這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項“第一”，誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事，但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女：安妮她和無數(shù)排隊等候投票的選民沒有什么差別，唯一的不同是她高齡106歲。 a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky。t vote for two reasons —

安妮經(jīng)歷了上世紀(jì)三十年代的大蕭條。她看到了美國以新政、新的就業(yè)機會以及嶄新的共同追求

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to

二戰(zhàn)時期，炸彈襲擊我們的海港，全世界受到獨裁專制威脅，安妮見證了一代美國人的英雄本色，他們捍衛(wèi)了民主。
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma and a preacher from

安妮經(jīng)歷了蒙哥馬利公交車事件、伯明翰黑人暴動事件、塞爾馬血醒周末事件。
是的，我們能。今年，在這次選舉中，安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕，投下自己的一票。

【第2篇】奧巴馬競選總統(tǒng)獲勝演講稿
“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
謝謝，非常感謝各位。每一個人都可以獨立的爭取自己的未來，我們將會作為一個國家共同起落。
[cheering] I want to thank every American who participated in this election [CHEERING] Whether you voted for the very first time or waiting in line for a very long time. By the way, we need to fix that. Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone. Whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you mad your voice heard. And you made a difference. I just got off the phone with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hardfought campaign.
我想要感謝每一個參與選舉的美國人。無論你是自己上門投的票，還是打電話投的票。我剛剛同羅姆尼通過電話，我祝賀他們這次競選所取得的成績。
From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to Americans through public service. And that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. [CHEERING] In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. [CHEERING] I want to thank my friend and partner for the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for: Joe Biden.
從羅姆尼整個家庭，孫子輩，孩子輩，整個家庭都獻(xiàn)給了美國，這種精神我們將永遠(yuǎn)銘記。我也感謝在過去四年辛苦奉獻(xiàn)的搭檔，也是美國最好的副總統(tǒng)，拜登先生。我想公開地表達(dá)：米歇爾，我從來沒有像現(xiàn)在這樣愛你!我為你感到非常非常的驕傲，我相信我們的國家也非常愛你，你是我們非常熱愛的美國第一夫人。
To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics. The best. The best ever. Some of you were this time around. Some of you were new this time around and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning but all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the life long appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley. [applause] You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in. [applause]
我還要感謝我的競選團(tuán)隊和志愿者，他們是最好的，最棒的，而且是史上最棒的。正是因為有了你們，我才會一路堅持下來。
I know that political campaigns can sometime seem small, even silly, and that provides plenty of fodder for the synics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turn out at rallies and crowded out along a ropline in a high school gym or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else。他們也從大學(xué)畢業(yè)，并希望每一個孩子得到像他們一樣的機會。 it necisarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.
大家會聽到志愿者驕傲的聲音，當(dāng)他們看到當(dāng)?shù)氐钠嚿a(chǎn)商增加了就業(yè)的機會，他們會感到非常的驕傲。這就是我們現(xiàn)在所做的一切，這就是我們政治的目的，這也是為什么選舉如此重要。我們這個擁有3億人口的國家，民主的情緒可能十分復(fù)雜，可能十分混亂，每個人可能都有自己的觀點，每個人都有自己深深的信仰，在我們經(jīng)歷艱難時刻，做出艱難抉擇時，我們很自然會有沖突，會有情感的表達(dá)，但是我認(rèn)為它不應(yīng)當(dāng)影響我們今晚的表現(xiàn)。
But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America’s future. We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers. [applause] A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation。我們的國家成為技術(shù)以及創(chuàng)新方面的領(lǐng)袖，并且創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)崗位和更多的企業(yè)。我們也希望我們的國家是安全的，在全球受到尊重和羨慕，并且擁有全世界最強大、最優(yōu)秀的軍隊。
We believe in a generous America, in a passionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrants daughter that studies in our schools and pledges to our flag. To the young boy on the south side of Chicago, who sees a light beyond the nearest street corner. To the furniture workers child in North Carolina who wants to bee a engineer or a scientist. And engineer or an entrepreneur. A diplomat or even a president, that’s the future we hope for. That’s the vision we share, that’s where we need to go. Forward. That’s where w
