In this land， we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth.The price for this freedom at times has been high， but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.
在这片土地上，我们使人类的能力和个人的才智得到了前所未有的发挥。在这里，个人所享有并得以确保的自由和尊严超过了世界上任何其他地方。为这种自由所付出的代价有时相当高昂，但我们从来没有不愿意付出这代价。
So， with all the creative energy at our command， let us begin an era of national renewal. Let us renew our determination， our courage， and our strength.In addition， let us renew； our faith and our hope.
为此，让我们以掌握的一切创造力来开创一个国家复兴的时代吧。让我们重新拿出决心、勇气和力量，让我们重新建立起我们的信念和希望吧。我们完全有权去做英雄梦。
Those who say that we are in a time when there are no heroes just do not know where to look. You can see heroes every day going in and out of factory gates.Others， a handful in number， produce enough food to feed all of us and then the world beyond.You meet heroes across a counter——and they are on both sides of that counter.There are entrepreneurs with faith in themselves and faith in an idea who create new jobs， new wealth and opportunity.They are individuals and families whose taxes support the Government and whose voluntary gifts support church， charity， culture， art， and education.Their patriotism is quiet but deep.Their values sustain our national life.
那些评论我们现在是一个没有英雄的时代的，他们只不过没有仔细看。看吧！每一天进出工厂大门的工人，辛勤耕作为我们提供食物的农民们，站在柜台后的服务生们；尽心尽业打拼为社会创造财富，提供就业机会的企业家们。交纳赋税，以维持国家运作的公民们。所有支持慈善事业，教会，文化及教育的人们，他们的举动是无声的，但爱国心却是不言自明的。他们的价值造就了我们的国家。
I have used the words"they"and"their"in speaking of these heroes. I could say"you"and"your"because I am addressing the heroes of whom I speak——you， the citizens of this blessed land.Your dreams， your hopes， your goals are going to be the dreams， the hopes， and the goals of this administration， so help me God.
我刚才用了“他们”这个人称来形容这些英雄们，其实我也可以用“你们”。在这个上帝眷顾的国家，你们的梦想，你们的希望，你们的追求就是这个国家存在的理由。
