演講全文：

My fellow Americans,

I'm joining you today from the deck of what will be our Nation's newest aircraft carrier, the soon-to-be commissioned Gerald R. Ford, and as you can see, I’m wearing a jacket and a hat that they just gave me. Not really used to it, but it feels awfully good – I’m very proud of it actually.

Our carriers are the centerpiece of American military might, projecting power and our totally unparalleled strength at sea.

This beautiful new warship represents the future of naval aviation, and she will serve as a cornerstone of our national defense for decades and decades to come.

A famous aviator once wrote that, to build a truly great ship, we shouldn't begin by gathering wood, cutting boards, or distributing work, but instead by awakening within the people a “desire for the vast and endless sea.” So true.

In the same way, we must continue to renew the American spirit in order to rebuild our country, and rebuild it we will.

On Tuesday, before a Joint Session [of] Congress, I laid out a vision – I hope you all watched – for how to accomplish that national rebuilding.

My vision includes the elimination of the defense sequester, which has imposed steep cuts on our military.

We must give our sailors, soldiers, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen the tools, equipment, resources and training they need to get the job done, and get it done right - especially in these very dangerous times.

The active duty Army has been reduced by more than 85,000 men since 2009, and we have over 18,000 fewer active duty marines.

The Air Force, it’s the smallest it has been since 1947, and their planes are, on average, nearly thirty years old, if you can believe that.

Our Navy's fleet is the smallest it has been since World War I, and that’s a long time ago.

Frontline Navy and Marine strike fighter aircraft are more likely to be down for maintenance than to be in the sky.

We cannot afford to continue down this path.  My budget will give America's armed forces the resources they need to achieve full and total military preparedness to meet any and all global challenges – and meet them, we will.

Investing in the military means investing in peace - because the best way to prevent war, as George Washington said, is to be prepared for it.

Most importantly, an investment in the military is an investment in the incredible men and women who serve our country in uniform.  They are the best of us.  They are the greatest force for peace and justice the world has ever known - and we will support them every single step of the way.

These are truly exciting times.  Amazing opportunities are unfolding before us - to strengthen our military, to reboot our economy, and to bring back our jobs.  If we all work together, and put our country first, then anything is possible.  Let us seize this moment and make the most of this incredible opportunity for national renewal.

May God bless the men and women of our military, and may God bless the United States of America, the country we love.

美國總統(tǒng)唐納德?特朗普每周電臺演講

2017年3月3日

美國同胞們，

我今天從即將啟用的美國最新航空母艦杰拉爾德?R?福特號參觀回來，給你們發(fā)表此番演講。正如你們所見，我穿戴著他們剛送給我的夾克和帽子。我還不太習(xí)慣這般裝束，但感覺太棒了——我確實為此感到驕傲。

航空母艦是美國軍事力量的中心，它們展示了我們在海面上無可匹敵的力量和能力。

這艘漂亮的戰(zhàn)艦代表海軍防空兵的未來，她將成為未來幾十年我們國家防衛(wèi)的基石。

一位著名的飛行家曾經(jīng)寫過：建造一座真正偉大的艦船，第一步不是收集木頭、切割木板或分配任務(wù)，而是喚醒人們內(nèi)心對廣闊無邊的海洋的渴望。太對了。

同理，我們必須繼續(xù)恢復(fù)美國精神，重建我們的國家。我們會重建好它。

周二，我在國會聯(lián)席會議上展示如何完成國家重建的愿景。我希望你們觀看了國會演講。

我的愿景包括終止國防預(yù)算削減，這種削減已經(jīng)使得我們軍費大減。

我們必須給予我們的海員、士兵、空軍、海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊以及海岸警衛(wèi)隊工作所需的工具、設(shè)備、資源和培訓(xùn)，并把工作做好——尤其是在非常危險的時候。

2009年以來，我們的現(xiàn)役陸軍隊員減少了85000名，現(xiàn)役海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊員少了18000多名。

我們的空軍規(guī)模縮至1947年以來的最小，飛機平均機齡接近30年。很難想象吧。

我們的海軍艦隊規(guī)模達到一戰(zhàn)以來的最低水平。一戰(zhàn)已經(jīng)是很久前的事情。

前線海軍和海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊攻擊戰(zhàn)斗機都快要進到維修廠，而不是在天空翱翔。

我們在這條道路上走不下去。我的預(yù)算將給予美國軍隊獲得完全軍事防備所需的資源，從應(yīng)對一切全球挑戰(zhàn)。我們會戰(zhàn)勝這些挑戰(zhàn)。

投資軍事就是投資和平。就像喬治?華盛頓所說的，防止戰(zhàn)爭最好的方式是為戰(zhàn)爭做好準備。

最重要的是，投資軍事等同于投資為我國服役的了不起的軍人。他們是我們中最杰出的一群人。他們是世界上最偉大的和平和正義力量，我們會在前進路上的每一步為他們提供支持。

現(xiàn)在是真正激動人心的時代。不可思議的機遇在我們面前展開——強大我們的軍隊、重振我們的經(jīng)濟，把工作找回來。如果我們齊心協(xié)力，把我們的國家放在第一位，那么一切皆有可能。讓我們抓住時機，從國家復(fù)興這一偉大機遇中收獲最多。

上帝保佑我們的軍人，上帝保佑我們所愛的美利堅合眾國。
