And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. 因此，美国同胞们，不要问国家能为你们做些什么、而要问你们能为国家做些什么。 全世界的公民们，不要问美国将为你们做些什么，而要问我们共同能为人类的自由做些什么。 Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.
