A single spark can start a prairie fire.星星之火可以燎原。
The Torch Has Been Passed to a New
Generation of Americans
火炬已经传给新一代美国人
Mr.Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, fellow citizens: We observe today not a victory of party ,but a celebration of freedom ---symbolizing an end , as well as a beginning ---signifying renewal, as well as change . For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and
three-quarters ago.
The world is very different now. For man holds in
his ,moral hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life .And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe---the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state , but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution .Let the word go forth from this time and
place, to friend and foe alike ,that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans---born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage ,and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know ,whether it wishes us well or ill , that we shall pay any price, bear any burden , meet any hardship , support any friend , oppose any foe , to assure the survival and the success of liberty .
Now the trumpet summons us again ---not as a call to bear arms , though arms we need ---not as a call to battle, though embattled we are---but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle , year in and year out , "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation,"---a struggle against the common enemies of man :tyranny,poverty, disease, and war itself.
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 .
sort of torch翻译
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. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
