盡在百數十字之中

奧巴馬勝選，他的勝選宣言言簡意賅，調子鮮明而且恰到好處，振奮、許諾、感謝、安慰，盡在百數十字之中。

"Our economy is recovering, a decade of war is ending, a long campaign is now over," he told a crowd of cheering supporters in Chicago. "And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you and you have made me a better president." Obama added he has "never been more hopeful about America. ... We're not as divided as our politics suggest. We remain more than a collection of blue states and red states."

美國的總統選舉毋疑是很多億美鈔堆叠而成的大show，但也有真誠信念和真誠的理念競爭。這樣的普選展示一個民族的堅持和力量。

試譯如下：

「我們的經濟正在復蘇，十年戰爭臨近終止，漫長的選戰在此刻劃上句號。」他在芝加哥向歡呼的支持群眾說。「而且無論我曾否贏得你的一票，我聽到你的聲音，你令我長進，成為一個更好的總統。」奧巴馬說自己「從未對美國更充滿希望。…我們的分歧，並不如政治紛爭的表象那般嚴重。我們 並非僅僅一堆紅色藍色州分的結合而已。」
