Hello, America! 你们好，美国！
Hello, Democrats! 你们好，民主党人！
So, twelve years ago tonight, I addressed this convention for the very first time. 十二年前的今晚，我第一次在这个大会上发表演讲。
You met my two little girls, Malia and Sasha -- now two amazing young women who just fill me with pride. You fell for my brilliant wife and partner Michelle, who has made me a better father and a better man; who’s gone on to inspire our nation as First Lady; and who somehow hasn’t aged a day. 你们认识了我的两个小女儿，玛莉亚和萨莎——如今她们已经成长为两位出色的年轻女性，让我无比自豪。你们爱上了我才华横溢的妻子和伙伴米歇尔，她让我成为更好的父亲、更好的男人；她作为第一夫人激励了整个国家；而且不知怎么的，她一点都没变老。
I -- I know the same can’t be said for me. My girls remind me all the time: "Wow, you’ve changed so much, daddy." And then they try to clean it up. Yeah. Not bad -- just more mature. 我——我知道我自己就不能这么说了。女儿们总是提醒我：「哇，爸爸，你变化好大。」然后她们又试图圆场。是啊，还不错——只是更成熟了。
And -- And it’s true: I -- I was so young that first time in Boston. And...look, I'll admit maybe a little nervous addressing such a big crowd. But I was filled with faith, faith in America -- the generous, bighearted, hopeful country that made my story, that made all of our stories possible. 而且——而且确实如此：第一次在波士顿时，我——我是那么年轻。而且……老实说，面对这么多人演讲，我承认当时可能有点紧张。但我心中充满信念，对美国的信念——这个慷慨、宽厚、充满希望的国家，成就了我的故事，也成就了我们所有人的故事。
A lot’s happened over the years. And while this nation has been tested by war, and it's been tested recession and all manner of challenges, I stand before you again tonight, after almost two terms as your President, to tell you I am more optimistic about the future of America than every before. 这些年发生了很多事。虽然这个国家经受了战争的考验，经受了经济衰退和各种挑战，但今晚，在担任了将近两届总统之后，我再次站在你们面前，告诉你们，我对美国的未来比以往任何时候都更加乐观。
How could I not be after all that we’ve achieved together? 在我们共同取得了这一切成就之后，我怎么可能不乐观呢？
After the worst recession in 80 years, we’ve fought our way back. We’ve seen deficits come down, 401k)s recover, an auto industry set new records, unemployment reach eight-year lows, and our businesses create 15 million new jobs. 经历了80年来最严重的经济衰退，我们奋力走出了困境。我们看到赤字下降、401k)退休账户恢复、汽车工业创下新纪录、失业率降至八年新低、企业创造了1500万个新就业岗位。
After a century of trying, we declared that health care in America is not a privilege for a few; it is a right for everybody. 经过一个世纪的努力，我们宣布，在美国，医疗保健不是少数人的特权，而是每个人的权利。
After decades of talk, we finally began to wean ourselves off foreign oil. We doubled our production of clean energy. 经过几十年的空谈，我们终于开始摆脱对外国石油的依赖。我们将清洁能源产量翻了一番。
We brought more of our troops home to their families. And we delivered justice to Osama bin Laden. 我们让更多的军人回到了家人身边。我们将奥萨马·本·拉登绳之以法。
Through diplomacy, we shut down Iran’s nuclear weapons program. 通过外交手段，我们终止了伊朗的核武器计划。
We opened up a new chapter with the people of Cuba; brought nearly 200 nations together around a climate agreement that could save this planet for our children. 我们与古巴人民开启了新的篇章；推动近200个国家共同达成一项气候协议，为我们的子孙后代拯救这个星球。
We put policies in place to help students with loans, protect consumers from fraud, cut veteran homelessness almost in half. 我们出台政策帮助学生偿还贷款、保护消费者免受欺诈、将退伍军人无家可归率减少了近一半。
And through countless acts of quiet courage, America learned that love has no limits, and marriage equality is now a reality across the land. 通过无数默默的勇敢行动，美国认识到爱没有界限，婚姻平权如今已在全国成为现实。
By so many measures, our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we started. And through every victory and every setback, I’ve insisted that change is never easy, and never quick; that we wouldn’t meet all of our challenges in one term, or one presidency, or even in one lifetime. 从诸多方面来看，我们的国家比我们刚上任时更加强大、更加繁荣。在每一次胜利和每一次挫折中，我始终坚信，变革从来都不是容易的，也从来都不是迅速的；我们不可能在一个任期内、一届总统任期内，甚至一生中解决所有的挑战。
So tonight, I’m here to tell you that, yes, we've still got more work to do -- more work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years. 所以今晚，我在这里告诉你们，没错，我们还有更多工作要做——为每一位仍需要好工作或加薪、带薪休假或体面退休的美国人而努力；为每一个需要更坚实的阶梯摆脱贫困或接受世界级教育的孩子而努力；为每一位尚未感受到过去七年半进步的人而努力。
We need to keep making our streets safer, and our criminal justice system fairer; our homeland more secure; our world more peaceful and sustainable for the next generation. We’re not done perfecting our union, or living up to our founding creed -- that all of us are created equal; all of use are free in the eyes of God. 我们需要继续让我们的街道更安全，让我们的刑事司法系统更公平；让我们的国土更安全；让我们的世界对下一代来说更加和平、更可持续。我们尚未完成完善我们联邦的使命，尚未践行我们的建国信条——人人生而平等；在上帝眼中，我们所有人都是自由的。
And that work involves a big choice this November. I think it's fair to say, this is not your typical election. It’s not just a choice between parties or policies -- the usual debates between left and right. This is a more fundamental choice -- about who we are as a people, and whether we stay true to this great American experiment in self-government. 而这项工作涉及今年十一月的一个重大抉择。我认为可以公平地说，这不是一次典型的选举。这不仅仅是政党或政策之间的选择——不是通常的左右之争。这是一个更根本的选择——关乎我们是谁、关乎我们是否忠于这个伟大的美国自治实验。
Look, we Democrats have always had plenty of differences with the Republican Party, and there’s nothing wrong with that; it’s precisely this contest of idea[s] that pushes our country forward. 听着，我们民主党人与共和党之间一直存在诸多分歧，这没什么不对的；正是这种思想的交锋推动着我们的国家前进。
But what we heard in Cleveland last week wasn’t particularly Republican -- and it sure wasn’t conservative. What we heard was a deeply pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other, and turn away from the rest of the world. There were no serious solutions to pressing problems -- just the fanning of resentment, and blame, and anger, and hate. And that is not the America I know. 但上周我们在克利夫兰听到的并不特别像共和党——当然也不是保守主义。我们听到的是一种极度悲观的国家愿景，在那里我们互相攻击，对世界其他地区退避三舍。没有针对紧迫问题的严肃解决方案——只有煽动怨恨、指责、愤怒和仇恨。那不是我所认识的美国。
The America I know is full of courage and optimism and ingenuity. The America I know is decent and generous. Sure, we have real anxieties about paying the bills, and protecting our kids, caring for a sick parent. We get frustrated with political gridlock, and worry about racial divisions. 我所认识的美国充满勇气、乐观和创造力。我所认识的美国是正派而慷慨的。当然，我们确实有真实的焦虑——担心付账单、担心保护孩子、照顾生病的父母。我们对政治僵局感到沮丧，对种族分歧感到担忧。
We are shocked and saddened by the madness of Orlando -- or Nice. There are pockets of America that never recovered from factory closures -- men who took pride in hard work and providing for their families who now feel forgotten; parents who wonder whether their kids will have the same opportunities that we had. 我们对奥兰多或尼斯的疯狂行径感到震惊和悲痛。美国有些地区从未从工厂倒闭中恢复过来——那些以辛勤工作和养家糊口为荣的男人如今感到被遗忘；父母们怀疑自己的孩子是否还能拥有我们曾经拥有的机会。
All of that is real. We are challenged to do better; to be better. 所有这些都是真实的。我们面临着做得更好、变得更好的挑战。
But as I’ve traveled this country, through all 50 states, as I’ve rejoiced with you and mourned with you, what I have also seen, more than anything, is what is right with America. I see people working hard and starting businesses. I see people teaching kids and serving our country. I see engineers inventing stuff, doctors coming up with new cures. I see a younger generation full of energy and new ideas, not constrained by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. 但当我走遍这个国家，走遍所有50个州，当我与你们一同欢庆、一同哀悼时，我所看到的，最重要的，是美国的闪光点。我看到人们辛勤工作、创业打拼。我看到人们教育孩子、报效国家。我看到工程师发明创造，医生找到新的疗法。我看到年轻一代充满活力和新思想，不受现状的束缚，随时准备抓住应有的机遇。
And most of all, I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together -- black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; young, old; gay, straight; men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance, under the same proud flag, to this big, bold country that we love. That's what I see. That's the America I know! 最重要的是，我看到来自各个政党、各种背景、各种信仰的美国人都相信，团结起来我们会更强大——黑人、白人、拉丁裔、亚裔、印第安原住民；年轻人、老年人；同性恋、异性恋；男人、女人、残障人士，都在同一面骄傲的旗帜下宣誓效忠，效忠于这个我们热爱的宏大而勇敢的国家。这就是我所看到的。这就是我所认识的美国！
And there is only one candidate in this race who believes in that future, has devoted her life to that future; a mother and a grandmother who would do anything to help our children thrive; a leader with real plans to break down barriers, and blast through glass ceilings, and widen the circle of opportunity to every single American -- the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton. 而在这场竞选中，只有一位候选人相信那样的未来，并将自己的一生奉献给那样的未来；一位母亲和祖母，她会不惜一切帮助我们的孩子茁壮成长；一位有真正计划的领袖，她会打破壁垒、冲破玻璃天花板、为每一个美国人拓宽机会的圈子——美国的下一任总统，希拉里·克林顿。
Audience: Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! 观众：希拉里！希拉里！希拉里！
President Obama: That's right! 奥巴马总统：没错！
Let me tell you, eight years ago, you may remember Hillary and I were rivals for the Democratic nomination. We battled for a year and a half. Let me tell you, it was tough, because Hillary was tough. I was worn out. She was doing everything I was doing, but just like Ginger Rogers, it was backwards in heels. And every time I thought I might have the race won, Hillary just came back stronger. 告诉你们吧，八年前，你们可能还记得，我和希拉里曾是民主党提名的竞争对手。我们角逐了一年半。告诉你们，那场竞争很激烈，因为希拉里很顽强。我累坏了。她做着我做的每一件事，但就像金吉·罗杰斯一样，是穿着高跟鞋倒着跳的。每次我以为自己稳操胜券时，希拉里总能更强势地回归。
But after it was all over, I asked Hillary to join my team. And she was a little surprised. Some of my staff was surprised. But ultimately she said yes -- because she knew that what was at stake was bigger than either of us. And for four years -- for four years, I had a front-row seat to her intelligence, her judgment, and her discipline. I came to realize that her unbelievable work ethic wasn’t for praise, it wasn’t for attention -- that she was in this for everyone who needs a champion. I understood that after all these years, she has never forgotten just who she’s fighting for. 但一切结束后，我邀请希拉里加入我的团队。她有点惊讶。我的一些幕僚也很惊讶。但她最终答应了——因为她知道，事关重大，比我们任何一个人都重要。四年来——整整四年，我近距离见证了她的智慧、她的判断力和她的自律。我逐渐意识到，她那令人难以置信的职业道德不是为了赞美，不是为了关注——而是为了每一个需要捍卫者的人。我明白，这么多年来，她从未忘记自己在为谁而战。
Hillary has still got the tenacity that she had as a young woman, working at the Children’s Defense Fund, going door-to-door to ultimately make sure kids with disabilities could get a quality education. 希拉里仍然拥有年轻时的那份坚韧，那时她在儿童保护基金会工作，挨家挨户走访，最终确保残疾儿童能够获得优质教育。
She’s still got the heart she showed as our First Lady, working with Congress to help push through a Children’s Health Insurance Program that to this day protects millions of kids. 她仍然拥有作为第一夫人时展现的那颗心，她与国会合作推动通过了儿童健康保险计划，时至今日仍保护着数百万儿童。
She’s still seared with the memory of every American she met who lost loved ones on 9/11 -- which is why, as a Senator from New York, she fought so hard for funding to help first responders, to help the city rebuild; why, as Secretary of State, she sat with me in the Situation Room and forcefully argued in favor of the mission that took out bin Laden. 她心中仍铭刻着每一位在9/11事件中失去亲人的美国人的记忆——正因如此，作为纽约州参议员，她奋力争取资金帮助急救人员、帮助城市重建；正因如此，作为国务卿，她与我一同坐在战情室里，力主执行击毙本·拉登的任务。
You know, nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the Oval Office. You can read about it. You can study it. But until you’ve sat at that desk, you don’t know what it’s like to manage a global crisis, or send young people to war. But Hillary has been in the room; she’s been part of those decisions. 你们知道，没有什么能真正让你为椭圆形办公室的要求做好准备。你可以阅读相关书籍，可以进行研究。但除非你坐在那张办公桌前，否则你不会知道应对一场全球危机是什么滋味，也不会知道派遣年轻人上战场是什么滋味。但希拉里曾在那个房间里；她是那些决策的参与者。
She knows what’s at stake in the decisions our government makes -- what’s at stake for the working family, for the senior citizen, or the small business owner, for the soldier, for the veteran. And even in the midst of crisis, she listens to people, and she keeps her cool, and she treats everybody with respect. And no matter how daunting the odds, no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits. 她知道我们政府的决策关乎什么——关乎工薪家庭、老年人、小企业主、士兵、退伍军人。即使在危机之中，她也倾听人民的声音，保持冷静，尊重每一个人。无论胜算多么渺茫，无论多少人试图将她击倒，她永远、永远不会放弃。
That is the Hillary I know. That’s the Hillary I’ve come to admire. And that’s why I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman -- not me, not Bill, nobody -- more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as President of the United States of America. 这就是我所认识的希拉里。这就是我逐渐敬佩的希拉里。正因如此，我可以自信地说，从来没有任何一个男人或女人——不是我，不是比尔，没有人——比希拉里·克林顿更有资格担任美利坚合众国总统。
I hope you don't mind, Bill, but I was just telling the truth, man. 比尔，希望你不要介意，但我只是在说实话而已。
And, by the way, in case you’re wondering about her judgment, take a look at her choice of running mate. Tim Kaine is as good a man, as humble and as committed a public servant as anybody that I know. I know his family. I love Anne. I love their kids. He will be a great Vice President. He will make Hillary a better President -- just like my dear friend and brother, Joe Biden, has made me a better President. 顺便说一句，如果你们对她的判断力有疑问，看看她选择的竞选搭档就知道了。蒂姆·凯恩是一个非常好的人，和我认识的任何人一样谦逊、一样致力于公共服务。我认识他的家人。我爱安妮。我爱他们的孩子。他会成为一位出色的副总统。他会让希拉里成为一位更好的总统——就像我亲爱的朋友和兄弟乔·拜登让我成为一位更好的总统一样。
Now, Hillary has real plans to address the concerns she’s heard from you on the campaign trail. She’s got specific ideas to invest in new jobs, to help workers share in their company’s profits, to help put kids in preschool and put students through college without taking on a ton of debt. That’s what leaders do. 希拉里有真正的计划来解决她在竞选路上从你们那里听到的关切。她有具体的构想：投资新就业岗位、帮助工人分享公司利润、让孩子上得起幼儿园、让学生不用背负巨额债务就能读完大学。这才是领袖该做的事。
And then there’s Donald Trump. 然后还有唐纳德·特朗普。
Audience: Booo -- 观众：嘘——
President Obama: Don't boo -- vote. 奥巴马总统：不要抱怨——去投票。
Audience: Don't boo, vote! Don't boo, vote! 观众：不要抱怨，去投票！不要抱怨，去投票！
President Obama: You know, the Donald is not really a plans guy. He’s not really a facts guy, either. He calls himself a business guy, which is true, but I have to say, I know plenty of businessmen and women who’ve achieved remarkable success without leaving a trail of lawsuits, and unpaid workers, and people feeling like they got cheated. 奥巴马总统：你们知道，唐纳德这人其实不是个做计划的人。他也不是个讲事实的人。他自称是生意人，这没错，但我得说，我认识很多取得非凡成功的商界男女，他们身后没有留下一连串的官司、欠薪工人和感觉被骗的人。
Does anyone really believe that a guy who’s spent his 70 years on this Earth showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be your champion? Your voice? 难道真有人相信，一个在地球上活了70年、对劳动人民毫无敬意的家伙，会突然成为你们的捍卫者？你们的代言人？
Audience: Nooo -- 观众：不会——
President Obama: If so, you should vote for him. But if you’re someone who’s truly concerned about paying your bills, if you're really concerned about pocketbook issues and seeing the economy grow, and creating more opportunity for everybody, then the choice isn’t even close. If you want someone with a lifelong track record of fighting for higher wages, and better benefits, and a fairer tax code, and a bigger voice for workers, and stronger regulations on Wall Street, then you should vote for Hillary Clinton. 奥巴马总统：如果是这样，那你们应该投票给他。但如果你真的关心付账单的问题，如果你真的关心经济问题和经济增长，以及为每个人创造更多机会，那么选择根本不言而喻。如果你想要一个毕生为提高工资、改善福利、更公平的税法、工人更大的话语权以及对华尔街更有力的监管而奋斗的人，那么你应该投票给希拉里·克林顿。
If you’re rightly concerned about who’s going to keep you and your family safe in a dangerous world, well, the choice is even clearer. Hillary Clinton is respected around the world -- not just by leaders, but by the people they serve. 如果你正当担忧谁能在这个危险的世界上保护你和你的家人，那么选择就更加明确了。希拉里·克林顿在全世界都受到尊重——不仅受领导人尊重，也受他们所服务的人民尊重。
I have to say this. People outside of the United States do not understand what’s going on in this election. They really don't. Because they know Hillary. They’ve seen her work. She’s worked closely with our intelligence teams, our diplomats, our military. She has the judgment and the experience and the temperament to meet the threat from terrorism. It’s not new to her. 我必须这么说。美国以外的人们不明白这次选举到底是怎么回事。他们真的不明白。因为他们了解希拉里。他们见过她的工作。她与我们的情报团队、外交官、军方密切合作过。她拥有应对恐怖主义威胁的判断力、经验和性情。这对她来说不是新鲜事。
Our troops have pounded ISIL without mercy, taking out their leaders, taking back territory. And I know Hillary won’t relent until ISIL is destroyed. She will finish the job. And she will do it without resorting to torture, or banning entire religions from entering our country. She is fit and she is ready to be the next Commander-in-Chief. 我们的军队毫不留情地打击了ISIL，击毙了他们的头目，夺回了领土。我知道希拉里不会罢休，直到ISIL被消灭。她会完成这项工作。而且她不会诉诸酷刑，也不会禁止整个宗教的信徒进入我们的国家。她能够胜任，她已经准备好成为下一任三军统帅。
Meanwhile, Donald Trump calls our military a disaster. Apparently, he doesn’t know the men and women who make up the strongest fighting force the world has ever known. He suggests America is weak. He must not hear the billions of men and women and children, from the Baltics to Burma, who still look to America to be the light of freedom and dignity and human rights. He cozies up to Putin, praises Saddam Hussein, tells our NATO allies that stood by our side after 9/11 that they have to pay up if they want our protection. 与此同时，唐纳德·特朗普称我们的军队是一场灾难。显然，他不认识组成这支世界上最强大战斗力量的男男女女。他暗示美国是软弱的。他一定没有听到，从波罗的海到缅甸，数十亿男女老少仍将美国视为自由、尊严和人权的灯塔。他讨好普京，称赞萨达姆·侯赛因，告诉那些在9/11后与我们站在一起的北约盟国，如果想要我们的保护就得掏钱。
Well, America’s promises do not come with a price tag. We meet our commitments. We bear our burdens. That’s one of the reasons why almost every country on Earth sees America as stronger and more respected today than they did eight years ago when I took office. 美国的承诺是没有价签的。我们履行承诺。我们承担责任。这就是为什么几乎世界上每个国家都认为，今天的美国比八年前我上任时更强大、更受尊敬。
America is already great. America is already strong. And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump. In fact, it doesn’t depend on any one person. And that, in the end, may be the biggest difference in this election -- the meaning of our democracy. 美国已经很伟大。美国已经很强大。我向你们保证，我们的力量、我们的伟大，并不取决于唐纳德·特朗普。事实上，它不取决于任何一个人。归根结底，这可能是这次选举中最大的分歧——关乎我们民主的意义。
Ronald Reagan called America “a shining city on a hill.” Donald Trump calls it “a divided crime scene” that only he can fix. It doesn’t matter to him that illegal immigration and the crime rate are as low as they’ve been in decades -- because he’s not actually offering any real solutions to those issues. He’s just offering slogans, and he’s offering fear. He’s betting that if he scares enough people, he might score just enough votes to win this election. 罗纳德·里根称美国为「山丘上的闪亮之城」。唐纳德·特朗普称它为「分裂的犯罪现场」，说只有他才能修复。对他来说，非法移民和犯罪率处于几十年来的最低水平并不重要——因为他并没有真正为这些问题提供任何实际的解决方案。他只是在喊口号，在散播恐惧。他在赌，如果他能吓到足够多的人，他可能刚好赢得足够的选票来赢下这次选举。
And that's another bet that Donald Trump will lose. And the reason he'll lose it is because he’s selling the American people short. We're not a fragile people. We're not a frightful people. Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. We don’t look to be ruled. Our power comes from those immortal declarations first put to paper right here in Philadelphia all those years ago: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that We the People, can form a more perfect union. 而这是唐纳德·特朗普会输掉的另一个赌注。他会输掉的原因是，他低估了美国人民。我们不是脆弱的人民。我们不是可吓的人民。我们的力量不来自某个自封的救世主，承诺只要我们按他的方式行事，他一个人就能恢复秩序。我们不指望被统治。我们的力量来自那些多年前就在费城首次写在纸上的不朽宣言：我们认为这些真理不言而喻，人人生而平等；我们人民能够组建一个更完美的联邦。
That's who we are. That’s our birthright -- the capacity to shape our own destiny. That’s what drove patriots to choose revolution over tyranny and our GIs to liberate a continent. It’s what gave women the courage to reach for the ballot, and marchers to cross a bridge in Selma, and workers to organize and fight for collective bargaining and better wages. 这就是我们。这是我们与生俱来的权利——塑造我们自己命运的能力。正是这种信念驱使爱国者选择革命而非暴政，驱使我们的士兵解放了一个大陆。正是这种信念给予女性争取选票的勇气，给予游行示威者跨越塞尔玛大桥的勇气，给予工人组织起来、为集体谈判和更高工资而斗争的勇气。
America has never been about what one person says he’ll do for us. It’s about what can be achieved by us, together through the hard and slow, and sometimes frustrating, but ultimately enduring work of self-government. 美国从来都不是关于一个人说他会为我们做什么。而是关于我们共同能够实现什么——通过艰难、缓慢、有时令人沮丧但最终持久的自治工作来实现。
And that’s what Hillary Clinton understands. She knows that this is a big, diverse country. She has seen it. She's traveled. She's talked to folks. And she understands that most issues are rarely black and white. She understands that even when you’re 100 percent right, getting things done requires compromise; that democracy doesn’t work if we constantly demonize each other. She knows that for progress to happen, we have to listen to each other, and see ourselves in each other, and fight for our principles but also fight to find common ground, no matter how elusive that may sometimes seem. 而这正是希拉里·克林顿所理解的。她知道这是一个庞大而多元的国家。她见过。她游历过。她和人们交谈过。她明白，大多数问题很少非黑即白。她明白，即使你百分之百正确，把事情做成也需要妥协；如果我们不断互相妖魔化，民主就无法运转。她知道，要取得进步，我们必须互相倾听，在彼此身上看到自己，为我们的原则而战，但也要为寻找共同点而战，无论那有时看起来多么遥不可及。
Hillary knows we can work through racial divides in this country when we realize the worry black parents feel when their son leaves the house isn’t so different than what a brave cop’s family feels when he puts on the blue and goes to work; that we can honor police and treat every community fairly. We can do that. And she knows -- she knows that acknowledging problems that have festered for decades isn’t making race relations worse -- it’s creating the possibility for people of goodwill to join and make things better. 希拉里知道，当我们意识到黑人父母在儿子出门时的担忧，与一位勇敢的警察穿上警服上班时家人的感受并没有那么不同时，我们就能弥合这个国家的种族分歧；我们既能尊重警察，也能公平对待每个社区。我们能做到。她知道——她知道，承认几十年来不断恶化的问题并不是在让种族关系变得更糟——而是在为善意的人们携手改善局面创造可能。
Hillary knows we can insist on a lawful and orderly immigration system while still seeing striving students and their toiling parents as loving families, not criminals or rapists; families that came here for the same reason our forebears came -- to work and to study, and to make a better life, in a place where we can talk and worship and love as we please. She knows their dream is quintessentially American, and the American Dream is something no wall will ever contain. These are the things that Hillary knows. 希拉里知道，我们可以坚持一个合法有序的移民制度，同时将努力奋斗的学生和他们辛劳的父母视为充满爱的家庭，而非罪犯或强奸犯；这些家庭来到这里的原因与我们的先辈相同——为了工作、学习，为了过上更好的生活，在一个我们可以自由言谈、自由信仰、自由相爱的地方。她知道他们的梦想是典型的美国梦，而美国梦是任何围墙都无法禁锢的。这些就是希拉里所知道的事情。
It can be frustrating, this business of democracy. Trust me, I know. Hillary knows, too. When the other side refuses to compromise, progress can stall. People are hurt by the inaction. Supporters can grow impatient and worry that you’re not trying hard enough; that you’ve maybe sold out. But I promise you, when we keep at it, when we change enough minds, when we deliver enough votes, then progress does happen. And if you doubt that, just ask the 20 million more people who have health care today. Just ask the Marine who proudly serves his country without hiding the husband that he loves. 民主这件事可能令人沮丧。相信我，我知道。希拉里也知道。当另一方拒绝妥协时，进步可能会停滞不前。人们因不作为而受到伤害。支持者可能会变得不耐烦，担心你不够努力；担心你可能妥协了。但我向你们保证，当我们坚持下去，当我们改变足够多的想法，当我们赢得足够多的选票时，进步就会发生。如果你对此有怀疑，问问如今多了2000万享有医保的人就知道了。问问那位自豪地为国效力、无需隐藏自己所爱丈夫的海军陆战队员就知道了。
Democracy works, America, but we got to want it -- not just during an election year, but all the days in between. 民主是有效的，美国，但我们必须想要它——不仅仅在选举年，而是在其间的每一天。
So if you agree that there’s too much inequality in our economy and too much money in our politics, we all need to be as vocal and as organized and as persistent as Bernie Sanders supporters have been during this election. We all need to get out and vote for Democrats up and down the ticket, and then hold them accountable until they get the job done. 所以，如果你同意我们的经济中存在太多不平等、我们的政治中存在太多金钱，我们所有人都需要像伯尼·桑德斯的支持者在这次选举中那样发声、组织和坚持。我们所有人都需要走出去，为民主党各级职位的候选人投票，然后追究他们的责任，直到他们把工作做好。
That's right -- feel the Bern! 没错——感受伯尼的力量！
If you want more justice in the justice system, then we’ve all got to vote -- not just for a President, but for mayors, and sheriffs, and state’s attorneys, and state legislators. That's where the criminal law is made. And we’ve got to work with police and protesters until laws and practices are changed. That's how democracy works. 如果你想要司法系统中有更多正义，那么我们都必须投票——不仅投总统，还要投市长、警长、州检察官和州议员。刑法就是在那里制定的。我们必须与警察和抗议者合作，直到法律和实践得到改变。民主就是这样运作的。
If you want to fight climate change, we’ve got to engage not only young people on college campuses, we've got to reach out to the coal miner who’s worried about taking care of his family, the single mom worried about gas prices. 如果你想应对气候变化，我们不仅要动员大学校园里的年轻人，还要接触那些担心养家糊口的煤矿工人、担心油价的单身母亲。
If you want to protect our kids and our cops from gun violence, we’ve got to get the vast majority of Americans, including gun owners, who agree on things like background checks to be just as vocal and just as determined as the gun lobby that blocks change through every funeral that we hold. That is how change happens. 如果你想保护我们的孩子和警察免受枪支暴力，我们必须让绝大多数美国人，包括枪支拥有者，在背景调查等问题上达成共识，让他们像每次葬礼后都阻止变革的枪支游说团体一样发声、一样坚定。变革就是这样发生的。
Look, Hillary has got her share of critics. She has been caricatured by the right and by some on the left. She has been accused of everything you can imagine -- and some things that you cannot. But she knows that’s what happens when you’re under a microscope for 40 years. 希拉里有不少批评者。她被右翼、也被一些左翼人士漫画化。她被指控了你能想象到的一切——甚至一些你想象不到的事。但她知道，当你被置于显微镜下40年时，这就是会发生的事。
She knows that sometimes during those 40 years she’s made mistakes -- just like I have; just like we all do. That’s what happens when we try. That’s what happens when you’re the kind of citizen Teddy Roosevelt once described -- not the timid souls who criticize from the sidelines, but someone “who is actually in the arena…who strives valiantly; who errs…but who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement.” 她知道，在这40年里，她有时也犯过错——就像我一样；就像我们所有人一样。这就是我们尝试时会发生的事。这就是当你成为西奥多·罗斯福曾经描述的那种公民时会发生的事——不是那些在场边批评的胆小灵魂，而是那个「真正身处竞技场上的人……他英勇奋斗；他犯错……但他在最好的情况下懂得了高成就的胜利。」
Hillary Clinton is that woman in the arena. She’s been there for us -- even if we haven’t always noticed. And if you’re serious about our democracy, you can’t afford to stay home just because she might not align with you on every issue. You’ve got to get in the arena with her, because democracy isn’t a spectator sport. America isn’t about “yes, he will.” It’s about “yes, we can.” And we’re going to carry Hillary to victory this fall, because that’s what the moment demands. 希拉里·克林顿就是那个竞技场上的女人。她一直在为我们而战——即使我们并不总是注意到。如果你真的关心我们的民主，你不能仅仅因为她可能不是在每个问题上都与你一致就待在家里。你必须和她一起走进竞技场，因为民主不是一项观赏运动。美国不是「是的，他会」。而是「是的，我们能」。我们将在今年秋天带领希拉里走向胜利，因为这是当下的要求。
Audience: Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can! 观众：是的，我们能！是的，我们能！是的，我们能！
President Obama: Yes, we can. Not "yes, she can." Not "yes, I can." "Yes, we can." 奥巴马总统：是的，我们能。不是「是的，她能」。不是「是的，我能」。「是的，我们能」。
You know, there’s been a lot of talk in this campaign about what America has lost -- people who tell us that our way of life is being undermined by pernicious changes and dark forces beyond our control. They tell voters there’s a “real America” out there that must be restored. This isn’t an idea, by the way, that started with Donald Trump. It’s been peddled by politicians for a long time -- probably from the start of our Republic. 你们知道，在这场竞选中有很多关于美国失去了什么的言论——有人告诉我们，我们的生活方式正被有害的变化和我们无法控制的黑暗势力所破坏。他们告诉选民，有一个「真正的美国」需要被恢复。顺便说一句，这个想法并非始于唐纳德·特朗普。政客们兜售这套已经很久了——大概从我们共和国成立之初就开始了。
And it’s got me thinking about the story I told you 12 years ago tonight, about my Kansas grandparents and the things they taught me when I was growing up. See, my grandparents, they came from the heartland. Their ancestors began settling there about 200 years ago. I don’t know if they have their birth certificates -- but they were there. They were Scotch-Irish mostly -- farmers, teachers, ranch hands, pharmacists, oil rig workers. Hardy, small town folks. Some were Democrats, but a lot of them -- maybe even most of them -- were Republicans. Party of Lincoln. 这让我想起了十二年前的今晚我给你们讲的故事，关于我堪萨斯州的外祖父母，以及我成长过程中他们教给我的东西。你看，我的外祖父母来自美国腹地。他们的祖先大约200年前开始在那里定居。我不知道他们有没有出生证明——但他们确实在那里。他们大多是苏格兰-爱尔兰裔——农民、教师、牧场工人、药剂师、石油钻井工人。吃苦耐劳的小镇居民。有些是民主党人，但很多人——也许甚至大多数人——是共和党人。林肯的党。
And my grandparents explained that folks in these parts, they didn’t like show-offs. They didn’t admire braggarts or bullies. They didn’t respect mean-spiritedness, or folks who were always looking for shortcuts in life. Instead, what they valued were traits like honesty and hard work, kindness, courtesy, humility, responsibility, helping each other out. That’s what they believed in. True things. Things that last. The things we try to teach our kids. 我的外祖父母解释说，那些地方的人不喜欢爱炫耀的人。他们不钦佩吹牛者或欺凌者。他们不尊重心胸狭窄的人，也不尊重总是在生活中找捷径的人。相反，他们看重的是诚实、勤奋、善良、礼貌、谦逊、责任感、互相帮助这些品质。这就是他们的信仰。真实的东西。持久的东西。我们努力教给孩子的东西。
And what my grandparents understood was that these values weren’t limited to Kansas. They weren’t limited to small towns. These values could travel to Hawaii. They could travel even to the other side of the world, where my mother would end up working to help poor women get a better life; trying to apply those values. 而我的外祖父母明白，这些价值观并不局限于堪萨斯。它们不局限于小镇。这些价值观可以传到夏威夷。它们甚至可以传到世界的另一端，在那里，我的母亲最终致力于帮助贫困妇女改善生活；努力践行那些价值观。
My grandparents knew these values weren’t reserved for one race. They could be passed down to a half-Kenyan grandson, or a half-Asian granddaughter. In fact, they were the same values Michelle’s parents, the descendants of slaves, taught their own kids, living in a bungalow on the South Side of Chicago. They knew these values were exactly what drew immigrants here, and they believed that the children of those immigrants were just as American as their own, whether they wore a cowboy hat or a yarmulke, a baseball cap or a hijab. 我的外祖父母知道，这些价值观不为某一个种族所独有。它们可以传给半个肯尼亚血统的孙子，也可以传给半个亚洲血统的孙女。事实上，米歇尔的父母——奴隶的后裔——在芝加哥南区的小平房里教导他们自己孩子的，也是同样的价值观。他们知道，正是这些价值观吸引了移民来到这里，他们相信，那些移民的孩子和他们自己的孩子一样，都是美国人，无论他们戴的是牛仔帽还是圆顶小帽，是棒球帽还是希贾布。
America has changed over the years. But these values that my grandparents taught me -- they haven’t gone anywhere. They’re as strong as ever, still cherished by people of every party, every race, every faith. They live on in each of us. What makes us American, what makes us patriots is what’s in here. That’s what matters. 这些年来美国发生了变化。但我外祖父母教给我的这些价值观——它们从未消失。它们一如既往地强大，仍然被每个政党、每个种族、每个信仰的人所珍视。它们活在我们每个人心中。让我们成为美国人、让我们成为爱国者的，是我们心中的东西。这才是最重要的。
And that’s why we can take the food and music and holidays and styles of other countries, and blend it into something uniquely our own. That’s why we can attract strivers and entrepreneurs from around the globe to build new factories and create new industries here. That’s why our military can look the way it does -- every shade of humanity, forged into common service. That’s why anyone who threatens our values, whether fascists or communists or jihadists or homegrown demagogues, will always fail in the end. 正因如此，我们可以吸收其他国家的食物、音乐、节日和风格，将其融合成独特的我们自己的东西。正因如此，我们能够吸引来自全球的奋斗者和企业家在这里建立新工厂、创造新产业。正因如此，我们的军队才是现在这个样子——各色人种，在共同的服役中熔铸在一起。正因如此，任何威胁我们价值观的人，无论是法西斯主义者、共产主义者、圣战分子还是本土煽动家，最终都将失败。
That is America. That is America. Those bonds of affection; that common creed. We don’t fear the future; we shape it. We embrace it, as one people, stronger together than we are on our own. That’s what Hillary Clinton understands -- this fighter, this stateswoman, this mother and grandmother, this public servant, this patriot -- that’s the America she’s fighting for. 这就是美国。这就是美国。那些情感的纽带；那个共同的信条。我们不惧怕未来；我们塑造未来。我们拥抱未来，作为一个民族，团结起来比孤军奋战更强大。这就是希拉里·克林顿所理解的——这位斗士、这位政治家、这位母亲和祖母、这位公仆、这位爱国者——这就是她为之奋斗的美国。
And that is why I have confidence, as I leave this stage tonight, that the Democratic Party is in good hands. My time in this office, it hasn’t fixed everything. As much as we’ve done, there’s still so much I want to do. But for all the tough lessons I’ve had to learn, for all the places where I’ve fallen short -- I’ve told Hillary, and I’ll tell you, what’s picked me back up every single time: It’s been you. The American people. 正因如此，当我今晚走下这个舞台时，我有信心，民主党正掌握在可靠的人手中。我在这任上的时光并没有解决所有问题。尽管我们做了这么多，仍有那么多我想做的事还没做。但在我学到的所有惨痛教训中，在我所有力有不逮的地方——我告诉过希拉里，我也会告诉你们，每一次让我重新振作的，都是你们。美国人民。
It’s the letter I keep on my wall from a survivor in Ohio who twice almost lost everything to cancer, but urged me to keep fighting for health care reform, even when the battle seemed lost. Do not quit. 是我挂在墙上的那封信，来自俄亥俄州的一位癌症幸存者，她两次差点因癌症失去一切，但仍敦促我继续为医疗改革而战，即使在战斗似乎失败的时候。不要放弃。
It’s the painting I keep in my private office, a big-eyed, green owl with blue wings, made by a seven year-old girl who was taken from us in Newtown, given to me by her parents so I wouldn’t forget -- a reminder of all the parents who have turned their grief into action. 是我放在私人办公室里的那幅画，一只大眼睛的绿色猫头鹰，长着蓝色的翅膀，是一个七岁的小女孩画的，她在纽敦惨案中离开了我们，她的父母把这幅画送给我，让我不要忘记——提醒所有将悲痛化为行动的父母。
It’s the small business owner in Colorado who cut most of his own salary so he wouldn’t have to lay off any of his workers in the recession -- because, he said, “that wouldn’t have been in the spirit of America.” 是科罗拉多州的那位小企业主，他在经济衰退中削减了自己大部分的薪水，这样他就不必裁掉任何一名工人——因为，他说，「那不符合美国精神。」
It’s the conservative in Texas who said he disagreed with me on everything, but he appreciated that, like him, I try to be a good dad. 是得克萨斯州的那位保守派人士，他说他在所有事情上都不同意我的观点，但他欣赏我像他一样，努力做一个好父亲。
It’s the courage of the young soldier from Arizona who nearly died on the battlefield in Afghanistan, but who has learned to speak again and walk again -- and earlier this year, stepped through the door of the Oval Office on his own power, to salute and shake my hand. 是那位来自亚利桑那州的年轻士兵的勇气，他在阿富汗战场上几乎丧命，但他学会了重新说话、重新走路——今年早些时候，他凭借自己的力量走进椭圆形办公室的大门，向我敬礼并与我握手。
It is every American who believed we could change this country for the better, so many of you who’d never been involved in politics, who picked up phones and hit the streets, and used the Internet in amazing new ways that I didn’t really understand, but made change happen. You are the best organizers on the planet, and I am so proud of all the change that you made possible. 是每一个相信我们可以让这个国家变得更好的美国人，你们中的许多人从未参与过政治，你们拿起电话、走上街头，以我并不真正理解的惊人新方式使用互联网，但让变革发生了。你们是地球上最出色的组织者，我为你们促成的所有改变感到无比自豪。
Time and again, you’ve picked me up. And I hope, sometimes, I picked you up, too. And tonight, I ask you to do for Hillary Clinton what you did for me. I ask you to carry her the same way you carried me. Because you're who I was talking about 12 years ago when I talked about hope. It’s been you who fueled my dogged faith in our future, even when the odds were great; even when the road is long. Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope. 一次又一次，是你们让我振作起来。我希望，有时候，我也让你们振作了起来。今晚，我请求你们为希拉里·克林顿做你们曾为我做的事。我请求你们像扶持我一样扶持她。因为十二年前我谈论希望时，我说的就是你们。是你们滋养了我对未来的坚定信念，即使在胜算渺茫时；即使在道路漫长时。在困难面前怀抱希望。在不确定性面前怀抱希望。无畏的希望。
America, you've vindicated that hope these past eight years. And now I’m ready to pass the baton and do my part as a private citizen. So this year, in this election, I’m asking you to join me -- to reject cynicism and reject fear, and to summon what is best in us; to elect Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States, and show the world we still believe in the promise of this great nation. 美国，在过去八年里，你们证明了那份希望是正确的。现在我准备好传递接力棒，作为一名普通公民尽我的一份力。所以今年，在这次选举中，我请求你们加入我——拒绝犬儒主义，拒绝恐惧，唤起我们心中最美好的东西；选举希拉里·克林顿为美国下一任总统，向世界展示我们仍然相信这个伟大国家的承诺。
Thank you for this incredible journey. Let’s keep it going. 谢谢你们陪我走过这段非凡的旅程。让我们继续前进。
God bless you. 上帝保佑你们。
God bless the United States of America. 上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
