2004年7月27日在民主党全国代表大会上的致辞

第一篇：2004年7月27日在民主党全国代表大会上的致辞

希望就是勇气，希望就是力量：2004年7月27日在民主党全国代表大会上的致辞巴拉克·奥巴马 文 海星 译

作为伟大的伊利诺斯州——全国的交通枢纽，林肯的故乡——的代表，我为有向此次大会致辞的机会而深感荣幸。今晚于我而言是一份特殊的荣耀。我们得承认，我出现在这个讲坛上是件不可思议的事。我的父亲是个外国留学生，在肯尼亚的一个小村庄出生并长大，他幼时牧羊，在铁皮顶做成的简陋小屋里上学。他的父亲，我的祖父，是个厨师，一个佣人。但我祖父对他的儿子有更大的梦想。艰辛的努力和顽强的毅力使父亲拿到了到美国留学的奖学金。美国是一片神奇的国土，它对于许多未曾来过的人而言是自由和机会的象征。在留学期间，父亲遇到了母亲。她出生在世界另一端的堪萨斯的一个小镇上。她父亲在大萧条时期为了养家糊口，不是在石油钻塔下打工，就是在农场务农。珍珠港事件后他自愿入伍，进入巴顿的部队，曾在整个欧洲大陆辗转作战。在后方家中，外祖母养育着他们的孩子，并在一条轰炸机流水线上工作。战后，他们研究了士兵福利法案，通过联邦住宅管理局买了一套房子，并移居到西部寻找机会。

他们对他们的女儿也很大的梦想。一个共通的梦想，在两个不同的大陆生发。我的父母不仅共享不可思议的爱恋，他们还共同坚守这个国家有巨大潜力的不渝信念。他们赐予我一个非洲名字，巴拉克，意为“受神福佑的”。他们相信在宽容大度的美国，一个人的名字不是通向成功的障碍。尽管生活并不富裕，但他们想让我去这片土地最好的学校就读，因为在富足的美国，你即使不富裕也能发掘你的潜力。现在他们都过世了。不过我知道，在这个夜晚，他们满怀骄傲自天堂注视我。

今天我站在这里，为我独特的血统满怀感激，并知道我父母的愿望正在我的两个宝贝女儿身上延续。我站在这里，知道我的故事是更宏伟的美国故事的一部分，也知道我们不能忘却那些在我之前来到这里的人，更知道我的故事这个世界的任何其他地方都不可能发生。今晚，我们欢聚一堂重申我们民族的荣耀，这个荣耀并不在于我们的摩天大楼有多高，也不

在于我们的军备实力有多强，更不在于我们经济的规模有多大。我们的自豪感建筑在一个相当简单的前提上，两百多年前它就在一个宣言中被这样概括：”我们坚持以下真理不言而喻：众生平等。造物主赋予他们某些不可被剥夺的权利，它们包括：生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。”

这是美国真正的天才：坚信她的人民简单而纯朴的梦想，坚信小小的奇迹会发生。我们能在深夜给孩子掖好被子时确信他们衣食无忧且远离伤害。我们能想到什么就说什么，想到什么就写什么，而毋庸担心突然被政府找上门来。我们能生发一个想法后就去开创自己的生意，而无须行贿或雇佣某人的子女。我们能参与政治过程而不必担心被惩罚，并且，至少多数时候，我们的选票是有用的。

今年，在这次选举中，我们要重申我们的价值观和责任，秉持它们去对抗艰难时局；并留心我们怎样才能继承先辈的遗产，实现对子孙的承诺。美国公民们，——民主党人、共和党人、无党派人士——，今晚我想对你们说：我们还有更多的工作要做。要为我在伊利诺斯州盖尔斯堡市（Galesburg）遇到工人们做更多的努力，他们丢失了在即将搬迁到墨西哥的Maytag洗衣机工厂车间的工作，现今被迫同他们的子女争抢每小时7美金的工作机会。要为我遇到的一个失了业、克制住不流泪的父亲做更多的努力，他在担心没有他可以依赖的医疗保险他如何负担儿子每个月所需的4500美金的医药费。要为东圣路易斯市的一个年轻女孩和千千万万和她一样的人做更多的努力，——她有成绩、有动力和意愿，却没有钱去读大学。

请不要误解我。我在大城和小镇、在餐厅和办公楼停车场遇到的人并未期待政府去解决他们所有的困难。他们清楚他们自己必须勤劳工作去克服难关，他们也真的想这样做。走进芝加哥周边的工薪城镇，人们会告诉你他们不愿让自己的纳税花在五角大楼或福利机构。走进市中心的任何街区，人们会告诉你仅仅靠政府是不可能让孩子好好读书的。他们知道父母需要教育孩子，需要提高孩子的期待，需要关掉电视机并杜绝这样的谣言：一个捧着书本的黑人小孩简直像个白人孩子，而只有这样孩子才能进步。真的是这样，人们并不指望政府

解决他们面临的所有困难。但他们真诚地认为，只要政府理顺执政的轻重缓急，它就能确保美国的每个孩子的生活有个像样的目标，让机遇向所有人敞开大门。他们知道我们能做得更好。而他们想要那样的选择。

在这次选举中，我们能提供那样的选择。我们的党已经挑选出一个最能代表这个国家的美德的人。他就是约翰·克里。约翰·克里懂得共同体、信念和献身的理想，因为这些理想是他的生活准则。他在越南英勇服役，出任过检察官和副州长，并在美国参议院供职二十多年，他为这个国家献出了自己的一切。我们再三见证他舍弃相对容易的选择而做出艰难的决定。他的价值理念和经历是我们最好品德的写照。

约翰·克里坚信美国该是多劳多得的国度。因此，他不会给那些把工作输送到海外的公司

减税，他只会给那些在本土创造就业机会的公司减免赋税。约翰·克里坚信美国应该是老百姓的医疗保险跟华盛顿的政治家们的医疗保险没有差别的国度。约翰·克里坚信能源自主，因此我们不再因石油公司对利润的追求或外国油田的被破坏而受到威胁。约翰·克里坚信那些使我们的国家成为世界羡慕对象的、由宪法条款所保证的自由，他不会牺牲我们的基本自由或将信仰用作分裂我们的工具。约翰·克里还坚信战争在一个充满危险的世界是不可避免的抉择，但它永不会是首选。

前不久，我在伊利诺斯州东莫林市的外战老兵俱乐部里遇到一个叫沙莫斯的年轻人。他长得帅气高大，有两米左右的个头，眼睛清澈，笑容可掬。他告诉我他参加了海军陆战队，下周将要开赴伊拉克。当我听他娓娓述说他入伍的原因，他对于我们的国家和领导人的完全信赖，他对于责任和服役的忠诚，我感觉这个年轻人的言行正是我们每个人对自己的孩子的所有期待。然而，我又扪心自问，我们为他提供的服务有他给我们提供的服务好吗？我想起有900多个服役的男男女女将不会再重返家园，他们是儿子和女儿、丈夫和妻子、朋友和邻居。我想起我遇到的那些家庭，他们正努力克服缺少了爱人全职收入的困窘，或尽量摆脱爱

人归来而身体残疾或精神崩溃却因为是预备役军人而无法享受长期健康补贴的困境。当我们派遣我们的年轻人踏上牺牲的路途，我们必须责无旁贷地搞清和核实让他们出征的一切数字和一切理由，必须责无旁贷地在他们离去后照看他们的家庭，在他们返回后关照他们的生活，必须责无旁贷地确保在没有足够的部队时不进入战争、保卫和平和赢得世界的尊重。

请允许我阐明这一点：在这个世界上我们有真正的敌人，我们必须找到这些敌人，必须追击并打败他们。约翰·克里懂得这一点。就像克里上尉在越南战场上毫不犹豫地冒险保护他的下属一样，克里总统会毫不犹豫地运用我们的军力保护美国的安全。约翰·克里相信美国。他也知道仅仅一部分公民的富足远远不够，与我们闻名于世的个人主义如影随形的，是美国激荡的历史中的另一种元素。

这个元素是我们作为一个民族荣辱与共的信仰。假如芝加哥南部的一个孩子不能读写，即使那不是我的孩子，我也会因此受到困扰。如果一个年事已高的市民付不起她的诊疗费而被迫在医疗费和租房之间做选择，即使她不是我的祖母，也会使我的生活更加拮据。如果一个阿拉伯裔的美国家庭未经律师辩解或诉讼程序就遭到驱赶，那也会威胁我的人身自由。正是这个基本的信仰使这个国家运转：我是我的兄弟的守护人，我是我的姐妹的守护人。它保证了我们追寻个体的梦想，却仍旧聚合为一个美利坚家庭。“E plubribus Unum”，独立来自团结，单一来自集体。

Senator Hillary Clinton's address at 2004 Democratic National Convention

7月26日傍晚，美国民主党全国代表大会在波士顿正式开幕。大会会场所在地——波士顿富里特中心一直是NBA老牌劲旅波士顿凯尔特人队的主场，现在成为了欢乐的海洋，成为了全美民主党人2004年总统大选的誓师会场，4353名民主党政要会聚一堂，正式提名克里和爱德华兹为民主党总统和副总统候选人，发动“倒布”总攻。当晚最精彩的一幕，是前总统克林顿和夫人希拉里的压轴演讲。

Senator Hillary Clinton:

Twelve years ago, when our country needed new leadership, Americans elected a Democrat who gave us eight years of peace, prosperity, and promise.Tonight I have the pleasure of introducing the last great Democratic President.But first I want to say a few words about the next great Democratic president, John Kerry.We meet at a moment of great peril, but also of great hope.Together we can widen the circle of opportunity for all Americans, transcend our differences and divisions, and give our children a safer and more secure future.That's the promise of America.And John Kerry will renew that promise.He will lead the world, not alienate it.Lower the deficit, not raise it.Create good jobs, not lose them.Solve a health care crisis, not ignore it.I know a thing or two about health care.And the problems have only gotten worse in the past four years.We need to rededicate ourselves to the task of providing coverage for the 44 million Americans who are uninsured and the millions of others who face rising costs.We need to lift the ban on stem cell research, and find cures that will help millions of Americans.Health care is a serious issue that requires serious solutions and that's what John Kerry will give us.John Kerry will give America something else, a great vice president.I've served with John Edwards.He's smart, he's energetic, he's empathetic.And he understands the challenges that hard-working Americans face in their daily lives.Americans will be proud to have the Kerry-Edwards team in the White House, and they'll be proud to have their extraordinary partners, Teresa Heinz Kerry and Elizabeth Edwards, there as well.We've been through our share of challenges as Americans, from a Civil War to a Great Depression 洛基国际英语

to World Wars and more.Today we face a new threat.Being a Senator from New York, I saw first-hand the devastation of 9/11.I visited Ground Zero right after we were attacked.I felt like I was standing at the Gates of Hell.I hope no American ever has to witness a sight like that again.That tragedy changed all of us.I know it changed me.And every day now, as a mother, as a Senator, and as an American I worry about whether we are acting as wisely as we can to protect our country and our people.Last week, the bipartisan 9/11 commission issued its report.It was a sober call to action that we ignore at our peril.John Kerry understands what's at stake.We need to fully equip and train our firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians-our first responders in the event of a terrorist attack.We need to secure our borders and our ports, as well as our chemical and nuclear plants.We need to reorganize our federal government to meet the new threats of these times.We need to make sure that homeland security is properly funded and that resources go to the areas at greatest risk.We need to take care of our men and women in uniform who risked their lives for our country.These brave Americans deserve better.We need to increase our troop strength, raise their pay, and provide veterans, the National Guard, and Reserve with the benefits they're entitled to.Do you know what we need to meet these challenges? We need John Kerry.John Kerry is a serious man, for a serious job.So let's work our hearts out and send him to the White House in 2004.And I'm optimistic we will because I know a great leader when I see one.And so does America.In 1992 and 1996, Americans chose a President who left our country in far better shape than when he took office.He still spends his days working to empower the powerless, promote racial, religious, and ethnic reconciliation, inspire young people to citizen service, and bring life saving medicines to people living with HIV/AIDS around the world.He showed Democrats how to win again.And so will John Kerry.Please welcome the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.“成千上万人疯狂下载。。。

President Bill Clinton:

Thank you.I am honored to share the podium with my Senator, though I think I should be introducing her.I'm proud of her and so grateful to the people of New York that the best public servant in our family is still on the job and grateful to all of you, especially my friends from Arkansas, for the chance you gave us to serve our country in the White House.I am also honored to share this night with President Carter, who has inspired the world with his work for peace, democracy, and human rights.And with Al Gore, my friend and partner for eight years, who played such a large role in building the prosperity and progress that brought America into the 21st century, who showed incredible grace and patriotism under pressure, and who is the living embodiment that every vote counts—and must be counted in every state in America.Tonight I speak as a citizen, returning to the role I have played for most of my life as a foot soldier in the fight for our future, as we nominate a true New England patriot for president.The state that gave us John Adams and John Kennedy has now given us John Kerry, a good man, a great senator, a visionary leader.We are constantly told America is deeply divided.But all Americans value freedom, faith, and family.We all honor the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.We all want good jobs, good schools, health care, safe streets, a clean environment.We all want our children to grow up in a secure America leading the world toward a peaceful future.Our differences are in how we can best achieve these things, in a time of unprecedented change.Therefore, we Democrats will bring the American people a positive campaign, arguing not who's good and who's bad, but what is the best way to build the safe, prosperous world our children deserve.The 21st century is marked by serious security threats, serious economic challenges, and serious problems like global warming and the AIDS epidemic.But it is also full of enormous 洛基国际英语

opportunities—to create millions of high paying jobs in clean energy, and biotechnology;to restore the manufacturing base and reap the benefits of the global economy through our diversity and our commitment to decent labor and environmental standards everywhere;and to create a world where we can celebrate our religious and racial differences, because our common humanity matters more.To build that kind of world we must make the right choices;and we must have a president who will lead the way.Democrats and Republicans have very different and honestly held ideas on that choices we should make, rooted in fundamentally different views of how we should meet our common challenges at home and how we should play our role in the world.Democrats want to build an America of shared responsibilities and shared opportunities and more global cooperation, acting alone only when we must.We think the role of government is to give people the tools and conditions to make the most of their lives.Republicans believe in an America run by the right people, their people, in a world in which we act unilaterally when we can, and cooperate when we have to.They think the role of government is to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of those who embrace their political, economic, and social views, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves on matters like health care and retirement security.Since most Americans are not that far to the right, they have to portray us Democrats as unacceptable, lacking in strength and values.In other words, they need a divided America.But Americans long to be united.After 9/11, we all wanted to be one nation, strong in the fight against terror.The president had a great opportunity to bring us together under his slogan of compassionate conservatism and to unite the world in common cause against terror.Instead, he and his congressional allies made a very different choice: to use the moment of unity to push America too far to the right and to walk away from our allies, not only in attacking Iraq before the weapons inspectors finished their jobs, but in withdrawing American support for the Climate Change Treaty, the International Court for war criminals, the ABM treaty, and even the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.Now they are working to develop two new nuclear weapons which they say we might use first.At home, the President and the Republican Congress have made equally fateful choices indeed.For the first time ever when America was on a war footing, there were two huge tax cuts, nearly half of which went to the top one percent.I'm in that group now for the first time in my life.When I was in office, the Republicans were pretty mean to me.When I left and made money, I became part of the most important group in the world to them.At first I thought I should send them a thank you note—until I realized they were sending you the bill.They protected my tax cuts while: 洛基国际英语

· Withholding promised funding for the Leave No Child Behind Act, leaving over 2 million children behind

· Cutting 140,000 unemployed workers out of job training

· 100,000 working families out of child care assistance

· 300,000 poor children out of after school programs

· Raising out of pocket healthcare costs to veterans

· Weakening or reversing important environmental advances for clean air and the preservation of our forests.Everyone had to sacrifice except the wealthiest Americans, who wanted to do their part but were asked only to expend the energy necessary to open the envelopes containing our tax cuts.If you agree with these choices, you should vote to return them to the White House and Congress.If not, take a look at John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats.In this year's budget, the White House wants to cut off federal funding for 88,000 uniformed police, including more than 700 on the New York City police force who put their lives on the line on 9/11.As gang violence is rising and we look for terrorists in our midst, Congress and the President are also about to allow the ten-year-old ban on assault weapons to expire.Our crime policy was to put more police on the streets and take assault weapons off the streets.It brought eight years of declining crime and violence.Their policy is the reverse, they're taking police off the streets and putting assault weapons back on the streets.If you agree with their choices, vote to continue them.If not, join John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats in making America safer, smarter, and stronger.On Homeland Security, Democrats tried to double the number of containers at ports and airports checked for Weapons of Mass Destruction.The one billion dollar cost would have been paid for by reducing the tax cut of 200,000 millionaires by five thousand dollars each.Almost all 200,000 of us would have been glad to pay 5,000 dollars to make the nearly 300 million Americans safer—but the measure failed because the White House and the Republican leadership in the House decided my tax cut was more important-If you agree with that choice, re-elect them.If not, give John Kerry and John Edwards a chance.These policies have turned the projected 5.8 trillion dollar surplus we left—enough to pay for the baby boomers retirement—into a projected debt of nearly 5 trillion dollars, with a 400 plus billion dollar deficit this year and for years to come.How do they pay for it? First by taking the monthly surplus in Social Security payments and endorsing the checks of working people over to me to 洛基国际英语

cover my tax cut.But it's not enough.They are borrowing the rest from foreign governments, mostly Japan and China.Sure, they're competing with us for good jobs but how can we enforce our trade laws against our bankers? If you think it's good policy to pay for my tax cut with the Social Security checks of working men and women, and borrowed money from China, vote for them.If not, John Kerry's your man.We Americans must choose for President one of two strong men who both love our country, but who have very different worldviews: Democrats favor shared responsibility, shared opportunity, and more global cooperation.Republicans favor concentrated wealth and power, leaving people to fend for themselves and more unilateral action.I think we're right for two reasons: First, America works better when all people have a chance to live their dreams.Second, we live in an interdependent world in which we can't kill, jail, or occupy all our potential adversaries, so we have to both fight terror and build a world with more partners and fewer terrorists.We tried it their way for twelve years, our way for eight, and then their way for four more.By the only test that matters, whether people were better off when we finished than when we started, our way works better—it produced over 22 million good jobs, rising incomes, and 100 times as many people moving out of poverty into the middle class.It produced more health care, the largest increase in college aid in 50 years, record home ownership, a cleaner environment, three surpluses in a row, a modernized defense force, strong efforts against terror, and an America respected as a world leader for peace, security and prosperity.More importantly, we have great new champions in John Kerry and John Edwards.Two good men with wonderful wives—Teresa a generous and wise woman who understands the world we are trying to shape.And Elizabeth, a lawyer and mother who understands the lives we are all trying to lift.Here is what I know about John Kerry.During the Vietnam War, many young men—including the current president, the vice president and me—could have gone to Vietnam but didn't.John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it too.Instead he said, send me.When they sent those swift-boats up the river in Vietnam, and told them their job was to draw hostile fire—to show the American flag and bait the enemy to come out and fight—John Kerry said, send me.When it was time to heal the wounds of war and normalize relations with Vietnam—and to demand an accounting of the POWs and MIAs we lost there—John Kerry said, send me.When we needed someone to push the cause of inner-city kids struggling to avoid a life of crime, or to bring the benefits of high technology to ordinary Americans, or to clean the environment in a way that creates jobs, or to give small businesses a better chance to make it, John Kerry said send me.Tonight my friends, I ask you to join me for the next 100 days in telling John Kerry's story and promoting his plans.Let every person in this hall and all across America say to him what he has always said to America: Send Me.The bravery that the men who fought by his side saw in battle 洛基国际英语

I've seen in the political arena.When I was President, John Kerry showed courage and conviction on crime, on welfare reform, on balancing the budget at a time when those priorities were not exactly a way to win a popularity contest in our party.He took tough positions on tough problems.John Kerry knows who he is and where he's going.He has the experience, the character, the ideas and the values to be a great President.In a time of change he has two other important qualities: his insatiable curiosity to understand the forces shaping our lives, and a willingness to hear the views even of those who disagree with him.Therefore his choices will be full of both conviction and common sense.He proved that when he picked a tremendous partner in John Edwards.Everybody talks about John Edwards' energy, intellect, and charisma.The important thing is how he has used his talents to improve the lives of people who—like John himself—had to work hard for all they've got.He has always championed the cause of people too often left out or left behind.And that's what he'll do as our Vice President.Their opponents will tell you to be afraid of John Kerry and John Edwards, because they won't stand up to the terrorists—don't you believe it.Strength and wisdom are not conflicting values—they go hand in hand.John Kerry has both.His first priority will be keeping America safe.Remember the scripture: Be Not Afraid.John Kerry and John Edwards, have good ideas:

· To make this economy work again for middle-class Americans;

· To restore fiscal responsibility;

· To save Social Security;to make healthcare more affordable and college more available;

· To free us from dependence on foreign oil and create new jobs in clean energy;

· To rally the world to win the war on terror and to make more friends and fewer terrorists.At every turning point in our history we the people have chosen unity over division, heeding our founders' call to America's eternal mission: to form a more perfect union, to widen the circle of opportunity, deepen the reach of freedom, and strengthen the bonds of community.It happened because we made the right choices.In the early days of the republic, America was at a crossroads much like it is today, deeply divided over whether or not to build a real nation with a national economy, and a national legal system.We chose a more perfect union.In the Civil War, America was at a crossroads, divided over whether to save the union and end 洛基国际英语

第四篇：克里在2004年美国民主党全国代表大会上的演讲

[dvnews_page]JohnKerry'eechat2004DemocraticNationalConvention

为期4天的美国民主党全国代表大会7月29日在波士顿闭幕。在这次气氛热闹、“火药味”十足的大会上，民主党正式提名克里为总统候选人。克里突出渲染民主党“让美国更强，在世界上更受尊敬”(makeAmericastrongerathomeandreectedintheworld)的竞选口号，并通过数万与会者和新闻媒体造势，向广大选民推出民主党对美国未来的计划。
