【正文】 ary things。 今年一月，你們改寫了歷史，打了懷疑論者一記耳光。 今天，大家需要的，是能誠實(shí)面對(duì)我們眼前挑戰(zhàn)、抉擇的總統(tǒng)。 我知道你們不是為我，是為了你們對(duì)美國精神的深沉信仰：就是，只要努力，愛國的人應(yīng)可以改變這個(gè)國家。 當(dāng)時(shí)，我們打敗了華府政客的懷疑；當(dāng)時(shí)，我們拆毀隔絕我們彼此的心墻；當(dāng)時(shí)，我們團(tuán)結(jié)所有人民、政黨、年齡層為共同目標(biāo)奮斗；當(dāng)時(shí)，我們給從沒參與過政治的美國人一個(gè)值得 參與的理由。但我知道，希望，不是盲目的樂觀、不是無視沉重的前途路礙、不是躲在場下不敢正面直擊。 希望，是我讀到一群專欄作者，群起韃伐帝國主義，啟發(fā)年輕男女愿意力 16 抗消防水柱的強(qiáng)力水壓，為自由、反奴役抗?fàn)帯? 此時(shí)此刻，這場選舉，我們已經(jīng)重新開始「相信」。 With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who acpanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours Hillary Rodham Clinton. To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it。t welloff or wellknown, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to. It is that promise that has always set this country apart that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still e together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well. That39。s beyond your reach. These challenges are not all of government39。ll also hear about those occasions when he39。m not ready to take a ten percent chance on change. The truth is, on issue after issue that would make a difference in your lives on health care and education and the economy Senator McCain has been anything but independent. He said that our economy has made great progress under this President. He said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. And when one of his chief advisors the man who wrote his economic plan was talking about the anxiety Americans are feeling, he said that we were just suffering from a mental recession, and that we39。s going on in the lives of Americans. I just think he doesn39。t believe that Senator McCain doesn39。s clear: John McCain has voted with Gee Bush niy percent of the time. Senator McCain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about 19 your judgment when you think Gee Bush has been right more than niy percent of the time? I don39。s worked on for twenty years and watch it shipped off to China, and then chokes up as he explains how he felt like a failure when he went home to tell his family the news. We are more passionate than a government that lets veterans sleep on our streets and families slide into poverty。t afford to drive, credit card bills you can39。 and to the next Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, I thank you. I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to the conductors on the Amtrak train he still takes home 17 every night. To the love of my life, our next First Lady, Michelle Obama, and to Sasha and Malia I love you so much, and I39。 Speech of Nomination for President: The American Promise (Democratic Convention) Denver, CO | August 28, 2020 To Chairman Dean and my great friend Dick Durbin。 希望，是這個(gè)國家的基石：相信我們的命運(yùn)不是命定、是我們每個(gè)人自己走出來的信念；是我們這群不愿將就現(xiàn)狀、有膽向世界說：「我們覺得應(yīng) 該這樣」的男女共同的信仰。 希望，是我看到這位白天打工、晚上補(bǔ)課，付不出錢讓妹妹上醫(yī)院治病，但內(nèi)心 仍相信美國會(huì)給她機(jī)會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想的年輕女子。數(shù)年后，當(dāng)你回首，就在此時(shí)，美國人民重新找回希望的意義。 我知道大家都辛苦，睡眠不足、薪資很低、大量犧牲。 謝謝你們。 你們齊聲說：我們要跨越政客習(xí)以為常的苦毒、瑣屑、憤怒、政治手段、分裂，我們要合力創(chuàng)造跨越黨派顏色的改變平臺(tái)，唯有這樣，才能面對(duì)美國眼前的所有挑戰(zhàn)。 and at this moment, in this election, we are ready to believe again. Thank you, Iowa. 謝謝你，愛荷華。 who have the courage to remake the world as it should be. That is what we started here in Iowa, and that is the message we can now carry to New Hampshire and beyond。 a mother from Kansas。 who still goes to bed each night praying for his safe return. Hope is what led a band of colonists to rise up against an empire。t afford health care for a sister who39。ll say that this was the moment this was the place where America remembered what it means to hope. For many months, we39。 when we finally gave Americans who39。s a little cleaner and safer。s lives just a little bit better. I know how hard it is. It es with little sleep, little pay, and a lot of sacrifice. There are days of disappointment, but sometimes, just sometimes, there are nights like this a nighta night that, years from now, when we39。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。 12 climate change and poverty。ll be a President who ends this war in Iraq and finally brings our troops home。t just tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to know. And in New Hampshire, if you give me the same chance that Iowa did tonight, I will be that president for America. Thank you. I39。t own this government, we do。ll win in November, and that39。s consumed Washington。 in small towns and big cities。我相信今天的我們就站在歷史的十字街頭，我們可以做出正確的選擇，迎接面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我所談的是更為根本的問題。我們都是一國之民，都效忠于偉大的星條旗，所有的人都熱愛我們的祖國 —— 美利堅(jiān)合眾國。今晚，我需要對(duì)這些人講得是，美國人沒有所謂自由和保守之分，世間只存在一個(gè)美利堅(jiān)合眾國。正是這個(gè)基本信仰讓這個(gè)國家發(fā)展到今天：我們都是一家人，我們都是兄弟姐妹。 9 這就是我們作為一個(gè)民族榮辱與共的信仰。當(dāng)這些可愛的年輕人舍身踏上征程，我們責(zé)無旁貸地要確認(rèn)做出出兵決定的所有數(shù)據(jù) 和理由確鑿無誤；我們責(zé)無旁貸地要替他們照顧好家人，而當(dāng)他們榮歸故里時(shí)，要關(guān)照他們的生活；當(dāng)決定要介入戰(zhàn)爭、保衛(wèi)和平和贏得世界的尊重之時(shí)，我們責(zé)無旁貸地要派駐足夠數(shù)量的軍隊(duì)，以確保戰(zhàn)士能凱旋而歸。他說自己加入了海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì) , 一周后就將進(jìn)駐伊拉克。他堅(jiān)信美國應(yīng)該成為世人艷羨的國度，因?yàn)閲竦淖杂墒艿綉椃ǖ谋Ｗo(hù)。多少次，他面對(duì)艱難抉擇，知難而上，不畏艱險(xiǎn)，他的閱歷和品行為我們樹立了榜樣。 在本次選舉中，我們做出了這樣的選擇。走進(jìn)芝加哥周邊的城鎮(zhèn)，大家會(huì)告訴你，希望自己辛苦繳納的稅款能夠物盡其用，而不是讓社會(huì)保障機(jī)構(gòu)或五角大樓任意支配。我曾遇到一位強(qiáng)忍淚水的父親，他也因此丟掉了工作，沒有了經(jīng)濟(jì)來源，不知怎樣才能為兒子支付得起每月 4500 美元的高昂醫(yī)藥費(fèi)用，本可救命的醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)對(duì)他而言卻遙不可及，我們應(yīng)該為他們做點(diǎn)什么；在東圣路易斯市，有這樣一個(gè)年輕女孩，她品學(xué)兼優(yōu) ，成績出色，卻因?yàn)闆]有錢，無法完成學(xué)業(yè)，與大學(xué)無緣，而像她這樣的孩子還有千千萬萬，我們應(yīng)該為他們做點(diǎn)什么。我們有靈感，有想法，可以去實(shí)現(xiàn)，去創(chuàng)業(yè)，無須行賄或雇傭某些人物的子女作為 7 籌碼和條件。我們的自豪與榮耀來自一個(gè)非常簡單的前提，兩百多年前，它在一個(gè)著名的宣言中得以高度的概括：“我們認(rèn)為以下真理不言而喻，人生來平等，造物主賜與他們以下不可剝奪的權(quán)利：生命、自由和對(duì)幸福的追求。盡管他們生活并不寬裕，還是想方設(shè)法讓我接受當(dāng)?shù)刈詈玫慕逃?，因?yàn)樵谶@樣一個(gè)富足的國度中，無論貧富
