There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped by merely talking about it. We must act, we must act quickly.

　　许多事情都有助于任务完成，但这些决不包括空谈。我们必须行动，立即行动。

　　

This, I propose to offer, we are going to larger purposes, bind upon us, bind upon us all, as a

　　sacred obligation with a unity of duty, hitherto evoked only in times of armed strife.

　　我倡议，为了更伟大的目标，我们所有的人，因一致的职责紧紧团结起来。这是神圣的义务，我们将发扬以往仅见于国家战乱时期的患难与共的精神。

　　

We face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. We aim at the assurance of a rounded, a permanent national life.

　　让我们正视面前的严峻岁月，怀着全国给我们带来的热情和勇气，怀着寻求传统的、珍贵的道德观念的明确意识，怀着老老少少都能通过格尽职守而得到的问心无愧的满足。我们的目标是要保证国民生活的圆满和长治久安。
