1、Its the answer that led those whove 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.很多人，在长久以往的耳濡目染中愤世嫉俗、担忧、怀疑。但今天他们做出了回答。他们的双手扭转了历史，让历史转向充满希望的新的一天。Its been

2、 a long time ing, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has e to America.我们等待了很久。但今夜，因为我们今天的努力、因为这次选举，在这决定性的时刻，美国终于迎来了转变。A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.Sen. McCain fought long

3、and hard in this campaign. And hes 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.I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin fo

4、r all that theyve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nations promise in the months ahead.我刚刚收到麦凯恩参议员打来的电话，他非常诚挚。在这次漫长的竞选中，他付出了艰苦的努力。而为这个他所爱的国家，他付出得、时间也更长。他忍受过的牺牲，是我们很多美国人无法想象的。这位勇敢而无私的领袖的付出会让我们的国家更强大。对麦凯恩参议员和佩林州长所取得的成绩，我这里也表示钦佩。我期待在接下来的几个月中，与他们一道重拾美国的承诺。I want to thank m

5、y partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.我要感谢我的竞选伙伴。他发自内心地投入竞选，他的声音代表了那些在他成长的斯克兰顿街生活的人们的声音，代表那些和他一道乘

8、hers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that youve given me. I am grateful to them.如果不是我过去十六年间最亲密的朋友、我的家庭的基石和我一生的至爱给予的支持，今晚我不会站在这里。那就是我们国家的下任夫人，米歇尔奥巴马。还有我的女儿，萨沙和玛丽亚。我是如此爱你们。我们会带着你们刚赢得的小狗一起搬进白宫。而我的外祖母，虽然此刻他已经离我们而去，但我知道她在看着呢和带给我生命、定义了我人生的家人们一道。今夜，我想念他们。我知道我欠他们的难以偿还。奥巴马发言的演讲稿【二】MR. OBAM

9、A: Thank you. Thank you so much. Vice President Biden, Mr. ChiefJustice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellowcitizens:谢谢，非常感谢大家。拜登副总统、首席大法官先生、国会议员们、尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的公民们。Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to theenduring strength of our Constitu

10、tion. We affirm the promise of our democracy.We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin orthe tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional what makes us American is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in adeclaration made more than t

11、wo centuries ago:每一次我们集会庆祝总统就职都是在见证美国宪法的持久力量。我们都是在肯定美国民主的承诺。我们重申，将这个国家紧密联系在一起的不是我们的肤色，也不是我们信仰的教条，更不是我们名字的。让我们与众不同，让我们成为美国人的是我们对于一种理念的恪守。200多年前，这一理念在一篇宣言中被清晰阐述：“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable righ

12、ts, thatamong these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”“我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的，人人生而平等。造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，包括生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。”Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of thosewords with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while thesetruths may be self-evident,

13、 they have never been self-executing; that whilefreedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. Thepatriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with theprivileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, agovernment of, and by, and for

14、 the people, entrusting each generation to keepsafe our founding creed.今天，我们继续着这一未竟的征程，架起这些理念与我们时代现实之间的桥梁。因为历史告诉我们，即便这些真理是不言而喻的，它们也从来不会自动生效。因为虽然自由是上帝赋予的礼物，但仍需要世间的子民去捍卫。1776年，美国的爱国先驱们不是只为了推翻国王的暴政而战，也不是为赢得少数人的特权，建立暴民的统治。先驱们留给我们一个共和国，一个民有、民治、民享的政府。他们委托每一代美国人捍卫我们的建国信条。For more than two hundred years, we

15、 have.在过去的200多年里，我们做到了。Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that nounion founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slaveand half-free. We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.从奴役的血腥枷锁和刀剑的血光厮杀中我们懂得了，建立在自由与平等原则之上的联邦不能永远维持半奴隶和半自由

16、的状态。我们赢得了新生，誓言共同前进。Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads andhighways to speed travel and merce; schools and colleges to train ourworkers。我们共同努力，建立起现代的经济体系。架设铁路与高速公路，加速了旅行和商业交流。建立学校与大学，培训我们的工人。Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there arerules to en

17、sure petition and fair play.我们一起发现，自由市场的繁荣只能建立在保障竞争与公平竞争的原则之上。Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, andprotect its people from lifes worst hazards and misfortune.我们共同决定让这个伟大的国家远离危险，保护她的人民不受生命威胁和不幸的侵扰。Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of centr

18、alauthority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all societys ills can becured through government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise;our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants inour character.一路走来，我们从未放弃对集权的质疑。我们同样不屈服于这一谎言：一切的社会弊端都能够只靠政府来解决。我们

19、对积极向上与奋发进取的赞扬，我们对努力工作与个人责任的坚持，这些都是美国精神的基本要义。But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; thatfidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges;that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.For the American people can no

20、more meet the demands of todays world by actingalone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or munismwith muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and scienceteachers well need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads andnetworks and research

21、 labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to ourshores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation,and one people.我们也理解，时代在变化，我们同样需要变革。对建国精神的忠诚，需要我们肩负起新的责任，迎接新的挑战。保护我们的个人自由，最终需要所有人的共同努力。因为美国人不能再独力迎接当今世界的挑战，正如美国士兵们不能再像先辈一样，用步枪和民兵同敌人（法西斯主义与共产主义）作战。一个人无法培训所有的数学与科学老师，我们需要他们

22、为了未来去教育孩子们。一个人无法建设道路、铺设网络、建立实验室来为国内带来新的工作岗位和商业机会。现在，与以往任何时候相比，我们都更需要团结合作。作为一个国家，一个民族团结起来。This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled ourresolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economicrecovery has begun. Americas possibilities are limitless, for w

23、e possess allthe qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive;diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention.My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it so longas we seize it together.这一代美国人经历了危机的考验，经济危机坚定了我们的决心，证明了

24、我们的恢复力。长达十年的战争正在结束，经济的复苏已经开始。美国的可能性是无限的，因为我们拥有当今没有边界的世界所需要的所有品质：年轻与活力、多样性与开放、无穷的冒险精神以及创造的天赋才能。我亲爱的同胞们，我们正是为此刻而生，我们更要在此刻团结一致，抓住当下的机会。For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when ashrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe thatAmericas prosperity mu

25、st rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middleclass. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence andpride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from thebrink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into thebleakest poverty

26、 knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else,because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyesof God but also in our own.因为我们，美国人民，清楚如果只有不断萎缩的少数人群体获得成功，而大多数人不能成功，我们的国家就无法成功。我们相信，美国的繁荣必须建立在不断上升的中产阶级的宽阔臂膀之上，我们知道美国的繁荣只有这样才能实现。只有当每个人都能找到工作中的自立与自豪时才能实现。只有当诚

27、实劳动获得的薪水足够让家庭摆脱困苦的悬崖时才能实现。我们忠诚于我们的事业，保证让一个出生于最贫穷环境中的小女孩都能知道，她有同其他所有人一样的成功机会。因为她是一个美国人，她是自由的、平等的。她的自由平等不仅由上帝来见证，更由我们亲手保护。We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of ourtime. We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revampour tax code, reform our school

28、s, and empower our citizens with the skills theyneed to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. But while the means willchange, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determinationof every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what willgive real meaning to our creed.我们知道，我们已然陈旧的程序不足以满足时代的需要。我们必须应用新理念和新技术重塑我们的政府，改进我们的税法，改革我们的学校，让我们的公民拥有他们所需要的技能，更加努力地工作，学的知识，向更高处发展。这意味着变革，
