“I am certain that my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our Nation impels. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly.Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So,first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.“ $ U. |2 y0 J; B6 V3 ^5 W3 ~" Z/ itvb now,tvbnow,bttvb4 [9 q: |.

「我堅信國人期盼我於總統任內闡釋美國何去何從的決定。這是關鍵時刻,我們應道出事實,坦率、勇敢討論整個事情,瞭然面對美國今日情狀,毋須退縮。這個偉大的國家將會一如以往堅持不懈,由此蘇醒繁榮。職是之故,我先須堅信,我們唯一要恐懼的就是恐懼本身。無以名狀的、未具理由的、不值一哂的恐慌會癱瘓我們的力量,在本當邁步前越之時踟躕不前。」 $ `' b7 d& J! z9 E. w9 n& k) U1 V( B! n& ]) Y, P
; C* Q1 ~3 R2 Ptvb now,tvbnow,bttvb一九三三年三月四日,也就是距離今天差不多八十一年前,小羅斯福(下圖)在總統就職禮開始讀出一千八百八十字的演說,這是全文首段。那是風雨飄搖晦暗不明的歲月,美國經濟正值大蕭條深坑幽谷,二百萬人無家可歸,泰半工廠倒閉;歐洲的德國蠢蠢欲動,東方的日本軍國主義者兩年前剛發動「九一八」事變,就在此時,這個患有小兒麻痺症的民主黨人入主白宮。此後的事都載於史冊,如西語所云the rest is history。歲月雲煙,歷史塗刷,留在人心的是「我們唯一要恐懼的就是恐懼本身」(the only thing we have to fear is fear itself),其餘毋庸一一贅述。+ b5 m5 O9 u0 \
