哈里杜鲁门就职演讲

　　Our aim should be to help the free peoples of the world, through their own efforts, to produce more food, more clothing, more materials for housing, and more mechanical power to lighten their burdens.

This should be a cooperative enterprise in which all nations work together through the United Nations and its specialized agencies wherever practicable. It must be a worldwide effort for the achievement of peace, plenty, and freedom.

　　With the cooperation of business, private capital, agriculture, and labor in this country, this program can greatly increase the industrial activity in other nations and can raise substantially their standards of living.

　　Greater production is the key to prosperity and peace. And the key to greater production is a wider and more vigorous application of modern scientific and technical knowledge.

　　Democracy alone can supply the vitalizing force to stir the peoples of the world into triumphant action, not only against their human oppressors, but also against their ancient enemies-- hunger, misery, and despair.

　　On the basis of these four major courses of action we hope to help create the conditions that will lead eventually to personal freedom and happiness for all mankind.

　　We are aided by all who want relief from the lies of propaganda-- who desire truth and sincerity.

　　We are aided by all who desire self-government and a voice in deciding their own affairs.

学习啦在线学习网 　　We are aided by all who long for economic security--for the security and abundance that men in free societies can enjoy.

　　We are aided by all who desire freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to live their own lives for useful ends.

　　In due time, as our stability becomes manifest, as more and more nations come to know the benefits of democracy and to participate in growing abundance, I believe that those countries which now oppose us will abandon their delusions and join with the free nations of the world in a just settlement of international differences.

　　But I say to all men, what we have achieved in liberty, we will surpass in greater liberty.

　　Steadfast in our faith in the Almighty, we will advance toward a world where man's freedom is secure.

　　To that end we will devote our strength, our resources, and our firmness of resolve. With God's help, the future of mankind will be assured in a world of justice, harmony, and peace.
