    [20] Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.
    [20]
我们回忆起前几辈的美国人,他们不仅仅是靠导弹和坦克击败法西斯主义,而且是靠紧密的联盟和持久的信念。他们明白,我们自身的力量不足以保护我们,也不会使我们为所欲为。相反,他们知道,我们的力量只有在谨慎使用的情况下才会增涨,我们的安全来源于我们事业的正义、我们榜样的力量、人性和克制的品格。


    [21] We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort - even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.
    [21]
我们是这种遗产的继承者。这些原则将再次指引我们,我们可以应对那些需要更多努力的新威胁,这些新威胁需要国家之间进行更大程度的合作和理解。我们将负责任地把伊拉克交给它的人民,我们将在阿富汗推动负出重大代价才赢得的和平。我们将和老朋友和前敌手一起毫不松懈地削弱核威胁,应对全球变暖。我们将不会为我们的生活方式道歉,我们也不会放松我们的防务。对通过谋杀无辜者推动自己生活方式的人,我们对你们说,我们的精神更为强大,它无法被挫败,你们不可能消灭我们,我们将击败你们。


    [22] For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
    [22]
我们都知道,我们各类遗产的汇集是一种力量,而不是脆弱。美国是由信仰基督教、伊斯兰教、犹太教和印度教的人们以及无信仰人士组成的国家,来自地球上每一个角落的语言和文化在这里融汇。我们有过内战和种族隔离的惨痛经历,翻过黑暗的一页,我们因此变得更加强大、更加团结,我们因此坚信古老的仇恨总有一天会化解,部族之间的隔阂很快就会消除。我们坚信,随着世界变得越来越小,我们共有的人道精神将放出光芒,美国必须克尽己职,开创一个和平的新纪元。


    [23] To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
    [23]
对于穆斯林世界,我们将寻求新的共处之道,一种基于共同利益和相互尊重的方式。对于世界上那些播种冲突的种子或将自己社会的弊病归咎于西方的领导人,你们应该明白一点,你们的人民将根据你们所建设的而非破坏的来对你们作出评判。对于那些通过腐败、欺骗和镇压异见者来攫取权力的领导人,你们应该明白自己在违逆历史的潮流,但如果你们愿意松开拳头,我们将向你们提供帮助。


    [24] To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.
    [24]
对于那些贫穷国家的人民,我们发誓将跟你们并肩战斗,让你们的农场繁茂、让洁净的水源流淌,让挨饿的身体获得营养、让饥渴的头脑获得食粮。对于那些像我们一样相对富有的国家,我们要说,我们再也不能对自己国界之外的苦难漠不关心,我们再也不能不顾后果地消耗世界的资源。这个世界已经改变,我们必须与之俱变。
