美聯英語提供：奧巴馬勝選感言演講稿（中英文對照）3 So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of 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.讓我們呼喚一種全新的愛國主義，一種投入與責任感——我們每個人都更努力地工作，不僅考慮到我們自己，還要考慮到他人。如果這次金融危機有什么教訓的話，那就是實體經濟受損，華爾街也不可能繁榮。在這個國家，我們榮辱與共。

Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.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.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.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 tonight, but I hear your voices.I need your help.And I will be your president, too.讓我們一起抵制兩黨分立所帶來的那些長久以來腐蝕我們的政治的幼稚、繁瑣、無謂的爭端。讓我們記住來自這個州的那個第一個將共和黨的大旗插上白宮的人——他引領了一個崇尚自力更生、獨立自由和國家統一的政黨，這是我們都崇尚的價值觀。今晚民主黨所取得的偉大勝利，將促使我們更加謙虛、更加堅定地彌合曾經阻礙我們前進的分裂。正如林肯總統對那個更加分裂的國家所說的：“我們不是敵人，我們是朋友……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。”而對于那些不支持我的美國人——我可能還沒有贏得你們的選票，但是我聽到了你們的聲音，我需要你們的幫助，我也會成為你們的總統。

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 the

world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.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 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.對于那些身居海外，正在看著這里的美國人，還有在國會、白宮和在世界的某個角落圍坐在收音機前的人們——我們可能有不同的經歷，但是我們有相同的目標，美國的嶄新黎明正浮現在我們的面前。對那些想要破壞這個世界的人——我們將會擊敗你。對那些尋求和平與安寧的人們——我們將會幫助你。對那些懷疑美國的自由之火是否依舊興旺的人們——今晚我們再次證明了，我們的真正實力不是來自我們的強大力量、也不是來自我們的巨額財富，而是來自我們堅忍不拔的信念：民主、自由、機遇和永不放棄的理想。

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.天賦異稟的美國人——我們的國家可以改變，我們的聯盟將是完美的。我們已經取得的成績給我們帶來了信心，讓我們向著更偉大的成就前進。

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 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.這次選舉有太多的第一次，有太多的故事將被代代傳敘。但是給我印象最深的是一位女性在亞特蘭大投下了她的選票，她像千千萬萬的美國人一樣發出自己的聲音，除了一點——安·尼克松·庫帕（Ann Nixon Cooper）已經106歲了。

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.她生于黑暗的奴隸時代，那個時候路上沒有汽車，天上也沒有飛機。當時的她不能投票，只有兩個原因——她的性別和她的膚色。

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.而今晚，我想她一個世紀的經歷——心痛與希望；抗爭與進步；一次次失敗和逆流而上都證明了：我們做得到。

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.每一次女性的聲音被壓制，夢想被摧殘，她都看到她們再次站起來，行使自己的權利。我們做得到。

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.當美國人在風沙中絕望，全國陷入蕭條，她都看到這個國家克服恐懼，施行新政，創造新的工作崗位，統一目標。我們做得到。

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.當我們的港口被炸，暴政籠罩著世界，她見證了一代人的崛起，他們捍衛了民主。我們做得到。

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.她見證了蒙哥馬利的公共汽車停運、伯明翰的黑人暴動、塞爾瑪的血腥周末和那位來自亞特蘭大的傳教士對人們高聲喊出：“我們一定會勝利。”我們做得到。

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.我們登上過月球，我們推倒了柏林墻，我們用科學和創想連接了整個世界。今年，在這次選舉中，她伸出手指在屏幕上按下，她投出了自己的一票，因為經歷了106年的光明與黑暗，她知道美國應該如何轉變。我們做得到。

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? 美國，我們已經走了很久，我們已經看了 很多，但是還有很多事情等著我們去做。今晚，讓我們捫心自問——如果我們的孩子能夠看到下個世紀，如果我的女兒們也能幸運地像安·尼克松·庫帕那樣長壽，他們會看到什么樣的轉變？我們應該如何完成這些轉變？

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 thatfundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope.And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: 這是我們完成使命的機會。這是我們的時代。這是我們創造歷史的時刻——讓我們的人民得到工作，敞開門讓我們的孩子得到機會；恢復繁榮并推進和平；讓美國夢再次浮現，重申我們的基本信念——團結一心。當我們呼吸、我們暢想、我們面對犬儒主義、我們遲疑、我們面對那些質疑我們的人的時候，我們將銘記那凝聚了我們精神的不滅的信條：

Yes, we can.我們一定做得到。

Thank you.謝謝大家。

God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.上帝保佑你們，愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

第二篇：奧巴馬勝選演講稿(中英文對照)

Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.今夜，在當年的殖民地贏得了決定自己命運的權利200多年以后，讓美利堅合眾國更加完美的任務又向前推進了一步。

It moves forward because of you.It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.這一進程是因為你們而向前推進的，因為你們再次確認了那種使美國勝利克服了戰爭和蕭條的精神，那種使美國擺脫絕望的深淵并走向希望的最高點的精神，以及那種雖然我們每個人都在追求自己的個人夢想、但我們同屬一個美國大家庭、并作為一個國家和民族共同進退的信仰。

Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come.今夜，在此次選舉中，你們這些美國人民提醒我們，雖然我們的道路一直艱難，雖然我們的旅程一直漫長，但我們已經讓自己振作起來，我們已經發起反擊，我們在自己內心深處知道，對美利堅合眾國來說，最美好一切屬于未來。

I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time.By the way, we have to fix that.Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you

difference.我想感謝所有參加此次選舉的美國人，無論你是首次參加選舉還是為投票曾長時間排隊等候。順便說一句，我們需要解決這些問題。無論你是到投票站投票還是發傳真投票，無論你選的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼，你都讓別人聽到了自己的聲音，你都讓美國因你而不同。

I just spoke with Gov.Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future.From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov.Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.我要對羅姆尼州長說幾句話，我對他和保羅?萊恩在這次競爭激烈的選舉中的表現表示祝賀。我們可能爭奪得很激烈，但這僅僅是因為我們深愛著這個國家以及我們如此強烈地關心著它的未來。從喬治到勒諾到他們的兒子米特，羅姆尼家族選擇了通過公共服務來回報美國，那是一種我們今夜表示敬重和贊許的遺產。我期待著今后幾周能與羅姆尼州長坐下來討論一下我們可以從何處著手一起努力將美國推向前進。

I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.我想對我在過去四年中的朋友和伙伴表示感謝。他就是美國的快樂戰士、無出其右的最佳副總統喬?拜登。

And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago.Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.And I’m so proud of you guys.But I will say that for now one dog’s probably enough.20年前同意嫁給我的女性，我不會成為今天的我。請讓我公開說出下面這段話：米切爾，我對你的愛無以復加，我無比驕傲地看到其他美國人也愛上了你這位我們國家的第一夫人。薩沙和瑪利亞，在我們所有人的見證下你們正成長為兩個堅強、聰明和美麗的年輕女性，就像你們的媽媽一樣。我十分以你們為榮。不過我要說的是，眼下家里養一條狗或許已經夠了。

To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics.The best.The best ever.Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.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, through every hill, through every valley.You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you put in.在這個有史以來的最佳競選團隊和有史以來的最佳志愿者隊伍中，你們有些人是這次新加入進來的，有些人則是一開始就在我身邊。但你們所有人都屬于一個大家庭。無論你的工作是什么，無論你從哪里來，你們都將獲得我們共同創造的歷史記憶，你們都將被一位充滿感激之情的總統終生感激。感謝你們始終充滿信心，無論是在高峰還是在低谷。你們鼓舞著我走完整個選舉過程，我對你們所做的每件事、你們所做的每項不可思議的工作將一直充滿感激。I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that 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 saw folks working late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else.我知道政治角力有時會顯得小家子氣甚至愚蠢。它為憤世嫉俗者提供了足夠的口實，他們告訴我們政治不過是自負者之間的競爭，是特殊利益集團的地盤。但如果你曾經有機會與參加我們集會的那些人以及高中體育館內擠在隔離繩外的那些人攀談，或者看到那些在遠離家鄉的偏遠小縣的競選辦公室內加班工作的人，你會發現一些別的東西。

’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 fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.你將從一位年輕的活動現場組織者的聲音里聽到他的決心，他邊在大學里學習邊從事助選工作，他希望確保每個孩子都能擁有同樣的機會。你將從一位志愿者的聲音里聽到她的驕傲，她挨門動員選民是因為她哥哥終因當地一家汽車制造廠增加了一個班次而有了工作。你將從一對軍人夫婦的聲音里聽到深深的愛國情懷。他們深夜時還在接聽選舉電話，以確保那些曾經為這個國家作戰的人不會返回家園時還要為得到一份工作或棲身之所而苦苦爭斗。That’s why we do this.That’s what politics can be.That’s why elections matter.It’s not small, it’s big.It’s important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated.We have our own opinions.Each of us has deeply held beliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.正因為如此，我們要進行選舉。這是政治所能夠實現的。正因為如此，選舉很重要。這不是小事，而是大事，是至關重要的事。在一個有三億人口的國家實行民主制度可能嘈雜不堪、一團混亂、情況復雜。我們有自己的觀點。我們每個人都有自己深信的信仰。當我們經歷艱難時期，當我們作為一個國家做出重大決定時，這必然會激發熱情，也必然會引發爭議。That won’t change after tonight, and it shouldn’t.These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty.We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.這都不會改變，也不應該改變。我們進行的這些爭論恰恰體現了我們的自由。我們永遠不應忘記，就在我們講話之際，遙遠國度的人們現在正冒著生命危險，僅僅是為了獲得一個能夠對重要問題進行爭論、像我們今天這樣投票的機會。

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.A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.不過，盡管我們存在這樣那樣的分歧，我們大多數人都對美國的未來有著某些共同的希望。我們希望我們的孩子成長的國家能夠讓他們上最好的學校、接受最好老師的教導。一個無愧于全球技術、探索和創新領袖光輝歷史的國家，倘能如此，各種好工作和新企業將隨之而來。We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened 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.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.我們希望我們的孩子能夠生活在一個沒有債務之累、沒有不公之苦、沒有全球變暖帶來的破壞之虞的美國。我們希望留給后代一個安全、受到全球尊重和贊賞的國家，一個由全球有史以來最強大的軍事力量和最好的部隊保衛的國家，一個滿懷信心走過戰爭、在人人享有自由和尊嚴的承諾之上構建和平的國家。

We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrant’s daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag.To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner.To the furniture worker’s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat

or even a president – that’s the future we hope for.That’s the vision we share.That’s where we need to go – forward.That’s where we need to go.我們堅信一個慷慨的美國、一個富有同情心的美國、一個寬容的美國。美國向一位移民的女兒的夢想打開了大門，讓她有機會在我們的學校學習、對著我們的國旗宣誓；美國向芝加哥南部地區的一個小男孩打開了大門，讓有機會他看到一個最近街角以外的遠大人生；美國向北卡羅來納州的一位家具工人的孩子打開了大門，讓他有機會實現自己當醫生或科學家、工程師或企業家、外交官甚至是總統的夢想，這是我們希望的未來。這是我們共同的愿景。這是我們奔赴的方向，向前的方向。這是我們需要實現的目標。

第三篇：2012奧巴馬勝選演講稿

2012奧巴馬勝選演講稿

Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together.Reducing our deficit.Reforming our tax code.Fixing our immigration system.Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We've got more work to do.今晚，你投給的是行動，而不是政治。你們的選擇將成就你們的工作，而不是我們的。在接下來的幾個星期幾個月當中，我會期待和我們兩黨的領導人一起來共同尋求那些我們只有共同努力才能解決的矛盾的問題，縮減赤字，改革法案，修正移民法，拜托對進口石油的依賴。我們的路還很漫長

But that doesn't mean your work is done.The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote.America's never been about what can be done for us.It's about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government.That's the principle we were founded on.但是這不意味著你們的工作就結束了。服務于民主的責任并未因投票的結束而完結。美國的價值并不在于它為我們做什么，而是在于我們一起可以做什么。由我們艱難的和有時令人失望的，但又不可或缺的民主政府來完成。這是我們立國之根本。

This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich.We have the most powerful military in history, but that's not what makes us strong.Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores.我們比任何一個國家資源都豐富，但是這并不是我們富有的原因。我們有世上最無敵的軍隊，但是這并不是我們富有的原因。我們的大學、我們的文化，雖然是全球最優秀的，但這并不是世界人民爭相投奔我們的原因。

What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth.The belief that our destiny is shared;that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations.The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights.And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism.That's what makes America great.是因為我們是一個多民族的國家，多樣性的國家。我相信我們的命運緊緊相連，我相信國家的發展需要每個人都承擔起各自的責任，對他人的責任，對下一代的責任。所以無數美國人為之戰斗，為之獻出自由。同時也意味著權力和責任，同時也意味著愛和仁慈，義務和國家情操。這才是美國偉大的原因。

第四篇：奧巴馬勝選演講稿

奧巴馬：

Hello, Chicago.您好，芝加哥。

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.如果還有人仍在懷疑美國是不是一個一切皆有可能的國度的話，如果還有人仍在疑慮我們的美國的締造者的夢想是否還存在于我們這個時代的話，如果還有人仍在質疑我們民主的力量的話，今晚你就可以得到答案。

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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.這個答案可以從懸掛在學校和教堂的數量空前的競選條幅上得到；這個答案可以從等待了三四個小時，有很多還是有生以來第一次經歷來投票的人們身上得到，因為他們堅信這一時刻注定與眾不同，而他們的聲音可以成就這種改變。

It's 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.這個答案可以從不論青年還是老年，窮人還是富人，民主黨還是共和黨，黑人還是白人，拉丁裔、亞裔還是美國本土人，同性戀者還是異性戀者，殘疾人還是非殘疾人身上得到——他們向世界發出了這樣的信息——

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我們從來不分紅色之州和藍色之州，我們永遠都是統一的美利堅合眾國。

It's the answer that led those who've 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.這個答案告訴了那些一直以來充滿焦慮、恐懼和懷疑的人們，我們可以將雙手放在歷史之輪上，將它再次轉向充滿希望的美好明天。

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.這一刻我們已經等待了太久，但是今晚，由于我們在這一決定性的時刻所作出的選擇，美國迎來了它嶄新的一刻。

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.今天傍晚稍早些的時候，我接到麥凱恩參議員一個特別親切的電話。

Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign.And he's 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 they've achieved.And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.他在這場漫長而艱難的選舉中一直努力著，而他為他所熱愛的國家所付出的努力甚至更加艱辛而長久。可能我們當中的很多人甚至都無法想象麥凱恩議員從何時便開始為我們的國家奉獻自己，而我們卻早已享受到了這位勇敢無私的領導者為國家所做出的貢獻。我祝賀他和佩琳州長取得的成就。

同時我也期待著能夠和他們一同努力，共同延續這個國家對她的人民許下的承諾。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.我要感謝我的競選伙伴，他始終遵循著自己內心深處的聲音，他始終代表著那些和他一起在斯克蘭頓街邊長大，一起坐著火車回到故鄉特拉華州的人們，新當選的美國副總統喬·拜登。

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 nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.如果沒有過去這16年來一位摯友的支持，沒有穩定的家庭，沒有我一生的摯愛，沒有我們國家的下一位第一夫人，米歇爾·奧巴馬，今晚我將不可能站在這里。

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine.And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.馬莉婭和薩莎，你們很難想象我有多愛你們。現在你們可以帶著寵物狗一起來到新的白宮了。

And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's 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.還有，雖然我的外祖母已永遠離開了我們，但我知道她也正和所有成就我、支持我的家人們一樣在看著我。我今晚非常想念他們，而且知道我欠他們的已經太多。

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me.I am grateful to them.我的妹妹瑪雅，我的妹妹瑪雅和阿爾瑪，我的所有其他的兄弟姐妹們，感謝你們給了我這么多的一切支持，我感謝他們。

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.還有我的競選顧問大衛-Plouffe，此次競選的無名英雄，我認為，是他打造了美利堅合眾國歷史上最好的-最好的政治運動。

To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.感謝我的首席策略師大衛 阿克塞爾羅德，陪伴我走過向前邁進的每一步。

To 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.感謝歷史上最好的競選團隊，是你們讓今天成為可能，我會永遠感激你們為了成就今天所做出的努力和犧牲。

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.It belongs to you.It belongs to you.但最重要的是，我永遠不會忘記這場勝利的真正所有者，勝利屬于你們，勝利屬于你們。

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.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.我從來不是最有可能當選的候選人。剛開始我們沒有多少錢，也沒有多少人支持或者為我們背書。我們的競選團隊不是在華盛頓的華美的賓館大廳里組建的。它是在得梅因的后院，康科德的起居室里和查爾斯頓的門廊下組建的。這是那些從自己的微薄的積蓄中慷慨地捐出5美元，10美元和20美元的人締造的事業。

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.這是由離開家從事更艱苦、收益更少的工作，摒棄了這一代人常有的冷漠的年輕人締造的事業。

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.這是由那些不再年輕卻用于在寒風酷暑中敲開完全是陌生人的家門的人們締造的事業。上百萬美國人志愿組織了這件偉大的事業，證明了即使是在兩個世紀以后，一個民有、民治、民享的政府仍將永世長存。

This is your victory.這是你們的勝利。

And I know you didn't do this just to win an election.And I know you didn't do it for me.我知道你們并沒有僅僅為了贏得一場選舉而這樣做。我也知道你們不是為了我而這樣做。

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.你們這樣做，是因為你們明白擺在面前的任務有多么的艱巨。即使我們今晚可以慶祝，我們仍要知道明天要面對的將是我們有生之年最艱難的挑戰——兩場戰爭，陷入危險的地球，一個世紀以來最嚴重的金融危機。

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.即使我們今晚站在這里，我們知道有很多勇敢的美國人在伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的山區為我們冒著生命危險。

There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.我們知道有很多父母會在孩子們睡著以后仍然在為支付房租、醫療賬單或孩子的學費發愁。

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.我們知道要開發新能源，提供更多的就業機會，建設新的的學校，面對新的的威脅，修復更多的伙伴關系。

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.未來的路還很長，而且我們正在艱難地攀登在陡峭的山坡之上。我們未必能夠在一年或是在一個總統任期之內達到目標，但美國肯定可以。我從來沒有像今晚這樣自信：我們肯定可以達到目標。

I promise you, we as a people will get there.我向你們承諾，我們肯定可以作為一個民族達成我們的目標。

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 the government can't solve every problem.這一過程肯定還會出現挫折，甚至是不成功的開始。我作為總統所做出的決策，肯定也會有許多人并不贊同。我們也知道政府并不能解決所有問題。

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 it's been done in America for 221 years--block by 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。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.我們既然開始于21個月前深冬，我們就不會在今年的這個秋天的夜晚結束。

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.我們所追求的改變并不僅僅是這次的勝利。這僅僅是我們開始改變的機會。而如果我們回到以前的老樣子的話，改變就永遠不會發生。

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.沒有你，沒有一種新的服務精神，新的犧牲精神，改變是不會發生的。

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.因此，讓我們拿出新的愛國精神和責任感，讓我們每個人都全身心投入，更加努力的工作，不僅要關心自己，還要互相關照。

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.讓我們記住，如果能從這個金融危機里吸取什么教訓的話，那就是我們不能只有一個蓬勃發展的華爾街而美國的主干道卻每況愈下。

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 pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.我們作為一個民族與美國共興衰。讓我們抵制誘惑，不要回到長久以來毒害我們的政治的黨同伐異與不成熟的行為中去。

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，是這個州的人將共和黨的旗幟扛進了白宮，這是一個將價值觀建立在自信、個人自由以及國家團結基礎上的政黨。

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。雖然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。

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.還有對于所有在海外關注我們的人們，從身處廣廈王宮，到偏遠山區的人們，我們的故事雖然各不相同，但是我們的命運是息息相關的。新的美國就要來臨。

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 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.告訴那些企圖破壞這個世界的人：我們將打敗你。告訴那些追求和平和穩定的人：我們支持你。對于所有那些疑惑美國的燈塔是否還會繼續明亮地燃燒的人，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軍隊的強大，也不是來源于我們財富的豐裕，而是源自于我們理念的持久力量。這些理念包括：民主、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.這才是真正的美國：美國會發生變化。我們的聯盟可以更加完善。我們的成就讓我們有希望打造更美好的明天。

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 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.這次選舉有許多第一次，許多故事會代代相傳。但是，我腦海里的故事卻屬于一個在亞特蘭大投票的女人。她和其他排隊等候投票的人沒什么不同——只有一點：安 尼克松 庫伯今年已經106歲了。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.她出生的時候，奴隸制剛剛廢除不久;當時在道路上沒有汽車，在天空中沒有飛機;當時像她一樣的人們由于兩點原因不能參加投票：她的性別和她的膚色。

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.而今晚，當我想到她在這一個世紀里見到的美國——那些心痛，那些希望；那些拼搏，那些進步；那些我們被告知“不能”的年代，和那些堅守著美國夢的人們：是的，我們能做到。

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，她們的希望被忽視，她看到她們站起來，為投票權而奔走。是的，我們能做到。

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.當世界陷入恐慌和絕望中時，她看到了一個國家戰勝了自己的恐懼，創造了新的機遇，新的工作，新的共同目標。是的，我們能做到。

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里，當暴政威脅世界，她在那里目睹了一代人走向偉大，民主得以保存。是的，我們能做到。

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.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.人類登上了月球，柏林墻倒塌，她看到了一個由科學和幻想連接的世界。

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.今年，在這次選舉中，她用自己的手指觸摸投票站的屏幕，投出了自己的一票。因為106年后，在美國的美好和困難的經歷讓她知道怎樣可以改變美國。Yes we can.是的，我們能做到。

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?美國，我們已經來到了今天。我們已經看到這么多。但我們還有這么多事情要做。因此，今夜，讓我們反問一下我們自己，如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀；如果我的女兒能夠幸運地活得像安-尼克森-庫珀那樣長，他們將會看到什么樣的變化？我們那時將會取得什么樣的進步？ This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.這是我們來回答問題的機會，這是我們的時刻。

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 doubts 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.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！

Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.謝謝大家。上帝保佑你們。愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

第五篇：奧巴馬勝選演講稿

奧巴馬勝選演講稿（中英文對照）

Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.今夜，在當年的殖民地贏得了決定自己命運的權利200多年以后，讓美利堅合眾國更加完美的任務又向前推進了一步。

It moves forward because of you.It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.這一進程是因為你們而向前推進的，因為你們再次確認了那種使美國勝利克服了戰爭和蕭條的精神，那種使美國擺脫絕望的深淵并走向希望的最高點的精神，以及那種雖然我們每個人都在追求自己的個人夢想、但我們同屬一個美國大家庭、并作為一個國家和民族共同進退的信仰。

Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come.今夜，在此次選舉中，你們這些美國人民提醒我們，雖然我們的道路一直艱難，雖然我們的旅程一直漫長，但我們已經讓自己振作起來，我們已經發起反擊，我們在自己內心深處知道，對美利堅合眾國來說，最美好一切屬于未來。

I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time.By the way, we have to fix that.Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney

sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.我想感謝所有參加此次選舉的美國人，無論你是首次參加選舉還是為投票曾長時間排隊等候。順便說一句，我們需要解決這些問題。無論你是到投票站投票還是發傳真投票，無論你選的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼，你都讓別人聽到了自己的聲音，你都讓美國因你而不同。I just spoke with Gov.Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future.From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov.Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.我要對羅姆尼州長說幾句話，我對他和保羅?萊恩在這次競爭激烈的選舉中的表現表示祝賀。我們可能爭奪得很激烈，但這僅僅是因為我們深愛著這個國家以及我們如此強烈地關心著它的未來。從喬治到勒諾到他們的兒子米特，羅姆尼家族選擇了通過公共服務來回報美國，那是一種我們今夜表示敬重和贊許的遺產。我期待著今后幾周能與羅姆尼州長坐下來討論一下我們可以從何處著手一起努力將美國推向前進。

I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.我想對我在過去四年中的朋友和伙伴表示感謝。他就是美國的快樂戰士、無出其右的最佳副總統喬?拜登。

And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago.Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.And I’m so proud of you guys.But I will say that for now one dog’s probably

enough.如果不是那位20年前同意嫁給我的女性，我不會成為今天的我。請讓我公開說出下面這段話：米切爾，我對你的愛無以復加，我無比驕傲地看到其他美國人也愛上了你這位我們國家的第一夫人。薩沙和瑪利亞，在我們所有人的見證下你們正成長為兩個堅強、聰明和美麗的年輕女性，就像你們的媽媽一樣。我十分以你們為榮。不過我要說的是，眼下家里養一條狗或許已經夠了。

To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics.The best.The best ever.Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.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, through every hill, through every valley.You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you put in.在這個有史以來的最佳競選團隊和有史以來的最佳志愿者隊伍中，你們有些人是這次新加入進來的，有些人則是一開始就在我身邊。但你們所有人都屬于一個大家庭。無論你的工作是什么，無論你從哪里來，你們都將獲得我們共同創造的歷史記憶，你們都將被一位充滿感激之情的總統終生感激。感謝你們始終充滿信心，無論是在高峰還是在低谷。你們鼓舞著我走完整個選舉過程，我對你們所做的每件事、你們所做的每項不可思議的工作將一直充滿感激。

I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that 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 saw folks working late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else.我知道政治角力有時會顯得小家子氣甚至愚蠢。它為憤世嫉俗者提供了足夠的口實，他們告訴我們政治不過是自負者之間的競爭，是特殊利益集團的地盤。但如果你曾經有機會與參加我們集會的那些人以及高中體育館內擠在隔離繩外的那些人攀談，或者看到那些在遠離家鄉的偏遠小縣的競選辦公室內加班工作的人，你會發現一些別的東西。

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 fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.你將從一位年輕的活動現場組織者的聲音里聽到他的決心，他邊在大學里學習邊從事助選工作，他希望確保每個孩子都能擁有同樣的機會。你將從一位志愿者的聲音里聽到她的驕傲，她挨門動員選民是因為她哥哥終因當地一家汽車制造廠增加了一個班次而有了工作。你將從一對軍人夫婦的聲音里聽到深深的愛國情懷。他們深夜時還在接聽選舉電話，以確保那些曾經為這個國家作戰的人不會返回家園時還要為得到一份工作或棲身之所而苦苦爭斗。

That’s why we do this.That’s what politics can be.That’s why elections matter.It’s not small, it’s big.It’s important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated.We have our own opinions.Each of us has deeply held beliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.正因為如此，我們要進行選舉。這是政治所能夠實現的。正因為如此，選舉很重要。這不是小事，而是大事，是至關重要的事。在一個有三億人口的國家實行民主制度可能嘈雜不堪、一團混亂、情況復雜。我們有自己的觀點。我們每個人都有自己深信的信仰。當我們

經歷艱難時期，當我們作為一個國家做出重大決定時，這必然會激發熱情，也必然會引發爭議。

That won’t change after tonight, and it shouldn’t.These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty.We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.今晚過后，這都不會改變，也不應該改變。我們進行的這些爭論恰恰體現了我們的自由。我們永遠不應忘記，就在我們講話之際，遙遠國度的人們現在正冒著生命危險，僅僅是為了獲得一個能夠對重要問題進行爭論、像我們今天這樣投票的機會。

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.A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.不過，盡管我們存在這樣那樣的分歧，我們大多數人都對美國的未來有著某些共同的希望。我們希望我們的孩子成長的國家能夠讓他們上最好的學校、接受最好老師的教導。一個無愧于全球技術、探索和創新領袖光輝歷史的國家，倘能如此，各種好工作和新企業將隨之而來。

We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened 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.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.我們希望我們的孩子能夠生活在一個沒有債務之累、沒有不公之苦、沒有全球變暖帶來的破壞之虞的美國。我們希望留給后代一個安全、受到全球尊重和贊賞的國家，一個由全球有史以來最強大的軍事力量和最好的部隊保衛的國家，一個滿懷信心走過戰爭、在人人享有自由和尊嚴的承諾之上構建和平的國家。

We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrant’s daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag.To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner.To the furniture worker’s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president – that’s the future we hope for.That’s the vision we share.That’s where we need to go – forward.That’s where we need to go.我們堅信一個慷慨的美國、一個富有同情心的美國、一個寬容的美國。美國向一位移民的女兒的夢想打開了大門，讓她有機會在我們的學校學習、對著我們的國旗宣誓；美國向芝加哥南部地區的一個小男孩打開了大門，讓有機會他看到一個最近街角以外的遠大人生；美國向北卡羅來納州的一位家具工人的孩子打開了大門，讓他有機會實現自己當醫生或科學家、工程師或企業家、外交官甚至是總統的夢想，這是我們希望的未來。這是我們共同的愿景。這是我們奔赴的方向，向前的方向。這是我們需要實現的目標。
