人们在备感嘲讽时最生气。这也是为何对自己感到自信的人们不容易生气。rén men zài bèi gǎn cháo fěng shí zuì shēng qì。 zhè yě shì wèi hé duì zì jǐ gǎn dào zì xìn de rén men bù róng yì shēng qì。

People are most angry when they feel they are being mocked. That's why those who are confident in themselves seldom become angry.

就是这个答案，让那些长久以来被灌输要嘲讽、害怕和怀疑自身能力的人们把他们的手放在历史的弧线上，将它弯向一个更美好的一天的希望。jiù shì zhè ge dá àn， ràng nà xiē cháng jiǔ yǐ lái bèi guàn shū yào cháo fěng、 hài pà hé huái yí zì shēn néng lì de rén men bǎ tā men de shǒu fàng zài lì shǐ de hú xiàn shàng， jiāng tā wān xiàng yí gè gèng měi hǎo de yī tiān de xī wàng。

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long, by so many, to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about 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.

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.
