I39。d especially like to thank the organizers and the precinct captains。the volunteers and the staff who made this all while I39。m at it, on “thank yous,” I think it makes sense for me to thank the love of my life, the rock of the Obama family, the closer on the campaign trail。give it up for Michelle know you didn39。t do this for did thisyou did this because you believed so deeply in the most American of ideasorganizing, and working, and fighting to make people39。s lives just a little bit know how hard it es with little sleep, little pay, and a lot of are days of disappointment, but sometimes, just sometimes, there are nights like thiswhen we rallied people of all parties and ages to a mon cause。when we finally gave Americans who39。d never participated in politics a reason to stand up and to do was the moment when we finally beat back the politics of fear, and doubt, and cynicism。the politics where we tear each other down instead of lifting this country was the from now, you39。ll look back and you39。ll say that this was the momentwhere America remembered what it means to many months, we39。ve been teased, even derided for talking about we always knew that hope is not

works the night shift after a full day of college and still can39。t afford health care for a sister who39。s ill。a young woman who still believes that this country will give her the chance to live out her is what I heard in the voice of the New Hampshire woman who told me that she hasn39。t been able to breathe since her nephew left for Iraq。who still goes to bed each night praying for his safe is

譯我衷心感謝艾奧瓦的公民們。眾所周知，有人說這一天永遠不會到來。有人說我們好高騖遠。有人說人民異見紛呈，悲觀失望，不可能再為了一個共同的目標而眾志成城。但在這個一月的夜晚，在這個書寫歷史的時刻，你們做到了那些憤世嫉俗的人斷言我們做不到的事。五天后新罕布什爾州的選民也將完成你們的壯舉。在剛剛來到的2008年，美國人民也會完成同樣的壯舉。在學校和教堂，在小市鎮(zhèn)和大城市，你們——民主黨人、共和黨人、無黨派人士——熙熙攘攘地走到一起，自豪地宣稱：我們是一個國家，我們是一個民族；變革的時刻已經(jīng)到來。你們還說，華盛頓被冷酷、萎縮和憤怒所淹沒，現(xiàn)在是超越這種政治手段、以相加替代分割的時刻，是在紅州和藍州建立變革聯(lián)盟的時刻。這是因為我們將以此在11月取勝，我們也將以此面對我們國家面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我們選擇希望，拋棄恐懼；我們選擇聯(lián)合，拒絕分裂；我們向美利堅高聲宣布變革就在眼前。你們宣布，政治說客自以為他們的財富和影響力比公眾輿論的威力更大，但是他們并不擁有這個政府。政府是我們的，我們正在把它收回。人民此刻需要這樣一位總統(tǒng)：他能誠實面對機遇和挑戰(zhàn)；即使跟人民見解不同也會傾聽和了解他們的想法；他不僅要說人民愿意聽到的話，更要提供人民需要知道的信息。如果新罕布什爾也給我今晚艾奧瓦給我的機會，我將會是這樣一位總統(tǒng)。感謝你們。我會是這樣一位總統(tǒng)：讓每個人都能看上病和看得起病。我在伊利諾斯州就通過民主黨人和共和黨人的攜手合作實現(xiàn)了這一目標。我會是這樣一位總統(tǒng)：終止所有把工作運往海外的公司的稅收優(yōu)惠政策，并給美國最值得享受減稅的中產(chǎn)階級減稅。我會是這樣一位總統(tǒng)：讓農(nóng)場主、科學家和企業(yè)家發(fā)揮他們的創(chuàng)造力，使我們國家一勞永逸地擺脫石油的主宰。最后，我會是這樣一位總統(tǒng)：我要結(jié)束伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭并讓我們的士兵回家；我要恢復我們的道德地位；我知道9/11不是騙取選票的借口，而是使美國和世界聯(lián)合起來應對21世紀這個世界面臨的共同威脅：恐怖主義和核擴散，全球變暖和貧困，種族屠殺和疾病。今晚，因為艾奧瓦公民的選擇，我們距離那樣的美國藍圖又近了一步。在此，我特別想感謝選舉的組織者和各個投票站的站長、志愿者和我的競選團隊的工作人員。沒有你們就沒有今晚的勝利。當我站在這里表達謝意時，我想有必要感謝我的至愛，奧巴馬家庭的堅實后盾，競選旅途的殿后者，米歇爾奧巴馬。我明白你們不是為了我才這樣做的。你們這樣做，你們這樣做，是因為你們堅信一個美國信念，那就是，無論條件多么艱難困苦，相信這個國家的人是可以改變它的。我明白這一點，我明白這一點，是因為雖然我此刻站在這里，我永遠也不會忘記我的行程從芝加哥的街頭開始。我曾經(jīng)作過你們?yōu)槲业母傔x和艾奧瓦所有的競選作過的一切：組織，工作，為了讓人民的生活能夠得到一點點改善而奮斗。我知道這樣的工作的艱辛，睡眠不足，薪酬低微，大量的自我犧牲，失望常常伴隨著我們。但是偶爾，僅僅是偶爾，也會有象今晚這樣的時刻，在這樣一個夜晚，這樣一個我們數(shù)年后想起來會自豪地說那個更好的美國就是從那個時刻開始的夜晚。在這樣的美國，我們實現(xiàn)了我們堅信不移的變革：更多的家庭看得起?。晃覀兊暮⒆?，我的女兒瑪利亞和薩沙和你們的孩子會生活在一個更干凈和更安全的星球上；世界將以不同的眼光來看待美國，而美國將把自己看作一個更少歧見、更多團結(jié)的國家。這一刻是勇往直前的人擊敗了華盛頓總是說戰(zhàn)無不勝的人的時刻。這一刻是我們拆除長久分裂我們的藩籬，讓不同黨派和不同年齡的人們?yōu)榱艘粋€共同的目的聯(lián)合起來，并給那些從不過問政治的人們一個關(guān)心政治的理由的一刻。這一刻是我們終于擊退恐懼、疑慮和犬儒主義政治的一刻，是我們用國家攜手向上替代政客相互踐踏的政治的一刻。這是我們期待的那一刻。數(shù)年后，遙想往事，你們也許會說，就是這一刻，在這個地方——美國人民記起希
