1、【恒心】奧巴馬連任勝選演說(shuō)全文【中英雙譯】 resident Barack Obama’s speech in Chicago after his re-election Tuesday night, as transcribed by Roll Call: Thank you so much. Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forwar

2、d. It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual drea

3、ms, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know i

4、n our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come. I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that. Whether you pounded the pavement or pic

6、her at the White House Baldwin Defeats Thompson to Win Wisconsin Senate Seat I just spoke with Gov. Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From

7、 George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this co

8、untry forward. I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. And I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly: Michelle

9、, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady. Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom. And I’m so proud of you guys. B

10、ut I will say that for now one dog’s probably enough. To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics. The best. The best ever. 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

11、do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley. You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for

12、 everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you put in. I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests.

13、But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else. You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a

14、 young field organizer who’s working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. You’ll hear the d

15、eep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who’s working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home. That’s why we do this. That’s what politics can be. That’s why elections matter.

16、 It’s not small, it’s big. It’s important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up c

17、ontroversy. That won’t change after tonight, and it shouldn’t. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their bal

18、lots like we did today. 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. A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and di

19、scovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow. We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. We want to pass on a country that’s safe a

20、nd respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this — this world has ever known. But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity fo

21、r every human being. We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrant’s daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag. To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corn

22、er. To the furniture worker’s child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an 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 we need to go. Now, we

23、 will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. It’s not always a straight line. It’s not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won’t end all the gridlock or

24、solve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward. But that common bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. A decade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over. And whethe

25、r I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you, and you’ve made me a better president. And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead. Ton

26、ight you voted for action, not politics as usual. You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our t

27、ax code. Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We’ve got more work to do. But that doesn’t mean your work is done. The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote. America’s never been about what can be done for us. It’s about what can be done by us

28、together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government. That’s the principle we were founded on. This country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history, but that’s not what makes us strong. Our univ

29、ersity, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that’s not what keeps the world coming to our shores. What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth. The belief that our destiny is shared; that this country only works when we accept certai

30、n obligations to one another and to future generations. The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights. And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That’s what makes America great. I am hopeful tonight because I’ve

31、seen the spirit at work in America. I’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job. I’ve seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limb and i

32、n those seals who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back. I’ve seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a communi

33、ty rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm. And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the i

34、nsurance company was about to stop paying for her care. I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father, but meet this incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowd listening to that father’s story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes, because we knew that little g

35、irl could be our own. And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright. That’s who we are. That’s the country I’m so proud to lead as your president. And tonight, despite all the hardship we’ve been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I’ve never been more hop

36、eful about our future. I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope. I’m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that

37、allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighti

38、ng. America, I believe we can build on the progress we’ve made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you

39、 come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here in America if you’re willing to try. I believe we can seize this futu

40、re together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We’re not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America. A

41、nd together with your help and God’s grace we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on Earth. Thank you, America. God bless you. God bless these United States. 譯文： Obama’s Victory Speech 美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬(Barack Obama)周二晚勝選后在芝加哥發(fā)表演講，

42、演講文字稿由Roll Call記錄。 非常感謝你們。 今夜，在當(dāng)年的殖民地贏得了決定自己命運(yùn)的權(quán)利200多年以后，讓美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)更加完美的任務(wù)又向前推進(jìn)了一步。 這一進(jìn)程是因?yàn)槟銈兌蚯巴七M(jìn)的，因?yàn)槟銈冊(cè)俅未_認(rèn)了那種使美國(guó)勝利克服了戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和蕭條的精神，那種使美國(guó)擺脫絕望的深淵并走向希望的最高點(diǎn)的精神，以及那種雖然我們每個(gè)人都在追求自己的個(gè)人夢(mèng)想、但我們同屬一個(gè)美國(guó)大家庭、并作為一個(gè)國(guó)家和民族共同進(jìn)退的信仰。 今夜，在此次選舉中，你們這些美國(guó)人民提醒我們，雖然我們的道路一直艱難，雖然我們的旅程一直漫長(zhǎng)，但我們已經(jīng)讓自己振作起來(lái)，我們已經(jīng)發(fā)起反擊，我們?cè)谧约簝?nèi)心深處知

43、道，對(duì)美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)來(lái)說(shuō)，最美好一切屬于未來(lái)。 我想感謝所有參加此次選舉的美國(guó)人，無(wú)論你是首次參加選舉還是為投票曾長(zhǎng)時(shí)間排隊(duì)等候。順便說(shuō)一句，我們需要解決這些問(wèn)題。無(wú)論你是到投票站投票還是發(fā)傳真投票，無(wú)論你選的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼，你都讓別人聽(tīng)到了自己的聲音，你都讓美國(guó)因你而不同。 我要對(duì)羅姆尼州長(zhǎng)說(shuō)幾句話，我對(duì)他和保羅?萊恩在這次競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的選舉中的表現(xiàn)表示祝賀。我們可能爭(zhēng)奪得很激烈，但這僅僅是因?yàn)槲覀兩類?ài)著這個(gè)國(guó)家以及我們?nèi)绱藦?qiáng)烈地關(guān)心著它的未來(lái)。從喬治到勒諾到他們的兒子米特，羅姆尼家族選擇了通過(guò)公共服務(wù)來(lái)回報(bào)美國(guó)，那是一種我們今夜表示敬重和贊許的遺產(chǎn)。我期待著今后幾周能與羅姆尼

44、州長(zhǎng)坐下來(lái)討論一下我們可以從何處著手一起努力將美國(guó)推向前進(jìn)。 我想對(duì)我在過(guò)去四年中的朋友和伙伴表示感謝。他就是美國(guó)的快樂(lè)戰(zhàn)士、無(wú)出其右的最佳副總統(tǒng)喬?拜登。 如果不是那位20年前同意嫁給我的女性，我不會(huì)成為今天的我。請(qǐng)讓我公開(kāi)說(shuō)出下面這段話：米切爾，我對(duì)你的愛(ài)無(wú)以復(fù)加，我無(wú)比驕傲地看到其他美國(guó)人也愛(ài)上了你這位我們國(guó)家的第一夫人。薩沙和瑪利亞，在我們所有人的見(jiàn)證下你們正成長(zhǎng)為兩個(gè)堅(jiān)強(qiáng)、聰明和美麗的年輕女性，就像你們的媽媽一樣。我十分以你們?yōu)闃s。不過(guò)我要說(shuō)的是，眼下家里養(yǎng)一條狗或許已經(jīng)夠了。 在這個(gè)有史以來(lái)的最佳競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)和有史以來(lái)的最佳志愿者隊(duì)伍中，你們有些人是這次新加入進(jìn)

45、來(lái)的，有些人則是一開(kāi)始就在我身邊。但你們所有人都屬于一個(gè)大家庭。無(wú)論你的工作是什么，無(wú)論你從哪里來(lái)，你們都將獲得我們共同創(chuàng)造的歷史記憶，你們都將被一位充滿感激之情的總統(tǒng)終生感激。感謝你們始終充滿信心，無(wú)論是在高峰還是在低谷。你們鼓舞著我走完整個(gè)選舉過(guò)程，我對(duì)你們所做的每件事、你們所做的每項(xiàng)不可思議的工作將一直充滿感激。 我知道政治角力有時(shí)會(huì)顯得小家子氣甚至愚蠢。它為憤世嫉俗者提供了足夠的口實(shí)，他們告訴我們政治不過(guò)是自負(fù)者之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，是特殊利益集團(tuán)的地盤(pán)。但如果你曾經(jīng)有機(jī)會(huì)與參加我們集會(huì)的那些人以及高中體育館內(nèi)擠在隔離繩外的那些人攀談，或者看到那些在遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)的偏遠(yuǎn)小縣的競(jìng)選辦公室內(nèi)加班工

46、作的人，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一些別的東西。 你將從一位年輕的活動(dòng)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)組織者的聲音里聽(tīng)到他的決心，他邊在大學(xué)里學(xué)習(xí)邊從事助選工作，他希望確保每個(gè)孩子都能擁有同樣的機(jī)會(huì)。你將從一位志愿者的聲音里聽(tīng)到她的驕傲，她挨門(mén)動(dòng)員選民是因?yàn)樗绺缃K因當(dāng)?shù)匾患移囍圃鞆S增加了一個(gè)班次而有了工作。你將從一對(duì)軍人夫婦的聲音里聽(tīng)到深深的愛(ài)國(guó)情懷。他們深夜時(shí)還在接聽(tīng)選舉電話，以確保那些曾經(jīng)為這個(gè)國(guó)家作戰(zhàn)的人不會(huì)返回家園時(shí)還要為得到一份工作或棲身之所而苦苦爭(zhēng)斗。 正因?yàn)槿绱耍覀円M(jìn)行選舉。這是政治所能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)的。正因?yàn)槿绱?，選舉很重要。這不是小事，而是大事，是至關(guān)重要的事。在一個(gè)有三億人口的國(guó)家實(shí)行民主制度可能嘈雜不

47、堪、一團(tuán)混亂、情況復(fù)雜。我們有自己的觀點(diǎn)。我們每個(gè)人都有自己深信的信仰。當(dāng)我們經(jīng)歷艱難時(shí)期，當(dāng)我們作為一個(gè)國(guó)家做出重大決定時(shí)，這必然會(huì)激發(fā)熱情，也必然會(huì)引發(fā)爭(zhēng)議。 今晚過(guò)后，這都不會(huì)改變，也不應(yīng)該改變。我們進(jìn)行的這些爭(zhēng)論恰恰體現(xiàn)了我們的自由。我們永遠(yuǎn)不應(yīng)忘記，就在我們講話之際，遙遠(yuǎn)國(guó)度的人們現(xiàn)在正冒著生命危險(xiǎn)，僅僅是為了獲得一個(gè)能夠?qū)χ匾獑?wèn)題進(jìn)行爭(zhēng)論、像我們今天這樣投票的機(jī)會(huì)。 不過(guò)，盡管我們存在這樣那樣的分歧，我們大多數(shù)人都對(duì)美國(guó)的未來(lái)有著某些共同的希望。我們希望我們的孩子成長(zhǎng)的國(guó)家能夠讓他們上最好的學(xué)校、接受最好老師的教導(dǎo)。一個(gè)無(wú)愧于全球技術(shù)、探索和創(chuàng)新領(lǐng)袖光輝歷史的國(guó)家，

48、倘能如此，各種好工作和新企業(yè)將隨之而來(lái)。 我們希望我們的孩子能夠生活在一個(gè)沒(méi)有債務(wù)之累、沒(méi)有不公之苦、沒(méi)有全球變暖帶來(lái)的破壞之虞的美國(guó)。我們希望留給后代一個(gè)安全、受到全球尊重和贊賞的國(guó)家，一個(gè)由全球有史以來(lái)最強(qiáng)大的軍事力量和最好的部隊(duì)保衛(wèi)的國(guó)家，一個(gè)滿懷信心走過(guò)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、在人人享有自由和尊嚴(yán)的承諾之上構(gòu)建和平的國(guó)家。 我們堅(jiān)信一個(gè)慷慨的美國(guó)、一個(gè)富有同情心的美國(guó)、一個(gè)寬容的美國(guó)。美國(guó)向一位移民的女兒的夢(mèng)想打開(kāi)了大門(mén)，讓她有機(jī)會(huì)在我們的學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)、對(duì)著我們的國(guó)旗宣誓；美國(guó)向芝加哥南部地區(qū)的一個(gè)小男孩打開(kāi)了大門(mén)，讓有機(jī)會(huì)他看到一個(gè)最近街角以外的遠(yuǎn)大人生；美國(guó)向北卡羅來(lái)納州的一位家具工人的

49、孩子打開(kāi)了大門(mén)，讓他有機(jī)會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)自己當(dāng)醫(yī)生或科學(xué)家、工程師或企業(yè)家、外交官甚至是總統(tǒng)的夢(mèng)想，這是我們希望的未來(lái)。這是我們共同的愿景。這是我們奔赴的方向，向前的方向。這是我們需要實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)。 現(xiàn)在，我們對(duì)如何實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)存在分歧，有時(shí)分歧還很嚴(yán)重。正如兩個(gè)多世紀(jì)以來(lái)一樣，進(jìn)展的取得將是斷斷續(xù)續(xù)，并非總是一條直線，并非總是一帆風(fēng)順。 承認(rèn)我們擁有共同的希望和夢(mèng)想，僅憑這一點(diǎn)不會(huì)結(jié)束所有的僵局，或解決我們所有的問(wèn)題，或代替推動(dòng)這個(gè)國(guó)家向前所需的達(dá)成共識(shí)和做出艱難讓步的辛苦努力。不過(guò)，這一共同的紐帶是我們必須開(kāi)始的地方。 我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)正在好轉(zhuǎn)。長(zhǎng)達(dá)10年的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)即將結(jié)束。一場(chǎng)漫長(zhǎng)的競(jìng)

50、選現(xiàn)已落幕。無(wú)論我是否贏得了你們的選票，我一直在傾聽(tīng)你們的故事，向你們學(xué)習(xí)，是你們使我成為一位更好的總統(tǒng)。聽(tīng)過(guò)你們的故事和困難經(jīng)歷，我在重返白宮時(shí)對(duì)今后需要做的工作和未來(lái)將懷著比以往更堅(jiān)定的決心和更大的熱情。 今晚你們把票投給了行動(dòng)，而不是像以往投給了政治。你們選舉我們來(lái)專注于你們的工作，而不是我們的工作。在未來(lái)的幾周和幾個(gè)月內(nèi)，我將期待與兩黨領(lǐng)袖接觸并合作，以便面對(duì)我們團(tuán)結(jié)一致才能解決的問(wèn)題。減少赤字，改革稅法，修改移民制度，擺脫對(duì)外國(guó)石油的依賴。我們還很更多工作要做。 但這并不意味著你們的工作就此結(jié)束。民主國(guó)家公民的角色并不隨著投票完結(jié)而結(jié)束。美國(guó)看重的從來(lái)都不是能夠?yàn)槲覀?/p>

51、個(gè)人做些什么，而是我們團(tuán)結(jié)一致通過(guò)自治這一艱難、令人倍感挫折但必要的工作能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)什么。這正是我們的立國(guó)之本。 美國(guó)的財(cái)富多于世界上任何其他國(guó)家，但真正讓我們富有的并非金錢(qián)；我們擁有有史以來(lái)最強(qiáng)大的軍力，但真正讓我們充滿力量的并非軍隊(duì)；我們的大學(xué)和文化為全世界所艷羨，但美國(guó)真正吸引各國(guó)人踏上這片土地的魅力也不在于此。 真正讓美國(guó)與眾不同的，是將這個(gè)地球上最多元化的國(guó)家的人民團(tuán)結(jié)到一起的那些紐帶。是我們共命運(yùn)的信念，是只有當(dāng)我們肩負(fù)某些對(duì)彼此以及對(duì)后代的責(zé)任美國(guó)才能走下去的信念，是無(wú)數(shù)的美國(guó)人前赴后繼為之奮斗的自由──它既賦予了我們權(quán)利，也給我們帶來(lái)了責(zé)任；是愛(ài)、慈善、義務(wù)和愛(ài)國(guó)。

52、正是這些讓美國(guó)變得偉大。 今晚，我滿懷希望，因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)看到美國(guó)精神正在得以發(fā)揚(yáng)。我看到有些家族企業(yè)，所有者寧可減少自己的薪酬也不愿讓鄰居丟掉工作；我看到有些工人寧愿縮減自己的工時(shí)也不愿看到朋友沒(méi)有活干；我看到有些士兵在失去一條腿或胳膊之后又選擇再次入伍；我看到海豹突擊隊(duì)員不避危險(xiǎn)沖上樓梯、沖入黑暗，因?yàn)樗麄冎烙幸粋€(gè)兄弟在做他的后盾。 在新澤西和紐約的海岸，我也看到了美國(guó)精神。每一個(gè)政黨和各級(jí)政府的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者都捐棄分歧，為在駭人風(fēng)暴過(guò)后的廢墟上重建社區(qū)各盡己力。就在不久前的一天，在俄亥俄的門(mén)托，我看到一位父親在講述他8歲女兒的故事。這個(gè)女孩與白血病進(jìn)行了長(zhǎng)期的斗爭(zhēng)，如果不是因?yàn)閹讉€(gè)

53、月前通過(guò)的醫(yī)改法案，保險(xiǎn)公司就會(huì)停止支付醫(yī)療費(fèi)用，他們的家庭就將失去一切。 我曾有機(jī)會(huì)與這位父親攀談，不僅如此，我還見(jiàn)到了他的女兒，這個(gè)非常了不起的小姑娘。當(dāng)這位父親向傾聽(tīng)他的故事的人講述時(shí)，每一位在場(chǎng)的父母的眼里都含著淚水，因?yàn)槲覀冎?，我們自己的孩子也有可能遇到這種狀況。而且我知道，每一位美國(guó)人都希望這位小女孩的未來(lái)能像所有人的未來(lái)一樣光明。這就是美國(guó)人，這就是美國(guó)，我為自己能夠成為這個(gè)國(guó)家的總統(tǒng)、帶領(lǐng)這個(gè)國(guó)家前行感到無(wú)比光榮。 今晚，盡管我們?cè)庥隽撕芏嗬щy，盡管華盛頓有諸多不盡人意之處，我仍從未像現(xiàn)在這樣對(duì)未來(lái)充滿希望。我從未像現(xiàn)在這樣對(duì)美國(guó)充滿希望。我請(qǐng)大家也保持這樣的

54、希望。我所說(shuō)的并非盲目的樂(lè)觀主義，不是那種看不到眼前的任務(wù)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(shuō)的并非作壁上觀或是臨戰(zhàn)退縮的一廂情愿的理想主義。 我一直相信，所謂希望就是我們內(nèi)心倔強(qiáng)地堅(jiān)持的力量，相信不管有多少相反的證據(jù)，都要相信有更好的東西在等著我們，只要我們有勇氣不斷前行、不懈工作、不停戰(zhàn)斗。 國(guó)民們，我相信我們有能力在已經(jīng)取得的進(jìn)步的基礎(chǔ)上再進(jìn)一步，繼續(xù)為了給中產(chǎn)階級(jí)創(chuàng)造新的工作、新的機(jī)遇、新的保障而戰(zhàn)斗。我相信我們有能力信守開(kāi)國(guó)者們?cè)S下的諾言，信守這樣一種理念，那就是不管你是誰(shuí)，不管你來(lái)自哪里，不管你長(zhǎng)相如何，不管你愛(ài)著哪個(gè)地方，你所需要做的就是努力工

55、作。不管你的膚色是黑是白，不管你是拉美裔、亞裔還是美國(guó)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(guó)大有作為。 我相信我們有能力共同握住這樣的未來(lái)，因?yàn)槊绹?guó)人民并不像政界那么嚴(yán)重分歧。美國(guó)人民不像某些飽學(xué)之士所認(rèn)為的那樣憤世嫉俗。美國(guó)的抱負(fù)并不是每一個(gè)美國(guó)人的抱負(fù)的簡(jiǎn)單加總，美國(guó)也不是紅州和藍(lán)州的簡(jiǎn)單聯(lián)合。我們是美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)，我們將永遠(yuǎn)是美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。 有你們的幫助，有上帝的仁慈，我們將繼續(xù)攜手前行，讓全世界知道我們生活在全球最偉大的國(guó)度的原因到底是什么。 謝謝你，國(guó)民們，上帝保佑你們，上帝保佑美國(guó)。
