2012年11月7日奥巴马连任胜选演讲稿全文【中英】 　　Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. 　　谢谢，非常感谢各位。 　　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 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. 　　两百多年前，人民在这块曾经的殖民地上赢得了自己的命运；今夜，我们向实现完美联邦的目标又迈近了一步。这一步，是因为你们；这一步，是因为你们证明了克服战争和萧条的那种精神仍在，那份把我们国家从绝望的深渊带向希望之巅的精神。我们每个人都可以追逐自己的梦想。美国同胞血浓于水，作为一个国家和民族，我们共起落、同荣辱。Tonight in this election, you, the American people, remind us 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，美国人民们，提醒了我们：尽管路程艰辛，历程漫长，我们仍能振作精神，奋起反击。我们心中坚信，美利坚还没有迎来最好的时代。yet : (used after superlatives 用於最高级之後) made, produced, written, etc until and including now/then 直至现在[当时]（所制造﹑ 生产﹑ 书写等）: the most comprehensive study yet of his poetry 迄今为止对他的诗歌最全面的研究 * the highest building yet constructed 到现在为止最高的建筑物 * her best novel yet 她的最好的小说.[CHEERING] I want to thank every American who participated in this election [CHEERING] Whether you voted for the very first time or waiting 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.　　我想感谢每一位亲身参与大选的美国人。无论这是你的第一次投票，又或是在队伍中等待了很久。顺便说一句，排队这个问题真是亟待解决。无论你是步行前往，还是拿起电话；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，你也一样带来了改变。(phr v) pound along, down, up, etc move in the direction specified with heavy rapid steps 以沉重而快速的步伐朝某方向移动: The horses came pounding along
