歌词与翻译

[中文]

约翰·凯里相信美国，

他知道仅仅有部分人繁荣是不够的，

因为我们著名的个人主义旁边，

在美国故事中还有另一个要素，

那就是我们作为同一个民族是相互联系的。

如果芝加哥南区的某个孩子不能阅读，

这对我来说很重要，即使那不是我的孩子。

如果某个地方的老人无法支付处方药，

不得不选择是买药还是交房租，

这会让我的生活变得贫穷，即使那不是我的祖父母。

如果一个阿拉伯裔美国人家庭在没有律师或正当程序的情况下被抓捕，

这威胁到我的公民自由。

choose between medicine and the rent

正是这种基本信念，

my

“我是我兄弟的守护者，我是我姐妹的守护者”，

让这个国家运转，

让我们能够追求个人的梦想，

同时作为美国大家庭团结在一起。

现在，即使我们在说话，

有些人正在准备分裂我们，

那些负面广告的推销者，

他们拥抱任何形式的政治。

我今晚要对他们说，

没有自由派美国和保守派美国，

只有美利坚合众国。

没有黑人美国、白人美国、拉丁美国和亚裔美国，

只有美利坚合众国。

那些评论员喜欢把我们的国家切割成红色州和蓝色州，

红色州是共和党的，蓝色州是民主党的，

但我也有消息要告诉他们，

在蓝色州，我们崇拜同一个伟大的上帝，

在红色州，我们不喜欢联邦探员在我们的图书馆里四处查探。

在蓝色州，我们指导小联盟，

在红色州，我们也有同性恋朋友。

有爱国者反对伊拉克战争，

也有爱国者支持伊拉克战争。

我们是一个民族，

我们所有人都效忠星条旗，

我们所有人都保卫美利坚合众国。

States and blue States

最终，这次选举就是关于这一点，

我们是参与犬儒主义的政治，

还是参与希望的政治。

约翰·凯里呼吁我们怀有希望，

约翰·爱德华兹也呼吁我们怀有希望。

我这里不是在谈论盲目的乐观主义，

那种几乎是故意的无知，

认为如果我们不去想失业问题，它就会消失，

或者如果我们忽视医疗危机，它就会自行解决。

我不是在谈论这些，

我在谈论更实质性的东西，

那就是奴隶们围坐在篝火旁唱自由歌的希望，

移民们前往遥远彼岸的希望，

年轻海军中尉勇敢巡逻湄公河三角洲的希望，

工厂工人儿子敢于挑战逆境的希望，

在面对困难时怀有希望，

在面对不确定性时怀有希望，

这就是《希望的无畏》的精髓，

最终，这是上帝给予我们的最大礼物，

是这个国家的基石，

是对看不见的事物的信念，

是对未来更美好日子的信念。

我相信我们可以为中产阶级提供救济，

为劳动家庭提供机会之路。

我相信我们可以为失业者提供工作，

为无家可归者提供家园，

从美国各地的城市中拯救年轻人，远离暴力和绝望。

我相信我们背后有正义之风，

当我们站在历史的十字路口，

我们可以做出正确的选择，

应对美国面临的挑战。

今晚，如果你和我一样感受到这种能量，

如果你和我一样感受到这种紧迫性，

如果你和我一样感受到这种热情，

如果你和我一样怀有希望，

如果我们做我们必须做的事，

我毫不怀疑，

从佛罗里达到俄勒冈，

从华盛顿到缅因，

人们将在11月站起来，

约翰·凯里将宣誓就任总统，

约翰·爱德华兹将宣誓就任副总统，

这个国家将重新实现其承诺，

从这漫长的政治黑暗中，

更光明的日子将会到来。

非常感谢大家，

愿上帝保佑你们。

谢谢。

John KY believes in

America and he knows that it's not

enough for just some of us to prosper

for alongside our famous individualism

there's another ingredient in the

American Saga a belief that we're all

connected as one people if there is a

child on the south side of Chicago who

can't read that matters to me even if

it's not my child if there's a senior

citizen somewhere who can't pay for

their prescription drugs and having to

choose between medicine and the rent

that makes my life poor even if it's not

my

grandparent if there's an Arab American

family being rounded up without benefit

of an attorney or due process that

threatens my civil

liberties it is that fundamental

belief it is that fundamental belief I

am my brother's keeper I am My Sister's

Keeper that makes this country

work it's what allows us to pursue our

individual dreams and yet still come

together as one American Family e pluris

UNAM out of many

one now even as we speak there are those

who are preparing to divide us the Spin

Masters the negative ad Peddlers who

embrace the politics of anything goost

well I say to them tonight there is not

a liberal America and a conservative

America there is the United States of

America there is not a Black America and

a white America and Latino America and

Asian America there's the United States

of

America the pundants the pundits like to

slice and dice our country into red

States and blue States

red States for Republicans blue States

for Democrats but I've got news for them

too we worship an awesome God in the

blue States and we don't like federal

agents poking around in our libraries in

the red

States we coach little league in the

blue States and yes we've got some gay

friends in the red

states there are patriots who oppose the

war in Iraq and their Patriots who

supported the war in Iraq We Are One

people all of us pledging allegiance to

the Stars and Stripes all of us

defending the United States of

America in the

end in the end in the end that's what

this election is

about do we participate in a politics of

cynicism or do we participate in a

politics of

Hope John KY calls on us to Hope John

Edwards calls on us to hope I'm not

talking about blind optimism here the

almost willful ignorance that thinks

unemployment will go away if we just

don't think about it or Health Care

crisis will solve itself if we just

ignore it that's not what I'm talking

about I'm talking about something more

substantial it's the hope of slaves

sitting around a fire singing freedom

songs the hope of immigrants setting out

for diff Distant

Shores the hope of a young Naval

Lieutenant bravely patrolling the makong

Delta the hope of a mill worker's son

who dares to defy the odds the hope of a

skinny kid with a funny name who

believes that America has a place for

him

too hope hope in the face of difficulty

hope in the face of

uncertainty The Audacity Of Hope in the

end that is God's greatest gift to us

the Bedrock of this nation a belief in

Things Not Seen A belief that they're

better days ahead I believe that we can

give our middle class relief and provide

Working Families with a road to

opportunity I believe we can provide

jobs to the jobless homes to the

homeless and reclaim young people in

cities across America from violence and

despair I believe that we have a

righteous wind at our backs and that as

we stand on the cross roads of History

we can make the right choices and meet

the challenges that face US America

tonight if you feel the same energy that

I do if you feel the same urgency that I
