奥巴马竞选时演讲稿(6篇范文)范文

第1篇 奥巴马胜选演讲稿全文

中新网11月7日电 据美国媒体报道,成功连任美国总统的奥巴马当地时间7日凌晨发表了胜选演讲,对支持者表示感谢。

当地时间7日凌晨,美国总统大选初步结果出炉,美国总统奥巴马获得超过270张选举人票,成功连任。最新的开票结果显示,奥巴马获得了303张选举人票,共和*总统候选人罗姆尼获得203张。目前仅剩佛州与阿拉斯加州未计票完毕。

北京时间接近7日下午2点的时候,罗姆尼在波士顿竞选总部发表了简短讲话,承认败选。他说给奥巴马打了电话,向奥巴马、其支持者与竞选阵营表示祝贺,尤其向奥巴马、第一夫人与他们的女儿表示祝贺。他说,祈祷奥巴马在今后4年中,成功带领美国前进。

以下为奥巴马演讲全文:

谢谢,非常感谢。今晚,是在一个殖民地赢得它自主权200多年之后,我们来到这里,不断前行,这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望,实现移民想的梦想,我们是一个大家庭,我们共同以一个国家,一个民族奋斗。

我要感谢每位参加这次选举的人,不管你是从第一天就投票了,还是一直等待了很长的时间才投的票。当然了,我们要解决这个排队投票的问题。不管你是自己上门投的票,还是打电话投的票,不管你是投了给我,还是投给罗姆尼,你的声音都被大家听到了,并且你对我?*易龀隽四承└谋洌崭瘴腋弈纺嵬说缁埃易:厮谡飧黾枘炎烤恼揭鄣敝兴〉玫氖だ?/p>

我们这场战役是十分激烈,但是这正是因为我们深爱着这个国家,并且我们十分在意他的未来。从罗姆尼整个家庭,孙子辈,孩子辈,整个家庭都献给了美国,这种精神我们将永远铭记。未来这几周我也希望和罗姆尼一起来讨论怎么样使我们的国家不断前进。我要感谢我的朋友,我的搭档,这是我四年来最好的搭档,也是美国历史上最好的副总统john baidn(音,校对)如果没有他,今天我就不会站在这里,如果没有20年前跟我结婚的妻子,今天我就不会站在这里。我要跟大家说,妻子,我比以前更加爱你,我更加自豪,因为我看到全国人民也十分热爱你这位第一夫人,我感到十分自豪。

对我的女儿,两位女儿,你们一天天在成长,你们成为了两位向你们的妈妈一样的淑女、美丽,有才华,我也为你们感到骄傲,但是目前我觉得给你们养一条宠物狗就够了。我还要感谢我的竞选团队和志愿者,他们是历史上最棒的。他们是最好的,最棒的,而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次来听我的演说,范文写作有些人四年前就听了我的获胜演说,但是每个人对我来讲都是我的一分子,不管你做了什么,不管你去了哪里,你一定会记得我们今天晚上所创的历史,你会一生都感激今天晚上的时刻,而且你们会一直记得有一个心怀感激的总统,我要感谢你们所做的每一件事情,正是因为有了你们,我才会一路坚持下来。我对此将永远感谢,不管你做的什么,你们所做的一切我都心怀感激,并且永远鸣谢。

我知道这些政治的竞选,可能有的时候看起来很愚蠢,而且我们也听到很多人跟我们讲政治有的时候十分愚蠢,可能他只是利益的追求和冲突,但是如果你们真的有机会去机会和竞选活动上和人们谈论一些问题,或者你看到一些竞选团队,非常辛勤工作的志愿者们,你们的印象会有所改观,因为你们能听到这些年轻的组织者他们的决心,你能够看到他们在面临这个机会的时候,是有多大的决心。你还会听到群众,还有志愿者,他们上门挨家挨户的进行竞选。你也会听到我们深深的爱国情绪在针对的成员的爱国情绪,因为我们相信那些曾经为我们国家抛头颅撒洒血的军队,他们不应该在工作上遇到任何问题,这就是为什么我们要进行大选。

这并不是一件小事实,这是至关重要的事。举足轻重的事,我们国家的民主,我们3亿人民的民主的情绪可能十分复杂,可能十分混乱,每个人可能都有自己的观点,每个人都有自己深深的信仰,但是在我们经过艰难时刻的时候,当我们做出艰难的抉择时,我们很自然会有冲突,会有情感的表达。但是我认为它不应当影响我们今晚的表现,我们有的争论是民主的象征,酷猫写作范文网而且我们不应当忘记在世界上很多别的国家,他们都正在为自由言论,自由讨论民主这样的权利所奋斗,所努力。

尽管我们有许多不同,我们中的大部分对美国的未来都有共同的希望,我们希望我们的孩子能够上最好的学校,接受最好的教育,我们希望整个国家能够延续我们的遗产,促进科技的发展,就业的发展和商业的发展。我们希望孩子们不是负债累累,而是面对高质量的国家,他们不会受到恐怖力量的威胁。我们希望传递安全有尊严的国家,并且受别人尊重的国家,这个国家是由最强的军事力量所定义,并且最安全定义的过程。与此同时我们也希望自己的国家,有信心,并且能够不断推动每个人的自由、繁荣和发展,我们相信美国的慷慨,美国的宽容、包容,美国的自由和开放,我们将伸开双手迎接移民的美国人民,我们会欢迎他们的子孙后代来到美国。我们相信在芝加哥任何一个孩子都可以看到他的希望,在北卡州那些想要成为科学家和医生的学生,想要成为工程师,甚至是总统的学生,这是我们共同要争取的未来,这是我们共同分享的愿景,这也是我们前进的方向。

我们有的时候会对于怎么样向前进有非常强烈的分歧,200年来,大家知道我们的进步一直不是直线的,也不是一帆风顺,我们伴随着很多分歧和不同,我们随着有很好的希望和梦想,但是很多时候我们要付出艰苦卓绝的努力才可以达到目标,我们也需要进行妥协才可以使国家前进。范文top100但是我们的共识是我们的起点,现在经济正处于复苏期间,我们的十年的战争也已经结束了,我们的竞选也已经将告尾声,不管我没有当选,我听到了你们的声音,你们使我成为最好的。

今晚,你投给的不是政治,而是我们的行动。但是因为大家,我们才能关注你们的工作,而不是我们的工作,而在未来的几个月当中,我会期待和我们两*的领导人一起来共同寻求那些我们只有共同努力才能解决的矛盾的问题,比如说我们的?*ǎ颐堑囊泼瘢颐堑墓ぷ鳎褂形颐嵌越谑偷囊览嫡庑┪侍猓叶蓟嵫扒蟾髦纸饩鲋馈5钦獠灰馕蹲拍忝堑墓ぷ骶徒崾耍颐撬械墓瘢械耐牵忝遣皇撬低读似本颓崴闪四忝堑娜挝窬兔挥辛耍忝且欢ㄒ饰首约海皇敲拦芪忝亲鍪裁矗俏夷芪拦鍪裁矗颐且凶晕抑卫恚晕以际馐俏颐堑脑颍彩俏颐墙ü睦砟睢?/p>

我们这个国家是世界上最富有的国家,但是这并不是让我们每个人更富有,虽然我们的军队十分强大,但是我们的个人并不强大,思想汇报专题我们的大学、我们的文化,虽然是全球最优秀的,但是却并不是说我们就是全球最优秀的。是因为我们是一个多民族的国家,多样性的国家,但是在这样多样性的国家当中我们有共同的愿景和共识,并且我们的子孙后代会给他们更多的公民和自由,我们的子女后代必将获得更多的尊严,更多的爱护和尊敬。而且相信子孙后代只有他们正直,他们爱国,辛勤劳动才会使我们的美国变得更为强大。

我今天晚上充满了希望,因为我看到我们这些美国劳动人民的精神,还看到了那些商业人士你们所做的工作,提供了很多工作机会,而且我还看到那些失业的人民得到了帮助,我看到战士们,他们再次征兵,而且我还看到战士们他们仍然守卫着我们的国家,因为他们也知道我们在支持着他们。我还看到新泽西纽约每个政*的领导人,都开始抛开他们的旗舰,来探讨怎么从桑迪中重建我们的家园。我们还看到俄亥俄州一个父亲说他有一个八岁的女儿,她的肺病使他的家庭一贫如洗,他们之前并没有得到医疗保障的保护,但是几个月之前他开始得到了医疗保险,这对他们来讲是非常好的消息。

我和这位父亲,还有他的女儿都见面了,他对于群众说,他对大家说,当他说的时候,在场所有的父母都落泪了,因为我们知道,他的女儿也可能是我们的女儿,我们都希望自己的孩子未来充满光芒,这是每个父母的希望,这是我身为总统引以为豪的。今晚尽管我们经历了这么多的困难,尽管我们经历了这么多的挫折,我对于未来却格外充满希望,我对于未来格外充满希望,对于美国格外充满希望,我希望大家延续这种希望,我这里讲的并不是盲目的乐观,指的是我们对未来的挑战,忽视未来的挑战,我也不是说的天真或者理想化的乐观的情绪,我真正的希望,不管我们遇到多少的挫折,多少的困难,只有我们内心坚定的希望,才是我们保持不断努力、不断斗争,不断勇往直前的力量来源。

我相信我们我们能在取得成就的基础上取得新的机会,为美国的中产阶级提供新的希望,我相信我们能够继续延续我们的建国者的承诺,不管你来自哪里,不管你的肤色是什么,不管你是黑人、白人,亚裔人,任何种族,不管你是******还是非******,不管你是贫困的还是富裕的,你可以在美国做你想做的一切,我们可以共同迎来这样的未来,因为我们对未来是充满了希望,我们有雄心壮志,我们赢得的不仅仅是这一个选举,而且是一个未来,是美国的未来,我们会一起赢得这场战役。而且上帝会引导我们走向这条道路,并且我们相信,我们会成为世界上最伟大的国家,谢谢你们,上帝保佑美国!

第2篇 奥巴马竞选总统演讲稿

第奥巴马竞选总统演讲稿

hello, chicago!

芝加哥,你好!

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.

如果有人怀疑美国是个一切皆有可能的地方,怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们这个时代依然燃烧,怀疑我们民主的力量,那么今晚这些疑问都有了答案。

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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

学校和教堂门外的长龙便是答案。排队的人数之多,在美国历史上前所未有。为了投票,他们排队长达三、四个小时。许多人一生中第一次投票,因为他们认为这一次大选结果必须不同以往,而他们手中的一票可能决定胜负。

it's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, latino, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states; we are, and always will be, the united states of america.

无论年龄,无论贫富,无论民主*人或共和*人,无论黑人、白人,无论拉美裔、亚裔、印地安人, 无论同性恋、异性恋,无论残障人、健全人,所有的人,他们向全世界喊出了同一个声音:我们并不隶属 “红州”与 “蓝州”的对立阵营,我们属于美利坚合众国,现在如此,永远如此!

it's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of 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.

长久以来,很多人说:我们对自己的能量应该冷漠,应该恐惧,应该怀疑。但是,历史之轮如今已在我们手中,我们又一次将历史之轮转往更美好的未来。

it's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to america.

漫漫征程,今宵终于来临。特殊的一天,特殊的一次大选,特殊的决定性时刻,美国迎来了变革。

i just received a very gracious call from sen. mccain. he fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.

he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. i congratulate him and gov. palin for all they have achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

刚才,麦凯恩参议员很有风度地给我打了个电话。在这次竞选中,他的努力持久而艰巨。为了这个他挚爱的国家,他的努力更持久、更艰巨。他为美国的奉献超出绝大多数人的想象。他是一位勇敢无私的领袖,有了他的奉献,我们的生活才更美好。我对他和佩林州长的成绩表示祝贺。同时,我也期待着与他们共同努力,再续美国辉煌。

i want to thank my 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 that train home to delaware, the vice-president-elect of the united states, joe biden.

我要感谢我的竞选搭档——当选副总统乔·拜登。为了与他一起在斯克兰顿市街头长大、一起坐火车返回特拉华州的人们,拜登全心全意地竟选,他代表了这些普通人的声音。

i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life,our nation's next first lady, michelle obama. sasha andmalia, i love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the white house. and while she's no longer with us, i know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

我要感谢下一位第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马。她是我家的中流砥柱,是我生命中的最爱。没有她在过去16年来的坚定支持,今晚我就不可能站在这里。我要感谢两个女儿萨沙和玛丽娅,我太爱你们两个了,你们将得到一条新的小狗,它将与我们一起入住白宫。我还要感谢已去世的外婆,我知道此刻她正在天上注视着我。她与我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他们,他们对我的恩情比山高、比海深。

to my campaign manager, david plouffe; my chief strategist, david axelrod; and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

我要感谢我的竞选经理大卫·普鲁夫,感谢首席策划师大卫·阿克塞罗德以及整个竞选团队,他们是政治史上最优秀的竞选团队。你们成就了今夜,我永远感谢你们为今夜所付出的一切。

but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.

但最重要的是,我将永远不会忘记这场胜利真正属于谁---是你们!

i was never the likeliest candidate for this office. we didn't start with much money or many endorsements. our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington —it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of charleston.

我从来不是最有希望的候选人。起初,我们的资金不多,赞助人也不多。我们的竞选并非始于华盛顿的华丽大厅,而是起于德莫奈地区某家的后院、康科德地区的某家客厅、查尔斯顿地区的某家前廊。

it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause. it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. this is your victory.

劳动大众从自己的微薄积蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿来捐助我们的事业。年轻人证明了他们绝非所谓“冷漠的一代”。他们远离家乡和亲人,拿着微薄的报酬,起早摸黑地助选。上了年纪的人也顶着严寒酷暑,敲开陌生人的家门助选。无数美国人自愿组织起来,充当自愿者。正是这些人壮大了我们的声势。他们的行动证明了在两百多年以后,民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。这是你们的胜利。

i know you didn't do this just to win an election, and i know you didn't do it for me. you did it because youunderstand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. foreven as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave americans waking up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us. there are mothers and fathers. who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. there is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances torepair.

你们这样做,并不只是为了赢得一场大选,更不是为了我个人。你们这样做,是因为你们清楚未来的任务有多么艰巨。今晚我们在欢庆,明天我们就将面对一生之中最为严峻的挑战--两场战争、一个充满危险的星球,还有百年一遇的金融危机。今晚我们在这里庆祝,但我们知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,许许多多勇敢的美国人醒来后就将为了我们而面临生命危险。许许多多的父母会在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠,他们正在为月供、医药费,孩子今后的大学费用而发愁。我们需要开发新能源,创造就业机会,建造新学校,迎接挑战和威胁,并修复与盟国的关系。

the road ahead will be long. our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year, or even one term, but america — i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there. i promise you: we as a people will get there.

前方道路还很漫长,任务艰巨。一年之内,甚至一届总统任期之内,我们可能都无法完成这些任务。但我从未像今晚这样对美国满怀希望,我相信我们会实现这个目标。我向你们承诺--我们美利坚民族将实现这一目标!

there will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who won't agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you, especially when we disagree. and, above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in america for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.

我们会遇到挫折,会出师不利,会有许多人不认同我的某一项决定或政策。政府并不能解决所有问题,但我会向你们坦陈我们所面临的挑战。我会聆听你们的意见,尤其是在我们意见相左之时。最重要的是,我会让你们一起重建这个国家。用自己的双手,从一砖一瓦做起。这是美国立国221年以来的前进方式,也是惟一的方式。

what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. this victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change. and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. it cannot happen without you.

21个月前那个隆冬所开始的一切,绝不应在这一个秋夜结束。我们所寻求的变革并不只是赢得大选,这只是给变革提供了一个机会。假如我们照老路子办事,就没有变革;没有你们,就没有变革。

so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers. in this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.

让我们重新发扬爱国精神,树立崭新的服务意识、责任感,每个人下定决心,一起努力工作,彼此关爱;让我们牢记这场金融危机带来的教训:不能允许商业街挣扎的同时却让华尔街繁荣。在这个国家,我们作为同一个民族,同生死共存亡。

let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity. those are values we all share, and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

*派之争、琐碎幼稚,长期以来这些东西荼毒了我们的政坛。让我们牢记,当来自伊利诺伊州的一位先生首次将共和*大旗扛进白宫时,伴随着他的是自强自立、个人自由、国家统一的共和***理念。这也是我们所有人都珍视的理念。虽然民主*今晚大胜,但我们态度谦卑,并决心弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧。

as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "we are not enemies, but friends... though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection." and, to those americans whose support i have yet to earn, i may not have won your vote, but i hear your voices, i need your help, and i will be your president, too.

当年,林肯面对的是一个远比目前更为分裂的国家。他说:“我们不是敌人,而是朋友……虽然激情可能不再,但是我们的感情纽带不会割断。”对于那些现在并不支持我的美国人,我想说,虽然我没有赢得你们的选票,但我听到了你们的声音,我需要你们的帮助,我也将是你们的总统。

and to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of american leadership is at hand. to those who would tear this world down: we will defeat you. to those who seek peace and security: we support you. and to all those who have wondered if america's beacon still burns as bright: tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

对于关注今夜结果的国际人士,不管他们是在国会、皇宫关注,还是在荒僻地带收听电台,我们的态度是:我们美国人的经历各有不同,但我们的命运相关,新的美国领袖诞生了。对于想毁灭这个世界的人们,我们必将击败你们。对于追求和平和安全的人们,我们将支持你们。对于怀疑美国这盏灯塔是否依然明亮的人们,今天晚上我们已再次证明:美国的真正力量来源并非军事威力或财富规模,而是我们理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、机会和不屈的希望。

for that is the true genius of america — that america can change. our union can be perfected. and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

美国能够变革,这才是美国真正的精髓。我们的联邦会不断完善。我们已经取得的成就,将为我们将来能够并且必须取得的成就增添希望。

this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. but one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta. she's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: ann nixon cooper is 106 years old.

这次大选创造了多项“第一”,诞生了很多将流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最为难忘的却是一位在亚特兰大投票的妇女:安妮·库波尔。她和无数排队等候投票的选民没有什么差别,唯一的不同是她高龄106岁。

she was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;

when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons —

because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

在她出生的那个时代,黑奴制刚刚废除。那时路上没有汽车,天上没有飞机。

当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票--一第

一因为她是女性,第二个原因是她的肤色。

and tonight, i think about all that she's seen throughout her century in america — the heartache and

the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we

were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes, we can.

今天晚上,我想到了安妮在美国过去一百年间的种种经历:心痛和希望,挣扎和进步,

那些我们被告知我们办不到的年代,以及

我们现在这个年代。现在,我们坚信美国式信念──是的,我们能!

at a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and

speak out and reach for the ballot. yes, we can.

在那个年代,妇女的声音被压制,她们的希望被剥夺。但安妮活到了今天,看到妇女们站起来了,可以大声发表意见了,有选举权了。

是的,我们能。

when there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself

with a new deal, new jobs and a new sense of common

purpose. yes, we can.

安妮经历了上世纪三十年代的大萧条。农田荒芜,绝望笼罩美国大地。她看到了美国以新政、新的就业机会以及崭新的共同追求

战胜了恐慌。是的,我们能。

when the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to

greatness and a democracy was saved. yes, we can.

二战时期,炸弹袭击我们的海港,全世界受到独裁专制威胁,安妮见证了一代美国人的英雄本色,他们捍卫了民主。是的,我们能。

she was there for the buses in montgomery, the hoses in birmingham, a bridge in selma and a preacher from

atlanta who told a people that "we shall overcome." yes,

we can.

安妮经历了蒙哥马利公交车事件、伯明翰黑人暴动事件、塞尔马血醒周末事件。来自亚特兰大的一位牧师告诉人们:我们终将胜利。

是的,我们能。

a man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in america, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how america

can change. yes, we can.

人类登上了月球、柏林墙倒下了,科学和想像把世界连成了一块。今年,在这次选举中,安妮的手指轻触电子屏幕,投下自己的一票。她在美国生活了106年,其间有最美好的时光,也有最黑暗的时刻,她知道美国能够变革。

是的,我们能。

america, we have come so far. we have seen so much. but there is so much more to do. so tonight, let us ask ourselves: if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as ann nixon cooper, what change will they see?

what progress will we have made?

美利坚,我们已经一路走来,我们已经看到了那么多变化,但我们仍有很多事情要做。今夜,让我们问自己这样一个问题:假如我们的孩子能够活到下一个世纪,假如我的女儿们有幸与安妮一样长寿,她们将会看到怎样的改变?

我们又取得了怎样的进步?

this is our chance to answer that call. this is our moment. this is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism,and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: yes, we can.

现在,我们获得了回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻,我们的时代。让我们的人民重新就业,为我们的孩子打开机会的大门;恢复繁荣,促进和平;让美国梦重放光芒,再证这一根本性真理,那就是:团结一致,众志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲讽和怀疑,说我们不能,我们就以这一永恒信条回应,因为它凝聚了整个民族的精神——是的,我们能!

thank you, god bless you, and may god bless the united states of america.

谢谢大家!愿上帝保佑你们,保佑美利坚合众国。

第奥巴马竞选总统获胜演讲稿

“thank you. thank you. thank you so much.

谢谢,非常感谢各位。

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. it moves forward because of you. it moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the heightsof 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 one people.

今晚,是在一个曾经的殖民地在赢得自己主权200多年之后,我们来到这里,不断前行,这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望,实现移民的梦想。每一个人都可以独立的争取自己的未来,我们将会作为一个国家共同起落。

tonight in this election, you, the american people, remind us while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that the united states of america – the best is yet to come.

今晚,在选举的过程当中,你们——美国的人民,让我们记得我们的道路是非常艰辛的,我们的道路是漫长的,我们重新站了起来,我们也从内心知道,美国还没有迎来最好的时代。

[cheering] i want to thank every american who participated in this election [cheering] whether you voted for the very first time or waiting in line for a very long time. by the way, we need to fix that. whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone. whether you held an obama sign or a romney sign, you mad your voice heard. and you made a difference. i just got off the phone with governor romney and i congratulated him and paul ryan on a hard-fought campaign.

我想要感谢每一个参与选举的美国人。无论你们是第一次投票,还是(排队)等了很长的时间才投上一票——顺便说一下我会解决这个问题。无论你是自己上门投的票,还是打电话投的票;无论你是投给奥巴马的人,还是投给罗姆尼的人,你都是为我们国家带来转变的力量。我刚刚同罗姆尼通过电话,我祝贺他们这次竞选所取得的成绩。

[cheering] we may have fought fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply. and we care so stronly about its future.

我们的选战也许非常激烈,但这正是因为我们深爱着这个国家,并且我们十分在意它的未来。

from george to lenore to their son mitt, the romney family has chosen to give back to americans through public service. and that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. [cheering] in the weeks ahead, i also look forward to sitting down with governor romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. [cheering] i want to thank my friend and partner for the last four years, america’s happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for: joe biden.

从罗姆尼整个家庭,孙子辈,孩子辈,整个家庭都献给了美国,这种精神我们将永远铭记。几周之后我将会同罗姆尼坐在一起,讨论我们怎么样推动国家未来的发展。我也感谢在过去四年辛苦奉献的搭档,也是美国最好的副总统,拜登先生。

i want to thank my friend and partner of the last 4 years, america’s happy warrior, the best vice president anyone could ever hope for: joe biden. and i wouldn’t be the man i am today without the woman who agreed to marry me twenty years ago. let say this publicly, michelle i have never loved you more. i have never been prouder to watch the rest of america fall in love with you too as our nation’s first lady.

我(之所以)成为现在的我,必须要感谢20年前与我结婚的女人。我想公开地表达:米歇尔,我从来没有像现在这样爱你!我为你感到非常非常的骄傲,我相信我们的国家也非常爱你,你是我们非常热爱的美国第一夫人。

sasha and malia before our very eyes you are 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 dog is probably enough.

萨莎和玛莉亚,我挚爱的女儿,你们两个是非常坚强也非常聪明的女性,就像你们的母亲一样,我对你们感到非常的骄傲,但是目前我觉得给你们养一条宠物狗就够了。

to the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics. the best. the best ever. some of you were this time around. some of you were new this time around and some of you have been at my side since the very 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 life long appreciation of a grateful president. thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley. [applause] you lifted me up the whole way and i will always be grateful for everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in. [applause]

我还要感谢我的竞选团队和志愿者,他们是最好的,最棒的,而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次来听我的演说,有些人四年前就听了我的获胜演说,但是每个人对我来讲都是我的一分子,不管你做了什么,不管你去了哪里,你一定会记得我们今天晚上所创的历史,你会一生都感激今晚这个时刻,而且你们会一直记得有一个心怀感激的总统,谢谢你们一路以来对我的信任,我要感谢你们所做的每一件事情。正是因为有了你们,我才会一路坚持下来。我对此将永远感谢,不管你做的什么,你们所做的一切我都心怀感激,并且永远鸣谢。

i know that political campaigns can sometime seem small, even silly, and that provides plenty of fodder for the synics who 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 folks who turn out at rallies and crowded out along a ropline in a high school gym or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you’ll discover something else; you’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who is working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. [applause]

我知道这些政治竞选,可能有时候看起来非常愚蠢,而且我们也听到很多人跟我们讲政治有的时候十分愚蠢,可能他只是利益的追求和冲突,但是如果你们真的有机会去和竞选活动上和人们谈论一些问题,或者你看到一些竞选团队,非常辛勤工作的志愿者们,你们的印象会有所改观,因为你能够看到他们有多大的决心。他们也从大学毕业,并希望每一个孩子得到像他们一样的机会。

you’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who is going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. [applause] you’ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who is working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country every has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home. [applause] that’s why we do this. that’s what politics can be. that’s why elections matter. it’s not small, it’s big. it’s 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 necisarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.

大家会听到志愿者骄傲的声音,当他们看到当地的汽车生产商增加了就业的机会,他们会感到非常的骄傲。大家也会看到我们军人深深的爱国情意,他们守护着美国的安全,我们将保证他们回国之后不会再为找工作而烦恼。这就是我们现在所做的一切,这就是我们政治的目的,这也是为什么选举如此重要。这并不是小事情,而是大事情,是至关重要的事情。我们这个拥有3亿人口的国家,民主的情绪可能十分复杂,可能十分混乱,每个人可能都有自己的观点,每个人都有自己深深的信仰,在我们经历艰难时刻,做出艰难抉择时,我们很自然会有冲突,会有情感的表达,但是我认为它不应当影响我们今晚的表现。

that won’t change after tonight and it shouldn’t . these arguments we have are a mark of our liberty. we can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter [applause] the chance to cast their ballots like we did today. 这些争论正是我们自由的基础,我们永远不会忘记我们说话的时候,许多国家的人民仍然在冒着风险,希望能够找到解决问题的方法,希望能够争取投票的权利。

but despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for america’s future. we want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers. [applause] 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 that follow, to live in america that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality. that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. we want to pass on a country that is saved and respected and admired around the world. a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops 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 dignity of every human being. 尽管我们有很多的分歧,大多数人都对美国有共同的希望,我们都希望我们的孩子能够上最好的学校,有最好的老师;我们的国家成为技术以及创新方面的领袖,并且创造更多的就业岗位和更多的企业。我希望我们的孩子不是负债累累,不会受到恐怖力量的威胁。我们也希望我们的国家是安全的,在全球受到尊重和羡慕,并且拥有全世界最强大、最优秀的军队。同时我们的国家也应该是充满信心的国家,结束战争,重塑人类的和平。

we believe in a generous america, in a compassionate america, in a tolerant america, open to the dreams of an immigrants daughter that studies in our schools and pledges to our flag. to the young boy on the south side of chicago, who sees a light beyond the nearest street corner. to the furniture workers child in north carolina who wants to become a engineer or a scientist. and engineer or an entrepreneur. a diplomat or even a president, that’s the future we hope for. that’s the vision we share, that’s where we need to go. forward. that’s where we need to go.

与此同时我们也希望自己的国家,有信心,并且能够不断推动每个人的自由、繁荣和发展,我们相信美国的慷慨和包容,美国的自由和开放,我们将伸开双手迎接那些移民的子女来到美国。我们相信在芝加哥任何一个孩子都可以看到他的希望,在北卡州那些想要成为科学家和医生的学生,想要成为工程师,甚至是总统的学生,这是我们共同要争取的未来,这是我们共同分享的愿景,这也是我们前进的方向。

now we will disagree sometimes fiercely on how to get there, as it has for more then two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts, it’s not always a straight line or a smooth path. by itself a recognition of our common hopes and dreams won’t end the gridlock. or solve all our problems or substitute for the hard work of building consensus. and making the difficult compromises needed to move the country forward but that common bond is where we must begin. our economy is recovering, our decade of war is ending. a long campaign is now over. [applause] and whether i earned your vote or not, i have listened to you. i have learned from you and you have made me a better president. with your stories and your struggles, i returned to the white house more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead [applause]

我们有的时候会对于怎么样向前进有非常强烈的分歧,200年来,大家知道我们的进步一直不是直线的,也不是一帆风顺,我们伴随着很多分歧和不同。我们意识到我们有着共同的梦想,将会使我们结束僵局,努力的促成问题的解决。我们需要妥协,需要使我们国家的继续向前进,这样一种团结的力量是我们现在出发的基础。我们的经济正处于复苏期间,我们十年的战争也已经结束,我们的竞选也已经将告尾声,无论我是否赢得了你们的选票,我都倾听了你们的声音,我都从你们那里学到了很多东西,你们将会使我成为更好的总统。我将会记得你们的故事,你们的抗争,我将会更坚定的入主白宫,并且更坚定的完成未来的工作。

tonight, you voted for action, not politics as usual. you elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. and in the coming weeks and months, i am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together: reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil, we’ve got more work to do. 今晚,大家是为行动而不是为政治而投票,希望我们能够更关注你们的工作,而不是我的工作。在今后的几周,我将会与两*领袖会面应对我们的挑战,我们只能够共同应对挑战,减少我们的赤字,改善我们的移民体系,减少对外国石油的依赖,我们有很多工作要做。

but that doesn’t mean your work is done. the role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote. america’s never been about what could be done for us, it’s about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. that’s the principle we were founded on.

但是这不意味着你们的工作就结束了,在民主社会当中公民的作用并不因为投票而结束,你们一定要问问自己,不是美国能为你们做什么,而是我能为美国做什么,我们要进行自我治理,自我约束,这是我们的原则,也是我们建国的理念。

this country has more wealth than any nation, but that’s not what makes us rich. we have the most powerful military in history but that’s not what makes us strong. our university, our culture, are all the envy of the world but that’s not what keeps the world coming to our shores. what makes america exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth, the belief that our destiny is shared, that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and the future generations so that the freedom so many americans have fought for and died for comes with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love, and charity, and duty and patriotism. that’s what makes america great.

我们这个国家是世界上最富有的国家,但并不是我们每个人富有,虽然我们的军队十分强大,但我们个人并不强大,我们的大学、我们的文化,虽然是全球最优秀的,但是却并不是说我们就是全球最优秀的。因为我们是一个多民族的国家,多样性的国家,但是在这样多样性的国家当中,我们有共同的愿景和共识。如果我们推卸责任,不为子孙后代负责,我们将不会是一个能够前进的国家。我们要承担我们的责任,热爱我们的国家,这也是使美国强大的原因。

i am hopeful tonight because i have seen that spirit at work in america. i’ve seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job. i’ve seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb, and in those seals who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew their was a buddy behind them watching their back. i’ve seen it on the shores of new jersey and new york where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.

我今天晚上充满了希望,因为我看到美国劳动人民的精神,还看到了那些商业人士所做的工作,提供了很多工作机会,而且我还看到那些失业的人民得到了帮助,我还看到战士们仍然守卫着我们的国家,因为他们也知道我们在支持着他们。我还看到新泽西纽约每个政*的领导人,都开始抛开他们的歧见,来探讨怎么从桑迪风暴中重建我们的家园。

and i saw it just the other day, in mentor, ohio wehre a father told the story of his eight-year-old daughter who’s long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for healthc are reform passing just a few months before. the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care

i had an opportunity to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his, and when he spoke to the crowd listening to that father’ story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own. and i know that every american wants her future to be just as bright. that’s who we are. that’s the country i’m so proud to lead as your president.

我们还看到,几天前,俄亥俄州一个父亲说他有一个八岁的女儿,女孩的白血病使他的家庭一贫如洗,他们之前并没有得到医疗保障,后来他们受利于几个月前刚刚通过的医改方案,使他们能够支付起医疗费。我和这位父亲,还有他的女儿都见面了,当他说的时候,在场所有的父母都落泪了,因为我们知道,他的女儿也可能是我们的女儿,我们都希望自己的孩子未来充满光芒,这是每个父母的希望,这是我身为总统引以为豪的。

and tonight, despite all the hardship we’ve been through, despite al lthe frustrations of washington, i’ve never been more hopeful about our future

i’ve never been more hopeful about america. and i ask you to sustain that hope. i’m not talking about blind optimism. the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path. i’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. i have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside of us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching to keep working, to keep fighting.

今晚,尽管我们经历了这么多的困难,尽管我们经历了这么多的挫折,我对未来格外充满信心,我对美国格外充满希望,我希望大家延续这种希望,我这里讲的并不是盲目的乐观,指的是我们对未来的挑战,我也没有说天真或者理想化的乐观情绪,我真正的希望,不管我们遇到多少的挫折,多少的困难,只有我们有勇气保持不断努力、不断斗争,不断勇往直前。

america, i believe we can build on the progress we made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class

i believe we can keep the promise of our founder. the idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or hispanic or asian, or native american, or young or old, or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it.

我相信我们我们能在取得成就的基础上取得新的机会,为美国的中产阶级提供新的希望,我相信我们能够继续延续我们建国者的承诺,不管你来自哪里,不管你的肤色是什么,不管你是黑人、白人、亚裔人,任何种族,不管你是同性恋,还是非同性恋,不管你是贫困的,还是富裕的,你都可以来到美国实现你的梦想。

i believe we can sieze this future together. because we are not as divided as our politics suggest. we’re not as cynical as the pundents believe. we are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions. and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. we are and forever will be the united states of america. with your help and god’s grace, we will continue our journey forward. and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth.thank you, america. god bless you. god bless these united states.” [cheering]

我相信,我们可以共同迎来这样的未来,因为我们对未来是充满了希望,我们有雄心壮志,我们赢得的不仅仅是这一个选举,而且是一个未来,是美国的未来。我们将会作为一个整体,是美利坚合众国,而不是分成蓝色或者是红色,上帝会引导我们走向这条道路。并且我们相信,我们会成为世界上最伟大的国家,谢谢你们,上帝保佑美国!

第奥巴马竞选总统连任演讲稿

mr. obama: thank you. thank you so much. vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:

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 the enduring strength of our constitution. we affirm the promise of our democracy. we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the 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 a declaration made more than two 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,更不是我们名字的来源。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 rights, that among 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 those words with the realities of our time. for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth. the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. they gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe 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 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 no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and 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 and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers。

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 are rules to ensure competition 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, and protect its people from life’s 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 central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone. our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our 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; that fidelity 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 more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than american soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. no single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. 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_____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 our resolve and proved our resilience. a decade of war is now ending. an economic recovery has begun. america’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the 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 long as 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 a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. we believe that america’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. we know that america thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty 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 eyes of 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 our time. we must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. but while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single american. that is what this moment requires. that is what will give 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,学更多的知识,向更高处发展。这意味着变革,我们的目标是:国家可以奖励每个美国人的努力和果断。这是现在需要的。这将给 我们的信条赋予真正的意义。

we, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. we must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. but we reject the belief that america must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. for we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. we do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. we recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. the commitments we make to each other – through medicare, and medicaid, and social security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. they do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.

我们,人民,仍然认为,每个公民都应当获得基本的安全和尊严。我 们必须做出艰难抉择,降低医疗成本,缩减赤字规模。但我们拒绝在照顾建设国家的这一代和投 资即将建设国家的下一代间做出选择。因为我们记得过去的教训:老年人的夕阳时光在贫困中度过,家有残障儿童的父母无处求助。我们相信,在这个国家,自由不 只是那些幸运儿的专属,或者说幸福只属于少数人。我们知道,不管我们怎样负责任地生活,我们任何人在任何时候都可能面临失业、突发疾病或住房被可怕的飓风 摧毁的风险。 我们通过医疗保险、联邦医疗补助计划、社会保障项目向每个人做出承诺,这些不会让我们的创造力衰竭,而是会让我们更强大。这些不会让我们成 为充满不劳而获者的国度,这些让我们敢于承担风险,让国家伟大。

we, the people, still believe that our obligations as americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. we will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. the path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. but america cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. we cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must claim its promise. that is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. that is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by god. that’s what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.

我 们,人民,仍然相信,我们作为美国人的义务不只是对我们自己而言,还包括对子孙后代。我们将应对气候变化的威胁,认识到不采取措施应对气候变化就是对我 们的孩子和后代的背叛。一些人可能仍在否定科学界的压倒性判断,但没有人能够避免熊熊火灾、严重旱灾、更强力风暴带来的灾难性打击。通向可再生能源利用的 道路是漫长的,有时是困难的。但美国不能抵制这种趋势,我们必须引领这种趋势。我们不能把制造新就业机会和新行业的技术让给其他国家,我们必须明确这一承 诺。这是我们保持经济活力和国家财富(我们的森林和航道,我们的农田与雪峰)的方法。这将是我们保护我们星球的办法,上帝把这个星球托付给我们。这将给我 们的建国之父们曾宣布的信条赋予意义。

we, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty. the knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. but we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war, who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends, and we must carry those lessons into this time as well. 我们,人民,仍然相信持久的安全与和平,不需要持续的战争。我们勇敢的士兵经受了战 火的考验,他们的技能和勇气是无可匹敌的。我们的公民依然铭记着那些阵 亡者,他们非常清楚我们为自由付出的代价。明白他们的牺牲将让我们永远对那些试图伤害我们的势力保持*惕。但我们也是那些赢得和平而不只是战争的人们的后 代,他们将仇敌转变成最可靠的朋友,我们也必须把这些经验带到这个时代。

we will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. we will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully – not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear. america will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. we will support democracy from asia to africa; from the americas to the middle east, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. and we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.

我们将通过强大的军力和法制保护我们的人民,捍卫我们的价值观。我们将展现试图和平解决与其它国家分歧的勇气,但这不是因为我们对面临的危险持幼稚的态 度,而是因为接触能够更持久地化解疑虑和恐惧。美国将在全球保持强大的联盟,我们将更新这些能扩展我们应对海外危机能力的机制。因为作为世界上最强大的国 家,我们在世界和平方面拥有最大的利益。我们将支持从亚洲到非洲、从美洲至中东的民主国家,因为我们的利益和良心驱使我们代表那些想获得自由的人们采取行 动。我们必须成为贫困者、病患者、被边缘化的人士、异见受害者的希望来源,不仅仅是出于慈善,也是因为这个时代的和平需要不断推进我们共同信念中的原则: 宽容和机遇,人类尊严与正义。

we, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through seneca falls, and selma, and stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a king proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on earth.

我们,人民,今天昭示的最明白的事实是——我们所有人都是生而平等的,这是 依然引领我们的恒星。它引领我们的先辈穿越纽约塞尼卡瀑布城(女权抗议事件)、 塞尔马(黑人权力事件)和石墙骚乱(同性恋与*察发生的暴力事件),引领着所有的男性和女性,留下姓名和没留姓名的人。在伟大的征程中,一路上留下足迹的 人。曾经听一位牧师说,我们不能独自前行。马丁-路德-金说,我们个人的自由与地球上每个灵魂的自由不可分割。

it is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. for our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see america as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of detroit to the hills of appalachia to the quiet lanes of newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.

继续先辈开创的事业是我们这代人的任务。直到我们的妻子、母亲和女儿的付 出能够与她们的努力相称,我们的征途才会结束。我们的征途不会终结,我们要让同性 恋的兄弟姐妹在法律之下得到与其他人同样的待遇。如果我们真正是生而平等的,那么我们对彼此的爱也应该是平等的。我们的征途没有结束,直到没有公民需要等 待数个小时去行使投票权。我们的征途不会结束,直到我们找到更好的方法迎接努力、有憧憬的移民,他们依旧视美国是一块充满机会的土地。直到聪颖年轻的学生 和工程师为我们所用,而不是被逐出美国。我们的征途不会结束,直到我们所有的儿童,从底特律的街道到阿巴拉契亚的山岭,再到康涅狄格州纽镇安静的小巷,直 到他们得到关心和珍视,永远避免受到伤害。

that is our generation’s task – to make these words, these rights, these values – of life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – real for every american. being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time – but it does require us to act in our time.

那 是我们这一代的任务——让生存、自由和追求幸福的言语、权力和价值切实体现在每个美国人的身上。我们的立国文本没有要求我们将每个人的生活一致化。这并 不意味着,我们会以完全一样的方式去定义自由,沿着同样的道路通向幸福。进步不会终止几个世纪以来一直纠结的关于政府角色的争论,但这要求我们现在就采取 行动。

for now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. we cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. we must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect. we must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare philadelphia hall.

目前是由我们决策,我们不能拖延。我们不能 将绝对主义当作原则,或者以表象代替政治,或将中伤视作理性的辩论。我们必须行动,要意识到我们的工作并不完 美。我们必须行动,意识到今天的胜利是并不完全的。这些将有赖于未来4年、40年或是400年致力于这项事业的人,去推进当年在费城制宪会议大厅传承给我 们的永恒精神。

my fellow americans, the oath i have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this capitol, was an oath to god and country, not party or faction – and we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service. but the words i spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty, or an immigrant realizes her dream. my oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.

我的美国同胞,我今天在你们面前宣读的誓词,如同在国会山服务的其他人曾宣读过的誓词一样,是对上帝和国家的誓词,不是对*派或是派别的,我们必须在任期 内忠实地履行这些承诺。但我今天宣读的誓词与士兵报名参军或者是移民实现梦想时所宣读的誓词没有多少差别。我的誓词与我们所有的人向我们头顶飘扬的、让我 们心怀自豪的国旗所表达的誓言没有多大差别。

they are the words of citizens, and they represent our greatest hope.

这些是公民的誓词,代表着我们最伟大的希望。

you and i, as citizens, have the power to set this country’s course.

你和我,作为公民,都有为这个国家设定道路的权力。

you and i, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time – not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals.

你和我,作为公民,有义务塑造我们时代的辩题,不仅是通过我们的选票,而且要为捍卫悠久的价值观和持久的理想发声。

let each of us now embrace, with solemn duty and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright. with common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.

现在让我们相互拥抱,怀着庄严的职责和无比的快乐,这是我们永恒的与生俱来的权利。有共同的努力和共同的目标,用热情与奉献,让我们回应历史的召唤,将珍贵的自由之光带入并不确定的未来。

thank you, god bless you, and may he forever bless these united states of america.

感谢你们,上帝保佑你们,愿上帝永远保佑美利坚合众国。

barack obama’s victory speech: change has come to america

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,还有人怀疑美国是一切皆有可能的国度,还有人怀疑国父们的梦想在我们的时代是否还存在,还有人怀疑我们的民主所拥有的力量,那么今晚,你听到了回答。

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.

是那些今天在学校和教堂排着长队、数不胜数的选民做出了回答;是那些为了投票等待了三四个小时的人们做出了回答。他们中的很多人,是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们相信,这次真的不同――他们的声音会让这次不同。

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.

we are, and always will be, the united states of america.

这个回答来自青年、老人、穷人、富人、民主*、共和*人、黑皮肤、白皮肤、拉美人、亚裔、印第安人、同性恋和非同性恋者、残疾人和健全者。美国告诉世界,我们从来就不是一半红、一半蓝(译者:分别代表民主*和共和*。),我们是——美利坚合众国。

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.

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。

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.

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 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.

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,他付出得更多、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。

第4篇 奥巴马胜选演讲稿文言文版

hello,chicago!

芝城父老,别来无恙,

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.

余尝闻世人有疑,不知当今美利坚凡事皆可成就耶?开国先贤之志方岿然于世耶?民主之伟力不减于昔年耶?凡存诸疑者,今夕当可释然。

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.

今夕之释然,皆蒙美利坚民众之协力——学塾祠庙之外,市井乡野之间,万千父老心焦似焚,苦待竟日,愿献一票之力。其中,平生未尝涉国事者,数亦不少,而今有此义举,皆因一念不衰——今夫天下,非同既往,愿发吁天之声,必成动地之势。

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. we are, and always will be, the united states of america.

今夕之释然,皆仰吾国同胞之齐心——何谈贫富老幼之差、*社宗族之异,惶论发肤肌体之别、志趣爱恶之分。吾国既以“合众”为名,吾辈则更无疏离之意,红蓝二*并肩而立,数十邦州挽手相合,无分你我,共称一家,昂然于世,齐声一呼,天下乃有此释然。

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.

今夕之释然,皆因愤懑者之镇静,忧惧者之勇气,犹疑者之笃定——平素世间种种,消磨其志向,溃灭其梦想,而值此风云之际,除旧更新,当仁不让,倾力而动乾坤者,更何人哉!

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.

俟之诚久,其志弥坚。幸天地明察,乃有今日,乃有此刻,乃有此一选举,乃有我亿万美利坚大好国民——吾邦之大变革,方得自兹而始也!

a little bit earlier this evening, i received an extraordinarily gracious call from sen. mccain.

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. 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.

顷接参议员麦君凯恩电,虽未得晤,幸有一谈,其言谆谆,其意诚诚,鄙人感佩之至。选战期内,麦君劳碌几重,奔波几许,皆为国家计。诸般求索,时日良多,皆非余所能及。于国于民之惊人牺牲,亦非庸庸如吾辈者所可想见。以麦君之胆魄襟怀,能为吾邦所用,实国家之幸,万民之幸也。前途漫漫,其事未竟,余所盼瞩由衷者,唯共麦凯恩君、佩林君,及诸贤士比肩,会吾等之绵力,成吾邦之大业。

i want to thank my 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.

乔君拜登,亦吾所感铭至深者也。竞选之业,艰险不足与外人道,幸有乔君之辅佐,其诚天可鉴之。乔君其人,素言恳辞切,意笃情真,盖尝经斯兰克顿街乡邻之提命,饱聆特拉华州父老之晤教也。他日余既登总统之位,乔君必当副之。

and i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady michelle obama.

拙荆米氏,追随鄙人凡一十六年,既为爱侣,更为挚友,既为吾阖家之基石,又乃余终生之至爱。鄙人尝自忖度,倘无贤妻若此,今朝阔论高谈于此处者,不知何人矣!

sasha and malia i love you both more than you can imagine. and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new white house.

小女萨沙、玛丽,余素深喜之。昔日为父尝与汝等言,此番选战若得一胜,愿购小犬一头相赠,待阖家乔迁总统府邸之日,偕汝等同进吾宅。今当胜负已出,既有一诺在前,必自践行不欺也。

and while she’s no longer with us, i know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight. i know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

祖母大人虽已仙逝,料必有灵在天,俯察人寰,想应颔首开颜矣。吾奥巴马氏列祖列宗,亦当如是。今日今时,此情此景,鄙人追思之心,乌鸟之情,曷其有极!唯生死陌路,仙凡有别,虽怀反哺之心,而无答报之门也!

to my sister maya, my sister alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. i am grateful to them.

至若玛雅、艾玛二姐妹,以及吾家诸同胞,所惠我者,亦属良多,久沐恩德,此当拜谢。

第5篇 2019奥巴马演讲稿()

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。(mr. obama: thank you. thank you so much. vice president biden, mr. chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:)

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,更不是我们名的来源。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,这一理念在宣言中被清晰阐述:(each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our constitution. we affirm the promise of our democracy. we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the 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 a declaration made more than two centuries ago:)

“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。”(“we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”)

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。(today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth. the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. they gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.)

在过去的200多年里,我们做到了。(for more than two hundred years, we have.)

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的状态。我们赢得了新生,誓言共同前进。(through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. we made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.)

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 determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers。)

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 discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.)

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。(together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.)

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。(through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone. our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.)

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。

(but we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity 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 more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than american soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. no single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation,and one people.)

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。(this generation of americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. a decade of war is now ending. an economic recovery has begun. america’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the 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 long as we seize it together.)

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。(for we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. we believe that america’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. we know that america thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty 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 eyes of god but also in our own.)

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,学更多的知识,向更高处发展。这意味着变革,我们的目标是:国家可以奖励每个美国人的努力和果断。这是现在需要的。这将给我们的信条赋予真正的意义。(we understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. we must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. but while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single american. that is what this moment requires. that is what will give real meaning to our creed.)

我们,人民,仍然认为,每个公民都应当获得基本的安全和尊严。我们必须做出艰难抉择,降低医疗成本,缩减赤规模。但我们拒绝在照顾建设国家的这一代和投资即将建设国家的下一代间做出选择。因为我们记得过去的教训:老年人的夕阳时光在贫困中度过,家有残障儿童的父母无处求助。我们相信,在这个国家,自由不只是那些幸运儿的专属,或者说幸福只属于少数人。我们知道,不管我们怎样负责任地生活,我们任何人在任何时候都可能面临失业、突发疾病或住房被可怕的飓风摧毁的风险。 我们通过医疗保险、联邦医疗补助计划、社会保障项目向每个人做出承诺,这些不会让我们的创造力衰竭,而是会让我们更强大。这些不会让我们成为充满不劳而获者的国度,这些让我们敢于承担风险,让国家伟大。(we, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. we must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. but we reject the belief that america must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. for we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. we do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. we recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. the commitments we make to each other – through medicare, and medicaid, and social security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. they do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.)

奥巴马周末电视演讲稿译文

奥巴马周末电视演讲稿译文

hi, everybody. about a year ago, i promised that xx would be a breakthrough year for america. and this week, we got more evidence to back that up.

in december, our businesses created 240,000 new jobs. the unemployment rate fell to 5.6%. that means that xx was the strongest year for job growth since the 1990s. in xx, unemployment fell faster than it has in three decades.

over a 58-month streak, our businesses have created 11.2 million new jobs. after a decade of decline, american manufacturing is in its best stretch of job growth since the „90s. america is now the world‟s number one producer of oil and gas, helping to save drivers about a buck-ten a gallon at the pump over this time last year. thanks to the affordable care act, about 10 million americans have gained health insurance in the past year alone. we have cut our deficits by about two-thirds. and after 13 long years, our war in afghanistan has come to a responsible end, and more of our brave troops have come home.

大家好。大约一年前,我预料xx年将是美国有所突破的一年。本周,我们得到了很多证据支持。

在12月份,我们的企业创造了240,000个就业岗位。失业率降低到5.6%。这意味着xx年是自1990年代以来就业增长最强劲的一年。在xx年,失业率以30年来最快的速度下降。

经过58个月的冲刺,我们的企业创造了1千1百20万个新就业岗位。经过xx年的下滑后,美国的制造业目前正处于自90年代以来就业增长的最佳时期。美国现在是世界上头号石油和天然气生产国,这使驾驶人们自去年这个时候以来每加仑节约1美元10美分。多亏了可承受的医保法案,仅在去年就有近1千万美国人获得医保。我们已经减少了大约三分之二的赤。经过13个漫长的岁月,我们的阿富汗战争合理收官,更多英勇的军人回国。

it has been six years since the crisis. those years have demanded hard work and sacrifice on everybody‟s part. so as a country, we have every right to be proud of what we‟ve got to show for it. america‟s resurgence is real. and now that we‟ve got some calmer waters, if we all do our part, if we all pitch in, we can make sure that tide starts lifting all boats again. we can make sure that the middle class is the engine that powers america‟s prosperity for decades to come.

that‟ll be the focus of my state of the union address in a couple weeks – building on the progress we‟ve made. but i figured, why wait – let‟s get started right now.

危机爆发已经六年了。这些年要求每个人勤奋工作作出牺牲。所以作为一个国家,我们有资格为我们的表现感到自豪。美国的复苏是实实在在的。现在我们已经柳暗花明了,但是如果我们都尽自己的努力、都全力以赴,我们就会再次形成众人拾柴火焰高的局面。我们确保在未来的几十年里中产阶级仍然是美国繁荣的引擎。

这是我几周后的国情咨文报告的重点--百尺竿头更进一步。但是我想,为什么等待--让我们从现在做起。

on wednesday, i visited a ford plant outside of detroit – because the american auto industry and its home state are redefining the word “comeback.” on thursday, i traveled to arizona, a state that was hit among the hardest by the housing crisis, to announce a new plan that will put hundreds of dollars in new homeowners‟ pockets, and help more new families buy their first home. and, i‟m speaking with you today from pellissippi state community college in tennessee, a state making big strides in education, to unveil my new plan to make two years of community college free for every responsible student. i‟m also here to establish a new hub that will attract more good-paying, high-tech manufacturing jobs to our shores.

周三,我访问了底特律郊外的福特工厂--因为美国汽车工业和它的故乡正在重新定义“回归”一词。周四,我访问了亚利桑那州,一个房市危机受害最严重的州之一,宣布一个计划把成百上千的美元放入新家庭的口袋里,帮助更多新家庭买首套住房。我今天正在在教育取得了巨大的进步田纳西州的pellissippi州立社区大学和你们谈话,宣布我的让每个负责任的学生可以免费就读两年制社区大学的新计划。我在这里还建立一个把高收入高技术就业岗位吸引到我们的海岸的新枢纽。

making homeownership easier. bringing a higher education within reach. creating more good jobs that pay good wages. these are just some of the ways we can help every american get ahead in the new economy. and there‟s more to come. because america is coming back. and i want to go full speed ahead.

thanks, everybody, and have a great weekend.

让成家立业更加容易。让高等教育可以承受。创造更多高收入的好工作岗位。这些仅仅是几个帮助每个美国人在新经济中致富的途径。还有很多。因为美国正在回归。我要全速前进。

谢谢岗位,周末快乐。

这个回答来自青年、老人、穷人、富人、民主*、共和*人、黑皮肤、白皮肤、拉美人、亚裔、印第安人、同性恋和非同性恋者、残疾人和健全者。美国告诉世界,我们从来就不是一半红、一半蓝(译者:分别代表民主*和共和*。),我们是——美利坚合众国。

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。

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.

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 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.

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,他付出得更多、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 my 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火车上下班的特拉华州人民的声音。现在他将是美国的副总统,他就是乔·拜登。

and i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady michelle obama.

sasha and malia i love you both more than you can imagine. and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new white house.

and while she’s no longer with us, i know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight. i know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

to my sister maya, my sister alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve 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第一夫人,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。

奥巴马悼念曼德拉逝世中英文演讲稿

at his trial in 1964, nelson mandela closed his statement from the dock saying, "i have fought against white domination, and i have fought against black domination. i have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. it is an ideal which i hope to live for and to achieve. but if needs be, it is an ideal for which i am prepared to die."

and nelson mandela lived for that ideal, and he made it real. he achieved more than could be expected of any man. today, he has gone home. and we have lost one of the most influential, courageous, and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this earth. he no longer belongs to us -- he belongs to the ages.

through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, madiba transformed south africa -- and moved all of us. his journey from a prisoner to a president embodied the promise that human beings -- and countries -- can change for the better. his commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to, whether in the lives of nations or our own personal lives. and the fact that he did it all with grace and good humor, and an ability to acknowledge his own imperfections, only makes the man that much more remarkable. as he once said, "i am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying."

i am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from nelson mandela's life. my very first political action, the first thing i ever did that involved an issue or a policy or politics, was a protest against apartheid. i studied his words and his writings. the day that he was released from prison gave me a sense of what human beings can do when they’re guided by their hopes and not by their fears. and like so many around the globe, i cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that nelson mandela set, and so long as i live i will do what i can to learn from him.

to graça machel and his family, michelle and i extend our deepest sympathy and gratitude for sharing this extraordinary man with us. his life’s work meant long days away from those who loved him the most. and i only hope that the time spent with him these last few weeks brought peace and comfort to his family.

to the people of south africa, we draw strength from the example of renewal, andreconciliation, and resilience that you made real. a free south africa at peace with itself -- that’s an example to the world, and that’s madiba’s legacy to the nation he loved.

we will not likely see the likes of nelson mandela again. so it falls to us as best we can to forward the example that he set: to make decisions guided not by hate, but by love; to never discount the difference that one person can make; to strive for a future that is worthy of his sacrifice.

for now, let us pause and give thanks for the fact that nelson mandela lived -- a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. may god bless his memory and keep him in peace.

第6篇 奥巴马上海演讲稿中文版

上提出的一些问题,这些问题由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提出。很抱歉,我的中文不如你们的英文,但我期待着这个和你们对话的机会。

这是我首次访问中国,看到你们壮丽的国家,我感到很兴奋。在上海,我们看到了全球瞩目的发展——高耸的大厦、繁忙的街道、创业的动态。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象,让我感到赞叹。同时,我也期盼看到向我们展现中国悠久历史的古迹。明天和后天我会在北京,希望有机会看到壮观的故宫和奇迹般的长城。的确,这是一个既有丰富的历史,又对未来的希望充满信心的国家。

我们两国的关系也是如此。毫无疑问,上海在美中关系史上是一个具有重大意义的城市。正是在这里,37年前发布的《上海公报》(shanghai communique)开启了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新篇章。然而,美国与这个城市以及这个国家的纽带可以追溯到更久远的过去,直至美国独立初期。

1784年,我们的建国之父乔治?华盛顿主持了“中国女皇号”(empress of china)的下水仪式。这条船前往中国海岸,寻求与清朝通商。华盛顿希望看到这条悬挂美国国旗的船前往世界各地,与像中国这样的国家缔结新的纽带。这是通常的美国人的愿望——希望达到新的地平线,建立新的、互利的伙伴关系。

在此后的两个世纪中,历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展,但即使在动荡的岁月中,两国人民也抓住机会发展了深入的、甚至极不平凡的关系。例如,美国人民永远不会忘记,二战期间,美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后,中国公民冒着失去一切的危险护理他们。

参加过二战的中国老兵仍然热情欢迎故地重游的美国老兵,他们曾经在那里作战,帮助中国从占领下获得解放。

近40年前,简单的乒乓球比赛带来了两国关系的解冻,使我们两国建立起另一种联系。这种接触令人意外,但却恰恰促成了其成功,因为尽管我们之间存在许多分歧,但是我们共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以从中显现。正如一位美国乒乓球队员在回忆对中国的访问时所说:“那里的人民和我们一样??这个国家和美国有许多相似之处,也有很大区别。”

无须赘言,这个小小的契机带来了《上海公报》的问世,并最终促使美中两国在1979年建立正式外交关系。请看在此后的30年,我们取得了多么长足的进展。

1979年,美中贸易额约为50亿美元,今天,年度贸易额已经超过4000亿美元。贸易在许多方面影响着两国人民的生活,美国电脑中的许多元件以及我们身穿的服装都是从中国进口的,我们向中国出口你们的工业需要的机器。这种贸易可以在太平洋两岸创造更多的就业机会,让我们的人民过上质量更高的生活。随着需求趋于平衡,繁荣的范围将进一步扩大。(学生会演讲稿 www.yanjiangz.com)

1979年,美中之间的政治合作主要立足于双方共同面对的竞争对手苏联。如今我们享有积极的、建设性的、全面的关系,为我们在当今时代的关键性全球问题上建立伙伴关系打开了大门,这些问题包括:经济复苏和清洁能源开发、制止核武器扩散和气候变化的影响、在亚洲及全球各地促进和平与安全。所有这些问题都是我明天与胡**会谈的内容。

1979年,我们两国人民的联系十分有限。今天,我们看到当年乒乓球队员的好奇心已经化为许多领域的纽带,中国留学生在美国的人数名列第二,而在美国学生中,学中文的人数增加了50%。我们两国有近200个友好城市,把我们的社区连接在一起。美中科学家合作进行新的研究与发现。而姚明是我们两国人民都热爱篮球的仅仅一个标志而已——令我遗憾的是,此行中我不能观看上海大鲨鱼队的比赛。

我们两国之间的关系相伴着一个积极变化的时期,这不是偶然的。中国实现了亿万人民脱贫,这一成就史无前例,同时,中国在全球问题中也在发挥更大的作用。美国在促使冷战顺利结束的同时,经济也取得了增长,人民的生活水平提高。

中国有句名言:“温故而知新。”当然,过去30年中我们也曾遇到挫折和挑战,我们的关系不是没有分歧和困难。但是,“我们必然是对手”的概念并非是注定不变的——回顾过去不会是这样。由于我们的合作,美中两国都更加繁荣、更加安全。我们已经看到我们本着共同的利益和相互的尊重去努力所能取得的成果。

可是,这种接触的成功取决于理解,取决于继续进行开诚布公的对话,相互了解,相互学习。正如前面提到的那位美国乒乓球队员所说——作为人,我们有着许多共同之处,但是我们两国在某些方面存在着差别。

我认为每个国家都必须规划自己的前进方向。中国是一个文明古国,文化深远。而美国相对而言是一个年轻的国家,它的文化由来自许多不同国家的移民以及指导我国民主制度的建国纲领所形成。

这些纲领中提出了对人类事务的简单明了的瞩望,并包含了一些核心原则——不论男女人人生而平等,都享有某些基本权利;政府应当反映民意,并对人民的愿望作出回应;商贸应该是开放的,信息应该自由流通;司法保障应该来自法治而不是人治。

当然,我国的历史也并非没有困难的篇章。在很多方面,在很长的时间里,我们要通过斗争去实现这些原则对全体人民的承诺,缔造一个更趋完善的联邦。我们曾打过一场很痛苦的南北战争,将我国的一部分人口从奴役下解放出来。妇女获得投票权、劳工赢得组织权、来自世界各地的移民得到完全的接纳——这些都是经过了一段时间才实现的。 非洲裔美国人即使在获得自由后依然生活在被隔离和不平等的条件下,他们经过不懈努力才最终赢得全面、平等的权利。

所有这些都不曾轻而易举。但是,由于我们对这些核心原则的坚定信念,我们取得了进步,这些原则指引我们冲过了最黑暗的风暴。这就是为什么林肯(lincoln)能在南北战争中挺身而出并宣布,这是一场考验一个孕育于自由之中、“忠实于人人生而平等这一原则”的国家能否永存的斗争。这也就是为什么马丁?路德?金(martin luther king)博士能够站立在林肯纪念堂(lincoln memorial)的台阶上,要求我们的国家实践自身信仰的真正含义。这也就是为什么来自从中国到肯尼亚的各国移民能够在我国的土地上安家;为什么所有努力寻求机会的人都能获得机会;为什么像我这种在不到50年前在美国的某些地方连投票都遇到困难的人,现在能够出任这个国家的总统。

这就是为什么美国一直在全世界为这些核心原则而大声疾呼。我们不寻求把任何政治体制强加给任何别的国家,但是我们也不认为我们主张的这些原则是我们国家所独有的。表达自由和宗教信仰自由——获得信息和政治参与的自由——我们认为这些自由都是普世的权利,所有人都应当享有,包括少数民族和宗教少数派,不管是在美国、中国还是在任何其他国家。正是对普世权利的尊重指导着美国向其他国家开放,尊重各种不同的文化,致力于遵守国际法,并对未来抱有信念。

这些都是你们应当了解的美国的情况。我也知道中国有很多有待我们了解的情况。环顾一下这座伟大的城市——环顾一下这个大厅——我确信我们两个国家有一个很重要的共同点,那就是我们对未来的信念。美国和中国都不想满足于已取得的成就,止步不前。虽然中国是一个古老的国家,但你们显然也对未来满怀信心、雄心和使年轻一代能比这一代人更有作为的决心。

我们不但钦佩中国日益增长的经济,还赞赏你们在科学研究方面极不平凡的努力——从你们建设的基础设施到你们使用的技术,均体现出这种努力。中国现在是世界上最大的互联网使用国——这也是我们今天很高兴能把互联网作为此次活动的一部分的原因。这个国家目前拥有世界上最大的移动电话网络,它正在投资发展既能维持可持续增长,又能应对气候变化的新型能源——我期待着明天在这个至关重要的领域中深化两国的合作关系。然而,最重要的是,我在你们身上看到了中国的未来——年轻一代的聪明才智、献身精神和梦想将为塑造21世纪发挥巨大作用。

我已说过多次,我相信我们现在的世界是紧密相连的。我们所做的工作,我们所建设的繁荣,我们所保护的环境,以及我们所寻求的安全——所有这一切都是共有的。鉴于这种相互联系,在21世纪,权力不应再成为一场零和游戏;一国的成功发展不应以他国为代价。这也就是为

什么美国坚决表示我们不谋求遏制中国的崛起。恰恰相反,我们欢迎中国成为国际社会中一个强大、繁荣、成功的成员——一个从你们这样的每个中国人的权利、实力和创造力中获得力量的中国。

回到前面提到的那句古语——回顾过去。我们知道,大国之间选择合作而非对抗会带来更大的惠益。这是人类不断汲取的一个教训,我们两国的关系史中也不乏其例。我深信,合作必须不止于政府间的合作。合作必须植根于我们的人民——植根于我们共同进行的研究,我们的商贸活动,我们所学到的知识,乃至我们的体育运动。这些桥梁必须由你们这样的年轻人和美国的年轻人共同构筑。

因此,我高兴地宣布,美国准备将在中国留学的美国学生人数大幅度增加到10万人。这种交流是对在我们两国人民之间建立联系的明确承诺,毫无疑问,你们将帮助决定21世纪的命运。我完全相信,对美国来说,再好的使者莫过于我们的年轻人。因为他们和你们一样,才华横溢,充满活力,对有待书写的历史篇章充满乐观。

那么,就让这个举措成为我们稳步寻求合作的下一个步骤,这种合作有利于我们两国乃至整个世界。如果能从今天的对话中得到一点启示的话,我希望那就是致力于今后继续进行这种对话。

非常感谢诸位。现在我希望回答你们大家提出的一些问题。非常感谢。(掌声。)

我只想确保这能进行得顺利。顺便提一句,这是一种在美国的这类直接对话会中十分常见的传统做法。我们要做的是——如果你想提问,就请举手。我会叫到你。我会交替回答现场观众的问题和学生们代为提出的来自互联网的问题,还有,我想洪博培大使可能会提一个我们通过大使馆网站征集到的问题。

让我们开始吧,先看看——我来采取这样的做法:先叫一位男生,再叫一位女生,然后——这样轮流,以便大家认为公平。好吗?首先我要请前排这位年轻女士提问。请等一下拿到麦克风再讲,让大家都能听到。你叫什么名字?

问:我的名字叫(听不清),我是复旦大学的学生。自1985年以来,上海与芝加哥就结为了姐妹城市,两座城市在经济、政治和文化方面进行了各种广泛的的交流活动。那么,您将采取什么举措来加深美国与中国各城市间的这种紧密联系?上海将于明年举办世界博览会。您会带着您的家人来参观世博会吗?谢谢。

奥巴马总统: 十分感谢你提出这个问题。我来这里之前,恰在与上海市长共进午餐,他告诉我,他与芝加哥市——我的家乡——有着极好的关系,他已经到芝加哥市访问过两次。我认为城市之间进行交流是非常好的事。

我与上海市长讨论的内容之一是,两座城市如何能够在清洁能源战略上彼此学习,因为把中国与美国联系在一起的问题之一是:随着人口的增长和对气候变化的担忧,我们如何能够减少我们两国的碳足迹。显然,在美国和许多发达国家中,按人口、按每个人平均计算,他们使用的能源比起在中国这里的每个人使用的能源要多得多。但随着中国的增长和发展,它也将使用更多的能源。因此两国都十分想要找到新的战略。

我们谈到了公共交通及上海正在发展的优异的轨道线。我认为我们在芝加哥和美国可以从正在建造的精良的高速轨道工程中学习一些东西。

在美国,我想我们正在学习建造使用更少能源、节能效率更高的建筑。而我知道,就上海来说——我一路过来看到那么多起重机和那么多正在建造中的新楼房,我们开始吸收这些新技术十分重要,从而将使每幢大楼在照明方面、在取暖方面都做到节能。因此我认为这是一个向彼此学习的很好的机会。

我知道,清洁能源将成为上海世界博览会的一个主要焦点——我从上海市长那里了解到这一点。因此我将乐于出席。我现在还无法确定我未来的日程安排;但我感到十分高兴的是,在上海世博会里将有一个十分精彩的美国馆。我听说预计将有多达7000万人来参观。因此这里将会人山人海,而且会十分激动人心。

芝加哥在历史上曾举办过两次世博会,那两次世博会都给这座城市带来了巨大推动力。我确信同样的情况会在上海这里出现。

谢谢。(掌声)

让我们从网上的提问中选一个问题吧。请介绍你自己,万一 ??

问:我先说中文,再说英语,好吗?

奥巴马总统:好的。

问:我提的这个问题来自互联网。我要谢谢总统先生在您任期内第一年访问中国,在中国与我们交换意见。我想知道您这次访问中国给中国带来什么,您又将带什么回美国?(掌声)

奥巴马总统:我这次访问的主要目的是,加深了解中国以及中国对未来的展望。我与胡**已经有多次会晤。我们共同参加了应对经济金融危机的20国集团会议。我们就一系列广泛议题进行了磋商。但是我认为,美国继续加深对中国的了解非常重要,正如中国也同样需要继续加深了解美国。

至于我希望从这次会晤或从这次访问中看到什么成果,除了借这个绝好的机会参观故宫和长城,并与在座的各位见面——这些都是主要内容——我还打算与胡**讨论一个要点,也就是洪博培大使前面谈到的,没有美国和中国的共识,就无法战胜多少全球性的挑战。

我来举一个具体例子,这就是我们刚刚谈到的气候变化问题。美国和中国是世界上最大的两个温室气体放排及碳排放国,这种排放导致地球变暖。如我在前面所说,美国作为一个高度发达的国家,人均能源消耗量和温室气体排放量比中国高得多。另一方面,中国的增长速度更快,人口更多。因此,除非我们两国有意愿在这个问题上采取关键步骤,否则我们就无法解决这个问题。

在定于12月举行的哥本哈根会议上,世界领导人将努力寻找一项方案,使我们大家都能够作

出各自不同的承诺,对各国承担的义务有所区分——显然,因为中国贫困人口多得多,因此不必采取与美国完全相同的行动——但是,在计划如何减少温室气体方面,我们大家都应承担一定的义务。

这个例子说明了我希望在这次会晤中看到什么成果——我将与胡**交换想法,讨论美中两国如何能够共同发挥领导作用。因为,我可以告诉你们,世界上其他国家将等待着我们。他们将观察我们的行动。如果他们认为美国和中国并不认真对待这个问题,那么他们也就不会认真对待它。这是我们两国现在肩负的领导责任。我的希望是,通过越来越多的讨论和对话,我们能够向世界更多地展示我们在许多这些关键问题上的领导作用。好不好?(掌声)

好吧,下面该轮到男生了,对吗?我来请这位小伙子提问。

问:总统先生,下午好。我来自同济大学。我想引用孔子的一句话:“有朋自远方来不亦乐乎”。在《论语》中有一句名言叫和而不同。中国倡导一个和谐世界。我们知道美国形成了一种以多元化为特点的文化,请问您的这届政府会采取哪些措施来建设一个由不同文化组成的多元化世界?您会采取哪些措施尊重其他国家不同的文化和历史?我们将来能进行哪些合作?

奥巴马总统:这一点提得非常好。美国的优势之一就是我们有一种非常多元化的文化。我们那里有来自世界各地的人。因此,对于美国人长什么样不能一言以蔽之。以我自己的家庭为例,我父亲来自肯尼亚,我母亲来自美国中西部的堪萨斯州,我妹妹有一半的印度尼西亚血统,她又嫁给了一位华裔加拿大人。因此,我们奥巴马全家的聚会就像联合国一样。(笑声)

而这就是美国的力量所在,因为它意味着我们从不同的文化、不同的饮食和不同的想法中学到东西,这使我们的社会变得更加生机勃勃。

与此同时,每个国家在相互连通的世界中都拥有自己的文化、自己的历史和自己的传统。因此,我认为对于美国来讲重要的一点是,不能自认为对我们有利的东西也一定会给其他人带来好处。我们在对待其他国家时态度应当谦虚。

但我必须说明,正如我在开场白中所说的那样,我们确实认为一些基本原则是人所共有的,不论文化背景如何。例如,在联合国,我们非常积极地努力确保世界各地的儿童都享有某些基本权利——如果儿童受到剥削,如果他们被强迫做童工,尽管以前在包括美国在内的许多国家都可能发生过这样的事情,但是世界上所有的国家现在都应当发展到能以比过去更好的方式对待儿童的程度。这是一种普世价值观。

我相信在对待妇女的态度上也是如此。我在来这里之前同上海市长共进午餐并进行了很有意思的讨论,他告诉我现在中国高等院校中有很多专业的在校女生实际上比男生多,而且她们的学习非常好。我认为这是一个极好的进步指标,因为纵观世界各地的发展就会看到,一个国家的发展是否成功的最重要指标之一,就是该国女童受教育的情况以及妇女享有的待遇。而那些能够发挥妇女的聪明才智和能量,并能为她们提供良好教育的国家,通常比那些没有这么做的国家有更好的经济发展。

当然,不同的文化对男性和女性之间的关系可能会有不同的态度,不过我认为美国的观点是,我们必须申明全世界妇女的权利。如果我们看到女性在一些社会中受到压迫,得不到机会,

或遭受暴力,我们将大声疾呼。

有些人可能不同意我们的观点,我们可以就此展开对话。但我们认为有必要恪守我们的理念和价值观。当然,我们在这样做的时候必须谦逊,必须认识到我们自己并非十全十美,在很多问题上还有待取得进展。如果你们问一问美国妇女,她们会告诉你,有一些男性对妇女在社会中的地位还抱着老观念不放。因此,我们不能说我们解决了全部问题,但我们认为必须为这些普世理念和这些普世价值观大声疾呼。

好吧。下面要回答一个通过互联网提出的问题。

问:您好,总统先生。我非常荣幸能来到这里见到您本人。

奥巴马总统:谢谢你。

问:我将读一个从网上选出的对您的提问,这个问题是一个台湾人提出的。他在提问时说:我来自台湾,现在在大陆做生意。由于两岸关系近年来不断改善,我现在在大陆的生意做得很好。因此,当我听到美国有人要提议——继续向台湾出售武器的消息时,我开始感到非常担心。我担心这会破坏海峡两岸的关系。因此,总统先生,我想知道您是否支持改善两岸关系。当然,这个问题虽然是一位商人提出的,但所有年轻的中国学生其实都非常关心这个问题,所以我们特别希望了解您在这个问题上的立场。谢谢。(掌声)

奥巴马总统:谢谢你。我一贯明确表示,本届政府完全支持一个中国的政策,即几十年前发布的三个联合公报所阐明的我们与_____的关系以及我们与台湾的关系。我们不想改变这项政策和这项方针。

我非常高兴地看到紧张局势的缓解和海峡两岸关系的改善,而且我非常盼望和希望我们能继续看到台湾和中国其他地区在解决很多这类问题时显著改善关系。

我认为,美国在对外政策中,也包括在对中国的政策中,一直寻求的是通过对话和谈判解决问题的途径。我们一贯认为这是最好的途径。而且我认为,这个地区正在建立的经济和商贸联系有助于缓解很多在你们出生前,甚至在我出生前就已形成的紧张关系。

但有些人在考虑这些问题时仍然向后看,而不是展望未来。我更愿意展望未来。就像我刚才说的,我认为正在建立的商贸关系——当人们认为他们能够做生意赚钱时,有些因素会使他们的想法变得非常清楚,而不致过分担心意识形态的问题。我认为这个地区已经开始出现这种变化,而且我们非常支持这一进程。

好吧,该轮到女生了,是吧?就是这一位。等一下,让我们——哎呦,对不起,他们把话筒拿回到这边了。下一个问题我再请你提。

请讲,我一会儿到这边来。请讲。

问:谢谢您。

奥巴马总统:我过一会儿再请你提问。我要先叫她,然后再叫你。

请讲。

问:好的,谢谢您。总统先生,我是上海交通大学的学生。我想请问一个关于诺贝尔和平奖的问题。依您之见,您获得诺贝尔和平奖的主要原因是什么?它会给您更多责任和压力来促进世界和平吗?它会对您处理国际事务的想法产生影响吗?非常感谢。

奥巴马总统:谢谢。这个问题提得很好。我必须说,没有人比我对赢得诺贝尔和平奖更感到吃惊。这当然是一项殊荣。基于过去获奖者的辉煌历史,我不认为我的获奖是完全实至名归的。但是,我只能谦卑地接受这一事实,也就是,使委员会受到感动的是美国民众以及那种不仅让美国发生改变、而且让美国对世界的方针发生改变的可能性。因此我想,以某种方式说,虽然他们颁给我这个奖,但我更只是一个象征,代表了我们在处理国际事务方面改变做法的努力。

至于我所感受的重担,我能担任总统一职着实为莫大的荣幸。每当我抱怨工作太繁重时,我的妻子总是提醒我:“你可是自愿要做这份工作的。”(笑声)我不知道中国是否有类似的谚语,但是我们美国人会说:“你铺了床,就得在上面睡觉。”大意是,你在许愿时要当心,因为你可能真的会如愿。

我们大家都有促进世界和平的义务。这并非总是易事。世界上依然存在很多几世纪以来尚未解决的冲突。看看中东,有些战争和冲突是基于千年之前的争论。在全球的很多地方,例如非洲,还有一些难以解决的民族和部落冲突。

显然,目前我身为美国总统,职责之一是担任三军统帅,而我的首要任务是保护美国人民。由于“9.11”袭击和世界各地的恐怖袭击造成无辜人民的伤亡,我的责任就是确保我们根除这些恐怖组织,并且和其他国家合作解决这类暴力问题。

然而,尽管我不认为我们可以完全消除国家或民族之间的暴力,我还是认为我们肯定可以减少民族之间的暴力——通过对话、交换意见、以及增进民族和文化之间的理解。

特别是在今天,只要一个人引爆一颗炸弹就能造成大规模的破坏,因此我们比以往任何时候都要更加努力推进促进和平的策略。技术可以是为人类造福的强大工具,但是也能让少数人有机可乘,造成极大的损害。所以我衷心希望在我和胡**会面时以及双方的持续交往中,美中两国能够携手合作,设法减少正在发生的种种冲突。

然而,我们要在这样做,在我们动用军队的时候,还需想到,因为我们是如此强有力的大国,因此必须时刻反省我们的作为,检视我们的动机和自身的利益,确保我们不会仅仅因为没有人能够阻止我们就使用武装力量。大国强国的责任之一就是,在国际社会中以负责任的态度行事。我希望美中两国能够协力创建一个减少全球冲突的国际规范。(掌声)

好。怎么样?jon——我将让我的大使提问,我想他有一个通过使馆网站提的问题。这是个挑选出来的问题,我想是由是我们美国记者团成员挑选的, 所以?.

洪博培大使:对。而且毫不奇怪:“在一个有3亿5千万网民,6千万博客的国家,你听说没听说过防火墙?” 第二,“我们该不该能够自由使用twitter(叽喳网)?”——就是这个问题。

奥巴马总统:首先,我要说,我从没用过twitter。我注意到,年轻人他们都忙着这些电子东西。我的指头在电话上打字有些不灵。但是,我对技术深信不疑,我深信信息交流的开放性。我以为,信息交流得越自由,社会就越强大,因为这样世界各国的公民可以向自己的政府问责。他们会开始独立思考,从而产生新思想,鼓励创造性。

所以,我从来都是一个互联网公开使用的支持者。我大力支持信息不受管制。这也是我刚才所说的美国传统的一部分,我认识到不同的国家有不同的传统。我可以告诉你们,在美国,我们具有的自由的互联网——或者说上网无限制,是我们力量的一个来源,我觉得应该得到鼓励。

我应该告诉你们,我应该坦诚地说,作为美国总统,有时候我倒希望信息传播得没有这么自由,因为这样我就不会老是听到别人批评我。我觉得人很自然地 ——当他们在有权有势的时候就会想,那个人怎么能那样说我,或者,那是不负责任的,等等。然而事实是,由于在美国信息是自由交流的,在美国有许多人批评我,说我什么的都有,我其实认为这让我们的民主体制更强大,也让我成为一个更好的领导人,因为这种做法迫使我倾听那些我不想听的意见,迫使我审视我每天的所作所为,看一看我是否为美国人民尽了全力。

我认为互联网成了这种公民参与的更强大的工具。其实,我能当选总统的原因之一,就是因为通过互联网我们能够调动起像你们这样的年轻人的参与。开始的时候,谁也不认为我们能赢,因为我们并没有所必须的财力最大的人的支持,也没有最有势力的政治掮客。但通过互联网,人们对我们的竞选活动产生了激情,他们开始组织起来,聚会,安排竞选活动、事项和集会,最后成了真正的自下而上的运动,使我们能够干得出色。

而这并不仅是政府和政治事务的情形,商务也是如此。大家想想,像谷歌(google)这样一个公司,仅在20年前——不到20年前,来自两位不比你们大多少的人的设想。当时它是一个科技项目。但突然间,因为互联网的缘故,他们能够创立起一个给世界各地商务带来变革的新产业。所以说,若不是有了互联网的自由和开放,就不会有谷歌。

因此,我大力支持不对互联网使用、互联网上网、以及twitter等信息技术实行限制。我们越开放,就越能够沟通,这也将有助于让世界走到一起。

想一想——在我想到我的女儿玛莉娅(malia)和萨夏(sasha)的时候,她俩一个11岁,一个8岁,她们可以从自己的房间里上网,游历到上海。她们可以到世界任何一个地方,可以学习了解任何她们想了解的事情。她们拥有的是一种多么大的力量。我认为,这有助于推进我们刚才谈到的那种理解。

如我刚才所说,技术总有不利的一面。它也意味着恐怖分子能够以过去也许不可能的方式在网上组织起来。极端分子可以进行调动。所以,开放是有一些代价的,这不可否定认。但是,我认为,好处如此远远超过坏处,还是保持开放为好。这是我对这个论坛有互联网的部分感到高兴的原因。

我再回答两个问题,下一个问题来自一位男士,我想是。对,就在这里。给你麦克风。

问:首先,我想说,我非常荣幸能站在这里向您提问,我觉得我的运气太好了,您的讲话如此清楚,我都用不着这样一个耳机。(笑声)

我的问题是这样的。我的姓名是(听不清),我是复旦大学管理学院的学生,我想问您这个问题——有人已经问过您有关诺贝尔和平奖的某个方面的事情,我不想再问同一方面的问题,我想要问:赢得这样崇高的荣誉是非常不容易的——我想要知道,我们都想知道,您是如何争取到的?您得到的是什么样的大学教育,帮助您获得了如此殊荣? 我们都很好奇,我们想请您分享您的大学教育经历,以便走上成功之路。

奥巴马总统:首先,我要告诉你,我并不知道有一个能指引你赢得诺贝尔和平奖的教学大纲或者课程。(笑声)所以我不能给你保证。但是我想,获得成功的诀窍其实就是你现在已经在实践的。毫无疑问,你们都十分努力,你们在努力学习,你们有好奇心,你们愿意思考新的思想,并且自己作思考。你们知道,我现在所碰到的最激励我的成功者,是那些不仅愿意十分努力地工作,而且总是在提高自己的人,他们不断探索新思路,而不是仅仅墨守成规。

当然,通向成功的道路各不相同,你们中的一些人将进入政府机构;有些可能想成为教师或教授;也有些人可能想进入商贸界。但是我想,无论你进入哪个领域,如果你能持续不断地提高自己,不尽全力决不满足,而且不断提出新问题——“我是否还能用不同的方式来做?” 无论是在科学技术还是艺术领域,“是否还有没人想到过的新的解决问题的途径?”——我想这样一些人通常能够超群出众。

我还有最后一点建议,这个建议曾经使我受益匪浅,那就是我最敬仰的那些成功人士们,他们不是仅为自己着想,而是还考虑超越个人范围的事情。他们希望为社会作出贡献。他们希望为自己的国家、自己的民族、自己的城市作出贡献。他们希望能够产生超出自己个人生活以外的影响力。

我想,我们许多人都会忙于给自己挣钱,买一辆好车,买一座舒适的房子——所有这些都重要,但是那些真正对世界产生永久性影响的人是因为他们有远大的理想。他们问自己:我如何帮助更多的人免遭饥饿?我如何帮助没上过学的儿童接受教育?我如何帮助以和平方式化解冲突?我认为只有这样的人才能最终对世界产生重大影响。我相信,只要像你们这样的年轻人继续努力下去,就能够产生这样的影响。

还有问题吗?好,这是最后一个问题。很遗憾,时间过得真快,最后回答一个网友的提问,因为我希望确保我们这三位出色的学生都有机会提问。

问:总统先生,很荣幸能提最后一个问题。我是复旦大学的学生,今天我也是中国青年[听不清]的代表。我想这是一个来自北京的问题:非常关注您的阿富汗政策。他想知道,恐怖主义是否仍然是美国最大的安全威胁?您如何评估在阿富汗的军事行动?它是否会演变成另一场伊拉克战争?非常感谢您。

奥巴马总统:我认为这是一个非常好的问题。首先,我继续认为美国安全面临的最大威胁是

像“基地”组织那样的恐怖主义网络。原因是,虽然他们人数很少,但他们已经表明他们毫无人性,不惜滥杀无辜民众。由于今天的技术,如果一个这样的组织得到大规模毁灭性武器——例如核武器、化学武器或生物武器——并且在一个城市使用,无论是在上海还是纽约,少数几个人就可能杀害数万人甚至数十万人。因此,这的确构成极大的威胁。

我们最初进入阿富汗的原因是因为“基地”组织在那里,塔利班接纳了他们。现在他们已经越过阿富汗边界进入巴基斯坦,但他们在该地区保持了与其他极端主义组织建立的网络。我确信,我们有必要在阿富汗实现稳定,使阿富汗人民能够保护自己,同时作为伙伴来帮助削弱这些极端主义网络的力量。

显然这是非常困难的事情——在我的工作中,最难做的决定之一就是命令年轻人奔赴战场。我经常要会见那些阵亡官兵的父母亲,那些军人不能再回家。这于我是一个精神重负,我为此感到沉痛。

幸运的是,我们的武装部队——这些从军的年轻人——他们坚信为国奉献,自愿去前线。我相信,通过更广泛的联盟,包括我们的北约盟国和其他贡献力量的盟友——如澳大利亚——我们有可能帮助训练阿富汗人,使他们有一个能够发挥作用的政府,拥有自己的安全部队,然后我们可以逐步撤回我们的部队,因为到那时已经不存在塔利班下台后所形成的真空。

但这是一项艰巨的任务,并不容易。我认为,要最终击败这些恐怖主义极端分子,我们必须理解这不仅仅是一项军事行动。我们还要知道是什么驱使年轻人变成恐怖分子,他们为什么愿意充当自杀爆炸手。显然,这有很多不同的原因,其中包括对宗教的歪曲,使人们误认为这种暴力行为是正当的。巴基斯坦和阿富汗等地之所以发生那些事件,原因之一是那些年轻人没有受过教育,也没有进取机会,所以他们在生活中看不到出路,这使得他们以为那样做是惟一的选择。

因此,我们在阿富汗要做的事情之一是寻找途径来培训教师,建立学校,改善农业,给人民以更大的希望。这样做不会改变乌萨马·本·拉登(osama bin laden)之流的想法,他们的意识形态是根深蒂固的,就是要打击西方。但这样做会改变那些他们想要招募的年轻人,这很重要。从长远来看,这至少和我们所能采取的任何军事行动同等重要,甚至更为重要。好吗?

好。我感到非常愉快。非常感谢各位。首先我想说我非常钦佩你们每一个人的英语水平,显然你们很用功。有机会和大家见面使我感到美中关系的未来充满希望。

我希望你们很多人有机会来美国旅行和访问。你们会受到欢迎。我相信你们会发现美国人民对中国人民是很热情的。我深信,有了你们这些年轻人和我所知道的美国年轻人,我们两个伟大的国家将继续繁荣昌盛,并帮助创造一个更加和平、安全的世界。

因此,非常感谢各位。谢谢你们。(掌声)
