I thank President Bush for his service to ournation, as well as the gener
2、osity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken duringrising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidstgathering clouds and raging storms. At these
3、 moments, America has carried on not simplybecause of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remainedfaithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the mi
4、dst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against afar-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence ofgreed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hardchoices and prepare the nation for a new age. H
5、omes have been lost; jobs shed; businessesshuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings furtherevidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less m
6、easurable but no lessprofound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that Americas decline isinevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. Theywill not be met easily or
7、in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflictand discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, therecriminations and worn out dogmas, that f
8、or far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childishthings. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carryforward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from gen
9、eration to generation: theGod-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their fullmeasure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. Itmust be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or
10、 settling for less. It has not beenthe path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasuresof riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - somecelebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who hav
11、e carried us up thelong, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of anew life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip andplowed the hard earth.For us, they fought
12、 and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh.Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands wereraw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individualambitions; greater than all the differ
13、ences of birth or wealth or faction.This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation onEarth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no lessinventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last mo
14、nth or lastyear. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrowinterests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, wemust pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.For everywher
15、e we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action,bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation forgrowth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed ourcommerce and bind us together. W
16、e will restore science to its rightful place, and wieldtechnologys wonders to raise health cares quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sunand the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform ourschools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. Andall this we will do.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that
