We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional what makes us American is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每一次我们聚在一起见证总统就职，我们都在见证美国宪法的持久力量。我们都在确认美国民主制度的承诺。我们再度记起，让这个国家凝聚在一起的，不是我们的肤色、我们的信仰、我们名字的起源。让我们变得独特、让我们成为美国人的，是我们对两个多世纪前一项宣言中明确表达出来的一种信念的忠诚。 #39;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.#39; 我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的：人人生而平等，造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，包括生存权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。 Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed. 今天我们继续着一个永无终点的旅程，将这些话语的含义与当代现实结合起来。历史告诉我们，尽管这些真理可能是不言而喻的，却从不会自动执行；尽管自由是上帝给予我们的礼物，却必须由他在地球上的子民来捍卫。1776年的爱国者们奋力斗争，并不是为了用少数人的特权或一帮乌合之众的统治来取代国王的暴政。他们给了我们一个共和国，一个民有、民治
