美国总统就职日(1 月 20 日) CultureThe Inauguration ceremonies for the new President, elected in November, are always on 20 January in Washington, DC (or on 21 January, if 20 January is a Sunday). The President says the Oath of Office, and the Vice-President does the same. The President then gives the Inaugural Address, a speech about his plans. This is followed by a long parade along Pennsylvania Avenue. In the evening there are official Inaugural balls (= formal events at which people dance).Topics Politicsc2
