美國總統奧巴馬的演講全文!中英文翻譯。
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果還有人仍在懷疑美國是否是壹個壹切皆有可能的國度的話,如果還有人仍在疑慮我們美國的締造者的夢想是否還存在於我們這個時代的話,如果還有人仍在質疑我們民主的力量的話,今晚妳就可以得到答案。
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.它的答案告訴延伸線,圍繞學校和教堂的人數這個民族從未見過的,等待三個小時,四個小時的人們,許多第壹次在他們的生活,因為他們認為,這次壹定是不同的,他們的聲音可能是不同的。
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.不管妳是年輕人還是老年人,是富人還是窮人,是民主黨人還是***和黨人,是黑人還是白人,也不管妳是拉丁美洲人或亞洲人還是本土美國人,更無論妳是否為同性變者、是否是殘疾人,這是美國人***同的答案。美國人向全世界傳遞壹個聲音,那就是我們的選舉從不分紅州或藍州。
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我們屬於,而且永遠只屬於美利堅合眾國。
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.它的答案,導致這些誰壹直在說這麽長時間這麽多的是玩世不恭和恐懼和懷疑是我們能夠實現把他們手中的弧的歷史和彎曲再次向希望壹個更美好的壹天。
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.雖然等待了很長時間,但在今晚的這壹決定性時刻,由於我們在這次選舉中的努力,美國終於迎來了變革。
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.今天傍晚稍早的時候,我接到麥凱恩參議員壹個特別親切的電話。
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.在競選過程中,他堅持不懈,努力了很長時間,而且他還會為他所熱愛的國家繼續更加努力。他已經為美國奉獻了太多,以到於我們許多人都無法想象。我們必須要更好地服務於我們的祖國,以補償這位勇敢而無私的領導人。
I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.我祝賀他以及佩林此前取得的所有成績,而且我希望能夠與他們合作,重申數月前我們對國家所做的承諾
