I intend, on Monday next, to request of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate
我打算在下星期一請求眾議院議長和參議院臨時議長慨允我出席國會，
the privilege of appearing before the Congress to share with my former colleagues and with you, the American people,
向我過去的同事和你們，
my views on the priority business of the Nation and to solicit your views and their views.
也就是美國人民，陳述我關于必須優(yōu)先考慮的國家事務的看法，并且征求人民大眾和我以前同事們的意見。
And may I say to the Speaker and the others, if I could meet with you right after these remarks, I would appreciate it.
請允許我對議長和其他同事們說，倘若我能在講話以后很快見到你們，我將深表感謝。
Even though this is late in an election year, there is no way we can go forward except together and no way anybody can win except by serving the people's urgent needs.
盡管對于大選年來說，我們有些滯后，只有團結一致才能勇往直前，只有解決人民疾苦才能爭取勝利。
We cannot stand still or slip backwards. We must go forward now together.
我們不能停滯不前，也不能放任后退。我們要一同大步向前。
To the peoples and the governments of all friendly nations, and I hope that could encompass the whole world, I pledge an uninterrupted and sincere search for peace.
全球所有國家和人民，我希望可以覆蓋全球，在尋求和平的道路上，我們遵循坦誠相待，互不侵犯的原則。
America will remain strong and united, but its strength will remain dedicated to the safety and sanity of the entire family of man, as well as to our own precious freedom.
美國依舊富強團結，更要保證人民的安全與來之不易的自由。
I believe that truth is the glue that holds government together, not only our Government but civilization itself.
我想它是政府團結一心的紐帶，不僅對于政府，這更是文明的紐帶。
That bond, though strained, is unbroken at home and abroad.
雖然一度緊張，但它堅不可摧。
In all my public and private acts as your President,
不管是對外還是私下，
I expect to follow my instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in the end.
我都希望遵循我的坦白與開放，我完全有理由相信，坦白誠實永遠是最好的選擇。
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.
同胞們，長久以往的噩夢結束了。
Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.
憲法起到了作用；美利堅共和國是法治社會，不是人治社會。民眾管理國家。
But there is a higher Power, by whatever name we honor Him, who ordains not only righteousness but love, not only justice but mercy.
除此之前，還有一個更加崇高的力量，不管我們尊稱他為什么，他不僅擁有正義，擁有公正，還擁有愛與寬恕。
