Farewell
Address
布什告別演說
George
Walker
Bush/喬治·沃克·布什
Fellow
citizens:
For
eight
years,it
has
been
my
honor
to
serve
as
your
President.
The
first
decade
of
this
new
century
has
been
a
period
of
consequence-a
time
set
apart.
Tonight,with
a
thankful
heart,I
have
asked
for
a
final
opportunity
to
share
some
thoughts
on
the
journey
we
have
traveled
together
and
the
future
of
our
Nation.
Five
days
from
now,the
world
will
witness
the
vitality
of
American
democracy.
In
a
tradition
dating
back
to
our
founding,the
presidency
will
pass
to
a
successor
chosen
by
you,the
American
people.
Standing
on
the
steps
of
the
Capitol
will
be
a
man
whose
story
reflects
the
enduring
promise
of
our
land.
This
is
a
moment
of
hope
and
pride
for
our
whole
Nation.
And
I
join
all
Americans
in
offering
best
wishes
to
President-elect
Obama,his
wife
Michelle,and
their
two
beautiful
girls.
Tonight
I
am
filled
with
gratitude-to
Vice
President
Cheney
and
members
of
the
Administration;to
Laura,who
brought
joy
to
this
house
and
love
to
my
life;to
our
wonderful
daughters,Barbara
and
Jenna;to
my
parents,whose
examples
have
provided
strength
for
a
lifetime.
And
above
all,I
thank
the
American
people
for
the
trust
you
have
given
me.
I
