  THE PRESIDENT: From Scripture, we learn of the miracle of restoration. “You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again. From the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.”

  总统:我们从圣经的经文中领悟到重生的奇迹。 “你是叫我们多经历重大急难的,必使我们复活,从地的深处救上来,求你使我越发昌大,又转来安慰我。”

  Secretary Hagel, General Dempsey, members of our Armed Forces and most of all, the survivors who bear the wounds of that day and the families of those we lost, it is an honor to be with you here again to remember the tragedy of twelve Septembers ago -- to honor the greatness of all who responded and to stand with those who still grieve and to provide them some measure of comfort once more. Together we pause and we pray and we give humble thanks -- as families and as a nation -- for the strength and the grace that from the depths of our despair has brought us up again, has revived us again, has given us strength to keep on.

  国防部长哈格尔、登普西将军、我国武装部队成员,最重要的是,饱含那一日伤痛的幸存者以及遇难者家属,我有幸与你们一起再一次回顾12年前的那场悲剧,纪念全体有关人员的伟大精神,他们纷纷参加抢救工作,支持那些至今仍然悲不自胜的人们,再一次给他们一些慰藉。我们一起静默片刻,我们一起祈祷。我们作为一个个家庭、作为一个国家,一起谦卑地感谢我们获得的力量和恩典,使我们再一次从深度绝望中得到拯救,使我们再一次重振旗鼓,给予我们继续蹈厉奋发的力量。

  We pray for the memory of all those taken from us -- nearly 3,000 innocent souls. Our hearts still ache for the futures snatched away, the lives that might have been -- the parents who would have known the joy of being grandparents, the fathers and mothers who would have known the pride of a child’s graduation, the sons and daughters who would have grown, maybe married and been blessed with children of their own. Those beautiful boys and girls just beginning to find their way who today would have been teenagers and young men and women looking ahead, imagining the mark they’d make on the world.

  我们为从我们身边被夺走的生命祈祷——近3,000名无辜的亡灵。我们的心依然悲痛,因为他们的未来被无情地掠去,原来应该享有的生活被扼杀——作为祖父母,本应享受子孙绕膝之乐;作为父母,本应看到儿女毕业感到自豪;作为儿女,本应长大成人,也可能结婚并生儿育女;那些奔向花样年华的漂亮的男孩和女孩,本应成长为今天的翩翩少年或青春少女;那些年轻的男男女女本应憧憬着未来,想象着他们将给这个世界留下什么样的印记。

  They left this Earth. They slipped from our grasp. But it was written, “What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.” What your families lost in the temporal, in the here and now, is now eternal. The pride that you carry in your hearts, the love that will never die, your loved ones’ everlasting place in America’s heart.

  他们离开了这个世界。他们从我们的手中被夺走。但有人曾这样写道:“心中珍惜和挚爱的东西永远不会丢失。”你们的家庭暂时失去的,此时此刻已永世长存。你们心中承载的骄傲、永不消逝的爱、你们所爱的人永远活在美国的心中。

  We pray for you, their families, who have known the awful depths of loss. And in the quiet moments we have spent together and from the stories that you’ve shared, I’m amazed at the will that you’ve summoned in your lives to lift yourselves up and to carry on, and to live and love and laugh again.

  我们为你们祈祷,为他们的家人祈祷,你们深深体会到失去亲人的无限伤悲。在我们共同静默的时刻,通过你们讲述的故事,我感慨万分,你们在日常生活中表现了坚强意志,精神抖擞,兴微继绝;你们继续人生之路,重施仁爱,再展欢颜。
