Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the rightto determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our unionmoves forward.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit tha

2、t has triumphed over war anddepression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depthsof despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while eachof us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an Americanfamily and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.(APPLAU

3、SE)Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded usthat while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long,we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and weknow in our hearts that for the United States of America the bestis yet to come.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: I wan

4、t to thank every American who participated in thiselection.(APPLAUSE). whether you voted for the very first time or waited in linefor a very long time.(APPLAUSE)By the way, we have to fix that.(APPLAUSE)Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone.(APPLAUSE). whether you held an Obama sig

5、n or a Romney sign, you madeyour voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him andPaul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.(APPLAUSE)We may have battled fiercely, but its only because we love thiscountry deeply and we care so strongly about its future. Fr

6、omGeorge to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen togive back to America through public service and that is the legacythat we honor and applaud tonight.(APPLAUSE)In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down withGovernor Romney to talk about where we can work together to m

7、ovethis country forward.(APPLAUSE)I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years,Americas happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could everhope for, Joe Biden.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And I wouldnt be the man I am today without the womanwho agreed to marry me 20 years ago.(APPLAUSE)Let

8、 me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in lovewith you, too, as our nations first lady.(APPLAUSE)Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes youre growing up tobecome two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like yourmo

9、m.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And Im so proud of you guys. But I will say that for nowone dogs probably enough.(LAUGHTER)To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history ofpolitics.(APPLAUSE)The best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time around,and some of you have been at my side since the ver

10、y beginning.(APPLAUSE)But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you gofrom here, you will carry the memory of the history we madetogether and you will have the life-long appreciation of a gratefulpresident. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill,through every valley.

11、(APPLAUSE)You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful foreverything that youve done and all the incredible work that youput in.(APPLAUSE)I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, evensilly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tellus that politics i

12、s nothing more than a contest of egos or thedomain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talkto folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a ropeline in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaignoffice in some tiny county far away from home, youll discove

13、rsomething else.OBAMA: Youll hear the determination in the voice of a youngfield organizer whos working his way through college and wants tomake sure every child has that same opportunity.(APPLAUSE)Youll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer whos goingdoor to door because her brother was finall

14、y hired when the localauto plant added another shift.(APPLAUSE)Youll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a militaryspouse whose working the phones late at night to make sure that noone who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or aroof over their head when they come home.(APPLAUSE

15、)Thats why we do this. Thats what politics can be. Thats whyelections matter. Its not small, its big. Its important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy andcomplicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply heldbeliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we mak

16、e bigdecisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs upcontroversy.That wont change after tonight, and it shouldnt. Thesearguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forgetthat as we speak people in distant nations are risking their livesright now just for a chance to argue

17、 about the issues that matter,the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.(APPLAUSE)But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopesfor Americas future. We want our kids to grow up in a countrywhere they have access to the best schools and the bestteachers.(APPLAUSE)A country t

18、hat lives up to its legacy as the global leader intechnology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs andnew businesses that follow.OBAMA: We want our children to live in an America that isntburdened by debt, that isnt weakened by inequality, that isntthreatened by the destructive power

19、of a warming planet.(APPLAUSE)We want to pass on a country thats safe and respected andadmired around the world, a nation that is defended by thestrongest military on earth and the best troops this - this worldhas ever known.(APPLAUSE)But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this timeof

20、war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedomand dignity for every human being. We believe in a generousAmerica, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open tothe dreams of an immigrants daughter who studies in our schoolsand pledges to our flag.(APPLAUSE)To the young boy

21、 on the south side of Chicago who sees a lifebeyond the nearest street corner.(APPLAUSE)To the furniture workers child in North Carolina who wants tobecome a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, adiplomat or even a president - thats the future we hope for.Thats the vision we share.

22、 Thats where we need to go -forward.(APPLAUSE)Thats where we need to go.Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to getthere. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come infits and starts. Its not always a straight line. Its not always asmooth path.By itself, the recognitio

23、n that we have common hopes and dreamswont end all the gridlock or solve all our problems or substitutefor the painstaking work of building consensus and making thedifficult compromises needed to move this country forward. But thatcommon bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. Adecad

24、e of war is ending. A long campaign is now over.(APPLAUSE)And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, Ihave learned from you, and youve made me a better president. Andwith your stories and your struggles, I return to the White Housemore determined and more inspired than ever about

25、 the work there isto do and the future that lies ahead.(APPLAUSE)Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.(APPLAUSE)You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in thecoming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out andworking with leaders of both parties to meet the c

26、hallenges we canonly solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code.Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.Weve got more work to do.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: But that doesnt mean your work is done. The role ofcitizens in our Democracy does not end with your vote. Amer

27、icasnever been about what can be done for us. Its about what can bedone by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessarywork of self-government. Thats the principle we were foundedon.(APPLAUSE)This country has more wealth than any nation, but thats notwhat makes us rich. We have the mo

28、st powerful military in history,but thats not what makes us strong. Our university, our cultureare all the envy of the world, but thats not what keeps the worldcoming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold togetherthe most diverse nation on earth.OBAMA: The belief that

29、our destiny is shared; that this countryonly works when we accept certain obligations to one another and tofuture generations. The freedom which so many Americans have foughtfor and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights. Andamong those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. Th

30、atswhat makes America great.(APPLAUSE)I am hopeful tonight because Ive seen the spirit at work inAmerica. Ive seen it in the family business whose owners wouldrather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in theworkers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friendlose a job.Iv

31、e seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limband in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness anddanger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watchingtheir back.(APPLAUSE)Ive seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, whereleaders from every party and level of

32、 government have swept asidetheir differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage ofa terrible storm.(APPLAUSE)And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a fathertold the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle withleukemia nearly cost their family everything had it n

33、ot been forhealth care reform passing just a few months before the insurancecompany was about to stop paying for her care.(APPLAUSE)I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father, but meetthis incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowdlistening to that fathers story, every paren

34、t in that room hadtears in their eyes, because we knew that little girl could be ourown.And I know that every American wants her future to be just asbright. Thats who we are. Thats the country Im so proud to leadas your president.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And tonight, despite all the hardship weve been throu

35、gh,despite all the frustrations of Washington, Ive never been morehopeful about our future.(APPLAUSE)I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you tosustain that hope. Im not talking about blind optimism, the kindof hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or theroadblock

36、s that stand in our path. Im not talking about thewishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines orshirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing insideus that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, thatsomething better awaits us so long as we ha

37、ve the courage to keepreaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.(APPLAUSE)America, I believe we can build on the progress weve made andcontinue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new securityfor the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of ourfounders, the idea that if youre w

38、illing to work hard, it doesntmatter who you are or where you come from or what you look like orwhere you love. It doesnt matter whether youre black or white orHispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich orpoor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here inAmerica if your

39、e willing to try.(APPLAUSE)I believe we can seize this future together because we are notas divided as our politics suggests. Were not as cynical as thepundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individualambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states andblue states. We are a

40、nd forever will be the United States ofAmerica.(APPLAUSE)And together with your help and Gods grace we will continue ourjourney forward and remind the world just why it is that we live inthe greatest nation on Earth.Thank you, America. God bless you. God bless these UnitedStates.(APPLAUSE)謝謝，謝謝，非常感謝

41、。兩百多年前，人民在這塊曾經的殖民地上贏得了自己的命運；今夜，我們向實現完美聯邦的目標又邁近了一步。這一步，是因為你們；這一步，是因為你們證明了克服戰爭和蕭條的那種精神仍在，那份把我們國家從絕望的深淵帶向希望之巔的精神。我們每個人都可以追逐自己的夢想。 美國同胞血濃于水，作為一個國家和民族，我們共起落、同榮辱。今晚，在這次選舉中，你們，美國人民們，提醒了我們：盡管路程艱辛，歷程漫長，我們仍能振作精神，奮起反擊。我們心中堅信，美利堅的每天更加美好。我想感謝每一位親身參與大選的美國人。無論這是你的第一次投票，又或是在隊伍中等待了很久。順便說一句，排隊這個問題真是亟待解決。無論你是步行前往，還是拿起

42、電話；無論你舉的牌子上，寫的是奧巴馬還是羅姆尼 你的聲音都會被聽到，你也一樣帶來了改變。我剛剛和羅姆尼州長通了話，向他和保羅瑞安，就這場艱難的戰役，表示了我的祝賀。雙方的選戰之所以慘烈，正是因為我們都如此深愛這個國家，如此關心它的未來。從喬治到蘭諾夫婦，再到他們的兒子米特，羅姆尼一家選擇通過獻身公務來報效國家。今晚，我們向這一份寶貴的政治遺產致以我們的敬意和掌聲。在未來的幾個星期，我還希望能和羅姆尼州長坐下來，討論在哪些方面，我們可以共同努力，推動這個國家向前。我想謝謝我的朋友，我過去四年的搭檔，美國的快樂戰士喬拜登。能有他做副總統。夫復何求。另外，假如沒有那位20年前同意嫁給我的女人，我今天

43、也不可能站在這里。讓我告訴所有人吧：米歇爾，我對你的愛，是如此深切。我目睹著我之外的美國人都愛上了你，作為第一夫人的你，我對你的驕傲，也是如此深切。薩莎和瑪利亞(奧巴馬的兩個女兒)，就在我們的注視下，你們已經成長為兩位堅強、智慧、美麗的年輕女士，就像你們的媽媽一樣。我真得為你們驕傲。不過我還是要說，一條狗應該已經夠了。至政治史上最好的競選團隊和志愿者們：你們是最好的，最最好的。你們中有些人是新鮮加入，有些人從一開始就與我們共同進退，但你們都是我的家人。無論你在做什么，以后要做什么，你們都能帶上這段我們共同創造的歷史，以及這位感恩的總統對你們一生的感激。謝謝你們的一路堅信，陪我翻過每座丘嶺，穿越

44、每座山谷。一路走來，多虧你們的輔佑。我會永遠為你們所付出的一切和所有卓越之至的工作而心懷感激。我知道有時候政治競選看起來渺小，甚至愚蠢，這為憤世嫉俗者們提供了很多素材。他們告訴我們，政治不過是為特殊利益集團服務的猴戲。但如果你曾經同參加過我們的集會的普通人，或是在高中體育館圍線外排隊的人們交談過；或是看到在遠離家鄉的小郡縣競選辦公室里工作到很晚的人們，你一定會有新的認識。你會在一位半工半讀的年輕活動現場組織者聲音中，聽到無比的堅定。他想讓每個孩子都能有均等的機會；你會在一名志愿者聲音中，聽到他的自豪。她挨家挨戶的告訴每一個人，她的哥哥終于有了工作，因為當地的汽車公司增加了一個輪班；你會在一位軍

45、嫂聲音中聽到她的愛國主義情懷。她深夜也不放下電話是為了要讓每一位保家衛國的戰士，都不用在回家后，卻為一份工作、一片屋檐，苦苦求而不得。這就是我們做這些的原因。政治也可以說這樣的。這就是為什么，選舉是重要的。它并不渺小，它是件大事，很重要的大事。在有三億人口的國家中，民主會顯得喧嘩、混亂、復雜。我們有自己的觀點，每個人都有自己堅定的信仰。當面對困難的時期，當我們的國家需要作出重大的決定時，它必然會激發熱情，也掀起爭議。這些在今晚之后都不會改變，也不應該被改變。這些爭論是我們自由的印記。我們永遠不能忘記，就在此時此刻，在一些遙遠的國家，人民正在冒著生命的危險，只為了能有討論那些重要話題的機會，為了

46、能有像我們今天這樣投出自己一票的機會。盡管我們有不同，我們中的大多數，對美國的未來懷有一樣的希望。我們希望自己的孩子成長在這樣一個國家：他們能去到最好的學校，有最好的老師；它不會辜負前人留下的遺產，繼續成為全球科技、探索、創新的領導者，有好的工作、新的產業隨之而來；我們希望自己孩子成長的美國，不會被債務負累，不會因不平等而有所削弱，也不會被地球變暖而帶來的危害所威脅。我們想要傳承的，是一個安全并受全球尊敬與愛戴的國家。我們想要傳承的，是一個由世界最強軍事力量保衛，擁有最好的軍隊的國家。同時，也是一個自信前行的國家走出戰爭的陰霾，塑造和平景象，保障每個人的自由與尊嚴。我們相信美國是一個慷慨大度的

47、國家，一個悲天憫人的國家，更是一個海納百川的國家。我們要接納在我國學校學習并對我們的國旗宣誓，滿懷夢想的移民；要接納身處芝加哥南部市井之中卻能志存高遠的男孩；還要接納北卡州家具工人的孩子，他們夢想著成為醫生、科學家、工程師、企業家、外交官，甚至是總統。那正是我們所期望的未來，是我們共有的愿景，是我們需要前進的方向，那是我們的目標。對于如何實現這一目標，我們可能會意見相左，有時分歧甚大，兩個多世紀以來，一直如此。我們總會斷斷續續地取得進步，前行的路線總有曲折，不會一直是平坦通途。認識到我們擁有共同的希望與夢想，單靠這一點無法終結所有的政治僵局，或解決我們所有問題。建立共識，作出推動這個國家向前所必要的艱難妥協，這些艱辛的工作也無法得以替代。但我們必須以這一共同紐帶為起點。我們
