美国总统奥巴马2009年就职演讲（英汉对照）
Inaugural Address of Barack ObamaJanuary 20,2009My 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.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.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 childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for thefaint-hearted - for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things - some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh.Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act - not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to it s rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions - who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them - that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our idea ls. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for exp edience’s sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort - even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours thatenjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment - a moment that will define a generation - it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends - hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism - these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility - a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task.This is the price and the promise of citizenship.This is the source of our confidence - the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than sixty years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America’s birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:"Let it be told to the future world...that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horiz on and God’s grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.译文：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。

2008年美国大选奥巴马胜选演讲全文(中文英文对照)
2008年美国大选奥巴马胜选演讲全文（中文英文对照演说）08年11.5大选美国总统奥巴马胜选演说《美国的变革》您好，芝加哥。
美国是否暗藏一切皆有可能的巨大潜力？美国是否已经实现开国者锻造的美国梦？民主信仰是否具有强大力量？如果还有人对此报以怀疑，那么今晚这里发生的一切就是答案。
学校旁、教堂边，无数人都在排队投票，这一情景我们已经多年未见；3个小时、4个小时，他们为此而等候良久，这是很多同胞有生以来的第一次。
因为他们相信，这一次，将不同以往；这一次，因为他们的呼声而有所不同。
无论老少贫富，无论共和党抑或民主党，不管是黑皮肤、白种人、拉丁后裔、亚裔子孙还是本土美国人；无论性向如何，不管健康抑或残疾，所有的美国人民都向全世界传递出这样一条信息：我们从来都不是红蓝阵营的政治堆砌，我们是，而且永远是，美利坚合众国。
长期以来，很多人缺乏信心，对自己所能取得的成就畏首畏尾、疑心重重。
如今，我们走在历史的长河里，挺起胸膛，勾勒出美好明天的光辉画卷。
此情此景，等待尤长。
然而，就在今晚，在这个大选的日子，在这个具有历史性意义的时刻，由于你们的付出，美国终于迎来了变革。
刚刚，我接到了麦凯恩参议员礼貌得体的祝贺电话。
为了此次竞选，他奋战良久、竭尽所能；为了他所深爱的美国，他曾作出了更长久、更努力的奉献。
麦凯恩参议员为美国所作出的牺牲是大部分人难以想象的，他这种英勇无私的奉献改善了我们的生活。
对于麦凯恩参议员和佩林州长所取得的成就，我对他们致以祝贺。
在接下来的几个月里，以重振美国为目标，我期待着与他们的合作。
在此，我想感谢一路陪伴我的竞选搭档，他就是我们即将上任的副总统，乔-拜登。
为了让美国广大的工人阶层发出自己的声音，他毫无私心地全身心投入竞选，因为他和那些宾夕法尼亚州斯克兰顿城街头的人们一样，出生平凡，一切白手起家。
如果没有米歇尔-奥巴马，这一准美国第一夫人的坚定支持，今晚，我就不会站在这儿了。
我们相伴走过了16个春秋，她是我们整个家庭的顶梁柱，我一生的挚爱。
奥巴马总统在勃兰登堡门的讲话(中文)
奥巴马总统在勃兰登堡门的讲话〔中英对照演讲稿〕勃兰登堡门巴黎广场德国柏林柏林你好！感谢你，默尔克总理，感谢你的领导、你的友谊和你人生的榜样——从一个东德的孩子成长为自由统一的德国的领袖。
正如我所说，安格拉和我与德国和美国过去的领导人不完全一样。
但我们今天可以站在这里——沿着这条曾经分裂了这座城市的界线，这一事实本身便道出一个永恒的真理：任何墙都无法阻隔人们心中燃烧的对公正的渴望、对自由的渴望以及对和平的渴望。
〔掌声〕沃维莱特市长，尊敬的来宾们，尤其是柏林和德国的人民——感谢你们极其热情的欢送。
事实上，如此之热情让我感觉如此之好，我真的要脱掉我的外套，有谁也想脱掉外套的话，请随意。
〔掌声〕朋友之间可以随意一些。
〔掌声〕正如你们的总理提到的，五年前，我有幸以参议员身份对这座城市发表演讲。
今天，我自豪地以美国总统的身份重返这里。
〔掌声〕我带来了美国人民永久的友谊，也带来了我的妻子米歇尔，还有玛莉娅和萨莎。
〔掌声〕你们可能注意到她们不在场。
她们最不愿做的就是听我发表又一个讲话。
〔笑声〕所以，她们外出体验柏林的美丽和历史去了。
而历史今天在与我们对话。
在这里，数千年来，这片土地上的人们走过了从部落、到公国、到民族国家的历程，经历了宗教改革和启蒙运动，并以“诗人和思想家的国度”著称，其中包括伊曼努尔?康德；他教导我们，自由是“人与生俱来的天赋权利，属于他为人固有的权利。
”两个世纪以来，这座大门一直高高矗立在这里，四周世界风云变化——帝国的兴衰，革命与共和国，人类卓越的艺术、音乐和科学之举，但也有暴露了人类相残之残忍的战争和屠杀。
正是在这里，柏林人面对种种艰难险阻拓出一块民主的飞地。
正如刚刚提到的，柏林人得到了承载着希望的空运支持，而我们很荣幸92岁高龄的哈尔沃森上校今天来到这里——他是当年的“糖果投弹手”。
我们为他感到无尽骄傲。
〔掌声〕我希望我在92岁时也能看上去这么硬朗。
〔笑声。
〕在那段岁月，马歇尔计划播下了奇迹的种子，而北大西洋联盟保护了我们的人民。

Thank you so much. 今晚，是在⼀个殖民地赢得它⾃主权200多年之后，我们来到这⾥，不断前⾏ Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. 这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望，实现移民想的梦想，我们是⼀个⼤家庭，我们共同以⼀个国家，⼀个民族奋⽃。
It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come. 我要感谢每位参加这次选举的⼈，不管你是从第⼀天就投票了，还是⼀直等待了很长的时间才投的票。

”Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.221年前，一群人聚集在至今仍屹立在这条街上的市政厅里，用上述这样简洁的言语，发起了美利坚不可思议的民主实验。
农场主和学者，政治家与爱国者们为逃脱政治专制和宗教迫害，横渡大洋，最终在费城会议上发表了他们的独立宣言。
——这一会议一直延续了1787年的春天。
The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation's original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations.他们讨论出的文件得以签署通过但尚未最终完成。

如果这次金融危机有什么教训的话，那就是实体经济受损，华尔街也不可能繁荣。
在这个国家，我们荣辱与共。
Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.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.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.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.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.让我们一起抵制两党分立所带来的那些长久以来腐蚀我们的政治的幼稚、繁琐、无谓的争端。
奥巴马演讲全文(附带翻译)
奥巴马演讲全文：OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the rightto determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our unionmoves forward.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war anddepression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depthsof despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while eachof us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an Americanfamily and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people.(APPLAUSE)Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded usthat while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long,we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and weknow in our hearts that for the United States of America the bestis yet to come.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: I want to thank every American who participated in thiselection... (APPLAUSE)... whether you voted for the very first time or waited in linefor a very long time. (APPLAUSE)By the way, we have to fix that.(APPLAUSE)Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone...(APPLAUSE)... whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you madeyour voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him andPaul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.(APPLAUSE)We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love thiscountry deeply and we care so strongly about its future. FromGeorge to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen togive back to America through public service and that is the legacythat we honor and applaud tonight.(APPLAUSE)In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down withGovernor Romney to talk about where we can work together to movethis country forward.(APPLAUSE)I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years,America's happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could everhope for, Joe Biden.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the womanwho agreed to marry me 20 years ago.(APPLAUSE)Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more.I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in lovewith you, too, as our nation's first lady.(APPLAUSE)Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're growing up tobecome two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like yourmom.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And I'm so proud of you guys. But I will say that for nowone dog's probably enough.(LAUGHTER)To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history ofpolitics... (APPLAUSE)The best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time around,and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.(APPLAUSE)But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you gofrom here, you will carry the memory of the history we madetogether and you will have the life-long appreciation of a gratefulpresident. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill,through every valley.(APPLAUSE)You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful foreverything that you've done and all the incredible work that youput in.(APPLAUSE)I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, evensilly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tellus that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or thedomain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talkto folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a ropeline in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaignoffice in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discoversomething else.OBAMA: You'll hear the determination in the voice of a youngfield organizer who's working his way through college and wants tomake sure every child has that same opportunity.(APPLAUSE)You'll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who's goingdoor to door because her brother was finally hired when the localauto plant added another shift. (APPLAUSE)You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a militaryspouse whose working the phones late at night to make sure that noone who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or aroof over their head when they come home.(APPLAUSE)That's why we do this. That's what politics can be. That's whyelections matter. It's not small, it's big. It's important.Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy andcomplicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply heldbeliefs.And when we go through tough times, when we make bigdecisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs upcontroversy.That won't change after tonight, and it shouldn't. Thesearguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forgetthat as we speak people in distant nations are risking their livesright now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter,the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.(APPLAUSE)But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopesfor America's future. We want our kids to grow up in a countrywhere they have access to the best schools and the bestteachers.(APPLAUSE)A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader intechnology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs andnew businesses that follow. OBAMA: We want our children to live in an America that isn'tburdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn'tthreatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.(APPLAUSE)We want to pass on a country that's safe and respected andadmired around the world, a nation that is defended by thestrongest military on earth and the best troops this - this worldhas ever known.(APPLAUSE)But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this timeof war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedomand dignity for every human being. We believe in a generousAmerica, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open tothe dreams of an immigrant's daughter who studies in our schoolsand pledges to our flag.(APPLAUSE)To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a lifebeyond the nearest street corner.(APPLAUSE)To the furniture worker's child in North Carolina who wants tobecome a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, adiplomat or even a president - that's the future we hope for.That's the vision we share. That's where we need to go -forward.(APPLAUSE)That's where we need to go.Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to getthere. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come infits and starts. It's not always a straight line. It's not always asmooth path.By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreamswon't end all the gridlock or solve all our problems or substitutefor the painstaking work of building consensus and making thedifficult compromises needed to move this country forward. But thatcommon bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. Adecade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over.(APPLAUSE)And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, Ihave learned from you, and you've made me a better president. Andwith your stories and your struggles, I return to the White Housemore determined and more inspired than ever about the work there isto do and the future that lies ahead.(APPLAUSE)Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.(APPLAUSE)You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in thecoming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out andworking with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we canonly solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code.Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.We've got more work to do.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: But that doesn't mean your work is done. The role ofcitizens in our Democracy does not end with your vote. America'snever been about what can be done for us. It's about what can bedone by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessarywork of self-government. That's the principle we were foundedon. (APPLAUSE)This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's notwhat makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history,but that's not what makes us strong. Our university, our cultureare all the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the worldcoming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold togetherthe most diverse nation on earth.OBAMA: The belief that our destiny is shared; that this countryonly works when we accept certain obligations to one another and tofuture generations. The freedom which so many Americans have foughtfor and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights. Andamong those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That'swhat makes America great.(APPLAUSE)I am hopeful tonight because I've seen the spirit at work inAmerica. I've seen it in the family business whose owners wouldrather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in theworkers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friendlose a job.I've seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limband in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness anddanger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watchingtheir back.(APPLAUSE)I've seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, whereleaders from every party and level of government have swept asidetheir differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage ofa terrible storm.(APPLAUSE)And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a fathertold the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle withleukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been forhealth care reform passing just a few months before the insurancecompany was about to stop paying for her care.(APPLAUSE)I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father, but meetthis incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowdlistening to that father's story, every parent in that room hadtears in their eyes, because we knew that little girl could be ourown. And I know that every American wants her future to be just asbright. That's who we are. That's the country I'm so proud to leadas your president.(APPLAUSE)OBAMA: And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through,despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been morehopeful about our future. (APPLAUSE)I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you tosustain that hope. I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kindof hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or theroadblocks that stand in our path. I'm not talking about thewishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines orshirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing insideus that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, thatsomething better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keepreaching, to keep working, to keep fighting. (APPLAUSE)America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made andcontinue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new securityfor the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of ourfounders, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn'tmatter who you are or where you come from or what you look like orwhere you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white orHispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich orpoor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here inAmerica if you're willing to try.(APPLAUSE)I believe we can seize this future together because we are notas divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as thepundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individualambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states andblue states. We are and forever will be the United States ofAmerica. (APPLAUSE)And together with your help and God's grace we will continue ourjourney forward and remind the world just why it is that we live inthe greatest nation on Earth. Thank you, America. God bless you. God bless these UnitedStates. (APPLAUSE)谢谢，谢谢，非常感谢。

Keynote Address at the2004Democratic National Convention:The Audacity of Hope July27,2004On behalf of the great state of Illinois,crossroads of a nation,land of Lincoln,let me express my deepest gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention.Tonight is a particular honor for me because,let's face it,my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely.My father was a foreign student,born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats,went to school in a tin-roof shack.His father,my grandfather,was a cook,a domestic s ervan t to the British.But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son.Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place:America,that shone as a beacon of fr eedom and opportunity to so many who had come before. While studying here,my father met my mother.She was born in a town on the other side of the world,in Kansas.Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression.The day after Pearl Harbor my grandfather s igned up for duty,joined Patton's army and marched across Europe.Back home,my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line.After the war,they studied on the GI Bill,bought a house through FHA,and later moved west all the way to Hawaii in search of opportunity.And they,too,had big dreams for their daughter,a common dream,born of two continents.My parents shared not only an improbable love;they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation.They would give me an African name,Barack, or"blessed,"believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined me going to the best schools in the land,even though they weren't rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential. They are both passed away now.Yet,I know that,on this night,they look down on me with great pride.They stand here,and I stand here today,grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents'dreams live on in my two precious daughters.I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story,that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me,and that,in no other country on earth,is my story even possible.Tonight,we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation,not because of the height of our skyscrapers,or the power of our military,or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise,summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago,"We hold these truths to be self-evident,that all men are created equal.That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness."That is the true genius of America,a faith in the simple dreams,the insist ence on small miracles.That we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm.That we can say what we think,write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door.That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody's so n.That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution,and that our votes will he counted-or at least,most of the time.This year,in this election,we are called to reaffirm our values and commitments,to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up,to the legacy of our forbearers,and the promise of future generations.And fellow Americans-Democrats,Republicans,Independents-I say to you tonight:we have more work to do.More work to do for the workers I met in Galesburg,Illinois,who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that's moving to Mexico,and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour.More to do for the father I met who was losing his job and choking back tears,wondering how he would pay$4,500a month for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits he counted on.More to do for the young woman in East St.Louis,and thousands more like her,who has the grades,has the drive,has the will,but doesn't have the money togo to college.Don't get me wrong.The people I meet in small towns and big cities,in diners and office parks,they don't expect government to solve all their problems.They know they have to work hard to get ahead and they want to.Go into the collar counties around Chicago,and people will tell you they don't want their tax money wasted by a welfare agency or the Pentagon.Go into any inner city neighborhood,and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach kids to learn.They know that parents have to parent,that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white.No,p eople don't expect government to solve all their problems.But they sense, deep in their bones,that with just a slight change in priorities,we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life,and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all.They know we can do better.And they want that choice.A while back,I met a young man named Shamus at the VFW Hall in East Moline, Illinois.He was a good-looking kid,six-two or six-three,clear-eyed,with an easy smile.He told me he'd joined the Marines and was heading to Iraq the following week. As I listened to him explain why he'd enlisted,his absolute faith in our country and its leaders,his devotion to duty and service,I thought this young man was all any of us might hope for in a child.But then I asked myself:Are we serving Shamus as well as he was serving us?I thought of more than900service men and women,sons and daughters,husbands and wives,friends and neighbors,who won’t be returning to their hometowns.I thought of families I had met who were struggling to get by without a loved one's full income,or whose loved ones had returned with a limb missing or with nerves shattered,but who still lacked long-term health benefits because they were reservists.When we send our young men and women into harm's way,we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone,to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war,secure the peace,and earn the respect of the world.Now let me be clear.We have real enemies in the world.These enemies must be found.They must be pursued and they must be defeated.John Kerry knows this.And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam,President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure.John Kerry believes in America.And he knows it's not enough for just some of us to prosper.For alongside our famous individualism,there's another ingredient in the American saga.A belief that we are connected as one people.If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read,that matters to me,even if it's not my child.If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent,that makes my life poorer,even if it's not my grandmother.If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process,that threatens my civil liberties.It's that fundamental belief-I am my brother's keeper,I am my sister's keeper-that makes this country work.It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams,yet still come together as a single American family."E pluribus unum."Out of many,one.Yet even as we speak,there are those who are preparing to divide us,the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes.Well,I say to them tonight,there's not a liberal America and a conservative America-there's the United States of America.There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America;there's the United States of America.The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States;Red States for Republicans,Blue States for Democrats.But I've got news for them,too.We worship an awesome God in the Blue States,and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States.We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq andpatriots who supported it.We are one people,all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes,all of us defending the United States of America.In the end,that's what this election is about.Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?I'm not talking about blind optimism here-the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don't talk about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it.No,I'm talking about something more substantial.It's the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs;the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores;the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta;the hope of a millworker's son who dares to defy the odds;the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him,too.The audacity of hope!In the end,that is God's greatest gift to us,the bedrock of this nation;the belief in things not seen;the belief that there are better days ahead.I believe we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity.I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless,homes to the homeless,and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair.I believe that as we stand on the crossroads of history,we can make the right choices,and meet the challenges that face us.Thank you very much everybody and God bless you.基调演讲摘自《巴拉克·奥巴马》。
2012年奥巴马胜选演讲全文(中英)
如果不是那位20年前同意嫁给我的女性，我不会成为今天的我。请让我公开说出下面这段话：米切尔，我对你的爱无以复加，我无比骄傲地看到其他美国人也爱上了你这位我们国家的第一夫人。萨沙和玛利亚，在我们所有人的见证下你们正成长为两个坚强、聪明和美丽的年轻女性，就像你们的妈妈一样。我十分以你们为荣。不过我要说的是，眼下家里养一条狗或许已经够了。
我要对罗姆尼州长说几句话，我对他和保罗?莱恩在这次竞争激烈的选举中的表现表示祝贺。我们可能争夺得很激烈，但这仅仅是因为我们深爱着这个国家以及我们如此强烈地关心着它的未来。从乔治到勒诺到他们的儿子米特，罗姆尼家族选择了通过公共服务来回报美国，那是一种我们今夜表示敬重和赞许的遗产。我期待着今后几周能与罗姆尼州长坐下来讨论一下我们可以从何处着手一起努力将美国推向前进。
You'll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who's working his way throughcollege and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. You'll hear the pride in thevoice of a volunteer who's going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the localauto plant added another shift. You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spousewho's working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country everhas to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.

这些为逃避暴虐与压迫而远涉重洋来到北美大陆的农场主、学者、政治家和爱国者终于在1787年春天的费城会议上将独立从宣言变为现实。
这份文件最终签署，但事实上从未完成，它沾上了这个国家奴隶制的原罪。
在那个不得不妥协的（是否保留奴隶制）的问题上各殖民地莫衷一是，将整个会议引入夭折的泥潭。
联邦的创建者们选择将这个问题留给后人来解决，一个至少允许奴隶制存在20年的妥协不想一直延续了220多年。
从一开始，奴隶制问题的答案就已深埋于宪法之中了――我们宪法的核心就是法律之下的平等理想，它保证其人民自由、公正，以及能够并且应该随着时间而不断趋向完善的联邦。
但是，羊皮纸上的词句却不曾让奴隶们挣脱束缚，完整地赋予各种肤色、各种信仰的人们作为合众国公民的权利和义务。
还需要一代接一代的仁人志士用大街小巷的奔走抗议、用法庭上的据理力争，甚至诉诸于战争与对抗，冒着巨大的风险――去缩小承诺与现实的差距。
从一开始我们就将建国先父们的美好愿望融入到了这次竞选之中――继续前人的长征，继续这个旨在建立更加公正、平等、自由、博爱、繁荣美利坚的长征。
我选择在这样的历史时刻竞选总统，因为我坚信，除非我们能将这个时代的问题一起解决，除非我们能完善这个联邦，否则美国将寸步难行。
必须认识到：生活的故事可能不尽相同，但是希望只有一个；来自五湖四海、有着不同的相貌与肤色的我们都朝着同一个方向，那就是子孙们更好的未来。

A More Perfect UnionRemarks of Senator Barack ObamaPhiladelphia, PA | March 18, 2008为了更完美的联邦巴拉克·奥巴马2008年3月18日在美国宾夕法尼亚州费城的演讲海星译"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union."“我们[美利坚合众国的]人民，为缔造一个更完美的联邦。
”Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.221年前，一群人聚集在至今仍屹立在这条街上的市政厅里，用上述这样简洁的言语，发起了美利坚不可思议的民主实验。
农场主和学者，政治家与爱国者们为逃脱政治专制和宗教迫害，横渡大洋，最终在费城会议上发表了他们的独立宣言。
——这一会议一直延续了1787年的春天。
The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation's original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations.他们讨论出的文件得以签署通过但尚未最终完成。
它因这个国家的奴隶制原罪而劣迹斑斑，这一问题分裂着殖民地的定居者们，使得费城会议陷入僵局，最后建国者们决定同意奴隶贸易再继续开展至少二十年，而将这一问题留待子孙后代去解决。
Of course, the answer to the slavery question was already embedded within our Constitution - a Constitution that had at its very core the ideal of equal citizenship under the law; a Constitution that promised its people liberty, and justice, and a union that could be and should be perfected over time.当然，对奴隶制问题的解决在我们的宪法中已经生根发芽，法律之下平等的公民权理念是这部宪法的核心；它向人民许诺自由、公平和一个随着时间推移能够且应当被不断完善的联邦。
And yet words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slavesfrom bondage, or provide men and women of every color and creed their full rights and obligations as citizens of the United States. What would be needed were Americans in successive generations who were willing to do their part - through protests and struggle, on the streets and in the courts, through a civil war and civil disobedience and always at great risk - to narrow that gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time.但写就在羊皮纸上的宣言尚不足以使奴隶摆脱奴役，或向不同肤色和信仰不同宗教的人们提供他们作为美国公民理应享有的充分的权利和义务。
这就需要那些愿意履行其职责的后来者去缩小我们的理想承诺与人们所处时代的社会现实间的差距，——他们得经过街头抗议和法庭抗争，经过内战和和平违法，这其间总是险象环生。
This was one of the tasks we set forth at the beginning of this campaign - to continue the long march of those who came before us, a march for a more just, more equal, more free, more caring and more prosperous America. I chose to run for the presidency at this moment in history because I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together - unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes; that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the samedirection - towards a better future for our children and our grandchildren.继续前人长久以来的、为建立一个更公正、公平、自由、更负责任且更繁荣的美国的努力，这是我们在这场总统竞选一开始就定下的任务之一。
我之所以决定在这一历史关头竞选总统，是因为我坚信我们只有联合起来，才能应对我们这个时代的挑战，才能为我们的子孙后代创设一个更好的明天——只有相互理解，懂得我们也许有不同的故事，但拥有共同的愿望；懂得也许我们肤色不同，来自不同地方，但我们想要同一个梦想，才能使我们的国家更完善。
This belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people. But it also comes from my own American story.这一信念来自于我对正派而慷慨的美国人民坚定不移的信心。
同时它也源自我自己的美国故事。
I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton's Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. I've gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world's poorest nations. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slavesand slaveowners - an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.我是一个肯尼亚黑人和堪萨斯白种女人的儿子，在我的白人祖父母的照料下长大成人。
祖父历经大萧条，二战期间服役于巴顿的部队；当祖父开赴海外战场时，祖母在莱文沃斯堡的轰炸机流水线上作业养家糊口。
我在美国那些最好的学校里读过书，也在世界上最贫穷的国家里生活过。
我娶的是一位黑人妇女，她的血管里流淌着奴隶和奴隶主的血液，——而这一血统又遗传给了我们的两个宝贝女儿。
我的不同种族和肤色的兄弟姐妹、叔伯侄甥们生活在三个大洲，而且只要我还活着，便会永远铭记在这世上其他任何一个国家里我这样的经历都不会发生。
It's a story that hasn't made me the most conventional candidate. But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts - that out of many, we are truly one.这样的经历不会将我塑造成最保守的候选人，但它使我骨子里因一种信念而警醒：这个国家高于它的各部分的加总，高于多数群体，我们本身就是一个整体。
