Concession Speech: I Endorse Obama -- By Hillary Clinton

Concession Speech: I Endorse Obama So I want to say to my supporters: When you hear people saying or think to yourself, "If only" or "What if ", I say, please, don’t go there. Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. Life is too short; time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next President. And I hope and pray that all of you will join me in that effort. 【参考译文】 所以，我要告诉我的支持者们：当你们听到有人说或者自己琢磨：真希望如何如何，或者如果怎样就会怎样，我劝你千万别那样做。浪费在后悔上的每一秒都会妨碍我们向前。 生命太短暂，时间太宝贵，沉湎于过去代价太高。我们必须面对现实，共同努力。正因为如此，我将鞠躬尽瘁确保奥巴马参议员成为下届总统。 我衷心希望并祈求你们和我一起为他加油，为他争取。
