第一篇:2012 奧巴馬競選演講稿
Four years ago as I had the privilege to travel all across the country and meet Americans from all walks of life.I decided nobody else should have to endure the heartbreak of a broken health care system.No one in the wealthiest nation on earth should go because they get sick.Nobody should have to tell their daughters or sons the decisions they can and cannot make for themselves are constrained because of some politicians in Washington.四年前我有幸周游了全國,遇到了各行各業(yè)的人們。我下定了決心不讓任何人由于醫(yī)療保健系統(tǒng)的不健全而心碎,不讓這個世界上最富有的的國家的任何人因為疾病而窮困潦倒。不讓任何人需要告訴自己的子女,他們能做什么,不能做什么,會由華盛頓的某些政客而左右。
And thanks to you, we’ve made a difference in people’s lives.Thanks to you.There are folks that I meet today who have gotten care and their cancer’s been caught.And they’ve got treatment.And they are living full lives and it happened because of you.感謝你們,人們的生活才有了更多不同。感謝你們,讓今天的我遇到的很多人得到了關(guān)懷,得到了治療。他們能夠繼續(xù)完整地生活,這些都離不開你們。
We've come too far to turn back now.We've got too much work to do to implement health care.We've got too much work to do to create good jobs.We've got too many teachers that we've got to hire.We've got too many schools that we've got to rebuild.We've got too many students who still need affordable higher education.我們已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷了那么多,現(xiàn)在不該回頭。要落實醫(yī)療改革,要創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機會,我們還有太多要做。有太多老師等著我們?nèi)フ骷刑鄬W(xué)校需要我們?nèi)ブ亟ǎ刑鄬W(xué)生需要讓他們負(fù)擔(dān)得起的大學(xué)。
There's more homegrown energy to generate.There are more troops that we've got to bring home.There are more doors of opportunity we've got to open to anybody who is willing to work hard and walk through those doors.We've got to keep building an economy.Or no matter what you look like or where you come from, you can make it here if you try.And you can leave something behind for the next generation.That's what at stake right now in Colorado.That's why I'm running for President of the United States of America.That's why I'm asking for your vote.有太多本土能源要去生產(chǎn),有更多的軍隊需要回歸祖國,有更多的機會之門需要我們?nèi)ゴ蜷_,讓那些愿意努力工作的人們有機會成功。我們要繼續(xù)發(fā)展經(jīng)濟。做到無論你是何種膚色,來自何方,只要你努力就可以成功。你就可以為下一代創(chuàng)造更好的條件。這是我們在科羅拉多州要爭奪的。這是為什么我要競選美國總統(tǒng)。這是為什么我希望你們投票給我。
I still believe in you.And if you still believe in me, and if you're willing to stand with me, and knock on some doors with me, and make some phone calls with me, and talk to your neighbors and friends about what's at stake, we will win this election.We will finish what we started.And we'll remind the world why America is the greatest nation on earth.我依舊相信你們。如果你們依舊相信我,如果你們愿意支持我,和我一起去叩門拜訪,和我一起打電話,告訴你的鄰居和朋友們,我們在爭取什么,那我們就能在這場競選中獲得勝利。我們就會像上次那樣贏得最終勝利。
God bless you and God bless the United States of America.上帝護佑你,上帝護佑美利堅合眾國。
第二篇:奧巴馬競選演講稿
Hello,Chicago!
芝加哥,你好!If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible;who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time;who still questions the power of our democracy,tonight is your answer.假如還有人不相信美國是一個不存在不可能的地方,還有人懷疑開國之父們的夢想依然在影響著我們這個時代,還有人質(zhì)疑美利堅民主的力量,那么,他們的疑惑在今夜得到了解答。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.在學(xué)校和教堂外面,人們排起了長長的隊伍,人數(shù)之多在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投上自己的一票,他們可以等待三個小時、四個小時。許多人是一生中第一次參加投票,因為他們堅信這一次必須有所變革,而他們的聲音將舉足輕重。
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.無論民主黨人還是共和黨人,無論黑人還是白人,無論拉美裔還是亞裔,無論同性戀者還是異性戀者,無論殘疾人還是健康人,他們向全世界發(fā)出了同一個信息:我們從來不屬于共和黨的“紅州”或者民主黨的“藍州”,我們屬于美利堅合眾國,現(xiàn)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.在如此漫長的時期內(nèi),曾經(jīng)有如此眾多的人們對我們說:對于我們的成功,我們應(yīng)該淡漠,應(yīng)該害怕,應(yīng)該不相信。但是,歷史之輪如今已在我們手中,歷史之輪將又一次在我們手中駛向美好未來。
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.通往今夜的道路很漫長,但今夜終于來臨。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.我接到了麥凱恩參議員一個非常大度的電話。在這次競選中,他作出了持久而艱巨的努力。為了這個他熱愛的國家,他作出的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美利堅做出的犧牲,超出了我們絕大多數(shù)人的想象。他是一位勇敢無私的領(lǐng)袖,正因為有了象他這樣的服務(wù),我們才生活得更好。我對麥凱恩參議員以及佩林州長的成績表示祝賀。同時,我也期待著在未來與他們一起為振興國家而共同努力。
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,一位全身心投入的男人——當(dāng)選副總統(tǒng)喬?拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓街道長大的人們,為了曾與他一起坐那趟回特拉華州火車的人們,他全心全意地竟選,他要為這些普通百姓代言。
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,我就不可能今晚站在這里。我要感謝薩沙和瑪麗雅,我太愛你們兩個了,你們將有一條新的小狗,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
她與其它親人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們,我知道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(jīng)理大衛(wèi)?普魯夫,感謝首席策劃師大衛(wèi)?阿克塞羅德以及整個競選團隊,他們是政治史上最優(yōu)秀的競選團隊。你們成就了今夜,我永遠感謝你們?yōu)榻褚顾鞒龅臓奚?/p>
But above all,I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是,我將永遠不會忘記這場勝利真正歸功于誰---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.我曾經(jīng)是最沒有可能的候選人。起初,我們的資金不多,贊助人也不多。我們的競選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳,而是起于德莫奈地區(qū)某家的后院、康科德地區(qū)的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區(qū)的某家前廊。It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their 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
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.這些勞動大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿來捐助我們的事業(yè)。現(xiàn)在的年輕人曾被認(rèn)為是冷漠的一代,但正是這些年輕人壯大了我們的聲勢。他們離開自己的家庭和親人,拿著很少的報酬,起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀(jì)的人也頂著嚴(yán)寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門助選。無數(shù)的美國人自愿地組織起來,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.我知道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,是因為你們明白未來的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。今晚我們在歡慶,明天我們就將面對一生之中最為嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)--兩場戰(zhàn)爭、一個充滿危險的星球,還有百年一遇的金融危機。今晚我們站在這里慶祝,但我們知道
為了我們,他們醒來后面對的是一個有生命危險的世界。這些士兵的父母會在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠,他們擔(dān)憂的是如何償還月供,如何支付醫(yī)藥費,如何存夠今后孩子的大學(xué)費用。我們需要開發(fā)新能源,創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機會;修建新的學(xué)校;我們還要迎接挑戰(zhàn)和威脅,并修復(fù)與盟國的關(guān)系。The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year,or even one term,but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you: We as a people will get there.前方的道路還很漫長,任務(wù)很艱巨。一年之內(nèi),甚至一屆任期之內(nèi),我們可能都無法完成這些任務(wù)。但我從未像今晚這樣對美國滿懷希望,我相信我們會實現(xiàn)這個目標(biāo)。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅民族將實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)!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(rèn)同我得某一項決定或政策。我們知道政府并不能解決所有問題,我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的困難。我會聆聽你們的意見,尤其是在我們意見不同的時候。最重要的是,我會請求你們一起參與重建這個國家。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
— it is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It cannot happen without you.21個月前那個隆冬所開始的一切絕不應(yīng)在今天這個秋夜結(jié)束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選,這只是給變革提供了一個機會。假如我們?nèi)匀话凑宅F(xiàn)有方式行事,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.讓我們發(fā)揚新的愛國精神,樹立新的服務(wù)意識和責(zé)任感;讓我們每個人下定決心,更加努力地工作,彼此關(guān)愛;讓我們牢記這場金融危機帶來的教訓(xùn):不能允許商業(yè)街掙扎的同時卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個國家,我們屬于同一民族,我們患難與共。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.黨派政治,瑣碎狹隘,不成熟,長期以來這些東西荼毒了我們的政治。讓我們牢記,當(dāng)來自伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的大旗扛進白宮時,伴隨著他的是自強自立、個人自由、國家統(tǒng)
這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝,但我們態(tài)度謙卑,并決心彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧。As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours,“We are not enemies,but friends...Though passion may have strained,it must not break our bonds of affection.” And,to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn,I may not have won your vote,but I hear your voices,I need your help,and I will be your president,too.當(dāng)年,林肯面對的是一個比目前分歧更深更大的國家。他說:“我們不是敵人,而是朋友……雖然激情可能褪去,但是我們的感情紐帶不會割斷。”對于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人,我想說,雖然我沒有贏得你們的選票,但我聽到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。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(guān)注今夜結(jié)果的國際人士,不管他們是在國會、皇宮關(guān)注,還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺,我們的態(tài)度是:我們美國人的經(jīng)歷各有不同,但我們的命運相同,新的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。那些想要毀滅這個世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們,我們支持你們。那些懷疑
今天晚上我們已再次證明:美國的真正力量來源并非軍事威力或財富規(guī)模,而是我們理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。For that is the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.這才是美國真正的精髓--美國能夠變革。我們的聯(lián)邦會不斷完善。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就,將為我們將來能夠并且必須取得的成就增添了希望。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(chuàng)造了多項“第一”,誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女:安妮?庫波爾。她和無數(shù)排隊等待投票的選民沒有什么差別,除了一點: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,黑奴制剛剛結(jié)束。那時路上沒有汽車,天上沒有飛機。當(dāng)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.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(xiàn)在這個年代。現(xiàn)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.婦女曾經(jīng)沒有發(fā)言權(quán),她們曾經(jīng)希望破滅。但安妮活到了今天,看到了婦女們站了起來,她們發(fā)表自己的見解,有了選舉權(quán)。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.上世紀(jì)三十年代,大蕭條橫掃美國大地,一片絕望。她看到了美國以新政、新的就業(yè)機會以及嶄新的共同追求戰(zhàn)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(zhàn)時期,炸彈降臨我們的海港上空,全世界受到獨裁專制的威脅,她見證了美國一代人的偉大崛起,他們拯救了民主。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.她看到了蒙哥馬利通了公共汽車、伯明翰接上了水管、塞爾馬建了橋。來自亞特蘭大的一位傳教士告訴人們:我們能!。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,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(xué)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(jīng)一路走來,我們已經(jīng)看到了那么多變化,但我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥=褚梗屛覀儐栕约哼@樣一個問題:假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個世紀(jì);假如我們的女兒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(xiàn)在,我們有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(yè),為我們的孩子打開機會的大門;恢復(fù)繁榮,促進和平;讓美國夢重放光芒,再證這一重要的真理,那就是:團結(jié)一致,眾志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲諷我們不能,懷疑我們能,那
么我們就以這一永恒信條回應(yīng),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!愿主保佑你們,保佑美利堅合眾國。
第三篇:奧巴馬競選演講稿
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(xué)校和教堂門外的長龍便是答案。排隊的人數(shù)之多,在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投票,他們排隊長達三、四個小時。許多人一生中第一次投票,因為他們認(rèn)為這一次大選結(jié)果必須不同以往,而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負(fù)。
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(xiàn)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(yīng)該冷漠,應(yīng)該恐懼,應(yīng)該懷疑。但是,歷史之輪如今已在我們手中,我們又一次將歷史之輪轉(zhuǎn)往更美好的未來。
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。

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.假如還有人不相信美國是一個不存在不可能的地方,還有人懷疑開國之父們的夢想依然在影響著我們這個時代,還有人質(zhì)疑美利堅民主的力量,那么,他們的疑惑在今夜得到了解答。
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.在學(xué)校和教堂外面,人們排起了長長的隊伍,人數(shù)之多在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投上自己的一票,他們可以等待三個小時、四個小時。許多人是一生中第一次參加投票,因為他們堅信這一次必須有所變革,而他們的聲音將舉足輕重。

to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.剛才,我接到了麥凱恩參議員一個非常大度的電話。在這次競選中,他作出了持久而艱巨的努力。為了這個他熱愛的國家,他作出的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美利堅做出的犧牲,超出了我們絕大多數(shù)人的想象。他是一位勇敢無私的領(lǐng)袖,正因為有了象他這樣的服務(wù),我們才生活得更好。我對麥凱恩參議員以及佩林州長的成績表示祝賀。同時,我也期待著在未來與他們一起為振興國家而共同努力。

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(jīng)理大衛(wèi)?普魯夫,感謝首席策劃師大衛(wèi)?阿克塞羅德以及整個競選團隊,他們是政治史上最優(yōu)秀的競選團隊。你們成就了今夜,我永遠感謝你們?yōu)榻褚顾鞒龅臓奚?/p>
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是,我將永遠不會忘記這場勝利真正歸功于誰---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.我曾經(jīng)是最沒有可能的候選人。起初,我們的資金不多,贊助人也不多。我們的競選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳,而是起于德莫奈地區(qū)某家的后院、康科德地區(qū)的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區(qū)的某家前廊。
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy;who left their homes and their 網(wǎng)址:寫入您公司的網(wǎng)址電話:寫入您公司電話
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.這些勞動大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿來捐助我們的事業(yè)。現(xiàn)在的年輕人曾被認(rèn)為是冷漠的一代,但正是這些年輕人壯大了我們的聲勢。他們離開自己的家庭和親人,拿著很少的報酬,起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀(jì)的人也頂著嚴(yán)寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門助選。無數(shù)的美國人自愿地組織起來,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.我知道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,是因為你們明白未來的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。今晚我們在歡慶,明天我們就將面對一生之中最為嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)--兩場戰(zhàn)爭、一個充滿危險的星球,還有百年一遇的金融危機。今晚我們站在這里慶祝,但我們知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,那些勇敢的美國人正在那里。為了我們,他們醒來后面對的是一個有生命危險的世界。這些士兵的父母會在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠,他們擔(dān)憂的是如何償還月供,如何支付醫(yī)藥費,如何存夠今后孩子的大學(xué)費用。我們需要開發(fā)新能源,創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機會;修建新的學(xué)校;我們還要迎接挑戰(zhàn)和威脅,并修復(fù)與盟國的關(guān)系。
The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you: We as a people will get there.前方的道路還很漫長,任務(wù)很艱巨。一年之內(nèi),甚至一屆任期之內(nèi),我們可能都無法完成這些任務(wù)。但我從未像今晚這樣對美國滿懷希望,我相信我們會實現(xiàn)這個目標(biāo)。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅民族將實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)!
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(rèn)同我得某一項決定或政策。我們知道政府并不能解決所有問題,我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的困難。我會聆聽你們的意見,尤其是網(wǎng)址:寫入您公司的網(wǎng)址電話:寫入您公司電話
在我們意見不同的時候。最重要的是,我會請求你們一起參與重建這個國家。用自己的雙手,從一磚一瓦做起,這是美國立國221年以來的前進方式,也是惟一的方式。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It cannot happen without you.21個月前那個隆冬所開始的一切絕不應(yīng)在今天這個秋夜結(jié)束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選,這只是給變革提供了一個機會。假如我們?nèi)匀话凑宅F(xiàn)有方式行事,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.讓我們發(fā)揚新的愛國精神,樹立新的服務(wù)意識和責(zé)任感;讓我們每個人下定決心,更加努力地工作,彼此關(guān)愛;讓我們牢記這場金融危機帶來的教訓(xùn):不能允許商業(yè)街掙扎的同時卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個國家,我們屬于同一民族,我們患難與共。
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.黨派政治,瑣碎狹隘,不成熟,長期以來這些東西荼毒了我們的政治。讓我們牢記,當(dāng)來自伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的大旗扛進白宮時,伴隨著他的是自強自立、個人自由、國家統(tǒng)一的共和黨建黨理念。這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝,但我們態(tài)度謙卑,并決心彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧。
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends...Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.” And, to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.當(dāng)年,林肯面對的是一個比目前分歧更深更大的國家。他說:“我們不是敵人,而是朋友??雖然激情可能褪去,但是我們的感情紐帶不會割斷。”對于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人,我想說,雖然我沒有贏得你們的選票,但我聽到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。
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 網(wǎng)址:寫入您公司的網(wǎng)址電話:寫入您公司電話
arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.對于關(guān)注今夜結(jié)果的國際人士,不管他們是在國會、皇宮關(guān)注,還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺,我們的態(tài)度是:我們美國人的經(jīng)歷各有不同,但我們的命運相同,新的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。那些想要毀滅這個世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們,我們支持你們。那些懷疑美國這盞燈塔是否依然明亮的人們,今天晚上我們已再次證明:美國的真正力量來源并非軍事威力或財富規(guī)模,而是我們理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。
For that is the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.這才是美國真正的精髓--美國能夠變革。我們的聯(lián)邦會不斷完善。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就,將為我們將來能夠并且必須取得的成就增添了希望。
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(chuàng)造了多項“第一”,誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女:安妮?庫波爾。她和無數(shù)排隊等待投票的選民沒有什么差別,除了一點: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,黑奴制剛剛結(jié)束。那時路上沒有汽車,天上沒有飛機。當(dāng)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(jīng)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(xiàn)在這個年代。現(xiàn)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.婦女曾經(jīng)沒有發(fā)言權(quán),她們曾經(jīng)希望破滅。但安妮活到了今天,看到了婦女們站了起來,她們發(fā)表自己的見解,有了選舉權(quán)。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.上世紀(jì)三十年代,大蕭條橫掃美國大地,一片絕望。她看到了美國以新政、新的就業(yè)機會以及嶄新的共同追求戰(zhàn)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.網(wǎng)址:寫入您公司的網(wǎng)址電話:寫入您公司電話
二戰(zhàn)時期,炸彈降臨我們的海港上空,全世界受到獨裁專制的威脅,她見證了美國一代人的偉大崛起,他們拯救了民主。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.她看到了蒙哥馬利通了公共汽車、伯明翰接上了水管、塞爾馬建了橋。來自亞特蘭大的一位傳教士告訴人們:我們能!。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(xué)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(jīng)一路走來,我們已經(jīng)看到了那么多變化,但我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥=褚梗屛覀儐栕约哼@樣一個問題:假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個世紀(jì);假如我們的女兒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(xiàn)在,我們有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(yè),為我們的孩子打開機會的大門;恢復(fù)繁榮,促進和平;讓美國夢重放光芒,再證這一重要的真理,那就是:團結(jié)一致,眾志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲諷我們不能,懷疑我們能,那么我們就以這一永恒信條回應(yīng),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!愿主保佑你們,保佑美利堅合眾國。

第五篇:奧巴馬競選演講稿
奧巴馬競選演講mp3
我們感情上的聯(lián)系,奧巴馬競選演講稿。對于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人,我想說,或許我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,而且我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。
那些徹夜關(guān)注美國大選的海外人士,從國會到皇宮,以及在這個世界被遺忘的角落里擠在收音機旁的人們,我們的經(jīng)歷雖然各有不同,但是我們的命運是相通的,新的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。那些想要顛覆這個世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們,我們支持你們。那些所有懷疑美國能否繼續(xù)照亮世界發(fā)展前景的人們,今天晚上我們再次證明,我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財富的規(guī)模,而是來自我們理想的持久力量:***、自由、機會和不屈的希望。
這才是美國真正的精華---美國能夠改變。我們的聯(lián)邦會日臻完善。我們?nèi)〉玫某删蜑槲覀儗砟軌蛉〉玫囊约氨仨毴〉玫某删驮鎏砹讼M?/p>
這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項“第一”,也誕生了很多將世代流傳的故事。但是今天晚上令我難忘的卻是在亞特蘭大投票的一名婦女:安?尼克松?庫波爾(Ann Nixon Cooper)。她和其他數(shù)百萬排隊等待投票的選民沒有什么差別,除了一點:她已是106歲的高齡,演講稿《奧巴馬競選演講稿》。
她出生的那個時代奴隸制度剛剛結(jié)束;那時路上沒有汽車,天上也沒有飛機;當(dāng)時像她這樣的人由于兩個原因不能投票--一是她是女性,另一個原因是她的膚色。
今天晚上,我想到了她在美國過去一百年間所經(jīng)歷的種種:心痛和希望;掙扎和進步;那些我們被告知我們辦不到的世代,以及那些堅信美國信條---是的,我們能做到---的人們。
曾幾何時,婦女沒有發(fā)言權(quán),她們的希望化作泡影,但是安?尼克松?庫波爾活了下來,看到婦女們站了起來,看到她們大聲發(fā)表自己的見解,看到她們?nèi)⒓哟筮x投票。是的,我們能做到。
當(dāng)30年代的沙塵暴和大蕭條引發(fā)人們的絕望之情時,她看到一個國家用羅斯福新政、新就業(yè)機會以及對新目標(biāo)的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝恐慌。是的,我們能做到。
當(dāng)炸彈襲擊了我們的海港、獨裁專制威脅到全世界,她見證了美國一代人的偉大崛起,見證了一個***國家被拯救。是的,我們能做到。
她看到蒙哥馬利通了公共汽車、伯明翰接上了水管、塞爾馬建了橋,一位來自亞特蘭大的傳教士告訴人們:我們能成功。是的,我們能做到。
人類登上月球、柏林墻倒下,世界因我們的科學(xué)和想像被連接在一起。今年,就在這次選舉中,她用手指觸碰屏幕投下自己的選票,因為在美國生活了106年之后,經(jīng)歷了最好的時光和最黑暗的時刻之后,她知道美國如何能夠發(fā)生變革。是的,我們能做到。
美國,我們已經(jīng)走過漫漫長路。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。但是我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥R虼私褚梗屛覀冏詥?--如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀(jì);如果我們的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長,他們將會看到怎樣的改變?我們將會取得怎樣的進步?
現(xiàn)在是我們回答這個問題的機會。這是我們的時刻。這是我們的時代---讓我們的人民重新就業(yè),為我們的后代敞開機會的大門;恢復(fù)繁榮發(fā)展,推進和平事業(yè);讓“美國夢”重新煥發(fā)光芒,再次證明這樣一個基本的真理:我們是一家人;一息尚存,我們就有希望;當(dāng)我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑,當(dāng)有人說我們辦不到的時候,我們要以這個永恒的信條來回應(yīng)他們:是的,我們能做到。
感謝你們。上帝保佑你們。愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。
