第12章 音标(11)

为了我们能够过上更好地生活,我们的先辈们前仆后继,历尽艰辛,无私奉献,不辞辛苦,直至双手结起层层老茧。在他们看来,美国的强盛和伟大超越了个人雄心,也超越了个人的出身、贫富和派别差异。

/Z/

America, our work will not be easy. The challenges we facerequire tough choices, and Democrats as well as Republicans willneed to cast off the worn-out ideas and politics of the past. For partof what has been lost these past eight years cant just be measuredby lost wages or bigger trade deficits. What has also been lost is oursense of common purpose-our sense of higher purpose. And thatswhat we have to restore.

美国,我们的工作并不轻松。在挑战面前,我们必须作出艰难的选择,而民主党同共和党一样,需要抛弃陈腐的观点和过时的政见。过去八年里,我们所丧失的部分,仅用损失的工薪和更严重的贸易逆差,是无法衡量的。同样丧失掉的,还有共同的使命感——我们更高的使命。而这正是我们必须恢复的。

And Ive seen it in this campaign. In the young people whovoted for the first time, and in those who got involved again after avery long time. In the Republicans who never thought theyd pick upa Democratic ballot, but did.
