A More Perfect Union

Remarks of Senator Barack Obama

Philadelphia, 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 slaves

from 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 same

direction - 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 slaves

and 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。

Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the

contrary, we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity. Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens, we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country. In South Carolina, where the Confederate Flag still flies, we built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans.

在这场竞选的第一年里,我们意识到美国人民有多渴望团结一致的讯息,而不是相反。尽管存在透过纯粹种族主义的有色眼镜来看待我的竞选的陷阱,我们在国家那些白种人占主导的一些州却赢得了显著的胜利。在联邦星条旗(confederate flags)仍高高飘扬的南卡,我们筑就了非裔美国人和美国白人间的强有力的联盟。

This is not to say that race has not been an issue in the campaign. At various stages in the campaign, some commentators have deemed me either "too black" or "not black enough." We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before the South Carolina primary. The press has scoured every exit poll for the latest evidence of racial polarization, not just in terms of white and black, but black and brown as well.

这并不意味着种族在竞选中不是一个问题。在竞选的许多层面上,一些评论家不是认为我“太黑”就是认为我“不够黑”。在南卡,初选前的几周里我们看到种

族内在的张力问题渐渐浮现。媒体四处搜寻每一场投票结果以作为种族对立的最新证据,这一对立不仅是在白人与黑人之间,也在黑人与拉丁族裔之间。

And yet, it has only been in the last couple of weeks that the discussion of race in this campaign has taken a particularly divisive turn.

然而,也就是在最近两周里,大选中关于种族的讨论发生了明显的分裂性的转变。

On one end of the spectrum, we've heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it's based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap. On the other end, we've heard my former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation; that rightly offend white and black alike.

在这光谱的一端,我们听到这样的暗示,即我的参选在某种程度上是平权计划的一种实践,是那些眼界开阔的自由主义者寻求廉价的种族和解的意愿的结果。在光谱的另一端,我们听到了我以前的牧师,可敬的杰里梅尔〃怀特的煽风点火的言论。他的言论不仅会加深种族分裂,也有损我们国家的伟大与善良;他的言论不仅冒犯了白人,也得罪了黑人。对于黑人和白人同样是冒犯。

I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of

Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.

我旗臶鲜明地谴责赖特神父的极具争议性的言论。对一些人而言,纠缠不清的问题仍然存在。我是否知道他对美国的内政外交政策的猛烈抨击?当然知道。当我坐在教堂里,我是否听到他的足以引发争议的言论?当然听过。我是否坚决反对他的许多政治观点?肯定反对。——就像你们中的许多人曾经从你们的牧师、神父或拉比那里听到你强烈反对的观点一样。

But the remarks that have caused this recent firestorm weren't simply controversial. They weren't simply a religious leader's effort to speak out against perceived injustice. Instead, they expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country - a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam.

但那些最近引起轩然大波的言论不止于让人匪夷所思,它们不只是一位宗教领袖试图挺身而出反对他觉察到的不公正。相反,它们反映了一种对这个国家的极度扭曲的看法——它将白人的种族歧视主义视为天经地义,将美国的弊病夸张到掩盖我们所知道的一切关于美国的美好,它将中东的冲突完全解释为我们坚定的盟国以色列的行为所致,而非源自激进的伊斯兰原教旨主义固执而充斥着仇恨的意识形态。

As such, Reverend Wright's comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity; racially charged at a time when we need to come together to solve a set of monumental problems - two wars, a terrorist threat, a falling economy, a chronic health care crisis and potentially devastating climate change; problems that are neither black or white or Latino or Asian, but rather problems that confront us all.

这样看来,赖特神父的言论不仅错误而且极具分裂性,它在我们需要团结时分裂我们,在我们急需携手共进解决诸如两场战争、恐怖主义威胁、经济衰退、日渐恶化的医疗危机和潜在的灾难性的环境变化这一系列重大问题时制造种族纠葛;而这些问题不是黑人的、或白人的、或拉丁族裔或亚裔某个族群的问题,而是我们所有人都正面临的难题。

Given my background, my politics, and my professed values and ideals, there will no doubt be those for whom my statements of condemnation

are not enough. Why associate myself with Reverend Wright in the first place, they may ask? Why not join another church? And I confess that if all that I knew of Reverend Wright were the snippets of those sermons that have run in an endless loop on the television and You Tube, or if Trinity United Church of Christ conformed to the caricatures being peddled by some commentators, there is no doubt that I would react in much the same way

若从我的出身、我的政治立场、我信奉的价值和理想来考虑,毫无疑问,对那些我的支持者来说,我的谴责还远远不够。他们或许会问,为什么一开始我就和怀特神父走到了一起?我为什么不加入另一个教堂?如果我承认我所知道的怀特神父不过是电视节目或You Tube上不断播放的冗长说教中的一则新闻,或者,假如基督教三一联合教堂与一些评论家四处散播的拙劣讽刺一样,毫无疑问我也会有这样的反应。

But the truth is, that isn't all that I know of the man. The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith, a man who spoke to me about our obligations to love one another; to care for the sick and lift up the poor. He is a man who served his country as a U.S. Marine; who has studied and lectured at some of the finest universities and seminaries in the country, and who for over thirty years led a church that serves the community by doing God's work here on Earth - by housing the homeless, ministering to the needy,

providing day care services and scholarships and prison ministries, and reaching out to those suffering from HIV/AIDS.

但事实恰恰是,那不是我所认识的那个人。二十多年前我遇到怀特神父时他引荐我加入基督教,他对我说人们有相互友爱和照顾病弱、扶助贫贱的责任。他作为一名美国海军陆战队成员为国家服役,他在国家最好的大学和神学院里作研究和上课,他三十多年如一日主持一个教堂,为社会做着高尚的工作——收留无家可归者,照顾穷困潦倒者,提供日托服务、奖学金和监狱服务,并向艾滋病患者伸出援手。

In my first book, Dreams From My Father, I described the experience of my first service at Trinity:

在我的第一本书《父亲的梦想》中,我描述了我在三一教堂第一年做义工的经历:

"People began to shout, to rise from their seats and clap and cry out, a forceful wind carrying the reverend's voice up into the rafters....And in that single note - hope! - I heard something else; at the foot of that cross, inside the thousands of churches across the city, I imagined the stories of ordinary black people merging with the stories of David and Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh, the Christians in the lion's den, Ezekiel's field of dry bones. Those stories - of survival, and freedom, and hope - became our story, my story; the blood that had spilled was our blood, the tears our

tears; until this black church, on this bright day, seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world. Our trials and triumphs became at once unique and universal, black and more than black; in chronicling our journey, the stories and songs gave us a means to reclaim memories that we didn't need to feel shame about...memories that all people might study and cherish - and with which we could start to rebuild."

“一阵大风将神父的声音传递到教堂的每个角落,人们开始呼喊,从他们的座位上站起来、鼓着掌、喊叫着,…并且只有一个简单的讯息——希望!——我还听到了其他东西;在那个角落里,在这个城市成千上万的教堂里,我想象普通黑人融入大卫和巨人歌利亚(圣经中被牧羊人大卫杀死的Philistine腓力斯巨人)、摩西和法老、狮子洞穴里的基督徒、伊齐基尔原野的枯骨的故事。那些有关生存、自由和希望的故事,变成了我们自己的故事,我的故事;流淌的血液是我们的血液,眼泪是我们的眼泪;在这个阳光明媚的日子,这个黑人聚集的教堂,再一次作为桥梁将一个民族的故事汇入未来的世代和更大的世界。我们的苦难和成功立刻变得独特而又普遍,是黑人的而又超越这个族群;在记录我们的历程中,那些故事和歌谣提供给我们不断回忆过往而不必羞耻的方法,…有了那些所有民族都该学习和珍惜的记忆,我们就能开始复兴我们的民族。”

That has been my experience at Trinity. Like other predominantly black churches across the country, Trinity embodies the black community in its entirety - the doctor and the welfare mom, the model student and the

former gang-banger. Like other black churches, Trinity's services are full of raucous laughter and sometimes bawdy humor. They are full of dancing, clapping, screaming and shouting that may seem jarring to the untrained ear. The church contains in full the kindness and cruelty, the fierce intelligence and the shocking ignorance, the struggles and successes, the love and yes, the bitterness and bias that make up the black experience in America.

这便是我在三一教堂的经历。同那些全国有重要影响力的黑人聚集的教堂一样,三一教堂使黑人社区——医生和领取救济的母亲、模范生和黑社会成员,连接成一个整体。跟其他黑人教堂一样,三一教堂的布道仪式总是充满沙哑的笑声,有时还夹杂色情幽默。他们总是在跳舞、鼓掌、尖叫和大喊,似乎会吓到那些不曾见识过的人。它容纳了善意和残忍、绝顶聪明和盲目无知、尚在困境中挣扎的和已经功成名就的、爱和肯定、苦难和偏见这些美国黑人所经历的一切。

And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions - the good and the bad - of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.

这或许有助于解释我和赖特神父的关联。尽管他可能不尽善尽美,但他如同我的亲人。他增强了我的信仰,见证了我的婚礼,并给我的孩子施洗礼。在我同他谈话时,我不止一次听到他用贬损的语言谈及那些种族团体,或是对那些与他交往的白人毕恭毕敬。他内心也满是对他长久以来孜孜不倦献身其中的共同体的或善意或恶意的矛盾。

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

我不能否认他,如同我不能否认黑人共同体。我不能否认他,如同而不能否认我的白人祖母。她养育了我,为了我一次次做出牺牲,爱我就像她爱这世界上其他的东西一样,但她也曾坦言害怕街上那些从她身边经过的黑人,还不止一次讲出让我畏惧的有关种族的陈词滥调。

These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.

这些人是我的一部分,他们是美国的一部分,而这就是我所热爱的国家。

Some will see this as an attempt to justify or excuse comments that are simply inexcusable. I can assure you it is not. I suppose the politically safe thing would be to move on from this episode and just hope that it fades into the woodwork. We can dismiss Reverend Wright as a crank or a demagogue, just as some have dismissed Geraldine Ferraro, in the aftermath of her recent statements, as harboring some deep-seated racial bias.

有人会认为这是我为那些不能被饶恕的言论作开脱的努力。我向你保证这不是开脱责任。如果图政治上的安全,我会忘却这一插曲继续向前走,并希望这些言论会自生自灭。我们也可以把怀特神父看做疯子或蛊惑人心的政客对他不屑一顾,就像有些人在杰拉尔婷〃费拉罗因最近的言语包含深深的种族歧视而对她不屑一顾一样。

But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America - to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality. 但种族是这个国家不容再忽视的问题。我们如果对此不屑一顾就会犯怀特神父同样的错误,那就是在他关于美利坚的布道中以简单化的、颇具成见的方式放大美国的负面,结果造成对现实的扭曲。

The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through - a part of our union that we have yet to perfect. And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American.

人们做出的这些评论和最近几周日渐显现的问题都反映了这个国家的种族问题的复杂性。我们不能完好地解决种族问题也意味着我们联邦的尚未完善。如果我们对之视而不见,仅仅撤退到自己的一隅安分守己,我们将不可能团结起来并解决类似医疗、教育或为每个美国人提供好工作的需求的难题。

Understanding this reality requires a reminder of how we arrived at this point. As William Faulkner once wrote, "The past isn't dead and buried. In fact, it isn't even past." We do not need to recite here the history of racial injustice in this country. But we do need to remind ourselves that so many of the disparities that exist in the African-American community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.

要理解这一问题,我们需要知道我们是怎样走过来的。威廉〃福克纳曾说过:“过往并非僵死而被掩埋掉。事实上,它从来不曾过去。”在此我们无需重提这个国家的种族不平等的历史。但我们确实需要铭记于心,那些至今仍存在于非裔族群的诸多的不平等,都能直接追溯到那些由我们的前辈传递下来的不平等,他们在奴隶制和黑奴时代的残酷制度下备受折磨。

Segregated schools were, and are, inferior schools; we still haven't fixed them, fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, and the inferior education they provided, then and now, helps explain the pervasive achievement gap between today's black and white students.

种族隔离学校曾经是,现在仍是劣等学校;在布朗诉教育委员会案五十年之后,我们还没有改进它们;从那时起至今,它们提供的低劣教育有助于解释今天黑人和白人学生之间普遍深入的成就差距。

Legalized discrimination - where blacks were prevented, often through violence, from owning property, or loans were not granted to African-American business owners, or black homeowners could not access FHA mortgages, or blacks were excluded from unions, or the police force, or fire departments - meant that black families could not amass any meaningful wealth to bequeath to future generations. That history helps explain the wealth and income gap between black and

white, and the concentrated pockets of poverty that persists in so many of today's urban and rural communities.

黑人被歧视是受法律保障的,而这种歧视有时甚至是考暴力维护的。黑人常常被禁止拥有财产,黑人企业往往得不到贷款的贷款,黑人业主不能获得联邦住房委员会的抵押贷,黑人常常被禁止参加工会或在警察署或消防署任职。这一切意味着黑人家庭不可能积攒大量财富留给他们的后代。这段历史有助于解释黑人和白人之间的财富和收入差距,至今还有众多居住在城市和乡村的黑人紧衣缩食,入不敷出。

A lack of economic opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration that came from not being able to provide for one's family, contributed to the erosion of black families - a problem that welfare policies for many years may have worsened. And the lack of basic services in so many urban black neighborhoods - parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement - all helped create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt us.

黑人经济机会的匮乏和因无力负担家庭责任而带来的羞愧和挫败感,都使黑人家庭的生活处在风雨飘摇中,——这一问题可能因多年来的福利政策而更加恶化。在众多城市黑人社区缺乏基本的服务设施,比如供孩子玩耍的公园、巡逻警、日常的垃圾车和小区保安等,都导致了长久困扰我们的暴力—衰落—漠视周而复始

的发生。

This is the reality in which Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up. They came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted. What's remarkable is not how many failed in the face of discrimination, but rather how many men and women overcame the odds; how many were able to make a way out of no way for those like me who would come after them.

这便是怀特神父和他那个时代的其他非裔美国人的成长环境。他们在20世纪50年代后期和60年代早期长大成人,那时种族隔离仍是这个国家的法律,生存机会被合法压缩。引人注目的不是他们中间有多少人因种族歧视落荒而逃,而是他们中间有很多男男女女能够跨越藩篱,绝处逢生,创造出奇迹。

But for all those who scratched and clawed their way to get a piece of the American Dream, there were many who didn't make it - those who were ultimately defeated, in one way or another, by discrimination. That legacy of defeat was passed on to future generations - those young men and increasingly young women who we see standing on street corners or languishing in our prisons, without hope or prospects for the future. Even for those blacks who did make it, questions of race, and racism, continue to define their worldview in fundamental ways. For the

men and women of Reverend Wright's generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years. That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table. At times, that anger is exploited by politicians, to gin up votes along racial lines, or to make up for a politician's own failings.

然而对所有艰难地迈向他们自己的美国梦的人而言,很多人没有成功,他们因这样或那样的原因而被种族歧视彻底打垮。这一挫败的经历又传给了他们的下一代,这些年轻男孩和正日渐增多的年轻女孩终日混迹街头,或在铁窗里受尽煎熬,没有希望和前途。即使是那些黑人中的成功人士,种族和种族歧视的问题仍然以致命的方式持续限制着他们的世界观。就怀特神父同时代成长起来的黑人男女而言,羞辱、质疑和恐惧的记忆尚为时不远;那些岁月里他们的愤怒和痛苦也同样恍然如昨。他们的愤怒也许并未在公共场合、在白人同事或朋友面前显露。但它多在在理发店或餐桌上得到释放。这种愤怒也时常为政治家们所利用,蛊惑选民结成种族阵线,或用以弥补政治家自身的败绩。

And occasionally it finds voice in the church on Sunday morning, in the pulpit and in the pews. The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright's sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning. That anger is not always productive; indeed, all too

美国的变革时代已到来:奥巴马胜选演讲全文 国际在线11月5日电/11月4日晚,奥巴马在芝加哥发表激情演讲,称如果现在仍然有人怀疑在美国是不是真的任何事情都可能发生,怀疑我们开国之父们的梦想是否还留存在这片土地上,怀疑美国民主的力量,今夜,就是你的答案。以下是中文翻译稿全文 芝加哥的公民们,大家好! 如果现在仍然有人怀疑在美国是不是真的任何事情都可能发生,怀疑我们开国之父们的梦想是否还留存在这片土地上,怀疑美国民主的力量,今夜,就是你的答案。 在这个国家的学校和教堂中人们曾焦急地等待着答案,一些人甚至从未像今天一样——等待了3~4个小时,但是他们知道这一时刻非同一般,他们的声音也同样非同一般。 在美国的土地上,无论是年轻人还是老人;穷人还是富人;无论是共和党人还是民主党人;无论是黑人、白人、西班牙裔、亚裔、美国原住民、同性恋、异性恋、残疾人还是非残疾人都发出同一种信息,我并非孤身一人。我们是,而且永远都是美利坚合众国!这一天我们等得太久了,但是今晚,因为我们在这场竞选中、在这个地点、在此时此刻所做的一切,改变已经降临美国。 在今天晚上,我很荣幸地接到了麦凯恩参议员打来的电话。麦凯恩参议员在这场竞选中进行了长久、艰难的努力。而且,为这个他热爱的国家,他奋斗了更久、付出了更多的努力。他为美国做出了超乎我们大多数人想象的牺牲,因为这个无畏无私的领导人所付出的努力,我们才有了更好的生活。我对他表示祝贺,也对佩林州长所取得的成果表示祝贺。同时,我也期待着能在接下来的几个月内,和他们共同努力履行对这个国家的诺言。 我想感谢我在这个旅程中的搭档,一个全心全意参加竞选的男人,一个为同他一起在斯克蓝顿(宾夕法尼亚东北部城市)街道长大、一起坐火车到特拉华州的人们发言的男人,美国未来的副总统,乔·拜登。 在过去的16年里如果没有朋友们的支持和鼓励,那么我今晚将不会站在这里……我的家庭的支持、关爱,美国的下一位第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马,还有萨沙和玛丽雅,我对你们的爱甚至超出你们的想象,你们将得到新的爸爸,和你们一起到新的白宫。 我却再也不能陪伴我的外祖母了,但我知道她一直在守望着我们。我也十分想念我的家人和亲戚,我知道自己亏欠他们太多,太多。我要感谢马娅,阿尔玛,以及我所有的兄弟姐妹,感谢你们对我无私的支持,对此我深表感激。还有,感谢我的竞选经理大卫·普劳夫。还有那些在竞选活动中的无名英雄们,他们表现的很棒,是他们给美国带来了一场最完美的大选,我想,这在美国历史上是绝无仅有的。还有我的首席战略师大卫·阿克塞尔罗德。他是我的伙伴,在我竞选的每个阶段都给我极大的帮助,为我打造了美国大选史上最棒的竞选团队。是你让这一切发生了,我将永远对你为这一切做出的牺牲心存感激。但是最重要的,我将永远无法忘记这场胜利真正的主人,这属于你们,这属于你们。

2013年奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文版本)

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,

This award is a reward for imagination. Imagination is a capability that should have exclusive belonged to God but we, as human beings, luckily have this too. It is far beyond our imagination to grasp the meaning of the existence of imagination. A historian used to say that the main reason why human beings have been able to surpass other species on earth and to build civilizations is that we are able to create something in our heads that does not exist in reality. In the future, when artificial intelligence becomes smarter than us, imagination may be the only advantage we have over AI. Science fiction is a literary genre based on imagination.

经典演讲稿:奥巴马上海演讲中文版 【奥巴马上海演讲中文版】 你好。诸位下午好。我感到很荣幸能够有机会到上海跟你们交谈,我要感谢复旦大学的杨校长,感谢他的款待和热情的欢迎。 我还想感谢我们出色的大使洪博培,他是我们两国间深厚的纽带。 我不知道他刚才说什么,但是希望他说得很好。 我今天准备这样,先做一个开场白,我真正希望做的是回答在座的问题,不但回答在座的学生问题,同时还可以从网上得到一 些问题,由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提问。很抱歉,我的 中文远不如你们的英文,所以我期待和你们的对话。这是我首次访 问中国,我看到你们博大的国家,感到很兴奋。在上海这里,我们 看到了瞩目的增长,高耸的塔楼,繁忙的街道,还有企业家的精神。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象,让我感到赞叹。同时我也急切的

要看到向我们展现中国古老的古迹,明天和后天我要到北京去看雄伟壮丽的故宫和令人叹为观止的长城,这个国度既有丰富的历史,又有对未来憧憬的信念。 而我们两国的关系也是如此,上海在美中关系的历史中是个具有意义的重大城市,在30年前,《上海公报》打开了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新的篇章。 不过美国与这个国家的纽带可以追溯更久远的过去,追溯到美国独立的初期,乔治-华盛顿组织了皇后号的下水仪式,这个船成功前往大清王朝,华盛顿希望看到这艘船前往各地,与中国结成新的纽带。希望中国开辟新的地平线,建立新的伙伴关系。在其后的两个世纪中,历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展,而即使在最动荡的方向中,我们的两国人民打造深的,甚至有戏剧性的纽带,比如美国人永远不会忘记,在二战期间,美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后,当地人民对他们的款待,中国公民冒着失去一切的危险罩着他们。

美国总统奥巴马胜选演讲稿(中英文)

美国总统奥巴马胜选演讲稿(中英文) 超过10万人4日深夜把美国芝加哥格兰特公园变成狂欢的海洋。当选总统贝拉克奥巴马在这里向支持者宣布:“变革已降临美国。”他在这篇获胜演说中承诺推进“变革”,但呼吁支持者付出耐心,甚至提及连任。 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,还有人怀疑美国是一切皆有可能的国度,还有人怀疑国父们的梦想在我们的时代是否还存在,还有人怀疑我们的民主所拥有的力量,那么今晚,你听到了回答。 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. 是那些今天在学校和教堂排着长队、数不胜数的选民做出了回答;是那些为了投票等待了三四个小时的人们做出了回答。他们中的很多人,是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们相信,这次真的不同――他们的声音会让这次不同。

奥巴马就职演讲稿(中英文)

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.

奥巴马胜选演讲全文

奥巴马胜选演讲全文:为了永远的美国梦 汇通网11月8日讯(美国总统奥巴马于美国当地时间11月6日深夜确认当选后,在芝加哥竞选总部发表了热情洋溢的胜选演讲,演讲全文如下:) 200多年前,美国建国先祖带领人民脱离了奴役,获得了主宰自己命运的自由。如今200年过去了,美国人民仍在为建设一个更美好的合众国而努力着。 而美国在过去200多年间取得的进步和成就,离不开每个人的努力。在建国精神的鼓舞下,美国战胜了历次战争以及萧条的考验,这一精神也使得美国每每在陷入最绝望的谷底时,都能伸开双臂去迎接更多的希望。而每个人都有着追求个人幸福权利的这一信念,也就是所谓的“美国梦”,把所有的美国人团结在了一起,大家风雨同舟,兴衰相依,荣辱与共。 在今天的选举中,美国人民再度用实际行动阐述了一大至理:即使道路暂时坎坷,即使处境仍将艰难,美国人民却不会放弃心中的信念。大家正鼓足勇气,坚持到底,为了迎接美国更好的明天的奋斗不息。 因而,在此要特别感谢所有参与了这场选举的美国民众,尤其是首次参加投票的年轻人,和在寒风中排队数小时,只为投下自己庄重一票的选民。无论选民是把选票投给奥巴马还是罗姆尼,都是发出了自己的一份声音,并参与了改变这个国家未来的进程。 本人刚刚与罗姆尼先生通了电话,并对他和竞选搭档瑞安先生在艰苦的选战中所付出的一切致以了崇高的敬意,并对其虽败犹荣的杰出表现表示由衷的赞赏。尽管选举的过程很激烈,甚至可以说是火星四溅,但大家都是出于对这个国家无比深情的爱才会选择这么去做。罗姆尼家族数代人致力于政治事业,为美国公众谋福利,这正是当下大家最值得景仰和赞赏的一种精神,为此,我打算在未来数周中安排下时间,与罗姆尼先生促膝长谈,以共商如何齐心协力带领美国继续前进这一大计。 我也感谢在过去四年辛苦奉献的搭档拜登先生,他或许是美国有史以来最好的副总统。

This is a transcript of his prepared speech. In his speech Tuesday, President Obama said America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace. 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. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.

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

奥巴马上海演讲稿中文版-演讲致辞模板

奥巴马上海演讲稿中文版 上提出的一些问题,这些问题由在座的一些学生和洪博培大使代为提出。很抱歉,我的中文不如你们的英文,但我期待着这个和你们对话的机会。 这是我首次访问中国,看到你们壮丽的国家,我感到很兴奋。在上海,我们看到了全球瞩目的发展——高耸的大厦、繁忙的街道、创业的动态。这些都是中国步入21世纪的迹象,让我感到赞叹。同时,我也期盼看到向我们展现中国悠久历史的古迹。明天和后天我会在北京,希望有机会看到壮观的故宫和奇迹般的长城。的确,这是一个既有丰富的历史,又对未来的希望充满信心的国家。 我们两国的关系也是如此。毫无疑问,上海在美中关系史上是一个具有重大意义的城市。正是在这里,37年前发布的《上海公报》(shanghai munique)开启了我们两国政府和两国人民接触交往的新篇章。然而,美国与这个城市以及这个国家的纽带可以追溯到更久远的过去,直至美国独立初期。 1784年,我们的建国之父乔治?华盛顿主持了“中国女皇号”(empress of china)的下水仪式。这条船前往中国海岸,寻求与清朝通商。华盛顿希望看到这条悬挂美国国旗的船前往世界各地,与像中国这样的国家缔结新的纽带。这是通常的美国人的愿望——希望达到新的地平线,建立新的、互利的伙伴关系。 在此后的两个世纪中,历史洪流使我们两国关系向许多不同的方向发展,但即使在动荡的岁月中,两国人民也抓住机会发展了深入的、甚至极不平凡的关系。例如,美国人民永远不会忘记,二战期间,美国飞行员在中国上空被击落后,中国公民冒着失去一切的危险护理他们。 参加过二战的中国老兵仍然热情欢迎故地重游的美国老兵,他们曾经在那里作战,帮助中国从占领下获得解放。 近40年前,简单的乒乓球比赛带来了两国关系的解冻,使我们两国建立起另一种。这种接触令人意外,但却恰恰促成了其成功,因为尽管我们之间存在许多分歧,但是我们共同的人性和共同的好奇心得以从中显现。正如一位美国乒乓球队员在回忆对中国的访问时所说:“那里的人民和我们一样??这个国家和美国有许多相似之处,也有很大区别。” 无须赘言,这个小小的契机带来了《上海公报》的问世,并最终促使美中两国在1979年建立正式外交关系。请看在此后的30年,我们取得了多么长足的进展。

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. 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. 迄今已经有44名美国人宣誓就任总统。这些誓词曾出现在繁荣的上升趋势和如水般平静的和平中,当然,也经常会出现在乌云密布和狂风暴雨之时。在这各种时刻,美国一直在继续前行,这不仅仅是因为执政的技巧或者有先见之明,而是因为我们的人民一直在坚守先辈们的理想,忠实履行我们的建国宣言。过去是这样,这一代的美国人仍将会坚持这样做。 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. 众所周知,我们目前正处在危机之中。我们的国家正在对暴力和仇恨宣战。我们的经济也被严重削弱,这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果,但在做出艰难选择和准备迎接新时代方面,我们出现了集体性的失误。房屋失去了;工作丢掉了;商业萧条了;我们的卫生保健耗资巨大;我们太多的学校不合格;每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大,并且威胁到了我们整个星球。
