第一篇：希拉里演講中英文

雙語字幕如下：

Thank you。Thank you all。………。

謝謝你們。謝謝你們所有人。（各種謝）

Very proud of you group。

我為你們感到非常驕傲。

Thank you my friends。Thank you。Thank you so very much for being here。

感謝你們，我的朋友們。感謝你們。非常感謝你們能來這。

And I love you all，too。

我也愛你們所有人。

Last night I congratulated Donald Trump and offer to work with him on behalf of our country。

昨晚，我恭喜了唐納德·川普，并提出愿意為了我們的國家和他共事。

I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans。

我希望他能成為一個成功的、為所有美國人民服務的總統。

This is not the outcome we wanted or worked so hard for。

這并不是我們想要的結果，我們那么努力地奮戰也不是為了這個。

And I am sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the visions we hold for our country。

我很抱歉我沒有贏得這次選舉，我辜負了我們共同的價值觀，辜負了我們對我們國家的愿景。

But I feel，I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together，this vast，diverse，creative，unruly，energized campaign。

然而我為這場我們共同奮戰的選舉感到驕傲和感激，這是一場宏大、多樣、有創意、別具一格、充滿活力的選戰。

You represent the best of America and being your candidate has been one of the greatest honor of my life。

你們代表了美國最好的一面，而在這擔任候選人對我來說是一生中最大的榮耀之一。

I know how disappointed you feel because I feel it too。

我知道你們有多么失望，因為我也同樣失望。

And so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort。

而那成千上萬將自己的夢想和希望投入進來的美國人也同樣失望。

This is painful and it will be for a longtime。

這很讓人痛苦，而且我們將要痛苦很長時間。

But I want you to remember this。

但我希望你們能記住：

Our campaign was never about one person or even one election。

我們的競選活動從來就不是關于一個人或者甚至一次選舉的。

It was about the country we love and about building an America that’s hopeful，inclusive and big hearted。

它是關于這個我們摯愛的國家的，是關于建立一個充滿希望、多樣性和包容力的美國的。

We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought。

我們已經看見：我們國家的分裂程度遠超我們的想象。

But I still believe in America and I always will。

但我依舊對美國抱有信心，而且我一直會。

And if you do，then we must accept this result and then look to the future。

而如果你也會，你就必須接受這次的結果并放眼未來。

Donald Trump is going to be our president。We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead。

唐納德·川普將會成為我們的總統。我們應該用開放的思維來接待他，并給他一個領導我們的機會。

Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power。

我們的憲政民主明文記規定了和平的權利轉移。

And we don’t just respect that。We cherish it。

我們不光尊重這一點。我們珍視這一點。

It also enshrines other things – the rule of law，the principle that we are all equal in rights and dignity，freedom of worship and expression。

它還規定了其他的一些事——法制、我們所有人都在權利與尊嚴上平等這一原則，以及信仰與言論自由。

We respect and cherish these values too。And we must defend them。

我們也同樣尊重并珍視這些價值觀。而且我們必須保護他們。

And let me add，our constitutional democracy demands our participation。Not just every 4 years but all the time。

請容我再補充一點，我們的憲政民主要求我們參與并合作，并不是每4年才一次，而是永遠如此。

So let’s do all we can to keep advancing the courses and values we all hold dear，making our economy work for everyone，not just those at the top，protecting our country and protecting our planet and breaking all the barriers that hold any American back from achieving their dreams。

所以讓我們所有人都竭盡所能來推行這些我們珍視的價值觀吧，來使我們的經濟體讓所有人——而非上層的少數——都受益，來保護我們的國家并保護我們的星球，并打破所有那些阻礙美國人實現夢想的障壁。

We spent a year and a half bringing together billions of people from every corner of our country to say with onevoice that we believe that the American dream is big enough for everyone，for people of all races and religions，for men and women，for immigrants，for LGBT people and people with disabilities，for everyone。

我們花了一年半的時間，講數以億計的人從全國各地匯聚到一起共同發聲，這個共同的聲音是：美國夢大到足夠容納所有人，無論種族、宗教、男女、性向，也不管你是否是移民或殘障人士，所有人都有份。

So now，our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part to build that better，stronger，fairer America we seek。

所以，現在，我們作為公民的義務就是繼續做好自己分內的事，以此來建立那個我們尋求的更好、更強、更公平的美國。

And I know you will。

而我知道你們會這么做。

I am so grateful to stand with all of you。

我為能和你們并肩而立感到感恩。

I wanna thank Tim Kaine and Ann Holton for being our partners on this journey。

我想感謝提姆·凱恩和安妮·霍頓能在這次旅程中做我的伙伴。

It has been a joy to get to know them better and it gives me great hope and comfort to know that Tim will remain on the front lines of our democracy representing Virginia as a Senator。

能更加深入地認識他們我感到很高興。而且，當我想到提姆會以弗吉尼亞參議員的身份繼續在前線為我們的民主而戰的時候，我內心就充滿希望與慰藉。

To Barack and Michelle Obama，our country owes you an enormous debt of gratitude。

對于巴拉克和米歇爾·奧巴馬夫婦，我們的國家欠你們一個真摯的感謝。

We thank you for your graceful，determined leadership that has meant so much for so many Americans and people across the world。

我們感謝你們優雅而又堅定的領導，這對于美國和全世界的許多人來說都意義重大。

And to Bill and Chelsea，Mark，Charlotte，Aiden，our brothers and our entire family，my love for you is more than I can ever express。

對于比爾和切爾西、馬克、夏洛特、艾登、我們的兄弟們和整個家庭，我對你們的愛已經無法用語言表達。

You crisscrossed this country on our behalf and lifted me up when I needed it most even 4-month-old Aiden who traveled with his mom。

你們為了我們奔波于這整個國家，你們在我最需要幫助的時候像我伸出援手，就連4個月大就和媽媽一起奔波的艾登也是。

I will always be grateful to the creative，talented，dedicated men and women at our headquarters in Brooklyn and across our country。

我會永遠為我們布魯克林總部以及全國的那些堅定、有才又富有創造力的人們而心存感激。

You poured your hearts into this campaign。For some of you who are veterans it’s a campaign after you had done other campaigns。Some of you，it was your first campaign。

你們將自己的心血傾注到這次選戰當中。對于你們當中的一部分老手來說，這只是許多次選戰后的又一場，對另一些來說則是第一次。

I want each of you to know that you are the best campaign anybody could ever expected or wanted。

我想讓你們所有人都知道，你們是世上最棒的競選團隊。

And to the millions of volunteers，community leaders，activists and union organizers who knocked down doors，talked to neighbors，posted on facebook，even in secret private facebook sites，I want everybody to come out from behind that and make sure your voices are heard going forward。

而對這數以萬計的志愿者、社區領袖、積極分子以及工會組織者，這些挨家挨戶竅門拜訪、與鄰居交談、在臉書發文——即使是臉書的私密網絡——的人，我希望你們所有人都從幕后走出來，并讓你們的聲音為人所聞。

For everyone that sent in contributions as small as 5 dollars that kept us going，thank you，thank you from all of us。

對所有那些為了讓我能夠運作而捐款的人，即使你只捐了5美元，感謝你們，我們所有人都感謝你們。

And to the young people in particular，I hope you will hear this。

另外，我尤其希望年輕人能聽到我接下來要說的：

I have，as Tim said，spent my entire adult life fighting for what I believe in。

正如提姆所說，我將成年后的時光全都用來為自己的信念而戰。

I had successes and I had setbacks，sometimes really painful ones。

我有過成功，也有過失敗，其中一些失敗非常慘痛。

Many of you are at the beginning of your professional，public and political careers。

你們當中有些人才剛剛開始自己作為專業人士、公共事務工作者和政治人物的職業生涯。

You will have successes and setbacks too。

你們也會有成功與失敗的時刻。

This loss hurts。But please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it。

這次的失敗讓我們傷得很疼。但請永遠不要停止相信：為自己的信念二戰是正確的，也是值得的。

It is。It is worth it。

是的，是值得的。

And so we need you to keep up these fights now and the rest of your life。

所以，我們需要你們繼續這樣的戰斗，在現在，以及余生。

And to all the women，and especially the young women，who put their faith in this campaign and in me，I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion。

還有，對于所有的女性，特別是年輕的女性，那些將自己的信仰投注到這次選戰以及我身上的女性，我希望你們能知道：對我來說沒有比成為你們的榜樣更值得驕傲的事了。

Now，I know that we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling，but someday someone will and hopefully sooner than we might think right now。

不過，我知道我們還沒能打破那層最高、最硬的天花板，不過總有一天會有人做到，而且這很有可能比我們現在預期的要早。

And to all the little girls who are watching this，never doubt that you’re valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams。

然后，對于所有那些正在觀看我講話的小女孩，請永遠不要懷疑自己的價值和力量，你們理應得到世間所有追求夢想的機會。

Finally，finally，I am so grateful for our country and for all it has given to me。

最后的最后，我非常感激我們的國家，感謝它給予的一切。

I count my blessings every single day that I am an American。

我每天對因為身為一個美國人而感到被保佑。

And I still believe as deeply as I ever have that if we stand together and work together with respect for our differences，strength in our convictions and love for this nation our best days are still ahead of us。

而我依舊堅信，正如我一直堅信的那樣，只要我們尊重彼此的不同、堅定前進并熱愛我們的國家，我們的好日子就會到來。

Because，you know，I believe we are stronger together and we will go forward together。

因為，你們也知道，我相信我們團結起來就會更強，而且我們將團結起來一起前進。

And you should never，ever regret fighting for that。

而我們永遠永遠不應該對這樣的奮斗感到遺憾。

You know，scripture tells us，let us not grow weary in doing good，for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart。

大家都知道，圣經告訴我們，永遠不要厭倦做正確的事；因為只要我們不放棄，總有一天我們將迎來豐收。

So my friends，let us have faith in each other，let us not grow weary and lose heart，for there are more seasons to come and there is more work to do。

我的朋友們，讓我們不要放棄對彼此的信念，不要厭煩，不要灰心，因為好日子還在等著我們，我們任重道遠。

I am incredibly honored and grateful to have had this chance to represent all of you in this consequential election。

我為能代表你們參加這場至關重要的選舉而感到榮耀之至、感激涕零。

May God bless you and may God bless the United States of America。

愿上帝保佑你們，愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

第二篇：希拉里退出總統選舉演講中英文

希拉里退出總統選舉演講（中英文）

Thank you so much.Thank you all.非常感謝各位！謝謝你們！

Well, this isn't exactly the party I'd planned, but I sure like the company.(APPLAUSE)

這場聚會并不是我事先計劃好的哦，但是我很感謝有你們的陪伴。

I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you--to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs, who scrimped and saved to raise money, who knocked on doors and made calls, who talked and sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors,(APPLAUSE)who e-mailed and contributed online, who invested so much in our common enterprise.To the moms and dads who came to our events, who lifted their little girls and little boys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears, “See, you can be anything you want to be.”(APPLAUSE)

從今天開始我想要感謝所有的人——感謝那些傾注了你們的熱情和希望在這次競選活動中的人們，感謝那些長途跋涉，在街上揮舞自制標語的人們，感謝那些省吃儉用，踴躍募款的人們，感謝那些到各家各戶敲門，給每個人打電話，并且和你的朋友鄰居們討論甚至爭論起來的人們。（鼓掌）感謝那些通過電子郵件和網絡進行捐助的人們，感謝那些在我們的公共事業上大量投資的人們。更要感謝那些帶著小孩子參加我們活動的父親母親，他們輕聲地告訴肩膀上的孩子們：―看啊，有夢想就能實現！‖

To the young people, like 13-year-old Ann Riddle from Mayfield, Ohio, who had been saving for two years to go to Disney World, and decided to use her savings instead to travel to Pennsylvania with her mom and volunteer there as well.To the veterans and the childhood friends, to New Yorkers and Arkansans who traveled across the country, telling anyone who would listen why you supported me.我也應該感謝像安這樣的年輕人們，她今年剛13歲，來自俄亥俄州的梅菲爾得市，她決定把過去兩年中本為去迪士尼攢下的錢用來去賓夕法尼亞和媽媽一起充當志愿者。還有那些退伍老兵，孩提時的朋友，以及紐約和阿肯色地區的人 1 們，感謝他們不遠萬里來到這里，是他們告訴那些愿意聆聽的人們為什么要支持我。

To all those women in their 80s and their 90s, born before women could vote, who cast their votes for our campaign.I've told you before about Florence Steen of South Dakota, who was 88 years old, and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside.Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot.She passed away soon after, and under state law, her ballot didn't count.But her daughter later told a reporter, “My dad's an ornery old cowboy, and he didn't like it when he heard mom's vote wouldn't be counted.I don't think he had voted in 20 years.But he voted in place of my mom.”(APPLAUSE)感謝那些在女性可以有選舉權之前出生的八、九十歲并在競選活動中投票的女士們。我在之前提到過來自南達科他州的88歲的Florence Steen, 堅持讓他的女兒帶一張缺席選舉人票到她的床邊。她女兒和朋友在她的床邊放了面美國國旗并幫助她填選票。沒多久，她離開了人世。根據國家法律，她的選票不能生效。后來她的女兒對記者說：―我爸是個脾氣不大好的老牛仔，聽到我媽的選票失效時他很失落。我想他有二十多年沒有投過票了，但他這次代替我媽媽投上了一票。‖

To all those who voted for me, and to whom I pledged my utmost, my commitment to you and to the progress we seek, is unyielding.You have inspired and touched me with the stories of the joys and sorrows that make up the fabric of our lives, and you have humbled me with your commitment to our country.感謝所有支持我的人們，那些我發誓過要盡我所能對他們奉獻的人們，還要感謝我們堅韌不屈共同前進的過程。你們那些充滿喜悅和悲傷的故事編織著我們的人生，并且激勵和感動著我，你們對國家的承諾和擔當使我自慚形穢。

Eighteen million of you from all walks of life--women and men, young and old, Latino and Asian, African-American and Caucasian, rich, poor and middle-class, gay and straight--you have stood strong with me.And I will continue to stand strong with you, every time, every place and every way that I can.The dreams we share are worth fighting for.2

你們這1800萬人來生活的各個階層——無論男人和女人，年輕人和老年人，拉丁裔和亞裔，非裔美國人和高加索人，富足的、貧窮的和中產階級的人，也無論同性戀者和非同性戀。你們給與我有力的支持。無論何時何地，我將盡我所能，堅定地和你們站在一起。我們擁有同樣的夢想，值得我們一起為之奮斗，為之拼搏。

Remember--we fought for the single mom with a young daughter, juggling work and school, who told me, “I'm doing it all to better myself for her.” We fought for the woman who grabbed my hand, and asked me, “What are you going to do to make sure I have health care?” and began to cry, because even though she works three jobs, she can't afford insurance.記住——我們奮斗，為了那個在學校和工作間不斷奔波獨自撫養年幼女兒的單身母親，她說：―我所做的一切都是讓我這個母親更稱職‖。我們奮斗，為了那個抓住我的手問我：―你打算怎樣來保證我的醫療保障？‖，然后痛哭的婦女，那個同時做著三份工作，卻依舊不能支付保險的女人。

We fought for the young man in the Marine Corps T-shirt who waited months for medical care and said, “Take care of my buddies over there--and then, will you please help take care of me?”(APPLAUSE)We fought for all those who've lost jobs and health care, who can't afford gas or groceries or college, who have felt invisible to their president these last seven years.我們奮斗，為了那個身著海軍陸戰隊T恤的年輕人，那個為了醫療護理等待了數月的青年，他告訴我說：―請照顧好我在那里的朋友，然后請你也護理一下我好嗎？‖我們奮斗，為了所有失去工作和醫療保障的人，為了所有不能支付油費、雜貨費或學費的人，為了所有過去7年被他們的總統所忽略的人！

I entered this race because I have an old-fashioned conviction: that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their dreams.I've had every opportunity and blessing in my own life--and I want the same for all Americans.Until that day comes, you will always find me on the front lines of democracy--fighting for the future.(APPLAUSE)The way to continue our fight now--to accomplish the goals for which we stand--is to take our energy, our passion, our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States.(APPLAUSE)

我參加這場競選是因為我有一個古老而又傳統的信念：公共事業應該幫人們解決問題，實現理想。在我的人生中，我得到了許多機會和祝福。但我希望所有美利堅民眾也能夠跟我一樣。在那一天到來之前，你們都能看到我站在民主陣線的前沿，為著未來而奮斗。現在繼續我們的戰斗并實現我們所秉持的目標的方式就是拿出我們的精力、我們的信念、我們的力量，盡我們所能去幫助奧巴馬成為美國下一任總統。

Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run.I endorse him, and throw my full support behind him.(APPLAUSE)And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.(APPLAUSE)

今天，在我宣布退出我的競選之際，我祝賀他的勝利和他所參與的不平凡的競選。我贊同他，并盡我所能在背后支持他。我懇求你們加入到我的這項工作來，就像你們曾經為我所做的那樣，堅定的支持奧巴馬。

I have served in the Senate with him for four years.I have been in this campaign with him for 16 months.I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates.I have had a front row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit.我已經和他在議會里共事了四年，在競選里戰斗了16個月，在臺前近距離對峙了22場戰役。我對他的參選了如指掌，也見識了他的力量與決心，他的風度與毅力。

In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American Dream.As a community organizer, in the state senate, as a United States senator--he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized.And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future.奧巴馬的一生都在追求美國夢。從一個社區組織人做起，到國會參議院，再到美國參議員，每走下的一步都確保著夢的實現。這次競選中，他鼓勵很多人參與到民主進程中來，并激勵他們為我們共同的將來出力獻策。

Now, when I started this race, I intended to win back the White House, and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity and progress.And that's exactly what we're going to do by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on Jan.20, 2009.(APPLAUSE)當我開始競選時，我的目的就只有一個，那就是贏回白宮，保證我們中走出一名總統，把我們的國家帶回到和平，繁榮和發展的軌道上來。這就是我們為什么要力挺奧巴馬2009年1月20日入主橢形辦公室的原因。

I understand that we all know this has been a tough fight.The Democratic Party is a family, and it's now time to restore the ties that bind us together and to come together around the ideals we share, the values we cherish and the country we love.現在，我明白，我明白這將會是一場艱難的斗爭，但民主黨本身是一家的。現在，正是時候，重新拉上把我們綁在一起的紐帶，為我們同樣的理想，珍視的價值，熱愛的祖國而獻身吧。

We may have started on separate journeys--but today, our paths have merged.And we are all heading toward the same destination, united and more ready than ever to win in November and to turn our country around, because so much is at stake.我們曾經殊途，但今日終于同歸！我們朝同一目標前進，為了贏得11月的選舉，我們更加團結，更加胸有成竹，看看我們的國家，因為這一切早已刻不容緩！

We all want an economy that sustains the American Dream, the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded;to save for college, a home, and retirement;to afford that gas and those groceries and still have a little left over at the end of the month.An economy that lifts all of our people and ensures that our prosperity is

broadly distributed and shared.我們都想要維護美國之夢，想要勞有所得，為大學、家庭、退休存錢，能夠付得起汽油和雜貨，到月底還有點存款的經濟。想要一個能夠鼓舞我們所有人，確保基本上共同繁榮的經濟！

We all want a health care system that is universal, high-quality and affordable,(APPLAUSE)so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead-end jobs simply to keep their insurance.This isn't just an issue for me, it is a passion and a cause, and it is a fight I will continue until every single American is insured--no exceptions, no excuses。(APPLAUSE)

我們都想要一個普遍的，高質量的、負擔得起的醫保系統，父母們不再要考慮照顧他們自己還是他們的孩子，或則不用為了保險而沒日沒夜地工作。這不僅僅是我的問題，這是激情，是事業，是我要繼續奮斗的，為了讓每個美國人，沒有例外，沒有借口的每個美國人都投保的斗爭！

We all want an America defined by deep and meaningful equality--from civil rights to labor rights,(APPLAUSE)from women's rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families.我們都希望有一個美國所界定的深入和有意義的平等；民事權到勞動權，婦女權到同性戀權，結束歧視到促進統一，再到為最重要的事情--關懷家庭--提供幫助。

We all want to restore America's standing in the world, to end the war in Iraq and once again lead by the power of our values(APPLAUSE), and to join with our allies to confront our shared challenges, from poverty and genocide to terrorism and global warming.我們都希望重塑美國在世界的形象，終止伊拉克戰爭，再一次讓我們的價值觀引導我們，同我們的盟友一起面對我們共同的，貧窮，殺戮，恐怖主義和全球變暖的挑戰。

You know, I've been involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades.(APPLAUSE)During those 40 years, our country has voted 10 times for president.Democrats won only three of those times.And the man who won two of those elections is with us today.(APPLAUSE)

對我來說，這樣或那樣的公眾生活和政治生涯已經有四十年了。在這四十年里，我們的國家舉行了十次總統選舉。民主黨只贏得了其中三次。今天，贏得這三次中的兩場的人就和我們在一起。

We made tremendous progress during the 90s under a Democratic president, with a flourishing economy, and our leadership for peace and security respected around the world.Just think how much more progress we could have made over the past 40 years if we had a Democratic president.Think about the lost opportunities of these past seven years--on the environment and the economy, on health care and civil rights, on education, foreign policy and the Supreme Court.Imagine how far we could've come, how much we could've achieved, if we had just had a Democrat in the White House.90年代，在民主黨的總統的領導下我們取得了極大的進步。經濟的飛速發展和在和平和安全的領導地位使我們贏得了世界的尊重。可以想象，要是過去四十年我們也有一個民主黨的總統，我們會取得如何巨大的進步。想一想過去的七年我們錯失的良機吧，環境上的，經濟上的，衛生保健上的，還有民權，教育，外交政策和最高法院上的。要是我們有一位民主黨白宮主人，想一下我們走到了多遠，我們取得了多少的成就。

We cannot let this moment slip away.We have come too far and accomplished too much.我們不能夠讓機會錯失，我們期待得太久，奮斗得太長。

Now, the journey ahead will not be easy.Some will say we can't do it.That it's too hard.That we're just not up to the task.But for as long as America has existed, it has been the American way to reject “can't-do” claims, and to choose instead to stretch the boundaries of the possible through hard work, determination and a pioneering spirit.而今，前路并不平坦。有人說，那太難了，不是我們力所能及的，我們不可 7 能夢想成真。但自從美國誕生以來，我們就有一個美國式的對―不可能‖說不的方式----通過努力的奮斗，堅定的信念和積極的心態盡全力觸摸那叫做可能的界限。

It is this belief, this optimism, that Senator Obama and I share, and that has inspired so many millions of our supporters to make their voices heard.這種信念，這份樂觀，激勵了我和奧巴馬；這種信念，這份樂觀，激勵了百萬的你們，讓支持的聲音響徹太空。

So today, I am standing with Senator Obama to say: Yes we can.(APPLAUSE)

因此今天，我選擇和Obama參議員站在一起說：沒錯，我們能。

Together, we will work.We'll have to work hard to get universal health care.But on the day we live in an America where no child, no man and no woman is without health insurance, we will live in a stronger America.That's why we need to help elect Barack Obama our president.(APPLAUSE)

我們將一道奮斗，我們將全力以赴，以實現各人都可享有的醫療保健。一旦到了美國出現一個沒有孩童，沒有男人，沒有婦女得不到醫療保健的美國的那天，我們就是生活在一個更加強大的美國里。那就是為何，我們必須幫助奧巴馬去成為總統。

We'll have to work hard to get back to fiscal responsibility and a strong middle class.But on the day we live in an America whose middle class is thriving and growing again, where all Americans, no matter where they live or where their ancestors came from, can earn a decent living, we will live in a stronger America, and that is why we must elect Barack Obama our president.(APPLAUSE)

我們將全力以赴，重掌財政責任和一個強勢的中產階級。一旦到了美國出現中產階級再次繁榮成長，不管他們或者他們的祖先來自何方，能得到一個體面收入的那天，我們就是生活在一個更加強大的美國里。那就是為何，我們必須幫助奧巴馬去成為總統。

We'll have to work hard to foster the innovation that makes us energy-independent and lift the threat of global warming from our children's future.But on the day we live in an America fueled by renewable energy, we will live in a stronger America.That's why we have to help elect Barack Obama our president.(APPLAUSE)

我們將全力以赴，鼓勵創新，以使能源需求獨立，并讓我們的孩子遠離全球變曖的威脅。一旦到了美國使用了可再生能源的那天，我們就是生活在一個更加強大的美國里。那就是為何，我們必須幫助奧巴馬去成為總統

We'll have to work hard to bring our troops home from Iraq,and get them the support they've earned by their service.But on the day we live in an America that's as loyal to our troops as they have been to us,we will live in astronger America and that is why we must help elect Barack Obama our President.(APPLAUSE)

我們必須要繼續奮斗，實現從伊拉克撤軍，并讓他們獲得應有的支持。直到有一天，美國人對軍隊像軍人們對我們那樣忠誠，那將是一個更為強大的美國。這也是為什么我們要選擇奧巴馬做我們的總統的原因。

This election is aturning point election and it is critical that we all understand what our choice really is.Will we go forward together or will we stall and slip backwards.Think how much progress we have already made.這場選舉具有決定性的意義。我們都理解我們的選擇有多么重要。我們將會繼續前進，抑或是停滯后退？現在，想想我們已經實現了多大的進步。

When we first started,people everywhere asked the same questions：Could awoman really serve as Commander-in-Chief?Well,I think we answered that one.(APPLAUSE)

我們剛開始的時候，到處都有人在問同樣的問題——女人能夠領導國家嗎？我想，答案已經很清楚了。

And could an African American really be our President?Senator Obama has answered that one.(APPLAUSE)Together Senator Obama and Iachieved milestones essential to our progress as anation,part of our perpetual duty to form amore perfect union.現在，想想我們已經實現了多大的進步。我們剛開始的時候，到處都有人在問同樣的問題——女人能夠領導國家嗎？我想，答案已經很清楚了。

非裔美國人能做我們的總統嗎？奧巴馬參議員同樣給了我們答案。

奧巴馬參議員和我一同達到我們國家歷史上的里程碑，這是我們建立更完美聯盟的恒久使命的一部分。Now,on a personal note– when I was asked what it means to be awoman running for President,I always gave the same answer：that I was proud to be running as a woman but I was running because I thought I'd be the best President(APPLAUSE)

就我個人而言，在我曾被問到參與競選總統對一個女人意味著什么時，我總是給出同樣的答案——我很驕傲我能作為女人去競選總統，但是，我參與競選是因為我認為我將是最棒的總統。

.But I am a woman,and like millions of women,I know there are still barriers and biases out there,often unconscious.I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.(APPLAUSE)

然而，我是一個女人，和其他許許多多的女人一樣，我知道社會上依然存在著障礙與偏見，很多時候甚至是潛意識的。因而，我想要美國成為一個尊重并能夠使每個人的潛力得到發揮的地方。

I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of.I ran as a mother who worries about my daughter's future and a mother who wants to lead all children to brighter tomorrows.我作為一個女兒，享有許多我母親從未夢想過的權利。我作為一個母親，又擔心女兒的未來，并想要給所有的孩子更光明的未來。

To build that future I see,we must make sure that women

and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and mothers,and that women enjoy equal opportunities,equal pay,and equal respect.(APPLAUSE)要實現這樣的未來，我們必須要確保每一個人——無論男女——都了解他們的祖母和母親們曾經的奮斗，并明白婦女享有平等的機會、公平的報酬和同等的尊重。Let us resolve and work toward achieving some very simple propositions：There are no acceptable limits and there are no acceptable prejudices in the twenty-first century.(APPLAUSE)

讓我們下定決心去解決這樣簡單的命題：在21世紀的美國不會有任何能夠被接受的限制與偏見。

You can be so proud that,from now on,it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories,unremarkable to have a woman in aclose race to be our nominee,unremarkable to think that a woman can be the President of the United States.And that is truly remarkable.(APPLAUSE)

從現在起，你可以如此驕傲，一個女人贏得主要大州的勝利很平凡，一個女人差一點贏得提 名很平凡，一個女人能夠成為美國的總統很平凡。而這一切是如此不平凡，我的朋友們。To those who are disappointed that we couldn't go all the way– especially the young people who put so much into this campaign-it would break my heart if,in falling short of my goal,I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.我想告訴那些因為我們不能走完全程而失望的人們，特別是那些為選舉傾注心力的年輕人，如果你們因此而喪失追求個人目標的動力，我會真的感到傷心。

Always aim high,work hard,and care deeply about what you believe in.When you stumble,keep faith.When you're knocked down,get right back up.And never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on.(APPLAUSE)

永遠要志存高遠，永遠要努力工作，永遠執著于你相信的。當你遭遇挫折的時候，堅持信仰。當你被打倒的時候，馬上站起來，不要聽從那些說你做到或你不應該繼續的人們。

As we gather here today in this historic magnificent building,the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting over head.If we can blast 50 wo men into space,we will someday launch a woman into the White House.(APPLAUSE)

今天，當我們在這里集會的時候，第50位飛離地球的婦女，正在我們的頭頂的天空環繞地球飛行。而如果我們能夠將50個婦女送入太空，那么總有一天我們也會將一個婦女送入白宮。

Although we weren't able to shatter that highest,hardest glass ceiling this time,thanks to you,it's got about 18 million cracks in it.(APPLAUSE)And the light is shining through like never before,filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be alittle easier next time.雖然這一次我們無法打破那最高、最堅硬的玻璃天花板，但是由于你們，它出現了1800萬道裂縫：光明從未像現在這樣耀眼，使我們充滿希望，確信下一次這條道路將變得更容易一些。

That has always been the history of progress in America.Think of the suffragists who gathered at Seneca Falls in 1848 and those who kept fighting until women could cast their votes.這已經寫入了美國的歷史進程。想想1848年在塞內卡瀑布集會的女權主義者和那些為婦女投票權奮斗終身的人們。Think of the abolitionists who struggled and died to see the end of slavery.Think of the civil rights heroes and foot-soldiers who marched protested and risked their lives to bring about the end to segregation and Jim Crow.(APPLAUSE)

想想那些沒能看到奴隸制終結卻為之奮斗的廢奴主義者們。想想那些冒著生命危險最終終結種族隔離制度的民權斗士和步兵們，還有吉姆?克勞法案。

Because of them,I grew up taking for granted that women could vote.Because of them,my daughter grew up taking for granted that children of all colors could go to school together.因為他們，我自然認為女性擁有投票權；因為他們，我的女兒自然認為不同膚色的孩子們能夠一同上學。

Because of them,Barack Obama and Icould wage ahard fought campaign for the Demo cratic nomination.Because of them,and because of you,children today will grow up taking for granted that an African American or awoman can yes,become President of the United States.(APPLAUSE)

因為他們，巴拉克?奧巴馬和我能夠為民主黨的提名進行激勵的競爭。因為他們和你們，今天的孩子們自然認為非裔美國人和女性能夠成為美國總統。

When that day arrives and awoman takes the oath of office as our President,we will all stand taller,proud of the values of our nation,proud that every little girl can dream and that her dreams can come true in America.因此，當那一天到來時，當一名女性宣誓成為總統時，我們可以站得更高，為這個國家的價值觀而自豪，為每一個小女孩都可以有宏偉的夢想并且這個夢想能在美國實現而自豪。And all of you will know that because of your passion and hard work you helped pave the way for that day.So I want to say to my supporters,when you hear people saying– or think to yourself–“if only”or“what if,”I say,“please don't go there.” Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward.(APPLAUSE)

你們都會知道，你們今日的激情付出和努力工作，鋪下通往那一天的道路。所以我要告訴我的支持者們：當你們聽到人們對你說或者你自己想“要是??”或者“如果??”的時候，你們一定不要那樣。浪費在后悔的每一秒都會阻止我們前進的腳步。

Life is too short,time is too precious,and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been.We have to work together for what still can be.And that is why Iwill work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next President.生活如此短暫，時間因而如此珍貴，糾纏在那些沒什么可能性的事情上賭注太高。我們要一起為能夠實現的事情攜手努力。我正是我全心支持奧巴馬參議員做下一任總統的原因。And I hope and pray that all of you will join me in that effort.(APPLAUSE)我希望并祈禱你們全都能加入我，以貢獻你們的全部力量。

To my supporters and colleagues in Congress,to the governors and mayors,elected officials who stood with me,in good times and in bad,thank you for your strength and leadership.感謝我在國會的支持者和同僚們，也感謝與我患難與共的公務員們，感謝你們的能力和領導力。

To my friends in our labor unions who stood strong every step of the way– I thank you and pledge my support to you.感謝一路支持我的來自工會的朋友們，我將一直支持你們。

To my friends,from every stage of my life– your love and on going commitments sustain me every single day.感謝我生命各個階段的朋友們，你們的愛和恒久的承諾伴我度過每一天。

To my family– especially Bill and Chelsea and my mother,you mean the world to me and I thank you for all you have done.(APPLAUSE)

感謝我的家庭，特別是比爾、切爾西和我的母親，你們是我的全部，我對你們所做的一切表示感謝。

And to my extraordinary staff,volunteers and supporters,thank you for working those long,hard hours(APPLAUSE).Thank you for dropping everything– leaving work or school– traveling to places you'd never been,sometimes for months on end.And thanks to your families as well because your sacrifice was theirs too.All of you were there for me every step of the way Being human,we are imperfect.That's why we need each other.To catch each other when we falter.To encourage each other when we lose heart.Some may lead；others may follow；but none of us can go it alone.感謝我杰出的競選團隊成員、志愿者和支持者們。感謝你們在這漫長而艱難的歲月里付出的時間。感謝你們放棄所有，離校或者離職，去到你們從未到過的地方，有時長達數月之久。更感謝你們的家庭，因為你們的付出也是他們的犧牲。感謝你們一路上堅定地支持我。雖然作為人，我們注定不完美，但這也正是我們需要彼此的原因，我們相互扶持走過困境，相互鼓勵走出沮喪。一些人領路，另一些人追隨，因為我們不可能獨自到達。

The changes we're working for are changes that we can only accomplish together.Life,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness are rights that belong to each of us as individuals.But our lives,our freedom,our happiness,are best enjoyed,best protected,and best advanced when we do work together.我們為之奮斗的改變只有通過我們攜手共進才能實現。人生、自由和對幸福的追求是我們作為個體享有的權利。但是我們的人生、我們的自由、我們的快樂只有在我們攜手時，才能被我們更好的享受，得到更好的保護，并達到更高的程度。

That is what we will do now as we join forces with Senator Obama and his campaign.We will make history together as we write the next chapter in America's story.We will stand united for the values we hold dear,for the vision of progress we share,and for the country we love.There is nothing more American than that.這就是我們加入奧巴馬參議員和他的陣營后要做的。我們一同創造歷史，一同書寫美國歷史的新篇章。我們將站在同一戰線，為我們珍視的價值觀，為我們共有的愿景，為這個我們所愛的國家。

再沒有比這更美國的了。

And looking out at you today,I have never felt so blessed.The challenges that I have faced in this campaign are nothing compared to those that millions of Americans face every day in their own lives.今天看著你們，我從未感到這么有福。我在競選過程中面臨的困難與你們在各自日常生活中面臨的相比，是微不足道的。

So today,I'm going to count my blessings and keep on going.I'm going to keep doing what Iwas doing long before the cameras ever showed up and what I'll be doing long after they're gone：Working to give every American the same opportunities I had,and working to ensure that every child has the chance to grow up and achieve his or her God-given potential.因此今天我要祈禱并繼續走下去。無論在面對公眾時，還是在日常生活里，我要繼續做我一直以來做的事情：努力使每個美國人和我用相同的機會，努力保證每一個孩子無論男女都有機會長大去實現自己的潛力。I will do it with aheart filled with gratitude,with adeep and abiding love for our country– and with nothing but optimism and confidence for the days ahead.我將帶著一顆感恩的心，對這個國家深沉的愛，和對往后日子的了關于自信繼續我的路。This is now our time to do all that we can to make sure that in this election we add another Democratic president to that very small list of the last 40 years and that we take back our country and once again move with progress and commitment to the future.Thank you all and God bless you and God bless America.這是我們盡全力去使另一位民主黨總統當選以充實過去40年來的短小名單的時候，這是我們將這個國家帶回正軌，再一次帶著希望與夢想向未來前進的時候。

感謝你們。上帝保佑大家，上帝保佑美利堅。

第三篇：希拉里中英文演講稿

Thank you.Thank you.Thank you, so much.Thank you, all.Thank you very, very much.Well, this isn't exactly the party I'd planned, but I sure like the company.And I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you,to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign,who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs,who scrimped and saved to raise money,who knocked on doors and made calls,who talked, sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors,who e-mailed and contributed online,who invested so much in our common enterprise,to the moms and dads who came to our events, who lifted their little girls and little boys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears,“See, you can be anything you want to be.”

謝謝你們，謝謝你們。

非常感謝你們。

感謝你們所有的人。

非常非常感謝大家。

準確地說，這并不是我計劃中的活動，但肯定地說，我喜歡大家的陪伴。

我想以表達對你們所有人的感謝來開始，所有傾注了你們的心血和希望的人、不遠萬里開車趕來站在街道兩旁揮舞自制的標語的人、靠精打細算地節省來籌集資金的人、敲門拜訪和致電的人、因談論我而有時與朋友或鄰居爭論的人、給我發過電子郵件和上網支持我的人、給我們共同的事業投資巨款的人、來到選舉現場把女兒或兒子舉在肩頭的媽媽爸爸們，并對孩子輕聲耳語，“瞧，只要你想，你可以做成任何事”。

To the young people like-a 13-year-old Anne Riddell from Mayfield, Ohio, who had been saving for two years to go to Disney World and decided to use her savings instead to travel to Pennsylvania with her mom and volunteer there, as well.To the veterans, to the childhood friends, to New Yorkers and Arkansans-who traveled across the country, telling anyone who would listen why you supported me.And to all of those women in their 80s and their 90s-born before women could vote, who cast their votes for our campaign.I've told you before about Florence Stein of South Dakota who was 88 years old and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside.Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot.She passed away soon after and, under state law, her ballot didn't count, but her daughter later told a reporter,“My dad's an ornery, old cowboy, and he didn't like it when he heard mom's vote wouldn't be counted.I don't think he had voted in 20 years, but he voted in place of my mom.”

年輕人們——比如13歲的來自俄亥俄州梅菲爾德的安妮·里德爾，她為了去迪斯尼樂園攢了兩年的錢，可后來還是決定用她的積蓄和媽媽一起來賓夕法尼亞做一名志愿者。

還有老兵們、小朋友們、紐約以及阿肯色州的朋友——你們千里迢迢趕來，告訴所有愿意聽的人你們為什么支持我，還有八九十歲的婦女，出生在不能參加選舉的年代里的婦女們，她們曾在選舉中投票。

我曾經提到過一位88歲來自南達科他州的弗洛倫斯·斯坦因，她在醫院的病床上堅持讓女兒弄來一份給缺席者的選票，她的女兒和一個朋友在她的床后掛上了一面美國國旗，并幫她填寫了選票。

她不久后去世了，可惜的是，按照州法律，她的選票不能生效，她的女兒后來告訴一位記者：

“我爸爸是一個粗人、老牛仔，當他聽說媽媽的選票無效時很難過，我記憶中他在近20年內從未投過票，可這次他替媽媽投了一票。”

So to all those who voted for me and to whom I pledged my utmost, my commitment to you and to the progress we seek is unyielding.You have inspired and touched me with the stories of the joys and sorrows that make up the fabric of our lives.And you have humbled me with your commitment to our country.Eighteen million of you, from all walks of life

-women and men, young and old, Latino and Asian, African-American and Caucasian rich, poor, and middle-class, gay and straight, you have stood with me.And I will continue to stand strong with you every time, every place, in every way that I can.The dreams we share are worth fighting for.Remember, we fought for the single mom with the young daughter, juggling work and school, who told me, “Im doing it all to better myself for her.”

We fought for the woman who grabbed my hand and asked me, “What are you going to do to make sure I have health care?” and began to cry, because even though she works three jobs, she can't afford insurance.所以，對所有給我投票的人們，對所有我發誓盡自己所能來為你們做奉獻的人們，對和我一起追求進步未曾屈服的人們，我向你們表示感謝。

你們的故事激勵著我，感動著我；故事有喜也有悲，它們構成了我們的生活。

在你們為國家所做的貢獻之下，我顯得無比卑微。

1800萬選民，來自不同行業的女人和男人、年輕人和老年人、拉丁血統和亞裔朋友、黑人朋友和高加索人民、富有的人、貧窮的人、中產階級、同性戀者或異性戀者，你們曾站在我這一邊。

我也將一如既往地堅定地站在你們的一邊，無論何時何地，用一切我所能夠做的方式。

我們共同的夢想是值得我們為之奮斗的！

請記住，我們曾奮斗，為那個有一個小女兒，拼命工作學習的單身母親，她曾對我說：“我做的一切讓自己變得更好，都是為了我的女兒。”

我們曾奮斗，為那個握住我的手問：“你會怎樣做來確保我能得到健康治療？”然后開始哭泣的女人，因為她盡管做三份工作仍無法承擔醫藥費。

We fought for the young man in the Marine Corps T-shirt who waited months for medical care and said,“Take care of my buddies over there, and then will you please take care of me?”

We fought for all those who've lost jobs and health care, who can't afford gas or groceries or college, who have felt invisible to their president these last seven years.I entered this race because I have an old-fashioned conviction that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their dreams.I've had every opportunity and blessing in my own life, and I want the same for all Americans.And until that day comes, you'll always find me on the front lines of democracy, fighting for the future.The way-the way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand is to take our energy, our passion, our strength, and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama, the next president of the United States.我們曾奮斗，為了那位身穿海軍T恤苦等了數月醫院治療的小伙子，他說：

“照顧照顧那邊我的朋友吧！能不能然后也照顧一下我？”

我們曾奮斗，為了所有失去工作、無法支付醫藥費、加不起油、買不起日常用品、上不起大學卻在過去的7年里不曾見到過總統做過些什么的人。

我參加此次選舉因為我始終懷著一個不入時的信念，那就是公共服務是用來解決人們的困難，實現人們的夢想的。

我已經盡可能抓住了我生命中的一切機會和賜福，我同時希望所有的美國人都能如此。

并且直到那一天，你將永遠看見我站在民主的最前線，為了未來而奮斗！

現在，能夠繼續我們的奮斗、實現我們堅持的目標的方法，就是竭盡我們的能量、激情、力氣以及其他所能來幫助選舉巴拉克，我們的下一任美國總統。

Today, as I suspend my campaign,I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run.I endorse him and throw my full support behind him.And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.I have served in the Senate with him for four years.I have been in this campaign with him for 16 months.I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates.I've had a front-row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit.In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American dream, as a community organizer.In the State Senate, as a United States senator, he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized.And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future.Now, when I started this race,I intended to win back the White House and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity and progress.And that's exactly what we're going to, by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on January 20, 2009.今天，我終止參加競選活動。

我要對所取得的勝利以及他在競選中取得的不俗成績表示祝賀。

我將在他身后全力支持他。

第四篇：米歇爾為希拉里拉票演講 中英文對照

Thank you all.Thank you so much.You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president.謝謝大家。非常感謝。很難相信，自從我第一次來這個大會并對大家講為何我丈夫應該當選美國總統已經8年了。

Remember how I told you about his character and convictions, his decency and his grace, the traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House?

還記得我是如何向你們講述他的品行和堅定信念、他正派的作風和他的魅力、以及他每天在白宮里為國家奉獻時，讓我們有目共睹的那些優點?

I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world.And during our time in the White House, we’ve had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women, a journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington.我還對你們講了我們的女兒，說她們是我們的心頭肉，對我們來說是世界的中心。在我們住在白宮的這段時間，我們有幸能見證她們從活潑的小女孩成長為泰然自若的年輕女性，這是一趟自我們抵達華盛頓后不久就開始的旅程。

可千萬別把心頭肉翻譯成flesh on my heart哦。

Have the joy of doing sth.的意思是“有幸能做什么”，并且表示很享受做這件事。

When they set off for their first day at their new school, I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those big men with guns.And I saw their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, what have we done?

我永遠忘不了她們第一天出發去新學校上課的那一幕，那是一個冬天的早晨，我看著我們的女兒出發，她們一個7歲，一個10歲，和那些荷槍實彈的大漢們一起擠進那些黑色的SUV。我看著她們把小臉抵在車窗上，而我腦子里唯一能想到的話是：“我們都干了什么?”

Set off for sth.的意思是“開始著手做某事”，也可以說set off for doing sth.比如：He sets off for building his own house.他開始建造自己的房子。

Up against和單純的against在大多數情況下可以互換，但當其中的up確實也表示“向上”的時候則不行。

See, because at that moment I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.我想說的是，因為在那一刻我意識到：我們住在白宮的這段時間將成為她們今后人生的原點，而這段經歷是將成就她們還是毀了她們都取決于我們如何經營這段人生。

當你想詳細解釋前面提到的東西的時候，可以簡單地用see開頭。

Make sb.是一種簡潔地表示“成就某人”的方式，使用這個表達方式的時候重音一般放在make上。不過make sb.的意義很多，既能是正面的，也能使反面的，要視語境來判斷如何翻譯。比如：You are my childhood idol.You made me.(你是我的童年偶像，是你成就了我。)里可以翻譯成“成就”;而I am a monster.But it’s you who made me.(我是個怪物。但是這都是你一手造成的。)里面就不行。

That is what Barack and I think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight, how we urge them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith.How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country.How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level.No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.這就是我們夫妻二人每天為女兒們所想的事，我們思考：怎樣在這種聚光燈下的非正常生活中，引導并保護她們，思索著怎樣讓他們面對其中的挑戰。我們思考怎樣勸導她們去無視那些質疑她們父親公民身份以及信仰的人。我們思考怎樣才能表明自己的立場，告訴他們電視上那些公眾人物講出的仇恨言論并不代表這個國家的真正精神。我們思考怎樣向他們解釋：當一個人表現得殘忍又霸道的時候，你不能自貶身價去和他撕扯。不，我們的座右銘是：用更高的高尚來回應卑賤。

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us.We as parents are their most important role models.And let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls, but the children across this country, kids who tell us I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school.Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope and he wondered, is my hair like yours?

我們知道，我們孩子在注視著我們的一言一行。我們，作為父母，是他們最重要的榜樣。而且我要告訴各位，我們夫妻二人在作為總統與第一夫人的時候也是這么做的，因為我們知道自己的言行舉止舉足輕重，它們不光會影響我們的女兒們，也影響著整個國家的孩子們：那些告訴我們、曾在電視上看到我們、并以我們為課程報告主題的孩子們，以及那個睜著充滿希望的大眼睛，抬頭看向我丈夫并想著自己的發型是不是和他一樣的黑人小男孩。

Utter的意思和speak一樣是“說”，不過它比speak要正式、書面很多。

Approach的意思是“方法、途徑”，和means是一樣的意思。

Matter在這里的用法和it doesn’t matter里是一樣的，表示“舉足輕重”，意思基本等同于make a difference。

表達“全國”可以用across the country、all over the country、throughout the country.And make no mistake about it, this November when we go to the polls that is what we’re deciding, not Democrat or Republican, not left or right.No, in this election and every election is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives.而且，請大家想明白，這才是我們今年11月投票時將要決定的，并非只是民主黨和共和黨的區別，并非只是左翼和右翼的區別。不，這場選舉，以及所有選舉所決定的，是未來4到8年將由誰來塑造我們的孩子。

Shape除了眾所周知的名詞意義，也可以作為動詞“塑造”來用。Shape your future.塑造你的未來。

And I am here tonight because in this election there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.而我今晚出現在這里的原因是：在這場選舉中，我只愿將此重任托付給一個人，我認為只有這個人才真正能夠勝任美國總統一職，而她就是我們的朋友希拉里·克靈頓。

Trust sb.with sth.可以表示“在某件事上相信某人”，如：I trust you with what you do.(我信任你的專業能力)。也可以表示“將某件東西托付給某人”，如：I’ll trust you with my money.(我會將我的錢托付給你)。

Be qualified to do sth.的意思是“有資格做什么”，而且他強調的是“因為達到了怎樣標準、擁有了怎樣的品質，所以有資格”。

That’s right.See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children, not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion, kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs, kids who wonder how they’ll ever afford college, kids whose parents don’t speak a word of English, but dream of a better life, kids who look to us to determine who and what they can be.對。就是這樣，我相信希拉里能領導這個國家，因為我看到她將一生都奉獻給了我們國家的孩子們，不光只是她那被她培養到完美的女兒，而是所有的孩子們，是那些需要一個捍衛者的孩子們，是那些為了躲避地區幫派而繞遠路上學的孩子們，是那些不知道自己怎樣才能負擔得起大學教育的孩子們，是那些雖然父母完全不懂英語自己卻夢想著過上更好生活的孩子們，是那些寄希望于我們來決定他們未來的孩子們。

Champion除了“冠軍”的意思還有“捍衛者”的意思，通常指的是“對一種理念、一種主義的捍衛者、擁戴者”。

Ever在這里是一種強調方式，是其“永遠”含義的引申用法。

Look to sb.to do sth.的意思是“指望某人做某事”，通常只的是：因為對方有某種自己不具備的能力，所以講希望寄托于對方。

You see, Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless, thankless work to actually make a difference in their lives, advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the Senate.如你們所見，希拉里在幾十年間一直任勞任怨地工作，為的是真正地使孩子們的生活有所不同。當她是個年輕律師時，她就為殘障兒童的權益發聲;后來她成了第一夫人，她為孩子們的醫療保障奔忙;在國務卿任上，她依然在為孩子們爭取高質量的保育環境。

And when she didn’t win the nomination eight years ago, she didn’t get angry or disillusioned.Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments.So she proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe.并且，八年前她競選失利之后，她并不惱怒，也沒有灰心喪氣。希拉里沒有打包走人，因為作為一個真正的公共利益服務者，她懂得這份事業比個人的欲望與失望重要得多。所以，她又挺身而出，以國務卿的身份為我們的國家服務，為孩子們的安全走遍全球。

And look, there were plenty of moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being picked apart for how she looks or how she talks or even how she laughs.But here’s the thing.What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.She never takes the easy way out.And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life.很多時候，希拉里都可以抱怨她的工作有多難，為人民付出的代價有多大，自己的外貌或言語甚至笑容時刻被人指責有多心累。可是，我最佩服她的一點，就是無論面對多大的壓力，她都不會垮掉，也從來不會偷懶。在她的世界里，永無放棄可言。

Take the easy way out的意思是“選擇更容易而非正確的道路”。

And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that’s what I want.所以，當我想象一個能為我的女兒和所有孩子帶來美好和希望的美國總統的樣子時，這就是我想要的。

I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands that the issues a president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.我想要一個真正有能力堅持下去的人，一個了解這份工作、嚴肅對待它的人，一個懂得總統面對的問題不是非黑即白，也不能短短歸結為140個字的人。

Take something seriously是最為常用的表達“嚴肅對待某事”的用法。

Be boiled down to表示“可以總結為”，也可以用主動形式：it boils down to。

Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can’t make snap decisions.You can’t have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out.You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.因為當核武器的發射密碼就在你指尖，并且手握著整個國家軍隊的時候，你不可以做出輕率的決定。你不能死要面子，也不能一戳就發火。你必須運籌帷幄、深思熟慮、見識廣博。

Snap的原意是“啪地一下”，經常將它用作形容詞來表示“草率的”，比如snap decision是“草率的決定”，snap shot是“草草拍攝的照片”。

Thin skin和中文里一樣是“臉皮薄”的意思，不過它在英文里的對立面并不是“厚臉皮”，而是“忍辱負重”。

Lash out的基本意思是“大量揮霍”，既可以表示“大量揮霍錢財”，亦可以像這里一樣表示“發火(大量宣泄情感)”。

I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase fame and fortune for ourselves, we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.我心目中的總統，要有從事公眾服務的紀錄，用畢生工作向孩子們證明，我們奮斗的目標不是追名逐利，而是讓每個人都有成功的機會。

And we give back even when we’re struggling ourselves because we know that there is always someone worse off.And there but for the grace of God go I.就算當我們苦苦掙扎的時候，也要回報這個社會，因為總有人的生活比你還艱難。我們沒吃他們的苦，是因為上帝眷顧。

單純使用worse就表示“這個人更差勁”，而加上off后表示“這個人的處境更差”。

But在這里不是表示“但是”，而是表示“若不是??就??”，后面的go I是倒裝。

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.我想要的總統，應當告訴孩子們，我們國家的每一個人都很重要。他要深信國父們數百年前的理念，人人生而平等，每一個人都是偉大美國歷史珍視的一部分。

Put forth a vision, 提出一個愿景。

Be created后面可以直接帶形容詞，用以表示“被創造成什么樣子”。

And when crisis hits, we don’t turn against each other.No, we listen to each other, we lean on each other, because we are always stronger together.當危機到來時，我們絕不分崩離析。我們互相傾聽，相互扶持，因為團結才會讓我們更加強大。

And I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president that Hillary Clinton will be.And that’s why in this election I’m with her.今晚我在這里就是想告訴大家，希拉里就會是這樣一位總統。這就是為什么在這場大選中，我站在她的一邊。

這里的兩個that中，第一個是賓語從句引導詞，第二個是指代她要形容的總統。

With在表示“和”的同時也表達出一種“支持、擁戴、站在同一陣線”的意思，同時它也可以用來形容兩個人處于情侶或夫妻關系，視語境不同翻譯不同。

You see, Hillary understands that the president is about one thing and one thing only, it’s about leaving something better for our kids.That’s how we’ve always moved this country forward, by all of us coming together on behalf of our children, folks who volunteer to coach that team, to teach that Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.她懂得作為一個總統，最主要的任務就是一件事，要為孩子們爭取更美好的未來。為了孩子而團結起來，我們的國家就是這樣不斷進步的。不論是志愿做學生隊教練的人，還是去當主日學的教師，他們都明白，培養下一代，需要整個國家的力量。

Village在這并不是“村子”的意思，而是“團體”的意思，it takes a village的意思是“這需要團結的力量”。

Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to keep passing down those blessings of liberty, police officers and the protesters in Dallas who all desperately want to keep our children safe.People who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, their daughter in that club.不同膚色和信仰的英雄們穿上制服，冒著生命危險將自由的福祉傳承下去。在達拉斯，警察和抗議者們都在拼盡全力地呼吁保護孩子們的安全。在奧蘭多，人們排著隊獻血，因為他們知道，那晚在酒吧的也可能就是他們的孩子。

Leaders like Tim Kaine who show our kids what decency and devotion look like.Leaders like Hillary Clinton who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in that highest and hardest glass ceiling until she finally breaks through, lifting all of us along with her.蒂姆?凱恩這樣的領袖讓孩子們懂得了什么是正直與奉獻。希拉里這樣的領袖擁有的勇氣和魅力，讓她一直沒有放棄，不斷地沖擊限制女性發展的那道最高最艱難的玻璃頂，直到她終于將其擊碎，并帶著我們一同提升。

Guts的意思是“勇氣”，它在口語中要比courage常用得多。

Glass ceiling, 玻璃天花板，是指工作中、社會上被認為設定的不可逾越的瓶頸，通常由歧視等原因造成。

That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight, the story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn.這就是我們國家的故事，是這個故事讓我今天站在這里。在這個故事中，曾有世世代代的人遭受著壓迫和束縛，被奴役的恥辱和被隔離的痛苦。但是他們始終懷揣著希望，不息地抗爭，所以今天的我才能每天在由奴隸建造的白宮里醒來，看著我的女兒們，兩個美麗聰敏的黑皮膚少女，與狗狗們在白宮的草坪上嬉戲。

Lash是“鞭打”，bondage是“捆綁”，這里他們在一起是指代奴隸制度。

And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.因為希拉里，我的女兒，和所有的孩子們，覺得女人可以當美國總統，這是理所應當的事。

So, look, so don’t let anyone ever tell you that this country isn’t great, that somehow we need to make it great again.Because this right now is the greatest country on earth!

所以，別再聽別人說我們的國家不夠好，我們要讓她變好之類的話。因為此時此刻，這就是世界上最偉大的國家。

And as my daughters prepare to set out into the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader who is worthy of my girls’ promise and all our kids’ promise, a leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.我的兩個女兒就要去闖蕩世界了，我希望能有一個領袖能夠配得上這個真相，值得托付我的女兒以及所有孩子們的前途，能用愛與希望，和我們寄予孩子的無限期望來指導其每一天。

So in this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best.We cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical.No, hear me.Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago.所以在這次選舉中，我們不能坐視著希望最后的結果是最好的，我們承受不起疲倦、沮喪或憤世嫉俗的代價。聽我說，從現在起到十一月份，我們要像8年前或4年前那樣，為之付出行動。

We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of our passion and our strength and our love for this country into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America!

我們要挨家挨戶敲門，讓更多的人來投票。我們要用盡我們對這個國家的每一絲熱情、每一份力量，和每一點愛，來推選希拉里?克林頓成為美利堅合眾國的總統!

So let’s get to work.Thank you all and God bless.讓我們行動起來吧。謝謝大家，上帝保佑。

第五篇：希拉里競選演講下載

希拉里競選演講下載

我們的戰斗還將繼續，我們的目標還沒有完成，讓我們繼續用我們的能力、我們的熱情、我們的力量、我們能做的一切，幫助巴拉克·奧巴馬，讓他成為美國的下一任總統，希拉里競選演講下載。

（掌聲）

今天，當我中止自己的競選活動，我向他祝賀勝利，為他的優異表現喝彩。我將支持他并會全力以赴。

（掌聲）

我要求你們所有人加入我，像支持我那樣地，全力支持巴拉克·奧巴馬。

（掌聲）

我在競選中，曾經同他面對面辯論了22次。我對他很了解，我親眼看到了他的力量和決心，他的優雅和勇氣。

在他的個人生活中，巴拉克·奧巴馬一直在努力實踐著美國夢想，他是一個社團的創始人，并在合眾國的參議院擔任參議員。他全力以赴去實現那個美國夢。在這次選戰中，他是那么有創造性的參與到這個民-主黨的活動中，為我們共同的未來努力付出。

當我開始參選的時候，我就下定決心要贏回白宮，從而確保我們能夠有一個將美國重新拉回和平、繁榮和進步的發展道路上的總統，演講稿《希拉里競選演講下載》。這就是我們現在要做的，我們要保證巴拉克·奧巴馬能夠在2009年1月20能夠順利步進白宮的橢圓形辦公室！

（掌聲）

現在我明白——我清楚大家都知道我們過去的斗爭很激烈，但是民-主黨是一個大家庭！現在是我們團結一致，凝聚在一起，為了我們共同擁有的理想、我們共同珍愛的價值和我們共同熱愛的祖國！

我們可能從不同的道路出發，但是今天我們又走在了同一條道路上。我們將向著共同的目的地前進，團結一致，準備更加的充分，去贏得11月的選舉從而扭轉我們的國家局勢，我們的國家現在在很多方面都危如累卵！

我們都需要一個能支撐美國夢想的經濟，需要能夠得到工作并取得報酬的機會，需要有足夠的經濟基礎，讓我們上得起大學、成得起家、買得起煤氣、食物和日用品，退休后有保障，每個月底都有些節余。我們需要一個能夠養活所有的人民，而且全體人民全體人民共享繁榮的經濟！

我們都需要一個高質量的，覆蓋全體國民的，每個人都可以負擔得起的健康保障體系….（掌聲）

…..那樣父母們才不至于要在是保障自己還是孩子的生活之間艱難的抉擇，或者說身陷無休止的工作中，為的只是能夠支付他們的保險費。

這不僅僅是我一個人的問題，這是一件需要我們傾注熱情的事業，這是一個我將繼續的戰斗直到每一個美國人的生活都有了保障，沒有例外，沒有借口！
