麦凯恩败选演讲(2)
It is natural. It’s natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.
今晚，很自然地，我们会感到一些失望。但是明天，我们还要继续前进，还要并肩工作，让我们的国家不断向前。
We fought–we fought as hard as we could. And though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours.
我们努力过了，尽了我们所能。虽然最后我们没有成功，但是失败是我的，不是你们的。
This campaign was and will remain the great honor of my life, and my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude for the experience and to the American people for giving me a fair hearing before deciding that Senator Obama and my old friend Senator Joe Biden should have the honor of leading us for the next four years.
这场选举已经是、并且将一直是我生命中的莫大光荣。虽然，美国人民最后决定，将未来四年领导美国的光荣使命，交给了奥巴马参议员和我的老朋友拜登参议员，但是对于这段选举的经历，我的心中只有感激。我要感谢美国人民给予我公平的机会，倾听了我的主张。
Tonight–tonight, more than any night, I hold in my heart nothing but love for this country and for all its citizens, whether they supported me or Senator Obama.
今晚，就是在此刻，我的心中比任何一个夜晚都充满了对这个国家和她的全体人民的爱，不管美国人民选择支持我或者奥巴马参议员。
I wish Godspeed to the man who was my former opponent and will be my president. And I call on all Americans, as I have often in this campaign, to not despair of our present difficulties, but to believe, a1ways, in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here.
对于我从前的竞选对手和未来的总统，我表示祝福。就像在竞选中我一再说过的，我呼吁全体美国人民，不要对现在的困难处境感到绝望，我们要永远地对这个国家的前途和伟大抱有信心。
Americans never quit. We never surrender.
美国人民从来不会放弃。我们从不认输。
We never hide from history. We make history.
我们绝不会从历史中消失。我们创造历史。
Thank you, and God b1ess you, and God b1ess America. Thank you all very much.
感谢你们。上帝保佑你们。上帝保佑美国。衷心地感谢你们所有人。
