奥巴马《yes we can》演讲稿中英对照 奥巴马演讲稿中英对照 2021年11月6日,第一位非洲裔的美国总统诞生,他就是毕业于哈佛大学法学院的奥巴马。 41岁的奥巴马有雄辩之才、文雅之风,其竞选成功当晚的演讲就是一篇非常优秀的演讲范文。可惜网上乱传的许多译文质量差强人意,本人特此翻译一遍,润色一回,以飧各位。 胡子 谨记 2021年11月6日 星期四 YES WE CAN 《我们一定能》 Remarks of President-Elect Barack Obama, as prepared for delivery 总统侯选人巴拉克•奥巴马的竞选成功后的演讲稿,为竞选成功而作 Election Night 竞选之夜 Tuesday, November 4th, 2021 2021年11月4日,星期二 Chicago, Illinois 伊利诺斯,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. 是否还有人仍然怀疑美国是可以创造任何可能性的国家;是否还有人仍然对我们这个时代能缔造梦想感到困惑;是否还有人仍在质疑我们民主党的执政能力,答案就在今夜。 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 very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference. 这个答案正以前所未见的那些延伸至学校和教堂的横幅昭示着;人们等待了三到四个小时,也看到平生第一次的那个时刻来到,人民相信这是如此不同的时刻;他们的呼声也因此前所未有的响亮。 It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, 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. 人们都在谈论这个答案,老少无异,贫富不分,民主斗士和共和大军也都没有什么分别,黑人,白人,拉丁美洲人,亚裔,本土美国人,同性恋者,异性恋者,残疾人士和非残疾人士全都在关心这个答案――美国人民在向世界发出一种信号,我们从不在红色州盟和蓝色州盟之间进行选举:我们是并将永远是美利坚合众国。 It’s 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. 这个答案曾经引起如此长久如此广泛的谈论,曾经带来那么多的愤世嫉俗、担惊受怕和怀疑困惑,那是因为我们渴望能够触摸到历史的苍穹并让希望它尽快转向更加美好的时代。 It’s 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. 长时间的等待已经过去,而在今夜我们已为这次选举做出了抉择,就在这一决定性的时刻,我们也抉择了美国的命运将会被改变。 I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead. 我刚刚收到了麦凯恩参议员礼貌大方的电话祝贺。他在这场战役中进行了艰苦卓绝的战斗,而他已为自己深爱的祖国更加持久更加艰苦地奋斗过。他为美国所做出的牺牲非常人所能想象,让我们祝这位以敬业诠释了勇敢和无私精神的领袖一路走好。我祝贺他和佩琳州长所取得的辉煌成果,并期待着像过去数月所承诺的那样,能与他们一道努力以革新我们的国家。 I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. 我要感谢我的旅途伙伴,他是一个为内心而战斗的人,一个敢于为男人们和女人们讲话的人,一个从斯克兰顿街区中长大的人,一个乘火车回家却跑到达拉华去了人,他就是美国副总统侯选人,乔•拜登。 I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House. And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure. 没有过去十六年来挚友亲朋永不放弃的支持和帮助,今晚我就不能站在这里;今夜我能站在这里,更不能没有稳如磐石的家庭和妻子的爱,我的妻子将成为我们国家下一任的第一夫人,她就是米歇尔•奥巴马。萨莎和玛丽亚,我是如此地爱你们俩,你们已经获得了牵着刚买来的小狗和我们一起入住白宫的权力。祖母虽已不在人世了,但我知道她在注视着这一切,并将同生我养我的家庭一起关注我将成为什么样的人。今夜我想念他们,也深知自己仍无以报答他们的深情厚意。 To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you. 我要对我的竞选负责人大卫•普罗菲说,对我的首席竞选 感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/cbb5325bbeeb19e8b8f67c1cfad6195f302be811.html
