奧巴馬演講譯文之文言文版(4)

    萬馬齊喑，其事堪哀，吾邦女界怒而起，憤而爭，苦戰不歇，歷數十載。幸哉庫氏，以百歲之高齡，終得親見女流自立于世，重獲天賦之權——吾輩既在，無所不能！

    When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land， she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal， new jobs， a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

    當百業蕭條，國人絕望哀鳴之際，庫氏親見吾美利堅出曠世之新政，挽狂瀾于既倒，扶大廈之將傾，退畏懼之勢，扶奮勇之心，終至人各有位，民心乃安——吾輩既在，無所不能！

    When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world， she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

    當吾國良港遭襲，天下桀紂當道，暴政肆虐之時，庫氏親見豪杰群起，民主不衰——吾輩既在，無所不能！

    She was there for the buses in Montgomery， the hoses in Birmingham， a bridge in Selma， and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.

    蒙哥馬利公車之罷輟，伯明翰城黑人之群起，塞爾瑪城血雨腥風之事，庫氏般般親歷。更曾親聆亞特蘭大傳教之士振臂登高之呼——“吾等必勝！”誠哉斯言！吾輩既在，無所不能！

    A man touched down on the moon， a wall came down in Berlin， a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year， in this election， she touched her finger to a screen， and cast her vote， because after 106 years in America， through the best of times and the darkest of hours， she knows how America can change. Yes we can.

    俟科學昌明于世，創想通貫一時，既登廣寒之闕，又潰柏林之墻。洋洋乎！有百年如是，乃見今歲選戰中，庫氏之一票。浩浩兮！一百零六載交鋒更迭，方有美利堅今日之變革——吾輩既在，無所不能！

    America， we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight， let us ask ourselves — if our children should live to see the next century； if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper， what change will they see？ What progress will we have made？

    轉眼興亡過手，而今邁步從頭。追昔撫今，不禁捫心而問——俟再歷百年歲月，倘吾等后輩兒孫，亦有得享高壽如庫氏者，復可見何等之變數？吾輩今日之功，他年可得而見之乎？

    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 doubts 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.

    所謂天命時運，莫過于此——當為吾邦萬民造安身立命之業，為吾輩兒孫啟各顯雄才之門，為寰宇各國創太平靜好之世，為吾等壯志賦千秋不滅之元神。吾邦立國之本，必將光耀于天下。萬千同胞，當如一人，一息尚存，夢想不滅。縱有世人旁觀在側，而疑竇生焉，吾輩亦當以千秋不易之訓共答之曰——吾輩既在，無所不能！

    Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

    拜謝諸君。愿天佑吾民，天佑吾邦。
