And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us, if they could raise beams of steel to the sky, send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button...then surely we can keep on sacrificing and building for our own kids and grandkids.如果我们的父母先辈可以为了我们而艰苦奋斗,如果他们可以建起摩天大楼,把人类送上月球,如果他们可以用一根按钮就把世界连接,那是当然,我们也可以我们的后代而牺牲自我,努力建设。
And if so many brave men and women could wear our countrys uniform and sacrifice their lives for our most fundamental rights...then surely we can do our part as citizens of this great democracy to exercise those rights...surely, we can get to the polls on Election Day and make our voices heard.如果那么多英勇的军人可以穿起戎装上阵,为捍卫我们的根本利益牺牲生命,那么当然作为这个民主之国的一份子我们也可以发挥自己的作用,当然我们也可以通过投票,让我们的呼声响彻大选之日。
If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire, if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores, if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote, if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time, if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream, and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love, then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.如果农民和铁匠都可以从一个帝国中谋求独立,如果移民们可以放下从前的一切来到这里寻求美好的生活;如果妇女们冒着牢狱之灾也要投票;如果一代人可以打败大萧条,成就一番事业;如果一位年轻的牧师可以用他的正义理想把我们送上平等之巅;如果美国人民为他们的身份而自豪,为他们所爱的人而勇敢的站在讲台上。那么当然,当然我们可以给人们平等的机会,去实现自己的美国梦!
