【正文】 know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly, and that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics are 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 turned out at our rallies and crowded along the rope line at a high school gym, or saw folks working late at a campaign office at some tiny county far away from home, you39。它為憤世嫉俗者提供了足夠的口實，他們告訴我們政治不過是自 負者之間的競爭，是特殊利益集團的地盤。You39。s working his way through college and wants to make sure that every child has that same 39。ll

why we do this, that39。s why elections 39。s big, it39。t change after tonight and it shouldn39。這是政治所能夠實現(xiàn)的。這不是小事，而是大事，是至關重要的事。我們有自己的觀點。當我們經(jīng)歷艱難時期，當我們作為一個國家做出重大決定時，這必然 會激發(fā)熱情，這都不會改變，也不應該改變。我們永遠不應忘記，就在我們講話之際，遙遠國度的人們現(xiàn)在正冒著生命危險，僅僅是為了獲得一個能夠對重要問題進行爭論、像我們今天這樣投票的機會。s future。我們希望我們的孩子成長的國家能夠讓他們上最好的學校、接受最好老師的教導。We want our children to live in America that isn39。t

39。美國向一位移民的女兒的夢想打開了大門，讓她有機會在我們的學校學習、對著我們的國旗宣 誓；美國向芝加哥南部地區(qū)的一個小男孩打開了大門，讓有機會他看到一個最近街角以外的遠大人生；美國向北卡羅來納州的一位家具工人的孩子打開了大門，讓他 有機會實現(xiàn)自己當醫(yī)生或科學家、工程師或企業(yè)家、外交官甚至是總統(tǒng)的夢想，這是我們希望的未來。這是我們奔赴的方向，向前的方向。Now we will disagree, sometimes fiercely about how to get there – as it has for more than two centuries progress will e

House more determined and more inspired about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.(Applause)現(xiàn)在，我們對如何實現(xiàn)這一目標存在分歧，有時分歧還很嚴重。承認我們擁有共同的希望和夢想，僅憑這一點不會結束所有的僵局，或解決我們所有的問題，或代替推動這個國家向前所需的達成共識和做出艱難讓步的辛苦努力。我們的經(jīng)濟正在好轉。一場漫長的競選現(xiàn)已落幕。聽過你們的故事和困難經(jīng)歷，我在重返白宮時對今后需要做的工作和未來將懷著比以往更堅定的決心和更大的熱情。reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign 39。你們選舉我們來專注于你們的工作，而不是我們的工作。減少赤字，改革稅法，修改移民制度，擺脫對外國石油的依賴。But that doesn39。s about what can be done by

美國的財富多于世界上任何其他國家，但真正讓我們富有的并非金錢；我們擁有有史以來最強大的軍力，但真正讓我們充滿力量的并非軍隊；我們的大學和文化為全世界所艷羨，但美國真正吸引各國人踏上這片土地的魅力也不在于此。是我們共命運的信念，是只有當我們肩負某些對彼此以及對后代的責任美國才 能走下去的信念，是無數(shù)的美國人前赴后繼為之奮斗的自由──它既賦予了我們權利，也給我們帶來了責任；是愛、慈善、義務和愛國。I am hopeful tonight because I39。ve seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALS that charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their 晚，我滿懷希望，因為我已經(jīng)看到美國精神正在得以發(fā)揚。I39。s story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes

過的醫(yī)改法案，保險公司就會停止支付醫(yī)療費用，他們的家庭就將失去一切。當這位父親向傾聽他的故事的人講述時，每一位在場的父母的眼里都含著淚水，因為我們知道，我們自己的孩子也有可能遇到這種狀況。這就是美國人，這就是美國，我為自己能夠成為這個國家的總統(tǒng)、帶領這個國家前行感 到無比光榮。ve been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I39。m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our 39。我從未像現(xiàn)在這樣對美國 充滿希望。我所說的并非盲目的樂觀主義，不是那種看不到眼前的任務有多么艱巨、看不到前行的路上有什么樣的障礙的希望；我所說 的并非作壁上觀或是臨戰(zhàn)退縮的一廂情愿的理想主義。America, I believe we can build on the progress we39。re willing to work hard, it doesn39。t matter whether you39。re willing to ，我相信我們有能力在已經(jīng)取得的進步的基礎上再進一步，繼續(xù)為了給中產(chǎn)階級創(chuàng)造新的工作、新的機遇、新的保障而戰(zhàn)斗。不管你的膚色是黑是 白，不管你是拉美裔、亞裔還是美國原住民，不管你年輕還是年老，富有還是貧窮，身體健全或是殘障，同性戀還是異性戀，只要你愿意努力，就能夠在美國大有作為。美國人民不像某些飽學之士所認為的那樣憤世嫉俗。我們是美利堅合眾國，我們將永遠是美利堅合眾國。Thank you bless bless these United States.(Applause)謝謝你，國民們，上帝保佑你們，上帝保佑美國。s
