2、国受到了日本帝国海空军突然的蓄意的攻击The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. 美国和日本是和平相处的，根据日本的请求仍在同它的政府和天皇进行会谈，以期维护太平洋地区的和平。Indeed, one hour after Japanese a

3、ir squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic n

5、any days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. 历史将会作证，由于夏威夷离日本的距离如此之遥，显然表明这次进攻是经过许多天甚至许多星期精心策划的。在调停期间，日本政府蓄意以虚伪的声明和表示继续维持和平的愿望来欺骗美国。The attack yeste

6、rday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. 昨天对夏威夷群岛的攻击给美国海陆军部队造成了严重的损害。我遗

The facts of yesterday and today spea

9、k for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. 因此，日本在整个太平洋区域采取了突然的攻势。昨天和今天的事实不言自明。美国的人民已经形成了自己的见解，并且非常清楚这关系到我们国家的安全和生存的本身。As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed

10、that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. 作为陆、海军总司令，我已指示，为了我们的防务采取一切措施。但是，我们整个国家将永远记住这次对我们突袭的性质。No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous migh

12、in endanger us. 我们现在预言，我们不仅要做出最大的努力来保卫我们自己，我们还将确保这种背信弃义的形式永远不会再次危及到我们。我这样说，相信是表达了国会和人民的意志。 Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger. 敌对行动已经存在。无庸讳言，我国人民、我国领土和我国利益都处于严重危险之中。 With confidence in our armed forces, with the u

13、nbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God. 相信我们的武装部队,依靠我国人民的坚定决心,我们将取得必然的胜利,愿上帝帮助我们！ I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire. 我要求国会宣布：自年月日星期日，日本发动无端的、卑鄙的进攻时起，美国和日本帝国之间已处于战争状态
