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人,無論你是首次參加選舉還是為投票曾長時(shí)間排隊(duì)等候。順便說一句,我

6、們需要解決這些問題。無論你是到投票站投票還是發(fā)傳真投票,無論你選的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼,你都讓別人聽到了自己的聲音,你都讓美國因你而不同。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)羅姆尼州長說幾句話,我對(duì)他和保羅萊恩在這次競爭激烈的選舉中的表現(xiàn)表示祝賀。我們可能爭奪得很激烈,但這僅僅是因?yàn)槲覀兩類壑@個(gè)國家以及我們?nèi)绱藦?qiáng)烈地關(guān)心著它的未來。從喬治到勒諾到他們的兒子米特,羅姆尼家族選擇了通過公共服務(wù)來回報(bào)美國,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坐下來討論一下我們可以從何處著手一起努力將美國推向前進(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)我在過去四年中的朋友和伙伴表示感謝。他就是美國的快樂戰(zhàn)士、無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.

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是自負(fù)者之間的競爭,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)場組織者的聲音里聽到他的決心,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到深深的愛國情懷。他們深夜時(shí)還在接聽選舉電話,以確保那些曾經(jīng)為這個(gè)國家作戰(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.今晚過后,這都不會(huì)改變,也不應(yīng)該改變。我們進(jìn)行的這些爭論恰恰體現(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匾獑栴}進(jìn)行爭論、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,盡管我們存在這樣那樣的分歧,我們大多數(shù)人都對(duì)美國的未來有著某些共同的希望。我們希望我們的孩子成長的國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)無愧于全球技術(shù)、探索和創(chuàng)新領(lǐng)袖光輝歷史的國家,倘能如此,各種好工作和新企業(yè)將隨之而來。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)沒有債務(wù)之累、沒有不公之苦、沒有全球變暖帶來的破壞之虞的美國。我們希望留給后代一個(gè)安全、受到全球尊重和贊賞的國家,一個(gè)由全球有史以來最強(qiáng)大的軍事力量和最好的部隊(duì)保衛(wèi)的國家,一個(gè)滿懷信
