Always Aim High

希拉里退选演讲 Always Aim High Now, the journey ahead will not be easy. Some will say we can’t do it, that it’s too hard, we're just not up to the task. But for as long as America has existed, it has been the American way to reject can’t-do claims and to choose instead to stretch the boundaries of the possible through hard work, determination, and a pioneering spirit. It is this belief, this optimism that Senator Obama and I share and that has inspired so many millions of our supporters to make their voices heard. So today I am standing with Senator Obama to say: Yes, we can! To those who are disappointed that we couldn’t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on. 【参考译文】 然而，前方的征程并不平坦。有些人会说，我们做不到，太难了。 我们不能胜任这个工作。但自美国诞生起，就有了一条永不言不的美国 之路，通过辛苦工作，决心和开拓精神争取更多的可能。 正是这种奥巴马参议员和我一起分享的信念和乐观主义精神，激励 了数以百万计的支持者们发出了他们的声音。所以今天我与奥巴马参议 员一起欢呼：是的，我们可以！ 许多人非常失望，因我们未能走完全程，特别是那些年轻人，为竞 选竭尽心力。如果因为我的功败垂成，让你们在以后追求自己的目标时 丧失勇气，我会万分难过。 始终志存高远，勤奋工作，执着信念。跌倒了，仍然坚守信仰；被击倒，马上站起来，决不要听任何人说你不能或不该继续前行。
