歐巴馬勝選演說（中英對照） ? 2008/11/06 Hello, Chicago. 哈囉，芝加哥！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.如果外頭還有人懷疑，美國是否真的是任何事都可能發生的地方，懷疑我們開國先賢的夢想今天是否依然存在，懷疑我們民主的力量；今夜，就是你們要的答案。Its 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.這是個用這個國家僅見，環繞學校、教堂的無數人龍，所說的答案。這些人，苦等三、四個小時，許多還是生平頭一次，因為他們相信，這次一定要不一樣，他們的聲音就是明證。Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.這是個由不分老少、貧富、民主黨、共和黨；黑人、白人、拉丁裔、亞裔、美洲原住民；同性戀、異性戀人；肢障與四體健全者，大家共同訴說的答案。美國民眾向全世界發出訊息，我們絕非一盤散沙，也不是由紅州、藍州拼湊而成的集合體。We are, and always will be, the United States of America.我們現在是，未來也永遠是，美利堅合眾國。感謝你們的支持Its the answer that led those whove been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.這個是引領國人把手放在歷史拱弧，再度讓它指向明天會更美好希望的答案。長久以來，這些國人一直被許多人灌輸，要嘲諷、害怕和懷疑我們自身的能力。Its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.這個答案遲遲未出現，但是今晚，由於我們在這個投票日關鍵時刻的所作所為，改變終於降臨美國。A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.今晚稍早，我接到馬侃參議員打來，態度非常懇切的電話。Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And hes fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. H
