I won't pretend that meeting any one of these challenges will be easy. It will take more than a month or a year, and it will likely take many. Along the way there will be setbacks and false starts and days that test our fundamental resolve as a nation.

我不会假装说以上的任何一个挑战可以轻松应付过去。这可能会花去超过一个月，或者一年甚至许多年的时间。沿途会有挫折，会走弯路，也会经受解决国家基本问题的考验。

But despite all of this -- despite the enormity of the task that lies ahead -- I stand here today as hopeful as ever that the United States of America will endure, that it will prevail, that the dream of our founders will live on in our time.

即使那样，即使挡在我们面前的考验是如此的艰巨。我今天仍然是比任何时候都更满怀希望地站在这里，相信着美利坚合众国能够排除万难，重新崛起，开国先驱的梦想在我们心中永不磨灭。

What gives me hope is what I see when I look out across this mall. For in these monuments are chiseled those unlikely stories that affirm our unyielding faith -- a faith that anything is possible in America. Rising before us stands a memorial to a man who led a small band of farmers and shopkeepers in revolution against the army of an Empire, all for the sake of an idea.

是我穿过这个广场所看到的给予了我希望。凿在这些纪念碑里面那些难以置信的故事申明了我们不屈的信念。一个在美国一切皆有可能的信念。我们面前所纪念的那个伟人，正是全凭心中这股信念，领导一小队农民和商人发起了抵抗帝国统治强大军队的革命。
