Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union
moves forward.
It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed (再肯定) the spirit that has triumphed over war and
depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while
each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family and we rise or fall together as one nation and as
one people.
Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been
long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of
America the best is yet to come.
I want to thank every American who participated in this election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for
a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that. Whether you pounded the pavement (尋求支持或募款) or picked up the
phone, whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference.
I just spoke with Gov. Romney (前麻州州長羅姆尼) and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. We
may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From
George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service and that is
the legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to
talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.
I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America's happy warrior, the best vice president anybody could
ever hope for, Joe Biden.
And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly:
Michelle, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as
our nation's first lady. Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young
women, just like your mom. And I'm so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now one dog's probably enough. (四年前在
勝選演說時歐巴馬曾答應女兒養狗)
To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics. The best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time
around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning. But all of you are family. No matter what you do or
where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together and you will have the lifelong
appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way, through every hill, through every valley. You lifted
me up the whole way and I will always be grateful for everything that you've done and all the incredible work that you put in.
