这个博客荒了两个多月了，拓一下荒吧。

 

今天为去美国读书的冷冰送行，Karen特意介绍火焱加入。名字诗意又好记，人也风趣幽默。冰火相遇，制造了不少水蒸气，于是，两个多小时的晚餐，笑料不断，好像好久都没有这样笑了，以至于脸上的肌肉都酸疼了。

 

Karen是时尚先锋，至少在我眼中一直是这样的。这么说吧，如果我碰巧“宅”了一段时间，可能几个月，然后和Karen约见一面，只要听她随便说点什么，我就大可放心自己不会太落后于时代了。当然她的功力远不止于此，举个让我不可思议的例子吧，那些法国品牌，她对不同款式在北京的价格了如指掌，07年在泰国和新加坡的店里，竟然毫不费力如数家珍地进行价格对比，更重要的，无论什么款式，她总是可以很有信心地说出哪家店有，哪年的款式，以及，精确的价格... 天哪

 

昨天见到久违的小菜和她先生吴同学，他们一直都特别好， 总是很有默契，长得也越来越像了。但是因为有我在场呢，还总是要表现得不那么亲密，总是以“老夫老妻”为借口，把中心放到我这里。“小园是我们两个平时聊天的一个重要话题” 类似的话，其实还有其他couples也这样告诉过我。看来我已经习惯和安于当灯泡了。

 

在新加坡读书的硕士论文是关于中国网络游戏产业，研究数据来自于对中国主要网游公司高层的采访，然后用管理学理论加上我的对于中西文化差异的偏中国化理解，去分析行业活力。导师进一步引入全球化理论和文化产业发展理论，进行了完整的分析，并成功发表，她说，我是我们系第一个在传播学学术杂志发表论文的硕士生。嗯，真令人高兴:）http://www2.eptic.com.br/arquivos/Revistas/vol.XI,n2,2009/11-PeichiChungJiangPingYuan.pdf 不过今天回家看到了在社科院毕业时论文答辩的材料，想起当年应对答辩委员会提问时的信心十足和意气风发，我还是从心底里觉得那篇关于股票市场体制成因的论文，写得更加透彻和深入，虽然文献检索部分不那么严谨，但分析的确是更加全面和有说服力。也许是母语的缘故吧，写作时更容易达到思如泉涌并顺利表达出来的境界。只是，好久没有Presentation了，期待中... ...

 

 

 

 

 五一假期也跟着好久不见的Winnie闹哄哄地去海淀剧院看了场《南京南京》，排着十几人的长队买到票，又在剧院内买了昂贵的可乐和爆米花。。。所以还是带着一点期望去的，只是，非常失望而归，还是应了Patric的话了，总是需要涂点颜色的，不然怎么会审批... ... 矛头似乎指向一个汉奸。多年前在南京看到的历史照片，只有两个日本兵带着上万名中国老百姓走在大街上，可怜的人们一直在说说笑笑，并不知前路是死亡，也无意反抗。

 

关于日本侵华的题材，我还是最喜欢《鬼子来了》，幽默又深刻，这是一部多年过去了仍印象深刻的影片。姜文在《鬼子来了》中，分别从中国平民和日本军人的视角和言行来表现中日文化的差异，展示历史、误解和各自的坚持，文化差异带来幽默，也带来意想不到的悲伤结局，全片合理连贯紧凑，让我觉得如此到位和真实。

 

后来转去蓝羊看了许鞍华的《天水园的日日夜夜》，感受了安静无奈的日日夜夜里，温暖地蔓延的气息。香港社会的平民，跟新加坡真的很像。教会的查经学习也如出一辙，令人有恍如昨日的感觉，而日子一如既往在静静地孤单地流走... ...

一家中国本土有名的投资者关系公司的董事长跟我说，她们去证监会做presentation，被那里的官员告知，“我们只听说过投资者教育，没听说过投资者关系”... 似乎中国的投资者是需要被教导的，投资者不需要被服务，投资者关系不需要维护... ... 也许，只服务和维护政府关系就行了吧，现在也许还多了媒体关系... ...

 

就好像中国上市公司的股东，同样是shareholder（股东），却硬被人为地归小类为股民（也称“散户”）和大股东，而不是英文中划分的机构投资者和个人投资者... ... 总让我感觉可怜的绝大部分中国股市投资者受到了言语歧视。

 聊天时谈到最近的电影。  

《非诚勿扰》最初是在影院里看的，整个影片轻松有趣，像北京人家长里短的聊天，但看到后来哭了，是因为喜欢舒淇，觉得她的眼神很纯净，有独特的味道。因为这又是一部让我又哭又笑的电影，所以买了一张光盘作为收藏。但在家看第二遍的时候，就觉得索然无味了。不像日本电影《情书》，看了几十遍了，每一遍都有不同的感受，看完第一遍就知道谜底以后，开始注意之前的故事和场景，发现每一个细节的安排，眼神、语言、拍摄角度、光线和背景... ... 都那么细腻，加深了这些感受，值得回味... ...

 

《海角七号》是在家里看的。台湾小镇及渔民的生活，没有发掘出我的太多同感，更没看出影片有啥政治化导向。只是，那位已逝日本军人用心撰写了一生的情书，辗转到小镇上，那些年心路历程的展开，真实、美丽、深沉、又残忍，让我泪流满面... ... 影片结束时，小桌上已堆满了用来擦拭鼻涕眼泪的面巾纸。

 

这些年所看过的电影中，那些可以反映出的日本人对爱的理解的影片，总会让我感到深刻和残忍。早就觉得日本人和天蝎座的特征很相像。刚刚用“日本人＋天蝎座”组合google了一下，还真发现了一篇写得详细的分析，上面说，“日本人是天蝎座的，德国人是摩羯座的，美国人是射手座的，法国人是双鱼座... ...” http://qzone.qq.com/blog/16316631-1227760440

 

那么，真实生活中，日本人的爱情，到底是怎样的呢？

 

12月8日晚上，一个人走在小庄，看到朝阳区图书馆下面的小剧院改头换面，九个放映厅，不仅放映电影，还有好几家民间剧社出品的话剧。电影行业市场化后，和国际“接轨”了，形式上看起来是这样吧。作为消费者，我看到的是电影票价和新加坡的水平不相上下。话剧业呢，也许人艺昔日不可撼动的垄断地位开始动摇，因为记得人艺的话剧，票价固定而且昂贵，每次都要咬咬牙才决定去看一场呢。但现在看到的话剧票价则低廉得不可思议... ... 而且剧社名称都很陌生，至少对我很陌生。他们仍有生存的空间和土壤，真好

 

忍不住买票进去看了一场<梅兰芳>。整个影片画面很美，也有导演想要表达的鲜明主题（也许太鲜明了，非要让孙红雷等情绪强烈地说出来不可 ），但感觉整体很松散，有些场景莫名其妙，最重要的，所推崇的价值观让我很难认同。

 

如果说这部影片有什么角色让我感动和印象深刻，那么，这个人不是对自己的命运沉默软弱的梅兰芳（黎明饰），不是张牙舞爪动辄大吼大叫的经纪人邱如白（孙红雷饰），不是美艳但让我感觉有点装腔作势的梅兰芳妻子（陈红饰），而是被“推翻”和“打倒”的老一代京剧名伶十三燕。这两天仍仿佛历历在目的，是他出现的那些画面。被观众扔东西骂场儿，受尽精神凌辱之际仍站在戏台上认真演戏的坚持；因年迈而被质疑武戏衰退，便无声地用翻筋斗来证明自己才艺的倔强；对于京剧舞台的尊重；对于提高伶人地位的殷切期待；以及，安静地躺在藤椅上离世... ...很多细节都表达了他对京剧事业的强烈热爱和尊重；对皇权的信仰和忠诚；还有，没有随波逐流的自尊和自立。那样一种单纯又浓厚的精神力量让我感动不已。这两天都为他的命运而感到难过和心痛... ...

 

戏内，梅兰芳因表达了对个体情感的尊重而赢得市场，获得功名；为何在戏外，竟然表现为商业竞争，结果是对一份真实而同样可贵和值得尊敬的深沉美好的个体情感和生命的无形杀戮呢？

 

另外一个让我印象深刻的角色，也许是孟小冬（章子怡饰），对艺术的欣赏和好学态度，开朗坦荡的个性。她离开时的沉默，让我感受到内心的坚强。

 

北京的严冬季节，寒风瑟瑟，不禁想起Victor最近在blog上的诗

 

“世界周而复始，凋零的是个体”… …

 

Simple math to answer the following questions:

 

 

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint, it goes like this,

 

If ABCDEFGHIGKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

is represented as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26, respectively,

 

Then

HARD WORK = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

KNOWLEDGE = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

ATTITUDE = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

 

While

BULLSHIT = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

ASS KISSING = 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 127%

 

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while HARD WORK and KNOWLEDGE will get you close, and ATTITUDE will get you there, it's the BULLSHIT and ASS KISSING that will put you over the top!

傍晚时分，坐在咖啡馆里悠闲地品咖啡，手机短信响起 “您尾号为xx的招行信用卡于11月24日18时38分消费美元79.00元...”惊诧，查看钱包里的信用卡，还好，还在... ...谁在使用我的信用卡啊？紧张得直冒冷汗。立即拨打400-820-5555，拨1拨1再拨9查询这笔可疑交易，得到的答复是：刚刚该卡在美国通过亚马逊（amazon）网站的交易消费了79美元。竟然是国际犯罪。

 

招行的处理办法是：立即停卡（18时42分），四个工作日内查明这笔交易，然后将遗失的金额补给我。金额不大，但还是让我心有余悸。幸好有短信业务，可以及时止损。

=====

11月27日晨

 

招行查明了原因：10月份我曾通过Amazon网站买书，这样我就自动/被迫成为他们的会员，然后他们在没有通知我/经我授权的情况下，就自行从我的帐户里扣除了79美元年费。

 

这个理由听起来更加恐怖，似乎只要我使用过网上交易，那个网站的管理员就可以随意使用我的信用卡了！

 

Google了一下，79美元强制扣款的事情，其实早已激起民愤了 http://stylizedfacts.com/coruscation/2007/05/amazon_prime_79_refund_class_a.html

 

我立即写信给Amazon，说明我无意成为他们的会员，所以请退还会费。得到如下答复：

 

Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com with your concern.
I am glad to take this opportunity to address you in this regard. Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience that has Caused.
Your Amazon Prime membership has been canceled, per your request.
Our records indicate that you haven't used your Amazon Prime membership benefits, so I've requested a full refund of $79 for the membership fee. The refund should be processed within the next 2-3 business days and will appear as a credit on your next credit card billing statement.

好吧，看看三个工作日之内，他们是否会退还79美元给我吧... ...

Hello，Chicago!
芝城父老，别来无恙，

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
余尝闻世人有疑，不知当今美利坚凡事皆可成就耶？开国先贤之志方岿然于世耶？民主之伟力不减于昔年耶？凡存诸疑者，今夕当可释然。

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
今夕之释然，皆蒙美利坚民众之协力——学塾祠庙之外，市井乡野之间，万千父老心焦似焚，苦待竟日，愿献一票之力。其中，平生未尝涉国事者，数亦不少，而今有此义举，皆因一念不衰——今夫天下，非同既往，愿发吁天之声，必成动地之势。

It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
今夕之释然，皆仰吾国同胞之齐心——何谈贫富老幼之差、党社宗族之异，惶论发肤肌体之别、志趣爱恶之分。吾国既以“合众”为名，吾辈则更无疏离之意，红蓝二党并肩而立，数十邦州挽手相合，无分你我，共称一家，昂然于世，齐声一呼，天下乃有此释然。

It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
今夕之释然，皆因愤懑者之镇静，忧惧者之勇气，犹疑者之笃定——平素世间种种，消磨其志向，溃灭其梦想，而值此风云之际，除旧更新，当仁不让，倾力而动乾坤者，更何人哉！

It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
俟之诚久，其志弥坚。幸天地明察，乃有今日，乃有此刻，乃有此一选举，乃有我亿万美利坚大好国民——吾邦之大变革，方得自兹而始也！

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.
Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he’s fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they’ve achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.
顷接参议员麦君凯恩电，虽未得晤，幸有一谈，其言谆谆，其意诚诚，鄙人感佩之至。选战期内，麦君劳碌几重，奔波几许，皆为国家计。诸般求索，时日良多，皆非余所能及。于国于民之惊人牺牲，亦非庸庸如吾辈者所可想见。以麦君之胆魄襟怀，能为吾邦所用，实国家之幸，万民之幸也。前途漫漫，其事未竟，余所盼瞩由衷者，唯共麦凯恩君、佩林君，及诸贤士比肩，会吾等之绵力，成吾邦之大业。

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
乔君拜登，亦吾所感铭至深者也。竞选之业，艰险不足与外人道，幸有乔君之辅佐，其诚天可鉴之。乔君其人，素言恳辞切，意笃情真，盖尝经斯兰克顿街乡邻之提命，饱聆特拉华州父老之晤教也。他日余既登总统之位，乔君必当副之。

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation’s next first lady Michelle Obama.
拙荆米氏，追随鄙人凡一十六年，既为爱侣，更为挚友，既为吾阖家之基石，又乃余终生之至爱。鄙人尝自忖度，倘无贤妻若此，今朝阔论高谈于此处者，不知何人矣！

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.
小女萨沙、玛丽，余素深喜之。昔日为父尝与汝等言，此番选战若得一胜，愿购小犬一头相赠，待阖家乔迁总统府邸之日，偕汝等同进吾宅。今当胜负已出，既有一诺在前，必自践行不欺也。

And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
祖母大人虽已仙逝，料必有灵在天，俯察人寰，想应颔首开颜矣。吾奥巴马氏列祖列宗，亦当如是。今日今时，此情此景，鄙人追思之心，乌鸟之情，曷其有极！唯生死陌路，仙凡有别，虽怀反哺之心，而无答报之门也！

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.
至若玛雅、艾玛二姐妹，以及吾家诸同胞，所惠我者，亦属良多，久沐恩德，此当拜谢。

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best — the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
大卫•普劳夫君，大卫•阿克塞罗德君，一为鄙人竞选事务之经理，一为鄙人国事韬略之智囊。余尝自喟叹，左右谋士，余所仰赖者，皆亘古未见之贤才。普阿二君，则更此中之翘楚。区区不才，有何德能，可得膀臂若此？当此功成之际，感荷之心，亦自拳拳。

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
至于鄙人铭之肺腑，须臾不敢忘怀者，则诸位也。盖今日鄙人之胜绩，实诸位之胜绩，鄙人之荣光，实诸位之荣光！

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
余素朴陋，虽有参选之心，并无必胜之志。谋事之初，银资乏匮，从者寥寥；起事之地，皆蔽寓荒斋，不在高阁；成事之基，无非寻常百姓，涓滴之献。

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
今日之胜，有赖一众热血青年，抛其家，别其室，不辞其苦，不计其酬，矻矻于此——“国中青年爱国之心已泯”之谬论，今可休矣！今日之胜，有赖壮志未已之诸前辈，无惧寒暑，行走奔波，劝说民众。今日之胜，乃数百万美利坚民众之胜，察其意，皆属踊跃为国，观其行，处处谨严有序，足堪告慰二百年前开国之先贤——民有、民治、民享之政体，未尝动摇也！

This is your victory.
嗟夫！此实诸位之功也！

And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
余知诸君之意非在此一选举，亦非在鄙人一身。盖瞻前路之艰辛，益知此任非同小可也。虽今夕欢贺于此，而明朝酒醒，大患仍自当前，不容有怠——两地烽烟熊熊而起，四海之内纷纷而乱，金融业界惶惶而不得宁。

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage or pay their doctors’ bills or save enough for their child’s college education. There’s new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
是夜，饮宴笙歌之声不绝于耳，而异邦大漠群山中，吾国大好青年，兀自苦戍边塞，惝恍竟夜，性命尚未得安。吾国千万庶民，为人父母者，兀自惴惴难眠，所忧者，乃房宅所贷、病患之费、抚育之资也。至若吾国能源之耗，百业之兴，庠序之教，攻伐之术，怀远之道，亦皆吾等忡忡挂怀者也。

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there.
渺渺乎其远，如不可达，危危乎其高，若不可攀。朝夕岁月，焉得成就？余不揣愚钝，愿以四载韶华，付诸此业，胜算何如虽不可知，然昂扬必胜之奇志，成就伟业之壮怀，平生未之有也。君子一诺，其重何如，此地今夕，愿斗胆发一狂言——吾辈既在，其事必成！

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it’s been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
逶迤坎坷，份内之事。异见争端，料必有之。国中之政府，谅非无所不能者。余所秉承不移者，唯忠信矣。倘有危难于前，必无欺瞒于世。诸君言论臧否，纵悖逆相左之议，余必当洗耳以聆。于此之外，更当恳请诸君，不吝心血，致力报效，以振吾美利坚重兴之业。余亦别无他想，唯盼吾侪协力，延继吾国既肇二百二十一年之大统，汇涓滴之力，而成万世之业。

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
昔年冬日，余有志于斯，投身此业，屈指算来，倏然近二载矣。当此秋夜，追思反省，仍无溃退逃亡之意。选战之胜，无非一役之功，余梦寐所思矢志所求者，非在乎此。溯源究本，此役之胜，不过革世变时一大好良机耳。倘止步于斯，垂手而待，或无诸君倾力相援，则壮志丰功，无非泡影，诸般梦想，终必虚妄。

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other. Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers. In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people.
爱国之心，报国之念，吾人固有之，然逢今日之世，此心此念亦当一变——吾辈各执己业，益当各竭其力，各尽其命，非但为一己之利，而更期普世之荣。今岁，金融业界动荡多舛，细审观之，当可以之为鉴——实业之损，亦是金融之伤。可知，既在邦域之内，吾辈荣辱休戚，皆相与共矣！

Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.Those are values that we all share.
党争纷纭，阴谋卑鄙，愚鲁无知，皆腐蚀清白、惑乱政局之弊也，其缘由已久，余今愿与诸君协力，共灭除之。昔年曾有此郡先贤，执共和党之帜，而掌总统府之权。自强独立，自由统一等信念，皆斯人之所倡，亦吾辈之所宗。

And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
今岁选战，吾民主党人幸有一胜，然谦逊和合之心未尝少减。余素信服者，乃山河破碎之际，林肯总统之言——“既是至亲，终不为敌。虽弩张剑拔，而血脉未尝断，情义不少减。”

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
固然，仍有四方志士，不为鄙人所动，另有高明之选。虽终悭此一票之缘，然诸君高论，余亦声声在耳，字字在心。倘能得诸君之援手，鄙人幸甚。他日待余总而统之，亦必不另眼以待也。

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
吾邦民众，散居天下，各安其命，而其志一也。吾邦鼎盛之势，今已乍现锋芒。

To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
至于心怀叵测，与世人为仇、与天下为敌者，吾邦猛志常在，彼等必取灭亡。心思纯良，久慕大同者，吾辈当倾力以助，鼎力相援。犹疑未定，不知吾自由之邦兴衰如何者，吾辈愿以今日盛况以告之——美利坚之所以谓之“美”者，非刀兵之强，金银之众，实民主、自由、机遇、梦想之美也！

That’s the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we’ve already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
天自有道，地自有德，恩赋吾邦无上异禀——无他，唯变而已矣。美利坚变革不怠，合众国日趋尽善。当以过往先贤之伟绩，助吾侪今日之雄心，开子孙万世之辉光。

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight’s about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
今岁选战，多开亘古之先，屡传千秋佳话。感我至深者，亚特兰大之老妪安•尼克松•库帕也——库氏之一票，于数百万美利坚民众之选票无异，其所以引人称奇者，其人今岁高龄一百有六矣。

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
当其父辈之时，天道不彰，黑人为奴。库氏其生也不逢时，汽车尚不行于道，飞机未曾起于空，库氏既属黑人，又系女流，票选一事，概无瓜葛。

And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
今日今时，回溯库氏百岁之涯，但见吾邦先贤屡败屡战，且退且进，悲欣交集，甘苦杂陈。幸而正道存焉，壮志存焉，曰：吾辈既在，无所不能。

At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
万马齐喑，其事堪哀，吾邦女界怒而起，愤而争，苦战不歇，历数十载。幸哉库氏，以百岁之高龄，终得亲见女流自立于世，重获天赋之权——吾辈既在，无所不能！

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
当百业萧条，国人绝望哀鸣之际，库氏亲见吾美利坚出旷世之新政，挽狂澜于既倒，扶大厦之将倾，退畏惧之势，扶奋勇之心，终至人各有位，民心乃安——吾辈既在，无所不能！

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
当吾国良港遭袭，天下桀纣当道，暴政肆虐之时，库氏亲见豪杰群起，民主不衰——吾辈既在，无所不能！

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.
蒙哥马利公车之罢辍，伯明翰城黑人之群起，塞尔玛城血雨腥风之事，库氏般般亲历。更曾亲聆亚特兰大传教之士振臂登高之呼——“吾等必胜！”诚哉斯言！吾辈既在，无所不能！

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
俟科学昌明于世，创想通贯一时，既登广寒之阙，又溃柏林之墙。洋洋乎！有百年如是，乃见今岁选战中，库氏之一票。浩浩兮！一百零六载交锋更迭，方有美利坚今日之变革——吾辈既在，无所不能！

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves — if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
转眼兴亡过手，而今迈步从头。追昔抚今，不禁扪心而问——俟再历百年岁月，倘吾等后辈儿孙，亦有得享高寿如库氏者，复可见何等之变数？吾辈今日之功，他年可得而见之乎？

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
所谓天命时运，莫过于此——当为吾邦万民造安身立命之业，为吾辈儿孙启各显雄才之门，为寰宇各国创太平静好之世，为吾等壮志赋千秋不灭之元神。吾邦立国之本，必将光耀于天下。万千同胞，当如一人，一息尚存，梦想不灭。纵有世人旁观在侧，而疑窦生焉，吾辈亦当以千秋不易之训共答之曰——吾辈既在，无所不能！

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.
拜谢诸君。愿天佑吾民，天佑吾邦。
