So here we are, in a scary but not inexplicable moment of demagoguery, fracture, xenophobia, resentment and fear.
我們就是這樣，身處一個可怕但并非莫名奇妙的，躁動的，受挫的，排外的，痛恨的，懼怕的時刻。
And I worry for us both if we continue down this road, me not listening,
如果我們繼續這條道路：我不聽，你感覺沒被傾聽，
you feeling unheard, you shouting to get me to listen.
你為了讓我聽而喊叫，我將為你我感到擔心。
I worry when each of us is seduced by visions of the future that have no place for the other.
我擔心我們中的每一個人都會被不給別人留出路的未來景象所誘惑。
If this goes on, if this goes on, there may be blood.
如果這繼續下去，繼續這樣下去，可能會演變為血案。
There are already hints of this blood in newspapers every day.
在每天的報紙當中，已經有一些血案前兆了。
There may be roundups, raids, deportations, camps, secessions.
可能會出現混亂，暴動，搜捕，驅逐營，分裂。
And no, I do not think that I exaggerate.
不，我不是在虛張聲勢。
There may be even talk of war in places that were certain they were done with it.
有可能會有戰爭出現在口口聲聲認同已不會有戰爭的地方。
There is always the hope of redemption.
一直以來都有補救的希望。
But it will not be a cheap, shallow redemption that comes through blather about us all being in it together.
但這并非是一個廉價的，淺顯易得的救贖，不僅僅是嘴上說說我們團結一致。
This will take more. It will take accepting that we both made choices to be here.
這會需要更多。我們需要承認我們選擇在這兒。
