Nixon Cooper)。曾幾何時，婦女沒有發(fā)言權，她們的希望化作泡影，但是安?尼克松?庫波爾活了下來，看到婦女們站了起來，看到她們大聲發(fā)表自己的見解，看到她們?nèi)⒓哟筮x投票。當炸彈襲擊了我們的海港、獨裁專制威脅到全世界，她見證了美國一代人的偉大崛起，見證了一個民主國家被拯救。人類登上月球、柏林墻倒下，世界因我們的科學和想像被連接在一起。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。這是我們的時代－－讓我們的人民重新就業(yè)，為我們的后代敞開機會的大門；恢復繁榮發(fā)展，推進和平事業(yè)；讓“美國夢”重新煥發(fā)光芒，再次證明這樣一個基本的真理：我們是一家人；一息尚存，我們就有希望；當我們遇到嘲諷和懷疑，當有人說我們辦不到的時候，我們要以這個永恒的信條來回應他們：是的，我們能做到。第二篇：2012奧巴馬獲勝演講中英文對照2012奧巴馬獲勝演講中英文對照Transcript

America fall in love with you too as our nation’s first lady.(Cheers, applause.)Sasha and Malia —(cheers, applause)— before our very eyes, you’re growing up to bee two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom.(Cheers, applause.)And I am so proud of you I will say that for now, one dog’s probably enough.(Laughter.)To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics

you are matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we
