奥巴马演讲稿 无畏的希望全文
july 27, 2004
on behalf of the great state of illinois, crossroads of a nation, land of lincoln, let me express my deep gratitude for theprivilege of addressing this convention. tonight is a particular honor for me because, l
et’s face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. my father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in kenya. he grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. his father,
my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant.
伟大的伊利诺伊州既是全国的交通枢纽，也是林肯的故乡，作为州代表，今天我将在大会致词，并为自己能有幸获此殊荣而倍感骄傲和自豪。今晚对我而言颇不寻常，我们得承认，我能站在这里本身就
已意义非凡。我父亲是一个外国留学生，他原本生于肯尼亚的一个小村庄，并在那里长大成人。他小的时候还放过羊，上的学校简陋不堪，屋顶上仅有块铁皮来遮风挡雨。
而他的父亲，也就是我的祖父，不过是个普通的厨子，还做过家佣。
but my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place:America, which stood as a beacon of freedom and
opportunity to so many who had come before. while studying here, my father met my mother. she was born in a town on the other side of the world, in kansas. her father worked on oil rigs and farms
through most of the depression. the day after pearl harbor he signed up for duty, joined patton’s army and marched across europe. back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on
a bomber assembly line. after the war, they studied on the gi bill, bought a house through fha, and moved west in search of opportunity.
但祖父对父亲抱以厚望。凭借不懈的努力和坚忍不拔的毅力，父亲荣获赴美留学的机会，而且还拿到奖学金。美国这片神奇的土地，对于很多踏上这片国土的人而言，意味着自由和机遇。还在留学期间，
父亲与母亲不期而遇。母亲来自完全不同的另一个世界，她生于堪萨斯的一个小镇。大萧条时期，外祖父为谋生计，曾在石油钻井打工，还曾在农场务农。日军偷袭珍珠港后的第二天，他就自愿应征入伍，
在巴顿将军麾下，转战南北，横扫欧洲。在后方的家中，外祖母含辛茹苦，抚养子女，并在轰炸机装配线上找了份活计。战后，依据士兵福利法案, 他们通过联邦住宅管理局购置了一套房子，并举家西迁，谋求更大发展。
and they, too, had big dreams for their daughter, a common dream, born of two continents. my parents shared not only an improbable love; they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities
of this nation. they would give me an african name, barack, or "blessed," believing that in a tolerant america your name is no barrier to success. they imagined me going to the best schools
in the land, even though they weren’t rich, because in a generous america you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential. they are both passed away now. yet, i know that, on this night,
they look down on me with pride.
他们对自己的女儿也寄予厚望，两家人虽然身在不同的非洲和美洲大陆，却有着共同的梦想。我的父母不仅不可思议地彼此相爱，而且还对这个国家有了不移的信念。
他们赐予我一个非洲名字，巴拉克，意为“上天福佑”, 因为他们相信，在如此包容的国度中，这样的名字不应成为成功的羁绊。尽管他们生活并不宽裕，还是想方设法让我接受
当地最好的教育，因为在这样一个富足的国度中，无论贫富贵贱，都同样有机会发展个人的潜力。现在他们都已不在人世，不过，我知道，他们的在天之灵，此时此刻正在骄傲地关注着我。
i stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents’ dreams live on in my precious daughters. i stand here knowing that my story is part
of the larger american story, that i owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible. tonight, we gather to
affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. our pride is based on a very
simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago, "we hold these truths to he self-evident, that all men are created equal. that they are
endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
今天，我站在这里，对自己身上这种特殊的血统而心怀感激，而且我知道父母的梦想将在我的宝贝女儿身上继续延续;我站在这里，深知自己的经历只是千百万美国
故事中的沧海一粟，更深知自己无法忘却那些更早踏上这片土地的先人，因为若不是在美国，我的故事无论如何都不可能发生。今夜，我们聚集一堂，再次证明这个国度
的伟大之处，而这一切并不在于鳞次栉比的摩天大厦，也不在于傲视群雄的军备实力，更不在于稳健雄厚的经济实力。我们的自豪与荣耀来自一个非常简单的前提，两百多
年前，它在一个著名的宣言中得以高度的概括：“我们认为以下真理不言而喻，人生来平等，造物主赐与他们以下不可剥夺的权利：生命、自由和对幸福的追求。”
that is the true genius of america, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. that we can tuck in our children at night and know
they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. that we can have an idea
and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody’s son. that we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes
will he counted - or at least, most of the time.
这才是真正的美国智慧，坚信自己的国民有着朴素无华的梦想， 坚信点滴的奇迹终会出现在身边。入夜，当我们为孩子掖好小被的同时，相信他们不会为衣食所累，
不会为安全担忧。我们可以畅所欲言，无需担心不速之客会不请自来。我们有灵感，有想法，可以去实现，去创业，无须行贿或雇佣某些人物的子女作为筹码和条件。
我们可以参政议政，不必担心打击报复，我们的选票至关重要，至少多数情况下，都是如此。
