奧巴馬芝加哥卸任演講完整視頻（中英文字幕）
奧巴馬芝加哥卸任演講視頻（中英文字幕）以下為奧巴馬演講全文：
很高興回家，回到芝加哥!回家真好!正如你們所見，我現在是個“跛腳鴨”總統，因為沒有人再聽從我的指示，正如現場大家每個人都有個座位。
我和米歇爾對于近幾周我們收到來自各方的祝福表示十分的感動。今晚，我該向大家說句謝謝了!也許我們為曾見面，也許我們意見不合，但謝謝美國人民對我的真誠。是你們讓我成為了一位美國總統，是你們讓我成為一個更棒的人。
我二十多歲的時候來到芝加哥，那個時候我還在探求我是誰，人生的意義是什么。那個時候我工作的地方就離現在這里不遠，也正是在這幾條街道上我意識到了信念的力量和面臨磨難的尊嚴。在這里，我知道，只有普通人真正融入、團結在一起，我們才可以做出改變。即使在我作為總統的這八年中，我依然堅信。
這不僅只是我的信仰，也是全體美國人的心聲。美國的與眾不同是我們能變得更好的能力。
權力從一個自由選舉的總統向下一任轉移的過程是平穩有序的，這是非常重要的。我曾向特朗普承諾，我的政治團隊將確保此次換屆過程非常平穩，就像當初布什總統把權力交接給我一樣。因為，我們每個人首先要保證美國政府未來有能力解決我們現在仍然面臨的問題。
在美國歷史中，曾經有過幾次內部團結被破壞的時候。本世紀初，就是美國社會團結遭到威脅的一個時期。世界各國聯系更加緊密，但是社會不平等問題更加突出，恐怖主義的威脅也更加嚴重。這些因素不僅僅會考驗美國的安全和法弄，也對美國的民眾體制產生威脅。未來，我們如何迎接這些民主挑戰將關系到我們是否能正確教育下一代、繼續創造就業崗位并保護美國的國土安全。
醫療保險政策
目前，美國未參保人數比例大幅下降，醫療保健費用增速已將降至過去50年以來最低水平。如果任何人能夠提出一項醫保政策，并切實證明新政策比上一屆政府提出的醫保改革更加有效，能夠盡可能地以較低價格覆蓋廣大美國人民，我會公開支持這種新的醫保政策。
種族和移民問題
美國總統大選結束后，一些人認為美國已經進入后種族時代。盡管這種種族融合的愿望是好的，但是卻不太可能真正實現。目前，種族問題仍然是一個可能造成社會分裂的重大問題。以我個人經歷來看，如今美國社會的種族問題比二十、三十年前有了較大改善，這種社會進步不僅僅體現在統計數字中，也可以從不同政治觀念的年輕一代美國人的態度中看出來。
但是，我們的工作還遠遠沒有結束。我們每個人都還有很多工作去做。如果每個經濟問題都通過勤勞的美國中產階級與少數族群之間的沖突來解讀，那么各個種族的工人階級將為一點點剩余的勞動果實爭得頭破血流，而那些富人會進一步收縮進他們自己的小圈子。如果我們僅僅因為移民后裔長得不像我們，就拒絕給這些孩子投資，那我們也是在犧牲美國人后代的希望，因為這些移民后裔未來會在美國工薪階層占很大比例。
少數族裔問題
對于黑人和其他少數族群需要共同奮斗來解決許多美國人面臨的問題，這不僅僅包括難民、移民、農村的群人和變性人，也包括那些看上去享受各種社會優待的中年男性白人，因為這些人都面臨全社會經濟、文化和科技發生重大變革的挑戰。
政治是一場觀點的較量，這也是民主體制的設計理念。但是，如果每個政治團體沒有一些社會共識，不愿意去了解新的信息，不愿意去承認對手方的論點合理，也不愿意通過科學論據理性思考，那么這場辯論中沒有人在聆聽，雙方就不可能產生共識或者妥協。
環境保護
如果我們不采取更加積極的環境保護措施，我們的下一代就沒有時間再討論環境變化是否存在，而是忙于處理環境變化帶來的后果，包括自然災害、經濟發展停滯以及環境難民尋求避難等問題。現在，我們能夠也應當討論如何最好地解決環境變化問題。但是，如果我們僅僅否認環境問題存在，這不僅僅是背叛下一代，也背叛了歷史先驅們尋求創新并解決實際問題的精神。
恐怖襲擊
過去八年中，沒有任何一個境外恐怖主義組織成功地在美國本土上計劃并執行一次恐怖襲擊。盡管美國發生了本土滋生的恐怖主義襲擊事件，包括波士頓馬拉松炸彈襲擊以及圣博娜迪諾襲擊事件。對于那些一直堅守在工作崗位上的反恐工作人員，擔任你們的指揮官是我一輩子的榮耀。
我反對任何歧視美國穆斯林群體的行為。我們需要更加警惕，但是不需要害怕ISIL組織（伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國）殺害更多無辜的人民。如果我們在斗爭中堅守美國憲法和核心精神，他們就無法戰勝美國。俄羅斯或者中國等其他國家無法匹敵美國在全球范圍內的影響，除非我們自己放棄這種影響力，變成一個只會欺負周邊小國的大國。
不論我們屬于哪一個黨派，我們所有人都應當致力于重建美國的民主政治制度。我們的民主憲法是一項杰出的成就，也是上天賜予的禮物，但是這僅僅是一張紙，憲法本身不具備任何力量。憲法的力量是我們美國人民通過參與選舉、做出決議賦予的。
美國人應當成為積極參與政治的公民，讓參與政治成為日常生活的一部分，特別是如果一些人對目前美國政治的現狀不滿的話：“如果你厭倦了與互聯網上的陌生人爭辯，可以考慮在現實生活中與異見人士辯論。如果你認為一些問題需要被解決，那就采取行動組織力量。如果你對選舉出來的政府官員不滿意，那就爭取其他人的支持來自己競選。致謝
米歇爾，過去二十五年中，你不僅僅是我的妻子孩子的母親，也是我最好的朋友。你擔任了一個不是你爭取來的職責，但是你的優雅、勇氣和幽默都給這個身份烙上了你自己的印記。
（奧巴馬轉向他的女兒）你們兩個女孩聰明、美麗，更重要的是，你們善良而又充滿熱情。過去幾年中，你們沒有被聚光燈所累。在我的一生中，我為成為你們的父親而自豪。
（感謝副總統拜登）從賓州斯克蘭頓到特拉華州，你是我當選美國總統后提名的第一個人選，也是我最好的選擇。拜登是一個好兄弟，就像家人一樣。
（感謝工作人員）你們改變了這個世界。今晚，我將離開這個舞臺，但是我對于這個國家比我剛上任時更加樂觀。
美國民眾對國家充滿信心
我希望你相信，不僅僅相信我能夠為美國帶來改變的能力，也相信你自己能夠改變這個國家的能力。
希望你們堅信美國建國憲章中記載的精神，相信奴隸和廢奴主義者傳播的平等觀念，相信曾經通過游行爭取移民公平權利的精神，相信那些將美利堅旗幟插在海外戰場和月球表面的國家信念。這種信念存在于每個普通美國人的心中。
是的，我們能行。
是的，我們做到了。
是的，我們能行!

這是我們的時代，要使我們的人民重新工作并將機會留給我們的子孫；重新恢復繁榮并促進和平；回歸我們的美國夢想
并重申一個基本事實--在眾人之中，我們也是其中一個；當我們呼吸，當我們充滿希望的時候，我們遭遇冷嘲熱諷和質疑，那些人認為我們無法做到。我們將用一句話來做出回應：不，我們可以！

第三篇：經典演講(奧巴馬)芝加哥演講
經典演講
奧巴馬芝加哥演講詞
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。
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen;by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.學校和教堂門外的長龍便是答案。排隊的人數之多，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果必須不同以往，而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負。
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states;we are, and always will be, the United States of America.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，現在如此，永遠如此！
It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.長久以來，很多人說：我們對自己的能量應該冷漠，應該恐懼，應該懷疑。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往更美好的未來。
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.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 he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him and Gov.Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's 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人的想象。他是一位勇敢無私的領袖，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。
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.我要感謝下一位第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬。她是我家的中流砥柱，是我生命中的最愛。沒有她在過去16年來的堅定支持，今晚我就不可能站在這里。我要感謝兩個女兒薩沙和瑪麗婭，我太愛你們兩個了，你們將得到一條新的小狗，它將與我們一起入住白宮。我還要感謝已去世的外婆，我知道此刻她正在天上注視著我。她與我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們，他們對我的恩情比山高、比海深。
To my campaign manager, David Plouffe;my chief strategist, David Axelrod;and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.我要感謝我的競選經理大衛?普魯夫，感謝首席策劃師大衛?阿克塞羅德以及整個競選團隊，他們是政治史上最優秀的競選團隊。你們成就了今夜，我永遠感謝你們為今夜所付出的一切。
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 didn't start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington — it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.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某家的后院、康科德地區的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區的某家前廊。
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 generation's apathy;who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep;from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth.This is your victory.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。年輕人證明了他們絕非所謂“冷漠的一代”。他們遠離家鄉和親人，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 didn't do this just to win an election, and I know you didn't do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college.There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.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－－兩場戰爭、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、醫藥費，孩子今后的大學費用而發愁。我們需要開發新能源，創造就業機會，建造新學校，迎接挑戰和威脅，并修復與盟國的關系。
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，任務艱巨。一年之內，甚至一屆總統任期之內，我們可能都無法完成這些任務。但我從未像今晚這樣對美國滿懷希望，我相信我們會實現這個目標。我向你們承諾－－我們美利堅民族將實現這一目標！
There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't 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 it's 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。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，絕不應在這一個秋夜結束。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, it's 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.讓我們重新發揚愛國精神，樹立嶄新的服務意識、責任感，每個人下定決心，一起努力工作，彼此關愛；讓我們牢記這場金融危機帶來的教訓：不能允許商業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。
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 our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.對于關注今夜結果的國際人士，不管他們是在國會、皇宮關注，還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺，我們的態度是：我們美國人的經歷各有不同，但我們的命運相關，新的美國領袖誕生了。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。我們的聯邦會不斷完善。我們已經取得的成就，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 that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.這次大選創造了多項“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 couldn't 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。
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.今天晚上，我想到了安妮在美國過去一百年間的種種經歷：心痛和希望，掙扎和進步，那些我們被告知我們辦不到的年代，以及我們現在這個年代。現在，我們堅信美國式信念——是的，我們能！
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.在那個年代，婦女的聲音被壓制，她們的希望被剝奪。但安妮活到了今天，看到婦女們站起來了，可以大聲發表意見了，有選舉權了。是的，我們能。
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 and a new sense of common purpose.Yes, we can.安妮經歷了上世紀三十年代的大蕭條。農田荒蕪，絕望籠罩美國大地。她看到了美國以新政、新的就業機會以及嶄新的共同追求戰勝了恐慌。是的，我們能。
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.二戰時期，炸彈襲擊我們的海港，全世界受到獨裁專制威脅，安妮見證了一代美國人的英雄本色，他們捍衛了民主。是的，我們能。
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.安妮經歷了蒙哥馬利公交車事件、伯明翰黑人暴動事件、塞爾馬血醒周末事件。來自亞特蘭大的一位牧師告訴人們：我們終將勝利。是的，我們能。
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes, we can.人類登上了月球、柏林墻倒下了，科學和想像把世界連了一塊。今年，在這次選舉中，安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕，投下自己的一票。她在美國生活了106年，其間有最美好的時光，也有最黑暗的時刻，她知道美國能夠變革。是的，我們能。
America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made? 美利堅，我們已經一路走來，我們已經看到了那么多變化，但我們仍有很多事情要做。今夜，讓我們問自己這樣一個問題：假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個世紀，假如我的女兒們有幸與安妮一樣長壽，她們將會看到怎樣的改變？我們又取得了怎樣的進步？
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.現在，我們獲得了回答這個問題的機會。這是我們的時刻，我們的時代。讓我們的人民重新就業，為我們的孩子打開機會的大門；恢復繁榮，促進和平；讓美國夢重放光芒，再證這一本本性真理，那就是：團結一致，眾志成城；一息尚存，希望就在；倘若有人嘲諷和懷疑，說我們不能，我們就以這一永恒信條回應，因為它凝聚了整個民族的精神——是的，我們能！
Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.謝謝大家！愿上帝保佑你們，保佑美利堅合眾國。
第四篇：奧巴馬卸任演講(中英文全文)
以下是奧巴馬的告別演說全文：
你好，芝加哥！回家的感覺真好！謝謝，謝謝大家！（省略N個謝謝）
在過去幾個星期里，我和Michelle收到了各種美好的祝愿，我們非常感動，感謝大家對我的支持。今晚我仍然要向你們表達我的感謝，是你們，身處各地，各個場所的每一位美國人讓我保持真誠，是你們給了我靈感，并一直激勵著我前進。我每天都在向你們學習，是你們讓我成為一個更好的總統，成為一個更優秀的人。
我第一次來到芝加哥還是20歲出頭的時候，當時我還處在找尋自我的階段，還在為自己的生活尋找方向。就在離這不遠的一個社區，我開始參與教會團體工作。在這些街區，我看到了信仰的力量，看到了勞動人民面對困境和失意時那種安靜的尊嚴。就是在這里，我了解到只有普通民眾都參與進來，變革才會發生，只有我們的力量聯合起來，社會才會進步。
現在八年時間過去了，我仍然堅信這一點。我相信，這不只是我自己的一個信念，也是我們整個美國思想的核心所在——對自治進行大膽地嘗試。
我們的信念一直是，生來平等，造物者賦予我們一些不可剝奪的權利，其中包括生命、自由以及對幸福的追求。這些權利，雖然人人都有，但并不能自動實現。我們，每一個公民，必須通過民主的工具，來創建一個更加完美的國家。
這是造物者賜予我們的禮物，我們擁有用汗水、辛勞和想象力去追逐我們的個人夢想和自由，同時也承擔有團結一致，實現更高目標的義務。我們的國家并不是一開始就是完美的，但是我們已經展示出了改變的能力，并為每一位追隨者提供更好的生活。
是的，我們的進步并不均衡，民主工作也一直很艱難，同時存在一定的爭議，并且有時是血腥的。每向前邁兩步，給人的感覺往往是還要往后退一步。但是美國在漫長的發展過程中，我們一直銳意進取，不斷拓寬我們的信條，去擁抱所有，而不僅僅是其中一部分。
如果八年前，我告訴你們，美國將扭轉大衰退，重振汽車行業，并創造出歷史以來最多的就業機會；如果當時我告訴你們，我們將與古巴人民開啟一個新的篇章，停止伊朗核武器計劃并揪出9/11事件的幕后主使；如果當時我告訴你們，我們將實現婚姻平等，為另外2000萬的同胞贏得健康保險的權利；如果當時我告訴你們這些，你們可能會說我的目標定得有點高。但是現在這就是我們所做到的，這就是你們所做到的。是你們促成了這些變化，你們讓希望成真，也正是因為你們，現在的美國比我上任時變得更好、更強。
十天之內，世界將會見證我們民主的一個標志：通過自由選舉，將總統的權利和平地移交給下一位總統。我向當選總統特朗普承諾，我會為他提供最平穩的過渡，就像布什總統之前為我做的一樣。因為我們所有人都需要確保政府可以幫助我們應對目前面臨的諸多挑戰。
我們需要去應對這些挑戰，因為我們仍然是地球上最富有、最強大也最受尊重的國家，我們的青年和發展動力，我們的多樣性和開放程度，我們應對風險和進行革新的能力，都在向我們表明未來應該是屬于我們的。
但是，只有我們保持民主這些潛力才會發揮出來。只有當我們的政治反映出人民的正直，只有我們所有人，不論黨派關系或特殊利益，都有助于推動我們實現共同目的的渴望時，這些潛力才會發揮出來。
民主不需要同一性，我們的領袖會爭吵，會妥協，但他們知道民主需要一種基本的團結意識，雖然我們存在各種差異，但我們仍要團結一致，共同進退。
歷史上總會有一些時刻會威脅到這種團結，本世紀便是這樣的時刻：世界不斷變小，不平等持續擴大，人口變化以及恐怖主義蔓延，這些因素不只是對我們國家安全和經濟繁榮的考驗，也是對我們民主的考驗。我們如何來應對這些挑戰，將決定我們是否有能力教育好我們的孩子，創造優質的工作，并保護我們的家園。換言之，它將決定我們的未來。
在過去五十年以來，現在的醫療保健成本正在以最慢的速度上升。如果任何人能夠制定一個明顯優于目前醫療保健系統的改進計劃，并盡可能覆蓋更多的人，那我一定會公開表示支持。
我當選后，出現了一種說法是美國進入后種族時代（種族歧視已經不存在），這只是一個愿景，并不是現實。因為種族問題在我們的社會中仍然是一種強有力的分裂力量。雖然這一問題得到了某種程度的改善，但我們每一個人都需要做出更多的努力。畢竟，如果每一個經濟問題都被看作是勤勞的白人中產階級和不受歡迎的少數民族之間的矛盾，那所有種族的工人只能是爭奪蠅頭小利，而富人坐收漁翁之利。
這一切都不容易。對于我們中的太多人來說，退回到我們自己的溫床里最安全，無論是我們的社區或大學校園或禮拜場所或我們的社交媒體中，和那些與我們相似，有著同樣的政治背景，從不質疑我們的假設的人相處最舒適。赤裸裸的黨派之爭、日益增加的經濟和區域分層、媒體的分裂都成為政黨宣傳的工具——所有這一切使得這種區分似乎變得自然，甚至是不可避免的。我們變得躲在自己的泡沫里，只接受符合我們意見的信息，而不是基于現有證據形成自己的觀點。
這不是總是使政治如此沮喪的那部分嗎？當我們建議將財務經費投入到孩子們的學齡前教育時，選舉官員對赤字感到如此憤怒，但是當為公司削減稅收時，為什么不感到憤怒？其它黨派做出道德淪喪的事情時，我們緊緊抓住不放，但為什么當我們自己的黨派做出相同的事情時，我們卻選擇原諒？這不僅是不誠實，而是對事實進行選擇；這會自取其咎，因為我的媽媽曾經告訴我，―事實總有一天會暴露在你面前。‖
在短短8年時間里，我們減少了對外國石油的依賴，使我們的可再生能源增加了一倍，并帶領世界達成了一項拯救地球的協議。如果不果斷行動，我們的孩子將不會再有時間來辯論氣候變化的存在；因為，他們將忙于應對其影響：環境災難、經濟破壞和尋求庇護的氣候難民潮。
假裝問題不存在不僅背叛了后代，它暴露了這個國家的本質精神。
由于我們的官員、執法人員和外交官的非凡勇氣，無論男性還是女性，在過去八年中，沒有外國恐怖組織成功實施對我們的家園的襲擊，雖然波士頓和奧蘭多提醒我們激進組織的危險性，單我們的執法機構比以往更加具有有效性和警惕性。我們已經制服了數萬名恐怖分子——包括烏薩馬·本·拉登。
我們領導的全球聯盟已經牽制了伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國領導人，占領了大約一半的領土。伊黎伊斯蘭國將被摧毀，任何威脅美國的人都將被制服。
這就是為什么，在過去八年中，我一直致力于在一個更堅定的法律基礎上努力打擊恐怖主義，這就是為什么我們能夠結束折磨，關閉關塔那摩灣（以作為美軍的拘留營而著名），并改革我們的監管法律，以保護隱私和公民自由。
這就是為什么我反對歧視穆斯林美國人，這就是為什么我們不能退出大規模的全球斗爭——我們要擴大民主、人權、婦女權利和LGBT權利，無論我們的努力有多么不完美。因為，這是捍衛美國的一部分。為了反對極端主義以及宗派主義和沙文主義，這是與反威權主義和民族主義侵略的斗爭。
這也是我想要表達的最后一點：當我們把民主視為理所當然時，我們的民主就會受到威脅。我們所有人，不論黨派，都應該致力于重建我們的民主體制的任務。當投票率是發達民主國家中最低之一時，我們應該使投票更容易，而不是更難。當我們的組織信任度降低時，我們應該減少金錢在政治中的腐蝕性影響，并堅持透明度和道德的公共服務原則。當國會功能失調時，我們應該吸引我們的地區鼓勵政客迎合大眾需求，而不是僵化的極端。
所有這一切都取決于我們的參與；我們每個人都有公民的責任，無論權力以何種方式擺動。
我們的憲法是一個了不起的，美麗的禮物。但它真的只是一塊羊皮紙。它自己沒有力量。而是我們，人民，賦予它的權力——我們的參與，和我們做出的選擇。我們是否支持我們的自由，是否尊重和執行法治。美國并不脆弱，但是，我們漫長的自由之旅的成果并不確定。
如果你厭倦了在網絡上與陌生人爭論，嘗試在現實生活中與他們進行談話吧。如果有什么需要改變，那就系好你的鞋帶，組織一些事情。如果你對你當選的官員感到失望，可以拿一張剪貼板，拿一些簽名，自己去辦公室，出面，深入追究，堅持不懈。
有時你會贏，有時你會輸。假設別人都具有善良的美德可能是一種風險，而且會有一段時間，這個過程會讓你失望。但是，對于我們這些有幸成為這項工作的一份子的人來說，仔細想想，我可以告訴你，它可以使每個人得到激勵和啟發。在這個過程中，你對美國和美國人的信心將得到證實，而我的信仰已經得到證實。
感謝Michelle，在過去的25年中，你不僅是我的妻子和我的孩子的母親，也一直是我最好的朋友。你所要承擔的這個角色并不是你自己要求的，但你卻用優雅、堅韌、獨特的風格和幽默感成功地完成了角色轉變。你使白宮成為屬于每個人的地方。而新一代的年輕人視野會更高，因為他們有你作為榜樣。
感謝瑪麗亞和薩莎，你們成為了兩個了不起的年輕女性，聰明和美麗，但更重要的是，善良和周到，充滿激情。你們在聚光燈下承受了多年的負擔。在我一生中所做的所有事情中，我最為自豪的是成為你們的父親。
副總統拜登，是我做出的首個提名，也是最棒的提名。不僅僅是因為你是一個偉大的副總統，也是因為我收獲到了你這樣一個兄弟。你就像我的家人一樣，與你的友誼也是我生活中的一大快樂所在。
對于我那些杰出的工作人員，八年的時間，甚至對其中一些人來說，時間還要更久，我被你們的精力所感染，回想你們每一天的表現，你們的性格、心靈和理想。八年的時間，其中有些人由單身，到結婚生子，開始自己人生路上的新旅程。雖然世事艱難，但你們一直沒有被打倒，你們讓我自豪。
對于你們所有的人，每位搬到陌生城市的組織者，每一名敲門宣傳的志愿者，每一名第一次投票的年輕人，每個為這種變化努力的美國人，你們是最棒的支持者和組織者，我將永遠感激在心，因為是你們改變了世界，是你們的功勞。
這也是為什么，我雖然離開仍保持樂觀的原因所在，因為我們的工作不僅僅是幫助到很多人，更是激發了很多美國人，尤其是年輕人，相信你們可以有一番作為。
這一代美國人無私、富有創造性，并飽含愛國精神，你們相信公平、公正和包容，你們知道不斷保持變化是美國的標志，所以不要害怕，擁抱這些變化，你們會愿意承擔這項艱巨的民主工作。你們很快就會超越我們這些人，我相信，未來在你們手中。
我的同胞們，為你們服務是我的榮幸。我不會停止為你們服務，以后我將作為一個公民，與你們站在一起。最后，就像八年前一樣，我希望你們能夠堅持我們最開始的信念，那些來自奴隸和廢奴主義者爭取平等的信念，那些移民和自耕農人群的奮斗不息的精神，以及那些對于民主自由權利的爭取，這些也是每一位美國人的信念，未來的篇章等待著你們去譜寫。
我希望你們能夠堅持我們最開始的信念，那些來自奴隸和廢奴主義者的想法，那些移民和自耕農人群的精神，以及那些正義的追隨者的信仰，這一信念是每個美國人的核心信念，未來的篇章等待著你們去譜寫。

It‘s good to be home.My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes we‘ve received over the past few weeks.But tonight it‘s my turn to say thanks.Whether we‘ve seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people – in living rooms and schools;at farms and on factory floors;at diners and on distant outposts – are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going.Every day, I learned from you.You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.I first came to Chicago when I was in my early twenties, still trying to figure out who I was;still searching for a purpose to my life.It was in neighborhoods not far from here where I began working with church groups in the shadows of closed steel mills.It was on these streets where I witnessed the power of faith, and the quiet dignity of working people in the face of struggle and loss.This is where I learned that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it.After eight years as your President, I still believe that.And it‘s not just my belief.It‘s the beating heart of our American idea – our bold experiment in self-government.It‘s the conviction that we are all created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.It‘s the insistence that these rights, while self-evident, have never been self-executing;that We, the People, through the instrument of our democracy, can form a more perfect union.This is the great gift our Founders gave us.The freedom to chase our individual dreams through our sweat, toil, and imagination – and the imperative to strive together as well, to achieve a greater good.For 240 years, our nation‘s call to citizenship has given work and purpose to each new generation.It‘s what led patriots to choose republic over tyranny, pioneers to trek west, slaves to brave that makeshift railroad to freedom.It‘s what pulled immigrants and refugees across oceans and the Rio Grande, pushed women to reach for the ballot, powered workers to organize.It‘s why GIs gave their lives at Omaha Beach and Iwo Jima;Iraq and Afghanistan – and why men and women from Selma to Stonewall were prepared to give theirs as well.So that‘s what we mean when we say America is exceptional.Not that our nation has been flawless from the start, but that we have shown the capacity to change, and make life better for those who follow.Yes, our progress has been uneven.The work of democracy has always been hard, contentious and sometimes bloody.For every two steps forward, it often feels we take one step back.But the long sweep of America has been defined by forward motion, a constant widening of our founding creed to embrace all, and not just some.If I had told you eight years ago that America would reverse a great recession, reboot our auto industry, and unleash the longest stretch of job creation in our history…if I had told you that we would open up a new chapter with the Cuban people, shut down Iran‘s nuclear weapons program without firing a shot, and take out the mastermind of 9/11…if I had told you that we would win marriage equality, and secure the right to health insurance for another 20 million of our fellow citizens – you might have said our sights were set a little too high.But that‘s what we did.That‘s what you did.You were the change.You answered people‘s hopes, and because of you, by almost every measure, America is a better, stronger place than it was when we started.In ten days, the world will witness a hallmark of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power from one freely-elected president to the next.I committed to President-Elect Trump that my administration would ensure the smoothest possible transition, just as President Bush did for me.Because it‘s up to all of us to make sure our government can help us meet the many challenges we still face.We have what we need to do so.After all, we remain the wealthiest, most powerful, and most respected nation on Earth.Our youth and drive, our diversity and openness, our boundless capacity for risk and reinvention mean that the future should be ours.But that potential will be realized only if our democracy works.Only if our politics reflects the decency of the our people.Only if all of us, regardless of our party affiliation or particular interest, help restore the sense of common purpose that we so badly need right now.That‘s what I want to focus on tonight – the state of our democracy.Understand, democracy does not require uniformity.Our founders quarreled and compromised, and expected us to do the same.But they knew that democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity – the idea that for all our outward differences, we are all in this together;that we rise or fall as one.There have been moments throughout our history that threatened to rupture that solidarity.The beginning of this century has been one of those times.A shrinking world, growing inequality;demographic change and the specter of terrorism – these forces haven‘t just tested our security and prosperity, but our democracy as well.And how we meet these challenges to our democracy will determine our ability to educate our kids, and create good jobs, and protect our homeland.In other words, it will determine our future.Our democracy won‘t work without a sense that everyone has economic opportunity.Today, the economy is growing again;wages, incomes, home values, and retirement accounts are rising again;poverty is falling again.The wealthy are paying a fairer share of taxes even as the stock market shatters records.The unemployment rate is near a ten-year low.The uninsured rate has never, ever been lower.Health care costs are rising at the slowest rate in fifty years.And if anyone can put together a plan that is demonstrably better than the improvements we‘ve made to our health care system – that covers as many people at less cost – I will publicly support it.That, after all, is why we serve – to make people‘s lives better, not worse.But for all the real progress we‘ve made, we know it‘s not enough.Our economy doesn‘t work as well or grow as fast when a few prosper at the expense of a growing middle class.But stark inequality is also corrosive to our democratic principles.While the top one percent has amassed a bigger share of wealth and income, too many families, in inner cities and rural counties, have been left behind – the laid-off factory worker;the waitress and health care worker who struggle to pay the bills – convinced that the game is fixed against them, that their government only serves the interests of the powerful – a recipe for more cynicism and polarization in our politics.There are no quick fixes to this long-term trend.I agree that our trade should be fair and not just free.But the next wave of economic dislocation won‘t come from overseas.It will come from the relentless pace of automation that makes many good, middle-class jobs obsolete.And so we must forge a new social compact – to guarantee all our kids the education they need;to give workers the power to unionize for better wages;to update the social safety net to reflect the way we live now and make more reforms to the tax code so corporations and individuals who reap the most from the new economy don‘t avoid their obligations to the country that‘s made their success possible.We can argue about how to best achieve these goals.But we can‘t be complacent about the goals themselves.For if we don‘t create opportunity for all people, the disaffection and division that has stalled our progress will only sharpen in years to come.There‘s a second threat to our democracy – one as old as our nation itself.After my election, there was talk of a post-racial America.Such a vision, however well-intended, was never realistic.For race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society.I‘ve lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were ten, or twenty, or thirty years ago – you can see it not just in statistics, but in the attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum.But we‘re not where we need to be.All of us have more work to do.After all, if every economic issue is framed as a struggle between a hardworking white middle class and undeserving minorities, then workers of all shades will be left fighting for scraps while the wealthy withdraw further into their private enclaves.If we decline to invest in the children of immigrants, just because they don‘t look like us, we diminish the prospects of our own children – because those brown kids will represent a larger share of America‘s workforce.And our economy doesn‘t have to be a zero-sum game.Last year, incomes rose for all races, all age groups, for men and for women.Going forward, we must uphold laws against discrimination – in hiring, in housing, in education and the criminal justice system.That‘s what our Constitution and highest ideals require.But laws alone won‘t be enough.Hearts must change.If our democracy is to work in this increasingly diverse nation, each one of us must try to heed the advice of one of the great characters in American fiction, Atticus Finch, who said ―You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.‖
For blacks and other minorities, it means tying our own struggles for justice to the challenges that a lot of people in this country face – the refugee, the immigrant, the rural poor, the transgender American, and also the middle-aged white man who from the outside may seem like he‘s got all the advantages, but who‘s seen his world upended by economic, cultural, and technological change.For white Americans, it means acknowledging that the effects of slavery and Jim Crow didn‘t suddenly vanish in the ?60s;that when minority groups voice discontent, they‘re not just engaging in reverse racism or practicing political correctness;that when they wage peaceful protest, they‘re not demanding special treatment, but the equal treatment our Founders promised.For native-born Americans, it means reminding ourselves that the stereotypes about immigrants today were said, almost word for word, about the Irish, Italians, and Poles.America wasn‘t weakened by the presence of these newcomers;they embraced this nation‘s creed, and it was strengthened.So regardless of the station we occupy;we have to try harder;to start with the premise that each of our fellow citizens loves this country just as much as we do;that they value hard work and family like we do;that their children are just as curious and hopeful and worthy of love as our own.None of this is easy.For too many of us, it‘s become safer to retreat into our own bubbles, whether in our neighborhoods or college campuses or places of worship or our social media feeds, surrounded by people who look like us and share the same political outlook and never challenge our assumptions.The rise of naked partisanship, increasing economic and regional stratification, the splintering of our media into a channel for every taste – all this makes this great sorting seem natural, even inevitable.And increasingly, we become so secure in our bubbles that we accept only information, whether true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions on the evidence that‘s out there.This trend represents a third threat to our democracy.Politics is a battle of ideas;in the course of a healthy debate, we‘ll prioritize different goals, and the different means of reaching them.But without some common baseline of facts;without a willingness to admit new information, and concede that your opponent is making a fair point, and that science and reason matter, we‘ll keep talking past each other, making common ground and compromise impossible.Isn‘t that part of what makes politics so dispiriting? How can elected officials rage about deficits when we propose to spend money on preschool for kids, but not when we‘re cutting taxes for corporations? How do we excuse ethical lapses in our own party, but pounce when the other party does the same thing? It‘s not just dishonest, this selective sorting of the facts;it‘s self-defeating.Because as my mother used to tell me, reality has a way of catching up with you.Take the challenge of climate change.In just eight years, we‘ve halved our dependence on foreign oil, doubled our renewable energy, and led the world to an agreement that has the promise to save this planet.But without bolder action, our children won‘t have time to debate the existence of climate change;they‘ll be busy dealing with its effects: environmental disasters, economic disruptions, and waves of climate refugees seeking sanctuary.Now, we can and should argue about the best approach to the problem.But to simply deny the problem not only betrays future generations;it betrays the essential spirit of innovation and practical problem-solving that guided our Founders.It‘s that spirit, born of the Enlightenment, that made us an economic powerhouse – the spirit that took flight at Kitty Hawk and Cape Canaveral;the spirit that that cures disease and put a computer in every pocket.It‘s that spirit – a faith in reason, and enterprise, and the primacy of right over might, that allowed us to resist the lure of fascism and tyranny during the Great Depression, and build a post-World War II order with other democracies, an order based not just on military power or national affiliations but on principles – the rule of law, human rights, freedoms of religion, speech, assembly, and an independent press.That order is now being challenged – first by violent fanatics who claim to speak for Islam;more recently by autocrats in foreign capitals who see free markets, open democracies, and civil society itself as a threat to their power.The peril each poses to our democracy is more far-reaching than a car bomb or a missile.It represents the fear of change;the fear of people who look or speak or pray differently;a contempt for the rule of law that holds leaders accountable;an intolerance of dissent and free thought;a belief that the sword or the gun or the bomb or propaganda machine is the ultimate arbiter of what‘s true and what‘s right.Because of the extraordinary courage of our men and women in uniform, and the intelligence officers, law enforcement, and diplomats who support them, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland these past eight years;and although Boston and Orlando remind us of how dangerous radicalization can be, our law enforcement agencies are more effective and vigilant than ever.We‘ve taken out tens of thousands of terrorists – including Osama bin Laden.The global coalition we‘re leading against ISIL has taken out their leaders, and taken away about half their territory.ISIL will be destroyed, and no one who threatens America will ever be safe.To all who serve, it has been the honor of my lifetime to be your Commander-in-Chief.But protecting our way of life requires more than our military.Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear.So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are.That‘s why, for the past eight years, I‘ve worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing.That‘s why we‘ve ended torture, worked to close Gitmo, and reform our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties.That‘s why I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans.That‘s why we cannot withdraw from global fights – to expand democracy, and human rights, women‘s rights, and LGBT rights – no matter how imperfect our efforts, no matter how expedient ignoring such values may seem.For the fight against extremism and intolerance and sectarianism are of a piece with the fight against authoritarianism and nationalist aggression.If the scope of freedom and respect for the rule of law shrinks around the world, the likelihood of war within and between nations increases, and our own freedoms will eventually be threatened.So let‘s be vigilant, but not afraid.ISIL will try to kill innocent people.But they cannot defeat America unless we betray our Constitution and our principles in the fight.Rivals like Russia or China cannot match our influence around the world – unless we give up what we stand for, and turn ourselves into just another big country that bullies smaller neighbors.Which brings me to my final point – our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted.All of us, regardless of party, should throw ourselves into the task of rebuilding our democratic institutions.When voting rates are some of the lowest among advanced democracies, we should make it easier, not harder, to vote.When trust in our institutions is low, we should reduce the corrosive influence of money in our politics, and insist on the principles of transparency and ethics in public service.When Congress is dysfunctional, we should draw our districts to encourage politicians to cater to common sense and not rigid extremes.And all of this depends on our participation;on each of us accepting the responsibility of citizenship, regardless of which way the pendulum of power swings.Our Constitution is a remarkable, beautiful gift.But it‘s really just a piece of parchment.It has no power on its own.We, the people, give it power – with our participation, and the choices we make.Whether or not we stand up for our freedoms.Whether or not we respect and enforce the rule of law.America is no fragile thing.But the gains of our long journey to freedom are not assured.In his own farewell address, George Washington wrote that self-government is the underpinning of our safety, prosperity, and liberty, but ―from different causes and from different quarters much pains will be taken…to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth;‖ that we should preserve it with ―jealous anxiety;‖ that we should reject ―the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest or to enfeeble the sacred ties‖ that make us one.We weaken those ties when we allow our political dialogue to become so corrosive that people of good character are turned off from public service;so coarse with rancor that Americans with whom we disagree are not just misguided, but somehow malevolent.We weaken those ties when we define some of us as more American than others;when we write off the whole system as inevitably corrupt, and blame the leaders we elect without examining our own role in electing them.It falls to each of us to be those anxious, jealous guardians of our democracy;to embrace the joyous task we‘ve been given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.Because for all our outward differences, we all share the same proud title: Citizen.Ultimately, that‘s what our democracy demands.It needs you.Not just when there‘s an election, not just when your own narrow interest is at stake, but over the full span of a lifetime.If you‘re tired of arguing with strangers on the internet, try to talk with one in real life.If something needs fixing, lace up your shoes and do some organizing.If you‘re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself.Show up.Dive in.Persevere.Sometimes you‘ll win.Sometimes you‘ll lose.Presuming a reservoir of goodness in others can be a risk, and there will be times when the process disappoints you.But for those of us fortunate enough to have been a part of this work, to see it up close, let me tell you, it can energize and inspire.And more often than not, your faith in America – and in Americans – will be confirmed.Mine sure has been.Over the course of these eight years, I‘ve seen the hopeful faces of young graduates and our newest military officers.I‘ve mourned with grieving families searching for answers, and found grace in Charleston church.I‘ve seen our scientists help a paralyzed man regain his sense of touch, and our wounded warriors walk again.I‘ve seen our doctors and volunteers rebuild after earthquakes and stop pandemics in their tracks.I‘ve seen the youngest of children remind us of our obligations to care for refugees, to work in peace, and above all to look out for each other.That faith I placed all those years ago, not far from here, in the power of ordinary Americans to bring about change – that faith has been rewarded in ways I couldn‘t possibly have imagined.I hope yours has, too.Some of you here tonight or watching at home were there with us in 2004, in 2008, in 2012 – and maybe you still can‘t believe we pulled this whole thing off.You‘re not the only ones.Michelle – for the past twenty-five years, you‘ve been not only my wife and mother of my children, but my best friend.You took on a role you didn‘t ask for and made it your own with grace and grit and style and good humor.You made the White House a place that belongs to everybody.And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model.You‘ve made me proud.You‘ve made the country proud.Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women, smart and beautiful, but more importantly, kind and thoughtful and full of passion.You wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily.Of all that I‘ve done in my life, I‘m most proud to be your dad.To Joe Biden, the scrappy kid from Scranton who became Delaware‘s favorite son: you were the first choice I made as a nominee, and the best.Not just because you have been a great Vice President, but because in the bargain, I gained a brother.We love you and Jill like family, and your friendship has been one of the great joys of our life.To my remarkable staff: For eight years – and for some of you, a whole lot more – I‘ve drawn from your energy, and tried to reflect back what you displayed every day: heart, and character, and idealism.I‘ve watched you grow up, get married, have kids, and start incredible new journeys of your own.Even when times got tough and frustrating, you never let Washington get the better of you.The only thing that makes me prouder than all the good we‘ve done is the thought of all the remarkable things you‘ll achieve from here.And to all of you out there – every organizer who moved to an unfamiliar town and kind family who welcomed them in, every volunteer who knocked on doors, every young person who cast a ballot for the first time, every American who lived and breathed the hard work of change – you are the best supporters and organizers anyone could hope for, and I will forever be grateful.Because yes, you changed the world.That‘s why I leave this stage tonight even more optimistic about this country than I was when we started.Because I know our work has not only helped so many Americans;it has inspired so many Americans – especially so many young people out there – to believe you can make a difference;to hitch your wagon to something bigger than yourselves.This generation coming up – unselfish, altruistic, creative, patriotic – I‘ve seen you in every corner of the country.You believe in a fair, just, inclusive America;you know that constant change has been America‘s hallmark, something not to fear but to embrace, and you are willing to carry this hard work of democracy forward.You‘ll soon outnumber any of us, and I believe as a result that the future is in good hands.My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you.I won‘t stop;in fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my days that remain.For now, whether you‘re young or young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President – the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago.I am asking you to believe.Not in my ability to bring about change – but in yours.I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents;that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists;that spirit sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice;that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon;a creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written: Yes We Can.Yes We Did.Yes We Can.Thank you.God bless you.And may God continue to bless the United States of America.

奧巴馬獲勝演講視頻與中英文稿 還有奧巴馬的幾次重要演講的英語文稿 2008-11-06 20:03(barack obama chicago speech 44th president-elect)barack obama(柯西)hello, chicago.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.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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, hispanic, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.we are, and always will be, the united states of america.its the answer that led those whove been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.a little bit earlier this evening, i received an extraordinarily gracious call from sen.mccain.sen.mccain fought long and hard in this campaign.and hes fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves.he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine.we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.i congratulate him;i congratulate gov.palin for all that theyve achieved.and i look forward to working with them to renew this nations promise in the months ahead.i want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of scranton and rode with on the train home to delaware, the vice president-elect of the united states, joe biden.and i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nations next first lady michelle obama.and while shes no longer with us, i know my grandmothers watching, along with the family that made me who i am.i miss them tonight.i know that my debt to them is beyond measure.to my sister maya, my sister alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that youve given me.i am grateful to them.and to my campaign manager, david plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best--the best political campaign, i think, in the history of the united states of america.to my chief strategist david axelrod whos been a partner with me every step of the way.to 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.but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.it belongs to you.it belongs to you.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.it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.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.it drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the earth.this is your victory.and 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 the children fall asleep and wonder how theyll make the mortgage or pay their doctors bills or save enough for their childs college education.theres new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.the road ahead will be long.our climb will be steep.we may not get there in one year or even in one term.but, america, i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there.i promise you, we as a people will get there.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 the 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 to 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, calloused hand by calloused hand.what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot 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 cant happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism,

奧巴馬和麥凱恩經濟，教育，能源環境，種族等各方面政策的對比（英文）奧巴馬《無畏的希望》《我父親的夢想》在線閱讀（中英文版）篇五：2013奧巴馬第二任期連任就職演講視頻及演講稿(雙語)當地時間21日中午，第57屆美國總統就職典禮在首都華盛頓國會大廈西側舉行，奧巴馬總統發表連任就職演講，呼吁美國民眾團結一致，抓住機遇。80多萬觀禮的嘉賓從全美各地蜂擁而至，他們都期盼著能夠見證這一歷史性的時刻，同時對奧巴馬總統的第二任期也充滿了期待。
vice president biden, mr.chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: 副總統拜登、首席法官、美國國會議員、尊敬的客人和美國同胞們： 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 exceptionalis our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每次聚在一起舉行總統就職儀式時，我們總能見證到憲法經久不衰的力量。我們肯定民主的承諾。我們回憶起，團結這個國家的力量不是皮膚的顏色、所信奉的教條或名字的起源。讓我們與眾不同、成為美國人的是源自對一個理念的效忠，它早在2個多世紀前就在一份宣言中有過明確表述：
“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.”
“我們認為這一真理是不言自明的：人人生而平等，并由造物主賦予了某些不可轉讓的權利，其中包括生命、自由和追求幸福的權利。” 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’ve never been self-executing;that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth.(applause.)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，為了縮小這些文字意義與當今現實間的差距，我們將繼續這場沒有盡頭的旅程。因為歷史告訴我們，雖然這些真理也許不言自明，但它們從不會自動生效；雖然自由是來自上帝的禮物，但它必須由地球上的子民們去爭取。1776年的愛國者們不是為了用少數人的特權或烏合之眾的法則取代國王的暴政而戰斗。他們給予我們的是一個共和國、一個民有、民治、民享的政府，并委托每一代人去捍衛我們的建國理念。and for more than two hundred years, we have.兩百多年來，我們一直如此。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.通過皮鞭抽打和刀劍割劃流出的鮮血，我們學到，沒有哪個建立在自由平等原則上的聯盟能夠容忍半奴隸半自由的狀態。我們重塑自我，并發誓一同前進。我們一同決定，一個現代經濟體需要鐵路和高速路來促進旅游和商務，需要學校和大學來培訓我們的工人。
我們一同發現，一個自由市場只有當規則能確保公平競爭時才能夠繁榮。together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.我們一同下定決定，一個偉大的國家必須照顧弱者，并保護他們不受到生活最惡劣的傷害和不幸。
through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone.our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.通過以上所有，我們從未放棄過對中央集權的質疑，也未曾對光靠政府就能解決所有社會弊病的幻想有過屈服。對首創精神和進取精神的歌頌、對勤勞和責任的堅持已經成為我們性格中無法改變的一部分。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 preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.for the american people can no more meet the 但是我們一直懂得，當時代改變時，我們也必須做出相應的改變：忠于建國原則需要我們以新的方式應對新的挑戰；保證個人自由最終需要我們采取集體行動。因為沒有哪個美國人能獨自滿足當今世界的需求，就像美國士兵無法獨自迎戰擁有槍彈和民兵的法西斯主義。沒有哪一個人能為我們孩子的未來培訓所有的數學和理科教師，或是通過修路聯網和建立研究型實驗室給我們海岸帶來更多就業和商業活動。作為一個國家、一個民族，我們現在比以往任何時候都有必要團結一致，共同去做這些事。this generation of americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience.a decade of war is now ending.(applause.)an economic recovery has begun.(applause.)america’s 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.(applause.)這代美國人經受過多次危機的考驗，鍛煉了我們的意志，證明了我們的韌性。十年的戰爭即將結束，經濟已經開始復蘇。美國有著無限可能，因為我們擁有這個無國界的世界所要求的一切品質：青春和動力，多樣性和開放性，掌控風險無窮的能力和進行徹底改造的天賦。我親愛的美國同胞們，我們為此刻而生，只要我們能一同抓住這個機遇，我們就能把它緊緊抓牢。
for we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.(applause.)we believe that america’s 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.(applause.)因為，作為人民的我們知道，只有少數人過得好，而越來越多人生活無法好轉時，我們的國家就無法成功。我們相信，美國的繁榮必須建立在一個愈加龐大的中產階級寬闊的肩膀上。我們知道，只有當每個人都能在自己的工作中找到獨立和自豪，只有當誠實勞動所換得的工資能將家人從困苦的邊緣解救出來時，美國才能繁榮。
