Vice President Johnson， Mr. Speaker， 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 mortal 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. This much we pledge -- and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share， we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do -- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free， we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom -- and to remember that， in the past， those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery， we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves， for whatever period is required -- not because the Communists may be doing it， not because we seek their votes， but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor， it cannot save the few who are rich.
To our sister republics south of our border， we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds， in a new alliance for progress， to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.
To that world assembly of sovereign states， the United Nations， our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace， we renew our pledge of support -- to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective， to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak， and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run. Finally， to those nations who would make themselves our adversary， we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace， before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.
We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course -- both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons， both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom， yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness， and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear， but let us never fear to negotiate.
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides， for the first time， formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms， and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars， conquer the deserts， eradicate disease， tap the ocean depths， and encourage the arts and commerce.
Let both sides unite to heed， in all corners of the earth， the command of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens， and [to] let the oppressed go free." And， if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion， let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power， but a new world of law -- where the strong are just， and the weak secure， and the peace preserved. All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration; nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.
In your hands， my fellow citizens， more than mine， will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded， each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe. 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. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance， North and South， East and West， that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world， only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy， the faith， the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world. 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.
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.

约翰逊副总统，Speaker先生，首席大法官艾森豪威尔总统，总统，尼克松总统，杜鲁门总统，牧师牧师，同胞们：
今天我们庆祝的不是政党的胜利，而是自由的庆典——象征着一个结束，也是一个开始——意味着更新，以及改变。因为我已在你们和全能的上帝面前庄严宣誓，我们的祖先175年前。
现在世界是非常不同的。因为人类掌握在他生命中的力量，它可以消除所有形式的人类贫困和所有形式的人类生活。可是我们的祖先为之奋斗的革命信念，在世界各地仍然有问题，这个信念就是：人的权利并非来自国家的慷慨，而是来自上帝之手。
今天，我们不敢忘记我们是第一次革命的继承者。让我们从这个时间和地点，朋友和敌人，这火炬已经传给新一代美国人-出生在本世纪，经历过战争的锻炼，在艰苦的和平，有我们古老的遗产感到自豪，他们不愿目睹或允许缓慢打倒那些人权是这个国家一直致力于，也是我们致力于在国内和世界各地的今天。
让每一个国家都知道，无论它希望我们好或坏，我们将付出任何代价，承担任何负担，应付任何困难，支持任何朋友，反对任何敌人，以确保自由的生存和成功。这是我们的承诺-和更多。
对于那些我们共同分享的文化和精神起源的老盟友，我们保证忠实的朋友的忠诚。在一个合作企业中，我们几乎不能做什么。分有一点我们可以做的--因为我们不敢应付强大的挑战在争吵不休、四分五裂时。对于那些我们欢迎的自由的行列的新国家，我们保证我们的话，一种形式的殖民统治不会消失，仅仅是由一个更为残酷的暴政所取代。我们并不总是指望他们支持我们的观点。但我们始终希望找到他们强烈地支持他们自己的自由，并记住，在过去，那些愚蠢地寻求权力的人骑在老虎的后面结束了。
对于那些在半个地球上挣扎着打破大众苦难的村庄的小屋和村庄的人们，我们保证我们尽最大努力帮助他们帮助他们自己，无论什么时期是必需的-不是因为共产党人可以这样做，不是因为我们寻求他们的选票，而是因为它是正确的。如果一个自由的社会不能帮助那些贫穷的人，它就不能拯救少数富有的人。
在我们的边境南部的姐妹共和国，我们提供了一个特殊的承诺：把我们的好的话变成善行，在一个新的联盟的进步，帮助自由的人和自由的政府摆脱贫困的枷锁。但这种希望的和平革命不能成为敌对势力的猎物。让我们所有的邻居都知道，我们将与他们一起反对在美洲任何地方的侵略或颠覆。让每一个其他的力量知道，这个半球打算保持自己的房子的主人。
对于世界上所有的主权国家，联合国，我们最后的希望，在这样一个时代，战争的手段已经远远超过了和平的工具，我们重申予以支持，防止它仅仅成为谩骂的场所，加强它对新的和弱小国家的保护，并扩大在其主导作用的领域。最后，对于那些与我们为敌，我们提供的不是保证，而是要求：双方重新开始寻求和平，在科学释放出的毁灭性力量有意无意地毁灭全人类。
我们不敢用弱点来诱惑他们。只有当我们的手臂足够超越怀疑时，我们才能毫无疑问地确信他们永远不会被雇用。但也不能两个强有力的国家集团，从我们目前的课程舒适--双方都背负着现代武器的负担，都理所当然使致命的原子武器的不断扩散，但双方都力图改变那不稳定的恐怖平衡保持人类的最后一战。
因此让我们重新开始，双方都应记住，谦恭不是软弱，真诚有待验证。让我们不要出于恐惧而谈判，但让我们不要害怕谈判。
让双方都来探讨使我们团结起来的问题，而不是那些使我们分裂的问题。让双方第一次为检查和控制武器制定严肃和精确的建议，并在所有国家的绝对控制下，带来毁灭其他国家的绝对力量。
让双方寻求召唤的奇迹
