新时代自由宣言

字幕原文

Vice President Johnson,

Mr. Speaker,

Mr. Chief Justice,

President Eisenhower,

Vice President Nixon,

President Truman,

Reverend Clergy,

fellow citizens.

We observe today

not a victory of party,

but a celebration of freedom,

symbolizing an end

as well as a beginning

signifying renewal

as well as change

for i have sworn before you

and almighty god

the same

solemn oath

our forebears prescribed

nearly a century and three quarters ago

the world is very different now

for man holds in his mortal hands

the power to abolish

all forms of human poverty

and all forms of human life.

And yet the same

revolutionary beliefs

for which our forebears fought

are still at issue around the globe.

The belief that the rights of man

come not from the generosity of the state,

but from the hand of God.
