I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime—two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctors' bills, or save enough for their child's college education. There is new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.

我知道你们所做的一切并不只是为了赢得大选,我也知道你们这么做并不是为了我。你们这样做是因为你们明白摆在面前的任务有多艰巨。因为即便就在今晚我们庆祝胜利的时刻,我们也知道明天将面临的是我们一生之中最为艰难的挑战——两场战争、一个面临生存危险的地球,还有百年来最严重的金融危机。今晚我们站在此地,我们知道此时此刻伊拉克的沙漠里和阿富汗的群山中那些勇敢的美国子弟兵正在醒来,准备冒着生命危险保护我们;会有在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠的父母,正在为如何支付房贷的按揭、看病的账单以及如何能攒钱送孩子上大学而发愁。我们还亟待开发新的能源,创造新的就业机会,修建新的学校,应对众多威胁,修补与许多盟国的关系。
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term, but America—I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you—we as a people will get there.
我们前方的道路将是漫长的,我们要攀登的山峰将非常陡峭。我们可能无法在一年甚至一届任期之内实现上述目标,但我从未像今晚这样满怀信心,相信我们会实现这一切。我向你们保证——我们作为一个整体将会胜利达成我们的目标。
