    前路严峻而漫长,我们也许在一年甚至一届总统任期之内都无法解决这些问题。但是美国,我从来没有像今晚这样有信心,相信我们会解决它们。我向你们承诺:我们,美国人民会解决这些问题。

    There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem.

    But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

    前面会有挫折和弯路。很多人不会完全同意我作为总统做出的政策和决定。而且我们知道政府不会解决所有问题。但关于面对的挑战,我会始终对你们坦诚相告。我会倾听你们的声音——特别是当我们意见相左时。而最重要的是,我请你们加入到家园的重建中来,用二百二十一年以来我们唯一的方法,美国的方法——一砖一瓦,水滴石穿。

    What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.

    This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

    It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

    二十一个月之前那个深冬开始的胜利之路,不会在今天这个秋夜止步。这个胜利本身并不是我们所追求的。这只是给了我们机会,去实现我们期待的转变。而如果我们退回原地则什么也不会发生。没有你们的参与,也不会发生。
