我們唯一害怕的是害怕本身
富蘭克林·羅斯福是美國第32任總統，也美國曆史上唯一連任超過兩屆的總統。今天小編截取的是羅斯福就任總統的演講中關於施政方針部分的內容，一起來看一下吧。
Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This nation is asking for action, and action now.
但是，復興不僅僅只要改變倫理觀念。這個國家要求行動起來，現在就行動起來。
Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we take it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our great natural resources.
我們最大、最基本的任務是讓人民投入工作。只要我信行之以智慧和勇氣，這個問題就可以解決。這可以部分由政府直接徵募完成，就象對待臨戰的緊要關頭一樣，但同時，在有了人手的情況下，我們還急需能刺激並重組巨大自然資源的工程。
Hand in hand with that, we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution in an effort to provide better use of the land for those best fitted for the land.
我們齊心協力，但必須坦白地承認工業中心的人口失衡，我們必須在全國範圍內重新分配，使土地在最適合的人手中發表揮更大作用。
Yes the task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the value of the agricultural product and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities. It can be helped by preventing realistically, the tragedy of the growing losses through fore closures of our small homes and our farms. It can be helped by insistence that the federal, the state, and the local government act forthwith on the demands that their costs be drastically reduce. It can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered, uneconomical, unequal. It can be helped by national planning for, and supervision of all forms of transportation, and of communications, and other utilities that have a definitely public character. There are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped by merely talking about it. We must act, we must act quickly.
明確地爲提高農產品價值並以此購買城市產品所做的努力，會有助於任務的完成。避免許多小家庭業、農場業被取消贖取抵押品的權利的悲劇也有助於任務的完成。聯邦、州、各地政府立即行動迴應要求降價的呼聲，有助於任務的完成。將現在常常是分散不經濟、不平等的救濟活動統一起來有助於任務的完成。對所有公共交通運輸，通訊及其他涉及公衆生活的設施作全國性的計劃及監督有助於任務的完成。許多事情都有助於任務完成，但這些決不包括空談。我們必須行動，立即行動。
And finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work, we require two safeguards against the return of the evils of the old order; there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people’s money; and there must be provisions for an adequate but sound currency.
最後，爲了重新開始工作，我們需要兩手防禦，來抗禦舊秩序惡魔捲土從來；一定要有嚴格監督銀行業、信貸及投資的機制：一定要杜絕投機；一定要有充足而健康的貨幣供應。
These, my friends, are the lines of attack. I shall presently urge upon a new Congress in special session, detailed measures for their fulfillment, and I shall seek the immediate assistance of the 48 states.
以上這些，朋友們，就是施政方針。我要在特別會議上敦促新國會給予詳細實施方案，並且，我要向18個州請求立即的援助。
在1930年代經濟大蕭條期間，羅斯福推行新政以提供失業救濟復甦經濟，併成立衆多機構來改革經濟和銀行體系，從經濟危機的深淵中挽救了美國，這是美國曆史上一位偉大的總統。
