I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. 我今天站在这里，以谦卑的心情面对着在我面前的使命，对于你们赋予我的信任心存感激，也不敢遗忘开国先贤们所作的牺牲。我感谢布什总统为我们国家所作的服务、以及在政权交接过程中他所展示的大度及合作。 Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms.

Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. 我们现在非常了解我们正处于危机之中。我们的国家正在作战状态，对抗一个暴力和仇恨的广大网络。我们的经济大大受到削弱，这不仅是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果，也是我们在做出艰难抉择，为国家进入新时代进行准备方面的共同失误所使然。房屋失去了；工作机会流失了；商业陷入凋敝的困境。我们的医疗费用过于昂贵；我们有太多的学校令人失望；每天都有更多的证据显示，我们使用能源的方式只能令我们的对手变强，同时威胁到我们的星球。 These are the indicators of crisis, subj
