So I want to say to my supporters: When you hear people saying or think to yourself, "If only, or, "What if," I say, please, don't go there.
我要告诉我的支持者:如果你听到别人说,或者你自己曾经这样想,“如果某件事没有发生”,或者“要是出现了另一种情况”……那么我会说,请不要这样设想。
Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next president.
为往事叹息,会阻碍我们前进。生命短暂,时间宝贵,沉湎于空想的代价实在太大。面对现实,我们必须团结起来。这就是我全力支持奥巴马参议员当选下一任总统的原因。
When we first started, people everywhere asked the same questions. Could a woman really serve as commander-in-chief? Well, I think we answered that one.
当选举刚开始的时候,到处都有人在问:一个女人真的能够领导国家吗?我想,我们已经对这个问题做出了回答。
As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.
当我们今天在这里集会的时候,第50位妇女正在我们的头顶,绕地球飞行。如果我们能够将50个妇女送入太空,那么总有一天,我们也会将一个妇女送入白宫。
Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it...
虽然这一次,我们无法打破那最高、最坚硬的玻璃天花板,但是由于你们,它出现了1800万道裂缝……
... and the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.
光明从未像现在这样明亮,让我们充满希望,确信下一次这条道路将变得更容易一些。
