We all want an economy that sustains the American Dream, the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded; to save for college, a home, and retirement; to afford that gas and those groceries and still have a little left over at the end of the month. An economy that lifts all of our people and ensures that our prosperity is broadly distributed and shared.

我们都想要维护美国之梦，想要劳有所得，为大学、家庭、退休存钱，能够付得起汽油和杂货，到月底还有点存款的经济。想要一个能够鼓舞我们所有人，确保基本上共同繁荣的经济！

We all want a health care system that is universal, high-quality and affordable, so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead-end jobs simply to keep their insurance. This isn't just an issue for me, it is a passion and a cause, and it is a fight I will continue until every single American is insured--no exceptions, no excuses。

我们都想要一个普遍的，高质量的、负担得起的医保系统，父母们不再要考虑照顾他们自己还是他们的孩子，或则不用为了保险而没日没夜地工作。这不仅仅是我的问题，这是激情，是事业，是我要继续奋斗的，为了让每个美国人，没有例外，没有借口的每个美国人都投保的斗争！

We all want an America defined by deep and meaningful equality--from civil rights to labor rights, from women's rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families.

我们都希望有一个美国所界定的深入和有意义的平等；民事权到劳动权，妇女权到同性恋权，结束歧视到促进统一，再到为最重要的事情--关怀家庭--提供帮助。

We all want to restore America's standing in the world, to end the war in Iraq and once again lead by the power of our values, and to join with our allies to confront our shared challenges, from poverty and genocide to terrorism and global warming.

我们都希望重塑美国在世界的形象，终止伊拉克战争，再一次让我们的价值观引导我们，同我们的盟友一起面对我们共同的，贫穷，杀戮，恐怖主义和全球变暖的挑战。

You know, I've been involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades. During those 40 years, our country has voted 10 times for president. Democrats won only three of those times. And the man who won two of those elections is with us today.

对我来说，这样或那样的公众生活和政治生涯已经有四十年了。在这四十年里，我们的国家举行了十次总统选举。民主党只赢得了其中三次。今天，赢得这三次中的两场的人，就和我们在一起。

We made tremendous progress during the 90s under a Democratic president, with a flourishing economy, and our leadership for peace and security respected around the world. Just think how much more progress we could have made over the past 40 years if we had a Democratic president. Think about the lost opportunities of these past seven years--on the environment and the economy, on health care and civil rights, on education, foreign policy and the Supreme Court. Imagine how far we could've come, how much we could've achieved, if we had just had a Democrat in the White House.

90年代，在民主党的总统的领导下我们取得了极大的进步。经济的飞速发展和在和平和安全的领导地位使我们赢得了世界的尊重。可以想象，要是过去四十年我们也有一个民主党的总统，我们会取得如何巨大的进步。想一想过去的七年我们错失的良机吧，环境上的，经济上的，卫生保健上的，还有民权，教育，外交政策和最高法院上的。要是我们有一位民主党白宫主人，想一下我们走到了多远，我们取得了多少的成就。
