1、希拉里经典演讲稿 1Thank you so much. Thank you all.非常感谢各位!谢谢你们!Well, this isnt exactly the party Id planned, but I sure like the company.嗯，这场聚会并不是我事先计划好的哦，但是我很感谢有你们的陪伴。I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you-to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who dr
2、ove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs, who scrimped and saved to raise money, who knocked on doors and made calls, who talked and sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors, (APPLAUSE)who e-mailed and contributed online, who invested so much in our common enterprise. To the
3、 moms and dads who came to our events, who lifted their little girls and little boys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears, “See, you can be anything you want to be.“从今天开始我想要感谢所有的人感谢那些倾注了你们的热情和希望在这次竞选活动中的人们，感谢那些长途跋涉，在街上挥舞自制标语的人们，感谢那些省吃俭用，踊跃募款的人们，感谢那些到各家各户敲门，给每个人打电话，并且和你的朋友邻居们讨论甚至争论起来的人们。(鼓掌
4、)感谢那些通过电子邮件和网络进行捐助的人们，感谢那些在我们的公共事业上大量投资的人们。更要感谢那些带着小孩子参加我们活动的父亲母亲，他们轻声地告诉肩膀上的孩子们：“看啊，有梦想就能实现!”To the young people, like 13-year-old Ann Riddle from Mayfield, Ohio, who had been saving for two years to go to Disney World, and decided to use her savings instead to travel to Pennsylvania with her mom a
5、nd volunteer there as well. To the veterans and the childhood friends, to New Yorkers and Arkansans who traveled across the country, telling anyone who would listen why you supported me.我也应该感谢像安这样的年轻人们，她今年刚 13岁，来自俄亥俄州的梅菲尔得市，她决定把过去两年中本为去迪士尼攒下的钱用来去宾夕法尼亚和妈妈一起充当志愿者。还有那些退伍老兵，孩提时的朋友，以及纽约和阿肯色地区的人们，感谢他们不远万里
6、来到这里，是他们告诉那些愿意聆听的人们为什么要支持我。To all those women in their 80s and their 90s, born before women could vote, who cast their votes for our campaign. Ive told you before about Florence Steen of South Dakota, who was 88 years old, and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedsid
7、e. Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot. She passed away soon after, and under state law, her ballot didnt count. But her daughter later told a reporter, “My dads an ornery old cowboy, and he didnt like it when he heard moms vote wouldnt be
8、 counted. I dont think he had voted in 20 years. But he voted in place of my mom.“感谢那些在女性可以有选举权之前出生的八、九十岁并在竞选活动中投票的女士们。我在之前提到过来自南达科他州的 88岁的 Florence Steen, 坚持让他的女儿带一张缺席选举人票到她的床边。她女儿和朋友在她的床边放了面美国国旗并帮助她填选票。没多久，她离开了人世。根据国家法律，她的选票不能生效。后来她的女儿对记者说：“我爸是个脾气不大好的老牛仔，听到我妈的选票失效时他很失落。我想他有二十多年没有投过票了，但他这次代替我妈妈投上了一
9、票。”So to all those who voted for me and to whom I pledged my utmost, my commitment to you and to the progress we seek is unyielding.You have inspired and touched me with the stories of the joys and sorrows that make up the fabric of our lives.And you have humbled me with your commitment to our count
10、ry.Eighteen million of you, from all walks of life-women and men, young and old, Latino and A sian, A frican- American and Caucasian rich, poor, and middle-class, gay and straight, you have stood with me.And I will continue to stand strong with you every time, every place, in every way that I can.Th
11、e dreams we share are worth fighting for .Remember, we fought for the single mom with the young daughter, juggling work and school, who told me, “ Im doing it all to better myself for her”.We fought for the woman who grabbed my hand and asked me, “What are you going to do to make sure I have health
12、care?”and began to cry, because even though she works three jobs, she cant afford insurance.所以，对所有给我投票的人们，对所有我发誓尽自己所能来为你们做奉献的人们，对和我一起追求进步未曾屈服的人们，我向你们表示感谢。你们的故事激励着我，感动着我；故事有喜也有悲，它们构成了我们的生活。在你们为国家所做的贡献之下，我显得无比卑微。1800 万选民，来自不同行业的女人和男人、年轻人和老年人、拉丁血统和亚裔朋友、黑人朋友和高加索人民、富有的人、贫穷的人、中产阶级、同性恋者或异性恋者，你们曾站在我这一边。我也将一
13、如既往地坚定地站在你们的一边，无论何时何地，用一切我所能够做的方式。我们共同的梦想是值得我们为之奋斗的！请记住，我们曾奋斗，为那个有一个小女儿，拼命工作学习的身单母亲，她曾对我说：“我做的一切让自己变得更好，都是为了我的女儿。 ”我们曾奋头，为那个握住我的手问：“你会怎样做来确保我能得到健康治疗?”然后哭泣的女人，因为她尽管做三份工作仍无法承担医药费。We fought for the yough man in the Marine Corps T-shirt who waited months for medical care and said,Take care of my buddies
14、 over there, and then will you please take care of me?”We fought for all those whove lost jobs and health care, who cant afford gas or groceries or college, who have felt invisible to their president these last seven years.希拉里经典演讲稿 2Thank you very much.You know, tonight, we are hearing the voices of
15、 people across America, people of all ages, of all colors, all faiths and all walks of life, people on the day shift, the night shift, the late shift, with the crying babies, moms and dads who want a better world for our children, young people who deserve a world of opportunity, all those who arent
16、in the headlines, but have always written Americas story.After seven years of a president who listens only to the special interests, youre ready for a president who brings your voice, your values and your dreams to your White House.And tonight, in record numbers, you voted not just to make history,
17、but to remake America. People in American Samoa, Arkansas, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and the great state of New York and on just - on just one really serious note, we want to keep the people of Arkansas and Tennessee in our prayers. They suffered horrible tornadoes tonight.We j
18、ust talked to some of our folks there and people have died in both states, and our thoughts and prayers go out to them in this moment of their need.You know, tonight, though, is your note. Tonight is Americas night. And its not - its not over yet, because the polls are still open in California for a
19、 few more minutes.I hope that all of you will join our campaign at , because you know - you know that politics isnt a game. Its not about whos up or whos down.Its about your lives, your families, your futures. Its about the people who have shared their problems with me, looking for solutions, the mo
20、ther whose insurance company wont pay for her childs treatment, the couple so determined to send their daughter to college, theyre willing to mortgage their home with a sub-prime second mortgage, the man who asked me what he was supposed to do after training the person who will take his job in anoth
21、er country, the veterans whove come home only to find they dont have the health care, the compensation and the services they need.Its also about the people who want to seize Americas opportunities. Its about the unions and businesses who are training people for green collar jobs.Its about the auto c
22、ompanies and the auto workers who want higher gas mileage cars so we can compete with the rest of the world.Its about - its about our scientists and researchers who want to be able to do stem cell research right here in the United States of America.Its about our contractors and our construction work
23、ers who want to get to work to rebuild America, from the bridges in Minnesota to the levees in New Orleans.Now, for seven years, we have seen President Bushs answer. They dont know whats at stake in this election, but we do. We know what we need is someone ready on day one to solve our problems and
24、seize those opportunities.Because when the bright lights are off and the cameras are gone, who can you count on to listen to you, to stand up for you, to delivery solutions for you?Well, the Republicans want eight more years of the same. They see tax cuts for the wealthy and they say, “Why not more?
25、“ They see $9 trillion in debt and say, “Why not trillions more?“ They see five years in Iraq and say, “Why not 100 more?“ Well，theyve got until January 20th, 2009 and not one day more.Now, we know the Republicans wont give up the White House without a fight. Well, let me be clear - I wont let anyon
26、e swift vote this countrys future.Together, were going to take back America, because I see an America where our economy works for everyone, not just those at the top, where prosperity is shared and we create good jobs that stay right here in America.I see an America where we stand up to the oil comp
27、anies and the oil-producing countries, where we launch a clean energy revolution and finally confront the climate crisis.I see an America where we dont just provide health care for some people or most people, but for every single man, woman and child, that no one is left out.I see - I see an America
28、 where, when a young man or a woman signs up to serve our country, we sign up to serve them, too.An America with a 21st century GI Bill of Rights to help veterans go to college, buy a home or start their own businesses.see an America respected around the world again that reaches out to our allies an
29、d confronts our shared challenges from global terrorism to global warming to global epidemic.Thats the America I see and thats the America we will build together.I am so lucky to have the most extraordinary staff, volunteers and supporters across the country.And I am so grateful for all those long h
30、ours and late nights that youve been putting in. And I want to thank the most important people in my life.First, Bill and Chelsea for their incredible love and support.They have done so much day in and day out.And I want to thank all my friends and family, particularly my mother, who was born before
31、 women could vote and is watching her daughter on this stage tonight.I also - I also - I also want to congratulate Senator Obama for his victories tonight, and I look forward to continuing our campaign and our debate about how to leave this country better off for the next generation, because that is
32、 the work of my life.That is why I started my career fighting for abused and neglected children, children who had drawn the short straw in life, because this nation gave me every opportunity, and we can do the same for every child.We must continue to be a nation that strives always to give each of o
33、ur children a better future, a nation of optimists who believe our best days are yet to come, a nation of idealists, holding fast to our deepest values, that we are all created equal, that we all deserve to fulfill our God given potential, that we are destined for progress together.Its the ideal ins
34、cribed on the base of the Statute of Liberty in this great city that has overlooked our harbor through wars and depression and the dark days of September 11, the words we all know that give voice to Americas embrace - “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free“ - a
35、 constant reminder that here in America, we face our challenges and we embrace all of our people.So today we say with one voice - give us the child who wants to learn, give us the people in need of work, give us the veterans who need our care. We say give us this economy to rebuild and this war to end. Give us this nation to heal, this world to lead, this moment to seize.I know were ready.Thank you all and God bless you.希拉里经典演讲稿
