【正文】 那些操縱輿論的人和制作負(fù)面廣告的人，他們投身沒有原則和不擇手段的政治。那么，今晚我將告訴他們，這里不存在一個(gè)自由主義的美國和一個(gè)保守主義的美國，而只有一個(gè)美利堅(jiān)合眾國。這里不存在黑人的美國和白人的美國、拉丁族裔的美國和亞洲人的美國，而只有美利堅(jiān)合眾國。很多所謂的專家喜歡將我們的國家分割為紅色的州和藍(lán)色的州：紅色的州由共和黨人控制，藍(lán)色的州是民主黨人的天下。但我要跟他們說：我們藍(lán)州的人信仰莊嚴(yán)的上帝，我們紅州的人不喜歡聯(lián)邦政府的官員在圖書館打探我們的閱讀興趣。我們在藍(lán)州也給小棒球隊(duì)做教練，我們在紅州也有同性戀朋友。有些愛國者反對伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭，有些愛國者支持它。我們是一個(gè)民族，所有人都宣誓效忠星條旗，所有人都保衛(wèi)美利堅(jiān)合眾國。說到底，這才是這次選舉的意義：我們投入憤世嫉俗的政治還是參與滿懷希望的政治？約翰克里號召我們?nèi)ハＭs翰愛德華茲號召我們?nèi)ハＭ?。我不是在談盲目的樂觀主義。以為如果我們不討論失業(yè)它便會(huì)自動(dòng)消失，相信只要我們無視醫(yī)療危機(jī)它就會(huì)自行解除，那是一廂情愿的無知。不，我在談更根本的問題。我在談奴隸們圍坐在篝火旁唱頌自由的歌謠時(shí)的希望；我在談移民背井離鄉(xiāng)駛向遙遠(yuǎn)海岸時(shí)的希望；我在談年輕的海軍上尉勇敢地在湄公河三角洲巡邏時(shí)的希望；我在談一個(gè)紡織工的兒子敢創(chuàng)敢拼時(shí)的希望；我在談一個(gè)有著滑稽名字的、干瘦的小孩也相信美國也會(huì)有一片屬于他的天地時(shí)的希望。希望就是勇氣，希望就是力量！其實(shí)，希望是上帝賜予我們的最好禮物，是這個(gè)民族的基石，是堅(jiān)信不曾見到的前景，是堅(jiān)信明天會(huì)更好。我相信我們能為中產(chǎn)階級提供幫助，為工薪階層制造更多的機(jī)會(huì)；我相信我們能為失業(yè)者提供工作，讓無家可歸者有家，從暴力和絕望中挽救美國都市里的年輕人。我相信當(dāng)我們站在歷史的十字路口時(shí)，我們能作出正確的抉擇，并迎接我們面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。美利堅(jiān)！今晚，如果你們跟我感同身受，有同樣的力量、同樣的急迫感、同樣的沖動(dòng)和同樣的希望；如果我們?nèi)プ鑫覀儽仨氉龅氖拢敲次蚁嘈?，從佛羅里達(dá)州到俄勒岡州，從華盛頓州到緬因州，全國人民將會(huì)在11月奮起行動(dòng)，使約翰克里宣誓就任總統(tǒng)，約翰愛德華茲宣誓就任副總統(tǒng)，而這個(gè)國家也將會(huì)重新恢復(fù)她的承諾。政治黑暗已經(jīng)到了盡頭，更為光明的一天就要來到。謝謝大家，愿上帝保佑你們。更多了解美國選舉制度和政黨政治，2008年美國的大選，請點(diǎn)擊本站系列專稿：追蹤美國大選（I）1月21日至2月7日、追蹤美國大選（II）2月7日－2月29日“美國總統(tǒng)、總統(tǒng)選舉和政黨政治”、關(guān)中人：開場即驚心動(dòng)魄的2008年美國大選、斯坦福大學(xué)研究員：巴拉克奧巴馬有魅力沒“理念”、關(guān)中人：911改變美國青年

aware that my parents39。 dreams live on in my precious stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even , we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago, “We hold these truths to he selfevident, that all men are created they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the we can have an idea and start our own

of hope? John Kerry calls on us to Edwards calls on us to 39。m not talking about blind optimism hereif we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Maine, the people will rise up in November, and John Kerry will be sworn in as president, and John Edwards will be sworn in as vice president, and this country will reclaim its promise, and out of this long political darkness a brighter day will you and God bless you.第四篇：奧巴馬芝加哥演說Hello, Chicago!芝加哥，你好！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 ，懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們這個(gè)時(shí)代依然燃燒，懷疑我們民主的力量，那么今晚這些疑問都有了答案。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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different。that their
