Today,we celebrate the anniversary of the adoption of Magna Carta—one of history’s earliest and most consequential declarations of human freedom. Forged over 500 years before the dawn of our Republic,its eternal principles of equal justice,liberty,and the rule of law would ultimately leave an indelible mark on the American way of life. 今天，我們慶祝《大憲章》（Magna Carta）頒布週年——這是歷史上最早且最具深遠影響力的人類自由宣言之一。它早在我們的共和國誕生五百多年前便已形成，其平等正義、自由和法治等永恆原則，最終在美國人的生活方式中留下了不可磨滅的印記。
On June 15,1215,King John of England affixed his royal seal to Magna Carta at Runnymede,establishing the cornerstone of liberty upon which many of the world’s free governments would one day be built. For one of the first times in history, fundamental liberties of mankind were written into the law of the land: that justice must be equal and impartial, that religious liberty must be protected by law, that government may not levy taxes upon its people without their consent, and that no free man may be unduly imprisoned or stripped of his rights except by the lawful judgement of his peers. It boldly proclaimed that even the mightiest among us are answerable to ahigher law and that the rights of free citizens are beyond the reach of any crown or government.
1215年6月15日，英格蘭國王約翰（King John）在倫尼米德（Runnymede）為《大憲章》加蓋王室印璽，奠定了自由的基石，而世界上許多自由政府有朝一日都將在這一基石上建立起來。這是人類歷史上最早幾次將人類基本自由寫入國法的情況之一：司法必須平等而公正，宗教自由必須受到法律保護，政府未經人民同意不得向人民徵稅，任何自由人除非經與其身份相當者依法作出的裁決，不得被不當監禁或剝奪權利。《大憲章》大膽宣告，即使我們當中最有權勢者，也必須服從更高的法律；自由公民的權利不受任何王權或政府侵犯。
What was born on the fields of Runnymede would find its truest expression centuries later in the halls of Philadelphia,where our Founding Fathers gathered to forge anew Nation from the same eternal principles. They carried with them the ancient English love of liberty; a distinctive sense of glory,destiny,and pride;and aculture and character shaped over centuries on both sides of the Atlantic—but they had watched aBritish crown grow deaf to the very charter it had sworn to uphold. Having endured thattyranny for too long, our forefathers consecrated themselves to a new Republic grounded in the consent of the governed, equaljustice under the law,and the God-given rights of every free citizen to life,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness—a country that would stand as living proof that the timeless ideals of the Great Charter could still sustain afree and sovereign people across the ages.
源於倫尼米德（Runnymede，《大憲章》簽署地）的這一理念，數百年後將在費城的大廳中得到最真實的體現。當時，我們的開國先賢齊聚一堂，以同樣永恆的原則締造一個新的國家。他們帶著英國人自古以來對自由的熱愛，帶著一種獨特的榮耀感、使命感和自豪感，也帶著大西洋兩岸數百年來塑造而成的文化與品格；但他們也親眼看到，英國王室逐漸對自己曾誓言維護的這份憲章充耳不聞。在忍受那種暴政太久之後，我們的先輩獻身於建立一個新的共和國；這個共和國以人民的授權、法律之下的平等正義，以及上帝賦予每一位自由公民享有生命、自由和追求幸福的權利為根基。這個國家將成為鮮活的證明：偉大憲章的永恆理想，歷經歲月，依然能夠支撐一個自由而擁有主權的人民。
As we commemorate the anniversary of Magna Carta,we are reminded that the duty to preserve these freedoms falls to every generation of free citizens. The Patriots who pledged their lives to Independence in 1776 were heirs to the liberties enshrined in the Great Charter,and for 250 years since,America has borne witness to the truth that those ideals can endure—that anation built on impartial justice,individual liberty,and the rule of law can rise to meet any challenge and remain forever free. In this incredible milestone year for our Nation,we are the proud heirs of that great legacy—and we resolve to carry it forward with the same conviction that has defined every generation of Americans who came before us.
在紀念《大憲章》週年之際，我們也得到提醒：守護這些自由的責任，落在每一代自由公民身上。1776年把生命獻給獨立事業的愛國者，是《大憲章》所確立自由的繼承者。此後250年來，美國見證了一個真理：這些理想能夠長久延續；一個建立在公正無私的司法、個人自由和法治之上的國家，能夠迎接任何挑戰，並永遠保持自由。在這個對我們國傢俱有非凡意義的里程碑之年，我們自豪地繼承這一偉大遺產，並決心以歷代美國人同樣堅定的信念，將它繼續傳承下去。
