VOA常速英语:印度裔美国人黑利就职，彭斯称她是“美国承诺的证明”

Our new ambassador to the United Nations is living proof of the promise of America, the daughter of immigrants.She would rise to become the first female Indian American governor in our country’s history.The people of South Carolina have placed great faith in you, and you repay them with a record of extraordinary success,which has created prosperity and opportunity for the people of South Carolina.All of America also watched with admiration as you led your state and inspire the nation through time of great tragedy in Charleston just last year.

I know the President and I are confident you will bring your intellect, your leadership and your character and your unfailing grace to the role of ambassador to the United Nations for the United States of America.And on behalf of the President of the United States, it is my great privilege to administer to you the oath of office.

Please raise your right hand and repeat after me.I Nikki Haley do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,foreign and domestic;that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter.So help me God.
