1、奧巴馬勝選演講稿(中英文對(duì)照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 forward.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。It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed

2、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

3、one people.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。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 h

5、r 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 youheld an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.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

6、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。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 L

7、enore 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 forwar

8、d.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)。I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, Americas happy warrior, the best vice president anybody

9、 could ever hope for, Joe Biden.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。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 lov

10、e 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.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)

11、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。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 v

12、ery 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

13、 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.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)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

14、,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。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 fo

15、lks 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.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。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

16、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)加班工作的人,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一些別的東西。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 becaus

17、e 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 c

18、ome home.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。Thats why we do this. Thats what politics can be. Thats why elections matter. Its not small, i

19、ts 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.正因?yàn)槿绱?我們要

20、進(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。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 dis

21、tant 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.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)。But despite all our differences, most

22、 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

23、that follow.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,倘能如此,各種好工作和新企業(yè)將隨之而來(lái)。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 pla

24、net. 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.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
