喬治 W 布什就職演說

權利的和平過度在歷史的上是牟見的，但在美國是平常的。我們以樸素的宣言證明了古老的傳統，開始了新的歷程。

首先，我要感謝克林頓總統為這個國家做出的貢獻，也要感謝副總統謝戈爾在競選過程中的風度。

站在這里，我很榮幸，也感到謙卑。在我之前；許多美國人從這里起步；在我之后，也會有許多人從這里繼續前進。

我們每一個人在一個漫長的故事中獨有自己的位置，我們還在繼續著這個小故事，但是看不到故事的結束。是一個新大陸變成舊世界的朋友、并解放舊世界的的故事，是強國保護而不是占有世界、捍衛而不是征服世界，這就是美國的故事，使用偉大和永恒的理想，把分裂而又易于犯錯誤的民族的一代又一代人團結起來的故事。

這些理想中最偉大的是正在緩慢實現的美國的若言，這就是：每個人都有自己的價值，每個人都應該得到機會，從來沒有人天生微賤。美國人接受了召喚，要把這個若言變成生活中和法律上的現實。雖然我們的國家有時停滯不前，但是我們不會遵循其他道路。

在上個世紀的大部分時間里，美國自由民主的信念猶如洶涌大海里的礁石。如今，她是風中的種子，正在許多其他國家里扎根。民主信念不僅是國家的信念，而且是全人類與生俱來的希望；我們堅持這個理想而不會獨占，肩負這個信念并且不斷傳遞下去。將近225年過去了，但即是如此，我們h

Presidential Inauguration Speech George Walker Bush(1946-)Facts Years as President: 2001-

Party affiliation: Republican

Schools: Yale University, Harvard University

Occupations before President: Owner of oil and gas business, Governor of Texas

Did you know: The first Texas governor to be elected to two four-year terms

提示一：布什標榜自己是自由貿易的代言人，他還將在演講時強調美國在世界上的作用。

提示二：布什總是喜歡在別人面前表現得直率和規矩。布什繼承了他(克林頓)較為吸引人的淘氣的一面。

提示三：小布什在多次挫折中學會了冷靜和忍耐。他的生活座右銘是“船到橋頭自然直”。

小布什與副總統戈爾的競選大戰，經過幾次的重新點票，幾番波折，終于由小布什以微弱的票數勝出。這讓世人見識了美國的民主，美國的總統選舉，因此布什在開篇就提到。小布什2000年競選的勝利沒有明顯的優勢，他的形象也并不受歡迎。但他講話錯誤百出的問題在就職演講中收斂了很多，他的謙卑也是有目共睹的。

Presidential Inauguration Speech

Delivered on January 20, 2001

I thank you all.Chief Justice Renquist, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens:

The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.with a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.I am honored and humbled to stand here where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story A story we continued, but whose end we will not see.It is a story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old.A story of a slave holding society that became a servant of freedom.It is the American story.A story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.I will live and lead by these principles, to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility, and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.What you do is as important as any-thing government does.I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort, to defend needed reforms against easy attacks, to serve your nation beginning with your neighbor.I ask you to be citizens;citizens, not spectators;citizens, not subjects;responsible citizens building communities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves.When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it.When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginian statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson.We know the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm? Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration.The years and changes accumulate.But the themes of this day, he would know;our nation's grand story of courage, and its simple dream of dignity.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing.We renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives, and every life.This work continues.The story goes on.And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all and God bless America!

Radio Address by the President to the Nation(Text Only)The White House President George W.BushPrint this document

For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary September 21, 2002

Radio Address by the President to the Nation

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.In the past week, U.S.officials in Pakistan took custody of five al Qaeda members, including a key strategist for the September the 11th attacks.And here in America, federal agents arrested six men suspected of having trained at al Qaeda terrorist camps in Afghanistan.These arrests remind us that we are engaged in a new kind of war, fought on many fronts, including the home front.The arrests also remind us that the enemy is still at large, threatening our safety and security.Defeating terrorism requires constant vigilance and preparation by our citizens and by our government.One way for the Congress to protect the American people is to pass legislation creating a new department of homeland security.This new department must have a single, overriding responsibility, to coordinate our homeland defense efforts, which are now scattered across the government.After less than a week of debate, the House of Representatives passed a good bill, a bill that gives me the flexibility to confront emerging threats quickly and effectively.Yet after three weeks of debate, the Senate has still not passed a bill I can sign.The legislation the Senate is debating is deeply

flawed.The Senate bill would force the new department to fight against terror threats with one hand tied behind its back.The department of homeland security must be able to move people and resources quickly, to respond to threats

immediately, without being forced to comply with a thick book of bureaucratic rules.Yet the current Senate approach keeps in place a cumbersome process that can take five months to hire a needed employee, and 18 months to fire someone who is not doing his job.In the war on terror, this is time we do not have.Even worse, the Senate bill would weaken my existing authority to prohibit collective bargaining when national security is at stake.Every President since

Jimmy Carter has had this very narrow authority throughout the government, and I need this authority in the war on terror.As Democrat Senator Zell Miller said, the daunting task of securing this country is almost incomprehensible.Let's not make it more difficult by tying this President's hands and the hands of every President who comes after him.In an effort to break the logjam in the Senate, Senator Miller and Republican Senator Phil Gramm have taken the lead in crafting a bipartisan alternative to the current flawed Senate bill.I commend them, and support their approach.Their proposal would provide the new secretary of homeland security much of the flexibility he needs to move people and resources to meet new threats.It will protect every employee of the new department against illegal discrimination, and build a culture in which federal employees know they are keeping their fellow citizens safe through their service to America.I ask you to call your senators and to urge them to vote for this bipartisan

alternative.Senators Miller and Gramm, along with Senator Fred Thompson, have made great progress in putting the national interest ahead of partisan interest.I'm confident that every Senator, Republican and Democrat, wants to do what is best for America.Creating a new department of homeland security will make America stronger and safer.It is time for the Senate to act.Thank you for listening.END

Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story--a story we continue, but whose end we will not see.It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy wasa rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country.The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it.Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil.We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.Every child must be taught these principles.Every citizen must uphold them.And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility.A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small.If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led.If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism.If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share.Civility is not a tactic or a sentime nt.It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos.And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good.Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us.We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent.And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom.We will defend our allies and our interests.We will show purpose without arrogance.We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength.And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate.In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault.Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty.Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities.And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools.Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer.Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to concience.And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment.We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments.And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things.But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love.The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.What you do is as important as anything government does.I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort;to defend needed reforms against easy attacks;to serve your nation, beginning with

in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the
