When one surveys the world about him after the great storm, noting the marks of destruction and yet rejoicing in the ruggedness of the things which withstood it, if he is an American he breathes the clarified atmosphere with a strange mingling of regret and new hope. We have seen a world passion spend its fury, but we contemplate our Republic unshaken, and hold our civilization secure. 当一个人在大风暴过后环顾世界，看到满目疮痍却又为那些经受住风暴的坚韧事物感到欣慰时，如果他是美国人，他会在澄清的空气中感受到一种交织着遗憾与新希望的奇特心情。我们已目睹世界激情宣泄其狂暴，但我们的共和国屹立不动，我们的文明安然无恙。
Liberty--liberty within the law--and civilization are inseparable, and though both were threatened we find them now secure; and there comes to Americans the profound assurance that our representative government is the highest expression and surest guaranty of both. 自由——法律之下的自由——与文明是不可分割的，尽管两者都曾受到威胁，但如今我们发现它们安然无恙；美国人深切地确信，我们的代议制政府是两者最高的体现和最可靠的保证。
Standing in this presence, mindful of the solemnity of this occasion, feeling the emotions which no one may know until he senses the great weight of responsibility for himself, I must utter my belief in the divine inspiration of the founding fathers. Surely there must have been God's intent in the making of this new-world Republic. Ours is an organic law which had but one ambiguity, and we saw that effaced in a baptism of sacrifice and blood, with union maintained, the Nation supreme, and its concord inspiring. 站在这个庄严的场合，感受到只有亲身承担起巨大责任才能体会的情感，我必须表达我对开国元勋神圣灵感的信仰。在缔造这个新世界共和国的过程中，必定有上帝的旨意。我们的有机法律原本只有一处模糊之处，而我们通过牺牲与鲜血的洗礼消除了它，维护了联邦，确立了国家至上，其和谐令人鼓舞。
We have seen the world rivet its hopeful gaze on the great truths on which the founders wrought. We have seen civil, human, and religious liberty verified and glorified. In the beginning the Old World scoffed at our experiment; today our foundations of political and social belief stand unshaken, a precious inheritance to ourselves, an inspiring example of freedom and civilization to all mankind. Let us express renewed and strengthened devotion, in grateful reverence for the immortal beginning, and utter our confidence in the supreme fulfillment. 我们看到世界满怀希望地注视着开国元勋们所确立的伟大真理。我们看到公民、人身和宗教自由得到验证和彰显。起初旧世界嘲笑我们的试验；如今我们的政治和社会信仰根基屹立不动，成为我们珍贵的遗产，成为全人类自由与文明的鼓舞人心的榜样。让我们怀着感恩和崇敬之情，对不朽的开端表达重新焕发生机的忠诚，并对最高的实现表达我们的信心。
The recorded progress of our Republic, materially and spiritually, in itself proves the wisdom of the inherited policy of noninvolvement in Old World affairs. Confident of our ability to work out our own destiny, and jealously guarding our right to do so, we seek no part in directing the destinies of the Old World. We do not mean to be entangled. We will accept no responsibility except as our own conscience and judgment, in each instance, may determine. 我们共和国物质和精神上的记录进步本身就证明了不介入旧世界事务这一传承政策的智慧。我们有信心掌握自己的命运，并谨慎守护这样做的权利，我们无意参与指导旧世界的命运。我们不想被卷入。除非我们自己的良心和判断在每个具体情况下作出决定，否则我们不会承担任何责任。
Our eyes never will be blind to a developing menace, our ears never deaf to the call of civilization. We recognize the new order in the world, with the closer contacts which progress has wrought. We sense the call of the human heart for fellowship, fraternity, and cooperation. We crave friendship and harbor no hate. But America, our America, the America builded[see APP Note]on the foundation laid by the inspired fathers, can be a party to no permanent military alliance. 我们的眼睛永远不会对正在发展的威胁视而不见，我们的耳朵永远不会对文明的呼唤充耳不闻。我们认识到世界新秩序的到来，以及进步所带来的更紧密联系。我们感受到人类心灵对友谊、博爱与合作的呼唤。我们渴望友谊，不怀怨恨。但是美国——我们的美国，这个建立在受灵感启示的先辈们奠定的基础之上的美国——不能成为任何永久性军事联盟的一方。
It can enter into no political commitments, nor assume any economic obligations which will subject our decisions to any other than our own authority. 它不能作出任何政治承诺，也不能承担任何经济义务，使我们的决策受制于除我们自己之外的任何权威。
I am sure our own people will not misunderstand, nor will the world misconstrue. We have no thought to impede the paths to closer relationship. We wish to promote understanding. We want to do our part in making offensive warfare so hateful that Governments and peoples who resort to it must prove the righteousness of their cause or stand as outlaws before the bar of civilization. 我相信我们本国人民不会误解，世界也不会曲解。我们无意阻碍建立更紧密关系的道路。我们希望促进理解。我们愿尽自己的一份力量，使进攻性战争变得如此令人憎恶，以至于诉诸战争的政府和人民必须证明其事业的正义性，否则将在文明的法庭面前被视为罪犯。
We are ready to associate ourselves with the nations of the world, great and small, for conference, for counsel; to seek the expressed views of world opinion; to recommend a way to approximate disarmament and relieve the crushing burdens of military and naval establishments. 我们准备与世界各国，无论大小，进行协商和咨询；寻求表达世界舆论的观点；建议实现裁军和减轻军事及海军设施沉重负担的途径。
We elect to participate in suggesting plans for mediation, conciliation, and arbitration, and would gladly join in that expressed conscience of progress, which seeks to clarify and write the laws of international relationship, and establish a world court for the disposition of such justiciable questions as nations are agreed to submit thereto. 我们选择参与提出调解、调停和仲裁计划，并乐于加入那种表达进步良知的行列，这种良知旨在阐明和制定国际关系法则，并建立一个国际法庭，以处理各国同意提交的可裁判问题。
In expressing aspirations, in seeking practical plans, in translating humanity's new concept of righteousness and justice and its hatred of war into recommended action we are ready most heartily to unite, but every commitment must be made in the exercise of our national sovereignty. Since freedom impelled, and independence inspired, and nationality exalted, a world supergovernment is contrary to everything we cherish and can have no sanction by our Republic. This is not selfishness, it is sanctity. It is not aloofness, it is security. 在表达愿望、寻求切实计划、将人类新的正义和公正观念以及对战争的憎恶转化为建议行动时，我们准备全力团结，但每一项承诺都必须在行使我们国家主权的前提下作出。既然自由推动、独立激励、民族精神高扬，一个世界超级政府与我们所珍视的一切背道而驰，我们的共和国不能认可它。这不是自私，而是神圣。这不是冷漠，而是安全。
It is not suspicion of others, it is patriotic adherence to the things which made us what we are. 这不是对他人的怀疑，而是对造就我们的那些事物的爱国忠诚。
Today, better than ever before, we know the aspirations of humankind, and share them. We have come to a new realization of our place in the world and a new appraisal of our Nation by the world. The unselfishness of these United States is a thing proven; our devotion to peace for ourselves and for the world is well established; our concern for preserved civilization has had its impassioned and heroic expression. There was no American failure to resist the attempted reversion of civilization; there will be no failure today or tomorrow. 今天，我们比以往任何时候都更了解人类的愿望，并与之共鸣。我们对自己在世界上的地位有了新的认识，世界对我们国家的评价也有了新的变化。美利坚合众国的无私已得到证明；我们对自身和世界和平的奉献已深入人心；我们对维护文明的关切已得到充满激情的英勇表达。美国人在抵制文明倒退的企图中从未失败；今天和明天也不会失败。
The success of our popular government rests wholly upon the correct interpretation of the deliberate, intelligent, dependable popular will of America. In a deliberate questioning of a suggested change of national policy, where internationality was to supersede nationality, we turned to a referendum, to the American people. There was ample discussion, and there is a public mandate in manifest understanding. 我们民选政府的成功完全取决于对美国深思熟虑、明智可靠的民意的正确诠释。在对一项拟议的国家政策变革进行深思熟虑的质疑时——这项变革将以国际主义取代民族主义——我们转向全民公决，交给美国人民。讨论充分，公众的授权清晰明确。
America is ready to encourage, eager to initiate, anxious to participate in any seemly program likely to lessen the probability of war, and promote that brotherhood of mankind which must be God's highest conception of human relationship. 美国准备鼓励、渴望发起、热切参与任何可能减少战争可能性、促进人类兄弟情谊的恰当计划，这种兄弟情谊必定是上帝对人类关系的最高构想。
Because we cherish ideals of justice and peace, because we appraise international comity and helpful relationship no less highly than any people of the world, we aspire to a high place in the moral leadership of civilization, and we hold a maintained America, the proven Republic, the unshaken temple of representative democracy, to be not only an inspiration and example, but the highest agency of strengthening good will and promoting accord on both continents. 因为我们珍视正义与和平的理想，因为我们对国际礼让和有益关系的评价不亚于世界上任何民族，我们渴望在文明的道德领导中占据崇高地位。我们认为一个稳定的美国——经过考验的共和国、代议制民主的不朽殿堂——不仅是一种激励和榜样，而且是加强善意、促进两大陆和谐的最高机构。
Mankind needs a world-wide benediction of understanding. It is needed among individuals, among peoples, among governments, and it will inaugurate an era of good feeling to make the birth of a new order. In such understanding men will strive confidently for the promotion of their better relationships and nations will promote the comities so essential to peace. 人类需要一种遍及世界的理解祝福。个人之间、民族之间、政府之间都需要它，它将开创一个友好的时代，催生新秩序的诞生。在这样的理解中，人们将满怀信心地努力促进更好的关系，各国将促进对和平至关重要的友好往来。
We must understand that ties of trade bind nations in closest intimacy, and none may receive except as he gives. We have not strengthened ours in accordance with our resources or our genius, notably on our own continent, where a galaxy of Republics reflects the glory of new-world democracy, but in the new order of finance and trade we mean to promote enlarged activities and seek expanded confidence. 我们必须明白，贸易纽带将各国紧密联系在一起，没有付出就没有收获。我们尚未根据我们的资源或天赋加强我们的贸易纽带，特别是在我们自己的大陆上，那里众多共和国彰显着新世界民主的光辉。但在金融和贸易的新秩序中，我们打算促进扩大活动，寻求增强信心。
Perhaps we can make no more helpful contribution by example than prove a Republic's capacity to emerge from the wreckage of war. While the world's embittered travail did not leave us devastated lands nor desolated cities, left no gaping wounds, no breast with hate, it did involve us in the delirium of expenditure, in expanded currency and credits, in unbalanced industry, in unspeakable waste, and disturbed relationships. While it uncovered our portion of hateful selfishness at home, it also revealed the heart of America as sound and fearless, and beating in confidence unfailing. 也许我们通过榜样所能做出的最有益贡献，就是证明一个共和国有能力从战争的废墟中崛起。尽管世界痛苦的磨难没有给我们留下满目疮痍的土地或荒芜的城市，没有留下深深的创伤，没有留下仇恨的胸怀，但它使我们陷入了疯狂的支出、膨胀的货币和信贷、失衡的工业、难以言喻的浪费和混乱的关系之中。尽管它暴露了我们国内可恨的自私部分，但它也揭示了美国的心是健全无畏的，跳动着永不衰竭的信心。
Amid it all we have riveted the gaze of all civilization to the unselfishness and the righteousness of representative democracy, where our freedom never has made offensive warfare, never has sought territorial aggrandizement through force, never has turned to the arbitrament of arms until reason has been exhausted. When the Governments of the earth shall have established a freedom like our own and shall have sanctioned the pursuit of peace as we have practiced it, I believe the last sorrow and the final sacrifice of international warfare will have been written. 在这一切之中，我们让整个文明世界的目光聚焦于代议制民主的无私和正义——我们的自由从未发动过进攻性战争，从未通过武力寻求领土扩张，从未在理性用尽之前诉诸武力裁决。当地球上的政府都建立起像我们自己一样的自由，并像我们实践的那样批准对和平的追求时，我相信国际战争的最后悲伤和最终牺牲将被书写完毕。
Let me speak to the maimed and wounded soldiers who are present today, and through them convey to their comrades the gratitude of the Republic for their sacrifices in its defense. A generous country will never forget the services you rendered, and you may hope for a policy under Government that will relieve any maimed successors from taking your places on another such occasion as this. 让我向今天在场的伤残士兵们说几句话，并通过他们向他们的战友转达共和国对他们为保卫共和国所做出牺牲的感激之情。一个慷慨的国家永远不会忘记你们所做出的贡献，你们可以期待政府制定一项政策，使任何伤残的后继者无需在另一次这样的场合中接替你们的位置。
Our supreme task is the resumption of our onward, normal way. Reconstruction, readjustment, restoration all these must follow. I would like to hasten them. If it will lighten the spirit and add to the resolution with which we take up the task, let me repeat for our Nation, we shall give no people just cause to make war upon us; we hold no national prejudices; we entertain no spirit of revenge; we do not hate; we do not covet; we dream of no conquest, nor boast of armed prowess. 我们的最高任务是恢复我们前进的正常道路。重建、调整、恢复——所有这些都必须随之而来。我希望加快这些进程。如果这能振奋精神、增强我们承担任务的决心，让我为我们的国家重申：我们不会给任何国家以正当理由向我们开战；我们不抱任何民族偏见；我们不怀任何报复之心；我们不仇恨；我们不贪婪；我们不梦想征服，也不夸耀武装力量。
If, despite this attitude, war is again forced upon us, I earnestly hope a way may be found which will unify our individual and collective strength and consecrate all America, materially and spiritually, body and soul, to national defense. 如果尽管有这种态度，战争再次强加于我们，我真诚希望能找到一种方法，将我们个人和集体的力量团结起来，使整个美国——物质上和精神上，身体和灵魂——都奉献给国防事业。
I can vision the ideal republic, where every man and woman is called under the flag for assignment to duty for whatever service, military or civic, the individual is best fitted; where we may call to universal service every plant, agency, or facility, all in the sublime sacrifice for country, and not one penny of war profit shall inure to the benefit of private individual, corporation, or combination, but all above the normal shall flow into the defense chest of the Nation. 我可以想象一个理想的共和国，在那里，每一个男人和女人都被召到旗帜下，被分配到最适合他们的任何服务岗位上，无论是军事还是民事；在那里，我们可以号召每一个工厂、机构或设施投入全民服务，为国家做出崇高牺牲，战争利润的一分钱都不应归于私人个人、公司或联合体，所有超出正常范围的收入都应流入国家的国防基金。
There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with the ideals of representative democracy, when one portion of our citizenship turns its activities to private gain amid defensive war while another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying for national preservation. 当我们的一部分公民在防御性战争中将其活动转向私人利益，而另一部分人则在为国家生存而战斗、牺牲或死亡时，这在本质上是错误的，与代议制民主的理想不符。
Out of such universal service will come a new unity of spirit and purpose, a new confidence and consecration, which would make our defense impregnable, our triumph assured. Then we should have little or no disorganization of our economic, industrial, and commercial systems at home, no staggering war debts, no swollen fortunes to flout the sacrifices of our soldiers, no excuse for sedition, no pitiable slackerism, no outrage of treason. Envy and jealousy would have no soil for their menacing development, and revolution would be without the passion which engenders it. 这种全民服务将产生一种新的精神和目标的统一，一种新的信心和奉献，这将使我们的防御坚不可摧，胜利有保障。届时，我们国内的经济、工业和商业体系几乎不会出现混乱，不会有惊人的战争债务，不会有膨胀的财富来蔑视我们士兵的牺牲，不会有煽动叛乱的借口，不会有可怜的逃避兵役行为，不会有叛国的暴行。嫉妒将没有滋生的土壤，革命也将失去催生它的激情。
A regret for the mistakes of yesterday must not, however, blind us to the tasks of today. War never left such an aftermath. There has been staggering loss of life and measureless wastage of materials. Nations are still groping for return to stable ways. Discouraging indebtedness confronts us like all the war-torn nations, and these obligations must be provided for. No civilization can survive repudiation. 然而，对昨天错误的遗憾绝不能使我们对今天的任务视而不见。战争从未留下这样的后果。生命损失惊人，物质浪费难以估量。各国仍在摸索回归稳定之路。与所有饱受战争蹂躏的国家一样，令人沮丧的债务摆在我们面前，这些债务必须得到偿还。任何文明都无法在赖账中生存。
We can reduce the abnormal expenditures, and we will. We can strike at war taxation, and we must. We must face the grim necessity, with full knowledge that the task is to be solved, and we must proceed with a full realization that no statute enacted by man can repeal the inexorable laws of nature. Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little. We contemplate the immediate task of putting our public household in order. 我们能够并且将会削减异常支出。我们必须并且将会取消战争税。我们必须面对严峻的必要性，充分认识到任务必须得到解决，我们必须充分意识到，人类制定的任何法规都无法废除大自然无情的法则。我们最危险的倾向是对政府期望过高，同时又为它做得太少。我们正在考虑整顿公共财政的紧迫任务。
We need a rigid and yet sane economy, combined with fiscal justice, and it must be attended by individual prudence and thrift, which are so essential to this trying hour and reassuring for the future. 我们需要严格而明智的节约，结合财政公正，同时必须伴随个人的谨慎和节俭，这对这个艰难时刻至关重要，对未来也令人安心。
The business world reflects the disturbance of war's reaction. Herein flows the lifeblood of material existence. The economic mechanism is intricate and its parts interdependent, and has suffered the shocks and jars incident to abnormal demands, credit inflations, and price upheavals. The normal balances have been impaired, the channels of distribution have been clogged, the relations of labor and management have been strained. We must seek the readjustment with care and courage. Our people must give and take. Prices must reflect the receding fever of war activities. 商业世界反映了战争反应的动荡。这里流淌着物质生存的命脉。经济机制错综复杂，各部分相互依存，遭受了异常需求、信贷膨胀和价格动荡带来的冲击和震荡。正常的平衡受到了损害，分配渠道被堵塞，劳资关系变得紧张。我们必须谨慎而勇敢地寻求调整。我们的人民必须相互让步。价格必须反映战争活动热度的消退。
Perhaps we never shall know the old levels of wages again, because war invariably readjusts compensations, and the necessaries of life will show their inseparable relationship, but we must strive for normalcy to reach stability. All the penalties will not be light, nor evenly distributed. There is no way of making them so. There is no instant step from disorder to order. We must face a condition of grim reality, charge off our losses and start afresh. It is the oldest lesson of civilization. 也许我们再也不会回到过去的工资水平，因为战争总会重新调整报酬，生活必需品将显示出它们不可分割的关系，但我们必须努力实现常态以达到稳定。所有的惩罚不会是轻微的，也不会平均分配。没有办法让它们变得如此。从混乱到有序没有捷径。我们必须面对严峻的现实状况，冲销我们的损失，重新开始。这是文明最古老的教训。
I would like government to do all it can to mitigate; then, in understanding, in mutuality of interest, in concern for the common good, our tasks will be solved. No altered system will work a miracle. Any wild experiment will only add to the confusion. Our best assurance lies in efficient administration of our proven system. 我希望政府尽其所能减轻痛苦；然后，在理解中、在共同利益中、在对共同利益的关切中，我们的任务将得到解决。任何改变的制度都不会创造奇迹。任何鲁莽的实验只会增加混乱。我们最好的保证在于对我们久经考验的制度进行高效管理。
The forward course of the business cycle is unmistakable. Peoples are turning from destruction to production. Industry has sensed the changed order and our own people are turning to resume their normal, onward way. The call is for productive America to go on. I know that Congress and the Administration will favor every wise Government policy to aid the resumption and encourage continued progress. 商业周期的前进方向是明确无误的。各国正从破坏转向生产。工业已经感受到秩序的变化，我们本国人民正转向恢复正常的前进道路。召唤是让富有生产力的美国继续前进。我知道国会和政府将支持每一项明智的政策，以帮助恢复和鼓励持续进步。
I speak for administrative efficiency, for lightened tax burdens, for sound commercial practices, for adequate credit facilities, for sympathetic concern for all agricultural problems, for the omission of unnecessary interference of Government with business, for an end to Government's experiment in business, and for more efficient business in Government administration. With all of this must attend a mindfulness of the human side of all activities, so that social, industrial, and economic justice will be squared with the purposes of a righteous people. 我主张行政效率、减轻税负、健全的商业实践、充足的信贷设施、对所有农业问题的同情关注、消除政府对商业的不必要干预、结束政府在商业中的试验，以及在政府管理中提高效率。所有这一切都必须关注所有活动的人性方面，使社会、工业和经济正义与正义人民的目标相一致。
With the nation-wide induction of womanhood into our political life, we may count upon her intuitions, her refinements, her intelligence, and her influence to exalt the social order. We count upon her exercise of the full privileges and the performance of the duties of citizenship to speed the attainment of the highest state. 随着妇女在全国范围内进入我们的政治生活，我们可以指望她们的直觉、她们的优雅、她们的智慧和她们的影响力来提升社会秩序。我们指望她们行使完整的公民特权和履行公民职责，以加速实现最高境界。
I wish for an America no less alert in guarding against dangers from within than it is watchful against enemies from without. Our fundamental law recognizes no class, no group, no section; there must be none in legislation or administration. The supreme inspiration is the common weal. Humanity hungers for international peace, and we crave it with all mankind. My most reverent prayer for America is for industrial peace, with its rewards, widely and generally distributed, amid the inspirations of equal opportunity. No one justly may deny the equality of opportunity which made us what we are. 我希望美国在防范内部危险方面与防范外部敌人一样保持警惕。我们的根本法律不承认任何阶级、任何群体、任何地区；立法或行政中也必须没有这些区分。最高的激励是共同利益。人类渴望国际和平，我们与全人类一同渴望。我对美国最虔诚的祈祷是实现工业和平，其回报广泛普遍地分配，在机会均等的鼓舞下。没有人能够公正地否认使我们成为今天这样的机会均等。
We have mistaken unpreparedness to embrace it to be a challenge of the reality, and due concern for making all citizens fit for participation will give added strength of citizenship and magnify our achievement. 我们曾错误地将未能准备好拥抱它视为对现实的挑战，而适当关注使所有公民都有能力参与将增强公民力量，扩大我们的成就。
If revolution insists upon overturning established order, let other peoples make the tragic experiment. There is no place for it in America. When World War threatened civilization we pledged our resources and our lives to its preservation, and when revolution threatens we unfurl the flag of law and order and renew our consecration. Ours is a constitutional freedom where the popular will is the law supreme and minorities are sacredly protected. 如果革命坚持推翻既定秩序，让其他民族去做这个悲惨的试验吧。美国没有它的位置。当世界大战威胁文明时，我们承诺献出我们的资源和生命来维护它；当革命威胁时，我们高举法律和秩序的旗帜，重申我们的奉献。我们的自由是宪法保障的，人民的意志是最高法律，少数派受到神圣保护。
Our revisions, reformations, and evolutions reflect a deliberate judgment and an orderly progress, and we mean to cure our ills, but never destroy or permit destruction by force. 我们的修订、改革和演变反映了深思熟虑的判断和有序的进步，我们意在治愈我们的弊病，但绝不破坏或以武力允许破坏。
I had rather submit our industrial controversies to the conference table in advance than to a settlement table after conflict and suffering. The earth is thirsting for the cup of good will, understanding is its fountain source. I would like to acclaim an era of good feeling amid dependable prosperity and all the blessings which attend. 我宁愿将我们的工业争议提前提交会议桌，而不是在冲突和痛苦之后提交谈判桌。大地渴望友好之杯，理解是它的源泉。我愿在可靠的繁荣和随之而来的所有祝福中欢呼一个友好的时代。
It has been proved again and again that we cannot, while throwing our markets open to the world, maintain American standards of living and opportunity, and hold our industrial eminence in such unequal competition. There is a luring fallacy in the theory of banished barriers of trade, but preserved American standards require our higher production costs to be reflected in our tariffs on imports. Today, as never before, when peoples are seeking trade restoration and expansion, we must adjust our tariffs to the new order. 事实一再证明，在向世界开放市场的同时，我们无法维持美国的生活水平和机会，也无法在如此不平等的竞争中保持我们的工业优势。贸易壁垒消除的理论有一种诱人的谬误，但维护美国标准要求我们更高的生产成本反映在我们的进口关税中。今天，当各国寻求贸易恢复和扩张时，我们必须调整关税以适应新秩序。
We seek participation in the world's exchanges, because therein lies our way to widened influence and the triumphs of peace. We know full well we cannot sell where we do not buy, and we cannot sell successfully where we do not carry. Opportunity is calling not alone for the restoration, but for a new era in production, transportation and trade. We shall answer it best by meeting the demand of a surpassing home market, by promoting self-reliance in production, and by bidding enterprise, genius, and efficiency to carry our cargoes in American bottoms to the marts of the world. 我们寻求参与世界贸易，因为这是我们扩大影响力和取得和平胜利的途径。我们非常清楚，我们不能在不购买的地方销售，也不能在不运输的地方成功销售。机会呼唤的不仅是恢复，而且是生产、运输和贸易的新时代。我们最好的回应是满足巨大的国内市场需求，促进生产自给自足，并号召企业、天赋和效率用美国船只将我们的货物运往世界市场。
We would not have an America living within and for herself alone, but we would have her self-reliant, independent, and ever nobler, stronger, and richer. Believing in our higher standards, reared through constitutional liberty and maintained opportunity, we invite the world to the same heights. But pride in things wrought is no reflex of a completed task. Common welfare is the goal of our national endeavor. Wealth is not inimical to welfare; it ought to be its friendliest agency. 我们不希望美国只生活在自己内部、只为自己而存在，但我们希望它自力更生、独立，并且永远更高尚、更强壮、更富裕。相信我们通过宪法自由和持续机会所建立的更高标准，我们邀请世界达到同样的高度。但对已成就事物的自豪并不意味着任务已经完成。共同福利是我们国家努力的目标。财富与福利并非敌对；它应该是最友好的推动者。
There never can be equality of rewards or possessions so long as the human plan contains varied talents and differing degrees of industry and thrift, but ours ought to be a country free from the great blotches of distressed poverty. We ought to find a way to guard against the perils and penalties of unemployment. We want an America of homes, illumined with hope and happiness, where mothers, freed from the necessity for long hours of toil beyond their own doors, may preside as befits the hearthstone of American citizenship. 只要人类计划中包含不同的天赋以及不同程度的勤奋和节俭，就永远不会有报酬或财产的平等，但我们的国家应该摆脱极度贫困的巨大污点。我们应该找到一种方法来防范失业的危险和惩罚。我们希望美国成为一个充满希望和幸福的家园，在那里，母亲们不必长时间在自家门外劳作，可以像美国公民家庭的女主人那样主持家务。
We want the cradle of American childhood rocked under conditions so wholesome and so hopeful that no blight may touch it in its development, and we want to provide that no selfish interest, no material necessity, no lack of opportunity shall prevent the gaining of that education so essential to best citizenship. 我们希望美国儿童的摇篮在如此健康和充满希望的条件下摇摆，使其在成长过程中不受任何损害。我们希望确保没有自私的利益、没有物质的需要、没有机会的匮乏会阻碍获得对最佳公民身份至关重要的教育。
There is no short cut to the making of these ideals into glad realities. The world has witnessed again and again the futility and the mischief of ill-considered remedies for social and economic disorders. But we are mindful today as never before of the friction of modern industrialism, and we must learn its causes and reduce its evil consequences by sober and tested methods. Where genius has made for great possibilities, justice and happiness must be reflected in a greater common welfare. 将这些理想变为美好的现实没有捷径。世界一次又一次见证了对社会和经济混乱考虑不周的补救措施的徒劳和危害。但我们今天比以往任何时候都更意识到现代工业主义的摩擦，我们必须了解其原因，通过冷静和经过考验的方法减少其不良后果。在天赋创造了巨大可能性的地方，正义和幸福必须反映在更大的共同福利中。
Service is the supreme commitment of life. I would rejoice to acclaim the era of the Golden Rule and crown it with the autocracy of service. I pledge an administration wherein all the agencies of Government are called to serve, and ever promote an understanding of Government purely as an expression of the popular will. 服务是人生最高的奉献。我乐于欢呼黄金法则的时代，并以服务的独裁为其加冕。我承诺一个政府，其中所有政府机构都被召唤去服务，并永远促进对政府纯粹作为民意表达的理解。
One cannot stand in this presence and be unmindful of the tremendous responsibility. The world upheaval has added heavily to our tasks. But with the realization comes the surge of high resolve, and there is reassurance in belief in the God-given destiny of our Republic. If I felt that there is to be sole responsibility in the Executive for the America of tomorrow I should shrink from the burden. But here are a hundred millions, with common concern and shared responsibility, answerable to God and country. The Republic summons them to their duty, and I invite co-operation. 站在这个场合，没有人能不意识到巨大的责任。世界动荡大大增加了我们的任务。但随着这种认识而来的是高涨的决心，相信我们共和国的天赐命运令人安心。如果我觉得行政部门要独自承担未来美国的责任，我会畏缩不前。但这里有一亿人，怀着共同的关切和共同的责任，对上帝和国家负责。共和国召唤他们履行职责，我邀请大家合作。
I accept my part with single-mindedness of purpose and humility of spirit, and implore the favor and guidance of God in His Heaven. With these I am unafraid, and confidently face the future. 我怀着一心一意的目标和谦卑的精神接受我的职责，并祈求天堂里上帝的恩惠和指引。有了这些，我无所畏惧，满怀信心地面对未来。
I have taken the solemn oath of office on that passage of Holy Writ wherein it is asked: "What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" This I plight to God and country. 我在圣经的那段经文面前庄严宣誓就职，其中问道："耶和华向你所要的是什么呢？只要你行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与你的神同行。"这是我对上帝和国家的承诺。
