1944年6月6日 美國總統(tǒng)羅斯福為諾曼底登陸發(fā)表了《此刻我們唯有祈禱》(原名Let Our Hearts Be Stout) 《使命召喚：二戰(zhàn)》的預(yù)告片中便使用了此段演講原音

My Fellow Americans:

我的美國同胞們：

Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment the troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far.

昨天晚上，我同你談?wù)撐覀児ハ萘_馬，在那同時(shí)，另一場更重要的行動中，美軍和盟軍正在跨越英吉利海峽。目前這一行動已經(jīng)取得成功。

And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:

因此，在這一揪心的時(shí)刻，我希望你同我一起祈禱：

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

萬能的上帝啊：我們的孩子、祖國的驕傲，這一天傾盡全力，為保護(hù)我們的共和國、我們的信仰、我們的文明，并為終結(jié)人類的苦難而拼命戰(zhàn)斗。

Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.

請為他們指出真誠和正義的方向；給予他們有力的雙臂、勇敢的心靈和堅(jiān)定的信念。

They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.

他們需要您的賜福。他們的道路艱難漫長。因?yàn)樗麄兊臄橙肆α繌?qiáng)大。敵人可能會擊退我們的軍隊(duì)。勝利可能也不會很快到來，但是我們會一戰(zhàn)再戰(zhàn)；我們確信，有您的恩澤，加之我們戰(zhàn)爭的正義性，我們的孩子最終會取得勝利。

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest -- until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.

他們會無休止地日夜奮戰(zhàn)，累到手腳酸痛，直到取得勝利。火炮的火光和轟鳴聲將刺破黑暗。他們的靈魂將因戰(zhàn)爭的暴虐而顫抖。

For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end?the conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and goodwill among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.

因?yàn)樗麄儎倓偯撾x和平的環(huán)境應(yīng)征入伍。他們不是為了征服他國而戰(zhàn)，而是為了終結(jié)納粹統(tǒng)治、解放他國而戰(zhàn)。他們?yōu)樯鞆堈x而戰(zhàn)，并為讓您的每個(gè)子民都能被待以寬容和善良。他們只渴望結(jié)束戰(zhàn)爭，然后回到安樂的家園。

Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.

有些人會永遠(yuǎn)無法歸家。請擁抱他們，天父，并接納您這些英勇的仆人進(jìn)入您的天國。

And for us at home -- fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas, whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them -- help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.

對于留在家中的我們——這些大洋彼岸的勇士們的父親、母親、孩子、妻子、姐妹、兄弟，我們的思緒和祈禱一刻都沒有離開過他們。幫助我們吧，全能的上帝，在這眾志成城、不畏犧牲的時(shí)刻，我們會再次用生命展現(xiàn)對您的信仰。

Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts

許多人都敦促我在某一天舉行一次專門祈禱。但是因?yàn)槲覀円叩穆泛苈L，志向很崇高偉大，因此我要求我國人民能夠不斷地祈禱。我們每開啟新的一天，每結(jié)束舊的一天，都會把祈禱掛在嘴邊，請求上帝能夠幫助我們。

Give us strength, too -- strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.

在我們的日常任務(wù)中也賜予我們力量吧，讓我們對軍隊(duì)的實(shí)際貢獻(xiàn)和物資支援可以成倍增加。

And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.

請讓我們的心靈變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，安然等待這場苦難戰(zhàn)爭的結(jié)束，忍受可能著會到來的悲傷，將我們的勇氣傳遞給我們的孩子，無論他們身在何處。

And, O Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment -- let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.

主啊，請賜予我們信心。賜予我們對您的信心、對我們孩子的信心、對彼此的信心，對我們這次聯(lián)合遠(yuǎn)征的信心。讓我們心中的熱切永遠(yuǎn)不會減退。不要讓那些暫時(shí)事件和轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的東西影響我們?nèi)ネ瓿刹豢蓜訐u的目標(biāo)。

With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogances. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace -- a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

在您的庇佑下，我們一定可以戰(zhàn)勝被您拋棄的敵人軍隊(duì)。保佑我們戰(zhàn)勝那些貪婪的信徒和種族優(yōu)越主義者。指引我們保護(hù)祖國，并和我們的姐妹國家共同構(gòu)建能夠維護(hù)長期和平的世界團(tuán)結(jié)，一種任何卑鄙小人的陰謀都無法破壞的團(tuán)結(jié)。在這種和平中，每個(gè)人都能自由地生活，他們的辛勤勞作都能得到應(yīng)有的回報(bào)。

Thy will be done, Almighty God.

全能的上帝，愿您的旨意可以立刻實(shí)現(xiàn)。

Amen.

阿門
