2、鲜活，怀疑我们民主制度的力量是否依然强大，那么今晚一切都有了答案。Its 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 t
3、heir voice could be that difference.学校和教堂前排起的长队给了我们答案。排队的人数之多，在美国历史上前所未有。为了投票，他们等了长达三、四个小时。许多人一生中第一次投票，因为他们认为这一次肯定会不一样，认定他们的声音能让这次大选有别于以往。Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not di
4、sabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have neverbeen just a collection of individuals or a collection ofred states and blue states; we are, and always will be, the United States of America.无论年龄，无论贫富，无论民主党人或共和党人，无论黑人、白人，无论拉美裔、亚裔、印地安人, 无论同性恋、异性恋，无论残障人、健全人，所有的人，他们向全世界喊出了同一个声音：那就是我们永远
5、都不是一个松散的集体， “红州”与 “蓝州”的之间也没有明显的界限，我们是美利坚合众国，永远都是！Its 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
6、取得的成绩极尽讽刺、担忧和怀疑之能事。但这个答案能让这些人伸出手来把握历史，再次让它向着美好的明天延伸Its 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，但是今天，由于我们在今天，在这场大选，在这个具有决定性的时刻所做的，美国迎来了变革。A little bit earlier this evening .I received an

10、伴当选副总统乔?拜登。为了与他一起在斯克兰顿市街头长大、一起坐火车返回特拉华州的人们，拜登全心全意地竟选，他代表了这些普通人的声音。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 and the love of my life, the nations next first lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both

16、cord and the front porches of Charleston.我从来不是最有希望的候选人。起初，我们的资金不多，赞助人也不多。我们的竞选并非始于华盛顿的华丽大厅，而是起于德莫奈地区某家的后院、康科德地区的某家客厅、查尔斯顿地区的某家前廊。It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
