20、erica”ii let us crown thy good withbrotherhood from sea to shining sea. ”and now my friends in a phrase i once addressed to others it' s time for me to go. tha nk you and good ni ghtand god bless america .晚上好：我剛跟喬治 W 布什談過話,祝賀他成為合眾國第43位總統(tǒng)；我向他保證，這回絕不會再打電話給他追回原話了。我提議盡快和他會面，盡快消除過去的競選運動和官司所帶來的分歧。差不多一

21、個半世紀前，參議員道格拉斯對總統(tǒng)選舉擊敗自己的林肯說：“黨派的門戶之見必須讓路給愛國主義。我支持你，總統(tǒng)先生,愿主保佑你?！蹦敲?，在這樣的精神下，我對候任總統(tǒng)布什說，我們一定要將黨派之爭結下的仇恨拋諸腦 后，愿主保佑他好好管治這個國家?！斑@條路是那么崎嶇漫長”他和我誰都料想不到這條路是那么崎嶇漫長。當然,我們誰也不希望這些事會發(fā)生。不過,事情到底來了 ,現(xiàn)在結束了 ,而且果然通過我們民主政體的機制解決了。我國一所法律學院的圖書館上鐫刻著這樣的一句格言:“聽命于法與主 ,而非聽命于人”這是美國自由的核心原則 ,也是民主自由之濫觴。在投票日之后的五個星期里, 我以此為鑒這也是美國獨立以來所有復雜事

22、件的引鑒?，F(xiàn)在 ,美國最高法院終于做出了決定。 讓我說得清楚一點 ,在我極為不同意的同時 ,我接受 了最高法院的決定。 我接受了最終的結果 ,下星期一 ,這個結果會在選舉人團會議上得到確認。 今天晚上 ,為了國人的團結和美國民主 ,我認輸了。我也負起責任 ,無條件支持新的候任總統(tǒng) ,盡我所能幫助他團結美國人民 ,實現(xiàn)我國 獨立 宣言中所標舉的廣袤視野 ,實現(xiàn)憲法中允諾和保障的一切。讓我向那些支持我和支持我們所捍衛(wèi)的理念的人衷心致謝。 蒂佩爾和我對利伯曼夫婦銘 感五中 ,他們?yōu)槲覀z的伙伴關系帶來懇切的熱誠和崇高的心志,不僅為競選活動開辟了新徑也為我國開辟了新徑。這次大選的確是非比尋常的一次大選。

23、不過 ,在天意難料的崎嶇路途上 ,幾經(jīng)蹉跎 ,竟然把,反而提醒了我們原來大家同是一個,在面對公眾意愿的兩難之下展開激烈,勝方和被征服的一方都心平氣和地接我們帶到一個嶄新的境地。正是由于選舉結果如此接近 族群 ,有著一樣的歷史、一樣的命運?！拔覀儼褔曳旁谡h之上”是的 ,那段歷史給了我們許多成敗浮沉的前車之鑒 的辯論、無情的抗爭。有些爭論在纏訟幾個星期后才得以解決。每一次 受結局 ,帶著重歸于好精神接受結果。因此 ,就讓這種精神永遠和我們一起吧。我知道很多支持我的人都很失望。 我也失望。 但失望必須讓給我們對國家的熱愛。 我也 對世界各國說 ,不要把這次爭論看成是美國趨弱的癥狀。通過克服這一連串困難,畢竟彰顯了美國民主的力量。也有人擔心 ,這次選舉凸顯的反常狀況 ,勢必影響新一任總統(tǒng)的施政舉措。我不
