    我从来都不是总统的最佳人选。刚开始时我们没有太多经费也没有很多要人的支持。我们的竞选不是孵化自华盛顿的会议大厅,而是始于得梅因(美国衣阿华Iowa州的首府)的后院、康科德市普通人家的客厅、以及查尔斯顿的某个前廊。

    It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.

    It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.

    This is your victory.

    这一胜利来自于普通工薪阶层人民,他们从微薄的积蓄中拿出五元、十元来支持我们的理念。我们的胜利来自于年轻人--那些远离家人承担辛苦但收入微薄的竞选工作的年轻人。他们反驳了关于他们是冷漠的一代的谬论。我们的胜利也来自于那些已不再年轻的人们,他们在严寒或酷暑中走街串巷向完全陌生的选民进行宣传。我们的胜利来自数以百万计的美国人民,他们的志愿参与和组织证明了两个多世纪之后,那个民有、民治、民享的政府仍然长存。这个胜利属于你们!
