巴拉克·奧巴馬在艾奧瓦黨團會議選舉獲勝之夜的演講 Remarks of Senator Barack Obama: Iowa Caucus Night Des Moines, IA | January 03, 2008 Thank you, Iowa.You know, they said this day would never come.They said our sights were set too high.They said this country was too divided;too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose.But on this January nightyou have done what the cynics said we couldn't do.You have done what the state of New Hampshire can do in five days.You have done what America can do in this New Year, 2008.In lines that stretched around schools and churches;in small towns and big cities;you came together as Democrats, Republicans and Independents to stand up and say that we are one nation;we are one people;and our time for change has come.You said the time has come to move beyond the bitterness and pettiness and anger that's consumed Washington;to end the political strategy that's been all about division and instead make it about addition by--by bringing Democrats and Republicans together to get the job done.I'll be a President who ends the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas and put a middle-class tax cut into the pockets of the working Americans who deserve it.I'll be a President who harnesses the ingenuity of farmers and scientists and entrepreneurs to free this nation from the tyranny of oil once and for all.And I'll be a President who ends this war in Iraq and finally brings our troops home;who restores our moral standing;who understands that 9/11 is not a way to scare up votes, but a challenge that should unite America and the world against the common threats of the twenty-first century;common threats of terrorism and nuclear weapons;climate change and poverty;genocide and disease.Tonight, we are one step closer to that vision of America because of what you did here in Iowa.And so I'd especially like to thank the organizers and the precinct captains;the volunteers and the staff who made this all possible.And while I'm at it, on “thank yous,” I think it makes sense for me to thank the love of my life, the rock of the Obama family, the closer on the campaign trail;give it up for Michelle Obama.I know you didn't do this for me.You did this-you did this because you believed so deeply in the most American of ideasorganizing, and working, and fighting to make people's lives just a little bit better.I know how hard it is.It comes with little sleep, little pay, and a lot of sacrifice.There are days of disappointment, but sometimes, just sometimes, there are nights like thiswhen we rallied people of all parties and ages to a common cause;when we finally gave Americans who'd never participated in politics a reason to stand up and to do so.This was the moment when we finally beat back the politics of fear, and doubt, and cynicism;the politics where we tear each other down instead of lifting this country up.This was the moment.Years from now, you'll look back and you'll say that this was the momentwhere America remembered what it means to hope.For many months, we've been teased, even derided for talking about hope.But we always knew that hope is not blind optimism.It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path.It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight.Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it.Hope is what I saw in the eyes of the young woman in Cedar Rapids who works the night shift after a full day of college and still can't afford health care for a sister who's ill;a young woman who still believes that this country will give her the chance to live out her dreams.Hope is what I heard in the voice of the New Hampshire woman who told me that she hasn't been able to breathe since her nephew left for Iraq;who still goes to bed each night praying for his safe return.Hope is what led a band of colonists to rise up against an empire;what led the greatest of generations to free a continent and heal a nation;what led young women and young men to sit at lunch counters and brave fire hoses and march through Selma and Montgomery for freedom's cause.Hope-hope-is what led me here todaythat together, ordinary people can do extraordinary things;because we are not a collection of Red States and Blue States, we are the United States of America;and at this moment, in this election, we are ready to believe again.Thank you, Iowa

巴拉克·奧巴馬：今晚，此刻，我們相信

――參議員巴拉克·奧巴馬在艾奧瓦黨團會議選舉獲勝之夜的演講，2008年1月3日 巴拉克·奧巴馬 文 海星 譯

我衷心感謝艾奧瓦的公民們。

眾所周知，有人說這一天永遠不會到來。

有人說我們好高騖遠。

有人說人民異見紛呈，悲觀失望，不可能再為了一個共同的目標而眾志成城。

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

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

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

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

感謝你們。

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

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

我會是這樣一位總統(tǒng)：讓農(nóng)場主、科學家和企業(yè)家發(fā)揮他們的創(chuàng)造力，使我們國家一勞永逸地擺脫石油的主宰。

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

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

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

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

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

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

這一刻是勇往直前的人擊敗了華盛頓總是說戰(zhàn)無不勝的人的時刻。

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

這一刻是我們終于擊退恐懼、疑慮和犬儒主義政治的一刻，是我們用國家攜手向上替代政客相互踐踏的政治的一刻。這是我們期待的那一刻。數(shù)年后，遙想往事，你們也許會說，就是這一刻，在這個地方——美國人民記起希望究竟意味這什么。

幾個月以來，我們因為談論希望而遭到挖苦，甚至嘲弄。

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

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

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

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

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

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

演講稿一些解釋

1）1月4日，艾奧瓦舉行2008年總統(tǒng)選舉全國第一次預選－－政黨黨團選舉會議。奧巴馬出奇制勝。這篇演講是他在獲勝后發(fā)表的講話。在場聽到他演講的和后來看到他的演講稿的美國學者、官員和普通人先后提出奧巴馬不僅僅是一個候選人，他是一場運動。

2）奧巴馬試圖借艾奧瓦的東風在1月11日的新罕布什爾州的預選中擊敗對手希拉里·克林頓。當時的民調(diào)也顯示奧巴馬領先克林頓。但是，由于比爾·克林頓對奧巴馬的攻擊和希拉里·克林頓的第一次流淚，選民開始出現(xiàn)搖擺。最終希拉里在新罕布什爾獲勝。

3）奧巴馬本科畢業(yè)于哥倫比亞大學，之后在哈佛大學法學院獲得法學博士。奧巴馬的妻子米歇爾在芝加哥大學任職。他們有兩個女兒。

4）奧巴馬的父親來自肯尼亞，據(jù)說是目前肯尼亞反對黨領袖奧丁加的叔叔。他在夏威夷讀書時認識了那里的研究生，奧巴馬的母親。奧巴馬兩歲的時候，他父親返回非洲。

5）紅州指共和黨控制的州，藍州指民主黨勢力大的州。6）“希望引領青年男女為了自由圍坐在（不向黑人提供服務）的餐桌旁，引領他們勇敢地面對高壓水龍，穿越（阿拉巴馬州的）塞爾瑪和蒙哥馬利?！边@句話是指60年代黑人為了抵抗種族隔離舉行的示威、靜坐和游行。

My fellow citizens:

我的同胞們：

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.今天我站在這里，看到眼前面臨的重大任務，深感卑微。我感謝你們對我的信任，也知道先輩們?yōu)榱诉@個國家所作的犧牲。我要感謝布什總統(tǒng)為國家做出的貢獻，以及感謝他在兩屆政府過渡期間給與的慷慨協(xié)作。

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace.Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms.At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.迄今為止，已經(jīng)有44個美國總統(tǒng)宣誓就職。總統(tǒng)的宣誓有時面對的是國家的和平繁榮，但通常面臨的是烏云密布的緊張形勢。在緊張的形勢中，支持美國前進的不僅僅是領導人的能力和遠見，也在于美國人民對國家先驅(qū)者理想的信仰，以及對美國立國文件的忠誠。

So it has been.So it must be with this generation of Americans.前輩們?nèi)绱?，我們這一代美國人也要如此。

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood.Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.Homes have been lost;jobs shed;businesses shuttered.Our healthcare is too costly;our schools fail too many;and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.現(xiàn)在我們都深知，我們身處危機之中。我們的國家在戰(zhàn)斗，對手是影響深遠的暴力和憎恨；國家的經(jīng)濟也受到嚴重的削弱，原因雖有一些人的貪婪和不負責任，但更為重要的是我們作為一個整體在一些重大問題上決策失誤，同時也未能做好應對新時代的準備。我們的人民正在失去家園，失去工作，很多企業(yè)倒閉。社會的醫(yī)療過于昂貴、學校教育讓許多人失望，而且每天都會有新的證據(jù)顯示，我們利用能源的方式助長了我們的敵對勢力，同時也威脅著我們的星球。

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics.Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our landthey will be met.今天我要說，我們的確面臨著很多嚴峻的挑戰(zhàn)，而且在短期內(nèi)不大可能輕易解決。但是我們要相信，我們一定會度過難關。

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.今天，我們在這里齊聚一堂，因為我們戰(zhàn)勝恐懼選擇了希望，摒棄了沖突和矛盾而選擇了團結。

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.今天，我們宣布要為無謂的摩擦、不實的承諾和指責畫上句號，我們要打破牽制美國政治發(fā)展的若干陳舊教條。

We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.The

time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit;to choose our better history;to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.美國仍是一個年輕的國家，借用《圣經(jīng)》的話說，放棄幼稚的時代已經(jīng)到來了。重拾堅韌精神的時代已經(jīng)到來，我們要為歷史作出更好的選擇，我們要秉承歷史賦予的寶貴權利，秉承那種代代相傳的高貴理念：上帝賦予我們每個人以平等和自由，以及每個人盡全力去追求幸福的機會。

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given.It must be earned.Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less.It has not been the path for the faint-heartedsome celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.在重申我們國家偉大之處的同時，我們深知偉大從來不是上天賜予的，偉大需要努力贏得。（我們的民族一路走來），這旅途之中從未有過捷徑或者妥協(xié)，這旅途也不適合膽怯之人、或者愛安逸勝過愛工作之人、或者單單追求名利之人。這條路是勇于承擔風險者之路，是實干家、創(chuàng)造者之路。這其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人卻在默默無聞地工作著。正是這些人帶領我們走過了漫長崎嶇的旅行，帶領我們走向富強和自由。

For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the west;endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg;Normandy and Khe Sahn.為了我們，先輩們帶著微薄的細軟，橫渡大洋，尋找新生活；為了我們，先輩們?nèi)倘柝撝?，用血汗?jié)茶T工廠；為了我們，先輩們在荒蕪的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他鄉(xiāng)；為了我們，先輩們奔赴（獨立戰(zhàn)爭中的）康科德城和葛底斯堡、（二戰(zhàn)中的）諾曼底、（越戰(zhàn)中的）Khe Sahn，他們征戰(zhàn)、死去。

Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life.They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions;greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.一次又一次，我們的先輩們戰(zhàn)斗著、犧牲著、操勞著，只為了我們可以生活得更好。在他們看來，美國的強盛與偉大超越了個人雄心，也超越了個人的出身、貧富和派別差異。

This is the journey we continue today.We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth.Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began.Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year.Our capacity remains undiminished.But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisionsnot only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise healthcare's quality and lower its cost.We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.All this we can do.And all this we will do.我目之所及，都有工作有待完成。國家的經(jīng)濟情況要求我們采取大膽且快速的行動，我們的確是要行動，不僅是要創(chuàng)造就業(yè)，更要為（下一輪經(jīng)濟）增長打下新的基礎。我們將造橋鋪路，為企業(yè)鋪設電網(wǎng)和數(shù)字線路，將我們聯(lián)系在一起。我們將回歸科學，運用科技的奇跡提高醫(yī)療質(zhì)量，降低醫(yī)療費用。我們將利用風能、太陽能和土壤驅(qū)動車輛，為工廠提供能源。我們將改革中小學以及大專院校，以適應新時代的要求。這一切，我們都能做到，而且我們都將會做到。

Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitionsthat the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it worksto spend wisely, reform bad habits and do our business in the light of dayand that a nation cannot prosper long when it favours only the prosperous.The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach f;on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing hearteven greater cooperation and understanding between nations.We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan.With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet.We will not apologise for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defence, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken;you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.我們繼承了這些遺產(chǎn)。在這些原則的再次領導下，我們有能力應對新的威脅，我們需要付出更多的努力、進行國家間更廣泛的合作以及增進國家間的理解。首先，我們將以負責任的態(tài)度，將伊拉克交還給伊拉克人民，同時鞏固阿富汗來之不易的和平。對于老朋友和老對手，我們將繼續(xù)努力，不遺余力，削弱核威脅，遏制全球變暖的幽靈。我們不會為我們的生活方式感到報歉，我們會不動搖地捍衛(wèi)我們的生活方式。對于那些企圖通過恐怖主義或屠殺無辜平民達成目標的人，我們要對他們說：我們的信仰更加堅定，不可動搖，你們不可能拖垮我們，我們定將戰(zhàn)勝你們。

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindusknow that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history;but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.對于穆斯林世界，我們將基于共同的利益和信仰，尋找更好的合作之路。對于那些在世界各個地方挑起沖突或一味批評西方不良影響的領導者：你的人民評判你的依據(jù)是你建立了什么，而不是破壞了什么。對于那些依靠腐敗和欺騙并壓制異議而追求權利的人們：你們站在了人類歷史的對立面。如果你們能張開緊握的拳頭，我們也將伸出友誼之手。

To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow;to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds.And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative

plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders;nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect.For the world has changed, and we must change with it.對于那些貧窮的人們，我們保證和你們一起建設繁茂的農(nóng)場和干凈的水源，滋養(yǎng)那些饑寒交迫的身體和心靈。對于那些與我們一樣相對富裕的國家，我們不能再對外界的苦難漠不關心，更不能繼續(xù)大肆索取世界的資源。世界必須改變，我們都必須改變。

布什2009告別演說（中英雙語對照演講稿）

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains.They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages.We honour them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service;a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves.And yet, at this momentit is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.當我們審視前方的道路時，我們會感激那些跨越千山萬水來到這里的人們。今天，他們有話對我們說，也是安息在阿林頓國家公墓里的先烈們時刻提醒我們的。我們尊敬他們不僅因為是他們捍衛(wèi)了我們的自由，更因為他們正是奉獻精神的化身；他們致力于尋找遠高于自身的生命真諦。而此時，在這個特殊的時代，我們更需讓這種精神長存。

For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies.It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours.It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.因為無論美國政府能做多少，必須做多少，美國國家的立國之本最終還是美國人的決心和信念。于防洪堤壩決堤之時收留陌生受難者的善意，于在經(jīng)濟不景氣的時候?qū)幵笢p少自己工時也不肯看著朋友失業(yè)的無私，正是他們支撐我們走過黑暗的時刻。消防隊員沖入滿是濃煙的樓梯搶救生命的勇氣，父母養(yǎng)育孩子的堅持，正是這些決定了我們的命運。

Our challenges may be new.The instruments with which we meet them may be new.But those values upon which our success dependsthese things are old.These things are true.They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history.What is demanded then is a return to these truths.What is required of us now is a new era of responsibilitythe knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.我們自信源于對上帝的信仰，上帝號召我們要掌握自己的命運。

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed-why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.這就是我們自由和信仰的意義，這也是為何不同種族、不同信仰、不同性別和年齡的人可以同聚一堂在此歡慶的原因，也是我今天能站在這里莊嚴宣誓的原因，而在50多年前我的父親甚至都不能成為地方餐館的服務生。

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled.In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river.The capital was abandoned.The enemy was advancing.The snow was stained with blood.At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:

所以，讓我們銘記自己的身份，鐫刻自己的足跡。在美國誕生的時代，那最寒冷的歲月里，一群勇敢的愛國人士圍著篝火在冰封的河邊取暖。首都被占領，敵人在挺進，冬天的雪被鮮血染成了紅色。在美國大革命最受質(zhì)疑的時刻，我們的國父們這樣說：

“Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it].”

“我們要讓未來的世界知道……在深冬的嚴寒里，唯有希望和勇氣才能讓我們存活……面對共同的危險時，我們的城市和國家要勇敢地上前去面對?！?/p>

America.In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words.With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come.Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter;and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.今天的美國也在嚴峻的寒冬中面對共同的挑戰(zhàn)，讓我們記住國父們不朽的語言。帶著希望和勇氣，讓我們再一次勇敢地面對寒流，迎接可能會發(fā)生的風暴。我們要讓我們的子孫后代記住，在面臨挑戰(zhàn)的時候，我們沒有屈服，我們沒有逃避也沒有猶豫，我們腳踏實地、心懷信仰，秉承了寶貴的自由權利并將其安全地交到了下一代的手中。考試大收集整理

Hi, everybody.大家好！

Restoring the idea of opportunity for all requires a year of action from all of us.Wherever I can acton my own, I will – and whenever I can ask more Americans to help, I’ll do that too.為所有人恢復機會的想法，需要我們大家在今年做出不懈努力，在我能獨自采取行動的地方，我會毫不猶豫地這樣去做——在我可以請求美國人民幫助的時候，我也會毫不遲疑地發(fā)出聲音。

In my State of the Union Address, for example, I asked more business leaders to take action toraise their employees’ wages.Because even though our economy is growing, and our businesseshave created about eight and a half million new jobs over the past four years, average wages havebarely budged.例如，在國情咨文中，我請求更多的企業(yè)領袖采取行動，提高員工工資。因為，盡管我們的經(jīng)濟正在增長，過去四年中，我們的企業(yè)已創(chuàng)造了八百五十萬個新工作，可我們的平均工資卻幾乎沒有增加。

So it’s good news that, earlier this week, one of America’s largest retailers, The Gap, decided to raisewages for its employees beginning this year.Their decision will benefit about 65,000 workers in theU.S.That means more families will be able to raise their kids, finish their studies, or keep up on theirbills with a little less financial stress and strain.所以，本周早些時候，美國最大零售商之一蓋普公司決定，今年開始為員工提高工資，這是個好消息。他們的決定將惠及約65,000名美國工人。這意味著更多的家庭，將能以更小的財政壓力和負擔，撫養(yǎng)孩子、完成學業(yè)或支付賬單。Gap’s CEO explained their decision simply – he said, ―[It’s] right for our brands, good for ourpeople, and beneficial to our customers.‖ And he’s right – raising Americans’ wages isn’t just agood deed;it’s good business and good for our economy.It helps reduce turnover, it boostsproductivity, and it gives folks some more money to spend at local businesses.蓋普的首席執(zhí)行官簡單解釋了他們的決定——他表示：―[這一決定]對我們的品牌是合適的，對我們的員工是有幫助的，對我們的客戶也是有益的?！钦_的——提高美國人民的工資，不只是件善事；它是件好事，有益于我們的經(jīng)濟。它幫助減少人員流動率、它提高生產(chǎn)力，它給人們更多的錢可以花到當?shù)仄髽I(yè)身上。

And as a chief executive myself, that’s why I took action last week to lift more workers’ wages byrequiring federal contractors to pay their employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour.正是出于這一理由，作為美國總統(tǒng)，我上周采取行動，要求聯(lián)邦承包商支付員工每小時至少10.10美元的合理工資，以此提高更多工人的工資。

In the year since I first asked Congress to raise the minimum wage, six states have passed laws toraise theirs, and more states are working on it as we speak.But only Congress can finish the joband lift Americans’ wages across the country.自我首先請求國會提高最低工資以來的一年中，六個州已通過提高最低工資的立法，就在我們談話過程中，更多的州正在完成立法程序。但是，只有國會可以完成這一工作，在全國范圍提高美國人民的工資。

Right now, there’s a bill before Congress that would boost America’s minimum wage to $10.10 anhour.That’s easy to remember –

―ten-ten.‖ That bill would lift wages for more than 16 millionAmericans without requiring a single dollar in new taxes or spending.But even though a majorityof Democrats, Independents, and Republicans across the country support raising the minimumwage, Republicans in Congress don’t want to give it a vote.此刻，就有一份把美國最低工資提高到每小時10.10美元的法案已送達國會。這很容易記住——―兩個10‖。不需要增加一美元的稅收或財政支出，這份法案將為1600萬美國人提高工資。不過，盡管全國絕大多數(shù)民主黨人、無黨派人士和共和黨人都支持提高最低工資，國會共和黨人卻不想就該法案進行表決。

Hardworking Americans deserve better than ―no.‖ Let’s tell Congress to say ―yes.‖ Pass that bill.Give America a raise.Because here in America, no one who works hard should have to live inpoverty – and everyone who works hard should have a chance to get ahead.勤奮工作的美國人民應該得到比―不‖更好的答案。讓我們告訴國會說―同意‖吧。通過這一法案！給美國加薪吧！努力工作的人，不應該生活在貧困之中——每位努力工作的人，都應該擁有獲得成功的機會！Thanks, and have a great weekend.謝謝！祝周末愉快！

In the Garden:Getting the Most Out of Mums

This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.People have grown chrysanthemums for more than two thousand years.Chinese and other Asian cultures make tea with the flowers.But mums also make bright and colorful gardens.One basic kind of mum is the hardy or garden mum.The other basic kind is the florist mum.The garden mum is better able to handle different growing conditions than the florist mum.There are many varieties of mums.The decorative mum is often seen in gardens.Another popular type, the quill mum, has long, straight petals like a tube or needle.Chrysanthemum blooms can be white, yellow, gold, red or other colors.The plants often grow to one meter in height.The soil should be kept moist but well drained so it does not get too wet.Newly planted mums should be watered two or three times a week, depending on conditions.Plants established in the ground may do well just with normal rainfall.In dry conditions they will need more water.Mums grow best in full sunshine.They produce colorful blooms when days get shorter and nights get longer.The life cycle of the plant depends on the amount of daylight.This is why experts advise against placing mums near nightlights or streetlights.The light may interfere with their normal growth cycle.The plants may develop buds too soon.In climates where temperatures fall below freezing, plant mums at least six weeks before the first frost is expected.That way, the plants will be well established for cold weather.Placing mulch around the plants can protect them from the cold.Doug Akers from the cooperative extension service at Purdue University in Indiana suggests straw or shredded leaves for the mulch.The material will also add nutrients to the soil.Some gardeners say the most beautiful presentation comes from planting mums close together.But they also advise leaving enough space between the plants so air can flow.If not, the chance of disease may increase.To get more blooms, gardeners pinch back the branches when new growth has extended to fifteen centimeters.Squeeze about five to seven centimeters off each branch.Pinch again when a branch grows another twelve to fifteen

centimeters.Stop pinching about one hundred days before you want the plants to bloom.And that's the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, written by Jerilyn Watson.You can find all of our reports with transcripts and MP3s at /20100629/22404.html

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(jīng)的殖民地上贏得了自己的命運；今夜，我們向?qū)崿F(xiàn)完美聯(lián)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(zhàn)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?nèi)阅苷褡骶?，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(zhàn)役，表示了我的祝賀。雙方的選戰(zhàn)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(chǎn)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(zhàn)士—喬·拜登。能有他做副總統(tǒng)。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(jīng)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(jīng)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(chuàng)造的歷史，以及這位感恩的總統(tǒng)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(jīng)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(xiāng)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(xiàn)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?shù)氐钠嚬驹黾恿艘粋€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(wèi)國的戰(zhàn)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(fā)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(shù)，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(chǎn)，繼續(xù)成為全球科技、探索、創(chuàng)新的領導者，有好的工作、新的產(chǎn)業(yè)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(wèi)，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(zhàn)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(yī)生、科學家、工程師、企業(yè)家、外交官，甚至是總統(tǒng)。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(xiàn)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(xù)續(xù)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(xié)，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(jīng)濟正在復蘇，為期十年的戰(zhàn)爭已近尾聲，一場漫長的競選現(xiàn)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(yōu)秀的總統(tǒng)。

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(yè)，而非我們自己的官位。

在接下來的數(shù)周、數(shù)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(jīng)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(shù)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(yè)中； 在寧愿自己少干些，也不愿讓朋友失業(yè)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(zhàn)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(qū)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(chǎn)，幸好醫(yī)保改革在保險公司停止支付，其醫(yī)療費用前數(shù)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(fā)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(fā)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(tǒng)身份領導的國家。

今晚，縱有我們所經(jīng)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(jù)，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(xù)奮斗，為中產(chǎn)階級創(chuàng)造就業(yè)、創(chuàng)造機會、創(chuàng)造保障。

我相信，我們能繼續(xù)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(xiàn)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(xiàn)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(xù)前進，向全世界昭示，我們?yōu)楹尉佑诘厍蛏献顐ゴ蟮膰摇８兄x你們，美利堅的人民們！上帝保佑你們！上帝保佑美國！

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(zhì)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(jīng)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(jīng)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(jīng)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(shù)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(tǒng)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(jīng)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(jīng)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(jīng)理大衛(wèi)?普勞夫(David Plouffe)、首席策略師大衛(wèi)?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?yōu)閷崿F(xiàn)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(nèi)，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(guī)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(jīng)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(shù)百萬的美國民眾，他們自動自發(fā)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(zhàn)－－兩場戰(zhàn)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(yī)藥費或是存夠錢送孩子上大學。我們亟待開發(fā)新能源、創(chuàng)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(nèi)實現(xiàn)上述目標，但我從未像今晚這樣滿懷希望，相信我們會實現(xiàn)。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(tǒng)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(zhàn)。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?nèi)匀话凑张f有方式行事，我們所尋求的改變不可能出現(xiàn)。沒有你們，也不可能有這種改變。

因此，讓我們發(fā)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(fā)的遺憾和不成熟表現(xiàn)。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(tài)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(fā)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(lián)系。對于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人，我想說，或許我沒有贏得你們的選票，但是我聽到了你們的聲音，我需要你們的幫助，而且我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。

那些徹夜關注美國大選的海外人士，從國會到皇宮，以及在這個世界被遺忘的角落里擠在收音機旁的人們，我們的經(jīng)歷雖然各有不同，但是我們的命運是相通的，新的美國領袖誕生了。那些想要顛覆這個世界的人們，我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們，我們支持你們。那些所有懷疑美國能否繼續(xù)照亮世界發(fā)展前景的人們，今天晚上我們再次證明，我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財富的規(guī)模，而是來自我們理想的持久力量：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(lián)邦會日臻完善。我們?nèi)〉玫某删蜑槲覀儗砟軌蛉〉玫囊约氨仨毴〉玫某删驮鎏砹讼Ｍ?/p>

這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項“第一”，也誕生了很多將世代流傳的故事。但是今天晚上令我難忘的卻是在亞特蘭大投票的一名婦女：安?尼克松?庫波爾(Ann Nixon Cooper)。她和其他數(shù)百萬排隊等待投票的選民沒有什么差別，除了一點：她已是106歲的高齡。

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(jīng)歷的種種：心痛和希望；掙扎和進步；那些我們被告知我們辦不到的世代，以及那些堅信美國信條──是的，我們能做到──的人們。

曾幾何時，婦女沒有發(fā)言權，她們的希望化作泡影，但是安?尼克松?庫波爾活了下來，看到婦女們站了起來，看到她們大聲發(fā)表自己的見解，看到她們?nèi)⒓哟筮x投票。是的，我們能做到。

當30年代的沙塵暴和大蕭條引發(fā)人們的絕望之情時，她看到一個國家用羅斯福新政、新就業(yè)機會以及對新目標的共同追求戰(zhàn)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(jīng)歷了最好的時光和最黑暗的時刻之后，她知道美國如何能夠發(fā)生變革。是的，我們能做到。

美國，我們已經(jīng)走過漫漫長路。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。但是我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐?。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(xiàn)在是我們回答這個問題的機會。這是我們的時刻。這是我們的時代－－讓我們的人民重新就業(yè)，為我們的后代敞開機會的大門；恢復繁榮發(fā)展，推進和平事業(yè)；讓“美國夢”重新煥發(fā)光芒，再次證明這樣一個基本的真理：我們是一家人；一息尚存，我們就有希望；當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。
