前些天，奥巴马胜选演说开始在网上流传，就想起：或可搞个文言版本出来。
不过当时没想自己弄，只去某文言网站留了条言，提了个建议。结果，过了几天去看，发现并没有动静。于是才想，或者可以自己弄弄看？
于是，上周五译了两三段，周末用工作加班、看碟读书之外的时间把剩下的部分也搞出来了。下边就是。
我没什么文言功底，更没拿文言写过东西。来不了古奥的，只会用些浅近的夹生文言，大概意译一下。如果说范本的话，倒是有些地方故意模仿民国时各路军政要人通电、讲演的语气……像不像三分样吧。
本来想，还有一个办法是更加洒狗血一点儿，在文言里加上各路方言土语俏皮话儿歇后语之类。那就是另一个玩儿法了。
译好之后，有点儿没信心，发给某文言小能手看了一下，问这玩意儿可以一贴么？人家鼓励我半天，说已经不错了，贴吧。可是不久，又发来人家自己翻译的几段，一看我就晕了——先秦范儿的……
其实，当年林语堂还曾以夹生北京话翻译《独立宣言》，如今我以半吊子文言翻译奥巴马讲演，算是很对得起他们了。
咳，嘛对得起对不起的！乐呵儿乐呵儿得了——
奥巴马胜选演说·文言版

Hello，Chicago!
芝城父老，别来无恙，
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.
余尝闻世人有疑，不知当今美利坚凡事皆可成就耶？开国先贤之志方岿然于世耶？民主之伟力不减于昔年耶？凡存诸疑者，今夕当可释然。
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.
今夕之释然，皆蒙美利坚民众之协力——学塾祠庙之外，市井乡野之间，万千父老心焦似焚，苦待竟日，愿献一票之力。其中，平生未尝涉国事者，数亦不少，而今有此义举，皆因一念不衰——今夫天下，非同既往，愿发吁天之声，必成动地之势。
It’s 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. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
今夕之释然，皆仰吾国同胞之齐心——何谈贫富老幼之差、党社宗族之异，惶论发肤肌体之别、志趣爱恶之分。吾国既以“合众”为名，吾辈则更无疏离之意，红蓝二党
