精选奥巴马当选总统两次演讲全文【中英对照】

奥巴马第一次获胜演讲中英对照《Change Has Come To America》《美国的变革时代已经到来》Hello, Chicago.芝加哥的市民们,你们好!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.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.如果还有人对在美国是否凡事皆有可能这一点存疑,还有人怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们所处的时代是否依然鲜活,还有人质疑我们的民主制度的力量,那么今晚,这些问题都有了答案。

这是设在学校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未见的长队给出的答案;是等了三四个小时的选民所给出的答案,其中许多人都是有生以来第一次投票,因为他们认定这一次肯定会不一样,认为自己的声音会是这次大选有别于以往之所在。

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.这是所有美国人民共同给出的答案--无论老少贫富,无论是民主党还是共和党,无论是黑人、白人、拉美裔、亚裔、原住民,是同性恋者还是异性恋者、残疾人还是健全人--我们从来不是“红州”和“蓝州”的对立阵营,我们是美利坚合众国这个整体,永远都是。

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.长久以来,很多人一再受到告诫,要对我们所能取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能事,但这个答案让这些人伸出手来把握历史,再次让它朝向美好明天的希望延伸。

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.已经过去了这么长时间,但今晚,由于我们在今天、在这场大选中、在这个具有决定性的时刻所做的,美国已经迎来了变革。

I just received a very gracious call from Senator 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 Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.我刚刚接到了麦凯恩参议员极具风度的致电。

他在这场大选中经过了长时间的努力奋斗,而他为自己所深爱的这个国家奋斗的时间更长、过程更艰辛。

他为美国做出了我们大多数人难以想像的牺牲,我们的生活也因这位勇敢无私的领袖所做出的贡献而变得更美好。

我向他和佩林州长所取得的成绩表示祝贺,我也期待着与他们一起在未来的岁月中为复兴这个国家的希望而共同努力。

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. 我要感谢我在这次旅程中的伙伴--已当选美国副总统的拜登。

他全心参与竞选活动,为普通民众代言,他们是他在斯克兰顿从小到大的伙伴,也是在他回特拉华的火车上遇到的男男女女。

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 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.如果没有一个人的坚决支持,我今晚就不会站在这里,她是我过去16年来最好的朋友、是我们一家人的中坚和我一生的挚爱,更是我们国家的下一位第一夫人:米歇尔•奥巴马(Michelle Obama)。

萨莎(Sasha)和玛丽亚(Malia),我太爱你们两个了,你们已经得到了一条新的小狗,它将与我们一起入驻白宫。

虽然我的外祖母已经不在了,但我知道她与我的亲人肯定都在看着我,因为他们,我才能拥有今天的成就。

今晚,我想念他们,我知道自己欠他们的无可计量。

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.我的竞选经理大卫•普劳夫(David Plouffe)、首席策略师大卫•艾克斯罗德(David Axelrod)以及政治史上最好的竞选团队--是你们成就了今天,我永远感激你们为实现今天的成就所做出的牺牲。

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.但最重要的是,我永远不会忘记这场胜利真正的归属--它属于你们。

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.我从来不是最有希望的候选人。

一开始,我们没有太多资金,也没有得到太多人的支持。

我们的竞选活动并非诞生于华盛顿的高门华第之内,而是始于得梅因、康科德、查尔斯顿这些地方的普通民众家中。

It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars 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 morethan 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.我们的竞选活动能有今天的规模,是因为辛勤工作的人们从自己的微薄积蓄中拿出钱来,捐出一笔又一笔5美元、10美元、20美元。

奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)

奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)第一篇:奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)亲爱的公民同胞们:今天我站在这裡﹐面对眼前的任务﹐深感卑微。

感谢你们给予我的信任﹐我也清楚前辈们為这个国家所作的牺牲。

我要感谢布什总统对国家的服务﹐感谢他在两届政府过渡期间给予的慷慨协作。

时至今日﹐已有44位美国总统宣誓就职。

总统的宣誓有时面对的是国家的和平繁荣﹐有时面临的是狂风骤雨的紧张形势。

在这种时刻﹐支持美国前进的不仅仅是领导人的能力和远见﹐更是美国人民对先驱者理想的坚定信仰﹐以及对美国建国宣言的忠诚。

过去是这样﹐我们这一代美国人也要如此。

我们都狠清楚﹐我们正处於危机之中。

我们的国家正在对触角广泛的暴力和仇恨网络宣战。

国家的经济也受到了严重的削弱﹐这是一些人贪婪和不负责任的后果﹐但在做出艰难选择和準备迎接新时代方面﹐我们出现了集体性的失误。

家园失去了﹔工作丢掉了﹔商业萧条了。

我们的医疗卫生耗资巨大﹔我们的学校让许多人失望﹔每天都能找到更多的证据表明我们利用能源的方式使得对手更加强大﹐并且威胁到了我们整个星球。

这些﹐是从数据和统计中可以看到的危机信号。

而更难以衡量但同样意义深远的是美国人自信心的丧失──现在一种认為美国衰落不可避免﹐我们的下一代必须降低期待的恐惧正在吞噬着我们的自信。

今天我要向你们说的是﹐我们面临的挑战是真实存在的。

这些挑战狠多﹐也狠严重﹐它们不会轻易地或者在短时间内就得以克服。

但记住这一点:美国终将渡过难关。

今天﹐我们聚集在这裡﹐是因為我们选择了希望而不是恐惧﹐团结而不是冲突与争执。

今天﹐我们在这裡宣佈要為无谓的抱怨、不实的承诺和指责画上句号﹐我们要打破牵制美国政治发展的陈旧教条。

我们仍是一个年轻的国家﹐但借用《圣经》的话说﹐摒弃幼稚的时代已经来临。

是时候重树我们坚韧的精神﹔选择我们更好的歷史﹔弘扬那些珍贵的天赋和高尚的理念﹐并代代传承下去﹐即上帝赋予的信念:天下眾生皆平等﹐眾生皆自由﹐且均应有追求最大幸福的机会。

奥巴马胜选演讲全文(中英文版)

奥巴马今日赢得大选,随后在芝加哥竞选总部发表胜选演讲,以下是华尔街日报中文网译制的全文:非常感谢你们。

今夜,在当年的殖民地赢得了决定自己命运的权利200多年以后,让美利坚合众国更加完美的任务又向前推进了一步。

这一进程是因为你们而向前推进的,因为你们再次确认了那种使美国胜利克服了战争和萧条的精神,那种使美国摆脱绝望的深渊并走向希望的最高点的精神,以及那种虽然我们每个人都在追求自己的个人梦想、但我们同属一个美国大家庭、并作为一个国家和民族共同进退的信仰。

今夜,在此次选举中,你们这些美国人民提醒我们,虽然我们的道路一直艰难,虽然我们的旅程一直漫长,但我们已经让自己振作起来,我们已经发起反击,我们在自己内心深处知道,对美利坚合众国来说,最美好一切属于未来。

我想感谢所有参加此次选举的美国人,无论你是首次参加选举还是为投票曾长时间排队等候。

顺便说一句,我们需要解决这些问题。

无论你是到投票站投票还是发传真投票,无论你选的是奥巴马还是罗姆尼,你都让别人听到了自己的声音,你都让美国因你而不同。

我要对罗姆尼州长说几句话,我对他和保罗•莱恩在这次竞争激烈的选举中的表现表示祝贺。

我们可能争夺得很激烈,但这仅仅是因为我们深爱着这个国家以及我们如此强烈地关心着它的未来。

从乔治到勒诺到他们的儿子米特,罗姆尼家族选择了通过公共服务来回报美国,那是一种我们今夜表示敬重和赞许的遗产。

我期待着今后几周能与罗姆尼州长坐下来讨论一下我们可以从何处着手一起努力将美国推向前进。

我想对我在过去四年中的朋友和伙伴表示感谢。

他就是美国的快乐战士、无出其右的最佳副总统乔•拜登。

如果不是那位20年前同意嫁给我的女性,我不会成为今天的我。

请让我公开说出下面这段话:米切尔,我对你的爱无以复加,我无比骄傲地看到其他美国人也爱上了你这位我们国家的第一夫人。

萨沙和玛利亚,在我们所有人的见证下你们正成长为两个坚强、聪明和美丽的年轻女性,就像你们的妈妈一样。

我十分以你们为荣。

Tonight more than200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its owndestiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. It movesforward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed thespirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit thathas lifted this country from the depths of despair to the sofhope. The belief that while each of us will pursue our ownindivual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or falltogether as one nation and as one people.今晚,是在一个曾经的殖民地在赢得自己主权200多年之后,我们来到这里,不断前行,这主要是因为你们坚信这个国家能够实现永恒的希望,实现移民的梦想。

每一个人都可以独立的争取自己的未来,我们将会作为一个国家共同起落。

Tonight in thiselection, you, the American people, remind us while our road hasbeen hard, while our journey has been long, we have pickedourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in ourhearts that the united states of America the best is yet tocome.今晚,在选举的过程当中,你们——美国的人民,让我们记得我们的道路是非常艰辛的,我们的道路是漫长的,我们重新站了起来,我们也从内心知道,美国还没有迎来最好的时代。

Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.

奥巴马就职演讲(中英文双译)

因為即使政府尽最大努力﹐尽最大义务﹐这个国家最终仍得依靠每个美国人的信念和决心。这种力量是洪灾泛滥时﹐陌生人间的温情善举﹔是人们寧可裁减工时也要保全朋友工作共同度过经济最困难时期的无私忘我﹔这是消防员们毅然冲入浓烟火海的无畏勇气﹐也是父母培养孩子的无私之心﹐孩子最终决定我们的命运\。
或许﹐我们今日面临着全新的挑战﹐我们迎接挑战的工具完全陌生。但是﹐我们赖以走向成功的价值观──勤劳、诚\实、勇敢、公正、宽容、好奇、忠诚\和爱国──从未改变。这些价值观是真实的。它们是推动我们歷史进步的沉默的力量。我们所需的就是回归这些真实的价值。如今我们需要的是一个勇於负责的新时代。人人都需要认识到﹐我们对自己﹐对国家乃至整个世界﹐都负有责任。我们不会抱怨﹐而会欣然接受这份责任﹐坚信没有什麼能比承担艰巨的任务更让人的精神充实﹐更能塑造我们的性格。
在重申我们国家伟大之处的同时﹐我们深知伟大从来不是上天赐予的﹐而是要靠我们努力争取。我们从不抄捷径﹐也不会退而求其次。我们的歷程不属於那些胆怯懦弱、享受安逸或追逐名利之人。这条歷程属於勇於承担风险者﹐属於实干家和创造者﹐他们中的一些人名留青史﹐但更多的人却在默默无闻地工作着。正是这些人带领我们走过了漫长崎嶇的旅途﹐带领我们走向富强和自由。
现在﹐有人质疑我们的目标是不是太大了﹐他们说我们的系统无法承受过多的宏大计划。他们太健忘了。因為他们忘了这个国家曾经取得过怎样的成绩﹐他们已经忘了当想象力与共同目标以及必要的勇气结合到一起时﹐自由的人民所能发挥的能量。
这些怀疑论者不能理解美国正在发生的改变﹐曾长期耗费我们精力的陈腐政治争议已不被接受。如今我们提出的问题不是美国政府规模是太大还是太小﹐而是它是否发挥应用的作用、是否能帮助美国家庭找到收入理想的工作、可以担负得起的医疗服务和足够安度晚年的退休储蓄。如果答案是肯定的﹐那麼我们要继续执行这些政策﹐如果答案是否定的﹐那麼我们就结束这些政策。我们当中所有管理公共资金的人要负起责任﹐要精打细算、革除陋习﹐并确保我们的工作受到公眾监督﹐唯有这样﹐人民与政府之间至关重要的信任才能得以恢復。

奥巴马就职演说中英对照稿

1月20日宣誓就职美国第44任总统。以下是奥巴马总统就职演说的中英文对照全文,中文由美国国务院国际信息局(IIP)根据演说记录稿翻译。
My fellow citizens:
I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.
至此,有四十四个美国人发出总统誓言。这些字词曾在蒸蒸日上的繁荣时期和宁静安详的和平年代诵读。但是间或,它们也响彻在阴云密布、风暴降临的时刻。美国能够历经这些时刻而勇往直前,不仅因为当政者具有才干或远见,而且也因为&uot;我们人民&uot;始终坚信我们先辈的理想,对我们的建国理念忠贞不渝。
So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
这是过来之路。这是这一代美国的必由之路。
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a conseuence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

2012年奥巴马胜选演讲全文(中英对照)奥巴马:我会成为更好的总统"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward.It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come.I want to thank every American who participated in this election ... whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time.By the way, we have to fix that. Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone... ... whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign.We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future.From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America's happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden.And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation's first lady.Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're going up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.And I'm so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now one dog's probably enough.To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics...The best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the life-long appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way, throughevery hill, through every valley.You lifted me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you've done andall the incredible work that you put in.I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics that tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym, or saw folks working late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.You'll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who's working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity.You'll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who's going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift.You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse whose working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home.That's why we do this. That's what politics can be.That's why elections matter. It's not small, it's big. It's important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy.That won't change after tonight, and it shouldn't. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty. We can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America's future. We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers.A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation, with all the good jobs and new businesses that follow.We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.We want to pass on a country that's safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on earth and the best troops this -- this world has ever known. But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being. We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrant's daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag.To the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner.To the furniture worker's child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president -- that's the future we hope for. That's the vision we share. That's where we need to go -- forward.That's where we need to go.Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. It's not always a straight line. It's not always a smooth path.By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won't end all the gridlock or solve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making thedifficult compromises needed to move this country forward. But that common bond is where we must begin.Our economy is recovering. A decade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over.And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you, and you've made me a better president. And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead.Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual.You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together. Reducing our deficit. Reforming our tax code. Fixing our immigration system. Freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We've got more work to do.But that doesn't mean your work is done. The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote. America's never been about what can be done for us. It's about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self- government. That's the principle we were founded on.This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history, but that's not what makes us strong. Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that's not whatkeeps the world coming to our shores.What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth.The belief that our destiny is shared; that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations. The freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights.And among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That's what makes America great.I am hopeful tonight because I've seen the spirit at work in America. I've seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job.I've seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALs who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.I've seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm.And I saw just the other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his 8-year-old daughter, whose long battle with leukemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care.I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father, but meet this incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowd listening to that father's story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes, because we knew that little girl could be our own.And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright. That's who we are. That's the country I'm so proud to lead as your president.And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been more hopeful about our future.I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope. I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. I'm not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight.I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunity and new security for the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, able, disabled, gay or straight, you can make it here in America if you're willing to try.I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America.And together with your help and God's grace we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on Earth.Thank you, America. God bless you. God bless these United States."谢谢,非常感谢。

The challenges we face are great, but together, we can overcome them and build a brighter future for our nation and the world.女士们先生们,今天,作为美国总统,我站在你们面前,对你们对我的信任感到谦卑,感激有机会向你们全体发表讲话。

我们面临的挑战艰巨,但是我们可以共同克服它们,为我们的国家和世界建设一个更加光明的未来。

As I look back on the past eight years, I am proud of what we have accomplished. We have overcome economic recession, expanded healthcare coverage, and made progress in areas such as climate change and marriage equality. But there is still work to be done.回顾过去的八年,我为我们所取得的成就感到自豪。

我们克服了经济衰退,扩大了医疗保障范围,在气候变化和婚姻平等等领域取得了进展。

但是还有工作要做。

In the years ahead, we must continue to strive for progress and upholdthe values that make our nation strong. We must invest in education, support innovation and entrepreneurship, and ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can build an inclusive and prosperous society.在未来的岁月里,我们必须继续努力进取,坚守使我们国家强大的价值观。
