奥巴马卸任前最后一次感恩节讲话
Hi, everybody. On behalf of the Obama family – Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Grandma, Bo, and Sunny – I want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. Like so many of you, we'll spend the day with friends and family, turkey and touchdowns. We'll give thanks for each other, and for all that God has given us. And we'll reflect on what truly binds us as Americans.
大家好，我谨代表我家族祝大家感恩节快乐。和大多数人一样，我们会和亲朋好友一起度过假日，当然也离不开火鸡及橄榄球这些传统的元素。我们互相道谢，并感恩上帝赐给我们的一切。而且我们会深思是什么让美国人凝聚在一起。
That's never been more important. As a country, we've just emerged from a noisy, passionate, and sometimes divisive campaign season. After all, elections are often where we emphasize what sets us apart. We face off in a contest of "us" versus "them." We focus on the candidate we support instead of some of the ideals we share.
这从来不曾这样重要过。我们国家刚经历过一个吵闹、激昂的，有时候又很分裂的大选季节。毕竟，大选经常强调我们被什么所区分。我们和竞争对手对抗，我们关注我们所支持的候选人而不是我们共享的理想。
But a few short weeks later, Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, we are still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves. We are communities that move forward together. We are neighbors who look out for one another, especially those among us with the least. We are always, simply, Americans.
然而，几周之后，感恩节提醒我们，不管我们的差异，我们还是同一个人民，是比我们自己更强大的群体的一部分。我们是共同进步的群体，我们是邻居，我们互相照料，特别是我们中间那些贫穷的人。我们永远都只是美国人。
That's why, through the fog of Civil War, President Lincoln saw what mattered most – the unalienable truths for which so many gave their lives, and which made possible "a new birth of freedom." And so precisely when the fate of the Union hung in the balance, he boldly proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving, when the nation's gifts "should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people."
这也是为什么在南北战争的迷雾中，林肯总统看见了什么是最重要的——那不可剥夺的真理，多少人为此献上自己生命，让新生的自由变为可能。恰好这个联盟处于平衡之中时，他勇敢地宣布这天为感恩节。这个国家的恩赐应当如同同一条心，同一个声音一样，庄严地，恭敬地，感激地被全体美国人所认可。
Today, we continue to give thanks for those blessings, and to all who ensured that they would be our inheritance. We remember the determined patriots who landed at the edge of the world in search of freedom. We give thanks to the brave men and women who defend that freedom in every corner of the world. And we honor all people – from the First Americans to our newest arrivals – who continue to shape our nation's story, enrich our heritage, and give meaning to our founding values, values we must never take for granted – that in America, we are bound not by any one race or religion, but rather an adherence to a common belief that all of us are created equal; that we may think, and worship, and speak, and love as we please; that the gift of democracy is ours, and ours alone, to nurture and to protect.
今天，我们要继续为那些祝福而感恩，以及向那些确认会成为我们产业的人感恩。我们记得那些坚定的爱国者，他们在世界的边缘靠岸，寻找自由。我们感谢那些勇敢的男人和女人们，在世界的每个角落为自由而战。我们尊重所有的人民，从第一个美国人到最新的移民，那些不断塑造我们的历史，丰富我们的传统，并为我们建国的价值赋予意义，那些我们永远不能觉得理所当然的价值。在美国，我们不是靠一个民族和宗教凝聚在一起，但是依附于同一个信仰：我们生来平等。我们可以尽情思考，敬拜，发言和爱。民主的恩赐是我们的，并且只有我们去培植和保护。
Never doubt, that is what makes us American – not where we come from, or what we look like, or what faith we practice, but the ideals to which we pledge our allegiance. It's about our capacity to live up to the creed as old as our founding: "E Pluribus Unum" – that out of many, we are one. And as long as we continue to welcome the contributions of all people, as long as we stand up for each other, speak out for what is right, and stay true to these ideals – not just when it's easy, but when it's hard – then no one can ever take away our liberty. Our best days will always be ahead. And we will keep building a future where all of our children know the promise of America.
永远不要对比产生怀疑，并不是我们从哪里来或者我们的模样，或者我们信仰的宗教，而是我们宣誓所忠诚于的理想使我们成为美国人，这关乎我们如何去实践我们的国徽上的格言“合众为一”。在众多个体之间，我们是一体。只要我们一直欢迎人民的贡献，只要我们彼此支持，为正确的事情发声，并为理想而坚持真理。不是在它简单的时候，而是在它艰难的时候，没有人可以拿走我们的自由。我们最好的日子总是在前方，我们继续建造一个未来，让我们的孩子确信我们美国的格言。
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
祝大家感恩节快乐!
