Transcript: Michelle Obama's Convention Speech

September 4,2012

Thank you so much, Elaine...we are so grateful for your family's service and sacrifice...and we will always have your back.Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country.And everywhere I've gone, in the people I've met, and the stories I've heard, I have seen the very best of the American spirit.I have seen it in the incredible kindness and warmth that people have shown me and my family, especially our girls.I've seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay.I've seen it in people who become heroes at a moment's notice, ping into harm's way to save others...flying across the country to put out a fire...driving for hours to bail out a flooded town.And I've seen it in our men and women in uniform and our proud military families...in wounded warriors who tell me they're not just going to walk again, they're going to run, and they're going to run marathons...in the young man blinded by a bomb in Afghanistan who said, simply, “...I'd give my eyes 100 times again to have the chance to do what I have done and what I can still do.”

Every day, the people I meet inspire me...every day, they make me proud...every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.Serving as your First Lady is an honor and a privilege...but back when we first came together four years ago, I still had some concerns about this journey we'd begun.While I believed deeply in my husband's vision for this country...and I was certain he would make an extraordinary President...like any mother, I was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance.How would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight?

First lady Michelle Obama addresses the DNC after being introduced by military mom Elaine Brye, from PBS NewsHour.How would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends, and the only home they'd ever known?

Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys...Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house...and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both.And the truth is, I loved the life we had built for our girls...I deeply loved the man I had built that life with...and I didn't want that to change if he became President.I loved Barack just the way he was.You see, even though back then Barack was a Senator and a presidential candidate...to me, he was still the guy who'd picked me up for our dates in a car that

was so rusted out, I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door...he was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he'd found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small.But when Barack started telling me about his family – that's when I knew I had found a kindred spirit, someone whose values and upbringing were so much like mine.You see, Barack and I were both raised by families who didn't have much in the way of money or material possessions but who had given us something far more valuable –

their unconditional love, their unflinching sacrifice, and the chance to go places they had never imagined for themselves.My father was a pump operator at the city water plant, and he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when my brother and I were young.And even as a kid, I knew there were plenty of days when he was in pain...I knew there were plenty of mornings when it was a struggle for him to simply get out of bed.But every morning, I watched my father wake up with a smile, grab his walker, prop himself up against the bathroom sink, and slowly shave and button his uniform.And when he returned home after a long day's work, my brother and I would stand at the top of the stairs to our little apartment, patiently waiting to greet him...watching as he reached down to lift one leg, and then the other, to slowly climb his way into our arms.But despite these challenges, my dad hardly ever missed a day of work...he and my mom were determined to give me and my brother the kind of education they could only dream of.And when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants.But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself.And every semester, he was determined to pay that bill right on time, even taking out loans when he fell short.He was so proud to be sending his kids to college...and he made sure we never missed a registration deadline because his check was late.You see, for my dad, that's what it meant to be a man.Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in life – being able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family.And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he'd grown up all the way across the country, he'd been brought up just like me.Barack was raised by a single mother who struggled to pay the bills, and by grandparents who stepped in when she needed help.Barack's grandmother started out as a secretary at a community bank...and she moved quickly up the ranks...but like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling.And for years, men no more qualified than she was – men she had actually trained – were promoted up the ladder ahead of her, earning more and more money while Barack's family continued to scrape by.But day after day, she kept on waking up at dawn to catch the bus...arriving at work before anyone else...giving her best without complaint or regret.And she would often tell Barack, “So long as you kids do well, Bar, that's all that really matters.”

Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much.They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did...in fact, they admired it.They simply believed in that fundamental American promise that, even if you don't start out with much, if you work hard and do what you're supposed to do, then you should be able to build a decent life for yourself and an even better life for your kids and grandkids.That's how they raised us...that's what we learned from their example.We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make...that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters...that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules...and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean...and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.Those are the values Barack and I – and so many of you – are trying to pass on to our own children.That's who we are.And standing before you four years ago, I knew that I didn't want any of that to change if Barack became President.Well, today, after so many struggles and triumphs and moments that have tested my husband in ways I never could have imagined, I have seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are – it reveals who you are.You see, I've gotten to see up close and personal what being president really looks like.And I've seen how the issues that come across a President's desk are always the hard ones – the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer...the judgment calls where the stakes are so high, and there is no margin for error.And as President, you can get all kinds of advice from all kinds of people.But at the end of the day, when it comes time to make that decision, as President, all you have to guide you are your values, and your vision, and the life experiences that make you who you are.So when it comes to rebuilding our economy, Barack is thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother.He's thinking about the pride that comes from a hard day's work.That's why he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help women get equal pay for equal work.That's why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its feet.That's how he brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again – jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right here in the United States of America.When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president.He didn't care whether it was the easy thing to do politically – that's not how he was raised – he cared that it was the right thing to do.He did it because he believes that here in America, our grandparents should be able to afford their medicine...our kids should be able to see a doctor when they're sick...and no one in this country should ever go broke because of an accident or illness.And he believes that women are more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care...that's what my husband stands for.When it comes to giving our kids the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could've attended college without financial aid.And believe it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage.We were so young, so in love, and so in debt.That's why Barack has fought so hard to increase student aid and keep interest rates down, because he wants every young person to fulfill their promise and be able to attend college without a mountain of debt.So in the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political – they're personal.Because Barack knows what it means when a family struggles.He knows what it means to want something more for your kids and grandkids.Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.And he believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity...you do not slam it shut behind you...you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.So when people ask me whether being in the White House has changed my husband, I can honestly say that when it comes to his character, and his convictions, and his heart, Barack Obama is still the same man I fell in love with all those years ago.He's the same man who started his career by turning down high paying jobs and instead working in struggling neighborhoods where a steel plant had shut down，fighting to rebuild those communities and get folks back to work...because for Barack, success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives.He's the same man who, when our girls were first born, would anxiously check their cribs every few minutes to ensure they were still breathing, proudly showing them off to everyone we knew.That's the man who sits down with me and our girls for dinner nearly every night, patiently answering their questions about issues in the news, and strategizing about middle school friendships.That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent him.The letter from the father struggling to pay his bills...from the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company won't cover her care...from the young person with so much promise but so few opportunities.I see the concern in his eyes...and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, “You won't believe what these folks are going through, Michelle...it's not right.We've got to keep working to fix this.We've got so much more to do.”

I see how those stories – our collection of struggles and hopes and dreams – I see how that's what drives Barack Obama every single day.And I didn't think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago...even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met.I love that he's never forgotten how he started.I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard – especially when it's hard.I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as “us” and “them” – he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above...he knows that we all love our country...and he's always ready to listen to good ideas...he's always looking for the very best in everyone he meets.And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it – when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost – Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise.Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward...with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.And he reminds me that we are playing a long game here...and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once.But eventually we get there, we always do.We get there because of folks like my Dad...folks like Barack's grandmother...men and women who said to themselves, “I may not have a chance to fulfill my dreams, but maybe my children will...maybe my grandchildren will.”

So many of us stand here tonight because of their sacrifice, and longing, and steadfast love...because time and again, they swallowed their fears and doubts and did what was hard.篇二：奥巴马：总统竞选连任胜选演讲

Barack Obama

Presidential Election Victory Speech

delivered 7 November 2012

[AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio.]

（真实性鉴定；以下文本直接转录自音频资料）

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.谢谢你们，非常感谢你们。

今晚，在一个前殖民地赢得了决定自身命运权利两百多年后的今晚，完美我们联邦的任务正在推向前进。

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 inpidual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together, as one nation, and as one people.它的推进是因为你们。它的推进是因为你们重申了赢得战争击败衰退的精神，重申了将这个国家从绝望的低谷提升至希望的巅峰的精神，重申了这样的信念——当我们每个人追求我们各自的梦想时，我们都从属于一个美国大家庭；作为一个国家一个民族，我们共进退同祸福。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.今晚，在这次选举中，你们——美国人民提醒我们：尽管道路艰难征途漫长，我们已振作精神杀出重围；我们深知，对美利坚合众国而言，最好的时刻尚未到来。

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.我要感谢每一位参与这次选举的美国人。无论你在第一时间投票，或是在队伍中等待了很久——顺便说一句，我们必须改进投票程序；无论你是在人行道上蹒跚前移，还是拿起电话投票；无论你举的牌子上，写的是奥巴马还是罗姆尼，你的声音都会被听到，你也一样举足轻重。

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 a 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.我刚刚与罗姆尼州长通过话，我祝贺他和保罗·瑞安在这场艰苦的选战中的出色表现。也许我们有过激烈的较量，但那只因为我们都深深地爱着这个国家，我们都如此强烈地关注着它的未来。从乔治到埃莉诺（罗姆尼的父母，曾分别任州长与参议员——译者注）到他们的儿子米特，罗姆尼家族选择了投身公共服务来回报美国，这是今晚值得我们尊敬和赞美的一份遗产。在今后的日子里，我也期待与罗姆尼州长坐下来，讨论在哪些方面我们能够共同合作，把这个国家推向前进。

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.我想感谢我过去四年里的朋友和伙伴，美国的快乐斗士——超出任何人想象的最好的副总统——乔·拜登。

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 growing 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 is probably enough.如果没有20年前同意嫁给我的那位女人，我将不会是今天站在这里这个男人。让我告诉所有人吧：米歇尔，我从未像今天这样爱你；我也从未像今天这样为你骄傲——看到你作为我

们国家的第一夫人，赢得了其他美国人的爱。萨沙和玛丽亚，在我们的眼皮底下，你们正成长为坚强、聪明、漂亮的年轻女人，像你们的妈妈那样。我是如此为你们这两个小家伙骄傲，但是现在我要说，一条狗大概就足够了。（在奥巴马的第一次胜选演说中，他当众宣布送给两个女儿一条狗作为胜选礼物——译者注）

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 lifelong appreciation of a grateful President.Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley.You lifted me up the whole way.And I will always be grateful for everything that you've done and all the incredible work that you put in.对政治史上最好的竞选团队与志愿者们——最好，永远的最好。你们有些人是这次选举聚集的新人，有些则从最初的时刻就站在我的身边；然而你们全都亲如家人。不管你们从事何种职业，将从这里走向何方，你们都将拥有一个心怀感激的总统的铭记终身的赏识。越过每一道山峰，穿过每一个低谷，感谢你们始终不逾的信任。对你们所做的每一件事，你们奉献的所有难以置信的工作，我将永怀感激之情。

I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly.And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who 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 at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.我明白，政治选战有时可能显得琐屑甚至愚蠢。它给那些愤世嫉俗者提供了大量的炮弹，他们告诉我们，除了给那些自负的家伙竞争的机会和给那些特殊利益者较量的场所，政治毫无价值。然而，如果你有机会和那些在我们的大会上聚集或挤在高中体育馆的队伍中的人们谈谈，或目睹人们在竞选办公室工作到很晚，你可能会发现一些别的东西。

You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who’s worked 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 who’s 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.你会在一个年轻的选区组织者的话语中听出决心，他通过上大学闯出了自己的人生之路，他要确保每个孩子都有同样的机会。你会在一个志愿者的话语中听出骄傲，他挨家挨户动员人们去投票因为当本地的汽车工厂增加工作班次他的兄弟最终被录用。你会在一个军人配偶的话语中听出深深的爱国精神，她为助选拨打电话直到深夜，以确保没有任何为这个国家而战的人，退伍回家后又得为工作而战，为栖身之所而战。

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, and 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.在一个有着三亿人口的国家里，民，主，政，治可能显得喧嚣、混乱、复杂。我们有自己的观点，我们每个人都有自己深挚的信仰。每当我们面对艰难时世，每当我们国家要作出重大的决定，它都必然会激起热情，引发争论。这些将不会在今晚之后改变，也不应被改变。我们拥有的这些争论是我们自由的一个标志。我们决不能忘记，就在我们说话的此刻，那些遥，远，国度，的人们，正冒，着，生，命的危险，仅仅为争得一个讨论重要问题的机会，一个像我们今天一样投，票，的机会。

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.不管我们有怎样的分歧，多数人对美国的未来还是享有某些共同的期待。我们希望我们的孩子们生长在一个这样国家：在那里，他们能上最好的学校有最好的老师；在那里，他们实践先辈的遗训，成为科技、发明、创新的世界领导者，拥有随之而来的最好的工作机会与新兴 的产业。我们希望我们的孩子生活在这样一个美国：它不再背负债务，不再为不平等所削弱，不再为这个正在变暖的星球的破坏性力量所威胁

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 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.我们希望交给后人这样一个美国，它安全并享有遍及全球的尊重与羡慕；这样一个美国，它由地球上最强大的军事力量，这个世界所知道的最好的军队所捍卫；它同时又是这样一个国家，它自信地超越这个时代的战争，去塑造一个奠基于给每一个人以自由与尊严的承诺之上的和平。

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 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.我们信仰一个慷慨的美国，一个富于同情心的美国，一个海纳百川的美国。它对一个移民的女儿展开怀抱，她在我们的学校念书对我们国旗宣誓；它对芝加哥南部的男孩展开怀抱，他眼中的生活超越了他身边的街角；它对北卡罗来纳州的木匠的孩子展开怀抱，他想成为医生或科学家，成为工程师或企业家，成为外交官甚至成为总统。那就是我们希望的未来，那就是我们共同的愿景，那就是我们希望的乐土。“逝将去汝，适彼乐土。乐土乐土，爰得我所。”

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 the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward.But that common bond is where we must begin.眼下，对如何达成目标，我们意见分歧，有时这种分歧还十分严重。正如两个多世纪以来，发展总是潮起潮落一样，它不会是一条直线，不总是一马平川。就其本身而言，意识到我们

篇三：奥巴马演讲稿

贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马二世(Barack Hussein Obama II)，1961年8月4日生于美国夏威夷州火奴鲁鲁（檀香山），父亲是一位祖籍肯尼亚的黑人穆斯林，母亲是堪萨斯州的美国人。父亲贝拉克·奥巴马是一名在夏威夷念书的肯尼亚留学生。母亲安·邓纳姆是一个白人，原本来自堪萨斯州。

1983年毕业于哥伦比亚大学，1985年到芝加哥工作。1991年毕业于哈佛大学的法学院，是第一个担任哈佛法学评论主编的非洲裔美国人。

1992年和米歇尔·拉沃恩·奥巴马结婚。1996年，奥巴马从芝加哥当选为伊利诺伊州州参议员并在之后的3年中连任；2000年，在竞选美国众议院议员席位失败后，奥巴马将主要精力投入到伊利诺伊州的参议工作中。

2007年2月10日，奥巴马在伊利诺伊州斯普林菲尔德市正式宣布参加2008年美国总统大选，并提出了重点在“完结伊拉克战争以及实施全民医疗保险制度”的竞选纲领。2008年6月3日，奥巴马被定为民主党总统候选人；同年8月23日，在民主党全国代表大会上奥巴马被正式提名，从而成为了美国历史上首个非洲裔总统大选候选人。

2008年1月1日，奥巴马开通了自己的微博网，通过网络渠道对竞选进行宣传，后来被人们称为Web2.0总统，可见奥巴马对网络的重视。2008年11月5日，奥巴马击败共和党候选人约翰·麦凯恩，正式当选为美国第四十四任总统（届数：第56届，任数：第44任，位数：第43位，政党：民主党）。于2009年1月20日，在美国首都华盛顿特区参加就职典礼，发表就职演说，并参加了游行。任期4年。根据美国法律，他还可以在2012年，再次竞选总统。

2009年10月9日，据英国广播公司报道，诺贝尔奖评审会称，美国总统奥巴马因“为增强国际外交及各国人民间的合作做出非同寻常的努力”而被授予2009年度诺贝尔和平奖。民调显示，2009年奥巴马的支持率最高达到59%，而后开始滑落，2011年一月份到达48%的水平，而由于经济手段改革与医疗体制改革，奥巴马的支持率持续走低，到三月份末降到最低的38%，但后又因击毙拉登上升，近期又由于前述原因轻微下降，他的平均支持率平均在4、5成之间，属于中等水平。

2011年11月，福布斯2011权力人物榜：奥巴马排名第一。尽管在处理高失业率和经济衰退问题上的不足导致奥巴马在国内支持率下降，但他在世界舞台上的表现完全不同。随着“基地”组织领导人本·拉登和利比亚前领导总统竞选人卡扎菲相继被击毙，奥巴马的影响力迅速上升。

2012年10月17日，经过90分钟的舌战，美国总统大选结束了第二场总统辩论。首战支持率大跌的奥巴马，此次成功逆转，根据CNN实时投票结果，奥巴马的支持率飙升到46%。

北京时间2012年11月7日，当地时间6日晚，美国总统奥巴马获得275张选票，连任总统已成定局。他在推特上发文感谢选民。

第二篇：奥巴马总统2011感恩节演讲

Thanksgiving Day, 2011 A Proclamation? By the President of the United States of America

2011年感恩节

美利坚合众国总统公告

2011年11月16日

?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? November 16, 2011 One of our Nation's oldest and most cherished traditions, Thanksgiving Day brings us closer to our loved ones and invites us to reflect on the blessings that enrich our lives.The observance recalls the celebration of an autumn harvest centuries ago, when the Wampanoag tribe joined the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony to share in the fruits of a bountiful season.The feast honored the Wampanoag for generously extending their knowledge of local game and agriculture to the Pilgrims, and today we renew our gratitude to all American Indians and Alaska Natives.We take this time to remember the ways that the First Americans have enriched our Nation's heritage, from their generosity centuries ago to the everyday contributions they make to all facets of American life.As we come together with friends, family, and neighbors to celebrate, let us set aside our daily concerns and give thanks for the providence bestowed upon us.感恩节（Thanksgiving Day）是我国最悠久、最宝贵的传统之一。这个节日带给我们更浓郁的亲情，令我们反思给予我们丰富多彩的生活的万般恩典。这个传统上溯至几百年前万帕诺亚格部落（Wampanoag tribe）和普利茅斯殖民地（Plymouth Colony）清教徒移民分享秋收果实的欢庆时节。当时的盛宴表达了对万帕诺亚格部落向新移民传授当地狩猎和农作知识的慷慨友情的赞赏；今天，我们继续向所有美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民表示感恩。让我们值此时刻重温美国最早期的人们对我国文化传统的贡献——他们不仅在数百年前慷慨相助，而且每一天都在为美国生活的各方各面作贡献。在我们与朋友、家人和邻居聚首欢庆的日子里，让我们抛开日常烦恼，为上帝对我们的眷顾而感恩。

Though our traditions have evolved, the spirit of grace and humility at the heart of Thanksgiving has persisted through every chapter of our story.When President George Washington proclaimed our country's first Thanksgiving, he praised a generous and knowing God for shepherding our young Republic through its uncertain beginnings.Decades later, President Abraham Lincoln looked to the pine to protect those who had known the worst of civil war, and to restore the Nation “to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union.”

虽然我们的传统与时俱进，但是作为感恩节核心的恩惠与谦卑精神贯穿于我们历史的各段篇章，始终如一。乔治·华盛顿（George Washington）总统发表了美国第一个感恩日公告，感谢慷慨而全能的上帝护卫我们年轻的共和国度过风雨莫测的初始阶段。几十年后，亚伯拉罕·林肯（Abraham Lincoln）总统祈求神灵保佑深领内战不幸的人们，让国家重享完全的“和平、和谐、安宁与联邦团结”。

In times of adversity and times of plenty, we have lifted our hearts by giving humble thanks for the blessings we have received and for those who bring meaning to our lives.Today, let us offer gratitude to our men and women in uniform for their many sacrifices, and keep in our thoughts the families who save an empty seat at the table for a loved one stationed in harm's way.And as members of our American family make do with less, let us rededicate ourselves to our friends and fellow citizens in need of a helping hand.无论时逢逆境还是一帆风顺，我们通过对恩典和赋予我们生命意义的人们谦卑地表示感恩而得到心灵的升华。今天，让我们向付出各种牺牲的男女军人表示感谢，也让我们心系那些在餐桌边为值守在险境中的亲人留着空位的家庭。面对精简度日的美国大家庭的成员，让我们再次向需要帮助的朋友和国人献出爱心。

As we gather in our communities and in our homes, around the table or near the hearth, we give thanks to each other and to God for the many kindnesses and comforts that grace our lives.Let us pause to recount the simple gifts that sustain us, and resolve to pay them forward in the year to come.当我们聚会在社区和家中，围坐在餐桌旁、火炉边时，我们向彼此表示感谢，我们向将仁慈与温馨带到我们生活中的上帝表示感谢。让我们驻足凝思鼓舞我们的生活的点滴恩惠，并立志来年报恩。

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 24, 2011, as a National Day of Thanksgiving.I encourage the people of the United States to come together--whether in our homes, places of worship, community centers, or any place of fellowship for friends and neighbors--to give thanks for all we have received in the past year, to express appreciation to those whose lives enrich our own, and to share our bounty with others.为此，我，美利坚合众国总统巴拉克·奥巴马，以美国宪法和法律赋予我的权力，特此宣布2011年11月24日星期四为全国感恩节。我呼吁美国全体人民，不论是在家中、在敬拜场所、在社区中心，还是在任何与亲朋好友及左邻右舍欢聚的地方，共同对我们过去一年所得的一切表示感谢，向那些用他们的生命丰富了我们的生活的人表示感谢；并与他人分享自己所受之恩。

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.我谨于公元2011年11月16日，即美利坚合众国独立第236年，亲笔在此签名为证。

第三篇：奥巴马竞选演讲

奥巴马竞选演讲.txt我不奢望什么，只希望你以后的女人一个不如一个。真怀念小时候啊，天热的时候我也可以像男人一样光膀子！奥巴马竞选演讲：我们需要的变革(中英文对照)

现在是美国历史的关键时刻。This is a defining moment in our history.我们面临着大萧条以来最为严重的一场经济危机：今年以来已经有76万人失业； ?We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression--760,000 workers have lost their jobs this year.?企业和家庭无法获得信贷；Businesses and families can't get credit.?房价不断下滑，养老金日益缩水；Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing.? 工资降到了十年来的最低水平，同时医疗和教育成本却涨到了有史以来的最高点。

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.? 在眼下这样的危急时刻，我们承受不起又一个四年的支出增长、千疮百孔的减税措施、或是监管全无──即使是美国联邦储备委员会前主席格林斯潘现在也承认那是个错误。美国需要一个新的方向。

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.这也正是我竞选美国总统的原因所在。

That's why I'm running for president of the United States.明天，也就是周二，你们将有能力赋予这个国家我们所需要的变革。?Tomorrow, you can give this country the change we need.我的竞选对手麦凯恩参议员为美国作出的贡献令人尊敬。

My opponent, Senator McCain, has served his country honorably.他甚至可以指出他过去曾有几次与自己的党派分道扬镳

He can even point to a few moments in the past where he has broken from his party.然而，在过去八年中，他十之八九都赞同布什总统的主张。

But over the past eight years, he's voted with President Bush 90% of the time.而在经济问题上，他仍然无法向美国民众说明，他与布什的做法会有什么太大区别。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.如果提出的税收计划没有让1亿多美国中产阶级获得一分钱的税项减免，这不是变革──即使是《国家评论》杂志和其他保守派组织也抱怨说，这个计划对造福中产阶级贡献寥寥。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.? 在近年来不断累积的财政赤字上再添5万亿美元，这不是变革。

It's not change to add more than $5 trillion to the deficits we've run up in recent years.如果解决房市危机的计划又将另外3,000亿美元纳税人的钱置于风险之中，这不是变革──《华尔街日报》编辑委员会称这一计划“产生的问题比解决的问题多”。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.' 如果说我们从此次经济危机中学到了什么的话，那就是我们要患难与共。

?If there's one thing we've learned from this economic crisis, it's that we are all in this together.从首席执行长到公司股东，从金融家到工厂工人，我们每个人都休戚相关，因为美国的民众越富足，美国才会越繁荣。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.这就是为什么我们有些企业巨头把提高员工薪酬作为自己的一项使命，让员工能买得起自己生产的产品，比如巴菲特这样的商界人士。我对能有他的支持感到自豪。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.这就是为什么美国经济不仅是世界上最伟大的财富创造者，也是世界上最伟大的就业机会制造者。? That's why our economy hasn't just been the world's greatest wealth creator--it's been the world's greatest job generator.?它一直托举着有史以来规模最大的中产阶级之舟。

?It's been the tide that has lifted the boats of the largest middle class in history.为了重塑美国中产阶级，我将给予95%的工人及其家庭税收减免待遇。

To rebuild that middle class, I'll give a tax break to 95% of workers and their families.?如果你工作，就交税；如果年收入不足20万美元，你会获得减税；即使你的年收入超过了25万美元，你所负担的税率也比上世纪九十年代要低──资本利得税和股息税要比里根总统时期低三分之一。

?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 pidend taxes one-third lower than they were under President Reagan.?通过重建日益破败的基础设施、在美国的各个角落接通宽带，我们将创造200万个就业岗位。We'll create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and laying broadband lines that reach every corner of the country.?未来的十年中，我将每年在可再生能源领域投资150亿美元，进而新增500万个岗位；这些工作环保、薪酬丰厚、不能外包，而且能帮助我们摆脱对中东石油的依赖。

?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.?在医疗问题上，我们不必在政府运营的体系和目前这种我们难以负担的体系之间进行选择。When it comes to health care, we don't have to choose between a government-run system and the unaffordable one we have now.我的竞选对手提出的方案会令美国人有史以来首次为自己获得的医疗福利纳税。

?My opponent's plan would make you pay taxes on your health-care benefits for the first time in history.?我的计划则会让医疗保健成为每个美国人都负担得起、享受得到的服务。

?My plan will make health care affordable and accessible for every American.?根据我的计划，如果你已经有了医疗保险，你将看到的唯一一个变化是保费降低；如果你还没有医疗保险，你将能与国会议员们享受到同样的医疗福利。

?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.?为了让每个孩子享受到世界级的教育，让他们能在全球经济中竞争21世纪的工作岗位，我将投资早期教育，并且增加师资力量。?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.?不过，我同时也会要求更高的标准和更多的责任。

But I'll also demand higher standards and more accountability.我们向每个美国年轻人作出承诺：如果你致力于服务你的社区或是你的国家，我们将确保你能负担得起自己的学费。

?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.在国防安全问题上，我将负责任地结束伊拉克战争，这样我们就不必在这个国家享有巨额财政盈余的情况下每月却要在那里花费100亿美元。

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.为了美国的经济、美国的军队和伊拉克的长期稳定，现在是伊拉克人站出来的时候了。?For the sake of our economy, our military and the long-term stability of Iraq, it's time for the Iraqis to step up.?我将最终完成对本－拉登和基地组织恐怖分子的打击，正是这些人制造了9/11恐怖袭击，同时我还会建立新的合作关系、击退21世纪出现的威胁，恢复我们的道德威望，让美国仍然是地球上最后也是最好的希望。

? 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.?这些事情没有一件是轻而易举能办到的，也不是一朝一夕能完成的。?None of this will be easy.It won't happen overnight.?但是，我坚信我们能成功，因为我对美国深信不疑。

? But I believe we can do this because I believe in America.?是美国使我们的父辈相信，即使他们自己无法上大学，也可以每周积攒下一些钱来，让他们的孩子接受好的教育；即使他们不能拥有自己的企业，也可以通过努力工作让自己的孩子创办企业。

?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.?在美国历史的每个时刻，我们都勇敢地站起来面对挑战，因为我们从来没有忘记过这样一个基本真理：在美国，我们的命运并非天定，而是掌握在我们自己的手中。www.xiexiebang.com ?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.?所以，明天，我恳请你们书写美国下一个伟大的篇章。

? So tomorrow, I ask you to write our nation's next great chapter.?我恳请你们不只相信我带来变革的能力，还有你们自己的能力。

?I ask you to believe--not just in my ability to bring about change, but in yours.? ?明天，你们可以选择这样一种政策──向美国中产阶级进行投入、创造新的就业岗位、实现经济增长让人人都有成功的机会。

? 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.?你们可以选择希望而非恐惧、选择团结而非分裂、选择变革的希望而非墨守成规。

? You can choose hope over fear, unity over pision, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.?如果你们投我的票，我们将不仅赢得此次竞选，还将一起改变这个国家、改变这个世界。? If you give me your vote, we won't just win this election--together, we will change this country and change the world.

第四篇：奥巴马竞选演讲全文

篇一：2012年奥巴马竞选获胜连任演讲全文(中英文)奥巴马演讲全文（中英文）

奥巴马（美国总统当选人）：谢谢，非常感谢各位。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。

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。

我想要感谢每一个参与选举的美国人。无论你们是第一次投票，还是(排队)等了很长的时间才投上一票——顺便说一下我会解决这个问题。无论你是自己去投票站投的票，还是打电话投的票；无论你是投给奥巴马的人，还是投给罗姆尼的人，你都是为我们国家带来转变的力量。我刚刚同罗姆尼通过电话，我祝贺他们这次竞选所取得的成绩。

我们的选战也许非常激烈，但这正是因为我们深爱着这个国家，并且我们十分在意它的未来。从罗姆尼整个家庭，孙子辈，孩子辈，整个家庭都献给了美国，这种精神我们将永远铭记。几周之后我将会同罗姆尼坐在一起，讨论我们怎么样推动国家未来的发展。

我也感谢在过去四年辛苦奉献的搭档，也是美国最好的副总统，拜登先生。

我(之所以)成为现在的我，必须要感谢20年前与我结婚的女人。我想公开地表达：米歇尔，我从来没有像现在这样爱你！我为你感到非常非常的骄傲，我相信我们的国家也非常爱你，你是我们非常热爱的美国第一夫人。

萨莎和玛莉亚，我挚爱的女儿，你们两个是非常坚强也非常聪明的女性，就像你们的母亲一样，我对你们感到非常的骄傲，但是目前我觉得给你们养一条宠物狗就够了。

我还要感谢我的竞选团队和志愿者，他们是最好的，最棒的，而且是史上最棒的。有些人是第一次来听我的演说，有些人四年前就听了我的获胜演说，但是每个人对我来讲都是我的一分子，不管你做了什么，不管你去了哪里，你一定会记得我们今天晚上所创的历史，你会一生都感激今晚这个时刻，而且你们会一直记得有一个心怀感激的总统，谢谢你们一路以来对我的信任，我要感谢你们所做的每一件事情。正是因为有了你们，我才会一路坚持下来。我对此将永远感谢，不管你做的什么，你们所做的一切我都心怀感激，并且永远鸣谢。

我知道这些政治竞选，可能有时候看起来非常愚蠢，而且我们也听到很多人跟我们讲政治有的时候十分愚蠢，可能他只是利益的追求和冲突，但是如果你们真的有机会去和竞选活动上和人们谈论一些问题，或者你看到一些竞选团队，非常辛勤工作的志愿者们，你们的印

象会有所改观，因为你能够看到他们有多大的决心。他们也从大学毕业，并希望每一个孩子得到像他们一样的机会。大家会听到志愿者骄傲的声音，当他们看到当地的汽车生产商增加了就业的机会，他们会感到非常的骄傲。大家也会看到我们军人深深的爱国情意，他们守护着美国的安全，我们将保证他们回国之后不会再为找工作而烦恼。这就是我们现在所做的一切，这就是我们政治的目的，这也是为什么选举如此重要。

这并不是小事情，而是大事情，是至关重要的事情。我们这个拥有3亿人口的国家，民主的情绪可能十分复杂，可能十分混乱，每个人可能都有自己的观点，每个人都有自己深深的信仰，在我们经历艰难时刻，做出艰难抉择时，我们很自然会有冲突，会有情感的表达，但是我认为它不应当影响我们今晚的表现。这些争论正是我们自由的基础，我们永远不会忘记我们说话的时候，许多国家的人民仍然在冒着风险，希望能够找到解决问题的方法，希望能够争取投票的权利。

尽管我们有很多的分歧，大多数人都对美国有共同的希望，我们都希望我们的孩子能够上最好的学校，有最好的老师；我们的国家成为技术以及创新方面的领袖，并且创造更多的就业岗位和更多的企业。我希望我们的孩子不是负债累累，不会受到恐怖力量的威胁。我们也希望我们的国家是安全的，在全球受到尊重和羡慕，并且拥有全世界最强大、最优秀的军队。同时我们的国家也应该是充满信心的国家，结束战争，重塑人类的和平。

与此同时我们也希望自己的国家，有信心，并且能够不断推动每个人的自由、繁荣和发展，我们相信美国的慷慨和包容，美国的自由和开放，我们将伸开双手迎接那些移民的子女来到美国。我们相信在芝加哥任何一个孩子都可以看到他的希望，在北卡州那些想要成为科学家和医生的学生，想要成为工程师，甚至是总统的学生，这是我们共同要争取的未来，这是我们共同分享的愿景，这也是我们前进的方向。

我们有的时候会对于怎么样向前进有非常强烈的分歧，200年来，大家知道我们的进步一直不是直线的，也不是一帆风顺，我们伴随着很多分歧和不同。我们意识到我们有着共同的梦想，将会使我们结束僵局，努力的促成问题的解决。我们需要妥协，需要使我们国家的继续向前进，这样一种团结的力量是我们现在出发的基础。我们的经济正处于复苏期间，我们十年的战争也已经结束，我们的竞选也已经将告尾声，无论我是否赢得了你们的选票，我都倾听了你们的声音，我都从你们那里学到了很多东西，你们将会使我成为更好的总统。我将会记得你们的故事，你们的抗争，我将会更坚定的入主白宫，并且更坚定的完成未来的工作。

今晚，大家是为行动而不是为政治而投票，希望我们能够更关注你们的工作，而不是我的工作。在今后的几周，我将会与两党领袖会面应对我们的挑战，我们只能够共同应对挑战，减少我们的赤字，改善我们的移民体系，减少对外国石油的依赖，我们有很多工作要做。但是这不意味着你们的工作就结束了，在民主社会当中公民的作用并不因为投票而结束，你们

一定要问问自己，不是美国能为你们做什么，而是我能为美国做什么，我们要进行自我治理，自我约束，这是我们的原则，也是我们建国的理念。

我们这个国家是世界上最富有的国家，但并不是我们每个人富有，虽然我们的军队十分强大，但我们个人并不强大，我们的大学、我们的文化，虽然是全球最优秀的，但是却并不是说我们就是全球最优秀的。因为我们是一个多民族的国家，多样性的国家，但是在这样多样性的国家当中，我们有共同的愿景和共识。如果我们推卸责任，不为子孙后代负责，我们将不会是一个能够前进的国家。我们要承担我们的责任，热爱我们的国家，这也是使美国强大的原因。

我今天晚上充满了希望，因为我看到美国劳动人民的精神，还看到了那些商业人士所做的工作，提供了很多工作机会，而且我还看到那些失业的人民得到了帮助，我还看到战士们仍然守卫着我们的国家，因为他们也知道我们在支持着他们。我还看到新泽西纽约每个政党的领导人，都开始抛开他们的歧见，来探讨怎么从桑迪风暴中重建我们的家园。

我们还看到，几天前，俄亥俄州一个父亲说他有一个八岁的女儿，女孩的白血病使他的家庭一贫如洗，他们之前并没有得到医疗保障，后来他们受利于几个月前刚刚通过的医改方案，使他们能够支付起医疗费。我和这位父亲，还有他的女儿都见面了，当他说的时候，在场所有的父母都落泪了，因为我们知道，他的女儿也可能是我们的女儿，我们都希望自己的孩子未来充满光芒，这是每个父母的希望，这是我身为总统引以为豪的。

今晚，尽管我们经历了这么多的困难，尽管我们经历了这么多的挫折，我对未来格外充满信心，我对美国格外充满希望，我希望大家延续这种希望，我这里讲的并不是盲目的乐观，指的是我们对未来的挑战，我也没有说天真或者理想化的乐观情绪，我真正的希望，不管我们遇到多少的挫折，多少的困难，只有我们有勇气保持不断努力、不断斗争，不断勇往直前。

我相信我们我们能在取得成就的基础上取得新的机会，为美国的中产阶级提供新的希望，我相信我们能够继续延续我们建国者的承诺，不管你来自哪里，不管你的肤色是什么，不管你是黑人、白人、亚裔人，任何种族，不管你是同性恋，还是非同性恋，不管你是贫困的，还是富裕的，你都可以来到美国实现你的梦想。

我相信，我们可以共同迎来这样的未来，因为我们对未来是充满了希望，我们有雄心壮志，我们赢得的不仅仅是这一个选举，而且是一个未来，是美国的未来。我们将会作为一个整体，是美利坚合众国，而不是分成蓝色或者是红色，上帝会引导我们走向这条道路。并且我们相信，我们会成为世界上最伟大的国家，谢谢你们，上帝保佑美国！

姜声扬：我们刚刚看到的就是美国总统奥巴马，现在画面出现的是美国副总统拜登。奥巴马稍早前进行他的2012大选的胜选演讲，随后他的家人、妻子和两个孩子走出来，副总统拜登走出来，拜登副总统夫人，还有副总统的家人走上了民主党竞选总部的这个舞台上。他们向支持者挥手致以感谢，现在跟着出来的就是两位总统和副总统的家人。现场音乐声起，彩花四起，庆祝奥巴马连任成功。感觉特别像是一场摇滚音乐会，或者就是胜利者的一种感受。
