Bush’s Inaugural Address 乔治-W-布什就任第43任美国总统的演讲 January 20, 2001 英汉对照 Following one of the most controversial presidential elections in United States history, newly elected president George W. Bush gave the following inaugural address on January 20, 2001, in Washington, D.C.

With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings. As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.
