奧巴馬競(jìng)選時(shí)演講稿(4篇)

第1篇 2022年奧巴馬總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選演講稿

four years ago as i had the privilege to travel all across the country and meet americans from all walks of life. i decided nobody else should have to endure the heartbreak of a broken health care system. no one in the wealthiest nation on earth should go because they get sick. nobody should have to tell their daughters or sons the decisions they can and cannot make for themselves are constrained because of some politicians in washington.

四年前我有幸周游了全國(guó)，遇到了各行各業(yè)的人們。我下定了決心不讓任何人由于醫(yī)療保健系統(tǒng)的不健全而心碎，不讓這個(gè)世界上最富有的的國(guó)家的任何人因?yàn)榧膊《F困潦倒。不讓任何人需要告訴自己的子女，他們能做什么，不能做什么，會(huì)由華盛頓的某些政客而左右。

and thanks to you, we’ve made a difference in people’s lives. thanks to you. there are folks that i meet today who have gotten care and their cancer’s been caught. and they’ve got treatment. and they are living full lives and it happened because of you.

感謝你們，人們的生活才有了更多不同。感謝你們，讓今天的我遇到的很多人得到了關(guān)懷，得到了治療。他們能夠繼續(xù)完整地生活，這些都離不開你們。

we've come too far to turn back now. we've got too much work to do to implement health care. we've got too much work to do to create good jobs. we've got too many teachers that we've got to hire. we've got too many schools that we've got to rebuild. we've got too many students who still need affordable higher education.

我們已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷了那么多，現(xiàn)在不該回頭。要落實(shí)醫(yī)療改革，要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，我們還有太多要做。有太多老師等著我們?nèi)フ骷?，有太多學(xué)校需要我們?nèi)ブ亟?，有太多學(xué)生需要讓他們負(fù)擔(dān)得起的大學(xué)。

there's more homegrown energy to generate. there are more troops that we've got to bring home. there are more doors of opportunity we've got to open to anybody who is willing to work hard and walk through those doors. we've got to keep building an economy. or no matter what you look like or where you come from, you can make it here if you try. and you can leave something behind for the ne_t generation. that's what at stake right now in colorado. that's why i'm running for president of the united states of america. that's why i'm asking for your vote.

有太多本土能源要去生產(chǎn)，有更多的軍隊(duì)需要回歸祖國(guó)，有更多的機(jī)會(huì)之門需要我們?nèi)ゴ蜷_，讓那些愿意努力工作的人們有機(jī)會(huì)成功。我們要繼續(xù)發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)。做到無(wú)論你是何種膚色，來(lái)自何方，只要你努力就可以成功。你就可以為下一代創(chuàng)造更好的條件。這是我們?cè)诳屏_拉多州要爭(zhēng)奪的。這是為什么我要競(jìng)選美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。這是為什么我希望你們投票給我。

i still believe in you. and if you still believe in me, and if you're willing to stand with me, and knock on some doors with me, and make some phone calls with me, and talk to your neighbors and friends about what's at stake, we will win this election. we will finish what we started. and we'll remind the world why america is the greatest nation on earth.

我依舊相信你們。如果你們依舊相信我，如果你們?cè)敢庵С治遥臀乙黄鹑ミ甸T拜訪，和我一起打電話，告訴你的鄰居和朋友們，我們?cè)跔?zhēng)取什么，那我們就能在這場(chǎng)競(jìng)選中獲得勝利。我們就會(huì)像上次那樣贏得最終勝利。

god bless you and god bless the united states of america.

上帝護(hù)佑你，上帝護(hù)佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。

第2篇 奧巴馬競(jìng)選美國(guó)總統(tǒng)英語(yǔ)演講稿

if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

it's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

it's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, latino, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states: we are, and always will be, the united states of america.

it's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

it's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to america.

i just received a very gracious call from senator mccain. he fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. i congratulate him and governor palin for all they have achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

i want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of scranton and rode with on that train home to delaware, the vice president-elect of the united states, joe biden.

i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last si_teen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's ne_t first lady, michelle obama. sasha and malia, i love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the white house. and while she's no longer with us, i know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

to my campaign manager david plouffe, my chief strategist david a_elrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done. but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you.

i was never the likeliest candidate for this office. we didn't start with much money or many endorsements. our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington - it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of charleston.

it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. this is your victory.

i know you didn't do this just to win an election and i know you didn't do it for me. you did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. for even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave americans waking up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us. there are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. there is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.

the road ahead will be long. our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even one term, but america - i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there. i promise you - we as a people will get there.

there will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who won't agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you, especially when we disagree. and above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in america for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. what began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. this victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. it cannot happen without you.

so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.

let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. those are values we all share, and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “we are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” and to those americans whose support i have yet to earn - i may not have won your vote, but i hear your voices, i need your help, and i will be your president too.

and to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of american leadership is at hand. to those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you. to those who seek peace and security - we support you. and to all those who have wondered if america's beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

for that is the true genius of america - that america can change. our union can be perfected. and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. but one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta. she's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election e_cept for one thing - ann ni_on cooper is 106 years old. she was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

and tonight, i think about all that she's seen throughout her century in america - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes we can.

at a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. yes we can.

when there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a new deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. yes we can.

when the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. yes we can.

she was there for the buses in montgomery, the hoses in birmingham, a bridge in selma, and a preacher from atlanta who told a people that “we shall overcome.” yes we can.

a man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in america, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how america can change. yes we can.

america, we have come so far. we have seen so much. but there is so much more to do. so tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the ne_t century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as ann ni_on cooper, what change will they see? what progress will we have made?

this is our chance to answer that call. this is our moment. this is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

yes we can. thank you, god bless you, and may god bless the united states of america.

第3篇 奧巴馬競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)演講稿

第奧巴馬競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)演講稿

hello, chicago!

芝加哥，你好!

if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

如果有人懷疑美國(guó)是個(gè)一切皆有可能的地方，懷疑美國(guó)奠基者的夢(mèng)想在我們這個(gè)時(shí)代依然燃燒，懷疑我們民主的力量，那么今晚這些疑問(wèn)都有了答案。

it's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

學(xué)校和教堂門外的長(zhǎng)龍便是答案。排隊(duì)的人數(shù)之多，在美國(guó)歷史上前所未有。為了投票，他們排隊(duì)長(zhǎng)達(dá)三、四個(gè)小時(shí)。許多人一生中第一次投票，因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這一次大選結(jié)果必須不同以往，而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負(fù)。

it's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, latino, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states; we are, and always will be, the united states of america.

無(wú)論年齡，無(wú)論貧富，無(wú)論民主黨人或共和黨人，無(wú)論黑人、白人，無(wú)論拉美裔、亞裔、印地安人, 無(wú)論同性戀、異性戀，無(wú)論殘障人、健全人，所有的人，他們向全世界喊出了同一個(gè)聲音：我們并不隸屬 “紅州”與 “藍(lán)州”的對(duì)立陣營(yíng)，我們屬于美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)，現(xiàn)在如此，永遠(yuǎn)如此!

it's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)，很多人說(shuō)：我們對(duì)自己的能量應(yīng)該冷漠，應(yīng)該恐懼，應(yīng)該懷疑。但是，歷史之輪如今已在我們手中，我們又一次將歷史之輪轉(zhuǎn)往更美好的未來(lái)。

it's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to america.

漫漫征程，今宵終于來(lái)臨。特殊的一天，特殊的一次大選，特殊的決定性時(shí)刻，美國(guó)迎來(lái)了變革。

i just received a very gracious call from sen. mccain. he fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.

he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. i congratulate him and gov. palin for all they have achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

剛才，麥凱恩參議員很有風(fēng)度地給我打了個(gè)電話。在這次競(jìng)選中，他的努力持久而艱巨。為了這個(gè)他摯愛的國(guó)家，他的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美國(guó)的奉獻(xiàn)超出絕大多數(shù)人的想象。他是一位勇敢無(wú)私的領(lǐng)袖，有了他的奉獻(xiàn)，我們的生活才更美好。我對(duì)他和佩林州長(zhǎng)的成績(jī)表示祝賀。同時(shí)，我也期待著與他們共同努力，再續(xù)美國(guó)輝煌。

i want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of scranton and rode with on that train home to delaware, the vice-president-elect of the united states, joe biden.

我要感謝我的競(jìng)選搭檔——當(dāng)選副總統(tǒng)喬·拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓市街頭長(zhǎng)大、一起坐火車返回特拉華州的人們，拜登全心全意地竟選，他代表了這些普通人的聲音。

i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life,our nation's ne_t first lady, michelle obama. sasha andmalia, i love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the white house. and while she's no longer with us, i know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

我要感謝下一位第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬。她是我家的中流砥柱，是我生命中的最愛。沒(méi)有她在過(guò)去16年來(lái)的堅(jiān)定支持，今晚我就不可能站在這里。我要感謝兩個(gè)女兒薩沙和瑪麗婭，我太愛你們兩個(gè)了，你們將得到一條新的小狗，它將與我們一起入住白宮。我還要感謝已去世的外婆，我知道此刻她正在天上注視著我。她與我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們，他們對(duì)我的恩情比山高、比海深。

to my campaign manager, david plouffe; my chief strategist, david a_elrod; and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

我要感謝我的競(jìng)選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)·普魯夫，感謝首席策劃師大衛(wèi)·阿克塞羅德以及整個(gè)競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)，他們是政治史上最優(yōu)秀的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)。你們成就了今夜，我永遠(yuǎn)感謝你們?yōu)榻褚顾冻龅囊磺小?/p>

but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.

但最重要的是，我將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這場(chǎng)勝利真正屬于誰(shuí)---是你們!

i was never the likeliest candidate for this office. we didn't start with much money or many endorsements. our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington —it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of charleston.

我從來(lái)不是最有希望的候選人。起初，我們的資金不多，贊助人也不多。我們的競(jìng)選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳，而是起于德莫奈地區(qū)某家的后院、康科德地區(qū)的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區(qū)的某家前廊。

it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause. it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. this is your victory.

勞動(dòng)大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元，拿來(lái)捐助我們的事業(yè)。年輕人證明了他們絕非所謂“冷漠的一代”。他們遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)和親人，拿著微薄的報(bào)酬，起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀(jì)的人也頂著嚴(yán)寒酷暑，敲開陌生人的家門助選。無(wú)數(shù)美國(guó)人自愿組織起來(lái)，充當(dāng)自愿者。正是這些人壯大了我們的聲勢(shì)。他們的行動(dòng)證明了在兩百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未從地球上消失。這是你們的勝利。

i know you didn't do this just to win an election, and i know you didn't do it for me. you did it because youunderstand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. foreven as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave americans waking up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us. there are mothers and fathers. who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. there is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances torepair.

你們這樣做，并不只是為了贏得一場(chǎng)大選，更不是為了我個(gè)人。你們這樣做，是因?yàn)槟銈兦宄磥?lái)的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。今晚我們?cè)跉g慶，明天我們就將面對(duì)一生之中最為嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)--兩場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、一個(gè)充滿危險(xiǎn)的星球，還有百年一遇的金融危機(jī)。今晚我們?cè)谶@里慶祝，但我們知道在伊拉克的沙漠里，在阿富汗的群山中，許許多多勇敢的美國(guó)人醒來(lái)后就將為了我們而面臨生命危險(xiǎn)。許許多多的父母會(huì)在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠，他們正在為月供、醫(yī)藥費(fèi)，孩子今后的大學(xué)費(fèi)用而發(fā)愁。我們需要開發(fā)新能源，創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，建造新學(xué)校，迎接挑戰(zhàn)和威脅，并修復(fù)與盟國(guó)的關(guān)系。

the road ahead will be long. our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year, or even one term, but america — i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there. i promise you: we as a people will get there.

前方道路還很漫長(zhǎng)，任務(wù)艱巨。一年之內(nèi)，甚至一屆總統(tǒng)任期之內(nèi)，我們可能都無(wú)法完成這些任務(wù)。但我從未像今晚這樣對(duì)美國(guó)滿懷希望，我相信我們會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)目標(biāo)。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅(jiān)民族將實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)!

there will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who won't agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you, especially when we disagree. and, above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in america for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.

我們會(huì)遇到挫折，會(huì)出師不利，會(huì)有許多人不認(rèn)同我的某一項(xiàng)決定或政策。政府并不能解決所有問(wèn)題，但我會(huì)向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會(huì)聆聽你們的意見，尤其是在我們意見相左之時(shí)。最重要的是，我會(huì)讓你們一起重建這個(gè)國(guó)家。用自己的雙手，從一磚一瓦做起。這是美國(guó)立國(guó)221年以來(lái)的前進(jìn)方式，也是惟一的方式。

what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. this victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change. and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. it cannot happen without you.

21個(gè)月前那個(gè)隆冬所開始的一切，絕不應(yīng)在這一個(gè)秋夜結(jié)束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選，這只是給變革提供了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)。假如我們照老路子辦事，就沒(méi)有變革;沒(méi)有你們，就沒(méi)有變革。

so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers. in this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.

讓我們重新發(fā)揚(yáng)愛國(guó)精神，樹立嶄新的服務(wù)意識(shí)、責(zé)任感，每個(gè)人下定決心，一起努力工作，彼此關(guān)愛;讓我們牢記這場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)帶來(lái)的教訓(xùn)：不能允許商業(yè)街掙扎的同時(shí)卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個(gè)國(guó)家，我們作為同一個(gè)民族，同生死共存亡。

let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity. those are values we all share, and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

黨派之爭(zhēng)、瑣碎幼稚，長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)這些東西荼毒了我們的政壇。讓我們牢記，當(dāng)來(lái)自伊利諾伊州的一位先生首次將共和黨大旗扛進(jìn)白宮時(shí)，伴隨著他的是自強(qiáng)自立、個(gè)人自由、國(guó)家統(tǒng)一的共和黨建黨理念。這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝，但我們態(tài)度謙卑，并決心彌合阻礙我們進(jìn)步的分歧。

as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, 'we are not enemies, but friends... though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.' and, to those americans whose support i have yet to earn, i may not have won your vote, but i hear your voices, i need your help, and i will be your president, too.

當(dāng)年,林肯面對(duì)的是一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)比目前更為分裂的國(guó)家。他說(shuō)：“我們不是敵人，而是朋友……雖然激情可能不再，但是我們的感情紐帶不會(huì)割斷?！睂?duì)于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國(guó)人，我想說(shuō)，雖然我沒(méi)有贏得你們的選票，但我聽到了你們的聲音，我需要你們的幫助，我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。

and to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of american leadership is at hand. to those who would tear this world down: we will defeat you. to those who seek peace and security: we support you. and to all those who have wondered if america's beacon still burns as bright: tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

對(duì)于關(guān)注今夜結(jié)果的國(guó)際人士，不管他們是在國(guó)會(huì)、皇宮關(guān)注，還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺(tái)，我們的態(tài)度是：我們美國(guó)人的經(jīng)歷各有不同，但我們的命運(yùn)相關(guān)，新的美國(guó)領(lǐng)袖誕生了。對(duì)于想毀滅這個(gè)世界的人們，我們必將擊敗你們。對(duì)于追求和平和安全的人們，我們將支持你們。對(duì)于懷疑美國(guó)這盞燈塔是否依然明亮的人們，今天晚上我們已再次證明：美國(guó)的真正力量來(lái)源并非軍事威力或財(cái)富規(guī)模，而是我們理想的恒久力量：民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)和不屈的希望。

for that is the true genius of america — that america can change. our union can be perfected. and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

美國(guó)能夠變革，這才是美國(guó)真正的精髓。我們的聯(lián)邦會(huì)不斷完善。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就，將為我們將來(lái)能夠并且必須取得的成就增添希望。

this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. but one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta. she's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, e_cept for one thing: ann ni_on cooper is 106 years old.

這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項(xiàng)“第一”，誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事，但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女：安妮·庫(kù)波爾。她和無(wú)數(shù)排隊(duì)等候投票的選民沒(méi)有什么差別，唯一的不同是她高齡106歲。

she was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;

when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons —

because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

在她出生的那個(gè)時(shí)代，黑奴制剛剛廢除。那時(shí)路上沒(méi)有汽車，天上沒(méi)有飛機(jī)。

當(dāng)時(shí)像她這樣的人由于兩個(gè)原因不能投票--一第

一因?yàn)樗桥?，第二個(gè)原因是她的膚色。

and tonight, i think about all that she's seen throughout her century in america — the heartache and

the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we

were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes, we can.

今天晚上，我想到了安妮在美國(guó)過(guò)去一百年間的種種經(jīng)歷：心痛和希望，掙扎和進(jìn)步，

那些我們被告知我們辦不到的年代，以及

我們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)年代。現(xiàn)在，我們堅(jiān)信美國(guó)式信念──是的，我們能!

at a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and

speak out and reach for the ballot. yes, we can.

在那個(gè)年代，婦女的聲音被壓制，她們的希望被剝奪。但安妮活到了今天，看到婦女們站起來(lái)了，可以大聲發(fā)表意見了，有選舉權(quán)了。

是的，我們能。

when there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself

with a new deal, new jobs and a new sense of common

purpose. yes, we can.

安妮經(jīng)歷了上世紀(jì)三十年代的大蕭條。農(nóng)田荒蕪，絕望籠罩美國(guó)大地。她看到了美國(guó)以新政、新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)以及嶄新的共同追求

戰(zhàn)勝了恐慌。是的，我們能。

when the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to

greatness and a democracy was saved. yes, we can.

二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期，炸彈襲擊我們的海港，全世界受到獨(dú)裁專制威脅，安妮見證了一代美國(guó)人的英雄本色，他們捍衛(wèi)了民主。是的，我們能。

she was there for the buses in montgomery, the hoses in birmingham, a bridge in selma and a preacher from

atlanta who told a people that 'we shall overcome.' yes,

we can.

安妮經(jīng)歷了蒙哥馬利公交車事件、伯明翰黑人暴動(dòng)事件、塞爾馬血醒周末事件。來(lái)自亞特蘭大的一位牧師告訴人們：我們終將勝利。

是的，我們能。

a man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in america, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how america

can change. yes, we can.

人類登上了月球、柏林墻倒下了，科學(xué)和想像把世界連成了一塊。今年，在這次選舉中，安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕，投下自己的一票。她在美國(guó)生活了106年，其間有最美好的時(shí)光，也有最黑暗的時(shí)刻，她知道美國(guó)能夠變革。

是的，我們能。

america, we have come so far. we have seen so much. but there is so much more to do. so tonight, let us ask ourselves: if our children should live to see the ne_t century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as ann ni_on cooper, what change will they see?

what progress will we have made?

美利堅(jiān)，我們已經(jīng)一路走來(lái)，我們已經(jīng)看到了那么多變化，但我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥＝褚?，讓我們?wèn)自己這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)題：假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個(gè)世紀(jì)，假如我的女兒們有幸與安妮一樣長(zhǎng)壽，她們將會(huì)看到怎樣的改變?

我們又取得了怎樣的進(jìn)步?

this is our chance to answer that call. this is our moment. this is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism,and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: yes, we can.

現(xiàn)在，我們獲得了回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題的機(jī)會(huì)。這是我們的時(shí)刻，我們的時(shí)代。讓我們的人民重新就業(yè)，為我們的孩子打開機(jī)會(huì)的大門;恢復(fù)繁榮，促進(jìn)和平;讓美國(guó)夢(mèng)重放光芒，再證這一根本性真理，那就是：團(tuán)結(jié)一致，眾志成城;一息尚存，希望就在;倘若有人嘲諷和懷疑，說(shuō)我們不能，我們就以這一永恒信條回應(yīng)，因?yàn)樗哿苏麄€(gè)民族的精神——是的，我們能!

thank you, god bless you, and may god bless the united states of america.

謝謝大家!愿上帝保佑你們，保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。

第奧巴馬競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)獲勝演講稿

“thank you. thank you. thank you so much.

謝謝，非常感謝各位。

tonight more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. it moves forward because of you. it moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the heightsof hope. the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an american family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.

今晚，是在一個(gè)曾經(jīng)的殖民地在贏得自己主權(quán)200多年之后，我們來(lái)到這里，不斷前行，這主要是因?yàn)槟銈儓?jiān)信這個(gè)國(guó)家能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)永恒的希望，實(shí)現(xiàn)移民的夢(mèng)想。每一個(gè)人都可以獨(dú)立的爭(zhēng)取自己的未來(lái)，我們將會(huì)作為一個(gè)國(guó)家共同起落。

tonight in this election, you, the american people, remind us while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that the united states of america – the best is yet to come.

今晚，在選舉的過(guò)程當(dāng)中，你們——美國(guó)的人民，讓我們記得我們的道路是非常艱辛的，我們的道路是漫長(zhǎng)的，我們重新站了起來(lái)，我們也從內(nèi)心知道，美國(guó)還沒(méi)有迎來(lái)最好的時(shí)代。

[cheering] i want to thank every american who participated in this election [cheering] whether you voted for the very first time or waiting in line for a very long time. by the way, we need to fi_ that. whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone. whether you held an obama sign or a romney sign, you mad your voice heard. and you made a difference. i just got off the phone with governor romney and i congratulated him and paul ryan on a hard-fought campaign.

我想要感謝每一個(gè)參與選舉的美國(guó)人。無(wú)論你們是第一次投票，還是(排隊(duì))等了很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間才投上一票——順便說(shuō)一下我會(huì)解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。無(wú)論你是自己上門投的票，還是打電話投的票;無(wú)論你是投給奧巴馬的人，還是投給羅姆尼的人，你都是為我們國(guó)家?guī)?lái)轉(zhuǎn)變的力量。我剛剛同羅姆尼通過(guò)電話，我祝賀他們這次競(jìng)選所取得的成績(jī)。

[cheering] we may have fought fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply. and we care so stronly about its future.

我們的選戰(zhàn)也許非常激烈，但這正是因?yàn)槲覀兩類壑@個(gè)國(guó)家，并且我們十分在意它的未來(lái)。

from george to lenore to their son mitt, the romney family has chosen to give back to americans through public service. and that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. [cheering] in the weeks ahead, i also look forward to sitting down with governor romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. [cheering] i want to thank my friend and partner for the last four years, america’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for: joe biden.

從羅姆尼整個(gè)家庭，孫子輩，孩子輩，整個(gè)家庭都獻(xiàn)給了美國(guó)，這種精神我們將永遠(yuǎn)銘記。幾周之后我將會(huì)同羅姆尼坐在一起，討論我們?cè)趺礃油苿?dòng)國(guó)家未來(lái)的發(fā)展。我也感謝在過(guò)去四年辛苦奉獻(xiàn)的搭檔，也是美國(guó)最好的副總統(tǒng)，拜登先生。

i want to thank my friend and partner of the last 4 years, america’s happy warrior, the best vice president anyone could ever hope for: joe biden. and i wouldn’t be the man i am today without the woman who agreed to marry me twenty years ago. let say this publicly, michelle i have never loved you more. i have never been prouder to watch the rest of america fall in love with you too as our nation’s first lady.

我(之所以)成為現(xiàn)在的我，必須要感謝20年前與我結(jié)婚的女人。我想公開地表達(dá)：米歇爾，我從來(lái)沒(méi)有像現(xiàn)在這樣愛你!我為你感到非常非常的驕傲，我相信我們的國(guó)家也非常愛你，你是我們非常熱愛的美國(guó)第一夫人。

sasha and malia before our very eyes you are growing up to become two strong smart beautiful young women, just like your mom. and im so proud of you guys. but i will say that for now one dog is probably enough.

薩莎和瑪莉亞，我摯愛的女兒，你們兩個(gè)是非常堅(jiān)強(qiáng)也非常聰明的女性，就像你們的母親一樣，我對(duì)你們感到非常的驕傲，但是目前我覺得給你們養(yǎng)一條寵物狗就夠了。

to the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics. the best. the best ever. some of you were this time around. some of you were new this time around and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning but all of you are family. no matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the life long appreciation of a grateful president. thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley. [applause] you lifted me up the whole way and i will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in. [applause]

我還要感謝我的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)和志愿者，他們是最好的，最棒的，而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次來(lái)聽我的演說(shuō)，有些人四年前就聽了我的獲勝演說(shuō)，但是每個(gè)人對(duì)我來(lái)講都是我的一分子，不管你做了什么，不管你去了哪里，你一定會(huì)記得我們今天晚上所創(chuàng)的歷史，你會(huì)一生都感激今晚這個(gè)時(shí)刻，而且你們會(huì)一直記得有一個(gè)心懷感激的總統(tǒng)，謝謝你們一路以來(lái)對(duì)我的信任，我要感謝你們所做的每一件事情。正是因?yàn)橛辛四銈?，我才?huì)一路堅(jiān)持下來(lái)。我對(duì)此將永遠(yuǎn)感謝，不管你做的什么，你們所做的一切我都心懷感激，并且永遠(yuǎn)鳴謝。

i know that political campaigns can sometime seem small, even silly, and that provides plenty of fodder for the synics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. but if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turn out at rallies and crowded out along a ropline in a high school gym or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else; you’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who is working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. [applause]

我知道這些政治競(jìng)選，可能有時(shí)候看起來(lái)非常愚蠢，而且我們也聽到很多人跟我們講政治有的時(shí)候十分愚蠢，可能他只是利益的追求和沖突，但是如果你們真的有機(jī)會(huì)去和競(jìng)選活動(dòng)上和人們談?wù)撘恍﹩?wèn)題，或者你看到一些競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)，非常辛勤工作的志愿者們，你們的印象會(huì)有所改觀，因?yàn)槟隳軌蚩吹剿麄冇卸啻蟮臎Q心。他們也從大學(xué)畢業(yè)，并希望每一個(gè)孩子得到像他們一樣的機(jī)會(huì)。

you’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who is going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. [applause] you’ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who is working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country every has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home. [applause] that’s why we do this. that’s what politics can be. that’s why elections matter. it’s not small, it’s big. it’s important. democracy in a nation of 300-million can be noisy and messy and complicated. we have our own opinions, each of us has deeply held beliefs. and when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country; it necisarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.

大家會(huì)聽到志愿者驕傲的聲音，當(dāng)他們看到當(dāng)?shù)氐钠嚿a(chǎn)商增加了就業(yè)的機(jī)會(huì)，他們會(huì)感到非常的驕傲。大家也會(huì)看到我們軍人深深的愛國(guó)情意，他們守護(hù)著美國(guó)的安全，我們將保證他們回國(guó)之后不會(huì)再為找工作而煩惱。這就是我們現(xiàn)在所做的一切，這就是我們政治的目的，這也是為什么選舉如此重要。這并不是小事情，而是大事情，是至關(guān)重要的事情。我們這個(gè)擁有3億人口的國(guó)家，民主的情緒可能十分復(fù)雜，可能十分混亂，每個(gè)人可能都有自己的觀點(diǎn)，每個(gè)人都有自己深深的信仰，在我們經(jīng)歷艱難時(shí)刻，做出艱難抉擇時(shí)，我們很自然會(huì)有沖突，會(huì)有情感的表達(dá)，但是我認(rèn)為它不應(yīng)當(dāng)影響我們今晚的表現(xiàn)。

that won’t change after tonight and it shouldn’t . these arguments we have are a mark of our liberty. we can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter [applause] the chance to cast their ballots like we did today. 這些爭(zhēng)論正是我們自由的基礎(chǔ)，我們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記我們說(shuō)話的時(shí)候，許多國(guó)家的人民仍然在冒著風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，希望能夠找到解決問(wèn)題的方法，希望能夠爭(zhēng)取投票的權(quán)利。

but despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for america’s future. we want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers. [applause] a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation; with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow, to live in america that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality. that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. we want to pass on a country that is saved and respected and admired around the world. a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this world has ever known. but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace. that is built on the promise of dignity of every human being. 盡管我們有很多的分歧，大多數(shù)人都對(duì)美國(guó)有共同的希望，我們都希望我們的孩子能夠上最好的學(xué)校，有最好的老師;我們的國(guó)家成為技術(shù)以及創(chuàng)新方面的領(lǐng)袖，并且創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)崗位和更多的企業(yè)。我希望我們的孩子不是負(fù)債累累，不會(huì)受到恐怖力量的威脅。我們也希望我們的國(guó)家是安全的，在全球受到尊重和羨慕，并且擁有全世界最強(qiáng)大、最優(yōu)秀的軍隊(duì)。同時(shí)我們的國(guó)家也應(yīng)該是充滿信心的國(guó)家，結(jié)束戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，重塑人類的和平。

we believe in a generous america, in a compassionate america, in a tolerant america, open to the dreams of an immigrants daughter that studies in our schools and pledges to our flag. to the young boy on the south side of chicago, who sees a light beyond the nearest street corner. to the furniture workers child in north carolina who wants to become a engineer or a scientist. and engineer or an entrepreneur. a diplomat or even a president, that’s the future we hope for. that’s the vision we share, that’s where we need to go. forward. that’s where we need to go.

與此同時(shí)我們也希望自己的國(guó)家，有信心，并且能夠不斷推動(dòng)每個(gè)人的自由、繁榮和發(fā)展，我們相信美國(guó)的慷慨和包容，美國(guó)的自由和開放，我們將伸開雙手迎接那些移民的子女來(lái)到美國(guó)。我們相信在芝加哥任何一個(gè)孩子都可以看到他的希望，在北卡州那些想要成為科學(xué)家和醫(yī)生的學(xué)生，想要成為工程師，甚至是總統(tǒng)的學(xué)生，這是我們共同要爭(zhēng)取的未來(lái)，這是我們共同分享的愿景，這也是我們前進(jìn)的方向。

now we will disagree sometimes fiercely on how to get there, as it has for more then two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts, it’s not always a straight line or a smooth path. by itself a recognition of our common hopes and dreams won’t end the gridlock. or solve all our problems or substitute for the hard work of building consensus. and making the difficult compromises needed to move the country forward but that common bond is where we must begin. our economy is recovering, our decade of war is ending. a long campaign is now over. [applause] and whether i earned your vote or not, i have listened to you. i have learned from you and you have made me a better president. with your stories and your struggles, i returned to the white house more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead [applause]

我們有的時(shí)候會(huì)對(duì)于怎么樣向前進(jìn)有非常強(qiáng)烈的分歧，200年來(lái)，大家知道我們的進(jìn)步一直不是直線的，也不是一帆風(fēng)順，我們伴隨著很多分歧和不同。我們意識(shí)到我們有著共同的夢(mèng)想，將會(huì)使我們結(jié)束僵局，努力的促成問(wèn)題的解決。我們需要妥協(xié)，需要使我們國(guó)家的繼續(xù)向前進(jìn)，這樣一種團(tuán)結(jié)的力量是我們現(xiàn)在出發(fā)的基礎(chǔ)。我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)正處于復(fù)蘇期間，我們十年的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)也已經(jīng)結(jié)束，我們的競(jìng)選也已經(jīng)將告尾聲，無(wú)論我是否贏得了你們的選票，我都傾聽了你們的聲音，我都從你們那里學(xué)到了很多東西，你們將會(huì)使我成為更好的總統(tǒng)。我將會(huì)記得你們的故事，你們的抗?fàn)?，我將?huì)更堅(jiān)定的入主白宮，并且更堅(jiān)定的完成未來(lái)的工作。

tonight, you voted for action, not politics as usual. you elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. and in the coming weeks and months, i am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together: reducing our deficit, reforming our ta_ code, fi_ing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil, we’ve got more work to do. 今晚，大家是為行動(dòng)而不是為政治而投票，希望我們能夠更關(guān)注你們的工作，而不是我的工作。在今后的幾周，我將會(huì)與兩黨領(lǐng)袖會(huì)面應(yīng)對(duì)我們的挑戰(zhàn)，我們只能夠共同應(yīng)對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)，減少我們的赤字，改善我們的移民體系，減少對(duì)外國(guó)石油的依賴，我們有很多工作要做。

but that doesn’t mean your work is done. the role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote. america’s never been about what could be done for us, it’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. that’s the principle we were founded on.

但是這不意味著你們的工作就結(jié)束了，在民主社會(huì)當(dāng)中公民的作用并不因?yàn)橥镀倍Y(jié)束，你們一定要問(wèn)問(wèn)自己，不是美國(guó)能為你們做什么，而是我能為美國(guó)做什么，我們要進(jìn)行自我治理，自我約束，這是我們的原則，也是我們建國(guó)的理念。

this country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us rich. we have the most powerful military in history but that’s not what makes us strong. our university, our culture, are all the envy of the world but that’s not what keeps the world coming to our shores. what makes america e_ceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth, the belief that our destiny is shared, that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and the future generations so that the freedom so many americans have fought for and died for comes with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love, and charity, and duty and patriotism. that’s what makes america great.

我們這個(gè)國(guó)家是世界上最富有的國(guó)家，但并不是我們每個(gè)人富有，雖然我們的軍隊(duì)十分強(qiáng)大，但我們個(gè)人并不強(qiáng)大，我們的大學(xué)、我們的文化，雖然是全球最優(yōu)秀的，但是卻并不是說(shuō)我們就是全球最優(yōu)秀的。因?yàn)槲覀兪且粋€(gè)多民族的國(guó)家，多樣性的國(guó)家，但是在這樣多樣性的國(guó)家當(dāng)中，我們有共同的愿景和共識(shí)。如果我們推卸責(zé)任，不為子孫后代負(fù)責(zé)，我們將不會(huì)是一個(gè)能夠前進(jìn)的國(guó)家。我們要承擔(dān)我們的責(zé)任，熱愛我們的國(guó)家，這也是使美國(guó)強(qiáng)大的原因。

i am hopeful tonight because i have seen that spirit at work in america. i’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job. i’ve seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb, and in those seals who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew their was a buddy behind them watching their back. i’ve seen it on the shores of new jersey and new york where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.

我今天晚上充滿了希望，因?yàn)槲铱吹矫绹?guó)勞動(dòng)人民的精神，還看到了那些商業(yè)人士所做的工作，提供了很多工作機(jī)會(huì)，而且我還看到那些失業(yè)的人民得到了幫助，我還看到戰(zhàn)士們?nèi)匀皇匦l(wèi)著我們的國(guó)家，因?yàn)樗麄円仓牢覀冊(cè)谥С种麄儭Ｎ疫€看到新澤西紐約每個(gè)政黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，都開始拋開他們的歧見，來(lái)探討怎么從桑迪風(fēng)暴中重建我們的家園。

and i saw it just the other day, in mentor, ohio wehre a father told the story of his eight-year-old daughter who’s long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for healthc are reform passing just a few months before. the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care

i had an opportunity to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his, and when he spoke to the crowd listening to that father’ story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own. and i know that every american wants her future to be just as bright. that’s who we are. that’s the country i’m so proud to lead as your president.

我們還看到，幾天前，俄亥俄州一個(gè)父親說(shuō)他有一個(gè)八歲的女兒，女孩的白血病使他的家庭一貧如洗，他們之前并沒(méi)有得到醫(yī)療保障，后來(lái)他們受利于幾個(gè)月前剛剛通過(guò)的醫(yī)改方案，使他們能夠支付起醫(yī)療費(fèi)。我和這位父親，還有他的女兒都見面了，當(dāng)他說(shuō)的時(shí)候，在場(chǎng)所有的父母都落淚了，因?yàn)槲覀冎?，他的女兒也可能是我們的女兒，我們都希望自己的孩子未?lái)充滿光芒，這是每個(gè)父母的希望，這是我身為總統(tǒng)引以為豪的。

and tonight, despite all the hardship we’ve been through, despite al lthe frustrations of washington, i’ve never been more hopeful about our future

i’ve never been more hopeful about america. and i ask you to sustain that hope. i’m not talking about blind optimism. the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path. i’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. i have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside of us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching to keep working, to keep fighting.

今晚，盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的困難，盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的挫折，我對(duì)未來(lái)格外充滿信心，我對(duì)美國(guó)格外充滿希望，我希望大家延續(xù)這種希望，我這里講的并不是盲目的樂(lè)觀，指的是我們對(duì)未來(lái)的挑戰(zhàn)，我也沒(méi)有說(shuō)天真或者理想化的樂(lè)觀情緒，我真正的希望，不管我們遇到多少的挫折，多少的困難，只有我們有勇氣保持不斷努力、不斷斗爭(zhēng)，不斷勇往直前。

america, i believe we can build on the progress we made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class

i believe we can keep the promise of our founder. the idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or hispanic or asian, or native american, or young or old, or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it.

我相信我們我們能在取得成就的基礎(chǔ)上取得新的機(jī)會(huì)，為美國(guó)的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)提供新的希望，我相信我們能夠繼續(xù)延續(xù)我們建國(guó)者的承諾，不管你來(lái)自哪里，不管你的膚色是什么，不管你是黑人、白人、亞裔人，任何種族，不管你是同性戀，還是非同性戀，不管你是貧困的，還是富裕的，你都可以來(lái)到美國(guó)實(shí)現(xiàn)你的夢(mèng)想。

i believe we can sieze this future together. because we are not as divided as our politics suggest. we’re not as cynical as the pundents believe. we are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions. and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. we are and forever will be the united states of america. with your help and god’s grace, we will continue our journey forward. and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth.thank you, america. god bless you. god bless these united states.” [cheering]

我相信，我們可以共同迎來(lái)這樣的未來(lái)，因?yàn)槲覀儗?duì)未來(lái)是充滿了希望，我們有雄心壯志，我們贏得的不僅僅是這一個(gè)選舉，而且是一個(gè)未來(lái)，是美國(guó)的未來(lái)。我們將會(huì)作為一個(gè)整體，是美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)，而不是分成藍(lán)色或者是紅色，上帝會(huì)引導(dǎo)我們走向這條道路。并且我們相信，我們會(huì)成為世界上最偉大的國(guó)家，謝謝你們，上帝保佑美國(guó)!

第奧巴馬競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)連任演講稿

mr. obama: thank you. thank you so much. vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:

謝謝，非常感謝大家。拜登副總統(tǒng)、首席大法官先生、國(guó)會(huì)議員們、尊敬的各位嘉賓、親愛的公民們。

each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our constitution. we affirm the promise of our democracy. we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. what makes us e_ceptional – what makes us american – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:

每一次我們集會(huì)慶?？偨y(tǒng) 就職都是在見證美國(guó)憲法的持久力量。我們都是在肯定美國(guó)民主的承諾。我們重申，將這個(gè)國(guó)家緊密聯(lián)系在一起的不是我們的膚色，也不是 我們信仰的教條，更不是我們名字的來(lái)源。讓我們與眾不同，讓我們成為美國(guó)人的是我們對(duì)于一種理念的恪守。200多年前，這一理念在宣言中被清晰闡述：

“we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

“我們認(rèn)為下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。造物主賦予他們?nèi)舾刹豢蓜儕Z的權(quán)利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的權(quán)利。”

today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-e_ecuting; that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth. the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. they gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.

今天，我們繼續(xù)著這一未竟的征程，架起這些理念與我們時(shí)代現(xiàn)實(shí) 之間的橋梁。因?yàn)闅v史告訴我們，即便這些真理是不言而喻的，它們也從來(lái)不會(huì)自動(dòng)生效。因?yàn)殡m然自由是上帝賦予的禮物，但仍需要世間的子民去捍衛(wèi)。1776年，美國(guó)的愛國(guó)先驅(qū)們不是只為了推翻國(guó)王的暴政而戰(zhàn)，也不是為贏得少數(shù)人的特權(quán)，建立暴民的 統(tǒng)治。先驅(qū)們留給我們一個(gè)共和國(guó)，一個(gè)民有、民治、民享的政府。他們委托每一代美國(guó)人捍衛(wèi)我們的建國(guó)信條。

for more than two hundred years, we have.

在過(guò)去的200多年里，我們做到了。

through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. we made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.

從奴役的血腥枷鎖和刀劍的血光廝殺中我們懂得了，建立在自由與平等原則之上的聯(lián)邦不能永遠(yuǎn)維持半奴隸和半自由的狀態(tài)。我們贏得了新生，誓言共同前進(jìn)。

together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers。

我們共同努力，建立起現(xiàn)代的經(jīng)濟(jì)體系。架設(shè)鐵路與高速公路，加速了旅行和商業(yè)交流。建立學(xué)校與大學(xué)，培訓(xùn)我們的工人。

together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.

我們一起發(fā)現(xiàn)，自由市場(chǎng)的繁榮只能建立在保障競(jìng)爭(zhēng)與公平競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的原則之上。

together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.

我們共同決定讓這個(gè)偉大的國(guó)家遠(yuǎn)離危險(xiǎn)，保護(hù)她的人民不受生命威脅和不幸的侵?jǐn)_。

through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone. our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.

一路走來(lái)，我們從未放棄對(duì)集權(quán)的質(zhì)疑。我們同樣不屈服于這一謊言：一切的社會(huì)弊端都能夠只靠政府來(lái)解決。我們對(duì)積極向上與奮發(fā)進(jìn)取的贊揚(yáng)，我們對(duì)努力工作與個(gè)人責(zé)任的堅(jiān)持，這些都是美國(guó)精神的基本要義。

but we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new

challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action. for the american people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than american soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. no single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people.

我們也理 解，時(shí)代在變化，我們同樣需要變革。對(duì)建國(guó)精神的忠誠(chéng)，需要我們肩負(fù)起新的責(zé)任，迎接新的挑戰(zhàn)。保護(hù)我們的個(gè)人自由，最終需要所有人的共同努力。 因?yàn)槊绹?guó)人不能再獨(dú)力迎接當(dāng)今世界的挑戰(zhàn)，正如美國(guó)士兵們不能再像先輩一樣，用_____和民兵同敵人(法西斯主義與共產(chǎn)主義)作戰(zhàn)。一個(gè)人無(wú)法培訓(xùn)所有的數(shù)學(xué) 與科學(xué)老師，我們需要他們?yōu)榱宋磥?lái)去教育孩子們。一個(gè)人無(wú)法建設(shè)道路、鋪設(shè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)、建立實(shí)驗(yàn)室來(lái)為國(guó)內(nèi)帶來(lái)新的工作崗位和商業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)?，F(xiàn)在，與以往任何時(shí)候相 比，我們都更需要團(tuán)結(jié)合作。作為一個(gè)國(guó)家，一個(gè)民族團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)。

this generation of americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. a decade of war is now ending. an economic recovery has begun. america’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. my fellow americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.

這一代美國(guó)人經(jīng)歷了危機(jī)的考 驗(yàn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)堅(jiān)定了我們的決心，證明了我們的恢復(fù)力。長(zhǎng)達(dá)十年的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)正在結(jié)束，經(jīng)濟(jì)的復(fù)蘇已經(jīng)開始。美國(guó)的可能性是無(wú)限的，因 為我們擁有當(dāng)今沒(méi)有邊界的世界所需要的所有品質(zhì)：年輕與活力、多樣性與開放、無(wú)窮的冒險(xiǎn)精神以及創(chuàng)造的天賦才能。我親愛的同胞們，我們正是為此刻而生，我 們更要在此刻團(tuán)結(jié)一致，抓住當(dāng)下的機(jī)會(huì)。

for we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. we believe that america’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. we know that america thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an american, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of god but also in our own.

因 為我們，美國(guó)人民，清楚如果只有不斷萎縮的少數(shù)人群體獲得成功，而大多數(shù)人不能成功，我們的國(guó)家就無(wú)法成功。我們相信，美國(guó)的繁榮必須建立在不斷上升的 中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的寬闊臂膀之上，我們知道美國(guó)的繁榮只有這樣才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。只有當(dāng)每個(gè)人都能找到工作中的自立與自豪時(shí)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。只有當(dāng)誠(chéng)實(shí)勞動(dòng)獲得的薪水足夠讓家庭 擺脫困苦的懸崖時(shí)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們忠誠(chéng)于我們的事業(yè)，保證讓一個(gè)出生于最貧窮環(huán)境中的小女孩都能知道，她有同其他所有人一樣的成功機(jī)會(huì)。因?yàn)樗且粋€(gè)美國(guó) 人，她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不僅由上帝來(lái)見證，更由我們親手保護(hù)。

we understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. we must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our ta_ code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. but while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single american. that is what this moment requires. that is what will give real meaning to our creed.

我們知 道，我們已然陳舊的程序不足以滿足時(shí)代的需要。我們必須應(yīng)用新理念和新技術(shù)重塑我們的政府，改進(jìn)我們的稅法，改革我們的學(xué)校，讓我們的公民擁有他們 所需要的技能，更加努力地工作，學(xué)更多的知識(shí)，向更高處發(fā)展。這意味著變革，我們的目標(biāo)是：國(guó)家可以獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)每個(gè)美國(guó)人的努力和果斷。這是現(xiàn)在需要的。這將給 我們的信條賦予真正的意義。

we, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. we must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. but we reject the belief that america must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. for we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. we do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. we recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. the commitments we make to each other – through medicare, and medicaid, and social security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. they do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.

我們，人民，仍然認(rèn)為，每個(gè)公民都應(yīng)當(dāng)獲得基本的安全和尊嚴(yán)。我 們必須做出艱難抉擇，降低醫(yī)療成本，縮減赤字規(guī)模。但我們拒絕在照顧建設(shè)國(guó)家的這一代和投 資即將建設(shè)國(guó)家的下一代間做出選擇。因?yàn)槲覀冇浀眠^(guò)去的教訓(xùn)：老年人的夕陽(yáng)時(shí)光在貧困中度過(guò)，家有殘障兒童的父母無(wú)處求助。我們相信，在這個(gè)國(guó)家，自由不 只是那些幸運(yùn)兒的專屬，或者說(shuō)幸福只屬于少數(shù)人。我們知道，不管我們?cè)鯓迂?fù)責(zé)任地生活，我們?nèi)魏稳嗽谌魏螘r(shí)候都可能面臨失業(yè)、突發(fā)疾病或住房被可怕的颶風(fēng) 摧毀的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。 我們通過(guò)醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)、聯(lián)邦醫(yī)療補(bǔ)助計(jì)劃、社會(huì)保障項(xiàng)目向每個(gè)人做出承諾，這些不會(huì)讓我們的創(chuàng)造力衰竭，而是會(huì)讓我們更強(qiáng)大。這些不會(huì)讓我們成 為充滿不勞而獲者的國(guó)度，這些讓我們敢于承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，讓國(guó)家偉大。

we, the people, still believe that our obligations as americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. we will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. the path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. but america cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. we cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must claim its promise. that is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. that is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by god. that’s what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.

我 們，人民，仍然相信，我們作為美國(guó)人的義務(wù)不只是對(duì)我們自己而言，還包括對(duì)子孫后代。我們將應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化的威脅，認(rèn)識(shí)到不采取措施應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化就是對(duì)我 們的孩子和后代的背叛。一些人可能仍在否定科學(xué)界的壓倒性判斷，但沒(méi)有人能夠避免熊熊火災(zāi)、嚴(yán)重旱災(zāi)、更強(qiáng)力風(fēng)暴帶來(lái)的災(zāi)難性打擊。通向可再生能源利用的 道路是漫長(zhǎng)的，有時(shí)是困難的。但美國(guó)不能抵制這種趨勢(shì)，我們必須引領(lǐng)這種趨勢(shì)。我們不能把制造新就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)和新行業(yè)的技術(shù)讓給其他國(guó)家，我們必須明確這一承 諾。這是我們保持經(jīng)濟(jì)活力和國(guó)家財(cái)富(我們的森林和航道，我們的農(nóng)田與雪峰)的方法。這將是我們保護(hù)我們星球的辦法，上帝把這個(gè)星球托付給我們。這將給我 們的建國(guó)之父?jìng)冊(cè)嫉男艞l賦予意義。

we, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty. the knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. but we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war, who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends, and we must carry those lessons into this time as well. 我們，人民，仍然相信持久的安全與和平，不需要持續(xù)的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。我們勇敢的士兵經(jīng)受了戰(zhàn) 火的考驗(yàn)，他們的技能和勇氣是無(wú)可匹敵的。我們的公民依然銘記著那些陣 亡者，他們非常清楚我們?yōu)樽杂筛冻龅拇鷥r(jià)。明白他們的犧牲將讓我們永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)那些試圖傷害我們的勢(shì)力保持警惕。但我們也是那些贏得和平而不只是戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的人們的后 代，他們將仇敵轉(zhuǎn)變成最可靠的朋友，我們也必須把這些經(jīng)驗(yàn)帶到這個(gè)時(shí)代。

we will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. we will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully – not because we are na?ve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear. america will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that e_tend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. we will support democracy from asia to africa; from the americas to the middle east, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. and we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.

我們將通過(guò)強(qiáng)大的軍力和法制保護(hù)我們的人民，捍衛(wèi)我們的價(jià)值觀。我們將展現(xiàn)試圖和平解決與其它國(guó)家分歧的勇氣，但這不是因?yàn)槲覀儗?duì)面臨的危險(xiǎn)持幼稚的態(tài) 度，而是因?yàn)榻佑|能夠更持久地化解疑慮和恐懼。美國(guó)將在全球保持強(qiáng)大的聯(lián)盟，我們將更新這些能擴(kuò)展我們應(yīng)對(duì)海外危機(jī)能力的機(jī)制。因?yàn)樽鳛槭澜缟献顝?qiáng)大的國(guó) 家，我們?cè)谑澜绾推椒矫鎿碛凶畲蟮睦妗Ｎ覀儗⒅С謴膩喼薜椒侵?、從美洲至中東的民主國(guó)家，因?yàn)槲覀兊睦婧土夹尿?qū)使我們代表那些想獲得自由的人們采取行 動(dòng)。我們必須成為貧困者、病患者、被邊緣化的人士、異見受害者的希望來(lái)源，不僅僅是出于慈善，也是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)時(shí)代的和平需要不斷推進(jìn)我們共同信念中的原則： 寬容和機(jī)遇，人類尊嚴(yán)與正義。

we, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through seneca falls, and selma, and stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a king proclaim that our individual freedom is ine_tricably bound to the freedom of every soul on earth.

我們，人民，今天昭示的最明白的事實(shí)是——我們所有人都是生而平等的，這是 依然引領(lǐng)我們的恒星。它引領(lǐng)我們的先輩穿越紐約塞尼卡瀑布城(女權(quán)抗議事件)、 塞爾馬(黑人權(quán)力事件)和石墻騷亂(同性戀與警察發(fā)生的暴力事件)，引領(lǐng)著所有的男性和女性，留下姓名和沒(méi)留姓名的人。在偉大的征程中，一路上留下足跡的 人。曾經(jīng)聽一位牧師說(shuō)，我們不能獨(dú)自前行。馬丁-路德-金說(shuō)，我們個(gè)人的自由與地球上每個(gè)靈魂的自由不可分割。

it is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. for our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to e_ercise the right to vote. our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see america as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than e_pelled from our country. our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of detroit to the hills of appalachia to the quiet lanes of newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.

繼續(xù)先輩開創(chuàng)的事業(yè)是我們這代人的任務(wù)。直到我們的妻子、母親和女兒的付 出能夠與她們的努力相稱，我們的征途才會(huì)結(jié)束。我們的征途不會(huì)終結(jié)，我們要讓同性 戀的兄弟姐妹在法律之下得到與其他人同樣的待遇。如果我們真正是生而平等的，那么我們對(duì)彼此的愛也應(yīng)該是平等的。我們的征途沒(méi)有結(jié)束，直到?jīng)]有公民需要等 待數(shù)個(gè)小時(shí)去行使投票權(quán)。我們的征途不會(huì)結(jié)束，直到我們找到更好的方法迎接努力、有憧憬的移民，他們依舊視美國(guó)是一塊充滿機(jī)會(huì)的土地。直到聰穎年輕的學(xué)生 和工程師為我們所用，而不是被逐出美國(guó)。我們的征途不會(huì)結(jié)束，直到我們所有的兒童，從底特律的街道到阿巴拉契亞的山嶺，再到康涅狄格州紐鎮(zhèn)安靜的小巷，直 到他們得到關(guān)心和珍視，永遠(yuǎn)避免受到傷害。

that is our generation’s task – to make these words, these rights, these values – of life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – real for every american. being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in e_actly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time – but it does require us to act in our time.

那 是我們這一代的任務(wù)——讓生存、自由和追求幸福的言語(yǔ)、權(quán)力和價(jià)值切實(shí)體現(xiàn)在每個(gè)美國(guó)人的身上。我們的立國(guó)文本沒(méi)有要求我們將每個(gè)人的生活一致化。這并 不意味著，我們會(huì)以完全一樣的方式去定義自由，沿著同樣的道路通向幸福。進(jìn)步不會(huì)終止幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)一直糾結(jié)的關(guān)于政府角色的爭(zhēng)論，但這要求我們現(xiàn)在就采取 行動(dòng)。

for now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. we cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. we must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. we must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare philadelphia hall.

目前是由我們決策，我們不能拖延。我們不能 將絕對(duì)主義當(dāng)作原則，或者以表象代替政治，或?qū)⒅袀曌骼硇缘霓q論。我們必須行動(dòng)，要意識(shí)到我們的工作并不完 美。我們必須行動(dòng)，意識(shí)到今天的勝利是并不完全的。這些將有賴于未來(lái)4年、40年或是400年致力于這項(xiàng)事業(yè)的人，去推進(jìn)當(dāng)年在費(fèi)城制憲會(huì)議大廳傳承給我 們的永恒精神。

my fellow americans, the oath i have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this capitol, was an oath to god and country, not party or faction – and we must faithfully e_ecute that pledge during the duration of our service. but the words i spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty, or an immigrant realizes her dream. my oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.

我的美國(guó)同胞，我今天在你們面前宣讀的誓詞，如同在國(guó)會(huì)山服務(wù)的其他人曾宣讀過(guò)的誓詞一樣，是對(duì)上帝和國(guó)家的誓詞，不是對(duì)黨派或是派別的，我們必須在任期 內(nèi)忠實(shí)地履行這些承諾。但我今天宣讀的誓詞與士兵報(bào)名參軍或者是移民實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想時(shí)所宣讀的誓詞沒(méi)有多少差別。我的誓詞與我們所有的人向我們頭頂飄揚(yáng)的、讓我 們心懷自豪的國(guó)旗所表達(dá)的誓言沒(méi)有多大差別。

they are the words of citizens, and they represent our greatest hope.

這些是公民的誓詞，代表著我們最偉大的希望。

you and i, as citizens, have the power to set this country’s course.

你和我，作為公民，都有為這個(gè)國(guó)家設(shè)定道路的權(quán)力。

you and i, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time – not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals.

你和我，作為公民，有義務(wù)塑造我們時(shí)代的辯題，不僅是通過(guò)我們的選票，而且要為捍衛(wèi)悠久的價(jià)值觀和持久的理想發(fā)聲。

let each of us now embrace, with solemn duty and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright. with common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.

現(xiàn)在讓我們相互擁抱，懷著莊嚴(yán)的職責(zé)和無(wú)比的快樂(lè)，這是我們永恒的與生俱來(lái)的權(quán)利。有共同的努力和共同的目標(biāo)，用熱情與奉獻(xiàn)，讓我們回應(yīng)歷史的召喚，將珍貴的自由之光帶入并不確定的未來(lái)。

thank you, god bless you, and may he forever bless these united states of america.

感謝你們，上帝保佑你們，愿上帝永遠(yuǎn)保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。

第4篇 奧巴馬競(jìng)選演講稿

奧巴馬競(jìng)選演講稿

obama:

奧巴馬:

hello, chicago.

您好，芝加哥。

if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果還有人仍在懷疑美國(guó)是不是一個(gè)一切皆有可能的國(guó)度的話，如果還有人仍在疑慮我們的美國(guó)的締造者的夢(mèng)想是否還存在于我們這個(gè)時(shí)代的話，如果還有人仍在質(zhì)疑我們民主的力量的話，今晚你就可以得到答案。

====開篇重申“美國(guó)夢(mèng)”的存在===

it's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.這個(gè)答案可以從懸掛在學(xué)校和教堂的數(shù)量空前的競(jìng)選條幅上得到;這個(gè)答案可以從等待了三四個(gè)小時(shí)，有很多還是有生以來(lái)第一次經(jīng)歷來(lái)投票的人們身上得到，因?yàn)樗麄儓?jiān)信這一時(shí)刻注定與眾不同，而他們的聲音可以成就這種改變。

it's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, hispanic, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.這個(gè)答案可以從不論青年還是老年，窮人還是富人，民主黨還是共和黨，黑人還是白人，拉丁裔、亞裔還是美國(guó)本土人，同性戀者還是異性戀者，殘疾人還是非殘疾人身上得到——他們向世界發(fā)出了這樣的信息——

we are, and always will be, the united states of america.我們從來(lái)不分紅色之州和藍(lán)色之州，我們永遠(yuǎn)都是統(tǒng)一的美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。

====此處”united”一語(yǔ)雙關(guān)，即可以拉攏沒(méi)有投票給他的共和黨人，也可以勸解投票給他的人要與政見不同者和睦相處——因?yàn)椤按蠹叶际敲绹?guó)人”。====

it's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.這個(gè)答案告訴了那些一直以來(lái)充滿焦慮、恐懼和懷疑的人們，我們可以將雙手放在歷史之輪上，將它再次轉(zhuǎn)向充滿希望的美好明天。

it's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to america.這一刻我們已經(jīng)等待了太久，但是今晚，由于我們?cè)谶@一決定性的時(shí)刻所作出的選擇，美國(guó)迎來(lái)了它嶄新的一刻。

====點(diǎn)明“改變”主題====

a little bit earlier this evening, i received an e_traordinarily gracious call from sen. mccain.今天傍晚稍早些的時(shí)候，我接到麥凱恩參議員一個(gè)特別親切的電話。

sen. mccain fought long and hard in this campaign. and he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine. we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. i congratulate him; i congratulate gov. palin for all that they've achieved. and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.他在這場(chǎng)漫長(zhǎng)而艱難的選舉中一直努力著，而他為他所熱愛的國(guó)家所付出的努力甚至更加艱辛而長(zhǎng)久。可能我們當(dāng)中的很多人甚至都無(wú)法想象麥凱恩議員從何時(shí)便開始為我們的國(guó)家奉獻(xiàn)自己，而我們卻早已享受到了這位勇敢無(wú)私的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者為國(guó)家所做出的貢獻(xiàn)。我祝賀他和佩琳州長(zhǎng)取得的成就。

同時(shí)我也期待著能夠和他們一同努力，共同延續(xù)這個(gè)國(guó)家對(duì)她的人民許下的承諾。

====贊揚(yáng)對(duì)手，進(jìn)一步安慰“敵人”====

i want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of scranton and rode with on the train home to delaware, the vice president-elect of the united states, joe biden.我要感謝我的競(jìng)選伙伴，他始終遵循著自己內(nèi)心深處的聲音，他始終代表著那些和他一起在斯克蘭頓街邊長(zhǎng)大，一起坐著火車回到故鄉(xiāng)特拉華州的人們，新當(dāng)選的美國(guó)副總統(tǒng)喬·拜登。

and i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's ne_t first lady michelle obama.如果沒(méi)有過(guò)去這20__年來(lái)一位摯友的支持，沒(méi)有穩(wěn)定的家庭，沒(méi)有我一生的摯愛，沒(méi)有我們國(guó)家的下一位第一夫人，米歇爾·奧巴馬，今晚我將不可能站在這里。

sasha and malia i love you both more than you can imagine. and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new white house.馬莉婭和薩莎，你們很難想象我有多愛你們?，F(xiàn)在你們可以帶著寵物狗一起來(lái)到新的白宮了。

and while she's no longer with us, i know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight. i know that my debt to them is beyond measure.還有，雖然我的外祖母已永遠(yuǎn)離開了我們，但我知道她也正和所有成就我、支持我的家人們一樣在看著我。我今晚非常想念他們，而且知道我欠他們的已經(jīng)太多.

to my sister maya, my sister alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. i am grateful to them.我的妹妹瑪雅，我的妹妹瑪雅和阿爾瑪，我的所有其他的兄弟姐妹們，感謝你們給了我這么多的一切支持，我感謝他們.

and to my campaign manager, david plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, i think, in the history of the united states of america.還有我的競(jìng)選顧問(wèn)大衛(wèi)-plouffe，此次競(jìng)選的無(wú)名英雄，我認(rèn)為，是他打造了美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)歷史上最好的-最好的政治運(yùn)動(dòng)。

to my chief strategist david a_elrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.感謝我的首席策略師大衛(wèi) 阿克塞爾羅德，陪伴我走過(guò)向前邁進(jìn)的每一步。

to the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

感謝歷史上最好的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)，是你們讓今天成為可能，我會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)感激你們?yōu)榱顺删徒裉焖龀龅呐蜖奚?/p>

but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. it belongs to you. it belongs to you.但最重要的是，我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這場(chǎng)勝利的真正所有者，勝利屬于你們，勝利屬于你們。

====感謝支持者，讓支持者認(rèn)為“票有所值”。====

i was never the likeliest candidate for this office. we didn't start with much money or many endorsements. our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington. it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of charleston. it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.我從來(lái)不是最有可能當(dāng)選的候選人。剛開始我們沒(méi)有多少錢，也沒(méi)有多少人支持或者為我們背書。我們的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)不是在華盛頓的華美的賓館大廳里組建的。它是在得梅因的后院，康科德的起居室里和查爾斯頓的門廊下組建的。這是那些從自己的微薄的積蓄中慷慨地捐出5美元，10美元和20美元的人締造的事業(yè)。

it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.這是由離開家從事更艱苦、收益更少的工作，摒棄了這一代人常有的冷漠的年輕人締造的事業(yè)。

it drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the earth.這是由那些不再年輕卻用于在寒風(fēng)酷暑中敲開完全是陌生人的家門的人們締造的事業(yè)。上百萬(wàn)美國(guó)人志愿組織了這件偉大的事業(yè)，證明了即使是在兩個(gè)世紀(jì)以后，一個(gè)民有、民治、民享的政府仍將永世長(zhǎng)存。

====引用林肯著名的葛底斯堡演說(shuō)，強(qiáng)調(diào)這次勝利的意義。====

this is your victory.這是你們的勝利。

and i know you didn't do this just to win an election. and i know you didn't do it for me.我知道你們并沒(méi)有僅僅為了贏得一場(chǎng)選舉而這樣做。我也知道你們不是為了我而這樣做。

you did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. for even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.你們這樣做，是因?yàn)槟銈兠靼讛[在面前的任務(wù)有多么的艱巨。即使我們今晚可以慶祝，我們?nèi)砸烂魈煲鎸?duì)的將是我們有生之年最艱難的挑戰(zhàn)——兩場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，陷入危險(xiǎn)的地球，一個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)最嚴(yán)重的金融危機(jī)。

even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave americans waking up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us.即使我們今晚站在這里，我們知道有很多勇敢的美國(guó)人在伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的山區(qū)為我們冒著生命危險(xiǎn)。

there are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.我們知道有很多父母會(huì)在孩子們睡著以后仍然在為支付房租、醫(yī)療賬單或孩子的學(xué)費(fèi)發(fā)愁。

there's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.我們知道要開發(fā)新能源，提供更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，建設(shè)新的的學(xué)校，面對(duì)新的的威脅，修復(fù)更多的伙伴關(guān)系。

the road ahead will be long. our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even in one term. but, america, i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there.未來(lái)的路還很長(zhǎng)，而且我們正在艱難地攀登在陡峭的山坡之上。我們未必能夠在一年或是在一個(gè)總統(tǒng)任期之內(nèi)達(dá)到目標(biāo)，但美國(guó)肯定可以。我從來(lái)沒(méi)有像今晚這樣自信：我們肯定可以達(dá)到目標(biāo)。

i promise you, we as a people will get there.我向你們承諾，我們肯定可以作為一個(gè)民族達(dá)成我們的目標(biāo)。

====重申即將面臨的困難和挑戰(zhàn)，并承諾共渡難關(guān)，加油打氣====

there will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who won't agree with every decision or policy i make as president. and we know the government can't solve every problem.這一過(guò)程肯定還會(huì)出現(xiàn)挫折，甚至是不成功的開始。我作為總統(tǒng)所做出的決策，肯定也會(huì)有許多人并不贊同。我們也知道政府并不能解決所有問(wèn)題。

but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you, especially when we disagree. and, above all, i will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in america for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.但我也會(huì)向你們誠(chéng)懇地交待我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會(huì)認(rèn)真聽從你們的建議，尤其是意見不一致的時(shí)候?？傊?，我邀請(qǐng)你們加入到國(guó)家再建的工作之中。 220__年來(lái)，我們的國(guó)家就是這樣一磚一瓦，一點(diǎn)一滴地建造起來(lái)的。

what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.我們既然開始于21個(gè)月前深冬，我們就不會(huì)在今年的這個(gè)秋天的夜晚結(jié)束。

this victory alone is not the change we seek. it is only the chance for us to make that change. and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.我們所追求的改變并不僅僅是這次的勝利。這僅僅是我們開始改變的機(jī)會(huì)。而如果我們回到以前的老樣子的話，改變就永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)發(fā)生。

it can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.沒(méi)有你，沒(méi)有一種新的服務(wù)精神，新的犧牲精神，改變是不會(huì)發(fā)生的。

so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.因此，讓我們拿出新的愛國(guó)精神和責(zé)任感，讓我們每個(gè)人都全身心投入，更加努力的工作，不僅要關(guān)心自己，還要互相關(guān)照。

let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers.讓我們記住，如果能從這個(gè)金融危機(jī)里吸取什么教訓(xùn)的話，那就是我們不能只有一個(gè)蓬勃發(fā)展的華爾街而美國(guó)的主干道卻每況愈下。

in this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.我們作為一個(gè)民族與美國(guó)共興衰。讓我們抵制誘惑，不要回到長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)毒害我們的政治的黨同伐異與不成熟的行為中去。

let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.讓我們銘記，是這個(gè)州的人將共和黨的旗幟扛進(jìn)了白宮，這是一個(gè)將價(jià)值觀建立在自信、個(gè)人自由以及國(guó)家團(tuán)結(jié)基礎(chǔ)上的政黨。

those are values that we all share. and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.我們所有人都信奉這一價(jià)值。雖然民主黨今晚獲得了巨大的勝利，但我們未來(lái)將用謙卑和決心來(lái)彌補(bǔ)競(jìng)選過(guò)程中產(chǎn)生的裂痕。

as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.正如林肯所說(shuō)，我們不是敵人，而是朋友。我們決不能成為敵人，盡管目前的情緒有些緊張，但決不能容許它使我們之間的親密情感紐帶破裂。

and to those americans whose support i have yet to earn, i may not have won your vote tonight, but i hear your voices. i need your help. and i will be your president, too.對(duì)于那些支持我的美國(guó)人，以及那些沒(méi)有將選票投給我的人，我聽到了你們的聲音，我需要得到你們的幫助，而我也同樣是你們的總統(tǒng)。

and to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of american leadership is at hand.還有對(duì)于所有在海外關(guān)注我們的人們，從身處廣廈王宮，到偏遠(yuǎn)山區(qū)的人們，我們的故事雖然各不相同，但是我們的命運(yùn)是息息相關(guān)的。新的美國(guó)就要來(lái)臨。

to those -- to those who would tear the world down: we will defeat you. to those who seek peace and security: we support you. and to all those who have wondered if america's beacon still burns as bright: tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.告訴那些企圖破壞這個(gè)世界的人：我們將打敗你。告訴那些追求和平和穩(wěn)定的人：我們支持你。對(duì)于所有那些疑惑美國(guó)的燈塔是否還會(huì)繼續(xù)明亮地燃燒的人，今夜我們將再次證明，我們國(guó)家的力量并不是來(lái)源來(lái)我們的軍隊(duì)的強(qiáng)大，也不是來(lái)源于我們財(cái)富的豐裕，而是源自于我們理念的持久力量。這些理念包括：民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)以及堅(jiān)貞不屈的希望。

that's the true genius of america: that america can change. our union can be perfected. what we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.這才是真正的美國(guó)：美國(guó)會(huì)發(fā)生變化。我們的聯(lián)盟可以更加完善。我們的成就讓我們有希望打造更美好的明天。

this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. but one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta. she's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election e_cept for one thing: ann ni_on cooper is 106 years old.這次選舉有許多第一次，許多故事會(huì)代代相傳。但是，我腦海里的故事卻屬于一個(gè)在亞特蘭大投票的女人。她和其他排隊(duì)等候投票的人沒(méi)什么不同——只有一點(diǎn)：安 尼克松 庫(kù)伯今年已經(jīng)106歲了。

she was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.她出生的時(shí)候，奴隸制剛剛廢除不久;當(dāng)時(shí)在道路上沒(méi)有汽車，在天空中沒(méi)有飛機(jī);當(dāng)時(shí)像她一樣的人們由于兩點(diǎn)原因不能參加投票：她的性別和她的膚色。

and tonight, i think about all that she's seen throughout her century in america -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes we can.而今晚，當(dāng)我想到她在這一個(gè)世紀(jì)里見到的美國(guó)——那些心痛，那些希望;那些拼搏，那些進(jìn)步;那些我們被告知“不能”的年代，和那些堅(jiān)守著美國(guó)夢(mèng)的人們：是的，我們能做到。

at a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. yes we can.當(dāng)時(shí)婦女的聲音被壓制，她們的希望被忽視，她看到她們站起來(lái)，為投票權(quán)而奔走。是的，我們能做到。

when there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a new deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. yes we can.當(dāng)世界陷入恐慌和絕望中時(shí)，她看到了一個(gè)國(guó)家戰(zhàn)勝了自己的恐懼，創(chuàng)造了新的機(jī)遇，新的工作，新的共同目標(biāo)。是的，我們能做到。

when the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. yes we can.當(dāng)炸彈落在我們的港口里，當(dāng)暴政威脅世界，她在那里目睹了一代人走向偉大，民主得以保存。是的，我們能做到。

she was there for the buses in montgomery, the hoses in birmingham, a bridge in selma, and a preacher from atlanta who told a people that 'we shall overcome.' yes we can. a man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.人類登上了月球，柏林墻倒塌，她看到了一個(gè)由科學(xué)和幻想連接的世界。

and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in america, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how america can change.今年，在這次選舉中，她用自己的手指觸摸投票站的屏幕，投出了自己的一票。因?yàn)?20__年后，在美國(guó)的美好和困難的經(jīng)歷讓她知道怎樣可以改變美國(guó)。

yes we can. 是的，我們能做到.

america, we have come so far. we have seen so much. but there is so much more to do. so tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the ne_t century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as ann ni_on cooper, what change will they see? what progress will we have made?美國(guó)，我們已經(jīng)來(lái)到了今天。我們已經(jīng)看到這么多。但我們還有這么多事情要做。因此，今夜，讓我們反問(wèn)一下我們自己，如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個(gè)世紀(jì);如果我的女兒能夠幸運(yùn)地活得像安-尼克森-庫(kù)珀那樣長(zhǎng)，他們將會(huì)看到什么樣的變化?我們那時(shí)將會(huì)取得什么樣的進(jìn)步?

this is our chance to answer that call. this is our moment.這是我們來(lái)回答問(wèn)題的機(jī)會(huì)，這是我們的時(shí)刻。

this is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. and where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: yes, we can.這是我們的時(shí)代，要使我們的人民重新工作并將機(jī)會(huì)留給我們的子孫;重新恢復(fù)繁榮并促進(jìn)和平;回歸我們的美國(guó)夢(mèng)想并重申一個(gè)基本事實(shí)--在眾人之中，我們也是其中一個(gè);當(dāng)我們呼吸，當(dāng)我們充滿希望的時(shí)候，我們?cè)庥隼涑盁嶂S和質(zhì)疑，那些人認(rèn)為我們無(wú)法做到。我們將用一句話來(lái)做出回應(yīng)：不，我們可以!

thank you. god bless you. and may god bless the united states of america.謝謝大家。上帝保佑你們。愿上帝保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。
