，一個悲天憫人的國家，更是一個海納百川的國家。我們要接納在我國學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)并對我們的國旗宣誓，滿懷夢想的移民的女兒；要接納身處芝加哥南部市井之中卻能志存高遠(yuǎn)的男孩；還要接納北卡羅萊納州家具工人的孩子，他們夢想著成為醫(yī)生、科學(xué)家、工程師、企業(yè)家、外交官，甚至是總統(tǒng)。這正是我們所期望的未來，是我們共有的愿景，是我們需要前進(jìn)的方向，那是我們的目標(biāo)。passionateNow

learned from you and you’ve made me a better your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.[Applause]對于如何實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，我們可能會意見相左，有時分歧甚大，兩個多世紀(jì)以來，一直如此。但我們總會斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地取得進(jìn)步，前行的路線總有曲折，不會一直是平坦通途。認(rèn)識到我們擁有共同的希望與夢想，單靠這一點(diǎn)無法終結(jié)所有的政治僵局，或解決我們所有問題。建立共識，作出推動這個國家向前所必要的艱難妥協(xié)，這些艱辛的工作也無法得以替代。但我們必須以這一共同紐帶為起點(diǎn)。我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)已經(jīng)復(fù)蘇，十年的戰(zhàn)爭已近尾聲，一場漫長的競選現(xiàn)已結(jié)束，無論我是否贏得了你們的選票，我都傾聽了你們的聲音，我都從你們那里學(xué)到了很多東西，你們將會使我成為更好的總統(tǒng)。我將會記住你們的故事，你們的努力，我將入主白宮，對即將面臨的工作和未知的未來更加堅(jiān)定，倍受鼓舞。in

I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together: reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil, we’ve got more work to do, but that doesn’t mean your work is ，你們投票換來的將會是積極的行動，而不是以往那樣的政治游戲。你們選擇了我們，是讓我們關(guān)注你們的就業(yè)，而非我們自己的官位。在接下來的數(shù)周、數(shù)月中，我期待著與兩黨領(lǐng)袖進(jìn)行接觸與合作，共同應(yīng)對我們必須攜手攻克的難關(guān)：降低赤字、改革稅法、完善移民體系、擺脫對進(jìn)口石油的依賴…我們還有更多的工作要完成，但這并不意味著你們的任務(wù)已經(jīng)結(jié)束。The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your ’s never been about what can be done for us, it’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of ’s the principle we were founded ，并不止于投票。美利堅(jiān)的意義，并不在于別人能為我們做什么，而是在于我們能一起做什么，而這依靠的就是公民自治。這雖然困難而又往往令人灰心，卻是不可或缺的。這是我們的建國理念。This country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us have the most powerful military in history but that’s not what makes us university, our culture, are all the envy of the world, but that’s not what keeps the world ing to our makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth, the belief that our destiny is shared, that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and the future generations, so that the freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for es with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love, and charity, and duty and ’s what makes America ，可我們的富有并不源于此。我們有史上最強(qiáng)的軍事力量，可這并不是我們力量的源頭。我們的大學(xué)，我們的文化，為全世界所欽羨，可這并非吸引各國人民前來我國 的根源。美國的卓爾不群之根源在于，將全球最為多元化的國家團(tuán)結(jié)起來的紐帶，在于信奉我們的命運(yùn)緊密相連，信奉只有當(dāng)我們對彼此、對下幾代人負(fù)起一定責(zé)任，我們國家才有希望。所以無數(shù)美國人為之奮斗與獻(xiàn)身的自由背后，既有義務(wù)又有權(quán)利，其中就包括仁愛、慈善、責(zé)任和愛國。美國的偉大，就是靠這些精神鑄就而成的。exceptional,
