美国第42任总统克林顿告别演说

美国第42任总统克林顿告别演说

同胞们，今晚是我作为你们的总统，在白宫总统办公室向你们做最后一次演说。

我深深地感谢你们给了我两次机会和荣誉，为你们服务和工作，并同你们一道为我们进入21世纪做准备。

在此，我要感谢戈尔副总统，我的内阁部长们以及所有和我一同走过过去8年的同仁们。

这是一个极具变革的年代，你们为新的挑战做好了准备。是你们使我们的社会更强大，我们的家庭更健康和安全，我们的人民更富裕。

同胞们，我们已迈进全球信息化的时代，这是美国复兴的伟大时代。

作为总统，我所做的每一个决定，每一个行政命令，提议和签署的每一项法令，都在努力为美国人民提供工具和创造条件，去实现美国人民梦想的未来----一个美好的社会，繁荣的经济，清洁的环境，一个更自由、更安全、更繁荣的世界。

凭借着我们永恒的价值，我不断前进。机会属于所有的美国公民；责任源自全体美国人民；所有美国人民组成了一个大家庭。我一直在为寻求一个更小、更现代化、更有效率、面对新时代的挑战充满创意和思想、永远把人民的利益放在第一位、永远面向未来的新型的美国政府而努力。

我们一同工作，使美国变得更加美好。我们的经济正在打破一个又一个的记录。我们已创造了2200万个新的工作岗位，现在的失业率是30年来最低的，购房率达到一个空前的高度，经济增长的持续时间是历史上最长的。

我们的家庭、我们的社会变得更加强大。3500万美国人曾经享受联邦休假，800万人获得社会保障，犯罪率是25年来最低的，1000多万美国人享受更多的大学贷款，更多的人接受大学教育。我们的学校也在改善。更高的办学水平、更大的责任感和更多的使得我们的学生取得更好的考试和毕业成绩。

目前，已有300多万美国儿童在享受着医疗，700多万美国人已经脱离了贫困线。人们的收入在大幅度提高。我国的空气和水源更洁净，食品和饮用水更安全。宝贵的土地资源得到了近百年来前所未有的保护。

美国已成为世界上每个地方促进和平和繁荣的积极力量。此时，我非常高兴地将领导权移交给新任总统，强大的美国正面临未来的挑战。

今晚，我希望能把三个关于我们的未来构想留给你们：第一，美国必须保持良好的财政状况。经过4个财政年度的努力，我们已经破纪录的把财政赤字变为盈余。并且，我们已偿还了6000亿美元的国债，正向着10年内彻底偿还国债的目标迈进，这是1835年以来的第一次。

只要这样做，才能给我们带来更低的利率、更大的经济繁荣，才能迎接未来更大的挑战。如果我们做出明智的选择，我们就能偿还债务，解决生育高峰期出生的一大批人的退休问题，对未来进行更多的投资，并减轻税收。

第二，世界各国的联系日益紧密。为了美国的安全与繁荣，我们应继续融入世界。在这个特殊的历史时刻，更多的美国人民享有前所未有的自由。我们的盟国比过去更加强大。全世界人民期望美国成为和平与繁荣、自由与安全的力量。全球经济给予美国人民以及全世界人民更多的机会去工作、生活，更好地养活家庭。

但是，促进世界一体化，一方面为我们创造了良好的机会，同时也使我们在全球范围内更易遭致破坏性力量、恐怖主义、有组织的犯罪、贩毒活动，以及致命性武器和疾病传播的威胁。

尽管世界贸易不断扩大，但它没能缩小处于全球经济前沿的我们与数十亿处于生死边缘的人们之间的距离。

要解决世界贫富两极分化需要的不是同情，而是实际行动。贫穷有可能被我们的漠不关心激化成为火药桶。

托马斯-杰斐逊在他的中告诫我们结盟的危害。但在我们这个时代，美国不能，也不可能使自己脱离整个世界。如果我们想把我们共享的价值观赋予这个世界，我们必须承担起这个责任。

如果20世纪的历次战争，尤其是最近在科索沃地区和波斯尼亚爆发的战争，能够让我们得到某种教训的话，我们从中得到的启示应是：由于捍卫了我们的价值观并领导了自由和和平的力量，我们才达到了目标。我们必须坚定勇敢地信奉这个信念和责任，在语言和行动上与我们的同盟者站在一起，领导他们按这条道路前进；在全球经济中遵循以人为本，让不断发展的贸易使所有国家的所有人受益，在全世界范围内提高人们的生活水平并实现他们的梦想。

第三，我们必须牢记如果我们不团结一致，美国就不能领先世界。随着我们变得多样化，我们必须更加努力地团结在共同价值观和共同人性的旗帜下。

我们必须努力工作，克服存在的种种分歧。于情于法，我们都要让我们的人民受到公正的待遇，不论他是哪一个民族、信仰哪种宗教、什么性别或性倾向，无论他们何时来到这个国家。我们都要时时刻刻为了实现先辈们建立的高度团结的梦想而奋斗。

希拉里、切尔西和我同所有美国人民一道，向即将上任的布什总统、他的家人及新政府致以衷心的祝福，希望新政府能够勇敢面对挑战，高举自由大旗在新世纪阔步前进。

对我来说，当我离开总统宝座时，我充满了更多的理想，比初进白宫时更加充满希望，并坚信美国的好日子还在后面。

我的总统任期就要结束了，但是我希望我为美国人民服务的日子永远不会结束。在我未来的岁月里，我再也不会担任一个比美利坚合众国总统更高的职位、签订一个比美利坚合众国总统所能签署的更为神圣的条约。当然，没有任何一个头衔能让我比作为一个美国公民更为自豪的了。

谢谢你们！愿上帝保佑你们！愿上帝保佑美国！

my fellow citizens:

today we celebrate the mystery of american renewal. this ceremony is held in the depth of winter, but by the words we speak and the faces we show the world, we force the spring. a spring reborn in the world’s oldest democracy, that brings forth the vision and courage to reinvent america. when our founders boldly declared america’s independence to the world, and our purposes to the almighty, they knew that america, to endure, would have to change. not change for change sake, but change to preserve america’s ideals: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.

though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless. each generation of american’s must define what it means to be an american. on behalf of our nation, i salute my predecessor, president bush, for his half-century of service to america, and i thank the millions of men and women whose steadfastness and sacrifice triumphed over depression, fascism and communism.

today, a generation raised in the shadows of the cold war assumes new responsibilities in a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but threatened still by ancient hatreds and new plagues. raised in unrivalled prosperity, we inherit an economy that is still the world’s strongest, but is weakened by business failures, stagnant wages, increasing inequality, and deep pisions among our own people.

when george washington first took the oath i have just sworn to uphold, news travelled slowly across the land by horseback, and across the ocean by boat. now the sights and sounds of this ceremony are broadcast instantaneously to billions around the world. communications and commerce are global. investment is mobile. technology is almost magical, and ambition for a better life is now univer

we earn our livelihood in america today in peaceful competition with people all across the earth. profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world, and the urgent question of our time is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy. this new world has already enriched the lives of millions of americans who are able to compete and win in it. but when most people are working harder for less, when others cannot work at all, when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to bankrupt our enterprises, great and small; when the fear of crime robs law abiding citizens of their freedom; and when millions of poor children cannot even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made change our friend.

we know we have to face hard truths and take strong steps, but we have not done so. instead we have drifted, and that drifting has eroded our resources, fractured our economy, and shaken our confidence. though our challenges are fearsome, so are our strengths. americans have ever been a restless, questing, hopeful people, and we must bring to our task today the vision and will of those who came before us. from our revolution to the civil war, to the great depression, to the civil rights movement, our people have always mustered the determination to construct from these crises the pillars of our history. thomas jefferson believed that to preserve the very foundations of our nation we would need dramatic change from time to time. well, my fellow americans, this is our time. let us embrace it.

our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. there is nothing wrong with america that cannot be cured by what is right with america.

and so today we pledge an end to the era of deadlock and drift, and a new season of american renewal has begun.

to renew america we must be bold. we must do what no generation has had to do before. we must invest more in our own people, in their jobs, and in their future, and at the same time cut our massive debt. . .and we must do so in a world in which we must compete for every opportunity. it will not be easy. it will require sacrifice, but it can be done, and done fairly. not choosing sacrifice for its own sake, but for our own sake. we must provide for our nation the way a family provides for its children.

our founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. we can do no less. anyone who has ever watched a child’s eyes wander into sleep knows what posterity is. posterity is the world to come, the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibilities. we must do what america does best, offer more opportunity to all and demand more responsibility from all.

it is time to break the bad habit of expecting something for nothing: from our government, or from each other. let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families, but for our communities and our country. to renew america we must revitalize our democracy. this beautiful capitol, like every capitol since the dawn of civilization, is often a place of intrigue and calculation. powerful people maneuver for position and worry endlessly about who is in and who is out, who is up and who is down, forgetting those people whose toil and sweat sends ushere and paves our way.

americans deserve better, and in this city today there are people who want to do better, and so i say to all of you here, let us resolve to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down the voice of the people. let us put aside personal advantage, so that we can feel the pain and see the promise of america. let us resolve to make our government a place for what franklin roosevelt called "bold, persistent experimentation, a government for our tomorrows, not our yesterdays." let us give this capitol back to the people to whom it belongs.

to renew america we must meet challenges abroad, as well as at home. there is no longer a clear pision between what is foreign and what is domestic. the world economy, the world environment, the world aids crisis, the world arms race: they affect us all. today as an old order passes, the new world is more free, but less stable. communism’s collapse has called forth old animosities, and new dangers. clearly, america must continue to lead the world we did so much to make.

while america rebuilds at home, we will not shrink from the challenges nor fail to seize the opportunities of this new world. together with our friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, lest it engulf us. when our vital interests are challenged, or the will and conscience of the international community is defied, we will act; with peaceful diplomacy whenever possible, with force when necessary.

the brave americans serving our nation today in the persian gulf, in somalia, and wherever else they stand, are testament to our resolve, but our greatest strength is the power of our ideas, which are still new in many lands. across the world, we see them embraced and we rejoice. our hopes, our hearts, our hands, are with those on every continent, who are building democracy and freedom. their cause is america’s cause. the american people have summoned the change we celebrate today. you have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus, you have cast your votes in historic numbers, you have changed the face of congress, the presidency, and the political process itself. yes, you, my fellow americans, have forced the spring. now we must do the work the season demands. to that work i now turn with all the authority of my office. i ask the congress to join with me; but no president, no congress, no government can undertake this mission alone.

my fellow americans, you, too, must play your part in our renewal. i challenge a new generation of young americans to a season of service, to act on your idealism, by helping troubled children, keeping company with those in need, reconnecting our torn communities. there is so much to be done. enough, indeed, for millions of others who are still young in spirit, to give of themselves in service, too. in serving we recognize a simple, but powerful, truth: we need each other, and we must care for one another. today we do more than celebrate america, we rededicate ourselves to the very idea of america, an idea born in revolution, and renewed through two centuries of challenge, an idea tempered by the knowledge that but for fate, we, the fortunate and the unfortunate, might have been each other; an idea ennobled by the faith that our nation can summon from its myriad persity, the deepest measure of unity; an idea infused with the conviction that america’s journey long, heroic journey must go forever upward.

and so, my fellow americans, as we stand at the edge of the 21st century, let us begin anew, with energy and hope, with faith and discipline, and let us work until our work is done. the scripture says: "and let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." from this joyful mountaintop of celebration we hear a call to service in the valley. we have heard the trumpets, we have changed the guard, and now each in our own way, and with god’s help, we must answer the call.

thank you, and god bless you all!
