生的民主势力,让那些身陷独裁专权统治下的人民获得解放、获得自由、过上快乐幸福的生活。同时让我国大型石油公司和汽车公司、电子数码企业,在这些经过新生民主洗礼的净土上投资建厂,给这片曾经生灵涂炭的土地上的人们带来雄厚的资本和先进的科技,让他们生活的的更好。同时这也会实现我国经济和商业不断腾飞、使我国更加富有、人民就业率和薪水有大幅的提高、社会福利更加优越,生活更加美满幸福!
在亚太各种纠纷争端中,我们会尽最大努力保持该地区的和平稳定,积极与有关国家谈判,对任何国家和政府释放善意,宽容而博大的美国人民永远敞开心扉,愿以真诚务实的态度提出建设性意见来发展彼此间的关系。亚太经济圈是美国对外贸易最为活跃和重要的地区之一,因此我们重视发展和这一地区国家的关系。愿意在与之平等尊重基础上解决过去和未来遇到的各种问题,把这些都处理好了,我想美国人民淘宝寻金的地方就更加安全稳定了,对美国来说这是一件好事!
同胞们、朋友们,未来的道路还很长,我们需要做的还很多。真可谓:“任重而道远”。之于我,将始终以经济建设和人民福利、国家安全和社会稳定为工作重心,做好我的工作;之于你们,希望大家在各自的工作岗位上努力奋斗、力争上游。希望我们大家做好人民的公仆,为国家和人民服务,建设好我们的祖国,让美国更加强大昌盛、国泰民安!现在,请大家与我一道,用兢兢业业的工作、用实际的行动、用积极的心态共同迎接美利坚一个更美好的明天吧!
感谢大家,上帝保佑你们,上帝保佑美利坚合众国!

奥巴马就职演讲稿(中文)
你好,芝加哥:
美国是一个一切皆有可能的地方,如果还有人对这一点心存怀疑,如果还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们时代是否还有活力,还有人怀疑我们民主制度的力量,那么,你们今晚正是对那些疑问作出了回答。
在学校和教堂周围所出现的前所未有的长队是答案,这个国家从未见过这么多的人前来投票,人们排三个、四个小时的队来进行有生以来的第一次投票,因为他们相信这一次将会不同,他们发出的声音可能就是那个差别。
这是一个年轻人和年老人、富人和穷人、民主党人和共和党人、黑人、白人、西班牙裔人、亚裔、印第安人、同性恋和异性恋、残障人士和健全人士所作出的回答。美国人向世界发出一个信息:我们从不只是一些个人的累加或者“红色州”和“蓝色州”的累加。
我们是,我们永远是美利坚合众国。
这是一个引导人们的答案,太多的人在很长的时间内给他们说这个答案,以至于他们对此持愤世疾俗的态度,对我们是否可以再一次把握历史的希望感到担心和怀疑。
已经过去了很长时间,但是今晚,由于我们今天在这场选举所采取的行动,在这个决定性的时候,变革来到了美国。
今晚早些时候,我接到来自参议员麦凯恩的一个特别有风度的电话。麦凯恩在这场选战中进行了长期和艰苦的努力,他为这个他所爱的国家战斗了更长的时间,作出了更艰苦的努力。他为美国承受了我们中的大多数人无法想像的牺牲。由于这位勇敢和无私领导人的服务,我们的生活变得更好。
我向他表示祝贺,我向佩林州长表示祝贺,向他们所取得的成果表示祝贺,我盼望与他们共事以继续这个国家在未来岁月的承诺。
我想感谢我在竞选旅程的伙伴,一位用心竞选的男士,一位为和他一起在斯克兰顿街头一同长大的男人和女子代言、经常坐火车回特拉华州的男士,美国当选副总统拜登。
如果没有我过去16年最好的朋友、我们家庭的中坚、我生命中的挚爱,我今天晚上不可能站在这里,美国下一位第一夫人米歇尔-奥巴马。
萨沙和马莉娅,我爱你们,我对你们的爱超出了你们的想象。你们已赢得了新的宠物狗,它将和我们一起前往新的白宫。
尽管她没能和我们在一起,但我知道,我的祖母和养大我的家人在看着我,我今晚很想念他们,我知道我欠他们的东西是无法计量的。我的妹妹马娅、我的姐姐奥玛,我其他的兄弟和姐妹,非常感谢你们对我的支持,我感谢他们。我的妹妹马娅、我的姐姐奥玛,我其他的兄弟和姐妹,非常感谢你们对我的支持,我感谢他们。
我的竞选经理大卫-普劳夫,这位竞选活动的无名英雄,他进行了最好的政治竞选活动,我认为这是美国历史上最棒的。
我的首席策略师大卫-艾克斯罗德,他一直是追随我的伙伴。你们组建了政治史但最重要的是,我永远不会忘记这场胜利真正属于谁,它属于你们,它属于你们。
我从来不是最有可能获得这一职务的候选人。我们刚开始并没有太多资金,也没有得到许多人的支持。我们的竞选活动并非始自华盛顿的大厅里,而是始
于得梅因、康科德、查尔斯顿这些地方的普通民众家中。那些辛勤工作的人们从自己微薄的储蓄中捐出5美元、10美元、20美元。
竞选活动因为年轻人的支持而越来越有声势,他们拒绝了他们那一代对政治不感兴趣的神话,他们离开家,从事那些薪水少而且辛苦的工作。
竞选活动的声势也来自那些已不再年轻的人们,他们冒着严寒酷暑,敲开陌生人的家门进行竞选宣传;竞选声势也源自数百万的美国民众,他们充当志愿者和组织者,他们证明了在两百多年以后,民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。这是你们的胜利。
这是你们的胜利。
我知道你们的所做的一切并不只是为了赢得选举,我也知道你们做这一切并不是为了我。你们这样做是因为你们明白前面的任务有多么艰巨。即便我们今晚欢呼庆祝,我们也知道明天将面临我们一生之中最艰难的挑战——两场战争、一个面临危险的星球,一个世纪以来最严重的金融危机。
就在我们今晚站在这里的时刻,我们知道勇敢的美国士兵在伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中醒来,他们冒着生命危险来保护着我们的生命。仍有在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠的父母,他们担心如何偿还按揭月供、付医药费或是存够钱让孩子上大学。
我们需要开发新的能源、创造新的工作岗位,我们需要修建新学校,应对众多威胁、修复与许多国家的盟友关系。
前方的道路将很漫长,我们攀登的脚步会很艰辛。我们可能无法在一年甚至一个任期内实现这些目标,但我从未像今晚这样满怀希望,我们将实现我们的目标。
我向你们承诺——我们作为一个整体将会达成目标。
我们会遭遇挫折和不成功的起步。我作为总统所做的每项决定或政策,会有许多人持有异议,我们也知道,政府不能解决所有问题。
但我将总是会向你们坦陈我们所面临的挑战。我会听取你们的意见,尤其是存在不同意见的时候。最重要的是,我会请求你们参与重建这个国家,以美国221年来从未改变的唯一方式-一砖一瓦、同心协力。
21个月前在寒冬所开始的一切不应当在今天这个秋夜结束。今天的选举胜利并不是我们所寻求的改变--这只是我们进行改变的机会。如果我们仍然按照过去的方式行事,我们所寻求的改变将不会发生。
没有你们,没有服务和牺牲的新精神,就不可能发生改变。
因此,让我们发扬新的爱国和负责精神,所有的人都下定决心参与其中,更加努力地工作,不仅是为自己而是为彼此。让我们记住这一点,如果说这场金融危机教会了我们什么东西的话,那就是我们不可能在金融以外的领域处于困境的同时拥有繁荣兴旺的华尔街。
在这个国家,我们患难与共。让我们抵制重走老路的诱惑,避免重新回到令美国政治长期深受毒害的党派纷争、小题大作、不成熟的表现。
让我们记住,是伊利诺伊州的一名男子首次将共和党的旗帜扛到了白宫。共和党是建立在自立、个人自由以及国家团结的价值观之上的。
这也是我们所有人共同的价值观。虽然民主党今天晚上赢得了巨大的胜利,但我们是以谦卑的态度和弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧的决心赢得这场胜利的。林肯在向远比我们眼下分歧更大的国家发表讲话时说,我们不是敌人,而是朋友……虽然激情可能会褪去,但这不会割断我们感情上的联系。
对于那些现在没有投票给我的美国人,我想说,我可能没有赢得你们的选票,但是我听到了你们的声音,我需要你们的帮助,而且我也将是你们的总统。对于那些彻夜关注美国大选的海外人士,从国会到皇宫,以及在被遗忘的角落里挤在收音机旁的人们,我们的经历虽然各有不同,但是我们的命运是一样的,新的美国领导层已产生了。
那些想要颠覆这个世界的人们,我们将击败你们。那些追求和平和安全的人们,我们支持你们。那些所有怀疑美国的灯塔能否能像以前一样明亮的人们,今天晚上我们再次证明,我们国家真正的力量并非来自我们武器的威力或财富的规模,而是来自我们理想的持久力量:民主、自由、机会、不屈服的希望。这才是美国真正的精华——美国能够改变。我们的联邦会日渐完美。我们现在已取得的成就为我们将来能够取得和必须取得的成就增添了希望。
这次大选创造了多项第一,也诞生了很多将世代流传的故事。但是今天晚上令我难忘的却是在亚特兰大投票的一名妇女:安-尼克松-库波尔。她和其他数百万排队等待投票的选民没有什么差别,除了一点:她已是106岁的高龄。她出生的那个时代奴隶制度刚刚结束;那时路上没有汽车,天上也没有飞机。当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票,首先她是女性,其次她是黑人。今天晚上,我想到了她在美国过去一百年间所经历的种种:心痛和希望;斗争和进步;在那里时代,我们被告知我们办不到,一些人继续坚信着美国的信念——是的,我们能做到。
妇女当时没有投票权,她们的希望被挫败,但是安-尼克松-库波尔活着看到妇女们站了起来,看到她们站出来发表自己的见解,看到她们参加大选投票。是的,我们能做到。
当30年代的沙尘暴和大萧条使人们感到绝望时,她看到一个国家用新政、新的就业机会以及对新目标的共同追求战胜恐慌。是的,我们能做到。
当炸弹袭击了我们的港口、暴政威胁到全世界,她见证了一代美国人的伟大崛起,见证了一个民主国家获得拯救。是的,我们能做到。
她看到蒙哥马利通了公共汽车、伯明翰接上了水管、塞尔马建了桥,一位来自亚特兰大的传教士告诉人们:“我们将克服阻力。”是的,我们能做到。人类登上月球、柏林墙倒下,世界被我们的科学和想像被连接在一起。今年,在这场选举中,她用手指触摸屏幕投下自己的选票,因为在美国生活了106年之后,经历了最好的时光和最黑暗的时刻之后,她知道美国如何能够发生变革。是的,我们能做到
美国,我们已经走过了一条漫漫长路。我们已经历了很多。但是我们仍有很多事情要做。因此今夜,请让我们自问--如果我们的孩子能够活到下个世纪;如果我的女儿有幸活得和安一样长,她们将会看到怎样的改变?我们将会取得什么样的进步。
现在是我们回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻。
这是我们的时代--让我们的人民重新就业,为我们的后代敞开机会之门,恢复繁荣,推进和平,重新确立“美国梦”,再次证明这样一个基本的真理:我们是一家人;只要一息尚存,我们就有希望;当我们遇到嘲讽和怀疑,当有人说我们办不到的时候,我们要以这个永恒的信条来回应他们。是的,我们能做到感谢你们。上帝保佑你们。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。

Hello, Chicago.If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.美国是一个一切皆有可能的地方,如果还有人对这一点心存怀疑,如果还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们时代是否还有活力,还有人怀疑我们民主制度的力量,那么,你们今晚正是对那些疑问作出了回答。
It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.在学校和教堂周围所出现的前所未有的长队是答案,这个国家从未见过这么多的人前来投票,人们排三个、四个小时的队来进行有生以来的第一次投票,因为他们相信这一次将会不同,他们发出的声音可能就是那个差别。
It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.这是一个年轻人和年老人、富人和穷人、民主党人和共和党人、黑人、白人、西班牙裔人、亚裔、印第安人、同性恋和异性恋、残障人士和健全人士所作出的回答。美国人向世界发出一个信息:我们从不只是一些个人的累加或者“红色州”和“蓝色州”的累加。
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我们是,我们永远是美利坚合众国。
It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.这是一个引导人们的答案,太多的人在很长的时间内给他们说这个答案,以至于他们对此持愤世疾俗的态度,对我们是否可以再一次把握历史的希望感到担心和怀疑。
It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.已经过去了很长时间,但是今晚,由于我们今天在这场选举所采取的行动,在这个决定性的时候,变革来到了美国。
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.今晚早些时候,我接到来自参议员麦凯恩的一个特别有风度的电话。
Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign.And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine.We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.麦凯恩在这场选战中进行了长期和艰苦的努力,他为这个他所爱的国家战斗了更长的时间,作出了更艰苦的努力。他为美国承受了我们中的大多数人无法想像的牺牲。由于这位勇敢和无私领导人的服务,我们的生活变得更好。
I congratulate him;I congratulate Gov.Palin for all that they’ve achieved.And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.我向他表示祝贺,我向佩林州长表示祝贺,向他们所取得的成果表示祝贺,我盼望与他们共事以继续这个国家在未来岁月的承诺。
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.我想感谢我在竞选旅程的伙伴,一位用心竞选的男士,一位为和他一起在斯克兰顿街头一同长大的男人和女子代言、经常坐火车回特拉华州的男士,美国当选副总统拜登。
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.如果没有我过去16年最好的朋友、我们家庭的中坚、我生命中的挚爱,我今天晚上不可能站在这里,美国下一位第一夫人米歇尔-奥巴马。
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine.And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.萨沙和马莉娅,我爱你们,我对你们的爱超出了你们的想象。你们已赢得了新的宠物狗,它将和我们一起前往新的白宫。
And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight.I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.尽管她没能和我们在一起,但我知道,我的祖母和养大我的家人在看着我,我今晚很想念他们,我知道我欠他们的东西是无法计量的。我的妹妹马娅、我的姐姐奥玛,我其他的兄弟和姐妹,非常感谢你们对我的支持,我感谢他们。
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me.I am grateful to them.我的妹妹马娅、我的姐姐奥玛,我其他的兄弟和姐妹,非常感谢你们对我的支持,我感谢他们。

2008奥巴马就职演讲稿
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible;who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time;who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen;by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states;we are, and always will be, the United States of America.It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.I just received a very gracious call from Sen.McCain.He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him and Gov.Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.To my campaign manager, David Plouffe;my chief strategist, David Axelrod;and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.We didn't start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington — it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy;who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep;from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth.This is your victory.I know you didn't do this just to win an election, and I know you didn't do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college.There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you: We as a people will get there.There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It cannot happen without you.So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism;of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.In this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity.Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends...Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.” And, to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.For that is the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes, we can.When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose.Yes, we can.When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes, we can.She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes, we can.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes, we can.America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
第五篇:奥巴马就职演讲稿
My fellow citizens: 各位同胞:
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.今天我站在这里,为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑,对各位的信任心怀感激,对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务,也感 谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。
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.四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言,这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表,或是在乌云密布,时局动荡之时。在艰困的时候,美国 能箕裘相继,不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景,也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心,也忠于创建我国的法统。
So it has been.So it must be with this generation of Americans.因此,美国才能承继下来。因此,这一代美国人必须承继下去。
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.现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心,我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。我们的经济元气大伤,是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果,也是 大众未能做出艰难的选择,为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。许多人失去房子,丢了工作,生意垮了。我们的医疗照护太昂贵,学校教育辜负了 许多人。每天都有更多证据显示,我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌,威胁我们的星球。
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics.Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our landthey will be met.今天我要告诉各位,我们面临的挑战是真的,挑战非常严重,且不在少数。它们不是可以轻易,或在短时间内解决。但是,美国要了解,这些 挑战会被解决。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.在这一天,我们聚在一起,因为我们选择希望而非恐惧,有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。
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.在这一天,我们来此宣示,那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结,那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit;to choose our better history;to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.我们仍是个年轻的国家,但借用圣经的话,摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了,重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了,选择我们更好的历史,实践那种代 代传承的珍贵权利,那种高贵的理念:就是上帝的应许,我们每个人都是平等的,每个人都是自由的,每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.It must be earned.Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less.It has not been the path for the faint-heartedsome celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.再次肯定我们国家的伟大,我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来,必须努力达成。我们的旅程从来就不是抄捷径或很容易就满足。这条路一直都不是给 不勇敢的人走的,那些偏好逸乐胜过工作,或者只想追求名利就满足的人。恰恰相反,走这条路的始终是勇于冒险的人,做事的人,成事的人,其中有些人很出名,但更常见的是在各自岗位上的男男女女无名英雄,在这条漫长崎区的道路上支撑我们,迈向繁荣与自由。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.为了我们,他们携带很少的家当,远渡重洋,追寻新生活。
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West;endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.为了我们,他们胼手胝足,在西部安顿下来;忍受风吹雨打,筚路蓝缕。
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg;Normandy and Khe Sanh.为了我们,他们奋斗不懈,在康科特和盖茨堡,诺曼地和溪山等地葬身。
Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life.They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions;greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.前人不断的奋斗与牺牲,直到双手皮开肉绽,我们才能享有比较好的生活。他们将美国视为大于所有个人企图心总和的整体,超越出身、财富 或小圈圈的差异。
This is the journey we continue today.We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth.Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began.Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year.Our capacity remains undiminished.But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisionsnot only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost.We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.All this we can do.And all this we will do.我们无论朝何处望去,都有工作必须完成。经济情势需要大胆、迅速的行动,我们将有所行动,不光是创造新工作,更要奠定成长的新基础。我们将造桥铺路,为企业兴建电力网格与数位线路,将我们联系在一起。我们将让科学回归合适的用途,运用科技的奇迹来提高医疗品质并降 低费用。我们将利用太阳能、风力和土壤作为汽车的燃料和工厂的能源。我们将让中小学及大专院校转型,因应新时代的需要。这些我们可以 作到。我们也将会作到
适应角色转变,扎实开展团的工作
———共青团铁东区委书记的述职报告
2011年是适应角色转变、思想进一步成熟的一年。这一年,自己能够坚持正确的政治方向,紧紧围绕党的中心,立足本职岗位,较好地完成本线的工作任务。自己政治觉悟、理论水平、思想素质、工作作风等各方面有了明显的进步和提高。总的来说,收获很大,感触颇深。
一、以德为先,进一步提升个人思想素质
过去的一年,我以一个共产党员的标准,以一个团干部的标准严格要求自己,在个人的道德修养、党性锻炼、思想素质上有了很大的进步。一是道德修养进一步提高。作为一个团干部,我的一言一行、我的自身形象将直接影响到团委各成员,甚至更广大的青少年。因此,在日常的工作和生活中,我每时每刻提醒自己,从小事做起,注重细节问题,做到干净做人、公正做事,以平常心看待自己的工作,要求自己在工作中诚实、守信、廉洁、自律,起好表率作用。二是党性锻炼得到不断加强。不断加强自己的党性锻炼,我严格按照《党章》和《中国共产党党员纪律处分条例》来要求和约束自己的行为,牢记党的宗旨,在团的工作中,以广大青少年的权益为出发点,务求时效。三是政治思想素质不断提高。一年来,我继续加强学习,积极参加理论中心组学习,经常自发利用休息时间学习,积极参加团省委组织赴井冈山革命传统与理想信念教育专题培训班、区委区政府组织赴清华大学县域经济培训班,通过“看、听、学、思”,进一步加深了对马列主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想的理解,进一步系统掌握了党在农村的路线、方针、政策以及对共青团工作的要求。特别是党的十七届六中全会以来,我通过学习原文、听专家讲课等,开拓了思想新境界,政治思想素质有了新的飞跃。
二、以能为先,进一步加强组织工作能力
在上级领导的信任和支持下,我本人也自加压力,抓住一切机会学习,注重与同事、与兄弟单位团委书记的交流,虚心请教,不耻下问,使各项工作都有序地开展。一是工作的统筹安排能力不断加强。我尽量做到工作提前一步,有计划、有安排、有预见性,保持思路清晰和决策的科学,力求操作有序,顺利开展。二是工作的协调能力不断加强。在工作中,我注重与上级的及时衔接、汇报,同时也注重与基层的交流沟通,听取多方意见和建议,从大局出发,对上做好配合,对下做好团结。三是有创新地开展工作。在工作中,我注重不断创新,使工作保持生机,使管理不断趋向人性化、合理化。
三、以勤为先,进一步提高团的业务水平
担任团委书记以来,认真了解情况、掌握知识,积极向团委领导、向前任书记学习、请教,了解团情、团史,努力掌握团的基本运作方式程序,便于更好地开展工作。加强沟通了解,增加感情,深入基层,了解基层团组织和团员青年的有关情况,以“活动”来强化自己的知识和水平。一年来,我立足以活动来促使自己尽快适应角色,迎接挑战。今年五四,团区委以全区人居环境整治为依托,以“五四火炬传承九十二载生生不息,铁东青年投入人居环境立志强区”为引领,积极开展了“共青团路,红领巾街”,“铁东青年林”等一系列活动。在活动中,增长了知识,深化了理解,使自己对团务工作有了全面的、系统的提高,为今后更好地提高团的业务水平打下了坚实的基础。
四、以绩为先,进一步完善团的组织建设
把《关于进一步深化“党建带团建”工作的实施意见》落到实处,把党的要求贯彻落实到团的建设中去,使团的建设纳入党的建设的总体规划。依托党建,从政策层面来解决和落实基层团组织存在的问题和困难。一是基层团干部的待遇问题。积极争取党组织在团干部配备上的重视和支持,基层团干“转业”得到了很好的安排(叶赫的荣威,住建局遇良,卫生局王国宴等);二是解决好基层团组织活动的经费问题。积极争取专项,今年为每个乡镇街道从团省委争取经费三千元,共计三万六千元;三是团的基层组织格局创新工作。按照“1+4+N”模式,通过换届调整选配了大批乡镇(街道)团干部,变原有的“团干部兼职”模式为现在的“兼职团干部”模式,提升了基层团组织的凝聚力和战斗力。此次工作得到了团市委的充分认可,2011年四平市组织部班工作会议在我区召开。
以服务青年需求为目的,从单一组织青年开展活动转到生产环节,开展就业培训、创业交流、贫富结对;以服务党政中心为目的,发挥团组织自身优势,引导青年树立市场意识和投资意识,强化科技意识和参与意识,投身知识化、信息化和现代化、文明创建、环境整治、植绿护绿、社会治安等活动,把党政思路实践好。突出做好当前新兴的农村、社区和非公经济组织建团工作,延长团的工作手臂,丰富团的组织形式。先后与农联社、吉林银行等多家金融机构积极协调,为青年创业就业提供帮扶支持。特别是吉林银行的“吉青时代”小额贷款项目更得到团省委的无偿贴息。
五、以廉为先,进一步保持清正廉明形象
作为新任职的年轻干部、党员干部,我既感受到了组织的信任与关怀,同时也感受到了责任重大。我区在党委和政府的带领下,励精图治、奋发图强,取得了辉煌的成绩。越是这种时候,就越需要我们这些干部保持清醒的头脑,保持共产党员的先进本色。深知,作为一级干部,应该努力做到“清正廉洁”。古人说“物必自腐而虫生”,腐败现象表现上看来是经济问题、道德问题,但深层次的原因却是理想信念出了问题。要不断加强实践锻炼,要结合党的历史经验、改革开放和社会主义建设的实践以及自己的工作和思想实际,来刻苦磨炼自己。勇于剖析自己,积极开展自我批评,净化自己的灵魂。不断增强拒腐防变意识。在思想上、在行动上、生活中争作表率。在团区委开展“争做勤廉表率,竭诚服务青年”主题教育,召开机关党风廉政建设宣传教育活动动员会,全面启动党风廉政建设宣教活动。按照学习贯彻区委、区纪委关于党风廉政建设和反腐败工作的部署和要求,学习党的十七届六中精神,强化组织领导,制定工作计划。我们根据2011年党风廉政建设责任制考评要求,为了做好党风廉政建设和反腐败工作,成立了团区委党风廉政建设领导小组,并由我任组长。按照“一岗双责”的责任要求,明确了单位正职领导作为第一责任人,每年约谈团干部一次,就有关廉洁从政个人“不准”和“禁止”行为适时对所管的团干部进行廉政谈话。
在2012年即将到来之际,共青团区委迎来组织部考核组,对共青团区委一年来的工作进的实地测评,感谢组织的帮助与关怀,今后我们更要自觉地接受组织的监督与考核。铁东区的发展已经取得了令人瞩目的成就,而今又开始了新的征途。广大青年有幸成为亲历者,成为追随者,同时我们也是共享发展成果的受益者。我们应该心怀感恩,心存畏惧,“做一个组织和群众信赖的人,做一个同事和朋友敬重的人,做一个亲属子女可以引以为荣的人,做一个回顾人生能够问心无愧的人”。我们要牢记党的宗旨,全面贯彻党的方针路线,高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜,弘扬“攻坚克难、求富图强”的四平精神,坚定不移的实施 “五区”战略的发展规划,为建设富裕和谐新铁东的伟大目标而不懈奋斗。
