Obama in Chicago



Nov. 4th. 2008 歐巴馬在芝加哥宣布當選的夜晚...

奇妙的感覺.. 不關我的事 心 卻一起悸動

世界再慌亂 都在他開口的 那一刻 那一句 "Hello, Chicago" 平靜下來.

多少人 喜極而泣 甚至趴在陌生人的肩膀痛哭(Opera)

隔天走在路上的黑人也都莫名的 有風





很開心 是這城市的一份子 見證這歷史的一夜

以下節錄幾段很喜歡的句子 詳見全文 http://blog.udn.com/may840111/2370726


Hello, Chicago.
哈囉,芝加哥!

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

如果外頭還有人懷疑,美國是否真的是任何事都可能發生的地方,懷疑我們開國先賢的夢想今天是否依然存在,懷疑我們民主的力量;今夜,就是你們要的答案。

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

我向各位許諾,我們會團結一心,一齊抵達目的地。

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.

一開始,挫折和失誤在所難免。有許多人不會同意我以總統身分所做的每一個決定或每一項政策。我們也知道政府無法解決所有問題。

我需要你們的協助

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.

但我永遠會把我們面對的挑戰坦白告訴各位。,尤其是在我們看法不同的時候。最重要的是,我會邀請各位加入重塑這個國家的工作,以美國兩百廿一年來採用的唯一方法:一磚一瓦,胼手胝足
