Hello, Chicago.If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.美國是一個(gè)一切皆有可能的地方,如果還有人對(duì)這一點(diǎn)心存懷疑,如果還有人懷疑美國奠基者的夢(mèng)想在我們時(shí)代是否還有活力,還有人懷疑我們民主制度的力量,那么,你們今晚正是對(duì)那些疑問作出了回答。
It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.在學(xué)校和教堂周圍所出現(xiàn)的前所未有的長(zhǎng)隊(duì)是答案,這個(gè)國家從未見過這么多的人前來投票,人們排三個(gè)、四個(gè)小時(shí)的隊(duì)來進(jìn)行有生以來的第一次投票,因?yàn)樗麄兿嘈胚@一次將會(huì)不同,他們發(fā)出的聲音可能就是那個(gè)差別。
It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.這是一個(gè)年輕人和年老人、富人和窮人、民主黨人和共和黨人、黑人、白人、西班牙裔人、亞裔、印第安人、同性戀和異性戀、殘障人士和健全人士所作出的回答。美國人向世界發(fā)出一個(gè)信息:我們從不只是一些個(gè)人的累加或者“紅色州”和“藍(lán)色州”的累加。
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我們是,我們永遠(yuǎn)是美利堅(jiān)合眾國。
It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.這是一個(gè)引導(dǎo)人們的答案,太多的人在很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間內(nèi)給他們說這個(gè)答案,以至于他們對(duì)此持憤世疾俗的態(tài)度,對(duì)我們是否可以再一次把握歷史的希望感到擔(dān)心和懷疑。
It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.已經(jīng)過去了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間,但是今晚,由于我們今天在這場(chǎng)選舉所采取的行動(dòng),在這個(gè)決定性的時(shí)候,變革來到了美國。

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.今晚早些時(shí)候,我接到來自參議員麥凱恩的一個(gè)特別有風(fēng)度的電話。
Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign.And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine.We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.麥凱恩在這場(chǎng)選戰(zhàn)中進(jìn)行了長(zhǎng)期和艱苦的努力,他為這個(gè)他所愛的國家戰(zhàn)斗了更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間,作出了更艱苦的努力。他為美國承受了我們中的大多數(shù)人無法想像的犧牲。由于這位勇敢和無私領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的服務(wù),我們的生活變得更好。
I congratulate him;I congratulate Gov.Palin for all that they’ve achieved.And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.我向他表示祝賀,我向佩林州長(zhǎng)表示祝賀,向他們所取得的成果表示祝賀,我盼望與他們共事以繼續(xù)這個(gè)國家在未來歲月的承諾。
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.我想感謝我在競(jìng)選旅程的伙伴,一位用心競(jìng)選的男士,一位為和他一起在斯克蘭頓(美國賓夕法尼亞州東北部城市)街頭一同長(zhǎng)大的男人和女子代言、經(jīng)常坐火車回特拉華州的男士,美國當(dāng)選副總統(tǒng)拜登。
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.如果沒有我過去16年最好的朋友、我們家庭的中堅(jiān)、我生命中的摯愛,我今天晚上不可能站在這里,美國下一位第一夫人米歇爾-奧巴馬。
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine.And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.薩沙和馬莉婭,我愛你們,我對(duì)你們的愛超出了你們的想象。你們已贏得了新的寵物狗,它將和我們一起前往新的白宮。
And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight.I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.盡管她沒能和我們?cè)谝黄?,但我知道,我的祖母和養(yǎng)大我的家人在看著我,我今晚很想念他們,奧巴馬當(dāng)選演講稿

我知道我欠他們的東西是無法計(jì)量的。我的妹妹馬婭、我的姐姐奧瑪,我其他的兄弟和姐妹,非常感謝你們對(duì)我的支持,我感謝他們。
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me.I am grateful to them.我的妹妹馬婭、我的姐姐奧瑪,我其他的兄弟和姐妹,非常感謝你們對(duì)我的支持,我感謝他們。
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best--the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.我的競(jìng)選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)-普勞夫,這位競(jìng)選活動(dòng)的無名英雄,他進(jìn)行了最好的政治競(jìng)選活動(dòng),我認(rèn)為這是美國歷史上最棒的。
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.我的首席策略師大衛(wèi)-艾克斯羅德,他一直是追隨我的伙伴。你們組建了政治史上最好的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì),是你們成就了今天,我永遠(yuǎn)感謝你們?yōu)榇怂鞒龅臓奚?/p>
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.It belongs to you.It belongs to you.但最重要的是,我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這場(chǎng)勝利真正屬于誰,它屬于你們,它屬于你們。
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington.It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.我從來不是最有可能獲得這一職務(wù)的候選人。我們剛開始并沒有太多資金,也沒有得到許多人的支持。我們的競(jìng)選活動(dòng)并非始自華盛頓的大廳里,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。那些辛勤工作的人們從自己微薄的儲(chǔ)蓄中捐出5美元、10美元、20美元。
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.競(jìng)選活動(dòng)因?yàn)槟贻p人的支持而越來越有聲勢(shì),他們拒絕了他們那一代對(duì)政治不感興趣的神話,他們離開家,從事那些薪水少而且辛苦的工作。
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people
奧巴馬當(dāng)選演講稿
Page 4 of 8
has not perished from the Earth.競(jìng)選活動(dòng)的聲勢(shì)也來自那些已不再年輕的人們,他們冒著嚴(yán)寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門進(jìn)行競(jìng)選宣傳;競(jìng)選聲勢(shì)也源自數(shù)百萬的美國民眾,他們充當(dāng)志愿者和組織者,他們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。
This is your victory.這是你們的勝利。
And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election.And I know you didn’t do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime--two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.我知道你們的所做的一切并不只是為了贏得選舉,我也知道你們做這一切并不是為了我。你們這樣做是因?yàn)槟銈兠靼浊懊娴娜蝿?wù)有多么艱巨。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艱難的挑戰(zhàn)——兩場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、一個(gè)面臨危險(xiǎn)的星球,一個(gè)世紀(jì)以來最嚴(yán)重的金融危機(jī)。
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage or pay their doctors’ bills or save enough for their child’s college education.就在我們今晚站在這里的時(shí)刻,我們知道勇敢的美國士兵在伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中醒來,他們冒著生命危險(xiǎn)來保護(hù)著我們的生命。仍有在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠的父母,他們擔(dān)心如何償還按揭月供、付醫(yī)藥費(fèi)或是存夠錢讓孩子上大學(xué)。
There’s new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.我們需要開發(fā)新的能源、創(chuàng)造新的工作崗位,我們需要修建新學(xué)校,應(yīng)對(duì)眾多威脅、修復(fù)與許多國家的盟友關(guān)系。
The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year or even in one term.But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.前方的道路將很漫長(zhǎng),我們攀登的腳步會(huì)很艱辛。我們可能無法在一年甚至一個(gè)任期內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo),但我從未像今晚這樣滿懷希望,我們將實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的目標(biāo)。
I promise you, we as a people will get there.我向你們承諾——我們作為一個(gè)整體將會(huì)達(dá)成目標(biāo)。
奧巴馬當(dāng)選演講稿

There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president.And we know the government can’t solve every problem.我們會(huì)遭遇挫折和不成功的起步。我作為總統(tǒng)所做的每項(xiàng)決定或政策,會(huì)有許多人持有異議,我們也知道,政府不能解決所有問題。
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years--block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.但我將總是會(huì)向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會(huì)聽取你們的意見,尤其是存在不同意見的時(shí)候。最重要的是,我會(huì)請(qǐng)求你們參與重建這個(gè)國家,以美國221年來從未改變的唯一方式-一磚一瓦、同心協(xié)力。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek.It is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.21個(gè)月前在寒冬所開始的一切不應(yīng)當(dāng)在今天這個(gè)秋夜結(jié)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(jìn)行改變的機(jī)會(huì)。如果我們?nèi)匀话凑者^去的方式行事,我們所尋求的改變將不會(huì)發(fā)生。
It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.沒有你們,沒有服務(wù)和犧牲的新精神,就不可能發(fā)生改變。
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.因此,讓我們發(fā)揚(yáng)新的愛國和負(fù)責(zé)精神,所有的人都下定決心參與其中,更加努力地工作,不僅是為自己而是為彼此。讓我們記住這一點(diǎn),如果說這場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)教會(huì)了我們什么東西的話,那就是我們不可能在金融以外的領(lǐng)域處于困境的同時(shí)擁有繁榮興旺的華爾街。
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people.Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.在這個(gè)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(zhǎng)期深受毒害的黨派紛爭(zhēng)、小題大作、不成熟的表現(xiàn)。
Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.奧巴馬當(dāng)選演講稿
Page 6 of 8
讓我們記住,是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的旗幟扛到了白宮。共和黨是建立在自立、個(gè)人自由以及國家團(tuán)結(jié)的價(jià)值觀之上的。
Those are values that we all share.And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.這也是我們所有人共同的價(jià)值觀。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(jìn)步的分歧的決心贏得這場(chǎng)勝利的。
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends.Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.林肯在向遠(yuǎn)比我們眼下分歧更大的國家發(fā)表講話時(shí)說,我們不是敵人,而是朋友??雖然激情可能會(huì)褪去,但這不會(huì)割斷我們感情上的聯(lián)系。
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices.I need your help.And I will be your president, too.對(duì)于那些現(xiàn)在沒有投票給我的美國人,我想說,我可能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)。
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.對(duì)于那些徹夜關(guān)注美國大選的海外人士,從國會(huì)到皇宮,以及在被遺忘的角落里擠在收音機(jī)旁的人們,我們的經(jīng)歷雖然各有不同,但是我們的命運(yùn)是一樣的,新的美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層已產(chǎn)生了。
To those--to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.那些想要顛覆這個(gè)世界的人們,我們將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們,我們支持你們。那些所有懷疑美國的燈塔能否能像以前一樣明亮的人們,今天晚上我們?cè)俅巫C明,我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財(cái)富的規(guī)模,而是來自我們理想的持久力量:民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)、不屈服的希望。
That’s the true genius of America: that America can change.Our union can be perfected.What we’ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.這才是美國真正的精華——美國能夠改變。我們的聯(lián)邦會(huì)日漸完美。我們現(xiàn)在已取得的成就為我奧巴馬當(dāng)選演講稿
Page 7 of 8
們將來能夠取得和必須取得的成就增添了希望。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項(xiàng)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。她和其他數(shù)百萬排隊(duì)等待投票的選民沒有什么差別,除了一點(diǎn):她已是106歲的高齡。
She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons--because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.她出生的那個(gè)時(shí)代奴隸制度剛剛結(jié)束;那時(shí)路上沒有汽車,天上也沒有飛機(jī)。當(dāng)時(shí)像她這樣的人由于兩個(gè)原因不能投票,首先她是女性,其次她是黑人。
And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America--the heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.今天晚上,我想到了她在美國過去一百年間所經(jīng)歷的種種:心痛和希望;斗爭(zhēng)和進(jìn)步;在那里時(shí)代,我們被告知我們辦不到,一些人繼續(xù)堅(jiān)信著美國的信念——是的,我們能做到。
At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes we can.婦女當(dāng)時(shí)沒有投票權(quán),她們的希望被挫敗,但是安-尼克松-庫波爾活著看到婦女們站了起來,看到她們站出來發(fā)表自己的見解,看到她們參加大選投票。是的,我們能做到。
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose.Yes we can.當(dāng)30年代的沙塵暴和大蕭條使人們感到絕望時(shí),她看到一個(gè)國家用新政、新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)以及對(duì)新目標(biāo)的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝恐慌。是的,我們能做到。
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes we can.當(dāng)炸彈襲擊了我們的港口、暴政威脅到全世界,她見證了一代美國人的偉大崛起,見證了一個(gè)民主國家獲得拯救。是的,我們能做到。
奧巴馬當(dāng)選演講稿

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.她看到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:“我們將克服阻力。”是的,我們能做到。
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes we can.人類登上月球、柏林墻倒下,世界被我們的科學(xué)和想像被連接在一起。今年,在這場(chǎng)選舉中,她用手指觸摸屏幕投下自己的選票,因?yàn)樵诿绹盍?06年之后,經(jīng)歷了最好的時(shí)光和最黑暗的時(shí)刻之后,她知道美國如何能夠發(fā)生變革。是的,我們能做到
America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves--if our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
美國,我們已經(jīng)走過了一條漫漫長(zhǎng)路。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。但是我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥R虼私褚?,?qǐng)讓我們自問--如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個(gè)世紀(jì);如果我的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長(zhǎng),她們將會(huì)看到怎樣的改變?我們將會(huì)取得什么樣的進(jìn)步。
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.現(xiàn)在是我們回答這個(gè)問題的機(jī)會(huì)。這是我們的時(shí)刻。
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope.And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.這是我們的時(shí)代--讓我們的人民重新就業(yè),為我們的后代敞開機(jī)會(huì)之門,恢復(fù)繁榮,推進(jìn)和平,重新確立“美國夢(mèng)”,再次證明這樣一個(gè)基本的真理:我們是一家人;只要一息尚存,我們就有希望;當(dāng)我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑,當(dāng)有人說我們辦不到的時(shí)候,我們要以這個(gè)永恒的信條來回應(yīng)他們。是的,我們能做到
Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.感謝你們。上帝保佑你們。愿上帝保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國。
第二篇:奧巴馬當(dāng)選演講 中英文
《奧巴馬當(dāng)選后演講全文》(中文版)
芝加哥的公民們,大家好!
如果現(xiàn)在仍然有人懷疑在美國是不是真的任何事情都可能發(fā)生,懷疑我們開國之父?jìng)兊膲?mèng)想是否還留存在這片土地上,懷疑美國民主的力量,今夜,就是你的答案。
在這個(gè)國家的學(xué)校和教堂中人們?cè)辜钡氐却鸢?,一些人甚至從未像今天一樣——等待?~4個(gè)小時(shí),但是他們知道這一時(shí)刻非同一般,他們的聲音也同樣非同一般。
在美國的土地上,無論是年輕人還是老人;窮人還是富人;無論是共和黨人還是民主黨人;無論是黑人、白人、西班牙裔、亞裔、美國原住民、同性戀、異性戀、殘疾人還是非殘疾人都發(fā)出同一種信息,我并非孤身一人。
我們是,而且永遠(yuǎn)都是美利堅(jiān)合眾國!
這一天我們等得太久了,但是今晚,因?yàn)槲覀冊(cè)谶@場(chǎng)競(jìng)選中、在這個(gè)地點(diǎn)、在此時(shí)此刻所做的一切,改變已經(jīng)降臨美國。
在今天晚上,我很榮幸地接到了麥凱恩參議員打來的電話。麥凱恩參議員在這場(chǎng)競(jìng)選中進(jìn)行了長(zhǎng)久、艱難的努力。而且,為這個(gè)他熱愛的國家,他奮斗了更久、付出了更多的努力。他為美國做出了超乎我們大多數(shù)人想象的犧牲,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)無畏無私的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人所付出的努力,我們才有了更好的生活。我對(duì)他表示祝賀,也對(duì)佩林州長(zhǎng)所取得的成果表示祝賀。同時(shí),我也期待著能在接下來的幾個(gè)月內(nèi),和他們共同努力履行對(duì)這個(gè)國家的諾言。
我想感謝我在這個(gè)旅程中的搭檔,一個(gè)全心全意參加競(jìng)選的男人,一個(gè)為同他一起在斯克藍(lán)頓(賓夕法尼亞東北部城市)街道長(zhǎng)大、一起坐火車到特拉華州的人們發(fā)言的男人,美國未來的副總統(tǒng),喬〃拜登。
在過去的16年里如果沒有朋友們的支持和鼓勵(lì),那么我今晚將不會(huì)站在這里……我的家庭的支持、關(guān)愛,美國的下一位第一夫人米歇爾〃奧巴馬,還有薩沙和瑪麗雅,我對(duì)你們的愛甚至超出你們的想象,你們將得到新的爸爸,和你們一起到新的白宮。
我卻再也不能陪伴我的外祖母了,但我知道她一直在守望著我們。我也十分想念我的家人和親戚,我知道自己虧欠他們太多,太多。我要感謝馬婭,阿爾瑪,以及我所有的兄弟姐妹,感謝你們對(duì)我無私的支持,對(duì)此我深表感激。還有,感謝我的競(jìng)選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)〃普勞夫。還有那些在競(jìng)選活動(dòng)中的無名英雄們,他們表現(xiàn)的很棒,是他們給美國帶來了一場(chǎng)最完美的大選,我想,這在美國歷史上是絕無僅有的。還有我的首席戰(zhàn)略師大衛(wèi)〃阿克塞爾羅德。他是我的伙伴,在我競(jìng)選的每個(gè)階段都給我極大的幫助,為我打造了美國大選史上最棒的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)。是你讓這一切發(fā)生了,我將永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)你為這一切做出的犧牲心存感激。但是最重要的,我將 永遠(yuǎn)無法忘記這場(chǎng)勝利真正的主人,這屬于你們,這屬于你們。
我曾經(jīng)是最不可能贏得白宮的候選人。在剛開始的時(shí)候,我們沒有多少錢,也沒有多少支持者,我們的競(jìng)選不是從華盛頓的大廳開始的,而是開始于艾奧瓦州得梅因的后院、康科德的客廳、查爾斯頓的前廳。是辛勤勞作的男人、女人捐給了我們他們微薄的積蓄,5塊錢、10塊錢、20塊錢。我們從年輕人那里得到了力量,他們拒絕服從同齡人冷漠的神話。為了工作,他們離開了自己的家鄉(xiāng),并與親人分別,可是他們拿很少的報(bào)酬,甚至連睡覺的時(shí)間也少的可憐。
那些并不年輕的志愿者卻擁有一顆火熱的心,為了大選他們?cè)诤L(fēng)中敲開善良的陌生人家的門,這就是為什么兩個(gè)世紀(jì)以來,我們?nèi)祟?,我們的政府沒有從地球上消亡的原因。
我想說,這同樣也是你們的勝利!我知道,你們不僅僅是為了贏得一個(gè)大選,也不僅僅是為了我。你們這樣做,是因?yàn)橹牢覀兠媲叭蝿?wù)的艱難。即使我們今晚在這里歡慶,我們?nèi)匀恢烂魈鞂?huì)帶來我們平生最大的挑戰(zhàn)——兩場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),一個(gè)處于危險(xiǎn)邊緣的星球、一個(gè)世紀(jì)來最嚴(yán)重的金融危機(jī)。
在孩子們熟睡后依然醒著的父親母親在擔(dān)心,他們?cè)鯓硬拍苓€清醫(yī)生的賬單,攢夠足夠的錢供孩子的大學(xué)教育。
新的能源要去開發(fā),新的工作崗位要去創(chuàng)造,新的學(xué)校要去建造,新的威脅要去面對(duì),新的盟友關(guān)系要去修復(fù)。
前面的路會(huì)很長(zhǎng)。我們的攀巖會(huì)很陡峭。我們甚至不會(huì)在一年、一個(gè)任期內(nèi)達(dá)到這個(gè)目標(biāo)。但是,美國,我從未比今夜更加相信,我們會(huì)達(dá)到這個(gè)目標(biāo)。
我承諾,作為一個(gè)人,我們會(huì)達(dá)到這個(gè)目標(biāo)。
以后我們還會(huì)面對(duì)挫折和謊言,我成為總統(tǒng)以后,也許有人無法認(rèn)同我的每一項(xiàng)政策和方針。并且我們也知道政府并非能解決一切問題。但是我會(huì)忠誠地和你們并肩奮斗,共同面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)。我依然會(huì)傾聽你們的聲音,尤其是我們之間存在分歧的時(shí)候。最重要的是,我會(huì)真誠地邀請(qǐng)你參與國家的重建,就像美國建國221年以來的歷史那樣——靠我們的雙手把國家建設(shè)地更為強(qiáng)大。
我們從21個(gè)月以前的冬天開始了奮斗的征程,但是我們的努力不會(huì)在這個(gè)秋天的夜晚結(jié)束。這次勝利并不會(huì)改變我們的探索之路,這對(duì)于我們來說是一個(gè)難得的機(jī)遇,我們決不能后退。我們不會(huì)退縮,因?yàn)槲覀儞碛型⒌木蜔o畏犧牲的精神。
讓我們重振愛國主義精神,承擔(dān)起自己的責(zé)任,我們將努力奮斗,互幫互助。
讓我們牢記金融危機(jī)給美國帶來的傷痛,我們?cè)僖膊粫?huì)讓華爾街繁榮的同時(shí),讓別的街受罪。
在這個(gè)國家里,我們與祖國的命運(yùn)緊密相連。讓我們自覺抵制黨派爭(zhēng)端和過于污穢的政治斗爭(zhēng)。
讓我們牢記在這條街道上高舉共和黨旗幟入主白宮的那個(gè)人(林肯),是他宣揚(yáng)了獨(dú)立和自主的精神,完成了國家的統(tǒng)一。
這些價(jià)值觀應(yīng)該得到繼承和發(fā)揚(yáng),今晚民主黨取得了勝利,我們必須保持謙虛的心態(tài),并下定決心完成后面的征程。就像很久以前,林肯對(duì)一個(gè)比現(xiàn)在分裂得更嚴(yán)重的民族所說的那樣,我們不是敵人,是朋友。
雖然熱情已經(jīng)被沖淡,我們的友愛紐帶沒有破裂。
同時(shí),對(duì)于我沒有贏得支持的民眾,我或許沒有得到你們的投票,但是我聽到了你們的聲音。我需要你們的幫助。我也會(huì)是你們的總統(tǒng)。
對(duì)于那些在另外一個(gè)海岸,從國會(huì)到王宮、到在被世界遺忘的角落擺弄收音機(jī)、關(guān)注美國今夜的人們,我們的故事并非只有一個(gè),但是目標(biāo)是共同的,美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的新的黎明已經(jīng)到來。
美國應(yīng)該變化,我們的社會(huì)應(yīng)該更完美。我們已經(jīng)取得的成果給了我們明天取得更大成果的希望。
這次大選有很多首創(chuàng)和許多故事,這些故事將代代相傳。但今天晚上我腦子里能想起來的就是一個(gè)女人,她剛剛在亞特蘭大城投了票。她跟成千上萬在這次大選中排隊(duì)發(fā)出自己聲音的人一樣,唯有一點(diǎn)例外:安〃尼克松〃庫珀已經(jīng)106歲高齡了。她出生在奴隸制剛剛廢除后的那一代,那時(shí)路上沒有汽車,天上沒有飛機(jī)。像她那樣的人仍不能投票,這因?yàn)閮蓚€(gè)方面的原因:一是她是女性;二是因?yàn)樗哪w色。
可今晚,我想她看透了一個(gè)世紀(jì)的美國——頭疼與希望;掙扎與發(fā)展。有人告訴我們,美國不行了,可美國人的自信卻回答:不,我們行!她曾經(jīng)生活在女性發(fā)不出聲音、希望破滅的時(shí)代,可她卻活著看到女性們站起來,發(fā)出自己的聲音,并且投下自己的票。是的,我們行!
當(dāng)饑餓來到,衰退發(fā)生時(shí),她看到了這個(gè)國家是如何以新政,新工作,和全新的共同目標(biāo)來戰(zhàn)勝恐懼的。
當(dāng)炸彈落到我們的港口,獨(dú)裁者威脅世界的時(shí)候,她親眼見證了一代人的崛起和民主得以挽救。是的,我們行!她去蒙哥馬利搭乘公共汽車,她去伯明翰面對(duì)水龍頭,她去塞爾瑪占橋……她聽來自亞特蘭大的牧師告訴大家:“我們能打破種族障礙”,沒錯(cuò),我們行!
今年,在這次大選中,她投下了自己的一票。因?yàn)樵诿绹盍?06個(gè)年頭,經(jīng) 歷了最好的時(shí)光與最難的歲月,所以她知道美國一定能改變。是的,我們行!
美國已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷了太多,我們看夠了太多,但我們還得做更多的事。今晚,讓我們問自己:如果我們的孩子們要活著看到新世紀(jì),如果我們的女兒們能像安〃尼克松這樣活到106歲,我們應(yīng)該有哪些進(jìn)步?我們應(yīng)該回答這個(gè)問題,這是我們的時(shí)代。
現(xiàn)在是我們一起開始工作,為我們的孩子打開機(jī)遇之門,恢復(fù)我們的繁榮,促進(jìn)和平,重回美國夢(mèng),恢復(fù)基本信任,以及其它許多事的時(shí)候了。我們應(yīng)該團(tuán)結(jié)如一人。我們應(yīng)該堅(jiān)定地回應(yīng)那些說我們不行的人,我們將以無窮的力量來回應(yīng)他們,然后說:是的,我們行!
感謝大家,上帝保佑你們,上帝保佑美利堅(jiān)!《奧巴馬當(dāng)選后演講全文》(英文版)
Hello, Chicago.If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.We are, and always will be, the United States of America.It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign.And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine.We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him;I congratulate Gov.Palin for all that they've achieved.And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine.And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight.I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me.I am grateful to them.And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best--the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.It belongs to you.It belongs to you.I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.We didn't start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington.It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.This is your victory.And I know you didn't do this just to win an election.And I know you didn't do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime--two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year or even in one term.But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you, we as a people will get there.There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president.And we know the government can't solve every problem.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years--block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek.It is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people.Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.Those are values that we all share.And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends.Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices.I need your help.And I will be your president, too.And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.To those--to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.That's the true genius of America: that America can change.Our union can be perfected.What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons--because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America--the heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes we can.When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose.Yes we can.When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes we can.She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes we can.America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves--if our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope.And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.9

奧巴馬北京演講稿(中英文對(duì)照)
奧巴馬(歐巴馬)和胡錦濤于11月17日在北京舉行聯(lián)合新聞?dòng)浾邥?huì),分別發(fā)表講話。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的講話全文,英語演講稿+翻譯。
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.I want to start by thanking President Hu and the Chinese people for the warmth and hospitality that they have shown myself and our delegation since we arrived.We had a wonderful day in Shanghai yesterday, a wonderful discussion with China’s young men and women, and I’m looking forward to the conversations we’ll have and the sights that we’ll see here in Beijing over the next two days.奧巴馬總統(tǒng):下午好。首先我要感謝胡主席和中國人民從我們到來后給予我和代表團(tuán)的熱情款待。昨天,我們?cè)谏虾6冗^了非常愉快的一天,同中國男女青年進(jìn)行了一次十分愉快的討論。我期待著我們今明兩天將在北京進(jìn)行的會(huì)談和景點(diǎn)參觀。
We meet here at a time when the relationship between the United States and China has never been more important to our collective future.The major challenges of the 21st century, from climate change to nuclear proliferation to economic recovery, are challenges that touch both our nations, and challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone.我們是在美中關(guān)系對(duì)我們的共同未來具有前所未有的重要性的時(shí)刻在這里舉行會(huì)晤。21世紀(jì)的各項(xiàng)重大挑戰(zhàn),無論是氣候變化、核擴(kuò)散還是經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇,都與我們兩個(gè)國家相關(guān),而且哪個(gè)國家都不能通過單獨(dú)行動(dòng)來對(duì)付這些挑戰(zhàn)。
That’s why the United States welcomes China’s efforts in playing a greater role on the world stage--a role in which a growing economy is joined by growing responsibilities.And that’s why President Hu and I talked about continuing to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship between our nations.這就是為什么美國歡迎中國努力在世界舞臺(tái)上發(fā)揮更大的作用——這個(gè)作用意味著伴隨經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展而增長(zhǎng)的責(zé)任。這也就是為什么胡主席和我都談到要繼續(xù)建立積極合作全面的美中關(guān)系。

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn As President Hu indicated, we discussed what’s required to sustain this economic recovery so that economic growth is followed by the creation of new jobs and lasting prosperity.So far China’s partnership has proved critical in our effort to pull ourselves out of the worst recession in generations.如胡主席所說,我們討論了要使經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇持續(xù)所必須采取的措施,以便使經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)帶來新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),實(shí)現(xiàn)持久繁榮。迄今,與中國的伙伴關(guān)系被證明在我們?yōu)閿[脫幾代人以來最嚴(yán)重的衰退所作的努力中至關(guān)重要。
Going forward, we agreed to advance the pledge made at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and pursue a strategy of more balanced economic growth--a strategy where America saves more, spends less, reduces our long-term debt, and where China makes adjustments across a broad range of policies to rebalance its economy and spur domestic demand.This will lead to increased U.S.exports and jobs, on the one hand, and higher living standards in China on the other.展望未來,我們同意推進(jìn)我們?cè)谄テ澅?0國集團(tuán)峰會(huì)上所作的保證,實(shí)施經(jīng)濟(jì)更平衡增長(zhǎng)的策略。根據(jù)這一策略,美國要增加儲(chǔ)蓄,降低消費(fèi),減少長(zhǎng)期債務(wù),而中國則要進(jìn)行各項(xiàng)政策調(diào)整以平衡經(jīng)濟(jì),刺激內(nèi)需。這樣,將一方面增加美國的出口和就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),另一方面提高中國的生活水平。
As President Hu indicated, we also agreed that maintaining open market and free flows of commerce in both our nations will contribute to our shared prosperity.And I was pleased to note the Chinese commitment, made in past statements, to move toward a more market-oriented exchange rate over time.I emphasized in our discussions, and have others in the region, that doing so based on economic fundamentals would make an essential contribution to the global rebalancing effort.如胡主席所說,我們還一致認(rèn)為,保持我們兩國市場(chǎng)的開放和商貿(mào)的自由流通將能增進(jìn)我們的共同繁榮。我很高興地注意到,中國多次表示了對(duì)逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)在更大程度上由市場(chǎng)決定匯率的承諾。我在雙方以及在與地區(qū)其他各方的討論中強(qiáng)調(diào),這樣按照基本經(jīng)濟(jì)原理行事將是對(duì)全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的重新平衡的重大貢獻(xiàn)。
President Hu and I also made progress on the issue of climate change.As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China 第2頁(共6頁)

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn and the United States.That’s why we’ve agreed to a series of important new initiatives in this area.As President Hu indicated, we are creating a joint clean energy research center, and have achieved agreements on energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner uses of coal, electric vehicles, and shale gas.胡主席和我在氣候變化問題上也取得了進(jìn)展。作為能源的最大消費(fèi)國和生產(chǎn)國,沒有中美兩國的共同努力就無法成功地應(yīng)對(duì)這一挑戰(zhàn)。因此我們同意在這一領(lǐng)域采取一系列新的重要行動(dòng)。胡主席已說明,我們將設(shè)立一個(gè)清潔能源聯(lián)合研究中心,我們還就能效、可再生能源、清潔使用煤炭、電動(dòng)車輛和頁巖氣等問題達(dá)成一致。
We also agreed to work toward a successful outcome in Copenhagen.Our aim there, in support of what Prime Minister Rasmussen of Denmark is trying to achieve, is not a partial accord or a political declaration, but rather an accord that covers all of the issues in the negotiations, and one that has immediate operational effect.This kind of comprehensive agreement would be an important step forward in the effort to rally the world around a solution to our climate challenge.And we agreed that each of us would take significant mitigation actions and stand behind these commitments.我們還同意為哥本哈根會(huì)議取得成果而努力。為支持丹麥?zhǔn)紫嗬鼓律≧asmussen)所爭(zhēng)取實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo),我們將不是致力于一項(xiàng)局部性的協(xié)議,也不是一份政治宣言,而是一項(xiàng)包含談判涉及的所有問題的協(xié)議,一項(xiàng)可立即運(yùn)作的協(xié)議。這樣的全面協(xié)議將使動(dòng)員全世界共同應(yīng)對(duì)氣候挑戰(zhàn)的努力向前跨出重要一步。我們同意,雙方都將采取重大的減緩行動(dòng),堅(jiān)定地履行這些承諾。
On the issue of nonproliferation, President Hu and I discussed our shared commitment to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and I told him how appreciative I am of China’s support for the global nonproliferation regime as well as the verifiable elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.在防擴(kuò)散問題上,胡主席和我討論了制止核武器擴(kuò)散的共同承諾,我向胡主席表示了我對(duì)中國支持全球防擴(kuò)散制度和可驗(yàn)證地消除北韓核武器項(xiàng)目的極大贊賞。

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn We agreed on the importance of resuming the six-party talks as soon as possible.As I said in Tokyo, North Korea has a choice: It can continue down the path of confrontation and provocation that has led to less security, less prosperity, and more isolation from the global community, or it can choose to become a full member of the international community, which will give a better life to its people by living up to international obligations and foregoing nuclear weapons.我們一致認(rèn)為盡快恢復(fù)六方會(huì)談是重要的。正如我在東京說過的,北韓面臨一個(gè)選擇:它可以繼續(xù)沿著對(duì)峙挑釁的道路走下去,結(jié)果只會(huì)是安全更少,繁榮更小,在全球社會(huì)中更加孤立;它也可以選擇成為國際社會(huì)的正式成員,恪守國際義務(wù),放棄核武器,讓自己的人民過上更好的生活。
In the same way, we agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran must provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent.On this point, our two nations and the rest of our P5-plus-1 partners are unified.Iran has an opportunity to present and demonstrate its peaceful intentions, but if it fails to take this opportunity there will be consequences.同樣地,我們也一致認(rèn)為伊朗伊斯蘭共和國必須向國際社會(huì)提供保證,保證其核項(xiàng)目是和平而且透明的。在這一點(diǎn)上,我們兩國和五常加一的其他伙伴國意見一致。伊朗有此機(jī)會(huì)展示和表明其和平的目的,但如果它沒能利用這次機(jī)會(huì),則將面臨后果。
President Hu and I also discussed our mutual interest in security and stability of Afghanistan and Pakistan.And neither country can or should be used as a base for terrorism, and we agreed to cooperate more on meeting this goal, including bringing about more stable, peaceful relations in all of South Asia.胡錦濤主席和我還討論了我們對(duì)阿富汗和巴基斯坦的安全和穩(wěn)定的共同利益。這兩個(gè)國家都不能也不應(yīng)該成為恐怖分子的基地。我們同意為達(dá)到這個(gè)目標(biāo)加深合作,包括在整個(gè)南亞建設(shè)更穩(wěn)定、和平的關(guān)系。
Finally, as I did yesterday in Shanghai, I spoke to President Hu about America’s bedrock beliefs that all men and women possess certain fundamental human rights.We do not believe these principles are unique to America, but rather they are universal rights and that they should be available to all peoples, to all ethnic and religious minorities.And our two countries agreed to 第4頁(共6頁)

As President Hu indicated, the United States respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.And once again, we have reaffirmed our strong commitment to a one-China policy.正如胡錦濤主席指出的那樣,美國尊重中國的主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整。我們?cè)俅沃厣陮?duì)一個(gè)中國政策的承諾。
We did note that while we recognize that Tibet is part of the People’s Republic of China, the United States supports the early resumption of dialogue between the Chinese government and representatives of the Dalai Lama to resolve any concerns and differences that the two sides may have.We also applauded the steps that the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan have already taken to relax tensions and build ties across the Taiwan Strait.我們的確指出,盡管我們承認(rèn)西藏是中華人民共和國的一部分,但美國支持中國政府與**喇嘛的代表早日恢復(fù)對(duì)話,以解決雙方存在的擔(dān)憂和分歧。我們也對(duì)中華人民共和國和臺(tái)灣已經(jīng)采取的緩和緊張局勢(shì)和建立海峽兩岸聯(lián)系的步驟表示贊賞。
Our own policy, based on the three U.S.-China communiqués and the Taiwan Relations Act, supports the further development of these ties--ties that are in the interest of both sides, as well as the broader region and the United States.基于美中三個(gè)聯(lián)合公報(bào)和《臺(tái)灣關(guān)系法》,我們自身的政策是支持繼續(xù)發(fā)展這些關(guān)系——這些關(guān)系有利于雙方,有利于更廣大的地區(qū)和美國。

奧巴馬北京演講稿(中英文對(duì)照)
奧巴馬(歐巴馬)和胡錦濤于11月17日在北京舉行聯(lián)合新聞?dòng)浾邥?huì),分別發(fā)表講話。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的講話全文,英語演講稿+翻譯。
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon.I want to start by thanking President Hu and the Chinese people for the warmth and hospitality that they have shown myself and our delegation since we arrived.We had a wonderful day in Shanghai yesterday, a wonderful discussion with China’s young men and women, and I’m looking forward to the conversations we’ll have and the sights that we’ll see here in Beijing over the next two days.奧巴馬總統(tǒng):下午好。首先我要感謝胡主席和中國人民從我們到來后給予我和代表團(tuán)的熱情款待。昨天,我們?cè)谏虾6冗^了非常愉快的一天,同中國男女青年進(jìn)行了一次十分愉快的討論。我期待著我們今明兩天將在北京進(jìn)行的會(huì)談和景點(diǎn)參觀。
We meet here at a time when the relationship between the United States and China has never been more important to our collective future.The major challenges of the 21st century, from climate change to nuclear proliferation to economic recovery, are challenges that touch both our nations, and challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone.我們是在美中關(guān)系對(duì)我們的共同未來具有前所未有的重要性的時(shí)刻在這里舉行會(huì)晤。21世紀(jì)的各項(xiàng)重大挑戰(zhàn),無論是氣候變化、核擴(kuò)散還是經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇,都與我們兩個(gè)國家相關(guān),而且哪個(gè)國家都不能通過單獨(dú)行動(dòng)來對(duì)付這些挑戰(zhàn)。
That’s why the United States welcomes China’s efforts in playing a greater role on the world stage--a role in which a growing economy is joined by growing responsibilities.And that’s why President Hu and I talked about continuing to build a positive, cooperative, and comprehensive relationship between our nations.這就是為什么美國歡迎中國努力在世界舞臺(tái)上發(fā)揮更大的作用——這個(gè)作用意味著伴隨經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展而增長(zhǎng)的責(zé)任。這也就是為什么胡主席和我都談到要繼續(xù)建立積極合作全面的美中關(guān)系。As President Hu indicated, we discussed what’s required to sustain this economic recovery so that economic growth is followed by the creation of new jobs and lasting prosperity.So far China’s partnership has proved critical in our effort to pull ourselves out of the worst recession in generations.如胡主席所說,我們討論了要使經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇持續(xù)所必須采取的措施,以便使經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)帶來新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),實(shí)現(xiàn)持久繁榮。迄今,與中國的伙伴關(guān)系被證明在我們?yōu)閿[脫幾代人以來最嚴(yán)重的衰退所作的努力中至關(guān)重要。
Going forward, we agreed to advance the pledge made at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh and pursue a strategy of more balanced economic growth--a strategy where America saves more, spends less, reduces our long-term debt, and where China makes adjustments across a broad range of policies to rebalance its economy and spur domestic demand.This will lead to increased U.S.exports and jobs, on the one hand, and higher living standards in China on the other.第1頁(共4頁)

山東世紀(jì)金榜書業(yè)有限公司
世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn 展望未來,我們同意推進(jìn)我們?cè)谄テ澅?0國集團(tuán)峰會(huì)上所作的保證,實(shí)施經(jīng)濟(jì)更平衡增長(zhǎng)的策略。根據(jù)這一策略,美國要增加儲(chǔ)蓄,降低消費(fèi),減少長(zhǎng)期債務(wù),而中國則要進(jìn)行各項(xiàng)政策調(diào)整以平衡經(jīng)濟(jì),刺激內(nèi)需。這樣,將一方面增加美國的出口和就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),另一方面提高中國的生活水平。
As President Hu indicated, we also agreed that maintaining open market and free flows of commerce in both our nations will contribute to our shared prosperity.And I was pleased to note the Chinese commitment, made in past statements, to move toward a more market-oriented exchange rate over time.I emphasized in our discussions, and have others in the region, that doing so based on economic fundamentals would make an essential contribution to the global rebalancing effort.如胡主席所說,我們還一致認(rèn)為,保持我們兩國市場(chǎng)的開放和商貿(mào)的自由流通將能增進(jìn)我們的共同繁榮。我很高興地注意到,中國多次表示了對(duì)逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)在更大程度上由市場(chǎng)決定匯率的承諾。我在雙方以及在與地區(qū)其他各方的討論中強(qiáng)調(diào),這樣按照基本經(jīng)濟(jì)原理行事將是對(duì)全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的重新平衡的重大貢獻(xiàn)。
President Hu and I also made progress on the issue of climate change.As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China and the United States.That’s why we’ve agreed to a series of important new initiatives in this area.As President Hu indicated, we are creating a joint clean energy research center, and have achieved agreements on energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner uses of coal, electric vehicles, and shale gas.胡主席和我在氣候變化問題上也取得了進(jìn)展。作為能源的最大消費(fèi)國和生產(chǎn)國,沒有中美兩國的共同努力就無法成功地應(yīng)對(duì)這一挑戰(zhàn)。因此我們同意在這一領(lǐng)域采取一系列新的重要行動(dòng)。胡主席已說明,我們將設(shè)立一個(gè)清潔能源聯(lián)合研究中心,我們還就能效、可再生能源、清潔使用煤炭、電動(dòng)車輛和頁巖氣等問題達(dá)成一致。
We also agreed to work toward a successful outcome in Copenhagen.Our aim there, in support of what Prime Minister Rasmussen of Denmark is trying to achieve, is not a partial accord or a political declaration, but rather an accord that covers all of the issues in the negotiations, and one that has immediate operational effect.This kind of comprehensive agreement would be an important step forward in the effort to rally the world around a solution to our climate challenge.And we agreed that each of us would take significant mitigation actions and stand behind these commitments.我們還同意為哥本哈根會(huì)議取得成果而努力。為支持丹麥?zhǔn)紫嗬鼓律≧asmussen)所爭(zhēng)取實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo),我們將不是致力于一項(xiàng)局部性的協(xié)議,也不是一份政治宣言,而是一項(xiàng)包含談判涉及的所有問題的協(xié)議,一項(xiàng)可立即運(yùn)作的協(xié)議。這樣的全面協(xié)議將使動(dòng)員全世界共同應(yīng)對(duì)氣候挑戰(zhàn)的努力向前跨出重要一步。我們同意,雙方都將采取重大的減緩行動(dòng),堅(jiān)定地履行這些承諾。
On the issue of nonproliferation, President Hu and I discussed our shared commitment to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, and I told him how appreciative I am of China’s support for the global nonproliferation regime as well as the verifiable elimination of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.在防擴(kuò)散問題上,胡主席和我討論了制止核武器擴(kuò)散的共同承諾,我向胡主席表示了我對(duì)中國支持全球防擴(kuò)散制度和可驗(yàn)證地消除北韓核武器項(xiàng)目的極大贊賞。

世紀(jì)金榜 圓您夢(mèng)想 004km.cn We agreed on the importance of resuming the six-party talks as soon as possible.As I said in Tokyo, North Korea has a choice: It can continue down the path of confrontation and provocation that has led to less security, less prosperity, and more isolation from the global community, or it can choose to become a full member of the international community, which will give a better life to its people by living up to international obligations and foregoing nuclear weapons.我們一致認(rèn)為盡快恢復(fù)六方會(huì)談是重要的。正如我在東京說過的,北韓面臨一個(gè)選擇:它可以繼續(xù)沿著對(duì)峙挑釁的道路走下去,結(jié)果只會(huì)是安全更少,繁榮更小,在全球社會(huì)中更加孤立;它也可以選擇成為國際社會(huì)的正式成員,恪守國際義務(wù),放棄核武器,讓自己的人民過上更好的生活。
In the same way, we agreed that the Islamic Republic of Iran must provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent.On this point, our two nations and the rest of our P5-plus-1 partners are unified.Iran has an opportunity to present and demonstrate its peaceful intentions, but if it fails to take this opportunity there will be consequences.同樣地,我們也一致認(rèn)為伊朗伊斯蘭共和國必須向國際社會(huì)提供保證,保證其核項(xiàng)目是和平而且透明的。在這一點(diǎn)上,我們兩國和五常加一的其他伙伴國意見一致。伊朗有此機(jī)會(huì)展示和表明其和平的目的,但如果它沒能利用這次機(jī)會(huì),則將面臨后果。
President Hu and I also discussed our mutual interest in security and stability of Afghanistan and Pakistan.And neither country can or should be used as a base for terrorism, and we agreed to cooperate more on meeting this goal, including bringing about more stable, peaceful relations in all of South Asia.胡錦濤主席和我還討論了我們對(duì)阿富汗和巴基斯坦的安全和穩(wěn)定的共同利益。這兩個(gè)國家都不能也不應(yīng)該成為恐怖分子的基地。我們同意為達(dá)到這個(gè)目標(biāo)加深合作,包括在整個(gè)南亞建設(shè)更穩(wěn)定、和平的關(guān)系。
Finally, as I did yesterday in Shanghai, I spoke to President Hu about America’s bedrock beliefs that all men and women possess certain fundamental human rights.We do not believe these principles are unique to America, but rather they are universal rights and that they should be available to all peoples, to all ethnic and religious minorities.And our two countries agreed to continue to move this discussion forward in a human rights dialogue that is scheduled for early next year.最后,如同我昨天在上海時(shí)一樣,我向胡錦濤主席談了美國的基本信念,即人人都有某些最基本的人權(quán)。我們不認(rèn)為這些原則是美國特有的,它們是普遍的權(quán)利。各國人民,各個(gè)少數(shù)民族和宗教少數(shù)派都應(yīng)該享有。我們兩國同意在定于明年年初舉行的人權(quán)對(duì)話中繼續(xù)推動(dòng)這種討論。
As President Hu indicated, the United States respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.And once again, we have reaffirmed our strong commitment to a one-China policy.正如胡錦濤主席指出的那樣,美國尊重中國的主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整。我們?cè)俅沃厣陮?duì)一個(gè)中國政策的承諾。

第五篇:奧巴馬獲勝演講稿(中英文對(duì)照)
今天奧巴馬就要正式上任并送走美國前總統(tǒng)布什了,似乎奧巴馬的獲選已是意料之中的事。雖然布什在在任的八年里做過許多“轟天動(dòng)地”的事也讓美國遭遇了一些歷史性的災(zāi)難事件,但仍有網(wǎng)友會(huì)開玩笑的認(rèn)為布什的離去會(huì)讓世界變得無聊許多,想想似乎也有些道理哦。奧巴馬似乎是第一個(gè)被美國民眾給予希望最大的總統(tǒng),當(dāng)然了,這主要?dú)w因于金融危機(jī)帶來巨大創(chuàng)傷。
拋去政治因素,從一個(gè)純粹的英語學(xué)習(xí)者的角度來說,我比較喜歡布什的美國口音,聽起來比較清晰平緩,而奧巴馬的口音就比較渾厚,聽起來較費(fèi)力。下面就是奧巴馬演講的視頻和演講稿,可以訓(xùn)練下英語學(xué)習(xí)者的聽力和口語。
雙語閱讀:奧巴馬獲勝演講全文(新東方譯文)Hello, Chicago!
芝加哥,你好!
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible;who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time;who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果有人懷疑美國是個(gè)一切皆有可能的地方,懷疑美國奠基者的夢(mèng)想在我們這個(gè)時(shí)代依然燃燒,懷疑我們民主的力量,那么今晚這些疑問都有了答案。
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen;by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.學(xué)校和教堂門外的長(zhǎng)龍便是答案。排隊(duì)的人數(shù)之多,在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投票,他們排隊(duì)長(zhǎng)達(dá)三、四個(gè)小時(shí)。許多人一生中第一次投票,因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這一次大選結(jié)果必須不同以往,而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負(fù)。
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states;we are, and always will be, the United States of America.無論年齡,無論貧富,無論民主黨人或共和黨人,無論黑人、白人,無論拉美裔、亞裔、印地安人, 無論同性戀、異性戀,無論殘障人、健全人,所有的人,他們向全世界喊出了同一個(gè)聲音:我們并不隸屬 “紅州”與 “藍(lán)州”的對(duì)立陣營(yíng),我們屬于美利堅(jiān)合眾國,現(xiàn)在如此,永遠(yuǎn)如此!
It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.長(zhǎng)久以來,很多人說:我們對(duì)自己的能量應(yīng)該冷漠,應(yīng)該恐懼,應(yīng)該懷疑。但是,歷史之輪如今已在我們手中,我們又一次將歷史之輪轉(zhuǎn)往更美好的未來。
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.漫漫征程,今宵終于來臨。特殊的一天,特殊的一次大選,特殊的決定性時(shí)刻,美國迎來了變革。
I just received a very gracious call from Sen.McCain.He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him and Gov.Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.剛才,麥凱恩參議員很有風(fēng)度地給我打了個(gè)電話。在這次競(jìng)選中,他的努力持久而艱巨。為了這個(gè)他摯愛的國家,他的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美國的奉獻(xiàn)超出絕大多數(shù)人的想象。他是一位勇敢無私的領(lǐng)袖,有了他的奉獻(xiàn),我們的生活才更美好。我對(duì)他和佩林州長(zhǎng)的成績(jī)表示祝賀。同時(shí),我也期待著與他們共同努力,再續(xù)美國輝煌。
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.我要感謝我的競(jìng)選搭檔——當(dāng)選副總統(tǒng)喬?拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓市街頭長(zhǎng)大、一起坐火車返回特拉華州的人們,拜登全心全意地竟選,他代表了這些普通人的聲音。
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.我要感謝下一位第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬。她是我家的中流砥柱,是我生命中的最愛。沒有她在過去16年來的堅(jiān)定支持,今晚我就不可能站在這里。我要感謝兩個(gè)女兒薩沙和瑪麗婭,我太愛你們兩個(gè)了,你們將得到一條新的小狗,它將與我們一起入住白宮。我還要感謝已去世的外婆,我知道此刻她正在天上注視著我。她與我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們,他們對(duì)我的恩情比山高、比海深。
To my campaign manager, David Plouffe;my chief strategist, David Axelrod;and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.我要感謝我的競(jìng)選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)?普魯夫,感謝首席策劃師大衛(wèi)?阿克塞羅德以及整個(gè)競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì),他們是政治史上最優(yōu)秀的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)。你們成就了今夜,我永遠(yuǎn)感謝你們?yōu)榻褚顾冻龅囊磺小?/p>
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是,我將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這場(chǎng)勝利真正屬于誰---是你們!
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.We didn't start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington — it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.我從來不是最有希望的候選人。起初,我們的資金不多,贊助人也不多。我們的競(jìng)選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳,而是起于德莫奈地區(qū)某家的后院、康科德地區(qū)的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區(qū)的某家前廊。
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy;who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep;from the not-so-young people 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.勞動(dòng)大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿來捐助我們的事業(yè)。年輕人證明了他們絕非所謂“冷漠的一代”。他們遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)和親人,拿著微薄的報(bào)酬,起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀(jì)的人也頂著嚴(yán)寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門助選。無數(shù)美國人自愿組織起來,充當(dāng)自愿者。正是這些人壯大了我們的聲勢(shì)。他們的行動(dòng)證明了在兩百多年以后,民有、民治、民享的政府并未從地球上消失。這是你們的勝利。
I know you didn't do this just to win an election, and I know you didn't do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college.There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.你們這樣做,并不只是為了贏得一場(chǎng)大選,更不是為了我個(gè)人。你們這樣做,是因?yàn)槟銈兦宄磥淼娜蝿?wù)有多么艱巨。今晚我們?cè)跉g慶,明天我們就將面對(duì)一生之中最為嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)--兩場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、一個(gè)充滿危險(xiǎn)的星球,還有百年一遇的金融危機(jī)。今晚我們?cè)谶@里慶祝,但我們知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,許許多多勇敢的美國人醒來后就將為了我們而面臨生命危險(xiǎn)。許許多多的父母會(huì)在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠,他們正在為月供、醫(yī)藥費(fèi),孩子今后的大學(xué)費(fèi)用而發(fā)愁。我們需要開發(fā)新能源,創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),建造新學(xué)校,迎接挑戰(zhàn)和威脅,并修復(fù)與盟國的關(guān)系。
The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you: We as a people will get there.前方道路還很漫長(zhǎng),任務(wù)艱巨。一年之內(nèi),甚至一屆總統(tǒng)任期之內(nèi),我們可能都無法完成這些任務(wù)。但我從未像今晚這樣對(duì)美國滿懷希望,我相信我們會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)目標(biāo)。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅(jiān)民族將實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)!
There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.我們會(huì)遇到挫折,會(huì)出師不利,會(huì)有許多人不認(rèn)同我的某一項(xiàng)決定或政策。政府并不能解決所有問題,但我會(huì)向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會(huì)聆聽你們的意見,尤其是在我們意見相左之時(shí)。最重要的是,我會(huì)讓你們一起重建這個(gè)國家。用自己的雙手,從一磚一瓦做起。這是美國立國221年以來的前進(jìn)方式,也是惟一的方式。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It cannot happen without you.21個(gè)月前那個(gè)隆冬所開始的一切,絕不應(yīng)在這一個(gè)秋夜結(jié)束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選,這只是給變革提供了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)。假如我們照老路子辦事,就沒有變革;沒有你們,就沒有變革。
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism;of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.In this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.讓我們重新發(fā)揚(yáng)愛國精神,樹立嶄新的服務(wù)意識(shí)、責(zé)任感,每個(gè)人下定決心,一起努力工作,彼此關(guān)愛;讓我們牢記這場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)帶來的教訓(xùn):不能允許商業(yè)街掙扎的同時(shí)卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個(gè)國家,我們作為同一個(gè)民族,同生死共存亡。
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity.Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.黨派之爭(zhēng)、瑣碎幼稚,長(zhǎng)期以來這些東西荼毒了我們的政壇。讓我們牢記,當(dāng)來自伊利諾伊州的一位先生首次將共和黨大旗扛進(jìn)白宮時(shí),伴隨著他的是自強(qiáng)自立、個(gè)人自由、國家統(tǒng)一的共和黨建黨理念。這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝,但我們態(tài)度謙卑,并決心彌合阻礙我們進(jìn)步的分歧。
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends...Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.” And, to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.當(dāng)年,林肯面對(duì)的是一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)比目前更為分裂的國家。他說:“我們不是敵人,而是朋友??雖然激情可能不再,但是我們的感情紐帶不會(huì)割斷。”對(duì)于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人,我想說,雖然我沒有贏得你們的選票,但我聽到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.對(duì)于關(guān)注今夜結(jié)果的國際人士,不管他們是在國會(huì)、皇宮關(guān)注,還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺(tái),我們的態(tài)度是:我們美國人的經(jīng)歷各有不同,但我們的命運(yùn)相關(guān),新的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。對(duì)于想毀滅這個(gè)世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。對(duì)于追求和平和安全的人們,我們將支持你們。對(duì)于懷疑美國這盞燈塔是否依然明亮的人們,今天晚上我們已再次證明:美國的真正力量來源并非軍事威力或財(cái)富規(guī)模,而是我們理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)和不屈的希望。
For that is the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.美國能夠變革,這才是美國真正的精髓。我們的聯(lián)邦會(huì)不斷完善。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就,將為我們將來能夠并且必須取得的成就增添希望。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項(xiàng)“第一”,誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女:安妮?庫波爾。她和無數(shù)排隊(duì)等候投票的選民沒有什么差別,唯一的不同是她高齡106歲。
She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.在她出生的那個(gè)時(shí)代,黑奴制剛剛廢除。那時(shí)路上沒有汽車,天上沒有飛機(jī)。當(dāng)時(shí)像她這樣的人由于兩個(gè)原因不能投票--一第一因?yàn)樗桥?,第二個(gè)原因是她的膚色。
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.今天晚上,我想到了安妮在美國過去一百年間的種種經(jīng)歷:心痛和希望,掙扎和進(jìn)步,那些我們被告知我們辦不到的年代,以及我們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)年代?,F(xiàn)在,我們堅(jiān)信美國式信念──是的,我們能!
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes, we can.在那個(gè)年代,婦女的聲音被壓制,她們的希望被剝奪。但安妮活到了今天,看到婦女們站起來了,可以大聲發(fā)表意見了,有選舉權(quán)了。是的,我們能。
When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose.Yes, we can.安妮經(jīng)歷了上世紀(jì)三十年代的大蕭條。農(nóng)田荒蕪,絕望籠罩美國大地。她看到了美國以新政、新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)以及嶄新的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝了恐慌。是的,我們能。
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes, we can.二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期,炸彈襲擊我們的海港,全世界受到獨(dú)裁專制威脅,安妮見證了一代美國人的英雄本色,他們捍衛(wèi)了民主。是的,我們能。
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes, we can.安妮經(jīng)歷了蒙哥馬利公交車事件、伯明翰黑人暴動(dòng)事件、塞爾馬血醒周末事件。來自亞特蘭大的一位牧師告訴人們:我們終將勝利。是的,我們能。
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes, we can.人類登上了月球、柏林墻倒下了,科學(xué)和想像把世界連成了一塊。今年,在這次選舉中,安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕,投下自己的一票。她在美國生活了106年,其間有最美好的時(shí)光,也有最黑暗的時(shí)刻,她知道美國能夠變革。是的,我們能。
America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
美利堅(jiān),我們已經(jīng)一路走來,我們已經(jīng)看到了那么多變化,但我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐?。今夜,讓我們問自己這樣一個(gè)問題:假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個(gè)世紀(jì),假如我的女兒們有幸與安妮一樣長(zhǎng)壽,她們將會(huì)看到怎樣的改變?我們又取得了怎樣的進(jìn)步?
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.現(xiàn)在,我們獲得了回答這個(gè)問題的機(jī)會(huì)。這是我們的時(shí)刻,我們的時(shí)代。讓我們的人民重新就業(yè),為我們的孩子打開機(jī)會(huì)的大門;恢復(fù)繁榮,促進(jìn)和平;讓美國夢(mèng)重放光芒,再證這一根本性真理,那就是:團(tuán)結(jié)一致,眾志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲諷和懷疑,說我們不能,我們就以這一永恒信條回應(yīng),因?yàn)樗哿苏麄€(gè)民族的精神——是的,我們能!
Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.謝謝大家!愿上帝保佑你們,保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國。
