"I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear."
“我，唐纳德·约翰·特朗普，庄严宣誓。”
This is the moment when every U.S. president actually becomes the president.
这是每一位美国总统真正成为总统的时刻。
It's called "the inauguration", and Donald Trump knows what it's all about as he's done it before when he first became president in 2017.
这被称为“就职典礼”，唐纳德·特朗普对此很了解，因为他在2017年第一次成为总统时就经历过。
Now he's back, but although he won the U.S. election last November, he's not actually president until he takes the oath of office.
现在他回来了，不过尽管他赢得了去年11月的美国大选，但在他宣誓就职之前，他并不是真正的总统。
It's like a promise to the people of America that he will do his best to protect the country and do a good job of being their leader.
宣誓就职就像是对美国人民的承诺：他将尽最大努力保护这个国家，做好他们的领导人。
It won't be the only time we'll hear from him. He'll also give a special speech called "the inaugural address" where he announces plans for when he's leader.
这不会是我们唯一一次听到他的声音。他还将发表一场名为“就职演说”的特别演讲，宣布他就任总统后的计划。
Inauguration Day traditionally happens on the 20 January, at midday, that's around 5 p.m. our time, in Washington D.C., the capital of the United States.
传统上，就职典礼是在1月20日中午，也就是我们这边的下午5点左右，在美国首都华盛顿举行。
There's a big gap between the election and the inauguration, because back when George Washington, America's first president, was sworn in in 1789, information had to travel across America by horse and cart, which took a long time.
选举和就职典礼之间有一个很大的间隔，因为当初美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿于1789年宣誓就职时，消息必须通过马或者马车在美国各地传播，而这需要很长时间。
Usually the previous president attends, although Donald Trump skipped it last time after he lost to President Biden.
通常前任总统都会出席就职典礼，但唐纳德·特朗普在上次输给拜登总统后，并没有露面。
But Joe Biden is expected to be there as well as other senior politicians, family, friends, and maybe a few celebs too.
不过预计乔·拜登以及其他高级政治家、家人、朋友，也许还会有一些名人，都会出席此次的就职典礼。
Donald Trump and his family will also take part in a parade, and after lots of celebrating, he can move back into the White House where his work as president will really begin.
唐纳德·特朗普和他的家人也将参加一场游行，而在许多庆祝活动之后，他终于可以回到白宫，在那里他作为总统的工作将真正开始。
