I have yet to earn – I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will beyour President ,避免重新回到令美國政治長期深受毒害的黨派紛爭和由此引發(fā)的遺憾和不成熟表現(xiàn)。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。共和黨是建立在自強自立、個人自由以及全民團結(jié)的價值觀上,這也是我們所有人都珍視的價值。雖然民主黨今天晚上贏得了巨大的勝利,但我們是以謙卑的態(tài)度和彌合阻礙我們進步的分歧的決心贏得這場勝利的。林肯在向遠比我們眼下分歧更大的國家發(fā)表講話時說,我們不是敵人,而是朋友??雖然 激情可能褪去,但是這不會割斷我們感情上的聯(lián)系。對于那些現(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)。And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at those who would tear this world down – we will defeat those who seek peace and security – we support to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation es not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty,opportunity, and unyielding ,從國會到皇宮,以及在這個世界被遺忘的角落里擠在收音機旁的人們,我們的經(jīng)歷雖然各有不同,但是我們的命運是相通的,新 的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。那些想要顛覆這個世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們,我們支持你們。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,今天晚上我們再次證明,我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財富的規(guī)模,而是來自我們理想的持久力量:民主、自由、機會和不屈的希望。For that is the true genius of America – that America can union can be what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve 。我們的聯(lián)邦會日臻完善。我們?nèi)〉玫某删蜑槲覀儗砟軌蛉〉玫囊约氨仨毴〉玫某删驮鎏砹讼Mhis 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。但是今天晚上令我難忘的卻是在亞特蘭大投票的一名婦女:安?尼克松?庫波爾(Ann Nixon Cooper)。她和其他數(shù)百萬排隊等待投票的選民沒有什么差別,除了一點:她已是106歲的高齡。She was born just a generation past slavery。a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky。when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons – because she was a woman andbecause of the color of her ;那時路上沒有汽車,天上也沒有飛機;當時像她這樣的人由于兩個原因不能投票--一是她是女性,另一個原因是她的膚色。And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America – the heartache and the hope。the struggle and the progress。the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we ,我想到了她在美國過去一百年間所經(jīng)歷的種種:心痛和希望;掙扎和進步;那些我們被告知我們辦不到的世代,以及那些堅信美國信條是的,我們能做到的人們。At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the we ,婦女沒有發(fā)言權(quán),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。是的,我們能做到。When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of mon we ,她看到一個國家用羅斯福新政、新就業(yè)機會以及對新目標的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝恐慌。是的,我們能做到。When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was we 、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。是的,我們能做到。She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overe.” Yes we 、伯明翰接上了水管、塞爾馬建了橋,一位來自亞特蘭大的傳教士告訴人們:我們能成功。是的,我們能做到。A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can we 、柏林墻倒下,世界因我們的科學和想像被連接在一起。今年,就在這次選舉中,她用手指觸碰屏幕投下自己的選票,因為在美國生活了106年之后,經(jīng)歷了最好的時光和最黑暗的時刻之后,她知道美國如何能夠發(fā)生變革。是的,我們能做到。America, we have e so have seen so there is so much more to tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century。if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress willwe have made? 美國,我們已經(jīng)走過漫漫長路。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。但是我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐?。因此今夜,讓我們自問如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀;如果我們的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長,他們將會看到怎樣的改變?我們將會取得怎樣的進步?This is our chance to answer that is our is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids。to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace。to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one。that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up thespirit of a people:Yes We 。這是我們的時刻。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(yīng)他們:是的,我們能做到。Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of 。上帝保佑你們。愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。第三篇:奧巴馬獲勝演說英文版奧巴馬獲勝演說英文版美國的變革 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。s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen by people who waited three hours and four hours many for the first time in their lives because they believed that this time must be different that their voices could be that difference It39。s the answer spoken by young and old rich and poor Democrat and Republican black white Hispanic Asian Native American gay straight disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states We are and always will be the United States of America It39。s the answer that led those who39。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 h
