第一篇：2016米歇爾助選演講拯救希拉里

2016米歇爾助選演講拯救希拉里

Thank you all, thank you so much.It is hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝大家，非常感謝。我第一次在這個(gè)大會(huì)發(fā)言時(shí)，說的是為什么我的丈夫?qū)⒊蔀榭偨y(tǒng)，很難相信，這已是八年前的事了。

Remember how I told you about his character and his conviction? His decency and grace? The traits we have seen every day as he has served our country in the White House.還記得我夸他的人格和信仰嗎？我說他正派、優(yōu)雅，現(xiàn)在我們每天都看他在白宮為國盡瘁。

I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world, and during our time in the White House we have had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women.我還說到我們的女兒，我們的心肝寶貝，我們世界的中心。我們在白宮的日子中，看著她們從活潑的小女孩長成亭亭的大姑娘。

A journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington when they set off for their first day at their new school.I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those men with guns.And with all their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, 'What have we done?'

我們住進(jìn)白宮后，她們在新學(xué)校開始了新的旅程。我不會(huì)忘記那個(gè)冬天的早晨，我看著我們的女兒，一個(gè)7歲，一個(gè)10歲，被塞進(jìn)黑色的SUV，護(hù)送的人荷槍實(shí)彈。她們的小臉蛋貼在窗戶上，我心里想得是“我們到底做了些什么？”

At that moment, I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation of who they would become.And how well we manage this experience could truly make or break them.那一刻，我意識(shí)到我們在白宮的歲月將成為她們未來人生的基石。我們怎樣應(yīng)對這種經(jīng)歷，會(huì)成就她們，也會(huì)毀掉她們。

That is what Barack and I think about every day as he tried to guide and protect our girls from the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight.How we urged them to ignore those who question their father's citizenship or faith.這也是為什么奧巴馬和我每天都在想這件事，他努力引導(dǎo)她們應(yīng)對并盡量讓她們避免聚光燈下的不凡生活所帶來的挑戰(zhàn)，我們督促她們不要在意那些對父親的公民權(quán)或信仰的質(zhì)疑。

How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level.Our motto is, when they go low, we go high.我們堅(jiān)決地告訴她們公眾人物在電視上充滿仇恨的語言不代表這個(gè)國家的真精神。我們解釋說，有人殘酷無情、盛氣凌人，你不能和他們在一個(gè)水平上。我們的格言是，他們沒品味，我們有格調(diào)。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are the most important role-model.我們說每句話，做每件事，知道孩子們都在看著。作為父母，我們是最重要的榜樣。

Let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls but the children across this country.Kids who say, “I saw you on TV.” 我來告訴大家，奧巴馬和我作為總統(tǒng)和第一夫人也用同樣的方式工作，因?yàn)槲覀冎牢覀兊难孕兄兀粌H對女兒而言如此，對全國的孩子也是一樣。孩子們說：“我在電視上看到你了”。

Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope, and he wondered, 'Is my hair like yours?' Make no mistake about it, this November, when we get to the polls, that is what we are deciding.Not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.In this election, and every election, it is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.小黑孩兒仰望著我的丈夫，雙眼張大，充滿希望，他想知道：“我的頭發(fā)和你的一樣嗎？”別弄錯(cuò)，今年11月，當(dāng)我們投票時(shí)，這才是我們要決定的——不是民主黨或共和黨，也并非左翼、右翼。這一次選舉以及每一次選舉，都關(guān)乎我們將運(yùn)用這種權(quán)力在下一個(gè)四年或八年中塑造我們的孩子。

I am you tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.今晚我就是你們大家中的一員，因?yàn)檫@次大選中，我只信任一個(gè)人，我認(rèn)為只有她有資格成為美國總統(tǒng)，那就是我們的朋友希拉里·克林頓。

I trust Hillary to lead this country because I have seen her lifelong devotion to our nation's children.Not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion: kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs.Kids who wonder how they will ever afford college.Kids whose parents don't speak a word of English, but dream of a better life;who look to us to dream of what they can be.我信任由希拉里領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這個(gè)國家，因?yàn)槲铱此簧瞰I(xiàn)給我們國家的孩子。她自己的女兒，撫養(yǎng)出類拔萃，不僅如此，所有孩子都需要支持：那些上學(xué)路遠(yuǎn)卻要遠(yuǎn)離壞人的孩子；想上得起大學(xué)的孩子；那些不會(huì)說英語卻夢想著更好生活的孩子；指望著我們來擁有夢想的孩子。

Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless work to actually make a difference in their lives.Advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children's health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the senate.幾十年來，希拉里不懈努力，讓他們的生活得到改善。年輕時(shí)作為律師，她為有殘疾的孩子出頭，做第一夫人時(shí)為孩子們的健康呼走，做參議員時(shí)主張更好關(guān)愛孩子。

And when she did not win the nomination eight years ago, she did not get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home because...Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own disappointment.八年前沒有獲得提名，她沒有發(fā)怒，也沒有幻滅。希拉里沒有收拾包袱打道回府，因?yàn)樗烙幸患卤人约旱氖楦又匾?/p>

She proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.她挺身而出，以國務(wù)卿的身份再次為我們國家服務(wù)，走遍全球，保障我們的孩子安全。

There were moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being [torn] apart for how she looked, or how she talked, or even how she laughed.很多時(shí)候，希拉里本該知道這個(gè)工作太艱難，公共服務(wù)的代價(jià)太高，自己的形象、說話方式甚至笑的方式都引發(fā)爭吵，這讓她疲憊不堪。

But here's the thing: What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.可事實(shí)上，我最敬佩希拉里的地方在于她從未屈服于壓力，也從不取巧，在生活中從不退縮。

And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that is what I want.I want someone with the proven strength to persevere.Somebody who knows this job and takes it seriously.Somebody who understands that the issues of our nation are not black or white.It cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.想想我的女兒們和所有我們的孩子，她就是我想要的總統(tǒng)。我需要那個(gè)被證明不屈不撓的人；那個(gè)知道該怎么做，并認(rèn)真去做的人；那個(gè)了解我們的國家事務(wù)而不是主張非黑即白的人。國家大事不是寫一條140字的推文就能解決的。

Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can't make snap decisions.You can't have thin skin or a tendency to lash out.You need to be steady and measured and well informed.因?yàn)槟阒讣馍嫌泻税l(fā)射密碼，軍隊(duì)聽你指揮，你不能一拍腦袋就做出決定。你不能面子薄，也不能只會(huì)批判。你需要穩(wěn)健、有節(jié)、見多識(shí)廣。

I want a president with a record of public service.Someone whose life's work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves;we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我們需要一個(gè)有公共服務(wù)經(jīng)歷的總統(tǒng)，其工作向我們的孩子表明，我們不因自己而追名逐利，我們的奮斗讓每個(gè)人都有機(jī)會(huì)成功。

A president that truly believes that our founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.When crisis hits, we don't turn against each other, we listen to each other.We lean on each other.We are always stronger together.我們需要的總統(tǒng)是真心相信我們的國父在多年前提出的準(zhǔn)則，即所有人生來平等，每個(gè)人都是偉大美國故事中最可愛的部分。危機(jī)來臨，我們不相互攻訐，我們彼此傾聽，我們互相學(xué)習(xí)，我們在一起總會(huì)更加強(qiáng)大。

I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president Hillary Clinton will be and that is why in this election, I'm with her.今晚我站在這里，因?yàn)槲抑老＠锟偨y(tǒng)就是這樣的。正因?yàn)槿绱耍谶@次大選中，我支持她。

You see, Hillary understands that the presidency is about one thing and one thing only.It is about leaving something better for our kids.That is how we have always moved this country forward by all of us coming together on behalf of our children.你瞧，希拉里明白當(dāng)總統(tǒng)該干的事，且只該干這件事，那就是給我們的孩子留下更美好的遺產(chǎn)。我們就是這樣以孩子的名義，共同推動(dòng)著國家的進(jìn)步。

Volunteering to coach the team, teach the Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to pass on those blessings of liberty;police officers and protesters in Dallas who all that really want to keep our children safe;people who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, or their daughter in the club.志愿訓(xùn)練隊(duì)伍，在主日學(xué)校教書，因?yàn)樗麄冎肋@值得花功夫。無論膚色和信仰，穿制服的英雄們冒著生命危險(xiǎn)將這些自由的祝福傳遞下去。達(dá)拉斯的警員和抗議者真心希望保護(hù)我們孩子們的安全。那些在奧蘭多獻(xiàn)血的人排起長隊(duì)，因?yàn)槟且部赡苁撬麄兊膬鹤踊蚺畠骸?/p>

Leaders like Tim Kaine, who show our kids what decency and devotion look like.Leaders like Hillary Clinton, who have the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in the highest and hardest glass ceiling until they finally break through, lifting all of us along with her.像蒂姆·凱恩這樣的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，讓我們的孩子們知道什么是正直與奉獻(xiàn)；像希拉里這樣的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，有勇氣、有雅量再次歸來，打碎最高、最艱難的天花板，直到最終取得突破，讓所有人都和她一起提升。

That is the story of this country.The story that has brought me to the stage tonight.The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, who kept on striving, and hoping, and doing what needed to be done.這才是我們國家的故事，這個(gè)故事今晚把我?guī)现v臺(tái)。這是一代代人的故事，他們曾遭受繩索的捆扎、為奴的恥辱、受隔離的傷痛，他們卻不斷奮斗，充滿希望，完成使命。

So that today, I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.And I watch my daughters a€” two beautiful intelligent black young women a€” play with the dog on the White House lawn.如今，我每天早上都從一所奴隸修建的房屋中醒來，我看著我的女兒，兩個(gè)漂亮聰慧的黑人姑娘在白宮草坪上逗狗。

And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.因?yàn)橄＠铮业呐畠汉退腥说膬号畟儸F(xiàn)在都理所當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為一個(gè)女人可以做合眾國總統(tǒng)。

Don't let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great.That somehow we need to make it great again.Because this right now is the greatest country on Earth.別讓人對你說這個(gè)國家不再偉大了，現(xiàn)在我們需要想辦法讓她再次偉大，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在她就是地球上最偉大的國家。

And as my daughters set out on the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader worthy of my girls' promise and all of our kids' promise.A leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.我的女兒們開始闖世界了，我需要一個(gè)配得上這一事實(shí)的領(lǐng)袖，配得上我對女兒的承諾和都所有孩子們承諾的領(lǐng)袖。這個(gè)領(lǐng)袖每天被愛和希望引領(lǐng)，被我們?yōu)楹⒆觽冊O(shè)想的難以置信的偉大夢想所引領(lǐng)。

In this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best, we cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical.Hear me: Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.這次大選，我們不能無所作為，希望一切都會(huì)完美，我們經(jīng)受不起倦怠、泄氣或玩世不恭。聽我說：從現(xiàn)在到11月，我們要像八年前和四年前一樣振作。

We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of passion into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America.Let's get to work.我們需要挨家挨戶地敲門，我們需要獲得每一張選票，我們需要把最后一分熱情注入選舉希拉里·克林頓為美利堅(jiān)合眾國總統(tǒng)的事業(yè)中來。讓我們開始行動(dòng)吧。

Thank you all and God bless.謝謝，上帝保佑。

第二篇：2016年米歇爾助選希拉里民主黨全國大會(huì)演講

2016年米歇爾助選希拉里演講稿（中英文）

Thank you all.Thank you so much.You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝各位，謝謝。真是令人難以置信，八年就這樣過去了。八年前，我第一次站在這個(gè)大會(huì)上告訴諸位，為什么我的丈夫應(yīng)該成為總統(tǒng)。

Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House? 大家還記得嗎，我向你們介紹他的品質(zhì)與信念，說著他的正派與慈悲，以及他在白宮為國操勞的每一天向我們展現(xiàn)的所有優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world.And during our time in the White House, we’ve had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington.我那時(shí)還向各位說起我們的女兒，說起她們是我們寶貝的心頭肉，是我們眼里世界的中心。在白宮度過的這段時(shí)光里，我們歡欣地看著她們從熱情活潑的小女孩長大為舉止沉穩(wěn)的年輕女性，這是一趟自我們抵達(dá)華盛頓之時(shí)就已開始的成長旅程。

When they set off for their first day at their new school, I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those big men with guns.And I saw their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, what have we done? 我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記她們第一天出發(fā)去新學(xué)校的場景。那個(gè)冬天的早晨，我目送我們7歲和10歲的女兒鉆進(jìn)黑色的SUV車?yán)铮阒齻兊娜浅謽尩膲褲h。我看著她們把小臉貼在車窗上往外張望，那時(shí)候我想到的唯一一件事是：我們這是做錯(cuò)了什么？

See, because at that moment I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.對，就是在那一刻，我意識(shí)到，在白宮的日子將會(huì)對她們的成長蛻變起到至關(guān)重要的影響。我們?nèi)裟芎煤玫貞?yīng)對這段經(jīng)歷，這段日子將會(huì)成就她們；如果不能，這些經(jīng)歷則會(huì)把她們帶入歧途。

That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith.How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level.No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.這就是我和巴拉克每一天所思考的問題。我們努力地引導(dǎo)我們的孩子，保護(hù)她們不受這聚光燈之下的不尋常生活的傷害，鼓勵(lì)她們不去在意別人對她們的爸爸的國籍或信念的質(zhì)疑。我們堅(jiān)持讓她們相信，電視上那些公共人物說出來的滿帶恨意的話并不能代表這個(gè)國家真正的精神。我們向她們解釋，有些人可能殘忍而霸道，但這不意味著你可以墮落到與他們一樣。絕不可以，我們的信條是，當(dāng)別人往道德的低處走時(shí)，我們要繼續(xù)向高處前行。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are their most important role models.And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school.Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours? 我們知道，父母的言行舉止時(shí)時(shí)刻刻都被孩子們所關(guān)注，我們是她們最重要的榜樣。我想告訴各位，巴拉克和我一直以同樣的心態(tài)對待總統(tǒng)與第一夫人的工作。因?yàn)槲覀兩钪覀兯f的話，我們所做的事，不僅僅被自家孩子所關(guān)注，更同時(shí)被這個(gè)國家所有的孩子聽到和看到。這些孩子可能會(huì)對我說，“我在電視上看過你”或是“我在一份作業(yè)里寫了你”，也可能就像那個(gè)抬頭帶著希望看著我丈夫的黑人小男孩，心里充滿好奇，“我的頭發(fā)和你的是一樣的嗎？”

And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we’re deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.毫無疑問，今年11月我們?nèi)ネ镀睍r(shí)，要做的就是這樣一個(gè)決定，不是選擇民主黨或共和黨，也不管左翼右翼之分。就同每一場選舉一樣，這場選舉決定的是由誰來掌握一個(gè)大權(quán)，由誰來影響塑造孩子們生命中接下來的四年或六年。

And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.今晚，我站在這里，因?yàn)樵谶@場選舉中，只有一個(gè)人,讓我放心地將這個(gè)責(zé)任交付；只有一個(gè)人，我相信真正有能力勝任美國總統(tǒng)一職。這個(gè)人就是我們的朋友，希拉里?克林頓。

That’s right.就是如此。See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they’ll ever afford college, kids whose parents don’t speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.我堅(jiān)信希拉里能夠領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這個(gè)國家，因?yàn)槲乙娮C了她以一生奉獻(xiàn)予這個(gè)國家的孩子們，不僅僅是她那被栽培得近乎完美的女兒，更包括每一個(gè)需要保護(hù)的孩子——保護(hù)每一個(gè)需要走長長的路上學(xué)的孩子不受到犯罪團(tuán)伙的傷害，幫助那些困惑于為何自己負(fù)擔(dān)不起大學(xué)費(fèi)用的孩子、那些自己的父母并不懂得說一句英語但自身夢想過上更好生活的孩子、那些等待著我們?nèi)Q定他們的未來的孩子。

You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the Senate.如你們所見，希拉里在幾十年間一直任勞任怨地工作，為的是真正地使孩子們的生活有所不同。當(dāng)她是個(gè)年輕律師時(shí)，她就為殘障兒童的權(quán)益發(fā)聲；后來她成了第一夫人，她為孩子們的醫(yī)療保障奔忙；在國務(wù)卿任上，她依然在為孩子們爭取高質(zhì)量的保育環(huán)境。

And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments.So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.并且，八年前她競選失利之后，她并不惱怒，也沒有灰心喪氣。希拉里沒有打包走人，因?yàn)樽鳛橐粋€(gè)真正的公共利益服務(wù)者，她懂得這份事業(yè)比個(gè)人的欲望與失望重要得多。所以，她又挺身而出，以國務(wù)卿的身份為我們的國家服務(wù)，為孩子們的安全走遍全球。

And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs.But here’s the thing.What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.很多時(shí)候希拉里都可以抱怨她的工作有多難，為人民付出的代價(jià)有多大，自己的外貌或言語甚至笑容時(shí)刻被人指責(zé)有多心累。可是，我最佩服她的一點(diǎn)，就是無論面對多大的壓力，她都不會(huì)垮掉，也從來不會(huì)偷懶。在她的世界里，永無放棄可言。And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.所以，當(dāng)我想象一個(gè)能為我的女兒和所有孩子帶來美好和希望的美國總統(tǒng)的樣子，這就是我想要的。

I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.我想要一個(gè)真正有能力堅(jiān)持下去的人，一個(gè)了解這份工作、嚴(yán)肅對待它的人，一個(gè)懂得總統(tǒng)面對的問題不是非黑即白，也不能短短歸結(jié)為140個(gè)字的人。

Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions.You can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out.You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.因?yàn)楫?dāng)核武器的發(fā)射密碼就在你指尖，并且手握著整個(gè)國家軍隊(duì)的時(shí)候，你不可以做出輕率的決定。你不能死要面子，也不能一戳就發(fā)火。你必須運(yùn)籌帷幄、深思熟慮、見識(shí)廣博。

I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我心目中的總統(tǒng)，要有從事公眾服務(wù)的紀(jì)錄，用畢生工作向孩子們證明，我們奮斗的目標(biāo)不是追名逐利，而是讓每個(gè)人都有成功的機(jī)會(huì)。

And we give back even when we’re struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off.And there but for the grace of God go I.就算當(dāng)我們苦苦掙扎的時(shí)候，也要回報(bào)這個(gè)社會(huì)，因?yàn)榭傆腥说纳畋饶氵€艱難。我們沒吃他們的苦，是因?yàn)樯系劬祛櫋?/p>

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.我想要的總統(tǒng)，應(yīng)當(dāng)告訴孩子們，我們國家的每一個(gè)人都很重要。他要深信國父們數(shù)百年前的理念，人人生而平等，每一個(gè)人都是偉大美國歷史珍視的一部分。

And when crisis hits, we don’t turn against each other.No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.當(dāng)危機(jī)到來時(shí)，我們絕不分崩離析。我們互相傾聽，相互扶持，因?yàn)閳F(tuán)結(jié)才會(huì)讓我們更加強(qiáng)大。

And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be.And that’s why in this election I’m with her.今晚我在這里就是想告訴大家，希拉里就會(huì)是這樣一位總統(tǒng)。這就是為什么在這場大選中，我站在她的一邊。

You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.她懂得作為一個(gè)總統(tǒng)，最主要的任務(wù)就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。為了孩子而團(tuán)結(jié)起來，我們的國家就是這樣不斷進(jìn)步的。不論是志愿做學(xué)生隊(duì)教練的人，還是去當(dāng)主日學(xué)的教師，他們都明白，培養(yǎng)下一代，需要整個(gè)國家的力量。

第三篇：米歇爾“拯救”希拉里的這篇演講太精彩

米歇爾“拯救”希拉里的這篇演講太精彩

看完這段視頻，你就更能夠理解特朗普的夫人為什么學(xué)米歇爾?奧巴馬說話了。

米歇爾在民主黨全國代表大會(huì)（Democratic National Convention, DNC）上演講，為希拉里背書，激昂慷慨、氣場十足、極富感染力。演講從她自己的兩個(gè)女兒出發(fā)，始終圍繞人性最柔軟的話題，孩子。她告訴所有的聽眾：The president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.一個(gè)總統(tǒng)，最主要的任務(wù)就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。

米歇爾只字未提特朗普，卻給了一個(gè)漂亮的回?fù)簦核f這個(gè)國家需要的不是仇恨與猜忌，而是愛、平等與希望——“When they go low, we go high.”當(dāng)別人往道德的低處走時(shí)，我們要繼續(xù)向高處前行。這場演講一結(jié)束，學(xué)習(xí)“如何形容一場演講很棒”的一大波資源就上線了。外媒是這樣措辭的：Michelle Obama could be Hillary Clinton's ace in the hole米歇爾或成希拉里的最后王牌 The First Lady is a powerful surrogate to Clinton米歇爾是希拉里強(qiáng)有力的代言人

Thank you all.Thank you so much.You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝各位，謝謝。真是令人難以置信，八年就這樣過去了。八年前，我第一次站在這個(gè)大會(huì)上告訴諸位，為什么我的丈夫應(yīng)該成為總統(tǒng)。

Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House?

大家還記得嗎，我向你們介紹他的品質(zhì)與信念，說著他的正派與慈悲，以及他在白宮為國操勞的每一天向我們展現(xiàn)的所有優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world.And during our time in the White House, we’ve had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington.我那時(shí)還向各位說起我們的女兒，說起她們是我們寶貝的心頭肉，是我們眼里世界的中心。在白宮度過的這段時(shí)光里，我們歡欣地看著她們從熱情活潑的小女孩長大為舉止沉穩(wěn)的年輕女性，這是一趟自我們抵達(dá)華盛頓之時(shí)就已開始的成長旅程

When they set off for their first day at their new school, I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those big men with guns.And I saw their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, what have we done? 我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記她們第一天出發(fā)去新學(xué)校的場景。那個(gè)冬天的早晨，我目送我們7歲和10歲的女兒鉆進(jìn)黑色的SUV車?yán)铮阒齻兊娜浅謽尩膲褲h。我看著她們把小臉貼在車窗上往外張望，那時(shí)候我想到的唯一一件事是：我們這是做錯(cuò)了什么？

See, because at that moment I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.對，就是在那一刻，我意識(shí)到，在白宮的日子將會(huì)對她們的成長蛻變起到至關(guān)重要的影響。我們?nèi)裟芎煤玫貞?yīng)對這段經(jīng)歷，這段日子將會(huì)成就她們；如果不能，這些經(jīng)歷則會(huì)把她們帶入歧途。That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith.How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level.No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.這就是我和巴拉克每一天所思考的問題。我們努力地引導(dǎo)我們的孩子，保護(hù)她們不受這聚光燈之下的不尋常生活的傷害，鼓勵(lì)她們不去在意別人對她們的爸爸的國籍或信念的質(zhì)疑。我們堅(jiān)持讓她們相信，電視上那些公共人物說出來的滿帶恨意的話并不能代表這個(gè)國家真正的精神。我們向她們解釋，有些人可能殘忍而霸道，但這不意味著你可以墮落到與他們一樣。絕不可以，我們的信條是，當(dāng)別人往道德的低處走時(shí)，我們要繼續(xù)向高處前行。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are their most important role models.And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school.Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours? 我們知道，父母的言行舉止時(shí)時(shí)刻刻都被孩子們所關(guān)注，我們是她們最重要的榜樣。我想告訴各位，巴拉克和我一直以同樣的心態(tài)對待總統(tǒng)與第一夫人的工作。因?yàn)槲覀兩钪覀兯f的話，我們所做的事，不僅僅被自家孩子所關(guān)注，更同時(shí)被這個(gè)國家所有的孩子聽到和看到。這些孩子可能會(huì)對我說，“我在電視上看過你”或是“我在一份作業(yè)里寫了你”，也可能就像那個(gè)抬頭帶著希望看著我丈夫的黑人小男孩，心里充滿好奇，“我的頭發(fā)和你的是一樣的嗎？”

And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we’re deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.毫無疑問，今年11月我們?nèi)ネ镀睍r(shí)，要做的就是這樣一個(gè)決定，不是選擇民主黨或共和黨，也不管左翼右翼之分。就同每一場選舉一樣，這場選舉決定的是由誰來掌握一個(gè)大權(quán)，由誰來影響塑造孩子們生命中接下來的四年或六年。

And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.今晚，我站在這里，因?yàn)樵谶@場選舉中，只有一個(gè)人,讓我放心地將這個(gè)責(zé)任交付；只有一個(gè)人，我相信真正有能力勝任美國總統(tǒng)一職。這個(gè)人就是我們的朋友，希拉里?克林頓。That’s right.就是如此。

See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they’ll ever afford college, kids whose parents don’t speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.我堅(jiān)信希拉里能夠領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這個(gè)國家，因?yàn)槲乙娮C了她以一生奉獻(xiàn)予這個(gè)國家的孩子們，不僅僅是她那被栽培得近乎完美的女兒，更包括每一個(gè)需要保護(hù)的孩子——保護(hù)每一個(gè)需要走長長的路上學(xué)的孩子不受到犯罪團(tuán)伙的傷害，幫助那些困惑于為何自己負(fù)擔(dān)不起大學(xué)費(fèi)用的孩子、那些自己的父母并不懂得說一句英語但自身夢想過上更好生活的孩子、那些等待著我們?nèi)Q定他們的未來的孩子。

You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the Senate.如你們所見，希拉里在幾十年間一直任勞任怨地工作，為的是真正地使孩子們的生活有所不同。當(dāng)她是個(gè)年輕律師時(shí)，她就為殘障兒童的權(quán)益發(fā)聲；后來她成了第一夫人，她為孩子們的醫(yī)療保障奔忙；在國務(wù)卿任上，她依然在為孩子們爭取高質(zhì)量的保育環(huán)境。And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments.So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.并且，八年前她競選失利之后，她并不惱怒，也沒有灰心喪氣。希拉里沒有打包走人，因?yàn)樽鳛橐粋€(gè)真正的公共利益服務(wù)者，她懂得這份事業(yè)比個(gè)人的欲望與失望重要得多。所以，她又挺身而出，以國務(wù)卿的身份為我們的國家服務(wù)，為孩子們的安全走遍全球。

And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs.But here’s the thing.What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.很多時(shí)候希拉里都可以抱怨她的工作有多難，為人民付出的代價(jià)有多大，自己的外貌或言語甚至笑容時(shí)刻被人指責(zé)有多心累。可是，我最佩服她的一點(diǎn)，就是無論面對多大的壓力，她都不會(huì)垮掉，也從來不會(huì)偷懶。在她的世界里，永無放棄可言。

And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.所以，當(dāng)我想象一個(gè)能為我的女兒和所有孩子帶來美好和希望的美國總統(tǒng)的樣子，這就是我想要的。I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.我想要一個(gè)真正有能力堅(jiān)持下去的人，一個(gè)了解這份工作、嚴(yán)肅對待它的人，一個(gè)懂得總統(tǒng)面對的問題不是非黑即白，也不能短短歸結(jié)為140個(gè)字的人。

Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions.You can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out.You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.因?yàn)楫?dāng)核武器的發(fā)射密碼就在你指尖，并且手握著整個(gè)國家軍隊(duì)的時(shí)候，你不可以做出輕率的決定。你不能死要面子，也不能一戳就發(fā)火。你必須運(yùn)籌帷幄、深思熟慮、見識(shí)廣博。

I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我心目中的總統(tǒng)，要有從事公眾服務(wù)的紀(jì)錄，用畢生工作向孩子們證明，我們奮斗的目標(biāo)不是追名逐利，而是讓每個(gè)人都有成功的機(jī)會(huì)。

And we give back even when we’re struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off.And there but for the grace of God go I.就算當(dāng)我們苦苦掙扎的時(shí)候，也要回報(bào)這個(gè)社會(huì)，因?yàn)榭傆腥说纳畋饶氵€艱難。我們沒吃他們的苦，是因?yàn)樯系劬祛櫋?/p>

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.我想要的總統(tǒng)，應(yīng)當(dāng)告訴孩子們，我們國家的每一個(gè)人都很重要。他要深信國父們數(shù)百年前的理念，人人生而平等，每一個(gè)人都是偉大美國歷史珍視的一部分。

And when crisis hits, we don’t turn against each other.No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.當(dāng)危機(jī)到來時(shí)，我們絕不分崩離析。我們互相傾聽，相互扶持，因?yàn)閳F(tuán)結(jié)才會(huì)讓我們更加強(qiáng)大。And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be.And that’s why in this election I’m with her.今晚我在這里就是想告訴大家，希拉里就會(huì)是這樣一位總統(tǒng)。這就是為什么在這場大選中，我站在她的一邊。

You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.她懂得作為一個(gè)總統(tǒng)，最主要的任務(wù)就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。為了孩子而團(tuán)結(jié)起來，我們的國家就是這樣不斷進(jìn)步的。不論是志愿做學(xué)生隊(duì)教練的人，還是去當(dāng)主日學(xué)的教師，他們都明白，培養(yǎng)下一代，需要整個(gè)國家的力量。

Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep passing down those blessings of liberty, police officers and the protesters in Dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe.People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.不同膚色和信仰的英雄們穿上制服，冒著生命危險(xiǎn)將自由的福祉傳承下去。在達(dá)拉斯，警察和抗議者們都在拼盡全力地呼吁保護(hù)孩子們的安全。在奧蘭多，人們排著隊(duì)獻(xiàn)血，因?yàn)樗麄冎溃峭碓诰瓢傻囊部赡芫褪撬麄兊暮⒆印?/p>

Leaders like Tim Kaine who show our kids what decency and devotion look like.Leaders like Hillary Clinton who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her.蒂姆?凱恩這樣的領(lǐng)袖讓孩子們懂得了什么是正直與奉獻(xiàn)。希拉里這樣的領(lǐng)袖擁有的勇氣和魅力，讓她一直沒有放棄，不斷地沖擊限制女性發(fā)展的那道最高最艱難的玻璃頂，直到她終于將其擊碎，并帶著我們一同提升。That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.這就是我們國家的故事，是這個(gè)故事讓我今天站在這里。在這個(gè)故事中，曾有世世代代的人遭受著壓迫和束縛，被奴役的恥辱和被隔離的痛苦。但是他們始終懷揣著希望，不息地抗?fàn)帲越裉斓奈也拍苊刻煸谟膳`建造的白宮里醒來，看著我的女兒們，兩個(gè)美麗聰敏的黑皮膚少女，與狗狗們在白宮的草坪上嬉戲。

And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls’ promise and all our kids’ promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.我的兩個(gè)女兒就要去闖蕩世界了，我希望能有一個(gè)領(lǐng)袖能夠配得上這個(gè)真相，值得托付我的女兒以及所有孩子們的前途，能用愛與希望，和我們寄予孩子的無限期望來指導(dǎo)其每一天。

So in this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best.We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical.No, hear me.Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.所以在這次選舉中，我們不能坐視著希望最后的結(jié)果是最好的，我們承受不起疲倦、沮喪或憤世嫉俗的代價(jià)。聽我說，從現(xiàn)在起到十一月份，我們要像8年前或4年前那樣，為之付出行動(dòng)。

We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!我們要挨家挨戶敲門，讓更多的人來投票。我們要用盡我們對這個(gè)國家的每一絲熱情、每一份力量，和每一點(diǎn)愛，來推選希拉里?克林頓成為美利堅(jiān)合眾國的總統(tǒng)！

第四篇：米歇爾拯救希拉里的這篇演講太精彩范文

米歇爾“拯救”希拉里的這篇演講太精彩，不容錯(cuò)過！

米歇爾在民主黨全國代表大會(huì)（Democratic National Convention, DNC）上演講，為希拉里背書，激昂慷慨、氣場十足、極富感染力。

演講從她自己的兩個(gè)女兒出發(fā)，始終圍繞人性最柔軟的話題，孩子。她告訴所有的聽眾：

她說這個(gè)國家需要的不是仇恨與猜忌，而是愛、平等與希望—— “When they go low, we go high.”

當(dāng)別人往道德的低處走時(shí)，我們要繼續(xù)向高處前行。

這場演講一結(jié)束，學(xué)習(xí)“如何形容一場演講很棒”的一大波資源就上線了。外媒是這樣措辭的：

speech for ages 千載難逢的演講

showstopper 因太精彩而屢次被掌聲打斷的演講

她的這場演講讓群眾激動(dòng)萬分（electrifies crowd），全場都坐不住了（get the crowd on their feet），整個(gè)大會(huì)的人都被感動(dòng)得熱淚盈眶（move the Democratic convention to tears）。這就是演講的力量，想學(xué)public speech的同學(xué)，一定不要錯(cuò)過。

雙語全文

Thank you all.Thank you so much.You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝各位，謝謝。真是令人難以置信，八年就這樣過去了。八年前，我第一次站在這個(gè)大會(huì)上告訴諸位，為什么我的丈夫應(yīng)該成為總統(tǒng)。

Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House? 大家還記得嗎，我向你們介紹他的品質(zhì)與信念，說著他的正派與慈悲，以及他在白宮為國操勞的每一天向我們展現(xiàn)的所有優(yōu)點(diǎn)。

That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith.How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level.No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.這就是我和巴拉克每一天所思考的問題。我們努力地引導(dǎo)我們的孩子，保護(hù)她們不受這聚光燈之下的不尋常生活的傷害，鼓勵(lì)她們不去在意別人對她們的爸爸的國籍或信念的質(zhì)疑。我們堅(jiān)持讓她們相信，電視上那些公共人物說出來的滿帶恨意的話并不能代表這個(gè)國家真正的精神。我們向她們解釋，有些人可能殘忍而霸道，但這不意味著你可以墮落到與他們一樣。絕不可以，我們的信條是，當(dāng)別人往道德的低處走時(shí)，我們要繼續(xù)向高處前行。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are their most important role models.And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school.Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours? 我們知道，父母的言行舉止時(shí)時(shí)刻刻都被孩子們所關(guān)注，我們是她們最重要的榜樣。我想告訴各位，巴拉克和我一直以同樣的心態(tài)對待總統(tǒng)與第一夫人的工作。因?yàn)槲覀兩钪覀兯f的話，我們所做的事，不僅僅被自家孩子所關(guān)注，更同時(shí)被這個(gè)國家所有的孩子聽到和看到。這些孩子可能會(huì)對我說，“我在電視上看過你”或是“我在一份作業(yè)里寫了你”，也可能就像那個(gè)抬頭帶著希望看著我丈夫的黑人小男孩，心里充滿好奇，“我的頭發(fā)和你的是一樣的嗎？” And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we’re deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.毫無疑問，今年11月我們?nèi)ネ镀睍r(shí)，要做的就是這樣一個(gè)決定，不是選擇民主黨或共和黨，也不管左翼右翼之分。就同每一場選舉一樣，這場選舉決定的是由誰來掌握一個(gè)大權(quán)，由誰來影響塑造孩子們生命中接下來的四年或六年。

And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.今晚，我站在這里，因?yàn)樵谶@場選舉中，只有一個(gè)人,讓我放心地將這個(gè)責(zé)任交付；只有一個(gè)人，我相信真正有能力勝任美國總統(tǒng)一職。這個(gè)人就是我們的朋友，希拉里?克林頓。That’s right.就是如此。

See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they’ll ever afford college, kids whose parents don’t speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.我堅(jiān)信希拉里能夠領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這個(gè)國家，因?yàn)槲乙娮C了她以一生奉獻(xiàn)予這個(gè)國家的孩子們，不僅僅是她那被栽培得近乎完美的女兒，更包括每一個(gè)需要保護(hù)的孩子——保護(hù)每一個(gè)需要走長長的路上學(xué)的孩子不受到犯罪團(tuán)伙的傷害，幫助那些困惑于為何自己負(fù)擔(dān)不起大學(xué)費(fèi)用的孩子、那些自己的父母并不懂得說一句英語但自身夢想過上更好生活的孩子、那些等待著我們?nèi)Q定他們的未來的孩子。

You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the Senate.如你們所見，希拉里在幾十年間一直任勞任怨地工作，為的是真正地使孩子們的生活有所不同。當(dāng)她是個(gè)年輕律師時(shí)，她就為殘障兒童的權(quán)益發(fā)聲；后來她成了第一夫人，她為孩子們的醫(yī)療保障奔忙；在國務(wù)卿任上，她依然在為孩子們爭取高質(zhì)量的保育環(huán)境。

And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments.So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.并且，八年前她競選失利之后，她并不惱怒，也沒有灰心喪氣。希拉里沒有打包走人，因?yàn)樽鳛橐粋€(gè)真正的公共利益服務(wù)者，她懂得這份事業(yè)比個(gè)人的欲望與失望重要得多。所以，她又挺身而出，以國務(wù)卿的身份為我們的國家服務(wù)，為孩子們的安全走遍全球。

And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs.But here’s the thing.What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.很多時(shí)候希拉里都可以抱怨她的工作有多難，為人民付出的代價(jià)有多大，自己的外貌或言語甚至笑容時(shí)刻被人指責(zé)有多心累。可是，我最佩服她的一點(diǎn)，就是無論面對多大的壓力，她都不會(huì)垮掉，也從來不會(huì)偷懶。在她的世界里，永無放棄可言。

And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.所以，當(dāng)我想象一個(gè)能為我的女兒和所有孩子帶來美好和希望的美國總統(tǒng)的樣子，這就是我想要的。

I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.我想要一個(gè)真正有能力堅(jiān)持下去的人，一個(gè)了解這份工作、嚴(yán)肅對待它的人，一個(gè)懂得總統(tǒng)面對的問題不是非黑即白，也不能短短歸結(jié)為140個(gè)字的人。

Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions.You can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out.You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.因?yàn)楫?dāng)核武器的發(fā)射密碼就在你指尖，并且手握著整個(gè)國家軍隊(duì)的時(shí)候，你不可以做出輕率的決定。你不能死要面子，也不能一戳就發(fā)火。你必須運(yùn)籌帷幄、深思熟慮、見識(shí)廣博。

I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我心目中的總統(tǒng)，要有從事公眾服務(wù)的紀(jì)錄，用畢生工作向孩子們證明，我們奮斗的目標(biāo)不是追名逐利，而是讓每個(gè)人都有成功的機(jī)會(huì)。

And we give back even when we’re struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off.And there but for the grace of God go I.就算當(dāng)我們苦苦掙扎的時(shí)候，也要回報(bào)這個(gè)社會(huì)，因?yàn)榭傆腥说纳畋饶氵€艱難。我們沒吃他們的苦，是因?yàn)樯系劬祛櫋?/p>

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.我想要的總統(tǒng)，應(yīng)當(dāng)告訴孩子們，我們國家的每一個(gè)人都很重要。他要深信國父們數(shù)百年前的理念，人人生而平等，每一個(gè)人都是偉大美國歷史珍視的一部分。

And when crisis hits, we don’t turn against each other.No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.當(dāng)危機(jī)到來時(shí)，我們絕不分崩離析。我們互相傾聽，相互扶持，因?yàn)閳F(tuán)結(jié)才會(huì)讓我們更加強(qiáng)大。

And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be.And that’s why in this election I’m with her.今晚我在這里就是想告訴大家，希拉里就會(huì)是這樣一位總統(tǒng)。這就是為什么在這場大選中，我站在她的一邊。

You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.她懂得作為一個(gè)總統(tǒng)，最主要的任務(wù)就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。為了孩子而團(tuán)結(jié)起來，我們的國家就是這樣不斷進(jìn)步的。不論是志愿做學(xué)生隊(duì)教練的人，還是去當(dāng)主日學(xué)的教師，他們都明白，培養(yǎng)下一代，需要整個(gè)國家的力量。

Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep passing down those blessings of liberty, police officers and the protesters in Dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe.People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.不同膚色和信仰的英雄們穿上制服，冒著生命危險(xiǎn)將自由的福祉傳承下去。在達(dá)拉斯，警察和抗議者們都在拼盡全力地呼吁保護(hù)孩子們的安全。在奧蘭多，人們排著隊(duì)獻(xiàn)血，因?yàn)樗麄冎溃峭碓诰瓢傻囊部赡芫褪撬麄兊暮⒆印?/p>

Leaders like Tim Kaine who show our kids what decency and devotion look like.Leaders like Hillary Clinton who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her.蒂姆?凱恩這樣的領(lǐng)袖讓孩子們懂得了什么是正直與奉獻(xiàn)。希拉里這樣的領(lǐng)袖擁有的勇氣和魅力，讓她一直沒有放棄，不斷地沖擊限制女性發(fā)展的那道最高最艱難的玻璃頂，直到她終于將其擊碎，并帶著我們一同提升。

That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.這就是我們國家的故事，是這個(gè)故事讓我今天站在這里。在這個(gè)故事中，曾有世世代代的人遭受著壓迫和束縛，被奴役的恥辱和被隔離的痛苦。但是他們始終懷揣著希望，不息地抗?fàn)帲越裉斓奈也拍苊刻煸谟膳`建造的白宮里醒來，看著我的女兒們，兩個(gè)美麗聰敏的黑皮膚少女，與狗狗們在白宮的草坪上嬉戲。

And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.因?yàn)橄＠铮业呐畠海退械暮⒆觽儯X得女人可以當(dāng)美國總統(tǒng)，這是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)氖隆?/p>

So, look, so don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country isn’t great, that somehow we need to make it great again.Because this right now is the greatest country on earth!所以，別再聽別人說我們的國家不夠好，我們要讓她變好之類的話。因?yàn)榇藭r(shí)此刻，這就是世界上最偉大的國家。

And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls’ promise and all our kids’ promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.我的兩個(gè)女兒就要去闖蕩世界了，我希望能有一個(gè)領(lǐng)袖能夠配得上這個(gè)真相，值得托付我的女兒以及所有孩子們的前途，能用愛與希望，和我們寄予孩子的無限期望來指導(dǎo)其每一天。

So in this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best.We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical.No, hear me.Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.所以在這次選舉中，我們不能坐視著希望最后的結(jié)果是最好的，我們承受不起疲倦、沮喪或憤世嫉俗的代價(jià)。聽我說，從現(xiàn)在起到十一月份，我們要像8年前或4年前那樣，為之付出行動(dòng)。

We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!我們要挨家挨戶敲門，讓更多的人來投票。我們要用盡我們對這個(gè)國家的每一絲熱情、每一份力量，和每一點(diǎn)愛，來推選希拉里?克林頓成為美利堅(jiān)合眾國的總統(tǒng)！

So let’s get to work.Thank you all and God bless.讓我們行動(dòng)起來吧。謝謝大家，上帝保佑。

第五篇：2016-7米歇爾發(fā)表演講拯救希拉里(中英雙語全文)

米歇爾發(fā)表演講“拯救”希拉里(全文)

米歇爾在民主黨全國代表大會(huì)（Democratic National Convention, DNC）上演講，為希拉里背書，激昂慷慨、氣場十足、極富感染力。演講從她自己的兩個(gè)女兒出發(fā)，始終圍繞人性最柔軟的話題，孩子。

她告訴所有的聽眾：

The president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.一個(gè)總統(tǒng)，最主要的任務(wù)就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。

米歇爾只字未提特朗普，卻給了一個(gè)漂亮的回?fù)簦?/p>

她說這個(gè)國家需要的不是仇恨與猜忌，而是愛、平等與希望—— “When they go low, we go high.”

當(dāng)別人往道德的低處走時(shí)，我們要繼續(xù)向高處前行。

這場演講一結(jié)束，學(xué)習(xí)“如何形容一場演講很棒”的一大波資源就上線了。

外媒是這樣措辭的：

Michelle Obama could be Hillary Clinton's ace in the hole 米歇爾或成希拉里的最后王牌

The First Lady is a powerful surrogate to Clinton 米歇爾是希拉里強(qiáng)有力的代言人 Michelle united a divided hall 米歇爾把一個(gè)分裂的大堂團(tuán)結(jié)在一起

Michelle’s speech brought down the DNC house

米歇爾的演講博得滿堂喝彩（快把民主黨全國代表大會(huì)的屋頂給掀了）

Michelle Obama’s Speech of a Lifetime Turns Convention Around for Hillary Clinton 米歇爾這場終身難遇的演講把整個(gè)大會(huì)的人們都團(tuán)結(jié)到了希拉里身旁

再看看這些用詞： stirring 震撼人心的 emotional 情感飽滿的 incredible 不可思議的 stunning 令人驚嘆的 epic 史詩般的 blockbuster 轟動(dòng)的

speech for ages 千載難逢的演講

showstopper 因太精彩而屢次被掌聲打斷的演講

她的這場演講讓群眾激動(dòng)萬分（electrifies crowd），全場都坐不住了（get the crowd on their feet），整個(gè)大會(huì)的人都被感動(dòng)得熱淚盈眶（move the Democratic convention to tears）。

這就是演講的力量，想學(xué)public speech的同學(xué)，一定不要錯(cuò)過。好了，我們現(xiàn)在就來領(lǐng)略一下號稱民主黨大會(huì)上“史上最佳第一夫人演講”： 雙語全文

Thank you all.Thank you so much.You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝各位，謝謝。真是令人難以置信，八年就這樣過去了。八年前，我第一次站在這個(gè)大會(huì)上告訴諸位，為什么我的丈夫應(yīng)該成為總統(tǒng)。

Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House?

大家還記得嗎，我向你們介紹他的品質(zhì)與信念，說著他的正派與慈悲，以及他在白宮為國操勞的每一天向我們展現(xiàn)的所有優(yōu)點(diǎn)。I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world.And during our time in the White House, we’ve had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington.我那時(shí)還向各位說起我們的女兒，說起她們是我們寶貝的心頭肉，是我們眼里世界的中心。在白宮度過的這段時(shí)光里，我們歡欣地看著 她們從熱情活潑的小女孩長大為舉止沉穩(wěn)的年輕女性，這是一趟自我們抵達(dá)華盛頓之時(shí)就已開始的成長旅程。

When they set off for their first day at their new school, I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those big men with guns.And I saw their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, what have we done? 我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記她們第一天出發(fā)去新學(xué)校的場景。那個(gè)冬天的早晨，我目送我們7歲和10歲的女兒鉆進(jìn)黑色的SUV車?yán)铮阒齻兊娜浅謽尩膲褲h。我看著她們把小臉貼在車窗上往外張望，那時(shí)候我想到的唯一一件事是：我們這是做錯(cuò)了什么？

See, because at that moment I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.對，就是在那一刻，我意識(shí)到，在白宮的日子將會(huì)對她們的成長蛻變起到至關(guān)重要的影響。我們?nèi)裟芎煤玫貞?yīng)對這段經(jīng)歷，這段日子將會(huì)成就她們；如果不能，這些經(jīng)歷則會(huì)把她們帶入歧途。That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith.How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level.No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.這就是我和巴拉克每一天所思考的問題。我們努力地引導(dǎo)我們的孩子，保護(hù)她們不受這聚光燈之下的不尋常生活的傷害，鼓勵(lì)她們不去在意別人對她們的爸爸的國籍或信念的質(zhì)疑。我們堅(jiān)持讓她們相信，電視上那些公共人物說出來的滿帶恨意的話并不能代表這個(gè)國家真正的精神。我們向她們解釋，有些人可能殘忍而霸道，但這不意味著你可以墮落到與他們一樣。絕不可以，我們的信條是，當(dāng)別人往道德的低處走時(shí)，我們要繼續(xù)向高處前行。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are their most important role models.And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school.Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours? 我們知道，父母的言行舉止時(shí)時(shí)刻刻都被孩子們所關(guān)注，我們是她們最重要的榜樣。我想告訴各位，巴拉克和我一直以同樣的心態(tài)對 待總統(tǒng)與第一夫人的工作。因?yàn)槲覀兩钪覀兯f的話，我們所做的事，不僅僅被自家孩子所關(guān)注，更同時(shí)被這個(gè)國家所有的孩子聽到和看到。這些孩子可能會(huì)對我說，“我在電視上看過你”或是“我在一份作業(yè)里寫了你”，也可能就像那個(gè)抬頭帶著希望看著我丈夫的黑人小男孩，心里充滿好奇，“我的頭發(fā)和你的是一樣的嗎？”

And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we’re deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.毫無疑問，今年11月我們?nèi)ネ镀睍r(shí)，要做的就是這樣一個(gè)決定，不是選擇民主黨或共和黨，也不管左翼右翼之分。就同每一場選舉一樣，這場選舉決定的是由誰來掌握一個(gè)大權(quán)，由誰來影響塑造孩子們生命中接下來的四年或六年。

And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.今晚，我站在這里，因?yàn)樵谶@場選舉中，只有一個(gè)人,讓我放心地將這個(gè)責(zé)任交付；只有一個(gè)人，我相信真正有能力勝任美國總統(tǒng)一職。這個(gè)人就是我們的朋友，希拉里?克林頓。That’s right.就是如此。

See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they’ll ever afford college, kids whose parents don’t speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.我堅(jiān)信希拉里能夠領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這個(gè)國家，因?yàn)槲乙娮C了她以一生奉獻(xiàn)予這個(gè)國家的孩子們，不僅僅是她那被栽培得近乎完美的女兒，更包括每一個(gè)需要保護(hù)的孩子——保護(hù)每一個(gè)需要走長長的路上學(xué)的孩子不受到犯罪團(tuán)伙的傷害，幫助那些困惑于為何自己負(fù)擔(dān)不起大學(xué)費(fèi)用的孩子、那些自己的父母并不懂得說一句英語但自身夢想過上更好生活的孩子、那些等待著我們?nèi)Q定他們的未來的孩子。

You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the Senate.如你們所見，希拉里在幾十年間一直任勞任怨地工作，為的是真正地使孩子們的生活有所不同。當(dāng)她是個(gè)年輕律師時(shí)，她就為殘障兒 童的權(quán)益發(fā)聲；后來她成了第一夫人，她為孩子們的醫(yī)療保障奔忙；在國務(wù)卿任上，她依然在為孩子們爭取高質(zhì)量的保育環(huán)境。And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments.So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.并且，八年前她競選失利之后，她并不惱怒，也沒有灰心喪氣。希拉里沒有打包走人，因?yàn)樽鳛橐粋€(gè)真正的公共利益服務(wù)者，她懂得這份事業(yè)比個(gè)人的欲望與失望重要得多。所以，她又挺身而出，以國務(wù)卿的身份為我們的國家服務(wù)，為孩子們的安全走遍全球。And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs.But here’s the thing.What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.很多時(shí)候希拉里都可以抱怨她的工作有多難，為人民付出的代價(jià)有多大，自己的外貌或言語甚至笑容時(shí)刻被人指責(zé)有多心累。可是，我最佩服她的一點(diǎn)，就是無論面對多大的壓力，她都不會(huì)垮掉，也從來不會(huì)偷懶。在她的世界里，永無放棄可言。

And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.所以，當(dāng)我想象一個(gè)能為我的女兒和所有孩子帶來美好和希望的美國總統(tǒng)的樣子，這就是我想要的。

I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.我想要一個(gè)真正有能力堅(jiān)持下去的人，一個(gè)了解這份工作、嚴(yán)肅對待它的人，一個(gè)懂得總統(tǒng)面對的問題不是非黑即白，也不能短短歸結(jié)為140個(gè)字的人。

I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我心目中的總統(tǒng)，要有從事公眾服務(wù)的紀(jì)錄，用畢生工作向孩子們證明，我們奮斗的目標(biāo)不是追名逐利，而是讓每個(gè)人都有成功的機(jī)會(huì)。

And we give back even when we’re struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off.And there but for the grace of God go I.就算當(dāng)我們苦苦掙扎的時(shí)候，也要回報(bào)這個(gè)社會(huì)，因?yàn)榭傆腥说纳畋饶氵€艱難。我們沒吃他們的苦，是因?yàn)樯系劬祛櫋?/p>

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.我想要的總統(tǒng)，應(yīng)當(dāng)告訴孩子們，我們國家的每一個(gè)人都很重要。他要深信國父們數(shù)百年前的理念，人人生而平等，每一個(gè)人都是偉大美國歷史珍視的一部分。

And when crisis hits, we don’t turn against each other.No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.當(dāng)危機(jī)到來時(shí)，我們絕不分崩離析。我們互相傾聽，相互扶持，因?yàn)閳F(tuán)結(jié)才會(huì)讓我們更加強(qiáng)大。And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be.And that’s why in this election I’m with her.今晚我在這里就是想告訴大家，希拉里就會(huì)是這樣一位總統(tǒng)。這就是為什么在這場大選中，我站在她的一邊。

You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.她懂得作為一個(gè)總統(tǒng)，最主要的任務(wù)就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。為了孩子而團(tuán)結(jié)起來，我們的國家就是這樣不斷進(jìn)步的。不論是志愿做學(xué)生隊(duì)教練的人，還是去當(dāng)主日學(xué)的教師，他們都明白，培養(yǎng)下一代，需要整個(gè)國家的力量。

Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep passing down those blessings of liberty, police officers and the protesters in Dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe.People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.不同膚色和信仰的英雄們穿上制服，冒著生命危險(xiǎn)將自由的福祉傳承下去。在達(dá)拉斯，警察和抗議者們都在拼盡全力地呼吁保護(hù)孩子們的安全。在奧蘭多，人們排著隊(duì)獻(xiàn)血，因?yàn)樗麄冎溃峭碓诰瓢傻囊部赡芫褪撬麄兊暮⒆印?/p>

Leaders like Tim Kaine who show our kids what decency and devotion look like.Leaders like Hillary Clinton who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her.蒂姆?凱恩這樣的領(lǐng)袖讓孩子們懂得了什么是正直與奉獻(xiàn)。希拉里這樣的領(lǐng)袖擁有的勇氣和魅力，讓她一直沒有放棄，不斷地沖擊限制女性發(fā)展的那道最高最艱難的玻璃頂，直到她終于將其擊碎，并帶著我們一同提升。

That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.這就是我們國家的故事，是這個(gè)故事讓我今天站在這里。在這個(gè)故事中，曾有世世代代的人遭受著壓迫和束縛，被奴役的恥辱和被隔離的痛苦。但是他們始終懷揣著希望，不息地抗?fàn)帲越裉斓奈也拍苊刻煸谟膳`建造的白宮里醒來，看著我的女兒們，兩個(gè)美麗聰敏的黑皮膚少女，與狗狗們在白宮的草坪上嬉戲。

And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.因?yàn)橄＠铮业呐畠海退械暮⒆觽儯X得女人可以當(dāng)美國總統(tǒng)，這是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)氖隆?/p>

So, look, so don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country isn’t great, that somehow we need to make it great again.Because this right now is the greatest country on earth!所以，別再聽別人說我們的國家不夠好，我們要讓她變好之類的話。因?yàn)榇藭r(shí)此刻，這就是世界上最偉大的國家。

And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls’ promise and all our kids’ promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.我的兩個(gè)女兒就要去闖蕩世界了，我希望能有一個(gè)領(lǐng)袖能夠配得上這個(gè)真相，值得托付我的女兒以及所有孩子們的前途，能用愛與希望，和我們寄予孩子的無限期望來指導(dǎo)其每一天。

So in this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best.We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical.No, hear me.Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.所以在這次選舉中，我們不能坐視著希望最后的結(jié)果是最好的，我們承受不起疲倦、沮喪或憤世嫉俗的代價(jià)。聽我說，從現(xiàn)在起到十一月份，我們要像8年前或4年前那樣，為之付出行動(dòng)。

We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!我們要挨家挨戶敲門，讓更多的人來投票。我們要用盡我們對這個(gè)國家的每一絲熱情、每一份力量，和每一點(diǎn)愛，來推選希拉里?克林頓成為美利堅(jiān)合眾國的總統(tǒng)！

So let’s get to work.Thank you all and God bless.讓我們行動(dòng)起來吧。謝謝大家，上帝保佑。
