A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.

　　Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

　　I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they’ve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.

　　我剛剛收到麥凱恩參議員打來(lái)的電話(huà)，他非常誠(chéng)摯。在這次漫長(zhǎng)的競(jìng)選中，他付出了艱苦的努力。而為這個(gè)他所愛(ài)的國(guó)家，他付出得更多、時(shí)間也更長(zhǎng)。他忍受過(guò)的犧牲，是我們很多美國(guó)人無(wú)法想象的。這位勇敢而無(wú)私的領(lǐng)袖的付出會(huì)讓我們的國(guó)家更強(qiáng)大。對(duì)麥凱恩參議員和佩林州長(zhǎng)所取得的成績(jī)，我這里也表示欽佩。我期待在接下來(lái)的幾個(gè)月中，與他們一道重拾美國(guó)的承諾。

　　I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

　　我要感謝我的競(jìng)選伙伴。他發(fā)自?xún)?nèi)心地投入競(jìng)選，他的聲音代表了那些在他成長(zhǎng)的斯克蘭頓街生活的人們的聲音，代表那些和他一道乘火車(chē)上下班的特拉華州人民的聲音?，F(xiàn)在他將是美國(guó)的副總統(tǒng)，他就是喬·拜登。

　　And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.

　　Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.

　　And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

　　To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.

　　如果不是我過(guò)去十六年間最親密的朋友、我的家庭的基石和我一生的至愛(ài)給予的支持，今晚我不會(huì)站在這里。那就是我們國(guó)家的下任第一夫人，米歇爾·奧巴馬。還有我的女兒，薩沙和瑪麗亞。我是如此愛(ài)你們。我們會(huì)帶著你們剛贏得的小狗一起搬進(jìn)白宮。而我的外祖母，雖然此刻他已經(jīng)離我們而去，但我知道她在看著呢——和帶給我生命、定義了我人生的家人們一道。今夜，我想念他們。我知道我欠他們的難以?xún)斶€。
