演讲全文：

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.

美国总统唐纳德•特朗普每周电台演讲

2017年3月3日

美国同胞们，

我今天从即将启用的美国最新航空母舰杰拉尔德•R•福特号参观回来，给你们发表此番演讲。正如你们所见，我穿戴着他们刚送给我的夹克和帽子。我还不太习惯这般装束，但感觉太棒了——我确实为此感到骄傲。

航空母舰是美国军事力量的中心，它们展示了我们在海面上无可匹敌的力量和能力。

这艘漂亮的战舰代表海军防空兵的未来，她将成为未来几十年我们国家防卫的基石。

一位著名的飞行家曾经写过：建造一座真正伟大的舰船，第一步不是收集木头、切割木板或分配任务，而是唤醒人们内心对广阔无边的海洋的渴望。太对了。

同理，我们必须继续恢复美国精神，重建我们的国家。我们会重建好它。

周二，我在国会联席会议上展示如何完成国家重建的愿景。我希望你们观看了国会演讲。

我的愿景包括终止国防预算削减，这种削减已经使得我们军费大减。

我们必须给予我们的海员、士兵、空军、海军陆战队以及海岸警卫队工作所需的工具、设备、资源和培训，并把工作做好——尤其是在非常危险的时候。

2009年以来，我们的现役陆军队员减少了85000名，现役海军陆战队员少了18000多名。

我们的空军规模缩至1947年以来的最小，飞机平均机龄接近30年。很难想象吧。

我们的海军舰队规模达到一战以来的最低水平。一战已经是很久前的事情。

前线海军和海军陆战队攻击战斗机都快要进到维修厂，而不是在天空翱翔。

我们在这条道路上走不下去。我的预算将给予美国军队获得完全军事防备所需的资源，从应对一切全球挑战。我们会战胜这些挑战。

投资军事就是投资和平。就像乔治•华盛顿所说的，防止战争最好的方式是为战争做好准备。

最重要的是，投资军事等同于投资为我国服役的了不起的军人。他们是我们中最杰出的一群人。他们是世界上最伟大的和平和正义力量，我们会在前进路上的每一步为他们提供支持。

现在是真正激动人心的时代。不可思议的机遇在我们面前展开——强大我们的军队、重振我们的经济，把工作找回来。如果我们齐心协力，把我们的国家放在第一位，那么一切皆有可能。让我们抓住时机，从国家复兴这一伟大机遇中收获最多。

上帝保佑我们的军人，上帝保佑我们所爱的美利坚合众国。
