美國總統又寫信給我了

(前記: 四年前歐巴馬第一次勝選後，他寫信跟我報訊，我也把信簡單翻譯成中文，公開向他道喜。今天歐巴馬連任成功，他又寫信來報訊，我也循例轉譯向他道賀，並向他忠言一句：不要為了自己的歷史定位而辜負選民，包括你自己的選民和對手的選民！）

我馬上要對芝加哥群眾演說，不過想先向你致謝。
I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.

我希望你可以理解，這無關命運，也不是什麼意外，而是你讓這一切成為事實。
I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen.



各位走街串巷地組織動員，五塊十塊地贊助競選。當情勢告危時，大家更是加把勁地努力向前。
You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.

未來的總統任期內，我會讓各位引以為榮，而且我也會努力完成我們的未竟志業。
I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.

不過我希望你跟我一樣，先對我們獲得這個機會而感到榮耀。
 But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.

今天就是最清楚的證明，歷經艱難險阻，平凡的美國大眾照樣打爆財大氣粗的利益集團。
Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.

未來還有很多工作要作。
There's a lot more work to do.

不過我現在只想說：謝謝你！
But for right now: Thank you.
