But all of this cannot come to pass until we bring an end to thiswar in Iraq. Most of you know I opposed this war from the start. Ithought it was a tragic mistake. Today we grieve for the families whohave lost loved ones, the hearts that have been broken, and the younglives that could have been. America, its time to start bringing ourtroops home. Its time to admit that no amount of American lives canresolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someoneelses civil war. Thats why I have a plan that will bring our combattroops home by March of 2008. Letting the Iraqis know that we will not be there forever is our last, best hope to pressure the Sunni andShia to come to the table and find peace.

但只有我们结束伊拉克战争,所有的这一切才可能得以实现。

你们中的大多数人都知道,我从一开始就反对这场战争。我认为这是一个悲剧性的错误。今天,我们为那些失去亲人的家庭,无数心碎的人们以及那些消逝的年轻生命而感到悲痛。美国人民,撤回我们的军队的时候到了,承认牺牲再多美国人的生命也无法解决由别国内战所引起的政治分歧的时候到了。这就是为什么我构思了一个在2008 年3 月撤回我们作战部队计划的原因。让伊拉克人民知道,我们不可能永远驻扎在那里,这是我们迫使逊尼和什叶两派回到谈判桌前磋商寻求和平解决途径的最后也是最美好的希望。

Now, I dont believe that Senator McCain doesnt care whatsgoing on in the lives of Americans. I just think he doesnt know.

Why else would he define middle-class as someone making underfive million dollars a year How else could he propose hundreds ofbillions in tax breaks for big corporations and oil companies but notone penny of tax relief to more than one hundred million AmericansHow else could he offer a health care plan that would actually taxpeoples benefits, or an education plan that would do nothing to helpfamilies pay for college, or a plan that would privatize Social Securityand gamble your retirement

我不相信麦凯恩参议员不关心美国人的生活,我想他只是不知道。否则他怎么会将中产阶级定义为年收入少于500 万美元的人呢?否则他怎么会提出了上千亿美元的针对大企业和石油公司的减税计划,却不肯为超过一亿的普通美国大众减免哪怕只是一分钱?否则他怎么会提出实际加重了人民负担的医疗政策?怎么会提出对美国家庭毫无帮助的教育政策?怎么会提出社会保障的私人账户计划,这不是拿你的退休金赌博吗?

Thats what Abraham Lincoln understood. He had his doubts.

He had his defeats. He had his setbacks. But through his will and hiswords, he moved a nation and helped free a people. It is because ofthe millions who rallied to his cause that we are no longer divided,North and South, slave and free. It is because men and women ofevery race, from every walk of life, continued to march for freedomlong after Lincoln was laid to rest, that today we have the chanceto face the challenges of this millennium together, as one people-asAmericans.

这就是亚伯拉罕·林肯的信念。林肯有自己的困惑,自己的失败,也有自己的挫折。但是,通过他的意志和语言,他推动了整个国家的前进,并协助我们解放了一个民族。正是因为数百万人支持他的事业,所以我们不再分裂,不论南方还是北方,奴隶抑或自由人。正是因为各个种族、各行各业的人们在林肯故去后继续为争取自由而长久地奋斗,今天我们才有机会作为一个民族——美国人民来共同面对新千年的挑战。
