e the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your need your I will be your president, ,我們患難與共。讓我們抵制重走老路的誘惑,避免重新回到令美國政治長期深受毒害的黨派紛爭、小題大做、不成熟的表現(xiàn)。讓我們記住,是伊利諾伊州的一名男子首次將共和黨的旗幟扛到了白宮。共和黨是建立在自立、個人自由以及國家團結(jié)的價值觀之上的。這也是我們所有人共同的價值觀。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。林肯當年面對的國家遠比我們眼下分歧更大,但他講到:我們不是敵人,而是朋友……雖然激情可能會褪去,但這不會割斷我們感情上的聯(lián)系。對于那些現(xiàn)在沒有投票給我的美國人,我想說,我可能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 the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at ,從國會到皇宮,以及在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,但是我們的命運是一樣的,美國領(lǐng)導層新的曙光即將來臨。To thoseto those who would tear the world down: We will defeat those who seek peace and security: We support to all those who have wondered if America39。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 ,我們將擊敗你們。那些追求和平和安全的人們,我們支持你們。那些所有懷疑美國的燈塔能否能像以前一樣明亮的人們,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震懾或財富的規(guī)模,而是來自我們理想的持久力量:民主、自由、機遇和永不屈服的希望。That39。s the true genius of America: that America can union can be we39。ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve ——美國能夠改變。我們的聯(lián)邦會日漸完美。我們現(xiàn)有的成就令我們將來能夠取得和必須取得的成就有了更大的希望。This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for one that39。s on my mind tonight39。s about a woman who cast her ballot in 39。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 ,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。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 couldn39。t vote for two reasonsbecause she was a woman and because 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,首先她是女性,其次她是黑人。And tonight, I think about all that she39。s seen throughout her century in Americathe heartache and the hope。the struggle and the progress。the times we were told that we can39。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;斗爭和進步;在那里時代,我們被告知我們辦不到,一些人繼續(xù)堅信美國的信念──是的,我們能做到。At a time when women39。s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the we ,她們的希望被挫敗,但是她活著看到婦女們站了起來,看到她們站出來發(fā)表自己的見解,看到她們參加大選投票——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, a new sense of mon we ,她看到一個國家用新政、新的就業(yè)機會以及對新目標的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝恐慌?!堑模覀兡茏龅?。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 、暴政威脅到全世界,她見證了一代美國人的偉大崛起,見證了一個民主國家獲得拯救?!堑?,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:“我們將不屈不撓?!薄堑?,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,世界被我們的科學和想象連接在一起。今年,在這場選舉中,她用手指觸摸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?!堑?,我們能做到。America, we have e so have seen so there is so much more to tonight, let us ask ourselvesif 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 will we have made?美國,我們已經(jīng)走過了一條漫漫長路。我們已經(jīng)歷了很多。但是我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥R虼私褚?,請讓我們捫心自問——如果我們的孩子能夠活到下個世紀;如果我的女兒有幸活得和安一樣長,她們將會看到怎樣的改變?我們將會取得什么樣的進步? This is our chance to answer that is our 。這是我們的時刻。This 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 where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can39。t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we ——讓我們的人民重新就業(yè),為我們的后代敞開機會之門,恢復(fù)繁榮,推進和平,重新確立“美國夢”,再次證明這樣一個基本的真理:我們是一家人;只要一息尚存,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 bless may God bless the United States of 。上帝保佑你們。愿上帝保佑美利堅合眾國。第五篇:奧巴馬勝選演講(中英文對照)Change Has Come To America 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 ,還有人懷疑美國是一切皆有可能的國度,還有人懷疑國父們的夢想在我們的時代是否還存在,還有人懷疑我們的民主所擁有的力量,那么今晚,你聽到了回答。It’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 、數(shù)不勝數(shù)的選民做出了回答;是那些為了投票等待了三四個小時的人們做出了回答。他們中的很多人,是有生以來第一次投票,因為他們相信,這次真的不同――他們的聲音會讓這次不同。It’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 who sent
