“漫漫長夜之終章?”Fellow citizens of America,
美國同胞們:
The long dark night has finally come to an end.
漫漫長夜終於結束了。
For years, our country was torn apart. Federal institutions fell silent across much of the nation. States were isolated from one another, cities became fortresses, and armed factions raised new flags over American soil.
多年以來,我們的國家四分五裂。聯邦機構在大片國土上陷入沉寂,各州彼此隔絕,城市化作堡壘,一個又一個武裝集團在美國的土地上升起新的旗幟。
The law gave way to force. Neighbors faced one another across barricades. Millions were displaced, and a nation once united by one Constitution seemed destined to disappear beneath hunger, ambition, and civil war.
法律讓位於暴力,鄰裡隔著街壘彼此舉槍。數以百萬計的公民流離失所,這個曾由同一部憲法團結起來的國家,彷彿註定要消失在飢餓、野心與內戰之中。
But the United States did not disappear.
然而,美利堅合眾國從未消失。
Through every year of disorder, men and women remained at their posts. The institutions of national defense survived. The authority of the Constitution survived. And those entrusted with the final instruments of the Republic never surrendered them to fear, faction, or ambition.
在每一個混亂的年月裡,仍有人堅守崗位。國家的防務體係保存了下來,憲法的權威保存了下來,而那些受託掌握共和國最後力量的人,也從未將它交給恐懼、派係或野心。
We endured and rebuilt.
我們堅持了下來並重新積聚力量。
And when the time came, we did what had to be done.

而當時機到來時,我們採取了行動。
Our armies reopened the roads of the Republic. Our aircraft returned to its skies. Our artillery broke the strongholds of those who believed that years of disorder had placed them forever beyond the reach of federal law.
我們的軍隊重新打通共和國的道路,我們的戰機重新飛翔在它的天空,我們的火炮摧毀了那些人的堡壘,他們曾以為,多年的混亂已經讓自己永遠置身於聯邦法律所不能觸及之處。
