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.
我們今天慶祝的并不是一次政黨的勝利，而是一次自由的慶典；它象征著結(jié)束，也象征著開(kāi)始；意味著更新，也意味著變革。
For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.
因?yàn)槲乙言谀銈兒腿艿纳系勖媲埃髁烁覀冏嫦葘⒔挥炙姆种兰o(jì)以前所擬定的相同的莊嚴(yán)誓言。

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.
可是我們祖先奮斗不息所維護(hù)的革命信念，在世界各地仍處于爭(zhēng)論之中。那信念就是注定人權(quán)并非來(lái)自政府的慷慨施與，而是上帝所賜。
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution.
我們今天不敢忘記我們是那第一次革命的繼承人.
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
讓我從此時(shí)此地告訴我們的朋友，并且也告訴我們的敵人，這支火炬已傳交新一代的美國(guó)人，
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
他們出生在本世紀(jì)，經(jīng)歷過(guò)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的鍛煉，受過(guò)嚴(yán)酷而艱苦的和平的熏陶，以我們的古代傳統(tǒng)自豪，
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.
而且不愿目睹或容許人權(quán)逐步被褫奪。對(duì)于這些人權(quán)我國(guó)一向堅(jiān)貞不移，當(dāng)前在國(guó)內(nèi)和全世界我們也是對(duì)此力加維護(hù)的。
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,
讓每一個(gè)國(guó)家知道，不管它盼我們好或盼我們壞，我們將付出任何代價(jià)，忍受任何重負(fù)，應(yīng)付任何艱辛，支持任何朋友，
oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
反對(duì)任何敵人，以確保自由的存在與實(shí)現(xiàn)。
This much we pledge and more.
這是我們矢志不移的事 而且還不止此。
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends.
對(duì)于那些和我們擁有共同文化和精神傳統(tǒng)的老盟邦，我們保證以摯友之誠(chéng)相待。
United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures.
只要團(tuán)結(jié)，則在許多合作事業(yè)中幾乎沒(méi)有什么是辦不到的。
Divided there is little we can do for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.
倘若分裂，我們則無(wú)可作為，因?yàn)槲覀冊(cè)谝庖?jiàn)分歧、各行其是的情況下，是不敢應(yīng)付強(qiáng)大挑戰(zhàn)的。
