今天晚上，我想到了她在美国过去一百年间所经历的种种：心痛和希望；斗争和进步；在那里时代，我们被告知我们办不到，一些人继续坚信着美国的信念——是的，我们能做到。jīn tiān wǎn shàng， wǒ xiǎng dào le tā zài měi guó guò qù yì bǎi nián jiān suǒ jīng lì de zhǒng zhǒng： xīn tòng hé xī wàng； dòu zhēng hé jìn bù； zài nà lǐ shí dài， wǒ men bèi gào zhī wǒ men bàn bú dào， yī xiē rén jì xù jiān xìn zhe měi guó de xìn niàn —— shì de， wǒ men néng zuò dào。

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America. The heartache and the hope, the struggle and the progress. The times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.

现在是我们回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻这是我们的时代--让我们的人民重新就业，为我们的后代敞开机会之门，恢复繁荣，推进和平，重新确立“美国梦”，再次证明这样一个基本的真理：我们是一家人；只要一息尚存，我们就有希望；当我们遇到嘲讽和怀疑，当有人说我们办不到的时候，我们要以这个永恒的信条来回应他们。是的，我们能做到xiàn zài shì wǒ men huí dá zhè ge wèn tí de jī huì。 zhè shì wǒ men de shí kè zhè shì wǒ men de shí dài -- ràng wǒ men de rén mín chóng xīn jiù yè， wèi wǒ men de hòu dài chǎng kāi jī huì zhī mén， huī fù fán róng， tuī jìn hé píng， chóng xīn què lì “ měi guó mèng ”， zài cì zhèng míng zhè yàng yí gè jī běn de zhēn lǐ： wǒ men shì yī jiā rén； zhǐ yào yī xī shàng cún， wǒ men jiù yǒu xī wàng； dāng wǒ men yù dào cháo fěng hé huái yí， dāng yǒu rén shuō wǒ men bàn bú dào de shí hòu， wǒ men yào yǐ zhè ge yǒng héng de xìn tiáo lái huí yìng tā men。 shì de， wǒ men néng zuò dào

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.

抱歉，办不到。bào qiàn， bàn bú dào。
