第一篇：2004年7月27日在民主黨全國代表大會(huì)上的致辭

希望就是勇氣，希望就是力量：2004年7月27日在民主黨全國代表大會(huì)上的致辭巴拉克·奧巴馬 文 海星 譯

作為偉大的伊利諾斯州——全國的交通樞紐，林肯的故鄉(xiāng)——的代表，我為有向此次大會(huì)致辭的機(jī)會(huì)而深感榮幸。今晚于我而言是一份特殊的榮耀。我們得承認(rèn)，我出現(xiàn)在這個(gè)講壇上是件不可思議的事。我的父親是個(gè)外國留學(xué)生，在肯尼亞的一個(gè)小村莊出生并長(zhǎng)大，他幼時(shí)牧羊，在鐵皮頂做成的簡(jiǎn)陋小屋里上學(xué)。他的父親，我的祖父，是個(gè)廚師，一個(gè)傭人。但我祖父對(duì)他的兒子有更大的夢(mèng)想。艱辛的努力和頑強(qiáng)的毅力使父親拿到了到美國留學(xué)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金。美國是一片神奇的國土，它對(duì)于許多未曾來過的人而言是自由和機(jī)會(huì)的象征。在留學(xué)期間，父親遇到了母親。她出生在世界另一端的堪薩斯的一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)上。她父親在大蕭條時(shí)期為了養(yǎng)家糊口，不是在石油鉆塔下打工，就是在農(nóng)場(chǎng)務(wù)農(nóng)。珍珠港事件后他自愿入伍，進(jìn)入巴頓的部隊(duì)，曾在整個(gè)歐洲大陸輾轉(zhuǎn)作戰(zhàn)。在后方家中，外祖母養(yǎng)育著他們的孩子，并在一條轟炸機(jī)流水線上工作。戰(zhàn)后，他們研究了士兵福利法案，通過聯(lián)邦住宅管理局買了一套房子，并移居到西部尋找機(jī)會(huì)。

他們對(duì)他們的女兒也很大的夢(mèng)想。一個(gè)共通的夢(mèng)想，在兩個(gè)不同的大陸生發(fā)。我的父母不僅共享不可思議的愛戀，他們還共同堅(jiān)守這個(gè)國家有巨大潛力的不渝信念。他們賜予我一個(gè)非洲名字，巴拉克，意為“受神福佑的”。他們相信在寬容大度的美國，一個(gè)人的名字不是通向成功的障礙。盡管生活并不富裕，但他們想讓我去這片土地最好的學(xué)校就讀，因?yàn)樵诟蛔愕拿绹?，你即使不富裕也能發(fā)掘你的潛力。現(xiàn)在他們都過世了。不過我知道，在這個(gè)夜晚，他們滿懷驕傲自天堂注視我。

今天我站在這里，為我獨(dú)特的血統(tǒng)滿懷感激，并知道我父母的愿望正在我的兩個(gè)寶貝女兒身上延續(xù)。我站在這里，知道我的故事是更宏偉的美國故事的一部分，也知道我們不能忘卻那些在我之前來到這里的人，更知道我的故事這個(gè)世界的任何其他地方都不可能發(fā)生。今晚，我們歡聚一堂重申我們民族的榮耀，這個(gè)榮耀并不在于我們的摩天大樓有多高，也不

在于我們的軍備實(shí)力有多強(qiáng)，更不在于我們經(jīng)濟(jì)的規(guī)模有多大。我們的自豪感建筑在一個(gè)相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)單的前提上，兩百多年前它就在一個(gè)宣言中被這樣概括：”我們堅(jiān)持以下真理不言而喻：眾生平等。造物主賦予他們某些不可被剝奪的權(quán)利，它們包括：生命權(quán)、自由權(quán)和追求幸福的權(quán)利?！?/p>

這是美國真正的天才：堅(jiān)信她的人民簡(jiǎn)單而純樸的夢(mèng)想，堅(jiān)信小小的奇跡會(huì)發(fā)生。我們能在深夜給孩子掖好被子時(shí)確信他們衣食無憂且遠(yuǎn)離傷害。我們能想到什么就說什么，想到什么就寫什么，而毋庸擔(dān)心突然被政府找上門來。我們能生發(fā)一個(gè)想法后就去開創(chuàng)自己的生意，而無須行賄或雇傭某人的子女。我們能參與政治過程而不必?fù)?dān)心被懲罰，并且，至少多數(shù)時(shí)候，我們的選票是有用的。

今年，在這次選舉中，我們要重申我們的價(jià)值觀和責(zé)任，秉持它們?nèi)?duì)抗艱難時(shí)局；并留心我們?cè)鯓硬拍芾^承先輩的遺產(chǎn)，實(shí)現(xiàn)對(duì)子孫的承諾。美國公民們，——民主黨人、共和黨人、無黨派人士——，今晚我想對(duì)你們說：我們還有更多的工作要做。要為我在伊利諾斯州蓋爾斯堡市（Galesburg）遇到工人們做更多的努力，他們丟失了在即將搬遷到墨西哥的Maytag洗衣機(jī)工廠車間的工作，現(xiàn)今被迫同他們的子女爭(zhēng)搶每小時(shí)7美金的工作機(jī)會(huì)。要為我遇到的一個(gè)失了業(yè)、克制住不流淚的父親做更多的努力，他在擔(dān)心沒有他可以依賴的醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)他如何負(fù)擔(dān)兒子每個(gè)月所需的4500美金的醫(yī)藥費(fèi)。要為東圣路易斯市的一個(gè)年輕女孩和千千萬萬和她一樣的人做更多的努力，——她有成績(jī)、有動(dòng)力和意愿，卻沒有錢去讀大學(xué)。

請(qǐng)不要誤解我。我在大城和小鎮(zhèn)、在餐廳和辦公樓停車場(chǎng)遇到的人并未期待政府去解決他們所有的困難。他們清楚他們自己必須勤勞工作去克服難關(guān)，他們也真的想這樣做。走進(jìn)芝加哥周邊的工薪城鎮(zhèn)，人們會(huì)告訴你他們不愿讓自己的納稅花在五角大樓或福利機(jī)構(gòu)。走進(jìn)市中心的任何街區(qū)，人們會(huì)告訴你僅僅靠政府是不可能讓孩子好好讀書的。他們知道父母需要教育孩子，需要提高孩子的期待，需要關(guān)掉電視機(jī)并杜絕這樣的謠言：一個(gè)捧著書本的黑人小孩簡(jiǎn)直像個(gè)白人孩子，而只有這樣孩子才能進(jìn)步。真的是這樣，人們并不指望政府

解決他們面臨的所有困難。但他們真誠地認(rèn)為，只要政府理順執(zhí)政的輕重緩急，它就能確保美國的每個(gè)孩子的生活有個(gè)像樣的目標(biāo)，讓機(jī)遇向所有人敞開大門。他們知道我們能做得更好。而他們想要那樣的選擇。

在這次選舉中，我們能提供那樣的選擇。我們的黨已經(jīng)挑選出一個(gè)最能代表這個(gè)國家的美德的人。他就是約翰·克里。約翰·克里懂得共同體、信念和獻(xiàn)身的理想，因?yàn)檫@些理想是他的生活準(zhǔn)則。他在越南英勇服役，出任過檢察官和副州長(zhǎng)，并在美國參議院供職二十多年，他為這個(gè)國家獻(xiàn)出了自己的一切。我們?cè)偃娮C他舍棄相對(duì)容易的選擇而做出艱難的決定。他的價(jià)值理念和經(jīng)歷是我們最好品德的寫照。

約翰·克里堅(jiān)信美國該是多勞多得的國度。因此，他不會(huì)給那些把工作輸送到海外的公司

減稅，他只會(huì)給那些在本土創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)的公司減免賦稅。約翰·克里堅(jiān)信美國應(yīng)該是老百姓的醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)跟華盛頓的政治家們的醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)沒有差別的國度。約翰·克里堅(jiān)信能源自主，因此我們不再因石油公司對(duì)利潤的追求或外國油田的被破壞而受到威脅。約翰·克里堅(jiān)信那些使我們的國家成為世界羨慕對(duì)象的、由憲法條款所保證的自由，他不會(huì)犧牲我們的基本自由或?qū)⑿叛鲇米鞣至盐覀兊墓ぞ?。約翰·克里還堅(jiān)信戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)在一個(gè)充滿危險(xiǎn)的世界是不可避免的抉擇，但它永不會(huì)是首選。

前不久，我在伊利諾斯州東莫林市的外戰(zhàn)老兵俱樂部里遇到一個(gè)叫沙莫斯的年輕人。他長(zhǎng)得帥氣高大，有兩米左右的個(gè)頭，眼睛清澈，笑容可掬。他告訴我他參加了海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)，下周將要開赴伊拉克。當(dāng)我聽他娓娓述說他入伍的原因，他對(duì)于我們的國家和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的完全信賴，他對(duì)于責(zé)任和服役的忠誠，我感覺這個(gè)年輕人的言行正是我們每個(gè)人對(duì)自己的孩子的所有期待。然而，我又捫心自問，我們?yōu)樗峁┑姆?wù)有他給我們提供的服務(wù)好嗎？我想起有900多個(gè)服役的男男女女將不會(huì)再重返家園，他們是兒子和女兒、丈夫和妻子、朋友和鄰居。我想起我遇到的那些家庭，他們正努力克服缺少了愛人全職收入的困窘，或盡量擺脫愛

人歸來而身體殘疾或精神崩潰卻因?yàn)槭穷A(yù)備役軍人而無法享受長(zhǎng)期健康補(bǔ)貼的困境。當(dāng)我們派遣我們的年輕人踏上犧牲的路途，我們必須責(zé)無旁貸地搞清和核實(shí)讓他們出征的一切數(shù)字和一切理由，必須責(zé)無旁貸地在他們離去后照看他們的家庭，在他們返回后關(guān)照他們的生活，必須責(zé)無旁貸地確保在沒有足夠的部隊(duì)時(shí)不進(jìn)入戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、保衛(wèi)和平和贏得世界的尊重。

請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我闡明這一點(diǎn)：在這個(gè)世界上我們有真正的敵人，我們必須找到這些敵人，必須追擊并打敗他們。約翰·克里懂得這一點(diǎn)。就像克里上尉在越南戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上毫不猶豫地冒險(xiǎn)保護(hù)他的下屬一樣，克里總統(tǒng)會(huì)毫不猶豫地運(yùn)用我們的軍力保護(hù)美國的安全。約翰·克里相信美國。他也知道僅僅一部分公民的富足遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠，與我們聞名于世的個(gè)人主義如影隨形的，是美國激蕩的歷史中的另一種元素。

這個(gè)元素是我們作為一個(gè)民族榮辱與共的信仰。假如芝加哥南部的一個(gè)孩子不能讀寫，即使那不是我的孩子，我也會(huì)因此受到困擾。如果一個(gè)年事已高的市民付不起她的診療費(fèi)而被迫在醫(yī)療費(fèi)和租房之間做選擇，即使她不是我的祖母，也會(huì)使我的生活更加拮據(jù)。如果一個(gè)阿拉伯裔的美國家庭未經(jīng)律師辯解或訴訟程序就遭到驅(qū)趕，那也會(huì)威脅我的人身自由。正是這個(gè)基本的信仰使這個(gè)國家運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)：我是我的兄弟的守護(hù)人，我是我的姐妹的守護(hù)人。它保證了我們追尋個(gè)體的夢(mèng)想，卻仍舊聚合為一個(gè)美利堅(jiān)家庭。“E plubribus Unum”，獨(dú)立來自團(tuán)結(jié)，單一來自集體。

Senator Hillary Clinton:

Twelve years ago, when our country needed new leadership, Americans elected a Democrat who gave us eight years of peace, prosperity, and promise.Tonight I have the pleasure of introducing the last great Democratic President.But first I want to say a few words about the next great Democratic president, John Kerry.We meet at a moment of great peril, but also of great hope.Together we can widen the circle of opportunity for all Americans, transcend our differences and divisions, and give our children a safer and more secure future.That's the promise of America.And John Kerry will renew that promise.He will lead the world, not alienate it.Lower the deficit, not raise it.Create good jobs, not lose them.Solve a health care crisis, not ignore it.I know a thing or two about health care.And the problems have only gotten worse in the past four years.We need to rededicate ourselves to the task of providing coverage for the 44 million Americans who are uninsured and the millions of others who face rising costs.We need to lift the ban on stem cell research, and find cures that will help millions of Americans.Health care is a serious issue that requires serious solutions and that's what John Kerry will give us.John Kerry will give America something else, a great vice president.I've served with John Edwards.He's smart, he's energetic, he's empathetic.And he understands the challenges that hard-working Americans face in their daily lives.Americans will be proud to have the Kerry-Edwards team in the White House, and they'll be proud to have their extraordinary partners, Teresa Heinz Kerry and Elizabeth Edwards, there as well.We've been through our share of challenges as Americans, from a Civil War to a Great Depression 洛基國際英語

to World Wars and more.Today we face a new threat.Being a Senator from New York, I saw first-hand the devastation of 9/11.I visited Ground Zero right after we were attacked.I felt like I was standing at the Gates of Hell.I hope no American ever has to witness a sight like that again.That tragedy changed all of us.I know it changed me.And every day now, as a mother, as a Senator, and as an American I worry about whether we are acting as wisely as we can to protect our country and our people.Last week, the bipartisan 9/11 commission issued its report.It was a sober call to action that we ignore at our peril.John Kerry understands what's at stake.We need to fully equip and train our firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians-our first responders in the event of a terrorist attack.We need to secure our borders and our ports, as well as our chemical and nuclear plants.We need to reorganize our federal government to meet the new threats of these times.We need to make sure that homeland security is properly funded and that resources go to the areas at greatest risk.We need to take care of our men and women in uniform who risked their lives for our country.These brave Americans deserve better.We need to increase our troop strength, raise their pay, and provide veterans, the National Guard, and Reserve with the benefits they're entitled to.Do you know what we need to meet these challenges? We need John Kerry.John Kerry is a serious man, for a serious job.So let's work our hearts out and send him to the White House in 2004.And I'm optimistic we will because I know a great leader when I see one.And so does America.In 1992 and 1996, Americans chose a President who left our country in far better shape than when he took office.He still spends his days working to empower the powerless, promote racial, religious, and ethnic reconciliation, inspire young people to citizen service, and bring life saving medicines to people living with HIV/AIDS around the world.He showed Democrats how to win again.And so will John Kerry.Please welcome the 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton.“成千上萬人瘋狂下載。。。

President Bill Clinton:

Thank you.I am honored to share the podium with my Senator, though I think I should be introducing her.I'm proud of her and so grateful to the people of New York that the best public servant in our family is still on the job and grateful to all of you, especially my friends from Arkansas, for the chance you gave us to serve our country in the White House.I am also honored to share this night with President Carter, who has inspired the world with his work for peace, democracy, and human rights.And with Al Gore, my friend and partner for eight years, who played such a large role in building the prosperity and progress that brought America into the 21st century, who showed incredible grace and patriotism under pressure, and who is the living embodiment that every vote counts—and must be counted in every state in America.Tonight I speak as a citizen, returning to the role I have played for most of my life as a foot soldier in the fight for our future, as we nominate a true New England patriot for president.The state that gave us John Adams and John Kennedy has now given us John Kerry, a good man, a great senator, a visionary leader.We are constantly told America is deeply divided.But all Americans value freedom, faith, and family.We all honor the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.We all want good jobs, good schools, health care, safe streets, a clean environment.We all want our children to grow up in a secure America leading the world toward a peaceful future.Our differences are in how we can best achieve these things, in a time of unprecedented change.Therefore, we Democrats will bring the American people a positive campaign, arguing not who's good and who's bad, but what is the best way to build the safe, prosperous world our children deserve.The 21st century is marked by serious security threats, serious economic challenges, and serious problems like global warming and the AIDS epidemic.But it is also full of enormous 洛基國際英語

opportunities—to create millions of high paying jobs in clean energy, and biotechnology;to restore the manufacturing base and reap the benefits of the global economy through our diversity and our commitment to decent labor and environmental standards everywhere;and to create a world where we can celebrate our religious and racial differences, because our common humanity matters more.To build that kind of world we must make the right choices;and we must have a president who will lead the way.Democrats and Republicans have very different and honestly held ideas on that choices we should make, rooted in fundamentally different views of how we should meet our common challenges at home and how we should play our role in the world.Democrats want to build an America of shared responsibilities and shared opportunities and more global cooperation, acting alone only when we must.We think the role of government is to give people the tools and conditions to make the most of their lives.Republicans believe in an America run by the right people, their people, in a world in which we act unilaterally when we can, and cooperate when we have to.They think the role of government is to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of those who embrace their political, economic, and social views, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves on matters like health care and retirement security.Since most Americans are not that far to the right, they have to portray us Democrats as unacceptable, lacking in strength and values.In other words, they need a divided America.But Americans long to be united.After 9/11, we all wanted to be one nation, strong in the fight against terror.The president had a great opportunity to bring us together under his slogan of compassionate conservatism and to unite the world in common cause against terror.Instead, he and his congressional allies made a very different choice: to use the moment of unity to push America too far to the right and to walk away from our allies, not only in attacking Iraq before the weapons inspectors finished their jobs, but in withdrawing American support for the Climate Change Treaty, the International Court for war criminals, the ABM treaty, and even the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.Now they are working to develop two new nuclear weapons which they say we might use first.At home, the President and the Republican Congress have made equally fateful choices indeed.For the first time ever when America was on a war footing, there were two huge tax cuts, nearly half of which went to the top one percent.I'm in that group now for the first time in my life.When I was in office, the Republicans were pretty mean to me.When I left and made money, I became part of the most important group in the world to them.At first I thought I should send them a thank you note—until I realized they were sending you the bill.They protected my tax cuts while: 洛基國際英語

· Cutting 140,000 unemployed workers out of job training

· 100,000 working families out of child care assistance

· 300,000 poor children out of after school programs

· Raising out of pocket healthcare costs to veterans

· Weakening or reversing important environmental advances for clean air and the preservation of our forests.Everyone had to sacrifice except the wealthiest Americans, who wanted to do their part but were asked only to expend the energy necessary to open the envelopes containing our tax cuts.If you agree with these choices, you should vote to return them to the White House and Congress.If not, take a look at John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats.In this year's budget, the White House wants to cut off federal funding for 88,000 uniformed police, including more than 700 on the New York City police force who put their lives on the line on 9/11.As gang violence is rising and we look for terrorists in our midst, Congress and the President are also about to allow the ten-year-old ban on assault weapons to expire.Our crime policy was to put more police on the streets and take assault weapons off the streets.It brought eight years of declining crime and violence.Their policy is the reverse, they're taking police off the streets and putting assault weapons back on the streets.If you agree with their choices, vote to continue them.If not, join John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats in making America safer, smarter, and stronger.On Homeland Security, Democrats tried to double the number of containers at ports and airports checked for Weapons of Mass Destruction.The one billion dollar cost would have been paid for by reducing the tax cut of 200,000 millionaires by five thousand dollars each.Almost all 200,000 of us would have been glad to pay 5,000 dollars to make the nearly 300 million Americans safer—but the measure failed because the White House and the Republican leadership in the House decided my tax cut was more important-If you agree with that choice, re-elect them.If not, give John Kerry and John Edwards a chance.These policies have turned the projected 5.8 trillion dollar surplus we left—enough to pay for the baby boomers retirement—into a projected debt of nearly 5 trillion dollars, with a 400 plus billion dollar deficit this year and for years to come.How do they pay for it?

cover my tax cut.But it's not enough.They are borrowing the rest from foreign governments, mostly Japan and China.Sure, they're competing with us for good jobs but how can we enforce our trade laws against our bankers? If you think it's good policy to pay for my tax cut with the Social Security checks of working men and women, and borrowed money from China, vote for them.If not, John Kerry's your man.We Americans must choose for President one of two strong men who both love our country, but who have very different worldviews: Democrats favor shared responsibility, shared opportunity, and more global cooperation.Republicans favor concentrated wealth and power, leaving people to fend for themselves and more unilateral action.I think we're right for two reasons: First, America works better when all people have a chance to live their dreams.Second, we live in an interdependent world in which we can't kill, jail, or occupy all our potential adversaries, so we have to both fight terror and build a world with more partners and fewer terrorists.We tried it their way for twelve years, our way for eight, and then their way for four more.By the only test that matters, whether people were better off when we finished than when we started, our way works better—it produced over 22 million good jobs, rising incomes, and 100 times as many people moving out of poverty into the middle class.It produced more health care, the largest increase in college aid in 50 years, record home ownership, a cleaner environment, three surpluses in a row, a modernized defense force, strong efforts against terror, and an America respected as a world leader for peace, security and prosperity.More importantly, we have great new champions in John Kerry and John Edwards.Two good men with wonderful wives—Teresa a generous and wise woman who understands the world we are trying to shape.And Elizabeth, a lawyer and mother who understands the lives we are all trying to lift.Here is what I know about John Kerry.During the Vietnam War, many young men—including the current president, the vice president and me—could have gone to Vietnam but didn't.John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it too.Instead he said, send me.When they sent those swift-boats up the river in Vietnam, and told them their job was to draw hostile fire—to show the American flag and bait the enemy to come out and fight—John Kerry said, send me.When it was time to heal the wounds of war and normalize relations with Vietnam—and to demand an accounting of the POWs and MIAs we lost there—John Kerry said, send me.When we needed someone to push the cause of inner-city kids struggling to avoid a life of crime, or to bring the benefits of high technology to ordinary Americans, or to clean the environment in a way that creates jobs, or to give small businesses a better chance to make it, John Kerry said send me.Tonight my friends, I ask you to join me for the next 100 days in telling John Kerry's story and promoting his plans.Let every person in this hall and all across America say to him what he has always said to America: Send Me.The bravery that the men who fought by his side saw in battle 洛基國際英語

I've seen in the political arena.When I was President, John Kerry showed courage and conviction on crime, on welfare reform, on balancing the budget at a time when those priorities were not exactly a way to win a popularity contest in our party.He took tough positions on tough problems.John Kerry knows who he is and where he's going.He has the experience, the character, the ideas and the values to be a great President.In a time of change he has two other important qualities: his insatiable curiosity to understand the forces shaping our lives, and a willingness to hear the views even of those who disagree with him.Therefore his choices will be full of both conviction and common sense.He proved that when he picked a tremendous partner in John Edwards.Everybody talks about John Edwards' energy, intellect, and charisma.The important thing is how he has used his talents to improve the lives of people who—like John himself—had to work hard for all they've got.He has always championed the cause of people too often left out or left behind.And that's what he'll do as our Vice President.Their opponents will tell you to be afraid of John Kerry and John Edwards, because they won't stand up to the terrorists—don't you believe it.Strength and wisdom are not conflicting values—they go hand in hand.John Kerry has both.His first priority will be keeping America safe.Remember the scripture: Be Not Afraid.John Kerry and John Edwards, have good ideas:

· To make this economy work again for middle-class Americans;

· To restore fiscal responsibility;

· To save Social Security;to make healthcare more affordable and college more available;

· To free us from dependence on foreign oil and create new jobs in clean energy;

· To rally the world to win the war on terror and to make more friends and fewer terrorists.At every turning point in our history we the people have chosen unity over division, heeding our founders' call to America's eternal mission: to form a more perfect union, to widen the circle of opportunity, deepen the reach of freedom, and strengthen the bonds of community.It happened because we made the right choices.In the early days of the republic, America was at a crossroads much like it is today, deeply divided over whether or not to build a real nation with a national economy, and a national legal system.We chose a more perfect union.In the Civil War, America was at a crossroads, divided over whether to save the union and end 洛基國際英語

slavery—we chose a more perfect union.In the 1960s, America was at a crossroads, divided again over civil rights and women's rights.Again, we chose a more perfect union.As I said in 1992, we're all in this together;we have an obligation both to work hard and to help our fellow citizens, both to fight terror and to build a world with more cooperation and less terror.Now again, it is time to choose.Since we're all in the same boat, let us chose as the captain of our ship a brave good man who knows how to steer a vessel though troubled waters to the calm seas and clear skies of our more perfect union.We know our mission.Let us join as one and say in a loud, clear voice: Send John Kerry.“成千上萬人瘋狂下載。。。

第四篇：克里在2004年美國民主黨全國代表大會(huì)上的演講

[dvnews_page]JohnKerry'eechat2004DemocraticNationalConvention

為期4天的美國民主黨全國代表大會(huì)7月29日在波士頓閉幕。在這次氣氛熱鬧、“火藥味”十足的大會(huì)上，民主黨正式提名克里為總統(tǒng)候選人。克里突出渲染民主黨“讓美國更強(qiáng)，在世界上更受尊敬”(makeAmericastrongerathomeandreectedintheworld)的競(jìng)選口號(hào)，并通過數(shù)萬與會(huì)者和新聞媒體造勢(shì)，向廣大選民推出民主黨對(duì)美國未來的計(jì)劃。
