伊万卡的演讲

Good evening. Thank you.One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy. In his ownway, and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to enterthe political arena as an outsider.晚上好。

谢谢。

一年前，当我父亲宣布参选时，我为他进行了介绍演讲。

作为一个门外汉，我的父亲用自己的方式，凭借一腔热血，牺牲付出，进入了政坛。

And he prevailed against afield of 16 very talented competitors.For more than a year, Donald Trump hasbeen the people’s champion, and tonight he’s the people’s nominee.他从16位优秀的候选人中脱颖而出。

这一年多以来，唐纳德·特朗普一直被大家拥护，而今夜，他成为了民之所择。

Like many of my fellowmillenials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. Morethan party affiliation, I vote on based on what I believe is right, for myfamily and for my country. Sometimes it’s a t ough choice. That is not the casethis time. As the proud daughter of your nominee, I am here to tell you thatthis is the moment and Donald Trump is the person to make America great again.跟很多千禧年的人一样，我并不认为自己有共和党或民主党的党派之分。

抛开党派关系，我投票完全因为我相信它是对的，这是为家庭，更是为国家。

很多时候，选择都是艰难的。

而这一次并不是。

作为候选人的女儿，我十分自豪，此时此刻我在这里就是想告诉大家唐纳德·特朗普就是那个能让美国再次伟大的人。

Real change, the kind wehave not seen in decades is only going to come from outside the system. Andit’s only going to come from a man who’s spent his entire life doing whatothers said could not be done. My father is a fighter. When the primaries gottough and they were tough, he did what any great leader does. He dug deeper,worked harder, got better and became stronger.真正的改变，那种几十年都没为人所见的改变，只会来自于体系外。

而它只会来自一个花了一生去做别人认为不可能的事情的人。

我的父亲是一个战士。

初选的时候很艰难，竞选对手也很强势，他做了一个伟大的领导人该做的事情。

他越发努力工作，提升自己，变得更强大。

I have seen him fight forhis family. I have seen him fight for his employees. I have seen him fight forhis company. And now, I am seeing him fight for our country. It’s been thestory of his life and mor e recently the spirit of his campaign. It’s also aprelude to reaching the goal that unites us all. When this party and betterstill this country knows what it is like to win again.他为了我们的家庭奋斗。

他也曾为自己的员工奋斗。

我也见过他为了自己的公司拼搏。

现在，我见证着他为了我们的国家而奋斗。

奋斗是他一生的故事，也是他竞选的精神所在。

这也是让我们团结在一起的前奏。

我们共和党，还有我们国家即将再次尝到胜利的滋味f it’s possible to befamous and yet not really well done, that describes the father who raised me.In the same office in Trump Tower, where we now work together, I rememberplaying on the floor by my father’s desk, co nstructing miniature buildings withLegos and Erector sets, while he did the same with concrete steel and glass.如果可以的话，我想跟你们说说这个把我养大的父亲。

也是在特朗普塔里面，我们曾一起共事，我还记得我在父亲的办工作旁玩乐高，搭小房子，而我父亲在做一样的事情，只不是他玩的是真的钢筋水泥.One of my father’sgreatest talents is the ability to see potential in people, before they see itin themselves. It was like that for us to growing up. He taught us thatpotential vanishes into nothing without effort.我父亲最大的天赋在于他能看到不同人的才华，甚至有些时候这些人都不知道自己有这样的才华。

就像他对我们的教育一样。

他告诉我们再好的天赋如果不加上适当的训练也会变得一文不值。

And like him, we each hada responsibility to work, not just for ourselves but for the betterment of theworld around us. Over the years, on too many occasions to count, I saw myfather tear stories out of the newspaper about people whom he had never met,who were facing some injustice or hardship.就像他一样，我们每个人都有责任区工作，这样做不仅仅是为了我们自己，而是为了让我们身边的世界变得更好。

多年来，在多到数不清的场合里，我发现我父亲为那些正在面临着一些不公正或者有困难的人潸然泪下。

He’d write a note to hisassistant, in a signature black felt tip pen, and request that the person befound and invited to Trump Tower to meet with him. He would talk to them andthen draw upon his extensive network to find them a job or get them a break.And they would leave his office, as people so often do after having been withDonald Trump, feeling that life could be great again.他还写了一个便签给他的助理，告诉这个助理把那些他看到的有困难的人邀请到Trump Tower来见他。

我父亲会跟这些人聊天然后通过自己卓越的商业人脉帮助这些人找一份工作或者给他们一个换成。

在这人离开我父亲的办公室时，他们感觉人生又燃起了希望。

Throughout my entire life,I have witnessed his empathy and generosity towards other, especially those whoare suffering. It is just his w ay of being in your corner when you’re down. Myfather not only has the strength and ability necessary to be our nextPresident, but also the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be theleader that this country needs.在我们的一生中，我已经无数次目睹了他对别人的善良和同情，特别是那些正在遭受困难的人。

当你遇到困难时，他就会在你转身后的某一个角落里等着你。

我父亲不仅有能力成为我们的下一个总统，而且他的善良和同情心能确保他成为这个国家的领导者。

I’ve learned a lot aboutthe world from walking construction jobs by his side. When run properly,construction sites are true meritocracies. Competence in the building trades iseasy to spot and incompetence is impossible to hide.在他身边工作我受益良多，尤其是在建筑工程方面。

要想合理运营公司，建筑工地是兵家必争之地。
