奥巴马在2004年选举美国总统的演讲稿
是这篇么...是的我请选择我吧..感激不尽Obama: The Change We Need This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression -- 760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year. Businesses and families can't get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher. At a moment like this, we can't afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. America needs a new direction. That's why I'm running for president of the United States. Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need. My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably. He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party. But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time. And when it comes to the economy, he still can't tell the American people one major thing he'd do differently from George Bush. It's not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans -- a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class. It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years. It's not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk -- a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said 'raises more questions than it answers.' If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers. That's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made -- businessmen like Warren Buffett, whose support I'm proud to have. That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator -- it's been the world's greatest job generator. It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history. To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families. If you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you'll get a tax cut. If you make more than $250,000, you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s -- and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan. We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country. I'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil. When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now. My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history. My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American. If you already have health insurance, the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums. If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of Congress get for themselves. To give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, I'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers. But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability. And we'll make a deal with every young American: If you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition. And when it comes to keeping this country safe, I'll end the Iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while it sits on a huge surplus. For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up. I'll finally finish the fight against bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9\\\/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that America remains the last, best hope of Earth. None of this will be easy. It won't happen overnight. But I believe we can do this because I believe in America. This is the country that allowed our parents and grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could; that even if they couldn't have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own. And at every moment in our history, we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never forgotten the fundamental truth that in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us. So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter. I ask you to believe -- not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. Tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed. You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election -- together, we will change this country and change the world. 现在是美国历史的关键时刻。
我们面临着大萧条以来最为严重的一场经济危机：今年以来已经有76万人失业；企业和家庭无法获得信贷；房价不断下滑，养老金日益缩水；工资降到了十年来的最低水平，同时医疗和教育成本却涨到了有史以来的最高点。
在眼下这样的危急时刻，我们承受不起又一个四年的支出增长、千疮百孔的减税措施、或是监管全无──即使是美国联邦储备委员会（Fed）前主席格林斯潘（Alan Greenspan）现在也承认那是个错误。
美国需要一个新的方向。
这也正是我竞选美国总统的原因所在。
明天，也就是周二，你们将有能力赋予这个国家我们所需要的变革。
Corbis我的竞选对手麦凯恩参议员为美国作出的贡献令人尊敬。
他甚至可以指出他过去曾有几次与自己的党派分道扬镳。
然而，在过去八年中，他十之八九都赞同布什总统的主张。
而在经济问题上，他仍然无法向美国民众说明，他与布什的做法会有什么太大区别。
如果提出的税收计划没有让1亿多美国中产阶级获得一分钱的税项减免，这不是变革──即使是《国家评论》（National Review）杂志和其他保守派组织也抱怨说，这个计划对造福中产阶级贡献寥寥。
在近年来不断累积的财政赤字上再添5万亿美元，这不是变革。
如果解决房市危机的计划又将另外3,000亿美元纳税人的钱置于风险之中，这不是变革──《华尔街日报》编辑委员会称这一计划“产生的问题比解决的问题多”。
如果说我们从此次经济危机中学到了什么的话，那就是我们要患难与共。
从首席执行长到公司股东，从金融家到工厂工人，我们每个人都休戚相关，因为美国的民众越富足，美国才会越繁荣。
这就是为什么我们有些企业巨头把提高员工薪酬作为自己的一项使命，让员工能买得起自己生产的产品，比如巴菲特（Warren Buffett）这样的商界人士。
我对能有他的支持感到自豪。
这就是为什么美国经济不仅是世界上最伟大的财富创造者，也是世界上最伟大的就业机会制造者。
它一直托举着有史以来规模最大的中产阶级之舟。
为了重塑美国中产阶级，我将给予95%的工人及其家庭税收减免待遇。
如果你工作，就交税；如果年收入不足20万美元，你会获得减税；即使你的年收入超过了25万美元，你所负担的税率也比上世纪九十年代要低──资本利得税和股息税要比里根总统时期低三分之一。
通过重建日益破败的基础设施、在美国的各个角落接通宽带，我们将创造200万个就业岗位。
未来的十年中，我将每年在可再生能源领域投资150亿美元，进而新增500万个岗位；这些工作环保、薪酬丰厚、不能外包，而且能帮助我们摆脱对中东石油的依赖。
在医疗问题上，我们不必在政府运营的体系和目前这种我们难以负担的体系之间进行选择。
我的竞选对手提出的方案会令美国人有史以来首次为自己获得的医疗福利纳税。
我的计划则会让医疗保健成为每个美国人都负担得起、享受得到的服务。
根据我的计划，如果你已经有了医疗保险，你将看到的唯一一个变化是保费降低；如果你还没有医疗保险，你将能与国会议员们享受到同样的医疗福利。
为了让每个孩子享受到世界级的教育，让他们能在全球经济中竞争21世纪的工作岗位，我将投资早期教育，并且增加师资力量。
不过，我同时也会要求更高的标准和更多的责任。
我们向每个美国年轻人作出承诺：如果你致力于服务你的社区或是你的国家，我们将确保你能负担得起自己的学费。
在国防安全问题上，我将负责任地结束伊拉克战争，这样我们就不必在这个国家享有巨额财政盈余的情况下每月却要在那里花费100亿美元。
为了美国的经济、美国的军队和伊拉克的长期稳定，现在是伊拉克人站出来的时候了。
我将最终完成对本·拉登（Bin Laden）和基地组织恐怖分子的打击，正是这些人制造了9\\\/11恐怖袭击，同时我还会建立新的合作关系、击退21世纪出现的威胁，恢复我们的道德威望，让美国仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。
这些事情没有一件是轻而易举能办到的，也不是一朝一夕能完成的。
但是，我坚信我们能成功，因为我对美国深信不疑。
是美国使我们的父辈相信，即使他们自己无法上大学，也可以每周积攒下一些钱来，让他们的孩子接受好的教育；即使他们不能拥有自己的企业，也可以通过努力工作让自己的孩子创办企业。
在美国历史的每个时刻，我们都勇敢地站起来面对挑战，因为我们从来没有忘记过这样一个基本真理：在美国，我们的命运并非天定，而是掌握在我们自己的手中。
所以，明天，我恳请你们书写美国下一个伟大的篇章。
我恳请你们不只相信我带来变革的能力，还有你们自己的能力。
明天，你们可以选择这样一种政策──向美国中产阶级进行投入、创造新的就业岗位、实现经济增长让人人都有成功的机会。
你们可以选择希望而非恐惧、选择团结而非分裂、选择变革的希望而非墨守成规。
如果你们投我的票，我们将不仅赢得此次竞选，还将一起改变这个国家、改变这个世界。
美国总统奥巴马的演讲稿
芝加哥，
如果有人怀疑美国是个一切皆有可能的地怀疑美国奠基者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。
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。
无论年龄，无论贫富，无论民主党人或共和党人，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
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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
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。
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。
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。
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
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。
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。
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。
党派之争、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党大旗扛进白宫时，伴随着他的是自强自立、个人自由、国家统一的共和党建党理念。
这也是我们所有人都珍视的理念。
虽然民主党今晚大胜，但我们态度谦卑，并决心弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。
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
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。
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。
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。
安妮经历了蒙哥马利公交车事件、伯明翰黑人暴动事件、塞尔马血腥周末事件。
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。
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。
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
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
谢谢大家
愿上帝保佑你们，保佑美利坚合众国。
奥巴马的演讲稿（中英对照）
My fellow citizens:我的同胞I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.今天我站在这里，看到眼临的重大任务，深感卑微。
我你们对我的信也知道先辈们为了这个国家所作的牺牲。
我要感谢布什总统为国家做出的贡献，以及感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给与的慷慨协作。
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.迄今为止，已经有44个美国总统宣誓就职。
总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣，但通常面临的是乌云密布的紧张形势。
在紧张的形势中，支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见，也在于美国人民对国家先驱者理想的信仰，以及对美国立国文件的忠诚。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.前辈们如此，我们这一代美国人也要如此。
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our healthcare is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.现在我们都深知，我们身处危机之中。
我们的国家在战斗，对手是影响深远的暴力和憎恨；国家的经济也受到严重的削弱，原因虽有一些人的贪婪和不负责任，但更为重要的是我们作为一个整体在一些重大问题上决策失误，同时也未能做好应对新时代的准备。
我们的人民正在失去家园，失去工作，很多企业倒闭。
社会的医疗过于昂贵、学校教育让许多人失望，而且每天都会有新的证据显示，我们利用能源的方式助长了我们的敌对势力，同时也威胁着我们的星球。
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.统计数据的指标传达着危机的消息。
危机难以测量，但更难以测量的是其对美国人国家自信的侵蚀--现在一种认为美国衰落不可避免，我们的下一代必须低调的言论正在吞噬着人们的自信。
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.今天我要说，我们的确面临着很多严峻的挑战，而且在短期内不大可能轻易解决。
但是我们要相信，我们一定会度过难关。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.今天，我们在这里齐聚一堂，因为我们战胜恐惧选择了希望，摒弃了冲突和矛盾而选择了团结。
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.今天，我们宣布要为无谓的摩擦、不实的承诺和指责画上句号，我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的若干陈旧教条。
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.美国仍是一个年轻的国家，借用《圣经》的话说，放弃幼稚的时代已经到来了。
重拾坚韧精神的时代已经到来，我们要为历史作出更好的选择，我们要秉承历史赋予的宝贵权利，秉承那种代代相传的高贵理念：上帝赋予我们每个人以平等和自由，以及每个人尽全力去追求幸福的机会。
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labour, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时，我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的，伟大需要努力赢得。
（我们的民族一路走来），这旅途之中从未有过捷径或者妥协，这旅途也不适合胆怯之人、或者爱安逸胜过爱工作之人、或者单单追求名利之人。
这条路是勇于承担风险者之路，是实干家、创造者之路。
这其中有一些人名留青史，但是更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。
正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎岖的旅行，带领我们走向富强和自由。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the west; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn.为了我们，先辈们带着微薄的细软，横渡大洋，寻找新生活；为了我们，先辈们忍辱负重，用血汗浇铸工厂；为了我们，先辈们在荒芜的西部大地辛勤耕作，定居他乡；为了我们，先辈们奔赴（独立战争中的）康科德城和葛底斯堡、（二战中的）诺曼底、（越战中的）Khe Sahn，他们征战、死去。
Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.一次又一次，我们的先辈们战斗着、牺牲着、操劳着，只为了我们可以生活得更好。
在他们看来，美国的强盛与伟大超越了个人雄心，也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.今天我们继续先辈们的旅途。
美国依然是地球上最富裕、最强大的国家。
同危机初露端倪之时相比，美国人民的生产力依然旺盛；与上周、上个月或者去年相比，我们的头脑依然富于创造力，我们的商品和服务依然很有市场，我们的实力不曾削弱。
但是，可以肯定的是，轻歌曼舞的时代、保护狭隘利益的时代以及对艰难决定犹豫不决的时代已经过去了。
从今天开始，我们必须跌倒后爬起来，拍拍身上的泥土，重新开始工作，重塑美国。
For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise healthcare's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.我目之所及，都有工作有待完成。
国家的经济情况要求我们采取大胆且快速的行动，我们的确是要行动，不仅是要创造就业，更要为（下一轮经济）增长打下新的基础。
我们将造桥铺路，为企业铺设电网和数字线路，将我们联系在一起。
我们将回归科学，运用科技的奇迹提高医疗质量，降低医疗费用。
我们将利用风能、太阳能和土壤驱动车辆，为工厂提供能源。
我们将改革中小学以及大专院校，以适应新时代的要求。
这一切，我们都能做到，而且我们都将会做到。
Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.现在，有一些人开始质疑我们的野心是不是太大了，他们认为我们的体制承载不了太多的宏伟计划。
他们是健忘了。
他们已经忘了这个国家已经取得的成就；他们已经忘了当创造力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合起来时，自由的美国人民所能发挥的能量。
What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.
奥巴马就职演讲稿
楼上的是竞选胜利演讲，不对啊。
[size]My fellow citizens: 各位同胞： I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. 今天我站在这里，为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑，对各位的信任心怀感激，对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。
我要谢谢布什总统为这个国家的服务，也感 谢他在政权转移期间的宽厚和配合。
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. 四十四位美国人发表过总统就职誓言，这些誓词或是在繁荣富强及和平宁静之际发表，或是在乌云密布，时局动荡之时。
在艰困的时候，美国 能箕裘相继，不仅因为居高位者有能力或愿景，也因为人民持续对先人的抱负有信心，也忠于创建我国的法统。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 因此，美国才能承继下来。
因此，这一代美国人必须承继下去。

Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. 现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正处于对抗深远暴力和憎恨的战争。
我们的经济元气大伤，是某些人贪婪且不负责任的后果，也是 大众未能做出艰难的选择，为国家进入新时代做淮备所致。
许多人失去房子，丢了工作，生意垮了。
我们的医疗照护太昂贵，学校教育辜负了 许多人。
每天都有更多证据显示，我们利用能源的方式壮大我们的对敌，威胁我们的星球。
These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights. 这些都是得自资料和统计数据的危机指标。
比较无法测量但同样深沉的，是举国信心尽失—持续担心美国将无可避免地衰退，也害怕下一代一 定会眼界变低。
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met. 今天我要告诉各位，我们面临的挑战是真的，挑战非常严重，且不在少数。
它们不是可以轻易，或在短时间内解决。
但是，美国要了解，这些 挑战会被解决。
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. 在这一天，我们聚在一起，因为我们选择希望而非恐惧，有意义的团结而非纷争和不合。
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. 在这一天，我们来此宣示，那些无用的抱怨和虚伪的承诺已终结，那些扭曲我们政治已久的相互指控和陈旧教条已终结。
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. 我们仍是个年轻的国家，但借用圣经的话，摆脱幼稚事物的时刻到来了，重申我们坚忍精神的时刻到来了，选择我们更好的历史，实践那种代 代传承的珍贵权利，那种高贵的理念：就是上帝的应许，我们每个人都是平等的，每个人都是自由的，每个人都应该有机会追求全然的幸福。
In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. 再次肯定我们国家的伟大，我们了解伟大绝非赐予而来，必须努力达成。
我们的旅程从来就不是抄捷径或很容易就满足。
这条路一直都不是给 不勇敢的人走的，那些偏好逸乐胜过工作，或者只想追求名利就满足的人。
恰恰相反，走这条路的始终是勇于冒险的人，做事的人，成事的人 ，其中有些人很出名，但更常见的是在各自岗位上的男男女女无名英雄，在这条漫长崎区的道路上支撑我们，迈向繁荣与自由。
For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life. 为了我们，他们携带很少的家当，远渡重洋，追寻新生活。
For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth. 为了我们，他们胼手胝足，在西部安顿下来；忍受风吹雨打，筚路蓝缕。
For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh. 为了我们，他们奋斗不懈，在康科特和盖茨堡，诺曼地和溪山等地葬身。
Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction. 前人不断的奋斗与牺牲，直到双手皮开肉绽，我们才能享有比较好的生活。
他们将美国视为大于所有个人企图心总和的整体，超越出身、财富 或小圈圈的差异。
This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America. 这是我们今天继续前进的旅程。
我们仍旧是全球最繁荣强盛的国家。
这场危机爆发时，我们的劳工生产力并未减弱。
我们的心智一样创新，我 们的产品和劳务和上周或上个月或去年相比，一样是必需品。
我们的能力并未减损。
但是我们墨守成规、维护狭小利益、推迟引人不悦的决定 ，这段时期肯定已经过去。
从今天起，我们必须重新出发、再次展开再造美国的工程。
For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do. 我们无论朝何处望去，都有工作必须完成。
经济情势需要大胆、迅速的行动，我们将有所行动，不光是创造新工作，更要奠定成长的新基础。
我们将造桥铺路，为企业兴建电力网格与数位线路，将我们联系在一起。
我们将让科学回归合适的用途，运用科技的奇迹来提高医疗品质并降 低费用。
我们将利用太阳能、风力和土壤作为汽车的燃料和工厂的能源。
我们将让中小学及大专院校转型，因应新时代的需要。
这些我们可以 作到。
我们也将会作到。

奥巴马演讲稿
Hello, Chicago.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.美国是一个一切皆有可能的地方，如果还有人对这一点心存怀疑，如果还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们时代是否还有活力，还有人怀疑我们民主制度的力量，那么，你们今晚正是对那些疑问作出了回答。
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.在学校和教堂周围所出现的前所未有的长队是答案，这个国家从未见过这么多的人前来投票，人们排三个、四个小时的队来进行有生以来的第一次投票，因为他们相信这一次将会不同，他们发出的声音可能就是那个差别。
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.这是一个年轻人和年老人、富人和穷人、民主党人和共和党人、黑人、白人、西班牙裔人、亚裔、印第安人、同性恋和异性恋、残障人士和健全人士所作出的回答。
美国人向世界发出一个信息：我们从不只是一些个人的累加或者“红色州”和“蓝色州”的累加。
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我们是，我们永远是美利坚合众国。
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.这是一个引导人们的答案，太多的人在很长的时间内给他们说这个答案，以至于他们对此持愤世疾俗的态度，对我们是否可以再一次把握历史的希望感到担心和怀疑。
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.已经过去了很长时间，但是今晚，由于我们今天在这场选举所采取的行动，在这个决定性的时候，变革来到了美国。
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.今晚早些时候，我接到来自参议员麦凯恩的一个特别有风度的电话。
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.麦凯恩在这场选战中进行了长期和艰苦的努力，他为这个他所爱的国家战斗了更长的时间，作出了更艰苦的努力。
他为美国承受了我们中的大多数人无法想像的牺牲。
由于这位勇敢和无私领导人的服务，我们的生活变得更好。
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.我向他表示祝贺，我向佩林州长表示祝贺，向他们所取得的成果表示祝贺，我盼望与他们共事以继续这个国家在未来岁月的承诺。
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.我想感谢我在竞选旅程的伙伴，一位用心竞选的男士，一位为和他一起在斯克兰顿街头一同长大的男人和女子代言、经常坐火车回特拉华州的男士，美国当选副总统拜登。
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.如果没有我过去16年最好的朋友、我们家庭的中坚、我生命中的挚爱，我今天晚上不可能站在这里，美国下一位第一夫人米歇尔-奥巴马。
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.萨沙和马莉娅，我爱你们，我对你们的爱超出了你们的想象。
你们已赢得了新的宠物狗，它将和我们一起前往新的白宫。
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.尽管她没能和我们在一起，但我知道，我的祖母和养大我的家人在看着我，我今晚很想念他们，我知道我欠他们的东西是无法计量的。
我的妹妹马娅、我的姐姐奥玛，我其他的兄弟和姐妹，非常感谢你们对我的支持，我感谢他们。
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.我的妹妹马娅、我的姐姐奥玛，我其他的兄弟和姐妹，非常感谢你们对我的支持，我感谢他们。
