🌻美國聯準會（Fed）在美東時間22日下午2時（台灣23日凌晨2時）宣布利率維持在趨近零的水準，但暗示升息可能會比預期來得快一些，同時也大幅下修今年的經濟展望。https://udn.com/news/story/6811/5764746🌻Adobe(ADBE)電話會議內容讀後感ADBE前兩天發表財報了. 這次ADBE在財報後下跌, 主要是兩個原因(如下). 不過個人覺得是瑕不掩瑜:1. 因為之前已經漲了不少(投資人期望太高)2. 因為Digital Marketing這部分的業務受到季節性的影響, 所以表現不是很突出(沒有比預期高出很多)a. net new Digital Media ARR (3% beat vs guide, vs 15% beat in 2Q21 vs 35% beat in 3Q20). b. 有分析師在問(“Maybe just -- can we double-click on the seasonality commentary in the quarter? Because if we look at the beat versus guidance on net new digital media ARR, it looks, at the same time you had the weakest beat, but then the strongest guide in the last three years, which kind of speaks to and confirm some of those seasonality comments that you made.) i. 高層對此的回答是, 主要是疫情後, 加上正值夏季, 大家的日子回復到正常&放假外出, 所以這部分的業務有受到影響(I think going into the quarter, we had expected that the consumer with a little bit more return to normalcy as whats happening in the environment.) ii. 高層又說了一些話, 不過重點就是他不認為這是甚麼大事”So, net-net, I would say that the growth prospects for that particular business and the growth drivers remain intact. But again, very much in line. And this is what we feel good about the insights that were getting on the business.”iii. 也提到, Q4通常會是digital marketing業務的旺季(表現會不俗的意思)另外, 覺得這次令我印象深刻的是, 當高層與分析師提到這些事情:• 常在一些公司的電話會議中提到omnichannel這個字(疫情後, 更明顯了). 這次高層也有提到. ADBE可說是omnichannel概念股: o “I mean, a big part of that is more and more companies are thirdly doing the multi-channel omnichannel, whatever they want to call it. And I think thats only going to continue to be a driver of our Digital Experience Solutions. Because today that stable stakes and so we just look at it and say whether youre shopping in-store over they are shopping online. You need a solution that treats you like a customer that we know of.” • 網路上影片(video)的興起, 以及串流影音, 有提高了Adobe的營收天花板(用句分析師的術語, 就是TAM (total addressable market) expansion. • 當使用者製作了越來越多的內容, 內容管理(content management)的能力就越顯重要, 內容上的流程管理(workflow)也越顯重要.  Adobe的產品能夠幫內容製作者解決這樣的問題. • 而Adobe各產品間的相容性, 標準化, 整合能力, 是它的競爭優勢之一:o And one of the things we did really well is what we called our named user deployment and how, you know, when we have these enterprise licensing agreements, we offer enterprises the ability to download and distribute within the companies. And the more we do training and evangelism of the products, that leads to adoption. So, I would say theres an element of standardization, theres an element of more content.而最近ADBE有個新聞, 引起了我的注意, 就是它即將在自己的平台上, 提供付款服務(payment service). 根據之前研究SHOP的經驗, 這有可能會對股價造成一定的漲幅:On Sept. 15, Adobe announced that it will add payment services to its e-commerce platform this year to help merchants accept credit cards and other ways of paying. The move will deepen Adobes rivalry with e-commerce firm Shopify (SHOP).For the service, Adobe has partnered with PayPal (PYPL), which will process a variety of payment types, including credit and debit cards as well as PayPals own payment and buy-now-pay-later offerings.https://www.investors.com/news/technology/adbe-stock-adobe-beats-fiscal-q3-targets/接下來該怎麼辦? 對於基本面良好的公司如ADBE, 我能說的就是buy the dip(逢低買進)了. 供參. 🌻The Facebook Files一個星期前, WSJ上面有個關於FB的大篇幅調查報導. 有興趣的可以看看. The Facebook Fileshttps://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039這篇文章挺長, 也沒有看到華爾街中文版本的完整翻譯, 不過可以看看這篇: https://on.wsj.com/2ZmFimp《華爾街日報》的相關調查顯示，這家社交媒體巨頭心知肚明，其平台會傷害用戶，而且是以該公司常常完全了解的方式造成傷害。目前，全球近半數人口都是Facebook旗下平台的用戶。其中一些證據尤其令人不安：據《華爾街日報》報導，Facebook的內部研究顯示，在報告稱有過自殺念頭的青少年中當中，有13%的英國用戶和6%的美國用戶把這種念頭歸結於Instagram。另一篇相關新聞: https://www.thenewslens.com/article/156683《華爾街日報》於13日揭露Facebook的XCheck系統，也就是內部系統中的VIP名單，數百萬名人、政治人物與記者等知名公眾人物都在特別的一份「白名單」之內。這些「貴賓」在社群上發布的內容可以躲過一般的審查系統，即使發布明顯的不當內容，也不會立即被刪除。《衛報》報導，Facebook的獨立監督委員會表示，在閱讀該篇報導後，決定要審查XCheck系統，並要求Facebook對其進行報告與解釋。🌻我喜歡的Apple TV影集, Ted Lasso, 是這次艾美獎的大贏家, 很多主要演員都得獎了. 很高興這兩年, 因為有這部戲的陪伴, 讓我撐過了疫情, 家人離世, 以及一些烏煙瘴氣的事情. 前幾天看演員的得獎影片, 一位娛樂記者問得獎的男配角(也是編劇之一)說, 你覺得這部片的核心思想是甚麼. 他說, be curious, not judgemental. 就像得獎的女演員在劇中一開始是很鴨霸很壞心的球隊主人, 但這樣做是因為被前夫傷透了心, 所以想要弄垮離婚後分到的財產(也是前夫的最愛--球隊); 外表看起來永遠陽光燦爛做啦啦隊的男主角, 在青少年時父親自殺, 造成了他心裡永遠的痛&障礙(讓他在球賽時, 會有突發恐懼症). 我們每個人其實都有很多面, 很多個故事. 尤其在社群, 大家都是萍水相逢, 對彼此的了解都是非常片面的; 而有時候在社群裡, 看到有人會因為只看到一個面向, 就去下斷語. 這其實是人之常情很難避免, 所以我們需要常用第二層思考去提醒自己. 社群裡需要更多的同理心.“Be curious, not judgmental” – Walt Whitman(惠特曼)(美國詩人)Picture來源: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/09/apples-global-hit-comedy-series-ted-lasso-sweeps-the-2021-primetime-emmy-awards-scoring-history-making-win-for-outstanding-comedy-series/

You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。文章來自於New Humans of Australia (有取得授權)★★★★★★★★★★★★I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6. •a middle-class life 中產階級生活•set things up 打點一切•live overseas 往海外生活•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活，或著說，在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活，就在我出生前，我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故，直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。★★★★★★★★★★★★Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didnt speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!•shock 令人震驚的事件（或經歷）；驚愕，震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)•transition 轉變；過渡•a bustling city 繁華都會不幸的是，就在我跟母親抵達半年後，父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊，因爲我們不會說英文，在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外，不同於上海的繁華都會，雪梨更像鄉下，尤其在週末，那時連商店都不開門。★★★★★★★★★★★★We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China. •be reliant on… 依賴...•a conduit into 進入...的渠道•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子我們相當依賴我父親，不僅是經濟，他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此，當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦，我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會，所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 （Centrelink）的任何資訊，僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間，然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。★★★★★★★★★★★★Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural. •be able to 能夠•make new networks 建立新的人脈，關係網•be bullied 被霸凌•language skills 語言能力•get in trouble 惹上麻煩•end up  最後處於；最後成爲；以…告終•relatively 相對地•multicultural 多元文化的最後，母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本，在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌，例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我，我會自我防衛，但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因，因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學，直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學（Balwyn Primary School）。★★★★★★★★★★★★After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.•do alight 過得不錯，做的不錯•feature (v.) 以…為特色；給…以顯著的地位•prominently 重要地；著名地；突出地，顯眼地之後，我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地，我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴，儘管生活中事事不如意，我依然堅持不輟。因此，我獲得三一文法學校（ Trinity Grammar School）的音樂獎學金。但即使在那，我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。★★★★★★★★★★★★By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash. •repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的，丟臉的11年級結束時，我被告知要麽被留級，要麼考慮轉學，這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學，而令人驚訝的是，我在12年級的時候表現優異，最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。★★★★★★★★★★★★When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do. •do not belong 不屬於這•put my head down 埋頭苦幹•the legal department of ...的法律部門•a different approach 不同途徑 •approach （思考問題的）方式，方法，態度當我開始進入大學，最初的想法是我不屬於這，因為我在11年級前都表現不佳，而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹，咬牙撐過，最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作，這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。★★★★★★★★★★★★I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.•foundational 基礎的•communication skills 溝通技巧•corporate governance•moonlight (v.) （尤指瞞著僱主）從事第二職業，兼職•headhunt (v.) 物色（人才）； 挖角•legal team 法律團隊我非常喜歡這份工作，這是份辛苦的工作，但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學（ RMIT）從事公司治理工作，並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士，我便盲目地答應了。接下來，我在斯威本大學（Swinburne University）工作，再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。★★★★★★★★★★★★I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that Id developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!•upbringing 教養•decide on sth 決定某事或東西•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入我的生活很不錯，但一段時間後，我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢，但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷，我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親，所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧，也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外，這個職業相當靈活，能為我提供穩定收入，並有機會每天與不同的人見面。★★★★★★★★★★★★My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.•fiancée 未婚妻•at the time 當時•apply for 申請•further study 繼續教育，進修；進一步研究；深造•coincidentally 碰巧地；巧合地我的未婚妻，當時的女友，也申請繼續深造，巧的是我們都考上南澳大學（University of South Australia)，所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德（ Adelaide）。★★★★★★★★★★★★I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree! •start out as… 起初擔任...•transition into… 轉變到...我很幸運的在福林德斯大學（Flinders University）找到工作，起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師，但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍，並努力完成我的牙醫學位。★★★★★★★★★★★★Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did. •retrain 重新培養；再培訓；再訓練•to this day 至今•first generation migrants 第一代移民•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆我的母親最終重新接受培訓，成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民，她掙扎奮鬥許久，並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子，我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。★★★★★★★★★★★★Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldnt really want to change that to have a smoother life. •inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見 https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去，我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。★★★★★★★★★★★★Over the years, Ive learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that theres not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.•over the years 多年來•perseverance 不屈不撓，堅持不懈•be an example 成為榜樣•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)多年來，我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事，能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣：向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。有興趣的同學可以支持New Humans of Australia www.patreon.com/newhumansofaustraliaPhotographer: Paul Heinrich instagram.com/paulfheinrich文章與圖片出處: https://bit.ly/2XJsciq★★★★★★★★★★★★翻轉視界: http://bit.ly/3fPvKUs 批判性思考問題大全: http://bit.ly/34rdtJ7

【#拜登就職演說全文】★中英版本★  資料來源：美國白宮新聞稿This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day.A day of history and hope. Of renewal and resolve.Through a crucible for the ages America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge.Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy.The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.We have learned again that democracy is precious.Democracy is fragile.And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.So now, on this hallowed ground where just days ago violence sought to shake this Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries.We look ahead in our uniquely American way – restless, bold, optimistic – and set our sights on the nation we know we can be and we must be.I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence here.I thank them from the bottom of my heart.You know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength of our nation.As does President Carter, who I spoke to last night but who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime of service.I have just taken the sacred oath each of these patriots took — an oath first sworn by George Washington.But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us.On “We the People” who seek a more perfect Union.This is a great nation and we are a good people.Over the centuries through storm and strife, in peace and in war, we have come so far. But we still have far to go.We will press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and possibility.Much to repair.Much to restore.Much to heal.Much to build.And much to gain.Few periods in our nation’s history have been more challenging or difficult than the one we’re in now.A once-in-a-century virus silently stalks the country.It’s taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of World War II.Millions of jobs have been lost.Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.A cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer.A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear.And now, a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:Unity.Unity.In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.When he put pen to paper, the President said, “If my name ever goes down into history it will be for this act and my whole soul is in it.”My whole soul is in it.Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:Bringing America together.Uniting our people.And uniting our nation.I ask every American to join me in this cause.Uniting to fight the common foes we face:Anger, resentment, hatred.Extremism, lawlessness, violence.Disease, joblessness, hopelessness.With unity we can do great things. Important things.We can right wrongs.We can put people to work in good jobs.We can teach our children in safe schools.We can overcome this deadly virus.We can reward work, rebuild the middle class, and make health caresecure for all.We can deliver racial justice.We can make America, once again, the leading force for good in the world.I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy.I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real.But I also know they are not new.Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, and demonization have long torn us apart.The battle is perennial.Victory is never assured.Through the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War, 9/11, through struggle, sacrifice, and setbacks, our “better angels” have always prevailed.In each of these moments, enough of us came together to carry all of us forward.And, we can do so now.History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity.We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors.We can treat each other with dignity and respect.We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature.For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.No progress, only exhausting outrage.No nation, only a state of chaos.This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward.And, we must meet this moment as the United States of America.If we do that, I guarantee you, we will not fail.We have never, ever, ever failed in America when we have acted together.And so today, at this time and in this place, let us start afresh.All of us.Let us listen to one another.Hear one another.See one another.Show respect to one another.Politics need not 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 a culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this.America has to be better than this.And, I believe America is better than this.Just look around.Here we stand, in the shadow of a Capitol dome that was completed amid the Civil War, when the Union itself hung in the balance.Yet we endured and we prevailed.Here we stand looking out to the great Mall where Dr. King spoke of his dream.Here we stand, where 108 years ago at another inaugural, thousands of protestors tried to block brave women from marching for the right to vote.Today, we mark the swearing-in of the first woman in American history elected to national office – Vice President Kamala Harris.Don’t tell me things can’t change.Here we stand across the Potomac from Arlington National Cemetery, where heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion rest in eternal peace.And here we stand, just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, and to drive us from this sacred ground.That did not happen.It will never happen.Not today.Not tomorrow.Not ever.To all those who supported our campaign I am humbled by the faith you have placed in us.To all those who did not support us, let me say this: Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart.And if you still disagree, so be it.That’s democracy. That’s America. The right to dissent peaceably, within the guardrails of our Republic, is perhaps our nation’s greatest strength.Yet hear me clearly: Disagreement must not lead to disunion.And I pledge this to you: I will be a President for all Americans.I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.Many centuries ago, Saint Augustine, a saint of my church, wrote that a people was a multitude defined by the common objects of their love.What are the common objects we love that define us as Americans?I think I know.Opportunity.Security.Liberty.Dignity.Respect.Honor.And, yes, the truth.Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson.There is truth and there are lies.Lies told for power and for profit.And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders – leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.I understand that many Americans view the future with some fear and trepidation.I understand they worry about their jobs, about taking care of their families, about what comes next.I get it.But the answer is not to turn inward, to retreat into competing factions, distrusting those who don’t look like you do, or worship the way you do, or don’t get their news from the same sources you do.We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.If we show a little tolerance and humility.If we’re willing to stand in the other person’s shoes just for a moment.Because here is the thing about life: There is no accounting for what fate will deal you.There are some days when we need a hand.There are other days when we’re called on to lend one.That is how we must be with one another.And, if we are this way, our country will be stronger, more prosperous, more ready for the future.My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we will need each other.We will need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter.We are entering what may well be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus.We must set aside the politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation.I promise you this: as the Bible says weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.We will get through this, togetherThe 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 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 to remember all those we lost this past year to the pandemic.To those 400,000 fellow Americans – mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, 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.This is a time of testing.We face an attack on democracy and on truth.A raging virus.Growing inequity.The sting of systemic racism.A climate in crisis.America’s role in the world.Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways.But the fact is we face them all at once, presenting this nation with the gravest of responsibilities.Now we must step up.All of us.It is a time for boldness, for there is so much to do.And, this is certain.We will be judged, you and I, for how we resolve the cascading crises of our era.Will we rise to the occasion?Will we master this rare and difficult hour?Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world for our children?I believe we must and I believe we will.And when we do, we will write the next chapter in the American story.It’s a story that might sound something like a song that means a lot to me.It’s called “American Anthem” and there is one verse stands out for me:“The work and prayersof centuries have brought us to this dayWhat shall be our legacy?What will our children say?…Let me know in my heartWhen my days are throughAmericaAmericaI gave my best to you.”Let us add our own work and prayers to the unfolding story of our nation.If we do this then when our days are through our children and our children’s children will say of us they gave their best.They did their duty.They healed a broken land.My fellow Americans, I close today where I began, with a sacred oath.Before God and all of you I give you my word.I will always level with you.I will defend the Constitution.I will defend our democracy.I will defend America.I will give my all in your service thinking not of power, but of possibilities.Not of personal interest, but of the public good.And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.Of unity, not division.Of light, not darkness.An American story of decency and dignity.Of love and of healing.Of greatness and of goodness.May this be the story that guides us.The story that inspires us.The story that tells ages yet to come that we answered the call of history.We met the moment.That democracy and hope, truth and justice, did not die on our watch but thrived.That our America secured liberty at home and stood once again as a beacon to the world.That is what we owe our forebearers, one another, and generations to follow.So, with purpose and resolve we turn to the tasks of our time.Sustained by faith.Driven by conviction.And, devoted to one another and to this country we love with all our hearts.May God bless America and may God protect our troops.Thank you, America.-------★

Carter）也是，我昨晚與他通了電話，但他不克前來。我們為他畢生的奉獻向他致敬。我剛才跟這幾位愛國者一樣鄭重宣誓，一篇最初由華盛頓宣讀的誓詞。然而，美國故事靠的不是我們任何一個人，或一部分人，而是我們全體。它靠的是「我們人民」，在尋求一個更好的合眾國的人民。這是個偉大的國家，我們是一群良善的人。經歷過去幾個世紀的風雨和衝突、和平與戰爭，我們走過很長一段路，但前方還有很長一段路要走。我們將快速緊急前行，因為在這個危險與機會的冬天，我們有很多事要做。有很多需要修補、需要恢復、需要癒合。有許多需要建設，也可以有很多收穫。在我國歷史上，很少人或很少時刻面臨著比我們目前更大的挑戰或困難。百年一見、無聲無息蔓延整個國家的病毒，在一年之內奪走的人命，跟美國在第二次世界大戰犧牲的總人數一樣多。數百萬工作機會流失，成千上萬企業關門。400年來的種族正義的呼聲感動著我們，全民同享公義的夢想將不再拖後。地球生存的呼聲再急迫不過，也再清楚不過。如今政治極端主義、白人至上主義和本土恐怖主義的興起，讓我們有必要起來面對並將它們擊倒。克服這些挑戰、恢復美國靈魂和鞏固未來需要的不只是話語，而是民主當中最難以捉摸的部分，那就是團結一心，團結一心。另一個一月天，在1863年開年之時，林肯總統簽署解放奴隸宣言。讓我引述他在下筆時所說的話：「如果我留名青史，將會是因為這份宣言，以及我投注其中的全心全意。」今天，同樣在一月裡，我全心全意投注於此：團結全體國人，團結整個國家。我請求所有美國人加入，和我一起努力，團結對抗我們共同的敵人：怨氣、不滿、仇恨、極端主義、目無法紀的行為、暴力、疾病、失業和無助。團結一心，我們能夠成就偉大事業、重要的事情。我們可以糾正錯誤，可以讓民眾找到好的工作，可以在安全的校園教導孩子，可以克服這個致命的病毒。我們可以讓工作獲得報酬，重建中產階級，可以提供全民健保，可以兌現種族正義，讓美國再次成為世界主要的良善力量。我明白，這個時候談論團結聽起來像愚昧的天方夜譚，我知道分裂我們的力量又深又真切，但我也知道這些力量不是現在才出現。美國向來在人人平等這個理想，和國家長期被種族主義、本土主義、恐懼和妖魔化分化的醜陋現實之間掙扎。這個征戰從未止息，勝利並無保證。從南北戰爭、大蕭條、世界大戰到911恐攻，儘管歷經奮鬥、犧牲和挫折，良善的天使向來都會勝利。每當遇到這種時刻，我們都會有足夠的人團結一心，讓全國一起向前，我們現在也可以這麼做。歷史、信仰和理性指向一條明路，一條團結之路。我們可以不把彼此當成敵人，而是鄰居。我們可以尊嚴和尊重彼此相待，可以同心協力，停止叫囂，讓溫度冷卻。因為沒有團結就沒有和平，只會留下苦毒與憤怒；不會有進步，只會有讓人厭倦的離譜言行；不會有國家，只會有混亂狀態。這是我們危機和挑戰的歷史性一刻，而團結是前進的道路，我們必須以合眾國的姿態來面對這一刻，若能做到，我向諸位保證我們不會失敗。當我們團結起來，我們從來就不曾失敗，因此在這一天，在此時此刻，就在這裡，讓我們重新來過，全體一起來。讓我們開始再次彼此聆聽，讓對方說，相互探望，對彼表達尊重。政治不必像這一團熊熊之火，燒毀一切，歧見不必成為全面戰爭的理由。我們必須摒棄操弄甚至捏造事實的文化，同胞們，我們不能這樣，美國必須不只是這個樣子，而且我相信美國不至淪落至此。看看四周，我們站在國會大廈圓頂之下，這是南北戰爭時期完成的，當時美國的前途還在未定之天，但我們挺過來了，我們勝利了。我們現在站在此，看著偉大的國家廣場，金恩博士（Martin Luther King Jr.）曾對廣場上的群眾訴說他的夢想。也是在這裡，108年前的另一場就職典禮，數以千計的抗議人士試圖阻撓一群勇敢的婦女遊行爭取投票權。今天我們見證副總統賀錦麗創造美國歷史，成為第一位擔任國家領導人的女性，別告訴我事情無法改變。我們站在這裡，隔著波多馬克河（Potomac River）遠眺阿靈頓國家公墓（Arlington National Cemetery），也就是為國捐軀的英雄長眠之地。我們站在這裡，不過幾天前，暴動的群眾以為他們可用暴力箝制民眾的意志，阻撓民主運作，把我們驅逐出這塊聖地。但事情未如他們所願，今天不會，明天也不會，永遠都不會。每位支持我們參選的民眾，我因你們給予我們的信心感到謙卑。對於沒有支持我們的人，讓我對你們說：未來請聽我說的話，評量我和我的心。如果你們還是不同意，也罷。這就是民主。這就是美國。以平和的方式在我們國家的規範之內表達異議的權利，可能是我國最大的優勢。但請聽清楚：不同意見絕對不能變成不團結。而且我向各位保證，我要當全體國人的總統。不論你支持我或不支持我，我都將同樣為你們而努力。好幾個世紀之前，我所屬教會的聖者聖奧古斯丁（Saint Augustine）曾經寫道，人民是個群體，由他們共同喜愛的東西所定義。身為美國人，我們共同喜愛而且能定義我們的東西是什麼？我想我們都知道：機會、安定、自由、尊嚴、尊重、榮譽，是的，還有真相。最近的幾個星期、幾個月給了我們痛苦的教訓：有真相，也有謊言，為了權力和利益而說的謊言。我們每個人做為公民，做為美國人，特別是身為領導者的人，曾經承諾要遵守憲法、保護我們的國家的領導者，有職責、有責任要捍衛真相、打敗謊言。我瞭解有許多同胞以害怕、惶恐的心情看待未來。我瞭解他們擔心工作問題。我瞭解他們像我父親那樣，夜裡躺在床上盯著天花板，想著得要有醫療保險、有貸款要付、想著他們的家庭，想著接下來會如何。我跟各位保證，我瞭解。但答案不是退縮，不是進入到彼此競爭的派系，不信任看起來跟你不一樣的人，跟你有不同信仰的人，或者新聞來源不同於你的人。我們必須結束這場「無禮的戰爭」，它讓紅藍對立、鄉村與都市的民眾對立、保守派與自由派對立。我們可以做到，如果我們敞開心胸，而不是讓我們的心變硬，如果我們展現一些包容和謙虛，如果我們願意為別人設想，就像我母親說的：只要一下子就好，為別人設想。因為人生就是這樣，你無法預知命運。有些時候，你會需要別人伸出援手，還有些時候，人家會請你伸出援手。就是要這樣，這就是我們為彼此做的事。如果我們這麼做，我們的國家就會更強大、更繁榮，更能為未來做好準備，而且我們還是可以有不同意見。同胞們，我們在推動未來的工作時，會需要彼此。我們要集舉國之力，才能度過這個黑暗的冬天。我們可能在進入疫情最嚴重、最致命的階段。我們必須把政治擺在一邊，要終於能夠舉國對抗這個大流行，用舉國之力。我向各位保證，就如聖經所說：「一宿雖有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。」我們將可一起度過，一起！各位，我跟我在參眾兩院的同事們都瞭解，世人正在觀看，他們今天在看著我們，因此這是我要對國外傳達的訊息：美國受到試煉，而我們因此更為茁壯。我們將修補我們與盟國的關係，再次與世界往來，不是為了面對昨天的挑戰，而是今天和明天的挑戰。我們將不是藉著我們力量的典範來領導，而是憑藉我們典範的力量。我們將會是和平、進步與安定堅強而且可信賴的夥伴。各位都知道，我們國家經歷了許多事情。我做為總統要做的第一件事，是要請你們跟我一起，為過去一年因疫情喪生的人們默禱，紀念那40萬個同胞，母親、父親、丈夫、妻子、兒子、女兒、朋友、鄰居和同事們。我們要成為我們自知可以成為、而且應該成為的人民和國家，以此榮耀他們。因此我請大家，一起為離世和失去親友的人們，還有我們的國家默禱，……阿們。各位，這是試煉的時刻。我們面對對民主與真相的攻擊、正在肆虐的病毒、嚴重的不公、系統性的種族歧視、陷入危機的氣候，還有美國在全球的角色問題。其中任何一點都足以對我們構成嚴重的挑戰。但事實是，我們在同時面對這一切，這讓美國挑起我們最重大的責任之一。我們將受到試煉，我們能迎接挑戰嗎？這是大膽的時候，因為有好多事情要做。而我向各位保證，這點是肯定的：你我將被評判，標準是我們如何解決這個時代一一發生的危機。我們將迎接挑戰。我們能否戰勝這個罕見而艱難的時刻？我們能否履行我們的義務，把一個新的、更好的世界傳給我們的下一代？我相信我們必須那麼做，而且我相信你們也這麼認為。我相信我們會，而且當我們做到，我們將寫下美國歷史偉大的新章節。美國的故事。這個故事可能像一首對我來說深具意義的歌曲，它叫「美國頌」（American Anthem），它有一段歌詞至少對我來說很特別，它是這樣說的：「數百年的努力與祈禱讓我們來到今天，我們有什麼能傳承下去？我們的子孫會怎麼說？當我的日子結束，讓我內心知曉，美國，美國，我已為你付出最大努力。」讓我們把我們自己的努力和祈禱，加到我們偉大的國家仍在發展的故事之中。如果我們做到，那麼當我們的日子結束，我們的子孫和他們的子孫會說：「他們付出了最大的努力，他們盡了他們的責任，他們修補了破碎的國家。」同胞們，我的結語要跟開頭一樣，有個神聖的誓言。在上帝和各位面前，我向你們保證。我將始終開誠布公，我將捍衛憲法，我將捍衛我們的民主。我將捍衛美國，全心全力奉獻為你們服務，心中想的不是權力，而是可能性，不是私利，而是公眾的利益。我們將一起寫下美國希望的故事，而非恐懼的故事，是團結而非分歧，是光明而非黑暗。是禮貌與尊嚴、愛與療癒、偉大與善良的故事。希望這是引導我們的故事、啟發我們的故事，是能告訴未來的世世代代我們回應歷史的召喚並且回應了時代挑戰的故事。民主與希望、真相與公義沒有在我們的時代衰亡，而是生生不息，美國固守了國內的自由，並且再次成為世界的明燈。這是我們對先人、對彼此和對未來世世代代的責任。因此，我們要有目標、有決心，把注意力轉向這個時代的任務，靠信心來維持，靠信念來驅使，為彼此和我們全心熱愛的國家而奉獻。願上帝保佑美國，保守我們的三軍。謝謝美國！
