Tonight we come together bound by our faith in a mighty God, with genuine respect and love for our country, and inheriting the legacy of a great Party, the Democratic Party, which is the best hope for redirecting our nation on a more humane, just, and peaceful course. 今晚，我们怀着对全能上帝的信仰、对祖国真诚的敬意和热爱，继承伟大政党——民主党的遗产，聚集在一起。民主党是引导我们国家走上更加人道、公正与和平道路的最佳希望。
This is not a perfect party. We are not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission. Our mission: to feed the hungry; to clothe the naked; to house the homeless; to teach the illiterate; to provide jobs for the jobless; and to choose the human race over the nuclear race. 这不是一个完美的政党。我们也不是完美的人民。然而，我们被赋予了一项完美的使命。我们的使命是：为饥饿者提供食物；为衣不蔽体者提供衣物；为无家可归者提供住所；为文盲提供教育；为失业者创造就业；选择人类种族而非核竞赛。
We are gathered here this week to nominate a candidate and adopt a platform which will expand, unify, direct, and inspire our Party and the nation to fulfill this mission. My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected, and the despised. They are restless and seek relief. They have voted in record numbers. They have invested the faith, hope, and trust that they have in us. The Democratic Party must send them a signal that we care. I pledge my best not to let them down. 本周我们聚集在这里，提名一位候选人并通过一项纲领，这项纲领将扩大、统一、指引和激励我们的政党和国家去完成这一使命。我的选民是那些绝望的、被诅咒的、被剥夺继承权的、不被尊重的和被鄙视的人。他们焦躁不安，寻求解脱。他们以创纪录的人数投票。他们将信任、希望和信心寄托在我们身上。民主党必须向他们发出信号：我们关心他们。我承诺尽我最大努力不让他们失望。
There is the call of conscience, redemption, expansion, healing, and unity. Leadership must heed the call of conscience, redemption, expansion, healing, and unity, for they are the key to achieving our mission. Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things. 良知、救赎、扩展、治愈和团结在召唤着我们。领导层必须倾听良知、救赎、扩展、治愈和团结的召唤，因为它们是实现我们使命的关键。时间是中立的，不会改变事物。凭借勇气和主动性，领导人能够改变事物。
No generation can choose the age or circumstance in which it is born, but through leadership it can choose to make the age in which it is born an age of enlightenment, an age of jobs, and peace, and justice. Only leadership -- that intangible combination of gifts, the discipline, information, circumstance, courage, timing, will and divine inspiration -- can lead us out of the crisis in which we find ourselves. Leadership can mitigate the misery of our nation. 没有一代人可以选择自己出生的时代或环境，但通过领导力，它可以选择让自己出生的时代成为一个启蒙的时代，一个充满就业、和平与正义的时代。只有领导力——天赋、纪律、信息、环境、勇气、时机、意志和神圣灵感的无形结合——才能带领我们走出当前的危机。领导力可以减轻我们国家的痛苦。
Leadership can part the waters and lead our nation in the direction of the Promised Land. Leadership can lift the boats stuck at the bottom. 领导力可以分开红海，带领我们的国家走向应许之地。领导力可以托起搁浅在底部的船只。
I have had the rare opportunity to watch seven men, and then two, pour out their souls, offer their service, and heal and heed the call of duty to direct the course of our nation. There is a proper season for everything. There is a time to sow and a time to reap. There's a time to compete and a time to cooperate. 我有幸目睹七位男士，然后是两位，倾注他们的灵魂，奉献他们的服务，响应并履行职责的召唤，指引我们国家的航向。万事皆有其时。有播种之时，也有收获之时。有竞争之时，也有合作之时。
I ask for your vote on the first ballot as a vote for a new direction for this Party and this nation -- a vote of conviction, a vote of conscience. But I will be proud to support the nominee of this convention for the Presidency of the United States of America. Thank you. 我请求你们在第一轮投票中投我一票，作为对这个政党和这个国家新方向的投票——这是信念的投票，是良知的投票。但我将自豪地支持本次大会提名的美国总统候选人。谢谢你们。
I have watched the leadership of our party develop and grow. My respect for both Mr. Mondale and Mr. Hart is great. I have watched them struggle with the crosswinds and crossfires of being public servants, and I believe they will both continue to try to serve us faithfully. 我见证了我们政党领导层的发展和成长。我对蒙代尔先生和哈特先生都非常尊敬。我看到他们在作为公务员的狂风和炮火中挣扎，我相信他们都将继续努力忠实地为我们服务。
I am elated by the knowledge that for the first time in our history a woman, Geraldine Ferraro, will be recommended to share our ticket. 我很高兴地知道，在我们的历史上，第一次有一位女性杰拉尔丁·费拉罗将被推荐与我们共同竞选。
Throughout this campaign, I've tried to offer leadership to the Democratic Party and the nation. If, in my high moments, I have done some good, offered some service, shed some light, healed some wounds, rekindled some hope, or stirred someone from apathy and indifference, or in any way along the way helped somebody, then this campaign has not been in vain. 在整个竞选过程中，我努力为民主党和国家提供领导力。如果在我高光时刻，我做了一些好事，提供了一些服务，照亮了一些光芒，治愈了一些创伤，重新点燃了一些希望，或唤醒了某人从冷漠和麻木中振作起来，或者在任何方面帮助了某人，那么这次竞选就没有白费。
For friends who loved and cared for me, and for a God who spared me, and for a family who understood, I am eternally grateful. 对于爱我关心我的朋友们，对于保佑我的上帝，对于理解我的家人，我永远感激。
If, in my low moments, in word, deed or attitude, through some error of temper, taste, or tone, I have caused anyone discomfort, created pain, or revived someone's fears, that was not my truest self. If there were occasions when my grape turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, please forgive me. Charge it to my head and not to my heart. My head -- so limited in its finitude; my heart, which is boundless in its love for the human family. 如果在我低谷时刻，无论是言语、行为还是态度，由于脾气、品味或语调的某些失误，我给任何人带来了不适、造成了痛苦或重新唤起了某人的恐惧，那不是真正的我。如果有时我的葡萄变成了葡萄干，我的喜悦之铃失去了共鸣，请原谅我。归咎于我的头脑，而不是我的心。我的头脑——在其有限性中如此受限；我的心，对人类大家庭的爱是无限的。
I am not a perfect servant. I am a public servant doing my best against the odds. As I develop and serve, be patient: God is not finished with me yet. 我不是一个完美的仆人。我只是一个尽最大努力克服困难的公务员。在我成长和服务的过程中，请耐心：上帝还没有完成对我的塑造。
This campaign has taught me much; that leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain, and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving. 这次竞选教会了我很多：领导人必须坚强到足以战斗，温柔到足以哭泣，人性到足以犯错，谦卑到足以承认错误，强大到足以承受痛苦，坚韧到足以反弹并继续前进。
For leaders, the pain is often intense. But you must smile through your tears and keep moving with the faith that there is a brighter side somewhere. 对于领导人来说，痛苦往往是剧烈的。但你必须含泪微笑，带着信念继续前进，相信某个地方会有更光明的一面。
I went to see Hubert Humphrey three days before he died. He had just called Richard Nixon from his dying bed, and many people wondered why. And I asked him. He said, "Jesse, from this vantage point, the sun is setting in my life, all of the speeches, the political conventions, the crowds, and the great fights are behind me now. At a time like this you are forced to deal with your irreducible essence, forced to grapple with that which is really important to you. 休伯特·汉弗莱去世前三天，我去看望了他。他刚从临终床上给理查德·尼克松打电话，许多人想知道为什么。我问了他。他说："杰西，从这个角度看，我的生命正在日落，所有的演讲、政治大会、人群和伟大的斗争都已成为过去。在这样的时刻，你被迫面对你不可还原的本质，被迫与对你真正重要的东西搏斗。
And what I've concluded about life," Hubert Humphrey said, "When all is said and done, we must forgive each other, and redeem each other, and move on." 我对生活的结论是，"休伯特·汉弗莱说，"当一切都说完做完后，我们必须原谅彼此，救赎彼此，然后继续前进。"
Our party is emerging from one of its most hard fought battles for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in our history. But our healthy competition should make us better, not bitter. We must use the insight, wisdom, and experience of the late Hubert Humphrey as a balm for the wounds in our Party, this nation, and the world. We must forgive each other, redeem each other, regroup, and move one. Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow -- red, yellow, brown, black and white -- and we're all precious in God's sight. 我们的政党正在从历史上最激烈的民主党总统提名之战中走出来。但我们健康的竞争应该让我们变得更好，而不是更痛苦。我们必须用已故休伯特·汉弗莱的洞察力、智慧和经验作为治愈我们政党、这个国家和世界创伤的良药。我们必须原谅彼此，救赎彼此，重新集结，继续前进。我们的旗帜是红白蓝三色，但我们的国家是一道彩虹——红、黄、棕、黑、白——在上帝眼中，我们都同样珍贵。
America is not like a blanket -- one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt: many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread. The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay, and the disabled make up the American quilt. 美国不像一条毯子——一块完整的布，颜色相同，质地相同，尺寸相同。美国更像一床拼布被子：许多补丁、许多碎片、许多颜色、许多尺寸，都由一条共同的线编织和维系在一起。白人、西班牙裔、黑人、阿拉伯人、犹太人、妇女、美洲原住民、小农场主、商人、环保主义者、和平活动家、年轻人、老年人、女同性恋者、男同性恋者和残疾人构成了美国这床拼布被子。
Even in our fractured state, all of us count and fit somewhere. We have proven that we can survive without each other. But we have not proven that we can win and make progress without each other. We must come together. 即使在我们支离破碎的状态下，我们所有人都有价值，都在某个地方有自己的位置。我们已经证明我们可以在没有彼此的情况下生存。但我们还没有证明我们可以在没有彼此的情况下赢得胜利并取得进步。我们必须走到一起。
From Fannie Lou Hamer in Atlantic City in 1964 to the Rainbow Coalition in San Francisco today; from the Atlantic to the Pacific, we have experienced pain but progress, as we ended American apartheid laws. We got public accommodations. We secured voting rights. We obtained open housing, as young people got the right to vote. We lost Malcolm, Martin, Medgar, Bobby, John, and Viola. The team that got us here must be expanded, not abandoned. 从1964年大西洋城的范妮·卢·哈默到今天旧金山的彩虹联盟；从大西洋到太平洋，我们经历了痛苦但取得了进步，我们结束了美国的种族隔离法律。我们获得了公共住宿权。我们确保了投票权。我们获得了开放住房权，年轻人获得了投票权。我们失去了马尔科姆、马丁、梅德加、鲍比、约翰和维奥拉。带领我们走到今天的团队必须扩大，而不是放弃。
Twenty years ago, tears welled up in our eyes as the bodies of Schwerner, Goodman, and Chaney were dredged from the depths of a river in Mississippi. Twenty years later, our communities, black and Jewish, are in anguish, anger, and pain. Feelings have been hurt on both sides. There is a crisis in communications. Confusion is in the air. But we cannot afford to lose our way. We may agree to agree; or agree to disagree on issues; we must bring back civility to these tensions. 二十年前，当施沃纳、古德曼和钱尼的尸体从密西西比河深处被打捞出来时，我们眼中涌出了泪水。二十年后，我们的社区，黑人和犹太人，都处于痛苦、愤怒和伤痛之中。双方都受到了伤害。沟通出现了危机。混乱弥漫在空气中。但我们不能迷失方向。我们可以同意达成共识；或者同意在问题上存在分歧；我们必须恢复这些紧张关系中的文明。
We are co-partners in a long and rich religious history -- the Judeo-Christian traditions. Many blacks and Jews have a shared passion for social justice at home and peace abroad. We must seek a revival of the spirit, inspired by a new vision and new possibilities. We must return to higher ground. We are bound by Moses and Jesus, but also connected with Islam and Mohammed. These three great religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, were all born in the revered and holy city of Jerusalem. 我们在悠久丰富的宗教历史中是合作伙伴——犹太-基督教传统。许多黑人和犹太人对国内的社会正义和国外的和平有着共同的热情。我们必须寻求精神的复兴，以新的愿景和新的可能性为灵感。我们必须回到更高的境界。我们受摩西和耶稣的约束，但也与伊斯兰教和穆罕默德相连。犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教这三大宗教都诞生在受人尊敬的圣城耶路撒冷。
We are bound by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rabbi Abraham Heschel, crying out from their graves for us to reach common ground. We are bound by shared blood and shared sacrifices. We are much too intelligent, much too bound by our Judeo-Christian heritage, much too victimized by racism, sexism, militarism, and anti-Semitism, much too threatened as historical scapegoats to go on divided one from another. 我们受马丁·路德·金博士和亚伯拉罕·赫舍尔拉比的约束，他们从坟墓中呼喊着让我们找到共同点。我们受共同的鲜血和共同的牺牲的约束。我们太聪明了，太受犹太-基督教遗产的约束了，太受种族主义、性别歧视、军国主义和反犹太主义的迫害了，太受历史替罪羊的威胁了，不能继续彼此分裂。
We must turn from finger pointing to clasped hands. We must share our burdens and our joys with each other once again. We must turn to each other and not on each other and choose higher ground. 我们必须从互相指责转向紧握双手。我们必须再次彼此分担负担和分享喜悦。我们必须转向彼此，而不是攻击彼此，选择更高的境界。
Twenty years later, we cannot be satisfied by just restoring the old coalition. Old wine skins must make room for new wine. We must heal and expand. The Rainbow Coalition is making room for Arab Americans. They, too, know the pain and hurt of racial and religious rejection. They must not continue to be made pariahs. The Rainbow Coalition is making room for Hispanic Americans who this very night are living under the threat of the Simpson-Mazzoli bill; and farm workers from Ohio who are fighting the Campbell Soup Company with a boycott to achieve legitimate workers' rights. 二十年后，我们不能满足于仅仅恢复旧的联盟。旧酒囊必须为新酒腾出空间。我们必须治愈和扩展。彩虹联盟正在为阿拉伯裔美国人腾出空间。他们也知道种族和宗教排斥的痛苦和伤害。他们不能继续被当作贱民。彩虹联盟正在为西班牙裔美国人腾出空间，他们今晚正生活在辛普森-马佐利法案的威胁之下；以及正在通过抵制坎贝尔汤公司来争取合法工人权利的俄亥俄州农场工人。
The Rainbow is making room for the Native American, the most exploited people of all, a people with the greatest moral claim amongst us. We support them as they seek the restoration of their ancient land and claim amongst us. We support them as they seek the restoration of land and water rights, as they seek to preserve their ancestral homeland and the beauty of a land that was once all theirs. They can never receive a fair share for all they have given us. They must finally have a fair chance to develop their great resources and to preserve their people and their culture. 彩虹正在为美洲原住民腾出空间，他们是所有人群中最受剥削的，是我们中间拥有最大道德主张的民族。我们支持他们寻求恢复古老的土地和权利。我们支持他们寻求恢复土地和水权，寻求保护他们祖先的家园和曾经属于他们的美丽土地。他们永远无法获得公平的份额来补偿他们给予我们的一切。他们最终必须有公平的机会来开发他们的巨大资源，并保护他们的人民和文化。
The Rainbow Coalition includes Asian Americans, now being killed in our streets -- scapegoats for the failures of corporate, industrial, and economic policies. 彩虹联盟包括亚裔美国人，他们现在在我们的街道上被杀害——成为公司、工业和经济政策失败的替罪羊。
The Rainbow is making room for the young Americans. Twenty years ago, our young people were dying in a war for which they could not even vote. Twenty years later, young America has the power to stop a war in Central America and the responsibility to vote in great numbers. Young America must be politically active in 1984. The choice is war or peace. We must make room for young America. 彩虹正在为年轻的美国人腾出空间。二十年前，我们的年轻人在一场他们甚至没有投票权的战争中死去。二十年后，年轻的美国有力量阻止中美洲的战争，并有责任以大量人数投票。年轻的美国必须在1984年积极参与政治。选择是战争还是和平。我们必须为年轻的美国腾出空间。
The Rainbow includes disabled veterans. The color scheme fits in the Rainbow. The disabled have their handicap revealed and their genius concealed; while the able-bodied have their genius revealed and their disability concealed. But ultimately, we must judge people by their values and their contribution. Don't leave anybody out. I would rather have Roosevelt in a wheelchair than Reagan on a horse. 彩虹包括残疾退伍军人。配色方案适合彩虹。残疾人的缺陷被揭示，而他们的天赋被隐藏；而健全人的天赋被揭示，而他们的缺陷被隐藏。但最终，我们必须根据人们的价值观和贡献来评判他们。不要遗漏任何人。我宁愿让坐在轮椅上的罗斯福，也不愿让骑在马上的里根。
The Rainbow is making room for small farmers. They have suffered tremendously under the Reagan regime. They will either receive 90 percent parity or 100 percent charity. We must address their concerns and make room for them. The Rainbow includes lesbians and gays. No American citizen ought be denied equal protection from the law. 彩虹正在为小农场主腾出空间。他们在里根政权下遭受了巨大的痛苦。他们要么获得90%的平价，要么获得100%的慈善救济。我们必须解决他们的关切，为他们腾出空间。彩虹包括女同性恋者和男同性恋者。任何美国公民都不应被剥夺法律的平等保护。
We must be unusually committed and caring as we expand our family to include new members. All of us must be tolerant and understanding as the fears and anxieties of the rejected and the party leadership express themselves in many different ways. Too often what we call hate -- as if it were some deeply-rooted philosophy or strategy -- is simply ignorance, anxiety, paranoia, fear, and insecurity. To be strong leaders, we must be long-suffering as we seek to right the wrongs of our Party and our nation. We must expand our Party, heal our Party, and unify our Party. That is our mission in 1984. 当我们扩大我们的家庭以接纳新成员时，我们必须特别坚定和关心。当被排斥者和政党领导层的恐惧和焦虑以多种不同方式表达时，我们所有人都必须宽容和理解。我们常常称之为仇恨的东西——仿佛它是某种根深蒂固的哲学或策略——往往只是无知、焦虑、偏执、恐惧和不安全感。要成为强有力的领导者，我们必须在寻求纠正我们政党和国家的错误时保持耐心。我们必须扩大我们的政党，治愈我们的政党，并统一我们的政党。这是我们1984年的使命。
We are often reminded that we live in a great nation -- and we do. But it can be greater still. The Rainbow is mandating a new definition of greatness. We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but the manger up. Jesus said that we should not be judged by the bark we wear but by the fruit that we bear. Jesus said that we must measure greatness by how we treat the least of these. 我们经常被提醒我们生活在一个伟大的国家——确实如此。但它可以变得更加伟大。彩虹正在定义一种新的伟大。我们不应从大厦向下衡量伟大，而应从马槽向上衡量。耶稣说，我们不应以所穿的外衣来评判，而应以所结的果实来评判。耶稣说，我们必须以我们如何对待这些人中最卑微的人来衡量伟大。
President Reagan says the nation is in recovery. Those 90,000 corporations that made a profit last year but paid no federal taxes are recovering. The 37,000 military contractors who have benefited from Reagan's more than doubling of the military budget in peacetime, surely they are recovering. The big corporations and rich individuals who received the bulk of a three-year, multibillion tax cut from Mr. Reagan are recovering. But no such recovery is under way for the least of these. 里根总统说国家正在复苏。去年盈利但未缴纳联邦税的9万家公司正在复苏。从里根在和平时期将军事预算增加一倍以上中受益的3.7万家军事承包商，他们肯定正在复苏。从里根先生三年数十亿美元的减税中获得大部分好处的大公司和富有的个人正在复苏。但对于这些人中最卑微的人来说，并没有这样的复苏正在进行。
Rising tides don't lift all boats, particularly those stuck at the bottom. For the boats stuck at the bottom there's a misery index. This Administration has made life more miserable for the poor. Its attitude has been contemptuous. Its policies and programs have been cruel and unfair to working people. They must be held accountable in November for increasing infant mortality among the poor. In Detroit one of the great cities of the western world, babies are dying at the same rate as Honduras, the most underdeveloped nation in our hemisphere. 涨潮不会托起所有船只，特别是那些搁浅在底部的船只。对于搁浅在底部的船只来说，有一个痛苦指数。本届政府让穷人的生活更加痛苦。其态度是轻蔑的。其政策和计划对劳动人民是残酷和不公平的。在11月，他们必须为增加穷人中的婴儿死亡率负责。在底特律这个西方世界最伟大的城市之一，婴儿的死亡率与洪都拉斯——我们半球最不发达的国家——相同。
This Administration must be held accountable for policies that have contributed to the growing poverty in America. There are now 34 million people in poverty, 15 percent of our nation. 23 million are White; 11 million Black, Hispanic, Asian, and others -- mostly women and children. By the end of this year, there will be 41 million people in poverty. We cannot stand idly by. We must fight for a change now. 本届政府必须为导致美国贫困加剧的政策负责。现在有3400万人处于贫困之中，占我们国家的15%。2300万是白人；1100万是黑人、西班牙裔、亚裔和其他人——主要是妇女和儿童。到今年年底，将有4100万人处于贫困之中。我们不能袖手旁观。我们必须现在就为改变而战。
Under this regime we look at Social Security. The '81 budget cuts included nine permanent Social Security benefit cuts totaling 20 billion over five years. Small businesses have suffered under Reagan tax cuts. Only 18 percent of total business tax cuts went to them; 82 percent to big businesses. Health care under Mr. Reagan has already been sharply cut. Education under Mr. Reagan has been cut 25 percent. Under Mr. Reagan there are now 9.7 million female head families. They represent 16 percent of all families. 在这个政权下，我们看看社会保障。81年的预算削减包括九项永久性社会保障福利削减，五年总计200亿美元。小企业在里根减税政策下遭受了损失。只有18%的企业减税流向了他们；82%流向了大企业。里根先生执政下的医疗保健已经大幅削减。里根执政下的教育削减了25%。里根执政下现在有970万女性户主家庭。她们占所有家庭的16%。
Half of all of them are poor. 70 percent of all poor children live in a house headed by a woman, where there is no man. Under Mr. Reagan, the Administration has cleaned up only 6 of 546 priority toxic waste dumps. Farmers' real net income was only about half its level in 1979. 其中一半处于贫困之中。70%的贫困儿童生活在没有男性的女性户主家庭中。在里根执政下，政府只清理了546个优先有毒废物场中的6个。农民的实际净收入仅为1979年水平的一半左右。
Many say that the race in November will be decided in the South. President Reagan is depending on the conservative South to return him to office. But the South, I tell you, is unnaturally conservative. The South is the poorest region in our nation and, therefore, [has] the least to conserve. In his appeal to the South, Mr. Reagan is trying to substitute flags and prayer cloths for food, and clothing, and education, health care, and housing. 许多人说11月的选举将在南方决定。里根总统依靠保守的南方让他连任。但南方，我告诉你，是不自然地保守的。南方是我们国家最贫穷的地区，因此，最没有什么可保守的。在对南方的呼吁中，里根先生试图用旗帜和祈祷布来替代食物、衣物、教育、医疗保健和住房。
Mr. Reagan will ask us to pray, and I believe in prayer. I have come to this way by the power of prayer. But then, we must watch false prophecy. He cuts energy assistance to the poor, cuts breakfast programs from children, cuts lunch programs from children, cuts job training from children, and then says to an empty table, "Let us pray." Apparently, he is not familiar with the structure of a prayer. You thank the Lord for the food that you are about to receive, not the food that just left. I think that we should pray, but don't pray for the food that left. 里根先生会要求我们祈祷，我相信祈祷。我是通过祈祷的力量走到这一步的。但是，我们必须警惕虚假的预言。他削减对穷人的能源援助，削减儿童早餐计划，削减儿童午餐计划，削减儿童职业培训，然后对着一张空桌子说："让我们祈祷吧。"显然，他不熟悉祈祷的结构。你感谢主赐予你即将收到的食物，而不是刚刚离开的食物。我认为我们应该祈祷，但不要为离开的食物祈祷。
Pray for the man that took the food to leave. We need a change. We need a change in November. 祈祷让拿走食物的人离开。我们需要改变。我们需要在11月做出改变。
Under Mr. Reagan, the misery index has risen for the poor. The danger index has risen for everybody. Under this administration, we've lost the lives of our boys in Central America and Honduras, in Grenada, in Lebanon, in nuclear standoff in Europe. Under this Administration, one-third of our children believe they will die in a nuclear war. The danger index is increasing in this world. All the talk about the defense against Russia; the Russian submarines are closer, and their missiles are more accurate. We live in a world tonight more miserable and a world more dangerous. 在里根先生执政下，穷人的痛苦指数上升了。每个人的危险指数都上升了。在本届政府下，我们在中美洲和洪都拉斯、格林纳达、黎巴嫩失去了我们男孩的生命，在欧洲处于核对峙状态。在本届政府下，三分之一的儿童认为他们将死于核战争。这个世界的危险指数正在增加。所有关于防御俄罗斯的谈论；俄罗斯的潜艇更近了，他们的导弹更精确了。今晚我们生活在一个更加痛苦和更加危险的世界里。
While Reaganomics and Reaganism is talked about often, so often we miss the real meaning. Reaganism is a spirit, and Reaganomics represents the real economic facts of life. In 1980, Mr. George Bush, a man with reasonable access to Mr. Reagan, did an analysis of Mr. Reagan's economic plan. Mr. George Bush concluded that Reagan's plan was "voodoo economics." He was right. Third-party candidate John Anderson said "a combination of military spending, tax cuts, and a balanced budget by '84 would be accomplished with blue smoke and mirrors." They were both right. 虽然里根经济学和里根主义经常被谈论，但我们常常错过其真正的含义。里根主义是一种精神，而里根经济学代表了现实的经济事实。1980年，乔治·布什先生，一个能够接触到里根先生的人，对里根先生的经济计划进行了分析。乔治·布什先生得出结论，里根的计划是"巫毒经济学"。他是对的。第三方候选人约翰·安德森说"军事支出、减税和84年前平衡预算的结合将用蓝烟和镜子来完成。"他们都是对的。
Mr. Reagan talks about a dynamic recovery. There's some measure of recovery. Three and a half years later, unemployment has inched just below where it was when he took office in 1981. There are still 8.1 million people officially unemployed; 11 million working only part-time. Inflation has come down, but let's analyze for a moment who has paid the price for this superficial economic recovery. 里根先生谈论动态复苏。有一些复苏的迹象。三年半后，失业率刚刚略低于他1981年就职时的水平。官方统计仍有810万人失业；1100万人只从事兼职工作。通货膨胀有所下降，但让我们分析一下谁为这种表面上的经济复苏付出了代价。
Mr. Reagan curbed inflation by cutting consumer demand. He cut consumer demand with conscious and callous fiscal and monetary policies. He used the Federal budget to deliberately induce unemployment and curb social spending. He then weighed and supported tight monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board to deliberately drive up interest rates, again to curb consumer demand created through borrowing. 里根先生通过削减消费需求来抑制通货膨胀。他通过有意识和冷酷的财政和货币政策来削减消费需求。他利用联邦预算故意诱导失业并遏制社会支出。然后他支持联邦储备委员会的紧缩货币政策，故意推高利率，再次遏制通过借贷创造的消费需求。
Unemployment reached 10.7 percent. We experienced skyrocketing interest rates. Our dollar inflated abroad. There were record bank failures, record farm foreclosures, record business bankruptcies; record budget deficits, record trade deficits. 失业率达到了10.7%。我们经历了飙升的利率。我们的美元在国外膨胀。银行倒闭、农场止赎、企业破产创纪录；预算赤字、贸易逆差创纪录。
Mr. Reagan brought inflation down by destabilizing our economy and disrupting family life. He promised -- he promised in 1980 a balanced budget. But instead we now have a record 200 billion dollar budget deficit. Under Mr. Reagan, the cumulative budget deficit for his four years is more than the sum total of deficits from George Washington to Jimmy Carter combined. I tell you, we need a change. 里根先生通过破坏我们的经济和扰乱家庭生活来降低通货膨胀。他在1980年承诺——承诺平衡预算。但相反，我们现在有创纪录的2000亿美元预算赤字。在里根先生执政下，他四年的累积预算赤字超过了从乔治·华盛顿到吉米·卡特所有赤字的总和。我告诉你，我们需要改变。
How is he paying for these short-term jobs? Reagan's economic recovery is being financed by deficit spending -- 200 billion dollars a year. Military spending, a major cause of this deficit, is projected over the next five years to be nearly 2 trillion dollars, and will cost about 40,000 dollars for every taxpaying family. When the Government borrows 200 billion dollars annually to finance the deficit, this encourages the private sector to make its money off of interest rates as opposed to development and economic growth. 他如何为这些短期工作买单？里根的经济复苏是由赤字支出资助的——每年2000亿美元。军事支出是造成这一赤字的主要原因，预计未来五年将达到近2万亿美元，每个纳税家庭将花费约4万美元。当政府每年借入2000亿美元来为赤字融资时，这鼓励私营部门从利率中赚钱，而不是从发展和经济增长中赚钱。
Even money abroad, we don't have enough money domestically to finance the debt, so we are now borrowing money abroad, from foreign banks, governments and financial institutions: 40 billion dollars in 1983; 70-80 billion dollars in 1984 -- 40 percent of our total; over 100 billion dollars -- 50 percent of our total -- in 1985. By 1989, it is projected that 50 percent of all individual income taxes will be going just to pay for interest on that debt. The United States used to be the largest exporter of capital, but under Mr. Reagan we will quite likely become the largest debtor nation. 甚至在国外，我们国内没有足够的资金来为债务融资，所以我们现在从国外借钱，从外国银行、政府和金融机构：1983年400亿美元；1984年700-800亿美元——占我们总额的40%；1985年超过1000亿美元——占我们总额的50%。到1989年，预计50%的个人所得税将仅用于支付该债务的利息。美国曾经是最大的资本出口国，但在里根先生执政下，我们很可能成为最大的债务国。
About two weeks ago, on July the 4th, we celebrated our Declaration of Independence, yet every day supply-side economics is making our nation more economically dependent and less economically free. Five to six percent of our Gross National Product is now being eaten up with President Reagan's budget deficits. To depend on foreign military powers to protect our national security would be foolish, making us dependent and less secure. Yet, Reaganomics has us increasingly dependent on foreign economic sources. 大约两周前，在7月4日，我们庆祝了《独立宣言》，然而每天供应学派经济学都在使我们的国家在经济上更加依赖，在经济上更加不自由。里根总统的预算赤字现在吞噬了我们国民生产总值的5%至6%。依赖外国军事力量来保护我们的国家安全将是愚蠢的，使我们依赖并更加不安全。然而，里根经济学使我们越来越依赖外国经济来源。
This consumer-led but deficit-financed recovery is unbalanced and artificial. We have a challenge as Democrats to point a way out. 这种由消费者主导但由赤字融资的复苏是不平衡和人为的。作为民主党人，我们有责任指出一条出路。
Democracy guarantees opportunity, not success. 民主保证机会，而非成功。
Democracy guarantees the right to participate, not a license for either a majority or a minority to dominate. 民主保证参与的权利，而不是多数或少数人统治的许可证。
The victory for the Rainbow Coalition in the Platform debates today was not whether we won or lost, but that we raised the right issues. We could afford to lose the vote; issues are non-negotiable. We could not afford to avoid raising the right questions. Our self-respect and our moral integrity were at stake. Our heads are perhaps bloody, but not bowed. Our back is straight. We can go home and face our people. Our vision is clear. 今天在纲领辩论中，彩虹联盟的胜利不在于我们赢了还是输了，而在于我们提出了正确的问题。我们可以承受投票失败；问题是不容谈判的。我们不能承受避免提出正确的问题。我们的自尊和道德完整性处于危险之中。我们的头可能流着血，但没有低下。我们的背是挺直的。我们可以回家面对我们的人民。我们的愿景是清晰的。
When we think, on this journey from slave-ship to championship, that we have gone from the planks of the Boardwalk in Atlantic City in 1964 to fighting to help write the planks in the platform in San Francisco in '84, there is a deep and abiding sense of joy in our souls in spite of the tears in our eyes. Though there are missing planks, there is a solid foundation upon which to build. Our Party can win, but we must provide hope which will inspire people to struggle and achieve; provide a plan that shows a way out of our dilemma and then lead the way. 当我们想到从奴隶船到冠军的这段旅程，想到我们从1964年大西洋城木板路上的木板走到1984年在旧金山争取帮助起草纲领中的木板，尽管眼中有泪水，我们的灵魂深处有一种深切而持久的喜悦感。虽然缺少一些木板，但有一个坚实的基础可以在其上建设。我们的政党可以获胜，但我们必须提供希望，激励人们奋斗和成就；提供一个显示摆脱困境的计划，然后引领道路。
In 1984, my heart is made to feel glad because I know there is a way out -- justice. The requirement for rebuilding America is justice. The linchpin of progressive politics in our nation will not come from the North; they, in fact, will come from the South. That is why I argue over and over again. We look from Virginia around to Texas, there's only one black Congressperson out of 115. Nineteen years later, we're locked out of the Congress, the Senate and the Governor's mansion. 1984年，我的心感到高兴，因为我知道有一条出路——正义。重建美国的要求是正义。我们国家进步政治的关键不会来自北方；事实上，它们将来自南方。这就是为什么我一遍又一遍地争论。我们从弗吉尼亚看到德克萨斯，115名国会议员中只有一名黑人。十九年后，我们被排除在国会、参议院和州长官邸之外。
What does this large black vote mean? Why do I fight to win second primaries and fight gerrymandering and annexation and at-large [elections]. Why do we fight over that? Because I tell you, you cannot hold someone in the ditch unless you linger there with them. Unless you linger there. 如此庞大的黑人投票意味着什么？为什么我要为赢得第二轮初选而奋斗，为反对杰利蝾螈式划分选区、兼并和全面选举而奋斗。我们为什么要为此奋斗？因为我告诉你，除非你与他们一起留在沟里，否则你无法将某人留在沟里。除非你留在那里。
If you want a change in this nation, you enforce that Voting Rights Act. We'll get 12 to 20 Black, Hispanics, female and progressive congresspersons from the South. We can save the cotton, but we've got to fight the boll weevils. We've got to make a judgment. We've got to make a judgment. 如果你想在这个国家做出改变，你就强制执行《投票权法案》。我们将从南方获得12到20名黑人、西班牙裔、女性和进步国会议员。我们可以拯救棉花，但我们必须与棉铃虫作斗争。我们必须做出判断。我们必须做出判断。
It is not enough to hope ERA will pass. How can we pass ERA? If Blacks vote in great numbers, progressive Whites win. It's the only way progressive Whites win. If Blacks vote in great numbers, Hispanics win. When Blacks, Hispanics, and progressive Whites vote, women win. When women win, children win. When women and children win, workers win. We must all come up together. We must come up together. 仅仅希望平等权利修正案通过是不够的。我们如何才能通过平等权利修正案？如果黑人选民大量投票，进步的白人就会获胜。这是进步的白人获胜的唯一途径。如果黑人选民大量投票，西班牙裔就会获胜。当黑人、西班牙裔和进步的白人投票时，女性就会获胜。当女性获胜时，儿童就会获胜。当女性和儿童获胜时，工人就会获胜。我们必须一起崛起。我们必须一起崛起。
For all of our joy and excitement, we must not save the world and lose our souls. We should never short-circuit enforcing the Voting Rights Act at every level. When one of us rise[s], all of us will rise. Justice is the way out. Peace is the way out. We should not act as if nuclear weaponry is negotiable and debatable. 尽管我们充满喜悦和兴奋，但我们不能拯救世界却失去灵魂。我们不应该在任何层面上短路强制执行《投票权法案》。当我们中的一个人崛起时，我们所有人都会崛起。正义是出路。和平是出路。我们不应该表现得好像核武器是可以谈判和辩论的。
In this world in which we live, we dropped the bomb on Japan and felt guilty, but in 1984 other folks [have] also got bombs. This time, if we drop the bomb, six minutes later we, too, will be destroyed. It's not about dropping the bomb on somebody. It is about dropping the bomb on everybody. We must choose to develop minds over guided missiles, and think it out and not fight it out. It's time for a change. 在我们生活的这个世界里，我们向日本投下了炸弹并感到内疚，但在1984年，其他人也有炸弹了。这一次，如果我们投下炸弹，六分钟后，我们也将被摧毁。这不是关于向某人投下炸弹。这是关于向每个人投下炸弹。我们必须选择发展思想而非制导导弹，思考而非战斗。是时候改变了。
Our foreign policy must be characterized by mutual respect, not by gunboat diplomacy, big stick diplomacy, and threats. Our nation at its best feeds the hungry. Our nation at its worst, at its worst, will mine the harbors of Nicaragua, at its worst will try to overthrow their government, at its worst will cut aid to American education and increase the aid to El Salvador; at its worst, our nation will have partnerships with South Africa. That's a moral disgrace. It's a moral disgrace. It's a moral disgrace. 我们的外交政策必须以相互尊重为特征，而不是以炮舰外交、大棒外交和威胁为特征。我们的国家在最好的时候为饥饿者提供食物。我们的国家在最坏的时候——最坏的时候——会在尼加拉瓜的港口布雷，会试图推翻他们的政府，会削减对美国教育的援助并增加对萨尔瓦多的援助；在最坏的时候，我们的国家会与南非建立伙伴关系。这是道德上的耻辱。这是道德上的耻辱。这是道德上的耻辱。
We look at Africa. We cannot just focus on Apartheid in Southern Africa. We must fight for trade with Africa, and not just aid to Africa. We cannot stand idly by and say we will not relate to Nicaragua unless they have elections there, and then embrace military regimes in Africa overthrowing democratic governments in Nigeria and Liberia and Ghana. We must fight for democracy all around the world and play the game by one set of rules. 我们看看非洲。我们不能只关注南部非洲的种族隔离。我们必须争取与非洲的贸易，而不仅仅是对非洲的援助。我们不能袖手旁观，说除非尼加拉瓜举行选举，否则我们不会与他们建立关系，然后拥抱非洲推翻尼日利亚、利比里亚和加纳民主政府的军事政权。我们必须在全世界争取民主，并按照一套规则行事。
Peace in this world. Our present formula for peace in the Middle East is inadequate. It will not work. There are 22 nations in the Middle East. Our nation must be able to talk and act and influence all of them. We must build upon Camp David, and measure human rights by one yard stick. In that region we have too many interests and too few friends. 世界和平。我们目前中东和平的方案是不够的。它行不通。中东有22个国家。我们的国家必须能够与所有这些国家交谈、行动和施加影响。我们必须在戴维营协议的基础上再接再厉，并以一个标准衡量人权。在那个地区，我们的利益太多，朋友太少。
There is a way out -- jobs. Put America back to work. When I was a child growing up in Greenville, South Carolina, the Reverend Sample used to preach every so often a sermon relating to Jesus. And he said, "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto me." I didn't quite understand what he meant as a child growing up, but I understand a little better now. If you raise up truth, it's magnetic. It has a way of drawing people. 有一条出路——工作。让美国重新就业。当我还是个孩子在南卡罗来纳州格林维尔长大时，桑普尔牧师经常时不时地讲一篇关于耶稣的布道。他说："如果我被高举，我将吸引所有人到我身边。"作为一个成长中的孩子，我不太明白他的意思，但现在我明白了一点。如果你高举真理，它是有磁性的。它有一种吸引人们的方式。
With all this confusion in this Convention, the bright lights and parties and big fun, we must raise up the simple proposition: If we lift up a program to feed the hungry, they'll come running; if we lift up a program to study war no more, our youth will come running; if we lift up a program to put America back to work, and an alternative to welfare and despair, they will come working. 尽管这次大会上有这么多混乱，明亮的灯光、派对和巨大的乐趣，我们必须提出一个简单的主张：如果我们提出一个为饥饿者提供食物的计划，他们会跑来；如果我们提出一个不再研究战争的计划，我们的青年会跑来；如果我们提出一个让美国重新就业的计划，以及替代福利和绝望的方案，他们会来工作。
If we cut that military budget without cutting our defense, and use that money to rebuild bridges and put steel workers back to work, and use that money and provide jobs for our cities, and use that money to build schools and pay teachers and educate our children and build hospitals and train doctors and train nurses, the whole nation will come running to us. 如果我们在不削减国防的情况下削减军事预算，并利用这笔钱重建桥梁并让钢铁工人重新就业，利用这笔钱为我们的城市提供就业机会，利用这笔钱建造学校、支付教师工资、教育我们的孩子、建造医院、培训医生和培训护士，整个国家都会跑来加入我们。
As I leave you now, we vote in this convention and get ready to go back across this nation in a couple of days. In this campaign, I've tried to be faithful to my promise. I lived in old barrios, ghettos, and reservations and housing projects. I have a message for our youth. I challenge them to put hope in their brains and not dope in their veins. I told them that like Jesus, I, too, was born in the slum. But just because you're born in the slum does not mean the slum is born in you, and you can rise above it if your mind is made up. 现在我要离开你们了，我们在这次大会上投票，准备几天后回到这个国家。在这次竞选中，我努力信守我的承诺。我住在老的西班牙裔社区、贫民窟、保留地和住房项目中。我有一个信息要传达给我们的青年。我挑战他们把希望放在大脑里，而不是把毒品放在血管里。我告诉他们，像耶稣一样，我也出生在贫民窟。但仅仅因为你出生在贫民窟，并不意味着贫民窟出生在你身上，如果你下定决心，你可以超越它。
I told them in every slum there are two sides. When I see a broken window -- that's the slummy side. Train some youth to become a glazier -- that's the sunny side. When I see a missing brick -- that's the slummy side. Let that child in the union and become a brick mason and build -- that's the sunny side. 我告诉他们，每个贫民窟都有两面。当我看到一扇破碎的窗户——那是贫民窟的一面。训练一些青年成为玻璃工——那是阳光的一面。当我看到一块缺失的砖——那是贫民窟的一面。让那个孩子加入工会，成为泥瓦匠，建造——那是阳光的一面。
When I see a missing door -- that's the slummy side. Train some youth to become a carpenter -- that's the sunny side. And when I see the vulgar words and hieroglyphics of destitution on the walls -- that's the slummy side. Train some youth to become a painter, an artist -- that's the sunny side. 当我看到一扇缺失的门——那是贫民窟的一面。训练一些青年成为木匠——那是阳光的一面。当我看到墙上贫穷的粗俗文字和象形文字——那是贫民窟的一面。训练一些青年成为画家、艺术家——那是阳光的一面。
We leave this place looking for the sunny side because there's a brighter side somewhere. I'm more convinced than ever that we can win. We will vault up the rough side of the mountain. We can win. I just want young America to do me one favor, just one favor. Exercise the right to dream. You must face reality -- that which is. But then dream of a reality that ought to be -- that must be. Live beyond the pain of reality with the dream of a bright tomorrow. Use hope and imagination as weapons of survival and progress. Use love to motivate you and obligate you to serve the human family. 我们离开这个地方，寻找阳光的一面，因为某个地方会有更光明的一面。我比以往任何时候都更相信我们可以获胜。我们将爬上山的粗糙一侧。我们可以获胜。我只希望年轻的美国帮我一个忙，就一个忙。行使梦想的权利。你必须面对现实——即现在的样子。但然后梦想一个应该是的现实——必须是的现实。带着对美好明天的梦想，超越现实的痛苦生活。利用希望和想象力作为生存和进步的武器。用爱激励你并使你有义务为人类家庭服务。
Young America, dream. Choose the human race over the nuclear race. Bury the weapons and don't burn the people. Dream -- dream of a new value system. Teachers who teach for life and not just for a living; teach because they can't help it. Dream of lawyers more concerned about justice than a judgeship. Dream of doctors more concerned about public health than personal wealth. Dream of preachers and priests who will prophesy and not just profiteer. Preach and dream! 年轻的美国，梦想吧。选择人类种族而非核竞赛。埋葬武器，不要燃烧人民。梦想——梦想一个新的价值体系。为生命而教，而不仅仅是为生计而教的教师；因为他们情不自禁地教书。梦想更关心正义而非法官职位的律师。梦想更关心公共卫生而非个人财富的医生。梦想会预言而不仅仅是牟利的牧师和神父。宣讲和梦想吧！
Our time has come. Our time has come. Suffering breeds character. Character breeds faith. In the end, faith will not disappoint. 我们的时代已经到来。我们的时代已经到来。苦难孕育品格。品格孕育信仰。最终，信仰不会让人失望。
Our time has come. Our faith, hope, and dreams will prevail. Our time has come. Weeping has endured for nights, but now joy cometh in the morning. 我们的时代已经到来。我们的信仰、希望和梦想将占上风。我们的时代已经到来。哭泣可能持续整夜，但现在喜悦在早晨到来。
Our time has come. No grave can hold our body down. Our time has come. No lie can live forever. 我们的时代已经到来。没有坟墓能埋葬我们的身体。我们的时代已经到来。没有谎言能永远存在。
Our time has come. We must leave racial battle ground and come to economic common ground and moral higher ground. America, our time has come. We come from disgrace to amazing grace. 我们的时代已经到来。我们必须离开种族战场，来到经济共同点和道德更高境界。美国，我们的时代已经到来。我们从耻辱走向奇异的恩典。
Our time has come. Give me your tired, give me your poor, your huddled masses who yearn to breathe free and come November, there will be a change because our time has come. 我们的时代已经到来。给我你疲惫的人，给我你贫穷的人，你渴望呼吸自由的拥挤人群，到11月，将会有改变，因为我们的时代已经到来。
