但是這不意味著你們的工作就結(jié)束了，我們所有的公民，所有的同胞們，你們不是說投了票就輕松了你們的任務(wù)就沒有了，你們一定要問問自己，不是美國能為你們做什么，而是我能為美國做什么，我們要進(jìn)行自我治理，自我約束，這是我們的原則，也是我們建國的理念。

　　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 can 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.

　　我們這個(gè)國家是世界上最富有的國家，但是這并不是讓我們每個(gè)人更富有，雖然我們的軍隊(duì)十分強(qiáng)大，但是我們的個(gè)人并不強(qiáng)大，我們的大學(xué)、我們的文化，雖然是全球最優(yōu)秀的，但是卻并不是說我們就是全球最優(yōu)秀的。

　　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.

　　是因?yàn)槲覀兪且粋�(gè)多民族的國家，多樣性的國家，但是在這樣多樣性的國家當(dāng)中我們有共同的愿景和共識(shí)，并且我們的子孫后代會(huì)給他們更多的公民和自由，我們的子女后代必將獲得更多的尊嚴(yán)，更多的愛護(hù)和尊敬。而且相信子孫后代只有他們正直，他們愛國，辛勤勞動(dòng)才會(huì)使我們的美國變得更為強(qiáng)大。

　　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 to future generations. The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights. And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That's what makes America great.

　　我今天晚上充滿了希望，因?yàn)槲铱吹轿覀冞@些美國勞動(dòng)人民的精神，還看到了那些商業(yè)人士你們所做的工作，提供了很多工作機(jī)會(huì)，而且我還看到那些失業(yè)的人民得到了幫助，我看到戰(zhàn)士們，他們?cè)俅握鞅�，而且我還看到戰(zhàn)士們他們?nèi)匀皇匦l(wèi)著我們的國家，因?yàn)樗麄円仓�道我們�(cè)谥С种�他們�?/P>

　　I am hopeful tonight because I've seen the 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 reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.

　　我還看到新澤西紐約每個(gè)政黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，都開始拋開他們的旗艦，來探討怎么從桑迪中重建我們的家園。我們還看到俄亥俄州一個(gè)父親說他有一個(gè)八歲的女兒，她的白血病使他的家庭一貧如洗，他們之前并沒有得到醫(yī)療保障的保護(hù)，但是幾個(gè)月之前他開始得到了醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)，這對(duì)他們來講是非常好的消息。

　　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. And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care.

　　我和這位父親，還有他的女兒都見面了，他對(duì)于群眾說，他對(duì)大家說，當(dāng)他說的時(shí)候，在場(chǎng)所有的父母都落淚了，因?yàn)槲覀冎�道，他的女兒也可能是我們的女兒，我們都希望自己的孩子未來充滿光芒，這是每個(gè)父母的希望，這是我身為總統(tǒng)引以為豪的。

　　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's 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.

　　今晚盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的困難，盡管我們經(jīng)歷了這么多的挫折，我對(duì)于未來卻格外充滿希望，我對(duì)于未來格外充滿希望，對(duì)于美國格外充滿希望，我希望大家延續(xù)這種希望，我這里講的并不是盲目的樂觀，指的是我們對(duì)未來的挑戰(zhàn)，忽視未來的挑戰(zhàn)，我也不是說的天真或者理想化的樂觀的情緒，我真正的希望，不管我們遇到多少的挫折，多少的困難，只有我們內(nèi)心堅(jiān)定的希望，才是我們保持不斷努力、不斷斗爭(zhēng)，不斷勇往直前的力量來源。

　　And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been more hopeful about our future. I have 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 roadblocks 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 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.

　　我相信我們能在取得成就的基礎(chǔ)上取得新的機(jī)會(huì)，為美國的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)提供新的希望，我相信我們能夠繼續(xù)延續(xù)我們的建國者的承諾，不管你來自哪里，不管你的膚色是什么，不管你是黑人、白人，亞裔人，任何種族，不管你是同性戀還是非同性戀，不管你是貧困的還是富裕的，你可以在美國做你想做的一切，

　　America, I believe we can build on the progress we've 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 founders, 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 whether 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 here in America if you're willing to try.

　　我們可以共同迎來這樣的未來，因?yàn)槲覀儗?duì)未來是充滿了希望，我們有雄心壯志，我們贏得的不僅僅是這一個(gè)選舉，而且是一個(gè)未來，是美國的未來，我們會(huì)一起贏得這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)役。而且上帝會(huì)引導(dǎo)我們走向這條道路，并且我們相信，我們會(huì)成為世界上最偉大的國家，謝謝你們，上帝保佑美國!

　　I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as the pundits 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.

　　And together 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.
