It's the answer that – that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful about 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. 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.
对于那些长期以来被灌输不信,恐惧和怀疑我们到底能做出什么的人们来说,今晚(的一切)也是一个回答。我们可以掌控历史前行的弧线,并把这一弧线弯曲,令它重新朝着更好的未来延伸。已经等了好久,但今晚,由于我们今天在这选举时刻,在这重新定义一切的时分所做出的一切,变革已经莅临美国。
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain. Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him, I congratulate Governor Palin for all they’ve achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
今晚稍早些时候,我接到麦坎恩参议员打来的电话,麦坎恩参议员十分有君子风度。他为此次竞选,做出了艰辛而长久的付出。不过,他对自己热爱的这个国家,则付出了更多艰辛与岁月。他为美国做出了多少牺牲,我们多数人甚至难以想象。而现在,我们则因为这位勇敢而无私的领袖所做的奉献,正过着幸福的日子。我向他和佩林州长所赢得的一切表示祝贺。并且,我期待在未来数月后,与他们一道,为重新振兴国家而工作。
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.
我要感谢这次竞选行程中我的搭档,他为竞选尽心尽力,为那些和他一起在斯克兰顿街头上长大的男人女人们发声,为跟他一起搭乘火车,回特拉华老家的男男女女们发声。他就是,美国当选副总统,乔·拜登。
And 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, the love of my life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama.
今晚,我能站在这里,是因为我拥有着过去16年来我更好的朋友,我们家的基石,我生命中的挚爱,我们国家的下一位第一夫人,米雪·奥巴马的始终不渝的支持。
Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.
莎莎,还有玛丽亚,我爱着你们两个,爱得超出了你们的想象。你们已经赢得了一个新的宠物,它要随我们一起搬进白宫啦。
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, I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
还有一位,她已经不再与我们在一起了,我知道,姥姥在高天上正望着我,她跟所有培养我成为今天这样的亲人们一起,在望着我。今晚,我想念他们,我内心知道,我对他们永远感激不尽。
To my sister Maya, my sister Auma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
我还要感谢我的妹妹玛亚,另个妹妹奥玛,以及我所有其他的兄弟姐妹们。感谢你们给予我的全部支持。我对他们怀着感念之情。
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign who built the best – the best political campaign I think in the history of the United States of America;to my chief strategist David Axelrod, who has been a partner with me every step of the way, to 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.
我要感谢我的竞选经理D·普劳夫,他是这次竞选活动中的无名英雄,但正是他完成了更好的,我想,是完成了美国历史上更好的政治选举活动。我还要感谢首席策略专家D·艾克斯罗德,他在我一路竞选活动中,一直不弃不离陪伴着我。我还要感谢我这个更好的竞选团队。这个团队是政治历史上更好的团队了。是你们使得这一切成为事实,我对你们为赢得这一切所付出的牺牲,永远心存感激。
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
但除了上述这些,我永远不会忘记的是,这场胜利真正该属于谁,这胜利属于你们,这胜利属于你们。
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
我一直不是更有希望进入白宫的候选人。开始时,我们没有太多的资金,或者,也没有很多重要人物支持我们。我们的竞选活动,并不是在华盛顿的豪华大厅里策划出来的,而是始于小城市得梅因的后院里,始于康科德和查尔斯顿这些小地方的起居室里,前门走廊上。
