thank you!
chief justice rehnquist, president carter, president bush, president clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. with a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.
as i begin, i thank president clinton for his service to our nation.
and i thank vice president gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.
i am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of america's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.
we have a place, all of us, in a long story -- a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. it is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.
it is the american story -- a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.
the grandest of these ideals is an unfolding american promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.
americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. and though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.
through much of the last century, america's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.
our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. and even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.
while many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country. the ambitions of some americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth. and sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.
we do not accept this, and we will not allow it. our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. and this is my solemn pledge: i will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.

演讲论文
谢谢你们!
首席大法官伦奎斯特,卡特总统,布什总统,克林顿总统,尊敬的来宾,我的同胞们,权力的和平过渡在历史上是罕见的,但在美国是平常的。用一个简单的誓言,我们确认旧的传统,同时开始了新的历程。
首先,我要感谢克林顿总统为他的服务我们的国家。
也感谢副总统戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与风度。
我的荣幸,站在这里,之前,许多美国领导人已来过我,所以很多人会效仿。
我们有一个地方,所有的人,在很长一段故事,一个故事,我们继续下去,但是我们不会看到他们的结局。的故事,一个新的世界,成为一个朋友和旧的解放者,蓄奴的故事的社会,成为一个自由的仆人,一个力量的故事,走进世界保护但不拥有,保护而不是征服。
这是美国的故事——一个有缺陷的和不可靠的人的.故事,是一部在伟大和永恒理想指导下几代人团结奋斗的。
最伟大的理想是一个正在美国保证每个人都是,每个人都应有机会,从来没有无关紧要的人诞生了。
美国人要竭力将这个诺言变成在我们的生活中,在我们的法律。虽然我们的国家有时停滞不前,有时推迟,我们必须完成这一使命。
通过上个世纪的大部分时间,美国人对自由和民主的信念犹如汹涌大海中的岩石。现在是一颗种子在风,扎根在许多国家。
我们的民主信仰不仅仅是我们国家的信条,它是我们人类的天生的希望,理想我们携带但并不拥有,我们熊和传递的信任。甚至在近225年之后,我们还有很长的路去旅游。
虽然许多市民繁荣,别人怀疑的承诺,即使是正义,我们自己的国家。一些美国人的雄心受到失败的学校教育,潜在的偏见和出身的环境。有时我们的分歧如此之深,似乎我们共享一个大陆,而不是一个国家。
我们不接受这个,我们不会允许它。我们的团结,我们的联盟,是在每一代领导人和公民的严肃的工作。这是我庄严承诺:我将努力建立一个公正、充满机会的国家。
