奧巴馬競(jìng)選演講稿3篇
奧巴馬于2008年正式成為美國(guó)歷史上第一位黑人美國(guó)總統(tǒng),他的就職演講曾打動(dòng)過(guò)無(wú)數(shù)人,以下是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編分享給大家的關(guān)于奧巴馬競(jìng)選演講稿,給大家作為參考,希望能給大家?guī)?lái)幫助!
奧巴馬競(jìng)選演講稿篇1:
Hello, Chicago!
芝加哥,你好!
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.
如果有人懷疑美國(guó)是個(gè)一切皆有可能的地方,懷疑美國(guó)奠基者的夢(mèng)想在我們這個(gè)時(shí)代依然燃燒,懷疑我們民主的力量,那么今晚這些疑問(wèn)都有了答案。
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.
學(xué)校和教堂門外的長(zhǎng)龍便是答案。排隊(duì)的人數(shù)之多,在美國(guó)歷史上前所未有。為了投票,他們排隊(duì)長(zhǎng)達(dá)三、四個(gè)小時(shí)。許多人一生中第一次投票,因?yàn)樗麄冋J(rèn)為這一次大選結(jié)果必須不同以往,而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負(fù)。
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.
無(wú)論年齡,無(wú)論貧富,無(wú)論民主黨人或共和黨人,無(wú)論黑人、白人,無(wú)論拉美裔、亞裔、印地安人, 無(wú)論同性戀、異性戀,無(wú)論殘障人、健全人,所有的人,他們向全世界喊出了同一個(gè)聲音:我們并不隸屬 “紅州”與 “藍(lán)州”的對(duì)立陣營(yíng),我們屬于美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó),現(xiàn)在如此,永遠(yuǎn)如此!
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.
長(zhǎng)久以來(lái),很多人說(shuō):我們對(duì)自己的能量應(yīng)該冷漠,應(yīng)該恐懼,應(yīng)該懷疑。但是,歷史之輪如今已在我們手中,我們又一次將歷史之輪轉(zhuǎn)往更美好的未來(lái)。
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.
漫漫征程,今宵終于來(lái)臨。特殊的一天,特殊的一次大選,特殊的決定性時(shí)刻,美國(guó)迎來(lái)了變革。
I just received a very gracious call from Sen. 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 Gov. Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
剛才,麥凱恩參議員很有風(fēng)度地給我打了個(gè)電話。在這次競(jìng)選中,他的努力持久而艱巨。為了這個(gè)他摯愛的國(guó)家,他的努力更持久、更艱巨。他為美國(guó)的奉獻(xiàn)超出絕大多數(shù)人的想象。他是一位勇敢無(wú)私的領(lǐng)袖,有了他的奉獻(xiàn),我們的生活才更美好。我對(duì)他和佩林州長(zhǎng)的成績(jī)表示祝賀。同時(shí),我也期待著與他們共同努力,再續(xù)美國(guó)輝煌。
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.
我要感謝我的競(jìng)選搭檔——當(dāng)選副總統(tǒng)喬?拜登。為了與他一起在斯克蘭頓市街頭長(zhǎng)大、一起坐火車返回特拉華州的人們,拜登全心全意地竟選,他代表了這些普通人的聲音。
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 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.
我要感謝下一位第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬。她是我家的中流砥柱,是我生命中的最愛。沒(méi)有她在過(guò)去16年來(lái)的堅(jiān)定支持,今晚我就不可能站在這里。我要感謝兩個(gè)女兒薩沙和瑪麗婭,我太愛你們兩個(gè)了,你們將得到一條新的小狗,它將與我們一起入住白宮。我還要感謝已去世的外婆,我知道此刻她正在天上注視著我。她與我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他們,他們對(duì)我的恩情比山高、比海深。
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.
我要感謝我的競(jìng)選經(jīng)理大衛(wèi)?普魯夫,感謝首席策劃師大衛(wèi)?阿克塞羅德以及整個(gè)競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì),他們是政治史上最優(yōu)秀的競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)。你們成就了今夜,我永遠(yuǎn)感謝你們?yōu)榻褚顾冻龅囊磺小?/p>
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.
但最重要的是,我將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記這場(chǎng)勝利真正屬于誰(shuí)---是你們!
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.
我從來(lái)不是最有希望的候選人。起初,我們的資金不多,贊助人也不多。我們的競(jìng)選并非始于華盛頓的華麗大廳,而是起于德莫奈地區(qū)某家的后院、康科德地區(qū)的某家客廳、查爾斯頓地區(qū)的某家前廊。
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. This is your victory.
勞動(dòng)大眾從自己的微薄積蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元,拿來(lái)捐助我們的事業(yè)。年輕人證明了他們絕非所謂“冷漠的一代”。他們遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)和親人,拿著微薄的報(bào)酬,起早摸黑地助選。上了年紀(jì)的人也頂著嚴(yán)寒酷暑,敲開陌生人的家門助選。無(wú)數(shù)美國(guó)人自愿組織起來(lái),充當(dāng)自愿者。正是這些人壯大了我們的聲勢(shì)。他們的行動(dòng)證明了在兩百多年以后,民有、民治、民享的政府并未從地球上消失。這是你們的勝利。
I know you didn't do this just to win an election, and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
你們這樣做,并不只是為了贏得一場(chǎng)大選,更不是為了我個(gè)人。你們這樣做,是因?yàn)槟銈兦宄磥?lái)的任務(wù)有多么艱巨。今晚我們?cè)跉g慶,明天我們就將面對(duì)一生之中最為嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)--兩場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、一個(gè)充滿危險(xiǎn)的星球,還有百年一遇的金融危機(jī)。今晚我們?cè)谶@里慶祝,但我們知道在伊拉克的沙漠里,在阿富汗的群山中,許許多多勇敢的美國(guó)人醒來(lái)后就將為了我們而面臨生命危險(xiǎn)。許許多多的父母會(huì)在孩子熟睡后仍難以入眠,他們正在為月供、醫(yī)藥費(fèi),孩子今后的大學(xué)費(fèi)用而發(fā)愁。我們需要開發(fā)新能源,創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),建造新學(xué)校,迎接挑戰(zhàn)和威脅,并修復(fù)與盟國(guó)的關(guān)系。
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you: We as a people will get there.
前方道路還很漫長(zhǎng),任務(wù)艱巨。一年之內(nèi),甚至一屆總統(tǒng)任期之內(nèi),我們可能都無(wú)法完成這些任務(wù)。但我從未像今晚這樣對(duì)美國(guó)滿懷希望,我相信我們會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)目標(biāo)。我向你們承諾--我們美利堅(jiān)民族將實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)!
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, callused hand by callused hand.
我們會(huì)遇到挫折,會(huì)出師不利,會(huì)有許多人不認(rèn)同我的某一項(xiàng)決定或政策。政府并不能解決所有問(wèn)題,但我會(huì)向你們坦陳我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。我會(huì)聆聽你們的意見,尤其是在我們意見相左之時(shí)。最重要的是,我會(huì)讓你們一起重建這個(gè)國(guó)家。用自己的雙手,從一磚一瓦做起。這是美國(guó)立國(guó)221年以來(lái)的前進(jìn)方式,也是惟一的方式。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.
21個(gè)月前那個(gè)隆冬所開始的一切,絕不應(yīng)在這一個(gè)秋夜結(jié)束。我們所尋求的變革并不只是贏得大選,這只是給變革提供了一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)。假如我們照老路子辦事,就沒(méi)有變革;沒(méi)有你們,就沒(méi)有變革。
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.
讓我們重新發(fā)揚(yáng)愛國(guó)精神,樹立嶄新的服務(wù)意識(shí)、責(zé)任感,每個(gè)人下定決心,一起努力工作,彼此關(guān)愛;讓我們牢記這場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)帶來(lái)的教訓(xùn):不能允許商業(yè)街掙扎的同時(shí)卻讓華爾街繁榮。在這個(gè)國(guó)家,我們作為同一個(gè)民族,同生死共存亡。
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us 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, individual liberty and national unity. Those are values 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.
黨派之爭(zhēng)、瑣碎幼稚,長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)這些東西荼毒了我們的政壇。讓我們牢記,當(dāng)來(lái)自伊利諾伊州的一位先生首次將共和黨大旗扛進(jìn)白宮時(shí),伴隨著他的是自強(qiáng)自立、個(gè)人自由、國(guó)家統(tǒng)一的共和黨建黨理念。這也是我們所有人都珍視的理念。雖然民主黨今晚大勝,但我們態(tài)度謙卑,并決心彌合阻礙我們進(jìn)步的分歧。
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, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.
當(dāng)年,林肯面對(duì)的是一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)比目前更為分裂的國(guó)家。他說(shuō):“我們不是敵人,而是朋友……雖然激情可能不再,但是我們的感情紐帶不會(huì)割斷。”對(duì)于那些現(xiàn)在并不支持我的美國(guó)人,我想說(shuō),雖然我沒(méi)有贏得你們的選票,但我聽到了你們的聲音,我需要你們的幫助,我也將是你們的總統(tǒng)。
對(duì)于關(guān)注今夜結(jié)果的國(guó)際人士,不管他們是在國(guó)會(huì)、皇宮關(guān)注,還是在荒僻地帶收聽電臺(tái),我們的態(tài)度是:我們美國(guó)人的經(jīng)歷各有不同,但我們的命運(yùn)相關(guān),新的美國(guó)領(lǐng)袖誕生了。對(duì)于想毀滅這個(gè)世界的人們,我們必將擊敗你們。對(duì)于追求和平和安全的人們,我們將支持你們。對(duì)于懷疑美國(guó)這盞燈塔是否依然明亮的人們,今天晚上我們已再次證明:美國(guó)的真正力量來(lái)源并非軍事威力或財(cái)富規(guī)模,而是我們理想的恒久力量:民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)和不屈的希望。
For that is 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.
美國(guó)能夠變革,這才是美國(guó)真正的精髓。我們的聯(lián)邦會(huì)不斷完善。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就,將為我們將來(lái)能夠并且必須取得的成就增添希望。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's 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.
這次大選創(chuàng)造了多項(xiàng)“第一”,誕生了很多將流芳后世的故事,但今晚令我最為難忘的卻是一位在亞特蘭大投票的婦女:安妮?庫(kù)波爾。她和無(wú)數(shù)排隊(duì)等候投票的選民沒(méi)有什么差別,唯一的不同是她高齡106歲。
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.
在她出生的那個(gè)時(shí)代,黑奴制剛剛廢除。那時(shí)路上沒(méi)有汽車,天上沒(méi)有飛機(jī)。當(dāng)時(shí)像她這樣的人由于兩個(gè)原因不能投票--一第一因?yàn)樗桥?,第二個(gè)原因是她的膚色。
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.
今天晚上,我想到了安妮在美國(guó)過(guò)去一百年間的種種經(jīng)歷:心痛和希望,掙扎和進(jìn)步,那些我們被告知我們辦不到的年代,以及我們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)年代。現(xiàn)在,我們堅(jiān)信美國(guó)式信念──是的,我們能!
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.
在那個(gè)年代,婦女的聲音被壓制,她們的希望被剝奪。但安妮活到了今天,看到婦女們站起來(lái)了,可以大聲發(fā)表意見了,有選舉權(quán)了。是的,我們能。
When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.
安妮經(jīng)歷了上世紀(jì)三十年代的大蕭條。農(nóng)田荒蕪,絕望籠罩美國(guó)大地。她看到了美國(guó)以新政、新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)以及嶄新的共同追求戰(zhàn)勝了恐慌。是的,我們能。
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.
二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期,炸彈襲擊我們的海港,全世界受到獨(dú)裁專制威脅,安妮見證了一代美國(guó)人的英雄本色,他們捍衛(wèi)了民主。是的,我們能。
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes, we can.
安妮經(jīng)歷了蒙哥馬利公交車事件、伯明翰黑人暴動(dòng)事件、塞爾馬血醒周末事件。來(lái)自亞特蘭大的一位牧師告訴人們:我們終將勝利。是的,我們能。
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes, we can.
人類登上了月球、柏林墻倒下了,科學(xué)和想像把世界連成了一塊。今年,在這次選舉中,安妮的手指輕觸電子屏幕,投下自己的一票。她在美國(guó)生活了106年,其間有最美好的時(shí)光,也有最黑暗的時(shí)刻,她知道美國(guó)能夠變革。是的,我們能。
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
美利堅(jiān),我們已經(jīng)一路走來(lái),我們已經(jīng)看到了那么多變化,但我們?nèi)杂泻芏嗍虑橐觥=褚?,讓我們?wèn)自己這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)題:假如我們的孩子能夠活到下一個(gè)世紀(jì),假如我的女兒們有幸與安妮一樣長(zhǎng)壽,她們將會(huì)看到怎樣的改變?我們又取得了怎樣的進(jìn)步?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
現(xiàn)在,我們獲得了回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題的機(jī)會(huì)。這是我們的時(shí)刻,我們的時(shí)代。讓我們的人民重新就業(yè),為我們的孩子打開機(jī)會(huì)的大門;恢復(fù)繁榮,促進(jìn)和平;讓美國(guó)夢(mèng)重放光芒,再證這一根本性真理,那就是:團(tuán)結(jié)一致,眾志成城;一息尚存,希望就在;倘若有人嘲諷和懷疑,說(shuō)我們不能,我們就以這一永恒信條回應(yīng),因?yàn)樗哿苏麄€(gè)民族的精神——是的,我們能!
Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.
謝謝大家!愿上帝保佑你們,保佑美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。
奧巴馬競(jìng)選演講稿篇2:The Change We Need
This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression -- 760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year. Businesses and families can't get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than they've been in a decade, at a time when the costs of health care and college have never been higher.
At a moment like this, we can't afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. America needs a new direction. That's why I'm running for president of the United States.
Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need.
My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably. He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party. But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time. And when it comes to the economy, he still can't tell the American people one major thing he'd do differently from George Bush.
It's not change to come up with a tax plan that doesn't give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans -- a plan that even the National Review and other conservative organizations complain does far too little to benefit the middle class. It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years. It's not change to come up with a plan to address our housing crisis that puts another $300 billion of taxpayer money at risk -- a plan that the editorial board of this newspaper said 'raises more questions than it answers.'
If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other's success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers.
That's why we've had titans of industry who've made it their mission to pay well enough that their employees could afford the products they made -- businessmen like Warren Buffett, whose support I'm proud to have. That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator -- it's been the world's greatest job generator. It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history. To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families. If you work, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000, you'll get a tax cut. If you make more than $250,000, you'll still pay taxes at a lower rate than in the 1990s and capital gains and dividend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan.
We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country. I'll invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil. When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now. My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history. My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American. If you already have health insurance, the only change you'll see under my plan is lower premiums. If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of plan that members of Congress get for themselves.
To give every child a world-class education so they can compete in this global economy for the jobs of the 21st century, I'll invest in early childhood education and recruit an army of new teachers. But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability. And we'll make a deal with every young American: If you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford your tuition.
And when it comes to keeping this country safe, I'll end the Iraq war responsibly so we stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq while it sits on a huge surplus. For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up. I'll finally finish the fight against bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century, and restore our moral standing so that America remains the last, best hope of Earth.
None of this will be easy. It won't happen overnight. But I believe we can do this because I believe in America. This is the country that allowed our parents and
grandparents to believe that even if they couldn't go to college, they could save a little bit each week so their child could; that even if they couldn't have their own business, they could work hard enough so their child could open one of their own. And at every moment in our history, we've risen to meet our challenges because we've never forgotten the fundamental truth that in America, our destiny is not written for us, but by us. So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter. I ask you to believe -- not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. Tomorrow, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, create new jobs, and grow this economy so that everyone has a chance to succeed. You can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election -- together, we will change this country and change the world.
現(xiàn)在是美國(guó)歷史的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻。我們面臨著大蕭條以來(lái)最為嚴(yán)重的一場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī):今年以來(lái)已經(jīng)有76萬(wàn)人失業(yè);企業(yè)和家庭無(wú)法獲得信貸;房?jī)r(jià)不斷下滑,養(yǎng)老金日益縮水;工資降到了十年來(lái)的最低水平,同時(shí)醫(yī)療和教育成本卻漲到了有史以來(lái)的最高點(diǎn)。
在眼下這樣的危急時(shí)刻,我們承受不起又一個(gè)四年的支出增長(zhǎng)、千瘡百孔的減稅措施、或是監(jiān)管全無(wú)──即使是美國(guó)聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備委員會(huì)(Fed)前主席格林斯潘(Alan Greenspan)現(xiàn)在也承認(rèn)那是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。美國(guó)需要一個(gè)新的方向。這也正是我競(jìng)選美國(guó)總統(tǒng)的原因所在。
明天,也就是周二,你們將有能力賦予這個(gè)國(guó)家我們所需要的變革。
Corbis我的競(jìng)選對(duì)手麥凱恩參議員為美國(guó)作出的貢獻(xiàn)令人尊敬。他甚至可以指出他過(guò)去曾有幾次與自己的黨派分道揚(yáng)鑣。然而,在過(guò)去八年中,他十之八九都贊同布什總統(tǒng)的主張。而在經(jīng)濟(jì)問(wèn)題上,他仍然無(wú)法向美國(guó)民眾說(shuō)明,他與布什的做法會(huì)有什么太大區(qū)別。
如果提出的稅收計(jì)劃沒(méi)有讓1億多美國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)獲得一分錢的稅項(xiàng)減免,這不是變革──即使是《國(guó)家評(píng)論》(National Review)雜志和其他保守派組織也抱怨說(shuō),這個(gè)計(jì)劃對(duì)造福中產(chǎn)階級(jí)貢獻(xiàn)寥寥。在近年來(lái)不斷累積的財(cái)政赤字上再添5萬(wàn)億美元,這不是變革。如果解決房市危機(jī)的計(jì)劃又將另外3,000億美元納稅人的錢置于風(fēng)險(xiǎn)之中,這不是變革──《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》編輯委員會(huì)稱這一計(jì)劃“產(chǎn)生的問(wèn)題比解決的問(wèn)題多”。
如果說(shuō)我們從此次經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)中學(xué)到了什么的話,那就是我們要患難與共。從首席執(zhí)行長(zhǎng)到公司股東,從金融家到工廠工人,我們每個(gè)人都休戚相關(guān),因?yàn)槊绹?guó)的民眾越富足,美國(guó)才會(huì)越繁榮。
這就是為什么我們有些企業(yè)巨頭把提高員工薪酬作為自己的一項(xiàng)使命,讓員工能買得起自己生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品,比如巴菲特(Warren Buffett)這樣的商界人士。我對(duì)能有他的支持感到自豪。這就是為什么美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)不僅是世界上最偉大的財(cái)富創(chuàng)造者,也是世界上最偉大的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)制造者。它一直托舉著有史以來(lái)規(guī)模最大的中產(chǎn)階級(jí)之舟。
為了重塑美國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí),我將給予95%的工人及其家庭稅收減免待遇。如果你工作,就交稅;如果年收入不足20萬(wàn)美元,你會(huì)獲得減稅;即使你的年收入超過(guò)了25萬(wàn)美元,你所負(fù)擔(dān)的稅率也比上世紀(jì)九十年代要低──資本利得稅和股息稅要比里根總統(tǒng)時(shí)期低三分之一。
通過(guò)重建日益破敗的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、在美國(guó)的各個(gè)角落接通寬帶,我們將創(chuàng)造200萬(wàn)個(gè)就業(yè)崗位。未來(lái)的十年中,我將每年在可再生能源領(lǐng)域投資150億美元,進(jìn)而新增500萬(wàn)個(gè)崗位;這些工作環(huán)保、薪酬豐厚、不能外包,而且能幫助我們擺脫對(duì)中東石油的依賴。
在醫(yī)療問(wèn)題上,我們不必在政府運(yùn)營(yíng)的體系和目前這種我們難以負(fù)擔(dān)的體系之間進(jìn)行選擇。我的競(jìng)選對(duì)手提出的方案會(huì)令美國(guó)人有史以來(lái)首次為自己獲得的醫(yī)療福利納稅。我的計(jì)劃則會(huì)讓醫(yī)療保健成為每個(gè)美國(guó)人都負(fù)擔(dān)得起、享受得到的服務(wù)。根據(jù)我的計(jì)劃,如果你已經(jīng)有了醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn),你將看到的唯一一個(gè)變化是保費(fèi)降低;如果你還沒(méi)有醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn),你將能與國(guó)會(huì)議員們享受到同樣的醫(yī)療福利。
為了讓每個(gè)孩子享受到世界級(jí)的教育,讓他們能在全球經(jīng)濟(jì)中競(jìng)爭(zhēng)21世紀(jì)的工作崗位,我將投資早期教育,并且增加師資力量。不過(guò),我同時(shí)也會(huì)要求更高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和更多的責(zé)任。我們向每個(gè)美國(guó)年輕人作出承諾:如果你致力于服務(wù)你的社區(qū)或是你的國(guó)家,我們將確保你能負(fù)擔(dān)得起自己的學(xué)費(fèi)。
在國(guó)防安全問(wèn)題上,我將負(fù)責(zé)任地結(jié)束伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),這樣我們就不必在這個(gè)國(guó)家享有巨額財(cái)政盈余的情況下每月卻要在那里花費(fèi)100億美元。為了美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)、美國(guó)的軍隊(duì)和伊拉克的長(zhǎng)期穩(wěn)定,現(xiàn)在是伊拉克人站出來(lái)的時(shí)候了。我將最終完成對(duì)本·拉登(Bin Laden)和基地組織恐怖分子的打擊,正是這些人制造了9/11恐怖襲擊,同時(shí)我還會(huì)建立新的合作關(guān)系、擊退21世紀(jì)出現(xiàn)的威脅,恢復(fù)我們的道德威望,讓美國(guó)仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。
這些事情沒(méi)有一件是輕而易舉能辦到的,也不是一朝一夕能完成的。但是,我堅(jiān)信我們能成功,因?yàn)槲覍?duì)美國(guó)深信不疑。是美國(guó)使我們的父輩相信,即使他們自己無(wú)法上大學(xué),也可以每周積攢下一些錢來(lái),讓他們的孩子接受好的教育;即使他們不能擁有自己的企業(yè),也可以通過(guò)努力工作讓自己的孩子創(chuàng)辦企業(yè)。在美國(guó)歷史的每個(gè)時(shí)刻,我們都勇敢地站起來(lái)面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn),因?yàn)槲覀儚膩?lái)沒(méi)有忘記過(guò)這樣一個(gè)基本真理:在美國(guó),我們的命運(yùn)并非天定,而是掌握在我們自己的手中。 所以,明天,我懇請(qǐng)你們書寫美國(guó)下一個(gè)偉大的篇章。我懇請(qǐng)你們不只相信我?guī)?lái)變革的能力,還有你們自己的能力。明天,你們可以選擇這樣一種政策──向美國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)進(jìn)行投入、創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)崗位、實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)讓人人都有成功的機(jī)會(huì)。你們可以選擇希望而非恐懼、選擇團(tuán)結(jié)而非分裂、選擇變革的希望而非墨守成規(guī)。如果你們投我的票,我們將不僅贏得此次競(jìng)選,還將一起改變這個(gè)國(guó)家、改變這個(gè)世界。
奧巴馬競(jìng)選演講稿篇3:
我要感謝我的競(jìng)選伙伴。他發(fā)自內(nèi)心地投入競(jìng)選,他的聲音代表了那些在他成長(zhǎng)的斯克蘭頓街生活的人們的聲音,代表那些和他一道乘火車上下班的特拉華州人民的聲音?,F(xiàn)在他將是美國(guó)的副總統(tǒng),他就是喬·拜登。
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.
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 new White House.
And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s 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.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
如果不是我過(guò)去十六年間最親密的朋友、我的家庭的基石和我一生的至愛給予的支持,今晚我不會(huì)站在這里。那就是我們國(guó)家的下任第一夫人,米歇爾·奧巴馬。還有我的女兒,薩沙和瑪麗亞。我是如此愛你們。我們會(huì)帶著你們剛贏得的小狗一起搬進(jìn)白宮。而我的外祖母,雖然此刻他已經(jīng)離我們而去,但我知道她在看著呢——和帶給我生命、定義了我人生的家人們一道。今夜,我想念他們。我知道我欠他們的難以償還。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.
余嘗聞世人有疑,不知當(dāng)今美利堅(jiān)凡事皆可成就耶?開國(guó)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’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.
今夕之釋然,皆蒙美利堅(jiān)民眾之協(xié)力——學(xué)塾祠廟之外,市井鄉(xiāng)野之間,萬(wàn)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(guó)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(dòng)地之勢(shì)。
