And the heroic federal agents and police officers who worked together throughout the week, often at great risk to themselves, to keep our communities safe. As a country, we are eternally grateful for the profound sacrifices they make in the line of duty – sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice to defend the people they've sworn to protect.

Through days that would test even the sturdiest of souls, Boston's spirit remains⁸ undaunted. America's spirit remains undimmed. Our faith in each other, our love for this country, our common creed⁹ that cuts across whatever superficial differences we may have – that's what makes us strong. That's why we endure.

即便是最坚强的心在这些日子里也会受到考研，但波士顿依然坚强。美国依然坚强。我们鼓舞着彼此的信念，展示这对国家的爱，我们共同的信仰超越了我们表面上的差异，正是这些让我变得坚强。正是这些让我们变得坚韧。

In the days to come, we will remain vigilant¹⁰ as a nation. And I have no doubt the city of Boston and its surrounding communities will continue to respond in the same proud and heroic way that they have thus far – and their fellow Americans will be right there with them every step of the way. May God bless the people of Boston and the United States of America.

在未来的日子里，全国上下都将保持警惕。我相信，波士顿和它周边的地区将继续以同样自豪和英勇的精神来应对一切，美国同胞也将与站在他们身边，陪伴他们走过每一步。愿上帝保佑波士顿人民和美利坚合众国。
