美国总统感恩节英文致辞(3)

时间:2021-08-31

  但在这些悲剧之中,我们仍会看到希望的曙光。过去几周以来,我们看到了联邦应急管理署的工作人员,国民警卫队的军人,以及第一救援人员们在受灾地区不分昼夜的工作。我们看到了医护人员利用午休时间发放救援物资。众多家庭提供出他们的空余卧室,消防部门提供免费热水淋浴,巴士满载着来自数百英里以外的志愿者来到灾区,大家彼此分享着拥有的一切——食物,水,电——并且一遍遍地说能有屋顶来遮雨是多么的幸运。

  it would have been easy for these folks to do nothing – to worry about themselves and leave the rest to someone else. but that’s not who we are. that’s not what we do.

  这些人如果作壁上观本是很容易的——只要担心自己的问题,把其他的困难留给别人。但那就不是我们了,那也不是我们会做的。

  as americans, we are a bold, generous, big-hearted people. when our brothers and sisters are in need, we roll up our sleeves and get to work – not for the recognition or the reward, but because it’s the right thing to do. because there but for the grace of god go i. and because here in america, we rise or fall together, as one nation and one people.

  作为美国人,我们勇敢,慷慨,善良。当我们的兄弟姐妹有需要的时候,我们会挽起袖子就去帮忙,不是为了获得认可或是奖赏,而是因为这是我们认为正确的事情。因为我这么做是为了上帝的恩典。因为在美国,我们同甘苦共患难,作为一个国家,一个民族。

  that’s something to be grateful for – today and every day.

  总有些事是值得我们感激的——今天以及每一天。

  so to all the americans doing your part to make our world a better place – it is my privilege to serve as your president. to all our servicemembers – it is my honor to be your commander in chief. and from our family to yours, happy thanksgiving.  因此,我要对所有各尽其职共同创造我们美好家园的美国人说,我为能够成为你们的总统而感到无比荣幸;我要对所有的部队军人说,我为能够成为你们的总司令而无比自豪。我代表我们全家祝愿你们感恩节快乐!
