She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
　　　　她就在那里目睹了蒙哥马利的汽车事件，目睹了伯明翰的水龙头事件，目睹了塞尔马的那座桥（胡子注：美国阿拉巴马州中部偏南一城市，位于蒙哥马利市以西。1965年，这里是小马丁• 路德•金领导选举者登记运动的所在地），也目睹了那位来自亚特兰大的牧师告诉人们“我们无往而不胜”。因此，我们一定能。
　　A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
　　一个人可以登陆月球表面，一堵墙可以在柏林倒下，一个世界可以因为我们自身的科学和想象能力连接在一起。就在今年，就在这些选举中，她兰指触屏，投下了她的一票，那是因为在见证美国沧桑106年之后，在经历了美好时光和黑暗时刻之后，她仍然知道美国将怎样去实现变革。因此，我们一定能。
　　America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
　　可爱的美国，迄今为止我们仍然挺立着。我们已经目睹了很多。但还有很多需要我们去做。所以今夜，我要问问我们自己——我们的孩子是否应该活着目睹下个世纪，我的女儿们是否能够如此幸运地像安•尼克松•库柏那样活得那么长久，他们又将会目睹什么样的变革？我们又能取得什么样的进步？
　　　　This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.
　　这正是我们做出回答的良机。这是属于我们的时刻。这是我们的时代——让我们的人民重新拥有工作，为我们的年轻小子打开机会之门；重返繁荣时代，促进和平事业；重新拾回美国之梦，重新加固真理之基——没有许多的悲伤，我们仍然是世界的唯一；我们照样呼吸，我们仍有希望，我们偶尔也会玩世不恭，偶尔也会怀疑一切，某些人说我们不能，我们将以凝聚着民族精神力量的永恒信条做出我们的回应：我们一定能。
　　　　Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.
　　　　感谢你们，上帝保佑你们，上帝保佑美利坚合众国。liuxuepaper.com
