embrace the joyous task we39。ve been given to continually try to improve this great nation of for all our outward differences, we all share the same proud title: ；每個人都應(yīng)該熱情洋溢地投身于發(fā)展我們偉大的國家這一使命。因為我們的外表也許不同，但我們都被授予了同一頭銜：公民。Ultimately, that39。s what our democracy needs just when there39。s an election, not just when your own narrow interest is at stake,

needs fixing, lace up your shoes and do some you39。re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office ，那便和現(xiàn)實中的人交流吧；如果遇到了麻煩，那便系好鞋帶去行動吧；如果對自己選出的政客失望，那便抓起紙板、寫上你的名字然后親自參加競選吧。參與進來、投入進去然后堅持到底。Sometimes you39。ll you39。ll a reservoir of goodness in others can be a risk, and there will be times when the process disappoints for those of us fortunate enough to have been a part of this work, to see it up close, let me tell you, it can energize and more often than not, your faith in America – and in Americans – will be ，有時你將面臨失敗。假定他人總心懷善意是有風(fēng)險的，有時你會感到失望。但是對于那些幸運的、得以參與其中一部分工作并見證這些工作得以完成的人來說，他們從中吸取了力量，備受鼓舞。更重要的是，他們對美國、對美國人的信念從中得到了肯定。Mine sure has the course of these eight years, I39。ve seen the hopeful faces of young graduates and our newest military 39。ve mourned with grieving families searching for answers, and found grace in Charleston 39。ve seen our scientists help a paralyzed man

our obligations to care for refugees, to work in peace, and above all to look out for each 。這八年，我看到那么多年輕畢業(yè)生和新晉軍官洋溢著希望的臉龐。我和心碎的、失落的家庭一同悲傷，我也曾在查爾斯頓教堂中蒙恩。（譯者注：2015年6月17日，在美國南卡羅萊納州查爾斯頓的一起重大槍擊案。一名白人在當?shù)氐囊蛔谌私烫瞄_槍，造成九人死亡，包括一名議員）我看到我們的科學(xué)家?guī)椭粋€癱瘓男人重獲觸感，讓受傷的戰(zhàn)士恢復(fù)行走能力。我看到地震后我們的醫(yī)生和志愿者們開展重建工作、遏止流行疾病的蔓延。我看到很小的孩子用行動和寬容給予我們警醒——我們身負幫助難民的責(zé)任，我們應(yīng)該為實現(xiàn)和平而努力，最重要的是，我們得愛護彼此。That faith I placed all those years ago, not far from here, in the power of ordinary Americans to bring about change – that faith has been rewarded in ways I couldn39。t possibly have hope yours has, of you
