美国的护照这样写的:
The Secretary of State of the United States of America hereby requests all whom it may concern to permit the citizen/national of the United States named herein to pass without delay or hindrance and in case of need to give all lawful aid and protection.
直译为:美国国务卿特此请求任何与允许以下美国公民/国民过境之相关人士不要延误办理或设置阻碍,并在需要时给予法律援助和保护。(有人讹传为多种版本,但是美国人对待本国公民的安全是从不马虎的,这点相信有目共睹)
