Obama：
奥巴马：
Hello, Chicago.
芝加哥，我来了！
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.
如果还有人对美国是否凡事都有可能存疑，还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活
，还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量，那么今晚，这些问题都有了答案。
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 first
time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案；是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答
案。其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票，因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样，认为自己的声音会是这次
大选有别于以往之所在。
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.
这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案－－无论老少贫富，无论是民主党还是共和党，无论是黑人、白人、拉
美裔、亚裔、原住民，是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人－－我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州
”的对立阵营。
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
我们是美利坚合众国这个整体，永远都是。
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.
长久以来，很多人一再受到告诫，要对我们所能取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能事，但这个答案让
这些人伸出手来把握历史，再次让它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。
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.
已经过去了这么长时间，但今晚，由于我们在今天、在这场大选中、在这个具有决定性的时刻所做的，美
国已经迎来了变革。
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.
我刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。
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.
他在这场大选中经过了长时间的努力奋斗，而他为自己所深爱的这个国家奋斗的时间更长、过程更艰辛。
他为美国做出了我们大多数人难以想像的牺牲，我们的生活也因这位勇敢无私的领袖所做出的贡献而变得
更美好。
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. 我向他和佩林州长所取得的成绩表示祝贺，我也期待着与他们一起在未来的岁月中为复兴这个国家的希望
而共同努力。
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.
我要感谢我在这次旅程中的伙伴－－已当选美国副总统的拜登。他全心参与竞选活动，为普通民众代言，
他们是他在斯克兰顿从小到大的伙伴，也是在他回特拉华的火车上遇到的男男女女。
