75. Obama's Election Triumphant Speech

75. 奧巴馬大選勝選演說

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.

讓我們記住，如采此次金融危機告訴我們什么，我們再也不會讓華爾街繁榮的同時，讓別的街受罪。

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 have poisoned our politics for so long.

在這個國家，我們的興衰，作為一個民族，作為一個人。讓我們抵制誘惑，回到屬于同一黨派，雞毛蒜皮的小事和不成熟已經(jīng)毒害我們的政治如此之久。

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.

讓我們銘記，是這個州的人第一次將共和黨的旗幟扛進了白宮，(共和黨)是一個將價值觀建立在自信、個人自由以及國家團結(jié)基礎上的政黨。

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.

我們所有人都信奉這一價值。民主黨今晚獲得了巨大的勝利，但我們未來將用謙卑和決心來彌補競選過程中產(chǎn)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.

正如林肯所說，我們不是敵人，而是朋友。我們決不能成為敵人，盡管目前的情緒有些緊張，但決不能容許它使我們之間的親密情感紐帶破裂。

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.

對于那些支持我的美國人，以及那些沒有將選票投給我的人，我傾聽到了你們的聲音，我需要得到你們的幫助，而我也同樣是你們的總統(tǒng)。

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.

對于那些在另外一個海岸，從國會到王宮、到在被世界遺忘的角落擺弄收音機、關注美國今夜的人們，我們的故事并非只有一個，但我們的命運是共同的，美國領導人新的曙光即將來臨。

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.

對于那些破壞世界的人，我們將打敗你。對于那些尋求和平與安全的人們：我們支持你。對于所有那些疑惑美國的燈塔是否還會繼續(xù)明亮燃燒的人，今夜我們將再次證明，我們國家的力量并不是來源于我們的胳膊的臂力，也不是來源于我們的財富，而是源自于我們理念的持久力量。這些理念包括：民主、自由、機會以及堅負不屈的希望。

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.

這是美國真正的才能：美國會發(fā)生變化。我們的社會應該更完美。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就給了我們將來能夠而且必須實現(xiàn)的希望。
