第一篇：OBAMA就职演说 转载

OBAMA: My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace.Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms.At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents.So it has been.So it must be with this generation of Americans.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood.Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.Homes have been lost;jobs shed;businesses shuttered.Our health care is too costly;our schools fail too many;and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics.Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land, a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real.They are serious and they are many.They will not be met easily or in a short span of time.But know this, America, they will be met.On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit;to choose our better history;to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.It must be earned.Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less.It has not been the path for the faint-hearted--for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame.Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things--some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West;endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg;Normandy and Khe Sahn.美国当地时间1月20日上午12点05分(北京时间21日凌晨1点05分)，第44届美国总统奥巴马发表了就职演说。以下为演讲全文实录：

我的同胞们，今天我站在这里，看到眼前面临的重大任务，深感卑微。我感谢你们对我的信任，也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。

迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。

前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。

现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中。我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨；国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。

我们的人民正在失去家园，失去工作，很多且要倒闭。社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望，而且每天都会有新的证据显示，我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威胁着我们的星球。

统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。危机难以测量，但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀——现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免，我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。今天我要说，我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战，而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。但是我们要相信，我们一定会度过难关。

今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。

今天，我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号，我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。

美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用《圣经》的话说，放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来，我们要为历史作出更好的选择，我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念：上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。

在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时，我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的，伟大需要努力赢得。(我们的民族一路走来)，这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协，这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。这条路是勇于承担风险者之路，是实干家、创造者之路。这其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行，带领我们走向富强和自由。

为了我们，先辈们带着微薄的细软，横渡大洋，寻找新生活；为了我们，先辈们忍辱负重，用血汗浇铸工厂；为了我们，先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他乡；为了我们，先辈们奔赴(独立战争中的)康科德城和葛底斯堡、(二战中的)诺曼底、(越战中的)Khe Sahn，他们征战、死去。⑴欢迎词 女士们，先生们：

第二篇：obama就职演说

Thank you!

Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story--a story we continue, but whose end we will not see.It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country.The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it.Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us

equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.To Be Continued...[/color]

[size=3][color=Blue]谢谢你们！

今天,按照宪法规定我们举行这个仪式.我们在此欢庆我国宪法常青的智慧,追寻我们团结全国的深切责任感.我感佩这个时刻带来的荣耀,意识到我们时代的期盼并期待着完成我的誓言,请你们做证.这是我们第二次聚会,我们的责任并非由我的讲演来确定,它源于我们当前历史时期的要求.半个世纪以来,美国在遥远的边界上捍卫着我们的自由.共产主义破产后我们有相对平静、懒散的岁月,而后是火光四射的那一天.我们已明了自身的弱点,我们也深知其根源.只要世界某些区域酝酿着不满、滋生着暴君,就会产生宣扬仇恨和为屠杀寻找借口的意识形态,就会聚集暴力和 毁灭的能量,它们会越过严密把守的边界带来毁灭的威胁.这个世界只存在一种力量可以冲决仇恨、揭露暴君的虚伪、扶植容忍、培育尊严,那就是人类的自由.我们受常识的指引和历史的教诲,得出如下结论:自由是否能在我们的土地上存在,正日益依赖于自由在别国的胜利.对和平的热切期望只能源于自由在世界上的扩展.关系到美国生死存亡的利益和我们基本的信念合而为一.自立国始,我们就宣示:生于世间的每个男女都拥有他们的权力、尊严和无可比拟的价值,因为他们 拥有创造天地之神的形象.每一世代,我们重申着民有政权的重要性,没有什么人应该是主人而另一些人应该做奴隶.实现这一理念的使命是我们的立国之本.我们 的先父荣耀地完成了这一使命.进一步扩展这一理念是国家安全的要求, 是我们的当务之急.有鉴于此,美国的政策是寻求并支持世界各国和各种文化背景下成长的民主运动,寻求并支持民主的制度化.最终的目标是终结世间的任何极权制度.这个目标最终不应由暴力达成,尽管在必要时,我们将以武力自卫,并保卫我们的朋友.自由的性质要求公民去自觉地选择它,捍卫它,并通过立法加以维 护,同时保障劣势者.当一个国家的魂魄最终选择自由时,它的制度将反映着不同于我们的文化和传统.美国将不会强迫任何国家接受我们的国家体制.我们的目 的,是帮助其他国家找到自己的声音,获得自身的自由,发现自己的自由之路.终结专制统治的巨大使命是几代人努力的目标.其难度不是无所作为的借口.美国的影响有限,但值得庆幸的是,美国的影响也是有力的,我们将充满信心地在追求自由的道路上帮助你们.我最庄严的责任是保护我的国家和它的人民不再受到任何袭击和威胁.有些人不明智地选择了试探美国的决心,他们发现了我们坚定的意志.我们坚定地给每一个统治者每一个国家提出这样的选择:请在压迫---这终究是错的,与自由---这永远是正确的,之间做道义的选择.美国不会装模作 样地默认被关押的异议者自我选择了枷锁,也不会默认妇女成为可耻的代名词,看着她们变成奴仆,同样不会默认任何人类的一员仰人鼻息地生活.我们将鼓励其它政府的改革,我们将明确表示与美国良好的关系要求他们善对自己的公民.美国对人的尊严的信念将指导我们的政策,但是人民权力并不是源 于**者违心的让步,它们应该源于人民反对的自由和被统治者的平等参与.从长远看,没有自由,就没有正义,没有人民的自由就不存在人权.我知道,有些人质疑全球自由,尽管经过四十年自由迅猛的发展,这个怀疑似乎不合时宜.美国全体人民不应被我们理念的力量所惊吓.最终,自由呼唤将发自每一个心灵.我们拒绝接受永恒的专制,因为我们拒绝接受永久的奴役.自由将来到热爱她的人们中间.今天,美国再次向世界人民说话:

那些生活在专制下绝望的人民应该知道,美利坚合众国不会漠视你们被压迫,不会原谅你们的压迫者.当你们保卫自己的自由时,美国将站在你们一边.那些面对着压制、监狱和流放的民主变革的参与者应该知道,美国知道你们的潜力:你们自由国家未来的领袖.那些无法无天的统治者应该知道,我们仍然抱有林肯总统的信念:”那些剥夺他人自由的人不配享有自由,而且在公正的上帝面前,他们也不会长久.”

那些习惯于控制人民的统治者应该知道,为了服务你的人民你应该给予他们信任.开始踏上进步和正义之路,那样,美国将站在你这一边.美国的所有盟友们应该知道:我们珍视我们的友谊,我们尊重你们的建议,我们依赖于你们的帮助.分裂自由国家的团结是自由敌人的目的.自由国家相互配合地推进民主是我们的敌人失败的开始.今天,我也要对我的同胞、公民们说:

我要求得到你们所有人的耐心,保卫国家安全是艰巨的任务,这样的耐心你们已经给予我很多了.我们的国家承担着一个困难重重的义务,中途放弃是可耻 的.正是因为我们继续着我们国家解放者的传统,成千上万的人们获得了自由.希望催生新的希望,更多的人将获得自由.通过我们的努力,我们点燃了火种,那火 种在人们心中.它温暖着感受它力量的人们,它烧毁那些试图阻挠进步的人.终有一天,这无可熄灭的自由之火将照亮我们这个世界最阴暗的角落.一些美国人已经接受这个事业中最困难的工作---那些默默无闻的情报和外交工作......这种理想主义激励他们帮助自由政府的工作......那 些打击我们的敌人危险而必要的工作.他们中的一些人献出了生命,他们的国家永远以他们为荣---我们也会永远记住他们的名字和他们的贡献.所有的美国人都见证了这种理想主义,有些人是第一次看到.我要求我们的青年相信自己的观察.你们看到了我们士兵们充满责任和忠诚的坚毅面孔.你们也 看到了生命的脆弱和魔鬼的真实,你们更看到了战胜的勇气.请选择参加这一进程,它比起个人需要重要得多,比个人伟大得多.一旦轮到你们,你们不但增加了我 们国家的财富,也将为她增添光彩.美国需要理想主义和勇气,因为我们要完成国内的任务.美国自由的未竞之业,在一个走向自由的世界里,我们要展示自由的真义和自由的承诺.在美国自由的信念里,公民享有尊严和经济上的独立,不是生活在潦倒的边缘.这是更广义自由的定义,它促生了《房屋法案》,《社会安全法案》和《人权 法案》.现在,我们将改革形成伟大的制度来服务于我们的时代,并扩展这一定义.每个美国人将分享国家的承诺和未来.我们将用最高的标准来要求我们的学校, 建立一个有产者的社会.我们要让更多的人拥有自己的住房和事业,拥有自己的退休基金和医疗保险.(注:不要错误理解为美国没有这种保险,他在推销他的改革 计划,所谓自己的是相对政府的而言.)让我们的人民对自由社会未来的挑战做好准备.让每个公民做他自己命运的主人.我们将把美国人民从匮乏和担忧中解脱, 并把我们的社会建成更为富强平等的社会.在美国的自由信念中,公共利益依赖于个人品质,这包括完善人格和宽容他人,以及有理性的生活.自我管理依赖于管理良好的自我.个人的全部特征建立于 家庭内,得到邻里的支持和约束,并在国家生活里贯彻始终,它依赖于西奈的真知、宝山临训、可兰经的教诲,与各种各样的信仰,在每一代美国人民的推动下前进 着,他们坚信源于历史的有益和真实---公正的理念和适宜的行为---都将被保有,从昨天、今天,直到永远的未来.在美国自由的信念中,个人权力的运用是由服务,宽容和对弱者的同情构成的.为全体的自由并不意味着人们的互相背离.我们国家依赖于那些互相守望的邻 里和用爱围绕失落者的人们.美国人最良好的表现在于珍重我们每一个人的生活,而且永远记得那些所谓无用之辈也有他们的价值.我们的国家一定要丢弃一切种族 主义的偏见,因为要知道我们不可能肩负自由的使命而又同时携带偏见的包袱.从每一天看,就以今天为例,我们国家面临着诸多问题.从一个世纪看,我们面对的问题是集中而突出的.我们这一代有没有拓展自由的疆界?我们的所作所为有没有为这事业增添光彩?

这些问题是我们的裁判,也团结了我们.因为无论是何党派、自我选择或是否出生于此,美国人在自由的道路上是不可分离的.我们知道分裂必须弥合我们才 能向伟大的目标前进.我将做出最大的努力去弥合分裂.但是这种裂痕不能左右美国.当自由受到威胁时,我们深感相互的团结和关联,我们的反击也如出自同手一 心.当美国仗义而行,当灾民们得到救助,当正义得到伸张,当人民获得自由,我们也同样自豪地感到我们是统一体.我们所有人都满怀信心地踏着自由胜利之路前进.这并非因为这是不可避免的历史进程.而是因为人类的选择构成进步.我们并不认为我们的国家就是上帝的 选民.上帝自有他的意志和选择.我们坚信这是因为自由是人类永恒的希望,是黑暗中的渴望,是灵魂的渴望.当我们的立国先贤宣布新时代的准则时,当一批批士 兵为了保卫基于自由的联邦而牺牲时,当公民手举”立即自由”的横幅和平抗议时---他们在实践着那古老的希望,这希望一定会成为现实.虽然公

正在历史上潮 起潮落,但是历史也有一条清晰的脉络,那是由自由和自由的实践者确定的.当独立宣言第一次对公众宣读,自由的钟声敲响.一个亲眼目睹的人这样说道:”它在鸣响着,似乎意味深长.”在我们的时代,这钟声依然意味深长.美国 在这年轻的世纪向世界、向所有它的居民传播着自由.我们充满活力,我们经历过艰难的斗争，但并没有疲倦---我们已做好准备去完成自由史上最伟大的功绩.上帝保佑你们,愿他眷顾美国[/color].[/size]

第三篇：奥巴马就职演说(obama victory speech)

2008-11-06 17:13:10

如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑，还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活，还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，这些问题都有了答案。

这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案，其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样，认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。

这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案——无论老少贫富，无论是民主党还是共和党，无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民，是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人——我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营，我们是美利坚合众国这个整体，永远都是。

长久以来，很多人一再受到告诫，要对我们所能取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能事，但这个答案让这些人伸出手来把握历史，再次让它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

已经过去了这么长时间，但今晚，由于我们在今天、在这场大选中、在这个具有决定性的时刻所做的，美国已经迎来了变革。

我刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。他在这场大选中经过了长时间的努力奋斗，而他为自己所深爱的这个国家奋斗的时间更长、过程更艰辛。他为美国做出了我们大多数人难以想像的牺牲，我们的生活也因这位勇敢无私的领袖所做出的贡献而变得更美好。我向他和佩林州长所取得的成绩表示祝贺，我也期待着与他们一起在未来的岁月中为复兴这个国家的希望而共同努力。

我要感谢我在这次旅程中的伙伴——已当选美国副总统的拜登。他全心参与竞选活动，为普通民众代言，他们是他在斯克兰顿从小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉华的火车上遇到的男男女女。

如果没有一个人的坚决支持，我今晚就不会站在这里，她是我过去16年来最好的朋友、是我们一家人的中坚和我一生的挚爱，更是我们国家的下一位第一夫人：米歇尔?奥巴马(Michelle Obama)。萨莎(Sasha)和玛丽亚(Malia)，我太爱你们两个了，你们已经得到了一条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入驻白宫。虽然我的外祖母已经不在了，但我知道她与我的亲人肯定都在看着我，因为他们，我才能拥有今天的成就。今晚，我想念他们，我知道自己欠他们的无可计量。

我的竞选经理大卫?普劳夫(David Plouffe)、首席策略师大卫?艾克斯罗德(David Axelrod)以及政治史上最好的竞选团队——是你们成就了今天，我永远感激你们为实现今天的成就所做出的牺牲。

但最重要的是，我永远不会忘记这场胜利真正的归属——它属于你们。

我从来不是最有希望的候选人。一开始，我们没有太多资金，也没有得到太多人的支持。我们的竞选活动并非诞生于华盛顿的高门华第之内，而是始于得梅因、康科德、查尔斯顿这些地方的普通民众家中。

我们的竞选活动能有今天的规模，是因为辛勤工作的人们从自己的微薄积蓄中拿出钱来，捐出一笔又一笔5美元、10美元、20美元。而竞选活动的声势越来越大则是源自那些年轻人，他们拒绝接受认为他们这代人冷漠的荒诞说法；他们离开家、离开亲人，从事报酬微薄、极其辛苦的工作；同时也源自那些已经不算年轻的人们，他们冒着严寒酷暑，敲开陌生人的家门进行竞选宣传；更源自数百万的美国民众，他们自动自发地组织起来，证明了在两百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。这是你们的胜利。

我知道你们的所做所为并不只是为了赢得大选，我也知道你们做这一切并不是为了我。你们这样做是因为你们明白摆在面前的任务有多艰巨。因为即便我们今晚欢呼庆祝，我们也知道明天将面临我们一生之中最为艰巨的挑战——两场战争、一个面临危险的星球，还有百年来最严重的金融危机。今晚站在此地，我们知道伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中还有勇敢的美国子弟兵醒来，甘冒生命危险保护着我们。会有在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠的父母，担心如何偿还月供、付医药费或是存够钱送孩子上大学。我们亟待开发新能源、创造新的工作机会；我们需要修建新学校，还要应对众多威胁、修复与许多国家的关系。

前方的道路会十分漫长艰辛。我们可能无法在一年甚至一届任期之内实现上述目标，但我从未像今晚这样满怀希望，相信我们会实现。我向你们承诺——我们作为一个整体将会达成目标。

我们会遭遇挫折和不成功的开端。对于我作为总统所做的每项决定和政策，会有许多人持有异议，我们也知道政府并不能解决所有问题。但我会向你们坦陈我们所面临的挑战。我会聆听你们的意见，尤其是在我们意见相左之时。最重要的是，我会请求你们参与重建这个国家，以美国221年来从未改变的唯一方式——一砖一瓦、胼手胝足。

21个月前那个寒冬所开始的一切不应该在今天这个秋夜结束。今天的选举胜利并不是我们所寻求的改变——这只是我们实现改变的机会。而且如果我们仍然按照旧有方式行事，我们所寻求的改变不可能出现。没有你们，也不可能有这种改变。

因此，让我们发扬新的爱国精神，树立新的服务意识和责任感，让我们每个人下定决心全情投入、更加努力地工作，并彼此关爱。让我们铭记这场金融危机带来的教训：我们不可能在金融以外的领域备受煎熬的同时拥有繁荣兴旺的华尔街——在这个国家，我们患难与共。

让我们抵制重走老路的诱惑，避免重新回到长期荼毒美国政治的党派纷争和由此引发的遗憾和不成熟表现。让我们牢记，正是伊利诺伊州的一名男子首次将共和党的大旗扛到了白宫。共和党是建立在自强自立、个人自由以及全民团结的价值观上，这也是我们所有人都珍视的价值。虽然民主党今天晚上赢得了巨大的胜利，但我们是以谦卑的态度和弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧的决心赢得这场胜利的。林肯在向远比我们眼下分歧更大的国家发表讲话时说，我们不是敌人，而是朋友„„虽然激情可能褪去，但是这不会割断我们感情上的联系。对于那些现在并不支持我的美国人，我想说，或许我没有赢得你们的选票，但是我听到了你们的声音，我需要你们的帮助，而且我也将是你们的总统。

那些彻夜关注美国大选的海外人士，从国会到皇宫，以及在这个世界被遗忘的角落里挤在收音机旁的人们，我们的经历虽然各有不同，但是我们的命运是相通的，新的美国领袖诞生了。那些想要颠覆这个世界的人们，我们必将击败你们。那些追求和平和安全的人们，我们支持你们。那些所有怀疑美国能否继续照亮世界发展前景的人们，今天晚上我们再次证明，我们国家真正的力量并非来自我们武器的威力或财富的规模，而是来自我们理想的持久力量：民主、自由、机会和不屈的希望。

这才是美国真正的精华——美国能够改变。我们的联邦会日臻完善。我们取得的成就为我们将来能够取得的以及必须取得的成就增添了希望。

这次大选创造了多项“第一”，也诞生了很多将世代流传的故事。但是今天晚上令我难忘的却是在亚特兰大投票的一名妇女：安?尼克松?库波尔(Ann Nixon Cooper)。她和其他数百万排队等待投票的选民没有什么差别，除了一点：她已是106岁的高龄。

她出生的那个时代奴隶制度刚刚结束；那时路上没有汽车，天上也没有飞机；当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票——一是她是女性，另一个原因是她的肤色。

今天晚上，我想到了她在美国过去一百年间所经历的种种：心痛和希望；挣扎和进步；那些我们被告知我们办不到的世代，以及那些坚信美国信条──是的，我们能做到──的人们。

曾几何时，妇女没有发言权，她们的希望化作泡影，但是安?尼克松?库波尔活了下来，看到妇女们站了起来，看到她们大声发表自己的见解，看到她们去参加大选投票。是的，我们能做到。

当30年代的沙尘暴和大萧条引发人们的绝望之情时，她看到一个国家用罗斯福新政、新就业机会以及对新目标的共同追求战胜恐慌。是的，我们能做到。

当炸弹袭击了我们的海港、独裁专制威胁到全世界，她见证了美国一代人的伟大崛起，见证了一个民主国家被拯救。是的，我们能做到。

她看到蒙哥马利通了公共汽车、伯明翰接上了水管、塞尔马建了桥，一位来自亚特兰大的传教士告诉人们：我们能成功。是的，我们能做到。

人类登上月球、柏林墙倒下，世界因我们的科学和想像被连接在一起。今年，就在这次选举中，她用手指触碰屏幕投下自己的选票，因为在美国生活了106年之后，经历了最好的时光和最黑暗的时刻之后，她知道美国如何能够发生变革。是的，我们能做到。

美国，我们已经走过漫漫长路。我们已经历了很多。但是我们仍有很多事情要做。因此今夜，让我们自问——如果我们的孩子能够活到下个世纪；如果我们的女儿有幸活得和安一样长，他们将会看到怎样的改变？我们将会取得怎样的进步？

现在是我们回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻。这是我们的时代——让我们的人民重新就业，为我们的后代敞开机会的大门；恢复繁荣发展，推进和平事业；让“美国梦”重新焕发光芒，再次证明这样一个基本的真理：我们是一家人；一息尚存，我们就有希望；当我们遇到嘲讽和怀疑，当有人说我们办不到的时候，我们要以这个永恒的信条来回应他们：

是的，我们能做到。感谢你们。愿上帝保佑你们，保佑美利坚合众国。

奥巴马当选演讲全文

“美国是一个任何事情都有可能发生的国家，对于这一点如果还有任何人心存怀疑的话，今晚就是对这一问题的最好回答”

美国已经做出了回答。现在，就在芝加哥格兰特广场上聚集的125，000名支持者面前，我们的新总统诞生了。下面就是巴拉克-奥巴马所做的2008年总统候选人就职演讲全文：

美国是一个任何事情都有可能发生的国家，对于这一点如果还有任何人心存怀疑，对民主的力量还表示疑虑的话，今晚就是对这一问题的最好回答。

这个答案早已经印在了到处悬挂在学校和教堂的竞选条幅上，人们随处可见；这些人们已经等待了三四个小时，对于他们当中的大多数，这是有生以来第一次经历这样的过程，因为他们坚信这一时刻注定与众不同，而这种不同便有可能源自他们所发出的声音。

这个答案出自这些人之口，无论是青年还是老年，穷人还是富人，民主党还是共和党，黑人还是白人，拉丁裔、亚裔还是美国本土人，同性恋者还是异性恋者，残疾人还是非残疾人——他们向世界发出了这样的信息——我们从来不分红色之州和蓝色之州，我们永远都是美利坚合众国。

这个答案告诉了那些一直以来充满焦虑、恐惧和怀疑的人们，我们可以将双手放在历史的转折点上，将它再次带向充满希望的美好明天。

这一刻我们已经等待了太久，但是今晚，由于我们在这一决定性的时刻所作出的选择，美国便迎来了它崭新的一刻。

我刚刚接到了来自麦凯恩议员的电话。他在这场漫长而艰难的选举中一直努力着，而他为他所热爱的国家所付出的努力甚至更加艰辛而久远。可能我们当中的很多人甚至都无法想象，麦凯恩议员从何时便开始为我们的国家奉献自己，而我们却早已享受到了这位勇敢无私的领导者为国家所做出的贡献。对于他和佩林所付出的努力，我表示衷心的感谢，同时我也期待着，能够和他们一同努力，共同实现我们这几个月来所做出的承诺。

我要感谢我的竞选伙伴，新当选的美国副总统乔·拜登，这一路走来，他始终遵循着自己内心深处的那个声音，他始终代表着那些和他一起在斯克兰顿街边长大，一起坐着火车回到故乡特拉华州的人们的声音。如果没有过去这16年来挚友的支持，没有稳定的家庭和对生活的爱，没有我们国家的下一位第一夫人，米歇尔·奥巴马，今晚我将不可能站在这里。萨莎和玛丽亚，我爱你们，你们已经得到了一只新的小狗，它将和我们一起入住白宫。还有我的祖母，虽然她已经不能和我们一起分享这一刻，但是我知道，她正和我的家人一起，注视着我，陪我经历着这一刻。我不会忘记，是他们养育我成人，今晚我是如此的想念他们，我知道，我所亏欠他们的，是永远无法报答的恩情。对我的竞选负责人大卫?普罗菲，我的首席战略家大卫·亚克瑟罗德以及有史以来最优秀的竞选团队，我想对你们说的是——是你们成就了今天的一切，我将永远感激你们所付出的这一切。但是，最重要的是，我将永远不会忘记，这个胜利是真正属于你们的！

我一直都不是最有希望的那个候选人，一开始的时候我们便没有那么多的资金或支持。我们的竞选之路并不是从华盛顿的高楼礼堂中开始的，它从德梅因的后院、协和酒店的客厅以及查尔斯顿的门廊中迈出了第一步。

它由那些需要从自己有限的存款中拿出5美元、10美元和20美元的工人们建立起来；那些摒弃了他们那一代人冷漠神话的年轻人，那些远离家乡亲人在外打拼却只能赚得微薄工资的人们，那些抵抗着刺骨的寒冷和灼人的炎热敲响了陌生人家大门的人们，是你们给了它成长的力量；数以百万计的美国人民自愿组织起来，他们想要去证明两个多世纪之后，一个由人民组成的政府，一个属于人民的政府，一个为了人民的政府是不会从地球上消亡的，这就是属于你们的胜利！

我知道，你们这样做并不只是想赢得一场选举，我也知道，你们这样做并不是为我一个人。你们这样做，是因为你们了解前方的任务是如何的艰巨。甚至就在我们庆祝的同时，我们也清楚地明白，明天将要面临的挑战是多么巨大——两大战争，一个处于危险中的星球，本世纪最严重的经济危机。就在我们站在这里的同时，我们清楚地知道，还有许多勇敢的美国人正在伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的群山中醒来，为了我们而冒着生命的危险。还有许许多多的父母们，只有在自己的孩子入睡后才能躺下，他们为房子的贷款和医院的账单还有孩子们的学费而发愁。放心，我们会注入新的能量，创造新的就业机会，建设新的学校，面对威胁与挑战，修复我们的联盟。

前方的道路还很漫长。我们所面临的山峰是险峻的。或许一年甚至很长一段时间我们都无法攀上峰顶，但是美国——我从来没有像今晚这样坚信，我们最终一定会到达。我向你保证——我们的民族最终会到达山顶的。

也许会有挫折坎坷，作为总统我所做出的决定和政策必定会遭到一些人的反对，而我们也知道政府不能够解决所有问题。但是我将会诚实地告诉你们我们所面对的挑战。我会耐心倾听你们的心声，尤其是在遇到分歧的时候。而最重要的是，我将会让你们加入到重建我们国家的队伍当中来，沿着美国这221年来一直所走的那条道路——一块块砖瓦，一双双手，一点点堆砌出我们的家园。

21个月之前的那个冬天所开始的，不会在这个秋天的夜晚结束。这个胜利本身并不是我们所要找寻的改变——这只是一个改变的机会。如果我们回到老路上，那么一切都不会得到改变。没有你们，这一切也不会得到改变。

那么，就让我们重新召唤起爱国主义、公仆之心以及国家责任的精神来，每个人都参与其中，一起努力，不单只是关心自身，而是互相照顾。让我们记住这场经济危机所教会我们的一点，如果主街道遭受了打击，那么华尔街也不可能幸免——在这个国家，我们作为一个民族，一个整体，同存亡共荣辱。

让我们摒弃掉那些长久以来一直危害我们的政治生活的那些幼稚琐碎的党派之争。让我们记住，是这个国家的人第一次将共和党的横幅挂在了白宫之上，而共和党的建立便是基于对自力更生、独立自由和国家统一价值的肯定。这一价值是我们所共享的，即便民主党今晚赢得了大选，我们也会怀着谦虚的心态，去消除这一分歧和隔膜。在面临着比今天更严重的国家分裂时，林肯说过，“我们不是敌人，而是朋友。。我们友情的纽带，或会因情绪激动而绷紧，但决不可折断。”而对于那些我还没有赢得支持的选民们——也许我还没有赢得你们的选票，但是我听到了你们声音，我需要你们的帮助，而我也同样是你们的总统。对于那些远在大洋彼岸的，在国会和皇宫中，在我们这个世界被遗忘的角落中围在收音机旁关注着大选之夜的人们——我们的故事是不同的，但是我们的命运却是紧紧连在一起的，美国领袖新的一天的黎明即将到来。对于那些会将世界四分五裂的人们，我们将打败你们，对于那些渴求和平和安全的人们，我们将支持你们。而对于所有那些想知道，自由女神像手中的火炬是否还会依旧闪耀光芒的人们，今晚我们再次证明了，我们民族的真正实力并不只是来自于武力和财富，而是来自于我们理想的力量：民主，自由，机遇以及永不屈服的希望。

美国真正的天赋在于，它懂得改变。我们的联盟会不断完善自己。而我们已经取得的成就给了我们希望，让我们坚信我们能够并且即将取得成功。

这次选举拥有许多故事和数不清的第一次，它们将被世世代代流传。但是今晚在我脑海中一直浮现的，是亚特兰大一位女性选民。她就像成千上万的其他选民一样，排在队伍中喊出自己的心声，唯一不同的是——安·尼克松·库伯已经106岁了。她出生的时候正是奴隶制度解除之后；那时候还没有汽车和飞机；像她一样的人那个时候是没有选举权的，因为她是女人，还因为她皮肤的颜色。

但是今晚，我思考着她所经历的这一个世纪的美国——心痛和希望；斗争与进步；我们被告知我们不能做什么的时代，以及美国人的信条：是的，我们可以！

在那个女性不能发出声音的时代，在那个女性的希望被剥夺的时代，她看着她们站了起来，大声说出自己的想法，投出了自己的选票。是的，我们可以！当绝望和大萧条袭来的时候，她看到了一个民族通过新政、新的工作和新的共同目的感战胜了恐惧。是的，我们可以！

当炸弹在珍珠港爆炸，当暴政威胁这个世界的时候，她见证了一代人的强大，见证了民主得到了捍卫。是的，我们可以！

她见证了蒙哥马利汽车暴动，见证了塞尔玛大桥事件，遇到了那位来自亚特兰大的牧师，他告诉人们“我们终将会克服一切。”是的，我们可以！

人类登上了月球，柏林墙倒塌了，世界由于我们自身的科学和想象力被连接到了一起。而在这一年，在这次选举中，她的手指触摸到了屏幕，她投出了自己的一票，因为在美国经历了106年的变迁，经历了最好的与最坏的时代后，她了解美国是如何变化的。是的，我们可以！

美国，我们已经走了这么远，我们已经看到了这么多，但是仍然有许多事情等待着我们去做。那么今晚，让我们扪心自问——如果我们的孩子看到了下一个世纪；如果我的女儿也能够和安·尼克松·库伯一样幸运地活到了106岁，那么他们将会看到怎样的变化？我们又将会取得什么样的进步？

对于我们来说，这正是一个对这一疑问给出回答的机会。这是我们的时刻，这是我们的时代——让我们的人民重新回去工作，为我们的孩子打开机会的大门；积累财富，促进和平；重拾美国梦，重申基本的真象——相对于大多数而言，我们是独一无二的；当我们呼吸时，我们希望，在我们面对讥笑、怀疑以及别人对我们说我们不能的时候，我们将会用凝聚了人类精神的永恒信条作出回应： 是的，我们可以！

谢谢你们，愿上帝保佑你们，愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。

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.假如还有人不相信美国是一个不存在不可能的地方，还有人怀疑开国之父们的梦想依然在影响着我们这个时代，还有人质疑美利坚民主的力量，那么，他们的疑惑在今夜得到了解答。

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.在学校和教堂外面，人们排起了长长的队伍，人数之多在美国历史上前所未有。为了投上自己的一票，他们可以等待三个小时、四个小时。许多人是一生中第一次参加投票，因为他们坚信这一次必须有所变革，而他们的声音将举足轻重。

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.所有的人，无论年轻人还是老年人，无论穷人还是富人，无论民主党人还是共和党人，无论黑人还是白人，无论拉美裔还是亚裔, 无论同性恋者还是异性恋者，无论残疾人还是健康人，他们向全世界发出了同一个信息：我们从来不属于共和党的“红州”或者民主党的“蓝州”，我们属于美利坚合众国，现在如此，永远如此！

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.在如此漫长的时期内，曾经有如此众多的人们对我们说：对于我们的成功，我们应该淡漠，应该害怕，应该不相信。但是，历史之轮如今已在我们手中，历史之轮将又一次在我们手中驶向美好未来。

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.通往今夜的道路很漫长，但今夜终于来临。特殊的一天，特殊的一次大选，特殊的决定性时刻，美国迎来了变革。

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.刚才，我接到了麦凯恩参议员一个非常大度的电话。在这次竞选中，他作出了持久而艰巨的努力。为了这个他热爱的国家，他作出的努力更持久、更艰巨。他为美利坚做出的牺牲，超出了我们绝大多数人的想象。他是一位勇敢无私的领袖，正因为有了象他这样的服务，我们才生活得更好。我对麦凯恩参议员以及佩林州长的成绩表示祝贺。同时，我也期待着在未来与他们一起为振兴国家而共同努力。

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.我要感谢我的竞选搭档，一位全身心投入的男人——当选副总统乔•拜登。为了与他一起在斯克兰顿街道长大的人们，为了曾与他一起坐那趟回特拉华州火车的人们，他全心全意地竟选，他要为这些普通百姓代言。

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 next 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.6 我要感谢下一位第一夫人米歇尔•奥巴马。她是我家的中流砥柱，是我生命中的最爱。没有她在过去16年来的坚定支持，我就不可能今晚站在这里。我要感谢萨沙和玛丽雅，我太爱你们两个了，你们将有一条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入住白宫。我还要感谢已去世的外婆，我知道此刻她正在天上看着我。她与其它亲人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他们，我知道他们对我的恩情比山高，比海深。

To my campaign manager, David Plouffe;my chief strategist, David Axelrod;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.我要感谢我的竞选经理大卫•普鲁夫，感谢首席策划师大卫•阿克塞罗德以及整个竞选团队，他们是政治史上最优秀的竞选团队。你们成就了今夜，我永远感谢你们为今夜所作出的牺牲。But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是，我将永远不会忘记这场胜利真正归功于谁---是你们！

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.我曾经是最没有可能的候选人。起初，我们的资金不多，赞助人也不多。我们的竞选并非始于华盛顿的华丽大厅，而是起于德莫奈地区某家的后院、康科德地区的某家客厅、查尔斯顿地区的某家前廊。

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.这些劳动大众从自己的微薄积蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元，拿来捐助我们的事业。现在的年轻人曾被认为是冷漠的一代，但正是这些年轻人壮大了我们的声势。他们离开自己的家庭和亲人，拿着很少的报酬，起早摸黑地助选。上了年纪的人也顶着严寒酷暑，敲开陌生人的家门助选。无数的美国人自愿地组织起来，证明了在两百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。这是你们的胜利。

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 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.我知道你们这样做并不只是为了赢得一场大选，更不是为了我个人。你们这样做，是因为你们明白未来的任务有多么艰巨。今晚我们在欢庆，明天我们就将面对一生之中最为严峻的挑战－－两场战争、一个充满危险的星球，还有百年一遇的金融危机。今晚我们站在这里庆祝，但我们知道在伊拉克的沙漠里，在阿富汗的群山中，那些勇敢的美国人正在那里。为了我们，他们醒来后面对的是一个有生命危险的世界。这些士兵的父母会在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠，他们担忧的是如何偿还月供，如何支付医药费，如何存够今后孩子的大学费用。我们需要开发新能源，创造新的就业机会；修建新的学校；我们还要迎接挑战和威胁，并修复与盟国的关系。

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.前方的道路还很漫长，任务很艰巨。一年之内，甚至一届任期之内，我们可能都无法完成这些任务。但我从未像今晚这样对美国满怀希望，我相信我们会实现这个目标。我向你们承诺－－我们美利坚民族将实现这一目标！

There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as 7 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.我们会遇到挫折，会出师不利，会有许多人不认同我得某一项决定或政策。我们知道政府并不能解决所有问题，我会向你们坦陈我们所面临的困难。我会聆听你们的意见，尤其是在我们意见不同的时候。最重要的是，我会请求你们一起参与重建这个国家。用自己的双手，从一砖一瓦做起，这是美国立国221年以来的前进方式，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个月前那个隆冬所开始的一切绝不应在今天这个秋夜结束。我们所寻求的变革并不只是赢得大选，这只是给变革提供了一个机会。假如我们仍然按照现有方式行事，就没有变革。没有你们，就没有变革。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.让我们发扬新的爱国精神，树立新的服务意识和责任感；让我们每个人下定决心，更加努力地工作，彼此关爱；让我们牢记这场金融危机带来的教训：不能允许商业街挣扎的同时却让华尔街繁荣。在这个国家，我们属于同一民族，我们患难与共。

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.党派政治，琐碎狭隘，不成熟，长期以来这些东西荼毒了我们的政治。让我们牢记，当来自伊利诺伊州的一名男子首次将共和党的大旗扛进白宫时，伴随着他的是自强自立、个人自由、国家统一的共和党建党理念。这也是我们所有人都珍视的理念。虽然民主党今晚大胜，但我们态度谦卑，并决心弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧。

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.当年,林肯面对的是一个比目前分歧更深更大的国家。他说：“我们不是敌人，而是朋友……虽然激情可能褪去，但是我们的感情纽带不会割断。”对于那些现在并不支持我的美国人，我想说，虽然我没有赢得你们的选票，但我听到了你们的声音，我需要你们的帮助，我也将是你们的总统。

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.对于关注今夜结果的国际人士，不管他们是在国会、皇宫关注，还是在荒僻地带收听电台，我们的态度是：我们美国人的经历各有不同，但我们的命运相同，新的美国领袖诞生了。那些想要毁灭这个世界的人们，我们必将击败你们。那些追求和平和安全的人们，我们支持你们。那些怀疑美国这盏灯塔是否依然明亮的人们，今天晚上我们已再次证明：美国的真正力量来源并非军事威力或财富规模，而是我们理想的恒久力量：民主、自由、机会和不屈的希望。

For that is the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have 8 already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.这才是美国真正的精髓－－美国能够变革。我们的联邦会不断完善。我们已经取得的成就，将为我们将来能够并且必须取得的成就增添了希望。

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, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.这次大选创造了多项“第一”，诞生了很多将流芳后世的故事，但今晚令我最为难忘的却是一位在亚特兰大投票的妇女：安妮•库波尔。她和无数排队等待投票的选民没有什么差别，除了一点：她高龄106岁。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.在她出生的那个时代，黑奴制刚刚结束。那时路上没有汽车，天上没有飞机。当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票－－一第一因为她是女性，第二个原因是她的肤色。

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，我想到了安妮在美国过去一百年间的种种经历：心痛和希望，挣扎和进步，那些我们被告知我们办不到的年代，以及我们现在这个年代。现在，我们坚信美国式信念──是的，我们能！

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.妇女曾经没有发言权，她们曾经希望破灭。但安妮活到了今天，看到了妇女们站了起来，她们发表自己的见解，有了选举权。是的，我们能。

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.上世纪三十年代，大萧条横扫美国大地，一片绝望。她看到了美国以新政、新的就业机会以及崭新的共同追求战胜了恐慌。是的，我们能。

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.二战时期，炸弹降临我们的海港上空，全世界受到独裁专制的威胁，她见证了美国一代人的伟大崛起，他们拯救了民主。是的，我们能。

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.她看到了蒙哥马利通了公共汽车、伯明翰接上了水管、塞尔马建了桥。来自亚特兰大的一位传教士告诉人们：我们能！。是的，我们能。

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.人类登上了月球、柏林墙倒下了，科学和想像把世界连了一块。今年，在这次选举中，安妮的手指轻触电子屏幕，投下自己的一票。她在美国生活了106年，其间有最美好的时光，也有最黑暗的时刻，她知道美国能够变革。是的，我们能。

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 next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made? 美利坚，我们已经一路走来，我们已经看到了那么多变化，但我们仍有很多事情要做。今夜，让我们问自己这样一个问题：假如我们的孩子能够活到下一个世纪；假如我们的女儿有幸与安妮一样长寿，她们将会看到怎样的改变？我们又取得了怎样的进步？

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 9 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.现在，我们有了回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻，我们的时代。让我们的人民重新就业，为我们的孩子打开机会的大门；恢复繁荣，促进和平；让美国梦重放光芒，再证这一重要的真理，那就是：团结一致，众志成城；一息尚存，希望就在；倘若有人嘲讽我们不能，怀疑我们能，那么我们就以这一永恒信条回应，因为它凝聚了整个民族的精神——是的，我们能！

Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.谢谢大家！愿主保佑你们，保佑美利坚合众国。

Hello, Chicago.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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.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.We are, and always will be, the United States of America.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.Watch Obama's speech in its entirety »

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.A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.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.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.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 next first lady Michelle Obama.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.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.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.And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best 11--the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.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.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.It belongs to you.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 $5 and $10 and $20 to the 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.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.This is your victory.And 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 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.There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.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.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 the government can't solve every problem.12 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.What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot 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 can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.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.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's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.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.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.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 tonight, 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 the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.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.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.13 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 except for one thing: Ann Nixon 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, 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 next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon 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 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.Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.

第四篇：obama演讲稿

Good evening.Tonight I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children.晚上好，今晚，我可以向美国人民和世界报告，美国实施的一项行动击毙了基地组织头目拉登，这名恐怖分子谋杀了数千名无辜的男人、女人和儿童。

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory.Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky, the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground, black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon, the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more heartbreak and destruction.十年之前，九月份阳光明媚的一天因为美国历史上所遭受的最严重恐怖袭击而黯谈下来，911的景象成为我们国家记忆的一部分，被劫持飞机刺过无云的九月天空，世贸双塔轰然倒地，五角大楼冒出股股黑烟，宾夕法尼亚州尚克斯维尔93号航班的残骸，飞机上勇敢的公民避免了更多的心碎和破坏。

And yet, we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world, the empty seat at the dinner table, children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father, parents who would never know the feeling of their child's embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.我们知道最糟糕的景象是世界并未看到的景象：餐桌前的空椅子，儿童被迫在没有父亲或者母亲的情况下长大。父母们将永远不会知道他们孩子拥抱的情感。近3000名公民在恐怖袭击中丧生，这使我们深感悲痛。

On September 11th, 2001 in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.2011年9月11日，在我们的悲伤时刻，美国人民团结在一起。我们向我们的邻居伸出手，我们向伤者献血。我们重申了我们之间的联系。

On that day, no matter where we came from, what god we prayed to, or what race or ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.在那一天，不管我们来自哪里，不管我们的宗教信仰如何，或者我们是什么种族或者民族，我们是团结的美国大家庭的一部分。

We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda, an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocence in our country and around the globe.我们在保护我们的国家、将实施这一邪恶袭击的肇事者绳之与法方面也团结一致。我们很快获悉，911恐怖袭击是基地组织所为，这个组织由拉登领导。该组织公然向美国宣战，致力在美国和全世界各地杀害无辜者。

And so we went to war against al Qaeda, to protect our citizens, our friends and our allies.所以我们开始了与基地组织的战争，以保护我们的公民、我们的朋友、我们的盟友。

Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we've made great strides in that effort.We've disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban government which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven and support.And around the globe, we've worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.在过去十年，由于我们军人和我们反恐专业人员毫不疲倦的和勇敢的工作，我们在反恐方面取得了重大进展。我们已挫败了恐怖分子的袭击，加强了我们的国土防御。在阿富汗，我们推翻了给拉登和基地组织庇护和支持的塔利班政府。在世界各地，我们与我们的朋友和盟国合作，抓获或者击毙了数十名基地组织恐怖分子，其中包括参与策划911恐怖袭击的数名恐怖分子。

Yet, Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat his network.不过，拉登仍然在逃，他从阿富汗边境进入了巴基斯坦。与此同时，基地组织仍然在巴阿边境活动，通过其附属组织在全球各地活动。

所以，在我上任后不久，我指示中情局局长帕内塔将击毙或者抓获拉登列为我们打击基地组织的最优先事务，即便是在我们在继续更广泛的努力以挫败、清除和击败基地组织行动的情况下。

Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan.And finally last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.去年八月，在经过我们情报部门的艰苦努力后，我得到了一个有关拉登线索的汇报。情报并不非常确凿，花了数个月的时间来跟进这个线索。我多次会见了我的国家安保团队，我们获得了更多的情报，这些情报表明我们可能已确定拉登隐藏在巴基斯坦境内的一个院落里。我上周决定我们已掌握了足够的证据来采取行动，我授权采取行动抓捕拉登，将其绳之与法。Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda.今天，根据我的指令，美国发动了针对巴基斯坦阿巴特巴德一座建筑物的定点清除行动。一个美军突击组以无比的勇气和能力遂行了此次突击行动。行动中没有美国人受伤。他们注意避免平民伤亡。经过交火，他们击毙了奥萨马-本-拉登，并获得了他的尸体。在过去20年，本-拉登一直是基地组织的头目和标志，对我们国家、我们的朋友和盟友阴谋发动袭击。本-拉登被击毙是我们国家打击基地组织的最重大胜利。

Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There's no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.然而，本-拉登被打死并不意味着我们的努力已经终结。毫无疑问基地组织会继续对我们发

动攻击。我们必须，我们也会在国内外保持警惕。

I've made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam, because bin Laden was not a Muslim leader.He was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own.So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.如我们所做，我们必须再次重申美国现在没有，将来也不会同伊斯兰世界开战。如同911事件后不久布什总统所言，我已经澄清，我们的战争并非针对伊斯兰世界。本-拉登不是穆斯林的领袖，他是穆斯林的屠杀者。事实上，基地组织在许多国家杀害了大量穆斯林，也包括我们美国。因此他的死亡会受到所有相信和平和人类尊严的人的欢迎。

Over the years, I have repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we've done.But it's important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.过去多年间，我反复声明一旦知道本-拉登的藏身之地，我们将会在巴基斯坦境内采取行动。我们就是这样做的。同巴基斯坦的反恐合作帮助我们找到本-拉登和其藏身的处所，指出这一点是重要的。事实上，本-拉登也对巴基斯坦宣战，下令对巴基斯坦人民发动袭击。

Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.今晚，我同巴基斯坦总统扎尔达里通了电话，我的团队也同巴基斯坦同仁进行了沟通。他们同意对两国而言，这是一个有历史意义的好日子。巴基斯坦同我们合作共同打击基地组织及其分支是最根本的。

The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me every time I, as commander-in-chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who's been gravely wounded.美国人民没有选择这场战争，而是战火烧到了我们的国家，以无情地屠杀我们的民众为发端。经过近十年的服务、斗争和牺牲，我们深知战争的代价。每当作为总司令的我签署致丧失挚爱亲人的家庭的信件时，或凝视一名重伤的军人的双眼时，我深深感到了为反恐所做努力的分量。

So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet, as a country, we will never tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda's terror: Justice has been done.因此，美国人理解战争的代价。作为一个国家，我们不会容忍我们的安全受到威胁，或者我们的人民被杀害时还无所事事。我们将为保护我们的人民、朋友和盟友而不懈努力。我们将坚持所信奉的价值观。在像今天一样的夜晚，我们能够向那些因基地组织恐怖活动而失去挚爱亲人的家庭说一声：正义得以伸张。

Tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who have worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work or know their names, but tonight they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of

justice.今晚，我对无数的情报和反恐专业人士表示感谢，正是他们不知疲倦地工作才取得了这一重大成绩。美国人民无法看到他们的工作，也不知道他们的姓名。但是今晚，他们为他们的工作感到满意，为他们追求正义终有结果感到欣慰。

We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they're a part of the generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.我对那些开展突袭行动的人表示感谢，他们以专业、爱国和无比的勇气成为我们国家军人中的典范。而且他们是911之后负担最重一代人中的成员。

Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.最后，我想对那些在911事件中失去挚爱亲人的家庭说，我们从没有忘掉你们的苦痛，而且我们采取一切措施防止美国境内发生另一起恐怖袭击的决心从未动摇。

And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.今晚，回想911事件刚发生后，美国人民团结一致。我知道，美国的团结程度有时会减弱。但是今天的成就证明了美国的伟大和美国人民的决心。保卫我们国家的安全的事业并未完结。今晚，事实再次提醒我们，美国一旦决定去做一定能做成任何事情。这也是我们的历史所证明的，不管是人民追求繁荣发展，还是全体公民追求平等；决心在国外传播我们的价值观，抑或为使全世界更为安全所做的牺牲。

Let us remember that we can do these things, not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.让我们铭记，我们能做成这些事情并不是因为我们的财富或权力，而是因为我们是上帝之下一个不可分割的国家，在这里，人人享有自由和正义。

Thank you.May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.谢谢，愿上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美国。

第五篇：Obama父亲节演讲

“Obama's speech in the Father's Day” 英文版

Today, this day reminds us that we depend on to create the cornerstone of life, the most important thing is family.We must recognize, and certainly the cornerstone of every father to play a key role.His father, patience, and coaching, both direction, and words and deeds.Father is a successful example, but also continue to promote the success of our people.But if we open and injustice, will not admit too many fathers in their place------too many children's lives where, in too many families, the father of this role is missing.The expense of their home responsibilities, acting like the little boy, not man.The basis of our many family and therefore become weak.In speaking these words, I knew that I am not a perfect father-------I know I made mistakes, but the future will make mistakes;I hope to have more time than it is now at home, accompanied by his wife and children, but can not do.All I know, but still have to say this.Because even though we are not perfect, even though we face the difficulties, but still there are some lessons we must strive to experience as a father, to sum up the--------whether we are black or white, rich or the poor, from poor South or from wealthy suburbs.The first lesson is that we must make to their children an excellent

example-------because if we have high expectations for them, we too, should aim high.You have a job is a good thing, there is a college diploma is good enough.If you are getting married, children around the knee, that could not be better, but not the entire weekend at home watching ESPN Sports “sports center.” Many children is under the influence of this growing up near the TV.As a father, as parents, we should spend more time with their children and help them complete their studies, from time to time their TV remote control into the hands of the game or a book.This is the way we lay the cornerstone of the family.We understand that education is the key to creating children's future.We understand that in order to obtain good jobs, they compete with children around the world.We appreciate the hard work required for this purpose,learning and should reach the level of education.To truly compete, they need to graduate high school, then college, and perhaps have to take a

postgraduate diploma.We shook their hands, that they moved his ass in the library's seat now!

Bring this idea of excellence instilled into the child's mind, it rely on us as fathers and parents.We have a responsibility to tell our daughters, do not let your own values affect the image of being on television, because I expect you to dream without limit, expect you to pursue those dreams.We have a

responsibility to tell our son, although the radio songs glorified violence, but in my house, we celebrate achievements, self-esteem and hard work.We have the responsibility to these expectations, it means that we ourselves must also meet these expectations, we have to do in life, a remarkable example.The second experience was as a father, we should identify with the values passed to the child.Not sympathy, but empathy------to put themselves for the sake of others, see the world from the perspective of others.Sometimes we are so easily obsessed with the “we” word, should forget our obligations to each other.Our society has a cultural concept, keep in mind that these obligations is a sign of weakness--------we should not look weak, so we should not be people that care.However, our young children or children---------------girls will observe this.They will see you ignore his wife punched and kicked, they will observe your selfish, so at school or in the street to see the same behavior behavior is not surprising.This requires that we must lead by example, to have empathy with people and pass to our children.We need to set an example to the children, tell them stronger than other people down, but to help others up.This is why we should take responsibility as a father.We should take these practices to our children a solid foundation.But we should also understand that even if we did, even if we do as fathers and

parents to the obligations, even if our government has fulfilled its duties, we will encounter in life are still many difficult challenges.We will still be struggling with the painful days, rain will still be hit.Therefore, we concluded as a father should be the last experience, we can give children is the most precious gift is hope.We hope not words of hope, not the kind of blind optimism, or is the problem faced by the willful neglect.I say hope is the kind of misery in the inner spirit-------Even if all the signs are not optimistic that this spirit we believe a better future waiting for us, as long as willing to work for the the struggle.As long as we have this conviction.We try, we hope, we try to put our house in the most solid foundation to build on.When the wind blows, when the rain when the storm hit our house, we firmly believe that God will guide us, watching us, protect us, to lead his children through the darkest of the hurricane, to a bright bright future.This is Father's Day today, this day I do pray for everyone, which I hold the future of the country's hope.《奥巴马在父亲节的演讲》中文版

今天这个日子提醒我们，在我们缔造生活所依赖的基石中，最为重要的是家庭。我们必须认识并且肯定每一位父亲在基石中起到的关键作用。父亲既循循善诱，又训练指导，既指明方向，又言传身教。父亲是成功的榜样，又是不断推动我们走向成功的人。

但如果我们开诚不公，就会承认还有太多的父亲不在其位------在太多孩子的生活里，在太多的家庭里，父亲的这一角色是缺失的。他们置责任于不顾，表现得像小男孩，而不是男子汉。我们许许多多的家庭的基础也因此变得薄弱。

在讲这些话时，我心里明白，我不是一个完美的父亲-------我知道我犯过错，而且未来还会犯错；我希望能有比现在更多的时间待在家里，陪伴妻子儿女，可是无法做到。所有这些我都明白，却仍然要这样讲。是因为纵然我们不完美，纵然我们面临重重困难，却依然有一些经验教训，是我们身为人父必须努力经历、努力总结的--------不管我们是黑人或白人，富人或穷人，来自贫穷的南区或来自富裕的郊区。

第一个经验是，我们必须给子女做出一个绝佳的榜样-------因为我们如果对他们抱有厚望，我们自己也应该志存高远。你有工作是件好事，有个大学文凭好上加好。如果你结婚成家，儿女绕膝，那再好不过，但不要整个周末在家里看ESPN体育台的“体育中心”。许多孩子就是在这样的影响下傍着电视机长大的。作为父亲，作为家长，我们应该花更多的时间陪伴孩子，帮助他们完成学业，时不时地把他们手中的游戏机或电视遥控器换成一本书。这就是我们打好家庭基石的方法。

我们明白教育是创造孩子未来的关键。我们明白为了获得好的工作，他们跟世界各地的孩子竞争。我们明白为此所需的辛劳、学习和应达到的教育水平。要想真正参与竞争，他们需要高中毕业，然后大学毕业，也许还得拿一张研究生文凭。让我们握握他们的手，叫他们把屁股挪到图书馆的座椅上吧！

要把这种追求卓越的理念灌输到孩子的头脑，就得靠作为父亲和家长的我们。我们有责任告诉我们的女儿，别让你的自身价值被电视上的形象影响，因为我期望你的梦想无极限，期望你去追求这些梦想。我们有责任告诉我们的儿子，虽然收音机里的歌曲美化了暴力，但在我的家里，我们歌颂成就、自尊和辛勤的劳动。我们有责任提出这些厚望，那就意味着，我们自己也必须达到这些期望，我们在生活中也要做一个卓越的榜样。

第二个经验是，作为父亲，我们应该传递给孩子感同身受的价值观。不是同情，而是感同身受------能设身处地地为他人着想，能从别人的角度看世界。有时候我们是那么容易地执着于“我们”二字，忘了我们相互之间应该承担的义务。我们的社会有一种文化观念，认为牢记这些义务是一种软弱的表现--------我们不应该显得软弱，因此我们不应该对人表示关爱。

但是，我们年轻的孩子们-------孩子或女孩子--------会观察到这一点。他们会看到你对妻子置之不理拳打脚踢，他们会观察到你的自私，所以在学校或在街上看到同样举止行为是不足为奇的。这就要求我们必须以身作则，把感同身受和与人为善也传递给我们的孩子。我们需要给孩子做出榜样，告诉他们强者不是把别人击倒，而是把别人扶起来。这就是我们作为父亲应该负起的责任。

我们应该采取这些作法，为我们的孩子打下坚实的基础。但我们也应该明白，即使我们做到了，即使我们作为父亲和家长尽到了应尽的义务，即使我们的政府也履行了职责，我们在生活中仍然会碰到许多艰难的挑战。我们仍然会有挣扎与痛苦的日子，风雨仍然会袭来。

因此，我们作为父亲应该总结最后一个经验，也就是我们可以送给孩子最为贵重的礼物，就是希望。

我们的希望不是空谈的希望，不是那种盲目的乐观主义，或者是对所面临问题的有意忽视。我讲的希望是那种长存于内心的精神-------即使所有的迹象都不乐观，这精神也让我们坚信有更好的未来在等待我们，只要愿意为之努力，为之奋斗。只要我们有这个信念。

我们尝试，我们希望，我们尽力把我们的房子建在最坚实的基石上。当风吹时，当雨打时，当风雨侵袭我们的房子时，我们坚信上帝会引导我们、注视我们、保护我们，引领着他的孩子们穿过最黑暗的暴风骤雨，走向光明的美好未来。这就是今天父亲节这个日子我为大家所做的祈祷，也是我对国家未来所抱的希望。
