And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world—our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those—to those who would tear the world down—we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security—we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright—tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
對于那些徹夜關(guān)注美國大選的海外人士，從國會到皇宮，到在這個世界上被遺忘的角落里擠在收音機旁的人們，我想說，我們的情況雖然各有不同，但我們最終的前途和命運是相同的，新的美國領(lǐng)袖誕生了。那些想要顛覆這個世界的人們，我們必將擊敗你們。那些尋求和平和安全的人們，我們支持你們。那些所有懷疑美國這個燈塔是否還能繼續(xù)照亮世界的人們，今天晚上我們再次證明，我們國家真正的力量并非來自我們武器的威力或財富的多少，而是來自我們思想的持久力量：民主、自由、機會和永不磨滅的希望。
That's the true genius of America—that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
因為這才是美國真正的天賦所在——美國能夠變革。我們的聯(lián)邦會日趨完美。我們已經(jīng)取得的成就給了我們希望，我們將來一定能夠而且必須取得更大的成就。
