*CEC Daily English Broadcast*大学生攻克英语俱乐部联盟-“高校穹鹰荟”-每日英语播客】11/23,Day39: Obama’s Speech
Good afternoon, everybody. Yesterday, before votes were tallied, I shot a video that some of you may have seen /in which I said to the American people: Regardless of which side you were on in the election, regardless of whether your candidate won or lost, the sun would come up in the morning.
And that is one bit of prognosticating that actually came true. The sun is up.
Now, it is no secret that the President-elect and I have some pretty significant differences. But remember, eight years ago, President Bush and I /had some pretty significant differences.
So I have instructed my team to follow the example that President Bush’s team set eight years ago, and work as hard as we can /to make sure that this is a successful transition for the President-elect -- because we are now /all rooting for his success /in uniting and leading the country.
Now, everybody is sad /when their side loses an election. But the day after, we have to remember /that we’re actually all on one team. This is an intramural scrimmage. We’re not Democrats first. We're not Republicans first. We’re Americans first. We’re patriots first.
参考译文:奥巴马的演讲
大家下午好,你们可能也看到了,昨天在开始统计票数前,我录过一段视频。在视频里,我对美国人民说,“不论你们支持谁,不论你支持的竞选人获胜与否,太阳依旧会照常升起”。
那个小小的预言变成了现实,太阳照常升起了。
现在,当选总统和我有相当大的差异,这已经不是什么秘密了。但别忘了,八年前,小布什总统和我也有相当大的差异。
我已经指示我的团队,像八年前布什总统的团队那样,尽全力确保与当选总统成功交接。因为现在我们全都指望他成功,指望他团结并带领国家。
现在,自己的一方落选,所有人都在伤心,但之后,我们必须记住我们是一个团队。这是人民内部的小矛盾。首先我们不是民主党,我们不是共和党,我们首先是美国人,我们首先是爱国者。
