Americans deserve better， and in this city today， there are people who want to do better. And so I say to all of us here， let us resolve to reform our politics， so that power and privilege no longer shout down the voice of the people.Let us put aside personal advantage so that we can feel the pain and see the promise of America.Let us resolve to make our government a place for what Franklin Roosevelt called“bold， persistent experimentation，”a government for our tomorrows， not our yesterdays.Let us give this capital back to the people to whom it belongs.
To renew America， we must meet challenges abroad as well as at home. There is no longer division between what is foreign and what is domestic；the world economy， the world environment， the world AIDS crisis， the world arms race；they affect us all.

Today， as an old order passes， the new world is more free but less stable.Communism"s collapse has called forth old animosities and new dangers.Clearly America must continue to lead the world we did so much to make.
While America rebuilds at home， we will not shrink from the challenges， nor fail to seize the opportunities， of this new world. Together with our friends and allies， we will work to shape change， lest it engulf us.
AWhen our vital interests are challenged， or the will and conscience of the international community is defied， we will act；with peaceful diplomacy whenever possible， with force when necessary. BThe brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf， in Somalia， and wherever else they stand are testament to our resolve.
But our greatest strength is the power of our ideas， which are still new in many lands. Across the world， we see them embraced， and we rejoice.Our hopes， our hearts， our hands， are with those on every continent who are building democracy and *******.Their cause is America"s cause.
The American people have summoned the change we celebrate today. CYou have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus.You have cast your votes in historic numbers.And you have changed the face of Congress， the presidency and the political process itself.Yes， you， my fellow Americans have forced the spring.Now， we must do the work the season demands.
To that work I now turn， with all the authority of my office. I ask the Congress to join with me.But no president， no Congress， no government， can undertake this mission alone.My fellow Americans， you， too， must play your part in our renewal.I challenge a new generation of young Americans to a season of service；to act on your idealism by helping troubled children， keeping company with those in need， reconnecting our torn communities.There is so much to be done；enough indeed for millions of others who are still young in spirit to give of themselves in service， too.
And so， my fellow Americans， at the edge of the 21st century， let us begin with energy and hope， with faith and discipline， and let us work until our work is done. The Scripture says，“And let us not be weary in well-doing， for in due season， we shall reap， if we faint not.”

ATogether with our friends and allies， we will work to shape change， lest it engulf us.
我们将同盟友一起努力进行变革，以免被变革所吞没。
Iest 意为“以免”，后加句子时应用虚拟语气should 可以省略。本句是Lest it should engulf us，句中的should省略了。
BThe brave Americans serving our nation today in the Persian Gulf， in Somalia， and wherever else they stand are testament to our resolve.
今天，在波斯湾、索马里和任何其他地方为国效力的勇敢的美国人，都证明了我们的决心。
本句的主句是The brave Americans are testament to our resolve.serving our nation……they stand 是现在分词短语做后置定语修饰Americans。
CYou have raised your voices in an unmistakable chorus.
你们毫不含糊地齐声疾呼。
raise是及物动词，一般是人为地让事物升高，例如举起胳膊，提高薪水等。rise 则是不及物动词，一般是事物自身升高，上升，例如太阳上升和河水上涨等。

We have a place， all of us， in a long story—a story we continue， but whose end we will not see.AIt is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old， a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of *******， the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess， to defend but not to conquer.
It is the American story—a story of flawed and fallible people， united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals. The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs， that everyone deserves a chance， that no insignificant person was ever born.
