資料來源:美國白宮新聞稿
This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day.
A day of history and hope. Of renewal and resolve.
Through a crucible for the ages America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge.
Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy.
The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.
We have learned again that democracy is precious.
Democracy is fragile.
And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.
So now, on this hallowed ground where just days ago violence sought to shake this Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries.
We look ahead in our uniquely American way – restless, bold, optimistic – and set our sights on the nation we know we can be and we must be.
I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence here.
I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
You know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength of our nation.
As does President Carter, who I spoke to last night but who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime of service.
I have just taken the sacred oath each of these patriots took — an oath first sworn by George Washington.
But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us.
On “We the People” who seek a more perfect Union.
This is a great nation and we are a good people.
Over the centuries through storm and strife, in peace and in war, we have come so far. But we still have far to go.
We will press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and possibility.
Much to repair.
Much to restore.
Much to heal.
Much to build.
And much to gain.
Few periods in our nation’s history have been more challenging or difficult than the one we’re in now.
A once-in-a-century virus silently stalks the country.
It’s taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of World War II.
Millions of jobs have been lost.
Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.
A cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer.
A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear.
And now, a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.
To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.
It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:
Unity.
Unity.
In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
When he put pen to paper, the President said, “If my name ever goes down into history it will be for this act and my whole soul is in it.”
My whole soul is in it.
Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:
Bringing America together.
Uniting our people.
And uniting our nation.
I ask every American to join me in this cause.
Uniting to fight the common foes we face:
Anger, resentment, hatred.
Extremism, lawlessness, violence.
Disease, joblessness, hopelessness.
With unity we can do great things. Important things.
We can right wrongs.
We can put people to work in good jobs.
We can teach our children in safe schools.
We can overcome this deadly virus.
We can reward work, rebuild the middle class, and make health care
secure for all.
We can deliver racial justice.
We can make America, once again, the leading force for good in the world.
I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy.
I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real.
But I also know they are not new.
Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, and demonization have long torn us apart.
The battle is perennial.
Victory is never assured.
Through the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War, 9/11, through struggle, sacrifice, and setbacks, our “better angels” have always prevailed.
In each of these moments, enough of us came together to carry all of us forward.
And, we can do so now.
History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity.
We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors.
We can treat each other with dignity and respect.
We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature.
For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.
No progress, only exhausting outrage.
No nation, only a state of chaos.
This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward.
And, we must meet this moment as the United States of America.
If we do that, I guarantee you, we will not fail.
We have never, ever, ever failed in America when we have acted together.
And so today, at this time and in this place, let us start afresh.
All of us.
Let us listen to one another.
Hear one another.
See one another.
Show respect to one another.
Politics need not be a raging fire destroying everything in its path.
Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war.
And, we must reject a culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.
My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this.
America has to be better than this.
And, I believe America is better than this.
Just look around.
Here we stand, in the shadow of a Capitol dome that was completed amid the Civil War, when the Union itself hung in the balance.
Yet we endured and we prevailed.
Here we stand looking out to the great Mall where Dr. King spoke of his dream.
Here we stand, where 108 years ago at another inaugural, thousands of protestors tried to block brave women from marching for the right to vote.
Today, we mark the swearing-in of the first woman in American history elected to national office – Vice President Kamala Harris.
Don’t tell me things can’t change.
Here we stand across the Potomac from Arlington National Cemetery, where heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion rest in eternal peace.
And here we stand, just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, and to drive us from this sacred ground.
That did not happen.
It will never happen.
Not today.
Not tomorrow.
Not ever.
To all those who supported our campaign I am humbled by the faith you have placed in us.
To all those who did not support us, let me say this: Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart.
And if you still disagree, so be it.
That’s democracy. That’s America. The right to dissent peaceably, within the guardrails of our Republic, is perhaps our nation’s greatest strength.
Yet hear me clearly: Disagreement must not lead to disunion.
And I pledge this to you: I will be a President for all Americans.
I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.
Many centuries ago, Saint Augustine, a saint of my church, wrote that a people was a multitude defined by the common objects of their love.
What are the common objects we love that define us as Americans?
I think I know.
Opportunity.
Security.
Liberty.
Dignity.
Respect.
Honor.
And, yes, the truth.
Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson.
There is truth and there are lies.
Lies told for power and for profit.
And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders – leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.
I understand that many Americans view the future with some fear and trepidation.
I understand they worry about their jobs, about taking care of their families, about what comes next.
I get it.
But the answer is not to turn inward, to retreat into competing factions, distrusting those who don’t look like you do, or worship the way you do, or don’t get their news from the same sources you do.
We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.
We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.
If we show a little tolerance and humility.
If we’re willing to stand in the other person’s shoes just for a moment.
Because here is the thing about life: There is no accounting for what fate will deal you.
There are some days when we need a hand.
There are other days when we’re called on to lend one.
That is how we must be with one another.
And, if we are this way, our country will be stronger, more prosperous, more ready for the future.
My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we will need each other.
We will need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter.
We are entering what may well be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus.
We must set aside the politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation.
I promise you this: as the Bible says weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.
We will get through this, together
The world is watching today.
So here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested and we have come out stronger for it.
We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again.
Not to meet yesterday’s challenges, but today’s and tomorrow’s.
We will lead not merely by the example of our power but by the power of our example.
We will be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress, and security.
We have been through so much in this nation.
And, in my first act as President, I would like to ask you to join me in a moment of silent prayer to remember all those we lost this past year to the pandemic.
To those 400,000 fellow Americans – mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
We will honor them by becoming the people and nation we know we can and should be.
Let us say a silent prayer for those who lost their lives, for those they left behind, and for our country.
Amen.
This is a time of testing.
We face an attack on democracy and on truth.
A raging virus.
Growing inequity.
The sting of systemic racism.
A climate in crisis.
America’s role in the world.
Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways.
But the fact is we face them all at once, presenting this nation with the gravest of responsibilities.
Now we must step up.
All of us.
It is a time for boldness, for there is so much to do.
And, this is certain.
We will be judged, you and I, for how we resolve the cascading crises of our era.
Will we rise to the occasion?
Will we master this rare and difficult hour?
Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world for our children?
I believe we must and I believe we will.
And when we do, we will write the next chapter in the American story.
It’s a story that might sound something like a song that means a lot to me.
It’s called “American Anthem” and there is one verse stands out for me:
“The work and prayers
of centuries have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?…
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America
America
I gave my best to you.”
Let us add our own work and prayers to the unfolding story of our nation.
If we do this then when our days are through our children and our children’s children will say of us they gave their best.
They did their duty.
They healed a broken land.
My fellow Americans, I close today where I began, with a sacred oath.
Before God and all of you I give you my word.
I will always level with you.
I will defend the Constitution.
I will defend our democracy.
I will defend America.
I will give my all in your service thinking not of power, but of possibilities.
Not of personal interest, but of the public good.
And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.
Of unity, not division.
Of light, not darkness.
An American story of decency and dignity.
Of love and of healing.
Of greatness and of goodness.
May this be the story that guides us.
The story that inspires us.
The story that tells ages yet to come that we answered the call of history.
We met the moment.
That democracy and hope, truth and justice, did not die on our watch but thrived.
That our America secured liberty at home and stood once again as a beacon to the world.
That is what we owe our forebearers, one another, and generations to follow.
So, with purpose and resolve we turn to the tasks of our time.
Sustained by faith.
Driven by conviction.
And, devoted to one another and to this country we love with all our hearts.
May God bless America and may God protect our troops.
Thank you, America.

這是美國的一天,這是民主的一天,是歷史和希望的一天,是更新與決心的一天。美國幾個世代經過熔爐的考驗之後,如今再次遭到試煉,而且已再次奮起應付挑戰。今天,我們慶祝的不是一位候選人的勝利,而是一個奮鬥目標的勝利,是為民主的奮鬥。人民的意志被聽見了,人民的意志得到了關注。
我們再次學到,民主是珍貴的,民主是脆弱的,而在此刻,朋友們,民主已然勝利。短短幾天之前,還有暴力試圖撼動國會的根基,但今天我們齊聚這個莊嚴的所在,以一個在上帝之下不可分裂的國家,展開權力的和平轉移,一如我國200多年的傳統。
我們要用美國特有的方式,也就是不停歇、勇敢、樂觀的方式展望未來。放眼我們可以成為、也必須成為的國家。我謝謝今天蒞臨的兩黨前任總統,我衷心感謝,你們知道我國憲法的韌性,以及我們國家的力量。卡特總統(Jimmy Carter)也是,我昨晚與他通了電話,但他不克前來。我們為他畢生的奉獻向他致敬。
我剛才跟這幾位愛國者一樣鄭重宣誓,一篇最初由華盛頓宣讀的誓詞。然而,美國故事靠的不是我們任何一個人,或一部分人,而是我們全體。它靠的是「我們人民」,在尋求一個更好的合眾國的人民。這是個偉大的國家,我們是一群良善的人。
經歷過去幾個世紀的風雨和衝突、和平與戰爭,我們走過很長一段路,但前方還有很長一段路要走。我們將快速緊急前行,因為在這個危險與機會的冬天,我們有很多事要做。有很多需要修補、需要恢復、需要癒合。有許多需要建設,也可以有很多收穫。
在我國歷史上,很少人或很少時刻面臨著比我們目前更大的挑戰或困難。百年一見、無聲無息蔓延整個國家的病毒,在一年之內奪走的人命,跟美國在第二次世界大戰犧牲的總人數一樣多。數百萬工作機會流失,成千上萬企業關門。
400年來的種族正義的呼聲感動著我們,全民同享公義的夢想將不再拖後。地球生存的呼聲再急迫不過,也再清楚不過。如今政治極端主義、白人至上主義和本土恐怖主義的興起,讓我們有必要起來面對並將它們擊倒。
克服這些挑戰、恢復美國靈魂和鞏固未來需要的不只是話語,而是民主當中最難以捉摸的部分,那就是團結一心,團結一心。
另一個一月天,在1863年開年之時,林肯總統簽署解放奴隸宣言。讓我引述他在下筆時所說的話:「如果我留名青史,將會是因為這份宣言,以及我投注其中的全心全意。」
今天,同樣在一月裡,我全心全意投注於此:團結全體國人,團結整個國家。我請求所有美國人加入,和我一起努力,團結對抗我們共同的敵人:怨氣、不滿、仇恨、極端主義、目無法紀的行為、暴力、疾病、失業和無助。
團結一心,我們能夠成就偉大事業、重要的事情。我們可以糾正錯誤,可以讓民眾找到好的工作,可以在安全的校園教導孩子,可以克服這個致命的病毒。我們可以讓工作獲得報酬,重建中產階級,可以提供全民健保,可以兌現種族正義,讓美國再次成為世界主要的良善力量。
我明白,這個時候談論團結聽起來像愚昧的天方夜譚,我知道分裂我們的力量又深又真切,但我也知道這些力量不是現在才出現。美國向來在人人平等這個理想,和國家長期被種族主義、本土主義、恐懼和妖魔化分化的醜陋現實之間掙扎。這個征戰從未止息,勝利並無保證。
從南北戰爭、大蕭條、世界大戰到911恐攻,儘管歷經奮鬥、犧牲和挫折,良善的天使向來都會勝利。每當遇到這種時刻,我們都會有足夠的人團結一心,讓全國一起向前,我們現在也可以這麼做。
歷史、信仰和理性指向一條明路,一條團結之路。我們可以不把彼此當成敵人,而是鄰居。我們可以尊嚴和尊重彼此相待,可以同心協力,停止叫囂,讓溫度冷卻。因為沒有團結就沒有和平,只會留下苦毒與憤怒;不會有進步,只會有讓人厭倦的離譜言行;不會有國家,只會有混亂狀態。
這是我們危機和挑戰的歷史性一刻,而團結是前進的道路,我們必須以合眾國的姿態來面對這一刻,若能做到,我向諸位保證我們不會失敗。當我們團結起來,我們從來就不曾失敗,因此在這一天,在此時此刻,就在這裡,讓我們重新來過,全體一起來。讓我們開始再次彼此聆聽,讓對方說,相互探望,對彼表達尊重。
政治不必像這一團熊熊之火,燒毀一切,歧見不必成為全面戰爭的理由。我們必須摒棄操弄甚至捏造事實的文化,同胞們,我們不能這樣,美國必須不只是這個樣子,而且我相信美國不至淪落至此。
看看四周,我們站在國會大廈圓頂之下,這是南北戰爭時期完成的,當時美國的前途還在未定之天,但我們挺過來了,我們勝利了。我們現在站在此,看著偉大的國家廣場,金恩博士(Martin Luther King Jr.)曾對廣場上的群眾訴說他的夢想。也是在這裡,108年前的另一場就職典禮,數以千計的抗議人士試圖阻撓一群勇敢的婦女遊行爭取投票權。
今天我們見證副總統賀錦麗創造美國歷史,成為第一位擔任國家領導人的女性,別告訴我事情無法改變。
我們站在這裡,隔著波多馬克河(Potomac River)遠眺阿靈頓國家公墓(Arlington National Cemetery),也就是為國捐軀的英雄長眠之地。我們站在這裡,不過幾天前,暴動的群眾以為他們可用暴力箝制民眾的意志,阻撓民主運作,把我們驅逐出這塊聖地。但事情未如他們所願,今天不會,明天也不會,永遠都不會。
每位支持我們參選的民眾,我因你們給予我們的信心感到謙卑。對於沒有支持我們的人,讓我對你們說:未來請聽我說的話,評量我和我的心。如果你們還是不同意,也罷。這就是民主。這就是美國。以平和的方式在我們國家的規範之內表達異議的權利,可能是我國最大的優勢。
但請聽清楚:不同意見絕對不能變成不團結。而且我向各位保證,我要當全體國人的總統。不論你支持我或不支持我,我都將同樣為你們而努力。
好幾個世紀之前,我所屬教會的聖者聖奧古斯丁(Saint Augustine)曾經寫道,人民是個群體,由他們共同喜愛的東西所定義。身為美國人,我們共同喜愛而且能定義我們的東西是什麼?我想我們都知道:機會、安定、自由、尊嚴、尊重、榮譽,是的,還有真相。
最近的幾個星期、幾個月給了我們痛苦的教訓:有真相,也有謊言,為了權力和利益而說的謊言。我們每個人做為公民,做為美國人,特別是身為領導者的人,曾經承諾要遵守憲法、保護我們的國家的領導者,有職責、有責任要捍衛真相、打敗謊言。
我瞭解有許多同胞以害怕、惶恐的心情看待未來。我瞭解他們擔心工作問題。我瞭解他們像我父親那樣,夜裡躺在床上盯著天花板,想著得要有醫療保險、有貸款要付、想著他們的家庭,想著接下來會如何。我跟各位保證,我瞭解。但答案不是退縮,不是進入到彼此競爭的派系,不信任看起來跟你不一樣的人,跟你有不同信仰的人,或者新聞來源不同於你的人。
我們必須結束這場「無禮的戰爭」,它讓紅藍對立、鄉村與都市的民眾對立、保守派與自由派對立。我們可以做到,如果我們敞開心胸,而不是讓我們的心變硬,如果我們展現一些包容和謙虛,如果我們願意為別人設想,就像我母親說的:只要一下子就好,為別人設想。
因為人生就是這樣,你無法預知命運。有些時候,你會需要別人伸出援手,還有些時候,人家會請你伸出援手。就是要這樣,這就是我們為彼此做的事。如果我們這麼做,我們的國家就會更強大、更繁榮,更能為未來做好準備,而且我們還是可以有不同意見。
同胞們,我們在推動未來的工作時,會需要彼此。我們要集舉國之力,才能度過這個黑暗的冬天。我們可能在進入疫情最嚴重、最致命的階段。我們必須把政治擺在一邊,要終於能夠舉國對抗這個大流行,用舉國之力。我向各位保證,就如聖經所說:「一宿雖有哭泣,早晨便必歡呼。」我們將可一起度過,一起!
各位,我跟我在參眾兩院的同事們都瞭解,世人正在觀看,他們今天在看著我們,因此這是我要對國外傳達的訊息:美國受到試煉,而我們因此更為茁壯。我們將修補我們與盟國的關係,再次與世界往來,不是為了面對昨天的挑戰,而是今天和明天的挑戰。我們將不是藉著我們力量的典範來領導,而是憑藉我們典範的力量。我們將會是和平、進步與安定堅強而且可信賴的夥伴。
各位都知道,我們國家經歷了許多事情。我做為總統要做的第一件事,是要請你們跟我一起,為過去一年因疫情喪生的人們默禱,紀念那40萬個同胞,母親、父親、丈夫、妻子、兒子、女兒、朋友、鄰居和同事們。我們要成為我們自知可以成為、而且應該成為的人民和國家,以此榮耀他們。因此我請大家,一起為離世和失去親友的人們,還有我們的國家默禱,……阿們。
各位,這是試煉的時刻。我們面對對民主與真相的攻擊、正在肆虐的病毒、嚴重的不公、系統性的種族歧視、陷入危機的氣候,還有美國在全球的角色問題。其中任何一點都足以對我們構成嚴重的挑戰。但事實是,我們在同時面對這一切,這讓美國挑起我們最重大的責任之一。我們將受到試煉,我們能迎接挑戰嗎?這是大膽的時候,因為有好多事情要做。
而我向各位保證,這點是肯定的:你我將被評判,標準是我們如何解決這個時代一一發生的危機。我們將迎接挑戰。我們能否戰勝這個罕見而艱難的時刻?我們能否履行我們的義務,把一個新的、更好的世界傳給我們的下一代?我相信我們必須那麼做,而且我相信你們也這麼認為。我相信我們會,而且當我們做到,我們將寫下美國歷史偉大的新章節。美國的故事。
這個故事可能像一首對我來說深具意義的歌曲,它叫「美國頌」(American Anthem),它有一段歌詞至少對我來說很特別,它是這樣說的:「數百年的努力與祈禱讓我們來到今天,我們有什麼能傳承下去?我們的子孫會怎麼說?當我的日子結束,讓我內心知曉,美國,美國,我已為你付出最大努力。」
讓我們把我們自己的努力和祈禱,加到我們偉大的國家仍在發展的故事之中。如果我們做到,那麼當我們的日子結束,我們的子孫和他們的子孫會說:「他們付出了最大的努力,他們盡了他們的責任,他們修補了破碎的國家。」
同胞們,我的結語要跟開頭一樣,有個神聖的誓言。在上帝和各位面前,我向你們保證。我將始終開誠布公,我將捍衛憲法,我將捍衛我們的民主。我將捍衛美國,全心全力奉獻為你們服務,心中想的不是權力,而是可能性,不是私利,而是公眾的利益。我們將一起寫下美國希望的故事,而非恐懼的故事,是團結而非分歧,是光明而非黑暗。是禮貌與尊嚴、愛與療癒、偉大與善良的故事。
希望這是引導我們的故事、啟發我們的故事,是能告訴未來的世世代代我們回應歷史的召喚並且回應了時代挑戰的故事。民主與希望、真相與公義沒有在我們的時代衰亡,而是生生不息,美國固守了國內的自由,並且再次成為世界的明燈。這是我們對先人、對彼此和對未來世世代代的責任。
因此,我們要有目標、有決心,把注意力轉向這個時代的任務,靠信心來維持,靠信念來驅使,為彼此和我們全心熱愛的國家而奉獻。願上帝保佑美國,保守我們的三軍。謝謝美國!

#美國大選
經過將近三天的開票,Joe Biden終於贏得選戰成為美國第46任總統。
聽他選後第一次發表的演說時,我正在曬衣服🤣
帶著耳機邊曬邊聽,很多地方都聽到全身起雞皮疙瘩,所以特別分享影片以及讓我有「觸電」感覺的秒數記下分享給大家🇺🇸必須要說,很多時候聽英文原文真的比看中文翻譯有感覺多了!我盡量在下方解說給大家聽。不過我先說好喔,我不是什麼專業的演講評論家也不是個政治狂熱者,但是這的確是場有歷史意義且優秀的演講,單純分享我自己喜歡的地方囉!也歡迎大家分享你們喜歡的段落給大家一起學習!
(2:52~3:03)
I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn’t see Red and Blue states, but a United States.
我承諾成為一個尋求團結而非分裂的總統。我看到的不是紅州或藍州,而是美利堅合眾國(United States of America)。
👉 USA是United States of America,在這次選舉中清楚地看到不論是種族、黨派或貧富,都深深地撕裂、分化美國,所以希望不再用顏色、黨派分Red states or Blue states,而是回到USA的本意就是United States。矮額~這是我第一個雞皮疙瘩的地方。
(6:20~7:05)
And to all those who supported us: I am proud of the campaign we built and ran. I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse coalition in history. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Progressives, moderates and conservatives. Young and old. Urban, suburban and rural. Gay, straight, transgender. White. Latino. Asian. Native American.
I mean it. Especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest ebb— the African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I’ll have yours.
還有每個支持我們的人,我以我們建立的競選團隊與選戰操作感到光榮。我以我們組成的聯盟感到驕傲,這是史上最廣泛、最多元的聯盟。有民主黨的、共和黨的,還有無黨籍人士,有進步勢力、中間派還有保守派,有年輕的,有老人,有市區跟郊區民眾,也有人來自鄉村地區,有同志、異性戀者,也有跨性別者,有白人、拉丁美洲裔、亞裔,還有美洲原住民。
特別要紀念我們在選情最低迷的時候,非裔美國民眾再次站起來支持我。他們總是支持我,我也支持你們。
👉 這一整段真的要看現場片段,尤其在列舉各種族性別者時,看到他們如此被包容,有這麼幾秒整個拜倒在Biden演講魅力中了!
(7:34~7:53)
It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again. And to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies. They are Americans. They are Americans.
這是拋開尖刻言辭的時候,要降溫,再見到彼此,聆聽彼此。如果要進步,我們就必須停止把對手當成敵人。我們不是敵人,我們都是同胞。
👉 這裡Biden即席地重複了兩次They are Americans. 經過四年的人權蹂躪後,現在這句話這麼強而有力地講出來真的很有後坐力!
(9:56~10:17)
That plan (the Biden-Harris COVID plan) will be built on a bedrock of science. It will be constructed out of compassion, empathy, and concern.
I will spare no effort, non, or commitment, to turn this pandemic around.
那項計畫將以科學為基礎,依憐閔、同理心與關懷的原則規畫。我將竭盡全力,全心承諾扭轉疫情。
👉 第兩句話其實真的有當場打臉Trump的意味,”will be built on a bedrock of science”,聽了其實挺過癮的😎
(10:48~11:05)
Refusal of Democrats and Republicans to cooperate with one another is not some mysterious force beyond our control. It’s a decision. It’s a choice we make.
民主黨興共和黨拒絕相互合作的原因,並非某種我們無法控制的神祕力量。它是個決定,是我們所做的選擇。
👉 我人生中的信仰一直就是:也許你天生不善良,但永遠可以「選擇」當一個善良的人。所以聽到這句話也真的很有感。
(13:52~14:17)
We’re always looking ahead.
Ahead to an America that’s freer and more just.
Ahead to an America that creates jobs with dignity and respect.
Ahead to an America that cures disease — like cancer and Alzheimers.
Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind.
Ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in.
我們眼光總是向前看,盼望一個更自由、更公正的美國,一個用品格、尊重來創造工作機會的美國,一個可以治療諸如癌症、阿茲海默症等疾病的美國,一個不放棄任何一人的美國,一個不輕言放棄、屈服的美國。
👉 真的好喜歡最後一句:Ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in. 我覺得我要把”Never give up, never give in.”當做近期的人生座右銘了!
你們呢?你們哪幾段看到起雞皮疙瘩?也分享讓我知道吧!

Xin chào các bạn Việt Nam: Hôm qua, mình đã sử dụng thuật ngữ "con khỉ Việt Nam" trong bài đăng trên Facebook của mình. Mình có ý đó là mỉa mai, vì những người theo chủ nghĩa dân tộc Trung Quốc luôn sử dụng thuật ngữ phân biệt chủng tộc chống lại mình. Mình không bao giờ có ý định xúc phạm các bạn.

又另外,就著經常被指稱為越南人一事,其實我作為土生土長,於香港出生的香港人,自己家族四代也與越南沒有任何淵源,族譜裏據悉也沒有人曾在越南出生或在當地工作⋯⋯
不過縱然如此,在抵抗威權的戰線上,我也非常希望與東亞地區的朋友一起努力,尤其是不管香港還是越南等東南亞國家還是香港,在過去也深深感受到中國勢力擴張帶來的負面影響,我們定必團結一致對抗暴政。
最後奉勸小粉紅們,不要再以為抵毀我作越南人會有甚麼作用了,這只是說明從牆來出征的網民,只是在玩弄種族主義,反映質素何其低劣 :)

Although I am a #Hongkonger, Chinese netizens often call me Vietnamese monkey. I am sorry that my friends in #Vietnam feel uncomfortable when I used the term to mock myself. So I delete it and apologize for your frustration.
But what is more worrying is that #China’s netizens more and more often use these racist terms to describe people in #Vietnam, #Japan, #Taiwan, #Uyghurs, #Thailand in recent #nnevvy incident, and even African workers in #Guangzhou and #Beijing.
That is a kind of extreme nationalist bullying, warranted by an authoritarian #China and reaching out every corner of the world. With its swelling economic clout, #Chinese pay no respect to other people’s liberties and dignity.
In defence of our freedoms and human dignity, I invite people in all Asian and African countries to fight against #China’s authoritarian expansion. Our life should not be trampled on by extreme nationalists from #China.

The Vietnamese people — having endured decades of racism, imperialism and geopolitical oppression from China — have likewise long been standing up for Hong Kong, even as the Vietnamese government is reluctant to say anything pro-democracy.
dignity and respect 中文 在 Re: [請益] dignity 的解釋- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
1. 你怎麼都沒提到我有說" 自尊的翻譯是引用Collins"修改我的原文,那我為什麼
不能修改?而且非要刪?
2. 我也有說若自尊指的是self-respect 則不宜,我對Collins的自尊解釋並不很滿意,
所以也有做適當的補充(自我的認同,,,)
3. 你說"工作的自尊" 可以 但我說不行是針對"the dignity of work"的中文翻譯來說
因為我也覺得自尊是指人才能擁有,但尊嚴在中文的使用上 我個人覺得並非一定要人
才可以所以我才認為把"the dignity of work"翻成"工作自尊"不好,翻成"工作上所受到
的尊嚴/尊崇/尊敬" 較好
至於我個人不會使用"工作的自尊" 但別人會不會那樣用 那就不是我能控制的
況且對方使用"工作的自尊"是否就是指"the dignity of work" ?? 這還得去看看
對方寫的中文內容,
起碼我找的英文對the dignity of word 指的是"別人給你對你工作的一種尊重"
這跟自尊 差很多。 怎麼你都不看這些解釋的呢?
我是不懂 你到底是看不懂我寫的東西 還是看不懂英文的文章或是字典的解釋
我可以在重申一次 把dignity 跟self-respect 看成一樣的東西 我覺得並不妥
但是我有寫進去我的修改版中是因為Collins有這樣的解釋,所以我覺得可以引用
但是我還是必須在後面加上額外的解釋。這樣我才可以接受"自尊"在dignity的中文解釋中
可以使用。但"自尊"跟"尊嚴"選一個的話。我並不建議把dignity翻成自尊。
針對"to preserve your dignity" 我還是覺的 "保有自我尊嚴" 優於"保有自我自尊"
※ 引述《ggirls (哥)》之銘言:
: 首先還原原帖的發問問題,目前該帖已經被改得像試答帖了。
: 原帖主要提出OALD對dignity有三種解釋,其認為當中的第2和
: 第3個解釋在中文上只有一種翻譯:「尊嚴」。(目前其已自加
: 入「自尊」二字,原本第3點並未加入「自尊」的釋義。)
: 1. 沉穩,端莊,穩重,莊嚴
: 2. 尊嚴,如:
: the dignity of work;
: The terminally ill should be allowed to die
: with dignity.
: 3. 尊嚴,如:
: It's difficult to preserve your dignity when
: you have no job and no home.
: 這在部分原帖已經被修改了,不過這可以從他回答網友Schlafen
: 文中窺得一二。
: Schlafen的推文是:
: 2.獲得他人尊敬;被尊重 3.自尊
: 而原帖的回文是:
: 我想你講的是英英解釋的翻譯
: 但翻成中文還是只有 "尊嚴"
: 我想我們不會講 "有自尊地死去",也不會講 "工作上
: 的自尊"
: 這樣的中文很怪
: 也許是我沒把問題講清楚
: 我的問題是 "就中文翻譯"來說
: 2. 3. 在中文上似乎沒有特別的區別
: 儘管原帖的回文與Schlafen的說法邏輯對不上頭,不過明顯的這
: 時其仍堅持中文最後只有「尊嚴」的翻譯法,但Schlafen實已建
: 議出第3點是存在自尊的翻譯方式。
: 本文推Schlafen對原帖的回應如下:
: 版上似乎常見的是中文問題而非英文,中文存在的說法
: 卻被解為怪怪的,反而繞不出來。google工作自尊難道
: 沒人用嗎?工作尊嚴和工作自尊難道是相同的嗎?
: 我個人認為,在本題中,中文敏銳度不足,反而造成英
: 譯的盲點。以你對第3點翻譯為例:「當你沒有了工作
: 也沒有了家的時候是很難保有你自己的尊嚴。」
: 要我來玩中文的話,我會問:自己的尊嚴和自尊是同義
: 嗎?
: 失去自己的尊嚴不會被理解為失去別人對自己的敬重嗎
: (第2點的意思)?
: 但失去自尊則不會有這樣的問題。那你還認為第2與第3
: 點都能套入尊嚴二字嗎?
: ……最後,your/his dignity是習慣用法,承上例,即使
: 在中文我會用(你/他的)自尊,不會用(你/他)自
: 己的尊嚴。
: 明顯這邊還需再進一步解釋。
: 其實,dignity的中文解釋十分多變,既然原帖問的是中文翻譯
: 成「尊嚴」時,如何區分,這裡即限縮在「尊嚴」和「自尊」的
: 解釋上。
: 問題似存在於中文的尊嚴是否同時包括第2和第3點內涵。陷
: 入「尊嚴」和「自尊」的定義十分不智,不過,可以稍微引用一
: 下我不太喜歡的國語詞典修訂本。所謂尊嚴是「尊貴嚴肅、崇高
: 莊嚴」或「不容侵犯的身分或地位」,可見尊嚴大致是客觀外在
: 表徵,大致對應字典的第2點(甚至是第1點,但這裡不重要)。
: 自尊的自字,不理自明,自然大致可對應到第3點,引入心理學的
: 定義也行。雖然生活中大部分人不去區分,但這條隱含的界限似
: 是存在。
: 以原帖對第3點的翻譯為例:當你沒有了工作也沒有了家的時候是
: 很難保有「你自己的尊嚴。」後來回應又修正「你自己的尊嚴」
: 或可翻譯成「自尊」。雖然態度上改變,仍堅持兩者可以互換。
: 文法沒錯當然可能互換,但現在談論的是翻譯的忠實程度。我上
: 面已經附具理由,若可能造成混淆,自然「自尊」是較好的選擇。
: 事實上,在我的認知裡,中文的尊嚴與自尊大部分時間是不具互
: 換性。這與原帖堅持尊嚴含有主客觀成份不同。
: 再來談談「有自尊地死去」和「工作上的自尊」吧。沒錯,我們會
: 說「活得有自尊,死得有尊嚴」,為何死要尊嚴,因為我們撒手後
: 根本顧及不到自尊,而是要走得體面。這種說法正好依序對應字典
: 的第3與第2點。
: 而原帖堅持他不會說「工作上的自尊」,我的建議是去google吧。
請你看看 我之所以會這樣說的原因
上面我有解釋
: 搜尋「工作自尊」會出現Hitachi公司網頁,標題是「重建工作自
: 尊」。之所以他的標題不是工作尊嚴,因為他在談論的是如何使員
: 工愛自己的工作與自我提升,而非贏得他人對自己工作的尊重。所
: 以,身為以中文為母語者,視需要運用詞彙表達,而非自我設限。
你似乎還是不知道之所以不會講工作自尊的原因
你講的"工作上的自尊 "跟"the dignity of work"
根據我貼的兩篇英文文章來看 是不一樣的東西
如果你堅持覺得the dignity of work 就是"工作上的自尊"
那我覺得自我設限的人應該不是我。
: 最後,若去查閱Longman就很明顯,your/his dignity被列為習慣
: 用法,列於本文釋義中的第3點。也就是說,在出現your dignity時
: ,常常可以直接翻譯成「自尊」。(但不必然。)顯然,原帖在
: 一開始即分拆釋義,your翻譯成你自己的,而得到dignity得到尊嚴
: 兩字。所以發生疑問:「中文為何都是尊嚴?沒有自尊?」
: 我推Schlafen
"to preserve your dignity when you have no job and no home."
這裡的you指的是one 也就是任何一人
根據你的說法
應該翻成"一個人沒工作時很難保有其(個人的)自尊"
但我覺得應該
翻成"一個人沒工作時很保有其(個人的)尊嚴"
我不翻成自尊是因為我覺得一個人的自尊並不會隨著工作的有無而存在或消失。
如果這種說法真能成立的話,那不就代表 凡失業的人 就是沒自尊的人?
至於尊嚴對我而言比偏是別人給的也就是別人對我們的看法
如果一個人長期失業 別人可能覺得這個人是個好吃懶作的人
對這人的看法採取負面看法 那此人的尊嚴可能就此受損
以上是我個人選擇翻成"尊嚴"而非"自尊"的個人看法。
至於你的看法 可以不必跟我一樣
你想翻成 "自尊" 那也是你的自由。

我該說的都說了
我的修改的確是後面新增
主要是我後來又查證一些東西所做的適當修改
至於你想怎麼翻dignity 或是 "工作上的自尊"
你自己決定就好 無意義的爭論 另人煩厭
我覺得跟你的討論就到此結束
因為這些東西已經失去值得我來討論的價值了

你那麼喜歡你所謂dignity可以翻成自尊的"自尊"是不是self-respect的意思? 把dignity翻成自尊
那我問你 你所說的可以翻成"自尊"
那你所謂dignity可以翻成自尊的"自尊"是不是self-respect的意思?
請回答 是 還 不是?

我的問題是"你所謂dignity可以翻成自尊的"自尊"是不是self-respect的意思?"
"請回答 是 還 不是?"
你如果連這個都不回答 那還你要再吵什麼?
