2008年11月06日 星期四 08 37 Hello Chicago 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 It39。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 Watch Obama39。ve achieved And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation39。s no longer with us I know my grandmother39。ve sacrificed to get it done But above all I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to It belongs to you It belongs to you I was never the likeliest candidate for this office We didn39。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 lifetimetwo 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 they39。s new energy to harness new jobs to be created new schools to build and threats to meet alliances to repair 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 There will be setbacks and false starts There are many who won39。t happen without you without a new spirit of service a new spirit of sacrifice 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 it39。s beacon still burns as bright Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation es 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 That39。s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta She39。t and the people who pressed on with that American creed Yes we can At a time when women39。who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your ’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen。It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of －－無論老少貧富，無論是民主黨還是共和黨，無論是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亞裔、原住民，是同性戀者還是異性戀者、殘疾人還是健全人－－我們從來不是“紅州”和“藍(lán)州”的對(duì)立陣營，我們是美利堅(jiān)合眾國這個(gè)整體，永遠(yuǎn)都是。他在這場(chǎng)大選中經(jīng)過了長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的努力奮斗，而他為自己所深愛的這個(gè)國家奮斗的時(shí)間更長(zhǎng)、過程更艱辛。他全心參與競(jìng)選活動(dòng)，為普通民眾代言，他們是他在斯克蘭頓從小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉華的火車上遇到的男男女女。今晚，我想念他們，我知道自己欠他們的無可計(jì)量。一開始，我們沒有太多資金，也沒有得到太多人的支持。from the notsoyoung people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers。I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies 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,

臨的挑戰(zhàn)。今天的選舉勝利并不是我們所尋求的改變這只是我們進(jìn)行改變的機(jī)會(huì)。of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each 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。讓我們牢記，正是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共 和黨的大旗扛到了白宮。對(duì)于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國人，我想說，或許我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，而且我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。那些所有懷疑美國能否繼續(xù)照亮世界發(fā)展前景 的人們，今天晚上我們?cè)俅巫C明，我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財(cái)富的規(guī)模，而是來自我們理想的持久力量：民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)和不屈的希望。This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for one that’s on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in ’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 “第一”，也誕生了很多將世代流傳的故事。a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky。the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we
