如果这场金融危机的确教会了我们什么的话，那就让我们铭记吧：当华尔街以外的大街都在遭受煎熬时，华尔街是不可能繁荣的。在这个国家里，我们兴盛，国家兴盛，我们跌倒，人人跌倒。
Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity. Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
让我们抵御住诱惑吧，不再党派纷争，不再鸡毛蒜皮，不再幼稚，因为它们长久以来一直毒害着我们的政治环境。让我们记住吧，正是从我们这个州里，走出一个人来（指林肯），是他首先肩扛共和党的旗帜，走进了白宫。这个共和党，是以自强，个人自由以及全民团结为价值基础，而建立起来的。这些价值，我们所有人都十分认同。所以，当今晚民主党赢得了一场伟大的胜利之时，我们尤其带着谦卑与无比的决心，认同这些价值，并力求弥合阻挡我们前行的纷争。
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends -- though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection." And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president too.
正如林肯面对比目前更加分裂的美国时，所说的那样，“我们不是敌人，而是朋友，尽管激情令我们的关系紧张，但绝对不许它将我们彼此的感情纽带撕裂。”对于那些我仍没有赢得支持的美国选民们，我想说，今晚，我尽管没有赢得你们的选票，但我已经听到了你们的声音，我需要你们的帮助，而且，我也将是你们的总统。
And all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those – to those who would tear the world down: we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
此外，对那些关注今晚选举的大洋外的人们，从各国的议会和皇宫里，一直到世界上被遗忘的角落中围聚在电台旁的人们，我要说，我们的故事，各有不同，但我们的命运，却彼此相通。美国领导的新的黎明，已经来临。对那些人，那些要撕裂世界的人，我要说：我们将打败你们。而对那些寻求和平与安全的人们，我则说：我们支持你们。而对于所有还在怀疑美国这盏灯塔是否依然闪耀着如初光芒的人们：今晚我们再次向你们证明了，我们国家的真正力量，并非来自我们军队力量的强大，或我们拥有的巨大财富，而是来自我们持久的诸多理念：民主，自由，机会，以及永不放弃的希望。
That’s the true genius of America, that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
而这就是美国的宝藏，也就是，美国可以变革。我们要使自己更加团结。我们已经赢得的一切，给了我们希望，它令我们明天能够，也必须赢得更多。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She is a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
这次总统选举，产生了很多“第一”，也诞生了很多必将被后人传诵的许多故事。但今晚，我脑海里一直萦绕着的，却是在亚特兰大投票的一个妇人的故事。此次选举中，她跟数百万排队希望自己的声音被听到的投票人，没有什么两样，只有一样与众不同：这位叫安·尼克松·库柏的妇人已经106岁了。
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons, because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin. And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America: the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
她出生时，奴隶制刚刚结束有一代人的时间。那时，路上没有汽车，天上也没有飞机，那时，像她这们的人，因两个原因不能投票，一是因为她是个女性，再就是她的肤色。今晚，我在想，她这一百年里，在美国都看到了什么：她看到的是，心痛与希望，争斗与进步，是我们被告之我们不能，却也看到，有很多人坚信美国信念，继续顶着压力向前：不，我们能。
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
