第一篇：奧巴馬勝選演講稿(中英文對照)

Thank you so much.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.今夜，在當(dāng)年的殖民地贏得了決定自己命運的權(quán)利200多年以后，讓美利堅合眾國更加完美的任務(wù)又向前推進了一步。

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.這一進程是因為你們而向前推進的，因為你們再次確認(rèn)了那種使美國勝利克服了戰(zhàn)爭和蕭條的精神，那種使美國擺脫絕望的深淵并走向希望的最高點的精神，以及那種雖然我們每個人都在追求自己的個人夢想、但我們同屬一個美國大家庭、并作為一個國家和民族共同進退的信仰。

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.今夜，在此次選舉中，你們這些美國人民提醒我們，雖然我們的道路一直艱難，雖然我們的旅程一直漫長，但我們已經(jīng)讓自己振作起來，我們已經(jīng)發(fā)起反擊，我們在自己內(nèi)心深處知道，對美利堅合眾國來說，最美好一切屬于未來。

I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time.By the way, we have to fix that.Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you

difference.我想感謝所有參加此次選舉的美國人，無論你是首次參加選舉還是為投票曾長時間排隊等候。順便說一句，我們需要解決這些問題。無論你是到投票站投票還是發(fā)傳真投票，無論你選的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼，你都讓別人聽到了自己的聲音，你都讓美國因你而不同。

I just spoke with Gov.Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.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 the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov.Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.我要對羅姆尼州長說幾句話，我對他和保羅?萊恩在這次競爭激烈的選舉中的表現(xiàn)表示祝賀。我們可能爭奪得很激烈，但這僅僅是因為我們深愛著這個國家以及我們?nèi)绱藦娏业仃P(guān)心著它的未來。從喬治到勒諾到他們的兒子米特，羅姆尼家族選擇了通過公共服務(wù)來回報美國，那是一種我們今夜表示敬重和贊許的遺產(chǎn)。我期待著今后幾周能與羅姆尼州長坐下來討論一下我們可以從何處著手一起努力將美國推向前進。

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.我想對我在過去四年中的朋友和伙伴表示感謝。他就是美國的快樂戰(zhàn)士、無出其右的最佳副總統(tǒng)喬?拜登。

And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago.Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.And I’m so proud of you guys.But I will say that for now one dog’s probably enough.20年前同意嫁給我的女性，我不會成為今天的我。請讓我公開說出下面這段話：米切爾，我對你的愛無以復(fù)加，我無比驕傲地看到其他美國人也愛上了你這位我們國家的第一夫人。薩沙和瑪利亞，在我們所有人的見證下你們正成長為兩個堅強、聰明和美麗的年輕女性，就像你們的媽媽一樣。我十分以你們?yōu)闃s。不過我要說的是，眼下家里養(yǎng)一條狗或許已經(jīng)夠了。

To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics.The best.The best ever.Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.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 and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley.You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you put in.在這個有史以來的最佳競選團隊和有史以來的最佳志愿者隊伍中，你們有些人是這次新加入進來的，有些人則是一開始就在我身邊。但你們所有人都屬于一個大家庭。無論你的工作是什么，無論你從哪里來，你們都將獲得我們共同創(chuàng)造的歷史記憶，你們都將被一位充滿感激之情的總統(tǒng)終生感激。感謝你們始終充滿信心，無論是在高峰還是在低谷。你們鼓舞著我走完整個選舉過程，我對你們所做的每件事、你們所做的每項不可思議的工作將一直充滿感激。I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that 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 saw folks working late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else.我知道政治角力有時會顯得小家子氣甚至愚蠢。它為憤世嫉俗者提供了足夠的口實，他們告訴我們政治不過是自負者之間的競爭，是特殊利益集團的地盤。但如果你曾經(jīng)有機會與參加我們集會的那些人以及高中體育館內(nèi)擠在隔離繩外的那些人攀談，或者看到那些在遠離家鄉(xiāng)的偏遠小縣的競選辦公室內(nèi)加班工作的人，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)一些別的東西。

’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.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.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.你將從一位年輕的活動現(xiàn)場組織者的聲音里聽到他的決心，他邊在大學(xué)里學(xué)習(xí)邊從事助選工作，他希望確保每個孩子都能擁有同樣的機會。你將從一位志愿者的聲音里聽到她的驕傲，她挨門動員選民是因為她哥哥終因當(dāng)?shù)匾患移囍圃鞆S增加了一個班次而有了工作。你將從一對軍人夫婦的聲音里聽到深深的愛國情懷。他們深夜時還在接聽選舉電話，以確保那些曾經(jīng)為這個國家作戰(zhàn)的人不會返回家園時還要為得到一份工作或棲身之所而苦苦爭斗。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.正因為如此，我們要進行選舉。這是政治所能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)的。正因為如此，選舉很重要。這不是小事，而是大事，是至關(guān)重要的事。在一個有三億人口的國家實行民主制度可能嘈雜不堪、一團混亂、情況復(fù)雜。我們有自己的觀點。我們每個人都有自己深信的信仰。當(dāng)我們經(jīng)歷艱難時期，當(dāng)我們作為一個國家做出重大決定時，這必然會激發(fā)熱情，也必然會引發(fā)爭議。That won’t change after tonight, and it shouldn’t.These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty.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, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.這都不會改變，也不應(yīng)該改變。我們進行的這些爭論恰恰體現(xiàn)了我們的自由。我們永遠不應(yīng)忘記，就在我們講話之際，遙遠國度的人們現(xiàn)在正冒著生命危險，僅僅是為了獲得一個能夠?qū)χ匾獑栴}進行爭論、像我們今天這樣投票的機會。

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.A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.不過，盡管我們存在這樣那樣的分歧，我們大多數(shù)人都對美國的未來有著某些共同的希望。我們希望我們的孩子成長的國家能夠讓他們上最好的學(xué)校、接受最好老師的教導(dǎo)。一個無愧于全球技術(shù)、探索和創(chuàng)新領(lǐng)袖光輝歷史的國家，倘能如此，各種好工作和新企業(yè)將隨之而來。We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.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.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.我們希望我們的孩子能夠生活在一個沒有債務(wù)之累、沒有不公之苦、沒有全球變暖帶來的破壞之虞的美國。我們希望留給后代一個安全、受到全球尊重和贊賞的國家，一個由全球有史以來最強大的軍事力量和最好的部隊保衛(wèi)的國家，一個滿懷信心走過戰(zhàn)爭、在人人享有自由和尊嚴(yán)的承諾之上構(gòu)建和平的國家。

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.To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner.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 future we hope for.That’s the vision we share.That’s where we need to go – forward.That’s where we need to go.我們堅信一個慷慨的美國、一個富有同情心的美國、一個寬容的美國。美國向一位移民的女兒的夢想打開了大門，讓她有機會在我們的學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)、對著我們的國旗宣誓；美國向芝加哥南部地區(qū)的一個小男孩打開了大門，讓有機會他看到一個最近街角以外的遠大人生；美國向北卡羅來納州的一位家具工人的孩子打開了大門，讓他有機會實現(xiàn)自己當(dāng)醫(yī)生或科學(xué)家、工程師或企業(yè)家、外交官甚至是總統(tǒng)的夢想，這是我們希望的未來。這是我們共同的愿景。這是我們奔赴的方向，向前的方向。這是我們需要實現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)。

奧巴馬勝選演說中英文對照全文

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.我要告訴那些在美國大陸以外關(guān)注今晚選舉的人們，也許你們在一個被世界遺忘的角落通過收音機了解今晚的選舉，盡管我們的國情不一樣，但是我們的命運是緊緊聯(lián)系在一起的。一個全新的美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層即將呼之欲出。

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.我要告訴那些試圖破壞這個世界的人們，我們將打敗你們！我要告訴那些追求和平和安全的人們，我們將全力支持你們！我要告訴那些對美國的未來持懷疑態(tài)度的人們，今晚，我們再次證明了一個事實，那就是這個國家擁有強大的力量，這并不是因為我們擁有眾多的武器和財富。民主、自由、機遇、堅定不屈的希望才使這個國家保持強大的持久力量！

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.美國強大的真諦在于它能夠做出改變，我們的國家可以變得更加完美。我們過去所達到的成就讓我們看到了前進的希望。

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that’s on my mind tonight 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.本屆選舉創(chuàng)造了多項歷史之最，有許多故事將代代相傳。但此時此刻，我腦海中想起的是一名來自亞特蘭大的選民，這位名叫安妮·尼克松·庫珀的女性和千千萬萬的選民一樣，靜靜地站在投票隊伍之中，投出自己的選票，表達自己的聲音。不過，與眾不同的是，她已經(jīng)106歲高齡了。在她出生的年代，公路上沒有汽車，天空中沒有飛機。像她一樣的人僅僅因為膚色和性別就被擋在參與投票的大門之外。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.今晚，我由此聯(lián)想到了她一個世紀(jì)以來，在美國見證的一切：困苦與希望，奮斗與進步，那是一個讓人無能為力的年代，但人們必須不斷告訴自己美國的偉大信條：“是的，我們可以！”曾經(jīng)，女性無法表達自己的意見，她們的希望成為幻影。如今，她終于見證了這一幕，和她一樣有著悲慘遭遇的人們成功地投出了自己的選票。是的，我們可以！

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.當(dāng)整個美國大陸都籠罩在經(jīng)濟大蕭條的絕望之中時，她見證了一個國家戰(zhàn)勝自身恐懼，重新崛起，羅斯福總統(tǒng)推行的“新政”不僅給美國帶來了新的就業(yè)機會，更給美國人民帶來了共同的價值觀。是的，我們可以！

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.當(dāng)敵人的炮彈投向我們的港口，當(dāng)世界被暴政所威脅，她見證了一個崛起的民族，民主重獲新生。是的，我們可以！

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.她目睹了發(fā)生在蒙哥馬利巴士上、伯明翰的高壓水龍頭下、塞爾瑪大橋上的種族歧視暴行??而后，來自亞特蘭大的民權(quán)先驅(qū)告訴人們，“我們可以戰(zhàn)勝這一切”。是的，我們可以！

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.而后，人類登月，柏林墻倒塌，世界重新集結(jié)在科學(xué)和想象力的號角下?，F(xiàn)在，在這場選舉中，她終于用自己的指尖觸碰到投票屏幕，鄭重地投下選票。飽經(jīng)106年的滄桑變化，穿越歲月的風(fēng)云變遷，她知道美國能做出怎樣的改變。是的，我們可以！

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，我們風(fēng)雨兼程，一路走來。我們經(jīng)歷了太多，但前方仍有許多夢想等待著我們?nèi)崿F(xiàn)。今晚，讓我們大聲地問自己，我們的孩子是否還能看到下一個世紀(jì)；我可愛的女兒是否能和安妮·尼克松·庫珀一樣幸運，享受漫長的人生。他們將看到怎樣的變革？我們將取得怎樣的進步？

This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and 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.這是我們給出答案的機會。這是屬于我們的時刻。這是我們的時代：讓人們有事可做；為我們的孩子打開機遇之門；推動世界和平與繁榮；再次鍛造美國夢，重申這一不可動搖的事實——雖然我們每個人不盡相同，但我們是一個整體，只要我們呼吸尚存，希望就永不磨滅。我們將用那歷經(jīng)時間考驗的不朽信條擲地有聲地直面質(zhì)疑：“是的，我們可以！”

Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.謝謝！上帝保佑你們，保佑美利堅合眾國！

第三篇：奧巴馬2012勝選演講中英文全文

奧巴馬2012勝選演講中英文全文

Thank you so much.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.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.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.I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time.By the way, we have to fix that.Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Gov.Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.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 the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov.Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.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.And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago.Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.And I’m so proud of you guys.But I will say that for now one dog’s probably enough.To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics.The best.The best ever.Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.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 and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley.You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you put in.I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that 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 saw folks working late in 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.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.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.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.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, 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.A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all 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 by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.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.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.To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner.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 future we hope for.That’s the vision we share.That’s where we need to go – forward.That’s where we need to go.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 or solve 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.A long campaign is now over.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.Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.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.Reducingour deficit.Reforming our tax code.Fixing our immigration system.Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We’ve got more work to do.But that doesn’t mean your work is done.The role of citizen 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.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;that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations.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.I am hopeful tonight because I’ve seen the 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 reenlist 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.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.And I saw 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.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.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.I have never been more hopeful about America.And I ask you to sustain that hope.I’m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks 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.America, I believe we can build on the progress we’ve made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class.I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, 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.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, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here in America if you’re willing to try.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.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.Thank you, America.God bless you.God bless these United States.

第四篇：奧巴馬勝選演講(中英文對照)

Change Has Come To America If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果，還有人懷疑美國是一切皆有可能的國度，還有人懷疑國父們的夢想在我們的時代是否還存在，還有人懷疑我們的民主所擁有的力量，那么今晚，你聽到了回答。

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.是那些今天在學(xué)校和教堂排著長隊、數(shù)不勝數(shù)的選民做出了回答；是那些為了投票等待了三四個小時的人們做出了回答。他們中的很多人，是有生以來第一次投票，因為他們相信，這次真的不同――他們的聲音會讓這次不同。It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.We are, and always will be, the United States of America.這個回答來自青年、老人、窮人、富人、民主黨、共和黨人、黑皮膚、白皮膚、拉美人、亞裔、印第安人、同性戀和非同性戀者、殘疾人和健全者。美國告訴世界，我們從來就不是一半紅、一半藍（譯者：分別代表民主黨和共和黨。），我們是——美利堅合眾國。

It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.很多人，在長久以往的耳濡目染中憤世嫉俗、擔(dān)憂、懷疑。但今天他們做出了回答。他們的雙手扭轉(zhuǎn)了歷史，讓歷史轉(zhuǎn)向充滿希望的新的一天。

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.我們等待了很久。但今夜，因為我們今天的努力、因為這次選舉，在這決定性的時刻，美國終于迎來了轉(zhuǎn)變。

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign.And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine.We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him;I congratulate Gov.Palin for all that they’ve achieved.And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.我剛剛收到麥凱恩參議員打來的電話，他非常誠摯。在這次漫長的競選中，他付出了艱苦的努力。而為這個 他所愛的國家，他付出得更多、時間也更長。他忍受過的犧牲，是我們很多美國人無法想象的。這位勇敢而無私的領(lǐng)袖的付出會讓我們的國家更強大。對麥凱恩參議 員和佩林州長所取得的成績，我這里也表示欽佩。我期待在接下來的幾個月中，與他們一道重拾美國的承諾。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.我要感謝我的競選伙伴。他發(fā)自內(nèi)心地投入競選，他的聲音代表了那些在他成長的斯克蘭頓街生活的人們的聲音，代表那些和他一道乘火車上下班的特拉華州人民的聲音。現(xiàn)在他將是美國的副總統(tǒng)，他就是喬·拜登。

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.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.2 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.如果不是我過去十六年間最親密的朋友、我的家庭的基石和我一生的至愛給予的支持，今晚我不會站在這 里。那就是我們國家的下任第一夫人，米歇爾·奧巴馬。還有我的女兒，薩沙和瑪麗亞。我是如此愛你們。我們會帶著你們剛贏得的小狗一起搬進白宮。而我的外祖 母，雖然此刻他已經(jīng)離我們而去，但我知道她在看著呢——和帶給我生命、定義了我人生的家人們一道。今夜，我想念他們。我知道我欠他們的難以償還。

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.感謝我的競選經(jīng)理——大衛(wèi)·普勞夫（David Plouffe），我的首席戰(zhàn)略官大衛(wèi)·阿克塞羅德（David Axelrod），以及美國政治史上最棒的競選團隊，是你們造就了今天，對你們的付出和犧牲我永遠感謝。

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.It belongs to you.It belongs to you.但最重要的是，我永遠不會忘記這一勝利真正屬于誰。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.我從來都不是總統(tǒng)的最佳人選。剛開始時我們沒有太多經(jīng)費也沒有很多要人的支持。我們的競選不是孵化自華盛頓的會議大廳，而是始于得梅因（美國衣阿華Iowa州的首府）的后院、康科德市普通人家的客廳、以及查爾斯頓的某個前廊。

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.這一勝利來自于普通工薪階層人民，他們從微薄的積蓄中拿出五元、十元來支持我們的理念。我們的勝利來自于年輕人--那些遠離家人承擔(dān)辛苦但收入微薄 的競選工作的年輕人。他們反駁了關(guān)于他們是冷漠的一代的謬論。我們的勝利也來自于那些已不再年輕的人們，他們在嚴(yán)寒或酷暑中走街串巷向完全陌生的選民進行 宣傳。我們的勝利來自數(shù)以百萬計的美國人民，他們的志愿參與和組織證明了兩個多世紀(jì)之后，那個民有、民治、民享的政府仍然長存。這個勝利屬于你們！

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.我知道你們這樣做不僅僅是為了這次競選，不僅僅是為了我。你們這樣做是因為你們知道我們面臨的任務(wù)之艱巨。即便我們今晚在此慶祝，我們也知道明天的 挑戰(zhàn)是前所未有的——兩場戰(zhàn)爭、一個奄奄一息的星球、和一場百年不遇的經(jīng)濟危機。即便我們今晚在此慶祝，我們也清楚地知道那些勇敢的美國人明早會在伊拉克 的沙漠或是阿富汗的山地中醒來——他們在為我們冒生命危險。我們知道父母們在孩子睡下后輾轉(zhuǎn)難眠，不知如何才能償付按揭、醫(yī)療賬單、或 是為孩子上大學(xué)籌 款。我們需要去開發(fā)新能源、創(chuàng)造新就業(yè)機會、建設(shè)新學(xué)校、面對新挑戰(zhàn)、和修復(fù)我們的戰(zhàn)略聯(lián)盟。

The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year or even in one term.But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you, we as a people will get there.前路嚴(yán)峻而漫長，我們也許在一年甚至一屆總統(tǒng)任期之內(nèi)都無法解決這些問題。但是美國，我從來沒有像今晚這樣有信心，相信我們會解決它們。我向你們承諾：我們，美國人民會解決這些問題。

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.前面會有挫折和彎路。很多人不會完全同意我作為總統(tǒng)做出的政策和決定。而且我們知道政府不會解決所有問題。但關(guān)于面對的挑戰(zhàn)，我會始終對你們坦誠相 告。我會傾聽你們的聲音——特別是當(dāng)我們意見相左時。而最重要的是，我請你們加入到家園的重建中來，用二百二十一年以來我們唯一的方法，美國的方法——一 磚一瓦，水滴石穿。

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.二十一個月之前那個深冬開始的勝利之路，不會在今天這個秋夜止步。這個勝利本身并不是我們所追求的。這只是給了我們機會，去實現(xiàn)我們期待的轉(zhuǎn)變。而如果我們退回原地則什么也不會發(fā)生。沒有你們的參與，也不會發(fā)生。

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.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.讓我們呼喚一種全新的愛國主義，一種投入與責(zé)任感——我們每個人都更努力地工作，不僅考慮到我們自己，還要考慮到他人。如果這次金融危機有什么教訓(xùn)的話，那就是實體經(jīng)濟受損，華爾街也不可能繁榮。在這個國家，我們榮辱與共。

Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.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.讓我們一起抵制兩黨分立所帶來的那些長久以來腐蝕我們的政治的幼稚、繁瑣、無謂的爭端。讓我們記住來自這個州的那個第一個將共和黨的大旗插上白宮的 人——他引領(lǐng)了一個崇尚自力更生、獨立自由和國家統(tǒng)一的政黨，這是我們都崇尚的價值觀。今晚民主黨所取得的偉大勝利，將促使我們更加謙虛、更加堅定地彌合 曾經(jīng)阻礙我們前進的分裂。正如林肯總統(tǒng)對那個更加分裂的國家所說的：“我們不是敵人，我們是朋友??盡管目前的情緒有些緊張，但決不能容許它使我們之間的 親密情感紐帶破裂?！倍鴮τ谀切┎恢С治业拿绹恕铱赡苓€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，我也會成為你們的總統(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.To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.對于那些身居海外，正在看著這里的美國人，還有在國會、白宮和在世界的某個角落圍坐在收音機前的人們——我們可能有不同的經(jīng)歷，但是我們有相同的目 標(biāo)，美國的嶄新黎明正浮現(xiàn)在我們的面前。對那些想要破壞這個世界的人——我們將會擊敗你。對那些尋求和平與安寧的人們——我們將會幫助你。對那些懷疑美國 的自由之火是否依舊興旺的人們——今晚我們再次證明了，我們的真正實力不是來自我們的強大力量、也不是來自我們的巨額財富，而是來自我們堅忍不拔的信念： 民主、自由、機遇和永不放棄的理想。

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.天賦異稟的美國人——我們的國家可以改變，我們的聯(lián)盟將是完美的。我們已經(jīng)取得的成績給我們帶來了信心，讓我們向著更偉大的成就前進。

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.這次選舉有太多的第一次，有太多的故事將被代代傳敘。但是給我印象最深的是一位女性在亞特蘭大投下了她的選票，她像千千萬萬的美國人一樣發(fā)出自己的聲音，除了一點——安·尼克松·庫帕（Ann Nixon Cooper）已經(jīng)106歲了。She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.她生于黑暗的奴隸時代，那個時候路上沒有汽車，天上也沒有飛機。當(dāng)時的她不能投票，只有兩個原因——她的性別和她的膚色。

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.而今晚，我想她一個世紀(jì)的經(jīng)歷——心痛與希望；抗?fàn)幣c進步；一次次失敗和逆流而上都證明了：我們做得到。

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.每一次女性的聲音被壓制，夢想被摧殘，她都看到她們再次站起來，行使自己的權(quán)利。我們做得到。

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)美國人在風(fēng)沙中絕望，全國陷入蕭條，她都看到這個國家克服恐懼，施行新政，創(chuàng)造新的工作崗位，統(tǒng)一目標(biāo)。我們做得到。

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)我們的港口被炸，暴政籠罩著世界，她見證了一代人的崛起，他們捍衛(wèi)了民主。我們做得到。

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.她見證了蒙哥馬利的公共汽車停運、伯明翰的黑人暴動、塞爾瑪?shù)难戎苣┖湍俏粊碜詠喬靥m大的傳教士對人們高聲喊出：“我們一定會勝利?！蔽覀冏龅玫?。

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.8 我們登上過月球，我們推倒了柏林墻，我們用科學(xué)和創(chuàng)想連接了整個世界。今年，在這次選舉中，她伸出手指在屏幕上按下，她投出了自己的一票，因為經(jīng)歷了106年的光明與黑暗，她知道美國應(yīng)該如何轉(zhuǎn)變。我們做得到。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)走了很久，我們已經(jīng)看了 很多，但是還有很多事情等著我們?nèi)プ?。今晚，讓我們捫心自問——如果我們的孩子能夠看到下個世紀(jì)，如果我的女兒們也能幸運地像安·尼克松·庫帕那樣長壽，他們會看到什么樣的轉(zhuǎn)變？我們應(yīng)該如何完成這些轉(zhuǎn)變？

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: 這是我們完成使命的機會。這是我們的時代。這是我們創(chuàng)造歷史的時刻——讓我們的人民得到工作，敞開門讓我們的孩子得到機會；恢復(fù)繁榮并推進和平；讓 美國夢再次浮現(xiàn)，重申我們的基本信念——團結(jié)一心。當(dāng)我們呼吸、我們暢想、我們面對犬儒主義、我們遲疑、我們面對那些質(zhì)疑我們的人的時候，我們將銘記那凝 聚了我們精神的不滅的信條： Yes, we can.我們一定做得到。Thank you.謝謝大家。

God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.上帝保佑你們，愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。

第五篇：2012奧巴馬勝選演講稿

2012奧巴馬勝選演講稿

Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.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 our tax code.Fixing our immigration system.Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We've got more work to do.今晚，你投給的是行動，而不是政治。你們的選擇將成就你們的工作，而不是我們的。在接下來的幾個星期幾個月當(dāng)中，我會期待和我們兩黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人一起來共同尋求那些我們只有共同努力才能解決的矛盾的問題，縮減赤字，改革法案，修正移民法，拜托對進口石油的依賴。我們的路還很漫長

But that doesn't mean your work is done.The role of citizen 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.That's the principle we were founded on.但是這不意味著你們的工作就結(jié)束了。服務(wù)于民主的責(zé)任并未因投票的結(jié)束而完結(jié)。美國的價值并不在于它為我們做什么，而是在于我們一起可以做什么。由我們艱難的和有時令人失望的，但又不可或缺的民主政府來完成。這是我們立國之根本。

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.我們比任何一個國家資源都豐富，但是這并不是我們富有的原因。我們有世上最無敵的軍隊，但是這并不是我們富有的原因。我們的大學(xué)、我們的文化，雖然是全球最優(yōu)秀的，但這并不是世界人民爭相投奔我們的原因。

What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth.The belief that our destiny is shared;that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations.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.是因為我們是一個多民族的國家，多樣性的國家。我相信我們的命運緊緊相連，我相信國家的發(fā)展需要每個人都承擔(dān)起各自的責(zé)任，對他人的責(zé)任，對下一代的責(zé)任。所以無數(shù)美國人為之戰(zhàn)斗，為之獻出自由。同時也意味著權(quán)力和責(zé)任，同時也意味著愛和仁慈，義務(wù)和國家情操。這才是美國偉大的原因。
