奥巴马演讲稿范文4篇
奥巴马演讲稿范文4篇奥巴马演讲稿范文1：Yes We CanDear fellow Americans,Eight years ago, we came together as a nation to elect a president who promised hope and change. Today, we gather once again to celebrate the legacy of that president - Barack Obama.When he took office, our nation was in the midst of an economic crisis. Unemployment was at an all-time high, people were losing their homes, and hope seemed lost for many Americans. But Obama didn't give up - he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.He passed the Affordable Care Act, providing healthcare coverage to millions of Americans who had previously been left without it. He saved the auto industry, preventing the loss of thousands of jobs. And he fought tirelessly for equal rights, standing up for the LGBTQ community and signing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law.But Obama's legacy isn't just about the policies he passed. It's about the way he inspired us to believe in ourselves and in each other. He reminded us that, yes, we can. Yes, we can come together as a nation to overcome our differences. Yes, we can work towards a brighter future for ourselves and for our children. Yes, we can achieve greatness.As we move forward as a nation, let us remember the legacy of Barack Obama. Let us continue to believe in ourselves and in thepower of hope and change. And let us always remember - Yes, we can.Thank you and God bless America.奥巴马演讲稿范文2：My Brothers and Sisters of AmericaMy fellow Americans,Today, as we celebrate our nation's independence, I want to take a moment to reflect on what it truly means to be an American. It's more than just living within our borders or having a certain set of rights - being American is about the values that we hold dear.Values like freedom, equality, and justice for all. Values like coming together as a nation, despite our differences. And values like never giving up, even in the face of adversity.As we look around the world today, we see that these values are under threat. We see hate and violence on the rise, fueled by those who seek to divide us. But we cannot give in to fear or despair. We must hold fast to our values and stand together as Americans.We must stand up for the rights of all people, regardless of their race, gender, or religion. We must fight for justice and equality, for every person who has ever been marginalized or oppressed. And we must work towards a brighter future for ourselves and for generations to come.So my brothers and sisters of America, let us not shy away fromthe challenges ahead. Let us embrace them with open hearts and minds. Let us remember the values that make us American, and let us never forget that together, we can achieve anything.Thank you, and God bless America.奥巴马演讲稿范文3：A More Perfect UnionMy fellow Americans,Over the past few months, we have seen deep divisions within our country. We have seen hate and intolerance rear its ugly head, and we have seen the wounds of our past reopen. But I believe that, as Americans, we have the strength and the courage to overcome these challenges.As we celebrate Independence Day, I want to remind us of the ideals that our country was founded upon. The idea that we are all created equal, and that we all have certain unalienable rights - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The idea that, despite our differences, we are all Americans, and we should always strive towards a "more perfect union."This is not to say that we should ignore the problems that exist within our society. We must confront the challenges of racial inequality and social injustice head-on, and work towards a solution that is fair and just for all. We must listen to the voices of those who have been marginalized or oppressed, and work to create a society that uplifts and empowers every person.But we cannot do this alone. It takes all of us coming together, as Americans, to make real change happen. It takes us recognizing that no matter what our differences may be, we all share a common bond - our love for this country and our belief in the American dream.So let us work towards a "more perfect union." Let us continue fighting for justice and equality. And let us always remember that, as Americans, we are strongest when we stand together.Thank you, and God bless America.奥巴马演讲稿范文4：The Future of Our DemocracyMy fellow Americans,As we celebrate the 4th of July, I want to take a moment to reflect on the future of our democracy. Our country is facing unprecedented challenges - from the rising threat of international terrorism to the growing divide between our citizens. But I believe that, together, we can face these challenges head-on, and emerge even stronger.At the heart of our democracy is our belief in the power of the people. It is the idea that every citizen has a voice, and that those voices should be heard. But we must recognize that this idea is only effective if we are actively engaged in our civic duty.We cannot allow ourselves to become complacent, to believe that the problems we face will simply resolve themselves. We must bevigilant in protecting our democracy, in fighting for the rights of all people, and in working towards a more just and equitable society.So my message to you, my fellow Americans, is this: let us work towards a future that honors the values that make us great - freedom, equality, and justice for all. Let us be active and engaged citizens, using our voices and our actions to make real change happen. And let us never forget that, as citizens of the greatest democracy in the world, the future of our country is in our hands. Thank you, and God bless America.。

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.
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Байду номын сангаас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。
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.
01-奥巴马Yeswecan演讲词
Yes We CanIt was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.这是载于我们的建国宪章的基本信念。
Yes we can.我们做得到。
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.这信念被在幽暗中披荆斩棘，追寻自由的奴隶和解放者们低声吟诵，Yes we can. Yes we can.我们做得到，我们做得到。
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores它被跨越重洋来到新大陆的移民们，and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. 和开发西部蛮荒的先行者们高声传唱。
Yes we can. Yes we can.我们做得到，我们做得到。
It was the call of workers who organized;它激励工人们组成工会，women who reached for the ballots;它促使女性们获得投票权，a President who chose the moon as our new frontier;它指引总统将月球作为我们新的前线，and a King who took us to the mountain-top and pointed the way to the Promised Land.它引领我们跨越山巅，走向这理想之园。
Yes we can to justice and equality.我们能实现平等与公正。
(yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can...)我们做得到，我们做得到，我们做得到，我们做得到……Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.我们能抓住机会，重现繁荣昌盛。
奥巴马竞选演讲《yes we can》的全文
But let me say this, South Carolina. What we've seen in these last weeks is that we're also up against forces that are not the fault of any one campaign, but feed the habits that prevent us from being who we want to be as a nation.
After four -- after four great contests, in every corner of this country, we have the most votes, the most delegates, and the most diverse coalition of Americans that we've seen in a long, long time.
But there are real differences between the candidates. We are looking for more than just a change of party in the White House. We're looking to fundamentally change the status quo in Washington.
But if there's anything, though, that we have been reminded of since Iowa, it's that the kind of change we seek will not come easy, partly because we have fine candidates in this race, fierce competitors who are worthy of our respect and our admiration.

美国总统奥巴马的就职演讲《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。

Hello, Chicago!芝加哥，你好啊！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.假如还有人怀疑美国是不是一切皆有可能的地方，假如还有人困惑于我们的建国先辈们所持有的梦想，在今天还是不是鲜活，假如有人仍在质疑我们民主的力量到底强不强大，（那么）今晚（发生的一切）就是你们给他们的回答。
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.这个回答，是由那些连续三四小时在学校，在教堂，排着长长的队伍的人们给出的，这情形美国历史上从来没有发生过。
其中有很多人是平生第一次去投票，因为他们相信，这次一定与以往不同，他们相信，自己的声音肯定会使一切与过去不同。

所有这些美国人，都在向世界发出一个信息，那就是，我们从来不仅仅是无数个人的累加，不仅仅是红州（代表共和党）和蓝州（代表民主党）的混合体；我们是，也将永远是，美洲上团结起来的州（即美国）。
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年来我最好的朋友，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，但正是他完成了最好的，我想，是完成了美国历史上最好的政治选举活动。
