Thanks very much, Barbara Mikulski, for your very eloquent, your eloquent introduction. Distinguished legislator, great spokeswoman for economic democracy and social justice in this country, I thank you for your eloquent introduction. Well, things worked out a little different from the way I thought, but let me tell you, I still love New York. My fellow Democrats and my fellow Americans, I have come here tonight not to argue as a candidate but to affirm a cause. 非常感谢芭芭拉·米库斯基，感谢你非常雄辩的、雄辩的介绍。杰出的立法者，伟大的经济民主和社会正义的代言人，我感谢你雄辩的介绍。事情的进展与我预想的有些不同，但让我告诉你，我仍然热爱纽约。各位民主党同仁，各位美国同胞，我今晚来到这里不是作为候选人来辩论，而是为了确认一项事业。
I'm asking you -- I am asking you to renew the commitment of the Democratic Party to economic justice. I am asking you to renew our commitment to a fair and lasting prosperity that can put America back to work. This is the cause that brought me into the campaign and that sustained me for nine months across a 100,000 miles in 40 different states. We had our losses, but the pain of our defeats is far, far less than the pain of the people that I have met. 我请求你们——我请求你们重新确认民主党对经济正义的承诺。我请求你们重新确认我们对公平持久繁荣的承诺，这种繁荣能让美国重新就业。这就是促使我参加竞选的事业，是这项事业在九个月里、跨越十万英里、在四十个不同的州支撑着我。我们经历过失败，但我们失败的痛苦远不及我所遇见的人们的痛苦。
We have learned that it is important to take issues seriously, but never to take ourselves too seriously. The serious issue before us tonight is the cause for which the Democratic Party has stood in its finest hours, the cause that keeps our Party young and makes it, in the second century of its age, the largest political Party in this republic and the longest lasting political Party on this planet. 我们认识到，认真对待问题很重要，但绝不要把自己太当回事。今晚摆在我们面前的严肃问题是民主党在最辉煌时刻所捍卫的事业，是让我们的党保持年轻、使其在第二个百年成为这个共和国最大的政党、也是这个星球上最持久政党的事业。
Our cause has been, since the days of Thomas Jefferson, the cause of the common man and the common woman. Our commitment has been, since the days of Andrew Jackson, to all those he called "the humble members of society -- the farmers, mechanics, and laborers." On this foundation we have defined our values, refined our policies, and refreshed our faith. Now I take the unusual step of carrying the cause and the commitment of my campaign personally to our national convention. I speak out of a deep sense of urgency about the anguish and anxiety I have seen across America. 自托马斯·杰斐逊时代以来，我们的事业一直是普通男女的事业。自安德鲁·杰克逊时代以来，我们的承诺一直指向他所称的"社会的卑微成员——农民、机械工和劳工"。在这一基础上，我们定义了价值观，完善了政策，更新了信念。现在，我采取不同寻常的步骤，将我竞选的事业和承诺亲自带到我们的全国代表大会上。我出于对美国各地所见痛苦与焦虑的深切紧迫感而发言。
I speak out of a deep belief in the ideals of the Democratic Party, and in the potential of that Party and of a President to make a difference. And I speak out of a deep trust in our capacity to proceed with boldness and a common vision that will feel and heal the suffering of our time and the divisions of our Party. 我出于对民主党理想的深刻信念而发言，出于对该党及总统能够带来改变的潜力的深刻信念而发言。我出于对我们以大胆和共同愿景前进的能力的深刻信任而发言，这一愿景将抚慰和治愈我们时代的苦难和我们党的分歧。
The economic plank of this platform on its face concerns only material things, but it is also a moral issue that I raise tonight. It has taken many forms over many years. In this campaign and in this country that we seek to lead, the challenge in 1980 is to give our voice and our vote for these fundamental democratic principles. 这个纲领的经济条款表面上只涉及物质问题，但它也是我今晚提出的道德问题。多年来它以多种形式出现。在这次竞选中，在我们寻求领导的这个国家里，1980年的挑战是为这些基本的民主原则发出我们的声音、投出我们的选票。
Let us pledge that we will never misuse unemployment, high interest rates, and human misery as false weapons against inflation. Let us pledge that employment will be the first priority of our economic policy. Let us pledge that there will be security for all those who are now at work, and let us pledge that there will be jobs for all who are out of work; and we will not compromise on the issues of jobs. 让我们发誓，我们永远不会滥用失业、高利率和人类苦难作为对抗通胀的虚假武器。让我们发誓，就业将成为我们经济政策的首要优先事项。让我们发誓，所有现在在职的人都将获得保障，让我们发誓，所有失业的人都将获得工作；我们不会在就业问题上妥协。
These are not simplistic pledges. Simply put, they are the heart of our tradition, and they have been the soul of our Party across the generations. It is the glory and the greatness of our tradition to speak for those who have no voice, to remember those who are forgotten, to respond to the frustrations and fulfill the aspirations of all Americans seeking a better life in a better land. We dare not forsake that tradition. We cannot let the great purposes of the Democratic Party become the bygone passages of history. 这些不是简单的誓言。简而言之，它们是我们传统的核心，是我们党世代相传的灵魂。为无声者发声，纪念被遗忘者，回应挫折并满足所有寻求在更美好国家过上更美好生活的美国人的抱负——这是我们传统的荣耀与伟大。我们绝不敢抛弃这一传统。我们不能让民主党的伟大目标成为历史的过眼云烟。
We must not permit the Republicans to seize and run on the slogans of prosperity. We heard the orators at their convention all trying to talk like Democrats. They proved that even Republican nominees can quote Franklin Roosevelt to their own purpose. The Grand Old Party thinks it has found a great new trick, but 40 years ago an earlier generation of Republicans attempted the same trick. 我们绝不允许共和党夺取并利用繁荣的口号。我们听到他们的代表大会上的演说家们都试图像民主党人一样说话。他们证明，即使是共和党提名人也能引用富兰克林·罗斯福来为自己的目的服务。大老党以为自己找到了一个绝佳的新把戏，但40年前上一代共和党人也尝试过同样的把戏。
And Franklin Roosevelt himself replied, "Most Republican leaders have bitterly fought and blocked the forward surge of average men and women in their pursuit of happiness. Let us not be deluded that overnight those leaders have suddenly become the friends of average men and women." "You know," he continued, "very few of us are that gullible." 富兰克林·罗斯福本人回应道："大多数共和党领导人曾激烈地斗争和阻挠普通男女在追求幸福道路上的前进浪潮。不要让我们被欺骗，以为这些领导人一夜之间就突然变成了普通男女的朋友。""你知道，"他继续说，"我们当中很少有人会那么容易上当受骗。"
And four years later when the Republicans tried that trick again, Franklin Roosevelt asked, "Can the Old Guard pass itself off as the New Deal? I think not. We have all seen many marvelous stunts in the circus, but no performing elephant could turn a handspring without falling flat on its back." 四年后，当共和党人再次尝试那个把戏时，富兰克林·罗斯福问道："老卫兵能把自己伪装成新政吗？我认为不能。我们都见过马戏团里许多精彩的绝活，但没有任何表演的大象能翻跟头而不四脚朝天摔倒。"
The 1980 Republican convention was awash with crocodile tears for our economic distress, but it is by their long record and not their recent words that you shall know them. The same Republicans who are talking about the crisis of unemployment have nominated a man who once said, and I quote, "Unemployment insurance is a prepaid vacation plan for freeloaders." And that nominee is no friend of labor. 1980年共和党全国代表大会上充满了对我们经济困境的鳄鱼眼泪，但你应通过他们长期的记录而非最近的言辞来认识他们。那些谈论失业危机的共和党人提名了一个曾经说——我引用——"失业保险是给白吃白喝者的预付度假计划"的人。而那位提名人不是劳工的朋友。
The same Republicans who are talking about the problems of the inner cities have nominated a man who said, and I quote, "I have included in my morning and evening prayers every day the prayer that the Federal Government not bail out New York." And that nominee is no friend of this city and our great urban centers across this nation. 那些谈论内城问题的共和党人提名了一个曾说——我引用——"我每天早晚的祈祷中都包括祈祷联邦政府不要救助纽约"的人。而那位提名人不是这座城市和我国各大城市中心的朋友。
The same Republicans who are talking about security for the elderly have nominated a man who said just four years ago that "Participation in social security should be made voluntary." And that nominee is no friend of the senior citizens of this nation. The same Republicans who are talking about preserving the environment have nominated a man who last year made the preposterous statement, and I quote, "Eighty percent of our air pollution comes from plants and trees." And that nominee is no friend of the environment. 那些谈论老年人保障的共和党人提名了一个四年前曾说"参与社会保障应该是自愿的"的人。而那位提名人不是这个国家老年公民的朋友。那些谈论保护环境的共和党人提名了一个去年发表荒谬声明——我引用——"我们80%的空气污染来自植物和树木"的人。而那位提名人不是环境的朋友。
And the same Republicans who are invoking Franklin Roosevelt have nominated a man who said in 1976, and these are his exact words, "Fascism was really the basis of the New Deal." And that nominee whose name is Ronald Reagan has no right to quote Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The great adventures which our opponents offer is a voyage into the past. Progress is our heritage, not theirs. What is right for us as Democrats is also the right way for Democrats to win. 那些援引富兰克林·罗斯福的共和党人提名了一个1976年曾说——这是他的原话——"法西斯主义实际上是新政的基础"的人。而那位名叫罗纳德·里根的提名人无权引用富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福。我们的对手所提供的伟大冒险是回到过去的航行。进步是我们的遗产，不是他们的。对我们民主党人来说正确的事，也是民主党人获胜的正确途径。
The commitment I seek is not to outworn views but to old values that will never wear out. Programs may sometimes become obsolete, but the ideal of fairness always endures. Circumstances may change, but the work of compassion must continue. It is surely correct that we cannot solve problems by throwing money at them, but it is also correct that we dare not throw out our national problems onto a scrap heap of inattention and indifference. 我所寻求的承诺不是对陈旧观点的承诺，而是对永远不会过时的古老价值的承诺。计划有时可能过时，但公平的理想永远长存。环境可能改变，但同情的工作必须继续。我们当然不能通过砸钱来解决问题，但同样正确的是，我们绝不敢把我们的国家问题扔到漠不关心的废料堆上。
The poor may be out of political fashion, but they are not without human needs. The middle class may be angry, but they have not lost the dream that all Americans can advance together. The demand of our people in 1980 is not for smaller government or bigger government but for better government. Some say that government is always bad and that spending for basic social programs is the root of our economic evils. But we reply: The present inflation and recession cost our economy 200 billion dollars a year. We reply: Inflation and unemployment are the biggest spenders of all. 穷人可能在政治上不合时宜，但他们并非没有人类需求。中产阶级可能愤怒，但他们没有失去所有美国人共同前进的梦想。1980年我们人民的要求不是更小或更大的政府，而是更好的政府。有人说政府总是坏的，基本社会项目的支出是我们经济罪恶的根源。但我们回应：目前的通胀和衰退每年使我们的经济损失2000亿美元。我们回应：通胀和失业才是最大的支出者。
The task of leadership in 1980 is not to parade scapegoats or to seek refuge in reaction, but to match our power to the possibilities of progress. While others talked of free enterprise, it was the Democratic Party that acted and we ended excessive regulation in the airline and trucking industry, and we restored competition to the marketplace. And I take some satisfaction that this deregulation legislation that I sponsored and passed in the Congress of the United States. 1980年领导的任务不是炫耀替罪羊或寻求退避的反应，而是将我们的力量与进步的可能性相匹配。当其他人谈论自由企业时，是民主党采取了行动，我们结束了航空和卡车运输业的过度监管，我们恢复了市场竞争力。我对此感到一些满意，这项放松管制的立法是我发起并在美国国会通过的。
As Democrats we recognize that each generation of Americans has a rendezvous with a different reality. The answers of one generation become the questions of the next generation. But there is a guiding star in the American firmament. It is as old as the revolutionary belief that all people are created equal, and as clear as the contemporary condition of Liberty City and the South Bronx. Again and again Democratic leaders have followed that star and they have given new meaning to the old values of liberty and justice for all. 作为民主党人，我们认识到每一代美国人都与不同的现实有约会。一代人的答案成为下一代人的问题。但在美国的苍穹中有一颗指路明星。它如同所有人被创造平等这一革命信念一样古老，又如同自由城和南布朗克斯当代状况一样清晰。一代又一代的民主党领导人追随这颗星，他们为所有人的自由与正义的古老价值赋予了新的含义。
We are the Party -- We are the Party of the New Freedom, the New Deal, and the New Frontier. We have always been the Party of hope. So this year let us offer new hope, new hope to an America uncertain about the present, but unsurpassed in its potential for the future. To all those who are idle in the cities and industries of America let us provide new hope for the dignity of useful work. Democrats have always believed that a basic civil right of all Americans is that their right to earn their own way. The Party of the people must always be the Party of full employment. 我们是党——我们是新自由、新政和新边界的党。我们一直是希望的党。所以今年让我们提供新的希望，为对美国当下不确定、但未来潜力无与伦比的美国提供新的希望。对所有在美国城市和工业中闲置的人，让我们为有尊严的有用工作提供新的希望。民主党人一直相信，所有美国人的基本公民权利是他们自食其力的权利。人民的党必须始终是充分就业的党。
To all those who doubt the future of our economy, let us provide new hope for the reindustrialization of America. And let our vision reach beyond the next election or the next year to a new generation of prosperity. If we could rebuild Germany and Japan after World War II, then surely we can reindustrialize our own nation and revive our inner cities in the 1980's. To all those who work hard for a living wage let us provide new hope that their price of their employment shall not be an unsafe workplace and a death at an earlier age. 对所有怀疑我们经济未来的人，让我们为美国的再工业化提供新的希望。让我们的视野超越下一次选举或下一年，看到新一代的繁荣。如果我们能在二战后重建德国和日本，那么我们肯定能在20世纪80年代重新工业化我们自己的国家、复兴我们的内城。对所有为维持生计工资而努力工作的人，让我们提供新的希望：他们就业的代价不应是不安全的工作场所和过早的死亡。
To all those who inhabit our land from California to the New York Island, from the Redwood Forest to the Gulf stream waters, let us provide new hope that prosperity shall not be purchased by poisoning the air, the rivers, and the natural resources that are the greatest gift of this continent. We must insist that our children and our grandchildren shall inherit a land which they can truly call America the beautiful. 对所有居住在我们这片土地上的人，从加利福尼亚到纽约岛，从红杉森林到墨西哥湾流水域，让我们提供新的希望：繁荣不应通过毒害空气、河流和这片大陆最伟大天赋的自然资源来换取。我们必须坚持，我们的子孙后代应继承一片他们能真正称之为美丽美国的土地。
To all those who see the worth of their work and their savings taken by inflation, let us offer new hope for a stable economy. We must meet the pressures of the present by invoking the full power of government to master increasing prices. In candor, we must say that the Federal budget can be balanced only by policies that bring us to a balanced prosperity of full employment and price restraint. 对所有看到自己的工作和储蓄价值被通胀吞噬的人，让我们为稳定的经济提供新的希望。我们必须通过召唤政府的全部力量来掌握不断上涨的价格，以应对当下的压力。坦率地说，我们必须说，联邦预算只能通过带给我们充分就业和价格约束的平衡繁荣的政策来平衡。
And to all those overburdened by an unfair tax structure, let us provide new hope for real tax reform. Instead of shutting down classrooms, let us shut off tax shelters. Instead of cutting out school lunches, let us cut off tax subsidies for expensive business lunches that are nothing more than food stamps for the rich. The tax cut of our Republican opponents takes the name of tax reform in vain. It is a wonderfully Republican idea that would redistribute income in the wrong direction. 对所有被不公平税收结构所累的人，让我们为真正的税收改革提供新的希望。与其关闭教室，不如让我们关闭避税天堂。与其取消学校午餐，不如让我们取消昂贵商务午餐的税收补贴——这些午餐不过是富人的食品券。我们共和党对手的减税法案徒有税收改革之名。它是一个绝妙的共和党主意，会将收入向错误的方向再分配。
It's good news for any of you with incomes over 200,000 dollars a year. For the few of you, it offers a pot of gold worth 14,000 dollars. But the Republican tax cut is bad news for the middle income families. For the many of you, they plan a pittance of 200 dollars a year, and that is not what the Democratic Party means when we say tax reform. The vast majority of Americans cannot afford this panacea from a Republican nominee who has denounced the progressive income tax as the invention of Karl Marx. 对你们中年收入超过20万美元的少数人来说，这是好消息。它为你们中少数人提供了一笔价值14000美元的意外之财。但共和党的减税对中等收入家庭来说是个坏消息。对你们中多数人来说，他们计划每年只给200美元的微薄金额，这不是我们民主党所说的税收改革。绝大多数美国人负担不起这位共和党提名人开出的万灵药，他曾谴责累进所得税是卡尔·马克思的发明。
I am afraid he has confused Karl Marx with Theodore Roosevelt -- that obscure Republican president who sought and fought for a tax system based on ability to pay. Theodore Roosevelt was not Karl Marx, and the Republican tax scheme is not tax reform. Finally, we cannot have a fair prosperity in isolation from a fair society. So I will continue to stand for a national health insurance. We must -- We must not surrender -- We must not surrender to the relentless medical inflation that can bankrupt almost anyone and that may soon break the budgets of government at every level. 恐怕他把卡尔·马克思和西奥多·罗斯福搞混了——那位默默无闻的共和党总统曾寻求并为基于纳税能力的税制而奋斗。西奥多·罗斯福不是卡尔·马克思，而共和党的税收方案不是税收改革。最后，我们不能脱离公平社会而拥有公平的繁荣。所以我将继续支持国家健康保险。我们不能——我们不能投降——我们不能向无情的医疗通胀投降，它几乎能让任何人破产，并可能很快打破各级政府的预算。
Let us insist on real controls over what doctors and hospitals can charge, and let us resolve that the state of a family's health shall never depend on the size of a family's wealth. The President, the Vice President, the members of Congress have a medical plan that meets their needs in full, and whenever senators and representatives catch a little cold, the Capitol physician will see them immediately, treat them promptly, fill a prescription on the spot. 让我们坚持对医生和医院收费的真正控制，让我们决心：一个家庭的健康状态永远不应取决于一个家庭的财富规模。总统、副总统、国会议员拥有的医疗计划完全满足他们的需求，每当参议员和众议员患小感冒时，国会医生会立即为他们看诊，及时治疗，当场开处方。
We do not get a bill even if we ask for it, and when do you think was the last time a member of Congress asked for a bill from the Federal Government? And I say again, as I have before, if health insurance is good enough for the President, the Vice President, the Congress of the United States, then it's good enough for you and every family in America. 即使我们主动要求，我们也拿不到账单，你认为上一位国会议员向联邦政府索要账单是什么时候？我再次重申，正如我之前所说，如果健康保险对总统、副总统、美国国会足够好，那么它对你们和美国的每个家庭就足够好。
There were some -- There were some who said we should be silent about our differences on issues during this convention, but the heritage of the Democratic Party has been a history of democracy. We fight hard because we care deeply about our principles and purposes. We did not flee this struggle. We welcome the contrast with the empty and expedient spectacle last month in Detroit where no nomination was contested, no question was debated, and no one dared to raise any doubt or dissent. Democrats can be proud that we chose a different course and a different platform. 有些人——有些人说我们在这次大会上应该对我们之间在问题上的分歧保持沉默，但民主党的遗产一直是民主的历史。我们激烈斗争，因为我们深切关心我们的原则和目标。我们没有逃避这场斗争。我们欢迎与上个月在底特律举行的空洞而权宜的闹剧形成对比——在那里没有提名竞争，没有问题辩论，没有人敢提出任何质疑或异议。民主党人可以为我们选择了不同的道路和不同的纲领而自豪。
We can be proud that our Party stands for investment in safe energy, instead of a nuclear future that may threaten the future itself. We must not permit the neighborhoods of America to be permanently shadowed by the fear of another Three Mile Island. We can be proud that our Party stands for a fair housing law to unlock the doors of discrimination once and for all. The American House will be divided against itself so long as there is prejudice against any American buying or renting a home. 我们可以自豪，我们的党主张投资于安全能源，而不是可能威胁未来本身的核未来。我们绝不允许美国的社区永远被另一次三里岛事故的恐惧所笼罩。我们可以自豪，我们的党主张公平住房法，以彻底打开歧视之门。只要有任何美国人在购买或租赁房屋时遭遇偏见，美国这个家庭就会分裂。
And we can be proud that our Party stands plainly and publicly and persistently for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Women hold their rightful place at our convention, and women must have their rightful place in the Constitution of the United States. On this issue we will not yield; we will not equivocate; we will not rationalize, explain, or excuse. We will stand for E.R.A. and for the recognition at long last that our nation was made up of founding mothers as well as founding fathers. 我们可以自豪，我们的党明确、公开且坚定地主张批准《平等权利修正案》。女性在我们的大会上占有应有的位置，女性必须在美国宪法中拥有应有的位置。在这个问题上我们不会退让；我们不会含糊其辞；我们不会辩解、解释或找借口。我们将捍卫《平等权利修正案》，并最终承认我们的国家由建国之母和建国之父共同组成。
A fair prosperity and a just society are within our vision and our grasp, and we do not have every answer. There are questions not yet asked, waiting for us in the recesses of the future. But of this much we can be certain because it is the lesson of all of our history: Together a President and the people can make a difference. I have found that faith still alive wherever I have traveled across this land. So let us reject the counsel of retreat and the call to reaction. Let us go forward in the knowledge that history only helps those who help themselves. 公平的繁荣和正义的社会在我们的视野和掌握之中，而我们并没有所有答案。有些问题尚未被提出，在未来的深处等待着我们。但这一点我们可以确定，因为这是我们全部历史的教训：总统与人民同心协力就能创造改变。无论我走到这片土地的何处，我都发现这种信念依然鲜活。所以让我们拒绝退缩的劝告和反应的召唤。让我们怀着历史只帮助那些自助之人的认识前进。
There will be setbacks and sacrifices in the years ahead; but I am convinced that we as a people are ready to give something back to our country in return for all it has given to us. Let this -- Let this be our commitment: Whatever sacrifices must be made will be shared and shared fairly. And let this be our confidence: At the end of our journey and always before us shines that ideal of liberty and justice for all. 前方的岁月中会有挫折和牺牲；但我深信，我们作为一个民族已经准备好回馈我们的国家，以报答国家给予我们的一切。让这——让这成为我们的承诺：必须做出的任何牺牲都将被分担并公平分担。让这成为我们的信心：在我们旅程的终点，自由与正义的理想永远在我们面前闪耀。
In closing, let me say a few words to all those that I have met and to all those who have supported me at this convention and across the country. There were hard hours on our journey, and often we sailed against the wind. But always we kept our rudder true, and there were so many of you who stayed the course and shared our hope. You gave your help; but even more, you gave your hearts. 最后，让我对所有我见过的人、对所有在这次大会和全国各地支持我的人说几句话。我们的旅程中有艰难时刻，我们常常逆风航行。但我们始终保持着正确的航向，你们中有那么多人坚持航程、分享我们的希望。你们给予了帮助；但更重要的是，你们付出了真心。
And because of you, this has been a happy campaign. You welcomed Joan, me, and our family into your homes and neighborhoods, your churches, your campuses, your union halls. And when I think back of all the miles and all the months and all the memories, I think of you. And I recall the poet's words, and I say: "What golden friends I had." Among you, my golden friends across this land, I have listened and learned. 因为你们，这是一场快乐的竞选。你们欢迎琼、我和我们的家人进入你们的家和社区、你们的教堂、你们的校园、你们的工会大厅。当我回想起所有的里程、所有的月份、所有的回忆时，我想到的就是你们。我回忆起诗人的话，我说："我曾有过多么金色的朋友。"在你们之中，在这片土地上我的金色朋友们之中，我倾听、我学习。
I have listened to Kenny Dubois, a glassblower in Charleston, West Virginia, who has ten children to support but has lost his job after 35 years, just three years short of qualifying for his pension. I have listened to the Trachta family who farm in Iowa and who wonder whether they can pass the good life and the good earth on to their children. I have listened to the grandmother in East Oakland who no longer has a phone to call her grandchildren because she gave it up to pay the rent on her small apartment. 我倾听了肯尼·杜波依斯的故事，他是西弗吉尼亚州查尔斯顿的一位玻璃吹制工，要抚养十个孩子，但在工作35年后失去了工作，离符合养老金资格只差三年。我倾听了特拉赫塔一家的故事，他们在爱荷华州务农，想知道他们能否将美好的生活和肥沃的土地传给他们的孩子。我倾听了一位东奥克兰祖母的故事，她不再有电话打给孙辈，因为她放弃电话来支付小公寓的租金。
I have listened to young workers out of work, to students without the tuition for college, and to families without the chance to own a home. I have seen the closed factories and the stalled assembly lines of Anderson, Indiana and South Gate, California, and I have seen too many, far too many idle men and women desperate to work. I have seen too many, far too many working families desperate to protect the value of their wages from the ravages of inflation. 我倾听了失业的年轻工人、交不起大学学费的学生和没有机会拥有自己家庭的美国人的声音。我看到了印第安纳州安德森和加利福尼亚州南门关闭的工厂和停滞的装配线，我看到了太多、太多的失业男女渴望工作。我看到了太多、太多的工薪家庭拼命保护他们的工资价值免受通胀的蹂躏。
Yet I have also sensed a yearning for a new hope among the people in every state where I have been. And I have felt it in their handshakes, I saw it in their faces, and I shall never forget the mothers who carried children to our rallies. I shall always remember the elderly who have lived in an America of high purpose and who believe that it can all happen again. Tonight, in their name, I have come here to speak for them. And for their sake, I ask you to stand with them. On their behalf I ask you to restate and reaffirm the timeless truth of our Party. 然而我也在我到过的每个州的人民中感受到了对新希望的渴望。我在他们的握手中感受到它，在他们的脸上看到它，我永远不会忘记那些带着孩子来参加我们集会的母亲们。我将永远铭记那些生活在一个有崇高目标的美国、并相信这一切都能再次发生的老年人。今晚，以他们的名义，我来到这里为他们发声。为了他们，我请求你们与他们站在一起。代表他们，我请求你们重申和再次确认我们党的永恒真理。
I congratulate President Carter on his victory here. I am -- I am confident that the Democratic Party will reunite on the basis of Democratic principles, and that together we will march towards a Democratic victory in 1980. And someday, long after this convention, long after the signs come down and the crowds stop cheering, and the bands stop playing, may it be said of our campaign that we kept the faith. May it be said of our Party in 1980 that we found our faith again. 我祝贺卡特总统在此获胜。我——我深信民主党将在民主原则的基础上重新团结，我们将共同迈向1980年民主党的胜利。未来的某一天，在这次大会很久之后，在标语被撤下、人群停止欢呼、乐队停止演奏之后，愿人们说我们的竞选保持了信念。愿人们说我们的党在1980年重新找到了信念。
And may it be said of us, both in dark passages and in bright days, in the words of Tennyson that my brothers quoted and loved, and that have special meaning for me now: 愿人们在黑暗的航程和光明的日子里说我们，用我兄弟们曾引用和喜爱的丁尼生的诗句，那些现在对我有特殊意义的话：
I am a part of all that I have met To [Tho] much is taken, much abides That which we are, we are -- One equal temper of heroic hearts Strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. 我是一切我所相遇之物的一部分 虽有大量被夺去，仍有大量存留 我们即是我们—— 一颗同样英勇之心 意志坚强 去奋斗、去探索、去寻找、绝不屈服。
For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end. For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die. 对我来说，几个小时前，这次竞选结束了。对于那些我们所关怀的人，事业继续，信念长存，希望依然活着，梦想永远不会消亡。
