On the ground below is a tribute to a generation that withstood war and depression -- men and women like my grandparents who toiled on bomber assembly lines and marched across Europe to free the world from tyranny's grasp. Directly in front of us is a pool that still reflects the dream of a King, and the glory of a people who marched and bled so that their children might be judged by their character's content. And behind me, watching over the union he saved, sits the man who in so many ways made this day possible.
下面的那块地是对饱受战争与忧伤的那一代人的赞颂。那些与我祖父母并无二样的男人和女人们长途跋涉向欧洲行军,把世界从专制统治中解放出来。正对着我们的那个水池,倒映着一代君主的梦想,以及为了下一代能够获得平等而拼杀在前线的人们流下的鲜血与荣耀。而在我身后坐着那个俯视他所拯救的国家的男人,是他使今天的一切成为了可能。
And yet, as I stand here today, what gives me the greatest hope of all is not the stone and marble that surrounds us today, but what fills the spaces in between. It is you -- Americans of every race and region and station who came here because you believe in what this country can be and because you want to help us get there.
然而今天,我站在这里,给予我最大鼓舞的不是四周的这些大理石像,而是被它们围绕在当中的人们。是你们,不同种族不同信仰不同身份的你们,聚集在这里相信着这个国家的可能性并愿意为此而付出努力的你们。
