這是充滿危機和挑戰的歷史時刻。團結是唯一的道路，我們必須作為一個團結的美利堅合眾國來面對這一切。如果我們這麼做，我向你保證，我們不會失敗。我們一起行動的時候，美國從來、從來、從來就不曾遭遇失敗。
And so today at this time in this place, let's start afresh, all of us. Let's begin to listen to one another again, hear one another, see one another. Show respect to one another. Politics doesn't have to 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 the culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.
所以今天，就在此時此地，讓我們重新開始。我們所有人。讓我們開始重新傾聽彼此的聲音。彼此聽見對方，彼此看見對方，彼此尊重對方。政治不必是摧毀一切的熊熊烈火，每一個分歧不必淪落為全面戰爭的起因。我們必須拒絕這種事實受到操縱，甚至被捏造的文化。
My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this. We have to be better than this and I believe America is so much better than this. Just look around. Here we stand in the shadow of the Capitol dome. As mentioned earlier, completed in the shadow of the Civil War. When the union itself was literally hanging in the balance. We endure, we prevail.
我的美國同胞們，我們必須有所改變。美國應該比現在更好。我相信美國比現在還要好得多。只要看看四周，我們現在站在國會大廈圓頂的倒影之下，正如剛才所提到的，它在內戰期間竣工，當時我們的聯邦正處於生死存亡的關頭。然而我們挺住了，我們勝利了。
