【正文】 你們大多數(shù)人一樣。
　　And as Americans, we have so much to be thankful for.
　　作為美國人，我們有那么多值得感恩的東西。
　　We give thanks for the men and women who set sail for this land nearly four centuries ago, risking everything for the chance at a better life – and the people who were already here, our Native American brothers and sisters, for their generosity during that first Thanksgiving.
　　我們對近42020年前航行到這片土地的人們表達(dá)感謝，因為他們?yōu)榱藢で蟾玫纳?，甘冒一切風(fēng)險。我們還要感激已經(jīng)在這片土地上的，我們的原住民印第安兄弟姐妹們，感激他們在第一次感恩節(jié)上的慷慨大度。
　　We give thanks for the generations who followed – people of all races and religions, who arrived here from every country on Earth and worked to build something better for themselves and for us.
　　我們對相繼而來的世世代代的人們表達(dá)感激。來自世界各國的人們——來自不同民族并有著不同宗教信仰，齊心協(xié)力為他們自己和我們建筑起更美好的將來。
　　We give thanks for all our men and women in uniform – and for their families, who are surely missing them very much today. We’re grateful for their sacrifice too.
　　我們對穿制服為我們服務(wù)的人們表達(dá)謝意，對今天必定無比想念他們的親人表達(dá)謝意。我們感激他們的犧牲。
　　We give thanks for the freedoms they defend – the freedom to think what we want and say what we think, to worship according to our own beliefs, to choose our leaders and, yes, criticize them without punishment. People around the world are fighting and even dying for their chance at these freedoms. We stand with them in that struggle, and we give thanks for being free.
　　我們感恩他們所捍衛(wèi)的自由——讓我們敢想敢說的自由、讓我們選擇信仰的自由、讓我們選擇自己的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的自由，以及，不受懲罰地批評領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的自由。世界各國人民都在為有這些自由而奮斗甚至犧牲。我們和他們站在同一戰(zhàn)線上，我們?yōu)樽杂啥卸鳌?br />　　And we give thanks to everyone who’s doing their part to make the United States a better, more passionate nation – who spend their Thanksgiving volunteering at a soup kitchen, or joining a service project, or bringing food and cheer to a lonely neighbor. That bighearted generosity is a central part of our American character. We believe in lending a hand to folks who need it. We believe in pitching in to solve problems even if they aren’t our problems. And that’s not a onedayayear belief. It’s part of the fabric of our nation.
　　而且，我們感恩所有讓美國成為更強(qiáng)大并且更富同情心的國家而盡責(zé)職守的人們——那些感恩節(jié)在救濟(jì)所參加志愿服務(wù)的人，或者參加服務(wù)項目的人，或者給孤單的鄰居送去食物和鼓勵的人。這樣的大度慷慨是我們美國人性格中的核心部分。我們愿意給需要的人以援手，我們愿意路見不平拔刀相助。這些不是一年一次的想法，這是我們國家的構(gòu)成。
　　And we remember that many Americans need that helping hand right now. Americans who’ve lost their jobs and can’t get a new one through no fault of their own. Americans who’ve been trapped in poverty and just need that helping hand to climb out. Citizens whose prayers and hopes move us to act.
　　我們牢記著許多美國人現(xiàn)在需要幫助。那些失去工作而且沒有絲毫過錯卻找不到新工作的美國人，那些深陷貧困而且急需救援之手的美國人。正是這些公民的祈禱和希望促使我們行動。
　　We are a people who are greater together than we are on our own. That’s what today is about. That’s what every day should be about. No matter our differences, we’re all part of one American family. We are each other’s keeper. We are one nation, under God. That core tenet of our American experience has guided us from the earliest days of our founding – and it will guide us to a future that’s even brighter than today.
　　我們是一個團(tuán)結(jié)勝過單獨(dú)行動的國家。今天如此，每天都如此。不管我們多么不同，我們都是美國大家庭的一份子。我們是彼此的守護(hù)者。我們是上帝庇佑的一個國家。我們美國歷史實踐出的這個核心信條將帶領(lǐng)我們走向比今天更輝煌的未來，從建國初期到將來都是如此。
　　Thank you, God bless you, and from my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
　　謝謝，上帝保佑你。還有我們?nèi)蚁雽Υ蠹冶硎靖卸鞴?jié)快樂。
