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 dreams, 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 in 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 picked up the phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Gov. Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but its only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From 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 country forward.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, Americas happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.And I wouldnt be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly: Michelle, 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 nations first lady. Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes youre growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom. And Im so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now one dogs 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 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 everything that youve 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. 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, youll discover something else.Youll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer whos working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. Youll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer whos going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. Youll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse whos 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.Thats why we do this. Thats what politics can be. Thats why elections matter. Its not small, its big. Its 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 controversy.That wont change after tonight, and it shouldnt. 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 ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for Americas 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 discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.We want our children to live in an America that isnt burdened by debt, that isnt weakened by inequality, that isnt threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. We want to pass on a country thats safe and 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 for every human being.We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrants 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 corner. To the furniture workers child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president thats the future we hope for. Thats the vision we share. Thats where we need to go forward. Thats where we need to go.Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. Its not always a straight line. Its not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams wont end all the gridlock or 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 whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you, and youve 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.Tonight 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 tax code. Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil. Weve got more work to do.But that doesnt mean your work is done. The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote. Americas never been about what can be done for us. Its about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government. Thats the principle we were founded on.This country has more wealth than any nation, but thats not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history, but thats not what makes us strong. Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but thats 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 certain 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. Thats what makes America great.I am hopeful tonight because Ive seen the spirit at work in America. Ive 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. Ive seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.Ive 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 community 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 insurance 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 fathers story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes, because we knew that little girl could be our own. And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright. Thats who we are. Thats the country Im so proud to lead as your president.And tonight, despite all the hardship weve been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, Ive never been more hopeful about our future. I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope. Im 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. Im not talking about the wishful idealism that 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 fighting.America, I believe we can build on the progress weve 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 youre willing to work hard, it doesnt matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesnt matter whether youre 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 youre willing to try.I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. Were 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.And together with your help and Gods 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.同聲傳譯譯文（來自鳳凰網(wǎng)/world/special/usa2012/content-3/detail_2012_11/07/18926762_0.shtml）：奧巴馬（美國總統(tǒng)當(dāng)選人）：謝謝，非常感謝各位。今晚，是在一個(gè)曾經(jīng)的殖民地在贏得自己主權(quán)200多年之后，我們來到這里，不斷前行，這主要是因?yàn)槟銈儓?jiān)信這個(gè)國家能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)永恒的希望，實(shí)現(xiàn)移民的夢想。每一個(gè)人都可以獨(dú)立的爭取自己的未來，我們將會作為一個(gè)國家共同起落。今晚，在選舉的過程當(dāng)中，你們美國的人民，讓我們記得我們的道路是非常艱辛的，我們的道路是漫長的，我們重新站了起來，我們也從內(nèi)心知道，美國還沒有迎來最好的時(shí)代。我想要感謝每一個(gè)參與選舉的美國人。無論你們是第一次投票，還是(排隊(duì))等了很長的時(shí)間才投上一票順便說一下我會解決這個(gè)問題。無論你是自己上門投的票，還是打電話投的票；無論你是投給奧巴馬的人，還是投給羅姆尼的人，你都是為我們國家?guī)磙D(zhuǎn)變的力量。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。我們的選戰(zhàn)也許非常激烈，但這正是因?yàn)槲覀兩類壑@個(gè)國家，并且我們十分在意它的未來。從羅姆尼整個(gè)家庭，孫子輩，孩子輩，整個(gè)家庭都獻(xiàn)給了美國，這種精神我們將永遠(yuǎn)銘記。幾周之后我將會同羅姆尼坐在一起，討論我們怎么樣推動國家未來的發(fā)展。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(之所以)成為現(xiàn)在的我，必須要感謝20年前與我結(jié)婚的女人。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。薩莎和瑪莉亞，我摯愛的女兒，你們兩個(gè)是非常堅(jiān)強(qiáng)也非常聰明的女性，就像你們的母親一樣，我對你們感到非常的驕傲，但是目前我覺得給你們養(yǎng)一條寵物狗就夠了。我還要感謝我的競選團(tuán)隊(duì)和志愿者，他們是最好的，最棒的，而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次來聽我的演說，有些人四年前就聽了我的獲勝演說，但是每個(gè)人對我來講都是我的一分子，不管你做了什么，不管你去了哪里，你一定會記得我們今天晚上所創(chuàng)的歷史，你會一生都感激今晚這個(gè)時(shí)刻，而且你們會一直記得有一個(gè)心懷感激的總統(tǒng)，謝謝你們一路以來對我的信任，我要感謝你們所做的每一件事情。正是因?yàn)橛辛四銈儯也艜宦穲?jiān)持下來。我對此將永遠(yuǎn)感謝，不管你做的什么，你們所做的一切我都心懷感激，并且永遠(yuǎn)鳴謝。我知道這些政治競選，可能有時(shí)候看起來非常愚蠢，而且我們也聽到很多人跟我們講政治有的時(shí)候十分愚蠢，可能他只是利益的追求和沖突，但是如果你們真的有機(jī)會去和競選活動上和人們談?wù)撘恍﹩栴}，或者你看到一些競選團(tuán)隊(duì)，非常辛勤工作的志愿者們，你們的印象會有所改觀，因?yàn)槟隳軌蚩吹剿麄冇卸啻蟮臎Q心。他們也從大學(xué)畢業(yè)，并希望每一個(gè)孩子得到像他們一樣的機(jī)會。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(jī)會，他們會感到非常的驕傲。大家也會看到我們軍人深深的愛國情意，他們守護(hù)著美國的安全，我們將保證他們回國之后不會再為找工作而煩惱。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。這并不是小事情，而是大事情，是至關(guān)重要的事情。我們這個(gè)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(gè)人可能都有自己的觀點(diǎn)，每個(gè)人都有自己深深的信仰，在我們經(jīng)歷艱難時(shí)刻，做出艱難抉擇時(shí)，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)。這些爭論正是我們自由的基礎(chǔ)，我們永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記我們說話的時(shí)候，許多國家的人民仍然在冒著風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，希望能夠找到解決問題的方法，希望能夠爭取投票的權(quán)利。盡管我們有很多的分歧，大多數(shù)人都對美國有共同的希望，我們都希望我們的孩子能夠上最好的學(xué)校，有最好的老師；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)。我希望我們的孩子不是負(fù)債累累，不會受到恐怖力量的威脅。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(qiáng)大、最優(yōu)秀的軍隊(duì)。同時(shí)我們的國家也應(yīng)該是充滿信心的國家，結(jié)束戰(zhàn)爭，重塑人類的和平。與此同時(shí)我們也希望自己的國家，有信心，并且能夠不斷推動每個(gè)人的自由、繁榮和發(fā)展，我們相信美國的慷慨和包容，美國的自由和開放，我們將伸開雙手迎接那些移民的子女來到美國。我們相信在芝加哥任何一個(gè)孩子都可以看到他的希望，在北卡州那些想要成為科學(xué)家和醫(yī)生的學(xué)生，想要成為工程師，甚至是總統(tǒng)的學(xué)生，這是我們共同要爭取的未來，這是我們共同分享的愿景，這也是我們前進(jìn)的方向。我們有的時(shí)候會對于怎么樣向前進(jìn)有非常強(qiáng)烈的分歧，200年來，大家知道我們的進(jìn)步一直不是直線的，也不是一帆風(fēng)順，我們伴隨著很多分歧和不同。我們意識到我們有著共同的夢想，將會使我們結(jié)束僵局，努力的促成問題的解決。我們需要妥協(xié)，
