奧巴馬發(fā)表了就職演說(shuō),正式成為美國(guó)第一任黑人總統(tǒng)。 所以今天與大家分享的單詞就是inaugural address (就職演說(shuō))和 inauguration ceremory (就職典禮)
An inauguration is a ceremony of formal investiture whereby an individual assumes an office or position of authority or power. The term is usually used in reference to a politician’s assumption of the duties of head of state or head of government (e.g. the President’s inauguration). An “inaugural address” is the presidential speech given at this ceremony.
