名人名言：奧巴馬競選獲勝演講（中英文）

　　Hello, Chicago!

　　芝加哥，你好！

　　If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

　　如果有人懷疑美國是個一切皆有可能的地方，懷疑美國奠基者的夢想在我們這個時代依然燃燒，懷疑我們民主的力量，那么今晚這些疑問都有了答案。

　　It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

　　學校和教堂門外的長龍便是答案。排隊的人數(shù)之多，在美國歷史上前所未有。為了投票，他們排隊長達三、四個小時。許多人一生中第一次投票，因為他們認為這一次大選結果必須不同以往，而他們手中的一票可能決定勝負。

　　It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

　　長久以來，很多人說：我們對自己的能量應該冷漠，應該恐懼，應該懷疑。但是，歷史之輪如今已在我們手中，我們又一次將歷史之輪轉往更美好的未來。

　　It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.

　　漫漫征程，今宵終于來臨。特殊的一天，特殊的一次大選，特殊的決定性時刻，美國迎來了變革。

　　I just received a very gracious call from Sen. McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagin
