奧巴馬演講譯文之文言文版

 　Hello，Chicago！

    芝城父老，別來(lái)無(wú)恙，

    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(kāi)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)。

    It‘s the answer spoken by young and old， rich and poor， Democrat and Republican， black， white， Hispanic， Asian， Native American， gay， straight， disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are， and always will be， the United States of America.

    今夕之釋然，皆仰吾國(guó)同胞之齊心——何談貧富老幼之差、黨社宗族之異，惶論發(fā)膚肌體之別、志趣愛(ài)惡之分。吾國(guó)既以“合眾”為名，吾輩則更無(wú)疏離之意，紅藍(lán)二黨并肩而立，數(shù)十邦州挽手相合，無(wú)分你我，共稱(chēng)一家，昂然于世，齊聲一呼，天下乃有此釋然。

    It‘s the answer 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.

    今夕之釋然，皆因憤懣者之鎮(zhèn)靜，憂懼者之勇氣，猶疑者之篤定——平素世間種種，消磨其志向，潰滅其夢(mèng)想，而值此風(fēng)云之際，除舊更新，當(dāng)仁不讓?zhuān)瑑A力而動(dòng)乾坤者，更何人哉！

    It‘s been a long time coming， but tonight， because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.

    俟之誠(chéng)久，其志彌堅(jiān)。幸天地明察，乃有今日，乃有此刻，乃有此一選舉，乃有我億萬(wàn)美利堅(jiān)大好國(guó)民——吾邦之大變革，方得自茲而始也！

    A little bit earlier this evening， I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.

    Sen. 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 Gov. Palin for all that they’ve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation‘s promise in the months ahead.

    頃接參議員麥君凱恩電，雖未得晤，幸有一談，其言諄諄，其意誠(chéng)誠(chéng)，鄙人感佩之至。選戰(zhàn)期內(nèi)，麥君勞碌幾重，奔波幾許，皆為國(guó)家計(jì)。諸般求索，時(shí)日良多，皆非余所能及。于國(guó)于民之驚人犧牲，亦非庸庸如吾輩者所可想見(jiàn)。以麥君之膽魄襟懷，能為吾邦所用，實(shí)國(guó)家之幸，萬(wàn)民之幸也。前途漫漫，其事未竟，余所盼矚由衷者，唯共麥凱恩君、佩林君，及諸賢士比肩，會(huì)吾等之綿力，成吾邦之大業(yè)。

    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 the train home to Delaware， the vice president-elect of the United States， Joe Biden.

    喬君拜登，亦吾所感銘至深者也。競(jìng)選之業(yè)，艱險(xiǎn)不足與外人道，幸有喬君之輔佐，其誠(chéng)天可鑒之。喬君其人，素言懇辭切，意篤情真，蓋嘗經(jīng)斯蘭克頓街鄉(xiāng)鄰之提命，飽聆特拉華州父老之晤教也。他日余既登總統(tǒng)之位，喬君必當(dāng)副之。

    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.

    拙荊米氏，追隨鄙人凡一十六年，既為愛(ài)侶，更為摯友，既為吾闔家之基石，又乃余終生之至愛(ài)。鄙人嘗自忖度，倘無(wú)賢妻若此，今朝闊論高談?dòng)诖颂幷撸�不知何人矣�?/p>
