奥巴马:
Hello, Chicago.
您好，芝加哥。
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.如果还有人仍在怀疑美国是不是一个一切皆有可能的国度的话，如果还有人仍在疑虑我们的美国的缔造者的梦想是否还存在于我们这个时代的话，如果还有人仍在质疑我们民主的力量的话，今晚你就可以得到答案。
====开篇重申“美国梦”的存在===
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.这个答案可以从悬挂在学校和教堂的数量空前的竞选条幅上得到;这个答案可以从等待了三四个小时，有很多还是有生以来第一次经历来投票的人们身上得到，因为他们坚信这一时刻注定与众不同，而他们的声音可以成就这种改变。
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.这个答案可以从不论青年还是老年，穷人还是富人，民主党还是共和党，黑人还是白人，拉丁裔、亚裔还是美国本土人，同性恋者还是异性恋者，残疾人还是非残疾人身上得到——他们向世界发出了这样的信息——
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我们从来不分红色之州和蓝色之州，我们永远都是统一的美利坚合众国。
====此处”United”一语双关，即可以拉拢没有投票给他的共和党人，也可以劝解投票给他的人要与政见不同者和睦相处——因为“大家都是美国人”。====
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.这个答案告诉了那些一直以来充满焦虑、恐惧和怀疑的人们，我们可以将双手放在历史之轮上，将它再次转向充满希望的美好明天。
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.这一刻我们已经等待了太久，但是今晚，由于我们在这一决定性的时刻所作出的选择，美国迎来了它崭新的一刻。
====点明“改变”主题====
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.今天傍晚稍早些的时候，我接到麦凯恩参议员一个特别亲切的电话。
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. 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.他在这场漫长而艰难的选举中一直努力着，而他为他所热爱的国家所付出的努力甚至更加艰辛而长久。可能我们当中的很多人甚至都无法想象麦凯恩议员从何时便开始为我们的国家奉献自己，而我们却早已享受到了这位勇敢无私的领导者为国家所做出的贡献。我祝贺他和佩琳州长取得的成就。
同时我也期待着能够和他们一同努力，共同延续这个国家对她的人民许下的承诺。
====赞扬对手，进一步安慰“敌人”====
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，他始终遵循着自己内心深处的声音，他始终代表着那些和他一起在斯克兰顿街边长大，一起坐着火车回到故乡特拉华州的人们，新当选的美国副总统乔·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.如果没有过去这16年来一位挚友的支持，没有稳定的家庭，没有我一生的挚爱，没有我们国家的下一位第一夫人，米歇尔·奥巴马，今晚我将不可能站在这里。
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.马莉娅和萨莎，你们很难想象我有多爱你们。现在你们可以带着宠物狗一起来到新的白宫了。
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.还有，虽然我的外祖母已永远离开了我们，但我知道她也正和所有成就我、支持我的家人们一样在看着我。我今晚非常想念他们，而且知道我欠他们的已经太多.
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.我的妹妹玛雅，我的妹妹玛雅和阿尔玛，我的所有其他的兄弟姐妹们，感谢你们给了我这么多的一切支持，我感谢他们.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.还有我的竞选顾问大卫-Plouffe，此次竞选的无名英雄，我认为，是他打造了美利坚合众国历史上最好的-最好的_运动。
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.感谢我的首席策略师大卫 阿克塞尔罗德，陪伴我走过向前迈进的每一步。
To 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.
感谢历史上最好的竞选团队，是你们让今天成为可能，我会永远感激你们为了成就今天所做出的努力和牺牲。
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.但最重要的是，我永远不会忘记这场胜利的真正所有者，胜利属于你们，胜利属于你们。
====感谢支持者，让支持者认为“票有所值”。====
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. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give and and to the cause.我从来不是最有可能当选的候选人。刚开始我们没有多少钱，也没有多少人支持或者为我们背书。我们的竞选团队不是在华盛顿的华美的宾馆大厅里组建的。它是在得梅因的后院，康科德的起居室里和查尔斯顿的门廊下组建的。这是那些从自己的微薄的积蓄中慷慨地捐出5美元，10美元和20美元的人缔造的事业。
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.这是由离开家从事更艰苦、收益更少的工作，摒弃了这一代人常有的冷漠的年轻人缔造的事业。
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and 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 the Earth.这是由那些不再年轻却用于在寒风酷暑中敲开完全是陌生人的家门的人们缔造的事业。上百万美国人志愿组织了这件伟大的事业，证明了即使是在两个世纪以后，一个民有、民治、民享的政府仍将永世长存。
====引用林肯著名的葛底斯堡演说，强调这次胜利的意义。====
This is your victory.这是你们的胜利。
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.我知道你们并没有仅仅为了赢得一场选举而这样做。我也知道你们不是为了我而这样做。
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even 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.你们这样做，是因为你们明白摆在面前的任务有多么的艰巨。即使我们今晚可以庆祝，我们仍要知道明天要面对的将是我们有生之年最艰难的挑战——两场战争，陷入危险的地球，一个世纪以来最严重的金融危机。
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.即使我们今晚站在这里，我们知道有很多勇敢的美国人在伊拉克的沙漠和阿富汗的山区为我们冒着生命危险。
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.我们知道有很多父母会在孩子们睡着以后仍然在为支付房租、医疗账单或孩子的学费发愁。
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.我们知道要开发新能源，提供更多的就业机会，建设新的的学校，面对新的的威胁，修复更多的伙伴关系。
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.未来的路还很长，而且我们正在艰难地攀登在陡峭的山坡之上。我们未必能够在一年或是在一个总统任期之内达到目标，但美国肯定可以。我从来没有像今晚这样自信：我们肯定可以达到目标。
I promise you, we as a people will get there.我向你们承诺，我们肯定可以作为一个民族达成我们的目标。
====重申即将面临的困难和挑战，并承诺共渡难关，加油打气====
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 the government can't solve every problem.这一过程肯定还会出现挫折，甚至是不成功的开始。我作为总统所做出的决策，肯定也会有许多人并不赞同。我们也知道政府并不能解决所有问题。
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 to 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, calloused hand by calloused hand.但我也会向你们诚恳地交待我们所面临的挑战。我会认真听从你们的建议，尤其是意见不一致的时候。总之，我邀请你们加入到国家再建的工作之中。 221年来，我们的国家就是这样一砖一瓦，一点一滴地建造起来的。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.我们既然开始于21个月前深冬，我们就不会在今年的这个秋天的夜晚结束。
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.我们所追求的改变并不仅仅是这次的胜利。这仅仅是我们开始改变的机会。而如果我们回到以前的老样子的话，改变就永远不会发生。
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.没有你，没有一种新的服务精神，新的牺牲精神，改变是不会发生的。
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.因此，让我们拿出新的爱国精神和责任感，让我们每个人都全身心投入，更加努力的工作，不仅要关心自己，还要互相关照。
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.让我们记住，如果能从这个金融危机里吸取什么教训的话，那就是我们不能只有一个蓬勃发展的华尔街而美国的主干道却每况愈下。
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.我们作为一个民族与美国共兴衰。让我们抵制诱惑，不要回到长久以来毒害我们的政治的党同伐异与不成熟的行为中去。
Let's 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 and individual liberty and national unity.让我们铭记，是这个州的人将共和党的旗帜扛进了白宫，这是一个将价值观建立在自信、个人自由以及国家团结基础上的政党。
Those are values that 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.我们所有人都信奉这一价值。虽然民主党今晚获得了巨大的胜利，但我们未来将用谦卑和决心来弥补竞选过程中产生的裂痕。
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.正如林肯所说，我们不是敌人，而是朋友。我们决不能成为敌人，尽管目前的情绪有些紧张，但决不能容许它使我们之间的亲密情感纽带破裂。
And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.对于那些支持我的美国人，以及那些没有将选票投给我的人，我听到了你们的声音，我需要得到你们的帮助，而我也同样是你们的总统。
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 the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.还有对于所有在海外关注我们的人们，从身处广厦王宫，到偏远山区的人们，我们的故事虽然各不相同，但是我们的命运是息息相关的。新的美国就要来临。
To those -- to those who would tear the 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.告诉那些企图破坏这个世界的人：我们将打败你。告诉那些追求和平和稳定的人：我们支持你。对于所有那些疑惑美国的灯塔是否还会继续明亮地燃烧的人，今夜我们将再次证明，我们国家的力量并不是来源来我们的军队的强大，也不是来源于我们财富的丰裕，而是源自于我们理念的持久力量。这些理念包括：民主、自由、机会以及坚贞不屈的希望。
That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.这才是真正的美国：美国会发生变化。我们的联盟可以更加完善。我们的成就让我们有希望打造更美好的明天。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's 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.这次选举有许多第一次，许多故事会代代相传。但是，我脑海里的故事却属于一个在亚特兰大投票的女人。她和其他排队等候投票的人没什么不同——只有一点：安 尼克松 库伯今年已经106岁了。
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.她出生的时候，奴隶制刚刚废除不久;当时在道路上没有汽车，在天空中没有飞机;当时像她一样的人们由于两点原因不能参加投票：她的性别和她的肤色。
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.而今晚，当我想到她在这一个世纪里见到的美国——那些心痛，那些希望;那些拼搏，那些进步;那些我们被告知“不能”的年代，和那些坚守着美国梦的人们：是的，我们能做到。
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.当时妇女的声音被压制，她们的希望被忽视，她看到她们站起来，为投票权而奔走。是的，我们能做到。
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, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.当世界陷入恐慌和绝望中时，她看到了一个国家战胜了自己的恐惧，创造了新的机遇，新的工作，新的共同目标。是的，我们能做到。
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.当炸弹落在我们的港口里，当暴政威胁世界，她在那里目睹了一代人走向伟大，民主得以保存。是的，我们能做到。
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. A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.人类登上了月球，柏林墙倒塌，她看到了一个由科学和幻想连接的世界。
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.今年，在这次选举中，她用自己的手指触摸投票站的屏幕，投出了自己的一票。因为106年后，在美国的美好和困难的经历让她知道怎样可以改变美国。
Yes we can. 是的，我们能做到.
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?美国，我们已经来到了今天。我们已经看到这么多。但我们还有这么多事情要做。因此，今夜，让我们反问一下我们自己，如果我们的孩子能够活到下个世纪;如果我的女儿能够幸运地活得像安-尼克森-库珀那样长，他们将会看到什么样的变化?我们那时将会取得什么样的进步?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.这是我们来回答问题的机会，这是我们的时刻。
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 doubts 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.这是我们的时代，要使我们的人民重新工作并将机会留给我们的子孙;重新恢复繁荣并促进和平;回归我们的美国梦想并重申一个基本事实--在众人之中，我们也是其中一个;当我们呼吸，当我们充满希望的时候，我们遭遇冷嘲热讽和质疑，那些人认为我们无法做到。我们将用一句话来做出回应：不，我们可以!
Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.谢谢大家。上帝保佑你们。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
