Fellow Citizens: 同胞们：
I AM again called upon by the voice of my country to execute the functions of its Chief Magistrate. When the occasion proper for it shall arrive, I shall endeavor to express the high sense I entertain of this distinguished honor, and of the confidence which has been reposed in me by the people of united America. 我再次被我的祖国的声音召唤，履行国家元首的职责。当合适的时机到来时，我将努力表达我对这一崇高荣誉以及美利坚合众国人民对我的信任的深切感受。
Previous to the execution of any official act of the President the Constitution requires an oath of office. This oath I am now about to take, and in your presence: That if it shall be found during my administration of the Government I have in any instance violated willingly or knowingly the injunctions thereof, I may (besides incurring constitutional punishment) be subject to the upbraidings of all who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony. 在总统执行任何公务之前，宪法要求宣誓就职。我现在就在你们面前宣誓：如果在我执政期间发现我有任何故意或明知故犯地违反宪法禁令的行为，我愿（除了接受宪法的惩罚外）受到现在见证这一庄严仪式的所有人的谴责。
