篇一:肯尼迪总统就职演讲MP3

肯尼迪总统就职演说 (1961年1月20日)inaugural address of john f. kennedyjanuary 20, 1961vice president johnson, mr. speaker, mr. chief justice, president eisenhower, vice president nixon, president truman, reverend clergy, fellow

citizens:

约翰逊副总统、议长先生、首席大法官先生、艾森豪威尔总统、尼克松副总统、杜鲁门

总统、尊敬的牧师、同胞们:we observe 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 and almighty god the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a

century and three-quarters ago.我们今天所看到的,并非是某一党派的胜利,而是自由的庆典。它象征着结束,亦象征

着开始;意味着更新,亦意味着变化。因为我已在你们及万能的上帝面前,依着我们先辈175

年前写下的誓言宣誓。

今天,我们不敢有忘,我们乃是那第一次革命的后裔。此时,让这个声音从这里同时向

我们的朋友和敌人传达:火炬现已传递到新一代美国人手中——他们生于本世纪,既经受过

战火的锤炼,又经历过艰难严峻的和平岁月的考验。他们深为我们古老的遗产所自豪——决

不愿目睹或听任诸项人权受到无形的侵蚀,这些权利不仅为这个国家始终信守不渝,亦是我

们正在国内和世界上誓死捍卫的东西。 let 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. 让每一个国家都知道,无论它们对我们抱有善意还是恶意,我们都准备付出任何代价、

承受任何重任、迎战任何艰险、支持任何朋友、反对任何敌人,以使自由得以维系和胜利。 this

much we pledge -- and more.

这是我们矢志不移的承诺,且远不止此! to those 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 host of

cooperative ventures. divided there is little we can do, for we dare not meet a

powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. 对于那些与我们共享同一文化和精神源

头的老朋友,我们许以朋友的忠诚。在许许多多的合作事业中,我们会尽己所能以促进我们

的团结,而决不故意制造分裂,因为我们不敢轻易面对由分歧或体系崩溃而导致的巨大挑战。remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back

of the tiger ended up inside.对于那些新成立的国家,我们欢迎它们加入自由阵营,并在此许以忠告:某种形式的殖

民控制决不会仅仅因为被另一种更为残酷的霸权所取代就消声匿迹。我们不会期待他们始终

支持我们的观点,但我们希望他们能始终坚定地维护他们自己的自由——并且牢记,在过去,

那些愚蠢地骑上独裁的虎背以谋求权力的人最终都以葬身虎腹而告终。对于那些寄居于大半个地球上的草舍村落、为着挣脱无尽苦难的枷锁而奋斗的人民,我

们承诺将尽我们最大的努力,以使他们获得自助的能力。因为这是时代对我们提出的要求—

—不是因为共~产~党人可能如此行事、不是因为我们需要他们的选票,仅仅是因为这样做

是正当的。

if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who

are rich.

如果一个自由的社会不能帮助贫穷的多数,它就不能拯救那富裕的少数。对于我们的南部邻邦共和国,我们许以特殊的承诺:将我们的良言转为善行,在为了进

步而结成的新盟邦里,帮助自由的人民和自由的政府摆脱贫困。但这一希翼中的和平革命不

能成为敌对势力的牺牲品,让我们所有的邻邦都知道,我们将与他们一道,反对发生在美洲

任何地区的侵略和颠覆。

and let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master

of its own house.

让所有其他势力都知道,这一半球的人民致力于维护他们作为自己家园主人的地位。 对于那个主权国家的世界性会议组织——联合国,我们最后一次良好祝愿是发生在战争

机器远远超过和平机器的时代。为了防止它沦为仅仅用来谩骂攻讦的论坛,为了加强它对新

成立国家及弱小国家的保障功能、为了扩展其权力涵盖的领域,我们现在重申对它的支持承

诺。 finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not

a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace -- before the

dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or

accidental self-destruction. 最后,对于那些主动站到我们敌对面的国家,我们提出的不

是许诺,而是恳求:在被科学释放出的、黑暗的破坏力量以有计划的或偶然性的自我毁灭方

式吞噬全人类之前,恳求双方再一次地开始谋求和平的努力。 我们不敢以软弱诱惑它们,因为只有当我们的军备充足到确切无疑的程度时,我们才能

确切无疑地肯定它们永远不会被投入使用。但这两个强大的国家集团都无法从彼此当前的做

法中得到安慰——双方都背负了过高的现代武器系统的成本、双方都理所当然地对致死性原

子武器的持续扩散感到惊恐不安,但双方都竞相改变不确定的恐怖均衡,这种均衡恰恰抑制

了人类最后摊牌的冲动。

let us never negotiate out of fear. but let us never fear to negotiate. 让我

们永远不要因为惧怕而谈判,让我们永远不要惧怕谈判。let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems

which divide us. 让双方探寻那些能将我们团结在一起的因素,而不是那些刻意挑出那些分裂我们的因素。

let 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. 让双方首先提出认真细致的方案来核查及控制军备,并将毁灭其他国家的绝对力量置于

所有国家的绝对控制之下。让双方努力去激发科学的奇迹,而非科学的恐怖。让我们一同探索星空、征服沙漠、消

除疾病、开发海洋深处,鼓励艺术和商业。让双方在世界每一个角落,都共同信守《圣经.以赛亚书》中的教诲——“卸下重负??

让被压迫者自由。”

and if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both

sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new world

of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved.如果合作的滩头堡能够遏制重重猜疑,让双方携手进行新的努力——不是为了建立新的

势力均衡,而是为了建立新的规则体系——以使强者正义,弱者安全,和平维系 all this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. nor will it be 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.

所有这些工作将不会在从现在起的一百天、一千天内完成,也不会在本届行政分支任期

内完成,甚至可能不会在我们的有生之年完成,但是,请让我们现在开始工作。 in your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success

or failure of our course. since this country was founded, each generation of americans

has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. the graves of young

americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.我的同胞们,我们事业的最终成败将掌握在你们的手中而不仅仅是我的手中。从这个国

家被创建那天起,每一代美国人都被召唤去证实自己对国家的忠诚。那些响应号召献身国家

的年轻美国人的安息之所遍布全球。can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, north and south,

east and west, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? will you join

in that historic effort?为了反对这些敌人,我们能够将南方与北方、东方与西方团结起来,熔铸成一个伟大的

和全球性的联盟,以确保全人类得享更为成果累累的生活吗?你们愿意参与这项历史性的努

力吗?

在世界历史的长河里,只有少数几代人被赋予了在自由面临最大危机时捍卫自由的使命,

我不会畏缩于这一责任——我欢迎它!我也不相信我们中的任何人会愿意与其他国家的人民

或其他世代的人民易地而处。我们在这场努力中所倾注的精力、信念和奉献将照耀我们的国

家以及所有为之献身的人,火焰所放射出的光芒必将普照全世界。 and so, my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what

you can do for your co(本文来自:WWW.xiaocaoFanwEn.cOM 小草范文网:肯尼迪就职演说mp3)untry.所以,我的美国同胞们,不要问你的国家为你做了什么,而应问你能为你的国家做些什

么。my fellow citizens of the world, ask not what america will do for you, but what

together we can do for the freedom of man. 我的世界同胞们,不要问美国将为你做些什么,而应问我们应该一起为了全人类的自由

做些什么finally, whether you are citizens of america or citizens of the world, ask

of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.

with a good conscience our 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. 最后,无论是美国公民还是世界其他国家的公民,请用我们要求于你们的关于力量和牺

牲的高标准来要求我们,本着我们唯一可以指望有所回报的善意良知,依着能最终裁决我们

功业的历史,让我们着手领导我们所热爱的国家,在祈求神的赐福和神的帮助的同时,也能

深切体认,在这片土地上,神的工作必定也是我们自己所应承担的使命。篇二:中英文同步

[00:55.39]读了我们的先辈在170多年前拟定的庄严誓言。

[00:55.81] the world is very different now. for man holds in his mortal

hands the power to

[01:03.59]abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. and

yet the same

[01:13.60]revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue

around the globe--the

[01:32.34]现在的世界已大不相同了,人类的巨手掌

[01:32.64]握着既能消灭人间的各种贫困,又能毁灭人间的各种生活的力量。但我们的

先辈为之奋斗的

[01:32.66]那些革命信念,在世界各地仍然有着争论。这个信念就是:人的权利井非来

自国家的慷慨,

[01:32.67]而是来自上帝恩赐。

[01:33.18] we dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution.

let the

[01:39.00]word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that

the torch has been

[01:49.76]passed to a new generation of americans--born in this century, tempered

by war,

[01:58.32]disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient

heritage--and unwilling to

[02:07.42]witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this

nation has

pay any price,

[02:58.43]

[03:00.34]今天,我们不敢忘记我们是第一次革命的继承者。让我们的朋友和敌人同样

[03:00.83]我此时此地的讲话:火炬已经传给新一代美国人。这一代人在本世纪诞生,

[03:01.33]炼,在艰难困苦的和平时期受过陶冶,他们为我国悠久的传统感到自豪——

他们不愿目睹或

[03:01.96]听任我国一向保证的、今天仍在国内外作出保证的人权渐趋毁灭。

[03:02.46]让每个国家都知道——不论它希望我们繁荣还是希望我们衰落——为确保自

由的

[03:03.02]存在和自由的胜利,我们将付出任何代价,承受任何负担,应付任何艰难,

支持任何朋友,反抗任何敌人。

[03:04.01]this much we pledge--and more.

[03:09.01]to those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we

[03:35.82] 对那些和我们有着共同文化和精神渊源的老盟友,我们保证待以诚实

朋友那样的

[03:36.32]忠诚。我们如果团结一致,就能在许多合作事业中无在而下胜;我们如果分

[03:36.98] To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word

[03:44.34] that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced

[03:52.48]by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view.

[04:00.42]But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom--and to

[04:19.32]一种更为残酷的暴政来取代一种消失的殖民统治。我们并不总是指望他们会支持我们的观

[04:19.84]点。但我们始终希望看到他们坚强地维护自己的自由——而且要记住,在历史上,凡愚蠢地

[04:20.29]骑在虎背上谋求权力的人,都是以葬身虎口而告终。

[04:21.20]

[04:22.20]1end

[04:25.85] To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break

[04:33.77]the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for

[04:41.98]whatever period is required--not because the Communists may be doing it, not because

[04:47.99]we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are

[04:57.65]poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

[05:01.81] 对世界各地身居茅舍和乡村,为摆脱普遍贪困而斗争的人们,我们保证尽量大努

[05:02.27]力帮助他们自立,不管需要花多长时间——之所以这样做,并不是因为共产党可能正在这样

[05:02.73]做,也不是因为我们需要他们的选票,而是因为这样做是正确的,自由社会如果不能帮助众

[05:03.29]多的穷人,也就无法保全少数富人。

[05:08.19] To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge--to convert

[05:16.70]our good words into good deeds--in a new alliance for progress--to assist free men and

[05:25.80]free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope

[05:34.55]cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join

[05:44.16]with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every

[05:52.19]other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.

[05:58.91] 对我国南面的姐妹共和国,我们提出一项特殊的保证——在争取进步的新同盟

[06:00.08]中,把我们善意的话变为善意的行动,帮助自由的人们和自由的政府摆脱贫困的枷锁。但是,

[06:00.78]这种充满希望的和平革命决不可以成为敌对国家的牺牲品。我们要让所有邻国都知道,我们

[06:01.79]将和他们在一起,反对在美洲任何地区进行侵略和颠覆活动。让所有其他国家都知道,本半

[06:02.66]球的人仍然想做自己家园的主人。

[06:05.08] To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best

[06:12.45]hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace,

[06:20.84]we renew our pledge of support--to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for

[06:29.22]invective--to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak--and to enlarge the area in

[06:37.44]which its writ may run.

[06:40.16]联合国是主权国家的世界性议事机构,是我们在战争手段大大超过和平手段的时

[06:40.67]代里最后的、最美好的希望所在。因此,我们重申予以支持;防止它仅仅成为谩骂的场所;

[06:41.07]加强它对新生国家和弱小国家的保护;扩大它的行使法令的管束范围。

[06:41.42] Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer

[06:48.10]not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the

[06:57.86]dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or

[07:07.46]accidental self-destruction.

[07:09.69]最后,对那些想与我们作时的国家,我们提出一个要求而不是一项保证:在科学

[07:10.10]释放出可怕的破坏力量,把全人类卷人到预谋的或意外的自我毁灭的深渊之前,让我们双方

[07:10.51]重新开始寻求和平。

[07:10.91] We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient

[07:18.05]beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.

[07:25.11] But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our

[07:32.34]present course--both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly

[07:40.63]alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain

[07:48.87]balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.

[07:54.52]我们不敢以怯弱来引诱他们。因为只有当我们毫无疑问地拥有足够的军备,我们

[07:54.83]才能毫无疑问地确信永远下会使用这些军备。

[07:55.08] 但是,这两个强大的国家集团都无法从目前所走的道路中得到安慰——发展现代

[07:55.39]武器所需的费用使双方负担过重,致命的原子武器的不断扩散理所当然使双方忧心忡忡,但

[07:55.74]是,双方却在争着改变那制止人类发动最后战争的不移定的恐怖均势。

[07:56.10]

[07:56.22]So let us begin anew--remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of

[08:03.34]weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But

[08:12.18]let us never fear to negotiate.

[08:14.52]因此,让我们双方重新开始——双方都要牢记。礼貌并不意味着怯弱,诚意永远有侍于验证。让我们决不要由于

[08:18.91]畏惧而谈判。但我们决不能畏惧谈判。

[08:20.55]

[08:21.89]Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those

[08:28.28]problems which divide us.

[08:30.86] 让双方都来探讨使我们团结起来的问题,而不要操劳那些使我们分裂的问题。

[08:31.36] Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the

[08:37.38]inspection and control of arms--and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations

[08:46.63]under the absolute control of all nations.

[08:49.71]让双方首次为军备检查和军备控制制订认真而又明确的提案,把毁灭他国的绝对

[08:52.06]力量置于所有国家的绝对控制之下。

[08:53.36]

[08:55.22]Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.

[09:01.80]Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean

[09:12.12]depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.

[09:16.52] 让双方寻求利用科学的奇迹,而不是乞灵于科学造成的恐怖。让我们一起探索星

[09:16.82]球,征服沙漠,根除疾患,开发深梅,并鼓励艺术和商业的发展。

[09:17.12] Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah--to

[09:24.20]"undo the heavy burdens ... and to let the oppressed go free."

[09:29.11] 让双方团结起来,在全世界各个角落倾听以赛亚的训令——“解下轭上的索,使被

[09:29.46]欺压的得自由。”

[09:30.75] And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let

[09:38.68]both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world

[09:47.53]of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.

[09:55.26]

[09:55.57] 如果合作的滩头阵地的逼退猜忌的丛林,那么就让双方共同作一次新的努力:不

[09:55.87]是建立一种新的均势,而是创造一个新的法治世界,在这个世界中,强者公正,弱者安全,

[09:56.17]和平将得到维护。

[09:56.37]2-end

[09:56.57]

[09:56.84]All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first

[10:05.14]1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this

[10:14.60]planet. But let us begin.

[10:17.96]所有这一切下可能在第一个一百天内完成,也不可能在第一个一千天或者在本届

[10:20.22]政府任期内完成,甚至也许不可能在我们居住在这个星球上的有生之年内完成。但是,让我

[10:23.48]们开始吧。

[10:24.06] In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or

[10:32.93]failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has

[10:42.18]been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans

[10:50.31]who answered the call to service surround the globe.

[10:55.02] 公民们,我们方针的最终成败与其说掌握在我手中,不如说掌握在你们手中。自

[10:55.38]从合众国建立以来,每一代美国人都曾受到召唤去证明他们对国家的忠诚。响应召唤而献身

[10:55.74]的美国青年的坟墓遍及全球。

[10:56.09] Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we

[11:04.18]need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are--but a call to bear the burden of a

[11:13.79]long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"--a

[11:25.05]struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

[11:33.00] 现在,号角已再次吹响——不是召唤我们拿起武器,虽然我们需要武器,不是召

[11:33.30]唤我们去作战,虽然我们严阵以待。它召唤我们为迎接黎明而肩负起漫长斗争的

篇三:肯尼迪总统就职演说(中英文)

肯尼迪总统就职演说 (1961年1月20日)

Inaugural Address of John F. KennedyJanuary 20, 1961

Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President

Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens:

约翰逊副总统、议长先生、首席大法官先生、艾森豪威尔总统、尼克松副总统、杜鲁门总统、尊敬的牧师、同胞们:

We observe 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 and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.

我们今天所看到的,并非是某一党派的胜利,而是自由的庆典。它象征着结束,亦象征着开始;意味着更新,亦意味着变化。因为我已在你们及万能的上帝面前,依着我们先辈175年前写下的誓言宣誓。

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are 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. 世界已然今非昔比,因为人类手中已经掌握了巨大的力量,既可以用来消除各种形式的贫困,亦可用以毁灭人类社会。然而,我们先辈曾为之战斗的那些革命性的信念还依然在世界上受人争议——那就是,每个人享有的各项权利决非来自国家政权的慷慨赐予,而是出自上帝之手。

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has 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 undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

今天,我们不敢有忘,我们乃是那第一次革命的后裔。此时,让这个声音从这里同时向我们的朋友和敌人传达:火炬现已传递到新一代美国人手中——他们生于本世纪,既经受过战火的锤炼,又经历过艰难严峻的和平岁月的考验。他们深为我们古老的遗产所自豪——决不愿目睹或听任诸项人权受到无形的侵蚀,这些权利不仅为这个国家始终信守不渝,亦是我们正在国内和世界上誓死捍卫的东西。

Let 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.

让每一个国家都知道,无论它们对我们抱有善意还是恶意,我们都准备付出任何代价、承受任何重任、迎战任何艰险、支持任何朋友、反对任何敌人,以使自由得以维系和胜利。 This much we pledge -- and more.

这是我们矢志不移的承诺,且远不止此!

To those 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 host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do, for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. 对于那些与我们共享同一文化和精神源头的老朋友,我们许以朋友的忠诚。在许许多多的合作事业中,我们会尽己所能以促进我们的团结,而决不故意制造分裂,因为我们不敢轻易面对由分歧或体系崩溃而导致的巨大挑战。

To those new states 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 them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom -- and to

remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.

对于那些新成立的国家,我们欢迎它们加入自由阵营,并在此许以忠告:某种形式的殖民控制决不会仅仅因为被另一种更为残酷的霸权所取代就消声匿迹。我们不会期待他们始终支持我们的观点,但我们希望他们能始终坚定地维护他们自己的自由——并且牢记,在过去,那些愚蠢地骑上独裁的虎背以谋求权力的人最终都以葬身虎腹而告终。

To those people 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 help themselves, for whatever period is required -- not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right.

对于那些寄居于大半个地球上的草舍村落、为着挣脱无尽苦难的枷锁而奋斗的人民,我们承诺将尽我们最大的努力,以使他们获得自助的能力。因为这是时代对我们提出的要求——不是因为共~产~党人可能如此行事、不是因为我们需要他们的选票,仅仅是因为这样做是正当的。

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

如果一个自由的社会不能帮助贫穷的多数,它就不能拯救那富裕的少数。

To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas.

对于我们的南部邻邦共和国,我们许以特殊的承诺:将我们的良言转为善行,在为了进步而结成的新盟邦里,帮助自由的人民和自由的政府摆脱贫困。但这一希翼中的和平革命不能成为敌对势力的牺牲品,让我们所有的邻邦都知道,我们将与他们一道,反对发生在美洲任何地区的侵略和颠覆。

And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.

让所有其他势力都知道,这一半球的人民致力于维护他们作为自己家园主人的地位。

To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew 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 writ may run.

对于那个主权国家的世界性会议组织——联合国,我们最后一次良好祝愿是发生在战争机器远远超过和平机器的时代。为了防止它沦为仅仅用来谩骂攻讦的论坛,为了加强它对新成立国家及弱小国家的保障功能、为了扩展其权力涵盖的领域,我们现在重申对它的支持承诺。 Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace -- before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. 最后,对于那些主动站到我们敌对面的国家,我们提出的不是许诺,而是恳求:在被科学释放出的、黑暗的破坏力量以有计划的或偶然性的自我毁灭方式吞噬全人类之前,恳求双方再一次地开始谋求和平的努力。

We 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 employed. But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course -- both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war. So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof.

我们不敢以软弱诱惑它们,因为只有当我们的军备充足到确切无疑的程度时,我们才能确切无疑地肯定它们永远不会被投入使用。但这两个强大的国家集团都无法从彼此当前的做法中得到安慰——双方都背负了过高的现代武器系统的成本、双方都理所当然地对致死性原子武器的持续扩散感到惊恐不安,但双方都竞相改变不确定的恐怖均衡,这种均衡恰恰抑制了人类最后摊牌的冲动。

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. 让我们永远不要因为惧怕而谈判,让我们永远不要惧怕谈判。

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.

让双方探寻那些能将我们团结在一起的因素,而不是那些刻意挑出那些分裂我们的因素。 Let 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.

让双方首先提出认真细致的方案来核查及控制军备,并将毁灭其他国家的绝对力量置于所有国家的绝对控制之下。

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.

让双方努力去激发科学的奇迹,而非科学的恐怖。让我们一同探索星空、征服沙漠、消除疾病、开发海洋深处,鼓励艺术和商业。

Let both sides unite to heed, in all corners of the earth, the command of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens... [and] let the oppressed go free."

让双方在世界每一个角落,都共同信守《圣经.以赛亚书》中的教诲——“卸下重负……让被压迫者自由。”

And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new world of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved.

如果合作的滩头堡能够遏制重重猜疑,让双方携手进行新的努力——不是为了建立新的势力均衡,而是为了建立新的规则体系——以使强者正义,弱者安全,和平维系

All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be 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.

所有这些工作将不会在从现在起的一百天、一千天内完成,也不会在本届行政分支任期内完成,甚至可能不会在我们的有生之年完成,但是,请让我们现在开始工作。

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

我的同胞们,我们事业的最终成败将掌握在你们的手中而不仅仅是我的手中。从这个国家被创建那天起,每一代美国人都被召唤去证实自己对国家的忠诚。那些响应号召献身国家的年轻美国人的安息之所遍布全球。

Now 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 call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself. 现在,召唤的号角又一次吹响——不是号召我们扛起武器,虽然武器是我们所需要的——也不是号召我们去参加战斗,虽然我们准备战斗——而是号召我们年复一年地去进行一场漫长而未分胜负的搏斗,在希望中欢乐,而患难中忍耐,以反对人类共同的敌人:暴政、贫困、疾病以及战争本身。

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

为了反对这些敌人,我们能够将南方与北方、东方与西方团结起来,熔铸成一个伟大的和全球性的联盟,以确保全人类得享更为成果累累的生活吗?你们愿意参与这项历史性的努力吗?

In 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 that 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 serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

在世界历史的长河里,只有少数几代人被赋予了在自由面临最大危机时捍卫自由的使命,我不会畏缩于这一责任——我欢迎它!我也不相信我们中的任何人会愿意与其他国家的人民或其他世代的人民易地而处。我们在这场努力中所倾注的精力、信念和奉献将照耀我们的国家以及所有为之献身的人,火焰所放射出的光芒必将普照全世界。

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

所以,我的美国同胞们,不要问你的国家为你做了什么,而应问你能为你的国家做些什么。My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

我的世界同胞们,不要问美国将为你做些什么,而应问我们应该一起为了全人类的自由做些什么Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our 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 God's work must truly be our own.

最后,无论是美国公民还是世界其他国家的公民,请用我们要求于你们的关于力量和牺牲的高标准来要求我们,本着我们唯一可以指望有所回报的善意良知,依着能最终裁决我们功业的历史,让我们着手领导我们所热爱的国家,在祈求神的赐福和神的帮助的同时,也能深切体认,在这片土地上,神的工作必定也是我们自己所应承担的使命。
