21个月前在寒冬所开始的一切不应当在今天这个秋夜结束。今天的选举胜利并不是我们所寻求的改变--这只是我们进行改变的机会。如果我们仍然按照过去的方式行事，我们所寻求的改变将不会发生。没有你们，没有服务和牺牲的新精神，就不可能发生改变。因此，让我们发扬新的爱国和负责精神，所有的人都下定决心参与其中，更加努力地工作，不仅是为自己而是为彼此。21 gè yuè qián zài hán dōng suǒ kāi shǐ de yī qiè bù yīng dāng zài jīn tiān zhè ge qiū yè jié shù。 jīn tiān de xuǎn jǔ shèng lì bìng bú shì wǒ men suǒ xún qiú de gǎi biàn -- zhè zhǐ shì wǒ men jìn xíng gǎi biàn de jī huì。 rú guǒ wǒ men réng rán àn zhào guò qù de fāng shì xíng shì， wǒ men suǒ xún qiú de gǎi biàn jiāng bú huì fā shēng。 méi yǒu nǐ men， méi yǒu fú wù hé xī shēng de xīn jīng shén， jiù bù kě néng fā shēng gǎi biàn。 yīn cǐ， ràng wǒ men fā yáng xīn de ài guó hé fù zé jīng shén， suǒ yǒu de rén dōu xià dìng jué xīn cān yù qí zhōng， gèng jiā nǔ lì dì gōng zuò， bù jǐn shì wèi zì jǐ ér shì wèi bǐ cǐ。

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice. So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
