Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America i s a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if th e dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still question s the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It's the a nswer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches i n numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, b ecause they believed that this time must be different, that thei r voices could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by you ng and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and n ot disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we h ave never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America. I t'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 a chieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. It's been a long time com ing, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this el ection at this defining moment change has come to America. A lit tle bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily grac ious call from Sen. McCain. Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the co untry that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the se rvice rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. A nd I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's pr omise in the months ahead. I want to thank my partner in this jo urney, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the me n 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. And I would not be standing here t onight without the unyielding support of my
best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the n ation's next first lady Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia I love y ou both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new p uppy that's coming with us to the new White House. And while she 's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along wi th the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my sister Maya, my s ister 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. And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of t his campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.
To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner wi th me every step of the way. To the best campaign team ever asse mbled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you. I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or m any endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of W ashington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the livin g rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was b uilt by working men and women who dug into what little savings t hey had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause. It grew strengt h from the young people who rejected the myth of their generatio n's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep. It drew strength from the no t-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 th an two centuries later a government of the people, by the people,
and for the people has not perished from the Earth. This is you r victory. And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you unde rstand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bri ng are the greatest of our lifetime
-- two wars, a planet in per il, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand he re tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the d eserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their li ves for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake aft er the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mort gage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child' s college education.。 There's new energy to harness, new jobs t o be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, allianc es to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be ste ep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, A merica, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there. T here 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. But I will alway s 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 i t's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. Th is victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chanc e for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go ba ck to the way things were. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us su mmon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each o f us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not onl y ourselves but each other. Let us remember that, if this financ
ial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thrivi ng Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we ri se or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the tempta tion to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and imm aturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let's rememb er that it was a man from this state who first carried the banne r of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity. Those are values that we all share. And while the Democr atic Party has won a great victory tonight,
we do so with a meas ure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more div ided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion m ay have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not h ave won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your h elp. And I will be your president, too. And to all those watchin g 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 share d, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. 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 th ose who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our natio n comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealt h, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. That's the true genius of Amer ica: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What w e've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must ach ieve tomorrow. This election had many firsts and many stories th at will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonig ht's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot l ike the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice
heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper i s 106 years old. She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; w hen someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because sh e was a woman and because of the color of her skin. And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in Ame rica -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progres s; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pres sed on with that American creed: Yes we can. At a time when wome n's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes w e can. When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression ac ross the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New D eal, new jobs, a new sense of
common purpose. Yes we can. When t he bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, sh e was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a demo cracy was saved. Yes we can. She was there for the buses in Mont gomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preach er 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 Berl in, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. An d this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a scree n, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, throug
h the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how Amer
ica can change. Yes we can. America, we have come so far. We hav e 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? This is our chance to answer that call. This is ou r moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and o pen doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and r eaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; t
hat while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicis m and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respon d with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can. Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the Uni ted States of America.
您好,芝加哥。如果还有人仍在怀疑美国是否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。如果还有人仍在怀疑美国是否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。它的答案告诉延伸线,围绕学校和教堂的人数这个民族从未见过的, 等待三个小时,四个小时的人们,许多第一次在他们的生活,因为他们认为,这次一定是不同的,他们的声音可能是不同的。
不管你是年轻人还是老年人,是富人还是穷人,是民主党人还是共和党人,是黑人还是白人,也不管你是拉丁美洲人或亚洲人还是本土美国人, 更无论你是否为同性变者、是否是残疾人,这是美国人共同的答案。美国人向全世界传递一个声音,那就是我们的选举从不分红州或蓝州。我们属于,而且永远只属于美利坚合众国。它的答案,导致这些谁一直在说这么长时间这么多的是玩世不恭和恐惧和怀疑是我们能够实现把他们手中的弧的历史和弯曲再次向希望一个更美好的一天。虽然等待了很长时间,但在今晚的这一决定性时刻,由于我们在这次选举中的努力,美国终于迎来了
变革。今天傍晚稍早的时候,我接到麦凯恩参议员一个特别亲切的电话。在竞选过程中,他坚持不懈,努力了很长时间,而且他还会为他所热爱的国家继续更加努力。他已经为美国奉献了太多,以到于我们许多人都无法想象。我们必须要更好地服务于我们的祖国,以补偿这位勇敢而无私的领导人。我祝贺他以及佩林此前取得的所有成绩,而且我希望能够与他们合作,重申数月前我们对国家所做的承诺。我要感谢在这个征途上我的合作伙伴,一名男子从谁竞选他的心,并以对男性和女性,他成长起来的街道上骑着顿和同在火车上家美国特拉华州,副总统当选美国,乔 -拜登。在过去 16年间, 如果没有我最好朋友的坚定支持, 没有我家庭成员的强力支撑, 没有我妻子,也就美国未来的第一夫人米歇尔 -奥巴马无私的爱,今晚我不可能站在这里。马莉娅和萨莎,我也非常爱你们,你们肯定也沉浸在即将入住白宫的喜悦之中。然而,我的外祖母已永远离开了我们,但我知道她也正和所有支持我的家人一样在看着我。我今晚非常想念他们,而且知道我欠他们的太多。我的妹妹玛雅,我的妹妹阿尔玛,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。和我的竞选顾问大卫 -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 -最好的政治运动。我的首席策略师大卫——阿克塞尔罗德,在一个合作伙伴与我的每一步。最好的竞选团队以往任何时候都聚集在历史上的政治你这一点,我永远感谢您什么牺牲得到工作要做。但最重要的是,我永远不会忘记这
场胜利的所有者,胜利属于你们,胜利属于你们。我从来没有对可能的候选人,这个办公室。我们没有开始多少钱或许多签注。我们的运动是不能孵化的大厅华盛顿。它开始在后院得梅因和客
厅的和谐与前面门廊的查尔斯顿。这是由工作男性和女性谁挖成小储蓄, 他们不得不放弃 5美元和 10美元和 20美元的事业。它成长的力量的年轻人谁拒绝他们神话一代人的冷漠谁离开他们的家园和他们的家属就业提供一点工资和少睡觉。它提请强度从不那么谁年轻人冒着严寒和酷暑敲门, 门完美的陌生人,并从数以百万计的美国人谁自愿组织和证明,两个多世纪后,人民的政府由人民,为人民还没有灭亡的地球。这是你们的胜利。我知道你们没有这样做只是为了赢得大选。我知道你们因为多而没有这样做。你这样做,是因为你明白艰巨性的任务摆在面前。即使在我们庆祝的今晚,我们知道,明天的挑战将是最大的我们的有生之年 -两场战争,地球处于危险,最严重的金融危机的一个世纪。即使我们今晚站在这里,我们知道有勇敢的美国人起床在沙漠伊拉克和阿富汗山区冒着生命危险为我们。有父亲和母亲谁将躺在清醒后的孩子入睡和不知道他们会作抵押或支付其医生的法案或储存足够的孩子的大学教育,有新能源可以利用,新的工作岗位要建立,新的学校建设,和威胁去处理,联盟要修理。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。我们肯定可以达到目标,此前我从未有今天晚上的如此信心。我向你们承诺,我们肯定可以。当然,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。我们知道政府并不能解决所有问题。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。我们开始于 21个月前深冬,不会结束在今年的这个秋天的夜晚结束。这仅仅是胜利而不是我们所寻求的变化。这是唯一的机会,我们做出的改变。并能不会发生,如果我们回到这样的。没有你,没有一种新的服务精神,新的牺牲精神,它不能发生。因此,让我们拿出一个新的爱国主义精神,责任感,在我们每个人都决心在
球场和努力,并期待后,不仅自己,而且对方。让我们记住,如果此次金融危机告诉我们什么,那就是我们不可能拥有一个蓬勃发展的华尔街,当主街受到影响时。在这个国家, 我们的兴衰,作为一个民族,作为一个人。让我们抵制诱惑,回到属于同一党派和鸡毛蒜皮的小事和不成熟有毒害我们的政治这么久。让我们铭记, 是这个州的人第一次将共和党的旗帜扛进了白宫, (共和党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。我们所有人都信奉这一价值。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。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。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,我倾听到了你们的声音,我需要得到你们的帮助,而我也同样是你们的总统。和所有观看今晚从超出了我们的海岸,来自议会和宫殿,那些谁是围着收音机中被遗忘的角落的世界,我们的故事是独特的, 但我们的命运是共同的,新的曙光美国领导在手。那些 -那些谁将世界撕裂了:我们将打败你。这些谁寻求和平与安全的: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胳膊的臂力, 也不是来源于我们的财富,
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。这是真正的天才合众国:美国会发生变化。我们的工会可以完善。我们已经取得了让我们希望我们能够而且必须实现的明天。这次选举有许多优势,许多故事,会被告知几代人。但是,这在我脑海今晚的约一个女人谁投她的选票在亚特兰大。她就像数以百万计的其他人谁站在线,使他们的声音在这次选举中除一件事:尼克松安库珀是 106岁。她出生的一代刚刚过去的奴役 ; 当时有没有汽车在道路上或飞机在天空中 ; 当有人能像她一样不参加表决的原因有两个 -因为她是一名女子, 由于她的颜色皮肤。今晚, 我想所有的, 她在整个看到她在美国的世纪 -在心痛和希望 ; 的斗争和取得的 ; 的时候,我们被告知,我们不能,和人民谁压上与美国的信条:是我们能够做到。当时妇女的声音被压制和他们的希望被驳回,她活着看到他们站起来,说出并达成的选票。是我们能够做到。当有绝望中的尘埃和抑郁一碗全国的土地,她看到一个民族征服恐惧本身的新政,新的就业机会,一个新的共同使命感。是
我们能够做到。当炸弹落在我们的港口和暴政威胁世界,她在那里目睹了一代产生的伟大和民主是保存。是我们能够做到。她在那里的巴士蒙哥马利,软管在英国伯明翰,桥梁塞尔玛和传教士从亚特兰大谁告诉人民, “我们克服。”是我们能够做到。一名男子降落在月球上,墙上下来在柏林,世界是连接我们自己的科学和想象力。今年,在这次选举中,她谈到她的手指到屏幕上,她和演员投票, 因为 106年后,在美国,通过最好的时候和最黑暗的时间,她知道怎样可以改变美国。是我们能够做到。美国,我们来到迄今。我们已经看到这么多。但有这么多事情要做。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 -库珀那样长，库珀那样长，他们将会看到什么样的变化？是我们来回答问题的机会，这是我们的时刻。这是我们的时代，步？这是我们来回答问题的机会，这是我们的时刻。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；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回归我们的美国梦想并重申一个基本事实--在众人之中， --在众人之中平；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，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：我们可以！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！谢谢您。上帝保佑你。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。谢谢您。上帝保佑你。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
英文版 MR. OBAMA: Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of H appiness.” Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth. The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a Republic, a government of,
Hello, Chicago. If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is aplace where all things ar e possible, who still wonders if the dreamof our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is youranswer. 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 thi s nation hasnever seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for th e first time in their lives,because they believed that this time must be different, that th eir 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, bl ack, white,Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent amessage to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of redstates 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，并且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 a nd fearful anddoubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of hist ory and bend it once moretoward 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 e lection at thisdefining 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. M cCain. 今晚早些时候，我接到来自参议员麦凯恩的一个极具风度的电话。
奥巴马就职演讲稿原文 [ 2008-11-05 14:37 ] 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.

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。 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 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.

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。 我刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。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。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。 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。 如果没有一个人的坚决支持，我今晚就不会站在这里，她是我过去20xx年来最好的朋友、是我们一家人的中坚和我一生的挚爱，更是我们国家的下一位第一夫人：米歇尔?奥巴马(MichelleObama)。萨莎(Sasha)和玛丽亚(Malia)，我太爱你们两个了，你们已经得到了一条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入驻白宫。虽然我的外祖母已经不在了，但我知道她与我的亲人肯定都在看着我，因为他们，我才能拥有今天的成就。今晚，我想念他们，我知道自己欠他们的无可计量。 我的竞选经理大卫?普劳夫(DavidPlouffe)、首席策略师大卫?艾克斯罗德(DavidAxelrod)以及政治史上最好的竞选团队--是你们成就了今天，我永远感激你们为实现今天的成就所做出的牺

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 forebearers, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. 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 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. 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. 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. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. 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. We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside
美国东部时间1月20日中午12时左右，美国第44任总统贝拉克-奥巴马发表就职演说，全文如下：各位同胞： 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。 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，也忠於创建我国的法统。 因此，美国才能承继下来。因此，这一代美国人也必须承继下去。 现在大家都知道我们正置身危机核心，我国正在与四处蔓延的暴力和憎恨作战。我们的经济元气大伤——这既是某些人贪婪且不负责任的後果，也是大众未能做出艰难的选择，对国家进入新时代做准备不足所致。许多人失去房子，丢了工作，生意萧条。我们的医疗太昂贵，学校教育让人失望。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。 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。 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。 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。
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。 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。 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於冒险的人，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，在这条漫长崎岖的道路上支撑我们，迈向繁荣与自由。 为了我们，他们携带很少的家当，远渡重洋，追寻新生活。 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。 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。 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。他们将美国视为大於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。 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。
January 20,2009 My fellow citizens: 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. 同胞们： 我今天站在这里，因为面前的任务而感到谦卑，因为你们的信任而心存感激，同时铭记先辈们做所出的巨大牺牲。感谢布什总统为这个国家做出的贡献，同时也谢谢他在整个政权交接期间表现出的慷慨与合作。 Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.

Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.

奥巴马获胜演讲全文 President-elect Barack Obama smiles as he gives his acceptance speech at Grant Park in Chicago Tuesday night, Nov. 4, 2008. 以下是奥巴马(Barack Obama)竞选总统成功后在芝加哥演讲准备的讲稿: 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. 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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of 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. It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America. I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead. 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
BW1103 牛西月111006050334 Stylistic Features of Political Speech —taking the case of “Change Has Come to America” English political speech refers to the speech that calls for people what to do and what not to do. Its principal contents concern the methods or means by which something should be done about war and peace, national defense, import and export, legislation, and so on. An English political speech is one that the speaker, usually on behalf of a certain class, society, or party, makes in English to the audience on some important matters and relationships home and abroad. Sometimes the individual also makes such a speech for the purpose of declaring his political propositions or ideas, nowadays this type of public speaking has a wild range of application such as stumping speeches is of strong political tendency with rigid logic and arousing force. The aim of speakers is to influence audience. There are many varieties of it such as inaugural address, speech in the war and speech in the college abroad. Owing to the relationship between politics and presidents’ speech and the culture background it is in, the political speech has formed its own stylistic features. Then I’ll try to analyze the stylistic features of political speech throughout Obama’s inaugural address in 2008: Change Has Come to America. 1.Lexical feature Stylists usually have a criterion to analyze words’ length. That is, more than 6 letters or 3 syllables. If a word contains more than 6 letters or 3 syllables, it is a long word, which origin from some formal words in Latin, French and Greek. The proportion of long words is not more than 20%. Then we can observe that words that president use in his inaugural address is very formal and word structure is very complicated. The total words are 2396, in which long words account for 27%, such as generation, depression and opportunity. In addition, many words is derivatives and compound words, such as productive, inventive, sweatshops, risk-taker, faint-hearted, short-cut.Word is the basic grammatical unite which is smaller than sentence and it is also the basic cell to form a lecture. When Obama referred to 106-year-old woman，Ann Nixon Cooper，he just said she cannot cast a vote because of her complexion. He avoided using the word “black” to be involved in racial discrimination. 2.Syntactical feature In informal speeches, orators usually use short sentences to support their views. However, as for Obama’s formal inaugural address, Obama is inclined to use the long sentences because the length of the sentence is influences by the mode of the discourse and also related to the textual function and interpersonal function of a language. The longest sentence contains 49 words. The sentence structure of political speech is more complicated than that of daily conversation because the common use of long sentences. American presidents give their speech to the people and expect to make their government policies known to the public to persuade them to accept and support their policies. This personal relationship determines that all the presidents’ speech should not be as casual as daily conversation. Meantime, he also uses some short sentences that alternate long sentences. The short sentence is “yes we can!” which received the warmest react.
