　　Thank you, God bless you, and from my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
　　謝謝，上帝保佑你。不管我們多么不同，我們都是美國大家庭的一份子。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。這樣的大度慷慨是我們美國人性格中的核心部分。
　　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。

　　我們今天會和家人朋友一起享用美味的食物、講故事、看點(diǎn)足球比賽，最重要的是，感恩——就像你們大多數(shù)人一樣。
　　That’s something to be grateful for – today and every day.
　　總有些事是值得我們感激的——今天以及每一天。
　　As Americans, we are a bold, generous, bighearted people. When our brothers and sisters are in need, we roll up our sleeves and get to work – not for the recognition or the reward, but because it’s the right thing to do. Because there but for the grace of God go I. And because here in America, we rise or fall together, as one nation and one people.
　　作為美國人，我們勇敢，慷慨，善良。我們看到了醫(yī)護(hù)人員利用午休時間發(fā)放救援物資。
　　Right now, as we prepare to gather around our dinner tables, there are families in the northeast who don’t have that luxury. Many of them have lost everything to Hurricane Sandy – homes, possessions, even loved ones. And it will be a long time before life goes back to normal.

　　對于我們來說，就像你們大家一樣，這一天會在家人和朋友中度過，一起吃感恩節(jié)食物，看橄欖球比賽。我呼吁美國全體人民，不論是在家中、在敬拜場所、在社區(qū)中心，還是在任何與親朋好友及左鄰右舍歡聚的地方，共同對我們過去一年所得的一切表 示感謝，向那些用他們的生命豐富了我們的生活的人表示感謝。
　　As we gather in our munities and in our homes, around the table or near the hearth, we give thanks to each other and to God for the many kindnesses and forts that grace our lives. Let us pause to recount the simple gifts that sustain us, and resolve to pay them forward in the year to e.
