奧巴馬演講稿

中文：

芝加哥的公民們，大家好！

如果現在仍然有人懷疑在美國是不是真的任何事情都可能發生，懷疑我們開國之父們的夢想是否還留存在這片土地上，懷疑美國民主的力量，今夜，就是你的答案。

在這個國家的學校和教堂中人們曾焦急地等待著答案，一些人甚至從未像今天一樣——等待了3～4個小時，但是他們知道這一時刻非同一般，他們的聲音也同樣非同一般。

在美國的土地上，無論是年輕人還是老人；窮人還是富人；無論是共和黨人還是民主黨人；無論是黑人、白人、西班牙裔、亞裔、美國原住民、同性戀、異性戀、殘疾人還是非殘疾人都發出同一種信息，我并非孤身一人。

我們是，而且永遠都是美利堅合眾國！

這一天我們等得太久了，但是今晚，因為我們在這場競選中、在這個地點、在此時此刻所做的一切，改變已經降臨美國。

在今天晚上，我很榮幸地接到了麥凱恩參議員打來的電話。麥凱恩參議員在這場競選中進行了長久、艱難的努力。而且，為這個他熱愛的國家，他奮斗了更久、付出了更多的努力。他為美國做出了超乎我們大多數人想象的犧牲，因為這個無畏無私的領導人所付出的努力，我們才有了更好的生活。我對他表示祝賀，也對佩林州長所取得的成果表示祝賀。同時，我也期待著能在接下來的幾個月內，和他們共同努力履行對這個國家的諾言。

我想感謝我在這個旅程中的搭檔，一個全心全意參加競選的男人，一個為同他一起在斯克藍頓(賓夕法尼亞東北部城市)街道長大、一起坐火車到特拉華州的人們發言的男人，美國未來的副總統，喬.拜登。

在過去的16年里如果沒有朋友們的支持和鼓勵，那么我今晚將不會站在這里……我的家庭的支持、關愛，美國的下一位第一夫人米歇爾.奧巴馬，還有薩沙和瑪麗雅，我對你們的愛甚至超出你們的想象，你們將得到新的小狗，和你們一起到新的白宮。

我卻再也不能陪伴我的外祖母了，但我知道她一直在守望著我們。我也十分想念我的家人和親戚，我知道自己虧欠他們太多，太多。我要感謝馬婭，阿爾瑪，以及我所有的兄弟姐妹，感謝你們對我無私的支持，對此我深表感激。還有，感謝我的競選經理大衛.普勞夫。還有那些在競選活動中的無名英雄們，他們表現的很棒，是他們給美國帶來了一場最完美的大選，我想，這在美國歷史上是絕無僅有的。還有我的首席戰略師大衛.阿克塞爾羅德。他是我的伙伴，在我競選的每個階段都給我極大的幫助，為我打造了美國大選史上最棒的競選團隊。是你讓這一切發生了，我將永遠對你為這一切做出的犧牲心存感激。但是最重要的，我將永遠無法忘記這場勝利真正的主人，這屬于你們，這屬于你們。

我曾經是最不可能贏得白宮的候選人。在剛開始的時候，我們沒有多少錢，也沒有多少支持者，我們的競選不是從華盛頓的大廳開始的，而是開始于艾奧瓦州得梅因的后院、康科德的客廳、查爾斯頓的前廳。是辛勤勞作的男人、女人捐給了我們他們微薄的積蓄，5塊錢、10塊錢、20塊錢。我們從年輕人那里得到了力量，他們拒絕服從同齡人冷漠的神話。為了工作，他們離開了自己的家鄉，并與親人分別，可是他們拿很少的報酬，甚至連睡覺的時間也少的可憐。

那些并不年輕的志愿者卻擁有一顆火熱的心，為了大選他們在寒風中敲開善良的陌生人家的門，這就是為什么兩個世紀以來，我們人類，我們的政府沒有從地球上消亡的原因。

我想說，這同樣也是你們的勝利！我知道，你們不僅僅是為了贏得一個大選，也不僅僅是為了我。

你們這樣做，是因為知道我們面前任務的艱難。即使我們今晚在這里歡慶，我們仍然知道明天將會帶來我們平生最大的挑戰——兩場戰爭，一個處于危險邊緣的星球、一個世紀來最嚴重的金融危機。

在孩子們熟睡后依然醒著的父親母親在擔心，他們怎樣才能還清醫生的賬單，攢夠足夠的錢供孩子的大學教育。

新的能源要去開發，新的工作崗位要去創造，新的學校要去建造，新的威脅要去面對，新的盟友關系要去修復。

前面的路會很長。我們的攀巖會很陡峭。我們甚至不會在一年、一個任期內達到這個目標。但是，美國，我從未比今夜更加相信，我們會達到這個目標。

我承諾，作為一個人，我們會達到這個目標。

以后我們還會面對挫折和謊言，我成為總統以后，也許有人無法認同我的每一項政策和方針。并且我們也知道政府并非能解決一切問題。但是我會忠誠地和你們并肩奮斗，共同面對挑戰。我依然會傾聽你們的聲音，尤其是我們之間存在分歧的時候。最重要的是，我會真誠地邀請你參與國家的重建，就像美國建國221年以來的歷史那樣——靠我們的雙手把國家建設地更為強大。

我們從21個月以前的冬天開始了奮斗的征程，但是我們的努力不會在這個秋天的夜晚結束。這次勝利并不會改變我們的探索之路，這對于我們來說是一個難得的機遇，我們決不能后退。我們不會退縮，因為我們擁有旺盛的精力和無畏犧牲的精神。

讓我們重振愛國主義精神，承擔起自己的責任，我們將努力奮斗，互幫互助。

讓我們牢記金融危機給美國帶來的傷痛，我們再也不會讓華爾街繁榮的同時，讓別的街受罪。

在這個國家里，我們與祖國的命運緊密相連。讓我們自覺抵制黨派爭端和過于污穢的政治斗爭。

讓我們牢記在這條街道上高舉共和黨旗幟入主白宮的那個人(林肯)，是他宣揚了獨立和自主的精神，完成了國家的統一。

這些價值觀應該得到繼承和發揚，今晚民主黨取得了勝利，我們必須保持謙虛的心態，并下定決心完成后面的征程。就像很久以前，林肯對一個比現在分裂得更嚴重的民族所說的那樣，我們不是敵人，是朋友。雖然熱情已經被沖淡，我們的友愛紐帶沒有破裂。

同時，對于我沒有贏得支持的民眾，我或許沒有得到你們的投票，但是我聽到了你們的聲音。我需要你們的幫助。我也會是你們的總統。

對于那些在另外一個海岸，從國會到王宮、到在被世界遺忘的角落擺弄收音機、關注美國今夜的人們，我們的故事并非只有一個，但是目標是共同的，美國領導力的新的黎明已經到來。

美國應該變化，我們的社會應該更完美。我們已經取得的成果給了我們明天取得更大成果的希望。

這次大選有很多首創和許多故事，這些故事將代代相傳。但今天晚上我腦子里能想起來的就是一個女人，她剛剛在亞特蘭大城投了票。她跟成千上萬在這次大選中排隊發出自己聲音的人一樣，唯有一點例外：安.尼克松.庫珀已經106歲高齡了。她出生在奴隸制剛剛廢除后的那一代，那時路上沒有汽車，天上沒有飛機。像她那樣的人仍不能投票，這因為兩個方面的原因：一是她是女性；二是因為她的膚色。

可今晚，我想她看透了一個世紀的美國——頭疼與希望；掙扎與發展。有人告訴我們，美國不行了，可美國人的自信卻回答：不，我們行！她曾經生活在女性發不出聲音、希望破滅的時代，可她卻活著看到女性們站起來，發出自己的聲音，并且投下自己的票。是的，我們行！

當饑餓來到，衰退發生時，她看到了這個國家是如何以新政，新工作，和全新的共同目標來戰勝恐懼的。當炸彈落到我們的港口，獨裁者威脅世界的時候，她親眼見證了一代人的崛起和民主得以挽救。是的，我們行！她去蒙哥馬利搭乘公共汽車，她去伯明翰面對水龍頭，她去塞爾瑪占橋……她聽來自亞特蘭大的牧師告訴大家：“我們能打破種族障礙”，沒錯，我們行！

今年，在這次大選中，她投下了自己的一票。因為在美國生活了106個年頭，經歷了最好的時光與最難的歲月，所以她知道美國一定能改變。是的，我們行！

美國已經經歷了太多，我們看夠了太多，但我們還得做更多的事。今晚，讓我們問自己：如果我們的孩子們要活著看到新世紀，如果我們的女兒們能像安.尼克松這樣活到106歲，我們應該有哪些進步？我們應該回答這個問題，這是我們的時代。

現在是我們一起開始工作，為我們的孩子打開機遇之門，恢復我們的繁榮，促進和平，重回美國夢，恢復基本信任，以及其它許多事的時候了。我們應該團結如一人。我們應該堅定地回應那些說我們不行的人，我們將以無窮的力量來回應他們，然后說：是的，我們行！

英文：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.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.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.We are, and always will be, the United States of America.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.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.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 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.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 nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.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.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.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.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 who's 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 you've 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 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.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.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 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 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.There's 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 won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president.And we know the 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 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.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 can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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?

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 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.Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.

第二篇：奧巴馬演講稿

Hi, everybody.On behalf of all the Obamas – Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo, and the newest member of our family, Sunny – I want to wish you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.We’ll be spending today just like many of you – sitting down with family and friends to eat some good food, tell some stories, watch a little football, and most importantly, count our blessings.And as Americans, we have so much to be thankful for.We give thanks for the men and women who(1)nearly four centuries ago, risking everything for the chance at a better life – and the people who were already here, our Native American brothers and sisters, for their generosity during that first Thanksgiving.We give thanks for(2)who followed – people of all races and religions, who arrived here from every country on Earth and worked to build something better for themselves and for us.We give thanks for all our men and women in uniform – and for their families, who are surely missing them very much today.We’re grateful for their sacrifice too.We give thanks for the freedoms(3)– the freedom to think what we want and say what we think, to worship according to our own beliefs, to choose our leaders and, yes, criticize them without punishment.People around the world are fighting and even dying for their chance at these freedoms.We stand with them in that struggle, and we give thanks for being free.And we give thanks to everyone who’s(4)to make the United States a better, more compassionate nation – who spend their Thanksgiving volunteering at a soup kitchen, or joining a service project, or bringing food and cheer to a lonely neighbor.That big-hearted generosity is a central part of our American character.We believe in lending a hand to folks who need it.We believe in pitching in to solve problems even if they aren’t our problems.And that’s not a one-day-a-year belief.It’s part of the fabric of our nation.And we remember that many Americans need that helping hand right now.Americans who’ve lost their jobs and can’t get a new one through no fault of their own.Americans who’ve been trapped in poverty and just need that helping hand to climb out.Citizens whose prayers and hopes move us to act.We are a people who are greater together than we are on our own.That’s what today is about.That’s what every day should be about.No matter our differences, we’re all part of one American family.We are each other’s keepers.We are one nation, under God.That core tenet of our American experience has guided us from the earliest days of our founding – and it will guide us to a future that’s even brighter than today.Thank you, God bless you, and from my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.1.set sail for this land2.the generations

第三篇：奧巴馬演講稿

Happy New Year, everybody.This week, /I traveled to Cleveland, Ohio, to talk with folks about /the biggest challenge we face as a country /rebuilding our economy so that, once again, hard work pays off, responsibility is rewarded, and anyone, regardless of who they are /or where they come from, can make it if they try.That’s the economy/America deserves.That’s the economy I’m fighting /every day to build.Now, to get there, the most important thing we need to do/ is get more Americans back to work.And over the past three years, we’ve made /steady progress.We just learned /that our economecession, we’ve added more than 3 million private sector jobs over the past 22 months.And we’re starting 2012 with manufacturing on the rise /and the American auto industry /on the mend.We’re heading in the rightdirection.And we’re not going to let up.On Wednesday the White HWe’ll hear from business leaders wh/follow their lead.Because this is a make or break moment for the middle class /and all those working to get there.We’ve got to keep at it.We’ve got to keep creating jobs.And we’ve got to keep rebuilding our economy /so that everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share / and everyone plays by the same rules.We can’t go back to the days when/ the financial system was stacking the deck against ordinary Americans.To me, that’s not an option.Not after all we’ve been through.That’snation’s new consumer watchdog this week.Richard’s job is simple: to look out for you.Every day, his sole mission is to protect consumers from potential abuses /by the financial industry and to make sure that you’ve got all the transparent information /you need to make the important financial decisions in your lives.I nominated Richard/ for this job last summer.And yet, Republicans in the Senate kept blocking his confirmation not because they objected to him, but because they wanted to weaken his agency.That made no sense.Every day we waited /was a day you and consumers all across the country were at greater financial risk.So this year, I’m going to keep doing whatever it takes to move this economy forward and to make sure that middle class families regain the security they’ve lost over the past decade.That’s my New Year’s resolution to all of you.Thank you, and have a great weekend.

第四篇：奧巴馬演講稿

我衷心感謝艾奧瓦的公民們。

眾所周知，有人說這一天永遠不會到來。

有人說我們好高騖遠。

有人說人民異見紛呈，悲觀失望，不可能再為了一個共同的目標而眾志成城。

但在這個一月的夜晚，在這個書寫歷史的時刻，你們做到了那些憤世嫉俗的人斷言我們做不到的事。五天后新罕布什爾州的選民也將完成你們的壯舉。在剛剛來到的 2008年，美國人民也會完成同樣的壯舉。在學校和教堂，在小市鎮和大城市，你們——民主黨人、共和黨人、無黨派人士——熙熙攘攘地走到一起，自豪地宣稱：我們是一個國家，我們是一個民族;變革的時刻已經到來。你們還說，華盛頓被冷酷、萎縮和憤怒所淹沒，現在是超越這種政治手段、以相加替代分割的時刻，是在紅州和藍州建立變革聯盟的時刻。這是因為我們將以此在11月取勝，我們也將以此面對我們國家面臨的挑戰。

我們選擇希望，拋棄恐懼;我們選擇聯合，拒絕分裂;我們向美利堅高聲宣布變革就在眼前。

你們宣布，政治說客自以為他們的財富和影響力比公眾輿論的威力更大，但是他們并不擁有這個政府。政府是我們的，我們正在把它收回。

人民此刻需要這樣一位總統：他能誠實面對機遇和挑戰;即使跟人民見解不同也會傾聽和了解他們的想法;他不僅要說人民愿意聽到的話，更要提供人民需要知道的信息。如果新罕布什爾也給我今晚艾奧瓦給我的機會，我將會是這樣一位總統。

感謝你們。

我會是這樣一位總統：讓每個人都能看上病和看得起病。我在伊利諾斯州就通過民主黨人和共和黨人的攜手合作實現了這一目標。

我會是這樣一位總統：終止所有把工作運往海外的公司的稅收優惠政策，并給美國最值得享受減稅的中產階級減稅。

我會是這樣一位總統：讓農場主、科學家和企業家發揮他們的創造力，使我們國家一勞永逸地擺脫石油的主宰。

最后，我會是這樣一位總統：我要結束伊拉克戰爭并讓我們的士兵回家;我要恢復我們的道德地位;我知道9/11不是騙取選票的借口，而是使美國和世界聯合起來應對21世紀這個世界面臨的共同威脅：恐怖主義和核擴散，全球變暖和貧困，種族屠殺和疾病。

今晚，因為艾奧瓦公民的選擇，我們距離那樣的美國藍圖又近了一步。在此，我特別想感謝選舉的組織者和各個投票站的站長、志愿者和我的競選團隊的工作人員。沒有你們就沒有今晚的勝利。

當我站在這里表達謝意時，我想有必要感謝我的至愛，奧巴馬家庭的堅實后盾，競選旅途的殿后者，米歇爾·奧巴馬。

我明白你們不是為了我才這樣做的。你們這樣做，你們這樣做，是因為你們堅信一個美國信念，那就是，無論條件多么艱難困苦，相信這個國家的人是可以改變它的。

我明白這一點，我明白這一點，是因為雖然我此刻站在這里，我永遠也不會忘記我的行程從芝加哥的街頭開始。我曾經作過你們為我的競選和艾奧瓦所有的競選作過的一切：組織，工作，為了讓人民的生活能夠得到一點點改善而奮斗。

我知道這樣的工作的艱辛，睡眠不足，薪酬低微，大量的自我犧牲，失望常常伴隨著我們。但是偶爾，僅僅是偶爾，也會有象今晚這樣的時刻，在這樣一個夜晚，這樣一個我們數年后想起來會自豪地說那個更好的美國就是從那個時刻開始的夜晚。在這樣的美國，我們實現了我們堅信不移的變革：更多的家庭看得起病;我們的孩子，我的女兒瑪利亞和薩沙和你們的孩子會生活在一個更干凈和更安全的星球上;世界將以不同的眼光來看待美國，而美國將把自己看作一個更少歧見、更多團結的國家。

這一刻是勇往直前的人擊敗了華盛頓總是說戰無不勝的人的時刻。

這一刻是我們拆除長久分裂我們的藩籬，讓不同黨派和不同年齡的人們為了一個共同的目的聯合起來，并給那些從不過問政治的人們一個關心政治的理由的一刻。

這一刻是我們終于擊退恐懼、疑慮和犬儒主義政治的一刻，是我們用國家攜手向上替代政客相互踐踏的政治的一刻。這是我們期待的那一刻。

數年后，遙想往事，你們也許會說，就是這一刻，在這個地方——美國人民記起希望究竟意味這什么。

幾個月以來，我們因為談論希望而遭到挖苦，甚至嘲弄。

但我們一直認為，希望不是盲目的樂觀主義。希望不是忽視未來的艱巨任務或橫亙在我們前行道路上的障礙。希望不是置身事外或從拼斗中退縮。希望是我們心中堅守一種東西：它告訴我們，不管遭遇多少艱難險阻，只要有勇氣去爭取，只要愿意付出努力和艱辛，更好的東西就會等待我們。

我在一個來自樟泉(Cedar Rapids)的年輕女士的眼中看到了希望：她白天全天在大學上課，晚上加夜班，但卻仍然不能負擔生病的妹妹的醫療費;但她仍相信這個國家會提供她實現夢想的機會。

我從一個來自新罕布什爾州的婦女的聲音中聽到了希望：她告訴我自從她的侄兒奔赴伊拉克戰場她就一直感到氣短;但是她每晚睡覺前都要為侄子的安全回歸祈禱。

希望引領一群殖民者揭竿而起反對一個帝國;希望引領我們偉大的祖先解放了一個大陸，復活了一個民族;希望引領青年男女為了自由圍坐在(不向黑人提供服務)的餐桌旁，引領他們勇敢地面對高壓水龍，穿越(阿拉巴馬州的)塞爾瑪和蒙哥馬利。

希望，希望引領我今天來到這里，——我的父親來自肯尼亞，母親來自堪薩斯，這樣的故事只可能發生在美利堅合眾國。希望是美利堅民族的基石，希望是我們執著的信仰：我們的命運不是被人寫就，而是要由我們自己寫就，由那些不愿意勉強接受這個世界并信心百倍地按照它應該變成的藍圖去改造它的男男女女們寫就。

這就是我們從艾奧瓦開始的開拓，這也是我們要向新罕布什爾州和其他州傳達的信息。我們順利的時候沒有忘記它，失利的時候也沒有忘記它。這個信息可以幫助我們一塊磚一塊磚地、一條街道一條街道地、一只接一只布滿老繭的手地去改變這個國家。團結起來，普通人也能鑄就宏圖偉業，因為我們不是紅色的州或藍色的州的組合，我們是美利堅合眾州。

在此刻，在這次選舉中，我們樂于再次相信。謝謝，艾奧瓦。

第五篇：奧巴馬演講稿

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.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.芝加哥，你好！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。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。

記錄：當句子里出現不熟悉的單詞和句子過長時，不懂該如何調整順序，也不明白該在哪里短句。習慣性用中文的思維一譯到底，邏輯混亂。一方面是因為語法的基礎不扎實，一方面是自己的中英文思維轉換不夠流暢，缺乏這方面的訓練。希望下次能有進步。
