We all want an economy that sustains the American Dream, the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded; to save for college, a home, and retirement; to afford that gas and those groceries and still have a little left over at the end of the month. An economy that lifts all of our people and ensures that our prosperity is broadly distributed and shared.

我們都想要維護美國之夢，想要勞有所得，為大學、家庭、退休存錢，能夠付得起汽油和雜貨，到月底還有點存款的經濟。想要一個能夠鼓舞我們所有人，確保基本上共同繁榮的經濟！

We all want a health care system that is universal, high-quality and affordable, so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead-end jobs simply to keep their insurance. This isn't just an issue for me, it is a passion and a cause, and it is a fight I will continue until every single American is insured--no exceptions, no excuses。

我們都想要一個普遍的，高質量的、負擔得起的醫保系統，父母們不再要考慮照顧他們自己還是他們的孩子，或則不用為了保險而沒日沒夜地工作。這不僅僅是我的問題，這是激情，是事業，是我要繼續奮斗的，為了讓每個美國人，沒有例外，沒有借口的每個美國人都投保的斗爭！

We all want an America defined by deep and meaningful equality--from civil rights to labor rights, from women's rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families.

我們都希望有一個美國所界定的深入和有意義的平等；民事權到勞動權，婦女權到同性戀權，結束歧視到促進統一，再到為最重要的事情--關懷家庭--提供幫助。

We all want to restore America's standing in the world, to end the war in Iraq and once again lead by the power of our values, and to join with our allies to confront our shared challenges, from poverty and genocide to terrorism and global warming.

我們都希望重塑美國在世界的形象，終止伊拉克戰爭，再一次讓我們的價值觀引導我們，同我們的盟友一起面對我們共同的，貧窮，殺戮，恐怖主義和全球變暖的挑戰。

You know, I've been involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades. During those 40 years, our country has voted 10 times for president. Democrats won only three of those times. And the man who won two of those elections is with us today.

對我來說，這樣或那樣的公眾生活和政治生涯已經有四十年了。在這四十年里，我們的國家舉行了十次總統選舉。民主黨只贏得了其中三次。今天，贏得這三次中的兩場的人，就和我們在一起。

We made tremendous progress during the 90s under a Democratic president, with a flourishing economy, and our leadership for peace and security respected around the world. Just think how much more progress we could have made over the past 40 years if we had a Democratic president. Think about the lost opportunities of these past seven years--on the environment and the economy, on health care and civil rights, on education, foreign policy and the Supreme Court. Imagine how far we could've come, how much we could've achieved, if we had just had a Democrat in the White House.

90年代，在民主黨的總統的領導下我們取得了極大的進步。經濟的飛速發展和在和平和安全的領導地位使我們贏得了世界的尊重。可以想象，要是過去四十年我們也有一個民主黨的總統，我們會取得如何巨大的進步。想一想過去的七年我們錯失的良機吧，環境上的，經濟上的，衛生保健上的，還有民權，教育，外交政策和最高法院上的。要是我們有一位民主黨白宮主人，想一下我們走到了多遠，我們取得了多少的成就。
