第一篇：奧巴馬獲勝演講中英文互譯

Hello,chicago!芝加哥的公民們，大家好！

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果還有人對美國是否凡事都有可能存疑，還有人懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們所處的時代是否依然鮮活，還有人質疑我們的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，這些問題都有了答案。

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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.是設在學校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未見的長隊給出的答案；是等了三四個小時的選民所給出的答案，其中許多人都是有生以來第一次投票，因為他們認定這一次肯定會不一樣，認為自己的聲音會是這次大選有別于以往之所在。

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.這是所有美國人民共同給出的答案－－無論老少貧富，無論是民主黨還是共和黨，無論是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亞裔、原住民，是同性戀者還是異性戀者、殘疾人還是健全人－－我們從來不是“紅州”和“藍州”的對立陣營，我們是美利堅合眾國這個整體，永遠都是。

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.長久以來，很多人一再受到告誡，要對我們所能取得的成績極盡諷刺、擔憂和懷疑之能事，但這個答案讓這些人伸出手來把握歷史，再次讓它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

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.已經過去了這么長時間，但今晚，由于我們在今天、在這場大選中、在這個具有決定性的時刻所做的，美國已經迎來了變革。

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.我剛剛接到了麥凱恩參議員極具風度的致電。他在這場大選中經過了長時間的努力奮斗，而他為自己所深愛的這個國家奮斗的時間更長、過程更艱辛。他為美國做出了我們大多數人難以想像的犧牲，我們的生活也因這位勇敢無私的領袖所做出的貢獻而變得更美好。我向他和佩林州長所取得的成績表示祝賀，我也期待著與他們一起在未來的歲月中為復興這個國家的希望而共同努力。

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 the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.我要感謝我在這次旅程中的伙伴－－已當選美國副總統的拜登。他全心參與競選活動，為普通民眾代言，他們是他在斯克蘭頓從小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉華的火車上遇到的男男女女。

And I would not bestanding 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.如果沒有一個人的堅決支持，我今晚就不會站在這里，她是我過去16年來最好的朋友、是我們一家人的中堅和我一生的摯愛，更是我們國家的下一位第一夫人：米歇爾?奧巴馬(Michelle Obama)。薩莎(Sasha)和瑪麗亞(Malia)，我太愛你們兩個了，你們已經得到了一條新的小狗，它將與我們一起入駐白宮。雖然我的外祖母已經不在了，但我知道她與我的親人肯定都在看著我，因為他們，我才能擁有今天的成就。今晚，我想念他們，我知道自己欠他們的無可計量。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.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.我的競選經理大衛?普勞夫(David Plouffe)、首席策略師大衛?艾克斯羅德(David Axelrod)以及政治史上最好的競選團隊－－是你們成就了今天，我永遠感激你們為實現今天的成就所做出的犧牲。

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真正的歸屬－－它屬于你們。

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.我從來不是最有希望的候選人。一開始，我們沒有太多資金，也沒有得到太多人的支持。我們的競選活動并非誕生于華盛頓的高門華第之內，而是始于得梅因、康科德、查爾斯頓這些地方的普通民眾家中。

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.我們的競選活動能有今天的規模，是因為辛勤工作的人們從自己的微薄積蓄中拿出錢來，捐出一筆又一筆5美元、10美元、20美元。而競選活動的聲勢越來越大則是源自那些年輕人，他們拒絕接受認為他們這代人冷漠的荒誕說法；他們離開家、離開親人，從事報酬微薄、極其辛苦的工作；同時也源自那些已經不算年輕的人們，他們冒著嚴寒酷暑，敲開陌生人的家門進行競選宣傳；更源自數百萬的美國民眾，他們自動自發地組織起來，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。

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.我知道你們的所做所為并不只是為了贏得大選，我也知道你們做這一切并不是為了我。你們這樣做是因為你們明白擺在面前的任務有多艱巨。因為即便我們今晚歡呼慶祝，我們也知道明天將面臨我們一生之中最為艱巨的挑戰－－兩場戰爭、一個面臨危險的星球，還有百年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.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 今晚站在此地，我們知道伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中還有勇敢的美國士兵醒來，甘冒生命危險保護著我們。會有在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠的父母，擔心如何償還按揭月供、付醫藥費或是存夠錢送孩子上大學。我們亟待開發新能源、創造新的工作機會；我們需要修建新學校，還要應對眾多威脅、修復與許多國家的關系。

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.I promise you, we as a people will get there.前方的道路會十分漫長艱辛。我們可能無法在一年甚至一屆任期之內實現上述目標，但我從未像今晚這樣滿懷希望，相信我們會實現。我向你們承諾－－我們作為一個整體將會達成目標。

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.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.我們會遭遇挫折和不成功的開端。對于我作為總統所做的每項決定和政策，會有許多人持有異議，我們也知道政府并不能解決所有問題。但我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰。我會聆聽你們的意見，尤其是在我們意見相左之時。最重要的是，我會請求你們參與重建這個國家，以美國221年來從未改變的唯一方式－－一磚一瓦、胼手胝足。

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 wi thout you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.21個月前那個寒冬所開始的一切不應該在今天這個秋夜結束。今天的選舉勝利并不是我們所尋求的改變－－這只是我們進行改變的機會。而且如果我們仍然按照舊有方式行事，我們所尋求的改變不可能出現。沒有你們，沒有你們，沒有你們自我犧牲和服務的新精神，不可能有這種改變。

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.因此，讓我們發揚新的愛國精神，樹立新的服務意識和責任感，讓我們每個人下定決心全情投入、更加努力地工作，并彼此關愛。讓我們銘記這場金融危機帶來的教訓：我們不可能在金融以外的領域備受煎熬的同時擁有繁榮興旺的華爾街－－在這個國家，我們患難與共。

Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.讓我們抵制重走老路的誘惑，避免重新回到令美國政治長期深受毒害的黨派紛爭和由此引發的遺憾和不成熟表現。

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.讓我們牢記，正是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的大旗扛到了白宮。共和黨是建立在自強自立、個人自由以及全民團結的價值觀上，這也是我們所有人都珍視的價值。

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.雖然民主黨今天晚上贏得了巨大的勝利，但我們是以謙卑的態度和彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧的決心贏得這場勝利的。

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.林肯在向遠比我們眼下分歧更大的國家發表講話時說，我們不是敵人，而是朋友……雖然激情可能褪去，但是這不會割斷我們感情上的聯系。對于那些現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。

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.那些徹夜關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，我們的經歷雖然各有不同，但是我們的命運是相通的，新的美國領袖誕生了。

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.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照亮世界發展前景的人們，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模，而是來自我們理想的持久力量：民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。

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.這才是美國真正的精華－－美國能夠改變。我們的聯邦會日臻完善。我們取得的成就為我們將來能夠取得的以及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'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.這次大選創造了多項“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。

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.她出生的那個時代奴隸制度剛剛結束；那時路上沒有汽車，天上也沒有飛機；當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。

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，我想到了她在美國過去一百年間所經歷的種種：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。

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.曾幾何時，婦女沒有發言權，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，看到她們大聲發表自己的見解，看到她們去參加大選投票。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30年代的沙塵暴和大蕭條引發人們的絕望之情時，她看到一個國家用羅斯福新政、新就業機會以及對新目標的共同追求戰勝恐慌。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，見證了一個民主國家被拯救。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.她見證了蒙哥馬利公車上的種族隔離、伯明翰的民權運動、塞爾馬大橋上的人權游行，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。

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.人類登上月球、柏林墻倒下，世界因我們的科學和想像被連接在一起。

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.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生變革。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，我們已經走過漫漫長路。我們已經歷了很多。但是我們仍有很多事情要做。因此今夜，讓我們自問－－如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀；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？

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.現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，為我們的后代敞開機會的大門；恢復繁榮發展，推進和平事業；讓“美國夢”重新煥發光芒，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；當我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑，當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他們：

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

Transcript of President Obama’s Victory Speech

November 7, 2012

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Thank you.Thank you.Thank you so much.(Sustained cheers, applause.)

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.(Cheers, applause.)

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.(Cheers, applause.)

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.(Cheers, applause.)

I want to thank every American who participated in this election.(Cheers, applause.)Whether you voted for the very first time —(cheers)— or waited in line for a very long time —(cheers)— by the way, we have to fix that.(Cheers, applause.)Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone —(cheers, applause)— whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.(Cheers, applause.)

I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.(Cheers, applause.)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 a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.(Cheers, applause.)In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.(Cheers, applause.)

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.(Cheers, applause.)

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

To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics —(cheers, applause)— the best — the best ever —(cheers, applause)— some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.(Cheers, applause.)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.(Cheers, applause.)And you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.Thank you for believing all the way —(cheers, applause)— to every hill, to every valley.(Cheers, applause.)You lifted me up the whole day, and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in.(Cheers, applause.)

I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests.But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym or — or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else.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.(Cheers, applause.)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.(Cheers, applause.)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.(Cheers, applause.)

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.That won’t change after tonight.And it shouldn’t.These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty, and 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 —(cheers, applause)— the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future.We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers —(cheers, applause)— a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation —(scattered cheers, applause)— with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow.We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened up by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.(Cheers, applause.)We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this — this world has ever known —(cheers, applause)— but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.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 —(cheers, applause)— to the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner —(cheers, applause)— 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 —(cheers, applause)— that’s the future we hope for.(Cheers, applause.)That’s the vision we share.That’s where we need to go — forward.(Cheers, applause.)That’s where we need to go.(Cheers, applause.)Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there.As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts.It’s not always a straight line.It’s not always a smooth path.By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won’t end all the gridlock, resolve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward.But that common bond is where we must begin.Our economy is recovering.A decade of war is ending.(Cheers, applause.)A long campaign is now over.(Cheers, applause.)And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you.I have learned from you.And you’ve made me a better president.And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.(Cheers, applause.)Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.(Cheers, applause.)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 out tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We’ve got more work to do.(Cheers, applause.)

But that doesn’t mean your work is done.The role of citizens 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.(Cheers, applause.)That’s the principle we were founded on.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.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth, the belief that our destiny is shared —(cheers, applause)— that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that 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.(Cheers, applause.)

I am hopeful tonight because I have seen this spirit at work in America.I’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job.I’ve seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.(Cheers, applause.)I’ve seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.(Cheers, applause.)

And I saw it just the other day in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care.(Cheers, applause.)I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his.And when he spoke to the crowd, listening to that father’s story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own.And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright.That’s who we are.That’s the country I’m so proud to lead as your president.(Cheers, applause.)And tonight, despite all the hardship we’ve been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I’ve never been more hopeful about our future.(Cheers, applause.)I have never been more hopeful about America.And I ask you to sustain that hope.AUDIENCE MEMBER: We got your back, Mr.President!

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I’m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path.I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.(Cheers, applause.)

America, I believe we can build on the progress we’ve made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunities and new security for the middle class.I believe we can keep the promise of our founding, the idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love(ph).It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight.(Cheers, applause.)You can make it here in America if you’re willing to try.(Cheers, applause.)

I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests.We’re not as cynical as the pundits believe.We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states.We are, and forever will be, the United States of America.(Cheers, applause.)

And together, with your help and God’s grace, we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth.(Cheers, applause.)Thank you, America.(Cheers, applause.)God bless you.God bless these United States.(Cheers, applause.)

謝謝，謝謝，非常感謝。

兩百多年前，人民在這塊曾經的殖民地上贏得了自己的命運；今夜，我們向實現完美聯邦的目標又邁近了一步。

這一步，是因為你們；這一步，是因為你們證明了克服戰爭和蕭條的那種精神仍在，那份把我們國家從絕望的深淵帶向希望之巔的精神。我們每個人都可以追逐自己的夢想。美國同胞血濃于水，作為一個國家和民族，我們共起落、同榮辱。

今晚，在這次選舉中，你們，美國人民們，提醒了我們：盡管路程艱辛，歷程漫長，我們仍能振作精神，奮起反擊。我們心中堅信，美利堅的每天更加美好。我想感謝每一位親身參與大選的美國人。無論這是你的第一次投票，又或是在隊伍中等待了很久。順便說一句，排隊這個問題真是亟待解決。無論你是步行前往，還是拿起電話；無論你舉的牌子上，寫的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼… 你的聲音都會被聽到，你也一樣帶來了改變。我剛剛和羅姆尼州長通了話，向他和保羅·瑞安，就這場艱難的戰役，表示了我的祝賀。雙方的選戰之所以慘烈，正是因為我們都如此深愛這個國家，如此關心它的未來。從喬治到蘭諾夫婦，再到他們的兒子米特，羅姆尼一家選擇通過獻身公務來報效國家。今晚，我們向這一份寶貴的政治遺產致以我們的敬意和掌聲。在未來的幾個星期，我還希望能和羅姆尼州長坐下來，討論在哪些方面，我們可以共同努力，推動這個國家向前。我想謝謝我的朋友，我過去四年的搭檔，美國的快樂戰士—喬·拜登。能有他做副總統。夫復何求。

另外，假如沒有那位20年前同意嫁給我的女人，我今天也不可能站在這里。讓我告訴所有人吧：米歇爾，我對你的愛，是如此深切。

我目睹著我之外的美國人都愛上了你，作為第一夫人的你，我對你的驕傲，也是如此深切。薩莎和瑪利亞(奧巴馬的兩個女兒)，就在我們的注視下，你們已經成長為兩位堅強、智慧、美麗的年輕女士，就像你們的媽媽一樣。我真得為你們驕傲。不過我還是要說，一條狗應該已經夠了。

至政治史上最好的競選團隊和志愿者們：你們是最好的，最最好的。你們中有些人是新鮮加入，有些人從一開始就與我們共同進退，但你們都是我的家人。無論你在做什么，以后要做什么，你們都能帶上這段我們共同創造的歷史，以及這位感恩的總統對你們一生的感激。謝謝你們的一路堅信，陪我翻過每座丘嶺，穿越每座山谷。一路走來，多虧你們的輔佑。我會永遠為你們所付出的一切和所有卓越之至的工作而心懷感激。

我知道有時候政治競選看起來渺小，甚至愚蠢，這為憤世嫉俗者們提供了很多素材。他們告訴我們，政治不過是為特殊利益集團服務的猴戲。但如果你曾經同參加過我們的集會的普通人，或是在高中體育館圍線外排隊的人們交談過；或是看到在遠離家鄉的小郡縣競選辦公室里工作到很晚的人們，你一定會有新的認識。

你會在一位半工半讀的年輕活動現場組織者聲音中，聽到無比的堅定。他想讓每個孩子都能有均等的機會；

你會在一名志愿者聲音中，聽到他的自豪。她挨家挨戶的告訴每一個人，她的哥哥終于有了工作，因為當地的汽車公司增加了一個輪班； 你會在一位軍嫂聲音中聽到她的愛國主義情懷。她深夜也不放下電話是為了要讓每一位保家衛國的戰士，都不用在回家后，卻為一份工作、一片屋檐，苦苦求而不得。

這就是我們做這些的原因。政治也可以說這樣的。這就是為什么，選舉是重要的。它并不渺小，它是件大事，很重要的大事。

在有三億人口的國家中，民主會顯得喧嘩、混亂、復雜。我們有自己的觀點，每個人都有自己堅定的信仰。當面對困難的時期，當我們的國家需要作出重大的決定時，它必然會激發熱情，也掀起爭議。這些在今晚之后都不會改變，也不應該被改變。這些爭論是我們自由的印記。

我們永遠不能忘記，就在此時此刻，在一些遙遠的國家，人民正在冒著生命的危險，只為了能有討論那些重要話題的機會，為了能有像我們今天這樣投出自己一票的機會。

盡管我們有不同，我們中的大多數，對美國的未來懷有一樣的希望。我們希望自己的孩子成長在這樣一個國家：他們能去到最好的學校，有最好的老師；它不會辜負前人留下的遺產，繼續成為全球科技、探索、創新的領導者，有好的工作、新的產業隨之而來；我們希望自己孩子成長的美國，不會被債務負累，不會因不平等而有所削弱，也不會被地球變暖而帶來的危害所威脅。

我們想要傳承的，是一個安全并受全球尊敬與愛戴的國家。

我們想要傳承的，是一個由世界最強軍事力量保衛，擁有最好的軍隊的國家。同時，也是一個自信前行的國家——走出戰爭的陰霾，塑造和平景象，保障每個人的自由與尊嚴。

我們相信美國是一個慷慨大度的國家，一個悲天憫人的國家，更是一個海納百川的國家。我們要接納在我國學校學習并對我們的國旗宣誓，滿懷夢想的移民；要接納身處芝加哥南部市井之中卻能志存高遠的男孩；還要接納北卡州家具工人的孩子，他們夢想著成為醫生、科學家、工程師、企業家、外交官，甚至是總統。那正是我們所期望的未來，是我們共有的愿景，是我們需要“前進”的方向，那是我們的目標。對于如何實現這一目標，我們可能會意見相左，有時分歧甚大，兩個多世紀以來，一直如此。我們總會斷斷續續地取得進步，前行的路線總有曲折，不會一直是平坦通途。認識到我們擁有共同的希望與夢想，單靠這一點無法終結所有的政治僵局，或解決我們所有問題。建立共識，作出推動這個國家向前所必要的艱難妥協，這些艱辛的工作也無法得以替代。但我們必須以這一共同紐帶為起點。

我們的經濟正在復蘇，為期十年的戰爭已近尾聲，一場漫長的競選現已結束。

無論我是否贏得了你的選票，我都傾聽了你的呼聲，從你身上得到了教益，你使我成長為更優秀的總統。

帶著你們的故事與掙扎，我回到白宮時，對面臨的任務與未來，更為堅定，更有激情。今晚，你們投票換來的將會是積極的行動，而不是以往那樣的政治游戲。你們選擇了我們，是讓我們關注你們的就業，而非我們自己的官位。

在接下來的數周、數月中，我期待著與兩黨領袖進行接觸與合作，共同應對我們必須攜手攻克的難關，降低赤字、改革稅法、完善移民體系、擺脫對進口石油的依賴…我們還有更多的工作要完成，但這并不意味著你們的任務已經結束。公民在我們的民主體系中所扮演的角色，并不止于投票。

美利堅的意義，并不在于別人能為我們做什么，而是在于我們能一起做什么，而這依靠的就是公民自治。這雖然困難而又往往令人灰心，卻是不可或缺的。這是我們的建國理念。我們國家的財富多于其他任何國家，可我們的富有并不源于此。我們有史上最強的軍事力量，可這并不是我們力量的源頭。

我們的大學，我們的文化，為全世界所欽羨，可這并非吸引各國人民前來我國的根源。美國的卓爾不群之根源在于，將全球最為多元化的國家團結起來的紐帶，在于信奉我們的命運緊密相連。信奉只有當我們對彼此，對下幾代人負起一定責任，我們國家才有希望。美國的卓爾不群之根源，在于無數美國人為之奮斗與獻身的自由，這自由背后，既有義務又有權利，其中就包括仁愛、慈善、責任和愛國。美國的偉大，就是靠這些精神鑄就而成的。我今晚充滿希望，因為我目睹了美國上下洋溢著的精神： 在寧愿扣自己薪水，也不愿裁掉鄰里員工的家族企業中； 在寧愿自己少干些，也不愿讓朋友失業的工人們身上； 在手腳傷殘，卻仍延長服役年限的士兵身上；

在海軍陸戰隊員身上，他們無畏地沖上樓梯，沖進黑暗與危險，只因心知有人會照顧他們。在新澤西與紐約的海岸上也可以見到，各黨領袖、各級政府撇開分歧，共同幫助一個社區重建被可怕的風暴摧毀的家園。

前些天，我在俄亥俄州的曼圖爾市見到了一位父親，他跟我講了他8歲女兒的故事。女兒與白血病的斗爭差點使他們傾家蕩產，幸好醫保改革在保險公司停止支付，其醫療費用前數月得以通過。我不僅與這位父親進行了交談，也遇到了他堅強的女兒。當她向聽眾發言時，在場的每一位父母都眼含熱淚。因為我們知道，這個小女孩的遭遇也可能發生在我們的孩子身上。

我知道每一位美國同胞，都希望她有同樣光明的未來。這就是我們，這就是我非常自豪地以總統身份領導的國家。

今晚，縱有我們所經歷的磨難，縱有華盛頓諸般挫折，我從未對我們的未來如此充滿希望，我從未對美利堅如此充滿希望。

我請求你們，保持這份希望。我不是指盲目樂觀，無視眼前艱巨任務與障礙的那種希望，我也不是指讓我們袖手旁觀或逃避斗爭的那種一廂情愿的理想主義。我一直認為，希望是我們心中頑強不屈的那樣東西。

雖有各種不利證據，卻仍堅持有更好的未來等待著我們。只要我們有勇氣去不斷爭取、不斷努力、不斷奮斗。

美利堅，我相信，我們能百尺竿頭更進一步，繼續奮斗，為中產階級創造就業、創造機會、創造保障。

我相信，我們能繼續履行國父們的承諾——只要你踏實肯干，你是誰，從哪兒來，什么種族，愛哪里，都不重要。無論你是黑人、白人、西班牙裔、亞裔，還是印第安居民，無論你年輕與否、富有與否、健全與否、性向如何，你都能在美國有所成就，只要你愿意努力。我相信，我們可以共同把握這一未來。因為有別于政壇所表現的，我們其實并沒有那么分裂，我們并不像評論員們所認為的那樣憤世嫉俗。

我們的偉大，勝于我們個人野心的總和，我們不僅僅是紅藍州的集合。我們現在是，也將永遠是，美利堅合眾國。在你們的幫助下和上帝的眷顧下，我們將繼續前進，向全世界昭示，我們為何居于地球上最偉大的國家。感謝你們，美利堅的人民們！上帝保佑你們！上帝保佑美國！

第三篇：奧巴馬獲勝演講全文(中英文對照)

奧巴馬獲勝演講全文

President-elect Barack Obama smiles as he gives his acceptance speech at Grant Park in Chicago Tuesday night, Nov.4, 2008.以下是奧巴馬(Barack Obama)競選總統成功后在芝加哥演講準備的講稿: 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.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.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.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.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.I just received a very gracious call from Senator 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 Governor Palin for all they have 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 that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen 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.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.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – 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 five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy;who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep;from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth.This is your victory.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.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.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 two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.What began twenty-one 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.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.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.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.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 our 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.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.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.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 colour 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 and a new sense of common purpose.Yes we can.When the bombs fell on our harbour 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 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.Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.如果還有人對美國是否凡事都有可能存疑，還有人懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們所處的時代是否依然鮮活，還有人質疑我們的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，這些問題都有了答案。

這是設在學校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未見的長隊給出的答案；是等了三四個小時的選民所給出的答案，其中許多人都是有生以來第一次投票，因為他們認定這一次肯定會不一樣，認為自己的聲音會是這次大選有別于以往之所在。

這是所有美國人民共同給出的答案－－無論老少貧富，無論是民主黨還是共和黨，無論是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亞裔、原住民，是同性戀者還是異性戀者、殘疾人還是健全人－－我們從來不是“紅州”和“藍州”的對立陣營，我們是美利堅合眾國這個整體，永遠都是。

長久以來，很多人一再受到告誡，要對我們所能取得的成績極盡諷刺、擔憂和懷疑之能事，但這個答案讓這些人伸出手來把握歷史，再次讓它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

已經過去了這么長時間，但今晚，由于我們在今天、在這場大選中、在這個具有決定性的時刻所做的，美國已經迎來了變革。

我剛剛接到了麥凱恩參議員極具風度的致電。他在這場大選中經過了長時間的努力奮斗，而他為自己所深愛的這個國家奮斗的時間更長、過程更艱辛。他為美國做出了我們大多數人難以想像的犧牲，我們的生活也因這位勇敢無私的領袖所做出的貢獻而變得更美好。我向他和佩林州長所取得的成績表示祝賀，我也期待著與他們一起在未來的歲月中為復興這個國家的希望而共同努力。

我要感謝我在這次旅程中的伙伴－－已當選美國副總統的拜登。他全心參與競選活動，為普通民眾代言，他們是他在斯克蘭頓從小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉華的火車上遇到的男男女女。

如果沒有一個人的堅決支持，我今晚就不會站在這里，她是我過去16年來最好的朋友、是我們一家人的中堅和我一生的摯愛，更是我們國家的下一位第一夫人：米歇爾?奧巴馬(Michelle Obama)。薩莎(Sasha)和瑪麗亞(Malia)，我太愛你們兩個了，你們已經得到了一條新的小狗，它將與我們一起入駐白宮。雖然我的外祖母已經不在了，但我知道她與我的親人肯定都在看著我，因為他們，我才能擁有今天的成就。今晚，我想念他們，我知道自己欠他們的無可計量。

我的競選經理大衛?普勞夫(David Plouffe)、首席策略師大衛?艾克斯羅德(David Axelrod)以及政治史上最好的競選團隊－－是你們成就了今天，我永遠感激你們為實現今天的成就所做出的犧牲。

但最重要的是，我永遠不會忘記這場勝利真正的歸屬－－它屬于你們。

我從來不是最有希望的候選人。一開始，我們沒有太多資金，也沒有得到太多人的支持。我們的競選活動并非誕生于華盛頓的高門華第之內，而是始于得梅因、康科德、查爾斯頓這些地方的普通民眾家中。

我們的競選活動能有今天的規模，是因為辛勤工作的人們從自己的微薄積蓄中拿出錢來，捐出一筆又一筆5美元、10美元、20美元。而競選活動的聲勢越來越大則是源自那些年輕人，他們拒絕接受認為他們這代人冷漠的荒誕說法；他們離開家、離開親人，從事報酬微薄、極其辛苦的工作；同時也源自那些已經不算年輕的人們，他們冒著嚴寒酷暑，敲開陌生人的家門進行競選宣傳；更源自數百萬的美國民眾，他們自動自發地組織起來，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。

我知道你們的所做所為并不只是為了贏得大選，我也知道你們做這一切并不是為了我。你們這樣做是因為你們明白擺在面前的任務有多艱巨。因為即便我們今晚歡呼慶祝，我們也知道明天將面臨我們一生之中最為艱巨的挑戰－－兩場戰爭、一個面臨危險的星球，還有百年來最嚴重的金融危機。今晚站在此地，我們知道伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中還有勇敢的美國士兵醒來，甘冒生命危險保護著我們。會有在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠的父母，擔心如何償還按揭月供、付醫藥費或是存夠錢送孩子上大學。我們亟待開發新能源、創造新的工作機會；我們需要修建新學校，還要應對眾多威脅、修復與許多國家的關系。

前方的道路會十分漫長艱辛。我們可能無法在一年甚至一屆任期之內實現上述目標，但我從未像今晚這樣滿懷希望，相信我們會實現。我向你們承諾－－我們作為一個整體將會達成目標。

我們會遭遇挫折和不成功的開端。對于我作為總統所做的每項決定和政策，會有許多人持有異議，我們也知道政府并不能解決所有問題。但我會向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰。我會聆聽你們的意見，尤其是在我們意見相左之時。最重要的是，我會請求你們參與重建這個國家，以美國221年來從未改變的唯一方式－－一磚一瓦、胼手胝足。

21個月前那個寒冬所開始的一切不應該在今天這個秋夜結束。今天的選舉勝利并不是我們所尋求的改變－－這只是我們進行改變的機會。而且如果我們仍然按照舊有方式行事，我們所尋求的改變不可能出現。沒有你們，也不可能有這種改變。

因此，讓我們發揚新的愛國精神，樹立新的服務意識和責任感，讓我們每個人下定決心全情投入、更加努力地工作，并彼此關愛。讓我們銘記這場金融危機帶來的教訓：我們不可能在金融以外的領域備受煎熬的同時擁有繁榮興旺的華爾街－－在這個國家，我們患難與共。

讓我們抵制重走老路的誘惑，避免重新回到令美國政治長期深受毒害的黨派紛爭和由此引發的遺憾和不成熟表現。讓我們牢記，正是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的大旗扛到了白宮。共和黨是建立在自強自立、個人自由以及全民團結的價值觀上，這也是我們所有人都珍視的價值。雖然民主黨今天晚上贏得了巨大的勝利，但我們是以謙卑的態度和彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧的決心贏得這場勝利的。林肯在向遠比我們眼下分歧更大的國家發表講話時說，我們不是敵人，而是朋友??雖然激情可能褪去，但是這不會割斷我們感情上的聯系。對于那些現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。

那些徹夜關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，我們的經歷雖然各有不同，但是我們的命運是相通的，新的美國領袖誕生了。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照亮世界發展前景的人們，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模，而是來自我們理想的持久力量：民主、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。我們的聯邦會日臻完善。我們取得的成就為我們將來能夠取得的以及必須取得的成就增添了希望。

這次大選創造了多項“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。

她出生的那個時代奴隸制度剛剛結束；那時路上沒有汽車，天上也沒有飛機；當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，婦女沒有發言權，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，看到她們大聲發表自己的見解，看到她們去參加大選投票。是的，我們能做到。

當30年代的沙塵暴和大蕭條引發人們的絕望之情時，她看到一個國家用羅斯福新政、新就業機會以及對新目標的共同追求戰勝恐慌。是的，我們能做到。

當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，見證了一個民主國家被拯救。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生變革。是的，我們能做到。

美國，我們已經走過漫漫長路。我們已經歷了很多。但是我們仍有很多事情要做。因此今夜，讓我們自問－－如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀；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，為我們的后代敞開機會的大門；恢復繁榮發展，推進和平事業；讓“美國夢”重新煥發光芒，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；當我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑，當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。

奧巴馬獲勝演講

1.如果，還有人懷疑美國是一切皆有可能的國度，還有人疑慮美國締造者的夢想是否還存在于我們這個時代，還有人質疑我們的民主的力量是否強大，今晚，答案將被揭曉。2.我們可以從史無前例的在學校和教堂周圍排著長隊等待投票的浩蕩隊伍中獲知答案；這些選民排了三四個小時的隊，其中有些人甚至是生平第一次參與選舉，因為他們相信，這次選舉真的與以往不同――而使這種不同成為可能的正是他們內心真正的呼聲。3.無論是青年人還是老人，無論是窮人還是富人，無論是民主黨人還是共和黨人，無論是黑人、白人，還是西班牙裔、亞裔、印第安人，亦或同性戀、異性性戀者，無論是殘疾人士還是健康人士，美國人民在告訴世界，我們從來就不只是單個個體的集合，也不是紅州和藍州的簡單組合，我們是，而且永遠都是是——美利堅合眾國。4.這個答案告訴了那些長久以來對我們的未來充滿擔憂、焦慮以及恐懼的人們。我們要用雙手重筑歷史的大橋，再一次，讓它通向更加美好的彼岸。5.為了迎接這一刻的到來，我們已經等待了很久。但今晚，由于我們在這次選舉的關鍵時刻所做出的抉擇，美國將翻開嶄新的一頁。6.我剛剛接到了極具風度風度的到麥凱恩議員的電話。麥凱恩議員為這次選舉付出了很多，然而他為他所摯愛的國家，付出了更加艱辛而長久的努力。長期以來他對美國所作出的貢獻，是超乎我們想像的。這位勇敢而無私的領導者為美國所作出的貢獻使我們的國家更加強大。7.8.我祝賀他，也祝賀佩林，他們取得了驕人的成績。我期待在接下來的幾個月中，能與他們一道，重拾美國的承諾。我要感謝我的競選伙伴。他全心全意參與競選，為那些和他一起在斯克蘭頓街長大的人們，為那些和他一道乘火車回特拉華州的普通民眾代言。他就是已經當選為美國副總統的是喬·拜登。9.如果沒有我摯友十六年來的全力支持、沒有我家庭的強力支撐，沒有我一生至愛的妻子，也就是下一任美國第一夫人，米歇爾·奧巴馬的支持，今晚，我就不會站在這里。還有我的女兒，薩沙和瑪麗亞。我是如此愛你們。你們已經得到一只新的小狗，它將和我們一起入住白宮。10.而我的外祖母，雖然此刻他已經離我們而去，但我知道她正注視著我——和帶給我生命、定義了我人生的家人們一道。今夜，我想念他們。我知道我所虧欠他們的難以償還。感謝我的妹妹瑪雅和阿爾瑪，以及其它所有的兄弟姐妹，非常感謝你們對我的全力支持。我感激他們！11.感謝我的競選總策劃——大衛·普勞夫（David Plouffe），這位無名英雄，創造了美國歷史上最偉大的政治選舉。還要感謝我的競選總顧問，大衛·阿克塞羅德（David Axelrod），他陪伴我走過了競選征程中的每一步。感謝美國政治史上最棒的競選團隊，是你們造就了今天的這一刻，你們因此而付出的努力和犧牲，我將永遠銘記。12.13.但最重要的是，我永遠不會忘記這場勝利的真正屬于者。它屬于你們！

我一直都是最沒有可能成為這個國家總統的候選人。剛開始時我們沒有充足的資金，也沒有廣泛的支持。我們的競選之程并非起步于華盛頓的高華第之內，而是始于得梅因（美國衣阿華Iowa州的首府）的后院、康科德市普通人家的客廳、以及查爾斯頓的某個前廊。14.美元。15.我們的勝利來自于年輕人——他們離開了家鄉和親人，在外闖蕩卻只能賺取微薄收入的年輕人。他們用實際行動反駁了關于他們是冷漠一代的傳言。我們的勝利也來自于那些已不再年輕的人們，他們在嚴寒或酷暑中走街串巷，敲響了一個又一個陌生人的房門。我們的勝利來自數以萬計的美國人民，他們自發地組織起來，就是為了證明，就算是在兩個多世紀之后，這個民有、民治、民享的政府仍將巍然屹立在世界之林。16.17.這個勝利屬于你們！

我知道你們所做的一切，并不僅僅是為了贏得大選，也不是為了我。你們之所以這樣做是因為你們明白，我們的前路仍然布滿荊棘。即便我們今晚在此歡呼慶祝，我們也難以漠視未來之挑戰的艱巨性將是空前絕后這一事實，兩場戰爭——一個滿目瘡痍的星球和一場百年不遇的經濟危機。18.即使我們今晚在此慶祝狂歡，我們也情不自禁地牽掛著勇敢的美國士兵，為了保護我們而冒著生命危險，跋涉于伊拉克的沙漠之中或是攀援于阿富汗的群山之上。這一勝利來自于普通工薪階層的勞動者。他們省吃儉用，就是為了能為我們的競選湊上五美元、十美元或者二十19.還會有父母們在孩子進入夢鄉之后，仍然輾轉難眠，擔心如何償還按揭、擔心如何支付醫療費，或者擔心如何存夠送孩子上大學的錢。我們亟待開發新能源、創造新就業機會、修建新的學校，還要應對對眾多挑戰、修復我們的戰略聯盟。

20.前路是嚴峻而又漫長，我們未必能在一年或者一屆任期之內完成任務。但是，美國，我從來未像今晚這樣滿懷希望，我相信我們一定可以達到目標！我向你們承諾：我們的夢想一定可以達成！

21.途中會有挫折，甚至一開始就會有失敗。很多人不會完全同意我作為總統做出的政策和決定。而且我們也知道，政府不可能解決所有的問題。但我會永遠坦率地面對我們的挑戰。我會聽取你們的意見——尤其是當我們出現分歧的時候。

22.步一個腳印。23.而最重要的是，我會請你們加入到家園的重建中來，用二百二十一年以來我們一直沿用的方法——一磚一瓦，一二十一個月之前那個深冬開始的勝利之路，不能在今天這個秋夜止步。這次選舉的勝利本身并不是我們所渴求的變化。這只是給了我們一個機會，去實現我們期待的轉變。而如果我們重蹈覆轍，這一變化將無從實現。沒有你們的參與，沒有新的服務精神，沒有新的奉獻精神，這一變化也不會發生。

24.所以，讓我們呼喚一種全新的愛國主義，發揚主人翁精神——每個人都努力地工作，都學會關心身邊的人。如果這次金融危機有什么教訓的話，那就是如果小城鎮蕭條的話，華爾街也不可能繁榮。在這個國家，我們休戚相關，榮辱與共。

25.讓我們一起摒棄那些長久以來毒害國家政權多年的幼稚無聊的黨派紛爭。我們要始終銘記是這個國家的一名男子，第一次將共和黨的大旗插在了白宮之上——一個倡導自力更生，獨立自由和國家統一的政黨。

26.那些都是我們所擁護的價值觀。今晚在民主黨取得偉大勝利的同時，我們更要以一種謙卑果敢的心態，去化解并消除那些曾經阻礙我們前進的隔膜以及分裂。在面臨著比當今形式更嚴重的國家分裂時，林肯說過：“我們是朋友，不是敵人??盡管現在我們的情緒有些緊張，但決不容許它折斷聯結我們情感的紐帶。”

27.而對于那些沒有投我選票的選民——也許時至今晚我也尚未得到你們的支持，我但是我聽到了你們的心聲，我需要你們的幫助，因為同時我也是你們的總統。

28.對于那些遠在大洋彼岸，亦或是在國會、白宮和在世界的某個角落圍坐在收音機前的人們——我們各有各的故事，但是我們的命運是密切相關的，美國新的一屆領導班子即將破曉，展現在人們的面前。

29.地支持你們。30.對于那些試圖讓天下大亂的人，我們將毫不留情地擊敗你們。而對于那些期望世界安全和平失，我們將義無反顧至于那些對美國是否能保持超級大國地位持有懷疑態度的人——今晚我們將再次證明，我們的真正實力并不是來自我們的強大軍事力量、也不是來自我們的巨額財富，而是來自我們于我們不朽的價值觀：民主、自由、機遇和永不放棄的信念。

31.美國的真正天賦在于：美國是與時俱進的。，我們的聯盟會日趨完善。我們已經取得的成就，給了我們新的希望。讓我們向著更偉大的明天，前進。

32.這次選舉所創造的無數“第一次”和故事將永垂青史。但讓我印象最為深刻的是一位在亞特蘭大投上她神圣一票的女士。她像千千萬萬的美國人一樣，想在這次選舉中發出自己的聲音，唯一的不同之處在于——安·尼克松·庫帕（Ann Nixon Cooper）已經106歲了。

33.她出生在剛廢除奴隸制不久的年代，那是一個沒有汽車、沒有飛機的年代，當時她沒有選舉權，有兩個原因——因為她是女人，同時也是黑人。

34.而今晚，我在思索著她所經歷的百年美國——絕望與希望；掙扎與進步；那個讓我們妄自菲薄的年代，也是在那個年代，我們被告知美國的信條：是的，我們可以做得到。

35.那是一個女人的心聲被壓制的時代，那是一個女人的夢想被擱淺的時代，她見證了女性同胞站了起來，勇敢地說出自己的心聲，并獲得了選舉權。是的，我們可以！

36.當國家處于絕望和一片蕭條的境況中，她見證了一個國家是如何通過新政，創造新的工作崗位，樹立統一的社會目標。是的，我們可以做得到。

37.38.當我們的港口被炸，暴政籠罩著世界時，她見證了一代人的崛起，見證了民主的捍衛。是的，我們可以做得到。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：“我們戰勝一切！”是的，我們可以做得到。

39.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，投出了自己神圣的一票，因為她在美國生活的106年期間，既見證了興盛，也目睹了衰敗，她知道美國是如何一步步走過來的，是的，我們可以做得到。40.美國，我們已經走過了漫漫長路，我們經歷了種種坎坷，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？我們將會取得什么樣的進步？ 41.42.這是一個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，為我們的子孫后代敞開更多的機遇之門；重建繁榮大廈，推進和平進程；重溫美國之夢，重申我們的基本信念，那就是團結一心，眾志成城。只要我們一息尚存，我們就懷揣夢想。當我們面對犬儒主義、面對那些質疑我們的人的時候，我們就用我們永恒的信條來回擊他們——是的，我們可以做得到。43.謝謝大家。上帝保佑你們，愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

在這樣一場漫長而激烈的競爭之中,僅僅是他的勝利,就使我敬重他的能力與堅毅。然而,他更令我激賞而盛贊的成就,是他在贏得選戰的過程中,喚起了數以百萬計人民的希望——這些人曾經誤以為自己在美國總統的選舉中無足輕重、無法造成任何影響。這是一場歷史性的選舉,而我知道它對非裔美人特殊的意義,今晚這份特別的榮耀屬于他們。我素來相信美國為那些努力并有決心的人提供機會。奧巴馬參議員也這樣認為。

The past 30 years of reform and opening-up have also brought about historical changes in China’s relations with the rest of the world.China, once a closed and semi-closed society, has opened itself to the outside world.It is an active participant in international and regional cooperation, and it has become a major engine propelling global economic growth.It has established extensive contacts with the international community and taken an active part in international and regional affairs.Faithfully fulfilling it’s international obligations and playing a responsible and constructive role, China is now an important force for maintaining world peace and promoting common development.Any country that wants to develop itself should not only rely on it’s own efforts, but also carry out reform and opening-up and pursue win-win progress and common development with other countries.This is the conclusion we have drawn from the success of China’s development endeavors.And we are keenly aware that in this increasingly globalized world china’s future is inseparably bound up with the future of the world.,

第五篇：奧巴馬獲勝演講

Obama：奧巴馬：Change Has Come To America 美國的變革時代已到來 Hello, Chicago.芝加哥的市民們，你們好！

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果還有人仍在懷疑美國是否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.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。

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.不管你是年輕人還是老年人，是富人還是窮人，是民主黨人還是共和黨人，是黑人還是白人，也不管你是拉丁美洲人或亞洲人還是本土美國人，更無論你是否為同性戀者、是否是殘疾人，這是美國人共同的答案。美國人向全世界傳遞一個聲音，那就是我們的選舉從不分紅州或藍州。

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我們屬于，而且永遠只屬于美利堅合眾國。

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.長久以來，很多人一再受到告誡，要對我們所能取得的成績極盡諷刺、擔憂和懷疑之能事，但這個答案讓這些人伸出手來把握歷史，再次讓它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

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.雖然等待了很長時間，但在今晚的這一決定性時刻，由于我們在這次選舉中的努力，美國終于迎來了變革。A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.今天傍晚稍早的時候，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.在競選過程中，他堅持不懈，努力了很長時間，而且他還會為他所熱愛的國家繼續更加努力。他已經為美國奉獻了太多，以到于我們許多人都無法想象。我們必須要更好地服務于我們的祖國，以補償這位勇敢而無私的領導人。

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.我祝賀他以及佩林此前取得的所有成績，而且我希望能夠與他們合作，重申數月前我們對國家所做的承諾。

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。

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.在過去16年間，如果沒有我最好朋友的堅定支持，沒有我家庭成員的強力支撐，沒有我妻子，也就美國未來的第一夫人米歇爾-奧巴馬無私的愛，今晚我不可能站在這里。

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，我也非常愛你們，你們肯定也沉浸在即將入住白宮的喜悅之中。

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.然而，我的外祖母已永遠離開了我們，但我知道她也正和所有支持我的家人一樣在看著我。我今晚非常想念他們，而且知道我欠他們的太多。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.和我的競選顧問大衛·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-最好的政治大選。

To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.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。

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.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。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。

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.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。

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.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。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，你們不僅僅是為了贏得一個大選，也不僅僅是為了我。

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。

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.即使我們今夜站在這里，我們依然知道，勇敢的美國人在伊拉克的荒地上、在阿富汗的山林中醒來，為了我們，賭上自己的生命。

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.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，攢夠足夠供孩子的大學教育的錢。

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.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。

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。我們肯定可以達到目標，此前我從未有今天晚上的如此有信心。

I promise you, we as a people will get there.我向你們承諾，我們肯定可以。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.當然，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。我們知道政府并不能解決所有的問題。

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的重建工作之中。221年來，我們的國家就是這樣一磚一瓦，一點一滴地建造起來的。

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.我們開始于21個月前的深冬，不會結束在這個秋季的夜晚。

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.這僅僅是勝利而不是我們所尋求的變化。這是我們唯一去做出的改變的機會。如果我們回到原來的老路，那么改變不會發生。

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.沒有你們，沒有一種新的服務精神，新的犧牲精神，它不能發生。

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，讓我們拿出一個新的愛國主義精神，責任感，在我們每個人都上下齊心努力工作時，期待的不僅是自己，而且彼此。

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，如果此次金融危機告訴我們什么，我們再也不會讓華爾街繁榮的同時，讓別的街受罪。

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.在這個國家，我們的興衰，作為一個民族，作為一個人。讓我們抵制誘惑，回到屬于同一黨派，雞毛蒜皮的小事和不成熟已經毒害我們的政治如此之久。Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.讓我們銘記，是這個州的人第一次將共和黨的旗幟扛進了白宮，(共和黨)是一個將價值觀建立在自信、個人自由以及國家團結基礎上的政黨。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。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，我傾聽到了你們的聲音，我需要得到你們的幫助，而我也同樣是你們的總統。

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.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，但我們的命運是共同的，美國領導人新的曙光即將來臨。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.對于那些破壞世界的人，我們將打敗你。對于那些尋求和平與安全的：我們支持你。對于所有那些疑惑美國的燈塔是否還會繼續明亮燃燒的人，今夜我們將再次證明，我們國家的力量并不是來源來我們的胳膊的臂力，也不是來源于我們的財富，而是源自于我們理念的持久力量。這些理念包括：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.這是真正的天才合眾國：美國會發生變化。我們的社會應該更完美。我們已經取得了給了我們將來能夠而且必須實現的的希望。

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，許多故事，將會代代相傳。但是，今晚在我腦海的是一個在亞特蘭大投下了她的票的女子。她就像數以百萬計的在這次大選中排隊發出自己聲音的人一樣，除了一件事：安-尼克松-庫珀，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.她出生在奴隸制剛剛廢除后的那一代，一個道路上沒有汽車和天空中沒有飛機的時代;當時像她這樣的人不能參加投票原因有兩個-因為她是一個女子，因為她的皮膚顏色。

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.今晚，我想她看透了一個世紀的美國——頭疼與希望；掙扎與發展，多少次我們被告知我們不能，可美國人的自信卻回答：是我們能夠做到。

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes we can.當時，婦女的聲音被壓制，他們的希望被駁回，可她活著看到他們站起來，發出自己的聲音，并且投下自己的票。是我們能夠做到。

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose.Yes we can.當饑餓來到，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。是我們能夠做到。

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes we can.當炸彈落到我們的港口，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。是我們能夠做到。

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.她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”，是我們能夠做到。

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.一個人踏上了月球，一堵墻在柏林倒下，這個世界因科學和想像而相連。

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，她把她的手指放到屏幕上，投下她的選票，因為106年后的美國，經歷了最好的時光與最難的歲月，她知道怎樣可以改變美國。Yes we can.是我們能夠做到。

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，我們來到迄今。我們已經看到這么多。但有這么多事情要做。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.我們應該回答這個問題，這是我們的時代。

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.謝謝您。上帝保佑你。愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。
