Joe Biden’s Inaugural Address（节选）

Joe Biden’s Inaugural(inˈôɡ(y)ərəl) Address（节选）

…

My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we will need each other.

We will need all our strength to persevere(ˌpərsəˈvir) through this dark winter.

We are entering what may well be the toughest(təf) and deadliest(ˈdedlē) period(ˈpirēəd) of the virus.

We must set aside the politics(ˈpäləˌtiks) and finally face this pandemic as one nation.

I promise you this: as the Bible(ˈbībəl) says weeping(ˈwēpiNG) may endure for a night but joy cometh(ˈkəməTH) 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(əˈlīəns) 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(prer) to remember all those we lost this past year to the pandemic.

To those 400,000 fellow Americans – mothers and fathers, husbands and wives(wīvz), 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(äˈmen, āˈmen).
