奥巴马胜利演说Obama Victory Speech Hello, Chicago 芝加哥的市民，大家好！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. 如果有人还在怀疑美国是否还是一片充满希望的土地，还在追问我们国家奠基者的梦想是否仍然生生不息，还在质疑民主的力量，那么，今晚你们将得到答案。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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. 是那些连续三到四个小时，在学校、教堂史无前例地排起长队的人们所给出的答案。他们当中大多数是平生第一次参与投票。因为他们坚信这次与以往不同，认为自己的呼声使这次大选卓然不同。 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 a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America. 是那些年轻人和老年人，富有者和贫穷者，民主党人和共和党人，黑人，白人，拉美裔，亚裔，美国印第安人，同性恋，异性恋，残疾人和健全人，所给出的答案——所有的美国人向世界发出一个讯息，那就是：我们从来不是“红州”或“蓝州”，我们是，而且永远是美利坚合众国。 Its 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. 长久以来，许多人不断地警告，使得人们对我们的未来充满讽刺、恐惧和疑虑。但今晚的答案将使那些心怀讽刺、恐惧和疑虑的人伸出手触碰历史的轨迹，并把它指向充满希望的明天。 Its 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. 忆往昔峥嵘岁月稠。但是今晚，因为我们在今天、在这次大选中、在这关键的时刻所做的决定，美国已经迎来了变革。 A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.
