Barack-Obama-Presidential-Victory-Speech

（注：紅字為當(dāng)年流行的古文神翻譯！）

Hello，Chicago!

芝城父老，別來無恙

IfthereisanyoneouttherewhostilldoubtsthatAmericaisaplacewhereallthingsarepossible,whostillwondersifthedreamofourfoundersisaliveinourtime,whostillquestionsthepowerofourdemocracy,tonightisyouranswer.

余嘗聞世人有疑，不知當(dāng)今美利堅凡事皆可成就耶？開國先賢之志方巋然于世耶？民主之偉力不減于昔年耶？凡存諸疑者，今夕當(dāng)可釋然。

It’stheanswertoldbylinesthatstretchedaroundschoolsandchurchesinnumbersthisnationhasneverseen,bypeoplewhowaitedthreehoursandfourhours,manyforthefirsttimeintheirlives,becausetheybelievedthatthistimemustbedifferent,thattheirvoicescouldbethatdifference.

今夕之釋然，皆蒙美利堅民眾之協(xié)力——學(xué)塾祠廟之外，市井鄉(xiāng)野之間，萬千父老心焦似焚，苦待竟日，愿獻(xiàn)一票之力。其中，平生未嘗涉國事者，數(shù)亦不少，而今有此義舉，皆因一念不衰——今夫天下，非同既往，愿發(fā)吁天之聲，必成動地之勢。

It’stheanswerspokenbyyoungandold,richandpoor,DemocratandRepublican,black,white,Hispanic,Asian,NativeAmerican,gay,straight,disabledandnotdisabled.Americanswhosentamessagetotheworldthatwehaveneverbeenjustacollectionofindividualsoracollectionofredstatesandbluestates.Weare,andalwayswillbe,theUnitedStatesofAmerica.

今夕之釋然，皆仰吾國同胞之齊心——何談貧富老幼之差、黨社宗族之異，惶論發(fā)膚肌體之別、志趣愛惡之分。吾國既以“合眾”為名，吾輩則更無疏離之意，紅藍(lán)二黨并肩而立，數(shù)十邦州挽手相合，無分你我，共稱一家，昂然于世，齊聲一呼，天下乃有此釋然。

It’stheanswerthatledthosewho’vebeentoldforsolongbysomanytobecynicalandfearfulanddoubtfulaboutwhatwecanachievetoputtheirhandsonthearcofhistoryandbenditoncemoretowardthehopeofabetterday.

今夕之釋然，皆因憤懣者之鎮(zhèn)靜，憂懼者之勇氣，猶疑者之篤定——平素世間種種，消磨其志向，潰滅其夢想，而值此風(fēng)云之際，除舊更新，當(dāng)仁不讓，傾力而動乾坤者，更何人哉！

大家知道，我們是在七月的一個陽光燦爛的早上，從帕特和麗茲·莫伊尼漢夫婦位于頻德角的美麗農(nóng)場開始邁出了這艱難的一步，然后輾轉(zhuǎn)六十二個縣，歷經(jīng)過十六個月、三場辯論，打敗了兩個競爭對手，穿破六套黑色便服。如今，在你們的支持下，我們終于勝利了。你們說，各項議題和觀念非常重要--全州的就業(yè)問題是重要的，醫(yī)療保健是重要的，教育是重要的，環(huán)境是重要的，社會保險是重要的，還有婦女選擇權(quán)是重要的。這些全都重要，而我只想衷心道一聲：謝謝你，紐約！感謝你們開放思想，不存成見，感謝你們相信我們攜手為子孫后代、為我州，以至全國的未來而共同努力的美好前景。我對你們每個人都深懷謝意，感謝你們給了我一個為大家服務(wù)的機(jī)會。

…

能生活在我國多元文化最豐富多彩、最生氣勃勃、最美麗的一個州，我們是多么的幸運(yùn)。大家知道，從南布朗克斯到紐約最南端，從布魯克林到布法羅，從蒙特哥到馬塞納，從世界上最高的摩天大樓到令人嘆為觀止的綿延山脈，我認(rèn)識了不少人，我永遠(yuǎn)也不會忘記他們的容貌和故事。紐約六十二個縣成千上萬的紐約人把我迎進(jìn)了你們的學(xué)校、你們的風(fēng)味小餐館、你們的車間、你們的起居室和前廊。你們教導(dǎo)著我，你們考驗著我，你們把面臨的難題和關(guān)心的問題告訴我--擁擠的校園和破舊的校舍，養(yǎng)育孩子和贍養(yǎng)年邁雙親的艱辛，尋求人人同等待遇的挑戰(zhàn)，還有在紐約州北部地區(qū)因為就業(yè)機(jī)會難尋，孩子們都離開故鄉(xiāng)、移往他處的問題。長期以來，我一直在為這些問題奔忙，有些問題甚至我已經(jīng)為之奮斗了30年之久，我決心讓這

些問題得到改觀。 大家知道，我們國家有義務(wù)讓每個有責(zé)任感的公民和家庭的生活更上一層樓。這是最起碼的，作為一名參議員，我將盡自己最大的努力來實現(xiàn)它。對于那些在過去沒有支持我的人們，我想告訴你們，我將在參議院為你們、為全體紐約人而工作。對于那些勤奮工作、甚至在最艱難的時期也不放棄信念的人們，我永遠(yuǎn)

感謝你們。
