第一篇:奧巴馬競選演講
奧巴馬競選演講.txt我不奢望什么,只希望你以后的女人一個不如一個。真懷念小時候啊,天熱的時候我也可以像男人一樣光膀子!奧巴馬競選演講:我們需要的變革(中英文對照)
現(xiàn)在是美國歷史的關(guān)鍵時刻。This is a defining moment in our history.我們面臨著大蕭條以來最為嚴重的一場經(jīng)濟危機:今年以來已經(jīng)有76萬人失業(yè); ?We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression--760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year.?企業(yè)和家庭無法獲得信貸;Businesses and families can't get credit.?房價不斷下滑,養(yǎng)老金日益縮水;Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing.? 工資降到了十年來的最低水平,同時醫(yī)療和教育成本卻漲到了有史以來的最高點。
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(jiān)管全無──即使是美國聯(lián)邦儲備委員會前主席格林斯潘現(xiàn)在也承認那是個錯誤。美國需要一個新的方向。
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.這也正是我競選美國總統(tǒng)的原因所在。
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。
My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably.他甚至可以指出他過去曾有幾次與自己的黨派分道揚鑣
He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party.然而,在過去八年中,他十之八九都贊同布什總統(tǒng)的主張。
But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time.而在經(jīng)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(qū)別。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(chǎn)階級獲得一分錢的稅項減免,這不是變革──即使是《國家評論》雜志和其他保守派組織也抱怨說,這個計劃對造福中產(chǎn)階級貢獻寥寥。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.? 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。
It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years.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(chǎn)生的問題比解決的問題多”。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(jīng)濟危機中學(xué)到了什么的話,那就是我們要患難與共。
?If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together.從首席執(zhí)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(guān),因為美國的民眾越富足,美國才會越繁榮。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(yè)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(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品,比如巴菲特這樣的商界人士。我對能有他的支持感到自豪。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.這就是為什么美國經(jīng)濟不僅是世界上最偉大的財富創(chuàng)造者,也是世界上最偉大的就業(yè)機會制造者。? That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator--it's been the world's greatest job generator.?它一直托舉著有史以來規(guī)模最大的中產(chǎn)階級之舟。
?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(chǎn)階級,我將給予95%的工人及其家庭稅收減免待遇。
To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families.?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(tǒng)時期低三分之一。
?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(chǔ)設(shè)施、在美國的各個角落接通寬帶,我們將創(chuàng)造200萬個就業(yè)崗位。We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country.?未來的十年中,我將每年在可再生能源領(lǐng)域投資150億美元,進而新增500萬個崗位;這些工作環(huán)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。
?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(yī)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。When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now.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(yī)療福利納稅。
?My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history.?我的計劃則會讓醫(yī)療保健成為每個美國人都負擔得起、享受得到的服務(wù)。
?My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American.?根據(jù)我的計劃,如果你已經(jīng)有了醫(yī)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(yī)療保險,你將能與國會議員們享受到同樣的醫(yī)療福利。
?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(jīng)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。?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.?不過,我同時也會要求更高的標準和更多的責任。
But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability.我們向每個美國年輕人作出承諾:如果你致力于服務(wù)你的社區(qū)或是你的國家,我們將確保你能負擔得起自己的學(xué)費。
?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(jié)束伊拉克戰(zhàn)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。
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.為了美國的經(jīng)濟、美國的軍隊和伊拉克的長期穩(wěn)定,現(xiàn)在是伊拉克人站出來的時候了。?For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up.?我將最終完成對本-拉登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(guān)系、擊退21世紀出現(xiàn)的威脅,恢復(fù)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。
? 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。?None of this will be easy.It won't happen overnight.?但是,我堅信我們能成功,因為我對美國深信不疑。
? But I believe we can do this because I believe in America.?是美國使我們的父輩相信,即使他們自己無法上大學(xué),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(yè),也可以通過努力工作讓自己的孩子創(chuàng)辦企業(yè)。
?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.?在美國歷史的每個時刻,我們都勇敢地站起來面對挑戰(zhàn),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。www.tmdps.cn ?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。
? So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter.?我懇請你們不只相信我?guī)碜兏锏哪芰Γ€有你們自己的能力。
?I ask you to believe--not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours.? ?明天,你們可以選擇這樣一種政策──向美國中產(chǎn)階級進行投入、創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)崗位、實現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟增長讓人人都有成功的機會。
? 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.?你們可以選擇希望而非恐懼、選擇團結(jié)而非分裂、選擇變革的希望而非墨守成規(guī)。
? You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.?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。? 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:奧巴馬競選演講全文
篇一:2012年奧巴馬競選獲勝連任演講全文(中英文)奧巴馬演講全文(中英文)
奧巴馬(美國總統(tǒng)當選人):謝謝,非常感謝各位。今晚,是在一個曾經(jīng)的殖民地在贏得自己主權(quán)200多年之后,我們來到這里,不斷前行,這主要是因為你們堅信這個國家能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)永恒的希望,實現(xiàn)移民的夢想。每一個人都可以獨立的爭取自己的未來,我們將會作為一個國家共同起落。
今晚,在選舉的過程當中,你們——美國的人民,讓我們記得我們的道路是非常艱辛的,我們的道路是漫長的,我們重新站了起來,我們也從內(nèi)心知道,美國還沒有迎來最好的時代。
我想要感謝每一個參與選舉的美國人。無論你們是第一次投票,還是(排隊)等了很長的時間才投上一票——順便說一下我會解決這個問題。無論你是自己去投票站投的票,還是打電話投的票;無論你是投給奧巴馬的人,還是投給羅姆尼的人,你都是為我們國家?guī)磙D(zhuǎn)變的力量。我剛剛同羅姆尼通過電話,我祝賀他們這次競選所取得的成績。
我們的選戰(zhàn)也許非常激烈,但這正是因為我們深愛著這個國家,并且我們十分在意它的未來。從羅姆尼整個家庭,孫子輩,孩子輩,整個家庭都獻給了美國,這種精神我們將永遠銘記。幾周之后我將會同羅姆尼坐在一起,討論我們怎么樣推動國家未來的發(fā)展。
我也感謝在過去四年辛苦奉獻的搭檔,也是美國最好的副總統(tǒng),拜登先生。
我(之所以)成為現(xiàn)在的我,必須要感謝20年前與我結(jié)婚的女人。我想公開地表達:米歇爾,我從來沒有像現(xiàn)在這樣愛你!我為你感到非常非常的驕傲,我相信我們的國家也非常愛你,你是我們非常熱愛的美國第一夫人。
薩莎和瑪莉亞,我摯愛的女兒,你們兩個是非常堅強也非常聰明的女性,就像你們的母親一樣,我對你們感到非常的驕傲,但是目前我覺得給你們養(yǎng)一條寵物狗就夠了。
我還要感謝我的競選團隊和志愿者,他們是最好的,最棒的,而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次來聽我的演說,有些人四年前就聽了我的獲勝演說,但是每個人對我來講都是我的一分子,不管你做了什么,不管你去了哪里,你一定會記得我們今天晚上所創(chuàng)的歷史,你會一生都感激今晚這個時刻,而且你們會一直記得有一個心懷感激的總統(tǒng),謝謝你們一路以來對我的信任,我要感謝你們所做的每一件事情。正是因為有了你們,我才會一路堅持下來。我對此將永遠感謝,不管你做的什么,你們所做的一切我都心懷感激,并且永遠鳴謝。
我知道這些政治競選,可能有時候看起來非常愚蠢,而且我們也聽到很多人跟我們講政治有的時候十分愚蠢,可能他只是利益的追求和沖突,但是如果你們真的有機會去和競選活動上和人們談?wù)撘恍﹩栴},或者你看到一些競選團隊,非常辛勤工作的志愿者們,你們的印
象會有所改觀,因為你能夠看到他們有多大的決心。他們也從大學(xué)畢業(yè),并希望每一個孩子得到像他們一樣的機會。大家會聽到志愿者驕傲的聲音,當他們看到當?shù)氐钠嚿a(chǎn)商增加了就業(yè)的機會,他們會感到非常的驕傲。大家也會看到我們軍人深深的愛國情意,他們守護著美國的安全,我們將保證他們回國之后不會再為找工作而煩惱。這就是我們現(xiàn)在所做的一切,這就是我們政治的目的,這也是為什么選舉如此重要。
這并不是小事情,而是大事情,是至關(guān)重要的事情。我們這個擁有3億人口的國家,民主的情緒可能十分復(fù)雜,可能十分混亂,每個人可能都有自己的觀點,每個人都有自己深深的信仰,在我們經(jīng)歷艱難時刻,做出艱難抉擇時,我們很自然會有沖突,會有情感的表達,但是我認為它不應(yīng)當影響我們今晚的表現(xiàn)。這些爭論正是我們自由的基礎(chǔ),我們永遠不會忘記我們說話的時候,許多國家的人民仍然在冒著風險,希望能夠找到解決問題的方法,希望能夠爭取投票的權(quán)利。
盡管我們有很多的分歧,大多數(shù)人都對美國有共同的希望,我們都希望我們的孩子能夠上最好的學(xué)校,有最好的老師;我們的國家成為技術(shù)以及創(chuàng)新方面的領(lǐng)袖,并且創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)崗位和更多的企業(yè)。我希望我們的孩子不是負債累累,不會受到恐怖力量的威脅。我們也希望我們的國家是安全的,在全球受到尊重和羨慕,并且擁有全世界最強大、最優(yōu)秀的軍隊。同時我們的國家也應(yīng)該是充滿信心的國家,結(jié)束戰(zhàn)爭,重塑人類的和平。
與此同時我們也希望自己的國家,有信心,并且能夠不斷推動每個人的自由、繁榮和發(fā)展,我們相信美國的慷慨和包容,美國的自由和開放,我們將伸開雙手迎接那些移民的子女來到美國。我們相信在芝加哥任何一個孩子都可以看到他的希望,在北卡州那些想要成為科學(xué)家和醫(yī)生的學(xué)生,想要成為工程師,甚至是總統(tǒng)的學(xué)生,這是我們共同要爭取的未來,這是我們共同分享的愿景,這也是我們前進的方向。
我們有的時候會對于怎么樣向前進有非常強烈的分歧,200年來,大家知道我們的進步一直不是直線的,也不是一帆風順,我們伴隨著很多分歧和不同。我們意識到我們有著共同的夢想,將會使我們結(jié)束僵局,努力的促成問題的解決。我們需要妥協(xié),需要使我們國家的繼續(xù)向前進,這樣一種團結(jié)的力量是我們現(xiàn)在出發(fā)的基礎(chǔ)。我們的經(jīng)濟正處于復(fù)蘇期間,我們十年的戰(zhàn)爭也已經(jīng)結(jié)束,我們的競選也已經(jīng)將告尾聲,無論我是否贏得了你們的選票,我都傾聽了你們的聲音,我都從你們那里學(xué)到了很多東西,你們將會使我成為更好的總統(tǒng)。我將會記得你們的故事,你們的抗爭,我將會更堅定的入主白宮,并且更堅定的完成未來的工作。
今晚,大家是為行動而不是為政治而投票,希望我們能夠更關(guān)注你們的工作,而不是我的工作。在今后的幾周,我將會與兩黨領(lǐng)袖會面應(yīng)對我們的挑戰(zhàn),我們只能夠共同應(yīng)對挑戰(zhàn),減少我們的赤字,改善我們的移民體系,減少對外國石油的依賴,我們有很多工作要做。但是這不意味著你們的工作就結(jié)束了,在民主社會當中公民的作用并不因為投票而結(jié)束,你們
一定要問問自己,不是美國能為你們做什么,而是我能為美國做什么,我們要進行自我治理,自我約束,這是我們的原則,也是我們建國的理念。
我們這個國家是世界上最富有的國家,但并不是我們每個人富有,雖然我們的軍隊十分強大,但我們個人并不強大,我們的大學(xué)、我們的文化,雖然是全球最優(yōu)秀的,但是卻并不是說我們就是全球最優(yōu)秀的。因為我們是一個多民族的國家,多樣性的國家,但是在這樣多樣性的國家當中,我們有共同的愿景和共識。如果我們推卸責任,不為子孫后代負責,我們將不會是一個能夠前進的國家。我們要承擔我們的責任,熱愛我們的國家,這也是使美國強大的原因。
我今天晚上充滿了希望,因為我看到美國勞動人民的精神,還看到了那些商業(yè)人士所做的工作,提供了很多工作機會,而且我還看到那些失業(yè)的人民得到了幫助,我還看到戰(zhàn)士們?nèi)匀皇匦l(wèi)著我們的國家,因為他們也知道我們在支持著他們。我還看到新澤西紐約每個政黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人,都開始拋開他們的歧見,來探討怎么從桑迪風暴中重建我們的家園。
我們還看到,幾天前,俄亥俄州一個父親說他有一個八歲的女兒,女孩的白血病使他的家庭一貧如洗,他們之前并沒有得到醫(yī)療保障,后來他們受利于幾個月前剛剛通過的醫(yī)改方案,使他們能夠支付起醫(yī)療費。我和這位父親,還有他的女兒都見面了,當他說的時候,在場所有的父母都落淚了,因為我們知道,他的女兒也可能是我們的女兒,我們都希望自己的孩子未來充滿光芒,這是每個父母的希望,這是我身為總統(tǒng)引以為豪的。
今晚,盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的困難,盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的挫折,我對未來格外充滿信心,我對美國格外充滿希望,我希望大家延續(xù)這種希望,我這里講的并不是盲目的樂觀,指的是我們對未來的挑戰(zhàn),我也沒有說天真或者理想化的樂觀情緒,我真正的希望,不管我們遇到多少的挫折,多少的困難,只有我們有勇氣保持不斷努力、不斷斗爭,不斷勇往直前。
我相信我們我們能在取得成就的基礎(chǔ)上取得新的機會,為美國的中產(chǎn)階級提供新的希望,我相信我們能夠繼續(xù)延續(xù)我們建國者的承諾,不管你來自哪里,不管你的膚色是什么,不管你是黑人、白人、亞裔人,任何種族,不管你是同性戀,還是非同性戀,不管你是貧困的,還是富裕的,你都可以來到美國實現(xiàn)你的夢想。
我相信,我們可以共同迎來這樣的未來,因為我們對未來是充滿了希望,我們有雄心壯志,我們贏得的不僅僅是這一個選舉,而且是一個未來,是美國的未來。我們將會作為一個整體,是美利堅合眾國,而不是分成藍色或者是紅色,上帝會引導(dǎo)我們走向這條道路。并且我們相信,我們會成為世界上最偉大的國家,謝謝你們,上帝保佑美國!
姜聲揚:我們剛剛看到的就是美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬,現(xiàn)在畫面出現(xiàn)的是美國副總統(tǒng)拜登。奧巴馬稍早前進行他的2012大選的勝選演講,隨后他的家人、妻子和兩個孩子走出來,副總統(tǒng)拜登走出來,拜登副總統(tǒng)夫人,還有副總統(tǒng)的家人走上了民主黨競選總部的這個舞臺上。他們向支持者揮手致以感謝,現(xiàn)在跟著出來的就是兩位總統(tǒng)和副總統(tǒng)的家人。現(xiàn)場音樂聲起,彩花四起,慶祝奧巴馬連任成功。感覺特別像是一場搖滾音樂會,或者就是勝利者的一種感受。

薩莎和瑪莉亞,我摯愛的女兒,你們兩個是非常堅強也非常聰明的女性,就像你們的母親一樣,我對你們感到非常的驕傲,但是目前我覺得給你們養(yǎng)一條寵物狗就夠了。
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 beginning.but all of you are family.no matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together.and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.thank you for believing all the way to every hill, to every valley.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.我還要感謝我的競選團隊和志愿者,他們是最好的,最棒的,而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次來聽我的演說,有些人四年前就聽了我的獲勝演說,但是每個人對我來講都是我的一分子,不管你做了什么,不管你去了哪里,你一定會記得我們今天晚上所創(chuàng)的歷史,你會一生都感激今晚這個時刻,而且你們會一直記得有一個心懷感激的總統(tǒng),謝謝你們一路以來對我的信任,我要感謝你們所做的每一件事情。正是因為有了你們,我才會一路堅持下來。我對此將永遠感謝,不管你做的什么,你們所做的一切我都心懷感激,并且永遠鳴謝。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.我知道這些政治競選,可能有時候看起來非常愚蠢,而且我們也聽到很多人跟我們講政治有的時候十分愚蠢,可能他只是利益的追求和沖突,但是如果你們真的有機會去和競選活動上和人們談?wù)撘恍﹩栴},或者你看到一些競選團隊,非常辛勤工作的志愿者們,你們的印象會有所改觀,因為你能夠看到他們有多大的決心。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.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.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 fight 一名大學(xué)生競選活動組織者,他付出艱辛努力讀完大學(xué),而現(xiàn)在希望每一個孩子都能享有和他一樣的機會。一名志愿者,言辭中藏不住驕傲,她挨家挨戶助選拉票,只因哥哥終于找到工作,附近的汽車廠增加了班次給了他機會。一名軍人的妻子在談話中洋溢著愛國之情,她為助選打電話直到深夜,只是為了確保那些曾經(jīng)為國家拋頭顱灑熱血的軍人回家之后,無需再為一份工作、一個住處,再次走上戰(zhàn)場。
這就是我們現(xiàn)在所做的一切,這就是政治的真諦,這才是大選如此重要的原因。這并不是小事情,而是大事情,是至關(guān)重要的事情。我們這個擁有3億人口的國家,民主的情緒可能十分復(fù)雜,可能十分混亂,每個人可能都有自己的觀點,每個人都有自己深深的信仰,在我們經(jīng)歷艱難時刻,做出艱難抉擇時,我們很自然會有沖突,會有情感的表達,但是我認為它不應(yīng)當影響我們今晚的表現(xiàn)。這些爭論正是我們自由的基礎(chǔ),我們永遠不會忘記我們說話的時候,許多國家的人民仍然在冒著風險,希望能夠找到解決問題的方法,希望能夠爭取投票的權(quán)利。
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.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.盡管我們有很多的分歧,大多數(shù)人都對美國有共同的希望,我們都希望我們的孩子能夠上最好的學(xué)校,有最好的老師;我們的國家成為技術(shù)以及創(chuàng)新方面的領(lǐng)袖,并且創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)崗位和更多的企業(yè)。我希望我們的孩子不是負債累累,不會受到恐怖力量的威脅。我們也希望我們的國家是安全的,在全球受到尊重和羨慕,并且擁有全世界最強大、最優(yōu)秀的軍隊。同時我們的國家也應(yīng)該是充滿信心的國家,結(jié)束戰(zhàn)爭,重塑人類的和平。
與此同時我們也希望自己的國家,有信心,并且能夠不斷推動每個人的自由、繁榮和發(fā)展,我們相信美國的慷慨和包容,美國的自由和開放,我們將伸開雙手迎接那些移民的子女來到美國。我們相信在芝加哥任何一個孩子都可以看到他的希望,在北卡州那些想要成為科學(xué)家和醫(yī)生的學(xué)生,想要成為工程師,甚至是總統(tǒng)的學(xué)生,這是我們共同要爭取的未來,這是我們共同分享的愿景,這也是我們前進的方向。
我們有的時候會對于怎么樣向前進有非常強烈的分歧,200年來,大家知道我們的進步一直不是直線的,也不是一帆風順,我們伴隨著很多分歧和不同。我們意識到我們有著共同的夢想,將會使我們結(jié)束僵局,努力的促成問題的解決。我們需要妥協(xié),需要使我們國家的繼續(xù)向前進,這樣一種團結(jié)的力量是我們現(xiàn)在出發(fā)的基礎(chǔ)。我們的經(jīng)濟正處于復(fù)蘇期間,我們十年的戰(zhàn)爭也已經(jīng)結(jié)束,我們的競選也已經(jīng)將告尾聲,無論我是否贏得了你們的選票,我都傾聽了你們的聲音,我都從你們那里學(xué)到了很多東西,你們將會使我成為更好的總統(tǒng)。我將會記得你們的故事,你們的抗爭,我將會更堅定的入主白宮,并且更堅定的完成未來的工作。
今晚,大家是為行動而不是為政治而投票,希望我們能夠更關(guān)注你們的工作,而不是我的工作。在今后的幾周,我將會與兩黨領(lǐng)袖會面應(yīng)對我們的挑戰(zhàn),我們只能夠共同應(yīng)對挑戰(zhàn),減少我們的赤字,改善我們的移民體系,減少對外國石油的依賴,我們有很多工作要做。但是這不意味著你們的工作就結(jié)束了,在民主社會當中公民的作用并不因為投票而結(jié)束,你們一定要問問自己,不是美國能為你們做什么,而是我能為美國做什么,我們要進行自我治理,自我約束,這是我們的原則,也是我們建國的理念。
我們這個國家是世界上最富有的國家,但并不是我們每個人富有,雖然我們的軍隊十分強大,但我們個人并不強大,我們的大學(xué)、我們的文化,雖然是全球最優(yōu)秀的,但是卻并不是說我們就是全球最優(yōu)秀的。因為我們是一個多民族的國家,多樣性的國家,但是在這樣多樣性的國家當中,我們有共同的愿景和共識。如果我們推卸責任,不為子孫后代負責,我們將不會是一個能夠前進的國家。我們要承擔我們的責任,熱愛我們的國家,這也是使美國強大的原因。
我今天晚上充滿了希望,因為我看到美國勞動人民的精神,還看到了那些商業(yè)人士所做的工作,提供了很多工作機會,而且我還看到那些失業(yè)的人民得到了幫助,我還看到戰(zhàn)士們?nèi)匀皇匦l(wèi)著我們的國家,因為他們也知道我們在支持著他們。我還看到新澤西紐約每個政黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人,都開始拋開他們的歧見,來探討怎么從桑迪風暴中重建我們的家園。
to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his.and when he spoke to the crowd, listening to that father’s story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own.and i know that every american wants her future to be just as bright.that’s who we are.that’s the country i’m so proud to lead as your president.我們還看到,幾天前,俄亥俄州一個父親說他有一個八歲的女兒,女孩的白血病使他的家庭一貧如洗,他們之前并沒有得到醫(yī)療保障,后來他們受利于幾個月前剛剛通過的醫(yī)改方案,使他們能夠支付起醫(yī)療費。我和這位父親,還有他的女兒都見面了,當他說的時候,在場所有的父母都落淚了,因為我們知道,他的女兒也可能是我們的女兒,我們都希望自己的孩子未來充滿光芒,這是每個父母的希望,這是我身為總統(tǒng)引以為豪的。
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.i have never been more hopeful about america.and i ask you to sustain that hope.今晚,盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的困難,盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的挫折,我對未來格外充滿信心,我對美國格外充滿希望,我希望大家延續(xù)這種希望,我這里講的并不是盲目的樂觀,指的是我們對未來的挑戰(zhàn),我也沒有說天真或者理想化的樂觀情緒,我真正的希望,不管我們遇到多少的挫折,多少的困難,只有我們有勇氣保持不斷努力、不斷斗爭,不斷勇往直前。
我相信我們能在取得成就的基礎(chǔ)上取得新的機會,為美國的中產(chǎn)階級提供新的希望,我相信我們能夠繼續(xù)延續(xù)我們建國者的承諾,不管你來自哪里,不管你的膚色是什么,不管你是黑人、白人、亞裔人,任何種族,不管你是同性戀,還是非同性戀,不管你是貧困的,還是富裕的,你都可以來到美國實現(xiàn)你的夢想。
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.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.thank you, america.god bless you.god bless these united states.我相信,我們可以共同迎來這樣的未來,因為我們對未來是充滿了希望,我們有雄心壯志,我們贏得的不僅僅是這一個選舉,而且是一個未來,是美國的未來。我們將會作為一個整體,是美利堅合眾國,而不是分成藍色或者是紅色,上帝會引導(dǎo)我們走向這條道路。并且我們相信,我們會成為世界上最偉大的國家,謝謝你們,上帝保佑美國!篇三:奧巴馬競選演講稿(中英)美國首任黑人總統(tǒng)奧巴馬競選演講稿(中英)
obama: the change we need 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 cant get credit.home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing.wages are lower than theyve been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher.tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need.financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each others success because the more americans prosper, the more america prospers.thats why weve had titans of industry whove made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made--businessmen like warren buffett, whose support im proud to have.thats why our economy hasnt just been the worlds greatest wealth creator--its been the worlds greatest job generator.its been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history.to rebuild that middle class, ill give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families.if you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, youll get a tax cut.if you make more than $250,000, youll 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.well create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling none of this will be easy.it wont 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 couldnt go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could;that even if they couldnt 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, weve risen to meet our challenges because weve never forgotten the fundamental truth that in america, our destiny is not written for us, but by us.so tomorrow, i ask you to write our nations 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 wont just win this election--together, we will change this country and change the world.現(xiàn)在是美國歷史的關(guān)鍵時刻。我們面臨著大蕭條以來最為嚴重的一場經(jīng)濟危機:今年以來已經(jīng)有76萬人失業(yè);企業(yè)和家庭無法獲得信貸;房價不斷下滑,養(yǎng)老金日益縮水;工資降到了十年來的最低水平,同時醫(yī)療和教育成本卻漲到了有史以來的最高點。
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(jiān)管全無──即使是美國聯(lián)邦儲備委員會(fed)前主席格林斯潘(alan greenspan)現(xiàn)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(tǒng)的原因所在。
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。corbis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(tǒng)的主張。而在經(jīng)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(qū)別。
如果提出的稅收計劃沒有讓1億多美國中產(chǎn)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(chǎn)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(chǎn)生的問題比解決的問題多”。
如果說我們從此次經(jīng)濟危機中學(xué)到了什么的話,那就是我們要患難與共。從首席執(zhí)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(guān),因為美國的民眾越富足,美國才會越繁榮。
這就是為什么我們有些企業(yè)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(chǎn)的產(chǎn)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(jīng)濟不僅是世界上最偉大的財富創(chuàng)造者,也是世界上最偉大的就業(yè)機會制造者。它一直托舉著有史以來規(guī)模最大的中產(chǎn)階級之舟。
為了重塑美國中產(chǎn)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(tǒng)時期低三分之一。
通過重建日益破敗的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、在美國的各個角落接通寬帶,我們將創(chuàng)造200萬個就業(yè)崗位。未來的十年中,我將每年在可再生能源領(lǐng)域投資150億美元,進而新增500萬個崗位;這些工作環(huán)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。
在醫(yī)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(yī)療福利納稅。我的計劃則會讓醫(yī)療保健成為每個美國人都負擔得起、享受得到的服務(wù)。根據(jù)我的計劃,如果你已經(jīng)有了醫(yī)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(yī)療保險,你將能與國會議員們享受到同樣的醫(yī)療福利。為了讓每個孩子享受到世界級的教育,讓他們能在全球經(jīng)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(wù)你的社區(qū)或是你的國家,我們將確保你能負擔得起自己的學(xué)費。
在國防安全問題上,我將負責任地結(jié)束伊拉克戰(zhàn)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(jīng)濟、美國的軍隊和伊拉克的長期穩(wěn)定,現(xiàn)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(guān)系、擊退21世紀出現(xiàn)的威脅,恢復(fù)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。
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(xué),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(yè),也可以通過努力工作讓自己的孩子創(chuàng)辦企業(yè)。在美國歷史的每個時刻,我們都勇敢地站起來面對挑戰(zhàn),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。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?guī)碜兏锏哪芰Γ€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(chǎn)階級進行投入、創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)崗位、實現(xiàn)經(jīng)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(jié)而非分裂、選擇變革的希望而非墨守成規(guī)。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。篇四:奧巴馬競選成功演講稿
奧巴馬競選演講稿
hello, chicago!芝加哥,你好!if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible;who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time;who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果有人懷疑美國是個一切皆有可能的地方,懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們這個時代依然燃燒,懷疑我們民主的力量,那么今晚這些疑問都有了答案。
its the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen;by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.學(xué)校和教堂門外的長龍便是答案。排隊的人數(shù)之多,在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投票,他們排隊長達三、四個小時。許多人一生中第一次投票,因為他們認為這一次大選結(jié)果必須不同以往,而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負。
its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, latino, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states;we are, and always will be, the united states of america.無論年齡,無論貧富,無論民主黨人或共和黨人,無論黑人、白人,無論拉美裔、亞裔、印地安人, 無論同性戀、異性戀,無論殘障人、健全人,所有的人,他們向全世界喊出了同一個聲音:我們并不隸屬 “紅州”與 “藍州”的對立陣營,我們屬于美利堅合眾國,現(xiàn)在如此,永遠如此!
its the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.長久以來,很多人說:我們對自己的能量應(yīng)該冷漠,應(yīng)該恐懼,應(yīng)該懷疑。但是,歷史之輪如今已在我們手中,我們又一次將歷史之輪轉(zhuǎn)往更美好的未來。
漫漫征程,今宵終于來臨。特殊的一天,特殊的一次大選,特殊的決定性時刻,美國迎來了變革。
i just received a very gracious call from sen.mccain.he fought long and hard in this campaign, and hes fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.i congratulate him and gov.palin for all they have achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nations promise in the months ahead.剛才,麥凱恩參議員很有風度地給我打了個電話。在這次競選中,他的努力持久而艱巨。為了這個他摯愛的國家,他的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美國的奉獻超出絕大多數(shù)人的想象。他是一位勇敢無私的領(lǐng)袖,有了他的奉獻,我們的生活才更美好。我對他和佩林州長的成績表示祝賀。同時,我也期待著與他們共同努力,再續(xù)美國輝煌。i want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of scranton and rode with on that train home to delaware, the vice-president-elect of the united states, joe biden.我要感謝我的競選搭檔——當選副總統(tǒng)喬?拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓市街頭長大、一起坐火車返回特拉華州的人們,拜登全心全意地竟選,他代表了這些普通人的聲音。
to my campaign manager, david plouffe;my chief strategist, david axelrod;and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done.我要感謝我的競選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)?普魯夫,感謝首席策劃師大衛(wèi)?阿克塞羅德以及整個競選團隊,他們是政治史上最優(yōu)秀的競選團隊。你們成就了今夜,我永遠感謝你們?yōu)榻褚顾冻龅囊磺小?/p>
but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是,我將永遠不會忘記這場勝利真正屬于誰---是你們!
i was never the likeliest candidate for this office.we didnt start with much money or many endorsements.our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington — it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of charleston.我從來不是最有希望的候選人。起初,我們的資金不多,贊助人也不多。我們的競選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳,而是起于德莫奈地區(qū)某家的后院、康科德
地區(qū)的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區(qū)的某家前廊。
it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause.it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy;who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep;from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;from the millions of americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth.this is your victory.勞動大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿來捐助我們的事業(yè)。年輕人證明了他們絕非所謂“冷漠的一代”。他們遠離家鄉(xiāng)和親人,拿著微薄的報酬,起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀的人也頂著嚴寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門助選。無數(shù)美國人自愿組織起來,充當自愿者。正是這些人壯大了我們的聲勢。他們的行動證明了在兩百多年以后,民有、民治、民享的政府并未從地球上消失。這是你們的勝利。i know you didnt do this just to win an election, and i know you didnt do it for me.you did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.for even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave americans waking up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us.there are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how theyll make the mortgage, or pay their doctors bills, or save enough for college.there is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.你們這樣做,并不只是為了贏得一場大選,更不是為了我個人。你們這樣做,是因為你們清楚未來的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。今晚我們在歡慶,明天我們就將面對一生之中最為嚴峻的挑戰(zhàn)--兩場戰(zhàn)爭、一個充滿危險的星球,還有百年一遇的金融危機。今晚我們在這里慶祝,但我們知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,許許多多勇敢的美國人醒來后就將為了我們而面臨生命危險。許許多多的父母會在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠,他們正在為月供、醫(yī)藥費,孩子今后的大學(xué)費用而發(fā)愁。我們需要開發(fā)新能源,創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機會,建造新學(xué)校,迎接挑戰(zhàn)和威脅,并修復(fù)與盟國的關(guān)系。
the road ahead will be long.our climb will be steep.we may not get there in one year, or even one term, but america — i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there.i promise you: we as a people will get there.前方道路還很漫長,任務(wù)艱巨。一年之內(nèi),甚至一屆總統(tǒng)任期之內(nèi),我們可能都無法完成這些任務(wù)。但我從未像今晚這樣對美國滿懷希望,我相信我們會實現(xiàn)這個目標。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅民族將實現(xiàn)這一目標!
there will be setbacks and false starts.there are many who wont agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government cant solve every problem.but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.i will listen to you, especially when we disagree.and, above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way its been done in america for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.我們會遇到挫折,會出師不利,會有許多人不認同我的某一項決定或政策。政府并不能解決所有問題,但我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會聆聽你們的意見,尤其是在我們意見相左之時。最重要的是,我會讓你們一起重建這個國家。用自己的雙手,從一磚一瓦做起。這是美國立國221年以來的前進方式,也是惟一的方式。
what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.this victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change.and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.it cannot happen without you.21個月前那個隆冬所開始的一切,絕不應(yīng)在這一個秋夜結(jié)束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選,這只是給變革提供了一個機會。假如我們照老路子辦事,就沒有變革;沒有你們,就沒有變革。
so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism;of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, its that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers.in this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.讓我們重新發(fā)揚愛國精神,樹立嶄新的服務(wù)意識、責任感,每個人下定決心,一起努力工作,彼此關(guān)愛;讓我們牢記這場金融危機帶來的教訓(xùn):不能允許商業(yè)街掙扎的同時卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個國家,我們作為同一個民族,同生死共存亡。
let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity.those are values we all share, and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.黨派之爭、瑣碎幼稚,長期以來這些東西荼毒了我們的政壇。讓我們牢記,當來自伊利諾伊州的一位先生首次將共和黨大旗扛進白宮時,伴隨著他的是自強自立、個人自由、國家統(tǒng)一的共和黨建黨理念。這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝,但我們態(tài)度謙卑,并決心彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧。
as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies, but friends...though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.and, to those americans whose support i have yet to earn, i may not have won your vote, but i hear your voices, i need your help, and i will be your president, too.當年,林肯面對的是一個遠比目前更為分裂的國家。他說:“我們不是敵人,而是朋友??雖然激情可能不再,但是我們的感情紐帶不會割斷。”對于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人,我想說,雖然我沒有贏得你們的選票,但我聽到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。
對于關(guān)注今夜結(jié)果的國際人士,不管他們是在國會、皇宮關(guān)注,還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺,我們的態(tài)度是:我們美國人的經(jīng)歷各有不同,但我們的命運相關(guān),新的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。對于想毀滅這個世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。對于追求和平和安全的人們,我們將支持你們。對于懷疑美國這盞燈塔是否依然明亮的人們,今天晚上我們已再次證明:美國的真正力量來源并非軍事威力或財富規(guī)模,而是我們理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。
for that is the true genius of america — that america can change.our union can be perfected.and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.美國能夠變革,這才是美國真正的精髓。我們的聯(lián)邦會不斷完善。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就,將為我們將來能夠并且必須取得的成就增添希望。
this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.but one thats on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta.shes a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: ann nixon cooper is 106 years old.這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項“第一”,誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女:安妮?庫波爾。她和無數(shù)排隊等候投票的選民沒有什么差別,唯一的不同是她高齡106歲。
she was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldnt vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.在她出生的那個時代,黑奴制剛剛廢除。那時路上沒有汽車,天上沒有飛機。當時像她這樣的人由于兩個原因不能投票--一第一因為她是女性,第二個原因是她的膚色。篇五:2013奧巴馬連任就職演講全文(中英文版)president obamas second inaugural address 奧巴馬連任就職演講全文
here is the full text of president barack obamas second inaugural address on jan.21, 2013, as prepared for delivery: 2013年1月21日,美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬宣誓就職,開始第二任期。以下是就職演講全文。
vice president biden, mr.chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: 副總統(tǒng)拜登、首席大法官先生、國會議員、各位嘉賓、公民們:
each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our constitution.we affirm the promise of our democracy.we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.what makes us exceptional what makes us american is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每一次我們聚在一起見證總統(tǒng)就職,我們都在見證美國憲法的持久力量。我們都在確認美國民主制度的承諾。我們再度記起,讓這個國家凝聚在一起的,不是我們的膚色、我們的信仰、我們名字的起源。讓我們變得獨特、讓我們成為美國人的,是我們對兩個多世紀前一項宣言中明確表達出來的一種信念的忠誠。
we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.我們認為下述真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等,造物主賦予他們?nèi)舾刹豢蓜儕Z的權(quán)利,包括生存權(quán)、自由權(quán)和追求幸福的權(quán)利。
today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time.for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing;that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth.the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob.they gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.今天我們繼續(xù)著一個永無終點的旅程,將這些話語的含義與當代現(xiàn)實結(jié)合起來。歷史告訴我們,盡管這些真理可能是不言而喻的,卻從不會自動執(zhí)行;盡管自由是上帝給予我們的禮物,卻必須由他在地球上的子民來捍衛(wèi)。1776年的愛國者們奮力斗爭,并不是為了用少數(shù)人的特權(quán)或一幫烏合之眾的統(tǒng)治來取代國王的暴政。他們給了我們一個共和國,一個民有、民治、民享的政府,托付每一代人保護我們的建國信條。
for more than two hundred years, we have.200多年來,我們做到了。
through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free.we made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.從鞭笞和刀劍濺起的血光中,我們領(lǐng)悟到,基于自由與平等原則所成立的聯(lián)邦,不可能
在半自由半奴役的狀態(tài)下存活。我們讓自己重生,誓言協(xié)力向前邁進。
together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and 我們一致認定,現(xiàn)代經(jīng)濟需要有鐵路和公路來加快人員流動與商務(wù)交流,需要有學(xué)校和大學(xué)來培訓(xùn)勞動者。
我們一致發(fā)現(xiàn),只有制定出保障競爭和公平競賽的規(guī)則,自由市場才能蓬勃發(fā)展。together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from lifes worst hazards and misfortune.我們一致決定,一個偉大的國家必須照顧弱者,并在其陷入生命中最大的危險與不幸時給予他們庇護。
through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all societys ills can be cured through government alone.our celebration of initiative and enterprise;our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, are constants in our character.在這一過程中,我們從未放棄自己對集權(quán)的懷疑,也從未屈服于所有社會疾病都能且僅能通過政府的力量加以治愈這種謬論。我們對個人的首創(chuàng)精神與進取心的頌揚,我們對努力工作與個人責任的堅持,這些都是我們性格中永恒不變的東西。
but we have always understood that when times change, so must we;that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges;that 但我們始終明白,當時代改變,我們自己也必須改變;忠實于我們的立國原則就需要對新的挑戰(zhàn)做出新的回答;要維護我們的個人自由最終需要采取集體行動。對美國人來說,我們已不再能夠單憑一己之力來應(yīng)對當今世界的各種需求,一如美國士兵不可能憑借火槍和民兵組織來應(yīng)對法西斯主義與共產(chǎn)主義勢力的軍隊一樣。沒有哪個個人能夠培訓(xùn)出教育我們子女所需的全部數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)教師,也沒有哪個個人能建造出將帶來新的工作機會和商機的道路、網(wǎng)絡(luò)設(shè)施和研究實驗室。現(xiàn)在,我們比以往任何時候都需要聚集在一個國家、一個民族的旗幟下,同心協(xié)力來完成這些工作。
this generation of americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience.a decade of war is now ending.an economic recovery has begun.americas possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive;diversity and openness;an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention.my fellow americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it so long as we seize it together.這一代美國人經(jīng)歷了多重危機的考驗,這些危機堅定了我們的決心,證明了我們的恢復(fù)力。長達10年的戰(zhàn)爭現(xiàn)在即將結(jié)束,經(jīng)濟復(fù)蘇已經(jīng)開始。美國有無限種可能,因為我們擁有
這個沒有邊界的世界所需的全部品質(zhì):青春與活力,多樣性與開放性,應(yīng)對風險的無限能力以及進行再創(chuàng)造的天賦才能。同胞們,我們正是為此刻而生,我們要抓住這個機會──只要我們團結(jié)一致,我們就能抓住這個機會。
for we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.we believe that americas prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class.we know that america thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work;when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship.we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an american, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of god but also in our own.因為美國人民清楚,如果只有越來越少的人獲得成功,而越來越多的人難以成功,那我們的國家就無法成功。我們相信,美國的繁榮必須建立在不斷崛起的中產(chǎn)階級的寬闊臂膀上。我們知道,只有當每個人都能通過工作實現(xiàn)自立,感到自豪,只有當通過誠實勞動賺得的薪水讓家人不再艱難度日,美國才能實現(xiàn)蓬勃發(fā)展。只有當出生于最貧窮環(huán)境中的小女孩明白,她有著與其他任何人同樣的成功機會時,我們才無愧于自己的信條。而她之所以擁有這樣的機會,是因為她是美國人,她擁有自由和平等的權(quán)利。這些權(quán)利不僅由上帝見證,也通過我們的眼睛得以見證。
第三篇:奧巴馬競選演講全文
奧巴馬競選演講全文
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of rema-ki-ng this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years--blockby block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.但我也會向你們誠懇地交待我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn),奧巴馬競選演講全文。我會認真聽從你們的建議,尤其是意見不一致的時候。總之,我邀請你們加入到國家再建的工作之中。221年來,我們的國家就是這樣一磚一瓦,一點一滴地建造起來的。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.我們開始于21個月前深冬,不會結(jié)束在今年的這個秋天的夜晚結(jié)束。
This victory alone is not the change we seek.It is only the chance for usto make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.這僅僅是勝利而不是我們所尋求的變化。這是唯一的機會,我們做出的改變。并能不會發(fā)生,如果我們回到這樣的。
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.它不能發(fā)生沒有你,沒有一種新的精神服務(wù),新的犧牲精神。
Solet us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where eachof us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.因此,讓我們拿出一個新的愛國主義精神,責任感,在我們每個人都決心在球場和努力,并期待后,不僅自己,而且對方。
Letus remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.讓我們記住,如果這個金融危機告訴我們什么,那就是我們不能有一個蓬勃發(fā)展的同時華爾街主街受到影響,演講稿《奧巴馬競選演講全文》。
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people.Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettineand immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.在這個國家,我們的興衰,作為一個民族,作為一個人。讓我們抵制誘-惑,回到屬于同一-黨派和雞毛蒜皮的小事和不成熟有毒害我們的政治這么久。
Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.讓我們銘記,是這個州的人第一次將共和黨的旗幟扛進了白宮,(共和黨)是一個將價值觀建立在自信、個人自由以及國家團結(jié)基礎(chǔ)上的政黨。
Those are values that we all share.And while the Democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.我們所有人都信奉這一價值。民-主黨今晚獲得了巨大的勝利,但我們未來將用謙卑和決心來彌補競選過程中產(chǎn)生的裂痕。
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends.Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.正如林肯所說,我們不是敵人,而是朋友。我們決不能成為敵人,盡管目前的情緒有些緊張,但決不能容許它使我們之間的親密情感紐帶破裂。
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices.I need your help.And I will be your president,too.對于那些支持我的美國人,以及那些沒有將選票投給我的人,我傾聽到了你們的聲音,我需要得到你們的幫助,而我也同樣是你們的總統(tǒng)。
第四篇:奧巴馬競選演講
奧巴馬競選演講音頻
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.和所有觀看今晚從超出了我們的海岸,來自議會和宮殿,那些誰是圍著收音機中被遺忘的角落的世界,我們的故事是獨特的,但我們的命運是共同的,新的曙光美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)在手,奧巴馬競選演講。
To those--to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security:We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beaconstill burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals:democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.那些-那些誰將世界撕裂了:我們將打敗你。這些誰尋求和平與安全的:我們支持你。對于所有那些疑惑美國的燈塔是否還會繼續(xù)明亮燃燒的人,今夜我們將再次證明,我們國家的力量并不是來源來我們的胳膊的臂力,也不是來源于我們的財富,而是源自于我們理念的持久力量。這些理念包括:***、自由、機會以及堅貞不屈的希望。
That's the true genius of America: that America can change.Our union can be perfected.What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.這是真正的天才合眾國:美國會發(fā)生變化。我們的工會可以完善。我們已經(jīng)取得了讓我們希望我們能夠而且必須實現(xiàn)的明天。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who casther ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others whostood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for onething: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 yearsold.這次選舉有許多優(yōu)勢,許多故事,會被告知幾代人,演講稿《奧巴馬競選演講》。但是,這在我腦海今晚的約一個女人誰投她的選票在亞特蘭大。她就像數(shù)以百萬計的其他人誰站在線,使他們的聲音在這次選舉中除一件事:尼克松安庫珀是106歲。
She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons--because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.她出生的一代剛剛過去的奴役;當時有沒有汽車在道路上或飛機在天空中;當有人能像她一樣不參加表決的原因有兩個-因為她是一名女子,由于她的顏色皮膚。
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America--the heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.今晚,我想所有的,她在整個看到她在美國的世紀-在心痛和希望;的斗爭和取得的;的時候,我們被告知,我們不能,和人民誰壓上與美國的信條:是我們能夠做到。
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes we can.當時婦女的聲音被壓制和他們的希望被駁回,她活著看到他們站起來,說出并達成的選票。是我們能夠做到。
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose.Yes we can.當有絕望中的塵埃和抑郁一碗全國的土地,她看到一個民族征服恐懼本身的新政,新的就業(yè)機會,一個新的共同使命感。是我們能夠做到。
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes we can.當炸彈落在我們的港口和***威脅世界,她在那里目睹了一代產(chǎn)生的偉大和***是保存。是我們能夠做到。
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.她在那里的巴士蒙哥馬利,軟管在英國伯明翰,橋梁塞爾瑪和傳教士從亞特蘭大誰告訴人民,“我們克服。”是我們能夠做到。
第五篇:奧巴馬競選演講節(jié)選賞析
奧巴馬競選演講節(jié)選賞析
奧巴馬的競選演講《無畏的希望》堪稱他的成名之作。在奧巴馬這篇競選演講中,“希望”一詞在聽眾心里留下烙印,雖然美國面對分歧和危機,但是只要心中懷有“無畏的希望”,一切困境都會云開見日。
John Kerry believes in America.And he knows that it's not enough for just some of us to prosper—for alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga, a belief that we're all connected as one people.If there is a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child.If there is a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription drugs, and having to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandparent.If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threaten my civil liberties.約翰?克里相信美國,他知道僅僅我們一部分美國人功成名就還遠遠不夠。因為,在我們美國的傳奇歷史中,除了著名的個人英雄主義精神之外,還一定有另外的因素根植于其中。這個因素就是我們的信念,即我們形形色色的人心心相通,凝聚成一個民族。假如芝加哥南部的一個小朋友不識字,即使那不是我的孩子,我也會因此而感到惴惴不安。如果某地一個老婆婆買不起她的處方藥而不得不在醫(yī)療費和房租之間進行選擇,即使她不是我的祖母,也會使我感到羞愧難當。如果一個來自阿拉伯的家庭未經(jīng)律師辯護或訴訟程序就遭到驅(qū)逐,我就會感到我的公民自由也受到了威脅。
It is that fundamental belief—I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper—that makes this country work.It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams and yet still come together as one American family.正是這個基本信仰讓這個國家發(fā)展到今天:我們都是一家人,我們都是兄弟姐妹。只有這樣我們才能實現(xiàn)個人的夢想,才能成為一個美利堅大家庭。
E pluribus unum.Out of many, one.(拉丁文)合眾為一。(英文)合眾為一。
Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us—the spin masters, the negative and peddlers who embrace the politics of “anything goes” Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America—there is the United States of America.There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America—there's the United States of America.當我們在這里聚會的時候,也有人正準備分裂我們,那些操縱輿論的人和制作負面宣傳的人,他們投身沒有原則和不擇手段的政治。今晚,我需要對這些人講得是,美國人沒有所謂自由和保守之分,世間只存在一個美利堅合眾國。更沒有所謂美國白人黑人之分,拉丁裔和亞裔之分,有的只是美利堅合眾國一國的國民。
Hope—Hope in the face of difficulty.Hope in the face of uncertainty.The audacity of hope!希望,面對困難時所抱有的希望,在情況難料時所表現(xiàn)出的希望——這就是無畏的希望。
In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation.A belief in things not seen.A belief that there are better days ahead.最后,感謝上蒼賜予我們最好的禮物,也就是這個國家賴以生存的基石,因為我們相信最好的東西尚未出現(xiàn),更好的日子就在明天。
??
I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs and that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices, and meet the challenges that face us.我相信今天的我們就站在歷史的十字街頭,我們可以做出正確的選擇,迎接面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。
通過奧巴馬這篇競選演講,我們還學(xué)會了一個拉丁短語“E pluribus unum”,意為合眾為一,這也是在美國國徽上出現(xiàn)的格言。這篇激情澎湃的演講是否也瞬間給你注入了不畏的希望呢?
奧巴馬總統(tǒng)就職演說精華
奧巴馬不僅是個出色的政治家,更是一個卓越的演講家。奧巴馬的總統(tǒng)就職演說內(nèi)容與氣勢相融合,力量與感動相呼應(yīng),是一份絕佳的英語學(xué)習(xí)材料。小編精心挑選了奧巴馬就職演講中最富文采的若干段落,與大家共勉。
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.It must be earned.Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less.It has not been the path for the faint-heartedsome celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.在重申我們國家偉大之處的同時,我們深知偉大從來不是上天賜予的,偉大需要努力贏得。(我們的民族一路走來),這旅途之中我們從不走捷徑,也不只滿足少數(shù)人,這旅途也不適合膽怯之人、或者貪圖安逸不愿勞作、或者沽名釣譽之人。這條路是勇于承擔風險者之路,是實干家、創(chuàng)造者之路。這其中有一些人名留青史,但是更多的人卻在默默無聞地工作著。正是這些人帶領(lǐng)我們走過了漫長崎嶇的旅行,帶領(lǐng)我們走向富強和自由。
Our challenges may be new.The instruments with which we meet them may be new.But those values upon which our success dependsthese things are old.These things are true.They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history.What is demanded then is a return to these truths.What is required of us now is a new era of responsibilitythe knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.我們自信源于對上帝的信仰,上帝號召我們要掌握未來未知的命運。
This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed-why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.這就是我們自由和信仰的意義,這也是為何不同種族、不同信仰、不同性別和年齡的人可以同聚一堂在此歡慶的原因,也是為什么我,一個50多年前不能在當?shù)夭宛^接受用餐服務(wù)的老漢的兒子,今天能站在這里莊嚴宣誓的原因。
奧巴馬就職演說最令小編感動的是最后一句,因為我們的自由和信仰,50年前不能在參訂正餐就餐的老漢的兒子,今天可以站在眾人面前宣誓。希望各位也在奧巴馬就職演說中獲得力量,找回屬于自己的信仰和自由。
