美國大選奧巴馬演講全文：我們需要的變革（中英對照）

奧巴馬：我們需要的變革 obama: the change we need 現在是美國歷史的關鍵時刻。我們面臨著大蕭條以來最為嚴重的一場經濟危機：今年以來已經有76萬人失業；企業和家庭無法獲得信貸；房價不斷下滑，養老金日益縮水；工資降到了十年來的最低水平，同時醫療和教育成本卻漲到了有史以來的最高點。this is a defining moment in our history.we face the worst economic crisis since the great depression--760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year.businesses and families can’t get credit.home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing.wages are lower than they’ve been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher.在眼下這樣的危急時刻，我們承受不起又一個四年的支出增長、千瘡百孔的減稅措施、或是監管全無──即使是美國聯邦儲備委員會(fed)前主席格林斯潘(alan greenspan)現在也承認那是個錯誤。美國需要一個新的方向。這也正是我競選美國總統的原因所在。

at a moment like this, we can’t afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former federal reserve chairman alan greenspan now believes was a mistake.america needs a new direction.that’s why i’m running for president of the united states.明天，也就是周二，你們將有能力賦予這個國家我們所需要的變革。tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need.我的競選對手麥凱恩參議員為美國作出的貢獻令人尊敬。他甚至可以指出他過去曾有幾次與自己的黨派分道揚鑣。然而，在過去八年中，他十之八九都贊同布什總統的主張。而在經濟問題上，他仍然無法向美國民眾說明，他與布什的做法會有什么太大區別。

my opponent, senator mccain, has served his country honorably.he can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party.but over the past eight years, he’s voted with president bush 90% of the time.and when it comes to the economy, he still can’t tell the american people one major thing he’d do differently from george bush.如果提出的稅收計劃沒有讓1億多美國中產階級獲得一分錢的稅項減免，這不是變革──即使是《國家評論》(national review)雜志和其他保守派組織也抱怨說，這個計劃對造福中產階級貢獻寥寥。在近年來不斷累積的財政赤字上再添5萬億美元，這不是變革。如果解決房市危機的計劃又將另外3,000億美元納稅人的錢置于風險之中，這不是變革──《華爾街日報》編輯委員會稱這一計劃“產生的問題比解決的問題多”。

it’s not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn’t give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class americans--a plan that even the national review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class.it’s not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we’ve run up in recent years.it’s not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk--a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said ’raises more questions than it answers.’ 如果說我們從此次經濟危機中學到了什么的話，那就是我們要患難與共。從首席執行長到公司股東，從金融家到工廠工人，我們每個人都休戚相關，因為美國的民眾越富足，美國才會越繁榮。

if there’s one thing we’ve learned from this economic crisis, it’s that we are all in this together.from ceos to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other’s success BECause the more americans prosper, the more america prospers.這就是為什么我們有些企業巨頭把提高員工薪酬作為自己的一項使命，讓員工能買得起自己生產的產品，比如巴菲特(warren buffett)這樣的商界人士。我對能有他的支持感到自豪。這就是為什么美國經濟不僅是世界上最偉大的財富創造者，也是世界上最偉大的就業機會制造者。它一直托舉著有史以來規模最大的中產階級之舟。

that’s why we’ve had titans of industry who’ve made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made--businessmen like warren buffett, whose support i’m proud to have.that’s why our economy hasn’t just been the world’s greatest wealth creator--it’s been the world’s greatest job generator.it’s been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history.為了重塑美國中產階級，我將給予95%的工人及其家庭稅收減免待遇。如果你工作，就交稅；如果年收入不足20萬美元，你會獲得減稅；即使你的年收入超過了25萬美元，你所負擔的稅率也比上世紀九十年代要低──資本利得稅和股息稅要比里根總統時期低三分之一。

to rebuild that middle class, i’ll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families.if you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you’ll get a tax cut.if you make more than $250,000, you’ll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s--and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under president reagan.通過重建日益破敗的基礎設施、在美國的各個角落接通寬帶，我們將創造200萬個就業崗位。未來的十年中，我將每年在可再生能源領域投資150億美元，進而新增500萬個崗位；這些工作環保、薪酬豐厚、不能外包，而且能幫助我們擺脫對中東石油的依賴。

we’ll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country.i’ll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can’t be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on middle east oil.在醫療問題上，我們不必在政府運營的體系和目前這種我們難以負擔的體系之間進行選擇。我的競選對手提出的方案會令美國人有史以來首次為自己獲得的醫療福利納稅。我的計劃則會讓醫療保健成為每個美國人都負擔得起、享受得到的服務。根據我的計劃，如果你已經有了醫療保險，你將看到的唯一一個變化是保費降低；如果你還沒有醫療保險，你將能與國會議員們享受到同樣的醫療福利。when it comes to health care, we don’t have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now.my opponent’s plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history.my plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every american.if you already have health insurance, the only change you’ll see under my plan is lower premiums.if you don’t, you’ll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of congress get for themselves.為了讓每個孩子享受到世界級的教育，讓他們能在全球經濟中競爭21世紀的工作崗位，我將投資早期教育，并且增加師資力量。不過，我同時也會要求更高的標準和更多的責任。我們向每個美國年輕人作出承諾：如果你致力于服務你的社區或是你的國家，我們將確保你能負擔得起自己的學費。

to give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, i’ll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers.but i’ll also demand higher standards and more accountability.and we’ll make a deal with every young american: if you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition.在國防安全問題上，我將負責任地結束伊拉克戰爭，這樣我們就不必在這個國家享有巨額財政盈余的情況下每月卻要在那里花費100億美元。為了美國的經濟、美國的軍隊和伊拉克的長期穩定，現在是伊拉克人站出來的時候了。我將最終完成對本·拉登(bin laden)和基地組織恐怖分子的打擊，正是這些人制造了9/11恐怖襲擊，同時我還會建立新的合作關系、擊退21世紀出現的威脅，恢復我們的道德威望，讓美國仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。

and when it comes to keeping this country safe, i’ll end the iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in iraq while it sits on a huge surplus.for the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of iraq, it’s time for the iraqis to step up.i’ll finally finish the fight against bin laden and the al qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that america remains the last, best hope of earth.這些事情沒有一件是輕而易舉能辦到的，也不是一朝一夕能完成的。但是，我堅信我們能成功，因為我對美國深信不疑。是美國使我們的父輩相信，即使他們自己無法上大學，也可以每周積攢下一些錢來，讓他們的孩子接受好的教育；即使他們不能擁有自己的企業，也可以通過努力工作讓自己的孩子創辦企業。在美國歷史的每個時刻，我們都勇敢地站起來面對挑戰，因為我們從來沒有忘記過這樣一個基本真理：在美國，我們的命運并非天定，而是掌握在我們自己的手中。none of this will be easy.it won’t happen overnight.but i believe we can do this because i believe in america.this is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn’t go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could;that even if they couldn’t have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own.and at every moment in our history, we’ve risen to meet our challenges because we’ve never forgotten the fundamental truth that in america, our destiny is not written for us, but by us.所以，明天，我懇請你們書寫美國下一個偉大的篇章。我懇請你們不只相信我帶來變革的能力，還有你們自己的能力。明天，你們可以選擇這樣一種政策──向美國中產階級進行投入、創造新的就業崗位、實現經濟增長讓人人都有成功的機會。你們可以選擇希望而非恐懼、選擇團結而非分裂、選擇變革的希望而非墨守成規。如果你們投我的票，我們將不僅贏得此次競選，還將一起改變這個國家、改變這個世界。

so tomorrow, i ask you to write our nation’s next great chapter.i ask you to believe--not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours.tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed.you can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.if you give me your vote, we won’t just win this election--together, we will change this country and change the world.

第二篇：美國大選奧巴馬獲勝演講稿

Hello!芝加哥！

如果現在仍然有人懷疑在美國是不是真的任何事情都可能發生，懷疑我們開國之父們的夢想是否還留存在這片土地上，懷疑美國民主的力量，今夜，就是你的答案。

在這個國家的學校和教堂中人們曾焦急地等待著答案，一些人甚至從未像今天一樣——等待了3～4個小時，但是他們知道這一時刻非同一般，他們的聲音也同樣非同一般。

在美國的土地上，無論是年輕人還是老人；窮人還是富人；無論是共和黨人還是民主黨人；無論是黑人、白人、西班牙裔、亞裔、美國原住民、同性戀、異性戀、殘疾人還是非殘疾人都發出同一種信息，我并非孤身一人。

我們是，而且永遠都是美利堅合眾國！

這一天我們等得太久了，但是今晚，因為我們在這場競選中、在這個地點、在此時此刻所做的一切，改變已經降臨美國。

在今天晚上，我很榮幸地接到了麥凱恩參議員打來的電話。麥凱恩參議員在這場競選中進行了長久、艱難的努力。而且，為這個他熱愛的國家，他奮斗了更久、付出了更多的努力。他為美國做出了超乎我們大多數人想象的犧牲，因為這個無畏無私的領導人所付出的努力，我們才有了更好的生活。我對他表示祝賀，也對佩林州長所取得的成果表示祝賀。同時，我也期待著能在接下來的幾個月內，和他們共同努力履行對這個國家的諾言。

我想感謝我在這個旅程中的搭檔，一個全心全意參加競選的男人，一個為同他一起在斯克藍頓(賓夕法尼亞東北部城市)街道長大、一起坐火車到特拉華州的人們發言的男人，美國未來的副總統，喬·拜登。

在過去的16年里如果沒有朋友們的支持和鼓勵，那么我今晚將不會站在這里??我的家庭的支持、關愛，美國的下一位第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬，還有薩沙和瑪麗雅，我對你們的愛甚至超出你們的想象，你們將得到新的爸爸，和你們一起到新的白宮。

我卻再也不能陪伴我的外祖母了，但我知道她一直在守望著我們。我也十分想念我的家人和親戚，我知道自己虧欠他們太多，太多。我要感謝馬婭，阿爾瑪，以及我所有的兄弟姐妹，感謝你們對我無私的支持，對此我深表感激。還有，感謝我的競選經理大衛·普勞夫。還有那些在競選活動中的無名英雄們，他們表現的很棒，是他們給美國帶來了一場最完美的大選，我想，這在美國歷史上是絕無僅有的。還有我的首席戰略師大衛·阿克塞爾羅德。他是我的伙伴，在我競選的每個階段都給我極大的幫助，為我打造了美國大選史上最棒的競選團隊。是你讓這一切發生了，我將永遠對你為這一切做出的犧牲心存感激。但是最重要的，我將永遠無法忘記這場勝利真正的主人，這屬于你們，這屬于你們。

我曾經是最不可能贏得白宮的候選人。在剛開始的時候，我們沒有多少錢，也沒有多少支持者，我們的競選不是從華盛頓的大廳開始的，而是開始于艾奧瓦州得梅因的后院、康科德的客廳、查爾斯頓的前廳。是辛勤勞作的男人、女人捐給了我們他們微薄的積蓄，5塊錢、10塊錢、20塊錢。我們從年輕人那里得到了力量，他們拒絕服從同齡人冷漠的神話。為了工作，他們離開了自己的家鄉，并與親人分別，可是他們拿很少的報酬，甚至連睡覺的時間也少的可憐。

那些并不年輕的志愿者卻擁有一顆火熱的心，為了大選他們在寒風中敲開善良的陌生人家的門，這就是為什么兩個世紀以來，我們人類，我們的政府沒有從地球上消亡的原因。

我想說，這同樣也是你們的勝利！我知道，你們不僅僅是為了贏得一個大選，也不僅僅是為了我。

你們這樣做，是因為知道我們面前任務的艱難。即使我們今晚在這里歡慶，我們仍然知道明天將會帶來我們平生最大的挑戰——兩場戰爭，一個處于危險邊緣的星球、一個世紀來最嚴重的金融危機。

即使我們今夜站在這里，我們依然知道，勇敢的美國人在伊拉克的荒地上、在阿富汗的山林中醒來，為了我們，賭上自己的生命。

在孩子們熟睡后依然醒著的父親母親在擔心，他們怎樣才能還清醫生的賬單，攢夠足夠的錢供孩子的大學教育。

新的能源要去開發，新的工作崗位要去創造，新的學校要去建造，新的威脅要去面對，新的盟友關系要去修復。

前面的路會很長。我們的攀巖會很陡峭。我們甚至不會在一年、一個任期內達到這個目標。但是，美國，我從未比今夜更加相信，我們會達到這個目標。

我承諾，作為一個人，我們會達到這個目標。

以后我們還會面對挫折和謊言，我成為總統以后，也許有人無法認同我的每一項政策和方針。并且我們也知道政府并非能解決一切問題。但是我會忠誠地和你們并肩奮斗，共同面對挑戰。我依然會傾聽你們的聲音，尤其是我們之間存在分歧的時候。最重要的是，我會真誠地邀請

你參與國家的重建，就像美國建國221年以來的歷史那樣——靠我們的雙手把國家建設地更為強大。

我們從21個月以前的冬天開始了奮斗的征程，但是我們的努力不會在這個秋天的夜晚結束。這次勝利并不會改變我們的探索之路，這對于我們來說是一個難得的機遇，我們決不能后退。我們不會退縮，因為我們擁有旺盛的精力和無畏犧牲的精神。

讓我們重振愛國主義精神，承擔起自己的責任，我們將努力奮斗，互幫互助。

讓我們牢記金融危機給美國帶來的傷痛，我們再也不會讓華爾街繁榮的同時，讓別的街受罪。在這個國家里，我們與祖國的命運緊密相連。讓我們自覺抵制黨派爭端和過于污穢的政治斗爭。

讓我們牢記在這條街道上高舉共和黨旗幟入主白宮的那個人(林肯)，是他宣揚了獨立和自主的精神，完成了國家的統一。

這些價值觀應該得到繼承和發揚，今晚民主黨取得了勝利，我們必須保持謙虛的心態，并下定決心完成后面的征程。就像很久以前，林肯對一個比現在分裂得更嚴重的民族所說的那樣，我們不是敵人，是朋友。雖然熱情已經被沖淡，我們的友愛紐帶沒有破裂。

同時，對于我沒有贏得支持的民眾，我或許沒有得到你們的投票，但是我聽到了你們的聲音。我需要你們的幫助。我也會是你們的總統。

對于那些在另外一個海岸，從國會到王宮、到在被世界遺忘的角落擺弄收音機、關注美國今夜的人們，我們的故事并非只有一個，但是目標是共同的，美國領導力的新的黎明已經到來。對于那些破壞世界的人，我們會打敗你。對那些尋找和平和安全的人，我們支持你。對那些懷疑美國的燈塔是否還在閃耀的人，今夜我們再次證明，美國真正的力量不是來自武器的威力，也不是來自財富的多寡，而是來自我們的信念的持久的力量：民主、自由、機會和永不放棄的希望。

這才是真正的美國：美國應該變化，我們的社會應該更完美。我們已經取得的成果給了我們明天取得更大成果的希望。

這次大選有很多首創和許多故事，這些故事將代代相傳。但今天晚上我腦子里能想起來的就是一個女人，她剛剛在亞特蘭大城投了票。她跟成千上萬在這次大選中排隊發出自己聲音的人一樣，唯有一點例外：安·尼克松·庫珀已經106歲高齡了。她出生在奴隸制剛剛廢除后的那一代，那時路上沒有汽車，天上沒有飛機。像她那樣的人仍不能投票，這因為兩個方面的原因：一是她是女性；二是因為她的膚色。

可今晚，我想她看透了一個世紀的美國——頭疼與希望；掙扎與發展。有人告訴我們，美國不行了，可美國人的自信卻回答：不，我們行！她曾經生活在女性發不出聲音、希望破滅的時代，可她卻活著看到女性們站起來，發出自己的聲音，并且投下自己的票。是的，我們行！當饑餓來到，衰退發生時，她看到了這個國家是如何以新政，新工作，和全新的共同目標來戰勝恐懼的。當炸彈落到我們的港口，獨裁者威脅世界的時候，她親眼見證了一代人的崛起和民主得以挽救。是的，我們行！她去蒙哥馬利搭乘公共汽車，她去伯明翰面對水龍頭，她去塞爾瑪占橋??她聽來自亞特蘭大的牧師告訴大家：“我們能打破種族障礙”，沒錯，我們行！

一個人踏上了月球，一堵墻在柏林倒下，這個世界因科學和想像而相連。

今年，在這次大選中，她投下了自己的一票。因為在美國生活了106個年頭，經歷了最好的時光與最難的歲月，所以她知道美國一定能改變。是的，我們行！

美國已經經歷了太多，我們看夠了太多，但我們還得做更多的事。今晚，讓我們問自己：如果我們的孩子們要活著看到新世紀，如果我們的女兒們能像安·尼克松這樣活到106歲，我們應該有哪些進步？我們應該回答這個問題，這是我們的時代。

現在是我們一起開始工作，為我們的孩子打開機遇之門，恢復我們的繁榮，促進和平，重回美國夢，恢復基本信任，以及其它許多事的時候了。我們應該團結如一人。我們應該堅定地回應那些說我們不行的人，我們將以無窮的力量來回應他們，然后說：是的，我們行！

感謝大家，上帝保佑你們，上帝保佑美利堅！

第三篇：2012年美國大選奧巴馬勝選演講(英語版)

Transcript of Obama’s Reelection Speech

(Cheers, applause.)

AUDIENCE MEMBERS:(Chanting.)Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!Four more years!

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Thank you.Thank you.Thank you so much.(Sustained cheers, applause.)

Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.(Cheers, applause.)

It moves forward because of you.It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.(Cheers, applause.)

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.(Cheers, applause.)I want to thank every American who participated in this election.(Cheers, applause.)Whether you voted for the very first time —(cheers)— or waited in line for a very long time —(cheers)— by the way, we have to fix that.(Cheers, applause.)Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone —(cheers, applause)— whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.(Cheers, applause.)

I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.(Cheers, applause.)We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future.From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service.And that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.(Cheers, applause.)In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.(Cheers, applause.)

I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.(Cheers, applause.)

And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago.(Cheers, applause.)Let me say this publicly.Michelle, I have never loved you more.(Cheers, applause.)I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.(Cheers, applause.)

Sasha and Malia —(cheers, applause)— before our very eyes, you’re growing up to become two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom.(Cheers, applause.)And I am so proud of you guys.But I will say that for now, one dog’s probably enough.(Laughter.)

To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics —(cheers, applause)— the best — the best ever —(cheers, applause)— some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very

/ 4

beginning.(Cheers, applause.)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.(Cheers, applause.)And you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.Thank you for believing all the way —(cheers, applause)— to every hill, to every valley.(Cheers, applause.)You lifted me up the whole day, and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in.(Cheers, applause.)

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 is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests.But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym or — or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else.You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who’s working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity.(Cheers, applause.)You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift.(Cheers, applause.)

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.(Cheers, applause.)

That’s why we do this.That’s what politics can be.That’s why elections matter.It’s not small, it’s big.It’s important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated.We have our own opinions.Each of us has deeply held beliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, 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 —(cheers, applause)— the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future.We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers —(cheers, applause)— a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation —(scattered cheers, applause)— with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow.We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened up by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.(Cheers, applause.)

We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this — this world has ever known —(cheers, applause)— but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.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 —(cheers, applause)— to the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner —(cheers, applause)— to the furniture worker’s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president.2 / 4

That’s the —(cheers, applause)— that’s the future we hope for.(Cheers, applause.)That’s the vision we share.That’s where we need to go — forward.(Cheers, applause.)That’s where we need to go.(Cheers, applause.)

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 that we have common hopes and dreams won’t end all the gridlock, resolve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and 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.(Cheers, applause.)A long campaign is now over.(Cheers, applause.)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 than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.(Cheers, applause.)

Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.(Cheers, applause.)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 out tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We’ve got more work to do.(Cheers, applause.)

But that doesn’t mean your work is done.The role of citizens 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.(Cheers, applause.)That’s the principle we were founded on.This country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us rich.We have the most powerful military in history, but that’s not what makes us strong.Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that’s not what keeps the world coming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth, the belief that our destiny is shared —(cheers, applause)— that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that 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.(Cheers, applause.)

I am hopeful tonight because I have seen this spirit at work in America.I’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job.I’ve seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.(Cheers, applause.)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.3 / 4

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.)

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.AUDIENCE MEMBER: We got your back, Mr.President!

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I’m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path.I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside 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.(Cheers, applause.)

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.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.(Cheers, applause.)

I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests.We’re not as cynical as the pundits 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.(Cheers, applause.)

And together, with your help and God’s grace, we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth.(Cheers, applause.)Thank you, America.(Cheers, applause.)God bless you.God bless these United States.(Cheers, applause.)

第四篇：奧巴馬2012大選勝選演講

時長：23'27'' 來源：騰訊視頻

6日晚，芝加哥麥考密克會展中心演講臺已經搭好，四周都是奧巴馬的支持者，或坐或站。

羅姆尼先“演說”

現場音樂聲很大，一刻不停，人們說話都要用喊；本來并不暖和的展館，人們挨得太近，變得很熱；人們疲勞了，但是仍然揮舞著國旗，等待奧巴馬。

“羅姆尼5分鐘后就要發表演說啦！”晚上近12點的時候，這個消息在支持者中間迅速地傳播。

7日凌晨，大屏幕上果然出現了羅姆尼的畫面。“我祝賀奧巴馬獲得勝利，他的支持者和團隊也應受到贊譽。”奧巴馬的“粉絲”對羅姆尼的開場白報以掌聲。

短短幾分鐘的演講結束后，演講臺的幕布突然拉開，露出了后面整整齊齊坐著的一隊支持者，每個人手里都拿著一面小國旗。他們可能是為媒體拍照和直播總統演講做背景。

大屏幕播放了一段奧巴馬的宣傳片，人們看完之后明顯開始激動，齊聲高喊“再來4年”、“準備好了”。

幾首慶祝音樂不斷播放，奧巴馬還沒有來。

“奧巴馬來了”

凌晨，將近20分鐘的等待，就在人們都開始揉腿扭腰的時候——奧巴馬來了。

一掃一天前的哀傷，勝利后的奧巴馬顯得神采飛揚。他的開場白是一連串的“謝謝你們”。

奧巴馬說：“我們前路艱難，旅程長久，但是我們準備抗爭，美國最好的時刻還沒有到來。”“是的，好。”記者身邊一位高大的中年選民隨聲附和。

“我知道，政治競選有時候看起來很愚蠢。這為憤世嫉俗者們提供了很多素材。他們說，政治不過是為特殊利益集團服務的游戲，但是，如果有機會和支持者對話，或者看到志愿者遠離家鄉，在偏遠縣城里工作到深夜，這個時候，你會發現一些不同。”

當展館上空飄下無數彩色紙屑，奧巴馬以“謝謝”結束演講。他、副總統拜登及兩人的家人一起在臺上對觀眾揮手致意，當所有人都已經走入后臺，走在最后的奧巴馬又轉回身，對著臺下的支持者揮手。

本報記者現場直擊奧巴馬大本營勝利之夜

加州“救了”奧巴馬

當地時間6日晚，芝加哥飄起蒙蒙細雨，一向冷清的麥考密克會展中心卻聚集了上萬人。大家在等待奧巴馬到來，發表獲勝演說。這里，是民主黨大選之夜的慶祝舉辦地。奧巴馬的勝利之夜，簡陋的場館成了人的海洋。

老婦疲勞栽倒

6日整整一天，奧巴馬都在“大本營”芝加哥度過，有人說他呆在自己家中，靜靜等待結果；有人說他在打籃球。一天前，奧巴馬在艾奧瓦州結束了最后的競選活動，激動得泣不成聲。

“我的男孩，奧巴馬，他一定能贏。”黑人選民賽繆·阿德狄亞姆對記者說，“羅姆尼領先，那都是謊言，他們不愿意看到一位黑人總統。”

“奧巴馬為中產階級和工人著想，而不是為了富人著想。他一定能贏。”亞裔選民艾麗卡激動地說。

“今晚感覺非常好”、“再來4年”、“一定能贏”的聲音在支持者們進場的時候此起彼伏。入場通道兩旁，一側是媒體記者的長槍短炮，閃光燈不住閃爍，待遇有點像走奧斯卡紅毯的感覺；另一側是大批沒有座位的支持者，一直站在那里幾個小時。有一名老婦人因為體力不支而栽倒，不過她被人們扶起來后，并沒有離去。

加州成轉折點

大廳內放著好幾個大屏幕，上面不停播放奧巴馬和拜登的宣傳片。從6日晚8點多開始，大屏幕便不斷插播計票結束州的結果。

開始時，只要播放奧巴馬獲勝的州，人群就爆發出歡呼聲。但到9點多，當奧巴馬的得票一度落后，羅姆尼似乎遙遙領先時，一位媒體記者不禁驚叫：“我的天啊。”

在播放羅姆尼獲勝州票數的時候，全場似乎都安靜了。轉到奧巴馬的時候，歡呼也不再如開始那么熱烈。

轉折出現在加州！主持人宣布：“奧巴馬贏得加州！”55張選舉人票收入囊中，總比分立即超出。

支持者喜極而泣

隨后的勝利越來越多——10點多，奧巴馬贏得艾奧瓦州、新墨西哥州??人們越來越興奮，互相擁抱歡呼。坐在座位上的支持者紛紛站了起來，大聲歡呼。

勝利來得令人猝不及防。幾分鐘后，大屏幕突然顯示：突發新聞，奧巴馬獲得273票！很多人愣了一下子，然后都說“贏了，奧巴馬贏了”。

人群沸騰了，記者開始滿場奔跑，支持者互相擁抱，喜極而泣，人們紛紛喊著“奧巴馬，奧巴馬”，隨著樂曲跳起舞蹈??

敗選演講羅姆尼稱心系美國

6日晚，羅姆尼在波士頓對支持者發表了簡短的敗選演說。這位第二次競選總統失敗的億萬富翁說，他之所以參加競選，是出于對國家的關切。

“我剛剛打電話給奧巴馬總統，祝賀他的勝利。”羅姆尼開頭便說，“他的支持者和他的競選陣營都值得這一祝賀。”

接下來，羅姆尼的演講充滿了感謝言辭，他逐一向他的搭檔——副總統候選人瑞恩，妻子安，為他拉票的兒子們，競選團隊的領頭人，以及遍及全國的志愿者、籌款人、捐款者表示感謝。

“在過去數年的時間里，你們所做的努力是無與倫比的，真的謝謝你們！”羅姆尼說。

表達完謝意后，羅姆尼將話題轉到美國現狀。他說，美國正處在一個關鍵的時刻，“我們不能將時間花費到黨派之爭和政治作秀上，我們的領導人必須克服困難，為民眾服務。而我們公民們，也應該參與進來。”

羅姆尼說，他之所以參加競選，是出于對國家的關切。他“提醒”奧巴馬，不應忘記美國立國原則，“我深信，這個國家賴以立國的基本理念，才是我們恢復經濟，復興國家的唯一指導”。

羅姆尼最后說，他和自己的支持者，都會為奧巴馬祈禱，盡管他與后者領導這個國家的理念不同。

“我如此希望我能像你們所期待的那樣，領導這個國家走一條不同的路，但民眾選擇了另一位領導人。因此，安和我要和你們一起，真誠地為他（奧巴馬）祈禱，為這個偉大的國家祈禱。謝謝你們，上帝保佑美國。”（百千）

●我想感謝每一位親身參與大選的美國人。無論這是你第一次投票，或是在隊伍中等待了很久；無論你是步行前往，還是拿起電話；無論你舉的牌子上，寫的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼。你的聲音都會被聽到，你也一樣帶來了改變。

●20年前，如果沒有那位同意嫁給我的女人，我今天也不可能站在這里。讓我告訴所有人吧：米歇爾，我對你的愛，是如此深切。我也看到，作為第一夫人，你也贏得了除我外其他美國人的愛。對此，我是如此的驕傲自豪。

●在這個有著三億人口的國家中，民主會顯得喧嘩、混亂、復雜。我們有自己的觀點，每個人都有自己堅定的信仰。當面對困難的時候，當我們的國家需要作出重大的決定的時候，它必然會激發熱情，掀起爭議。這些在今晚之后都不會改變，也不應被改變。這些爭論是我們自由的印記。

Transcript: Obama's victoryspeech

President Barack Obama delivered remarks Wednesday in Chicago.Readbelow for a transcript of Obama's remarks.OBAMA: Thank you.Thank you.Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the rightto determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our unionmoves forward.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: It moves forward because of you.It moves forward becauseyou reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war anddepression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depthsof despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while eachof us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an Americanfamily and we rise or fall together as one nation and as onepeople.(APPLAUSE)Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded usthat while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long,we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and weknow in our hearts that for the United States of America the bestis yet to come.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: I want to thank every American who participated in thiselection...(APPLAUSE)...whether you voted for the very first time or waited in linefor a very long time.(APPLAUSE)By the way, we have to fix that.(APPLAUSE)Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone...(APPLAUSE)...whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you madeyour voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him andPaul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.(APPLAUSE)We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love thiscountry deeply and we care so strongly about its future.FromGeorge to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen togive back to America through public service and that is the legacythat we honor and applaud tonight.(APPLAUSE)In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down withGovernor Romney to talk about where we can work together to movethis country forward.(APPLAUSE)I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years,America's happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could everhope for, Joe Biden.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the womanwho agreed to marry me 20 years ago.(APPLAUSE)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 lovewith you, too, as our nation's first lady.(APPLAUSE)Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're growing up tobecome two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like yourmom.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And I'm so proud of you guys.But I will say that for nowone dog's probably enough.(LAUGHTER)To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history ofpolitics...(APPLAUSE)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.(APPLAUSE)But all of you are family.No matter what you do or where you gofrom here, you will carry the memory of the history we madetogether and you will have the life-long appreciation of a gratefulpresident.Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill,through every valley.(APPLAUSE)You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful foreverything that you've done and all the incredible work that youput in.(APPLAUSE)I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, evensilly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tellus that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or thedomain of special interests.But if you ever get the chance to talkto folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a ropeline in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaignoffice in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discoversomething else.OBAMA: You'll hear the determination in the voice of a youngfield organizer who's working his way through college and wants tomake sure every child has that same opportunity.(APPLAUSE)You'll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who's goingdoor to door because her brother was finally hired when the localauto plant added another shift.(APPLAUSE)You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a militaryspouse whose working the phones late at night to make sure that noone who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or aroof over their head when they come home.(APPLAUSE)That's why we do this.That's what politics can be.That's whyelections matter.It's not small, it's big.It's important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy andcomplicated.We have our own opinions.Each of us has deeply heldbeliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make bigdecisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs upcontroversy.That won't change after tonight, and it shouldn't.Thesearguments we have are a mark of our liberty.We can never forgetthat as we speak people in distant nations are risking their livesright now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter,the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.(APPLAUSE)But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopesfor America's future.We want our kids to grow up in a countrywhere they have access to the best schools and the bestteachers.(APPLAUSE)A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader intechnology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs andnew businesses that follow.OBAMA: We want our children to live in an America that isn'tburdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn'tthreatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.(APPLAUSE)We want to pass on a country that's safe and respected andadmired around the world, a nation that is defended by thestrongest military on earth and the best troops thisthat's the future we hope for.That's the vision we share.That's where we need to go-forward.(APPLAUSE)That's where we need to go.Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to getthere.As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come infits and starts.It's not always a straight line.It's not always asmooth path.By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreamswon't end all the gridlock or solve all our problems or substitutefor the painstaking work of building consensus and making thedifficult compromises needed to move this country forward.But thatcommon bond is where we must begin.Our economy is recovering.Adecade of war is ending.A long campaign is now over.(APPLAUSE)And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, Ihave learned from you, and you've made me a better president.Andwith your stories and your struggles, I return to the White Housemore determined and more inspired than ever about the work there isto do and the future that lies ahead.(APPLAUSE)Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.(APPLAUSE)You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.And in thecoming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out andworking with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we canonly 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.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: But that doesn't mean your work is done.The role ofcitizens in our Democracy does not end with your vote.America'snever been about what can be done for us.It's about what can bedone by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessarywork of self-government.That's the principle we were foundedon.(APPLAUSE)This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's notwhat makes us rich.We have the most powerful military in history,but that's not what makes us strong.Our university, our cultureare all the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the worldcoming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold togetherthe most diverse nation on earth.OBAMA: The belief that our destiny is shared;that this countryonly works when we accept certain obligations to one another and tofuture generations.The freedom which so many Americans have foughtfor and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights.Andamong those are love and charity and duty and patriotism.That'swhat makes America great.(APPLAUSE)I am hopeful tonight because I've seen the spirit at work inAmerica.I've seen it in the family business whose owners wouldrather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in theworkers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friendlose a job.I've seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limband in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness anddanger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watchingtheir back.(APPLAUSE)I've seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, whereleaders from every party and level of government have swept asidetheir differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage ofa terrible storm.(APPLAUSE)And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a fathertold the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle withleukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been forhealth care reform passing just a few months before the insurancecompany was about to stop paying for her care.(APPLAUSE)I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father, but meetthis incredible daughter of his.And when he spoke to the crowdlistening to that father's story, every parent in that room hadtears in their eyes, because we knew that little girl could be ourown.And I know that every American wants her future to be just asbright.That's who we are.That's the country I'm so proud to leadas your president.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through,despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been morehopeful about our future.(APPLAUSE)I have never been more hopeful about America.And I ask you tosustain that hope.I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kindof hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or theroadblocks that stand in our path.I'm not talking about thewishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines orshirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing insideus that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, thatsomething better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keepreaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.(APPLAUSE)America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made andcontinue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new securityfor the middle class.I believe we can keep the promise of ourfounders, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn'tmatter who you are or where you come from or what you look like orwhere you love.It doesn't matter whether you're black or white orHispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich orpoor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here inAmerica if you're willing to try.(APPLAUSE)I believe we can seize this future together because we are notas divided as our politics suggests.We're not as cynical as thepundits believe.We are greater than the sum of our individualambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states andblue states.We are and forever will be the United States ofAmerica.(APPLAUSE)And together with your help and God's grace we will continue ourjourney forward and remind the world just why it is that we live inthe greatest nation on Earth.Thank you, America.God bless you.God bless these UnitedStates.(APPLAUSE)
