And now to a young voice poised to speak to the nation.
最年輕的美國桂冠詩人，22歲的 Amanda Gorman 為新總統就職典禮作詩為紀，此乃詩文化的美國傳統，前輩詩人羅伯弗羅斯特、瑪雅安吉羅、伊莉莎白亞歷山大、理查布蘭可等都曾在典禮中留下祝福及祈願的名作。
The poet who will present a new work at the inauguration this week is quite accomplished, and yet only 22. She sounds many of Martin Luther King's themes and follows in the footsteps of poets, including Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Alexander, and Richard Blanco.
這是PBS對這位年輕詩人的專訪。（她聽到這項邀請就尖叫亂跳，就像個小女孩，但裡面也有早慧少女嚴肅對待社會國家的思考與情懷。）
