My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what america
will do for you,but what together we can do for the freedom
of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens
of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength
and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only
sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go
forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help,
but knowning that here on earth His work must truly truly be our
own.
全世界的公民,不要问美国能为你们做些什么,而应问我们在一起能为人类的自由做些什么。
最后,不过你们是美国的公民或世界它国的公民,请将我们所要求于你们的有关力量与牺牲的高标准拿来要求我们。问心无愧是我们唯一可靠的报酬,历史是我们行为的最后裁判。让我们迈步向前,引导我们所挚爱的国土,祈求上帝的保佑与扶携,但我们知道,在这个世界上,上帝的任务肯定就是我们自己所应肩负的任务。
