第一篇:奥巴马胜选演讲词(中国新闻网)
谢谢,非常感谢。今晚,是在一个殖民地赢得它自主权200多年之后,我们来到这里,不断前行,这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望,实现移民想的梦想,我们是一个大家庭,我们共同以一个国家,一个民族奋斗。
我要感谢每位参加这次选举的人,不管你是从第一天就投票了,还是一直等待了很长的时间才投的票。当然了,我们要解决这个排队投票的问题。不管你是自己上门投的票,还是打电话投的票,不管你是投了给我,还是投给罗姆尼,你的声音都被大家听到了,并且你对我们国家做出了某些改变,刚刚我跟罗姆尼通了电话,我祝贺他在这个艰难卓绝的战役当中所取得的胜利。
我们这场战役是十分激烈,但是这正是因为我们深爱着这个国家,并且我们十分在意他的未来。从罗姆尼整个家庭,孙子辈,孩子辈,整个家庭都献给了美国,这种精神我们将永远铭记。未来这几周我也希望和罗姆尼一起来讨论怎么样使我们的国家不断前进。我要感谢我的朋友,我的搭档,这是我四年来最好的搭档,也是美国历史上最好的副总统John baidn(音,校对)如果没有他,今天我就不会站在这里,如果没有20年前跟我结婚的妻子,今天我就不会站在这里。我要跟大家说,妻子,我比以前更加爱你,我更加自豪,因为我看到全国人民也十分热爱你这位第一夫人,我感到十分自豪。
对我的女儿,两位女儿,你们一天天在成长,你们成为了两位向你们的妈妈一样的淑女、美丽,有才华,我也为你们感到骄傲,但是目前我觉得给你们养一条宠物狗就够了。我还要感谢我的竞选团队和志愿者,他们是历史上最棒的。他们是最好的,最棒的,而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次来听我的演说,有些人四年前就听了我的获胜演说,但是每个人对我来讲都是我的一分子,不管你做了什么,不管你去了哪里,你一定会记得我们今天晚上所创的历史,你会一生都感激今天晚上的时刻,而且你们会一直记得有一个心怀感激的总统,我要感谢你们所做的每一件事情,正是因为有了你们,我才会一路坚持下来。我对此将永远感谢,不管你做的什么,你们所做的一切我都心怀感激,并且永远鸣谢。
我知道这些政治的竞选,可能有的时候看起来很愚蠢,而且我们也听到很多人跟我们讲政治有的时候十分愚蠢,可能他只是利益的追求和冲突,但是如果你们真的有机会去机会和竞选活动上和人们谈论一些问题,或者你看到一些竞选团队,非常辛勤工作的志愿者们,你们的印象会有所改观,因为你们能听到这些年轻的组织者他们的决心,你能够看到他们在面临这个机会的时候,是有多大的决心。你还会听到群众,还有志愿者,他们上门挨家挨户的进行竞选。你也会听到我们深深的爱国情绪在针对的成员的爱国情绪,因为我们相信那些曾经为我们国家抛头颅撒洒血的军队,他们不应该在工作上遇到任何问题,这就是为什么我们要进行大选。
这并不是一件小事实,这是至关重要的事。举足轻重的事,我们国家的民主,我们3亿人民的民主的情绪可能十分复杂,可能十分混乱,每个人可能都有自己的观点,每个人都有自己深深的信仰,但是在我们经过艰难时刻的时候,当我们做出艰难的抉择时,我们很自然会有冲突,会有情感的表达。但是我认为它不应当影响我们今晚的表现,我们有的争论是民主的象征,而且我们不应当忘记在世界上很多别的国家,他们都正在为自由言论,自由讨论民主这样的权利所奋斗,所努力。
尽管我们有许多不同,我们中的大部分对美国的未来都有共同的希望,我们希望我们的孩子能够上最好的学校,接受最好的教育,我们希望整个国家能够延续我们的遗产,促进科技的发展,就业的发展和商业的发展。我们希望孩子们不是负债累累,而是面对高质量的国家,他们不会受到恐怖力量的威胁。我们希望传递安全有尊严的国家,并且受别人尊重的国家,这个国家是由最强的军事力量所定义,并且最安全定义的过程。与此同时我们也希望自己的国家,有信心,并且能够不断推动每个人的自由、繁荣和发展,我们相信美国的慷慨,美国的宽容、包容,美国的自由和开放,我们将伸开双手迎接移民的美国人民,我们会欢迎他们的子孙后代来到美国。我们相信在芝加哥任何一个孩子都可以看到他的希望,在北卡州那些
想要成为科学家和医生的学生,想要成为工程师,甚至是总统的学生,这是我们共同要争取的未来,这是我们共同分享的愿景,这也是我们前进的方向。
我们有的时候会对于怎么样向前进有非常强烈的分歧,200年来,大家知道我们的进步一直不是直线的,也不是一帆风顺,我们伴随着很多分歧和不同,我们随着有很好的希望和梦想,但是很多时候我们要付出艰苦卓绝的努力才可以达到目标,我们也需要进行妥协才可以使国家前进。但是我们的共识是我们的起点,现在经济正处于复苏期间,我们的十年的战争也已经结束了,我们的竞选也已经将告尾声,不管我没有当选,我听到了你们的声音,你们使我成为最好的。
今晚,你投给的不是政治,而是我们的行动。但是因为大家,我们才能关注你们的工作,而不是我们的工作,而在未来的几个月当中,我会期待和我们两党的领导人一起来共同寻求那些我们只有共同努力才能解决的矛盾的问题,比如说我们的税法,我们的移民,我们的工作,还有我们对进口石油的依赖这些问题,我都会寻求各种解决之道。但是这不意味着你们的工作就结束了,我们所有的公民,所有的同胞们,你们不是说投了票就轻松了你们的任务就没有了,你们一定要问问自己,不是美国能为你们做什么,而是我能为美国做什么,我们要进行自我治理,自我约束,这是我们的原则,也是我们建国的理念。
我们这个国家是世界上最富有的国家,但是这并不是让我们每个人更富有,虽然我们的军队十分强大,但是我们的个人并不强大,我们的大学、我们的文化,虽然是全球最优秀的,但是却并不是说我们就是全球最优秀的。是因为我们是一个多民族的国家,多样性的国家,但是在这样多样性的国家当中我们有共同的愿景和共识,并且我们的子孙后代会给他们更多的公民和自由,我们的子女后代必将获得更多的尊严,更多的爱护和尊敬。而且相信子孙后代只有他们正直,他们爱国,辛勤劳动才会使我们的美国变得更为强大。
我今天晚上充满了希望,因为我看到我们这些美国劳动人民的精神,还看到了那些商业人士你们所做的工作,提供了很多工作机会,而且我还看到那些失业的人民得到了帮助,我看到战士们,他们再次征兵,而且我还看到战士们他们仍然守卫着我们的国家,因为他们也知道我们在支持着他们。我还看到新泽西纽约每个政党的领导人,都开始抛开他们的旗舰,来探讨怎么从桑迪中重建我们的家园。我们还看到俄亥俄州一个父亲说他有一个八岁的女儿,她的肺病使他的家庭一贫如洗,他们之前并没有得到医疗保障的保护,但是几个月之前他开始得到了医疗保险,这对他们来讲是非常好的消息。
我和这位父亲,还有他的女儿都见面了,他对于群众说,他对大家说,当他说的时候,在场所有的父母都落泪了,因为我们知道,他的女儿也可能是我们的女儿,我们都希望自己的孩子未来充满光芒,这是每个父母的希望,这是我身为总统引以为豪的。今晚尽管我们经历了这么多的困难,尽管我们经历了这么多的挫折,我对于未来却格外充满希望,我对于未来格外充满希望,对于美国格外充满希望,我希望大家延续这种希望,我这里讲的并不是盲目的乐观,指的是我们对未来的挑战,忽视未来的挑战,我也不是说的天真或者理想化的乐观的情绪,我真正的希望,不管我们遇到多少的挫折,多少的困难,只有我们内心坚定的希望,才是我们保持不断努力、不断斗争,不断勇往直前的力量来源。
我相信我们我们能在取得成就的基础上取得新的机会,为美国的中产阶级提供新的希望,我相信我们能够继续延续我们的建国者的承诺,不管你来自哪里,不管你的肤色是什么,不管你是黑人、白人,亚裔人,任何种族,不管你是同性恋还是非同性恋,不管你是贫困的还是富裕的,你可以在美国做你想做的一切,我们可以共同迎来这样的未来,因为我们对未来是充满了希望,我们有雄心壮志,我们赢得的不仅仅是这一个选举,而且是一个未来,是美国的未来,我们会一起赢得这场战役。而且上帝会引导我们走向这条道路,并且我们相信,我们会成为世界上最伟大的国家,谢谢你们,上帝保佑美国!
谢谢,非常感谢各位。今晚,是在一个曾经的殖民地在赢得自己主权200多年之后,我们来到这里,不断前行,这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望,实现移民的梦想。每一个人都可以独立的争取自己的未来,我们将会作为一个国家共同起落。
今晚,在选举的过程当中,你们——美国的人民,让我们记得我们的道路是非常艰辛的,我们的道路是漫长的,我们重新站了起来,我们也从内心知道,美国还没有迎来最好的时代。
我想要感谢每一个参与选举的美国人。无论你们是第一次投票,还是(排队)等了很长的时间才投上一票——顺便说一下我会解决这个问题。无论你是自己去投票站投的票,还是打电话投的票;无论你是投给奥巴马,还是投给罗姆尼,你都是为我们国家带来转变的力量。
我刚刚同罗姆尼通过电话,我祝贺他和保罗·瑞安这次竞选所取得的成绩。我们的选战也许非常激烈,但这正是因为我们深爱着这个国家,并且我们十分在意它的未来。罗姆尼整个家庭,孙子辈,孩子辈,整个家庭都献给了美国,这种精神我们将永远铭记。几周之后我将会同罗姆尼坐在一起,讨论我们怎么样推动国家未来的发展。
我也感谢在过去四年辛苦奉献的搭档,也是美国最好的副总统,拜登先生。
我(之所以)成为现在的我,必须要感谢20年前与我结婚的女人。我想公开地表达:米歇尔,我从来没有像现在这样爱你!我为你感到非常非常的骄傲,我相信我们的国家也非常爱你,你是我们非常热爱的美国第一夫人。
萨莎和玛莉亚,我挚爱的女儿,你们两个是非常坚强也非常聪明的女性,就像你们的母亲一样,我对你们感到非常的骄傲,但是目前我觉得给你们养一条宠物狗就够了。
我还要感谢我的竞选团队和志愿者,他们是最好的,最棒的,而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次来听我的演说,有些人四年前就听了我的获胜演说,但是每个人对我来讲都是我的一分子,不管你做了什么,不管你去了哪里,你一定会记得我们今天晚上所创的历史,你会一生都感激今晚这个时刻,而且你们会一直记得有一个心怀感激的总统,谢谢你们一路以来对我的信任,我要感谢你们所做的每一件事情。正是因为有了你们,我才会一路坚持下来。我对此将永远感谢,不管你做的什么,你们所做的一切我都心怀感激,并且永远感谢。
我知道这些政治竞选,可能有时候看起来非常愚蠢,而且我们也听到很多人跟我们讲政治有的时候十分愚蠢,可能他只是利益的追求和冲突,但是如果你们真的有机会去和竞选活动上和人们谈论一些问题,或者你看到一些竞选团队,非常辛勤工作的志愿者们,你们的印象会有所改观,因为你能够看到他们有多大的决心。
一名大学生竞选活动组织者,他付出艰辛努力读完大学,而现在希望每一个孩子都能享有和他一样的机会。一名志愿者,言辞中藏不住骄傲,她挨家挨户助选拉票,只因哥哥终于找到工作,附近的汽车厂增加了班次给了他机会。一名军人的妻子在谈话中洋溢着爱国之情,她为助选打电话直到深夜,只是为了确保那些曾经为国家抛头颅洒热血的军人回家之后,无需再为一份工作、一个住处,再次走上“战场”。
这就是我们现在所做的一切,这就是政治的真谛,这才是大选如此重要的原因。这并不是小事情,这是大事情,是至关重要的事情。我们这个拥有3亿人口的国家,民主的情绪可能十分复杂,可能十分混乱,每个人可能都有自己的观点,每个人都有自己深深的信仰,在我们经历艰难时刻,做出艰难抉择时,我们很自然会有冲突,会有情感的表达,但是我认为它不应当影响我们今晚的表现。这些争论正是我们自由的基础,我们永远不会忘记我们说话的时候,许多国家的人民仍然在冒着风险,希望能够找到解决问题的方法,希望能够争取投票的权利。
尽管我们有很多的分歧,大多数人都对美国有共同的希望,我们都希望我们的孩子能够上最好的学校,有最好的老师;我们的国家成为技术以及创新方面的领袖,并且创造更多的就业岗位和更多的企业。我希望我们的孩子不是负债累累,不会受到恐怖力量的威胁。我们也希望我们的国家是安全的,在全球受到尊重和羡慕,并且拥有全世界最强大、最优秀的军队。同时我们的国家也应该是充满信心的国家,结束战争,重塑人类的和平。
与此同时我们也希望自己的国家,有信心,并且能够不断推动每个人的自由、繁荣和发展,我们相信美国的慷慨和包容,美国的自由和开放,我们将伸开双手迎接那些移民的子女来到美国。我们相信在芝加哥任何一个孩子都可以看到他的希望,在北卡州那些想要成为科学家和医生的学生,想要成为工程师,甚至是总统的学生,这是我们共同要争取的未来,这是我们共同分享的愿景,这也是我们前进的方向。
我们有的时候会对于怎么样向前进有非常强烈的分歧,200年来,大家知道我们的进步不是一蹴而就,也不是一帆风顺,我们伴随着很多分歧和不同。我们意识到我们有着共同的梦想,将会使我们结束僵局,努力的促成问题的解决。我们需要妥协,需要使我们国家的继续向前进,这样一种团结的力量是我们现在出发的基础。我们的经济正处于复苏期间,我们十年的战争也已经结束,我们的竞选也已经将告尾声,无论我是否赢得了你们的选票,我都倾听了你们的声音,我都从你们那里学到了很多东西,你们将会使我成为更好的总统。我将会记得你们的故事,你们的抗争,我将会更坚定的入主白宫,并且更坚定的完成未来的工作。
今晚,大家是为行动而不是为政治而投票,希望我们能够更关注你们的工作,而不是我的工作。在今后的几周,我将会与两党领袖会面应对我们的挑战,我们只能够共同应对挑战,减少我们的赤字,改善我们的移民体系,减少对外国石油的依赖,我们有很多工作要做。但是这不意味着你们的工作就结束了,在民主社会当中公民的作用并不因为投票而结束,你们
一定要问问自己,不是美国能为你们做什么,而是我能为美国做什么,我们要进行自我治理,自我约束,这是我们的原则,也是我们建国的理念。
美国是全球拥有最多财富的国家,但这并不是美国人民富有的真正原因。我们拥有最强大的军队,但这并不是我们强壮的真正原因。我们拥有最优秀的高等教育和文化成果,但这并不是吸引世界各国人民涌向美国的真正原因。美国之所以与众不同,是因为能够包容多元化的纽带将我们联系在一起,是因为我们相信彼此拥有共同的命运,是因为我们相信,只有为他人付出,互相帮助才能实现国家的进步,才能为后代创造更美好的未来。前人曾为自由奋斗甚至是献出生命,而只有负责任与权利的结合,只有爱、宽容、责任感及爱国之情能使我们更好地实现、维护这份来之不易的自由。这才是美国的伟大之处。
我今天晚上充满了希望,因为我看到美国劳动人民的精神,还看到了那些商业人士所做的工作,提供了很多工作机会,而且我还看到那些失业的人民得到了帮助,我还看到战士们仍然守卫着我们的国家,因为他们也知道我们在支持着他们。我还看到新泽西纽约每个政党的领导人,都开始抛开他们的歧见,来探讨怎么从桑迪风暴中重建我们的家园。
我们还看到,几天前,俄亥俄州一个父亲说他有一个八岁的女儿,女孩的白血病使他的家庭一贫如洗,他们之前并没有得到医疗保障,后来他们受利于几个月前刚刚通过的医改方案,使他们能够支付起医疗费。我和这位父亲,还有他的女儿都见面了,当他说的时候,在场所有的父母都落泪了,因为我们知道,他的女儿也可能是我们的女儿,我们都希望自己的孩子未来充满光芒,这是每个父母的希望,这是我身为总统引以为豪的。
今晚,尽管我们经历了这么多的困难,尽管我们经历了这么多的挫折,我对未来格外充满信心,我对美国格外充满希望,我希望大家延续这种希望,我这里讲的并不是盲目的乐观,指的是我们对未来的挑战,我也没有说天真或者理想化的乐观情绪,我真正的希望,不管我们遇到多少的挫折,多少的困难,只有我们有勇气保持不断努力、不断斗争,不断勇往直前。
我相信我们我们能在取得成就的基础上取得新的机会,为美国的中产阶级提供新的希望,我相信我们能够继续延续我们建国者的承诺,不管你来自哪里,不管你的肤色是什么,不管你是黑人、白人、亚裔人,任何种族,不管你是同性恋,还是非同性恋,不管你是贫困的,还是富裕的,你都可以来到美国实现你的梦想。
我相信,我们可以共同迎来这样的未来,因为我们对未来是充满了希望,我们有雄心壮志,我们赢得的不仅仅是这一个选举,而且是一个未来,是美国的未来。我们将会作为一个整体,是美利坚合众国,而不是分成蓝色或者是红色,上帝会引导我们走向这条道路。并且我们相信,我们会成为世界上最伟大的国家,谢谢你们,上帝保佑美国!
第二篇:2012奥巴马胜选演讲全文
奥巴马2012年胜选演讲---最美好的一切属于未来
Thank you.Thank you.Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny to perfect our union moves forward.(Applause)
非常感谢你们。今夜,在当年的殖民地赢得了决定自己命运的权利200多年以后,让美利坚合众国更加完美的任务又向前推进了一步。
It moves forward because of you.It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that triumphs over war a depression.The spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope.The belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams we are an American family and we will rise and fall together as one nation, and as one people.这一进程是因为你们而向前推进的,因为你们再次确认了那种使美国胜利克服了战争和萧条的精神,那种使美国摆脱绝望的深渊并走向希望的最高点的精神,以及那种虽然我们每个人都在追求自己的个人梦想、但我们同属一个美国大家庭、并作为一个国家和民族共同进退的信仰。
Tonight in this election you the American people reminded us that 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 for the United States of America the best is yet to come.(Applause)今夜,在此次选举中,你们这些美国人民提醒我们,虽然我们的道路一直艰难,虽然我们的旅程一直漫长,但我们已经让自己振作起来,我们已经发起反击,我们在自己内心深处知道,对美利坚合众国来说,最美好一切属于未来。
I want to thank every American who participated in this election.Whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time;by the way we have to fix that.(Applause)Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone.Whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.我想感谢所有参加此次选举的美国人,无论你是首次参加选举还是为投票曾长时间排队等候。顺便说一句,我们需要解决这些问题。无论你是到投票站投票还是发传真投票,无论你选的是奥巴马还是罗姆尼,你都让别人听到了自己的声音,你都让美国因你而不同。
I just spoke Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Congressman Ryan on a hard fought campaign.We may have battled fiercely, but it is only because we love this country deeply and we care so much about its future.From George and Lenore, to their son Mitt – the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through their public service and that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.我要对罗姆尼州长说几句话,我对他和保罗•莱恩在这次竞争激烈的选举中的表现表示祝贺。我们可能争夺得很激烈,但这仅仅是因为我们深爱着这个国家以及我们如 此强烈地关心着它的未来。从乔治到勒诺到他们的儿子米特,罗姆尼家族选择了通过公共服务来回报美国,那是一种我们今夜表示敬重和赞许的遗产。
In the weeks ahead I also look forward to sitting down with Gov.Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, Americas “happy warrior” the best Vice President anybody could ever hope for;Joe Biden.(Applause)我期待着今后 几周能与罗姆尼州长坐下来讨论一下我们可以从何处着手一起努力将美国推向前进。我想对
我在过去四年中的朋友和伙伴表示感谢。他就是美国的快乐战士、无出其右的最佳副总统乔•拜登。
And I wouldn't be the man today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago;let me 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.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're growing up to become two smart, beautiful young women just like your mom.(Applause)And I am so proud of you guys;but I will say for now one dog is probably enough.如 果不是那位20年前同意嫁给我的女性,我不会成为今天的我。请让我公开说出下面这段话:米切尔,我对你的爱无以复加,我无比骄傲地看到其他美国人也爱上了 你这位我们国家的第一夫人。萨沙和玛利亚,在我们所有人的见证下你们正成长为两个坚强、聪明和美丽的年轻女性,就像你们的妈妈一样。我十分以你们为荣。不过我要说的是,眼下家里养一条狗或许已经够了。
To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics.The best.The best ever.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 lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley, you lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you have done and all the incredible work that you've put in.在这个有史以来的最佳竞选团队和有史以来的最佳志愿者队伍中,你们有些人是这次新加入进来 的,有些人则是一开始就在我身边。但你们所有人都属于一个大家庭。无论你的工作是什么,无论你从哪里来,你们都将获得我们共同创造的历史记忆,你们都将被 一位充满感激之情的总统终生感激。感谢你们始终充满信心,无论是在高峰还是在低谷。你们鼓舞着我走完整个选举过程,我对你们所做的每件事、你们所做的每项 不可思议的工作将一直充满感激。
I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly, and that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics are 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 turned out at our rallies and crowded along the rope line at a high school gym, or saw folks working late at a campaign office at some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.我知道政治角力有时会显得小家子气甚至愚蠢。它为愤世嫉俗者提供了足够的口实,他们告诉我们政治不过是自 负者之间的竞争,是特殊利益集团的地盘。但如果你曾经有机会与参加我们集会的那些人以及高中体育馆内挤在隔离绳外的那些人攀谈,或者看到那些在远离家乡的 偏远小县的竞选办公室内加班工作的人,你会发现一些别的东西。
You'll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who's working his way through college and wants to make sure that every child has that same opportunity.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.You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who's working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job, or a roof over their head when they come home.你将从一位年轻的活动现场组织者的声音里听到他的决心,他边在大学里学习边 从事助选工作,他希望确
保每个孩子都能拥有同样的机会。你将从一位志愿者的声音里听到她的骄傲,她挨门动员选民是因为她哥哥终因当地一家汽车制造厂增加了 一个班次而有了工作。你将从一对军人夫妇的声音里听到深深的爱国情怀。他们深夜时还在接听选举电话,以确保那些曾经为这个国家作战的人不会返回家园时还要 为得到一份工作或栖身之所而苦苦争斗。
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 necessarily stirs passions, it stirs up controversy.That won't change after tonight and it shouldn't.These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty and 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, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.正因为如此,我们要进行选举。这是政治所能够实现的。正因为如此,选举很重要。这不是小事,而是大事,是至关重要的事。在一个有三亿人口的国家实行民主制 度可能嘈杂不堪、一团混乱、情况复杂。我们有自己的观点。我们每个人都有自己深信的信仰。当我们经历艰难时期,当我们作为一个国家做出重大决定时,这必然 会激发热情,也必然会引发争议.今晚过后,这都不会改变,也不应该改变。我们进行的这些争论恰恰体现了我们的自由。我们永远不应忘记,就在我们讲话之际,遥远国度的人们现在正冒着生命危险,仅仅是为了获得一个能够对重要问题进行争论、像我们今天这样投票的机会。
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 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 new jobs and new businesses that follow.不过,尽管我们存在这样那样的分歧,我们大多数人都对美国的未来有着某些共同的希望。我们希望我们的孩子成长的国家能够让他们上最好的学校、接受最好老师的教导。一个无愧于全球技术、探索和创新领袖光辉历史的国家,倘能如此,各种好工作和新企业将随之而来。
We want our children to live in America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality.That isn't weakened by the destructive power of a warming planet.(Applause)We want to pass on a country that is safe, 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 that will shape a peace that is built on freedom and dignity for every human being.我 们希望我们的孩子能够生活在一个没有债务之累、没有不公之苦、没有全球变暖带来的破坏之虞的美国。我们希望留给后代一个安全、受到全球尊重和赞赏的国家,一个由全球有史以来最强大的军事力量和最好的部队保卫的国家,一个满怀信心走过战争、在人人享有自由和尊严的承诺之上构建和平的国家。
We believe in a generous America.In a compassionate America.In a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrant’s daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag.To the young boy from the South Side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the street corner.TO the furniture workers child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor 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.我 们坚信一个慷慨的美国、一个富有同情心的美国、一个宽容的美国。美国向一位移民的女儿的梦想打开了大门,让她有机会在我们的学校学习、对着我们的国旗宣 誓;美国向芝加哥南部地区的一个小男孩打开了大门,让有机会他看到一个最近街角以外的远大人生;美国向北卡罗来纳州的一位家具工人的孩子打开了大门,让他 有机会实现自己当医生或科学家、工程师或企业家、外交官甚至是总统的梦想,这是我们希望的未来。这是我们共同的愿景。这是我们奔赴的方向,向前的方向。这 是我们需要实现的目标。
Now we will disagree, sometimes fiercely about how to get there – as it has for more than two centuries progress will come in fits and starts it's not always a straight line, it's not always a smooth path.By itself the recognition we have common hopes and dreams won't end all the gridlock, or solve all our problems or substitute for all the painstaking work for building our consensus or making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward.But that common bond is where we must begin.Our economy is recovering.A decade of war is ending.A long campaign is now over.And whether I earned your vote or not I have listened to you, I have learned from you and you've made me a better president and with your stories and your struggles I return to the White House more determined and more inspired about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.(Applause)
现在,我们对如何实现这一目标存在分歧,有时分歧还很严重。正如两个多世纪以来一样,进展的取得将是断断续续,并非总是一条直线,并非总是一帆风顺。承认我们拥有共同的希望和梦想,仅凭这一点不会结束所有的僵局,或解决我们所有的问题,或代替推动这个国家向前所需的达成共识和做出艰难让步的辛苦努力。不过,这一共同的纽带是我们必须开始的地方。我们的经济正在好转。长达10年的战争即将结束。一场漫长的竞选现已落幕。无论我是否赢得了你们的选票,我一直在倾听你们的故事,向你们学习,是你们使我成 为一位更好的总统。听过你们的故事和困难经历,我在重返白宫时对今后需要做的工作和未来将怀着比以往更坚定的决心和更大的热情。
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 tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We've got more work to do!今晚你们 把票投给了行动,而不是像以往投给了政治。你们选举我们来专注于你们的工作,而不是我们的工作。在未来的几周和几个月内,我将期待与两党领袖接触并合作,以便面对我们团结一致才能解决的问题。减少赤字,改革税法,修改移民制度,摆脱对外国石油的依赖。我们还很更多工作要做。
But that doesn't mean your work is done.The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote.America has never been about what can 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 is the principle we were founded on.但这并不意味着你们的工作就此结束。民主国家公民的角色并不随着投票完结而结束。美国看重的从来都不是能够为我们个人做些什么,而是我们团结一致通过自治这一艰难、令人倍感挫折但必要的工作能够实现什么。这正是我们的立国之本。
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 what
keeps the world coming to our shores.What makes America exceptional 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 except certain obligations to one another and the future generations so that the freedom which 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.*cheers* 美国的财富多于世界上任何其他国家,但真正让我们富有的并非金钱;我们拥有有史以来最强大的军力,但真正让我们充满力量的并非军队;我们的大学和文化为全世界所艳羡,但美国真正吸引各国人踏上这片土地的魅力也不在于此。真 正让美国与众不同的,是将这个地球上最多元化的国家的人民团结到一起的那些纽带。是我们共命运的信念,是只有当我们肩负某些对彼此以及对后代的责任美国才 能走下去的信念,是无数的美国人前赴后继为之奋斗的自由──它既赋予了我们权利,也给我们带来了责任;是爱、慈善、义务和爱国。正是这些让美国变得伟大。
I am hopeful tonight because I've seen the spirit at work in America.I have 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 reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALS that charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.今 晚,我满怀希望,因为我已经看到美国精神正在得以发扬。我看到有些家族企业,所有者宁可减少自己的薪酬也不愿让邻居丢掉工作;我看到有些工人宁愿缩减自己 的工时也不愿看到朋友没有活干;我看到有些士兵在失去一条腿或胳膊之后又选择再次入伍;我看到海豹突击队员不避危险冲上楼梯、冲入黑暗,因为他们知道有一个兄弟在做他的后盾。
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.(Cheers, applause.)And I saw it just the other day in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care.(Cheers, applause.)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's 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.(Cheers, applause.)在新泽西和纽约的海岸,我也看到了美国精神。每一个政党和各级政府的领导者都捐弃分歧,为在骇人风暴过后的废墟上重 建社区各尽己力。就在不久前的一天,在俄亥俄的门托,我看到一位父亲在讲述他8岁女儿的故事。这个女孩与白血病进行了长期的斗争,如果不是因为几个月前通 过的医改法案,保险公司就会停止支付医疗费用,他们的家庭就将失去一切。我曾有机会与这位父亲攀谈,不仅如此,我还见到了他的女儿,这个 非常了不起的小姑娘。当这位父亲向倾听他的故事的人讲述时,每一位在场的父母的眼里都含着泪水,因为我们知道,我们自己的孩子也有可能遇到这种状况。而且 我知道,每一位美国人都希望这位小女孩的未来能像所有人的未来一样光明。这就是美国人,这就是美国,我为自己能够成为这个国家的总统、带领这个国家前行感 到无比光荣。
And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been more hopeful about our future.(Cheers, applause.)I have 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.今晚,尽管我们遭遇了很多困难,尽管华盛顿有诸多不尽人意之处,我仍从未像现在这样对未来充满希望。我从未像现在这样对美国 充满希望。我请大家也保持这样的希望。我所说的并非盲目的乐观主义,不是那种看不到眼前的任务有多么艰巨、看不到前行的路上有什么样的障碍的希望;我所说 的并非作壁上观或是临战退缩的一厢情愿的理想主义。
I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside 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.我一直相信,所谓希望就是我们内心倔强地坚持的力量,相信不管有多少相反的证据,都要相信有更好的东西在等着我们,只要我们有勇气不断前行、不懈工作、不停战斗。
America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunities and new security for the middle class.I believe we can keep the promise of our founding, 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(ph).It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight.(Cheers, applause.)You can make it here in America if you're willing to try.国民们,我相信我们有能力在已经取得的进步的基础上再进一步,继续为了给中产阶级创造新的工作、新的机遇、新的保障而战斗。我相信我们有能力信守开国者们许 下的诺言,信守这样一种理念,那就是不管你是谁,不管你来自哪里,不管你长相如何,不管你爱着哪个地方,你所需要做的就是努力工作。不管你的肤色是黑是 白,不管你是拉美裔、亚裔还是美国原住民,不管你年轻还是年老,富有还是贫穷,身体健全或是残障,同性恋还是异性恋,只要你愿意努力,就能够在美国大有作为。
I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggest.We are not as cynical as the pendants 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 and together with your help and Gods grace we will continue to journey forward and remind the world what it is to live in the greatest nation on earth.我相信我们有能力共同握住这样的未来,因为美国人民并不像政界那么严重分歧。美国人民不像某些饱学之士所认为的那样愤世嫉俗。美国的抱负并不是每一个美国人的抱负的简单加总,美国也不是红州和蓝州的简单联合。我们是美利坚合众国,我们将永远是美利坚合众国。有你们的帮助,有上帝的仁慈,我们将继续携手前行,让全世界知道我们生活在全球最伟大的国度的原因到底是什么。
Thank you America.God bless us.God bless these United States.(Applause)谢谢你,国民们,上帝保佑你们,上帝保佑美国。
第三篇:2012奥巴马胜选演讲稿
2012奥巴马胜选演讲稿
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 tax code.Fixing our immigration system.Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We've got more work to do.今晚,你投给的是行动,而不是政治。你们的选择将成就你们的工作,而不是我们的。在接下来的几个星期几个月当中,我会期待和我们两党的领导人一起来共同寻求那些我们只有共同努力才能解决的矛盾的问题,缩减赤字,改革法案,修正移民法,拜托对进口石油的依赖。我们的路还很漫长
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 can 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.但是这不意味着你们的工作就结束了。服务于民主的责任并未因投票的结束而完结。美国的价值并不在于它为我们做什么,而是在于我们一起可以做什么。由我们艰难的和有时令人失望的,但又不可或缺的民主政府来完成。这是我们立国之根本。
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.我们比任何一个国家资源都丰富,但是这并不是我们富有的原因。我们有世上最无敌的军队,但是这并不是我们富有的原因。我们的大学、我们的文化,虽然是全球最优秀的,但这并不是世界人民争相投奔我们的原因。
What makes America exceptional 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 to future generations.The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights.And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism.That's what makes America great.是因为我们是一个多民族的国家,多样性的国家。我相信我们的命运紧紧相连,我相信国家的发展需要每个人都承担起各自的责任,对他人的责任,对下一代的责任。所以无数美国人为之战斗,为之献出自由。同时也意味着权力和责任,同时也意味着爱和仁慈,义务和国家情操。这才是美国伟大的原因。
第四篇:奥巴马胜选演讲稿
奥巴马:
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.如果还有人仍在怀疑美国是不是一个一切皆有可能的国度的话,如果还有人仍在疑虑我们的美国的缔造者的梦想是否还存在于我们这个时代的话,如果还有人仍在质疑我们民主的力量的话,今晚你就可以得到答案。
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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.这个答案可以从悬挂在学校和教堂的数量空前的竞选条幅上得到;这个答案可以从等待了三四个小时,有很多还是有生以来第一次经历来投票的人们身上得到,因为他们坚信这一时刻注定与众不同,而他们的声音可以成就这种改变。
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.这个答案可以从不论青年还是老年,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身上得到——他们向世界发出了这样的信息——
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我们从来不分红色之州和蓝色之州,我们永远都是统一的美利坚合众国。
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.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之轮上,将它再次转向充满希望的美好明天。
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.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,美国迎来了它崭新的一刻。
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.今天傍晚稍早些的时候,我接到麦凯恩参议员一个特别亲切的电话。
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长久。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。我祝贺他和佩琳州长取得的成就。
同时我也期待着能够和他们一同努力,共同延续这个国家对她的人民许下的承诺。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.我要感谢我的竞选伙伴,他始终遵循着自己内心深处的声音,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,新当选的美国副总统乔·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 next first lady Michelle Obama.如果没有过去这16年来一位挚友的支持,没有稳定的家庭,没有我一生的挚爱,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。
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.马莉娅和萨莎,你们很难想象我有多爱你们。现在你们可以带着宠物狗一起来到新的白宫了。
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.还有,虽然我的外祖母已永远离开了我们,但我知道她也正和所有成就我、支持我的家人们一样在看着我。我今晚非常想念他们,而且知道我欠他们的已经太多。
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.我的妹妹玛雅,我的妹妹玛雅和阿尔玛,我的所有其他的兄弟姐妹们,感谢你们给了我这么多的一切支持,我感谢他们。
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.还有我的竞选顾问大卫-Plouffe,此次竞选的无名英雄,我认为,是他打造了美利坚合众国历史上最好的-最好的政治运动。
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.感谢我的首席策略师大卫 阿克塞尔罗德,陪伴我走过向前迈进的每一步。
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.感谢历史上最好的竞选团队,是你们让今天成为可能,我会永远感激你们为了成就今天所做出的努力和牺牲。
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,我永远不会忘记这场胜利的真正所有者,胜利属于你们,胜利属于你们。
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.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.我从来不是最有可能当选的候选人。刚开始我们没有多少钱,也没有多少人支持或者为我们背书。我们的竞选团队不是在华盛顿的华美的宾馆大厅里组建的。它是在得梅因的后院,康科德的起居室里和查尔斯顿的门廊下组建的。这是那些从自己的微薄的积蓄中慷慨地捐出5美元,10美元和20美元的人缔造的事业。
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.这是由离开家从事更艰苦、收益更少的工作,摒弃了这一代人常有的冷漠的年轻人缔造的事业。
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.这是由那些不再年轻却用于在寒风酷暑中敲开完全是陌生人的家门的人们缔造的事业。上百万美国人志愿组织了这件伟大的事业,证明了即使是在两个世纪以后,一个民有、民治、民享的政府仍将永世长存。
This is your victory.这是你们的胜利。
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election.And I know you didn't do it for me.我知道你们并没有仅仅为了赢得一场选举而这样做。我也知道你们不是为了我而这样做。
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.你们这样做,是因为你们明白摆在面前的任务有多么的艰巨。即使我们今晚可以庆祝,我们仍要知道明天要面对的将是我们有生之年最艰难的挑战——两场战争,陷入危险的地球,一个世纪以来最严重的金融危机。
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.即使我们今晚站在这里,我们知道有很多勇敢的美国人在伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的山区为我们冒着生命危险。
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.我们知道有很多父母会在孩子们睡着以后仍然在为支付房租、医疗账单或孩子的学费发愁。
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.我们知道要开发新能源,提供更多的就业机会,建设新的的学校,面对新的的威胁,修复更多的伙伴关系。
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.未来的路还很长,而且我们正在艰难地攀登在陡峭的山坡之上。我们未必能够在一年或是在一个总统任期之内达到目标,但美国肯定可以。我从来没有像今晚这样自信:我们肯定可以达到目标。
I promise you, we as a people will get there.我向你们承诺,我们肯定可以作为一个民族达成我们的目标。
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.这一过程肯定还会出现挫折,甚至是不成功的开始。我作为总统所做出的决策,肯定也会有许多人并不赞同。我们也知道政府并不能解决所有问题。
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.但我也会向你们诚恳地交待我们所面临的挑战。我会认真听从你们的建议,尤其是意见不一致的时候。总之,我邀请你们加入到国家再建的工作之中。221年来,我们的国家就是这样一砖一瓦,一点一滴地建造起来的。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.我们既然开始于21个月前深冬,我们就不会在今年的这个秋天的夜晚结束。
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.我们所追求的改变并不仅仅是这次的胜利。这仅仅是我们开始改变的机会。而如果我们回到以前的老样子的话,改变就永远不会发生。
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.没有你,没有一种新的服务精神,新的牺牲精神,改变是不会发生的。
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,让我们拿出新的爱国精神和责任感,让我们每个人都全身心投入,更加努力的工作,不仅要关心自己,还要互相关照。
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.让我们记住,如果能从这个金融危机里吸取什么教训的话,那就是我们不能只有一个蓬勃发展的华尔街而美国的主干道却每况愈下。
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.我们作为一个民族与美国共兴衰。让我们抵制诱惑,不要回到长久以来毒害我们的政治的党同伐异与不成熟的行为中去。
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.让我们铭记,是这个州的人将共和党的旗帜扛进了白宫,这是一个将价值观建立在自信、个人自由以及国家团结基础上的政党。
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.我们所有人都信奉这一价值。虽然民主党今晚获得了巨大的胜利,但我们未来将用谦卑和决心来弥补竞选过程中产生的裂痕。
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.正如林肯所说,我们不是敌人,而是朋友。我们决不能成为敌人,尽管目前的情绪有些紧张,但决不能容许它使我们之间的亲密情感纽带破裂。
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.对于那些支持我的美国人,以及那些没有将选票投给我的人,我听到了你们的声音,我需要得到你们的帮助,而我也同样是你们的总统。
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 the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.还有对于所有在海外关注我们的人们,从身处广厦王宫,到偏远山区的人们,我们的故事虽然各不相同,但是我们的命运是息息相关的。新的美国就要来临。
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.告诉那些企图破坏这个世界的人:我们将打败你。告诉那些追求和平和稳定的人:我们支持你。对于所有那些疑惑美国的灯塔是否还会继续明亮地燃烧的人,今夜我们将再次证明,我们国家的力量并不是来源来我们的军队的强大,也不是来源于我们财富的丰裕,而是源自于我们理念的持久力量。这些理念包括:民主、自由、机会以及坚贞不屈的希望。
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.这才是真正的美国:美国会发生变化。我们的联盟可以更加完善。我们的成就让我们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 except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.这次选举有许多第一次,许多故事会代代相传。但是,我脑海里的故事却属于一个在亚特兰大投票的女人。她和其他排队等候投票的人没什么不同——只有一点:安 尼克松 库伯今年已经106岁了。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.她出生的时候,奴隶制刚刚废除不久;当时在道路上没有汽车,在天空中没有飞机;当时像她一样的人们由于两点原因不能参加投票:她的性别和她的肤色。
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.而今晚,当我想到她在这一个世纪里见到的美国——那些心痛,那些希望;那些拼搏,那些进步;那些我们被告知“不能”的年代,和那些坚守着美国梦的人们:是的,我们能做到。
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.当时妇女的声音被压制,她们的希望被忽视,她看到她们站起来,为投票权而奔走。是的,我们能做到。
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.当世界陷入恐慌和绝望中时,她看到了一个国家战胜了自己的恐惧,创造了新的机遇,新的工作,新的共同目标。是的,我们能做到。
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.当炸弹落在我们的港口里,当暴政威胁世界,她在那里目睹了一代人走向伟大,民主得以保存。是的,我们能做到。
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.人类登上了月球,柏林墙倒塌,她看到了一个由科学和幻想连接的世界。
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,在这次选举中,她用自己的手指触摸投票站的屏幕,投出了自己的一票。因为106年后,在美国的美好和困难的经历让她知道怎样可以改变美国。Yes we can.是的,我们能做到。
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 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?美国,我们已经来到了今天。我们已经看到这么多。但我们还有这么多事情要做。因此,今夜,让我们反问一下我们自己,如果我们的孩子能够活到下个世纪;如果我的女儿能够幸运地活得像安-尼克森-库珀那样长,他们将会看到什么样的变化?我们那时将会取得什么样的进步? This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.这是我们来回答问题的机会,这是我们的时刻。
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.这是我们的时代,要使我们的人民重新工作并将机会留给我们的子孙;重新恢复繁荣并促进和平;回归我们的美国梦想并重申一个基本事实--在众人之中,我们也是其中一个;当我们呼吸,当我们充满希望的时候,我们遭遇冷嘲热讽和质疑,那些人认为我们无法做到。我们将用一句话来做出回应:不,我们可以!
Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.谢谢大家。上帝保佑你们。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。

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 sixteen 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.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.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.(中文)
美国是否暗藏一切皆有可能的巨大潜力?美国是否已经实现开国者锻造的美国梦?民主信仰是否具有强大力量?如果还有人对此报以怀疑,那么今晚这里发生的一切就是答案。
学校旁、教堂边,无数人都在排队投票,这一情景我们已经多年未见;3个小时、4个小时,他们为此而等候良久,这是很多同胞有生以来的第一次。因为他们相信,这一次,将不同以往;这一次,因为他们的呼声而有所不同。
无论老少贫富,无论共和党抑或民主党,不管是黑皮肤、白种人、拉丁后裔、亚裔子孙还是本土美国人;无论性向如何,不管健康抑或残疾,所有的美国人民都向全世界传递出这样一条信息:我们从来都不是红蓝阵营的政治堆砌,我们是,而且永远是,美利坚合众国。长期以来,很多人缺乏信心,对自己所能取得的成就畏首畏尾、疑心重重。如今,我们走在历史的长河里,挺起胸膛,勾勒出美好明天的光辉画卷。
此情此景,等待尤长。然而,就在今晚,在这个大选的日子,在这个具有历史性意义的时刻,由于你们的付出,美国终于迎来了变革。
刚刚,我接到了麦凯恩参议员礼貌得体的祝贺电话。为了此次竞选,他奋战良久、竭尽所能;为了他所深爱的美国,他曾作出了更长久、更努力的奉献。麦凯恩参议员为美国所作出的牺牲是大部分人难以想象的,他这种英勇无私的奉献改善了我们的生活。对于麦凯恩参议员和佩林州长所取得的成就,我对他们致以祝贺。在接下来的几个月里,以重振美国为目标,我期待着与他们的合作。
在此,我想感谢一路陪伴我的竞选搭档,他就是我们即将上任的副总统,乔·拜登。为了让美国广大的工人阶层发出自己的声音,他毫无私心地全身心投入竞选,因为他和那些宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿城街头的人们一样,出生平凡,一切白手起家。
如果没有米歇尔·奥巴马,这一准美国第一夫人的坚定支持,今晚,我就不会站在这儿了。我们相伴走过了16个春秋,她是我们整个家庭的顶梁柱,我一生的挚爱。还有,萨沙和玛利亚,我爱你们,你们姊妹俩终于可以带着你们的新宠物狗入主白宫了。我知道,就像我的其他已故亲属一样,外祖母一定也在某处注视着我,虽然她已经不在人世。是他们造就了今天的我。今晚我很想念他们,我对他们的亏欠无以计量。
我想对我的竞选经理大卫·普劳夫、首席战略师大卫·阿克塞尔罗德以及我们这个史上最佳的竞选团队说,是你们让这一切成为了现实,对于你们为此所做的牺牲和付出我永远感怀在心。
然而,有一点是最重要的,那就是我永远都不会忘记,真正拥有这个胜利的是你们,你们所有人!对于入主白宫,我从来都不是最热候选人。竞选伊始,我们的资金并不充裕,获得的支持也不多。我们的竞选班子并非始于华府,而是一路从艾奥瓦州的得梅因酒店后院、辗转北卡罗莱纳州的康克酒店客房,后来会首在西弗吉尼亚州查尔斯顿酒店的主厅……
我们的胜利来自于广大工薪阶级,正是他们从仅有的微薄存款里掏出5美元、10美元或者20美元来支持我们的竞选。我们的力量来自于摘下冷漠面罩的年轻一代,来自于夜以继日奋力工作以维持生计的下层百姓,来自于冒着严寒酷暑、户户敲门宣传的团队中流砥柱,更来自于成千上万的大选志愿者。他们用出色的奉献精神和组织能力证明了一个民有、民治、民享的政府在两百年后仍然保持着生命力。这就是你们的胜利!
我明白,你们所做的这些,并不仅仅是为了赢得这次竞选,也不单单只是为了我本人。你们之所以这么做,是因为你们懂得前方任务的艰巨。即使我们今晚沉浸于庆祝的喜悦之中,我们也深知明天将会面临的将是我们这辈子最为艰巨的挑战:两场战争、濒临危险的地球和百年一遇的金融危机;即使今晚我们安然站在此处,我们也深知那些深陷伊拉克沙漠和阿富汗山区的英勇美国战士,是为了我们而冒着生命危险。还有那些孩子早已熟睡、自己却辗转反侧的人父人母,他们夜不能寐,想着如何还清房贷、如何支付医药费以及给孩子存下大学经费。我们要掌握新能源,创造就业岗位,建造新校舍,正视存在的威胁,并修复与盟友的关系。
